Determination Date”). If any of the information reasonably necessary for
determining the Vesting Contribution is not available through the end of the

4.3. Grant and Issuance of Reserve Performance Shares.

(a) The Company has reserved for issuance to Employee up to the
                              shares of Common Stock as Reserve Performance
Shares (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or
similar events) (the “Reserve Performance Shares”) to be granted and issued to
Employee pursuant to this Section 4.3. If pursuant to the Company’s
determination pursuant to Section 4.2 it is determined that any Goal achieved as
of the Performance Vesting Date is greater than the Target for such Goal, then
the Company shall grant and issue to Employee a number of the Reserve
Performance Shares equal to the product of (x) the sum of the Reserve
Contribution for each Goal multiplied by (y) the number of Reserve Performance
Shares.

(b) If Employee shall be entitled to receive any Reserve Performance Shares,
then the Company shall, promptly after the determination pursuant to
Section 4.2, issue to Employee a stock certificate representing the number of
Reserve Performance Shares determined in accordance with Section 4.3(a) (the
“Reserve Certificate”). The Reserve Certificate shall not have endorsed thereon
the legend set forth in Section 8 and the Company shall not retain or otherwise
escrow or withhold the Reserve Certificate from Employee pursuant to this
Agreement.

(c) Employee shall have no rights as a shareholder (including voting rights or
rights to dividends) with respect to any Reserve Performance Shares until such
time as they may become issuable pursuant to Section 4.3(a).

4.4. Forfeiture of Unvested Shares. Until such time as the Performance Shares
vest, the Performance Shares or so much of them as determined in accordance with
this Section 4.4, the Earned Dividend Shares associated with such Performance
Shares and the Reserve Performance Shares shall be subject to forfeiture on the
terms and conditions contained in this Section 4.4.

(a) In the event of a restatement of the Company’s previously issued financial
statements as a result of errors, omission, fraud or non-compliance with
financial reporting requirements (a “Restatement”) (a Restatement does not
include a restatement required due to a required or voluntary adoption of a
change in accounting principals, policies or procedures promulgated by any board
or organization with the authority to require adoption of such change), the
Committee shall review the facts and circumstances underlying the restatement
(including any potential wrongdoing and whether the restatement was the result
of negligence or intentional or gross misconduct) and may, in its discretion,
direct that the Company recover all or a portion of all unvested Performance
Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement up to the amount determined as follows:

(i) The Company shall compute the actual number of performance based vesting
shares (the “Restated Vested Shares”) that Employee would have been entitled to
have vested with respect to any awards granted pursuant to the Plan in any year
affected by the Restatement using for such computation the restated financial
information.

 

5

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

(ii) The number of Restated Vested Shares shall be compared to the actual number
of performance based vesting shares (including any shares earned based upon
dividends paid relating to those vesting shares and shares received for
exceeding target similar to the Reserve Performance Shares in this Agreement,
the latter such shares being hereinafter referred to as “Reserve Vesting
Shares”) that have already vested (the “Vested Shares”) for any period affected
by the Restatement. If the number of Vested Shares exceeds the number of
Restated Vested Shares (such difference being hereinafter referred to as the
“Share Overpayment”), then the number of Performance Shares shall be decreased
by the Share Overpayment, provided that, if Employee has entered into any
earlier dated agreement under the Plan that provides for performance based
vesting shares that can be forfeited due to a Restatement (excluding Reserve
Vesting Shares), the Share Overpayment shall come first from such unvested
performance based vesting shares issued under those prior agreements until the
total reduction in the number of such performance based vesting shares equals
the lesser of (i) the Share Overpayment or (ii) all such performance based
vesting shares and only if the Share Overpayment is greater than the number of
such prior award performance based vesting shares, thereafter from the
Performance Shares. If the Share Overpayment is greater than the number of
Employee’s unvested performance based vesting shares (including the Performance
Shares) plus any Reserve Vesting Shares that would have been received by
Employee but for a forfeiture in a prior agreement of the Reserve Vesting Shares
due to the Restatement, then the number of Reserve Vesting Shares the Employee
would receive on the Performance Vesting Date shall be reduced by such
difference. Except as provided in 4.4(b) below, in no event shall the number of
shares forfeited by Employee exceed the lesser of (i) all unvested performance
based vesting shares awarded to Employee under the Plan (including Reserve
Vesting Shares) or (ii) the Share Overpayment.

(b) In any instance in which, in the view of the Committee, Employee engaged in
an act of fraud or misconduct that contributed to the need for a Restatement
affecting the year of or any year prior to the Performance Vesting Date, the
Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, recover and the Employee shall
forfeit or repay, all of Employees grants under this Agreement whether vested or
not. The Compensation Committee may require the Employee to, and Employee shall,
return to the Company any vested shares if such shares are still owned by
Employee, any proceeds from the sale of any vested shares if Employee has sold
such shares, the fair market value of such shares on the date of transfer if
Employee transferred any vested shares, and all dividends paid on all shares
granted pursuant to this Agreement whether vested or not.

(c) If the number of Restated Vested Shares is greater than the number of
performance based vesting shares (including Reserve Vesting Shares) that actual
vested, then Employee shall be entitled to receive shares equal to such
difference, provided that, if Employee is entitled to receive such shares
pursuant to any other award under the Plan, then Employee shall only be entitled
to receive such additional shares once and not once for each such award.

 

6

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

(d) The forfeiture of shares pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not in any way
limit or affect the Company’s right to pursue disciplinary action or dismissal,
take legal action or pursue any other available remedies. This Section 4.4 shall
not replace and shall be in addition to any rights of the Company to recoup
shares from Employee under applicable laws and regulations, including but not
limited to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, provided that Employee shall forfeit
the number of shares equal to the greater of (but not the sum of) the amount
computed pursuant to this Section 4.4 and the amount to be recouped under
applicable laws and regulations.

5. Vesting of Shares Upon Change in Employment Status.

5.1. Termination Without Cause, Resignation With Good Reason, Retirement, or
Upon Death or Disability. Notwithstanding Sections 3 and 4, if prior to the
Performance Vesting Date Employee’s Employment Agreement and employment with the
Company is terminated by Employee due to Good Reason or retirement on or after
the Retirement Age, or by the Company for other than Good Cause, or due to death
or Disability, then effective as of the date of such termination (i) the number
of Shares that would vest pursuant to Section 4 and the number of Reserve
Performance Shares that would be issued will be computed in accordance with
Section 4 using as the Performance Vesting Date, the most recent quarter ending
on or before the Employee’s termination or retirement date and multiplying the
result by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of whole quarters
between January 1, 2009 and the date of such termination and the denominator of
which is sixteen (16), (ii) the number of Earned Dividend Shares that vest will
equal the number determined pursuant to Section 11 using the Vesting
Contribution as computed in (i) above, and (iii) the number of additional Time
Vesting Shares vesting pursuant to Section 3 shall be determined by multiplying
the total number of Time Vesting Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of whole quarters since the Grant Date and the denominator of which
is sixteen (16) and subtracting therefrom, the number of shares that have
already vested pursuant to Section 3.

5.2. Termination for Cause or Resignation Without Good Reason. Notwithstanding
Sections 3 and 4, if Employee’s Employment Agreement and employment with the
Company is terminated by the Company for Good Cause or Employee resigns without
Good Reason prior to the Performance Vesting Date, all of the then-unvested
Shares and any right to any Reserve Performance Shares shall be forfeited by
Employee, ownership of all such unvested Shares shall transfer back to the
Company and Employee shall have no further rights with respect to any of such
unvested Shares or any Reserve Performance Shares.

5.3. Termination Following a Change in Control. If within 12 months after the
effective date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement)
Employee’s Employment Agreement and employment with (i) the Company, (ii) an
affiliate of the Company (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) or
(iii) such entity that the Company has merged or consolidated with or an
affiliate (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of such entity (such
entity or affiliate in (i), (ii) or (iii), the “Continuing Employer”) is
terminated by Employee for Good Reason or by the Continuing Employer without
Good Cause, then, notwithstanding Sections 3, 4 and 11, 100% of the
then-unvested Shares that otherwise could have vested pursuant to Sections 3 and
4 and all Earned Dividend Shares issued as of such date shall automatically vest
on the date of such termination of employment, provided, however, that if

 

7

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

prior to such termination the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company
shall have been exchanged or converted into the right to receive other
securities, cash or property, whether pursuant to a merger, consolidation or
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Conversion
Event”), then each Share that could vest pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall
immediately after such Conversion Event represent the right to receive such
other securities, cash or property that Employee would have received or been
entitled to had such Shares been outstanding immediately prior to such
Conversion Event. Employee and Company agree that any termination of Employee’s
Employment Agreement with the Company attendant to any Change in Control in
which Employee is, in connection with such Change in Control, hired as an
employee of a Continuing Employer shall not be deemed a termination of
Employee’s Employment Agreement with a Continuing Employer for purposes of this
Section 5.3 unless Employee resigns following the Change of Control for Good
Reason.

6. Vesting of Shares and Issuance of Reserve Shares upon Committee Action.
Notwithstanding Sections 3, 4, 5 and 11, the Committee reserves its right,
exercisable at its sole discretion, including under Section 4.2 of the Plan to
accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of any unvested Shares or issue all
or any portion of the Reserve Performance Shares, including in connection with a
Change in Control.

7. Restrictions Period. The period of time between the Grant Date and the date
Shares become vested is referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.” Until a
Share becomes vested in accordance with Section 3, 4, 5 or 6, neither such Share
nor any beneficial interest therein shall be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way at any time (including,
without limitation, by operation of law) other than (i) to the Company or its
assignees or (ii), after written notice to the Company identifying the
transferee to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, to an intervivos or
testamentary trust for the benefit of the Employee and/or the Employee’s spouse
during the Employee’s life or to such other person or persons (individually or
as trustee or trustees of a trust), for estate planning or gifting purposes, as
the Committee may specifically approve. Any permitted transferee of Shares or
any interest therein shall be required as a condition of such transfer to agree
in writing, in form satisfactory to the Company, that it shall receive and hold
such Share or interest subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including
but not limited to the forfeiture provisions hereof. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Employee” shall include such a permitted transferee when
appropriate.

8. Legend. All certificates representing any Shares which are not vested shall
have endorsed thereon during the Restriction Period the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE
PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS CORPORATION.

9. Retention of Certificate. The certificate or certificates evidencing any of
the unvested Shares shall be deposited with the Secretary of the Company. The
Shares may also be held in a restricted book entry account in the name of
Employee. Such certificates or such book entry shares are to be held by the
Company until termination of the Restriction Period, when they

 

8

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

shall be released by the Company to Employee, provided that, if the number of
the Shares ultimately vested in Employee as of the Vesting Determination Date is
different than the Grant Amount, then the certificate originally issued shall be
cancelled and a new certificate representing the number of the Shares that have
vested in Employee shall be delivered to Employee and all of the unvested Shares
outstanding immediately after the Vesting Determination Date shall be forfeited
by Employee, ownership of all such unvested Shares shall transfer back to the
Company and Employee shall have no further rights with respect to any of such
unvested Shares.

10. Employee Shareholder Rights. During the Restriction Period, Employee shall
have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to unvested Shares except for
the right to transfer the Shares (as set forth in Section 7) and the right to
receive dividends (subject to Section 11) with respect to the Performance
Shares. Accordingly, Employee shall have the right (i) to vote all Shares other
than the Earned Dividend Shares and (ii) to receive dividends on all Time
Vesting Shares.

11. Dividends on Performance Shares. If the Company shall declare a cash
dividend on shares of Common Stock at any time during the Performance Period,
then the Performance Shares shall not receive such dividend, however, the number
of Shares subject to this Agreement shall be increased by and the Company shall
issue to Employee (subject to Section 9) immediately after such dividend a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the amount of cash dividends
Employee would have received with respect to Performance Shares if such dividend
would have been paid with respect to the Performance Shares divided by (y) the
closing price of a share of Common Stock on the payment date for such dividend.
Of the shares of Common Stock which shall be made subject to this Agreement
which are issuable in lieu of any cash dividend on the Performance Shares
pursuant to the foregoing sentence (the “Earned Dividend Shares”), (a) such
Earned Dividend Shares shall vest on the same date as the Performance Share in
an amount equal to the Vesting Contribution multiplied by the Earned Dividend
Shares, (b) no dividends shall be payable on such Earned Dividend Shares nor
shall the provisions of this Section 11 relating to increasing the number of
shares based upon dividend payments on the Performance Shares apply to such
Earned Dividend Shares and (c) Employee shall have no right to vote such shares.

12. Changes in Capitalization. In the event that as a result of (a) any stock
dividend, stock split or other change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
or (b) any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or other
acquisition of the Company, and by virtue of any such change Employee shall in
his/her capacity as owner of unvested Shares (the “Prior Stock”) be entitled to
new or additional or different shares or securities, such new or additional or,
different shares or securities shall thereupon be considered to be unvested
Stock and shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were
applicable to the Prior Stock pursuant to this Agreement.

13. Taxes. Employee shall be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding
taxes, arising out of the grant, issuance or vesting of Shares or any grant or
issuance of Reserve Performance Shares or Earned Dividend Shares hereunder.
Employee may elect to satisfy such withholding tax obligation by having the
Company retain Shares, Reserve Performance Shares, or Earned Dividend Shares if
applicable, having a fair market value equal to the Company’s

 

9

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

minimum withholding obligation. To the minimum extent reasonably determined by
the Company to be necessary, the Company shall defer delivery of vested Shares
to avoid any adverse tax consequences to the Employee under Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As of the date this Agreement has
been executed, it is not expected the preceding sentence would apply except
potentially to Earned Dividend Shares to vest pursuant to part (a) of the last
sentence of Section 11.

14. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to deliver any
fractional Shares that may vest or become issuable pursuant to this Agreement or
record or issue any fractional Share that may be issuable pursuant to Section 11
or 12. In lieu of any delivery, recordation or issuance of any such fractional
Share, the Company shall, at such time as such fractional Share would otherwise
be deliverable, subject to recording or issuable, pay to Employee an amount in
cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to product of (x) the Stock Price
at such time multiplied by (y) the fraction of a Share to which Employee would
otherwise be entitled.

15. Miscellaneous.

15.1. Transfers in Violation of Restrictions. The Company shall not be required
(i) to transfer on its books any Shares which shall have been sold or
transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement,
or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares or to accord the right to vote as such
owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such shares shall have been
so transferred.

15.2. Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute such further instruments
and to take such action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent
of this Agreement.

15.3. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon delivery to Employee at such
Employee’s address then on file with the Company.

15.4. No Employment Guarantee. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement nor any
provisions under either shall be construed so as to grant Employee any right to
remain in the employ of the Company and neither alters Employee’s at-will
status.

15.5. Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed by the arbitration
provisions of the Employment Agreement, including the provision relating to
recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses.

15.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Plan, and the Employment
Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date
first written above.
