          in this Agreement and Plan.

     (b)  The Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
          hypothecated or otherwise disposed of; and neither the right to
          receive the Shares nor any interest under the Plan may be assigned by
          the Employee, and any attempted assignment shall be void.

     (c)  Any certificates representing the Shares shall be held by the
          Secretary of the Company and shall, at the option of the Company, bear

     any income withholding taxes required by the Company to be collected upon
     the expiration of the Restricted Period.
