In the event of an Acquisition (as defined in the Plan) or upon any
involuntary termination of employment of the Grantee (other than an involuntary
termination for “cause” (as determined by the Company in its absolute
discretion)), any Restricted Stock Units that remain unvested at the time of
such Acquisition shall become fully vested at such time.  The Committee may at any time accelerate the
vesting schedule specified in this Section 2.

 

3.             Forfeiture.  If the
Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is voluntarily
terminated by the Grantee or involuntarily terminated for “cause” (as
determined by the Company in its absolute discretion) prior to vesting of
Restricted Stock Units granted herein, all Restricted Stock Units shall
immediately and automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company.

 

 

4.                                       Issuance of Shares of Stock; Rights as
Stockholder.

 

(a)                              As soon as practicable following each
vesting date, but in no event later than 30  days after
each such vesting date, the Company shall direct its transfer agent to issue to
the Grantee in book entry form the number of shares of Stock equal to the
number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee that have vested
pursuant to Section 2 of this Award Agreement on such date in satisfaction
of such Restricted Stock Units.  Such
issuance may be effected by the Company directing its transfer agent to deposit
such shares of Stock into the Grantee’s brokerage account.  The Grantee’s cost basis in any shares of
Stock issued hereunder shall be $0.00.

 

(b)                             In each instance above, the issuance of
shares of Stock shall be subject to the payment by the Grantee by cash or other
means acceptable to the Company of any federal, state, local and other
applicable taxes required to be withheld in connection with such issuance in
accordance with Section 7 of this Award Agreement.

 

(c)                              The Grantee understands that (i) the
Grantee shall have no rights with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the
Restricted Stock Units, such as voting rights, dividend rights and dividend
equivalent rights, unless and until such shares of Stock have been issued to
the Grantee as specified in Section 4(a) hereof and (ii) once
shares have been delivered by book entry to the Grantee in respect of the
Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee will be free to sell such shares of Stock,
subject to applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and
Company policy.

 

5.                                       Incorporation of Plan. 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award Agreement
shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan,
including the powers of the Committee set forth in Section 2(b) of
the Plan.  Capitalized terms in this
Award Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a
different meaning is specified herein.

 

6.                                       Transferability of this Award Agreement. 
This Award Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and
is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

 

7.                                       Tax Withholding. 
This Section 7 applies only to Grantees who are subject to U.S.
Federal tax withholding.  The Grantee shall,
not later than the date (the “Taxation Date”) as of which the receipt of this
Award becomes a taxable event for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (if
applicable to Grantee), pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to
the Committee for payment of any U.S. Federal, state, and local taxes required
by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event.  The Grantee may elect to have the required
minimum tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing
the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued, or (ii) transferring
to the Company, a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value
that would satisfy the withholding amount due.  
Unless the Grantee shall have otherwise notified the Company in writing
to it Chief Financial Officer at least 30 days prior to a Taxation Date, the
Grantee shall be deemed to have elected to satisfy such obligation in the
manner set forth in clause (i) of the prior sentence.  Notwithstanding the 

 

2

 

foregoing,
the Company may require that such obligation be satisfied in cash by the
Grantee upon notice to Grantee at least 30 days prior to the Taxation Date.

 

8.                                       No Obligation to Continue Service
Relationship.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is
obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Award Agreement to continue the
Grantee in employment or other service relationship and neither the Plan nor
this Award Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company
or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or other service relationship of
the Grantee at any time.

 

9.                                       Notices.  Notices
hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of
business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Grantee at the address on file
with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may
subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.
