The shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon, and to the extent of, the achievement of the Performance Goals are referred to in this Agreement as “Shares.” No Shares shall be issued by the Company and delivered to the Participant unless, and until, all conditions set forth herein for such issuance and delivery are met, including but not limited to the achievement of an applicable Performance Goal. If the Participant does not accept this Award during the period beginning with the Grant Date and ending on the day that is two (2) business days prior to the first applicable vesting date, as set forth in Exhibit A, then the Award will be forfeited immediately following such period and the Participant will have no further rights with respect to the Award or any Shares issuable thereunder.

2.Earning Shares; Forfeiture.

a.Shares shall be deemed earned if, and to the extent, the applicable Performance Goal is satisfied as of the applicable Measurement Date set forth in Exhibit A. If the applicable Performance Goal is not met as of the applicable Measurement Date, the Company shall have no obligation to issue the portion of the Shares allocable to such Performance Goal, and this Award shall be forfeited with respect thereto.

b.Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to the applicable vesting date, as set forth in Exhibit A, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any Shares (or any earned but unissued Shares, if applicable) to the Participant under this Agreement and this Award shall be forfeited, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in a separate written agreement between the Company and the Participant.

3.Issuance of Shares.

a.Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the number of Shares issued to the Participant shall be determined under Exhibit A and such Shares, if any, shall be issued to the Participant within 30 days of the applicable vesting date, or such other date as provided in the Plan,

as applicable.

b.The Company shall not be obligated to issue and deliver the Shares to the Participant within 30 days of the applicable vesting date, or on any other date as provided in the Plan, unless the issuance and delivery of the Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements including, without limitation, any applicable federal or state securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may then be listed.

4.Restrictions on Transfer.

The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise, the Award or the Shares subject to the Award (until such Shares have been issued upon vesting of the Award pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof), or any interest therein, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Except as set forth in the Plan, neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant shall be, or have any rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Shares issuable pursuant to the performance shares granted hereunder until the Shares have been issued by the Company and delivered to the Participant.
