Sample Business Contracts

Award of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to Director the number of restricted stock units set forth in the notice of award provided to Director by the Company, which number has been determined by dividing the amount of Director's director fees payable for the applicable calendar quarter by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock (a "Share") on the last business day of the calendar quarter to which the director fees relate (the "Units"). Each Unit represents a right to receive one share of Common Stock (a "Share") on the applicable RSU Settlement Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement (the "Award Agreement"), and subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. The Units are granted pursuant to the Plan and are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. Any term capitalized but not defined in this Award Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

Transferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, prior to the RSU Settlement Date, Director may not directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, voluntarily or involuntarily, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise transfer any of the Units.

Vesting. The Units shall be fully vested as of the Date of Grant.

Delivery of Shares. The Shares underlying the Units shall be delivered pursuant to the deferral election made by Director in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Company (the "RSU Settlement Date")

Whole Shares. All Awards shall be paid in whole Shares; no fractional Shares shall be credited or delivered to Director.

Adjustments. The Units shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12.1 of the Plan.

Dividend Equivalents. Upon the Company's payment of a dividend with respect to its Common Stock, the number of Units credited to Director shall be increased by the number obtained by dividing (a) the amount of the dividend payment Director would have received had Director owned a number of Shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units then credited to his or her account by (b) the closing price of the Common Stock on the day before the date of the dividend payment, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on the stock exchange composite tape for the Common Stock. In the event a dividend is paid in shares of stock of another company or in other property, the Company will pay the Director a cash amount equivalent in value to such shares of stock or property, with such payment to be made within 60 days after the payment date of the applicable dividend.

Responsibility for Taxes. Director is advised to review with his or her own tax advisors the Federal, state, local and, if applicable, non-U.S. tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Award. Director is relying solely on such advisors and is not relying in any part on any statement or representation of the Company or any of its agents. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be responsible for withholding any income tax, social security, unemployment, disability insurance or other tax obligations that become legally due by Director in connection with any aspect of this Award, including the award of the Units, vesting or settlement of the Units, or sale of the underlying Shares ("Tax-Related Items"). Director is solely responsible for timely reporting all income derived from the Units on Director's personal tax return and paying all Tax-Related Items, and shall indemnify the Company or any Affiliate and hold it harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, relating to any obligation imposed by law on the Company or any Affiliate to pay any Tax-Related Items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company or any Affiliate has any obligation to withhold Tax-Related Items under any applicable law, you authorize the Company and/or an Affiliate, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from any cash compensation paid to you by the Company; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares delivered upon settlement of the Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization). Director further acknowledges that the Company (1) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate Director's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.

Stockholder Rights. Director shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Units, including the right to vote or to receive cash dividends and other distributions until delivery of the Shares in satisfaction of the Units in accordance with Section 4 above.

Funding. No assets or Shares shall be segregated or earmarked by the Company in respect of any Units awarded hereunder. The grant of Units hereunder shall not constitute a trust and shall be solely for the purpose of recording an unsecured contractual obligation of the Company.

No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Award Agreement by the Company shall be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or as a modification of such provision. The provisions of this Award Agreement shall be

severable and in the event that any provision of this Award Agreement shall be found by any court as specified in Section 15 below to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remainder of this Award Agreement shall nevertheless be enforceable and binding on the parties.

Director is not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data. However, failure to provide the consent may affect Director's ability to participate in the Plan.
