(a) Restricted Stock Award. The Company hereby grants the Grantee 3600 Shares (“Granted Shares”), subject to restrictions and other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(b) No Purchase Price. In lieu of a purchase price, this award is made in consideration of Service previously rendered or to be rendered by the Grantee to the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Purchase Price of this award is $0.

(c) Plan and Defined Terms. This award is granted under and subject to the terms of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Capitalized terms that are defined in the Plan are incorporated herein by reference and other capitalized terms are defined in Section 8 of this Agreement.

SECTION 2. ISSUANCE OF GRANTED SHARES.

(a) Stock Certificates. The Company shall cause to be issued a certificate or certificates for the Granted Shares representing this award, registered in the name of the Grantee. Alternatively, the Company may cause a book entry to be made with the Company’s transfer agent evidencing the Granted Shares registered in the name of the Grantee.

(b) Stockholder Rights. The Grantee (or any successor in interest) shall have all the rights of a stockholder (including, without limitation, voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to the Granted Shares, subject, however, to the restrictions of this Agreement.

(c) Form of Issuance and Escrow. For so long as Granted Shares are not vested, the Company shall cause such certificate or certificates to be deposited in escrow if certificates are issued. If evidenced by book entry at the transfer agent the entry shall denote the shares are restricted as to transfer. The Grantee shall deliver to the Company a duly-executed blank Stock Power (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A). All regular cash dividends paid on Granted Shares shall be held in escrow, without interest, until the applicable vesting date, upon which the dividends attributable to Granted Shares that have vested shall be paid directly to the Grantee. Upon the vesting of any Granted Shares, such Vested Shares together with any dividends held in escrow related thereto hereunder, shall be distributed to the Grantee as soon as practicable.

(d) Withholding Requirements. As a condition to the receipt of Granted Shares, the Grantee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding obligations that may arise in connection with such receipt and the vesting and disposition of Granted Shares or at the election of the Grantee, the Grantee may direct the Company to withhold Shares in order to satisfy any withholding requirements.

SECTION 4. TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

In the event that the Grantee’s Service is terminated for any reason, (i) all Vested Shares as of the date of such termination shall remain outstanding, and (ii) all remaining Granted Shares (and all dividends held in escrow attributable to such Granted Shares) as of the date of such termination shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled.

SECTION 5. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, all Granted Shares held by the Grantee shall no longer be subject to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, and shall vest immediately upon the consummation of the Change in Control.

SECTION 6. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of the Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Shares into a less number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off, a reclassification or a similar occurrence, the terms of this award (including, without limitation, the number and kind of Shares subject to this award) shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 10 of the Plan. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation, this award shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation, as provided in Section 10 of the Plan.

SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) No Retention Rights. Nothing in this award or in the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere

with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Subsidiary employing the Grantee) or of the Grantee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without Cause.
