decisions that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Plan,

4.    Legend. The records of the Company and any other documentation evidencing
the shares of Restricted Stock shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined
by the Company in its sole discretion, to the effect that such shares of
Restricted Stock are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, in the Plan
and in this Agreement.
5.    Withholding and Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first
becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or
subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to
the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder, the Grantee will pay to the
Company or, if appropriate, any of its Subsidiaries, or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States
federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under this
Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company
and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to
deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee. The Grantee
may elect to have the required minimum tax withholding obligation satisfied, in
whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of
Restricted Stock to be issued, or (ii) transferring to the Company, a number of
Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding
amount due.

a writing signed by the parties hereto, provided that the Grantee acknowledges
that the Plan may be amended or discontinued in accordance with Section 12
thereof and that this Agreement may be amended or canceled by the Committee, on
behalf of the Company, for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any
other lawful purpose, so long as no such action shall adversely affect the
Grantee’s rights under this Agreement without the Grantee’s written consent. No
promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations,
whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied,
with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by the parties which
are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. The failure of the Grantee or the
Company to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement,
or to assert any right the Grantee or the Company, respectively, may have under
this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or
any other provision or right of this Agreement.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the
Plan or this Agreement to continue to have the Grantee provide services to it or

shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to

Grantee at any time.

Agreement and the award hereunder shall remain in full force and effect).

ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLES
