Holder’s employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries terminates by reason of death or Disability, or is terminated by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries other than for Cause prior to a Change in Control, the Performance Period

As used herein, “Disability” shall have the meaning set forth in the Holder’s Employment Agreement, and if not defined
therein, shall mean a sickness or disability extending for more than three (3) consecutive months as a result of which the Holder is unable to perform his or her duties for the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, in the required

the matter shall be resolved by the determination of a physician selected by the Committee and reasonably acceptable to the Holder. The Holder shall submit to appropriate medical examinations for purposes of such determination. 

As used herein, “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the Holder’s Employment Agreement, and if not defined
therein, shall mean (i) the commission of a felony or the commission of any other crime that is injurious to the Company, to a Company employee or to a client of the Company; (ii) willful misconduct, dishonesty, fraud, attempted fraud or

provided that the Holder has been and remains in compliance with the post-employment obligations set forth in (i) the Holder’s Employment Agreement (such terms and conditions thereof being incorporated herein by reference) and
(ii) any Business Protection Agreement to which the Holder is a party (such terms and conditions thereof being incorporated herein by reference) until the date on which the Award is settled pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the
Performance Period shall continue through the last day thereof and the Holder shall be entitled to a prorated Award. Such prorated Award shall be equal to the value of the Award at the end of the Performance Period based on the actual performance
during the Performance Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of days such Holder was employed with the Company during the Performance Period and the denominator of which shall equal the number of days in the
Performance Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Holder shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.2.3, the Company shall issue or transfer to the Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock underlying the prorated Award as soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Period but no later than the March 15th occurring immediately after the last day of the Performance Period.

Subsidiaries if, on the date of such resignation of employment, the sum of the Holder’s age and continuous years of service with the Company equals at least 65, with a minimum of at least five continuous years of service and a minimum age of
55. 
 3.3. Change in Control. 

3.3.1. In the event of a Change in Control pursuant to which the Award is not effectively assumed by the surviving or acquiring corporation in

entitled to the value of the Award determined assuming target performance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Holder shall be entitled to receive shares of Stock pursuant to this Section 3.3.1, the Company shall issue
or transfer to the Holder the number of shares of Stock underlying the vested Award as soon as practicable following the Change in Control but no later than the March 15th occurring immediately after the year in which the Change in Control
occurs. 
 3.3.2. In the event a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period and the Holder’s employment is terminated by
the Company or one of its Subsidiaries other than for Cause or by the Holder for Good Reason or due to a Constructive Termination of Employment (as applicable) within 24 months following such Change in Control, the Holder shall be entitled to the
value of the Award determined assuming target performance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Holder shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.3.2, the Company shall issue or
transfer to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the vested Award as soon as practicable following such termination of employment but no later than the March 15th occurring immediately after the year in which such

Employment” (as applicable) shall have the meanings set forth in the Holder’s Employment Agreement.

to a substantial risk of forfeiture), the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered one or more certificates issued in the Holder’s name (or such other name as is acceptable to the Company and designated in writing by the Holder)
representing the number of vested shares. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 6. Prior to the issuance to the Holder of
the shares of Stock subject to the Award, the Holder shall have no direct or secured claim in any specific assets of the Company or in such shares of Stock, and will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 

5. Transfer Restrictions and Investment Representation. 

5.1. Nontransferability of Award. The Award may not be transferred by the Holder other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to the designation of one or more beneficiaries on the form prescribed by the Company. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence, the Award may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated,
encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Award,
the Award and all rights hereunder shall immediately become null and void. 
 5.2. Investment Representation. The Holder hereby
represents and covenants that (a) any share of Stock acquired upon the vesting of the Award will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), unless such acquisition has been registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws; (b) any subsequent sale of any such shares shall be made either pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and such state securities laws; and (c) if requested by the Company, the Holder
shall submit a written statement, in form satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such representation (x) is true and correct as of the date of vesting of any shares of Stock hereunder or (y) is true and correct as of the date of
any sale of any such share, as applicable. As a further condition precedent to the delivery to the Holder of any shares of Stock subject to the Award, the Holder shall comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having
control of or supervision over the issuance or delivery of the shares and, in connection therewith, shall execute any documents which the Board shall in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable. 

6. Additional Terms and Conditions of Award. 

6.1. Withholding Taxes. (a) As a condition precedent to the delivery of the shares of Stock upon the vesting of the Award, the
Holder shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company such amount as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes (the
“Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award. If the Holder shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount
then or thereafter payable by the Company to the Holder. 

  
 5 








 (b) The Holder may elect to satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by
any of the following means: (1) a cash payment to the Company, (2) delivery to the Company (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of previously owned whole shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair
Market Value, determined as of the date on which such withholding obligation arises (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments, (3) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Stock which would otherwise be
delivered to the Holder having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments or (4) any combination of (1), (2) and (3). Shares of Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have a Fair
Market Value in excess of the minimum amount of the Required Tax Payments. Any fraction of a share of Stock which would be required to satisfy any such obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the Holder.
No certificate representing a share of Stock shall be delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full. 
 6.2.
Adjustment. In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation) that causes the per share value of shares of
Stock to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering or recapitalization through an extraordinary dividend, the terms of this Award, including the number and class of securities subject hereto, shall be appropriately
adjusted by the Committee. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, including a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing
sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee (or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation) to prevent dilution or enlargement
of rights of the Holder. The decision of the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 6.3.
Compliance with Applicable Law. The Award is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Stock subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of
any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the delivery of shares hereunder, the shares of Stock subject to the Award shall not be delivered, in whole or in part,
unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such
listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action. 
 6.4. Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment. In
no event shall the granting of the Award or its acceptance by the Holder, or any provision of the Agreement or any Business Protection Agreement to which the Holder is a party, give or be deemed to give the Holder any right to continued employment
by the Company or prevent or be deemed to prevent the Company from terminating the Holder’s employment at any time, with or without Cause. 

6.5. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Holder or by the Company
forthwith to the Committee for review, provided that nothing in this Section 6.5 shall limit or otherwise affect the Holder’s or the Company’s ability to seek injunctive or other relief as provided in the Holder’s Employment
Agreement or any Business Protection Agreement to which the Holder is a party, as the case may be, with respect to a dispute arising thereunder. The resolution by the Committee of a dispute submitted to the Committee shall be final and binding on
all parties.

to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Holder and his or her
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding business day of the Company. 
 6.8. Governing Law. This Agreement, the Award
and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto and thereto, to the extent not governed by the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without giving
effect to principles of conflicts of laws. 
 6.9. Entire Agreement. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms
not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and
agreements of the Company and the Holder with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Holder’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Holder. 

6.10. Partial Invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other
provisions hereof and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted. 
 6.11.
Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only by the written agreement of the Company and the Holder, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall
affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement.

 6.13
Compliance With Section 409A of the Code. The Agreement is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and shall be interpreted and construed
consistently with such intent; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees or advisors be responsible for any such additional tax, interest or related tax penalties that may be imposed under
Section 409A of the Code. 
 6.14 Clawback Provision. The Holder acknowledges that the Holder has read the Company’s Policy
on Recoupment of Incentive Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”). In consideration of the grant of the Award, the Holder agrees to abide by the Clawback Policy and any determinations of the Board pursuant to the Clawback Policy. Without
limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Holder agrees that the Company shall have the right to 

  
 7 








 
require the Holder to repay the value of any shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the Award, as may be required by law (including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder) or in accordance with the terms of the Clawback Policy. This Section 6.14 shall survive the termination of the Holder’s employment with the Company for any
reason. The foregoing remedy is in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company due to the Holder’s misconduct or fraud. Any determination by the Board with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon the Holder and all persons claiming through the Holder.
