          WHEREAS, the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company believes that the grant of Restricted Stock to the Participant as described herein is consistent with the stated purposes for which the Plan was adopted; and

Each of such Restricted Stock certificates will bear a legend as provided by the Company, conspicuously referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions as permitted under Section 15.9 of the Plan.
