Restricted Stock. A lump sum amount equal to the sum of # with respect to restricted shares and/or restricted share units granted to the Participant under any of the Equity Plans that were outstanding but not vested on the Relevant Date where such vesting of restricted shares and/or restricted share units was not determined by the attainment of performance goals, and which are forfeited as a result of the Participant's Separation from Service, an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Corporation (or such other equity security into which the restricted shares and/or restricted share units has been converted) on the date of Separation from Service, and # with respect to restricted shares and/or restricted share units granted to the Participant under any of the Equity Plans that were outstanding but not vested on the Relevant Date where such vesting of restricted shares and/or restricted share units was determined by the attainment of performance goals, and which are forfeited as a result of the Participant's Separation from Service, an amount equal to the Average PRSU Payout multiplied by the Fair Market Value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Corporation (or such other equity security into which the restricted shares and/or restricted share units has been converted) based on the number of PRSU grants which are forfeited due to the Qualified Termination of Employment. The Participant will also be paid an amount equal to the equivalent of the amount of any dividends and other distributions which would have been paid on the number of shares of common stock of the Corporation (or such other equity security into which the restricted shares and/or restricted share units has been converted) determined based on the Average PRSU Payout determined under this section. The forfeited restricted shares and/or restricted share units determined by the attainment of performance goals according to a schedule determined by the Committee will not be paid. For purposes of this subsection # the Average PRSU Payout shall mean the three year average of the target percentage paid with respect to the restricted shares and/or restricted share units determined by the attainment of performance goals (the “PRSU’s”) awards paid to the Participant under the Equity Plans, or any successor or additional plan. The three year average of the PRSU’s paid to the Participant will be determined based on the higher of two target percentage averages computed during alternative three year periods consisting of either # the year in which the Relevant Date occurred (or, if the award is not yet paid as of the Relevant Date, for the preceding year) and the two preceding years or, # the year of the Qualified Termination of Employment (or, if the award is not yet paid as of the Qualified Termination of Employment, for the preceding year) and the two preceding years. If a Participant has been paid less than three years of PRSU’s the three year average of the PRSU’s paid to the Participant will be determined based on the average target percentage of the PRSU’s paid in prior years to the Participant under the Equity Plans, or any successor or additional plan. If a Participant has not received any prior payment of PRSU’s, the Average PRSU Payout under the Equity Plans, or any successor or additional plan, will be determined as follows:

Restricted Stock. In the event of a business combination or other transaction of the type detailed in Section 15.1, any securities, cash or other property received in exchange for shares of Restricted Stock shall continue to be governed by the provisions of any Restricted Stock Agreement pursuant to which they were issued, including any provision regarding vesting, and such securities, cash, or other property may be held in escrow on such terms as the Board of Directors may direct, to insure compliance with the terms of any such Restricted Stock Agreement.

Restricted Stock. The Committee (or, with respect to Directors, the Board) may grant Awards of Restricted Stock which shall be evidenced by an Agreement between the Company and the Grantee. Each Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee or Board may require and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) such Agreements may require that an appropriate legend be placed on Share certificates. Awards of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and provisions:

The restricted stock grants shall be made following fiscal year end, after the compensation committee has had a reasonable amount of time to review the audited fiscal year end financials.

Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee a Restricted Stock Unit Award (“Award”) of restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) which confers upon the Grantee the right to earn up to #QuantityGranted# shares of Stock, determined as set forth in section 2 hereof, over the Retention Period. The period from and including #GrantDate# through and including #VestDate1# shall together constitute the “Retention Period.” The par value of the shares of Stock shall be deemed paid by the promise by the Grantee to perform future Service to the Company or an Affiliate. The Grantee’s right to receive shares of Stock shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan.

Restrictions – Forfeiture of Award Restricted Stock. The Award Restricted Stock is subject to restrictions, including that all rights of Holder to any shares of Restricted Stock which have not become Vested Shares shall automatically, and without notice, terminate and shall be permanently forfeited on the date of Holder’s Separation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is an applicable Post-Separation Change of Control, the previously forfeited Award Restricted Stock (and any corresponding Dividend Equivalent) shall be reinstated and become vested and, for all purposes of this Award, Holder will be deemed to have Separated on the day after such Post-Separation Change of Control.

Effective Date; Restricted Stock Unit Award. Provided the Company receives this Agreement duly signed by the Participant by [Date], this Agreement shall take effect [Date], which is the date of grant of the Award (the “Grant Date”). The Award gives the Participant the conditional right to receive, without payment but subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, one share of Stock with respect to each PSU subject to this Award (the “Shares”). Subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan, the target number of PSUs subject to this Award is xxxx (“Target PSUs”) [and the maximum number of PSUs subject to this Award is xxx% of the Target PSUs].

Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction (if any), the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.

Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, the Administrator is authorized to make awards of Restricted Stock to any Eligible Participant in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Administrator. The restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such instalments, time-based or upon the satisfaction of performance goals or otherwise, as the Administrator determines at the time of the grant of the Award. (Refer to Performance Goals, Section 14.4). All awards of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by Award Agreements.
