WHEREAS, the Corporation has established and maintains the Plan to, among other things, provide flexibility to the Corporation and its Affiliates to attract, retain and motivate their directors, officers, and other key employees through the grant of awards based on performance and to adjust their compensation practices to the best compensation practices and corporate governance trends as they develop from time to time;
WHEREAS, the Plan is further intended to motivate high levels of individual performance coupled with increased shareholder returns;
WHEREAS, the Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Plan Administrators”);
WHEREAS, Grantee is eligible to participate in the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Plan Administrators have determined that Grantee shall participate and receive performance incentives under the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Corporation and Grantee agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Award; Grantee Rights. The Corporation hereby awards XXX XXXX(XXX) Restricted Units (the “Restricted Units”) to Grantee for the acquisition of an equal number of shares of Common Stock at the end of the Restricted Period. A Restricted Unit does not represent an equity interest in the Corporation and carries no voting or dividend rights. The Restricted Units may be forfeited to, and acquired at no cost by, the Corporation as set forth in Sections 3 and 4 below.
SECTION 2. Lapse of Restricted Period. Subject to Article X of the Plan regarding a Change of Control, the Restricted Period shall commence on the date of this Award and shall lapse in its entirety on the first anniversary of this Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the lapse of the Restricted Period, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Common Stock in lieu of delivering only Common Stock. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Common Stock, the amount of such cash payment for each share

of Common Stock to which Grantee is entitled shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed.
SECTION 3. Termination of Employment. The following provisions shall apply in the event of Grantee’s termination of employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate:
(a) Due to Cause. In the event Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation or any Affiliate for Cause, the remaining Restricted Units shall be forfeited at the time of such termination, and Grantee shall disgorge any profit, gain or other benefit received in respect of the lapse of restrictions on any prior Restricted Units for a period of twelve (12) months prior to the termination of his employment for Cause. In the event Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation or any Affiliate for Cause, the provisions of this paragraph will apply notwithstanding any assertion (by Grantee or otherwise) of a termination of employment for any other reason enumerated under this Section.
(b) Due to Resignation. In the event Grantee’s employment ends as a result of his resignation from the Corporation or any Affiliate, any Restricted Units shall be forfeited upon his termination of employment.
(c) Due to Any Other Reason. In the event Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation or any Affiliate for any other reason during the applicable vesting period, Grantee (or Grantee’s estate or beneficiaries, if Grantee subsequently dies) shall receive a payment calculated in the following manner: (i) the number of Awarded Restricted Units will be reduced by multiplying the grant under this Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the applicable vesting period during which Grantee was an active employee and the denominator of which is the number of months in the vesting period set forth in Section 2 above (with a partial month worked counted as a full month if Grantee is an active employee for 15 days or more in that month); and (ii) the resulting reduced number of Awarded Restricted Units shall be considered vested and payment of such pro-rated Award is to be made to Grantee (or Grantee’s beneficiaries or estate, if Grantee subsequently dies) as soon as practicable after Grantee’s termination of employment.
SECTION 4. Termination of Non-Employee Director. In the event a Grantee’s service as a Non-Employee Director shall terminate for reasons other than removal for Cause, Grantee (or his estate or beneficiaries, if he subsequently dies) shall receive a payment calculated in the following manner: (i) the number of Restricted Units will be reduced by multiplying the grant under this Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the applicable vesting period during which Grantee was an active Non-Employee Director and the denominator of which is the number of months in the applicable vesting period (with a partial month worked counted as a full month if Grantee is an active Non-Employee Director for 15 days or more in that month); and (ii) the resulting reduced number of Restricted Units shall be considered vested and payment of such pro-rated Awards is to be made to Grantee (or his or her beneficiaries or estate, if he subsequently dies) as soon as practicable after his termination as a Non-Employee Director. In the event Grantee’s service as a Non-Employee Director is terminated for Cause, any remaining Restricted Units granted to him shall be forfeited at the time of such termination, and Grantee shall disgorge any profit, gain or other benefit received in respect of the lapse of restrictions on any prior Restricted Units for a period of twelve (12) months prior to his termination for Cause. In the event Grantee’s service as a Non-Employee Director is terminated for Cause, the provisions of this paragraph will apply notwithstanding any assertion (by Grantee or otherwise) of a termination for any other reason.
