The number of PSUs granted under this Agreement is [_________] units (the “Awarded Units”). Each Awarded Unit shall be a notional share of Common Stock, with the value of each Awarded Unit being equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at any time. The “Date of Grant” of this Award is [_________].

2. Subject to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

This Agreement is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee and communicated to the Participant in writing. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

3. Vesting of Awarded Units. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Awarded Units shall become vested on the applicable Vesting Date (as defined on Exhibit A, attached hereto), based on the achievement of the performance goals and the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A, and rounded up or down to the nearest whole unit (the “Performance Vesting Conditions”). Any Awarded Units which have become vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Vested PSUs,” and any Awarded Units that, at the particular time of determination, have not become vested in accordance with this Agreement shall be collectively referred to herein as “Non-Vested PSUs.”

4. Forfeiture of Awarded Units. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 and Exhibit A, upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, the Participant shall be deemed to have forfeited all of the Participant’s Non-Vested PSUs. Upon forfeiture, all of the Participant’s rights with respect to the forfeited Non-Vested PSUs shall cease and terminate, without any further obligations on the part of the Company.

5. Conversion of Vested PSUs; Payment. Subject to Section 25 and Section 26 hereof, any Awarded Units that vest in accordance with Section 3 and become Vested PSUs shall be converted into shares of Common Stock and paid to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s estate) on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the applicable Vesting Date (but in any event, within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Awarded Units vest and become Vested PSUs).

6. Dividend Equivalents. If any dividends or other distributions are paid with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Awarded Units while the Awarded Units are outstanding, (i) the dollar amount or Fair Market Value of such dividends or distributions with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock then underlying the Awarded Units shall be credited to a bookkeeping account and held (without interest) by the Company for the account of the Participant until the date the Awarded Units become Vested PSUs and are converted and paid; and (ii) such dividend equivalents withheld pursuant to clause (i) attributable to any Awarded Units shall be distributed to such Participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividend equivalents, if applicable, upon the date such Awarded Units become Vested PSUs and are converted and paid. Such dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture provisions as the Awarded Units to which they relate. Any accrued amounts with respect to Non-Vested PSUs shall be forfeited upon any forfeiture of the related Non-Vested PSUs.

7. No Fractional Shares. Awarded Units may be converted only with respect to full shares, and no fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued.

8. Nonassignability. This Award and the Awarded Units are not assignable or transferable by the Participant, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

9. Rights of a Stockholder.

The Awarded Units shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6 and Section 10 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock. The Participant, by his or her execution of this Agreement, agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Vested PSUs.

10. Adjustment to Number of Awarded Units. The number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Awarded Units shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 11-13 of the Plan.

12. Participant’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock to the Participant hereunder, if the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any such determination by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The rights and obligations of the Company and the rights and obligations of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws.

13. Investment Representation. Unless the shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Vested PSUs are issued to the Participant in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by his or her execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Stock which may be acquired hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for his or her own account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state securities laws. Unless the Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Vested PSUs is issued to him or her in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

Notice to the Participant shall be addressed and delivered as set forth on the signature page.

25. Section 409A. The Award is intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the rules and regulations issued thereunder (“Section 409A”) and shall be construed accordingly. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any payments and benefits to which Section 409A applies, if the Participant is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to avoid subjecting the Participant to the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i), shall not be paid to the Participant during such period, but shall instead be accumulated and paid to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s estate) in a lump sum on the first business day after the earlier of the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service or the Participant’s death. It is intended that each conversion and settlement of shares of Common Stock to be delivered under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.

26. Tax Requirements. The Participant is hereby advised to consult immediately with his or her own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of this Agreement. The Company or, if applicable, any Subsidiary (for purposes of this Section 26, the term “Company” shall be deemed to include any applicable Subsidiary), shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid in cash or other form in connection with the Plan, any federal, state, local, or other taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with this Award. The Company shall, prior to the date of conversion, require the Participant receiving shares of

-4-

Common Stock upon conversion of Vested PSUs to pay the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company is required to withhold in connection with the Participant’s income arising with respect to this Award. Such payment must be made prior to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock by the Company’s withholding of a number of shares to be delivered upon the conversion of such Vested PSUs, which shares so withheld have an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals (but does not exceed) the required tax withholding payment (the “Net Settlement of Shares”), provided that, the Committee (excluding the Participant if the Participant is a member of the Committee) may, in its sole discretion, instead permit the satisfaction of the tax withholding obligation (A) by the delivery of cash to the Company in an amount that equals the required tax withholding obligations of the Company; (B) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, the actual delivery by the Participant to the Company of shares of Common Stock, which shares so delivered have an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals or exceeds (to avoid the issuance of fractional shares) the required tax withholding payment; or (C) any combination of (A), (B), or the Net Settlement of Shares. The Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold any such taxes from any other cash remuneration otherwise paid by the Company to the Participant; provided, however, if the Participant is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 1.409A-1(i) of the final regulations under Section 409A of the Code who is subject to the six (6) months delay provided for in Section 25 above, the Company shall withhold the number of shares attributable to the employment taxes on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service and withhold the number of shares attributable to the income taxes on the date which occurs six (6) months following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant).
