RECITALS:
A. The Company has adopted the 1997 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which the Company
may grant employees and non-employee trustees of the Company certain equity-based awards.
B. Participant is an employee or non-employee trustee of the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries and the Company desires to encourage Participant to own Shares and to give Participant
added incentive to advance the interests of the Company, and desires to grant Participant
Restricted Shares of the Company under the terms and conditions established by the Board.
C. On the Date of Grant, set forth above, the Committee approved the grant of restricted
Common Shares of the Company (the “Restricted Shares”) to Participant in the amount, and subject to
the terms and conditions, set forth herein.
AGREEMENT:
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Plan. All provisions of this Agreement and the rights of
Participant hereunder are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan and the powers of
the Board and the Committee therein provided. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not
defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
2. Grant of Restricted Shares. Subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth
in this Agreement and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to Participant that number of
Restricted
Shares identified above opposite the heading “Number of Restricted Shares Granted”.
3. Restrictions on Transfer/Period of Restriction. Subject to any exceptions set
forth in this Agreement or in the Plan, the Restricted Shares or the rights relating thereto may
not be sold, transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, prior to the vesting dates for such Restricted Shares
(the “Vesting Dates”), as identified below. On the Vesting Dates, such restriction on transfer
shall lapse to the extent set forth herein and the Restricted Shares subject to such lapsed
restriction, if not previously forfeited pursuant to Section 4 below, will become freely
transferable under this Agreement and the Plan, subject only to such further limitations on
transfer, if any, as may exist under applicable law or any other agreement binding upon
Participant. Subject to any exceptions listed in this Agreement or in the Plan, the Restricted
Shares shall become vested in accordance with the schedule set forth below:
| Anniversary of Date of Grant | Percentage of Shares Vested | |
| ___% | ||
| ___% | ||
| ___% |
The Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the Vesting Date for any or all of the
Restricted Shares, if in its judgment the performance of Participant has warranted such
acceleration and/or such acceleration is in the best interests of the Company.
4. Forfeiture Prior to Vesting. Unless otherwise provided below or in any other
agreement to which the Company and Participant are now or hereafter become parties, if
Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason
(a “Termination of Employment”) after the Date of Grant but before the Restricted Shares become
fully vested pursuant to Section 3 above (the “Restricted Period”), Participant will thereupon
immediately forfeit all unvested Restricted Shares, and the full ownership of such Restricted
Shares and rights will revert to the Company. Upon such forfeiture, Participant shall have no
further rights under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, transfer of employment
between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries does not constitute a Termination of Employment.
5. Certificates. The Restricted Shares shall be issued in the name of Participant or
a nominee of Participant as of the Date of Grant. The Company may, at its election, issue one or
more certificates evidencing such Restricted Shares or issue such shares in book-entry only until
the expiration of the Restricted Period. Certificates representing the Restricted Shares shall
bear a legend similar to the following:
