The details of your Award are as follows.
1.CONSIDERATION.   Consideration for this Award is satisfied by your services to the Company.
2.    VESTING.  
(a)    In General.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, one-third of the Award shall vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the Commencement Date, provided you are employed through the vesting date.  Settlement of vested Awards shall be pursuant to Section 3 below.
(b)    Accelerated Vesting upon a Termination. In the event that (i) your employment is terminated (x) by the Company for any reason other than on account of Cause, (y) by you for Good Reason or (z) by the Company due to your death or Disability, then the Restricted Stock Units will immediately vest and be settled in shares as soon as practicable (but not more than sixty (60) days) thereafter.
3.    DISTRIBUTION OF COMMON SHARES.  The Company will deliver to you a number of Common Shares equal to (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award that become vested in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement,  plus (ii) any Restricted Stock Units resulting from dividend equivalents credited with respect to such Restricted Stock Units in accordance with Section 6 of this Award Agreement, as soon as practicable (but, subject to Section 7(c)(vi) of the Plan regarding blackout restrictions, in any event no later than sixty (60) days) following the date on which such Restricted Stock Units become vested; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the Company terminates your service for Cause prior to the date on which the Common Shares are distributed to you, you shall forfeit any right to such distribution of Common Shares.  
4.    NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of Common Shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for capital adjustments, as provided in the Plan. The Company will establish a bookkeeping account to reflect the number of Restricted Stock Units standing to your credit from time to time. However, you will not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to, any Common Shares subject to your Award (including but not limited to stockholder voting rights) unless and until the shares have been delivered to you in accordance with Section 3 of this Award Agreement.
5.    COMMON SHARE OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS.  You agree to comply with any Common Share ownership requirements adopted by the Company applicable to you, which shall be on the same terms as similarly situated executives of the Company.
6.    DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. The bookkeeping account maintained for your Award shall, until the vesting date or termination and cancellation or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, be allocated additional Restricted Stock Units on the payment date of dividends on the Company’s Common Shares. Such dividends will be converted into additional Common Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units by dividing (i) the aggregate amount or value of the dividends paid with respect to that number of Common Shares equal to the number of shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units by (ii) the Market Price per Common Share on the payment date for such dividend. Any such additional Restricted Stock Units shall have the same vesting dates and vest in accordance with the same terms as the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Award Agreement.
7.    COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. The Award is intended to comply with section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and shall be interpreted in accordance with section 409A of the Code and treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Date of Grant.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no payment or distribution under this Plan that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under section 409A of the Code and becomes payable by reason of your termination of employment or service with the Company shall be made to you until your termination of employment or service constitutes a separation from service within the meaning of section 409A of the Code.  For purposes of this Award, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if you are a specified employee within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, then to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under section 409A of the Code, you shall not be entitled to any payments upon a termination of your employment or service until the earlier of:  (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of your separation from service or (ii) the date of your death.  Upon the expiration of the applicable waiting period set forth in the preceding sentence, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 7 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid to you in a lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days, following such expired period, and any remaining payments due under this Award will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or any affiliate be liable to you on account of an Award’s failure to (i) qualify for favorable U.S. or foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment under U.S. or foreign law, including, without limitation, section 409A of the Code.
8.    SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You may not be issued any Common Shares under your Award unless the shares are either (i) then registered under the Securities Act or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you shall not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.  
9.    RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The Common Shares issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company. 
10.    TRANSFERABILITY. Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Plan, your Award is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in the form prescribed by the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, will thereafter be entitled to receive any distribution of Common Shares pursuant to Section 3 of this Award Agreement. 
11.    AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award will be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the Company or an affiliate, or on the part of the Company or an affiliate to continue such service. In addition, nothing in your Award will obligate the Company or an affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an employee of the Company or an affiliate. 
12.    UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded and you will be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue Common Shares pursuant to this Award Agreement. You will not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common Shares subject to your Award until such Common Shares are delivered to you pursuant to Section 3 of this Award Agreement. Upon such delivery, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Award Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person. 
13.    WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. On or before the time you receive a distribution of Common Shares pursuant to your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Common Shares, payroll and any other amounts payable or issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any affiliate which arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes”).  The Company shall withhold Common Shares with a Market Price (measured as of the date Common Shares are delivered pursuant to Section 3) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that the number of such Common Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income (or such other amount as may be permitted by applicable law and accounting standards).
14.    NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Board (or appropriate committee thereof) reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Award Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or judicial decision, provided that any such change will be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of the Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein. 
17.    MISCELLANEOUS.
