August 2009.
WHEREAS, the Company adopted a Long Term
Incentive Compensation Plan in 2004, as amended in 2006 (the
“Plan”), whereby the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors (the “Committee”) is authorized to
award shares of common stock of the Company to officers and key
employees carrying restrictions such as a prohibition against
disposition and establishing a substantial risk of forfeiture;
and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined it to be
in its best interests of the Company to provide the Employee with
an inducement to acquire or increase his equity interest in the
Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
and of the covenants and agreements herein set forth, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. Stock Grant
. Subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which has
been provided to the Employee and is incorporated herein by
reference, the Company grants to the Employee _________ shares of
the common stock of the Company, subject to the terms and
conditions and restrictions set forth below.
If at any time while this Agreement is in effect
(or shares of common stock granted hereunder shall be or remain
unvested while Employee’s employment continues and has not
yet terminated or ceased for any reason), there shall be any
increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares
of the Company through the declaration of a stock dividend or
through any recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up,
combination or exchange of such shares, then the Committee shall
make any adjustments it deems fair and appropriate (in view of such
change) in the number of shares of common stock then subject to
this Agreement. If any such adjustment shall result in a
fractional share, such fraction shall be disregarded.
2. Fair Market
Value . The fair market value of the shares granted
was Eight and 89/100 Dollars ($8.89) per share on the date of
grant.
3. Price Paid by
Employee . The price to be paid by the Employee for
the shares granted shall be
No
Dollars ($ 0.00 ) per share.
4.
Transferability . For a period of three (3) years
from the date of grant the shares granted shall not be subject to
sale, assignment, pledge or other transfer of disposition by the
Employee, except as provided in Sections 6 or 7, or except by
reason of an exchange or conversion of such shares because of
merger, consolidation, reorganization or other corporate
action. Any shares into which the granted shares may be
converted or for which the granted shares may be exchanged in a
merger, consolidation, reorganization or other corporate action
shall be subject to the same transferability restrictions as the
granted shares.
On the third anniversary of the date of grant,
one hundred percent (100%) of the shares granted shall become
freely transferable.
5.
Forfeitability . Except as provided in Section 6
of this Agreement, if the employment of the Employee shall
terminate prior to the expiration of three (3) years from the date
of grant other than by reason of death or permanent disability, the
shares granted (or any shares into which they may have been
converted or for which they may have been exchanged) shall be
forfeited. If the Employee continues to be employed on
the third anniversary of the date of grant, the shares shall become
non-forfeitable.

Change in Control of the Company occurs and the Employee thereafter
either terminates employment for Good Reason or is involuntarily
terminated by the Company without cause, the transferability
provisions and the forfeitability provisions shall immediately
cease to apply. Employee’s continued employment
with the Company, for whatever duration, following a Change in
Control of the Company shall not constitute a waiver of his or her
rights with respect to this Section 6. Employee's right to
terminate his or her employment pursuant to this Subsection shall
not be affected by his or her incapacity due to physical or mental
illness. For purposes of this Section 6:
