1.2    “Good Reason” means:

(a)    If Participant has an Employment Agreement that defines “good reason” (or words of like import), the meaning set forth in Participant’s Employment Agreement; or

(b)    If Participant does not have an Employment Agreement, or if Participant’s Employment Agreement does not define “good reason” (or words of like import), the occurrence of any of the following events without the written consent of Participant, unless such events are fully corrected in all material respects by the Company within thirty (30) days following written notification by Participant to the Company of the occurrence of one of the conditions set forth below: (i) a material reduction in Participant’s base salary or target annual bonus opportunity other than a general reduction in base salary or target annual bonus opportunity that affects all similarly situated employees in substantially the same proportions; (ii) a material diminution in Participant’s duties, authorities or responsibilities (other than temporarily while Participant is physically or mentally incapacitated or as required by applicable law and excluding duties, authorities or responsibilities that have been assigned to Participant on a temporary or interim basis); or (iii) a relocation of Participant’s primary work location by more than fifty (50) miles from Participant’s primary work location immediately prior to such relocation.

Otherwise, any claim of such circumstances as Good Reason will be deemed irrevocably waived by Participant.

ARTICLE II.

GENERAL

2.1    Award of RSUs. The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares or payment of any cash until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested.

2.2    Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.

2.3    Unsecured Promise. The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.

ARTICLE III.

VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT

3.1    Vesting. The RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Grant Notice:

(a)    In the event Participant incurs a Termination of Service due to Participant’s death or Disability, any unvested RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to Participant’s Termination of Service will automatically vest upon Participant’s Termination of Service;

(b)    In the event a Change in Control is consummated and the RSUs are not assumed or substituted, any unvested RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control will automatically vest immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control; and

(c)    In the event Participant incurs a Termination of Service due to an involuntary termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason, in each case, within two (2) years following the consummation of a Change in Control, any unvested RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to Participant’s Termination of Service will automatically vest upon Participant’s Termination of Service.

3.2    Forfeiture. Except as explicitly provided in Section 3.1, in the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, any RSUs that are not vested will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited as of the date of such Termination of Service at no cost to the Company.

3.3    Dividend Equivalents. In the event that the Company declares and pays a cash dividend in respect of its outstanding Shares and, on the record date for such dividend, Participant holds RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall record the amount of such dividend in a bookkeeping account and pay to Participant an amount in cash equal to the cash dividends Participant would have received if Participant was the holder of record, as of such record date, of a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs held by Participant that have not been settled as of such record date, such payment to be made on the date on which such RSUs are settled in accordance with Section 3.4 (the “Dividend Equivalents”). For purposes of clarity, if any of the RSUs are forfeited by Participant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then Participant shall also forfeit the Dividend Equivalents, if any, accrued with respect to such forfeited RSUs. No interest will accrue on the Dividend Equivalents between the declaration and payment of the applicable dividends and the settlement of the Dividend Equivalents.

3.4    Settlement. As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of RSUs pursuant to Section 3.1, but in no event later than 60 days after such vesting date, the Company shall deliver to Participant a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award. All Shares issued hereunder shall be delivered either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares to Participant or by entering such shares in book-entry form, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The value of Shares shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time.

ARTICLE IV.

TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING

4.1    Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

4.2    Tax Withholding. To the extent that the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award results in compensation income or wages to Participant for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any income tax, social insurance contribution or other applicable taxes that are required to be withheld in respect of this Award, which arrangements include the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Shares (including previously owned Shares (which is not subject to any pledge or other security interest), net settlement, a broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable or delivered pursuant to this Award), other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate. If such tax obligations are satisfied through net settlement or the surrender of previously owned Shares, the maximum number of Shares that may be so withheld (or surrendered) shall be the number of Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or surrender equal to the aggregate amount of such tax liabilities determined based on the greatest withholding rates for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment for the Company with respect to this Award, as determined by the Committee. Any fraction of a Share required to satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash to Participant. Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award or disposition of the underlying shares and that Participant has been advised, and hereby is advised, to consult a tax advisor. Participant represents that Participant is in no manner relying on the Board, the Committee, the Company or an Affiliate or any of their respective managers, directors, officers, employees or authorized representatives (including attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers, lenders, prospective lenders and financial representatives) for tax advice or an assessment of such tax consequences.

5.11    Legends.

If the Shares issued hereunder are held in book-entry form, then such entry will reflect that the Shares are subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

5.12    No Right to Continued Service or Awards. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the service of the Company or any Affiliate or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and Participant. The grant of the RSUs is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards in the future. Any future Awards will be granted at the sole discretion of the Company.

5.13    Satisfaction of Claims. Any issuance or transfer of Shares or other property to Participant or Participant’s legal representative, heir, legatee or distribute, in accordance with the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all claims of such person hereunder.
