employed by a subsidiary of the Company, the term “Company” shall be deemed to
refer collectively to the Company and the subsidiary or subsidiaries which
employ the Executive. This Agreement is entered into as of the          day of
                    ,       (the “Date of Grant”).

COMPENSATION PLAN (the “Plan”) to attract, retain and motivate Executives,
directors and consultants; and

Executive is consistent with the stated purposes for which the Plan was

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the Company and the Executive,
in consideration of services rendered by the Executive, as follows:




     1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Executive as of the Date
of Grant an award of          Shares (as defined in the Plan), subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without

     2. Restricted Shares. The Company shall issue in the Executive’s
name the Restricted Shares and such Restricted Shares shall be held for
the Executive in book entry form by the Company’s transfer agent with a
notation that the shares are subject to restrictions. The Executive
hereby agrees that the Restricted Shares shall be held subject to
restrictions as provided in the Agreement until such time as the
Restricted Shares become Vested Shares (as defined in Section 4 below).
The Executive hereby agrees that if part or all of the Restricted Shares
are forfeited pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall have the
right to direct the Company’s transfer agent to cancel such forfeited
Restricted Shares or, at the Company’s election, transfer such Restricted
Shares to the Company or to any designee of the Company.

Executive is a stockholder with respect to all of the Restricted Shares
granted to him pursuant to Section 1 and has all of the rights of a
stockholder with respect to all such Restricted Shares, including the

described in Section 5.




     4. Forfeiture and Expiration of Restrictions.




     (a) The Executive shall forfeit to the Company (i) all of the
Restricted Shares immediately and without any payment to the
Executive whatsoever if the Executive’s employment with the Company
or a subsidiary of the Company is terminated before                     ,
      for any reason other than death, total and permanent
disability, or retirement, as provided in Section 4(b) below, and
(ii) two-thirds (2⁄3) of the Restricted Shares if the Executive’s
employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is so
terminated after                     ,       and before                     ,
     , and (iii) one-third (1⁄3) of the Restricted Shares if the
Executive’s employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company is so terminated after                     ,       and before
                    ,      . After                                         ,      , one-third (1⁄3)
of the Restricted Shares will be fully vested and nonforfeitable,
and after                                         ,      , two-thirds (2⁄3) of the Restricted
Shares shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable, and after
                                        ,       all Restricted Shares shall be fully
vested and nonforfeitable (“Vested Shares”).




     (b) In the event of the Executive’s (i) death, (ii) total and
permanent disability as determined by the Long-Term Incentive
Compensation Plan Committee (the “Committee”) in its sole
discretion, or (iii) retirement after attaining the normal
retirement age of 62 or retirement after attaining an earlier
retirement age approved by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
before lapse of all restrictions pursuant to Section 4(a) above,
the Executive shall forfeit a number of Restricted Shares equal to
the number of Restricted Shares specified in Section 1 times the
percentage that the period of full months beginning on the first
day of the calendar month following the date of death, disability
or retirement and ending on                                         ,       bears to sixty
(60) and any remaining Restricted Shares that are not vested shall
become Vested Shares; provided, however, that any fractional shares
will be forfeited to the Company. In its sole discretion, the
Committee may decide to vest all of the Restricted Shares in-lieu
of the prorated number of Restricted Shares as provided in this
Section 4(b). Unless the Committee determines otherwise, in its
sole discretion, the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiary or
estate will have no right to any Restricted Shares that remain
subject to restrictions, and those Restricted Shares will be
forfeited.




     (c) In the event of a “Special Involuntary Termination” as
defined in Section 4(d)(vi) before lapse of all restrictions
pursuant to Section 4(a) above, all restrictions described in
Section 5 shall lapse and the Restricted Shares will become Vested
Shares and the Company shall deliver the Vested Shares to the
Executive as soon as practicable thereafter.

     6. Nontransferability of Agreement. This Agreement and all rights
under this Agreement shall not be transferable by the Executive during
his life other than by will or pursuant to applicable laws of descent and
distribution. Any rights and privileges of the Executive in connection
herewith shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged or



5









 






hypothecated by the Executive or by any other person or persons, in
any way, whether by operation of law, or otherwise, and shall not be
subject to execution, attachment, garnishment or similar process. In the
event of any such occurrence, this Agreement shall automatically be
terminated and shall thereafter be null and void. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all or some of the Restricted Shares or rights under this
Agreement may be transferred to a spouse pursuant to a domestic relations
order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to the
limitations on such transfer described in Section 5.




     7. Adjustment of Restricted Shares. The number of Restricted Shares
granted to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be adjusted to
reflect stock dividends, stock splits or other changes in the capital
structure of the Company, all in accordance with the Plan. All
provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable to such new or
additional or different shares or securities distributed or issued
pursuant to the Plan to the same extent that such provisions are
applicable to the shares with respect to which they were distributed or
issued. In the event that the outstanding Shares (as defined in the
Plan) of the Company are exchanged for a different number or kind of
shares or other securities, or if additional, new or different shares are
distributed with respect to the Shares (as defined in the Plan) through
merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company, each remaining share subject to this Agreement shall have
substituted for it a like number and kind of shares of new or replacement
securities as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, subject
to the terms and provisions of the Plan.




     8. Delivery of Vested Shares. No Vested Shares shall be delivered
pursuant to this Agreement until the approval of any governmental
authority required in connection with this Agreement, or the issuance of
Vested Shares hereunder, has been received by the Company. The Committee
will delay delivery of Vested Shares until the restrictions of Section 5
lapse.




     9. Securities Act. The Company shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cause the Restricted Shares to be registered under the
appropriate rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company shall not be required to deliver any Vested
Shares of stock hereunder if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
such delivery would violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other
applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.




     10. Federal and State Taxes. The Executive may incur certain
liabilities for Federal, state or local taxes and the Company may be
required by law to withhold such taxes for payment to taxing authorities.
If the Executive makes the election permitted by section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code, the taxes shall be due and payable for the year in
which this Agreement is executed. If the Executive does not make such
election, the taxes shall be payable for the year in which the
restrictions lapse pursuant to Section 4. Upon determination of the year
in which such taxes are due and the determination by the Company of the
amount of taxes required to be withheld, if any, the Executive shall
either pay to the Company, in cash or by certified or cashier’s check, an
amount equal to the taxes required to be paid on such transaction, or the
Executive shall authorize the Company to withhold from monies owing by
the Company to the Executive



6









 






an amount equal to the amount of federal, state or local taxes
required to be withheld. Authorization of the Executive to the Company
to withhold taxes pursuant to this Section 10 shall be in form and
content acceptable to the Committee. An authorization to withhold taxes
pursuant to this provision shall be irrevocable unless and until the tax
liability of the Executive has been fully paid. In the event that the
Executive fails to make arrangements that are acceptable to the Committee
for providing to the Company, at the time or times required, the amounts
of federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld with respect to
the Restricted Shares granted to the Executive under this Agreement, the
Company shall have the right to purchase at current market price as
determined by the Committee and/or to sell to one or more third parties
in either market or private transactions sufficient Vested Shares to
provide the funds needed for the Company to make the required tax payment
or payments.




     11. Definitions; Copy of Plan. To the extent not specifically
provided herein, all terms used in this Agreement shall have the same
meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. By the execution of this
Agreement, the Executive acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. If
any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable under any applicable law, then such provision will be
deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it legal,
valid and enforceable; and if such provision cannot be so modified, then
this Agreement will be construed as if not containing the provision held
to be invalid, and the rights and obligations of the parties will be
construed and enforced accordingly.




     12. Administration. This Agreement shall at all times be subject to
the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Committee shall have sole and
complete discretion with respect to all matters reserved to it by the
Plan and decisions of a majority of the Committee with respect thereto
and this Agreement shall be final and binding upon the Executive and the
Company. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.




     13. No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement shall not be
construed to confer upon the Executive any right to continue as an
Executive of the Company and shall not limit the right of the Company, in
its sole discretion, to terminate the service of the Executive at any
time.




     14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and
administered under the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect
to any conflict of laws provisions.




     15. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written
agreement executed by the Company and the Executive. Any such amendment
shall be made only upon the mutual consent of the parties, which consent
(of either party) may be withheld for any reason.




     16. No Liability for Good Faith Determinations. The Company and the
members of the Committee and the Board shall not be liable for any act,
omission or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to this
Agreement or the Restricted Shares granted hereunder.



7









 






     17. No Guarantee of Interests. The Board and the Company do not
guarantee the Shares (as defined in the Plan) from loss or depreciation.



     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed
by its officers thereunto duly authorized, and the Executive has set his hand
effective as of the date and year first above written.
