normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance,
resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards,
pensions or retirement benefits or similar payments unless specifically and
otherwise provided in such plans. Rather, the awarding of the Restricted Stock
under the Plan represents a mere investment.

and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan. By acceptance of the
Restricted Stock, Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is
discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the
