you pursuant to this Award Agreement has not occurred prior to the earliest to
occur of (a) date on which your employment with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries terminates, (b) the date on which you breach any restrictive
covenant (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes any non-compete,
non-solicit, non-disparagement or confidentiality provisions) contained in any
arrangements with the Company to which you are subject and (c) the date on which
you engage in fraud or willful misconduct that contributes materially to any
financial restatement or material loss to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, your rights with respect to such RSUs shall immediately terminate,

thereto. Furthermore, in the event that the Company terminates your employment
for Cause or you engage in conduct described in clause (b) or (c), the Company,
at any time up to six months after such termination or learning of such conduct,
as applicable, may terminate or cancel the RSUs, including any vested amounts
thereof, and require you to forfeit or remit to the Company any amount payable,

provided a 15-day cure period to cease, and to cure, such conduct.

Committee in its discretion, RSUs may not be sold, assigned, alienated,
transferred, pledged, attached or otherwise encumbered except as provided in

SECTION 7. Withholding, Consents and Legends. (a) Withholding. The delivery of
Shares or cash pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(c) of this Award Agreement, as the
case may be, is conditioned on satisfaction of any applicable withholding taxes
in accordance with this Section 7(a) and Section 9(d) of the Plan. No later than
the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in your gross income for
Federal, state, local or foreign income tax purposes with respect to any RSUs,
you shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company
regarding the payment of, any Federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are
required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld with respect to such
amount. In the event that there is withholding tax liability in connection with
the settlement of the RSUs, you may satisfy, in whole or in part, any
withholding tax liability by having the Company withhold from the number of
Shares or cash you would be entitled to receive upon settlement of the RSUs, an
amount in cash or a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value (which shall
either have the meaning set forth in the Plan or shall have such other meaning
as determined by the Company in accordance with applicable withholding
requirements) equal to such withholding tax liability.

(b) Consents. Your rights in respect of the RSUs are conditioned on the receipt
to the full satisfaction of the Committee of any required consents that the
Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable (including your consenting
to the Company’s supplying to any third-party recordkeeper of the Plan such
personal information as the Committee deems advisable to administer the Plan).

(c) Legends. The Company may affix to certificates for Shares issued pursuant to
this Award Agreement any legend that the Committee determines to be necessary or
advisable (including to reflect any restrictions to which you may be subject
under any applicable securities laws). The Company may advise the transfer agent
to place a stop order against any legended Shares.

SECTION 8. Successors and Assigns of the Company. The terms and conditions of
this Award Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
Company and its successors and assigns.

SECTION 9. Committee Discretion. The Committee shall have full and plenary
discretion with respect to any actions to be taken or determinations to be made
in connection with this Award Agreement, and its determinations shall be final,
binding and conclusive.

SECTION 10. Dispute Resolution. (a) Jurisdiction and Venue. You and the Company
irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York and (ii) the courts of the
State of New York for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding
arising out of this Award Agreement or the Plan. You and the Company agree to

unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit
or proceeding arising out of this Award Agreement or the Plan in (A) the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York or (B) the courts of
the State of New York, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and
unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any
such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.

(b) Waiver of Jury Trial. You and the Company hereby waive, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any right either of you may have to a trial
by jury in respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of,
under or in connection with this Award Agreement or the Plan.

(c) Confidentiality. You hereby agree to keep confidential the existence of, and
any information concerning, a dispute described in this Section 10, except that

considering such dispute or to your legal counsel (provided that such counsel
agrees not to disclose any such information other than as necessary to the
prosecution or defense of the dispute).

State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles
thereof.

SECTION 13. Headings and Construction. Headings are given to the Sections and
subsections of this Award Agreement solely as a convenience to facilitate
reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to
the construction or interpretation of this Award Agreement or any provision
thereof. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in

conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue,
cancel or terminate this Award Agreement prospectively or retroactively;
provided, however, that, except as set forth in Section 15(d) of this Award
Agreement, any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance,
cancelation or termination that would materially and adversely impair your
rights under this Award Agreement shall not to that extent be effective without
your consent (it being understood, notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, that
this Award Agreement and the RSUs shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 7(c) of the Plan).

SECTION 15. Section 409A. (a) It is intended that the provisions of this Award

permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of

meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant
to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or
penalties under Section 409A, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the
otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it, without interest, on
the first business day after such six-month period.

penalties under Section 409A. In any case, you shall be solely responsible and
liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on
you or for your account in connection with this Award Agreement (including any
taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor any of its
Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold you harmless
from any or all of such taxes or penalties.
