Dear Rick:
In recognition of the value of your services and in order to induce you to

Inc. (the “Company”) has decided to enter into this agreement (this “Agreement”)
to amend the terms of your outstanding equity awards set forth on Exhibit A
hereto as follows:
If your employment with the Company is terminated due to your retirement on or
following the date of the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, your
outstanding equity awards will be treated as follows:
•
Time vesting restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards will continue to
vest for the three-year period following the termination of employment date (or
if the remaining vesting term of any such time vesting restricted stock or
restricted stock unit award is less than three years, each such award will
continue to vest for the remaining period of such vesting term); and

•
Subject to meeting the required performance conditions, performance vesting
restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards will continue to vest for the
two-year period following the termination of employment date (or if the
remaining vesting term of any such performance vesting restricted stock or
restricted stock unit award is less than two years, each such award will
continue to vest for the remaining period of such vesting term).

In addition to amending your current outstanding equity awards, including the
