| 1. | Conversion of Certain      Performance Shares.  The Company hereby converts _______      of the Performance Shares granted in the Original Agreement into _______      Shares of Restricted Stock.  All such Shares of Restricted Stock      shall be subject to those restrictions on transferability and risk of      forfeiture as set forth in Section 7.C of the Company’s Amended Long-Term      Incentive Plan, as amended as of May 1, 2007, and will be held in book      entry until May 5, 2010.  On May 5, 2010, provided Grantee      is, and at all times since the date of this Amendment has been, employed      by the Company, all such restrictions on the Shares of Restricted Stock      will expire.  During the period of time such Shares of      Restricted Stock are restricted, Grantee shall have all rights of a      shareholder with respect to such Shares with the exception of the receipt      of dividends which shall be paid and reinvested under the Company's      Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan.  All such      reinvested dividends shall be subject to the same restrictions as the      Restricted Stock and, provided Grantee is, and at all times since the date      of this Amendment has been, employed by the Company on May 5, 2010, shall      be paid such reinvested dividends within 90 days of the Restricted Stock      vesting.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the      Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to and governed by the      applicable terms and conditions of the Company’s Amended Long-Term      Incentive Plan, as amended as of May 1, 2007, which are incorporated      herein by reference. |

| 2. | Amendment of Certain      Performance Shares.  In addition to the Performance      Shares being converted into Restricted Stock in accordance with Section 1      of this Amendment, the Company hereby also amends the terms and conditions      pursuant to which another _______ of the Performance Shares granted in the      Original Agreement may be earned by, solely with respect to such _______      Performance Shares (i) amending the Award Period defined in Section 1 of      the Original Agreement to be the one-year period ending December 31, 2009      and (ii) replacing the |

| 3. | Cancellation of Certain      Performance Shares.  The balance of _______ Performance      Shares granted in the Original Agreement, such number representing the      Performance Shares not converted into Restricted Stock or amended as set      forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Amendment, respectively, are hereby      cancelled and all of the Grantee's rights with respect to such cancelled      Performance Shares under the Plan and Original Agreement shall be null and      void. |

| 4. | Dividend      Equivalents.  All hypothetical cash credits equal to the      per share dividends paid on the Company's common stock during the      three-year Award Period set forth in the Original Agreement and relating      to the Performance Shares which are neither converted nor cancelled in      connection with this Amendment shall continue to be paid out in accordance      with the Original Agreement.

| 5. | Withholding      Taxes.  No Company common stock will be delivered under      this Award until the Grantee (or the Grantee’s successor) has paid to the      Company the amount that must be withheld under federal, state and local      income and employment tax laws or the Grantee and the Company have made      satisfactory provision for the payment of such taxes. As an alternative to      making a cash payment to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, the      Grantee may elect to have the Company retain that number of shares (valued      at their Fair Market Value as of the applicable vesting or delivery date)      that would satisfy the applicable withholding taxes.  To the      extent the Grantee elects to have shares withheld to cover the applicable      minimum withholding requirements, the Grantee must complete a withholding      election on the form provided by the Corporate Secretary of the Company      and return it to the designated person set forth on the form no later than      the date specified thereon (which shall in no event be more than ten days      from the grant date of the Award).  The Grantee may elect on      such form to deliver additional shares for withholding above the minimum      required withholding rate, but not to exceed Grantee's individual marginal      tax rate.  To the extent no withholding election is made before      the date specified, the Grantee is required to pay the Company the amount      of federal, state and local income and employment tax withholdings by cash      or check at the time the Grantee recognizes income with respect to such      shares, or must make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company to      satisfy the tax withholding obligations after which the Company will      release or deliver, as applicable, to the Grantee the full number of      shares. |

| 6. | Reimbursement      Obligation.  The Company will, to the full extent      permitted by law, have the discretion based on the particular facts and      circumstances to require that each participant reimburse the Company for      all or any portion of any awards if and to the extent the awards reflected      the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of      a restatement, or the achievement of other objectives that were      subsequently found to be inaccurately measured , and a lower award would      have occurred based upon the restated financial results or inaccurately      measured objectives.  The Company may, in its discretion, (i)      seek repayment from the participants; (ii) reduce the amount that would      otherwise be payable to the participants under current or future awards;      (iii) withhold future equity grants or salary increases; (iv) pursue other      available legal remedies; or (v) any combination of these actions. The      Company may take such actions against any participant, whether or not such      participant engaged in any misconduct or was otherwise at fault with      respect to such restatement or inaccurate measurement. The Company will,      however, not seek reimbursement with respect to any awards paid more than      three years prior to such restatement or the discovery of inaccurate      measurements, as applicable. |
