Stock Units

	 No Voting Rights or

Dividends
	  	Your Restricted Stock Units carry neither voting rights nor rights to dividends. Neither you, nor your estate or heirs, have any rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and
until your Restricted Stock Units are settled by issuing Shares. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your Shares are issued, except as described in the Plan.
		
	 Restricted Stock Units

 At the time of settlement,
you will receive one Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that no fractional Shares will be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement, and the Committee will determine whether cash will be paid in lieu of
any fractional Share or whether such fractional Share and any rights thereto will be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated. In addition, the Shares are issued to you subject to the condition that the issuance of the Shares not violate any law

a credit against the withholding taxes. You also authorize the Company, or your actual employer, to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company or your actual employer with respect to this Award from your wages or other cash compensation
payable to you by the Company or your actual employer.
		
	Restrictions on Resale	  	You agree not to sell any Shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will
apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.

reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause.
