NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth,
the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1.RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company
hereby grants to the Participant _________ restricted stock units (the “RSUs”),

RSUs shall vest on _______________ (each such date, as well as any other date on
which the RSUs vest in accordance with this Agreement, a “Vesting Date”).
(b)Forfeiture. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the RSUs, to the
extent not then vested, shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant
without consideration as of the date (the “Termination Date”) that the
Participant's Continuous Service as a Director ceases In the event of a
cessation of Continuous Service as a Director due to death, Disability,
mandatory retirement pursuant to Board policy or failure of the Director to be
re-nominated or re-elected to the Board (provided such Director has indicated
his willingness to stand for re-nomination or re-election, as the case may be),
the outstanding and unvested RSUs shall vest on the Termination Date and the
Shares to be issued under the vested RSUs shall be delivered to the Participant
in accordance with Section 3 hereof, provided, however, that in the event of a
Change in Control on or after the Termination Date and prior to the date the

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

date of the Change in Control. In the event of cessation of Continuous Service
as a Director resulting from the Participant's voluntary resignation or
termination from the Board for any reason except as set forth above, all
unvested RSUs subject to this award together with all vested RSUs under which
Shares have not yet been delivered shall be immediately forfeited without
consideration as of the Termination Date.

On the Vesting Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, but no later than
sixty (60) days thereafter, the Company shall cause the number of Shares equal
to the number of RSUs which vested on the Vesting Date to be issued in the name
of the Participant; provided, however, that no Shares will be issued in
settlement of this award unless the issuance complies with all applicable
requirements of law described in Section 5 hereof. Prior to settlement, and in
no event later than sixty (60) days following the Vesting Date, the Participant
shall make arrangements with the Committee in accordance with Section 8 hereof
for the satisfaction of the amount necessary to satisfy federal, state, and
local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld
in connection with such settlement and, if applicable, satisfied any other
conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan. The Company shall not
be liable to the Participant for damages relating to any delays in issuing the
certificates to the Participant, any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes
or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates themselves.
The Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company
with respect to the RSUs unless and until Shares are issued to the Participant
in accordance with this Section 3.
SECTION 4.NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED SERVICE.
The granting of the RSUs evidenced hereby and this Agreement shall impose no
obligation on the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to continue the
services of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the

Participant.
SECTION 5.SECURITIES LAWS/LEGEND ON CERTIFICATES.

laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other
securities market on which the Company's securities may then be traded. If the
Company deems it necessary to ensure that the issuance of securities under the
Plan is not required to be registered under any applicable securities laws, the
Participant shall deliver to the Company an agreement or certificate containing
such representations, warranties and covenants, as reasonably requested by the
Company, which satisfies such requirements. Any certificates representing the
Shares shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as
the Committee may deem reasonably advisable, and the Committee may cause a
legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.

consideration. Any permitted transfer of the RSUs to heirs or legatees of the
