     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are

</Table>

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, and except as otherwise provided herein,
the above described vesting shall cease and no Unvested Restricted Shares (as
defined below) shall vest after the date on which your employment with the
Company terminates for any reason (the "TERMINATION DATE"). Restricted Shares
which have become vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are referred to
herein as "VESTED RESTRICTED SHARES," and all other Restricted Shares are
referred to herein as "UNVESTED RESTRICTED SHARES."

          (b)  ACCELERATION OF VESTING UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL. Upon the
consummation of a Change in Control, if you are still a director of the Company
immediately prior to such consummation, all Unvested Restricted Shares shall
become Vested Restricted Shares.

          (c)  ACCELERATION UPON DEATH OR DISABILITY. All Unvested Restricted
Shares shall become Vested Restricted Shares upon the Termination Date if your
membership on the Board terminates because of your death or permanent physical
disability (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion).

          (d)  CUSTODY. The Company (or its representatives) shall have the
right to hold the Unvested Restricted Shares in custody until those shares have
vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule and until such time as you have
paid the Company the federal and state income and employment withholding taxes
to which you become subject as a result of the vesting of your Restricted Shares
or otherwise, by cash payment or other arrangement agreed upon between the
Company and you. If you decide to make an election under Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code, you must provide for payment of federal and state
employment and withholding taxes at this time.

          (e)  DEFERRAL OF RECEIPT OF SHARES. At any time prior to the date
which is at least six (6) months prior to any Vesting Date (and with respect to
the first Vesting Date of September 30, 2002, at any time prior to June 30,
2002), you may deliver written notice to the Company (in the form attached as
Exhibit III or such other form as approved by the Committee) setting forth your
election to defer the distribution of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock
that may vest on such Vesting Date (if any); in such event, no certificates
representing shares of

                                        2
<Page>

Common Stock will be delivered to you until the date of the event specified in
such written notice. Your decision to defer the distribution of stock
certificates is irrevocable. Notwithstanding a deferral of the distribution of
the Common Stock hereunder, all Common Stock that is vested Restricted Stock
will be distributed promptly after an official public announcement of a Change
in Control or after termination of your directorship for any reason. Until
shares of Common Stock that are vested Restricted Stock are distributed to you,
you will not have any voting rights or rights to cash dividends with respect to
such shares.

          (f)  CANCELLATION OF SHARES. If requested by the Company, you or the
holder of Unvested Restricted Shares forfeited pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) shall
deliver to the Company any certificates therefor; provided, however, that if
Participant forfeits shares as provided in Paragraph 2(a), then from and after
such time, you or the holder of such shares shall no longer have any rights as a
holder of such shares and the Company shall be deemed the owner and holder of
such shares, whether or not the certificates therefor have been delivered to
Company as required by this Agreement.

          (g)  WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. We will be entitled, if necessary or
desirable, to withhold from you from any amounts due and payable by us to you,
the amount of any withholding or other tax due with respect to the issuance,
vesting or distribution of the Restricted Shares, and we may defer the issuance
or distribution of these shares unless you agree to indemnify us of this
withholding obligation to our satisfaction. In order to satisfy all withholding
and other taxes due hereunder, you agree to the following:

               (i)     as a condition of receiving any Vested Restricted Shares,
          you authorize the Company to sell, on each Vesting Date (or shortly
          thereafter), the number of Vested Restricted Shares that the Company
          deems necessary to satisfy the applicable withholding or other taxes;

               (ii)    you agree that the proceeds received from the sale of
          Vested Restricted Shares pursuant to this Paragraph 2(g) will be used
          to satisfy the withholding or other taxes and, accordingly, you hereby
          authorize the Company's brokers or other agents to pay such proceeds
          to the Company for such purpose. You understand that to the extent
          that the proceeds obtained by such sale exceeds the amount necessary
          to satisfy the withholding or other taxes, such excess proceeds shall
          be distributed to you; and

               (iii)   you acknowledge and agree that, in the event that there
          is not a market in the Common Stock, the Company will have the right
          to make other arrangements to satisfy the withholding or other taxes
          due hereunder.

     In addition, you may satisfy your tax obligation by cash payment, in
accordance with the delivery procedures established by the Company from time to
time. You agree to take such other action reasonably requested by the Company to
assist the Company with its withholding and other tax obligations hereunder.

     3.   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF RESTRICTED SHARES.

          (a)  RETENTION OF RESTRICTED SHARES. You cannot sell, transfer,
assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of (whether with or without
consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law)
any interest in any Restricted Shares (a "TRANSFER" of Restricted Shares),
except (i) to your "family members" as defined in and in accordance with the
General Instructions to Form S-8 (in which case the restrictions set forth in
the Plan and in this Agreement will continue to apply to such Restricted Shares
after such Transfer and such permitted transferees of such Restricted Shares
will have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement with
respect to such Restricted Shares) or (ii) in exchange for other Restricted
Shares as described below in Paragraph 4 (each such transfer a "PERMITTED
TRANSFER").

                                        3
<Page>

          (b)  HOLDBACK AGREEMENT. You will not effect any public sale or
distribution of any equity securities of the Company, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the
seven days prior to and the 90-day period commencing on the effective date of
any underwritten registration of the Company's securities, unless the Company
otherwise agrees.

          (c)  TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT. Any Transfer or attempted
Transfer of any Restricted Shares in violation of any provision of this
Agreement will be void, and the Company will not record any such purported
Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Restricted
Shares as the owner thereof for any purpose.

     4.   ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of any merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination of
shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure, or other change in
the shares of Common Stock, the Committee may in its discretion make such
adjustments in the number and type of Restricted Shares specified herein as it
determines to be appropriate and equitable (and such adjustment will in no event
be considered an amendment or modification of the Plan or of this Agreement).
The issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or options or
securities exercisable or convertible into shares of stock of any class, for
cash or property, or for labor or services either upon direct sale, or upon the
exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon exercise or
conversion of other securities, will not affect, and no adjustment by reason
thereof will be made with respect to, the Restricted Shares.

          Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event of any merger,
consolidation or other reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving
or continuing corporation or in which a Change in Control is to occur, all of
the Company's obligations regarding Restricted Shares granted hereunder and that
are outstanding on the date of such event will, on such terms as may be approved
by the Committee prior to such event, be assumed by the surviving or continuing
corporation or canceled in exchange for property (including cash).

          (k)  DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS; INTERPRETATION. The descriptive headings of
this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a
substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any
pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine,
feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns, pronouns, and verbs
shall include the plural and vice versa. Reference to any agreement, document,
or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or
otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and
if applicable hereof. The use of the words "include" or "including" in this
Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. The use of the
words "or," "either" or "any" shall not be exclusive.

          (l)  DELIVERY BY FACSIMILE. This Agreement and any amendments hereto
to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, will be
treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement and will be
considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original
signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party, each
other party hereto will reexecute original forms thereof and deliver them to all
other parties. No party hereto will raise the use of a facsimile machine to
deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument
was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine as a
defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party
forever waives any such defense.

          (m)  EXCISE TAX. If either (a) it is determined by the Internal
Revenue Service or any other applicable governmental agency that any payment or
distribution of any type to or for your benefit pursuant to this Agreement by
the Company, any Person who acquires ownership or effective control of the
Company, or ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company
(within the meaning of section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder)
or any affiliate of such Person (the "TOTAL PAYMENTS") would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with
respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and
penalties, are collectively referred to as the "EXCISE TAX"), or (b) the Company
or any such Person withholds any portion of such payment or distribution or
otherwise seeks to reduce your benefits under this Agreement on account of the
Excise Tax, then the Company and such Person shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay you an additional payment (a "GROSS-UP PAYMENT") in an amount
such that, after payment by you of all federal, state and local taxes (including
any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any
Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, you retain an amount of the
Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments. The
Company and such Person shall be obligated to pay all of your costs (including
reasonable attorney fees and expenses) incurred in enforcing their obligations
under this Paragraph 6(m).

          (n)  TAXABLE INCOME AND SECTION 83(b) ELECTION. Under Section 83 of
the Code, the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares on the
date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the
purchase price paid for those shares will be reportable as ordinary income on
the lapse date (absent a deferral election pursuant to Paragraph 2(e) above).
For this purpose, the term "forfeiture restrictions" includes the restrictions
set forth in Paragraphs 2 and 3 above. Participant may elect under Code Section
83(b) to be taxed at the time the Restricted Shares are awarded pursuant to this
paragraph, rather than when and as such Restricted Shares vest and cease to be
