Agreement removed from the stock certificates representing your shares of
Restricted Stock. 5. Voting Rights and Dividends. You may exercise full voting rights and
shall receive any dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the
shares of Restricted Stock. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in
shares of common stock of the Company, those shares shall be subject to the
same restrictions on transferability as the shares of Restricted Stock under
this Agreement. 6. Forfeiture. Any unvested Restricted Stock granted to you hereunder
shall be forfeited, and such shares of Restricted Stock shall revert to the
Company, without any obligation of the Company to pay you any consideration
therefor, if (i) you violate the terms of this Agreement or (ii) your
employment with the Company terminates during the term of this Agreement (other
than under the conditions set forth in Sections 7 or 14hereof which entitle
you to accelerated vesting). The Company shall initiate a forfeiture of
Restricted Stock pursuant to this Section 6by giving notice to you at any time
within the thirty (30) day period following the date of forfeiture. Upon the
giving of such notice, the Corporate Secretary of the Company shall promptly
cancel the forfeited shares of Restricted Stock and the stock register of the
Company shall be revised accordingly. You are obligated to return to the
Company any certificates representing such forfeited shares, but your failure
to do so shall not affect the forfeiture or cancellation of such shares. You
shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to forfeited
and cancelled shares. 7. Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. If
your employment is terminated due to Death during the Restriction Period, the
restrictions on any shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse at the time of Death
and the Restricted Stock shall be fully vested. In the event your employment
is terminated due to Disability or Retirement (as such terms are defined in the
Plan) during the Restriction Period, unless otherwise determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors (the Compensation
Committee), a pro rata number of the First Shares or the Second Shares which
have not vested, as applicable, shall be fully vested. For purposes hereof,
the pro rata number of First Shares or Second Shares, if any, veting in
accordance with the foregoing shall be determined by the number of days of
continuous employment through that date on which your Disability is finally
determined or through the date of your Retirement. 8. Termination of Employment for Other Reasons. If your employment with
the Company is terminated for any reason other than those reasons set forth in
Sections 7 or 14hereof, including without limitation a termination of your
employment with or without cause, all unvested shares of Restricted Stock held
by you at the time of such employment termination shall be forfeited by you to
the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6hereof. 9. Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Compensation Committee shall always have the power, in its sole
discretion, to accelerate the vesting dates of the Restricted Stock. 10. Nontransferability. Unvested Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to
this Agreement may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated (each, a 2

distribution. If any Transfer, whether voluntary or involuntary, of unvested
Restricted Stock is made, or if any attachment, execution, garnishment, or lien
shall be issued against or placed upon the unvested Restricted Stock, such
unvested Restricted Stock shall be immediately forfeited by you to the Company,
and this Agreement shall be of no further effect. 11. Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to
deduct or withhold, or require you or your estate to remit to the Company, an
amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or
foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any
taxable event arising as a result of this Agreement. 12. Share Withholding. With respect to withholding required upon any
other taxable event arising as a result of Restricted Stock awards granted
hereunder, you may elect, subject to the approval of the Compensation
Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by
having the Company withhold shares having a fair market value on the date the
tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax which could be
withheld on the transaction. All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in
writing, signed by you, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations
that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 13. Administration. This Agreement and your rights hereunder are subject
to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from
time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may
adopt for administration of the Plan. It is expressly understood that the
Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations
