For the purpose of encouraging Executive to have a proprietary interest in the Company through stock ownership, to continue in the service of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to render superior performance during the period from September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2014 (the “Performance Period”), the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company has determined that Performance Shares should be awarded under the 2012 LTIP to Executive; and

C. Any capitalized term used herein that is not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the 2004 Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE COMPANY AND EXECUTIVE INTENDING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD.

1.1 Grant of Performance Shares

(a) The Company hereby grants to Executive on October     , 2011 (the “Award Date”), subject to the terms and conditions of the 2012 LTIP, the 2004 Plan and this Agreement,                                          (            ) Performance Shares (the “Performance Shares”) as a Performance Share Award under the 2004 Plan. Each Performance Share represents the right to receive one Common Share on August 31, 2014 if the performance goals established pursuant to the 2012 LTIP (the “Performance Goals”) for the Company’s fiscal years ending August 31, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”), August 31, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”), and August 31, 2014 (“Fiscal 2014”) are satisfied, provided Executive is continuously employed by the Company through August 31, 2014 (the “Vesting Date”). Each of Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014 is referred to herein as a “Performance Year”, and one-third of the Performance Shares shall be allocated to each of the Performance Years. The number of Performance Shares actually delivered to Executive on the Vesting Date is subject to adjustment based on Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014 results as more fully set forth in the 2012 LTIP.

(b) For each Performance Share earned and vested, Executive will be awarded dividend equivalents on the Vesting Date (or such other date as the Performance Shares are paid pursuant to Section 1.4), with the dividends being calculated as if Executive had owned the shares from the Award Date through the Vesting Date (or such other date as the Performance Shares are paid pursuant to Section 1.4). The aggregate amount of dividend equivalents will be divided by the average closing price of the Common Shares in August 2014 (or such other month ending immediately prior to the month in which the Performance Shares are paid pursuant to Section 1.4) to arrive at the number of additional Common Shares Executive will receive.

(c) If there shall occur any recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other distribution with respect to the Common Shares, or any merger, reorganization, consolidation or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Shares, the Committee may, consistent with the terms of the 2004 Plan, cause an adjustment to be made in (i) the number and kind of Common Shares subject to the then outstanding Performance Shares, (ii) the Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Shares, and (iii) any other terms of the Performance Share Award that are affected by the event.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4, within two and one-half months following the Vesting Date, and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable conditions with respect to the Performance Share Award, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Executive the Common Shares that have been earned through achievement of the Performance Goals and that have become vesting in accordance with Section 1.1(a).

1.2 Restrictions

(a) Performance Shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned or subject any encumbrance, pledge, or charge or disposed of for any reason.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4, any Performance Shares for which the applicable Performance Goals have not been met shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force and effect. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4, any Performance Shares earned based on the achievement of Performance Goals for a Performance Year shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force and effect if Executive fails to satisfy the continuous employment requirement of Section 1.1(a).

(c) Any attempt to dispose of Performance Shares or any interest in such shares in a manner contrary to the 2004 Plan or this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.

1.3 Performance Goals

Subject to the provisions contained in Section 1.4, the Performance Goals for each Performance Year awarded herein shall be established as set forth in the 2012 LTIP.
