forth on the cover sheet, subject to
the vesting conditions described

	Delivery of Stock

	 	A certificate for the Shares
represented by the Deferred Shares
Agreement shall be delivered to you,

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue

delivery of the shares shall not be
made earlier than six months after

otherwise be delivered to you during
a period in which you are: (i)
subject to a lock-up agreement
restricting your ability to sell
Shares in the open market or (ii)
restricted from selling Shares in
the open market because you are not
then eligible to sell under the
Company’s insider trading or similar
plan as then in effect (whether
because a trading window is not open
or you are otherwise restricted from
trading), delivery of such Shares
will not occur until the first date
on which you are no longer
prohibited from selling Shares due
to a lock-up agreement or insider
trading or similar plan restriction.
	 
	 	 
	Withholding Taxes

	 	You agree, as a condition of this
grant, that you will make acceptable
arrangements to pay any withholding

or withholding payment is required
relating to this grant, the Company
will have the right to: (i) require
that you arrange such payments to
the Company, (ii) withhold such
amounts from other payments due to

election pursuant to Section 83(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and any attempt to
make such an election will result in

Shares dividend or a similar change
in the Company Shares, the number of

DEFERRED SHARE AGREEMENT

	 	 	 
	Deferred Shares Transferability

	 	This grant is an award of deferred
shares for the number of shares set
forth on the cover sheet, subject to
the vesting conditions described
below (“Deferred Shares”). Your
Deferred Shares may not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or
hypothecated, whether by operation
of law or otherwise, nor may the
Deferred Shares be made subject to
execution, attachment or similar
process.
	 
	 	 
	Vesting

	 	Your right to the Deferred Shares
under this Deferred Share Agreement
vests as to ten percent (10%) of the
total number of Deferred Shares
covered by this grant, as shown on
the cover sheet, on December 22,
2006, provided you then continue in
Service. Thereafter, for each of
the next four (4) December 22
vesting dates that you remain in
Service, the number of Deferred
Shares vests at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per year, provided you
then continue in Service.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Your right to the Deferred Shares
under this Deferred Share Agreement
vests as to ten percent (10%) of the
total number of Deferred Shares
covered by this grant, as shown on
the cover sheet, on each December 22
commencing with December 22, 2006,
and ending with December 22, 2010
provided (i) you then continue in
Service and (ii) the average annual
total shareholder return
(appreciation in share price and
dividends) (“TSR”) for the Company
equals or exceeds ten percent
commencing on December 22, 2005.
Any Shares which do not vest on a
previous December 22 will vest on a
subsequent December 22 if the
average annual TSR from December 22,
2005 through such subsequent
December 22 equals or exceeds ten
percent (10%). In order to help
mitigate the impact of sudden market
swings, the measurement of the
Company’s TSR shall be based on the
average share price of the Company’s
Shares for the 5 day period prior to
December 22, 2005 and each December
22 thereafter during the vesting
period. Any Deferred Shares not
vested due to failure to meet the
annual or cumulative TSR goal as of
December 22, 2010 will be forfeited.
