EXHIBIT A

to

RESTRICTED SHARES AWARD AGREEMENT




     1. Plan Governs. The Award and this Agreement are subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan. The Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. All
capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meaning set forth in the Plan unless otherwise
defined in this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, you acknowledge receipt of a copy of the
Plan and the prospectus covering the Plan and you acknowledge that the Award is subject to all the
terms and provisions of the Plan. You further agree to accept as binding, conclusive and final all
decisions and interpretations by the Plan Committee with respect to any questions arising under the
Plan.



     2. Payment. The Restricted Shares are awarded to you without requirement of
payment.



     3. Transfer Restrictions. Until the restrictions lapse, the Restricted Shares may
not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by you,
and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance
shall be void and unenforceable; provided that the designation of a beneficiary pursuant to Article
14 of the Plan shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer
or encumbrance. Certificates will be transferred to you only as provided in paragraph 4 of this
Exhibit A.



     4. Certificates. You will receive certificates for the number of your Restricted
Shares with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed. Until the restrictions lapse, your
Restricted Shares either will be evidenced by certificates held by or on behalf of the Company (in
which case you will sign and deliver to the Company a stock power relating to the Restricted Shares
so that the Company may cancel the Restricted Shares in the event of forfeiture), or the Restricted
Shares will be reflected in a book-entry form or other account maintained by the Company, as
determined by the Company.



     5. Rights as Stockholder. During the Period of Restriction you will have all of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares subject to the
provisions of paragraph 3 of this Exhibit A.



     6. Lapse of Restrictions Upon Vesting Date. On each Vesting Date specified on the
Schedule of Vesting Dates the number of Restricted Shares designated to vest on that date will then
vest provided your Termination of Affiliation has not occurred prior to such Vesting Date.
Restricted Shares will no longer be subject to restrictions upon vesting.



     7. Lapse of Restrictions Prior to Vesting Date. Any Restricted Shares that have not
otherwise vested according to the Schedule of Vesting Dates, will no longer be subject to
restrictions upon the first of the following events to occur:



          (a) The last business day of the month in which you have a Termination of Affiliation due to
Retirement (as described below in this paragraph 7); or

          (b) Your Termination of Affiliation by reason of your death; or




          (c) Your Termination of Affiliation by reason of your Disability; or




          (d) A Change of Control.



For purposes of this paragraph 7 (Retirement means Retirement as defined in the Plan (Termination
of Affiliation after having both attained age 55 and completed 10 years of service) and as
specified in Committee rules, regulations or policies (which currently provide an additional
Retirement event of Termination of Affiliation after having attained age 65); provided, however,
you will not have a Termination of Affiliation by reason of your Retirement unless your Termination
of Affiliation occurs on or after the last business day of the month in which you first satisfy the
conditions for Retirement.




     8. Acceleration of Vesting. The Committee may at any time or times in its discretion
accelerate the vesting of some or all of your Restricted Shares by specifying a date, other than
what is provided in this Agreement, on which such Shares will no longer be subject to restrictions.
Any such Shares that are then vested under this paragraph 8 will not be forfeited under paragraph
9 of this Exhibit A.



     9. Forfeiture. If you have a Termination of Affiliation prior to any of the events
specified in paragraph 7 of this Exhibit A, then upon such Termination of Affiliation you will
forfeit any of your Restricted Shares that have not previously vested under this Agreement, and all
of your rights to and interest in such forfeited Restricted Shares will terminate upon forfeiture.
You agree to immediately repay to the Company all dividends, if any, paid in cash or in stock with
respect to your forfeited Restricted Shares.



     10. Tax Withholding. As of any date that a number (which may be all or part) of your
Restricted Shares would no longer be forfeited if you were to have a Termination of Affiliation on
such date, or as of any other date that a required tax withholding liability as described in
Article 17 of the Plan (“Required Withholding”) occurs, you must remit the minimum amount necessary
to satisfy the Required Withholding relating to such number of your Restricted Shares that would
not be so forfeited. The Committee may require you to satisfy the Required Withholding by any (or
a combination) of the following means: (i) a cash payment; (ii) withholding from compensation
otherwise payable to you; (iii) withholding from any of your Restricted Shares that are no longer
subject to forfeiture a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value less than or equal to the
minimum statutory amount of the Required Withholding; or (iv) delivering to the Company Shares
having a Fair Market Value less than or equal to the minimum statutory amount of the Required
Withholding. The Committee may, but is not required to, approve your irrevocable election made
prior to the time the Required Withholding liability occurs to have the Company withhold from your
Restricted Shares that will no longer be subject to forfeiture at the time the Required Withholding
liability occurs, a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value less than or equal to the minimum
statutory amount of the Required Withholding. If at the time the Required Withholding liability
occurs you are entitled to receive certificates for Shares under this Agreement, the Company will
not deliver your certificates unless you remit (or in appropriate cases agree to remit) or
otherwise provide for the Required Withholding relating to your Shares as described above.

time, nor confer upon you the right to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate.

     13. Tax Consultation. Your signature on this Agreement means that you understand
that you may incur tax consequences as of any date that a number (which may be all or part) of your
Restricted Shares would no longer be forfeited if you were to have a Termination of Affiliation on
such date. You agree to consult with any tax consultants you think advisable in connection with
the Restricted Shares and you acknowledge that you are not relying, and will not rely, on the

declared unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which gives effect to the
terms of such part to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.



     16. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
