RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

Section .5.01.  Grant of Restricted Stock Awards.  Subject to the terms, provisions, and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, select those Employees and Non-Employee Directors to whom Restricted Stock Awards are to be granted.  The Committee shall also have exclusive power to determine (i) when Restricted Stock Awards will be made, (ii) the number of Shares covered by each Restricted Stock Award, (iii) when the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock Award will lapse, (iv) the Performance Goals applicable to any Restricted Stock Award, (v) any other terms of Restricted Stock Awards, and (vi) the form of Award Agreements.  Restricted Stock Awards may be made to the same person on more than one occasion.

(d)Termination of Employment by Reason of Death or Disability.  Notwithstanding any provision of Subsection (a) to the contrary, if (i) an Employee who has been in the continuous employment, or (ii) a Non-Employee Director who has served on the Board of Directors, of the Company and/or a

5

Subsidiary for at least one year since the date of a Restricted Stock Award, either dies or Terminates Employment because of his Disability while in such employment, then the restrictions set forth in Subsection (a) shall lapse on the day of such event as to all Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award.

(e)Change in Control.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all restrictions with respect to Shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award shall lapse upon a Change in Control.

(f)Agreement by Employee Regarding Withholding Taxes.  Each Employee granted a Restricted Stock Award shall agree that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payments of any kind otherwise due or to become due to an Employee any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award, or if there are no such payments due or to become due to the Employee, the Employee will pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee, regarding payment of any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award.

With respect to any Restricted Stock Award, the Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt, permit the Employee to elect to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding tax obligation that may arise in connection with the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award by having the Company retain or accept from the Employee delivery of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the withholding tax to be satisfied by such retention or delivery.

(g)Forfeiture of Award.  Any Shares as to which the restrictions of Section 5.03(a) have not lapsed in accordance with this Section 5.03 as of the date of a Participant’s Termination of Employment shall be forfeited and returned to the Company as of such date without the payment of consideration by the Company.

Section .5.03.  Rights With Respect to Shares.  A Participant to whom a Restricted Stock Award has been made shall have absolute beneficial ownership of the Shares awarded to him, including the right to vote the shares and to receive dividends thereon; subject, however, to the terms, conditions, and restrictions described in the Plan and/or the Award Agreement. The certificate(s) for such shares, with restrictive legends thereon, shall be held by the Company for the Participant’s benefit until the restrictions lapse, whereupon certificates without restrictive legends shall be issued and delivered to him.

Section .5.04.   Restrictive Legends.  Certificates for Shares issued pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions described in the Plan and the Award Agreement.  Any attempt to dispose of any Shares in contravention of the terms, conditions, and restrictions described in the Plan or the Award Agreement shall be ineffective.

Section .5.05.  Adjustment of Shares.  Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, (i) the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, (ii) the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Restricted Stock Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of a Restricted Stock Award, and (iii) the Performance Goals applicable to outstanding Restricted Stock Awards, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares (including any such change in the number of Shares effected in connection with a change in domicile of the Company), other extraordinary dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, spin-off, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event (an “Event”) or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration”.  The Committee shall take all actions necessary or desirable to effect such and the actions of the Committee in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  If any of the foregoing adjustments shall result in a fractional Share, the fraction shall be disregarded, and the Company shall have no obligation to make any cash or other payment with respect to such a fractional Share.
