3. Restricted Shares. The Director hereby accepts the Restricted Shares when issued and agrees with respect thereto as follows:

(a) Stockholders’ Agreement; Forfeiture Restrictions. The Restricted Shares shall be subject to the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Sections 4.1 and 4.2 thereof; provided, however, that any reference to employment in Section 4.1 thereof shall be deemed to include performance or services as a director of the Company for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement and Section 4.1 of the Stockholders’ Agreement, “Original Issuance Date” for the Director shall mean May 7, 2004. The Director agrees that (i) the Director and the Director’s spouse, if any, will, upon request of the Company, execute and deliver to the Company such documents and instruments as the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may require to evidence such persons’ agreement to be bound by the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement, (ii) the Director shall be deemed to be a “Management Stockholder” thereunder and (iii) the Restricted Shares shall be deemed to be “Management Stock” thereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, the repurchase options and forfeiture provisions to which the Restricted Shares are subject pursuant to Section 4.2 of the

Stockholders’ Agreement are herein referred to as the “Forfeiture Restrictions.” The Forfeiture Restrictions shall be binding upon and enforceable against any transferee of Restricted Shares as provided in the Stockholders’ Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement (except to the extent this Agreement imposes additional restrictions or obligations on the Director), the provisions of the Stockholders’ Agreement shall control.

(b) Certificates. A certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares shall be issued by the Company in the Director’s name, pursuant to which the Director shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares, including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive dividends (provided, however, that dividends paid in shares of the Company’s stock shall be subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement, including without limitation the Forfeiture Restrictions; and further provided that dividends that are paid other than in shares of the Company’s stock shall be paid no later than the end of the calendar year in which the dividend for such class of stock is paid to stockholders of such class or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date the dividend is paid to stockholders of such class of stock).

The certificate shall be delivered upon issuance to the Secretary of the Company or to such other depository as may be designated by the Committee as a depository for safekeeping until the forfeiture or repurchase of such Restricted Shares occurs or the Forfeiture Restrictions lapse pursuant to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement. Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions without forfeiture, the Company shall cause a new certificate or certificates to be issued without legend (except for any legend required pursuant to applicable securities laws or any other agreement to which the Director is a party or otherwise required pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement) in the name of the Director in exchange for the certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares.

(c) Corporate Acts. The existence of the Restricted Shares shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board of Directors of the Company or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.

4. Withholding of Tax; Taxes. To the extent that the receipt of the Restricted Shares or the lapse of any Forfeiture Restrictions results in compensation income or wages to the Director for federal, state or local tax purposes, the Director shall deliver to the Company at the time of such receipt or lapse, as the case may be, such amount of money as the Company may require to meet its minimum obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations, and if the Director fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from any cash or stock remuneration (including withholding any Restricted Shares distributable to the Director under this Agreement) then or thereafter payable to the Director any tax required to be withheld by reason of such resulting compensation income or wages.

5. Status of Stock.

The Director also agrees that (i) the certificates representing the Restricted Shares may bear such legend or legends as the Committee deems appropriate in order to reflect the Forfeiture Restrictions and to assure compliance with the terms and provisions of the Stockholders’ Agreement and applicable securities laws, (ii) the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the Restricted Shares on the stock transfer records of the Company if such proposed transfer would, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of the terms and provisions of the Stockholders’ Agreement, including without limitation the Forfeiture Restrictions, or any applicable securities law, and (iii) the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Restricted Shares.

6. Service Relationship.

Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, it is specifically provided that the Director shall be considered to have ceased service with the Company at the time of the termination of the “Affiliate” status under the Plan of the entity or other organization for which the Director serves. Nothing in the adoption of the Plan, nor the award of the Restricted Shares thereunder pursuant to this Agreement, shall confer upon the Director the right to continued service with the Company or affect in any way the right of the Company to cause such service to cease at any time. Unless otherwise provided in a written agreement or by applicable law, the Director’s service with the Company may be terminated at any time by either the Director or the Company for any reason whatsoever. Any question as to whether and when there has been a cessation of such service, and the reason therefor, shall be determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final.

7. Notices. Any notices or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing. In the case of the Director, such notices or communications shall be effectively delivered if hand delivered to the Director at his principal place of employment or if sent by registered or certified mail to the Director at the last address the Director has filed with the Company.
