Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company has granted to the Participant, effective as of the Date of Grant, Number of Awards Granted Restricted Stock Units, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 4.5 of the Plan (the “RSUs”).

Vesting of RSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the RSUs will vest as follows:

General. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2(b) through 2(d) and Section 4, the RSUs will vest in equal annual installments of 33 and 1/3% of the Shares (each annual installment, a “Tranche”) over a three-year period on each anniversary of the Date of Grant (each annual vesting period within such three-year period, a “Vesting Period”), subject to the Participant’s continued Service through the last day of the applicable Vesting Period. Vesting Schedule (Dates & Quantities)

Effect of Death and Termination Due to Disability. The RSUs will become fully vested immediately upon the Participant’s death or termination of Service due to Disability.

Effect of Retirement. Upon the Participant’s Retirement after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Participant shall be eligible to vest in a Pro-Rated Award. The number of RSUs that shall vest under a “Pro-Rated Award” shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the number of RSUs subject to the unvested Tranche of RSUs corresponding to the Vesting Period during which the Participant’s Retirement occurs, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days that have elapsed between the first day of the applicable Vesting Period and the date of the Participant’s Retirement, and the denominator of which shall be 365. No fractional Shares shall be issued, and any fractional Shares that would have been deemed vested based on the foregoing calculation shall be rounded down to the next whole Share. For the avoidance of any doubt, the remaining unvested Tranches corresponding to Vesting Periods commencing following the date of the Participant’s Retirement shall be forfeited upon the Participant’s Retirement and all of the RSUs shall be forfeited in the event of the Participant’s Retirement on or prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Grant. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means a voluntary termination of Service on or after the Participant (i) has attained age 55; and (ii) completed 10 years of continuous Service. For purposes of this Section 2(c), a Participant’s Retirement shall not include: (i) a termination by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Plan), as determined in the sole discretion of the Company, (ii) a resignation by the Participant after being notified that the Company has elected to terminate the Participant for Cause, (iii) a termination or resignation by the Participant during the pendency of an investigation with respect to the Participant or while the Participant is on a performance improvement plan, or (iv) any other circumstance upon which the Company determines in good faith the Participant is not in good standing at the time of such termination at the sole discretion of the Company.

Change in Control. The RSUs will become fully vested immediately upon the Participant’s termination of Service in the event that the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Plan) (other than for death or Disability) or if the Participant resigns for Good Reason at the time of, or within 6 months following, the consummation of a Change in Control occurring after the Date of Grant.

Settlement of RSUs Upon Vesting.

Settlement in Stock. RSUs vested as described in Section 2 above will be settled by delivering to the Participant a number of Shares equal to the number of vested RSUs within sixty (60) days of the date on which the RSUs vest, subject to any special timing requirements applicable under Section 16(l), the terms of this Agreement and payment of any Tax-Related Items. In any case, the Company may provide a reasonable delay in the delivery of the Shares to address Tax­Related Items, withholding, and other administrative matters, provided that any such delay does not result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code (to the extent the Participant is a U.S. taxpayer). Neither the Company nor the Committee will be liable to the Participant or any other Person for damages relating to any delays in issuing the Shares or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the Shares.

Book­Entry Registration of the Shares. The Company will deliver the Shares payable pursuant to this Agreement within the settlement period set forth in Section 3(a) by registering such Shares with the Company’s transfer agent (or another custodian selected by the Company) in book­entry form in the Participant’s name.

Shareholder Rights. The Participant will not have any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to the RSUs, including voting and dividend rights, unless and until the Shares are delivered as described in Section 3(b) above.

Responsibility for Taxes. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary employing or

retaining the Participant (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the RSUs, the delivery of Shares following the vesting date of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such vesting/delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that 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.

Withholding Requirements. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at the Company’s and/or the Employer’s discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) cash payment by the Participant to the Company prior to the day of vesting of an amount that the Company will apply to the required withholding; (2) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; (3) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (4) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs. For the purposes of alternative (4) above, any Shares withheld shall be credited for purposes of the withholding requirements at the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date that the tax withholding is determined. Until such time as the Company provides notice to the contrary, it will collect withholding for Tax-Related Items pursuant to alternative (3) above; provided, however, that if such method (A)  cannot be processed by the broker or (B) the Participant is subject to the Company’s Policy on Insider Trading and Communications with the Public (the “Insider Trading Policy”), the sale of Shares pursuant to alternative (3) is prohibited under the Insider Trading Policy and the Participant has not entered into an arrangement that is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) of the Exchange Act and that provides for the sale of all of the Shares subject to this Agreement, the Company will instead collect withholding for Tax-Related Items pursuant to alternative (4).

Forfeiture. Except as provided in Sections 2(b) through 2(d) above, any unvested RSUs will be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration upon a termination of the Participant’s Service (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later to be found invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), including a Participant’s change in status from employee to consultant or other personal service provider. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the RSUs and the Shares (and any resulting proceeds) will continue to be subject to Section 13 of the Plan.

Adjustment to RSUs. In the event of any change with respect to the outstanding Shares contemplated by Section 4.5 of the Plan, the RSUs may be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Plan.

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, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

the grant of the RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted in the past;

the RSUs and the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or services contract with the Company or any Subsidiary;

unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary;

the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from the termination of the Participant’s Service (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any);

the following provision shall not apply to Participants in the state of California: In consideration of the grant of the RSUs to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company and its Subsidiaries from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim; and
