Change involves a merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange,
unless appropriate provision shall be made for the protection of the
RSUs by the substitution of appropriate RSUs or restricted stock of
the corporation surviving any such merger or consolidation or, if
appropriate, the parent corporation of the Company or such surviving
corporation, or (ii)&nbsp;the Fundamental Change involves the dissolution
or liquidation of the Company, then the Committee shall declare at
least 20&nbsp;days prior to the occurrence of the Fundamental Change, and
provide written notice to the Employee of the declaration, that all
conditions, limitations and restrictions relating to the RSUs are
cancelled and terminated effective as of the actual closing of the
Fundamental Change and that the RSUs shall after such closing be and
remain unrestricted and subject to settlement;

by the Employee rounded down to the nearest whole number, on a date
(the &#147;Settlement Date&#148;) within thirty (30)&nbsp;days following the

Dates (as defined by the Employee in the Election Form), (c)&nbsp;the date on which the
Employee terminates employment; (d)&nbsp;the date of a Fundamental Change
unless appropriate provision has been made for protection of the RSUs
under paragraph 4.1; or (e)&nbsp;an Event. Such Common Shares shall not
be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such
restriction as may be required pursuant to paragraph 5.5 or any
applicable law, rule or regulation. On the Settlement Date, the
Company shall pay to the Employee cash in lieu of any fractional
Common Share represented by a fractional RSU subject to this Award in
an amount equal to the Fair Market Value on the earliest date
specified in (a)&nbsp;through (e)&nbsp;above of such fractional Common Share.


<P align="left" style="margin-left: 6%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt">5.3 <B>Tax Withholding</B>. At the time the RSU is granted, or at any time
thereafter as requested by the Company, the Employee hereby
authorizes withholding from the RSUs such number of Common Shares,
valued at their Fair Market Value on the date so used, as may be
required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in
connection with the RSU or the issuance of Common Shares in
settlement thereof. The Company shall reduce the number of shares
issued to the Employee on the Settlement Date by the number of shares
required to cover the tax withholding as of such date, such shares to
be valued at their Fair Market Value on the earliest date specified
in paragraph 5.2 (a)&nbsp;through (e)&nbsp;above. The Company shall have no
obligation to deliver Common Shares until the tax withholding
obligations of the Company have been satisfied by the Employee.

which the RSU is settled shall be registered in the name of the
Employee, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the
Employee.


<P align="left" style="margin-left: 6%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt">5.5 <B>Restrictions on Grant of the RSU and Issuance of Shares</B>. The
grant of the RSUs and issuance of Common Shares upon settlement of
the RSUs shall be subject to compliance with all applicable
requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such
securities, including requirements as amended after grant of the RSU.
No Common Shares may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such
shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state
or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the
requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the
Common Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to
obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if
any, deemed by the Company&#146;s legal counsel to be necessary to the
lawful issuance and sale of any shares subject to the RSU shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to
issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall
not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the RSU,
the Company may require the Employee to satisfy any qualifications
that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any
applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or
warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the company.

Affiliate thereof, is terminated, other than by reason of the Employee&#146;s
death or disability (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;22(e)(3) of the Code),
then any RSUs that have not previously vested shall be forfeited by
Employee to the Company. Employee shall thereafter have no right, title
or interest whatever in such RSUs.

terms and conditions relating to this grant. The Committee may modify
this grant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to adjust the number or

extraordinary dividend or divestiture (including a spin-off), or any other
change in the corporate structure or Common Shares of the Company.

continued employment with the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company
or any Affiliate employing the Employee may terminate such employment or
otherwise treat the Employee without regard to the effect it may have
upon the Employee or any RSUs under this Agreement.


<P align="left" style="margin-left: 3%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt">10. <B>Other Benefit And Compensation Programs</B>. Neither the RSUs nor the
Common Shares into which the RSUs are settled shall not be deemed a part
of the Employee&#146;s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of the
termination, indemnity, or severance pay law of any country and shall not
be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits
under any other employee benefit plan, contract, or similar arrangement

determines that the RSUs, or a portion thereof, should be included to accurately

issuance of a certificate for such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent
of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions
or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such
certificate is issued, except as provided in paragraph 8 or pursuant to
the Dividend Equivalent Rights of paragraph 6.

acquired pursuant to this grant in the possession of the Employee in
order to carry out the provisions of this paragraph.

made by the Committee with regard to any question arising under this
Agreement or the Plan shall be binding and conclusive upon the Company,
any Affiliate and the Employee. In the event that there is any
inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the
provisions of the Plan shall govern.
