ARTICLE III 

VESTING

Section 3.2 - Expiration of Restricted Stock Units

(b)If (a) above does not apply, to the extent Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated due to Employee’s death or by the Company due to Employee’s Disability prior to any RSU Vesting Date, one hundred percent (100%) of the unvested Restricted Stock Units as of the date of such termination of employment shall vest upon such termination of employment.   

(c)Subject to (a) and (b) above, the Employee shall cease any additional vesting in his or her Restricted Stock Units upon any termination of his or her employment and the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall be cancelled without payment therefor upon any termination of his or her employment. 

ARTICLE IV 

STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS 

Section 4.1 - Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates 

The shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, or any portion thereof, shall be fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company shall not be required to deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of stock upon the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units, or any portion thereof, prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: 

(a)The obtaining of approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and 

(b)The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience. 

Section 4.2 - Rights as Stockholder 

(a)RSU Rights.  Unless otherwise set forth herein, the Employee shall receive, as soon as practicable after the applicable RSU Vesting Date (but in no event later than ten (10) business days following the RSU Vesting Date), one share of Common Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit that the Employee holds hereunder.  Certificates for the Common Stock shall be delivered to the Employee or to the Employee’s legal guardian or representative (or if such Common Stock is evidenced by uncertificated securities registered or recorded in records maintained by or on behalf of the Company in the name of a clearing agency, the 

4



Company will cause the Common Stock to be entered in the records of such clearing agency as owned by the Employee).  It shall be a condition of the obligation of the Company upon delivery of Common Stock to the Employee pursuant this Section 4.2 that the Employee pay to the Company such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying any liability for any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such Common Stock.  Minimum required withholding shall be satisfied by the Company withholding Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Employee hereunder.  Until the applicable RSU Vesting Date, a holder of a Restricted Stock Unit shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company. 

(b)Dividend Equivalents for RSU Award.  With respect to each cash dividend or distribution (if any) paid with respect to Common Stock to holders of record on and after the Grant Date but before the applicable RSU Vesting Date, the Company shall maintain a notional account (the “Account”) for the benefit of the Employee, in which the Company shall record the amount of each such cash dividend or distribution (if any) to which the Employee would have been entitled if the Employee had held the same number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Term Sheet and these Terms and Conditions.  As soon as practicable after the RSU Vesting Date (but in no event later than ten (10) business days following the RSU Vesting Date), the Employee shall, in the discretion of the Company (with respect to the form of payment), be paid an amount equal to the balance of the Account in (a) cash or (b) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the balance of the Account, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value, on the RSU Vesting Date, of one share of Common Stock.  In the event the Account balance is paid in shares of Common Stock, if the calculation set forth in the preceding sentence results in fractional shares, the Company shall round such number of shares to the nearest whole number; provided, that if such number is rounded down, the Company shall pay to the Employee an amount in cash equal to the fractional shares based on the Fair Market Value thereof.  In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason (other than a termination that results in the acceleration of vesting of RSUs) prior to any RSU Vesting Date, the Employee shall forfeit all amounts maintained in the Account without consideration therefor.   

(c)Delay of Receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Employee would be required to make a filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act in connection with receipt of Common Stock, the applicable time period(s) shall be appropriately extended to permit such filing and subsequent receipt of Common Stock (and associated Account) but not beyond March 15th in the year following the year in which the RSU Vesting Date occurs. 

(d)Limitation on Obligations.  The Company’s obligation with respect to the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder is limited solely to the delivery to the Employee of shares of Common Stock on the date when such shares are due to be delivered hereunder, and in no way shall the Company become obligated to pay cash in respect of such obligation (except as set forth in Section 4.2(b) hereof).  This RSU Award shall not be secured by any specific assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor shall any assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates be designated as attributable or allocated to the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Term Sheet, these Terms and Conditions or the Plan. 

5



(e)Tax Advice.  The Employee is hereby advised to seek his or her own tax counsel regarding the taxation of an award of Restricted Stock Units made hereunder.
