Form of Officers and Key Employees Performance Stock Unit Agreement

    

Subject to Section 7 below, at the conclusion of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the number of Performance Stock Units that shall vest, if any, by multiplying the Performance Percentage (determined in accordance with the schedule attached as Appendix A) by the number of Performance Stock Units.

The Company shall settle each vested Performance Stock Unit by issuing a Share to the Grantee. Vested Performance Stock Units will be settled as soon as possible following the conclusion of the Performance Period (or as otherwise provided in Section 7), but in no event later than the March 15th of the calendar year following the vesting date.

The Grantee shall be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Right for each vested Performance Stock Unit. A Dividend Equivalent Right entitles the Grantee to receive an amount equal to any dividends paid on a Share, which dividends have a record date between the Grant Date and the settlement date of the Performance Stock Unit. At the same time that vested Performance Stock Units are settled, the Company shall settle each Dividend Equivalent Right by issuing Shares to the Grantee. The amount payable with respect to a dividend under a Dividend Equivalent Right shall be paid in a number of Shares determined by using the Fair Market Value of Shares as of the date such dividend is paid to holders of Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Shares to be issued to the Grantee with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights that vest on a given vesting date shall be determined by rounding to the nearest whole number.

The Grantee will not have any shareholder rights with respect to the Performance Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Rights, including the right to vote or receive dividends, until Shares are issued to the Grantee in settlement of the vested Performance Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights.

    

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Agreement:

Any Performance Stock Units that have not previously vested shall be deemed vested at the target level of performance as of the date of any Termination within two years following a Change in Control (i) by the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate or any successor entity for any reason other than for Cause or (ii) by the Grantee within 90 days after there is (a) a material adverse change in the nature of the Grantee’s duties or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, provided that merely ceasing to be an officer of a public company shall not, by itself, constitute a material adverse change for purposes of this provision, (b) a material reduction in the Grantee’s base compensation or incentive compensation opportunities from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or as they respectively may be increased thereafter from time to time or (c) a mandatory relocation of Grantee’s principal place of work in excess of 50 miles.

Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be determined in accordance with Section 4 hereof as if the date of Termination were the end of the Performance Period.

Any Performance Stock Units that vest pursuant to this Section 7 shall be settled as soon as possible following the Termination but in no event later than 60 days following the date of the Termination.

For purposes of this Section 7, “Cause” means conduct involving one or more of the following: (i) the substantial and continuing failure of the Grantee to perform substantially all of his or her duties to the Company in accordance with the Grantee’s obligations and position with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after 30 days’ notice from the Company, such notice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such failure, and in the event the Grantee fails to cure such breach or failure within 30 days of notice from the Company, if such breach or failure is capable of cure; (ii) the violation of a Company policy, which violation could reasonably be expected to result in Termination; (iii) dishonesty, gross negligence, breach of fiduciary duty; (iv) the commission by the Grantee of an act of fraud or embezzlement, as found by a court of competent jurisdiction; (v) the conviction of the Grantee of a felony; or (vi) a material breach of the terms of an agreement with the Company, provided that the Company provides the Grantee with adequate notice of such breach and the Grantee fails to cure such breach, if the breach is reasonably curable, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice.

No portion of this award shall be transferable during the Grantee's lifetime. The Grantee may, from time to time, designate one or more beneficiary or beneficiaries (including contingently or successively) to whom any award under this Agreement shall be paid in case of the Grantee's death. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Grantee, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company and shall be effective only when filed by the Grantee in writing with the Company during the Grantee's lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, in the event of the Grantee's death, awards under this Agreement shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The transferability of the Shares issued in settlement of the Performance Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights may also be limited in accordance with any legend on the certificate(s) representing such Shares that restricts the transferability of the Shares.

The Company's obligation to deliver certificate(s) representing Shares issued to settle vested Performance Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be subject to the satisfaction of applicable tax withholding requirements, including federal, state and local requirements. Unless, prior to the end of the Performance Period (or, in the case of a Termination described in Section 7, settlement of the Performance Stock Units and any Dividend Equivalent Rights), the Grantee notifies the Company of the Grantee’s intention to remit (and before the settlement date the Grantee does actually remit) sufficient funds to the Company or the Grantee's employer to satisfy all applicable withholding requirements prior to the date Shares are to be delivered to the Grantee, then, subject to applicable law, the Company or the Grantee's employer shall withhold Shares otherwise deliverable to the Grantee with a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding requirements.

The Committee may from time to time amend the terms of this Agreement to the extent it deems appropriate to carry out the terms and provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment materially adverse to the economic interests of the Grantee shall be effective only if consented to by the Grantee in writing.

The terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. In the event of any difference between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.

The Committee shall have sole power to interpret and construe any provisions of this Agreement or the Plan. Any such interpretation or construction made by the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

The Performance Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights granted hereunder and Shares issued in settlement of the Performance Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights shall not confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employment of the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Unless such an invalid or unenforceable provision can be appropriately reformed or modified, this Agreement shall be construed as if such provision were omitted.

The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.

The Committee may from time to time impose any conditions on the Performance Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Rights or Shares issued in settlement of the Performance Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Rights as it deems necessary or advisable to ensure that all rights granted under the Plan satisfy the requirements of applicable securities laws. In addition, (i) Performance Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights granted under this Agreement, (ii) shares issued in settlement of such Performance Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights and (iii) proceeds from the sale of such shares, shall be subject to the Company’s right to recover compensation under any clawback or similar policy that may be adopted by the Company from time to time.

All notices or other communications given hereunder shall be in writing, and any notices or other communications required to be given hereunder shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by hand delivery, or expedited delivery service, delivery charges prepaid and with acknowledged receipt of delivery. A notice or other communication shall be deemed given on the date of acceptance or refusal of acceptance shown on such receipt, and shall be addressed, as the case may be, to the Grantee and to the Company at the following applicable address:
