AMENDED AND RESTATED

CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC.

2006 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT

     This
Restricted Share Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), made as of the ___ day of
                    , 2008 (the “Grant Date”) by and between Cinemark Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), and                                          (the “Grantee”), evidences the grant by the Company of a
Stock Award (the “Award”) of restricted Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”) to the Grantee on such date and the Grantee’s acceptance of the Award in accordance with
the provisions of the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”), a copy of which is available from the Company. Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the benefits to be derived from the
mutual observance of the covenants and promises contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

     1. Basis for Award. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan for valid consideration to be
provided to the Company by the Grantee as an Employee, Director or Consultant of the Company and
the Administrator has determined that such consideration is adequate and at least equal to the par
value of the Common Stock subject to the Award. By your execution of this Agreement, you agree to
accept the Restricted Share Award rights granted pursuant to this Restricted Share Award Agreement
and to receive the Restricted Shares of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (the “Restricted Shares”)
designated herein subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

     2. Restricted
Share Award. The Company hereby awards to Grantee,                      shares of Common
Stock of the Company (the “Restricted Share Award”) which shall be subject to the restrictions and
conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement. One or more stock certificates
representing the number of Restricted Shares specified herein shall hereby be registered in the
Grantee’s name (the “Stock Certificate”), but shall be deposited and held in escrow for the
Grantee’s account as provided in Section 11(c) hereof until such Restricted Shares become vested.
Grantee acknowledges and agrees that Restricted Shares may be issued as a book entry with the
Company’s transfer agent and that no physical Stock Certificates need be issued for so long as the
shares remain unvested shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Grantee shall have all the
rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares while they are held in the custody of
the Company for Grantee’s account, including the right to vote the Restricted Shares and to receive
any dividends thereon.

     3. Vesting.

          (a) Unless previously vested or forfeited in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
the Restricted Shares shall vest and restrictions on transfer shall lapse as follows: 50% of the
Restricted Shares shall vest on the second anniversary of the Grant Date,

 

 

and 50% of the Restricted Shares shall vest on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date (each
such date, a “Vesting Date”); provided, however, Grantee provides continuous Service through each
such Vesting Date and otherwise satisfies the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) Any Restricted Shares not previously vested or forfeited shall vest upon the Sale of the
Company, provided Grantee provides continuous Service through such Vesting Date and otherwise
satisfies the terms of this Agreement.

          (c) In the event Grantee’s Service is terminated for any reason, including as a result of
Grantee’s death, disability or retirement, no unvested shares of Common Stock shall become vested
after such termination of Grantee’s Service.

     4. Dividends on Restricted Shares. Any dividends paid on unvested shares of Common Stock
shall be treated as wages and shall be subject to tax-withholding in accordance with Section 6.

     5. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of Common Stock shall be
subject to compliance by the Company and Grantee with all applicable requirements of federal and
state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the
Company’s Common Stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer.

     6. Tax Considerations.

          (a) Tax Withholding. Grantee agrees that, as a condition to the release of shares of
Common Stock from escrow and lapse of restrictions on transfer, no later than the first to occur of
(i) the date as of which the restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall lapse with respect to all
or any of the Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement, or (ii) the date required by Section
6(b) below, Grantee shall pay to the Company (in cash or to the extent permitted by the
Administrator, by tendering shares of Common Stock held by Grantee, including shares of Restricted
Shares held in escrow that become vested (“Share Withholding”), with a Fair Market Value on the
date the Restricted Shares vest equal to the amount of Grantee’s minimum statutory tax withholding
liability, or to the extent permitted by the Administrator, a combination thereof) any federal,
state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld, if any, with respect to the
Restricted Shares for which the restrictions shall lapse. The Company shall, to the extent
permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Grantee
any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the
shares of such Common Stock. Payment of the tax withholding by a Grantee who is an officer,
director or other “insider” subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), by tendering shares of Common Stock or in the form of Share
Withholding is subject to pre-approval by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, in a manner
that complies with the specificity requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, including the
name of the Grantee involved in the transaction, the nature of the transaction, the number of
shares to be acquired or disposed of by the Grantee and the material terms of the Awards involved
in the transaction.

- 2 -

 

          (b) Grantee may elect, within 30 days of the Grant Date, to include in gross income for
federal income tax purposes an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares less
the amount, if any, paid by the Grantee for the Restricted Shares granted hereunder pursuant to
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Grantee shall be solely
responsible for properly filing any such election with the Internal Revenue Service. In connection
with any such Section 83(b) election, Grantee shall pay to the Company, or make such other
arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator to pay to the Company based on the Fair Market Value
of the Restricted Shares on the Grant Date, any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be
withheld with respect to such Restricted Shares at the time of such election. If Grantee fails to
make such payments, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct
from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Grantee any federal, state or local taxes required by
law to be withheld with respect to such Restricted Shares.

     7. No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on
Grantee any right to continue to serve as an Employee, Director or Consultant of the Company or any
Affiliate, or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate Grantee’s
Service to the Company or any Affiliate, with or without Cause.

     8. Representations and Warranties of Grantee. Grantee represents and warrants to the Company
that:

          (a) Agrees to Terms of the Plan. Grantee has received a copy of the Plan and has read
and understands the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and agrees to be bound by their terms and
conditions. Grantee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the vesting of
Restricted Shares or disposition of the shares of Common Stock once vested, and that Grantee should
consult a tax advisor prior to such time.

          (b) Stock Ownership. Grantee is the record and beneficial owner of the Restricted
Shares with full right and power to transfer the unvested shares of Common Stock to the Company
free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances and Grantee understands that the stock
certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares will bear a legend referencing this Agreement.

          (c) SEC Rule 144. Grantee understands that Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act may indefinitely restrict transfer of the Common Stock so long as Grantee remains an
“affiliate” of the Company or if “current public information” about the Company (as defined in Rule
144) is not publicly available.

     9. Compliance with U.S. Federal Securities Laws. Grantee understands and acknowledges that
notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, the vesting and holding of
the Common Stock is expressly conditioned upon compliance with the Securities Act and all
applicable federal and state securities laws. Grantee agrees to cooperate with the Company to
ensure compliance with such laws.

- 3 -

 

     10. Restrictions on Transfer Prior to Vesting. Until the Restricted Shares became vested, the
unvested Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, conveyed, hypothecated,
or otherwise disposed of.

     11. Option to Repurchase Unvested Stock. Grantee grants to the Company an irrevocable right
and option (the “Option”) to purchase from Grantee shares of unvested Common Stock standing in the
name of Grantee on the books of the Company (the “Option Shares”) in accordance with this
Agreement.

          (a) Option Exercise Price. The exercise price for the Option Shares (the “Option
Exercise Price”) shall be $0.001 per share.

          (b) Repurchase of Option Shares. Option Shares may be repurchased by the Company at a
price of $0.001 per share and shall be transferred to the Company automatically without further
action by Grantee if repurchased by the Company. The Company may exercise the right to repurchase
the Option Shares at any time within one hundred twenty (120) days after termination for any reason
of Grantee’s Service. The repurchase price may be paid to Grantee by personal delivery or by
Company check mailed to Grantee’s last known address on the Company’s records. Grantee
acknowledges the Option Shares shall be held by Grantee subject to the applicable vesting
requirements set forth in this Agreement and Grantee shall have no right to retain any Option
Shares that the Company repurchases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company
may elect to assign its right to repurchase the Option Shares to any designee of the Company.

          (c) Deposit of the Option Shares. Grantee agrees that the Company shall deposit all
of the Option Shares in escrow to hold until the Option Shares become vested and are no longer
Restricted Shares, at which time such vested shares shall no longer constitute Option Shares. The
Company will deliver to Grantee the shares of Common Stock, subject to satisfaction of applicable
tax withholding in accordance with Section 6. Grantee shall execute and deliver to the Company,
concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, blank stock powers for use in connection with
the transfer to the Company or its designee of Option Shares that do not become vested.

          (d) Adjustments. The number of Option Shares and the Option Exercise Price per Option
Share shall be automatically adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination or exchanges of shares or other similar event
affecting the Company’s outstanding Common Stock subsequent to the date of this Agreement. If
Grantee becomes entitled to receive any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities
(“Additional Securities”) in respect of the Option Shares prior to the exercise of the Option, the
total number of Option Shares shall be equal to the sum of (i) the initial Option Shares; and, (ii)
the number of Additional Securities issued or issuable in respect of the initial Option Shares and
any Additional Securities previously issued to Grantee. The Option Exercise Price per Option Share
shall be equal to the applicable Option Exercise Price per Option Share set forth in Section 11(a)
(as adjusted pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 11(d)) divided by the sum of (a) the
number of Additional Securities issued or issuable in respect of each Option Share and any
Additional Securities previously issued to Grantee plus (b) the initial Option Share.

- 4 -

 

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11, if the consideration for the
Award is comprised solely of the Grantee’s prior or future services, the unvested Option Shares
will be forfeited without regard to any Option Exercise Price payment.

     12. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

          (a) Legends. To the extent that Stock Certificate(s) representing unvested shares of
Common Stock are issued in physical form rather than through book entry with the Company’s transfer
agent, Grantee understands and agrees that the Company will place the legends set forth below or
similar legends on such Stock Certificate(s), together with any other legends that may be required
by state or U.S. Federal securities laws, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, any
other agreement between Grantee and the Company or any agreement between Grantee and any third
party:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC RESALE AND TRANSFER, AS SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED
SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE
SHARES. SUCH PUBLIC SALE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON
TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

The above legend shall be removed at such time as the shares of Common Stock in question are no
longer subject to restrictions on public resale and transfer pursuant to this Agreement. Any
legends required by applicable state or U.S. Federal securities laws shall be removed at such time
as such legends are no longer required.

          (b) Stop-Transfer Instructions. Grantee agrees that, to ensure compliance with the
restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate “stop-transfer”
instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company transfers its own securities, it may
make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

          (c) Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its
books any shares of Common Stock that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any
of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares, or to accord the
right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares have been
so transferred.

     13. Modification. The Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by
both parties.

     14. Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, or unless the context clearly indicates
otherwise, capitalized terms herein which are defined in the Plan have the same definitions as
provided in the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference,
and the Grantee hereby acknowledges receiving a copy of the Plan. In the event of a conflict or
inconsistency between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement,
the Plan shall govern and control.

- 5 -

 

     15. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be
submitted by Grantee or the Company to the Administrator for review. The resolution of such a
dispute by the Administrator shall be final and binding on the Company and Grantee.

     16. Entire Agreement. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement and the
Plan constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supercede all prior undertakings and
agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any inconsistency should exist between
the nondiscretionary terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern and
control.

     17. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of
this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at its
principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Grantee shall be in
writing and addressed to Grantee at the address indicated on the signature page hereof or to such
other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the Company. All notices
shall be deemed to have been given or delivered upon: (a) personal delivery; (b) three (3) days
after deposit in the United States mail by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested);
(c) one (1) business day after deposit with any return receipt express courier (prepaid); or (d)
one (1) business day after transmission by facsimile or telecopier.

     18. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the
Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement shall be binding
upon Grantee and Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and
assigns.

     19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its conflict of law principles. If any
provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then
such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain
fully effective and enforceable.

     20. Acceptance. Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement.
Grantee has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts the Award subject
to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Grantee acknowledges that there
may be adverse tax consequences upon exercise of the Award or disposition of the Shares and that
Grantee should consult a tax advisor prior to such exercise or disposition.

Domestic  Employees

Dionex Corporation 

2004 Equity Incentive Plan

Stock Unit Award Agreement

     Pursuant to the Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Stock Unit Award Agreement
(“Agreement”), Dionex Corporation (the “Company”) has awarded you a Stock Unit Award pursuant to
Section 8(c) of the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of Stock Units
as indicated in the Grant Notice (collectively, the “Award”). Defined terms not explicitly defined
in this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. Except
as expressly provided herein, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and
the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. The details of this Award, in addition to those set
forth in the Grant Notice, are as follows.

     1. Grant of Award. This Award represents the right to be issued on a future
date the number of shares of Common Stock as indicated in the Grant Notice. As of the Date of
Grant, the Company will credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company for your benefit
(the “Account”) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Award. This Award was granted
in consideration of your services to the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, you will
not be required to make any payment to the Company (other than services to the Company) with
respect to your receipt of this Award, the vesting of the Stock Units, or the delivery of the
underlying Common Stock.

     2. Vesting. The Stock Units shall vest, if at all, as provided in the
Vesting Schedule set forth in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting shall cease upon the
termination of your Continuous Service. Upon such termination of your Continuous Service, the
shares credited to the Account that were not vested on the date of such termination will be
forfeited to the Company and you will have no further right, title or interest in or to such
underlying shares of Common Stock.

     3. Number of Stock Units and Shares of Common Stock.

          (a) The number of Stock Units subject to this Award and the number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable with respect to such Stock Units may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization
Adjustments as described in Section 12(a) of the Plan. You shall receive no benefit or adjustment
to this Award with respect to any cash dividend or other distribution that does not result from a
Capitalization Adjustment as described in Section 12(a) of the Plan; provided, however, that this
sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in
connection with this Award after such shares have been delivered to you.

          (b) Any additional Stock Units, shares of Common Stock, cash or other property that becomes
subject to this Award pursuant to this Section 3 shall be subject, in a manner determined by the
Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of
delivery as applicable to the other Stock Units and Common Stock covered by this Award.

 

 

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no fractional Stock Units or rights for
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 3. The Board shall, in
its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit for any fractional Stock Units or fractional shares
that might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 3.

     4. Delivery of Shares of Common Stock.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, in the event one or more Stock Units vest,
the Company shall deliver to you one share of Common Stock for each Stock Unit that vests on the
date that is the earlier of: (i) the fifth anniversary of the Date of Grant, and (ii) your
Separation From Service. However, if a scheduled delivery date falls on a date that is not a
business day, such delivery date shall instead fall on the next following business day.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) Stock Units are scheduled to be delivered to you due
to your Separation From Service, and (ii) you are a “specified employee” of the Company or any
affiliate thereof (or any successor entity thereto) within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Code on the date of your Separation From Service, then the delivery of any shares covered by
this Award shall instead occur on the earlier of: (x) the date that is six months after the date of
your Separation From Service, or (y) the date of your death.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that you are subject to the Company’s Insider
Trading and “Window Period” Policy (or any successor policy) and any shares covered by this Award
are scheduled to be delivered on a day (the “Original Delivery Date”) that does not fall during a
“window period” applicable to you, as determined by the Company in accordance with such policy,
then such shares shall not be delivered on such Original Delivery Date and shall instead be
delivered on the first business day of the next occurring “window period” applicable to you but in
no event later than 60 days following the Original Delivery Date.

          (d) The form of such delivery (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such
shares) shall be determined by the Company.

          (e) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring
corporation may assume or continue this Award or may substitute a similar stock award for this
Award (including but not limited to, an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the
stockholders of the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to the Corporate Transaction). A
surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may not assume or continue only a portion of this
Award or substitute a similar stock award for only a portion of this Award. The terms of any
assumption, continuation or substitution shall be set by the Board. In the event of a Corporate
Transaction that also qualifies as a Change in Control Transaction and any surviving corporation or
acquiring corporation does not assume or continue this Award or substitute a similar stock award
for this Award in such Change in Control Transaction, then if your Continuous Service has not
terminated prior to the effective time of such Change in Control Transaction, the vesting of this
Award shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of such Change in Control Transaction) be
accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of such Change in Control Transaction as
the Board shall determine (or, if the Board shall not determine such a date, to the date that is
five days prior to the effective time of such Change in Control

2.

 

Transaction), and the shares subject to the Stock Units shall be delivered to you no later
than 60 days following the date of the consummation of such Change in Control Transaction. In the
event of a Corporate Transaction that also qualifies as a Change in Control Transaction and any
surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not assume or continue this Award or substitute
a similar stock award for this Award in such Change in Control Transaction, then if your Continuous
Service has terminated prior to the effective time of such Change in Control Transaction, the
vesting of this Award shall not be accelerated, and this Award shall terminate at or prior to such
effective time. The foregoing provision shall supersede Section 12(c) of the Plan regarding this
Award.

     5. Securities Law Compliance. You may not be issued any Common Stock under
this Award unless either (i) the shares of Common Stock are then registered under the Securities
Act, or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. This Award must also comply with other applicable laws and
regulations governing this Award, and you shall not receive such Common Stock if the Company
determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

     6. Restrictive Legends. The Common Stock issued under this Award shall be
endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.

     7. Transfer Restrictions. This Award is not transferable, except by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created
by applicable securities laws, you agree not to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise
dispose of any interest in any of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award until the shares
are issued to you in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. After the shares have been
issued to you, you are free to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any
interest in such shares provided that any such actions are in compliance with the provisions herein
and applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the
Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event
of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to receive any distribution of Common Stock to which
you were entitled at the time of your death pursuant to this Agreement.

     8. Award not a Service Contract. This Award is not an employment or service
contract, and nothing in this Award shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation
on your part to continue in the service of the Company or any Affiliate, or on the part of the
Company or any Affiliate to continue such service. In addition, nothing in this Award shall
obligate the Company or any Affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors or
employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an Employee or Consultant of the
Company or any Affiliate.

     9. Unsecured Obligation. This Award is unfunded, and even as to any Stock
Units which vest, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the
Company’s obligation, if any, to issue Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have
voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common Stock
acquired pursuant to this Agreement until such Common Stock is issued to you pursuant to Section 4
of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as

3.

 

a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common Stock so issued. Nothing contained in
this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to
create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other
person.

     10. Withholding Obligations.

          (a) On or before the time you vest in your Stock Units or receive a distribution of Common
Stock pursuant to this Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby
authorize any required withholding from the Common Stock issuable to you and otherwise agree to
make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and
foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate which arise in connection with
this Award (the “Withholding Taxes”). Additionally, the Company may, in its sole discretion,
satisfy all or any portion of the Withholding Taxes obligation relating to this Award by any of the
following means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding from any compensation otherwise
payable to you by the Company; (ii) causing you to tender a cash payment; or (iii) withholding
shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in
connection with this Award with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common Stock
are issued to pursuant to Section 4) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided,
however, that the number of such shares of Common Stock so withheld shall not exceed the amount
necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory
withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that
are applicable to supplemental taxable income.

          (b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied,
the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock.

          (c) In the event the Company’s obligation to withhold arises prior to the delivery to you of
Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you that the amount of the
Company’s withholding obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to
indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper
amount.

     11. Notices. Any notices required to be given or delivered to the Company
under the terms of this Award shall be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal
corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to you shall be in writing and
