have attained at least the age of sixty (60) and have completed at least ten
(10) years of service and (ii) you cease to be an employee of the Company or an
Affiliate for any reason, other than for Cause, after the Award Date but prior
to the end of the Restriction Period, you will continue to vest in your Units

be deemed to create a contract or other promise of continued employment with the

you, the provisions of applicable Company policies that may be adopted from time
to time or applicable law or regulation.

therefor, Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated
or disposed of by you and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or
similar process.

E.

United States federal, state and/or other tax rates (under the laws of the
jurisdictions in which you reside or that may otherwise be applicable to you)
with respect to Units, issuance of Shares and cash in lieu of dividends. The

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tax and income tax withholding attributable to the pyramiding of FICA tax and
income tax withholding due to the foregoing payments.
F.
Clawback. If you are an elected officer, in addition to any other remedies
available to the Company (but subject to applicable law), if the Board
determines that it is appropriate, the Company may recover (in whole or in part)
any payment made pursuant to this Award where: (1) the payment was predicated
upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a
restatement of Company financial statements filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission; (2) the Board determines that you engaged in knowing or
intentional fraudulent or illegal conduct that caused or substantially caused
the need for the restatement; and (3) a lower payment would have been made to
you pursuant to the Award based upon the restated financial results. In any such
instance, the Company will, to the extent practicable, seek to recover from you
the amount by which the payment pursuant to the Award for the relevant period
exceeded the lower payment that would have been made based on the restated
financial results. The Company's right of recovery applies to both the vested
and unvested portion of the Award.

G.
Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that this Agreement constitutes a

administration of this Award (including time and manner of payments under it)
shall comply with Section 409A.
