TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.       GRANT OF SHARES. The Grant Date and number of Shares underlying your
         Restricted Stock Award are stated on page 1 of this Award Agreement.
         Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
         meanings assigned to such terms in the 2009 Plan.

2.       RESTRICTIONS. The unvested Shares underlying your Restricted Stock
         Award (the "Restricted Shares") are subject to the following
         restrictions until they expire or terminate.

         (a)      Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, exchanged,
                                    -------
                  assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered.
         (b)      If your employment or service with the Company or any
                  Affiliate terminates for any reason other than as set forth in
                  paragraph (b) of Section 3 hereof, then you will forfeit all
                  of your rights, title and interest in and to the Restricted
                  Shares as of the date of termination, and the Restricted
                  Shares shall revert to the Company under the terms of the 2009
                  Plan.
         (c)      Restricted Shares are subject to the vesting schedule set
                  forth on page 1 of this Award Agreement.

3.       EXPIRATION AND TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS. The restrictions imposed
         under Section 2 will expire on the earliest to occur of the following
         (the period prior to such expiration being referred to herein as the
         "Restricted Period"):

         (a)      If applicable, as to the percentages of the Shares specified
                  in the vesting schedule on page 1 of this Award Agreement, on
                  the respective dates specified in the vesting schedule on page
                  1; provided you are then still employed by or in the service
                  of the Company or an Affiliate; or

         (b)      Upon termination of your employment by reason of death or
                  Disability; or

         (c)      Upon a Change in Control (as defined in the 2009 Plan).

4.       DELIVERY OF SHARES. Once the Shares are vested (see vesting schedule on
         page 1), the Shares (and accumulated dividends and earnings (if any),
         unless the Compensation Committee elects to pay out the accumulated
         dividends and earnings prior to vesting), will be distributed in
         accordance with your instructions.

5.       VOTING AND DIVIDEND RIGHTS. As beneficial owner of the Shares, you have
         full voting and dividend rights with respect to the Shares during and
         after the Restricted Period. If you forfeit your rights under this
         Award Agreement in accordance with Section 2, you will no longer have
         any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares and
         you will no longer be entitled to receive dividends on the Shares.

6.       CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. Upon the occurrence of a corporate event
         (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split,
         extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
         consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares),
         your award will be adjusted as necessary to preserve the benefits or
         potential benefits of the award. Without limiting the above, in the
         event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a
         declaration of a dividend payable in Stock, or a combination or
         consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares,
         the Shares subject to this Award Agreement will automatically be
         adjusted proportionately.

7.       NO RIGHT OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Award Agreement will
         interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any
         Affiliate to terminate your employment or service at any time, nor

         Company or any Affiliate.

10.      SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this
         Agreement is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other
