	D.
	No Shareholder Rights




The Performance Stock Units shall not represent an equity security of the Company and shall not carry any voting or dividend rights.

You are an unsecured general creditor of the Company with respect to any payment relating to vested Performance Stock Units.


		
	E.
	Dividend Equivalent Rights




You shall accumulate dividend equivalent rights on each Performance Stock Unit in an amount equal to the dividends paid, if any, with respect to a share of Company Stock on each date that a dividend is paid on the Company Stock from the Grant Date to the Payment Date.  The dividend equivalent rights shall be converted into additional Performance Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date the dividend is paid and shall accumulate and be paid in additional shares of Company Stock if and when the payment for the corresponding Performance Stock Unit is made.  Such additional Performance Stock Units shall be subject to the same Performance Calculation and forfeiture restrictions as apply to the Performance Stock Unit to which they relate and shall be converted into shares of Company Stock using the same Performance Calculation, as applicable.


		
	F.
	Tax Withholding




The Company or its Subsidiary may withhold from your Performance Stock Units or payments under Section C the amount of taxes required by any federal, state, or local government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to the vesting and payment of your Performance Stock Units (“Tax Withholdings”), including without limitation, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) tax imposed and the income tax withholding related to such FICA amounts.  At its discretion, the Company or its Subsidiary may require you to pay any Tax Withholdings and withhold any payments, in whole or in part, until the Company or its Subsidiary is so paid.  The Company or its Subsidiary shall also have the unrestricted right to withhold from any other cash amounts due (or to become due) from the Company or its Subsidiary to you, including from your wages or commissions, an amount equal to any Tax Withholdings. The Company or its Subsidiary shall report the payment of any Tax Withholdings and other related information to the appropriate governmental agencies as required under applicable laws.


		
	G.
	Change of Capital Structure




If the number of outstanding shares of the Company Stock is increased or decreased as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, subdivision or consolidation of shares, or other similar change in capitalization, the number of Performance Stock Units will automatically be adjusted, as provided in the Plan and as the Committee shall determine to be equitably required so as to preserve the value of the Performance Stock Units that existed immediately before the change; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to issue any fractional shares as a result of such adjustment.













		
	H.
	Miscellaneous




The grant of these Performance Stock Units does not obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to continue your employment.  If there is any litigation involving the Performance Stock Units, each party will bear its own expenses, including all legal fees, except that in the event of an action brought by you under this Notice of Grant following a Change of Control, then insofar as such action is not deemed to be frivolous by the arbitrator or court, the Company shall bear all expenses related to the arbitration or litigation, including all legal fees incurred by you.  The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and administer this Notice of Grant.


		
	I.
	409A Compliance




The Performance Stock Units are intended to comply with Code section 409A and official guidance issued thereunder.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Notice of Grant shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with this intention.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Notice of Grant to the contrary, if at the time of your termination of employment with the Company you are “specified employee” as defined in Code section 409A, and the deferral of the commencement of any payment to you hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Code section 409A, then the commencement of the payment of any such amounts shall be deferred until the earlier of the first business day to occur following the date that is six (6) months following your “separation from service” (within the meaning of such term under Code section 409A) with the Company or your death.

	Payment On or After a Change of Control.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if payment is triggered for any reason on or after the date of a Change of Control, then the number of shares of Company Stock that will be paid shall equal the number of vested Performance Stock Units.


		
	5.
	Committee Certification.  Prior to any payments (other than those under Sections 3 and 4) being made, the Committee will determine whether, and to what extent, the Performance Calculation for each year of the Performance Term has been achieved.  Such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on you, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law.  The Committee may adjust the Performance Calculation, as it deems appropriate.
