      1.    RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS.

      a)    No Shareholder  Rights.  The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant
      to  this  Award  do not and  shall  not  entitle  you to any  rights  of a
      shareholder  of Common Stock.  Your rights with respect to the  Restricted
      Stock Units  shall  remain  forfeitable  at all times prior to the date on
      which such rights become vested,  and the restrictions with respect to the
      Restricted Stock Units lapse, in accordance with Section 2 or 3.

      b)    Additional  Restricted  Stock Units.  As long as you hold Restricted
      Stock Units  granted  pursuant to this Award,  the Company shall credit to
      you,  on each date that the  Company  pays a cash  dividend  to holders of
      Common Stock  generally,  an additional  number of Restricted  Stock Units
      ("Additional  Restricted  Stock Units") equal to the total number of whole
      Restricted  Stock Units and Additional  Restricted  Stock Units previously
      credited to you under this Award  multiplied  by the dollar  amount of the
      cash  dividend paid per share of Common Stock by the Company on such date,
      divided by the Fair Market  Value of a share of Common Stock on such date.
      Any fractional Restricted Stock Unit resulting from such calculation shall
      be included in the Additional Restricted Stock Units. A report showing the
      number of Additional  Restricted  Stock Units so credited shall be sent to
      you periodically,  as determined by the Company. The Additional Restricted
      Stock Units so credited  shall be subject to the same terms and conditions
      as the Restricted  Stock Units to which such Additional  Restricted  Stock
      Units relate and the Additional  Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited
      in the event that the  Restricted  Stock Units with  respect to which such
      Additional Restricted Stock Units were credited are forfeited.

      c)    Conversion of Restricted  Stock Units;  Issuance of Common Stock. No
      shares of Common  Stock  shall be issued to you prior to the date on which
      the Restricted Stock Units vest, and the restrictions  with respect to the
      Restricted  Stock Units lapse,  in accordance with Section 2 or 3. Neither
      this Section 1(c) nor any action taken  pursuant to or in accordance  with
      this Section 1(c) shall be construed to create a trust of any kind.  After
      any  Restricted  Stock Units vest  pursuant to Section 2 or 3, the Company
      shall  promptly  cause  shares to be issued as  provided in Section 5. The
      value of any fractional Restricted Stock Unit shall be paid in cash at the
      time  certificates are delivered to you in payment of the Restricted Stock
      Units and any Additional Restricted Stock Units.

      2. VESTING.  Subject to the  limitations  contained  herein,  1/4th of the
   shares will vest (you shall  become  entitled to receive  Common Stock on the
   terms and conditions  provided herein and in the Plan) each year beginning on
   the 14th day of January,  2006, and annually  thereafter until either (i) you
   cease to provide  services to the Company for any reason,  or (ii) this Award
   becomes fully vested.

      3. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.  If your  employment is terminated
   by you or by the  Company or a  Subsidiary  before the  Vesting  Date for any
   reason other than your death or Disability, all of the restricted stock units
   shall be forfeited;  provided,  however, that, any provision of this Award to
   the  contrary  notwithstanding,  the  Compensation  Committee of the Board of
   Directors  of the  Company  (the  "Committee")  may in its sole and  absolute
   discretion  at any time  before,  or within 120 days after,  the date of such
   termination of employment determine that some or all of such restricted stock
   units shall be free of restrictions and shall not be forfeited.

      4. STOCK CERTIFICATES.  Stock certificates (the "Certificates") evidencing
   the conversion of restricted stock units into shares of Common Stock shall be
   issued  as of the  Vesting  Date and  registered  in your  name,  or,  if you
   request,  the  Company  shall  promptly  cause  the  shares  to be  issued in
   book-entry form, registered in your name. Subject to Section 8 of this Award,
   Certificates  representing  the  unrestricted  shares of Common Stock will be
   delivered to you as soon as practicable  after the Vesting Date. If, however,
   you elect to defer  payment  of the  shares of Common  Stock as  provided  in
   Section 5 of this  Award,  the shares of Common  Stock shall be issued as set
   forth in the Deferral Election Agreement entered into between the Company and
   you.

      5.  DEFERRAL  ELECTION.  You may elect to defer  delivery of the shares of
   Common Stock that would  otherwise be due by virtue of the lapse or waiver of
   the vesting requirements as set forth in Section 2. If such deferral election
   is made, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish the rules and
   procedures for such payment deferrals.

      6.  RESTRICTION  ON TRANSFER.  The  Restricted  Stock Units and any rights
   under  this  Award  may  not  be  sold,   assigned,   transferred,   pledged,
   hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by you otherwise than by will or by the
   laws of descent and  distribution,  and any such purported sale,  assignment,
   transfer,  pledge,  hypothecation  or  other  disposition  shall  be void and
   unenforceable against the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, in
   the  manner  established  by  the  Committee,   designate  a  beneficiary  or
   beneficiaries to exercise your rights and receive any property  distributable
   with respect to the Restricted Stock Units upon your death.

      7.  ADJUSTMENTS TO RESTRICTED  STOCK UNITS. In the event that any dividend
   or other  distribution  (whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock,
   other securities or other property),  recapitalization,  stock split, reverse
   stock  split,  reorganization,  merger,  consolidation,  split-up,  spin-off,
   combination,  repurchase  or exchange of Common Stock or other  securities of
   the Company or other similar  corporate  transaction  or event  affecting the
   Common  Stocks  would be  reasonably  likely to result in the  diminution  or
   enlargement of any of the benefits or potential  benefits intended to be made
   available under the Award  (including,  without  limitation,  the benefits or
   potential  benefits of provisions  relating to the vesting of the  Restricted
   Stock Units),  the Committee shall, in such manner as it shall deem equitable
   or appropriate in order to prevent such diminution or enlargement of any such
   benefits or potential  benefits,  make  adjustments  to the Award,  including
   adjustments  in the number and type of shares of Common  Stock you would have
   received upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units; provided,  however, that
   the number of shares into which the  Restricted  Stock Units may be converted
   shall always be a whole number.

      8. INCOME TAX  MATTERS.  You shall be required to deposit with the Company
   an  amount  of cash  equal to the  amount  determined  by the  Company  to be
   required with respect to any withholding  taxes, FICA  contributions,  or the
   like  under  any  federal,  state,  or local  statute,  ordinance,  rule,  or
   regulation  in  connection  with the award,  deferral,  or  settlement of the
   restricted stock units. Alternatively, the Company may, at its sole election,
   withhold  the  required  amounts  from your pay during the pay  periods  next
   following  the date on which  any such  applicable  tax  liability  otherwise
   arises.  The Committee,  in its discretion,  may permit you,  subject to such
   conditions  as the  Committee  shall  require,  to elect to have the  Company
   withhold a number of shares of Company Stock otherwise  deliverable  having a
   Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy the statutory  minimum of all or part
   of your estimated total federal,  state, and local tax obligations associated
   with vesting or settlement of the restricted  stock units.  The Company shall
   not deliver any of the shares of Company Stock until and unless you have made
   the deposit required herein or proper provision for required  withholding has
   been made.

      9.  ADMINISTRATION.  The  Committee  shall have the power to interpret the
   Plan  and  this  Award  and to  adopt  such  rules  for  the  administration,
   interpretation,  and application of the Plan as are consistent  therewith and
   to  interpret  or  revoke  any  such  rules.   All  actions   taken  and  all
   interpretations  and determinations  made by the Committee shall be final and
   binding upon you, the Company, and all other interested persons. No member of
   the Committee shall be personally  liable for any action,  determination,  or
   interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Award.

     10.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          a) This Award is not an employment  contract and nothing in this Award
     shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part
     to  continue  in the employ of the  Company,  or of the Company to continue
     your employment with the Company. In addition,  nothing in this Award shall
     obligate the Company or any Affiliate of the Company,  or their  respective
     stockholders,  Board of  Directors,  officers or  employees to continue any
     relationship  which you might  have as a  Director  or  Consultant  for the
     Company or Affiliate of the Company.

          b) The  Company  shall not be required to deliver any shares of Common
     Stock upon vesting of any Restricted  Stock Units until the requirements of
     any federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations or other laws or
     rules (including the rules of any securities exchange) as may be determined
     by the Company to be applicable are satisfied.  This Award shall be subject
     to all applicable laws,  rules,  and regulations,  and to such approvals by
     any  governmental  agencies  or  national  securities  exchanges  as may be
     required.

          c) The Board of Directors may  terminate,  amend,  or modify the Plan;

     without your written approval.

          d) An original record of this Award and all the terms hereof, executed
     by the Company,  is held on file by the Company. To the extent there is any

     your address then contained in the Company's  employment records or at such
     other address as you hereafter designate by written notice to the Company.

          f) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Award,  with
     respect to the restricted stock units, shall be binding on any successor to
     the Company,  whether the  existence  of such  successor is the result of a
     direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or
     substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

          g) To the extent not  preempted  by federal  law,  this Award shall be
     governed by, and  construed in  accordance  with,  the laws of the State of
