(b) “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Change in Control Agreement.

The Company shall cause to be delivered to the Executive in electronic or certificated form any shares of Common Stock that are to be issued under the terms of this Agreement in exchange for Performance Units awarded hereby, and such shares of Common Stock shall be transferable by the Executive as provided herein (except to the extent that any proposed transfer would, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of applicable securities law).

3. Performance Units Do Not Award Any Rights Of A Shareholder. The Executive shall not have the voting rights or any of the other rights, powers or privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to the Performance Units that are awarded hereby.

The Company shall pay to the Executive, in cash, an amount equal to the accrued Dividend Equivalents with respect to the Executive’s Performance Units, which payment shall be included in the Executive’s regular payroll check for the period covering the date any Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to that Performance Unit lapse or such later date described in Section 6(d) and (f) of this Agreement. Dividend Equivalent payments will be subject to tax withholding as further described in Section 8 below.

(b) If during the period the Executive holds any Performance Units granted under this Agreement the Company pays a dividend in shares of Common Stock with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Company will increase the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in exchange for the Performance Units awarded hereby that have not then been forfeited to or exchanged by the Company for shares of Common Stock by an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in exchange for the Performance Units awarded hereby (calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 6 of this Agreement) and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock paid by the Company per share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Stock Dividend Performance Units”).

Performance Unit will be subject to same Forfeiture Restrictions and other restrictions, limitations and conditions applicable to the Performance Unit for which such Stock Dividend Performance Unit was awarded and will be exchanged for shares of Common Stock at the same time and on the same basis as such Performance Unit.

5. Transfer Restrictions. The Performance Units granted hereby may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of (other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution). Any such attempted sale, assignment, pledge, exchange, hypothecation, transfer, encumbrance or disposition in violation of this Agreement shall be void and the Company shall not be bound thereby. Further, any shares of Common Stock issued to the Executive in exchange for Performance Units awarded hereby may not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws. The Executive also agrees that the Company may (a) refuse to cause the transfer of any such shares of Common Stock to be registered on the applicable stock transfer records of the Company if such proposed transfer would, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of any applicable securities law and (b) give related instructions to the transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of such shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under a Registration Statement on Form S-8. A Prospectus describing the Plan and the shares of Common Stock is available from the Company.

6. Vesting and Payment.

(a) The Performance Units that are granted hereby shall be subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. The Executive shall have no vested interest in the Performance Units credited to his or her bookkeeping ledger account except as set forth in this Section 6. Upon the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to a Performance Unit that is awarded hereby or such later date provided in Section 6(d) or (f), the Company shall issue to the Executive that number of shares of Common Stock calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) through (j) below, as applicable, in exchange for such Performance Unit and pay the Dividend Equivalents, with respect to that number of shares of Common Stock issued, as provided in Section 4(a), and thereafter the Executive shall have no further rights with respect to such Performance Unit.

(b) If the Executive’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries has not terminated prior to April 13, 20 , then on such date the Forfeiture Restrictions on the Performance Units shall lapse and the Executive shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Adjusted Number of Target Shares multiplied by the applicable Percentage Target Earned Factor (each as further described below):

(i) The “Adjusted Number of Target Shares” shall be calculated as follows: (A) if Adjusted EPS is less than $ , the Target Shares shall be multiplied by 0%, (B) if Adjusted EPS is $ , the Target Shares shall be multiplied by 50%, (C) if Adjusted EPS is $ , the Target Shares shall be multiplied by 100%, (D) if Adjusted EPS is $ or more, the Target Shares shall be multiplied by 150%, and (E) if Adjusted EPS is between $ and $ the Target Shares shall be multiplied by a percentage pro-rated based upon the foregoing range as indicated on Exhibit A. In no event will the Target Shares be multiplied by a percentage that exceeds 150%.

(ii) The applicable “Percentage Target Earned Factor” shall be determined as follows: (A) if Relative TSR is at or below the percentile (counting up from the lowest percentile), then the Percentage Target Earned Factor shall be 50%, (B) if Relative TSR is at the percentile, then the Percentage Target Earned Factor shall be 100%, (C) if Relative TSR is at or above the percentile, then the Percentage Target Earned Factor shall be 150%, and (D) if Relative TSR is between the percentile and the percentile, then the Percentage Target Earned Factor shall be a percentage pro-rated based upon the foregoing range as indicated on Exhibit B; provided, however, notwithstanding the above, that in the event that Relative TSR exceeds the percentile but the Company’s total shareholder return for the three-year period ending , 20 (calculated as set forth in the definition of Relative TSR) is less than zero the Percentage Target Earned Factor shall be only 100%.

If Adjusted EPS is below $ , then the Forfeiture Restrictions on the Performance Units covered hereby shall not lapse and the Performance Units awarded hereby shall be forfeited as of the close of business on April 13, 20 . The Committee shall make such adjustments to the definition of Adjusted Number of Target Shares as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect changes in the Common Stock made by the Company after the Grant Date.
