Term of Restricted Stock Units. The “Restricted Period” for the Award is the period beginning on the Award Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Award Date. The Participant will have no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or any shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units until the shares of Stock are issued in settlement of the vested Restricted Stock Units.

Award of Restricted Stock Units. A record of the Units awarded hereunder (the “Units”) shall be maintained for the Employee with the administrator designated by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), subject to terms deemed appropriate by the Committee to reflect the restrictions applicable to such Award (the “Restrictions”), until all the Restrictions specifically set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Units shall expire or be canceled. Upon the lapse of all Restrictions relating to any Units, the Company shall deliver Shares underlying the vested Units. The Units shall have no voting rights. The Units shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents. A “Dividend Equivalent” is an amount equal to the cash dividend payable per Share, if any, multiplied by the number of Shares then underlying the Award with respect to any cash dividends declared or paid by the Company while the Award is outstanding. Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to Shares underlying the Units # shall not be paid to the Employee until the Restrictions with respect to the Units upon which such Dividend Equivalents were credited, expire or are canceled, # shall be paid with respect to any Units which vest along with the Shares that are delivered, and # shall immediately and automatically be cancelled with respect to Units which are forfeited or canceled. No interest will be accrued, credited or paid on Dividend Equivalents.

Award of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby confirms the grant to you, as of the Grant Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, of the number of Restricted Stock Units identified on the cover page of this Agreement (the "Units"). Each Unit represents the right to receive one Share of the Company’s Common Stock. The Units granted to you will be credited to an account in your name maintained by the Company. This account will be unfunded and maintained for book-keeping purposes only, with the Units simply representing an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company.

Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the provisions of the Plan (including, but not limited to, Section 13 of the Plan (Change in Control)), and this Agreement, after the Vesting Date as set forth in Paragraphs 3 or 7, as applicable, vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled in cash as soon as reasonably practicable following the Vesting Date; provided, however, that in no event shall such Restricted Stock Units be settled more than sixty (60) days after such Vesting Date. On such date, the Company shall pay to the Participant, in a lump sum, a cash amount equal to the value of the Restricted Stock Units based upon the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Vesting Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the actual date of settlement for the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be known as the “Settlement Date.”

Award of Restricted Stock Units. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, Executive is hereby awarded 45,000 restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”), which constitute the right to receive, without payment, # 45,000 shares of common stock of the Company on a deferred basis (the “Unit Award”), and # the right to receive, without payment, additional shares of common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) on the same basis as the Unit Award, equal in value to the dividends as of the dividend payment date, if any, which would have been paid with respect to the common stock underlying the Unit Award had such common stock been issued to Executive on the date hereof (the “Deferred Dividend Shares”), with the number of shares to be delivered in respect of the Deferred Dividend Shares to be calculated as of the date on which the dividend is paid to holders of Company common stock, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Unit Award and the Deferred Dividend Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Award.” The Award is granted as of the date hereof (the “Date of Grant”).

Distribution of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units credited hereunder shall be distributed in accordance with an irrevocable election previously made by the Participant.

Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to such Participants and in such amounts as it shall determine. Restricted Stock Units shall be similar to Restricted Stock, except no shares are actually awarded to a Participant who is granted Restricted Stock Units on the date of grant, and such Participant shall have no rights of a shareholder with respect to such Restricted Stock Units.

General. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be issued under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be made. Each Participant who is granted Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall enter into an Award Agreement with the Company, containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, including, among other things, the number of Shares to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units; the period of time restrictions, performance goals or other conditions that apply to Transferability, delivery or vesting of such Awards (the “Restricted Period”); and all other conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.
