DRSUs

For the IPO grants, to vest at the first annual stockholder meeting following the IPO.

GRANT OF DRSUs. The DRSUs have been granted to the Participant as an incentive for the Participant to continue to provide services to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to align the Participant’s interests with those of the Company. Each DRSU corresponds to one Common Share. Each DRSU constitutes a contingent and unsecured promise by the Company to deliver the cash equivalent of one Common Share on the settlement date, as set forth in Section 3.

VESTING; FORFEITURE. The DRSUs shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, subject to the Participant’s continuous service with the Company and its Subsidiaries through the applicable vesting date; provided, that the DRSUs shall vest upon the earliest of (i) the Participant’s Separation from Service due to the Participant’s death or physical or mental incapacity to perform his or her usual duties, with such condition likely to remain continuously and permanently, as determined by the Company and (ii) a Change in Control. All unvested DRSUs shall otherwise be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason. All DRSUs, whether vested or unvested, shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s breach of any restrictive covenants to which the Participant is subject with respect to the Company or its Affiliates.

SETTLEMENT. Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, vested DRSUs will be settled in cash, with the amount of cash delivered determined using the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the date the DRSUs are settled. The vested DRSUs shall be settled on the date that is no later than forty-five (45) days following the earlier of (i) the Participant’s Separation from Service and (ii) a Change in Control (provided that such Change in Control constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (in either case, as defined in Section 409A of the Code)), as determined in the Committee’s sole discretion.

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT PAYMENTS. Until the DRSUs settle in cash, if the Company pays a dividend on Common Shares, the Participant will be entitled to a payment in the same amount as the dividend the Participant would have received if he or she held Common Shares in respect of his or her vested and unvested DRSUs held but not previously forfeited immediately prior to the record date of the dividend (a “Dividend Equivalent”). No such Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Participant with respect to any DRSU that is thereafter cancelled or forfeited prior to the applicable vesting date. The Committee will determine the form of payment in its sole discretion and may pay Dividend Equivalents in Common Shares, cash or a combination thereof. The Company will pay the Dividend Equivalents on vested DRSUs within forty-five (45) days following the earlier of (i) the Participant’s Separation from Service and (ii) a Change in Control (provided that such Change in Control constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (in either case, as defined in Section 409A of the Code)), as determined in the Committee’s sole discretion.

NONTRANSFERABILITY. No portion of the DRSUs may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated, or pledged by the Participant, other than to the Company as a result of forfeiture of the DRSUs as provided herein, unless otherwise provided by the Committee.

TAXES. The Participant shall be solely responsible for any applicable taxes (including, without limitation, income and excise taxes) and penalties, and any interest that accrues thereon, that the Participant incurs in connection with the receipt, vesting or settlement of any DRSUs granted hereunder.

RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. The Participant will not have any rights as a stockholder in the Common Shares corresponding to the DRSUs.
