a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the Shares and the
right to payment of any cash dividends or other distributions (including those

legends the Company determines to be appropriate. New certificates shall not be
delivered to you unless you have made arrangements satisfactory to the Committee
to satisfy tax-withholding obligations.
7. Not a Contract of Employment. By executing this Award, you
acknowledge and agree that (i) any person who is terminated before full vesting
of an award, such as the one granted to you by this Award, could claim that he
or she was terminated to preclude vesting; (ii) you promise never to make such a
claim; (iii) nothing in this Award or the Plan confers on you any right to
continue an employment, service or consulting relationship with the Company, nor
shall it affect in any way your right or the Company's right to terminate your
employment, service, or consulting relationship at any time, with or without
Cause; and (iv) the Company would not have granted this Award to you but for
these acknowledgements and agreements.
