RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT



1. Restricted Stock/Nontransferability. This grant is an award of stock in the number of
shares set forth on the cover sheet and subject to the vesting conditions described below and the
Plan (“Restricted Stock”). To the extent not yet vested, your Restricted Stock may not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may
the Restricted Stock be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.



2. Subject to the Plan. This grant is awarded in accordance with, and is subject to and
conditional upon all of the terms and conditions of the Plan which are incorporated by reference in
this Restricted Stock Agreement as if fully set forth herein.



3. Issuance and Vesting. The Company will issue your Restricted Stock in your name as of
the Grant Date. Your right to the Restricted Stock under this Restricted Stock Agreement vests as
follows: ___of the total number of shares covered by this Agreement on each of
the ___anniversaries of the Grant Date.



4. Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding Paragraph 3, your right to the Restricted Stock
under this Restricted Stock Agreement shall immediately vest as to 100% of the total number of
shares covered by this grant upon the occurrence of either:





	 	•  	your termination of employment with or service to the Company due to your
death or permanent and total disability, or your involuntary termination of
your employment or service other than by reason of your willful refusal to
perform your duties; or ·
	 
	 	•  	a “Change in Control” as provided for in Section 9 of the Plan.




5. Termination. Your right to the Restricted Stock under this Restricted Stock Agreement
to the extent the restrictions have not lapsed shall terminate immediately if you cease your
service or employment with the Company by voluntarily terminating your service or employment or if
the Company terminates your service or employment by reason of your willful refusal to perform your
duties.



6. Additional Forfeiture. The Committee may cancel, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or
restrict your right to the Restricted Stock under this Restricted Stock Agreement at any time if
you (i) are not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Restricted Stock Agreement or
the Plan or (ii) engage in any activity inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the
Company, including, but not limited to: (A) conduct related to the your service or employment for
which either criminal or civil penalties against you may be sought, (B) violation of any policies

outstanding.



8. Income Taxes; Section 83(b) Election. Under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), the difference between the purchase price, if any, paid for the
shares of Restricted Stock and their fair market value on the date any forfeiture restrictions
applicable to such shares lapse will be reportable as ordinary income at that time. You may elect
to be taxed at the time the shares are acquired rather than when such shares cease to be subject to
such forfeiture restrictions by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the
Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the Grant Date. You will have to make a tax
payment to the extent the purchase price is less than the fair market value of the shares on the
Grant Date. No tax payment will have to be made to the extent the purchase price is at least equal
to the fair market value of the shares on the Grant Date. The form for making this election is
attached as Exhibit A hereto. Failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period will
result in the recognition of ordinary income by you (in the event the fair market value of the
shares increases after the date of purchase) as the forfeiture restrictions lapse.



9. Shareholder Rights. You have the right to vote the Restricted Stock and to receive any
dividends declared or paid on such stock. Any distributions you receive as a result of any stock
split, stock dividend, combination of shares or other similar transaction shall be deemed to be a
part of the Restricted Stock and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable
thereto.



10. Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in
the Company stock, the number of shares covered by this grant shall be adjusted (and rounded down
to the nearest whole number).



11. Compliance with Law. The issuance of this Restricted Stock shall be subject to
compliance with the rules and policies of the New York Stock Exchange. The shares of Restricted
Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Act”), may be
“restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, and may not be sold or
otherwise disposed of except in compliance with applicable provisions of the Act.



12. Legends. All certificates representing the Restricted Stock issued in connection with
this grant shall, where applicable, have endorsed thereon the following legends:



“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR HIS OR HER PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST. A
COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY AND WILL BE FURNISHED UPON
WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE.”



“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION THEREOF UNDER
SUCH ACT AND SUCH




3









 







APPLICABLE STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION’S SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION IS
NOT REQUIRED.”



13. Severability. Should a court of competent jurisdiction deem any of the provisions in
this Restricted Stock Agreement to be unenforceable in any respect, it is the intention of the
parties to this Restricted Stock Agreement that this Restricted Stock Agreement be enforced to the
greatest extent deemed to be enforceable.



14. Choice of Law. This Restricted Stock Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect
to any conflicts of law rule or principle that might require the application of the laws of another
jurisdiction.



15. Securities Laws. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares pursuant to
this Restricted Stock Agreement if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the shares to be so
issued are required to be registered or otherwise qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or under any other applicable statute, regulation or ordinance affecting the sale of
securities, unless and until such shares have been so registered or otherwise qualified.
