provided, however, the First Measurement Date shall not occur later than May 21, 2015;




          (ii) 25% of the Restricted Shares on the day (the “Second Measurement Date”) on which the

however, the Second Measurement Date shall not occur later than May 21, 2016;




 









 








          (iii) 25% of the Restricted Shares on the day (the “Third Measurement Date”) on which the
Total Return to the Company’s shareholders for the period
beginning May 21, 2009 through the
Third Measurement Date shall equal at least 65% for ten (10) consecutive Business Days; provided,
however, the Third Measurement Date shall not occur later than May 21, 2018; and




          (iv) 25% of the Restricted Shares on the day (the “Fourth Measurement Date”) on which the

Fourth Measurement Date shall equal at least 80% for ten (10) consecutive Business Days; provided,
however, the Fourth Measurement Date shall not occur later than May 21, 2019.




          In the event the First Measurement Date does not occur on or before May 21, 2015, Recipient

Restricted Shares on that date.




          For purposes of this Agreement, Sections 2(i), 2(ii), 2(iii) and 2(iv) shall be referred to
collectively as the “Restricted Period” and “Total Return” shall mean, for the applicable period,
the cumulative total return for the Restricted Shares over such period, as measured by (i) the sum
of (a) the cumulative amount of dividends paid in respect of the Restricted Shares for such period
(assuming that all cash dividends are reinvested in Common Stock as of the payment date for such
dividend, based on the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the dividend payment date), and
(b) an amount equal to (x) the closing price of a share of Common Stock at the end of such period,
minus (y) the closing price of a share of Common Stock on
May 21, 2009 ($10.40), divided by (ii)
the closing price of a share of Common Stock on May 21, 2009
($10.40).




          3. Change of Control. The provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control
shall apply to the Restricted Stock, and in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may
take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if a Change of Control occurs, all of the Restricted Stock shall become immediately
unrestricted and freely transferable by the Recipient on the date of the Change of Control.




          4. Rights of Stockholder. From and after the Date of Grant and for so long as the
Restricted Stock is held by or for the benefit of the Recipient, the Recipient shall have all the
rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock, including but not
limited to the right to receive dividends and the right to vote such Restricted Stock. Dividends
paid on Restricted Stock shall be paid at the dividend payment date for the Common Stock in cash or
shares of Common Stock. Stock distributed in connection with a Common Stock split or
Common Stock dividend shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent
as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Common Stock has been distributed.




 









 








          5. Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided in the Recipient’s
Employment Agreement with the Company, in the event that Recipient ceases to be employed by the
Company for any reason prior to the lapse of the Restricted Period, then the Restricted Stock and
any accrued but unpaid dividends that are at that time subject to restrictions set forth herein
shall be forfeited to the Company without payment of any consideration by the Company, and neither
the Recipient or any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives shall
thereafter have any further rights or interests in such shares of Restricted Stock or certificates.
