with the Company as of each vesting date.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms, conditions and definitions of the Employment Agreement, in the
event the Executive's employment is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause
(other than due to Disability or death), (ii) by reason of a Constructive
Termination, or (iii) upon expiration of the Term of Employment following the
Company's having given a notice of non-extension of the Term of Employment, the
interest of the Executive in the Restricted Stock shall vest as to any portion
of the grant that would have vested within twelve (12) months of the termination
date had the Executive remained employed.
12. Restrictions.
(a) No portion of the Restricted Stock or rights granted hereunder
may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed
of by the Executive until such portion of the Restricted Stock becomes vested in
accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. The period of time between the date
hereof and the date all Restricted Stock becomes vested is referred to herein as
the "Restriction Period."
(b) If the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated,
the balance of any restricted stock subject to the provisions of this Agreement
which has not vested pursuant to Section 3 above at the time of the Executive's
termination of employment shall be forfeited and ownership transferred back to
the Company.
13. Executive Shareholder Rights.
During the Restriction Period, the Executive shall have all the rights
of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock except for the right to
transfer the Restricted Stock, as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.
Accordingly, the Executive shall have the right to vote the Restricted Stock and
to receive any cash dividends paid to or made with respect to the Restricted
Stock, provided, however, that dividends paid, if any, with respect to that
Restricted Stock which has not vested at the time of the dividend payment shall
be held in the custody of the Company and shall be subject to the same
restrictions that apply to the corresponding Restricted Stock.
14. Changes in Stock.
In the event that as a result of (a) any stock dividend, stock split or
other change in the Restricted Stock, or (b) any merger or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets or other acquisition of the Company or Holding
Corp., and by virtue of any such change, the Executive shall in her capacity as
owner of unvested shares of Restricted Stock which have been awarded to her (the
"Prior Stock") be entitled to new or additional or different shares or
securities, such new or additional or different shares or securities shall
thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock and shall be subject to
all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Stock
pursuant to this Agreement.
15. Taxes.
The Executive shall be liable for any and all taxes, including
withholding taxes, arising out of this grant or the vesting of Restricted Stock
hereunder. The Executive may elect to satisfy such withholding tax obligation by
having the Company retain Restricted Stock having a fair market value equal to
the Company's minimum withholding obligation.

any shares of Restricted Stock which shall have been sold or transferred in

dividends to any transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred.
(b) The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to
take such action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this
Agreement.
(c) Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon delivery to the Executive at
