ARTICLE I.
PERFORMANCE UNITS

1.1    Grant of Performance Units. The Company hereby grants to Grantee a target number of ___________ Performance Units (the “Target Number of Performance Units), subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement. Each Performance Unit shall represent a right for the Grantee to receive one (1) share of Stock or cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as of the applicable Vesting Date. The “Performance Period” shall mean the period during which the performance criteria and conditions described on Exhibit B (the “Performance Criteria”) will be measured. The Performance Units shall remain unvested during the Performance Period.

1.2    Issue Price. The Grantee shall not be required to pay any issue price to the Company in exchange for the Performance Units granted hereunder or, as applicable, upon the issuance of shares of Stock hereunder.

1.3     Distributions and Voting Rights.

(a) All dividends and other distributions with respect to shares of Stock attributable to the Award that become payable during the Performance Period will accrue when declared and will be paid to the Grantee, in cash, only upon the settlement of the related Performance Units in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4 below.

(b) The Grantee shall not be entitled to vote shares of Stock attributable to the Award prior to the date(s) on which the Grantee becomes a shareholder of record for such shares of Stock.

1.4    Settlement of Award.

(a)    The Performance Units, to the extent vested, will be settled as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, but no later than the last day of the calendar year that includes the Vesting Date. Upon settlement, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee shares of Stock equal to the number of vested Performance Units or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. The date that the shares and/or cash are delivered shall be the “Settlement Date” of the vested Performance Units. No fractional Shares shall be issued to Grantee.

(b)    To the extent shares of Stock are issued in settlement of this Award, such shares shall be registered in the name of the Grantee and shall be held by Transfer Agent of the Company in an unrestricted shareholder account CTF1. The Company shall direct the Transfer Agent to provide a shareholder statement to the Grantee evidencing outright ownership to the Grantee (or the Grantee’s beneficiary in the event of the Grantee’s death, designated as provided in Section 4.8).

1.5    Vesting. Subject to Section 1.6 and achievement of the Performance Criteria during the Performance Period, the Performance Units granted under this Agreement will vest on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Date”). The number of Performance Units (if any) eligible to vest will be determined based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Criteria during the Performance Period, which shall be certified by the Committee as soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Period. The number of Performance Units that may vest ranges from fifty percent (50%) to one hundred fifty percent (150%) (the “Applicable Percentage”) of the Target Number of Performance Units, depending on actual performance during the Performance Period. In the event any Performance Units have not vested on the Vesting Date, the then-unvested Performance Units granted under this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited without consideration payable by the Company and the Grantee will have no further rights with respect thereto.

1.6    Forfeiture of Award. In addition to events of forfeiture described in Article III, in the event of Grantee’s Termination of Employment prior to the Vesting Date for any reason, this Award shall be forfeited in its entirety. Upon forfeiture, all rights of the Grantee and obligations of the Company hereunder shall be immediately terminated.    

ARTICLE II.
CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

If the Company is not the surviving corporation following a Change in Control, and the surviving corporation following such Change in Control or the acquiring corporation (such surviving corporation or acquiring corporation is hereinafter referred to as the “Acquiror”) does not assume the outstanding Award granted hereunder or does not substitute equivalent equity awards relating to the securities of such Acquiror or its affiliates for such Performance Units, then the Award shall become immediately and fully vested on the date of such Change in Control with respect to 100% of the Target Number of Performance Units. In addition, the Board of Directors or its designee may, in its sole discretion, provide for a cash payment to be made to the Grantee for the outstanding Award upon the consummation of the Change in Control, determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value that would be received in such Change in Control by the holders of the Company's securities relating to such shares of Stock.

If the Company is the surviving corporation following a Change in Control, or the Acquiror assumes the outstanding Award granted hereunder or substitutes equivalent equity awards relating to the securities of such Acquiror or its affiliates for such Performance Units, then the Award or such substitutes therefor shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms and the provisions of the Plan, provided, however, that such Award shall, subject to Section 1.6 hereof, become immediately and fully vested on the Vesting Date with respect to 100% of the Target Number of Performance Units without regard to the performance of the Company or the Acquirer following the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant’s Performance Units are assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, the Target Number of Performance Units will become immediately 100% vested in the event of a termination without Cause within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control.

(b)    The Committee may amend or modify the Award granted hereunder in any manner to the extent that the Committee would have had the authority under the Plan initially to grant the Award as so modified or amended; however, no such amendment or modification shall adversely alter or impair the Award granted hereunder without the consent of the Grantee.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan and the Agreement may be amended without any additional consideration to the Grantee to the extent necessary to comply with, or avoid penalties under, Section 409A of the Code, even if those amendments reduce, restrict or eliminate rights granted prior to such amendments.

4.3    No Right To Employment/Other Service. None of the actions of the Company in establishing the Plan, the actions taken by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Committee under the Plan, or the granting of the Award pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed (a) to create any obligation on the part of the Company or any Affiliate or on the Board of Directors of the Company or such Affiliate to retain the Grantee as an employee, consultant, director or other service provider or to nominate Grantee for election to the Board of Directors, or (b) to be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the person has a right to continue as an employee, consultant, other service provider, or non-employee director for any period of time or at any particular rate of compensation.

Unless otherwise provided in the beneficiary designation, each designation will revoke all prior designations made by the Grantee, must be made in such manner as prescribed by the Committee and will be effective only when received by the Committee (or its authorized delegate). If the Grantee has not made an effective beneficiary designation, the deceased Grantee’s beneficiary will be the Grantee’s surviving spouse or, if none, the deceased Grantee’s estate. The identity of a Grantee’s designated beneficiary will be based only on the information included in the latest beneficiary designation received by the Committee (or its authorized delegated) and will not be inferred from any other evidence.

The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Grantee to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state and local taxes required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Award granted hereunder, if any. No delivery of shares or cash shall be made unless and until appropriate arrangements for the payment of such taxes have been made. With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event arising as a result of the Award granted hereunder, the Grantee may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold shares of Stock of the Company having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction. Alternatively, the Grantee may elect for such taxes to be withheld from other compensation otherwise due to the Grantee from the Company and provided Grantee’s other compensation is sufficient to cover such taxes. All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing and signed by the Grantee, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. All such elections shall be made and filed with the Committee in the manner determined by the Committee on or before the Vesting Date, or such earlier date as shall be determined by the Committee. If an election has not been made by the Grantee, or the amount of the taxes required to be withheld has not been remitted by the Grantee to the Company on or before the Vesting Date, the Grantee hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from amounts payable under the Award cash or shares of Stock of the Company having a Fair Market Value equal to the tax required to be withheld.

4.11    Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan or this Agreement, and the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

4.12    Transfer Restrictions. The Performance Units issued to the Grantee hereunder may not be sold, transferred by gift, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred or disposed of by the Grantee prior to the Settlement Date.

and void and shall be disregarded. The terms of this Agreement and the Plan shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Grantee.
