Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Restricted Stock Units are deemed nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code:

(a)    upon a (i) Change in Control or (ii) CIC Termination pursuant to which the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in accordance with the Grant Notice, in each case if such Change in Control does not satisfy the conditions specified in Section 13(u)(iii) of the Plan or the accelerated settlement would be prohibited under Section 409A of the Code, the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled within sixty (60) days following the Vesting Date, or, if earlier and to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the Participant’s death; or

(b)    upon a Termination due to Disability or by the Service Recipient without Cause pursuant to which the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in accordance with the Grant Notice then the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled within sixty (60) days following the Vesting Date.

4.Treatment of Restricted Stock Units upon Termination. Subject to the Termination vesting provisions contained in the Grant Notice, the provisions of Section 9(c)(ii) of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

5.Definitions.

(a)The term “Good Reason” as used in the Grant Notice or in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall, in the case of any Participant who is party to an employment, service or similar agreement with the Company, any member of the Company Group or any successor entity thereto that contains a definition of “Good Reason”, mean and refer to the definition set forth in such agreement, and in the case of any other Participant, “Good Reason” shall mean: (A) a material diminution in the Participant’s base salary or annual bonus opportunity; (B) any material diminution in the Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities; or (C) the relocation of the Participant’s principal work location by more than fifty (50) miles; provided that none of these events shall constitute Good Reason unless the Company fails to cure such event within thirty (30) days after receipt from the Participant of written notice of the event which constitutes Good Reason; provided, further, that “Good Reason” shall cease to exist for an event on the sixtieth

(60th) day following the later of its occurrence or the Participant’s knowledge thereof, unless the Participant has given the Company written notice thereof prior to such date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of the last proviso of the immediately foregoing sentence, a series of related events shall be deemed to have occurred on the date upon which the last event in such series of related events has occurred. In the event of the Participant’s Termination due to Good Reason, such Termination must occur within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Company cure period described above.

(b)Whenever the word “Participant” is used in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to the executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom the Restricted Stock Units may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, the word “Participant” shall be deemed to include such person or persons.

6.Non-Transferability. The Restricted Stock Units are not transferable by the Participant except to Permitted Transferees in accordance with Section 13(b) of the Plan.
