2006 SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
GRANT TO: [NAME]
Section 1. Grant of Restricted Share Award.
(a) Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee on the Grant Date a Restricted Share Award bearing the terms set forth on the cover page of this Agreement is more fully described herein.
(b) Plan and Defined Terms. This award is granted under the Plan, which is incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms, unless defined in Section 7 or a prior Section of this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
Section 2. Issuance of Shares.
(a) Share Certificates. The Company shall cause to be issued certificates for the Restricted Shares representing this award, registered in the name of the Grantee (or in the names of such person and his spouse as community property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship). In connection with the execution of this Agreement the Grantee shall deliver to the Company a duly-executed blank share power in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) Voting Rights. The Grantee shall have voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares.
(c) Dividends. All share dividends, if any, that are paid on unvested Restricted Shares and all share dividends, if any, that are paid on any share dividends (any such share dividends, “Restricted Share Dividends”) and all cash dividends paid on unvested Restricted Shares (or on Restricted Share Dividends) (“Cash Dividends”) shall be treated as set forth in Section 3(b).
(d) Section 83(b) Election. If the Grantee chooses, the Grantee may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, which would cause the Grantee currently to recognize income for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the FMV of the award (determined as of the date of the award) over the Purchase Price (if any), which excess will be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The form for making a Section 83(b) election is attached as Exhibit B. The Grantee acknowledges that it is the Grantee’s sole responsibility to timely file the Section 83(b) election and that failure to file a Section 83(b) election within 30 days after the Grant Date may result in the recognition of ordinary income on any future appreciation on the Restricted Shares.
1
(e) Withholding Requirements. The Company may withhold any tax (or other governmental obligation) as a result of the grant of this award and/or the filing of a Section 83(b) election as a condition to the grant of this award, and the Grantee shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all such withholding requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may permit, in its sole discretion, the Grantee to satisfy any withholding obligation relating to the Restricted Shares by making a share withholding election in the manner described below. In order to make a share withholding election, effective as of the date (each a “Withholding Date”) on which a withholding obligation arises with respect to any of the Class A Common Shares included in the Restricted Shares (in each case, the “Taxable Shares”) the Grantee shall submit to the Company an executed share power in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A which the Company shall use to effect, as of the Withholding Date, the transfer to the Company of a number of vested Class A Common Shares owned and designated by the Grantee having a Designated Value which is equal to the product of the Grantee’s Withholding Rate multiplied by the aggregate Designated Value of the relevant Taxable Shares. If a share withholding election is permitted by the Company and made by the Grantee, the Company shall remit to the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state and local revenue agencies, for the credit of the Grantee, an amount of cash withholding equal to the product of the aggregate Designated Value of the Class A Common Shares so transferred to the Company. The “Designated Value” of the relevant Taxable Shares and Class A Common Share shall be determined as follows: (A) if the Withholding Date is a date during a week in which Class A Common Shares are publicly traded, the Designated Value of each Taxable Share and Class A Common Shares shall be the average market price of a Class A Common Share on the Withholding Date or, if the Withholding Date is not a trading day on US markets, the last trading day immediately preceding the Withholding Date and (B) if the Withholding Date is a date during a week in which the Class A Common Shares are not publicly traded, the Designated Value of each Taxable Share and Class A Common Share shall be the value of an unrestricted Class A Common Share as determined by an independent appraiser retained by the Company to perform a valuation with respect to the Company, or if no such valuation is completed, the Designated Value shall be the value of an unrestricted Class A Common Share reasonably established by the Company. The “Grantee’s Withholding Rate” shall be the minimum required federal, state and local withholding rate applicable with respect to the Taxable Shares as of the Withholding Date applicable to such Taxable Shares.
Section 3. Certain Restrictions. The following provisions shall apply to each Restricted Share until such share vests in accordance with Section 4:
(a) The certificate representing such Restricted Shares shall be held in custody by the Company and such shares shall not be assigned, sold, transferred or otherwise be subject to alienation by the Grantee or the Grantee’s spouse.
(b) All Restricted Share Dividends, all Cash Dividends and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (“Additional Property”), shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Shares to which such Restricted Share Dividend, Cash Dividend or Additional Property relates and will be held in custody by the Company on the same terms as such Restricted Shares.
(c) The certificate representing such Restricted Shares shall bear a legend that the securities are subject to a certain Share Award Agreement which provides, among

other things, for certain restrictions on the transfer and encumbrance of such securities, and for the vesting of such securities according to particular provisions.
(d) The holder of such Restricted Shares shall have no liquidation rights with respect thereto.
(e) In the event that the Grantee’s employment with the Company or the applicable Subsidiary thereof terminates prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date and such termination was by the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary thereof) for Cause or by the Grantee without Good Reason, then all unvested Restricted Shares (and all Restricted Share Dividends, Cash Dividends and Additional Property related to such unvested Restricted Shares) shall be forfeited, and all of the Grantee’s rights, or the rights of any spouse of such Grantee, to such unvested Restricted Shares (and such Restricted Share Dividends, Cash Dividends and Additional Property) shall terminate.
(f) In the event that the Grantee’s employment with the Company or the applicable Subsidiary thereof terminates for any reason other than as provided in Section 3(e), the vesting of unvested Restricted Shares as of the date of such termination shall be governed by Section (f) of Schedule A and all unvested Restricted Shares as of such date of termination which do not become vested as a result of the Application of such Section (f) shall be forfeited by the Grantee and redeemed and cancelled by the Company without consideration.
