         or other principal national automated quotation system, the Fair
         Market Value per Common Share shall be the average of (i) the
         closing sale price per Common Share on such national stock exchange
         or (ii) the final reported bid side price per Common Share on such
         principal automated quotation system, in each case for the ten most
         recent days on which trades occurred immediately preceding the
         effective date of the termination of Grantee's employment; or

             (ii) if the Common Shares are not listed for trading on any
         national stock exchange or admitted for trading on the Nasdaq
         National Market or other principal national automated quotation

in this Agreement, from and after the Date of Grant, the Grantee shall have all
of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including
the right to vote the Restricted Shares and receive any dividends that may be
paid thereon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any additional Common Shares or other
securities that the Grantee may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock
dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, merger,
consolidation, separation or reorganization or any other change in the capital
structure of the Company shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture and
restrictions on transfer as the forfeitable Restricted Shares in respect of

purposes of this Agreement.

         (b) Cash dividends on the Restricted Shares shall be sequestered by the
Company from and after the Date of Grant until such time as any of such
Restricted Shares become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 4, whereupon
such dividends shall be paid to the Grantee in cash to the extent such dividends
are attributable to Restricted Shares that have become nonforfeitable. To the
extent that Restricted Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 5, all dividends
sequestered with respect to such Restricted Shares shall also be forfeited. No
interest shall be payable with respect to any such dividends.

         8. RETENTION OF STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) BY THE COMPANY. The
certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares shall be held in custody by
the Company, together with a stock power endorsed in blank by the Grantee
with respect thereto, until such shares have become nonforfeitable in
accordance with Section 4.

         9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to
comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company
shall not be obligated to issue or release from restrictions on transfer any
Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement if such issuance or release would
result in a violation of any such law.

         10. WITHHOLDING TAXES. If the Company or any Subsidiary shall be
required to withhold any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection
with any issuance or vesting of Common Shares or other securities pursuant to
this Agreement, and the amounts available to the Company or such Subsidiary
for such withholding are insufficient, the Grantee shall pay the tax or make
provisions that are satisfactory to the Company or such Subsidiary for the
payment thereof. The Grantee may elect to satisfy all or any part of any such
withholding obligation by surrendering to the Company or such Subsidiary a
portion of the Restricted Shares that become nonforfeitable hereunder, and
the Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against any
such withholding obligation at the Market Value per Share of such Common
Shares on the date of such surrender.

         11. NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall confer upon the Grantee any right with respect to continuance of
employment by the Company or a Subsidiary or limit or affect in any manner
the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate the employment or
adjust the compensation of the Grantee.

         12. RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. Any economic or other benefit to the
Grantee under this Agreement or the Plan shall not be taken into account in
determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any
profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained
by the Company or a Subsidiary and shall not affect the amount of any life
insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan
covering employees of the Company or a Subsidiary.

amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable
hereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no amendment shall adversely affect the
rights of the Grantee under this Agreement without the Grantee's consent.

         14. SEVERABILITY. In the event that one or more of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent
jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable
from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall
continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

to the Plan, as constituted from time to time, shall except as otherwise
expressly provided herein have the right to determine any questions that
arise under this Agreement.
