The Participant’s manager is responsible for determining whether the Participant has met the Award qualifiers and other terms of the Plan, prior to providing an Award recommendation. The Award recommendation should be primarily based on the performance of the Participant (including but not limited to risk performance) and in consideration of the performance of the line of business and the Company.

Initial Award. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director following the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Registration Date”) and following the first annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) following the Registration Date will automatically be granted an Award (the “Initial Award”), which grant will be effective on the date on which such individual first becomes an Outside Director, whether through election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy. The Initial Award will have a Value (as defined below) of $175,000 multiplied by a fraction # the numerator of which is # 12 minus # the number of full months between the date of the last Annual Meeting and the date the Outside Director becomes a member of the Board and # the denominator of which is 12 (with the result rounded down to the nearest whole Share). For example, if nine months have lapsed between the last Annual Meeting and the Outside Director’s start date, his or her Initial Award will have a Value of $43,750. The Initial Award will be comprised solely of Restricted Stock Units.

Award Agreement. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement stating the terms and conditions applicable to such Award, consistent with the requirements of the Plan and any applicable Program.

Award Agreement. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the maximum duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, the conditions upon which an Option shall become vested and exercisable, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine which are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan. The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or an NQSO.

The Executive is hereby awarded Performance Units with a value of $ per unit at the payment date. The Executive shall earn a percentage of the Performance Unit award upon achievement of a Performance Goal based on the Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) as a percentage of the cost of capital during the period January 1, through December 31, . ROIC is calculated by taking net income before after-tax cost of interest divided by total capital. The Performance Goal is calculated as follows:

Award Agreements. All Options granted pursuant to this Article shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine which are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. Such Award Agreement shall be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The terms of Options need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Granting an Option pursuant to the Plan shall impose no obligation on the recipient to exercise such Option. Any individual who is granted an Option pursuant to this Article may hold more than one Option granted pursuant to the Plan at the same time.

Award Agreements. The terms of any Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with the Plan. Such Award Agreement shall either comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Code Section 409A. The terms of Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

Annual Award Limits. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the following Annual Award Limits, subject to any adjustment under Section 4.5. The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options or other Awards may be granted to any Non-employee Director in any calendar year shall not exceed 10,000. 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.

Nature of Award. In accepting the Special Retention Awards, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

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”).
