Certain terms of the Units, including the number of Units granted, vesting date(s) and Settlement Date, are set forth in the Agreement.

2 . ACCOUNT FOR EMPLOYEE . The Company shall maintain a bookkeeping account for Employee (the “Account”) reflecting the number of Units then credited to Employee hereunder as a result of such grant of Units and any crediting of additional Units to Employee pursuant to payments equivalent to dividends paid on Common Stock under Section 5 hereof (“Dividend Equivalents”).
3 . NONTRANSFERABILITY . Until Units are settled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Employee may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, margin or otherwise encumber or dispose of Units or any rights hereunder to any third party other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except for transfers to a Beneficiary or as otherwise permitted and subject to the conditions under Section 9.2 of the Plan.
4 . TERMINATION PROVISIONS . The following provisions will govern the vesting, forfeiture and settlement of the Units that are not vested as of immediately prior to Employee’s Termination of Employment, in each case, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and subject to any delay provided for in Section 8(a) hereof:
(a) Death or Disability . In the event of (i) Employee’s Termination of Employment due to death or (ii) Employee’s Disability (as defined below), all Units then outstanding, if not previously vested, will immediately vest, and all Units will be settled in accordance with the settlement terms set out in the Agreement, giving effect to any valid deferral election of Employee then in effect.

(c) Termination by the Company Without Cause, other than in connection with a Change of Control . In the event of Employee's Termination of Employment by the Company or any Group Entity for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability, which Termination of Employment occurs prior to a Change of Control or more than two years following a Change of Control, Units not vested at the date of Termination of Employment shall not be forfeited, but will continue to vest and be settled in accordance with the vesting and settlement schedules specified in the Agreement, provided that Employee executes a settlement agreement and release and a restrictive covenant agreement substantially as set forth in Section 8(a) of the Employment Agreement, in accordance with and for a term not to exceed eighteen (18) months as provided by the Incentive Compensation Plan.

(e) Termination by the Company without Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason in connection with a Change of Control . In the event of Employee’s Termination of Employment (i) by the Company or any Group Entity for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability or (ii) by Employee for Good Reason, in each case, during the two-year period following a Change of Control which constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Code Section 409A (a “409A Change of Control”), all Units not vested as of the date of Termination of Employment will immediately vest in full as of the date of Termination of Employment and will be settled in acc |
