[THREE-YEAR FORM]

▇▇▇▇▇ CORPORATION
PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT

     This Performance Share Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between ▇▇▇▇▇ CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                        (the “Employee”). If the Employee presently is or subsequently becomes employed by a subsidiary of the Company, the term “Company” shall be deemed to refer collectively to the Company and the subsidiary or subsidiaries which employ the Employee. This Agreement is entered into as of the       day of                       ,          (the “Date of Grant”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the ▇▇▇▇▇ CORPORATION LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN (the “Plan”) to attract, retain and motivate employees, directors and consultants; and

     WHEREAS, the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan Committee (the “Committee”) believes that entering into this Agreement with the Employee is consistent with the stated purposes for which the Plan was adopted.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the services rendered by the Employee, it is agreed by and between the Company and the Employee, as follows:

     1. Grant. The Company hereby grants as of the Date of Grant a Performance Award (as defined in the Plan) of                performance share units (the “Units”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Depending upon the Company’s performance, the Employee may earn from                percent (       %) to         percent (       %) of the Units, based on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Shares”), as compared to the TSR of a peer group of companies as provided in Section 2.

     2. Nature of Award. The Units represent an award for the “Performance Period” described in this Section 2. The Performance Period begins on                ,       and ends on               ,       . At the end of the Performance Period, the Employee shall be entitled to a cash payment equal to the value of the Units as determined under this Section 2 and payable at the time indicated in Section 4 or Section 3(b), as applicable. At the end of the Performance Period, the amount paid with respect to the Units will be based upon the TSR of the Company compared to the TSR of a select group of peer companies designated by the Committee for performance measurement purposes (the “Peer Group”). TSR includes both appreciation in share price during the Performance Period and the assumed reinvestment of any dividends declared into additional Shares at the time dividends are paid. The Share price for the TSR calculation of the Company shall be the average Share price for the final thirty- (30-) day trading period of the Performance Period (the “Share Price”). The amount payable to the

1

Employee pursuant to the Agreement shall be an amount equal to the number of Units (as specified in Section 1 and after any applicable adjustment under Section 3) multiplied by a “Performance Percentage” (which will be based upon the Company’s TSR ranking as compared to the ranking of the Peer Group) multiplied by the Share Price. The Performance Percentage will be determined in accordance with the following “Performance Schedule.”

     3. Early Termination. In the event of separation from employment of the Employee prior to the end of the Performance Period on account of an event described in this Section 3, the number of Units with respect to which payment at the end of the Performance Period is based shall be determined as follows:

          (a) (i) In the event that the Employee separates from employment for any reason other than voluntary separation or Cause, as defined in Section 3(c)(vii), or (ii) in the event of the Employee’s death or (iii) in the event of the Employee’s total and permanent disability as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, or (iv) in the event that the Employee shall retire after attaining normal retirement age of 62 or after attaining an earlier retirement age approved by the Committee in its sole discretion, the number of Units that shall be earned by and paid to the Employee or his beneficiary, in accordance with and at the time specified in Section 4, shall be determined as follows: the Employee shall forfeit a percentage of the Units equal to the percentage that the number of full months following the date of separation, death, disability or retirement to the end of the Performance Period bears to thirty-six (36). The Committee shall determine the number of Units earned and the amount to be paid to the Employee or his beneficiary as soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Performance Period based upon the TSR calculation determined pursuant to Section 2 for the entire Performance Period. In its sole discretion, the Committee may make a payment to the Employee assuming a Performance Percentage of up to                     percent (       %) of the Units instead of the pro-rata number of Units as determined pursuant to this Section 3(a). Unless the Committee

2

determines otherwise, the Employee will have no right to any other Units and those other Units granted under this Agreement will be forfeited. If the Employee separates from employment prior to the end of the Performance Period due to voluntary separation or on account of Cause, all Units hereunder will be forfeited.

          (b) In the event of a Special Involuntary Termination, as defined in Section 3(c)(vi), before the end of the Performance Period, no Units shall be forfeited, and payment with respect to                       percent (       %) of the Units shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the Special Involuntary Termination. In the event of a Special Involuntary Termination, the amount payable with respect to this Agreement will equal the number of Units granted pursuant to Section 1, multiplied by the Share Price, and multiplied by a Performance Percentage of                      percent (       %); provided, however, the Share Price shall be calculated using the average Share price for the thirty- (30-) day trading period preceding the date of the Special Involuntary Termination. Payment pursuant to this Section 3(b) is in-lieu of payment pursuant to Section 3(a) and if the Employee receives payment pursuant to this Section 3(b) the Employee will not be entitled to any payment pursuant to Section 3(a).
