Terms and Restrictions:

to make cash payments to the necessary taxing authorities.
(ii) Under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Service Code, you
have the option to elect to pay taxes on the full value of your award
without regard to the vesting schedule. Pursuant to Section 83(b) and
related Internal Revenue Service regulations applicable to restricted
property, you have 30 days from the effective date of this Award to notify
the Company of your election to be taxed under Section 83(b). Otherwise,
the Company will withhold and pay taxes to the regulatory agencies per the
vesting schedule.
The Company has no obligation, and takes no responsibility for, advising
you as to how you choose your Award Shares to be taxed. Each individual's
taxes may be personal and unique. Therefore, if you require additional
assistance on your tax alternatives, the Company urges you to seek outside
professional advice.
By your signature and the Company's signature below, you and the Company
agree that these Award Shares are granted under and governed by the terms
and conditions of the Company's 2004 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan
