1.    Vesting and Forfeiture.

(a)    The Company hereby grants to you, as of the Grant Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, an Award of Units in the amount specified in the Grant Notice. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1(b), each Unit will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to your continued Service for the Company or any Affiliate from the Grant Date through the applicable vesting date.

(b)    Vesting of the Units will be fully accelerated (i) upon the termination of your Service to the Company or any Affiliate due to your death or Disability, or (ii) on the date a Change in Control occurs, subject to your continued Service for the Company or any Affiliate from the Grant Date through the date of such Change in Control.

(c)    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Plan, upon the termination of your Service to the Company or any Affiliate, then this Award shall automatically terminate and all Units subject to this Award that have not yet vested shall be forfeited for no consideration.

(d)    Each Unit that vests will entitle you to receive one Share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.

2.    Nature of Units. The Units granted pursuant to this Award are bookkeeping entries only and do not provide you with any dividend, voting or other rights of a shareholder of the Company.

3.    Settlement of Units. As soon as practicable after any date on which Units vest, but no later than March 15 of the year following the calendar year in which the vesting date occurs, the Company shall cause to be issued to you (or your beneficiary or personal representative) one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Unit. The Company will pay any original issue or transfer taxes with respect to the issue and transfer of Shares to you pursuant to this Agreement, and all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection therewith. All Shares so issued will be fully paid and nonassessable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company will not be required to issue or deliver any Shares prior to the completion of such registration or

other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company may determine to be necessary or desirable.

4.    Transfer of Units. You may not assign or transfer the Units other than a transfer upon your death in accordance with your will, by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a beneficiary designation submitted in accordance with Section 6(d) of the Plan. Following any such transfer, the Units shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Units immediately prior to such transfer.

5.    Discontinuance of Service. This Agreement does not give you a right to continued Service with the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or any such Affiliate may terminate your Service at any time without regard to the effect it may have upon you under this Agreement.
