No
Entitlements.
(a)
No
Right to Continued Employment.
This
award is not an employment agreement, and nothing in this Award Agreement or
the
Plan shall (i) alter the Participant’s status as an “at-will” employee of the
Company, (ii) be construed as guaranteeing the Participant’s employment by the
Company or as giving the Participant any right to continue in the employ of
the
Company during any period (including without limitation the period between
the
Date Of Grant and the applicable vesting date in accordance with Section 3)
or
(iii) be construed as giving the Participant any right to be reemployed by
the
Company following any termination of Employment.

No
Right to Future Awards.
This
award of Restricted Stock and all other equity-based awards under the Plan
are
discretionary. This award does not confer on the Participant any right or
entitlement to receive another award of Restricted Stock or any other
equity-based award at any time in the future or in respect of any future
period.
(c)
No
Effect on Future Employment Compensation.
The
Company has made this award of Restricted Stock to the Participant in its sole
discretion. This award does not confer on the Participant any right or
entitlement to receive compensation in any specific amount for any future fiscal
year, and does not diminish in any way the Company’s discretion to determine the
amount, if any, of the Participant’s compensation. In addition, this award of
Restricted Stock is not part of the Participant’s base salary or wages and will
not be taken into account in determining any other employment-related rights
the
Participant may have, such as rights to pension or severance pay.
14.
Taxes
and Withholding.
No later
than the date as of which an amount with respect to the Restricted Stock first
becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for applicable income
tax purposes, the Participant shall pay to the Company or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any federal, state or local
taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in accordance with rules and
procedures established by the Committee, the minimum required withholding
obligations may be settled in Common Stock, including Common Stock that is
part
of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations
of
the Company to deliver the certificates for shares of Common Stock under this
Award Agreement shall be conditional upon such payment or arrangements and
the
Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any
such
taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant, including,
without limitation, by withholding shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon
vesting.
15.
Section
83(b) Election.
If,
within 30 days of the Date of Grant, the Participant makes an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code, or any successor section thereto, to be taxed with
respect to all or any portion of the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer
of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the
Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the
Participant shall deliver a copy of such election to the Company immediately
after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

16.

Amendments.
The
Board or the Committee shall have the power to alter, amend, modify or terminate
the Plan or this Award Agreement at any time; provided,

such termination, amendment or modification may adversely affect, in any
material respect, the Participant’s rights under this Award Agreement without
the Participant’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have
broad authority to amend this Award Agreement without the consent of the
Participant to the extent it deems necessary or desirable (i) to comply with
or
take into account changes in or interpretations of, applicable tax laws,
securities laws, employment laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws,

to taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, (iii) to take

property by the Company. Any amendment, modification or termination shall,

requirement for consent or other action with respect thereto by any such person.
The Committee shall give written notice to the Participant in accordance with
Section 17(a) of any such amendment, modification or termination as promptly
as
