APPENDIX A

To

Award Agreement for Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Right

This Award Agreement evidences the grant of a Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Right (the “SAR”) to Participant under the Plan.

Capitalized terms are defined in Section 7.

1.  SAR Shares; Adjustment

In the event of (a) a stock dividend or a stock split or reverse stock split (whether effected as a dividend or otherwise) or (b) an Extraordinary Distribution by Corporation, where the record date for such stock dividend, stock split, or Extraordinary Distribution is after the Grant Date, the Committee will, to the extent provided in Article 12 of the Plan as it may be amended from time to time, adjust the number of SAR Shares proportionately to reflect the effect of such stock dividend, stock split or Extraordinary Distribution.

2.  Terms of the SAR

The SAR is subject to all applicable provisions of the Plan and to the following terms and conditions:

2.1                 Term.  The term of the SAR extends ten years from the Grant Date unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2                 Exercisability.  The SAR initially will not be exercisable and, unless the SAR is terminated or canceled earlier or the exercisability of the SAR is accelerated in accordance with this Agreement, the SAR may be exercised from time to time with respect to a whole number of SAR Shares up to the following limits:

(a)                  Prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the SAR may not be exercised;

(b)                 During the one-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the SAR may be exercised with respect to up to one-third of the total SAR Shares;

(c)                  During the one-year period beginning on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, the SAR may be exercised with respect to up to two-thirds of the total SAR Shares; and

(d)                 On and after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the SAR may be exercised with respect to all the SAR Shares.

1

2.3                 Effect of Termination of Employment.  If Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason on or after the Grant Date, the term of the SAR shall end on Participant’s Termination Date or, if later, at the end of any applicable Continuation Period to the extent the SAR had become exercisable pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.8 of this Agreement on or prior to such Termination Date.  The SAR, to the extent not previously exercised, will be canceled automatically at the end of the applicable Continuation Period.

2.4                 Method of Exercise.  The SAR, or any portion thereof, may be exercised, to the extent it has become exercisable pursuant to this Agreement, by delivery of written notice to Corporation stating the number of SAR Shares as to which the SAR is being exercised.

2.5                 Other Documents.  Upon any exercise of the SAR, Participant must furnish Corporation before the closing of such exercise such other documents or representations as Corporation may require to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

2.6                 Settlement of SAR.  Upon exercise of the SAR for all or a portion of the SAR Shares after the SAR has become exercisable, Corporation will calculate the SAR Spread, the Tax Offset Amount, and the Net SAR Value and will convert the Net SAR Value into a whole number of SAR Settlement Shares based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Exercise Date, with any remaining portion of the Net SAR Value (representing the value of a fractional Share) credited as additional federal income tax withholding for the Participant’s benefit.  Within 10 days following the Exercise Date, Corporation will cause a stock certificate for the SAR Settlement Shares to be delivered to Participant.

2.7                 Transferability.

2.7.1        General.  Except as provided in Section 2.7.2, the SAR is not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant or, in the case Participant becomes legally incompetent, by Participant’s guardian or legal representative.  No assignment or transfer of the SAR in violation of the foregoing restriction, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law or otherwise, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, will vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right whatsoever, but immediately upon any attempt to assign or transfer the SAR, the SAR will terminate and be of no force or effect.  Whenever the word “Participant” is used in any provision of this Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to the executor, administrator, or the person or persons to whom this SAR may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, it will be deemed to include such person or persons.

2

2.7.2                Permitted Family Transfers.  The SAR may be transferred by Participant, without payment of consideration, to Participant’s immediate family members or lineal descendants (“Permitted Family Members”), to trusts for the benefit of Permitted Family Members, or to family partnerships or limited liability companies of which Participant and Permitted Family members are the only partners or members.  For purposes of this Section, a transfer of the SAR to a family partnership or limited liability company in exchange for a partnership or limited liability company interest will be deemed to be a transfer without payment of consideration.

2.8                         Acceleration of Vesting.

2.8.1                Change in Control.  Upon a Change in Control Date during the term of the SAR, the SAR will become fully exercisable to the extent it had not yet become exercisable.  This acceleration will not extend the date on which the SAR terminates.

2.8.2                Death or Disability.  In the event Participant dies or terminates Employment by reason of Disability during the term of the SAR, the SAR will become fully exercisable to the extent it had not yet become exercisable.

2.9                         Other Events.

2.9.1                Dissolution.  The SAR will terminate upon the effective date of a dissolution or liquidation of Corporation.

2.9.2                Merger.  In the event of a merger or consolidation in which Corporation is not the resulting or surviving corporation (or in which Corporation is the resulting or surviving corporation but becomes a subsidiary of another corporation), the SAR will automatically be converted into an SAR with respect to a number of shares of the stock of the resulting or surviving corporation (or, in the event Corporation becomes a subsidiary of another corporation, such other corporation) into which Corporation’s Shares are converted in the transaction with such terms and conditions, both as to number of shares, SAR price, and otherwise, as will substantially preserve the economic rights and benefits of Participant under this Agreement.

3.  Conditions Precedent

Corporation will use its best efforts to obtain approval of the Plan and this SAR by any state or federal agency or authority that Corporation determines has jurisdiction.  If Corporation determines that any required approval cannot be obtained, this SAR will terminate on notice to Participant to that effect.  Without limiting the foregoing, Corporation will not be required to issue any Shares upon exercise of all or any portion of the SAR until Corporation has taken all action required to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

4.  Successorship

Subject to restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.7, this Agreement will be binding upon and benefit the parties, their successors and assigns.

5.  Notices

Any notices under this SAR must be in writing and will be effective when actually delivered personally or, if mailed, when deposited as registered or certified mail directed to the address of Corporation’s records or to such other address as a party may certify by notice to the other party.

6.  Arbitration

Any dispute or claim that arises out of or that relates to this Agreement or to the interpretation, breach, or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be resolved by mandatory arbitration in accordance with the then effective arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, and any judgment upon the award rendered pursuant to such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
