      10.   CHANGE IN CONTROL: Pursuant to Article 16.1(c) of the Plan, upon a
            Change in Control after <<>>, the target payout opportunity under
            this Award shall be deemed to have been fully earned for the entire
            Performance Period as of the effective date of the Change in
            Control. Vesting shall be accelerated as of the effective date of
            the Change in Control, and there shall be paid to you within thirty
            (30) days following the effective date of the Change in Control a
            pro rata number of Shares based upon an assumed achievement of all
            relevant targeted performance goals and upon the length of time
            within the Performance Period which has elapsed prior to the Change
            in Control.

      11.   TRANSFER: Performance Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged,

            will not be entitled to receive any dividends declared with respect
            to your Performance Shares. After the Performance Period, you will
            obtain voting rights and be entitled to receive any dividends
            declared with respect to your vested Performance Shares.

      13.   TAXES: The Company has the right to withhold Shares or cash that
            would otherwise be received by you for the statutory minimum

            due. The Company may

                                                                      __________

            also collect withholding tax directly from you. You may also elect
            to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by

            total tax which could be imposed on the transaction.

            will be binding upon the Participant.

            applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any

            declared with respect to your vested Shares.

            determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax which could be
            imposed on the transaction.

      14.   ADMINISTRATION: This Award Agreement and the rights of the
            Participant hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of
            the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as

      17.   AMENDMENT: This Award Agreement may be amended or modified by the
            Committee as long as the amendment or modification does not
            materially adversely affect your Award, provided, however, that the
            Company may amend this Award Agreement in any manner reasonably

(a)   that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or
      terminated at any time;

      but not limited to, the times when the Performance Units will be granted,

      Share will vest, will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors;

(d)   that your participation in the Plan does not create a right to further
      employment with your employer and will not interfere with the ability of
      your employer to terminate your employment relationship at any time with
      or without cause;

(e)   that your participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(f)   that the value of the Performance Units is an extraordinary item of
      compensation which is outside the scope of your employment contract, if
      any;

      compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation,
      redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension
      or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(h)   that the right to the grant ceases upon termination of employment for any
      reason except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan or this
      Award Agreement; and

      predicted with certainty.
