I. GENERAL
     1.1 Defined Terms. Wherever the following terms are used herein they shall have the meanings specified below, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined therein, the Plan.
     “Job Elimination” means Participant’s Termination of Employment by the Company or any Subsidiary under circumstances satisfying each of the following conditions, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company: (a) Participant’s Termination of Employment results in or is part of a net headcount reduction of one or more employees; (b) Participant is not offered a comparable position with the Company, a subsidiary or a successor entity or an affiliate of the Company or a subsidiary; and (c) the Company provides written notice to Participant prior to his or her Termination of Employment that it has determined Employee’s Termination of Employment is a “job elimination.”
     “Termination of Employment” shall mean the time when the employee-employer relationship between Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, with or without cause, including, without limitation, a termination by resignation, discharge, death, disability or retirement, but excluding terminations where there is a simultaneous reemployment or continuing employment of Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary. The Administrator, in its discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to Participant’s Termination of Employment, including, without limitation, the question of whether such Termination of Employment resulted from a discharge for cause. For purposes of the Terms, Participant’s employee-employer relationship shall be deemed to be terminated in the event that the Subsidiary employing Participant ceases to remain a Subsidiary following any merger, sale of stock or other corporate transaction or event (including, without limitation, a spin-off).
     1.2 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Restricted Stock Units evidenced by the Grant Notice and the Terms is also subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.
II. GRANT, VESTING AND DISTRIBUTION OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
     2.1 Grant of Restricted Stock Units. In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or its Subsidiaries and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the grant date specified on the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company irrevocably grants to Participant an award of the number of Restricted Stock Units specified on

 


 

the Grant Notice, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Grant Notice and the Terms. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Stock”), at the time the Restricted Stock Unit is available for distribution on a deferred basis in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and the Terms.
     2.2 Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice and Section 2.3 below, or at such earlier times as are set forth in a written agreement between the Company and Participant. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in accordance with the preceding sentence, Participant shall have no right to any distribution made with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. In the event of Participant’s Termination of Employment prior to the vesting of all of the Restricted Stock Units, any Restricted Stock Units which remain unvested at such time will terminate automatically and be forfeited without further notice and at no cost to the Company.
     2.3 Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.2 or the Grant Notice, all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on an accelerated basis under the following circumstances:
          (a) if Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs by reason of Participant’s Job Elimination and, prior to the expiration of 55 days following the date of Participant’s termination of Employment or such earlier date as may be specified by the Company, Participant executes and delivers, and does not revoke, a general waiver and release of all claims against the Company and its subsidiaries and the employees, directors, agents and affiliates of the Company and its subsidiaries, in a form acceptable to the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, then a number of Restricted Stock Units shall become vested upon the date such general waiver and release of all claims becomes effective and irrevocable, the number of which will be equal to the total number of Restricted Stock Units specified in the Grant Notice, as adjusted pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Plan, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the Grant Date until the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment, and the denominator of which is the number of months during the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (i.e., the number of months from the Grant Date until the date Participant would otherwise vest in the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.2 based solely on continued employment);
          (b) if Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs by reason of Participant’s death or permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), then the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested immediately prior to Participant’s Termination of Employment; and
          (c) if a Change in Control occurs prior to Participant’s Termination of Employment, then the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control.
     2.4 Distribution of Stock.
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Terms, the shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units shall be distributed to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) no later than 10 days following the date such Restricted Stock Units vest under Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 (each vesting occurrence, a “Distribution Event”).

In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or a Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date, the Company irrevocably grants to Participant Dividend Equivalent Rights (as defined below) with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit that vests pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Terms. “Dividend Equivalent Right” means a right to receive an amount equal to the aggregate amount of dividends, if any, paid to the Company’s stockholders on one share of Stock where the record date(s) for such dividends occurred during the period from the Grant Date through and including the day immediately preceding the date the share of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Unit to which such Dividend Equivalent Right relates is distributed to Participant pursuant to Section 2.4. Each Dividend Equivalent Right shall be paid, if at all, in cash or shares of Stock, at the Company’s election, at the time the share of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Unit to which such Dividend Equivalent Right relates is distributed to Participant pursuant to Section 2.4. Each Dividend Equivalent Right shall terminate as of the date the share of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Unit to which such Dividend Equivalent Right relates is distributed. Dividend Equivalent Rights shall not be paid to Participant for any Restricted Stock Units that do not vest pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 above.
     2.6 Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates. The shares of Stock deliverable upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Dividend Equivalent Rights, or any portion of either, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Dividend Equivalent Rights, or any portion of either, prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
          (a) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Stock is then listed;
          (b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;
          (c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;
          (d) The receipt by the Company (or other employer) of full payment of all amounts which, under federal, state or local tax law, the Company (or other employer) is required to withhold upon issuance of such shares; and
          (e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the applicable Distribution Event as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.
     2.7 Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Rights shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares issuable or deliverable upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Rights, or any part thereof, unless and until such shares shall have been issued by the Company to such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).
