Fair Market Value at Grant:

Restriction expires: June 24, 2017

The shares of restricted stock granted under the Plan will be held in escrow by the Company on the participant’s behalf during any period of restriction and will bear an appropriate legend specifying the applicable restrictions thereon, and, if requested, the participant will be required to execute a blank stock power therefor. During the period of restriction the participant shall have all of the rights of a holder of Common Stock, including but not limited to the rights to receive dividends and to vote, and any stock or other securities received as a distribution with respect to such participant’s restricted stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as then in effect for the restricted stock.

This award is subject to the “Performance-Based Award Pool for Executive Officers” provisions (the “Pool Provisions”) adopted by the Compensation Committee on the date of this award. If the number of shares of restricted stock available to be awarded to you under the Pool Provisions (as certified by the Compensation Committee) is less than the number of restricted shares awarded hereby, then the excess number of shares (i.e. the number by which this award exceeds the number certified by the Compensation Committee) will be forfeited at the time of such certification, and only the number certified by the Compensation Committee will vest at the time the restrictions herein expire.

This award is further subject to the company’s compensation recovery policy in effect from time to time.

Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors:

| (1) | immediately prior to a Change in Control or at such time as a participant ceases to be a director, officer, or employee of, or to otherwise perform services for, the Company and its Subsidiaries due to death or Disability, during any period of restriction, all restrictions on the shares granted to the participant shall lapse (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if a Change of Control shall occur prior to the time of certification of the number of shares to which you are entitled under the Pool Provisions, then restrictions will lapse as to all shares awarded hereby);

| (2) | at such time as a participant ceases to be, or in the event a participant does not become, a director, officer, or employee of, or otherwise perform services for, the Company or its Subsidiaries for any other reason, all shares of restricted stock granted to such participant on which the restrictions have not lapsed shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.
