(b) All unvested shares of Restricted Stock will immediately become vested in
the event that (a) (i) the Director is not nominated for reelection to the Board

vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock, the Company will deliver to the
Director a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Restricted
Stock which had so vested, endorsed with the legend provided for in Section
8(b). Alternatively, the Company may elect to deliver vested shares of
Restricted Stock electronically, and if it does so, the Director agrees to
establish an account with a brokerage firm selected by the Company for the
purpose of receiving such shares. Subject to applicable law, the Director may

satisfy all tax withholding amounts and other required deductions with respect
to the Restricted Stock. The Director will be permitted to satisfy these
obligations by (i) making a cash payment to the Company or (ii) directing the
Company to sell vested shares of Restricted Stock in an amount sufficient to
generate net proceeds equal to or exceeding the amount of such obligations. If
the Director does not satisfy such obligations as and when the same become due,
the Company will withhold a number of shares of Restricted Stock having a value,
determined in the sole discretion of the Company, equal to the amount of the
unsatisfied obligations and the Director will have no further interest in the
withheld shares or any proceeds thereof and will have no right to be compensated
therefor.

6. Regulatory Compliance. The issuance and delivery of any stock certificates
representing vested shares of Restricted Stock may be postponed by the Company
for such period as may be required to comply with any applicable requirements
under the federal securities laws or under any other law or regulation
applicable to the issuance or delivery of such shares. The Company shall not be
obligated to deliver any vested shares of Restricted Stock to the Director if
the Company believes that such delivery would constitute a violation of any
applicable law or regulation.

7. Representations and Warranties. The Director hereby represents and warrants
that the Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Agreement is being acquired
for the Director's own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to
distribution thereof. The Director acknowledges and agrees that any sale or
distribution of shares of Restricted Stock that have become vested may be made
only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which
registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the
shares being sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act that is confirmed in a favorable written
opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the
Company, prior to any such sale or distribution. The Director hereby consents to
such action as the Board or the Company deems necessary or appropriate from time
to time to prevent a violation of, or to perfect an exemption from, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act or to implement the provisions
of this Agreement, including but not limited to placing restrictive legends on
certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock (whether or not vested) and
delivering stop transfer instructions to the Company's stock transfer agent.

AMONG OTHER THINGS, FOR CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER AND ENCUMBRANCE OF
SUCH SHARES. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE
COMPANY"

registered under the Securities Act, each certificate representing shares of
Restricted Stock shall be endorsed with a legend in substantially the following
form:

THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE.
SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED

AS MAYBE SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH
TRANSFER SHALL NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR ANY RULE OR REGULATION PROMULGATED
THEREUNDER";

such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this
Agreement.

waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and the Director.
