    Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units will vest in

this Terms of Award Agreement, or on such earlier date as provided in Article IV

    In the
event that the Committee shall determine that any Fundamental Corporate Event
affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is required to preserve, or to
prevent enlargement of, the benefits or potential benefits made available under
this Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as the Committee may deem
equitable, adjust the number and kind of shares subject to the award of
Restricted Stock Units.  Additionally, the Committee may make
provision for cash payment to a Grantee or the Successor of the
Grantee.  However, the number of Restricted Stock Units shall always

              Except
      as provided in (e) below, if the Grantee shall die or begin to receive
      Long Term Disability benefits during the Restricted Period, the unvested
      Restricted Stock Units shall become immediately vested and Net Shares, if
      any, will be deposited with the Company’s designated broker in a brokerage
      account established in Grantee’s name, as soon as administratively

      cease to be employed by the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates during
      the Restricted Period, for reason of Retirement or involuntary termination
      of employment by the Company, a portion of the Restricted Stock Units
      shall vest in accordance with the following formula:  (i) the
      number of completed months employed after the Effective Date divided by
      the number of full months in the restricted period; multiplied by (ii)
      number of Restricted Stock Units, minus any vested Restricted Stock
      Units.   For purposes of this calculation, a month is
      complete on the day in the following month that corresponds to the
      Effective Date (e.g., February 9 to March 9).  Net shares, if

      than death, Long-Term Disability, Retirement or involuntary termination of
      employment by the Company, cease to be employed by the Company, its
      Subsidiaries or Affiliates during the Restricted Period, any unvested
      Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited at the time of cessation of
      employment.

              Except
      as provided in (a) or (b) above, any Restricted Stock Unit not vested as
      of the date Grantee terminates employment shall be forfeited at the time
      of cessation of employment; provided, however, that if Grantee’s
      employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause and Grantee
      has not previously, or does not subsequently, vest to any portion of the

      Grantee an amount equal to the value of a single share of Common Stock,
      whether or not the forfeited Restricted Stock Unit related to more than a

      employment, if requested by Grantee, within 30 days of such cessation of
      employment.

      Restricted Stock Unit will vest after the Company has terminated the
      employment of the Grantee for cause, unless the Committee, in its sole
      discretion, deems a payment to be warranted under the particular
      circumstances. In addition, the Restricted Stock Units will not vest if
      Grantee has willfully engaged in gross misconduct or other serious
      impropriety which the Company determines is likely to be damaging or
      detrimental to the Company, any Subsidiary or
  Affiliate.

      expiration of the grant  under this Article V shall mean
      continuous full-time salaried employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or
      an Affiliate, except that the period during which the Grantee is on
      vacation, sick leave, or other pre-approved leave of absence (provided
      there is no actual termination of employment), or in receipt of salary
      continuation or severance pay shall not interrupt the continuous
      employment of the Grantee.

      tier employees (the executive tier status determined as of the effective
      date of this grant) following Grantee’s termination of Employment,
      directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit the trade of any

      Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate is undertaking reasonable steps to
      procure as a customer at the time of or immediately preceding termination
      of Employment; provided, however, that this limitation shall only apply to
      any product or service which is in competition with a product or service
      of the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate and shall apply only with
      respect to a customer or prospective customer with whom the Grantee has
      been directly or indirectly
involved.

              (v)

            	
              
                Following
      the termination of Grantee’s Employment, Grantee shall provide assistance
      to and shall cooperate with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, upon
      its reasonable request and without additional compensation, with respect
      to matters within the scope of Grantee’s duties and responsibilities
      during Employment, provided that any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
      Grantee incurs in connection with any assistance Grantee has been
      requested to provide under this provision for items including, but not
      limited to, transportation, meals, lodging and telephone, shall be
      reimbursed by the Company.  The Company agrees and acknowledges
      that it shall, to the maximum extent possible under the then prevailing
      circumstances, coordinate, or cause a Subsidiary or Affiliate to
      coordinate, any such request with Grantee’s other commitments and
      responsibilities to minimize the degree to which such request interferes
      with such commitments and responsibilities;
  and

              

            

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (vi)

            	
              Grantee
      shall promptly notify the Company’s General Counsel if Grantee is
      contacted by a regulatory or self-regulatory agency with respect to
      matters pertaining to the Company or by an attorney or other individual
      who informs the Grantee that he/she has filed, intends to file, or is
      considering filing a claim or complaint against the
    Company.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (vii)

            	
              Grantee
      acknowledges that all original works of authorship that are created by
      Grantee (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of Grantee’s
      employment which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire” as
      that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C.,
      Section 101).  Grantee further acknowledges that while employed
      by the Company, Grantee may develop ideas, inventions, discoveries,
      innovations, procedures, methods, know-how or other works which relate to
      the Company’s current or are reasonably expected to relate to the
      Company’s future business that may be patentable or subject to trade
      secret protection.  Grantee agrees that all such works of
      authorship, ideas, inventions, discoveries, innovations, procedures,
      methods, know-how and other works shall belong exclusively to the Company,
      and the Grantee hereby assigns all right, title, and interest therein to
      the Company.

            

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    To the
extent any of the foregoing works may be patentable, Grantee agrees that the
Company may file and prosecute any application for patents for such works and
that the Grantee will, on request, execute assignments to the Company relating
to (and take all such further steps as may be reasonably necessary to perfect
the Company’s sole and exclusive ownership of) any such application and any
patents resulting therefrom.

              If
      any provision of Article VI (a) is determined by a court of competent
      jurisdiction not to be enforceable in the manner set forth herein, the
      Company and Grantee agree that it is the intention of the parties that
      such provision should be enforceable to the maximum extent possible under
      applicable law and that such court shall reform such provision to make it
      enforceable in accordance with the intent of the
  parties.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              Grantee
      acknowledges that a material part of the inducement for the Company to
      grant the Restricted Stock Units is Grantee’s covenants set forth in
      Article VI (a) and that the covenants and obligations of Grantee with
      respect to nondisclosure, non-solicitation and cooperation relate to
      special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of
      the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause the Company
      irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at
      law.  Therefore, Grantee agrees that, if Grantee shall breach
      any of those covenants or obligations, Grantee shall not be entitled to
      vest in the Restricted Stock or be entitled to retain any income therefrom
      and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or
      such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond)
      restraining Grantee from committing any violation of the covenants and
      obligations contained in Article VI.  The remedies in the
      preceding sentence are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights
      and remedies the Company may have at law or in equity as a court or
      arbitrator shall reasonably
determine.

                Except
      as otherwise specified in this Agreement, the Grantee and the Company
      agree that all employment-related legal disputes between them will be
      submitted to and resolved by binding arbitration, and neither the Grantee
      nor the Company will file or participate as an individual party or member
      of a class in a lawsuit in any court against the other with respect to
      such matters.  This shall apply to claims brought on or after
      the date the Grantee accepts this Agreement, even if the facts and
      circumstances relating to the claim occurred prior to that date and
      regardless of whether the Grantee or the Company previously filed a
      complaint/charge with a government agency concerning the
      claim.

              

      

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
               

            	
              For
      purposes of Article VI (d) of this Agreement, “the Company” includes Aetna
      Inc., its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, their predecessors, successors and
      assigns, and those acting as representatives or agents of those
      entities.  THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT, WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS
      SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT, ARBITRATION REPLACES THE RIGHT OF
      THE GRANTEE AND THE COMPANY TO SUE OR PARTICIPATE IN A
      LAWSUIT.  THE GRANTEE ALSO UNDERSTANDS THAT IN ARBITRATION, A
      DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, AND THE
      DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR IS FINAL AND
BINDING.

              THE
      GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT
      AFFECT THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF THE GRANTEE AND THE COMPANY AND ACKNOWLEDGES
      THAT THE GRANTEE HAS BEEN ADVISED TO, AND HAS BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY
      TO, OBTAIN LEGAL ADVICE BEFORE SIGNING THIS
  AGREEMENT.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iii)

            	
              Article
      VI (d) of this Agreement does not apply to workers’ compensation claims,
      unemployment compensation claims, and claims under the Employee Retirement
      Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) for employee benefits.  A
      dispute as to whether Article VI (d) of this Agreement applies must be
      submitted to the binding arbitration process set forth in this
      Agreement.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iv)

            	
              The
      Grantee and/or the Company may seek emergency or temporary injunctive
      relief from a court (including with respect to claims arising out of
      Article VI (a) in accordance with applicable law).  However,
      except as provided in Article VI (c) of this Agreement, after the court
      has issued a ruling concerning the emergency or temporary injunctive
      relief, the Grantee and the Company shall be required to submit the
      dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to this
  Agreement.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (v)

            	
              Unless
      otherwise agreed, the arbitration will be administered by the American
      Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and will be conducted pursuant to the
      AAA’s Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (the “Rules”),
      as modified in this Agreement, in effect at the time the request for
      arbitration is filed.  The AAA’s Rules are available on the
      AAA’s website at www.adr.org.
      THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE COMPANY HAS ENCOURAGED THE GRANTEE TO
      READ THESE RULES PROMPTLY AND CAREFULLY AND THAT THE GRANTEE HAS BEEN
      AFFORDED SUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITY TO DO
SO.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (vi)

            	
              If
      the Company initiates a request for arbitration, the Company will pay all
      of the administrative fees and costs charged by the AAA, including the
      arbitrator’s compensation and charges for hearing room rentals,
      etc.  If the Grantee initiates a request for arbitration or
      submits a counterclaim to the Company’s request for arbitration, the
      Grantee shall be required to contribute One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to
      those administrative fees and costs, payable to the AAA at the time the
      Grantee's request for arbitration or counterclaim is
      submitted.  The Company may increase the contribution amount in
      the future without amending this Agreement, but not to exceed the maximum
      permitted under the AAA rules then in effect. In all cases, the Grantee
      and the Company shall be responsible for payment of any fees assessed by
      the arbitrator as a result of that party’s delay, request for
      postponement, failure to comply with the arbitrator’s rulings and for
      other similar reasons.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (vii)

            	
              The
      Grantee and the Company may choose to be represented by legal counsel in
      the arbitration process and shall be responsible for their own legal fees,
      expenses and costs.  However, the arbitrator shall have the same
      authority as a court to order the Grantee or the Company to pay some or
      all of the other’s legal fees, expenses and costs, in accordance with
      applicable law.

            

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (viii)

            	
              Unless
      otherwise agreed, there shall be a single arbitrator, selected by the
      Grantee and the Company from a list of qualified neutrals furnished by the
      AAA.  If the Grantee and the Company cannot agree on an
      arbitrator, one will be selected by the
AAA.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ix)

            	
              Unless
      otherwise agreed, the arbitration hearing will take place in the city
      where the Grantee works or last worked for the Company.  If the
      Grantee and the Company disagree as to the proper locale, the AAA will
      decide.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (x)

            	
              The
      Grantee and the Company shall be entitled to conduct limited pre-hearing
      discovery.  Each may take the deposition of one person and
      anyone designated by the other as an expert witness.  The party
      taking the deposition shall be responsible for all associated costs, such
      as the cost of a court reporter and the cost of an original
      transcript.  Each party also has the right to submit one set of
      ten written questions (including subparts) to the other party, which must
      be answered under oath, and to request and obtain all documents on which
      the other party relies in support of its answers to the written
      questions.  Additional discovery may be permitted by the
      arbitrator upon a showing that it is necessary for that party to have a
      fair opportunity to present a claim or
defense.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (xi)

            	
              The
      arbitrator shall apply the same substantive law that would apply if the
      matter were heard by a court and shall have the authority to order the
      same remedies (but no others) as would be available in a court
      proceeding.  The time limits for requesting arbitration or
      submitting a counterclaim and the administrative prerequisites for filing
      an arbitration claim or counterclaim are the same as they would be in a
      court proceeding.  The arbitrator shall consider and decide any
      dispositive motions (motions seeking a decision on some or all of the
      claims or counterclaims without an arbitration hearing) filed by any
      party.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (xii)

            	
              All
      proceedings, including the arbitration hearing and decision, are private
      and confidential, unless otherwise required by law.  Arbitration
      decisions may not be published or publicized without the consent of both
      the Grantee and the Company.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (xiii)

            	
              Unless
      otherwise agreed, the arbitrator’s decision will be in writing with a
      brief summary of the arbitrator’s
opinion.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (xiv)

            	
              The
      arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on the Grantee and the
      Company.  After the arbitrator’s decision is issued, the Grantee
      or the Company may obtain an order of judgment from a court and may obtain
      a court order enforcing the decision.  The arbitrator’s decision
      may be appealed to the courts only under the limited circumstances
      provided by law.

              If
      the Grantee previously signed an agreement, including but not limited to
      an employment agreement, containing arbitration provisions, those
      provisions are superseded by the arbitration provisions of this
      Agreement.

              If
      any provision of Article VI (d) is found to be void or otherwise
      unenforceable, in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of
      the remainder of Article VI (d) and the remainder of the
      Agreement.  All other provisions shall remain in full force and
      effect.

            

    

    

    For
purposes of this Article VI, the term “Employment” shall refer to active
employment with the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate, and shall not include salary
continuation or severance periods.

      Company or any of its Subsidiaries to employ or continue the employment of
      the Grantee for any period.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Until
      the Restricted Stock Units have become vested, Grantee shall not have any
      rights as a stockholder (including the right to payment of dividends) by
      virtue of this grant of Restricted Stock
Units.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              During

      and non-assignable except by will or the laws of descent and
      distribution.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (d)

            	
              The
      award, when vested, will be settled on a net basis.  Prior to
      issuing any Common Shares, the Company will withhold an amount sufficient
      to satisfy federal, state, local, social security and Medicare withholding
      tax requirements relating to award.  Any social security
      calculation or other adjustments discovered after net share payment will
      be settled in cash, not in Shares of Common Stock.  Vesting will
      result in taxable compensation reportable on the Grantee’s W-2 in year of
      vesting.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (e)

            	
              This
      Restricted Stock Unit is an unfunded obligation of the Company and nothing
      in this Agreement shall be construed to create any claim against
      particular assets or require the Company to segregate or otherwise set
      aside any assets or create any fund to meet its obligations
      hereunder.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (f)

            	
              Anything
      herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Grantee whose Restricted Stock
      Units have been forfeited as a result of termination of employment due to
      U.S. Military Service and who is later re-employed (in a full-time active
      status) after discharge within the time period set in 38 U.S.C. Section
      4312 will be eligible to have the forfeited Restricted Stock Units
      reinstated as follows: (i) if such Grantee is re-employed during the
      Restricted Period, all forfeited Restricted Stock Units shall be
      reinstated; or (ii) if such Grantee is re-employed after the Restricted
      Period, a cash payment will be made to the Grantee, minus applicable
      taxes, for the value of the forfeited Restricted Stock Units on the Vest
      Date pursuant to procedures established by the Company for this
      purpose.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (g)

            	
              If
      any provision of this Agreement would cause Grantee to incur any
      additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
      Code, the Company may reform such provision to comply with Section 409A of
      the Internal Revenue Code.

            

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    
      	
              (h)

            	
              If
      the Company reasonably anticipates that the Company’s tax deduction with
      respect to the payment upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units would be
      limited or eliminated by application of Section 162(m) of the Internal
      Revenue Code, the Company may elect to delay the payment of such
      Restricted Stock Units to the earliest date in which the Company
      anticipates that its tax deduction for such payment will not be limited or
      eliminated.

equitable, adjust the number and kind of shares subject to the award of

      of employment by the Company, a portion of the Restricted Stock Units
      shall vest in accordance with the following formula:  (i) the
      number of completed months employed after the Effective Date divided by
      the number of full months in the restricted period; multiplied by (ii)
      number of Restricted Stock Units, minus any vested Restricted Stock
      Units.   For purposes of this calculation, a month is
      complete on the day in the following month that corresponds to the
      Effective Date (e.g., February 9 to March 9).  Net shares, if
      any, will be deposited with the Company’s designated broker in a brokerage
      account established in Grantee’s name, as soon as administratively
      possible.

      as provided in (d) and (e) below, if the Grantee shall, for a reason other
      than death, Long-Term Disability, Retirement or involuntary termination of
      employment by the Company, cease to be employed by the Company, its
      Subsidiaries or Affiliates during the Restricted Period, any unvested
      Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited at the time of cessation of
      employment.

      of the date Grantee terminates employment shall be forfeited at the time
      of cessation of employment; provided, however, that if Grantee’s
      employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause and Grantee
      has not previously, or does not subsequently, vest to any portion of the
      Restricted Stock Unit in accordance with its terms, then upon the
      forfeiture of the entire Restricted Stock Unit, the Company will pay
      Grantee an amount equal to the value of a single share of Common Stock,
      whether or not the forfeited Restricted Stock Unit related to more than a
      single share of Common Stock, calculated as of the cessation of
      employment, if requested by Grantee, within 30 days of such cessation of
      employment.

      employment of the Grantee for cause, unless the Committee, in its sole
      discretion, deems a payment to be warranted under the particular
      circumstances. In addition, the Restricted Stock Units will not vest if
      Grantee has willfully engaged in gross misconduct or other serious
      impropriety which the Company determines is likely to be damaging or
      detrimental to the Company, any Subsidiary or
  Affiliate.

      an Affiliate, except that the period during which the Grantee is on
      vacation, sick leave, or other pre-approved leave of absence (provided

      continuation or severance pay shall not interrupt the continuous

      publicly traded company) of, (b) become an employee of, or (c) act as a
      consultant or contractor to, any competitor of the Company engaged in
      health care business (“Competitor”).  For purposes of this
      paragraph VI(a)(ii) “Competitor” shall mean the four companies (and their
      respective subsidiaries and affiliates) on a list provided by the Company
      to Grantee (the “Specified Entities”).  The initial list of
      Specified Entities shall be provided simultaneously with execution of this
      Agreement.  The Specified Entities may be changed by the Company
      from time to time (but shall never be more than four) by delivering a new
      list to Grantee, provided that any change in the list delivered to Grantee
      within 90 days prior to or at any time after Grantee’s termination of
      employment with the Company shall be null and
      void.  Notwithstanding, if Grantee’s employment is terminated by
      the Company, other than for cause, the length of the noncompetition
      covenant in this paragraph shall not exceed the length of the severance or
      salary continuation benefits paid by the Company to
    Grantee.

      solicit the trade of any individual or entity which, at the time of such
      solicitation, is a customer of the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate,

      limitation shall only apply to any product or service which is in
      competition with a product or service of the Company, any Subsidiary or
      Affiliate and shall apply only with respect to a customer or prospective
      customer with whom the Grantee has been directly or indirectly
      involved.

      under the then prevailing circumstances, coordinate, or cause a Subsidiary
      or Affiliate to coordinate, any such request with Grantee’s other
      commitments and responsibilities to minimize the degree to which such
      request interferes with such commitments and responsibilities;

      contacted by a regulatory or self-regulatory agency with respect to
      matters pertaining to the Company or by an attorney or other individual
      who informs the Grantee that he/she has filed, intends to file, or is

              Grantee
      acknowledges that all original works of authorship that are created by
      Grantee (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of Grantee’s
      employment which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire” as
      that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C.,
      Section 101).  Grantee further acknowledges that while employed
      by the Company, Grantee may develop ideas, inventions, discoveries,
      innovations, procedures, methods, know-how or other works which relate to
      the Company’s current or are reasonably expected to relate to the
      Company’s future business that may be patentable or subject to trade
      secret protection.  Grantee agrees that all such works of
      authorship, ideas, inventions, discoveries, innovations, procedures,
      methods, know-how and other works shall belong exclusively to the Company,
      and the Grantee hereby assigns all right, title, and interest therein to
      the Company.

            

    

     

    
      
        	
                 
      

              	
                 

              	
                To
      the extent any of the foregoing works may be patentable, Grantee agrees
      that the Company may file and prosecute any application for patents for
      such works and that the Grantee will, on request, execute assignments to
      the Company relating to (and take all such further steps as may be
      reasonably necessary to perfect the Company’s sole and exclusive ownership
      of) any such application and any patents resulting
    therefrom.

              

      

       

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              If
      any provision of Article VI (a) is determined by a court of competent
      jurisdiction not to be enforceable in the manner set forth herein, the
      Company and Grantee agree that it is the intention of the parties that
      such provision should be enforceable to the maximum extent possible under
      applicable law and that such court shall reform such provision to make it
      enforceable in accordance with the intent of the
  parties.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              Grantee
      acknowledges that a material part of the inducement for the Company to
      grant the Restricted Stock Units is Grantee’s covenants set forth in
      Article VI (a) and that the covenants and obligations of Grantee with
      respect to noncompetition, nondisclosure, non-solicitation and cooperation
      relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation
      of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause the
      Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available
      at law.  Therefore, Grantee agrees that, if Grantee shall breach
      any of those covenants or obligations, Grantee shall not be entitled to
      vest in the Restricted Stock or be entitled to retain any income therefrom
      and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or
      such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond)
      restraining Grantee from committing any violation of the covenants and
      obligations contained in Article VI.  The remedies in the
      preceding sentence are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights
      and remedies the Company may have at law or in equity as a court or
      arbitrator shall reasonably
determine.

      agree that all employment-related legal disputes between them will be
      submitted to and resolved by binding arbitration, and neither the Grantee
      nor the Company will file or participate as an individual party or member
      of a class in a lawsuit in any court against the other with respect to
      such matters.  This shall apply to claims brought on or after
      the date the Grantee accepts this Agreement, even if the facts and
      circumstances relating to the claim occurred prior to that date and
      regardless of whether the Grantee or the Company previously filed a

      claim.

      Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) for employee benefits.  A

                PROMPTLY
      AND CAREFULLY AND THAT THE GRANTEE HAS BEEN AFFORDED SUFFICIENT
      OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.

              

      

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (vi)

            	
              If
      the Company initiates a request for arbitration, the Company will pay all
      of the administrative fees and costs charged by the AAA, including the
      arbitrator’s compensation and charges for hearing room rentals,
      etc.  If the Grantee initiates a request for arbitration or
      submits a counterclaim to the Company’s request for arbitration, the
      Grantee shall be required to contribute One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to
      those administrative fees and costs, payable to the AAA at the time the
      Grantee's request for arbitration or counterclaim is
      submitted.  The Company may increase the contribution amount in
      the future without amending this Agreement, but not to exceed the maximum
      permitted under the AAA rules then in effect. In all cases, the Grantee
      and the Company shall be responsible for payment of any fees assessed by
      the arbitrator as a result of that party’s delay, request for
      postponement, failure to comply with the arbitrator’s rulings and for
      other similar reasons.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (vii)

            	
              The
      Grantee and the Company may choose to be represented by legal counsel in
      the arbitration process and shall be responsible for their own legal fees,
      expenses and costs.  However, the arbitrator shall have the same
      authority as a court to order the Grantee or the Company to pay some or
      all of the other’s legal fees, expenses and costs, in accordance with
      applicable law.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (viii)

            	
              Unless
      otherwise agreed, there shall be a single arbitrator, selected by the
      Grantee and the Company from a list of qualified neutrals furnished by the
      AAA.  If the Grantee and the Company cannot agree on an
      arbitrator, one will be selected by the
AAA.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ix)

            	
              Unless
      otherwise agreed, the arbitration hearing will take place in the city
      where the Grantee works or last worked for the Company.  If the
      Grantee and the Company disagree as to the proper locale, the AAA will
      decide.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (x)

            	
              The
      Grantee and the Company shall be entitled to conduct limited pre-hearing
      discovery.  Each may take the deposition of one person and
      anyone designated by the other as an expert witness.  The party
      taking the deposition shall be responsible for all associated costs, such
      as the cost of a court reporter and the cost of an original
      transcript.  Each party also has the right to submit one set of
      ten written questions (including subparts) to the other party, which must
      be answered under oath, and to request and obtain all documents on which
      the other party relies in support of its answers to the written
      questions.  Additional discovery may be permitted by the
      arbitrator upon a showing that it is necessary for that party to have a
      fair opportunity to present a claim or
defense.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (xi)

            	
              The
      arbitrator shall apply the same substantive law that would apply if the
      matter were heard by a court and shall have the authority to order the
      same remedies (but no others) as would be available in a court
      proceeding.  The time limits for requesting arbitration or
      submitting a counterclaim and the administrative prerequisites for filing
      an arbitration claim or counterclaim are the same as they would be in a
      court proceeding.  The arbitrator shall consider and decide any
      dispositive motions (motions seeking a decision on some or all of the
      claims or counterclaims without an arbitration hearing) filed by any
      party.

              (xii)

            	
              All
      proceedings, including the arbitration hearing and decision, are private
      and confidential, unless otherwise required by law.  Arbitration
      decisions may not be published or publicized without the consent of both
      the Grantee and the Company.

            

    

     

    
      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (xiii)

              	
                Unless
      otherwise agreed, the arbitrator’s decision will be in writing with a
      brief summary of the arbitrator’s
opinion.

              

      

       

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (xiv)

            	
              The
      arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on the Grantee and the
      Company.  After the arbitrator’s decision is issued, the Grantee
      or the Company may obtain an order of judgment from a court and may obtain
      a court order enforcing the decision.  The arbitrator’s decision
      may be appealed to the courts only under the limited circumstances
      provided by law.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (xv)

            	
              If
      the Grantee previously signed an agreement, including but not limited to
      an employment agreement, containing arbitration provisions, those
      provisions are superseded by the arbitration provisions of this
      Agreement.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (xvi)

            	
              If
      any provision of Article VI (d) is found to be void or otherwise
      unenforceable, in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of
      the remainder of Article VI (d) and the remainder of the
      Agreement.  All other provisions shall remain in full force and
      effect.

            

    

    

    For
purposes of this Article VI, the term “Employment” shall refer to active
employment with the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate, and shall not include salary
continuation or severance periods.

    

    

    ARTICLE
VII

    

    OTHER
TERMS

    

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              Nothing
      in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of
      the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the Grantee’s
      employment at any time.  Neither the execution and delivery
      hereof nor the granting of the Award shall constitute or be evidence of
      any agreement or understanding, express or implied, on the part of the
      Company or any of its Subsidiaries to employ or continue the employment of
      the Grantee for any period.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Until
      the Restricted Stock Units have become vested, Grantee shall not have any
      rights as a stockholder (including the right to payment of dividends) by
      virtue of this grant of Restricted Stock
Units.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              During
      the Restricted Period, the Restricted Stock Units shall be nontransferable
      and non-assignable except by will or the laws of descent and
      distribution.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (d)

            	
              The
      award, when vested, will be settled on a net basis.  Prior to
      issuing any Common Shares, the Company will withhold an amount sufficient
      to satisfy federal, state, local, social security and Medicare withholding
      tax requirements relating to award.  Any social security
      calculation or other adjustments discovered after net share payment will
      be settled in cash, not in Shares of Common Stock.  Vesting will
      result in taxable compensation reportable on the Grantee’s W-2 in year of
      vesting.

              (e)

            	
              This
      Restricted Stock Unit is an unfunded obligation of the Company and nothing
      in this Agreement shall be construed to create any claim against
      particular assets or require the Company to segregate or otherwise set
      aside any assets or create any fund to meet its obligations
      hereunder.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (f)

            	
              Anything
      herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Grantee whose Restricted Stock
      Units have been forfeited as a result of termination of employment due to
      U.S. Military Service and who is later re-employed (in a full-time active
      status) after discharge within the time period set in 38 U.S.C. Section
      4312 will be eligible to have the forfeited Restricted Stock Units
      reinstated as follows: (i) if such Grantee is re-employed during the
      Restricted Period, all forfeited Restricted Stock Units shall be
      reinstated; or (ii) if such Grantee is re-employed after the Restricted
      Period, a cash payment will be made to the Grantee, minus applicable
      taxes, for the value of the forfeited Restricted Stock Units on the Vest
      Date pursuant to procedures established by the Company for this
      purpose.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (g)

            	
              If
      any provision of this Agreement would cause Grantee to incur any
      additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
      Code, the Company may reform such provision to comply with Section 409A of
      the Internal Revenue Code.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (h)

            	
              If
      the Company reasonably anticipates that the Company’s tax deduction with
      respect to the payment upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units would be
      limited or eliminated by application of Section 162(m) of the Internal
      Revenue Code, the Company may elect to delay the payment of such
      Restricted Stock Units to the earliest date in which the Company
      anticipates that its tax deduction for such payment will not be limited or
      eliminated.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (i)

            	
              This
      Agreement is subject to the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan heretofore adopted
      by the Company and approved by its shareholders.  The terms and
      provisions of the Plan (including any subsequent amendments thereto) are
      hereby incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of a
      conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or
      provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan
      will govern and prevail.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (j)

            	
              Voluntary
      Deferral.  At such times and upon such terms and conditions as
      the Company shall determine, the Company may permit eligible Grantees to
      elect to defer the distribution of an Award otherwise payable to the
      Grantee under this Agreement until termination of the Grantee’s Employment
      or such other date Company shall
permit.
