As soon as practicable after the Shares of Restricted Stock shall have vested in the manner set forth in Paragraphs 3 or 6, the Company will have the Shares listed in street name with a brokerage company of the Company’s choice, free of any restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the Shares be so listed unless and until the Shares have vested and all other terms and conditions in this Agreement have been satisfied. By accepting the Restricted Stock, the Employee irrevocably nominates and appoints the Secretary of the Company as agent (the “Agent”) for purposes of surrendering or transferring the Restricted Stock to the Company upon any forfeiture or transfer required or authorized by this Agreement. This power is intended as a power coupled with an interest and will survive the Employee’s death. In addition, it is intended as a durable power and will survive the Employee’s disability.
