      TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS AWARD

    

     

    1.           Grant of
SAR.  The Stock Appreciation Rights ("SAR") granted to the
Grantee and described in the Notice of Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights Award
(the "Notice") is subject to the provisions of the Plan, which is incorporated
by reference in its entirety into these Terms and Conditions of Stock
Appreciation Rights Award (these "Terms and Conditions").

     

    The Board
of Directors of the Company has authorized and approved the 2009 Omnibus
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and the Plan has been approved by the Company’s
stockholders.  The Committee has approved an award to the Grantee of a
SAR to acquire the value of the appreciation in the Company’s Common Stock
following the Date of Grant, conditional on the Grantee’s acceptance of the
provisions set forth in the Plan, the Notice and these Terms and Conditions
within 60 days after the Notice and these Terms and Conditions are presented to
the Grantee for review.  For purposes of the Notice and these Terms
and Conditions, any reference to the Company shall include a reference to any
Affiliate.

     

    The
Company intends that this SAR not be considered to provide for the deferral of
compensation under Section 409A of the Code and that this Agreement shall be so
administered and construed.  Further, the Company may modify the Plan
and this Award to the extent necessary to fulfill this intent.

     

    2.           Exercise of
SAR.

     

    (a)           Right to
Exercise.  This SAR shall be exercisable, in whole or in part,
during its term in accordance with the vesting schedule set out in the Notice
and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.  No
Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this SAR Award unless the
issuance and exercise comply with applicable laws.  Assuming such
compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred
to the Grantee on the date on which the SAR is exercised with respect to such
Shares.  To the extent permitted under Section 6.03 of the Plan, the
Committee may, in its discretion, (i) accelerate vesting of the SAR, or (ii)
extend the applicable exercise period.

     

    (b)           Method of
Exercise.  The Grantee may exercise the SAR by delivering an
exercise notice in a form approved by the Company (the “Exercise Notice”) which
shall state the election to exercise the SAR, the number of Shares with respect
to which the SAR is being exercised, and such other representations and
agreements as may be required by the Company.  Subject to Section 7 of
these Terms and Conditions, this SAR Award shall be deemed to be exercised upon
receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice.

     

    (c)           Acceleration of Vesting on
Change in Control.  Subject to the exceptions contained in
Section 6.05 of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, all SAR Awards
outstanding on the date of the Change in Control that have not previously vested
or terminated under the terms of this Agreement shall be immediately and fully
vested and exercisable.

     

    3.           Method of
Payment.  Upon exercise of a SAR, in whole or in part, by
delivery of an Exercise Notice to the Company, the Grantee shall be entitled to
receive a number of Shares (the “Net SAR Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing x by y, where:

     

    x = the
number of Shares being exercised multiplied by the excess, if any, of (A) the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over (B) the Exercise
Price, and


    
      
         


      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    y = the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise.

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion pay the value of the Net SAR
Shares (i) all in cash, (ii) all in Shares or (iii) in any combination of cash
or Shares (including payment in cash of any fractional Net SAR
Share).

     

    4.           Restrictions on
Exercise.  This SAR may not be exercised if the issuance of the
Shares upon exercise or the method of payment of consideration for those shares
would constitute a violation of any applicable law or regulation.

     

    5.           Non-Transferability of
SAR.  This SAR may not be transferred in any manner (other than
on death to the legal personal representatives of the Grantee) and may be
exercised during the lifetime of the Grantee only by the Grantee.  The
terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the legal personal
representatives of the Grantee.

     

    6.           Term of
SAR.  This SAR may be exercised only within the term set out in
the Notice, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the
Plan and the terms of this Agreement.

     

    7.           Withholding.

     

    (a)           The
Committee shall determine the amount of any withholding or other tax (together
"Tax") required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any
income recognized by the Grantee with respect to the SAR Award.

     

    (b)           The
Grantee shall be required to meet any applicable tax withholding obligation in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.05 of the Plan.

     

    (c)           Subject
to any rules prescribed by the Committee, the Grantee agrees that the Company
may withhold or collect any Tax payable in respect of the SAR or Shares acquired
pursuant to the SAR (i) by withholding from this Award at the appropriate time
that number of whole Shares whose Fair Market Value is equal to the amount of
any Tax required to be withheld with respect to such Award, (ii) by requesting
direct and immediate payment to the Company in cash of the amount of any Tax
required to be withheld with respect to such Award or (iii) by deduction of such
Tax from any salary, fees or any other payment payable to the Grantee by the
Company at any time on or after the date the Tax charge arises.

     

    8.           Defined
Terms.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in the Notice
and these Terms and Conditions shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan,
unless such term is defined in any Employment Agreement between the Grantee and
the Company or an Affiliate.  Any terms used in the Notice and these
Terms and Conditions, but defined in the Grantee’s Employment Agreement are
incorporated herein by reference and shall be effective for purposes of the
Notice and these Terms and Conditions without regard to the continued
effectiveness of the Employment Agreement

     

    9.           Grantee
Representations.  The Grantee hereby represents to the Company
that the Grantee has read and fully understands the provisions of the Notice,
these Terms and Conditions and the Plan and the Grantee’s decision to
participate in the Plan is completely voluntary.  Further, the Grantee
acknowledges that the Grantee is relying solely on his or her own advisors with
respect to the tax consequences of this SAR Award.

Agreement, no exercise of the SAR or issuance of Shares pursuant to this
Agreement shall be effective if (i) the shares reserved under the Plan are not
subject to an effective registration statement at the time of such exercise or
issuance, or otherwise eligible for an exemption from registration, or (ii) the
Company determines in good faith that such exercise or issuance would violate
any Company policy or applicable securities or other law or
regulation.
