Section 2.  Issuance of Shares.

(a)                                 The Restricted Shares shall be evidenced by entry into the register of members of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may determine that the Restricted Shares shall be evidenced in such other manner as it deems appropriate, including the issuance of a share certificate or certificates.  In the event that any share certificate is issued in respect of the Restricted Shares, such certificate shall (i) be registered in the name of the Participant, (ii) bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares and (iii) be held in custody by the Company.

(b)                                 Voting Rights.  The Participant shall have voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares.

(c)                                  Dividends.  All cash and other dividends and distributions, if any, that are paid with respect to the Restricted Shares shall be paid currently to the Participant.

(d)                                 Transferability.  Unless and until the Restricted Shares become vested in accordance with this Agreement, the Restricted Shares shall not be assigned, sold, transferred or otherwise be subject to alienation by the Participant.

[(e)                              Section 83(b) Election.  If the Participant chooses, the Participant may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Restricted Shares, which would cause the Participant currently to recognize income for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares (determined as of the Grant Date) over the amount, if any, that the Participant paid for the Restricted Shares, which excess will be subject to U.S. federal income tax.  The form for making a Section 83(b) election is available from the Company at the address indicated in Section 4(a).  The Participant acknowledges that (i) the Participant is solely

responsible for the decision whether or not to make a Section 83(b) election, and the Company is not making any recommendation with respect thereto, (ii) it is the Participant’s sole responsibility to timely file the Section 83(b) election within 30 days after the Grant Date, if the Participant decides to make such election, and (iii) if the Participant does not make a valid and timely Section 83(b) election, the Participant will be required to recognize ordinary income at the time of vesting on any future appreciation on the Restricted Shares.]

[(e)                              No Section 83(b) Election.  The Participant agrees that he shall not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Restricted Shares.]

(f)                                   Withholding Requirements.  The Company may withhold any tax (or other governmental obligation) that becomes due with respect to the Restricted Shares (or any dividend or distribution thereon[, or on any cash payment made pursuant to the right described in Section 3(e)(ii)](1)), and the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable the Company to satisfy all such withholding requirements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the Participant to satisfy any such withholding requirement by transferring to the Company pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may require, effective as of the date on which such requirement arises, a number of vested Shares owned and designated by the Participant having an aggregate Fair Market Value as of such date that is equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld.  If the Committee permits the Participant to satisfy any such withholding requirement pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall remit to the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state and local revenue agencies, for the credit of the Participant, an amount of cash withholding equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares transferred to the Company as provided above.

(ii)                                  If, as of immediately following such Change in Control, the shares of the surviving or resulting entity (or the direct or indirect parent of such entity) in such Change in Control are not quoted or traded on a stock market or exchange, the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited in their entirety without any payment to the Participant (or, in the Committee’s sole discretion, if required pursuant to applicable law to effect such forfeiture, the Company may repurchase the Restricted Shares at their par value) and replaced with the right to receive, upon the vesting thereof, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares as of immediately prior to such Change in Control.

[(iii)                           In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company or any Affiliate without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case at any time during the period beginning three months before and ending one year after the date on which a Change in Control occurs, the Restricted Shares that have not vested as of the date of such Termination of Service shall fully vest on the later of (i) the date of such Termination of Service or (ii) the date on which such Change in Control occurs; provided, however, that in the case of any such Termination of Service that occurs during the three-month period prior to the date on which such Change in Control occurs, such vesting of the Restricted Shares shall only apply if such Termination of Service was at the request of a third party that has taken steps reasonably calculated to effectuate such Change in Control or that otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of such Change in Control.](3)

(c)                                  For Any Other Reason.  In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service at any time under circumstances not described in Section 3(a) or 3(b)[(iii)], the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited in their entirety without any payment to the Participant or, in the Committee’s sole discretion, if required pursuant to applicable law to effect such forfeiture, the Company may repurchase the Restricted Shares at their par value.
