The Deferred Stock Units shall become vested in accordance with Article II, Section 3 hereof. Each Deferred Stock Unit shall represent the right to receive one Common Share (or cash equal

to the Market Value per Share) when the Deferred Stock Unit vests and shall at all times be equal in value to one hypothetical Common Share (or the Market Value per Share if settled in cash). The Deferred Stock Units shall be credited to the Grantee in an account established for the Grantee until payment in accordance with Article II, Section 4 hereof.

2.Restrictions on Transfer of the Deferred Stock Units. Neither the Deferred Stock Units granted hereby, nor any interest therein or in the Common Shares related thereto, shall be transferable prior to payment other than by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution (or to a designated beneficiary in the event of the Grantee’s death).

3.Vesting of the Deferred Stock Units. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Grantee’s compliance with the provisions set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”), the Deferred Stock Units conditionally vest as follows:

(a)The Deferred Stock Units covered by this Agreement shall vest in three installments, one-third of the Deferred Stock Units shall vest on each of the first anniversary and second anniversary of the Date of Grant (or, if such date is not a business day, then on the next succeeding business day) and the remainder shall vest on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant (or, if such date is not a business day, then on the next succeeding business day), subject to the Grantee’s continuous service with the Company or a Subsidiary (“Continuous Service”) on each of these dates.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of Article II, Section 3(a), with respect to any Grantee who is or becomes Retirement Eligible, all of the Deferred Stock Units covered by this Agreement shall vest on the later of (i) the first anniversary of the Date of Grant or (ii) the date the Grantee becomes Retirement Eligible (or, if any of the above such dates is not a business day, then on the next succeeding business day).

(c)Notwithstanding the provisions of Article II, Section 3(a), if the Grantee leaves the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary following two years after the Date of Grant under circumstances determined by the Committee to be for the convenience of the Company, all of the Deferred Stock Units covered by this Agreement shall vest on such date.

(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of Article II, Section 3(a), if the following occur: (i) the death of the Grantee, (ii) the Grantee’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for Disability, or (iii) the occurrence of a Change in Control, then all of the Deferred Stock Units covered by this Agreement shall vest on such applicable date.

4.Settlement of the Deferred Stock Units.

(a)     The Company shall issue to the Grantee the Common Shares underlying the vested Deferred Stock Units or, in the Committee’s discretion, shall pay the Grantee cash equal to the Market Value per Share on the vesting date of each Common Share underlying the vested Deferred Stock Units, as soon as practicable, but not later than 10 days, after such shares have vested in accordance with Article II, Section 3 above.

(b)     Except to the extent permitted by the Company and the Plan, no Common Shares may be issued, and no cash may be paid with respect to the Deferred Stock Units, to the Grantee at a time earlier than otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

(c)    The Company’s obligations to the Grantee with respect to the Deferred Stock Units shall be satisfied in full upon the issuance of the Common Shares or the payment of cash equal to the Market Value per Share for each Common Share corresponding to such Deferred Stock Units.

5.Dividend, Voting and Other Rights.

(a)    The Grantee shall have no rights of ownership in the Deferred Stock Units and shall have no right to dividends and no right to vote the Deferred Stock Units until the date on which the Deferred Stock Units are settled in Common Shares pursuant to Article II, Section 4 above.

(b)     The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver Common Shares or cash in the future, and the rights of the Grantee shall be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor. No assets of the Company shall be held or set aside as security for the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.

6.Forfeiture of Shares. The Deferred Stock Units shall be forfeited, except as otherwise provided in Article II, Section 3 above, if the Grantee ceases to be in Continuous Service prior to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant or in the event the Committee determines the Grantee has engaged in Detrimental Activity, as such term is defined in the Plan.

7.Compliance with Law. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal, state, and foreign securities laws; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement if the issuance thereof would result in a violation of any such law.

8.Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Company or any Subsidiary is required to withhold federal, state, local, or foreign taxes in connection with the Deferred Stock Units or any delivery of Common Shares or payment of cash pursuant to this Agreement, and the amounts available to the Company or such Subsidiary for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of the Deferred Stock Units or such delivery of Common Shares or payment of cash that the Grantee make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld. The Grantee hereby elects to satisfy this withholding obligation by having withheld, from the Common Shares otherwise deliverable to the Grantee, Common Shares having a value equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to

be withheld. The Common Shares so retained shall be credited against such withholding requirement at the Market Value per Share on the date of such retention. The Company may, at the request of the Grantee, withhold Common Shares for payment of taxes in excess of the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company withhold Common Shares for payment of taxes in excess of the maximum statutory individual tax rate in the jurisdiction(s) applicable to the Grantee.

9.Continuous Service. For purposes of this Agreement, the Continuous Service of the Grantee with the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company or Subsidiary, by reason of the (a) transfer of his or her employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries or (b) a leave of absence approved by a duly constituted officer of the Company or a Subsidiary.

10.Right to Terminate Employment. No provision of this Agreement shall limit in any way whatsoever any right that the Company or a Subsidiary may otherwise have to terminate the employment of the Grantee at any time. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create a contract or a right to employment with respect to the Grantee.

11.Relation to Other Benefits. Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee under this Agreement or the Plan shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit-sharing, retirement, or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary and shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company or a Subsidiary.

12.Amendments. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall impair the rights of the Grantee under this Agreement without the Grantee’s consent; further provided, however, that the Grantee’s consent shall not be required to an amendment that is deemed necessary by the Company to ensure compliance with (or exemption from) Section 409A of the Code or the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder.

13.Severability. In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

14.Relation to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. The Committee acting pursuant to the Plan, as constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, have the right to determine any questions which arise in connection with the grant of the Deferred Stock Units.

15.Nature of Grant. The Grantee agrees that: (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and it may be modified, amended, suspended, or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) the grant of the Deferred Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of deferred stock units, or benefits in substitution of deferred stock units, even if deferred stock units have been granted repeatedly in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future deferred stock units grants shall be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) participation in the Plan is voluntary; (e) the Deferred Stock Units are not a part of normal or expected pay package for any purposes; (f) if the Grantee is a Covered Employee within the meaning of the Company’s Clawback of Incentive Compensation Policy (the “Policy”), he or she acknowledges and accepts the terms and conditions of the Policy as in effect on the Date of Grant; and (g) in consideration of the grant of the Deferred Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall be created by any forfeiture or other termination of the Deferred Stock Units or diminution in value of the Deferred Stock Units, and the Grantee releases the Company and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise. If any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been created, then, by signing this Agreement, the Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Grantee’s entitlement to pursue such claim.

16.Restrictive Covenants. By executing this Agreement, the Grantee hereby agrees to the terms and conditions set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.

17.Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to the Deferred Stock Units and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or future awards that may be granted under the Plan, by electronic means or request the Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

Accordingly, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has been advised to consult his or her personal legal and tax advisors in connection with this Agreement and the Deferred Stock Units.

21.Notices. Any notice hereunder by the Grantee shall be given to the Company in writing and such notice shall be deemed duly given only upon receipt thereof by the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices. Any notice hereunder

The Grantee understands that the Company and its Subsidiaries hold (but only process or transfer to the extent required or permitted by local law) the following personal information about the Grantee: the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Common Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to Common Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan (“Data”). The Grantee understands that Data may be transferred to third parties assisting in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan, including [List administrator(s)], that these recipients may be located in the Grantee’s country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than those that apply in the Grantee’s country. The Grantee understands that the Grantee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Grantee’s local human resources representative.

The Grantee understands that Data shall be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and in accordance with local law. The Grantee understands that the Grantee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data, or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Grantee’s local human resources representative.

23.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

24.Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

    6.     Injunctive and Other Available Relief.

    To the extent not prohibited by law, any cancellation of the Deferred Stock Units pursuant to any of Sections 2 through 5 above shall not restrict, abridge, or otherwise limit in any fashion the types and scope of injunctive and other available relief to the Company. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing under this Agreement shall limit, abridge, modify, or otherwise restrict the Company (or any Affiliated Company) from pursuing any or all legal, equitable, or other appropriate remedies to which the Company may be entitled under any other agreement with the Grantee, any other plan, program, policy, or arrangement of the Company (or any Affiliated Company) under which the Grantee is covered or participates, or any applicable law, all to the fullest extent not prohibited under applicable law.

    7.     Permitted Reporting and Disclosure.

    Notwithstanding any language in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Grantee from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or governmental entity, or making other disclosures that are protected under federal law or regulation; provided, that, in each case such communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance is the Grantee authorized to disclose any information covered by the Company’s attorney-client privilege or attorney work product or the Company’s trade secrets without prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel. Any reporting or disclosure permitted under this Section 7 shall not result in the cancellation of the Deferred Stock Units. The Grantee is entitled to certain immunities from liability under state and federal law for disclosing trade secrets if the disclosure was made to report or investigate an alleged violation of law, subject to certain conditions.

    8.     Severability.

    If any provisions of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be modified rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the parties to the extent possible. If any provision in this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any non-material reason, and cannot be modified to make it enforceable, the remaining provisions shall be construed as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included. In any event, all other provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible.
