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 Award Agreement and the rights of
Participant hereunder are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan and the powers of
the Committee therein provided. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined shall
have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

Shares”).
3. Restrictions on Transfer/Vesting Date. 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 date(s) for such Restricted Shares (the “Vesting
Date”), as identified below. On the applicable Vesting Date for the designated number of
Restricted Shares, the restriction on transfer and risk of forfeiture on such Restricted Shares
shall lapse and the Restricted Shares, if not previously forfeited pursuant to Section 4 below,
will become freely transferable under this Agreement and the Plan, subject only to such further

acceleration and/or such acceleration is in the best interests of the Company.

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 Affiliates (or between Affiliates) does not constitute a termination of
Participant’s employment. If Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates is
terminated by the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to the Vesting Date and due to
Participant’s death or Disability, all restrictions on the Restricted Shares will lapse and cease
to be effective, as of the date of termination of Participant’s employment..

time such dividends and distributions are made to the Company’s shareholders and (ii) exercise all
voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares, if the record date for the exercise of such
voting rights occurs on or after the Date of Grant hereunder and prior to any transfer or
forfeiture of such Restricted Shares.
