                    WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the restrictive stock award provided for herein to the Participant.

                    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

          1.      Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the grant of the restricted stock award hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto under the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

          2.      Grant of Restricted Stock Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, the number of Restricted Shares specified above. The Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s stockholder interest in the Company for any reason.


          3.      Vesting.

                    3.1           The Restricted Shares subject to this grant shall become unrestricted and vested as follows:

_______ shares to vest in ____ months from the date of the grant; and

_______shares to vest in ____ months from the date of the grant.

                    3.2           If the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (other than due to Disability, Retirement or death) prior to the vesting of all or any portion of the Restricted Shares awarded under this Agreement, such Restricted Shares shall immediately be cancelled and the Participant (and the Participant’s estate, designated beneficiary or other legal representative) shall forfeit any rights or interests in and with respect to any such Restricted Shares. The Board or the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine, prior to or within ninety (90) days after the date of any such termination, that all or a portion of any the Participant’s unvested Restricted Shares shall not be so cancelled and forfeited.

                    3.3           If the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries terminates due to the Participant's death, Disability or Retirement, the Participant shall become 100% vested in the Restricted Shares awarded under this Agreement as of the date of any such termination.

                    3.4           If the Participant's employer ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, that event shall be deemed to constitute a termination of employment under section 3.2 above.

          4.           Delivery of Restricted Shares. Subject to Section 8.3 of the Plan, if the Restricted Shares awarded by this Agreement become vested, the Participant shall be entitled to receive unrestricted shares of Common Stock. To avoid confusion, the restriction referenced hereto refers to the restriction posed by the Plan, as opposed to the restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933.

          5.           Non-transferability. Restricted Shares, and any rights and interests with respect thereto, issued under this Agreement and the Plan shall not, prior to vesting, be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Participant), other than by testamentary disposition by the Participant or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such Restricted Shares, and any rights and interests with respect thereto, shall not, prior to vesting, be pledged, encumbered or otherwise hypothecated in any way by the Participant (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Participant) and shall not, prior to vesting, be subject to execution, attachment or similar legal process. Any attempt to sell, exchange, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of or hypothecate in any way any of the Restricted Shares, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal process upon the Restricted Shares, contrary to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and/or the Plan shall be null and void and without legal force or effect.
