2.    Terms and Conditions.
(a)    Vesting. Subject to continued employment with the Company or any
Affiliate or Subsidiary or in the case of terminations of employment due to
Retirement as provided in Section 3(a), twenty five percent (25%) of the RSUs
(rounded to the nearest whole restricted stock unit) shall vest on each of the
first four anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each such date, a “Vesting
Date”).
(b)    Settlement. The obligation to make payments and distributions with
respect to RSUs shall only be satisfied through the issuance of one share of
Stock for each vested RSU (the “settlement”) and the settlement of the RSUs may
be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee
shall determine. The Company undertakes and agrees not to exercise its right
under the Plan to settle the RSUs in any other means other than Stock. RSUs
shall be settled as soon as practicable after the earliest of (i) the applicable
Vesting Date, (ii) an involuntary termination of employment by the Company or
any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Participant who will not attain age 55 at any
time before the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, (iii) the Vesting Date
that immediately follows (A) an involuntary termination of employment by the
Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Participant who otherwise meets the
criteria for Retirement at any time before the fourth anniversary of the Date of
Grant, but for the receipt of severance, (B) voluntary termination by the
Participant on or after age 55 that does not constitute a Retirement, or (C)
Retirement (as defined in Section 3(a)) within six months after the Date of
Grant, (iv) death, or (v) termination of employment by reason of Disability. For
payment time or events described in clauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (v), settlement
shall in no event be later than March 15 of the year following the year of such
payment time or event, as applicable. For purposes of this Agreement, each date
on which RSUs are settled pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a
“Settlement Date.” For purposes of this Agreement and to the extent applicable
to the Participant, the term “termination of employment” shall be interpreted to
comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”). To the
extent payments are made during the periods permitted under Section 409A
(including any applicable periods before or after the specified payment dates
set forth in this Section 2(b)), the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied
its obligations under the Plan and shall be deemed not to be in breach of its
payments obligations hereunder.
(c)    Dividend Equivalents and Voting Rights. Participant will from time to
time be credited with additional RSUs (including a fractional RSU), the number
of which will be determined by dividing:
(i)    The product obtained by multiplying the amount of each dividend
(including extraordinary dividend if so determined by the Company) declared and
paid by the Company on the Stock on a per share basis during the Vesting Period
by the number of RSUs recorded in Participant's account on the record date for
payment of any such dividend, by
(ii)    The Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on the dividend payment
date for such dividend.

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

Subject to continued employment with the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary
or as otherwise provided in Section 3, the additional RSUs shall vest and be
settled at the same time and in the same proportion as the Initial Grant. No
additional RSUs shall be accrued for the benefit of Participant with respect to
record dates occurring before, or with respect to record dates occurring on or
after the date, if any, on which Participant has forfeited the RSUs. Participant
shall not be a shareholder of record with respect to the RSUs and shall have no
voting rights with respect to the RSUs.
3.    Termination of Employment with the Company.
(a)    Retirement. If the Participant’s employment with the Company, Affiliates
and Subsidiaries terminates as a result of “Retirement” at any time on or after
six months from the Date of Grant has elapsed, then Section 2(a) shall continue
to apply to the Participant and the Participant shall receive settlement of RSUs
following each Vesting Date, unless Section 3(c) applies. For purposes of the
Agreement, “Retirement” means the Participant terminates employment with the
Company, all Affiliates and Subsidiaries under circumstances that do not entitle
the Participant to severance either pursuant to an agreement or policy, plan or
program and such termination occurs on or after: (i) attaining age 58, (ii)
completing at least two years of service, and (iii) having a combined age and
years of service (counting partial years) equal to at least 62.5 points.
(b)    Involuntary Termination and Certain Voluntary Terminations. The
Participant shall become vested in a prorated number of RSUs in the following
circumstances: (1) the Participant’s employment with the Company or any
Affiliate or Subsidiary terminates as a result of Retirement within six months
after the Date of Grant, (2) the Participant voluntarily terminates his
employment with the Company, Affiliates and Subsidiaries on or after age 55 and
the termination does not constitute a Retirement, or (3) the Participant is
involuntarily terminated by the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary without
Cause (whether or not the Participant is eligible for Retirement, regardless of
his age at termination and other than due to Disability or death). For purposes
of the preceding, the prorated portion of the RSUs that is vested as of the
Participant’s retirement date or date of termination, as applicable, including
the portion of the RSUs then already vested, shall be the total number of
granted and credited RSUs multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of full months elapsed from the Date of Grant through the
Participant’s retirement date or last day worked (in the case of termination)
and the denominator of which shall be 48.
(c)    Death. If the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate
or Subsidiary terminates due to the Participant’s death, then, in addition to
the RSUs vested as of the date of death under Section 2(a), the RSUs scheduled
to vest on the next scheduled Vesting Date shall also vest on the date of death.
(d)    Disability. If the Participant becomes eligible for long-term disability
benefits under a plan sponsored by the Company, an Affiliate or a Subsidiary,
then, in addition to the RSUs then vested, the RSUs scheduled to vest on the
next scheduled Vesting Date shall also vest on the first date of the long-term
disability period. For the avoidance of doubt, RSUs shall continue to vest
during any short-term disability period.

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

(e)    Other Termination. If the Participant’s employment with the Company, all
Affiliates and Subsidiaries terminates for Cause or resignation (before
attainment of age 55 and before Retirement eligibility) then all outstanding
RSUs, whether vested but unsettled or unvested, shall immediately terminate.
Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Section 3, in no
event shall any RSUs be settled before the applicable Vesting Date except if
otherwise determined by the Company.
4.    Compliance with Legal Requirements. The granting and settlement of the
RSUs, and any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement, shall be
subject to all applicable federal, provincial, state, local and foreign laws,
rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental
agency as may be required.
(a)    Transferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in writing,
the RSUs shall not be transferable by Participant other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution.
(b)    No Rights as Stockholder. The Participant shall not be deemed for any
purpose to be the owner of any shares of Stock subject to RSUs.
(c)    Tax Withholding. All distributions under the Plan are subject to
withholding of all applicable federal, state, provincial, local and foreign
income taxes and social contributions (the “Withholding Obligation”). The
Company may satisfy such Withholding Obligation by any means whatsoever,
including withholding cash from any other payment or amounts due to the
Participant. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company will
satisfy its Withholding Obligation by issuing, upon the settlement of the RSUs,
a net number of Stocks to the Participant equal to the number of Stocks that the
Participant would otherwise be entitled to receive on the Settlement Date minus
such number of Stocks with a value determined on that date equal to any amount
required to satisfy the Withholding Obligation.
5.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    Waiver. Any right of the Company contained in this Agreement may be
waived in writing by the Committee. No waiver of any right hereunder by any
party shall operate as a waiver of any other right, or as a waiver of the same
right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver
of any right to damages. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement
shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the
continuation of the same breach.
(b)    Notices. Any written notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan
shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand
delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class
mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three business days after
mailing but in no event later than the date of actual receipt. Notices shall be
directed, if to the Participant, at the Participant’s address indicated by the
Company’s records, or if to the Company, to the attention of the Director,
Corporate Compensation at the Company’s principal executive office.

Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable
and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.
(d)    No Rights to Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as giving Participant any right to be retained, in any position, as an
employee, consultant or director of the Company or its Affiliates or shall
interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or its
Affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or
discharge Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever.
(e)    Beneficiary. The Participant other than a Participant residing in the
Province of Québec, may file with the Committee a written designation of a
beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from
time to time, amend or revoke such designation. Any notice should be made to the
attention of the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal
executive office. If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the
Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be Participant’s beneficiary.

may only designate a beneficiary by will. Upon the death of the Participant
residing in the Province of Québec, the Company shall settle the RSUs pursuant
to Section 2(b) of this Agreement to the liquidator, administrator or executor
of the estate of the Participant.

accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles
