3.Payment.

(a)Settlement. The Company shall deliver to the Participant within sixty (60) days following the Vesting Date, a number of shares Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of RSUs that have vested pursuant to Section 2. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered and any fractions shall be rounded down.

In addition, to the extent permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, withholding may be satisfied through an open-market, broker-assisted sales transaction pursuant to which the Company is promptly delivered the amount of proceeds necessary to satisfy the withholding amount, which shall be subject to any terms and conditions imposed by the Committee.

laws and any agreement with, or policy of, the Company or the Committee to which the Participant is a party or subject, and the Committee may cause orders or designations to be placed upon the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

(c)Clawback Policy. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant is subject to the provisions of Section 12 (Forfeiture Events) and Section 14.6 (Trading Policy and Other Restrictions) of the Plan and any compensation recovery, “clawback” or similar policy adopted by the Company from time to time and/or made applicable by law including the provisions of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection and Act and the rules, regulations and requirements adopted thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s equity securities may be listed. The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that any violation of any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, non-disparagement, or other restrictive covenant obligation under any employment offer, employment contract, or confidentiality obligations otherwise agreed to in the course of Participant’s employment between Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall, in the Company’s discretion, result in the forfeiture, clawback, and/or recovery of the award granted hereunder, pursuant to the terms of Sections 12 and 14.6 of the Plan or such other compensation recovery, clawback or similar policy.

(d)Adjustments. In the event of any change with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock contemplated by Section 4.4 of the Plan prior to delivery, the RSUs may be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Plan.
