all shares of Restricted Stock shall immediately and automatically be forfeited
and returned to the Company.
3. VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK. The restrictions and conditions in
Paragraph 2 of this Agreement shall lapse on the Vesting Date or Dates specified
in the following schedule so long as the Grantee remains an employee of the

currently to the Grantee.

purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law
to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Grantee may elect to have
the required minimum tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part,

Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due.
