TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS




1.    Stock Units; Vesting.




     1.1    Stock Units. As used herein, a “Stock Unit” is a non-voting unit of measurement which is
deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent in value to one outstanding share of Common Stock
of the Corporation. The Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of any
payment to eventually be made to the Grantee if and when such Stock Units vest pursuant to this
Section 1. One-third (1/3) of the Stock Units subject to the Award shall be subject to the
time-based vesting requirements set forth in Section 1.2 (“Time-Based Units”). Two-thirds
of the Stock Units subject to the Award shall be subject to the performance-based and time-based
vesting requirements set forth in Section 1.3 (“Performance-Based Units”).



     1.2    Time-Based Units. Subject to Sections 2 and 5 below, one hundred percent (100%)
of the Time-Based Units subject to the Award shall vest and become nonforfeitable on the last day
of the Time-Based Vesting Period (as set forth on the cover page of this Award Agreement) (the
“Time-Based Unit Vesting Date”).



     1.3    Performance-Based Units. The Performance-Based Units subject to the Award shall be
subject to the vesting requirements set forth in both Section 1.3.1 and Section
1.3.2.



     1.3.1    Performance-Based Vesting. Subject to Sections 1.3.2, 2 and 5 below, promptly
following the conclusion of the Performance-Based Vesting Period (as set forth on the cover page of
this Award Agreement), the Compensation Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the
“Committee”) shall determine the number of Performance-Based Units subject to the Award (if any)
that have become vested for purposes of this Section 1.3.1 based on the actual performance
of the Corporation during the Performance-Based Vesting Period (“Actual Performance”) relative to
the performance threshold (“Performance Threshold”) and performance target (“Performance Target”)
for each of the performance measures (each, a “Performance Measure”) established by the Committee
for such period as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. Subject to Section 1.3.2,
Stock Units shall vest for purposes of this Section 1.3.1 as of the conclusion of the
Performance Period as follows:




	 	•	 	if Actual Performance for that Performance Measure equals or exceeds the Performance
Target, 50% of the Performance-Based Units will vest on February 18, 2009 based on that
Performance Measure, or as soon thereafter as the achievement can practicably be
determined;
	 
	 	•	 	if Actual Performance for that Performance Measure equals but does not exceed the
Performance Threshold, 25% of the Performance-Based Units will vest on February 18,
2009 based on that Performance Measure, or as soon thereafter as the achievement can
practicably be determined;
	 
	 	•	 	if Actual Performance for that Performance Measure has exceeded the Performance
Threshold but the Performance Target for that Performance Measure has not been
achieved, between 25% and 50% of the Performance-Based Units will vest on a linear
basis (e.g., if the actual revenue performance is exactly between the Performance
Threshold and the Performance Target for that Performance Measure, 37.5% of the
Performance-Based Units will vest based on actual revenue) based on that Performance
Measure on February 18, 2009 or as soon thereafter as the achievement can practicably
be determined; and




1









 





	 	•	 	if the Performance Threshold for that Performance Measure has not been achieved, 0%
of the Performance-Based Units will vest as a result of performance based on that
Performance Measure.




No more than 50% of the total number of Performance-Based Units subject to the Award shall vest
with respect to any particular Performance Measure. Vesting pursuant to this Section 1.3.1
is cumulative as to both Performance Measures (that is, the total number of Performance-Based Units
subject to the Award that vest with respect to one Performance Measure shall be added to the total
number of Performance-Based Units subject to the Award that vest with respect to the other
Performance Measure to determine the total number of Performance-Based Units subject to the Award
that vest pursuant to this Section 1.3.1). Performance-Based Units subject to the Award
that do not vest in accordance with this Section 1.3.1 shall be forfeited without payment
therefor as of the last day of the Performance-Based Vesting Period.




     1.3.2    Time-Based Vesting of Performance-Based Units. Subject to Sections 2 and 5
below and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.3.1, (a) one-half (1/2) of
the number of Performance-Based Units subject to the Award that become vested for purposes of
Section 1.3.1 shall become vested for purposes of this Section 1.3.2 as of the
earlier of the date in 2009 the Corporation’s 2008 financial results are audited and February 28,
2009, and (b) the remaining one-half of the Performance-Based Units subject to the Award that
become vested for purposes of Section 1.3.1 shall become vested for purposes of this
Section 1.3.2 as of February 18, 2010 (the applicable vesting date referred to in clause
(a) above and February 18, 2010 are each referred to in this Award Agreement as a
“Performance-Based Unit Vesting Date”). In the event that the Corporation’s 2008 financial results
have not been audited as of February 28, 2009, the number of Performance-Based Units that become
vested for purposes of Section 1.3.1 and clause (a) of this Section 1.3.2 shall be
determined by the Committee in good faith based on the financial information then available. For
avoidance of doubt, subject to Sections 2 and 5 below, Performance-Based Units subject to
the Award shall not become payable, and there shall be no Distribution Date (as defined in
Section 4 below) with respect thereto, unless and until such Performance-Based Units have
become vested for purposes of both Section 1.3.1 and this Section 1.3.2.



2.    Termination of Employment/Service; No Employment/Service Commitment.




     2.1    Continuance of Employment/Service Required. The vesting of Time-Based Units and
Performance-Based Units subject to the Award and the rights and benefits under this Award Agreement
require continued employment or service through the applicable Distribution Date (as defined in
Section 4) applicable to such units. Except as expressly provided in this Section
2 or in Section 5, employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even
if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or
mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or
services as provided herein or under the Plan.



     2.2    Possible Vesting upon Termination of Employment/Service. If the Grantee ceases to be
employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, unless the provisions
of Section 5 apply in which case the provisions of that section shall prevail, the
following rules shall apply (the last day that the Grantee is employed by or provides services to
the Corporation or a Subsidiary is referred to as the Grantee’s “Severance Date”). The Committee
shall be the sole judge of whether the Grantee continues to render employment or services for
purposes of this Award Agreement.



2









 





     2.2.1    Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement Prior to End of Time-Based Vesting
Period. In the event the Grantee’s employment or services terminate due to the Grantee’s death,
Disability (as defined below) or Retirement (as defined below) prior to the conclusion of the
Time-Based Vesting Period, the Time-Based Units subject to this Award shall vest on a pro rata
basis as of the Grantee’s Severance Date. The number of Time-Based Units that shall so vest shall
equal (i) the number of Time-Based Units subject to the Award (to the extent such units are not
then vested), multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole
months during the Time-Based Vesting Period the Grantee was employed by or rendered services to the
Corporation or a Subsidiary, and the denominator of which shall be the number of whole months in
the Time-Based Vesting Period. If this Section 2.2.1 applies, any Time-Based Units subject
to the Award that do not vest in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall terminate as of the
Grantee’s Severance Date.



     2.2.2    Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement Prior to End of Performance-Based
Vesting Period. In the event the Grantee’s employment or services terminate due to the Grantee’s
death, Disability or Retirement prior to the conclusion of the Performance-Based Vesting Period,
the number of Performance-Based Units subject to the Award that shall become vested as of the
conclusion of the Performance-Based Vesting Period shall equal (a) the number of Performance-Based
Units subject to the Award that would have vested as of the conclusion of the Performance-Based
Vesting Period in accordance with Section 1.3.1 above (assuming no termination of
employment or services had occurred), multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the number of whole months during the Performance-Based Vesting Period the Grantee was employed by
or rendered services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, and the denominator of which shall be the
number of whole months in the Performance-Based Vesting Period (the “Pro-Rata Fraction”). If this
Section 2.2.2 applies, any Performance-Based Units subject to the Award that do not vest in
accordance with the foregoing provisions shall terminate as of the conclusion of the
Performance-Based Vesting Period.



     2.2.3    Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement after Performance-Based Vesting
Period. In the event the Grantee’s employment or services terminate due to the Grantee’s death,
Disability or Retirement on or after the conclusion of the Performance-Based Vesting Period, the
aggregate number of Performance-Based Units subject to the Award that became vested as of the
conclusion of the Performance-Based Vesting Period in accordance with Section 1.3.1 above
shall become vested as of the Grantee’s Severance Date (to the extent outstanding and not otherwise
vested on or before such date pursuant to Section 1.3.2).



     2.2.4    Termination for Any Reason Other than Death, Disability or Retirement. Subject to
Section 5 below, in the event the Grantee’s employment or services terminate for any reason
other than the Grantee’s death, Disability or Retirement, the Award and any Stock Units subject to
the Award, to the extent not vested (pursuant to Sections 1.2 and 1.3) on the Severance
Date, shall terminate as of the Severance Date.



     2.2.5    Definitions. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Disability” means a “disability” as
such term is defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Award
Agreement, “Retirement” means a Separation from Service (as defined below) by the Grantee that
occurs both (a) upon or after the Grantee’s attainment of age 55 and (b) upon or after the date
when the sum of the Grantee’s age and the Grantee’s years of service to the Corporation and its
Subsidiaries (such years of service determined in accordance with the rules for determining years
of service under the Corporation’s 401(k) Plan) is at least 60. For purposes of this Award
Agreement, a “Separation from Service” means the Grantee’s



3









 






“separation from service” with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries as that term is used for
purposes of Section 409A of the Code.



     2.3    No Employment/Service Commitment. Nothing contained in this Award Agreement or the Plan
constitutes a continued employment or service commitment by the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries, affects the Grantee’s status, if he or she is an employee, as an employee at will who
is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Grantee any right to remain employed by
or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or service, or affects the
right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Grantee’s other
compensation.



3.    No Stockholder Rights.




     The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights and
no voting rights with respect to the Stock Units or any shares of Common Stock issuable in respect
of such Stock Units, until shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the
Grantee. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the
record date is prior to the date of issuance of the stock certificate evidencing the shares.



4.    Timing and Manner of Distribution of Stock Units.




     Stock Units subject to the Award that vest (pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.3) will be
paid in an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more
certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the
Corporation in its discretion) no later than seventy (70) days after the applicable Distribution
Date with respect to such Stock Units. Such payment shall be subject to the tax withholding
provisions of Section 8 below and Section 8.5 of the Plan and subject to adjustment
as contemplated by Section 7 below and Section 7.1 of the Plan and shall be in
complete satisfaction of such vested Stock Units. The Grantee or other person entitled under the
Plan to receive the shares shall deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents
or assurances required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan. Delivery of any certificates
will be made to the Grantee’s last address reflected on the books of the Corporation or its
Subsidiaries unless the Corporation is otherwise instructed in writing.



     The “Distribution Date” for the Stock Units that vest pursuant to the Award shall be
determined pursuant to this paragraph. The Distribution Date for Time-Based Units that vest
pursuant to Section 1.2 shall be the Time-Based Unit Vesting Date. The Distribution Date
for Performance-Based Units that vest pursuant to Section 1.3 shall be the applicable
Performance-Based Unit Vesting Date. The Distribution Date for Performance-Based Units that vest
pursuant to Section 2.2.2 shall be the last day of the Performance-Based Vesting Period.
The Distribution Date for Stock Units that vest pursuant to either Section 2.2.1 or
Section 2.2.3 shall be the date of the Grantee’s death, Disability or Retirement, as
applicable. The Distribution Date for Stock Units that vest pursuant to Section 5.1 or
Section 5.2 shall be the date on which the related Change in Control occurs.



5.    Changes in Control.




     5.1 Possible Acceleration upon Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control (as defined
below), if the Stock Units subject to the Award are not then otherwise fully vested (and



4









 






have not previously terminated), they shall automatically become vested immediately prior to
the occurrence of such event. Subject to Section 5.2 below, if an acceleration of the
outstanding Stock Units subject to the Award is triggered by this Section 5.1 but the
Grantee’s employment terminated prior to the event triggering such acceleration in circumstances
covered by Section 2.2.2 and the number of Performance-Based Units that are to vest
pursuant to Section 2.2.2 has not yet been determined as of the date of such event, the
number of Performance-Based Units subject to the Award which shall vest in accordance with such
event shall equal the number of Performance-Based Units outstanding subject to the Award
immediately prior to such event multiplied by the Pro-Rata Fraction, and the balance of the
Performance-Based Units subject to the Award (the portion not so vested) shall thereupon terminate.
The preceding sentence shall control in the event of any discrepancy with Section 2.2.2.
For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean a “change in the ownership or
effective control” of the Corporation, or a change “in the ownership of a substantial portion of
the assets” of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.



     5.2    Termination of Employment in Connection with a Change in Control. The following
provisions of this Section 5.2 supersede any inconsistent provision of Section 2.2.
The Stock Units subject to the Award, to the extent such Stock Units are outstanding and have not
previously become vested in accordance with the terms hereof and except as provided in the next
sentence, shall be deemed to be have been fully vested as of the Grantee’s Severance Date if the
Grantee incurs a Qualifying Termination. The Grantee shall be deemed to have incurred a
“Qualifying Termination” for this purpose if the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the
Corporation or a Subsidiary without Cause within the period that ends with a Change in Control and
begins with the first to occur of (i) the initial public announcement of the Change in Control, or
(ii) the 90th day preceding the Change in Control.



     For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Cause” shall mean that the Corporation, acting in good
faith based upon the information then known to the Corporation, determines that the Grantee has (1)
engaged in or committed willful misconduct; (2) engaged in or committed theft, fraud or other
illegal conduct; (3) refused or demonstrated an unwillingness to substantially perform his duties
for a 30-day period after written demand for substantial performance that refers to this paragraph
and is delivered by the Corporation that specifically identifies the manner in which the
Corporation believes the Grantee has not substantially performed his duties; (4) refused or
demonstrated an unwillingness to reasonably cooperate in good faith with any Corporation or
government investigation or provide testimony therein (other than such failure resulting from the
Grantee’s disability); (5) engaged in or committed insubordination; (6) engaged in or committed any
willful act that is likely to and which does in fact have the effect of injuring the reputation or
business of the Corporation or, if the Grantee is employed by a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary that
employs the Grantee; (7) willfully violated his fiduciary duty or his duty of loyalty to the
Corporation or a Subsidiary, or the Corporation’s Code of Ethical Business Conduct in any material
respect; (8) used alcohol or drugs (other than drugs prescribed to the Grantee by a physician and
used by the Grantee for their intended purpose for which they had been prescribed) in a manner
which materially and repeatedly interferes with the performance of his duties hereunder or which
has the effect of materially injuring the reputation or business of the Corporation or a
Subsidiary; or (9) engaged in or committed a material breach of any written agreement with the
Corporation or a Subsidiary for a 30-day period after written notification is delivered by the
Corporation or a Subsidiary, as applicable, that specifically refers to this paragraph and
identifies the manner in which the Corporation or Subsidiary believes the Grantee has materially
breached such agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on the
Grantee’s part shall be considered willful unless done or omitted to be done,



5









 






by the Grantee not in good faith or without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in
the best interest of the Corporation or, if the Grantee is employed by a Subsidiary, the
Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of any termination of
employment that occurs within the period that (1) begins with the first to occur of (a) the initial
public announcement of a Change in Control, or (b) the 90th day preceding a Change in Control and
(2) ends with such Change in Control, “Cause” shall instead mean only the occurrence of either or
both of the following: (A) the Grantee’s conviction for committing an act of fraud, embezzlement,
theft, or other act constituting a felony (other than traffic related offenses or as a result of
vicarious liability); or (B) the willful engaging by the Grantee in misconduct that is
significantly injurious to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee shall not
be deemed to have been terminated for Cause without delivery to the Grantee of a notice of
termination signed by the Corporation’s Chairman of the Board stating that the Board of Directors
of the Corporation has determined that the Grantee has engaged in or committed conduct of the
nature described in this paragraph, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.



     5.3    Section 280G. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Section 5 to the
contrary, in no event shall the Award be accelerated to an extent or in a manner which would not be
fully deductible by the Corporation for federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the
Code. If the Grantee would be entitled to benefits or payments hereunder and under any other plan
or program that would constitute “parachute payments” as defined in Section 280G of the Code, then
the Grantee may by written notice to the Corporation designate the order in which such parachute
payments will be reduced or modified so that the Corporation is not denied federal income tax
deductions for any “parachute payments” because of Section 280G of the Code. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Grantee is a party to an employment or other agreement with the Corporation, or
is a participant in a severance program sponsored by the Corporation, that contains express
provisions regarding Section 280G and/or Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar successor
provision), the Section 280G and/or Section 4999 provisions of such employment or other agreement
or plan, as applicable, shall control as to the Award (for example, and without limitation, the
Grantee may be a party to an employment agreement with the Corporation that provides for a
“gross-up” as opposed to a “cut-back” in the event that the Section 280G thresholds are reached or
exceeded in connection with a change in control and, in such event, the Section 280G and/or Section
4999 provisions of such employment agreement shall control as to the Award).



     5.4    Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, if
the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, the Grantee shall not
be entitled to any payment with respect to the Award in connection with the Grantee’s Separation
From Service until the earlier of (a) the date which is six (6) months after the Grantee’s
Separation From Service for any reason other than the Grantee’s death, or (b) the date of the
Grantee’s death. Any amounts otherwise payable to the Grantee following the Grantee’s Separation
From Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 5.4 shall be paid as soon as
practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after
the Grantee’s Separation From Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Grantee’s death). The
provisions of this Section 5.4 shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to comply
with Section 409A of the Code.



6.    Non-Transferability.




     Prior to the time the Stock Units are vested and paid, neither the Stock Units comprising the
Award nor any other rights of the Grantee under this Award Agreement or the Plan may be
transferred, except as expressly provided in Section 5.7 of the Plan. No specific
exception to the



6









 






general transfer prohibitions set forth in Section 5.7 of the Plan has been authorized
by the Committee.



7.    Adjustments.




     Upon the occurrence of an Event (as defined below), the Committee shall make adjustments as it
deems appropriate in the number and kind of securities or other consideration that may become
payable with respect to the Award. If an Event shall occur and the Award has not been fully vested
and paid upon such Event or prior thereto, the Award may become payable in securities or other
consideration (the “Restricted Property”) rather than in the Common Stock otherwise payable in
respect of the Award. Such Restricted Property shall become payable at the times set forth in
Section 4 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Restricted Property
includes any cash, the commitment hereunder shall become an unsecured promise to pay an amount
equal to such cash (with earnings attributable thereto as if such amount had been invested,
pursuant to policies established by the Committee, in interest bearing, FDIC insured (subject to
applicable insurance limits) deposits of a depository institution selected by the Committee) at
such times and in such proportions as the Award becomes payable in accordance with Section
4 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Award and any Common Stock or other securities or
property payable in respect of the Award shall continue to be subject to proportionate and
equitable adjustments (if any) under this Section 7 consistent with the effect of such
events on stockholders generally, as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate, and
in the number, kind and/or character of shares of Common Stock or other securities, property and/or
rights payable in respect of Stock Units granted under the Plan. All rights of the Grantee
hereunder are subject to those adjustments. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Event” means a
liquidation, dissolution, Change in Control, merger, consolidation, or other combination or
reorganization, stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, or a recapitalization,
reclassification, extraordinary dividend or other distribution (including a split up or a spin off
of the Corporation or any significant Subsidiary), or a sale or other distribution of all or
substantially all the assets of the Corporation as an entirety.



     The Committee shall, to the extent it determines appropriate in order to preserve the intended
incentives, adjust the Performance Measures, Performance Thresholds and Targets to mitigate the
unbudgeted impact of material, unusual or nonrecurring gains and losses, accounting changes or
other extraordinary events not foreseen at the time the targets were established, including without
limitation the effects of any unbudgeted changes in government reimbursement rates, [sensitive
competitive information deleted]. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Committee will not make any
change or adjustment under the Plan to the extent it would cause Plan bonuses to cease to qualify
as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. No
adjustment may be made on or following the occurrence of a Change in Control, except by the
Committee as constituted immediately prior to such Change in Control within a reasonable period of
time following the occurrence of such Change in Control.



8.    Tax Withholding.




     Subject to Section 8.5 of the Plan, upon any distribution of Common Stock in respect
of the Stock Units, the Corporation shall, to the extent it is legally permitted to do so,
automatically reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the
appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value (with the “fair market
value” of such shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan), to
satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such
distribution of shares at the minimum applicable withholding rates unless the Grantee has made
other



7









 






arrangements approved by the Administrator to provide for such withholding. In the event that
the Corporation cannot legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such reduction of shares, or
in the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the Stock Units, the
Corporation (or a Subsidiary) shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the
Grantee and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Grantee any sums required by
federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution or payment.



9.    Notices.




     Any notice to be given under the terms of this Award Agreement shall be in writing and
addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the
Grantee at the address last reflected on the Corporation’s payroll records. Any notice shall be
delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope, addressed as aforesaid,
registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a
post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such
notice shall be deemed to be “given” only when actually received, but if the Grantee is no longer
an Eligible Person, shall be deemed to have been duly “given” as of the date mailed in accordance
with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.



10.    Limitation on Grantee’s Rights.




     The Stock Units create no fiduciary duty to the Grantee and shall create only a contractual
obligation on the part of the Corporation to make distributions, subject to vesting and the other
terms and conditions hereof, as provided in Sections 3 and 4 above. The Stock Units shall
not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. No assets have been secured or set
aside by the Corporation with respect to the Award and, if amounts become distributable or payable
to the Grantee pursuant to this Award Agreement, the Grantee’s rights with respect to such amounts
shall be no greater than the rights of any general unsecured creditor of the Corporation.



11.    Plan.




     The Award and all rights of the Grantee under this Award Agreement are subject to all of the
terms and conditions of the Plan, incorporated herein by this reference. The Grantee agrees to be
bound by the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement (including these Terms). The Grantee
acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan, and this Award
Agreement and having had ample opportunity to consult (to the extent the Grantee has determined it
appropriate to do so) with his or her own legal, tax and financial advisors regarding the Award.
Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Award Agreement, provisions of the
Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Committee do not and shall not be
deemed to create any rights in the Grantee unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are

     This Award Agreement (including these Terms and any other document expressly referred to

understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof. The Plan and this Award Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of



8









 






the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. The Corporation
may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not
adversely affect the interests of the Grantee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be
construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision
hereof.

     This Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.



14.    Arbitration.




     Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Award Agreement
shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a single neutral arbitrator in
accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s National Rules for Resolution of Employment
Disputes as then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having
jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne by the Company.



15.    Construction.




     This Award Agreement shall be construed and interpreted to comply with Section 409A of
the Code. The Corporation reserves the right to amend this Award Agreement to the extent it

Units in light of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations or other guidance promulgated
thereunder.



16.    Effect of this Agreement.

instrument.

     The section headings of this Award Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall
not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.



19.    Agreements Regarding Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.




     Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the right of the Grantee to
the Award, as well as the right of the Grantee to or with respect to any Common Stock or cash that
is payable or has, at the relevant time, previously been paid with respect to the Award (or any
consideration received in respect thereof, as the case may be) is subject to the terms and
conditions of the Grantee’s “Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement” with the Corporation (or
any similar or successor agreement, as applicable), including any such

Nonsolicitation Agreement”). This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement is one of the Grantee’s
Incentive Compensation Agreements as defined in such Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement.
By accepting the Award, and again by accepting any payment of Common Stock or cash with respect to
the Award, the Grantee affirms his or her representations, covenants and agreements set forth in
his or her Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement and agrees that his or her rights with
respect to the Award and any such payment (or any consideration received in respect thereof, as the
case may be) are and shall continue thereafter to be subject to such Noncompetition and
Nonsolicitation Agreement. [Provision included in agreements for Divisional Vice Presidents and
above.]



20.    Stock Ownership Requirements.




     The
Award and all rights of Grantee under this Award Agreement or in connection with any shares of
the Corporation’s Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Award
Agreement are and shall be subject
to, and Grantee agrees to be bound by, all of the terms and
conditions of the Corporation’s Stock
