(b) Plan and Defined Terms. The Restricted Stock is granted pursuant to the Plan.

All capitalized terms that are used in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant or this Agreement and not otherwise defined therein or herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
Section 2. | FORFEITURE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS |
(a) Forfeiture.
(i)If the Grantee resigns as a director, or declines to stand for re-election at the end of a term, or is terminated as a director, the Grantee shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company the Shares of Restricted Stock that remain subject to a Period of Restriction at the time of resignation.
(ii) If the Grantee’s service as director ends due to the Grantee’s death or Disability (as defined below), and any Performance Restriction (if applicable, as defined in Exhibit A) has been satisfied as of the final date of the Grantee’s service as director, then a portion of the Shares which on the final date of service remain subject to a Time-Based Restriction (as defined in Exhibit A) shall vest and become free of the forfeiture and transfer restrictions contained in the Agreement (except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b) of this Agreement). The portion which shall vest shall be determined by the following formula (rounded to the nearest whole Share):

C = the number of Shares granted under this Agreement which vested on or prior to the final date of service.

The Grantee may be required to execute and return to the Company a blank stock power for each Restricted Stock certificate (or instruction letter, with respect to Shares registered in book-entry form), which will permit transfer to the Company, without further action, of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock that is forfeited in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 5. | DIVIDENDS |
(a) Any dividends paid with respect to Shares which remain subject to a Period of Restriction shall not be paid to the Grantee but shall be held by the Company.
(b) Such held dividends shall be subject to the same Period of Restriction as the Shares to which they relate.
(c) Any dividends held pursuant to this Section 5 which are attributable to Shares which vest pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid to the Grantee within 30 days of the applicable vesting date.

EXHIBIT A
Vesting and Restrictions
This grant is subject to both a Performance Restriction and a Time-Based Restriction, as described below (collectively, the “Period of Restriction”).
Performance Restriction
In order for the Restricted Stock to vest, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) must determine that the Company has achieved Operating Income (as defined below) during the period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 in an amount equal to or greater than $1.85 billion (the “Performance Restriction”). The “Operating Income” measurement means Operating income from the Company determined in accordance with GAAP as reported in the Company’s financial statements, excluding depreciation and amortization, merger and acquisition-related costs, asset impairment charges and other non-GAAP adjustments. Additionally, changes to the basis of measurement shall be excluded (such as prospective merger and acquisition costs, divestitures, currency, and accounting adjustments, over the existing five-year plan expense), with the goal being to measure the Company’s performance on a year-over-year basis. The Committee will evaluate whether the Operating Income has been achieved following the completion of the Company’s audit for the year ending December 31, 2014.
Time-Based Restrictions
Anniversary Date | % of Restricted Stock |
First (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date of Grant | 33.33% |
Second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date of Grant | 33.33% |
Third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date of Grant | 33.34% |
Vesting
If the Operating Income, as defined above, for the year ended December 31, 2014 has been achieved, the percentage of the Restricted Stock indicated next to each Anniversary Date shall vest on such indicated anniversary date (such three year vesting schedule referred to as the “Time-Based Restrictions”). If the Operating Income for the year ended December 31, 2014 has been not achieved, none of the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall vest and, for no consideration, will be automatically forfeited to the Company.
