“Award” means a grant made under this Plan in the form of Performance Shares, Restricted Stock, Restricted Share Rights, Options, Performance Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, or Stock Awards.

The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Restricted Share Units under the Plan to individuals who may be Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary. The decision is limited and entered into based upon the express assumption and condition that any Restricted Share Units will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any Subsidiary, including the Employer, on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Award Terms. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Restricted Share Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Restricted Share Units shall not become part of any employment or service agreement (whether with the Company or any Subsidiary, including the Employer) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Furthermore, the Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from the grant of Restricted Share Units, which is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the Restricted Share Units and the underlying Shares is unknown and unpredictable. The Participant also understands that the grant of Restricted Share Units would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions set forth hereinabove; thus, the Participant understands, acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the Restricted Share Unit and any right to the underlying Shares shall be null and void.
