You are hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney before entering into the restrictions outlined in this Section 2. You acknowledge that prior to acceptance of this Agreement, you have been advised by the Company of your right to seek independent advice from an attorney of your own selection regarding this Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon you pursuant to this Section 2. You acknowledge that you have entered into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the provisions of this Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel. You further represent that in entering into this Agreement, you are not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the Company's directors, officers, employees or agents which are not expressly set forth herein, and that you are relying only upon your own judgment and any advice provided by your attorney. You acknowledge that you have been provided at minimum 14 calendar days to review the provisions contained herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2 is intended to or shall limit, prevent, impede or interfere with your non-waivable right, without prior notice to the Company, to provide information to the government, participate in investigations, testify in proceedings regarding the Company or any Subsidiary’s past or future conduct, engage in any activities protected under whistleblower statutes, or to receive and fully retain a monetary award from a government-administered whistleblower award program for providing information directly to a government agency.

5.Change in Control.
a.Notwithstanding anything in Sections 3 and 4 of this Award to the contrary, if a Change in Control of the Company occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, and the successor corporation (or parent thereof) does not assume this Award or replace it with an economically equivalent award, then the target number of PSUs for the Performance Period during which such Change in Control occurs shall become fully earned, assuming achievement of the applicable performance criteria at the target performance level; provided, however that, with respect to any Award that is assumed or replaced, such assumed or replaced Award shall (i) no longer be subject to any performance condition, which shall be deemed satisfied at the target performance level for such assumed or replaced Award (i.e., the Payout Factor shall be deemed to equal one (1)), and (ii) be subject only to a time-based vesting period substantially equivalent to the applicable remaining Performance Period for such award; provided, further, that replacement awards shall be subject to accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of any of the following within 24 months following such Change in Control (or such lesser period as may remain in the Performance Period) (each a “Qualifying Termination”): (A) if you are involuntarily terminated for a reason other than Cause, (B) if you resign for Good Reason, or (C) you are eligible or become eligible for Retirement. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “Change in Control,” “Cause,” and “Good Reason” are defined in the Omnibus Plan. In the event that your employment is terminated for any reason prior to satisfying the time-based vesting condition, other than pursuant to a Qualifying Termination, the Award shall immediately and automatically be forfeited.
b.Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, all PSUs that become earned pursuant to Section 5(a) above by reason of the failure of the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the Change in Control to assume this Award or replace it with an economically equivalent award shall be settled within 30 days of the consummation of the Change in Control.
c.Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period and the subsequent assumption or replacement of this Award with an economically equivalent award by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the Change in Control, the settlement of any such assumed or replacement award that becomes payable to you on account of your Qualifying Termination shall be settled within 30 days following such Qualifying Termination; provided, however that in the event that you are eligible or become eligible for Retirement prior to a Qualifying Termination, such award will be settled no later than March 15 of the calendar year following later of (x) the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs, or (y) the calendar year in which you are eligible or become eligible for Retirement.

9.Tax-Related Items.
a.Responsibility for Taxes. By accepting the Award, you acknowledge and agree that:
i.regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”), you shall be ultimately responsible for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the LRIP and the Omnibus Plan and legally applicable to you or legally imposed on the Company or the Employer as a result of your participation in the LRIP and the Omnibus Plan and deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to you (“Tax-Related Items”);
ii.your liability for Tax-Related Items may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer;
iii.the Company and/or the Employer make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting, earning, or settlement of the PSUs, and the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement, if any;
iv.the Company and/or the Employer do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result; and
v.if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
b.    Withholding Taxes. In connection with any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
i.withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to you in connection with settlement and payment of the PSUs; or
ii.withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement and payment of the PSUs, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization).
Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory or other withholding rates, including minimum and maximum rates applicable in the relevant jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock), or if not refunded, you may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, you may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the earned PSUs, notwithstanding that a
6


number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock, or the proceeds of the sale of such shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
c.    Withholding Taxes for Section 16 Officers. Notwithstanding Section 9(b) above, if you are considered an officer for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, you may elect to satisfy your obligations for Tax-Related Items by one of the withholding methods set forth in Section 9(b)(i) - (ii) above, unless otherwise set forth in any applicable International Appendix for your country. In the absence of such an election, the Company and/or the Employer will satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable in connection with the applicable earned PSUs, as set forth in Section 9(b)(i), unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities laws, or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items will be satisfied by the methods set forth in Section 9(b)(ii) above.
10.Voting and Other Rights.
a.You shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company in respect of the PSUs, including the right to vote and to receive cash dividends and other distributions until delivery of certificate or equivalent representing shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of the PSUs.
b.The grant of PSUs does not confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary or to interfere with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate your employment at any time.
11.Funding. No assets or shares of Common Stock shall be segregated or earmarked by the Company in respect of any PSUs awarded hereunder. The grant of PSUs hereunder shall not constitute a trust and shall be solely for the purpose of recording an unsecured contractual obligation of the Company.

7


h.the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the PSUs is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
i.except as otherwise provided in this agreement, in the Omnibus Plan or the LRIP, or by the Company in its discretion, the PSUs and the benefits evidenced by the Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the PSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock of the Company;
