The SAR represents the right to receive cash upon exercise equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised and (ii) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of exercise over (B) the Exercise Price specified above (such cash payment being referred to as a “SAR Payment”). The effective “Date of Grant” will be              ,         , subject to your promptly signing and returning a copy of this Agreement (as defined below) to the Company.

This Cash-Based Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Award of the SAR and the SAR Payment are made in consideration of your employment with the Company (as hereafter defined) and are subject to any applicable terms of the written employment arrangements, or successor agreement, as amended from time to time, to which you are subject (“Employment Agreement”), if applicable, between you (the “Employee”) and the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (the “Employer”). This Agreement incorporates the Plan and any terms and conditions relating to the SAR or the Award contained in the Employment Agreement (if applicable) by reference, and specifies other applicable terms and conditions of your SAR. You agree to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company concerning any questions arising under this Agreement or the Plan with respect to the Award.

GLOSSARY

(a) [RESERVED FOR DEFINED TERMS]

(b) “Service” means your employment or other Service relationship with the Company or your Employer so long as your Employer is an Affiliate of the Company, except that if you cease to be a “common law employee” of the Company or any of its Affiliates but you continue to provide bona fide Services (which shall not include any period of salary continuation commencing after termination due to your Employment Agreement (if applicable) or any Company severance plan) to the Company or any of its Affiliates following such cessation in a different capacity, including without limitation as a director, consultant or independent contractor, then a termination of your employment or Service relationship will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement upon such change in capacity. In the event that your employment or Service relationship is with a business, trade or entity that, after the Grant Date, ceases for any reason to be part of the Company or an Affiliate, your employment or Service relationship will be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this Agreement upon such cessation if your employment or Service relationship does not continue uninterrupted immediately thereafter with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

- 7 -

(c) “You,” “Your” means the recipient of the Award as reflected in the first paragraph of this Agreement. Whenever the word “you” or “your” is used in any provision of this Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed, as determined by the Committee, to apply to the estate, personal representative, or beneficiary to whom the Award may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, the words “you” and “your” will be deemed to include such person.
