The parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Employment with the Company. Except as may otherwise be provided in

Participant remains an Employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries from the Date
of Grant through (and including) the vesting date, as set forth in Section 2

This grant of RSUs shall not confer any right to the Participant (or any

2. Vesting. RSUs shall vest one hundred percent (100%) at the end of the
seventh anniversary following the Date of Grant; provided, however, if the
predetermined Annual Share Price Targets (as set forth on page 1) are achieved
and you remain employed by the Company, vesting of the RSUs shall accelerate as
follows:
(a) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of RSUs granted
shall vest on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant (i.e.,
you must be employed by the Company on such anniversary date and
achieve the Annual Share Price Target to vest) if the closing
price of the Company's stock is at least equal to forty-two
dollars and fifty-nine cents ($42.59) for any period of sixty
(60) consecutive calendar days during the calendar year preceding
the first anniversary.
(b) Fifty percent (50%) of the total number of RSUs granted, less the
number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest on the second
anniversary of the Date of Grant (i.e., you must be employed by
the Company on such anniversary date and achieve the Annual Share
Price Target to vest) if the closing price of the Company's stock
is at least equal to forty-six dollars and eighty-five cents
($46.85) for any period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days
preceding the second anniversary.
(c) Seventy-five percent (75%) of the total number of RSUs granted,
less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest on the
third anniversary of the Date of Grant (i.e., you must be
employed by the Company on such anniversary date and achieve the
Annual Share Price Target to vest) if the closing price of the
Company's stock is at least equal to fifty-one dollars and
fifty-four cents ($51.54) for any period of sixty (60)
consecutive calendar days preceding the third anniversary.
(d) One hundred percent (100%) of the total number of RSUs granted,
less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest on the
fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant (i.e., you must be
employed by the Company on such anniversary date and achieve the
Annual Share Price Target to vest) if the closing price of the
Company's stock is at least equal to fifty-six dollars and
sixty-nine cents ($56.69) for any period of sixty (60)
consecutive calendar days preceding the fourth anniversary.
(e) One hundred percent (100%) of the total number of RSUs granted,
less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest at any
time up to and including the fifth anniversary of the Date of
Grant if the closing price of the Company's stock is at least
equal to sixty-two dollars and thirty-six cents ($62.36) for any
period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days preceding the
fifth anniversary. Unless otherwise elected in a properly
executed Deferral Election Form, payout will occur as soon as
administratively feasible after fulfilling the Annual Share Price
Target goal.

(f) One hundred percent (100%) of the total number of RSUs granted,
less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest at any
time up to and including the sixth anniversary of the Date of
Grant if the closing price of the Company's stock is at least
equal to sixty-eight dollars and fifty-nine cents ($68.59) for
any period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days preceding the
sixth anniversary. Unless otherwise elected in a properly
executed Deferral Election Form, payout will occur as soon as
administratively feasible after fulfilling the Annual Share Price
Target goal.
(g) One hundred percent (100%) of the total number of RSUs granted,
less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest at any
time up to and including the seventh anniversary of the Date of
Grant if the closing price of the Company's stock is at least
equal to seventy-five dollars and forty-five cents ($75.45) for
any period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days preceding the
seventh anniversary. Unless otherwise elected in a properly
executed Deferral Election Form, payout will occur as soon as
administratively feasible after fulfilling the Annual Share Price
Target goal.
The following table summarizes the vesting treatment of a hypothetical
grant of 1,000 RSUs, based upon whether or not annual Share Price Targets are
achieved.

3. Timing of Payout. Payout of all RSUs shall occur as soon as
administratively feasible after vesting, unless a Participant elects to defer
the payout of RSUs upon vesting by completing in writing and returning to the
Company an irrevocable deferral election form within six (6) months of the Date
of Grant.
4. Form of Payout. Vested RSUs will be paid out solely in the form of
shares of stock of the Company.
5. Voting Rights and Dividends. Until such time as the RSUs are paid out
in shares of Company stock, the Participant shall not have voting rights.
Further, no dividends shall be paid on any RSUs.

6. Termination of Employment. In the event of the Participant's
termination of employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries for any reason
during the Period of Restriction, all RSUs held by the Participant at the time
of employment termination and still subject to the Period of Restriction shall
be forfeited by the Participant to the Company. However, the Committee may, in
its sole discretion, vest all or any portion of the RSUs held by the
Participant. For all previously vested RSUs that have been properly deferred,
payout shall occur upon the earlier to occur of the elected deferred vesting
date or the date of your employment termination for any reason.
7. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company during the Period
of Restriction and prior to the Participant's termination of employment, the
Period of Restriction imposed on the RSUs shall immediately lapse, with all such
RSUs vesting subject to applicable federal and state securities laws.
8. Restrictions on Transfer. Unless and until actual shares of stock of
the Company are received upon payout, RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement
may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated (a "Transfer"), other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, except as provided in the Plan. If any Transfer, whether voluntary
or involuntary, of RSUs is made, or if any attachment, execution, garnishment,
or lien shall be issued against or placed upon the RSUs, the Participant's right
to such RSUs shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant to the Company,
and this Agreement shall lapse.
9. Recapitalization. In the event of any change in the capitalization of
the Company such as a stock split or a corporate transaction such as any merger,
consolidation, separation, or otherwise, the number and class of RSUs subject to
this Agreement may be equitably adjusted by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.
10. Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, name
any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively)
to whom any benefit under this Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her
death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such
designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in
a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the
Participant in writing with the Secretary of the Company during the
Participant's lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits
remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's
estate.
11. Continuation of Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon the
Participant any right to continue employment with the Company or its
Subsidiaries, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the Company's
or its Subsidiaries' right to terminate the Participant's employment at any
time.

12. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are
subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same
may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and
regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the
Plan. The Committee shall have the right to impose such
restrictions on any shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement,
as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the
requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such
shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or
state securities laws applicable to such shares. It is expressly
understood that the Committee is authorized to administer,
construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to
the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which
shall be binding upon the Participant.
(b) The Committee may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan; provided,
however, that no such termination, amendment, or modification of
the Plan may in any material way adversely affect the
Participant's rights under this Agreement, without the written
consent of the Participant.
(c) The Participant may elect, subject to any procedural rules
adopted by the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement,
in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold and sell
shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date the tax
is to be determined, equal to the amount required to be withheld.
The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or
withhold from the Participant's compensation, or require the
Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to
satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the
Participant's FICA obligation), domestic or foreign, required by
law to be withheld with respect to any payout to the Participant
under this Agreement.
(d) The Participant agrees to take all steps necessary to comply with
all applicable provisions of federal and state securities laws in
exercising his or her rights under this Agreement.
(e) This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules,
and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental
agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
(f) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement,
with respect to the RSUs, shall be binding on any successor to
the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the
result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation,
or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company.
(g) To the extent not preempted by federal law, this Agreement shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
state of Delaware.
