| 2.   | Restricted      Shares.  The Employee hereby accepts the Restricted      Shares when issued and agrees with respect thereto as    follows: |
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (a)                | Performance      Period.  The “Performance Period” is the period beginning      on January 1, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, or      December 31, 2013, as applicable to satisfy the Performance      Contingency. |
|------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (b)                | Performance      Contingency.  The “Performance Contingency” is satisfied      if for the second year, for the third year or for the fourth year of the      Performance Period, the Company’s annual adjusted Net Income from      Continuing Operations (“Net Income from Continuing Operations”) is at      least 119% of the adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations for the      year ending immediately prior to the beginning of the Performance Period      (based on compounded annual Net Income growth from Continuing Operations      of 6% per year over three years).  More specifically, the      Performance Contingency is satisfied if on December 31, 2011, or on      December 31, 2012, or on December 31, 2013, the Company’s adjusted Net      Income from Continuing operations is at least 119% of the 2009 year-end      adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations, as adjusted to exclude      such events as approved by theCommittee. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (c)               | Forfeiture      Restrictions.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the      Employee may not sell, assign, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise      transfer, encumber or dispose of the Restricted Shares other than by      transferring them to the Company or by will or by the laws of descent and      distribution; provided, however, that the Employee may designate a      beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the Employee’s rights and to      receive the Restricted Shares upon the Employee’s death.  If the      Performance Contingency is not satisfied by the end of the fourth year of      the Performance Period, then the Employee shall forfeit and surrender the      Restricted Shares for no consideration.  The foregoing      prohibition against transfer and the obligation to forfeit and surrender      the Restricted Shares if the Performance Contingency is not satisfied are      herein referred to as the “Forfeiture  Restrictions.” |
|-----------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (d)               | Acceleration      of Forfeiture Restrictions—Certain Terminations of Employment During      Performance Period.  If the Participant’s employment with      the Company terminates during the Performance Period for any reason other      than the Participant’s Retirement, Disability, Involuntary Termination      without Cause, or death, the Restricted Shares granted under this      Agreement will be forfeited on the date of such termination of employment;      provided, however, that in such circumstances, the Committee, in its      discretion, may waive such automatic forfeiture and determine that the      Participant will be entitled to receive a pro rata or other portion of the      Restricted Shares if the Performance Contingency is    satisfied. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (e)               | Lapse      of Forfeiture Restrictions—Certain Special Events During Performance      Period.  If the Performance Contingency is satisfied and      if the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates during the      Performance Period because of the Participant’s Retirement, Disability,      Involuntary Termination without Cause, or death, the Participant shall be      entitled to a prorated number of the Restricted Shares based on the ratio      of the number of months the Participant was employed during the      Performance Period to the total number of months in the Performance      Period.  The remaining Restricted Shares shall be      forfeited. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (f)          | Lapse      of Forfeiture Restrictions—Change in Control.  If a      Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period and at least 180      days after the date the Restricted Shares were granted, and the      Participant’s termination does not occur before the Change in Control      date, the Participant shall be entitled to a prorated number of the      Restricted Shares based on the ratio of the number of months the      Participant was employed during the Performance Period up to the Change in      Control to 36 (unless the Performance Period was already into its fourth      year, in which case the denominator would be 48).  For the      Participants entitled to prorata vesting, the remaining Restricted Shares      shall be forfeited. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (a)          | The Employee shall      be entitled to exercise full voting rights with respect to such Restricted      Shares. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (b)          | The Employee shall      be entitled to receive any cash dividends (whether regular or otherwise),      stock dividends and other distributions (whether paid in cash or      securities) paid or made with respect to the Restricted Shares, provided,      however, that any such dividends or distributions shall be held in the      custody of the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions on      transferability and forfeitability that apply to the corresponding      Restricted Shares.  All dividends or distributions credited to      the Employee shall be paid to the Employee within forty-five (45) days      following the full vesting of the Restricted Shares with respect to which      such dividends or distributions weremade. |

| 6.   | Beneficiary      Designation.  The Employee may from time to time revoke      or change his or her beneficiary without the consent of any prior      beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee.  The      last such designation that the Committee receives shall be controlling;      provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof,      shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the      Employee’s death, and in no event shall any designation be effective as of      a date prior to such receipt.  If no such beneficiary      designation is in effect at the time of the Employee’s death, or if no      designated beneficiary survives the Employee or if such designation      conflicts with law, then the Employee’s estate shall be entitled to      receive the Restricted Shares following the death of the      Employee.  If the Committee is in doubt as to the right of any      person to receive the Restricted Shares, then the Company may retain the      Restricted Shares, without liability for any interest thereon, until the      Committee determines the person entitled thereto, or the Company may      deliver the Restricted Shares to any court of appropriate jurisdiction,      and such delivery shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the      Company therefor. |
|----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 8.   | Withholding      of Tax.  To the extent that the receipt of the Restricted      Shares or dividends or the lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions results in      income to the Employee for any federal or state income tax purposes, no      later than the date as of which such tax withholding is first required,      the Employee shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory      to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal or state income tax      required to be withheld with respect to such amount.  If the      Employee fails to do so, then the Company is authorized to withhold from      any cash remuneration then or thereafter payable to the Employee any tax      required to be withheld by reason of such resulting compensation      income.  If the Employee does not make an election under Section      83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to      the Restricted Shares, then the Employee shall be allowed to satisfy the      tax withholding obligations arising with respect to the Restricted Shares      with shares of Stock (including Restricted Shares upon which the      restrictions have lapsed but excluding Restricted Securities (as defined      in the Plan)) having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory      total tax required to be withheld. |
