conditions of the Plan. The Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. All
capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meaning set forth in the Plan unless otherwise
defined in this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, you acknowledge receipt of a copy of the

decisions and interpretations by the Plan Committee with respect to any questions arising under the

2. Payment. The Restricted Shares are awarded to you without requirement of
payment.
3. Transfer Restrictions. Until the restrictions lapse, the Restricted Shares may
not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by you,
and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance
shall be void and unenforceable; provided that the designation of a beneficiary pursuant to Article
11 of the Plan shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer
or encumbrance. Certificates will be transferred to you only as provided in paragraph 4 of this
Exhibit A.
4. Certificates. You will receive certificates for the number of your Restricted
Shares with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed. Until the restrictions lapse, your
Restricted Shares either will be evidenced by certificates held by or on behalf of the Company (in
which case you will sign and deliver to the Company a stock power relating to the Restricted Shares
so that the Company may cancel the Restricted Shares in the event of forfeiture), or the Restricted
Shares will be reflected in a book-entry form or other account maintained by the Company, as
determined by the Company.

occur prior to that date; or
(b) Your Termination of Affiliation due to your death; or
(c) Your Termination of Affiliation due to your Disability; or
(d) A Change in Control.
7. Acceleration of Vesting. The Committee may at any time or times in its discretion
accelerate the vesting of some or all of your Restricted Shares by specifying a date, other than
what is provided in this Agreement, on which such Shares will no longer be subject to
2
restrictions. Any such Shares that are then vested under this paragraph 7 will not be forfeited
under paragraph 8 of this Exhibit A.
8. Forfeiture. If you have a Termination of Affiliation prior to any of the events
specified in paragraph 6 of this Exhibit A, then you will forfeit all of your Restricted Shares
upon such Termination of Affiliation. All of your rights to and interest in any Restricted Shares
that are forfeited under this paragraph 8 will terminate upon forfeiture. You agree to immediately
repay to the Company all dividends, if any, paid in cash or in stock with respect to your forfeited
Restricted Shares.
9. No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or
limit in any way the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate your consulting service at
any time, nor confer upon you the right to continue in the provision of consulting service to the
Company or a Subsidiary.
10. Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company
shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary. Any notice to be given to you shall be

person or when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to you at your address on the
shareholder records of the Company, or such other address as you have designated under this
paragraph.
11. Tax Consultation. Your signature on this Agreement means that you understand
that you may incur tax consequences as of any date that a number (which may be all or part) of your
Restricted Shares would no longer be forfeited if you were to have a Termination of Affiliation on
such date. You agree to consult with any tax consultants you think advisable in connection with
the Restricted Shares and you acknowledge that you are not relying, and will not rely, on the
Company or any Subsidiary for any tax advice. Please see Section 16.2 of the Plan regarding Code

Committee reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time.
13. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is declared by any court or
governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not serve
to invalidate any part of this Agreement not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any part so
declared unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which gives effect to the
terms of such part to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.
14. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
