AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and representations herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Plan Governs; Capitalized Terms. This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan, and the terms of the Plan are incorporated into this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan. References in this Agreement to any specific Plan provision shall not be construed as limiting the applicability of any other Plan provision.

THIS AWARD IS CONDITIONED ON GRANTEE SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, AND IS SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AGREEMENT.

3. Vesting.

(a) Generally. Subject to acceleration of the vesting of the Award or the forfeiture and termination of the Award pursuant to Sections 3(b), 3(c) or 3(d), a ratable portion of the Restricted Shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) shall vest and no longer be subject to any restrictions on transfer hereunder on the following dates, provided that Grantee remains in the continuous employment or other service of the Company or a Subsidiary (“Continuous Service”) from the Date of Grant through each of the following dates (each, a “Vesting Date”):

(i) [____________] on [____________];

(ii) [____________] on [____________]; and

(iii) [____________] on [____________].

The Company will retain possession of any certificate(s) representing such Shares, to hold the same in escrow until vested to facilitate the restrictions as to the Shares.

(b) Terminations. Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3(c) or as otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, upon a termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service for any reason prior to a Vesting Date, all unvested Restricted Shares shall be immediately forfeited. Any amount of the Award forfeited under this Section 3 shall be cancelled and shall terminate.

(c) Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control prior to a Vesting Date and during the Grantee’s Continuous Service, the vesting of the Restricted Shares will be governed by the applicable provisions of Section 20 of the Plan.

(d) Detrimental Activity. The forfeiture provisions of Section 19 of the Plan relating to Detrimental Activity shall apply to the Restricted Shares. This Section 3(d) shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service or the vesting of the Restricted Shares as provided herein.

(e) Voting and Dividends. Grantee may exercise full voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares, whether or not vested. Any dividends paid with respect to the Restricted Shares prior to vesting of the Restricted Shares shall be automatically deferred and accumulated by the Company in a bookkeeping account, and shall be paid to Grantee in cash (without interest) only at such times as the underlying Restricted Shares become vested in accordance with this Agreement, with Grantee’s right to payment of any such dividends being subject to the same risk of forfeiture, restrictions on transferability and other terms of this Agreement as are the Shares with respect to which the dividends otherwise were payable.

2

(e) Restriction on Transfer. Grantee may not transfer any of the Restricted Shares prior to the applicable Vesting Date, except by the laws of descent and distribution.

4. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Withholding Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to (i) withhold and deduct from Grantee’s wages (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to Grantee from the Company, including withholding from any cash dividends paid in connection with the vesting of Restricted Shares hereunder), or make other arrangement for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy the minimum statutory Federal, state and local withholding tax obligation (including the FICA taxes) attributable to the Restricted Shares, including, without limitation, the award or vesting of, or payments of dividends with respect to, the Restricted Shares; or (ii) require Grantee promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company. Unless the Committee provides otherwise, the minimum statutory withholding obligations may be satisfied by withholding Shares to be received or by delivery to the Company of previously-owned Shares. Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such Shares or release such Shares from any escrow provided for herein.

(b) No Retention Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any Subsidiary for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company or of Grantee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Grantee’s employment or service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

(c) Inconsistency. To the extent any terms and conditions herein conflict with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control.
