fractional shares shall be paid in cash. The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, exercise negative discretion to reduce the Performance Based Compensation Amount by any amount and instead pay the amount by which the Performance Based
Compensation Amount has been reduced in cash on a 1 for 1 basis, rather than converting that amount into Shares on a 2 for 1 basis as described above. The restrictions on the Shares shall lapse on the first to occur of (i) October 15, 2022
(ii) termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company by reason of Executive’s disability or death, (iii) the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for Good Reason; (iv) the Company’s

most recent grant of Restricted Stock by the Company to the Executive).

above (the “Award”) are being made by the Compensation Committee pursuant to Section 8 of the Company’s 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan or any successor plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and are subject to the limitations
contained in Section 5 of the Incentive Plan. The Award is intended to qualify as “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
