XXXX XXXXX XXXXXX CORPORATION

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made effective as of the 23rd day of July 2002 (the “Grant Date”), between Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Corporation, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”), and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx (hereinafter called the “Participant”).

R E C I T A L S:

     WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Corporation 1997 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan; and

     WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the restricted stock award provided for herein (the “Restricted Stock Award”) to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Grant of the Restricted Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the additional terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant a Restricted Stock Award consisting of 300,000 Shares (hereinafter called the “Restricted Shares”). The Restricted Shares shall vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

     2. Vesting.

          (a) Subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company, the Restricted Shares shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to one fifth (1/5) of the Shares initially granted hereunder on each of the first five anniversaries of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the above vesting schedule results in the vesting of any fractional Shares, such fractional Shares shall not be deemed vested hereunder but shall vest and become nonforfeitable when such fractional Shares aggregate whole Shares.

          (b) (i) If the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined below) or by the Company without Cause (as defined below) (other than as a result of the Company’s election not to extend the Term of the Employment Agreement (as defined below) as contemplated by Section 2 of the Employment Agreement, or by reason of death or Disability (as defined below)), then the Restricted Shares shall vest with respect to the greater of (x) the percentage of Restricted Shares that otherwise would have vested on the next anniversary of the Grant Date if no such termination had occurred and (y) the percentage of Restricted Shares so that, in the aggregate, 150,000 Restricted Shares would then be vested hereunder.

               (ii) If the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than as set forth in Section 2(b)(i), then the Restricted Shares shall, to the extent not then vested, be forfeited by the Participant without consideration.

               (iii) For purposes of this Agreement the (x) the term “Employment Agreement” shall mean the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between the Participant and the Company dated as of July 23, 2002 and (y) the terms “Cause,” “Good Reason,” “Disability” and “Change of Control” shall have the respective meanings specified in such Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control (either as defined in Section 2(b)(iii) above or in the Plan), the Restricted Shares shall, to the extent not then vested and not previously forfeited, immediately become fully vested as contemplated by Section 13 of the Plan.

     3. Certificates. Certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares shall be issued by the Company and shall be registered in the Participant’s name on the stock transfer books of the Company promptly after the date hereof, but shall remain in the physical custody of the Company or its designee at all times prior to the vesting of such Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 2. As a condition to the receipt of this Restricted Stock Award, the Participant shall deliver to the Company a stock power, duly endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Shares. No certificates shall be issued for fractional Shares.

     4. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall be the record owner of the Restricted Shares until or unless such Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 2 hereof, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a common stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares; provided that (i) any cash or in-kind dividends paid with respect to the Restricted Shares which have not previously vested shall be withheld by the Company and shall be paid to the Participant only when, and if, such Restricted Shares shall become fully vested pursuant to Section 2 and (ii) the Restricted Shares shall be subject to the limitations on transfer and encumbrance set forth in Section 7. As soon as practicable following the vesting of any Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 2, certificates for the Restricted Shares which shall have vested shall be delivered to the Participant or to the Participant’s legal guardian or representative along with the stock powers relating thereto.

     5. Legend on Certificates. The certificates representing the vested Restricted Shares delivered to the Participant as contemplated by Section 4 above shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

     6. No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant the right to be retained in the employ of, or in any

2

consulting relationship to, the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss the Participant or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

     7. Transferability. The Restricted Shares may not, at any time prior to becoming vested pursuant to Section 2, be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

     8. Withholding. By accepting this Restricted Stock Award, the Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company for satisfaction of any applicable federal, state or local income tax, withholding requirements or like requirements, including the payment to the Company upon the vesting of the Restricted Shares (or such earlier or later date as may be applicable under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), or other settlement in respect of, the Restricted Shares of all such taxes and requirements and the Company shall be authorized to take such action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company’s counsel (including, without limitation, withholding vested Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant hereunder and/or withholding amounts from any compensation or other amount owing from the Company to the Participant ) to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

     9. Securities Laws. Upon the vesting of any Restricted Shares, the Participant will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Agreement.

     10. Notices. Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at the principal executive office of the Company and to the Participant at the address appearing in the personnel records of the Company for such Participant or to either party at such other address as either party hereto may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt thereof by the addressee.

     11. Choice of Law. THE INTERPRETATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
