The parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Employment With the Company. Except as may otherwise be provided in Section 6, the RSUs granted hereunder are granted on the condition that the Participant remains an Employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries from the Date of Grant through (and including) the vesting date, as set forth in Section 2 (referred to herein as the “Period of Restriction”).
This grant of RSUs shall not confer any right to the Participant (or any other Participant) to be granted RSUs or other Awards in the future under the Plan.

2. Vesting. RSUs shall vest one hundred percent (100%) at the end of the seventh anniversary following the Date of Grant; provided, however, if the predetermined Share Price Targets (as set forth on page 1) are achieved and you remain employed by the Company, vesting of the RSUs shall accelerate as follows:
(a) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of RSUs granted shall vest on December 31, 2006 (i.e., you must be employed by the Company on such date and achieve the Share Price Target to vest) if the closing price of the Company’s stock is at least equal to fifty-three dollars and one cent ($53.01) for any period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days preceding December 31, 2006.
(b) Fifty percent (50%) of the total number of RSUs granted, less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest on December 31, 2007 (i.e., you must be employed by the Company on such date and achieve the Share Price Target to vest) if the closing price of the Company’s stock is at least equal to fifty-eight dollars and thirty-one cents ($58.31) for any period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days preceding December 31, 2007.
(c) Seventy-five percent (75%) of the total number of RSUs granted, less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest on December 31, 2008 (i.e., you must be employed by the Company on such date and achieve the Share Price Target to vest) if the closing price of the Company’s stock is at least equal to sixty-four dollars and fourteen cents ($64.14) for any period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days preceding December 31, 2008.
(d) One hundred percent (100%) of the total number of RSUs granted, less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest on December 31, 2009 (i.e., you must be employed by the Company on such date and achieve the Share Price Target to vest) if the closing price of the Company’s stock is at least equal to seventy dollars and fifty-six cents ($70.56) for any period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days preceding December 31, 2009.
(e) One hundred percent (100%) of the total number of RSUs granted, less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest at any time up to and including December 31, 2010 if the closing price of the Company’s stock is at least equal to seventy-seven dollars and sixty-one cents ($77.61) for any period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days preceding December 31, 2010. Unless otherwise elected in a properly executed Deferral Election Form, payout will occur as soon as administratively feasible after fulfilling the Share Price Target goal.
(f) One hundred percent (100%) of the total number of RSUs granted, less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest at any time up to and including December 31, 2011 if the closing price of the Company’s stock is at least equal to eighty-five dollars and thirty-seven cents ($85.37) for any period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days preceding December 31, 2011. Unless otherwise elected in a properly executed Deferral Election Form, payout will occur as soon as administratively feasible after fulfilling the Share Price Target goal.

(g) One hundred percent (100%) of the total number of RSUs granted, less the number of any RSUs previously vested, shall vest at any time up to and including September 16, 2012 if the closing price of the Company’s stock is at least equal to ninety-one dollars and eighty-two cents ($91.82) for any period of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days preceding September 16, 2012. Unless otherwise elected in a properly executed Deferral Election Form, payout will occur as soon as administratively feasible after fulfilling the Share Price Target goal.

3. Timing of Payout. Payout of all RSUs shall occur as soon as administratively feasible after vesting, but not sooner than three business days following vesting, unless a Participant elects to defer the payout of RSUs upon vesting by completing in writing and returning to the Company an irrevocable deferral election form within six (6) months of the Date of Grant.
4. Form of Payout. Vested RSUs will be paid out solely in the form of shares of stock of the Company.
5. Voting Rights and Dividends. Until such time as the RSUs are paid out in shares of Company stock, the Participant shall not have voting rights. Further, no dividends shall be paid on any RSUs.
6. Termination of Employment. In the event of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries for any reason during the Period of Restriction, all RSUs held by the Participant at the time of employment termination and still subject to the Period of Restriction shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Company. However, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, vest all or any portion of the RSUs held by the Participant. For all previously vested RSUs that have been properly deferred, payout shall occur upon the earlier to occur of the elected deferred vesting date or the date of your employment termination for any reason.
7. RESERVED

8. Restrictions on Transfer. Unless and until actual shares of stock of the Company are received upon payout, RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated (a “Transfer”), other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except as provided in the Plan. If any Transfer, whether voluntary or involuntary, of RSUs is made, or if any attachment, execution, garnishment, or lien shall be issued against or placed upon the RSUs, the Participant’s right to such RSUs shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant to the Company, and this Agreement shall lapse.
9. Recapitalization. In the event of any change in the capitalization of the Company such as a stock split or a corporate transaction such as any merger, consolidation, separation, or otherwise, the number and class of RSUs subject to this Agreement may be equitably adjusted by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.
10. Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Secretary of the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.
11. Continuation of Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right to continue employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ right to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan. The Committee shall have the right to impose such restrictions on any shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement, as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such shares. It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Participant.
(b) The Committee may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan; provided, however, that no such termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan may in any material way adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, without the written consent of the Participant.
(c) The Participant may elect, subject to any procedural rules adopted by the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having
4
the Company withhold and sell shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined, equal to the amount required to be withheld.
The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold from the Participant’s compensation, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation), domestic or foreign, required by law to be withheld with respect to any payout to the Participant under this Agreement.
(d) The Participant agrees to take all steps necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of federal and state securities laws in exercising his or her rights under this Agreement.
(e) This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
(f) All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement, with respect to the RSUs, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
(g) To the extent not preempted by federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Delaware.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed effective as of the Date of Grant.
