The Company shall cause electronic book entries evidencing the Restricted Shares, and any shares of the Stock or rights to acquire shares of the Stock distributed by the Company in respect of Restricted Shares during any Period of Restriction (the “Retained Stock Distributions”), to be issued in Executive’s name.

During the Period of Restriction any regular dividends paid in cash or property (other than Retained Stock Distributions) with respect to the Restricted Shares and Retained Stock Distributions (the “Retained Cash Distributions”) shall not be paid to 

2

Executive but instead shall be accumulated by the Company until the date the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares and Retained Stock Distributions with respect to which such Retained Cash Distributions shall have been made, paid, or declared shall have become vested and then on that date such Retained Cash Distributions shall be paid to Executive.  Executive shall have the right to vote the Restricted Shares awarded to Executive and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of the Shares, with respect to such Restricted Shares, with the exception that (a) Executive shall not be entitled to delivery of such Restricted Shares until the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable thereto shall have expired, (b) the Company shall retain custody of all Retained Stock Distributions made or declared with respect to the Restricted Shares and Retained Cash Distributions made or declared with respect to the Restricted Shares and the Retained Stock Distributions (and such Retained Stock Distributions and Retained Cash Distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Retained Stock Distributions and Restricted Cash Distributions shall have been made, paid, or declared shall have become vested, and such Retained Stock Distributions and Retained Cash Distributions shall not bear interest or be segregated in separate accounts and (c) Executive may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber, or dispose of the Restricted Shares or any Retained Stock Distributions or any Restricted Cash Distributions during the Period of Restriction.  Upon issuance the book entry representing the Restricted Shares shall be delivered to such depository as may be designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) as a depository for safekeeping until the forfeiture of such Restricted Shares occurs or the Forfeiture Restrictions lapse, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Shares and any securities constituting Retained Stock Distributions which shall be forfeited in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement.  In accepting the award of the Shares set forth in this Agreement Executive accepts and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.
		
	3.
	Transfer Restrictions.  The Shares granted hereby may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of, to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions.  Any such attempted sale, assignment, pledge, exchange, hypothecation, transfer, encumbrance or disposition in violation of this Agreement shall be void and the Company shall not be bound thereby.  Further, the Shares granted hereby that are no longer subject to Forfeiture Restrictions may not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws.  Executive also agrees that the Company may (a) refuse to cause the transfer of the Shares to be registered on the applicable stock transfer records of the Company if such proposed transfer would, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of any applicable securities law and (b) give related instructions to the transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Shares.  The Shares are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under a 

3

Registration Statement on Form S-8.  A Prospectus describing the Plan and the Shares is available from the Company.
		
	4.
	Vesting.

		
	(a)
	The Shares that are granted hereby shall be subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions.  The Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to the Shares that are granted hereby in accordance with the following schedule, provided that Executive’s employment with the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries has not terminated prior to the applicable lapse date except as provided in Section 4(b) below.  On the second anniversary of the Vesting Start Date (as set forth in the Cover Sheet) (“lapse date”), the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the total number of Shares granted hereby.

		
	(b)
	If the Executive’s employment terminates as a result of the Executive’s involuntary termination not-for-Cause or Good Reason, a number of Shares that are unvested as of the date of such termination will immediately vest in an amount equal to (i) the product obtained by multiplying (A) the total number of Shares granted under this Agreement by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date of such termination of Employment, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, minus (ii) the number of Shares that had vested pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 4 (a) above as of the date of termination.  Any unvested Shares that do not vest after application of the preceding sentence shall be forfeited to the Company upon the effective date of such termination without any payment or consideration due by the Company.  

		
	(c)
	Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions with respect to the Shares granted hereby the Company shall cause to be delivered to Executive such Shares in electronic book entry form, and such Shares shall be transferable by Executive (except to the extent that any proposed transfer would, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of applicable securities law).

		
	(d)
	If Executive ceases to be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation for any reason before the lapse date, including death or disability and except as provided in Section 4(b) above, the Forfeiture Restrictions then applicable to the Shares shall not lapse and all the Shares shall be forfeited to the Company upon termination of employment and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.

		
	5.
	Capital Adjustments and Reorganizations.  The existence of the Restricted Shares shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any company the stock of which is awarded pursuant to this Agreement to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in its capital structure or its business, engage in any merger or consolidation, issue any debt or equity securities, dissolve or 

4

liquidate, or sell, lease, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its assets or business, or engage in any other corporate act or proceeding.
		
	6.
	Tax Withholding.  To the extent that the receipt of the Restricted Shares or the lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions results in income to Executive for federal, state, local or foreign income, employment or other tax purposes with respect to which the Company or its Affiliates or subsidiaries have a withholding obligation, Executive shall deliver to the Company at the time of such receipt or lapse, as the case may be, such amount of money as the Company or any Affiliate may require to meet such obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations, and, if Executive fails to do so, the Company and its Affiliates and subsidiaries are authorized to withhold from the Shares granted hereby or from any cash or stock remuneration then or thereafter payable to Executive in any capacity any tax required to be withheld by reason of such taxable income, sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation.

		
	7.
	Section 83(b) Election.  Executive shall not exercise the election permitted under section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to the Restricted Shares without the prior written approval of the General Counsel of the Company (if Executive is the General Counsel of the Company, Executive must seek the prior written approval of the Chief Financial Officer or the Chief Executive Officer).  If the election is permitted as provided in the prior sentence, Executive shall timely pay the Company the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s attendant tax withholding obligations, if any.

		
	8.
	No Fractional Shares.  All provisions of this Agreement concern whole Shares.  If the application of any provision hereunder would yield a fractional share, such fractional share shall be rounded down to the next whole share if it is less than 0.5 and rounded up to the next whole share if it is 0.5 or more.

		
	9.
	Employment Relationship.  For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company and its Affiliates as long as Executive has an employment relationship with the Company and its Affiliates.  The Committee shall determine any questions as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment relationship, and the cause of such termination, under the Plan and the Committee’s determination shall be final and binding on all persons.

		
	10.
	Not an Employment Agreement.  This Agreement is not an employment agreement, and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to create an employment relationship between Executive and the Company or any Affiliate, to guarantee the right to remain employed by the Company or any Affiliate for any specified term or require the Company or any Affiliate to employ Executive for any period of time.

		
	11.
	Rights As Stockholder. Executive shall be the record owner of the Shares and shall be entitled to all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company upon issuance of the Shares by the Company and until the Shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any dividends or 

5

other distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the Shares with respect to which they were paid.
		
	12.
	Legend.  Executive consents to the placing of an appropriate legend notation on the electronic book entry representing the Shares restricting resale or other transfer of the Shares except in accordance with all applicable securities laws and rules thereunder.

		
	13.
	Notices.  Any notice, instruction, authorization, request, demand or other communications required hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be delivered either by personal delivery, by telegram, telex, telecopy or similar facsimile means, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by courier or delivery service, addressed to the Company at the Company’s principal business office address to the attention of the Company’s General Counsel and to Executive at Executive’s residential address as it appears on the books and records of the Company, or at such other address and number as a party shall have previously designated by written notice given to the other party in the manner hereinabove set forth.  Notices shall be deemed given when received, if sent by facsimile means (confirmation of such receipt by confirmed facsimile transmission being deemed receipt of communications sent by facsimile means); and when delivered (or upon the date of attempted delivery where delivery is refused), if hand-delivered, sent by express courier or delivery service, or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

		
	14.
	Amendment and Waiver.  Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan or as necessary to implement the provisions of the Plan, this Agreement may be amended, modified or superseded only by written instrument executed by the Company and Executive.  Only a written instrument executed and delivered by the party waiving compliance hereof shall waive any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement.  Any waiver granted by the Company shall be effective only if executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Company other than Executive.  The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions hereof shall in no manner effect the right to enforce the same.  No waiver by any party of any term or condition, or the breach of any term or condition contained in this Agreement, in one or more instances, shall be construed as a continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, a waiver of any other condition, or the breach of any other term or condition.

		
	15.
	Dispute Resolution.  In the event of any difference of opinion concerning the meaning or effect of the Plan or this Agreement, such difference shall be resolved by the Committee.

		
	16.
	Governing Law and Severability.  The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  The invalidity of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

		
	17.
	Successors and Assigns.  Subject to the limitations which this Agreement imposes upon the transferability of the Shares granted hereby, this Agreement shall bind, be enforceable 

6

by and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and to Executive, Executive’s permitted assigns, executors, administrators, agents, legal and personal representatives.
		
	18.
	Discretionary Nature of Plan.  The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company at any time, in its discretion. The grant of the Shares in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any Shares or other Awards in the future. Future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

		
	19.
	Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original for all purposes but all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

		
	20.
	Acceptance. The Executive agrees that by accepting this Agreement, Executive confirms that Executive has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts the Shares subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant or vesting of the Shares or disposition of the underlying shares and that the Executive has been advised to consult a tax advisor prior to such grant, vesting or disposition.

8.    Capital Adjustments and Reorganizations. The existence of the Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any company the stock of which is awarded pursuant to this Agreement to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in its capital structure or its business, engage in any merger or consolidation, issue any debt or equity securities, dissolve or liquidate, or sell, lease, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its assets or business, or engage in any other corporate act or proceeding.
9.    Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, Optionee shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company, any Subsidiary Corporation or any Affiliates as long as Optionee has an employment relationship with the Company, any Subsidiary Corporation or any Affiliates.  The Committee shall determine any questions as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment relationship, and the cause of such termination, under the Plan and the Committee’s determination shall be final and binding on all persons.

10.    Not an Employment Agreement.  This Agreement is not an employment or service agreement, and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to create an employment or other service relationship between Optionee and the Company, its subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates or guarantee the right to remain employed by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates, for any specified term or require the Company, its subsidiaries  or any Affiliate to employ Optionee for any period of time.
11.    No Rights As Stockholder.  Optionee shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Option Shares until the date of the issuance of such shares following Optionee’s exercise of the Option pursuant to its terms and conditions and payment of all amounts for and with respect to the shares.  No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date a certificate or certificates are issued for such shares or an uncertificated book-entry representing such shares is made.
12.    Legend.  Optionee consents to the placing on the certificate for any Option Shares of an appropriate legend restricting resale or other transfer of such shares except in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933 and all applicable rules thereunder.
13.    Notices.  Any notice, instruction, authorization, request, demand or other communications required hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be delivered either by personal delivery, by telegram, telex, telecopy or similar facsimile means, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by courier or delivery service, addressed to the Company at the Company’s principal business office address to the attention of the Company’s General Counsel and to Optionee at Optionee’s residential address as it appears on the books and records of the Company, or at such other address and number as a party shall have previously designated by written notice given to the other party in the manner hereinabove set forth.  Notices shall be deemed given when received, if sent by facsimile means (confirmation of such receipt by confirmed facsimile transmission being deemed receipt of communications sent by facsimile means); and when delivered (or upon the date of attempted delivery where delivery is refused), if hand-delivered, sent by express courier or delivery service, or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
14.    Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan or as necessary to implement the provisions of the Plan, this Agreement may be amended, modified or superseded only by written instrument executed by the Company and Optionee.  Only a written instrument executed and delivered by the party waiving compliance hereof shall waive any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement.  Any waiver granted by the Company shall be effective only if executed and delivered by a duly authorized director or officer of the Company other than Optionee.  The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions hereof shall in no manner effect the right to enforce the same.  No waiver by any party of any 

6

term or condition, or the breach of any term or condition contained in this Agreement, in one or more instances, shall be construed as a continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, a waiver of any other condition, or the breach of any other term or condition.
15.    Dispute Resolution.  In the event of any difference of opinion concerning the meaning or effect of the Plan or this Agreement, such difference shall be resolved by the Committee.
16.    Governing Law and Severability. The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  The invalidity of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
17.    Transfer Restrictions. The Option Shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or of any applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares of Stock may be listed.  Optionee also agrees (a) that the Company may refuse to cause the transfer of Option Shares to be registered on the applicable stock transfer records if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company constitute a violation of any applicable securities law and (b) that the Company may give related instructions to the transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Option Shares.
18.    Discretionary Nature of Plan.  The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company at any time, in its discretion. The grant of the Option Shares in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any Option Shares or other Awards in the future. Future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Optionee’s employment with the Company.
19.    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall, except as herein stated to the contrary, inure to the benefit of and bind the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
