                              Period, you shall become vested, with respect to
                              the Target Number of Performance Units subject to
                              this Award, in the following percentage that
                              corresponds to your achievement of the specified

                              In its sole and absolute discretion, the Committee
                              shall (i) determine the Performance Level and
                              Performance Range, and (ii) may adjust your
                              vesting percentage to take into account
                              intermediate results between Performance Levels,
                              provided that your vesting percentage shall under
                              no event exceed 120%.
</TABLE>

      If the Performance Goals for any Performance Period are not satisfied, the
Committee shall have the sole and absolute discretion, to be exercised only in
writing, with respect to all or some of the Shares allocated to that Performance
Period, either (i) to add those Shares to the Shares allocated to one or more
future Performance Periods, or (ii) to determine that the Performance Goals have
been satisfied with respect to such Shares, but only if you are not a "covered
employee" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code for a taxable year of
the Company in which a Performance Period ends.

      2. ACCELERATED VESTING. If your Continuous Service ends due to your death,
your "disability" within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, or your
retirement, you will become partially vested in the Shares subject to this Award
(and will forfeit all other rights under this Award). The number of Shares in
which your interest vests will be determined by multiplying the total number of
Shares subject to this Award by a fraction having (a) a numerator equal to the
number of full months of your Continuous Service after the Grant Date, and (b) a
denominator equal to 36.

      3. CHANGE IN CORPORATE CONTROL. The provisions of this paragraph shall
supersede any contrary or inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 13 of the
Plan. In the event of a Change in Control, you will become partially vested in
the Shares subject to this Award. The number of Shares in which your interest
vests will be determined by multiplying the total number of Shares subject to
this Award by a fraction having (a) a numerator equal to the number of full
months of your Continuous Service between the Grant Date and the date of the
Change in Control, and (b) a

denominator equal to 36. If the unvested portion of this Award is assumed or
substituted by a Successor Corporation in a Change in Control, and your
employment is Involuntarily Terminated by the Successor Corporation in
connection with, or within 12 months following consummation of, the Change in
Control, then you shall not become fully vested in this Award unless the
Committee provides you with written notice that the Committee has decided, in
its sole and absolute discretion, to accelerate such vesting.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee notifies you in writing
within 25 months after a Change in Control that you have violated the
Non-Solicitation Agreement attached as Exhibit C, the Company shall have the
right to coincidentally redeem any Shares in which your rights vested pursuant
to Section 2 hereof as a result of your retirement. The price payable to redeem
such Shares will be U.S. $1.00 per Share, and the Company shall enclose it with
the written notice referenced in the preceding sentence. By executing this
Agreement, you agree to execute any document that the Company considers
reasonably necessary or proper to consummate this redemption.

      4. SATISFACTION OF VESTING RESTRICTIONS. No Shares will be issued before
you complete the requirements that are necessary for you to vest in the Shares
underlying your Performance Units. As soon as practicable after the date on
which your Award vests in whole or in part, the Company will issue to you or
your duly-authorized transferee, free from vesting restrictions (but subject to
such legends as the Company determines to be appropriate), one Share for each
vested Performance Unit. Fractional shares will not be issued, and cash will be
paid in lieu thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not issue
Share certificates to you unless you have made arrangements satisfactory to the
Committee to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations.

      5. FAILURE OF VESTING RESTRICTIONS. By executing this Award, you
acknowledge and agree that:

      (a)   if your Continuous Service terminates under circumstances that do
            not result in accelerated vesting pursuant to Section 2 above, you
            will irrevocably forfeit any and all rights under this Award, and
            this Award will immediately become null, void, and unenforceable;
            and

      (b)   if the Committee determines that the Performance Goals for any
            Performance Period have not been fully satisfied, you will
            irrevocably forfeit any and all rights with respect to the
            Performance Units attributable to that Performance Period.

      6. DIVIDENDS. When Shares are issued to you or your duly-authorized
transferee pursuant to the vesting of the Shares underlying your Performance
Units, you or your duly-authorized transferee shall also be entitled to receive,
with respect to each Share issued, an amount equal to any cash dividends (plus
simple interest at a rate of five percent per annum, or such other reasonable
rate as the Committee may determine) and a number of Shares equal to any stock
dividends, which were declared and paid to the holders of Shares between the
Grant Date and the date such Share is issued.

      7. VOTING. With respect to the Shares to be issued and held by you
pursuant to this Award, you may not exercise voting rights until you become the
record owner of the Shares.

      8. INVESTMENT PURPOSES. By executing this Award, you represent and warrant
to the Company that any Shares issued to you pursuant to this Award will be for
investment for your own account and not with a view to, for resale in connection
with, or with an intent of participating directly or indirectly in, any
distribution of such Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

      9. SECTION 83(b) ELECTION NOTICE. If you provide the Company with prior
written notice of your intention to make an election under Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to the Shares underlying
your Award (a "Section 83(b) election"), the Committee shall treat your
Performance Units as Restricted Stock Units, and accordingly convert your
Maximum Award of Performance Units into Restricted Shares, on a one-for-one
basis, pursuant to the terms of (and in full satisfaction of) this Award. You
agree to provide a copy of such election to the Company within 10 days after
filing that election with the Internal Revenue Service. Exhibit D contains a
suggested form of Section 83(b) election. Any Restricted Shares issued to you
pursuant to this Section 9 shall bear such legends as the Company determines to
be appropriate until all vesting restrictions lapse and replacement certificates
for unrestricted Shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 4 of this Award.

      10. DEFERRAL ELECTION. At any time during the calendar year in which you
receive this Award, you may irrevocably elect to defer the receipt of all or a
percentage of the Shares that would otherwise be issued to you on the vesting of
this Award. A copy of the form which you may use to make a deferral election is
attached hereto as Exhibit E. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares which have
been subject to a Section 83(b) election are not eligible for deferral.

      11. NOT A CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. By executing this Award, you acknowledge
and agree that (i) any person who is terminated before full vesting of an award,
such as the one granted to you by this Award, could claim that he or she was
terminated to preclude vesting; (ii) you promise never to make such a claim;
(iii) nothing in this Award or the Plan confers on you any right to continue an
employment, service or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it
affect in any way your right or the Company's right to terminate your
employment, service, or consulting relationship at any time, with or without
Cause; and (iv) the Company would not have granted this Award to you but for
these acknowledgements and agreements.

      12. SEVERABILITY. Subject to one exception, every provision of this Award
and the Plan is intended to be severable, and if any provision of the Plan or
this Award is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and
unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to be fully effective.
The only exception is that this Award shall be unenforceable if any provision of
the preceding section is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable.

      13. NOTICES. Any notice or communication required or permitted by any
provision of this Award to be given to you shall be in writing and shall be
delivered personally or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested,
addressed to you at the last address that the Company had for you on its
records. Each party may, from time to time, by notice to the other party hereto,
specify a new address for delivery of notices relating to this Award. Any such
notice shall be deemed to be given as of the date such notice is personally
delivered or properly mailed.
