(d)Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding the general rule in subsection (a) above, if the Employee’s employment is terminated for Cause, all vested and unvested SARs will expire as of the commencement of business on the termination date, except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.


7.Effect of Change in Control.


Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, to the extent they have not previously expired or been exercised, all of the SARs granted under this Award will immediately become 100% vested and exercisable.

8.Exercise of SARs.


(a)In General. Each vested SAR will be exercisable at any time during the term of the SAR, except that the SARs must be exercised in blocks of at least 300 SARs (unless the exercise is for the entire remaining vested portion of this Award). The partial exercise of this Award will not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining portion. The SARs may be exercised by delivering written notice signed by the Employee (or notice through another previously approved method, such as a web-based or e-mail system) to the Company’s principal office, to the attention of its Treasurer (or the Treasurer’s designee) no more than ten business days in advance of the effective date of the proposed exercise. The notice must specify the number of SARs being exercised and the effective date of the exercise.  If notice is provided in advance, the business day specified as the exercise date in the notice will be deemed the exercise date.  If the exercise date is intended to be the same as the notice date, the notice must be received before the official close of the national securities exchange market on which the Shares are primarily traded.  If notice is received after the official close of the national securities exchange for the date specified as the exercise date, the following business day will be deemed the exercise date.


(b)Exercise Following Death.  In the event of the Employee’s death, all remaining SARs may be exercised at any time before the expiration or termination of the SARs by the executors or administrators of the Employee’s estate or by a person who acquires the

right to such exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided the requirements set forth in Section 23 of the Plan are satisfied.


9.Benefit Upon Exercise.


Upon exercising all or any portion of this Award, the Employee will receive Shares of Class B Common Stock equal in value to: the number of SARs exercised, multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date, over (ii) the Exercise Price of the SAR. This calculated value will be divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date to determine the number of Shares that the Employee will receive on exercise, subject to any withholding of Shares in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement.
Fractional Share amounts will be settled in cash. The Shares payable in settlement of all or any portion of this Award will be issued as soon as practicable following the exercise date of the SARs. For purposes of this Section, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date will be as provided for in Section 2(p) of the Plan.


10.Tax Withholding.


As a condition of this Award, the Employee agrees to pay or make arrangements for the payment to the Company of the amount of any and all federal, state, local and foreign income and employment taxes that the Company determines it is required by law to withhold with respect to the SARs.  Payment will be due on the date the Company is required to withhold such taxes.  Unless the Executive Compensation Committee determines otherwise, in its sole discretion, or the Employee elects to make a cash payment to the Company in an amount sufficient to satisfy the withholding requirement, notwithstanding Section 13(c), the Company will satisfy the withholding requirement in accordance with Section 18 of the Plan by withholding from delivery to the Employee, Shares having a value equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld. The Company will provide procedures for Employees electing to make a cash payment to satisfy the withholding requirement.


11.No Obligation to Exercise.


The grant of this Award to the Employee imposes no obligation upon the Employee to exercise any SARs.


12.Rights as Shareholder.


Neither the Employee nor any transferee has any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by or relating to this Award until the date the Employee or transferee becomes the holder of record of the Shares.


13.Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock.


(a)Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Company is not obligated to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing Shares under this Award unless and until the Company is advised by its counsel that the issuance and delivery of the certificates is in

(b)Right of First Refusal. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Shares issued on exercise of the SARs are subject to repurchase under a right of first refusal in favor of the Company or any assignee of the Company, as set forth in the Company’s Right of 
First Refusal Policy as it may be amended from time to time (the “First Refusal Policy”). The repurchase of Shares under the First Refusal Policy may be effected by the payment to the Employee, or to the Employee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, of the value of the Shares as determined under the First Refusal Policy, a copy of which has been provided to the Employee.


(c)Holding Period for Shares. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Shares issued on exercise of the SARs are subject to a holding period requirement whereby the Employee (or the Employee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be) may not sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares until 12 months following the date of issuance of the Shares.


(d)Restrictions on Transferability. The stock certificates evidencing the Shares issued under the SARs may include one or more legends that set forth such restrictions on transferability as may apply to the Shares under this Agreement and the Plan. Alternatively, such restrictions may be enforced through such other methods as may be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, including by restrictions on electronic transfers from accounts.


14.Electronic Delivery.


The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to SARs awarded under the Plan or any future awards under the Plan by electronic means or request the Employee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.


15.Agreement Severable.


If any provision in this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Plan will prevail.  Modifications to this Agreement may be made only in a written agreement executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. The Employee agrees at all times to abide by, and acknowledges that this Award is subject to, all applicable policies of the Company, including the Company’s insider trading policies and any recoupment or clawback policy, as may exist from time to time.

22.No Right to Employment.


The Employee acknowledges that nothing in the Plan or this Agreement confers upon the Employee any right with respect to continued employment by the Company, or interferes in any way with the right of the Company, subject to the terms of any separate employment agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate the Employee’s employment or to increase or decrease the Employee’s compensation.


23.Section 409A.


All SARs granted under this Agreement are intended to comply with or to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and will be construed accordingly.

These recipients may be located in the United States or elsewhere. The Employee authorizes them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s SARs. The Employee may, at any time, review Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing the consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan and receive Shares upon exercise of the SARs.
