LANDAUER, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
UNDER 2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Landauer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants
to NAME (the "Holder") as of DATE (the "Grant Date"), pursuant to the
provisions of the Landauer, Inc. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
"Plan"), a restricted stock award (the "Award") of NUMBER shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $.10 par value ("Shares"), upon and subject to the
restrictions, terms and conditions set forth below. Capitalized terms not
defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan.
AWARD SUBJECT TO ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT. The Award shall be null
and void unless the Holder shall (a) accept this Agreement by executing it
in the space provided below and returning it to the Company and (b) if
requested by the Company, execute and return one or more irrevocable stock
powers to facilitate the transfer to the Company (or its assignee or
nominee) of the Shares subject to the Award if Shares are forfeited
pursuant to Section 4 hereof or if required under applicable laws or
regulations. As soon as practicable after the Holder has executed this
Agreement and, if requested by the Company, such stock power or powers, and
returned the same to the Company, the Company shall cause to be issued in
the Holder's name the total number of Shares subject to the Award.
RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. The Holder shall have the right to vote the
Shares subject to the Award and to receive dividends and other
distributions thereon unless and until such Shares are forfeited pursuant
to Section 4 hereof; provided, however, that a dividend or other
distribution with respect to such Shares (including, without limitation, a
stock dividend or stock split), other than a regular cash dividend, shall
be subject to the same restrictions as the Shares with respect to which
such dividend or other distribution was made (and if the Holder shall have
received such dividend or other distribution, the Holder shall deliver the
same to the Company and shall, if requested by the Company, execute and
return one or more irrevocable stock powers related thereto).
CUSTODY AND DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING SHARES. The Shares
subject to the Award shall be held by the Company or by a custodian in book
entry form, with restrictions on the Shares duly noted, until such Award
shall have vested pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and as soon thereafter as
practicable, the vested Shares shall be delivered to the Holder as the
Holder shall direct. Alternatively, in the sole discretion of the Company,
the Company shall hold a certificate or certificates representing the
Shares subject to the Award until such Award shall have vested, in whole or
in part, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and the Company shall as soon
thereafter as practicable, deliver the certificate or certificates for the
vested Shares to the Holder and destroy the stock power or powers relating
to the vested Shares delivered by the Holder pursuant to Section 1 hereof.
If such stock power or powers also relate to unvested Shares, the Company
may require, as a condition precedent to delivery of any certificate
pursuant to this Section 3, the execution and delivery to the Company of
one or more stock powers relating to such unvested Shares. The Company
shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses
incident to the delivery of Shares to the Holder.
VESTING.
One-third of the Shares subject to the Award shall vest upon the
achievement of certain performance milestones outlined on the attached
"Landauer Inc. Performance Based Restricted Stock". One third of the
Shares subject to the Award shall vest on September 30, 2008, and the
remaining one-third of the Shares subject to the Award shall vest on
September 30, 2009.
1
If the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company by reason of
Disability or by reason of the Holder's death, each Share subject to the
Award which has not previously vested shall vest in full as of the date
that the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company.
If the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company by reason of
retirement on or after age 65 (or prior to age 65 with the consent of the
Committee), the Award shall vest with respect to the number of Shares
subject to the Award which have not previously vested multiplied by a
fraction whose numerator is the number of days between the Grant Date and
the date on which the Holder's employment terminates (including the date of
such termination) and the denominator of which the number of days between
the Grant Date and September 30, 2009.
If the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company by reason of
involuntary termination without cause, the Award shall vest with respect to
the number of Shares subject to the Award which have not previously vested
multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the number of days between the
Grant Date and the date on which the Holder's employment terminates
(including the date of such termination) and the denominator of which the
number of days between the Grant Date and September 30, 2009. Notwith-
standing this provision, where the Holder is employed pursuant to an
employment agreement in effect prior to the date of the Award that provides
for the vesting in full of stock option awards upon involuntary termination
without cause, the Shares subject to this award shall also vest in full.
If the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason
other than Disability, death, retirement on or after age 65 (or prior to
age 65 with the consent of the Committee) or involuntary termination
without cause, each Share subject to the Award which has not vested prior
thereto shall be forfeited by the Holder and shall be transferred, without
payment of any consideration to the Holder, to the Company (or its assignee
or nominee) and all rights of the Holder to or with respect to such Share
shall terminate; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its
discretion, accelerate the vesting thereof.
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARD.
NONTRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD. Prior to the vesting of the Shares
subject to the Award, such Shares may not be transferred by the Holder
other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to
beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company. Except to the
extent permitted by the foregoing, such unvested Shares may not be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise
disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or encumber or otherwise dispose of
such Shares, the Award and all rights thereunder shall immediately become
null and void.
INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. The Holder hereby represents and
covenants that (a) any Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Award will
be acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), unless such acquisition has been registered under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities law; (b) any subsequent
sale of any such Shares shall be made either pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act and such state securities laws; and (c) if requested by the
Company, the Holder shall submit a written statement, in form satisfactory
to the Company, to the effect that such representation (x) is true and
correct as of the date of acquisition of any Shares hereunder or (y) is
true and correct as of the date of any sale of any such Shares, as
applicable. As a further condition precedent to the delivery to the Holder
2
of any Shares subject to the Award, the Holder shall comply with all
regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of
or supervision over the issuance of the Shares and, in connection
therewith, shall execute any documents which the Board or the Committee
shall in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable.
COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. The Award is subject to the
condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares
subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the
consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other
action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with,
the vesting or delivery of such Shares, the Shares subject to the Award
shall not vest or be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have
been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the
Company. The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain
any such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other
action.
AWARD CONFERS NO RIGHTS TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. In no event shall
the granting of the Award or its acceptance by the Holder give or be deemed
to give the Holder any right to continue as an employee of the Company.
DECISIONS OF BOARD OR COMMITTEE. The Board or the Committee shall
have the right to resolve all questions which may arise in connection with
the Award. Any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken
by the Board or the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be
final, binding and conclusive.

provisions of the Plan and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.
The Holder hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.
