          (d) The Committee may determine, at or after the Date of Grant, that payment of the Option
Price of any Option Right (other than an Incentive Stock Option) may also be made in whole or in
part in the form of Restricted Shares or other shares of Common Stock that are forfeitable or
subject to restrictions on transfer (based on the Market Value per Share on the date of exercise),
other Option Rights (based on the Spread on the date of exercise) or Performance Units. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the Date of Grant, whenever any Option Price is
paid in whole or in part by means of any of the forms of consideration specified in this Section
4(d), the shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of the Option Rights shall be subject
to such risks of forfeiture or restrictions on transfer as may correspond to any that apply to the
consideration surrendered, but only to the extent, determined with respect to the consideration
surrendered, of (i) the same number of shares of Common Stock received by the Optionee as applied
to the forfeitable or Restricted Shares

5

 

surrendered by the Optionee, (ii) the Spread of any unexercisable portion of Option Rights, or
(iii) the stated value of Performance Units.

          (e) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, each grant of Option Rights shall specify

provide for the earlier exercise of such Option Rights upon the occurrence of a change of control
of the Company or other similar transaction or event specified in an Evidence of Award.

          (f) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3 of this Plan, successive grants of
Option Rights may be made to the same Eligible Participant whether or not any Option Rights
previously granted to such Eligible Participant remain unexercised.

          (g) Any grant of Option Rights may specify Management Objectives that must be achieved as a
condition to the exercise of such rights.

          (h) Option Rights granted under this Plan may be (i) options, including, without limitation,
Incentive Stock Options, that are intended to qualify under particular provisions of the Code, (ii)
options that are not intended so to qualify, or (iii) combinations of the foregoing.

          (i) The Committee may, at or after the Date of Grant of any Option Rights (other than
Incentive Stock Options), provide for the payment of dividend equivalents to the Optionee on either
a current or, deferred or contingent basis or may provide that such equivalents shall be credited
against the Option Price.

          (j) The exercise of an Option Right shall result in the cancellation on a share-for-share
basis of any Tandem Appreciation Right authorized under Section 5 of this Plan.

          (k) No Option Right shall be exercisable more than 10 years from the Date of Grant.

Free-Standing Appreciation Rights. A Tandem Appreciation Right shall be a right of the Optionee,
exercisable by his or her surrender of the related Option Right, to receive from the Company an
amount determined by the Committee, which shall be expressed as a percentage of the Spread (not
exceeding 100%) at the time of exercise. Tandem Appreciation Rights may be granted at any time
prior to the exercise or termination of the related Option Rights; provided, however, that a Tandem
Appreciation Right awarded in relation to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted concurrently
with such Incentive Stock Option. A Free-Standing Appreciation

6

 

Right shall be a right of the Eligible Participant to receive from the Company an amount
determined by the Committee, which shall be expressed as a percentage of the Spread (not exceeding
100%) at the time of exercise.

          (b) Each grant of Appreciation Rights may utilize any or all of the authorizations, and shall
be subject to all of the requirements, contained in the following provisions:

               (i) Any grant of Appreciation Rights may specify that the amount payable on exercise of an
Appreciation Right may be paid by the Company in cash, in shares of Common Stock or in any
combination thereof and may either grant to the Eligible Participant or retain in the Committee the
right to elect among those alternatives; provided, however, that if the right to elect among those
alternatives is granted to the Optionee, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to approve or
disapprove the Optionee’s election to receive cash in full or partial settlement of an Appreciation
Right, which consent or approval may be given at any time after the election to which it relates.

               (ii) Any grant of Appreciation Rights may specify that the amount payable on exercise of an
Appreciation Right (valuing shares of Common Stock for this purpose at their Market Value per Share
on the date of exercise) may not exceed a maximum amount specified by the Committee on the Date of
Grant.

               (iii) Any grant of Appreciation Rights may specify waiting periods before exercise and
permissible exercise dates or periods.

               (iv) Any grant of Appreciation Rights may provide that an Appreciation Right may be exercised

as a condition of the exercise of such Appreciation Rights.

               (vi) Any grant of Appreciation Rights may provide for the payment to the Eligible Participant
of dividend equivalents thereon in cash or shares of Common Stock on a current, deferred or
contingent basis.

               (vii) Each grant of Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award that shall
describe such Appreciation Rights, identify the related Option Rights (in the case of Tandem
Appreciation Rights), and which shall contain such terms and provisions, not inconsistent with this
Plan, as the Committee may approve.

          (c) Any grant of Tandem Appreciation Rights shall provide that such Rights may be exercised
only at a time when the related Option Right is also exercisable and at a time when the Spread is
positive, and by surrender of the related Option Right for cancellation.

7

 

          (d) Any grant of Free-Standing Appreciation Rights may utilize any or all of the following
additional authorizations, and shall be subject to the following additional requirements:

               (i) Each grant shall specify in respect of each Free-Standing Appreciation Right a Base Price,
which shall be equal to or greater than the Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant.

               (ii) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3 of this Plan, successive grants of
Free-Standing Appreciation Rights may be made to the same Eligible Participant regardless of
whether any Free-Standing Appreciation Rights previously granted to the Eligible Participant remain
unexercised.

               (iii) No Free-Standing Appreciation Right granted under this Plan may be exercised more than
10 years from the Date of Grant.

     6. Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units.

          (a) Restricted Shares. The Committee may authorize the grant or sale of Restricted
Shares to Eligible Participants. Each such grant or sale may utilize any or all of the
authorizations, and shall be subject to all of the requirements, contained in the following
provisions:

               (i) Each such grant or sale of Restricted Shares shall constitute an immediate transfer of the
ownership of shares of Common Stock to the Eligible Participant in consideration of the performance
of services, entitling such Eligible Participant to voting, dividend and other ownership rights,
but subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to
hereinafter.

               (ii) Each such grant or sale of Restricted Shares may be made without additional consideration
or in consideration of a payment by such Eligible Participant that is less than Market Value per
Share on the Date of Grant.

               (iii) Each such grant or sale of Restricted Shares shall provide that the Restricted Shares
covered by such grant or sale shall be subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the
meaning of Section 83 of the Code for a period to be determined by the Committee on the Date of
Grant, provided that such period shall be at least three years. Notwithstanding the foregoing
restriction, any grant or sale of Restricted Shares may provide for the earlier lapse of
substantial risk of forfeiture in the event of a change in control of the Company or other similar
transaction or event specified in an Evidence of Award.

               (iv) Each such grant or sale of Restricted Shares shall provide that during the period for
which a substantial risk of forfeiture is to continue, the transferability of the Restricted Shares
shall be prohibited or restricted in the manner and to the extent prescribed by the Company on the
Date of Grant (which restrictions may include, without limitation, rights of repurchase or first
refusal in favor of the Company or provisions subjecting the Restricted Shares to a continuing
substantial risk of forfeiture in the hands of any transferee).

8

 

               (v) Any grant or sale of Restricted Shares may specify Management Objectives that, if
achieved, will result in termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to such
shares. Each grant or sale may specify in respect of such Management Objectives a minimum
acceptable level of achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the number of
Restricted Shares on which restrictions will terminate if performance is at or above the minimum
level, but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives.

               (vi) Any grant or sale of Restricted Shares may provide that any or all dividends or other
distributions paid thereon during the period of such restrictions be automatically deferred and
reinvested in additional Restricted Shares, which shall be subject to the same restrictions as the
underlying award.

               (vii) Each grant or sale of Restricted Shares shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award that
shall contain such terms and provisions, not inconsistent with this Plan, as the Committee may
approve. Unless otherwise directed by the Committee, all certificates representing Restricted
Shares shall be held in custody by the Company until all restrictions thereon have lapsed, together
with a stock power or powers executed by the Eligible Participant in whose name such certificates
are registered, endorsed in blank and covering such shares.

          (b) Restricted Share Units. The Committee may also authorize the grant or sale of
Restricted Share Units to Eligible Participants. Each such grant or sale may utilize any or all of
the authorizations, and will be subject to all of the requirements, contained in the following
provisions:

               (i) Each such grant or sale will constitute the agreement by the Company to deliver Common
Stock or cash to the Eligible Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of
services, but subject to the fulfillment of such conditions during the Restriction Period as the
Board may specify.

               (ii) Each such grant or sale may be made without additional consideration or in consideration
of a payment by such Eligible Participant that is less than the Market Value per Share at the Date
of Grant.

               (iii) Each such grant or sale will be subject to a Restriction Period as determined by the
Committee at the Date of Grant, and may provide for the earlier lapse or other modification of such
Restriction Period upon (a) the Eligible Participant achieving Management Objectives specified in
such grant, (b) a change in control of the Company or other similar transaction or event or (c) the
retirement, death or disability of the Eligible Participant, as specified in an Evidence of Award;
provided, however, that each such grant or sale shall be subject to a “substantial risk of
forfeiture” in the same manner as set forth in Section 6(a)(iii) of this Plan.

               (iv) During the Restriction Period, the Eligible Participant will have no right to transfer
any rights under his or her Restricted Share Units and will have no rights of ownership in the
Restricted Share Units and will have no right to vote them, but the Board may, at or after the Date
of Grant, authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on such Restricted

9

 

Share Units on either a current or deferred or contingent basis, either in cash or in Common
Stock.

               (v) Each grant or sale of Restricted Share Units will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award and
will contain such terms and provisions, consistent with this Plan, as the Board may approve.

     7. Performance Units. The Committee may authorize the grant of Performance Units to Eligible
Participants. Each such grant may utilize any or all of the authorizations, and shall be subject to
all of the requirements, contained in the following provisions:

          (a) Each grant of Performance Units shall specify the number of Performance Units to which it
pertains, which number may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other
factors, provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made in the case of a Covered Employee
where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under
Section 162(m) of the Code.

          (b) The Performance Period with respect to each Performance Unit shall be such period of time
(not less than three years), commencing with the Date of Grant as shall be determined by the
Committee at the time of grant. The Performance Period may be subject to earlier lapse or other
modification in the event of a change in control of the Company or other similar transaction or
event specified in the Evidence of Award.

          (c) Any grant of Performance Units shall specify Management Objectives that must be achieved
as a condition to the payment or early payment of the award, and each grant may specify in respect
of such specified Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement and shall set
forth a formula for determining the number of Performance Units that will be earned if performance
is at or above the minimum level, but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management
Objectives. The grant of Performance Units shall specify that, before Performance Units shall be
earned and paid, the Committee must certify that the Management Objectives have been satisfied.

          (d) Each grant of Performance Units shall specify the time and manner of payment of
Performance Units that have been earned. Any grant may specify that the amount payable with respect
thereto may be paid by the Company in cash, in shares of Common Stock or in any combination thereof
and may either grant to the Eligible Participant or retain in the Committee the right to elect
among those alternatives.

          (e) Any grant of Performance Units may specify that the amount payable or the number of shares
of Common Stock issued with respect thereto or any combination thereof may not exceed a maximum
amount or number, as applicable, specified by the Committee on the Date of Grant.

          (f) Each grant of Performance Units shall be evidenced by an Evidence of Award containing such
terms and provisions, not inconsistent with this Plan, as the Committee may approve.

additional one-fifth of such shares of Common Stock after each of the next four successive years
thereafter so long as the holder of the Option Right has served continuously as a Director. Such
Option Rights shall become exercisable in full immediately in the event of a change in control of
the Company or other similar transaction or event specified in the Evidence of Award. Each such
Option Right granted under this Plan shall expire 10 years from the Date of Grant and shall be
subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided.

               (iii) In the event of the termination of service on the Board by the holder of any such Option

               (vii) Successive grants of Option Rights may be made to a Non-Officer Director whether or not
Option Rights previously granted to such Non-Officer Director remain outstanding.

               (viii) Each grant of Option Rights under this Section 8 shall be evidenced by an Evidence of
Award containing the foregoing terms and conditions and such other terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with this Plan, as the Committee may approve.

     9. Transferability.

          (a) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no Option Right, Appreciation Right,
Restricted Share Unit or other derivative security granted under this Plan shall be transferable by
an Eligible Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as
otherwise determined by the Committee, Option Rights and Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable
during the Optionee’s lifetime only by him or her or by his or her guardian or legal
representative.

          (b) The Committee may specify on the Date of Grant that part or all of the shares of Common
Stock that are (i) to be issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of Option Rights or
Appreciation Rights, upon payment under any grant of Performance Units, or upon the lapse of the
Restriction Period referred to in Section 6(b) or (ii) no longer subject to the substantial risk of
forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 6(a) of this Plan, shall be subject
to further restrictions on transfer.

     10. Adjustments. The Committee may make or provide for such adjustments in the numbers of
shares of Common Stock covered by any outstanding Restricted Stock Unit, Option Rights or
Appreciation Rights, in the Option Price and Base Price provided in outstanding Appreciation
Rights, and in the kind of shares of Common Stock covered thereby, as the Committee, in its sole
discretion, exercised in good faith, may determine is equitably required to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the rights of Eligible Participants or Optionees that otherwise would result from
(a) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares of Common Stock, recapitalization or
other change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off,
split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other
distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other
corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing. Moreover, in the
event of any such transaction or event, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in
substitution for any or all outstanding awards under this Plan such alternative consideration as
it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection
therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced. The Committee may also make or provide for such
adjustments in the numbers and kind of shares of Common Stock specified in Section 3 of this Plan,
and numbers of Option Rights issuable pursuant to Section 8 of this Plan, as the Committee in its
sole discretion, exercised in good faith, may determine is appropriate to reflect any transaction
or event described in this Section 10, provided, however, that any such adjustment to the number
specified in Section 3(c)(i) of this Plan shall be made only if and to the extent that such
adjustment would not cause any option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail so
to qualify.

12

 

     11. Governing Law. This Plan and all awards granted and actions taken thereunder shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of
Delaware.

     12. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any fractional shares of
Common Stock pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or
for the settlement of fractions in cash.

     13. Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state,
local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by an Eligible
Participant or other person under this Plan, and the amounts available to the Company for such
withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the
realization of such benefit that the Eligible Participant or such other person make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld, which
arrangements (in the discretion of the Committee) may include relinquishment of a portion of such
benefit. Eligible Participants shall also make such arrangements as the Company may require for the
payment of any withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of
shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of Option Rights. In no event, however, shall the
Company accept shares of Common Stock for payment of taxes in excess of required tax withholding
rates, except that, in the discretion of the Committee, an Eligible Participant may surrender
shares of Common Stock that have been owned by such Eligible Participant for a period of time
acceptable to the Committee to satisfy any tax obligations resulting from any such transaction.

     14. Participation by Employees of a Less-Than-80% Subsidiary. As a condition to the
effectiveness of any grant or award to be made hereunder to an Eligible Participant who is an
employee of a Less-Than-80% Subsidiary, regardless whether such Eligible Participant is also
employed by the Company or another Subsidiary, the Committee may require the Less-Than-80%
Subsidiary to agree to transfer to the Eligible Participant (as, if and when provided for under
this Plan and any applicable agreement entered into between the Eligible Participant and the
Less-Than-80% Subsidiary pursuant to this Plan) the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
delivered by the Company upon receipt by the Less-Than-80% Subsidiary of any consideration then
otherwise payable by the Eligible Participant to the Company. Any such award may be evidenced by an
Evidence of Award between the Eligible Participant and the Less-Than-80% Subsidiary, in lieu of the
Company, on terms not inconsistent with this Plan and approved by the Committee and the
Less-Than-80% Subsidiary. All shares of Common Stock so delivered by or to a Less-Than-80%
Subsidiary will be treated as if they had been delivered by or to the Company for purposes of
Section 3 of this Plan, and all references to the Company in this Plan shall be deemed to refer to
the Less-Than-80% Subsidiary except with respect to the definitions of the Board and the Committee
and in other cases where the context otherwise requires.

     15. International Employees. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of
grants under this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for awards to Eligible
Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed by the Company or any Subsidiary outside
of the United States of America, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to
accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom.

13

 

Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or
alternative versions of, this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes
without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided,
however, that no such supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions shall include
any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as then in effect, unless this
Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the
stockholders of the Company.

     16. Administration of this Plan. This Plan shall be administered by one or more committees of
the Board, as determined by the Board. Each committee shall be deemed a “Committee” hereunder and
shall have the authority delegated to it by the Board from time to time. The interpretation and
construction by the Committee of any provision of this Plan or of any Evidence of Award and any
determination by the Committee pursuant to any provision of this Plan or of any Evidence of Award
shall be final and conclusive. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any such action or
determination made in good faith.

     17. Amendments, Etc.

          (a) The Committee may at any time and from time to time amend this Plan in whole or in part;
provided, however, that any amendment that must be approved by the stockholders of the Company in
order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or, if the shares
of Common Stock are not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the principal securities exchange
upon which the shares of Common Stock are then traded or quoted (the “Applicable Exchange Rules”),
shall not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained. Presentation of this Plan
or any amendment hereof for stockholder approval shall not be construed to limit the Company’s
authority to offer similar or dissimilar benefits under other plans without stockholder approval to
the extent permitted under applicable law or Applicable Exchange Rules. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Committee may amend this Plan to eliminate provisions which are no longer necessary
as a result of changes in tax or securities law or regulations or in financial accounting
principles, or in the interpretation thereof.

          (b) The Evidence of Award evidencing any outstanding award may, with the concurrence of the
affected Eligible Participant, be amended by the Committee, provided that the terms and conditions
of each Evidence of Award and amendment are not inconsistent with this Plan and that no amendment
shall adversely affect the rights of an Eligible Participant with respect to any outstanding award
without the Eligible Participant’s consent.

          (c) The Committee shall not, without the further approval of the stockholders of the Company,
authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option Right to reduce the Option Price or authorize the
amendment of any outstanding Appreciation Right to reduce the Base Price. Furthermore, no Option
Right or Appreciation Right shall be cancelled by agreement between the Company and Eligible
Participant, in the case of Option Rights, and replaced with an award having a lower Option Price
without the further approval of the stockholders of the Company.

          (d) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which any Option Right
or Appreciation Right may be exercised, the time during which any Restricted

14

 

Shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or other restrictions on transfer, the
time at which the Restriction Period for a Restricted Share Unit lapses or the time at which any
Performance Units will be deemed to have been fully earned or may waive any other limitation or
requirement under any such award. The Committee may not, however, accelerate the time at which any
substantial risk of forfeiture or prohibition or restriction on transfer relating to any grant or
sale of Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units will lapse, without further approval of the
stockholders of the Company, except that such grant or sale may provide for the earlier termination
of such period in the manner provided in Section 6(a)(iii), 6(a)(v) or 6(b)(iii) of this Plan.

          (e) The Committee may permit Eligible Participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares of
Common Stock or the settlement of awards in cash under this Plan pursuant to such rules, procedures
or programs as it may establish for purposes of this Plan. The Committee may provide that such
deferred issuances and settlements include the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents or
interest on the deferral amounts.

          (f) The Committee may condition the grant of any award or combination of awards authorized
under this Plan on the surrender or deferral by the Eligible Participant of his or her right to
receive a cash bonus or other compensation otherwise payable by the Company or a Subsidiary to the
Eligible Participant.

          (g) In the event an Eligible Participant shall have (i) been convicted of a criminal violation
involving fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with his or her duties or in the course of his
or her employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) committed intentional wrongful damage to
property of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iii) committed intentional wrongful disclosure of
secret processes or confidential information of the Company or any Subsidiary, and the Committee,
in good faith, shall determine that any such act shall have been demonstrably and materially
harmful to the Company, then notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, the
Committee may terminate any Option Rights or other awards under this Plan granted such Eligible
Participant. Any termination of Option Rights or other awards under this Section 17(g) shall be
effective at such time as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, but in any event no
earlier than the date the Committee makes the determination contemplated by this Section 17(g).

          (h) This Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible Participant any right with respect to
continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it
interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate
such Eligible Participant’s employment or other service at any time.

          (i) To the extent that any provision of this Plan would prevent any Option Right that was
intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option from qualifying as such, that provision shall be
null and void with respect to such Option Right. Such provision, however, shall remain in effect
for other Option Rights and there shall be no further effect on any provision of this Plan.

     18. Effective Date. This Plan shall be effective immediately; provided, however, that the
effectiveness of this Plan is conditioned on its approval by the stockholders of the Company

15

 

in accordance with applicable law within 12 months after the date this Plan is adopted by the
Board. All awards under this Plan shall be null and void if this Plan is not approved by the
stockholders within such 12-month period.

     19. Term. No awards shall be granted under this Plan after November 8, 2012. Any awards
previously granted under this Plan and outstanding subsequent to November 8, 2012 shall continue to
be governed by the provisions of this Plan.

Exhibit 10.3

HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED

2002 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT

FOR OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES

          THIS RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of                     , is entered
into between HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and                      (“Grantee”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings
assigned to those terms in the Company’s 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)

WITNESSETH:

          A. Grantee is                      an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company; and

          B. The execution of this Agreement in the form hereof has been authorized by the Compensation
and Option Committee of the Board (the “Committee”);

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the covenants and agreements set forth
in this Agreement, the Company and Grantee agree as follows:

	1.	 	Grant of Restricted Share Units. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions, and restrictions
set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee,
                     Restricted Share Units, (the “Grant”). Each Restricted Share Unit shall represent
the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(“Common Stock”). This Agreement constitutes an “Evidence of Award” under the Plan.
	 
	2.	 	Date of Grant. The effective date of the grant of the Restricted Share Units is                     .
	 
	3.	 	Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Share Units. Neither the Restricted Share Units
granted hereby nor any interest therein shall be transferable other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution.
	 
	4.	 	Vesting of Restricted Share Units.

	 	(a)	 	The Restricted Share Units shall become nonforfeitable on the
                     anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Date”) unless earlier
forfeited in accordance with Section 5.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(a) above, all
Restricted Share Units shall become immediately nonforfeitable upon the
occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below). A “Change in Control”
means the

 

 

	 	 	 	occurrence, before this Agreement terminates, of any of the following
events:

(i) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 25% or more
of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the
Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting
Shares”); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 4(b)(i), the
following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (A) any
issuance of Voting Shares directly from the Company that is approved by the
Incumbent Board (as defined in Section 4(b)(ii) below), (B) any acquisition
by the Company or a Subsidiary of Voting Shares, (C) any acquisition of
Voting Shares by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary or (D) any acquisition of Voting
Shares by any Person pursuant to a Business Combination that complies with
clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 4(b)(iii) below;

(ii) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the
“Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of
the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a Director after
the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s
stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors
then constituting the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by
approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named
as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be
deemed to have been a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this
purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a
result of an actual or threatened election contest (within the meaning of
Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act) with respect to the election or removal of
Directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

(iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, a sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
or other transaction (each, a “Business Combination”), unless, in each case,
immediately following the Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all
of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of Voting
Shares immediately prior to the Business Combination beneficially own,
directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the
then outstanding Voting Shares of the entity resulting from the Business
Combination (including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of
such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets either directly or through one or

2

 

more subsidiaries), (B) no Person (other than the Company, such entity
resulting from the Business Combination, or any employee benefit plan (or
related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company, any Subsidiary or
such entity resulting from the Business Combination) beneficially owns,
directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the combined voting power of the then
outstanding Voting Shares of the entity resulting from the Business
Combination and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of
directors of the entity resulting from the Business Combination were members
of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement
or of the action of the Board providing for the Business Combination; or

(iv) approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation
or dissolution of the Company, except pursuant to a Business Combination
that complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 4(b)(iii) hereof.

	5.	 	Forfeiture of Restricted Share Units.

	 	(a)	 	Except as otherwise described in this Section 5, any of the
Restricted Share Units that remain forfeitable in accordance with Section 4
hereof shall be forfeited if Grantee ceases for any reason to be employed by
the Company or a Subsidiary at any time prior to such shares becoming
nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 4 hereof, unless the Committee
determines to provide otherwise at the time of the cessation of Grantee’s
employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Grantee’s employment with
the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and
Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company or
a Subsidiary, by reason of (i) the transfer of Grantee’s employment among the
Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) an approved leave of absence of not more
than 90 days, or (iii) the period of any leave of absence required to be
granted by the Company under any law, rule, regulation or contract applicable
to Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any of the Restricted Share Units that remain forfeitable in
accordance with Section 4 shall be forfeited on the date that the Committee
determines that such Restricted Share Unites shall be forfeited under the
circumstances described in Section 17(g) of the Plan.

	6.	 	Payment of Restricted Share Units. At such time as the Restricted Share Units shall become
nonforfeitable as specified in this Agreement, shares of Common Stock underlying such
Restricted Share Units shall be transferred to the Grantee, except as otherwise provided in
Section 8[; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may settle the
award of Restricted Share Units wholly, or partly in cash].

3

 

	7.	 	Dividend, Voting and Other Rights. The Grantee shall have no rights of ownership in the
Restricted Share Units and shall have no voting rights with respect to such Restricted Share
Units until the date on which the shares of Common Stock are transferred to the Grantee
pursuant to Section 6 above and a stock certificate representing such shares of Common Stock
is issued to the Grantee. From and after the Date of Grant and until the earlier of (a) the
time when the Grantee receives the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Share
Units in accordance with Section 6 hereof or (b) the time when the Grantee’s right to receive
the Restricted Share Units is forfeited in accordance with Section 5 hereof, the Company shall
pay to the Grantee, whenever a normal cash dividend is paid on shares of Common Stock, an
amount of cash equal to the product of the per-share amount of the dividend paid times the
number of such Restricted Share Units.
	 
	8.	 	Retention of Common Stock by the Company. The shares of Common Stock underlying the
Restricted Share Units shall be released to the Grantee by the Company’s transfer agent at the
direction of the Company. At such time as the Restricted Share Units become nonforfeitable as
specified in this Agreement, the Company shall direct the transfer agent to forward all such
nonforfeitable shares of Common Stock to the Grantee except in the event that the Grantee has
notified the Company of his or her election to satisfy any tax obligations by surrender of a
portion of such shares, the transfer agent will be directed to forward the remaining balance
of shares after the amount necessary for such taxes has been deducted.
	 
	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 any shares of Common Stock or
other securities pursuant to this Agreement if the issuance thereof would, in the reasonable
opinion of the Company, result in a violation of any such law.
	 
	10.	 	Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this
Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the
income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) do not apply to Grantee. This Agreement and
the Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that
would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have
no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may
be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the
Company without the consent of the Grantee). In particular, to the extent the Restricted
Share Units become nonforfeitable pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 and the event causing the
Restricted Share Units to become nonforfeitable is the Grantee’s retirement or an event that
does not constitute a permitted distribution event under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code, then
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6 above, issuance of the Common Stock will
be made, to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, to
the Grantee on the earlier of (a) the Grantee’s “separation from service” with the Company
(determined in accordance with Section 409A); provided, however, that if the Grantee is a
“specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), the Grantee’s date of issuance of
the Common Stock shall be the date that

4

 

	 	 	is six months after the date of the Grantee’s separation of service with the Company, (b)
the end of the Restriction Period, or (c) the Grantee’s death. Reference to Section 409A of
the Code is to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will also
include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated
with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue
Service. This Section 10 applies only if the Grantee is a citizen or resident of the United
Sates or if the compensation is for services performed in the United States that is not
otherwise exempt from United States federal income taxation.

	11.	 	Relation to Other Benefits. Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee under this
Agreement shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may
be entitled.
	 
	12.	 	Relation to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the
event of any inconsistent provisions between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall
govern. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Plan. The Committee, acting pursuant to the Plan shall, except as expressly
provided otherwise herein, have the right to determine any questions which arise in connection
with this grant.
	 
	13.	 	Employment Rights. This Agreement shall not confer on Grantee any right with respect to the
continuance of employment or other services with the Company or any Subsidiary. No provision
of this Agreement shall limit in any way whatsoever any right that the Company or a Subsidiary
may otherwise have to terminate the employment of Grantee at any time.
	 
	14.	 	Communications. All notices, demands and other communications required or permitted
hereunder or designated to be given with respect to the rights or interests covered by this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been properly given or delivered when delivered personally
or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, U.S. mail or reputable
overnight carrier, with full postage prepaid and addressed to the parties as follows:

          Either the Company or Grantee may change the above designated address by written notice to the

	15.	 	Interpretation. The interpretation and construction of this Agreement by the Committee shall
be final and conclusive. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any such action or
determination made in good faith.

5

 

	16.	 	Amendment in Writing. This Agreement may be amended as provided in the Plan; provided,
however, that all such amendments shall be in writing.
	 
	17.	 	Integration. The Restricted Share Units are granted pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement is subject to all of the terms and
conditions of the Plan, a copy of which is available upon request and which is incorporated
herein by reference. As such, this Agreement and the Plan embody the entire agreement and
understanding of the Company and Grantee and supersede any prior understandings or agreements,
whether written or oral, with respect to the Restricted Share Units.
	 
	18.	 	Severance. 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.
	 
	19.	 	Governing Law. This Agreement is made under, and shall be construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Delaware.
	 
	20.	 	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
