“Period of Restriction”).

RSU Agreement

1

 

     This grant of Restricted Stock Units shall not confer any right to the Participant (or any
other Participant) to be granted Restricted Stock Units or other Awards in the future under the
Plan.

     2. Removal of Restrictions. Except as may otherwise be provided herein and in the Plan, the
number of Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement shall become payable to the
Participant on the date and in the amount set forth under the Lapse of Restriction Dates above,
subject to applicable federal and state securities laws.

     3. Termination of Employment.

	 	(a)	 	By Death, Disability, or Retirement. In the event the employment of
the Participant is terminated due to death, Disability, or Retirement during the
Periods of Restriction, the Periods of Restriction and the restrictions imposed on
the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Award shall immediately lapse with
all such Restricted Stock Units becoming payable to the Participant or his or her
estate, subject to applicable federal and state securities laws. For the purposes
of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the date upon which the Participant
becomes entitled to receive benefits pursuant to the Company’s long-term
disability plan then in effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement”
shall mean: (i) any termination of the Participant’s employment other than for
Cause after the Participant has attained sixty-five (65) years of age; or (ii) a
retirement approved by the Board.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Termination for Other Reasons. In the event of the Participant’s
termination of employment with the Company for any reason other than death,
Disability, or Retirement, all Restricted Stock Units still subject to a Period of
Restriction and other restrictions shall be forfeited by the Participant to the
Company. The transfer of employment of the Participant between the Company and any
Subsidiary (or between Subsidiaries) shall not be deemed a termination of
employment for the purposes of this Agreement.

     4. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event
of a Change in Control of the Company during the Periods of Restriction and prior to the
Participant’s termination of employment, the Periods of Restriction and restrictions imposed on the
Restricted Stock Units shall immediately lapse, with all such Restricted Stock Units vesting and
becoming payable to the Participant, subject to applicable federal and state securities laws.

     5. Nontransferability. During the Periods of Restriction, Restricted Stock Units granted
pursuant to this Agreement may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated
or hypothecated (a “Transfer”), other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
except as provided in the Plan. If any Transfer, whether voluntary or involuntary, of Restricted
Stock Units is made, or if any attachment, execution, garnishment, or lien shall be issued against
or placed upon the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant’s right to such Restricted Stock Unit
shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant to the Company, and this Agreement shall lapse.

     6. Recapitalization. In the event there is any change in the Company’s Shares through the
declaration of stock dividends or through recapitalization resulting in stock splits or through
merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, or otherwise, the number of Restricted Stock Units
subject to this Agreement may be equitably adjusted by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to
prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

     7. Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold an
amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA
obligation), domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any
taxable event arising as a result of this Agreement.

     8. Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or
beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this
Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such
benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in
a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in
writing with the Vice President Human Resources of the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.
In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall
be paid to the Participant’s estate.

     9. Continuation of Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right
to continue employment with the Company, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the
Company’s right to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time.

     10. Miscellaneous.

	 	(a)	 	This 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 to such rules and regulations as the Committee may
adopt for administration of the Plan. It is expressly understood that the
Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations
necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all
of which shall be binding upon the Participant.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Committee may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan; provided,
however, that no such termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan may in
any material way adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement,
without the written consent of the Participant.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Participant agrees to take all steps necessary to comply with
all applicable provisions of federal and state securities laws in exercising his
or her rights under this Agreement.

to deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including
the Participant’s FICA obligation), domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be

be paid to the Participant’s estate.

     9. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the
Company with respect to the Stock Appreciation Rights subject to this Agreement.

     10. Continuation of Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right
to continuation of employment by the Company, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with
the Company’s right to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time. A transfer of the
Participant’s employment between the Company and any one of its Subsidiaries (or between
Subsidiaries) shall not be deemed a termination of employment.

from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may
