WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Second Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which has been delivered or made available to Grantee, to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing the Company’s key employees and others with an appropriate incentive to encourage them to continue in the employ of the Company and to improve the growth and profitability of the Company; and


WHEREAS, the Plan provides for the Grant to Grantees in the Plan of restricted share units for shares of the Company’s Class C Shares (the “Class C Stock”);


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


1.Investment.  The Grantee represents that the Restricted Stock Units (as defined herein) are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward the distribution thereof.


2.Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee an Award of Restricted Stock Units for ________ shares of the Company’s Class C Stock (collectively, the “Restricted Stock Units”).  The actual number of shares earned will be 0% to 200% of this target number of Restricted Stock Units depending on the achievement of applicable performance metrics as provided herein.  The Purchase Price for the Restricted Stock Units shall be paid by the Grantee’s services to the Company.


3.Grant Date.  The Grant Date of the Restricted Stock Units hereby granted is ____________, 20__.


4.Incorporation of the Plan.  All terms, conditions and restrictions of the Plan are incorporated herein and made part hereof as if stated herein.  If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as interpreted by the Board, or a Committee thereof, shall govern.  Unless otherwise indicated herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.  










5.Calculation of Earned Restricted Stock Units. Grantee is eligible to earn between 0% and 200% of the Restricted Stock Units, with 100% representing the “Target” amount of Restricted Stock Units, and 200% representing the “Stretch” amount of Restricted Stock Units.  The number of Restricted Stock Units ultimately earned will depend on the extent to which the applicable performance metrics, Operating Income and Net Revenue, are satisfied during the Performance Period.  The Restricted Stock Units will be earned based upon the Company’s level of Operating Income and Net Revenue achieved during the Performance Period as determined in accordance with Exhibit 1 (the “Earned RSUs”).  The Earned RSUs will vest only to the extent the Grantee also satisfies the employment service requirements set forth in Section 6 below. Any Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee that are determined not to be Earned RSUs will be forfeited as of the date of the Compensation Committee Certification.  Exhibit 1 is attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein and made a part hereof as if stated herein.












6.Vesting and Settlement of Awards.
