NOW, THEREFORE,
the Participant and the Company hereby agree as follows:
1. The
Plan and Defined Terms . The provisions of the Plan, the Award
Details listed above, and Exhibit A are incorporated
into this Agreement by reference. Capitalized terms used but not
defined in this Agreement or the Award Details set forth above
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
2. Grant
of Restricted Shares . As of the Date of Grant, the Company
hereby grants to the Participant the number of Restricted Shares
set forth in the Award Details above (the “Restricted
Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and
this Agreement.
3.
Vesting and Forfeiture of Restricted Shares . The Restricted
Shares shall vest, or shall be forfeited and canceled, in whole or
in part, as provided on Exhibit A attached
hereto.
4.
Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Shares . If and until
the Restricted Shares become vested pursuant to
Exhibit A , the Restricted Shares shall not be sold,
pledged or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) by the Participant and shall not be subject to sale
under execution, attachment, levy or similar process.
5. Stock
Certificates . The Participant hereby acknowledges that stock
certificate(s) for the Restricted Shares awarded under this
Agreement will not be delivered by the Company to the Participant
until such Restricted Shares vest.
6. Voting
and Dividend Rights . The Participant shall have the same
voting and dividend rights with respect to the Restricted Shares as
the Company’s other shareholders, provided ,
however , that any dividends paid as Common Shares shall be
subject to the same transfer restrictions and forfeiture provisions
as the Restricted Shares.
7.
Regulation by the Committee . This Agreement and the
Restricted Shares shall be subject to such administrative
procedures and rules as the Committee shall adopt. All decisions of
the Committee upon any question arising under the Plan or under
this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Participant.
8.
Compliance with Laws and Regulations . The obligations of
the Company hereunder are subject to all applicable Federal and
state laws and to the applicable rules, regulations and other
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock
exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed and any other
government or regulatory agency. The Company shall not be required
to remove restrictions from Restricted Shares prior to (a) the
listing of the Common Shares on any such stock exchange and
(b) the completion of any registration or qualification of
such Common Shares under any Federal or state law, or any rule,
regulation or other requirement of any government or regulatory
agency which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine
to be necessary or advisable. In making such determination, the
Company may rely upon an opinion of counsel for the Company. The

on the Company’s website, through the Human Resources
Department or through the Legal Department.
(b)
Restrictions on Resale and Marital Property Settlements .
Participant agrees not to sell any vested Restricted Shares if
applicable laws or Company policies prohibit such a sale.
Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the
Company is not obligated to honor or recognize Participant’s
former spouse’s interest in unvested Restricted
Shares.
10.
Amendment of Severance and Employment Agreements . By
executing this Agreement, the Participant and the Company hereby
agree that this Agreement constitutes an amendment to the
Participant’s employment agreement and/or severance agreement
(if any) with the Company to the effect that any provision of such
employment or severance agreement that grants accelerated vesting
and/or lapse of restrictions on restricted stock in the event of a
“change in control” (as defined therein) shall not
apply to the Restricted Shares awarded under this Agreement.
Participant agrees to execute any additional documentation
requested by the Company to further evidence such
amendment.
11.
Adjustments . In the event of a stock split, a stock
dividend or any other event described in the Article of the Plan
entitled “Protection Against Dilution,” the number of
Common Shares subject to this award may be adjusted pursuant to the
Plan if deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole
discretion.
2
12. Term
of Agreement . This Agreement shall terminate when all
Restricted Shares are either vested or forfeited and canceled as
provided in the Plan and this Agreement.
(a) Participant
shall be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes,
arising out of this grant or the vesting of Restricted Shares
hereunder. Participant acknowledges that, at his or her option,
Participant (i) shall be entitled to make the election
permitted under section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), to include in gross income in
the taxable year in which the Restricted Shares are granted, the
fair market value of such shares at the time of grant,
notwithstanding that such shares may be subject to a substantial
risk of forfeiture within the meaning of the Code, or (ii) may
elect to include in gross income the fair market value of the
Restricted Shares as of the date on which such restriction
lapses.
(b) The
Participant may elect to satisfy any withholding tax obligation
arising out of the grant or the vesting of Restricted Shares
hereunder (unless Participant shall make an election under Section
83(b) of the Code with respect thereto) by having the Company
retain vested Restricted Shares having a fair market value equal to
the Company’s minimum withholding obligation (which amount
may be rounded to the next highest whole share).
14. No
Retention Rights . Neither the Restricted Shares nor anything
contained in this Agreement shall give Participant the right to be
retained by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company as an
employee or in any other capacity. The Company and its subsidiaries
reserve the right to terminate Participant’s service at any
time, with or without Cause.
15.
Applicable Law . This Agreement will be interpreted and
enforced under the laws of the State of Florida.
16.
