Terms and Conditions of RSU Grant

GRANT OF RSUs. The RSUs have been granted to the Participant as an incentive for the Participant to continue to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates, including the Affiliate employing the Participant (the “Employer”), and to align the Participant’s interests with those of the Company. Each RSU corresponds to one Share. Each RSU constitutes a contingent and unsecured promise by the Company to deliver one Share on the settlement date, as set forth in Section ‎‎‎3.

VESTING; FORFEITURE. The RSUs shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, subject to the Participant’s continuous service with the Company and its Affiliates through each applicable vesting date. All unvested RSUs shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason; provided, however, that upon a Participant’s Termination of Service due to his or her death or Disability (as defined below), all of the RSUs shall be deemed to be vested as of the date of the Termination of Service. All RSUs, whether vested or unvested, shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s (i) Termination of Service due to the Participant’s termination by the Company and its Affiliates for Cause or (ii) breach of any restrictive covenants to which the Participant is subject with respect to the Company or its Affiliates (including those set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement). For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means that the Participant is by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or last for a continues period of not less than twelve (12) months either (x) unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity, or (y) receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Employer. The determination of whether or not the Participant’s termination is due to “Disability” will be determined by the Committee.

SETTLEMENT. Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, the RSUs will be settled in Shares, and the Participant shall receive the number of Shares that corresponds to the number of RSUs that have become vested as of the applicable vesting date, which Shares shall be delivered on the date that is no later than sixty (60) days following the applicable vesting date, as determined in the Committee’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that, for regulatory reasons, it is administratively impractical to settle the RSUs in Shares, the RSUs shall instead be settled in cash.

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT PAYMENTS. Until the RSUs settle in Shares, if the Company pays a dividend on Shares, the Participant will be entitled to a payment in the same amount as the dividend the Participant would have received if he or she held Shares in respect of his or her vested and unvested RSUs held but not previously forfeited immediately prior to the record date of the dividend (a “Dividend Equivalent”). No such Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Participant with respect to any RSU that is thereafter cancelled or forfeited prior to the applicable vesting date. The Committee will

determine the form of payment in its sole discretion and may pay Dividend Equivalents in Shares, cash or a combination thereof. The Company will pay the Dividend Equivalents within sixty (60) days following the vesting date of the RSUs to which such Dividend Equivalents relate.

NONTRANSFERABILITY. No portion of the RSUs may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated, or pledged by the Participant, other than to the Company as a result of forfeiture of the RSUs as provided herein, unless and until payment is made in respect of vested RSUs in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Participant has become the holder of record of the vested Shares issuable hereunder, unless otherwise provided by the Committee.

TAX AND WITHHOLDING. Pursuant to rules and procedures that the Company or the Employer establishes, federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax or other withholding obligations arising upon settlement of the RSUs may be satisfied, in the Committee’s sole discretion, by having the Company or the Employer withhold Shares, by having the Participant tender Shares or by having the Company or the Employer withhold cash if the Company provides for a cash withholding option, in each case in an amount sufficient to satisfy the tax or other withholding obligations. Shares withheld or tendered will be valued using the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the RSUs are settled. Any withholding or tendering of Shares shall comply with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718, and any withholding satisfied through a net-settlement of the RSUs shall be limited to the maximum statutory withholding requirements. The Participant acknowledges that, if he or she is subject to taxes in more than one jurisdiction, the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for taxes in more than one jurisdiction.

RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. The Participant will not have any rights as a stockholder in the Shares corresponding to the RSUs prior to settlement of the RSUs.

SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. The Company may, if it determines it is appropriate, affix any legend to the stock certificates representing Shares issued upon settlement of the RSUs and any stock certificates that may subsequently be issued in substitution for the original certificates. The Company may advise the transfer agent to place a stop order against such Shares if it determines that such an order is necessary or advisable.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, mortgage, encumbrance or other disposition of Shares issued upon settlement of the RSUs (whether directly or indirectly, whether or not for value and whether or not voluntary) must be made in compliance with any applicable constitution, rule, regulation or policy of any of the exchanges, associations or other institutions with which the Company has membership or other privileges, and any applicable law, or applicable rule or regulation of any governmental agency, self-regulatory organization or state or federal regulatory body.

10.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. As a condition precedent to the grant of the RSUs, the Participant agrees to be subject to the restrictive covenants as set forth in Exhibit A (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”).

11.

MISCELLANEOUS.

(b)

No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan or acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan or the RSUs.

(f)

Severability.
