 NEO for Good Reason, (i) no accelerated vesting will occur for unvested options or RSUs, and (ii) the accrued portion of outstanding annual PSUs, plus a pro-rata portion (based on the number of full calendar months served during the performance period divided by the length of the performance period) that would have accrued for the performance period in which such termination occurs will become vested.

### CHANGE IN CONTROL
In the event of a Change in Control, the Equity Plan provides that each outstanding award may be assumed by the acquirer or replaced with an economically equivalent award. Any such assumed or replaced award will vest in full if a participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or the participant resigns for Good Reason within the 24 months following the Change in Control. Performance conditions applicable to performance-based awards, including annual PSUs, that are assumed or replaced will be deemed satisfied at the greater of target or actual performance through the date of the Change in Control, and such awards will be subject only to vesting based on the passage of time for the remainder of the original performance period. If the acquirer does not assume outstanding awards or replace outstanding awards with economically equivalent awards, such awards will be treated as follows: (i) unvested stock options will become fully vested; (ii) the restrictions on the restricted stock and RSUs will lapse, and (iii) performance units will be canceled in exchange for a payment equal to the value that would have been payable had each performance unit been deemed equal to 100% (or such greater or lesser percentage as determined by the Compensation Committee) of its initially established dollar value. The Compensation Committee may instead provide that outstanding awards that are not assumed or substituted with economically equivalent awards in connection with a Change in Control will be canceled in exchange for a cash payment.

#### DEATH, DISABILITY AND RETIREMENT
In the event of death or disability, unvested options will become fully vested. Upon death, disability or retirement (age 55 with five years of service), (i) a pro rata portion of the unvested RSUs that would be eligible for lapse of restrictions on the next anniversary date of the grant will lapse (based on the number of full calendar months served during the 12-month period between vesting dates) and (ii) a pro-rata portion of outstanding PSUs (based on the number of full calendar months served during the performance period divided by the length of the performance period) that would have accrued for the performance period in which the NEO
