TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.       GRANT OF SHARES. The Grant Date and number of Shares underlying your
         Restricted Stock Award are stated on page 1 of this Award Agreement.
         Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
         meanings assigned to such terms in the 2009 Plan.

2.       RESTRICTIONS. The unvested Shares underlying your Restricted Stock
         Award (the "Restricted Shares") are subject to the following
         restrictions until they expire or terminate.

         (a)    Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, exchanged,
                assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered.

         (b)    If your employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate
                terminates for any reason other than as set forth in paragraph
                (b) of Section 3 hereof, then you will forfeit all of your
                rights, title and interest in and to the Restricted Shares as of
                the date of termination, and the Restricted Shares shall revert
                to the Company under the terms of the 2009 Plan.

         (c)    Restricted Shares are subject to the vesting schedule set forth
                on page 1 of this Award Agreement.

3.       EXPIRATION AND TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS. The restrictions imposed
         under Section 2 will expire on the earliest to occur of the following
         (the period prior to such expiration being referred to herein as the
         "Restricted Period"):

         (a)    If applicable, as to the percentages of the Shares specified in
                the vesting schedule on page 1 of this Award Agreement, on the
                respective dates specified in the vesting schedule on page 1;
                provided you are then still employed by or in the service of the
                Company or an Affiliate; or

         (b)    Upon termination of your employment by reason of death or
                Disability; or

         (c)    Upon a Change in Control (as defined in the 2009 Plan).

4.       DELIVERY OF SHARES. Once the Shares are vested (see vesting schedule on
         page 1), the Shares (and accumulated dividends and earnings (if any),
         unless the Compensation Committee elects to pay out the accumulated
         dividends and earnings prior to vesting), will be distributed in
         accordance with your instructions.


5.       VOTING AND DIVIDEND RIGHTS. As beneficial owner of the Shares, you have
         full voting and dividend rights with respect to the Shares during and
         after the Restricted Period. If you forfeit your rights under this
         Award Agreement in accordance with Section 2, you will no longer have
         any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares and
         you will no longer be entitled to receive dividends on the Shares.

         extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
         consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares),
         your award will be adjusted as necessary to preserve the benefits or
         potential benefits of the award. Without limiting the above, in the
         event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a
         declaration of a dividend payable in Stock, or a combination or
         consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares,
         the Shares subject to this Award Agreement will automatically be
         adjusted proportionately.

7.       NO RIGHT OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Award Agreement will
         interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any
         Affiliate to terminate your employment or service at any time, nor
         confer upon you any right to continue in the employ or service of the
         Company or any Affiliate.

         of the Restricted Stock Award the Committee is entitled to require as a
         condition of delivery: (i) that you remit an amount sufficient to

         the foregoing. Any withholding shall comply with Rule 16b-3 or any
         amendments or successive rules. OUTSIDE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY ARE
         SELF-EMPLOYED AND NOT SUBJECT TO TAX WITHHOLDING.

         the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the
         Plan will control.

         Agreement is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other
         provisions of this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the
         invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included in

         to and including termination of employment. In addition, any

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.       GRANT OF OPTION. The Grant Date, Exercise Price and number of Shares
         subject to your Option are stated on page 1 of this Award Agreement.
         Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
         meanings assigned to such terms in the 2009 Plan.

2.       VESTING OF OPTIONS. The Option shall vest (become exercisable) in
         accordance with the vesting schedule shown on page 1 of this Award
         Agreement. Notwithstanding the vesting schedule on page 1, the Option
         will also vest and become exercisable:

         (a)      Upon your death or Disability during your Continuous Status as
                  a Participant; or

         (b)      Upon a Change in Control (as defined in the 2009 Plan).

3.       TERM OF OPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS ON RIGHT TO EXERCISE. The term of the
         Option will be for a period of ten (10) years, expiring at 5:00 p.m.,
         Eastern Time, on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the
         "Expiration Date"). To the extent not previously exercised, the vested
         portion of your Option will lapse prior to the Expiration Date upon the
         earliest to occur of the following circumstances:

         (a)      Three (3) months after the termination of your Continuous
                  Status as a Participant for any reason other than your death
                  or Disability.

         (b)      Twelve (12) months after termination of your Continuous Status
                  as a Participant by reason of Disability.


         (c)      Twelve (12) months after the date of your death, if you die
                  while employed, or during the three-month period described in
                  subsection (a) above or during the twelve-month period
                  described in subsection (b) above and before the Option would
                  otherwise lapse. Upon your death, your beneficiary (designated
                  pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Plan) may exercise your
                  Option.


         (d)      At the end of the remaining original term of the Option if
                  your employment is involuntarily or constructively terminated
                  within twelve (12) months of a Change in Control.

         The Committee may, prior to the lapse of your Option under the
         circumstances described in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) above,
         extend the time to exercise your Option as determined by the Committee
         in writing and subject to federal regulations. If you return to
         employment with the Company during the designated post-termination
         exercise period, then you will be restored to the status as a
         Participant you held prior to such termination, but no vesting credit
         will be earned for any period you were not in Continuous Status as a
         Participant. If you or your beneficiary exercises an Option after your
         termination of service, the Option may be exercised only with respect
         to the Shares that were otherwise vested on the date of your
         termination of service.

4.       EXERCISE OF OPTION. You may exercise your Option by providing:

         (a)      a written notice of intent to exercise to [NAME] at the
                  address and in the form specified by the Committee from time
                  to time; and

         (b)      payment to the Company in full for the Shares subject to the
                  exercise (unless the exercise is a cashless exercise). Payment
                  for the Shares can be made in cash, Company common stock
                  ("stock swap"), a combination of cash and Company common stock
                  or by means of a cashless exercise (if permitted by the
                  Committee).

5.       BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. You may, in a manner determined by the
         Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise your rights under the
         2009 Plan and to receive any distribution with respect to this Option
         upon your death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative,
         or other person claiming any rights under the 2009 Plan is subject to

                                       2
<PAGE> 10
         all terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the 2009 Plan, and
         to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the
         Committee. If you have not designated a beneficiary or none survives
         you, the Option may be exercised by the legal representative of your
         estate, and payment shall be made to your estate. You may change or
         revoke a beneficiary designation at any time provided the change or
         revocation is filed with the Company.

6.       WITHHOLDING. The Company or any employer Affiliate has the authority
         and the right to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to the
         Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local (if
         any) withholding taxes and employment taxes (I.E., FICA and FUTA).
         OUTSIDE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY ARE SELF-EMPLOYED AND ARE NOT SUBJECT
         TO TAX WITHHOLDING.

7.       LIMITATION OF RIGHTS. This Option does not confer on you or your
         beneficiary designated pursuant to Paragraph 5 any rights as a
         shareholder of the Company unless and until the Shares are in fact
         issued in connection with the exercise of the Option. Nothing in this
         Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of
         the Company or any Affiliate to terminate your employment at any time,
         nor confer upon you any right to continue in the service of the Company
         or any Affiliate.

8.       RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND PLEDGE. You may not pledge, encumber, or
         hypothecate your right or interest in this Option to or in favor of any
         party other than the Company or an Affiliate, and this Option shall not
         be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of the Participant to
         any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. You may not
         assign or transfer this Option other than by will or the laws of
         descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order that
         would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied
         to an Option under the 2009 Plan; provided, however, that the Committee
         may (but need not) permit other requested transfers. Only you or any
         permitted transferee may exercise this Option during your lifetime.

9.       PLAN CONTROLS. The terms contained in the 2009 Plan are incorporated
         into and made a part of this Award Agreement and this Award Agreement
         shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the 2009 Plan. In
         the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of
         the 2009 Plan and the provisions of this Award Agreement, the
         provisions of the 2009 Plan will control.

10.      SUCCESSORS. This Award Agreement shall be binding upon any successor of
         the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement and
         the 2009 Plan.

11.      SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this
         Award Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other
         provisions of this Award Agreement will be construed and enforced as if
         the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included
         in this Award Agreement.

12.      NOTICE. Notices and communications under this Award Agreement must be
         in writing and either personally delivered or sent by registered or
         certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage
         prepaid. Notices to the Company must be addressed to:

         Agreement reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares to
         satisfy the requirements of this Agreement.

         to and including termination of employment. In addition, any

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.       GRANT OF OPTION. The Grant Date, Exercise Price and number of Shares
         subject to your Option are stated on page 1 of this Award Agreement.
         Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
         meanings assigned to such terms in the 2009 Plan. The Company intends
         this grant to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of
         the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

2.       VESTING OF OPTIONS. The Option shall vest (become exercisable) in
         accordance with the vesting schedule shown on page 1 of this Award
         Agreement. Notwithstanding the vesting schedule on page 1, the Option
         will also vest and become exercisable:

         (a)      Upon your death or Disability during your Continuous Status as
                  a Participant; or

         (b)      Upon a Change in Control (as defined in the 2009 Plan).

3.       TERM OF OPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS ON RIGHT TO EXERCISE. The term of the
         Option will be for a period of ten (10) years, expiring at 5:00 p.m.,
         Eastern Time, on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the
         "Expiration Date"). To the extent not previously exercised, the vested
         portion of your Option will lapse prior to the Expiration Date upon the
         earliest to occur of the following circumstances:

         (a)      Three (3) months after the termination of your Continuous
                  Status as a Participant for any reason other than your death
                  or Disability.

         (b)      Twelve (12) months after termination of your Continuous Status
                  as a Participant by reason of Disability.

         (c)      Twelve (12) months after the date of your death, if you die
                  while employed, or during the three-month period described in
                  subsection (a) above or during the twelve-month period
                  described in subsection (b) above and before the Option would
                  otherwise lapse. Upon your death, your beneficiary (designated
                  pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Plan) may exercise your
                  Option.

         (d)      At the end of the remaining original term of the Option, if
                  your employment is involuntarily or constructively terminated
                  within twelve (12) months of a Change in Control. Options
                  exercised more than three (3) months after your termination
                  date will be treated as Non-Statutory Stock Options for tax
                  purposes.

         The Committee may, prior to the lapse of your Option under the
         circumstances described in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) above,
         extend the time to exercise your Option as determined by the Committee
         in writing and subject to federal regulations. If you return to
         employment with the Company during the designated post-termination
         exercise period, then you will be restored to the status as a
         Participant that you held prior to termination, but no vesting credit
         will be earned for any period you were not in Continuous Status as a
         Participant. If you or your beneficiary exercises an Option after your
         termination of service, the Option may be exercised only with respect
         to the Shares that were otherwise vested on the date of your
         termination of service.

4.       EXERCISE OF OPTION. You may exercise your Option by providing:

         (a)    a written notice of intent to exercise to [NAME] at the address
                and in the form specified by the Committee from time to time;
                and

         (b)    payment to the Company in full for the Shares subject to the
                exercise (unless the exercise is a cashless exercise). Payment
                for such Shares can be made in cash, Company common stock
                ("stock swap"), a combination of cash and Company common stock
                or by means of "cashless exercise" (if permitted by the

         Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise your rights under the
         2009 Plan and to receive any distribution with respect to this Option
         upon your death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative,
         or other person claiming any rights under the 2009 Plan is subject to
         all terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the 2009 Plan, and
         to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the
         Committee. If you have not designated a beneficiary or none survives

                                            purposes and may subject you to AMT
