Form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement for Non-Employee Directors (Deferred Retainer Grant)

Governing Law/Jurisdiction/Resolution of Disputes.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, USA without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, to be held in the state of Connecticut, USA in accordance with the commercial rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and subject to appeal only to the extent permitted by law. Each party shall bear such party's own expenses incurred in connection with any arbitration; provided, however, that the cost of the arbitration, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees of the Grantee, shall be borne by the Company in the event the Grantee is the prevailing party in the arbitration. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, each party hereto has the right to proceed with a court action for injunctive relief or relief from violations of law not within the jurisdiction of an arbitrator.  If any costs of the arbitration borne by the Company in accordance herewith would constitute compensation to the Grantee for United States federal income tax purposes, then the amount of any such costs reimbursed to the Grantee in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such costs reimbursable to the Grantee in any other taxable year, the Grantee’s right to reimbursement of any such costs shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit, and the reimbursement of any such costs incurred by the Grantee shall be made as soon as administratively practicable, but in any event within ten (10) days, after the date the Grantee is determined to be the prevailing party in the arbitration.  The Grantee shall be responsible for submitting claims for reimbursement in a timely manner to enable payment within the timeframe provided herein.

Notices.  Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or when mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Grantee at the last address specified in Grantee's records with the Company, or such other address as the Grantee may designate in writing to the Company, or to the Company, Attention:  Corporate Secretary, or such other address as the Company may designate in writing to the Grantee.

Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver.  The failure of either party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall represent one and the same agreement.

Modifications; Entire Agreement; Headings.  Subject to Section 6(b), any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and, in the case of any amendment that adversely affects the Grantee’s rights hereunder, such writing must be executed by the Grantee.  This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement inures to the benefit of, and is binding upon, the Company and its successors-in-interest and its assigns, and the Grantee, the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.  The section headings herein are intended for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof.

Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

It is intended that this Agreement comply in all respects with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the applicable Treasury Regulations and other generally applicable guidance issued thereunder (collectively, the “Applicable Regulations”), and this Agreement shall be interpreted for all purposes in accordance with this intent.

Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement (including any term or provision of the Plan incorporated herein by reference), the parties hereto agree that, from time to time, the Company may, without prior notice to or consent of the Grantee, amend this Agreement to the extent determined by the Company, in the exercise of its discretion in good faith, to be necessary or advisable to prevent the premature inclusion in the Grantee’s gross income pursuant to the Applicable Regulations of any compensation intended to be deferred hereunder. The Company shall notify the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable of any such amendment affecting the Grantee.

In the event that the amounts payable under this Agreement are subject to any taxes, penalties or interest under the Applicable Regulations, the Grantee shall be solely liable for the payment of any such taxes, penalties or interest.  Although the Company intends to administer the Plan and this Agreement to prevent adverse taxation under the Applicable Regulations, the Company does not represent nor warrant that the Plan or this Agreement complies with any provision of federal, state, local or other tax law.
