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.”

Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Participants in such number, and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. A grant of a Restricted Stock Unit or Restricted Stock Units shall not represent the grant of Shares but shall represent a promise to deliver a corresponding number of Shares or the value of each Share based upon the completion of service, performance conditions, or such other terms and conditions as specified in the applicable Award Agreement over the Period of Restriction. Each grant of Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

The RSUs subject hereto shall be held in trust by IBI Capital, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and further recorded in a restricted book entry account in the name of the Employee. Each RSU will be deemed granted on the date stated above, provided that # the Company has provided a copy of this Agreement to the Trustee and # the Employee has signed all documents required pursuant to Applicable Law and under the Plan. Upon completion of the Restriction Period, Shares issued pursuant to [Section 3] above shall be deposited with the Trustee (as further detailed below) in lieu of the RSUs previously held by the Trustee; provided, however, that a portion of such Shares may be surrendered in payment of any Tax-Related in accordance with [Section 11] of this Grant Agreement, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, establishes alternative procedures for the payment of such taxes.

Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan and Code Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4), the Board, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units to any Eligible Director, in such amount and upon such terms as the Board shall determine. A Grantee shall have no voting rights in Restricted Stock Units.

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.

Payment of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the other provisions of the Plan, after the last day of the Period of Restriction applicable to a Participant’s Restricted Stock Units, and after all conditions and restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock Units have been satisfied or lapse (including satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations), pursuant to the applicable Award Agreement, such Restricted Stock Units shall be settled by a cash payment determined by reference to the then-current Fair Market Value of Shares.

Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the other provisions of the Plan, after the Lapse Date of the Period of Restriction as set forth in Paragraph 2, such Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as follows:

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”).

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.
