1. Grant of SSAR. Effective as of the date of grant set forth above, the Company grants to
the Recipient, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth hereinafter, the right to
gains above the Exercise Price on the number of Shares set forth above.
2. Term. The term of the SSAR shall be for a period of [ ] years from the date of
grant, and the SSAR shall expire at the close of regular business hours at the Companys principal
office on the last day of the term of the SSAR, or, if earlier, on the applicable expiration date
provided for in sections 4 and 5 hereof.
3. Vesting. Except as otherwise provided herein, the SSAR shall become exercisable with
respect to the number of Shares indicated as of the date indicated opposite such number below:
Number of Shares | Date as of | |
As to Which SSAR | Which SSAR | |
May be Exercised | May be Exercised | |
4. Exercisability. To the extent that the SSAR has become exercisable with respect to a
number of Shares, as provided herein, the SSAR may thereafter be exercised by the Recipient either
as to all or any part of such Shares at any time or from time-to-time prior to expiration or other
termination of the SSAR. Except as provided in sections 4 and 5 hereof, the SSAR may not be
exercised at any time unless the Recipient shall be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary (an
Employee) at such time. So long as the Recipient shall continue to be an Employee, the SSAR
shall not be affected by (a) any temporary leave of absence approved in writing by the Company or
one of its Subsidiaries, or (b) any change of duties or position (including transfer to or from a
Subsidiary).
If the Recipient ceases to be an Employee by reason of his Retirement, all Vested SSAR shall
remain exercisable, and the Recipients right to exercise Vested SSAR shall terminate upon the last
day of the term of the SSAR. Non-Vested SSAR shall continue to Vest as provided in section 3, but
such SSAR shall be exercisable for two (2) years from the date that such SSAR Vests or, if shorter,
until the last day of the term of the SSAR, and the Recipients right to exercise such SSAR shall
terminate thereafter.
If the Recipient ceases to be an Employee due to his Disability, the SSAR shall be deemed
Vested with respect to all Shares then subject to the SSAR, and the Recipients right to exercise
the SSAR shall terminate upon the earlier of the date that is one (1) year from the date of such
cessation of employment or the last day of the term of the SSAR.
If the Recipient ceases to be an Employee by reason of his termination for Cause, this SSAR
shall terminate immediately upon such termination.
If the Recipient ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than his death, Disability,
Retirement, or termination for Cause, the SSAR may be exercised only to the extent of the exercise
rights, if any, which had accrued as of the date of such cessation pursuant to section 3 hereof and
which have not theretofore been exercised; provided, however, that upon written request, the
Committee may in its absolute discretion determine (but shall be under no obligation to determine)
that such accrued exercise rights shall be deemed to include additional Shares covered by the SSAR.
Upon any such cessation of employment, such accrued exercise rights shall in any event terminate
upon the earlier of the date that is ninety (90) days from the date of such cessation of employment
or the last day of the term of the SSAR.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Recipient any right to continue in
the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to limit or interfere in any way with the
right of the Company or any such Subsidiary to terminate his employment at any time, with or
without Cause.
5. Death of Recipient. If the Recipient dies while an Employee, such person or persons as
shall have acquired, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, the right to exercise the

then subject to the SSAR. Such exercise rights shall terminate upon the earlier of the date one
(1) year from the date of the Recipients death or the last day of the term of the SSAR. If, after
Retirement, the Recipient dies prior to the last day of the term of the SSAR, the Personal
Representative shall be entitled to exercise all unexercised SSAR, and such SSAR shall remain
exercisable, for the greater of the remainder of the exercise period (as applicable) or one (1)
year from the date of the Recipients death, but in no event shall the SSAR be exercisable after
the last day of the term of the SSAR. If the Recipient dies during the one (1) year period
commencing on the date of his termination due to his Disability, the Personal Representative shall
be entitled to exercise the SSAR, and such SSAR shall remain exercisable until one (1) year from
the date of such death, but in no event shall the SSAR be exercisable after the last day of the
term of the SSAR.
6. Vesting Acceleration and Waiver of Terms and Conditions. Upon a Change in Control, this
SSAR shall become fully exercisable as to all Shares then subject to the SSAR. The Committee also
has the power and authority to waive or accelerate the vesting provisions of the SSAR, or to waive
or modify the other terms and conditions of and restrictions and limitations on the SSAR, provided
such waiver or modification is not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan and any operative

Market) having jurisdiction over the affairs of the Company. The Recipient agrees that the
Recipient will provide the Company with such information as is reasonably requested by the Company
or its counsel to determine whether the issuance of Shares complies with the provisions of this
section.
9. Investment Representation of Recipient.
(a) The Recipient represents to the Company that the Recipient understands that, unless at the
time of exercise of the SSAR a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,

require the Recipient to represent that the Recipient is acquiring the Shares for the Recipients

Shares.
(b) The Recipient understands and agrees that the certificate or certificates representing any
Shares acquired hereunder may bear an appropriate legend relating to registration and resale under
federal and state securities laws.
10. Recoupment Right. [Section 10 language only for executive officers and vice
presidents] The Recipient acknowledges that if the Board of Directors of the Company (including a
Committee of the Board) determines that the Companys financials are restated due directly or
indirectly to the fraud, ethical misconduct, intentional misconduct or a breach of fiduciary duty
by the Recipient, the Board (or Committee) shall have sole discretion to take such actions, as
permitted by law, as it deems necessary to cancel the SSAR
and to recover all or a portion of any
gains realized in respect of the SSAR, provided such recovery cannot extend back more than three
(3) years.

the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company and the heirs, estate and Personal
Representatives of the Recipient. The SSAR shall not be transferable other than by will or the

behalf of the Recipient).

provisions of the Plan as amended from time-to-time, and to such rules, regulations, and
interpretations of the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and in effect from time-to-time. In
