    Grant of Restricted Stock.(a)
    
    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company has issued to the

Restricted Share will remain restricted and subject to forfeiture to the Company unless and
until that Restricted Share has vested in the Employee in accordance with all of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. If a certificate evidencing any Restricted Share is
requested by the Employee, the Company shall retain custody of any such certificate
throughout the period during which any restrictions are in effect and require, as a
condition to issuing any such certificate, that the Employee tender to the Company a stock
power duly executed in blank relating to such custody.2.
    
    Vesting. The Restricted Shares that have not previously been forfeited will vest in
the numbers and on the dates specified in the Vesting Schedule at the beginning of this
Agreement. In addition, the Restricted Shares that have not previously vested or been
forfeited will vest immediately upon the first to occur of the following events: (i) death of
the Employee; (ii) Total Disability of the Employee; and, (iii) a Change of Control as defined
in the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Restricted Shares vesting on each
date specified in the Vesting Schedule at the beginning of this Agreement will be reduced by
fifty percent (50%) in the event that the following performance hurdle is not achieved with
respect to the Companys financial performance for fiscal year 2006: actual earnings before
tax (EBT) equals or exceeds the Companys consolidated EBT as presented in its 2006 annual
budget approved by the Board, as such budget may be amended from
time-to-time by the Board. The Committee shall determine whether the performance hurdle was achieved as promptly as
practicable following review of the Companys fiscal 2006 financial results. In the event
that a reduction of fifty percent (50%) is applied to the Vesting Schedule at the beginning of
this Agreement (a) fifty percent (50%) of the Restricted Shares will be forfeited immediately
upon determination by the Committee that the performance hurdle was not achieved and (b) if
such reduction would cause the number of Restricted Shares subject to vesting on each date
specified in the Vesting Schedule to be a fraction of a share, the number of Restricted Shares
subject to vesting on each of the first two dates specified in the Vesting Schedule shall be
rounded down to the nearest whole-share while the number of Restricted Shares subject to
vesting on each of the last two dates specified in the Vesting Schedule shall be rounded up to
the nearest whole-share.3.
    
    Lapse of Restrictions; Issuance of Unrestricted Shares. Upon the vesting of any
Restricted Shares, such vested Restricted Shares will no longer be subject to forfeiture as
provided in Section 4 of this Agreement. Upon the vesting of any Restricted Shares, all
restrictions on such Restricted Shares will lapse, and the Company will, subject to the
provisions of the Plan, issue to the Employee a certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares
that is free of any transfer or other restrictions arising under this Agreement.4.
    
    Forfeiture. In the event that (i) the Employees employment is terminated for any
reason, whether by the Company, by the Employee or otherwise, voluntarily or involuntarily,
other than in the circumstances described in Section 2 of this Agreement, or (iii) the
Employee attempts to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or
otherwise encumber any of the Restricted Shares or the Restricted Shares become subject to
attachment or any similar involuntary process, then any Restricted Shares that have not
previously vested shall be forfeited by the Employee to the Company, the Employee shall
thereafter have no right, title or interest whatever in such Restricted Shares, and, if the
Company does not have custody of any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares so
forfeited, the Employee shall immediately return to the Company any and all certificates
representing Restricted Shares so forfeited. Additionally, the Employee will deliver to the
Company a stock power duly executed in blank relating to any and all certificates representing
Restricted Shares forfeited to the Company in accordance with the previous sentence or, if
such stock power has previously been tendered to the Company, the Company will be authorized
to deem such previously tendered stock power delivered, and the Company will be authorized to
cancel any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares so forfeited and to cause a
book entry to be made in the records of the

Companys transfer agent in the name of the Employee (or a new stock certificate to be
issued, if requested by the Employee) evidencing any Shares that vested prior to forfeiture.
If the Restricted Shares are evidenced by a book entry made in the records of the Companys
transfer agent, then the Company will be authorized to cause such book entry to be adjusted
to reflect the number of Restricted Shares so forfeited.5.
    
    Shareholder Rights.As of the date of issuance specified at the beginning of this

    The book entry or certificate representing the Restricted Shares may, at the Committees
discretion, contain a notation or bear the following legend (as well as any notations or
legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws) noting the
existence of the restrictions and the Companys rights to reacquire the Restricted Shares
set forth in this Agreement:THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS [BOOK ENTRY] [CERTIFICATE] MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND
THE SHAREHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.(b)
    
    The Employee agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred
to herein, the Company may issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to its transfer
agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make
appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.(c)
    
    The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Restricted Shares
that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of the Restricted Shares or to accord the right to vote
or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom the Restricted Shares shall
have been so transferred.7.
    
    Tax Consequences and Withholdings. The Employee understands that unless a proper and
timely Section 83(b) election has been made as further described below, generally under
Section 83 of the Code, at the time the Restricted Shares vest, the Employee will be obligated
to recognize ordinary income and be taxed in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value as of
the date of vesting for the Restricted Shares then vesting. The Employee shall be solely
responsible for any tax obligations that may arise as a result of the Restricted Shares.8.
    
    Section83(b)Election. The Employee has been informed that, with respect to the
grant of Restricted Shares, an election may be filed by the Employee with the Internal Revenue

issuance. The Employee acknowledges that it is the Employees sole responsibility to timely
file the election under Section 83(b) of the Code.
