1. Granting of Restricted Shares. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Employment Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Restricted Stockholder, effective as of the date hereof (the “Date of Grant”), 300,000 restricted shares of Common Stock (the “Performance Shares”), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Employment Agreement and the Stock Incentive Plan. The restrictions on the Performance Shares shall lapse, and the Performance Shares shall be fully vested, on the Vesting Date as set forth in Section 2 below.

(b) All capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Stock Incentive Plan.

(b)

the date there is a Change of Control of the Corporation (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

Except as otherwise provided in the Employment Agreement, in the event the Restricted Stockholder’s employment is terminated by the Corporation or voluntarily by the Restricted Stockholder, the Restricted Stockholder will surrender all of the unvested Performance Shares issuable pursuant to the terms hereof.

The number of shares granted and the stock price referred to above shall be adjusted for changes in the Common Stock as outlined in Section 18.4 of the Stock Incentive Plan or as otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the parties.

3. Non-Transferability. The Performance Shares that remain subject to the restrictions set forth herein may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Restricted Stockholder until such restrictions shall have lapsed in accordance with the terms hereof or in the event of a transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposal, such event has been approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Restricted Stockholder agrees that, to the extent the restrictions set forth herein lapse with respect to any of the Performance Shares, such unrestricted Performance Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Restricted Stockholder, subject to applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, provided that Restricted Stockholder shall be entitled to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation (or such greater withholding amount as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may approve) by electing to have the Corporation withhold from the Performance Shares that number of shares having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld (or such greater withholding amount as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may approve), determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.

4. No Right to Continued Employment.

5. Restricted Stockholder Bound by Stock Incentive Plan.

6. Section 83(b) Election.

7. Withholding Taxes. The Performance Shares will be subject to any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law at the time the Performance Shares vest and become nonforfeitable. By accepting the Performance Shares, the Restricted Stockholder agrees to promptly satisfy federal, state and local withholding requirements, when and if applicable, for such Performance Shares by making a cash payment to the Corporation equal to the required withholding amount or by electing to have the Corporation withhold from the Performance Shares that number of shares having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld (or such greater withholding amount as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may approve), determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.
