Amendment of Award. The Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including without limitation changing the date of exercise or realization, causing the Award to be assumed by another entity, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option, provided that the Participant’s consent to such action shall be required # if such action would terminate, or reduce the number of shares issuable under, an Option, unless any time period relating to the exercise of such Option or the eliminated portion, as the case may be, is accelerated before such termination or reduction, in which case the Committee may provide for the Participant to receive cash or other property equal to the net value that would be received upon exercise of the terminated Option or the eliminated portion, as the case may be, and # in any other case, unless the Committee determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant. The Committee shall not, without further approval of the stockholders of the Company, authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option to reduce the exercise price. Furthermore, no Option shall be canceled in exchange for cash or replaced with Options having a lower exercise price without approval of the stockholders of the Company.

The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options or SARs may be granted to any Employee who is a Participant in any calendar year shall be 2,000,000 Shares. For any Awards other than Options or SARs and that are denominated in Shares, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be delivered pursuant to such Awards granted in any calendar year shall be 400,000 Shares for any Employee who is a Participant. For any Awards that are denominated in cash, the maximum aggregate amount of cash that may be paid with respect to all such Awards granted in any calendar year shall be $20,000,000 for any Employee who is a Participant.

Grant of Award. Subject to adjustment based on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee [X,XXX] Restricted Shares (the “Target Restricted Shares”) and an opportunity to earn additional Restricted Shares or Common Shares (the “Additional Opportunity,” and, together with the Target Restricted Shares, the “Award”), all subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan, and the separate schedule of Management Objectives provided to the Grantee and set forth in [Exhibit A], attached hereto (the “Statement of Management Objectives”).

By acceptance of this Agreement, the Participant accepts the Award, acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, and represents that the Participant is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof and agrees to be bound thereby. The Participant further agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee with respect to any questions arising under the Plan and this Agreement.

The Annual Equity Award shall vest on the earlier of the first anniversary date of the grant date or the date of the Company's next subsequent annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date.

SAR Award Agreement. Each SAR granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written SAR Award Agreement which shall be entered into by the Company and the Grantee to whom the SAR is granted and which shall specify the exercise price per share, the SAR Term, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Board in its sole discretion shall determine.

Forfeiture of Award. Notwithstanding the Corporation's or an Affiliate's ability to pursue injunctive relief pursuant to Section 19(i), in the event of an actual breach by the Participant of any of the provisions of this Section 19 or of any stand-alone restrictive covenant agreement, the Corporation also is entitled to forfeit any portion of the Award that has not vested or been settled yet at the time the Corporation becomes aware of the breach.
