committee to administer the Plan. The applicable terms of the Plan are
incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and
not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Plan.
Pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Plan, on January 2, 2004, the Committee
decided to make the Awards of the Company's Common Stock, par value $1 per share
(the "Common Shares") to you, as described above and subject to the terms and
conditions described below:
- You must be employed by the Company on January 2 of the applicable
year set forth above in order to receive the grant of Restricted
Shares for that year.
- Shares will be issued upon approval of the company's year-end
financial results by the Audit Committee. The Committee may withhold
the granting of any annual award based on the company remaining
solvent.
1. Restrictions on Disposition of Common Shares
A certificate evidencing the Common Shares shall be held by the Company
until the lapse of the restrictions and shall contain the following legend on
the face thereof:

Upon satisfaction of the restrictions pursuant to Section 2 of this
Agreement, a share certificate without legend shall be delivered to you.
2. Restriction Period
The Committee has set a Restriction Period for the Common Shares subject

detailed above. As provided in the Plan, the Committee may, at any time and for
any reason, accelerate the Restricted Period on these grants. The Committee also

Restricted Shares shall expire immediately and all such shares shall be

plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, employees of the Company or any

obligations, location of employment, responsibilities and/or title, at any time

or (ii) Disability, the Restricted Period with respect to grants of Restricted
Shares received in the current and prior years shall expire immediately upon the
Participant's termination of Employment and such Restricted Shares shall be
fully nonforfeitable; grants of Restricted Shares applicable to subsequent years
shall be forfeited as of the Participant's date of termination.
