5.    Termination of Employment. 
 
(a)  Vesting.  If you cease to be an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for any reason (a “Termination Event”) prior to the Vesting Date, then the Award shall terminate on the date on which such Termination Event occurs; provided that, if the reason for your Termination Event is:


(i)Death or Disability, then the number of Shares issuable under this Award, if any, shall be determined after the end of the 3-Year Performance Period as if you had not terminated employment based on actual performance. 


(ii)Retirement within 12 months prior to the last day of the 3-Year Performance Period, then the number of Shares issuable under this Award, if any, shall be determined after the end of the 3-Year Performance Period as if you had not terminated employment based on actual performance.  


If you are regularly scheduled to work less than 20 hours per calendar week for the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, you will be deemed to have experienced a Termination Event.


(b) Retirement. 


(i)For purposes of this Section 5, “Retirement” means the cessation of service as an employee, for any reason other than death, Disability or termination for Cause, if:


(A)     you are at least 60 years of age and have at least 10 years of continuous service with the Company and its Subsidiaries; and


4








(B)     you have provided for an orderly transition of your duties to a successor, including by:  (1) providing notice to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, to the Chairman or Lead Director of the Board of Directors of the Company as the case may be) that you are considering retirement sufficiently in advance of your anticipated retirement date; and (2) assisting with the identification and selection of, and transition of your duties to, a successor ((1) and (2) being referred to herein collectively as the “Specified Transition Requirements”).


If you satisfy the requirements of clauses (A) and (B) above, your cessation of service will be deemed to be a qualifying Retirement; provided that, the Compensation Committee may determine, within 30 days after your cessation of service, that you failed to satisfy any Specified Transition Requirement. By way of example only, this could result from providing too short of notice or not providing an adequate amount of transition assistance.


(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing:


(A)     If you receive written notification from the Compensation Committee that you failed to satisfy any Specified Transition Requirement, then any portion of the Award that is unvested as of the date of such notification shall terminate as of such date.


(B)     In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 4 for the period set forth therein, while any portion of this Award remains unvested and for one year after the last vesting event of any equity award held by you at the time of Retirement (the “Restricted Period”), you may not:  


(1)  perform work of any kind for a Competitor, including as an employee, board member, consultant or otherwise; 


(2)  perform work for a non-Competitor other than as permitted by clause (ii)(C) below; or 


(3)  violate any post-employment covenant applicable to you under any agreement in effect with, or policy of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each of (1)-(3) being a “Post-Retirement Violation”). 


(C)     During the Restricted Period you may work for a non-Competitor; provided that you may not have a role or responsibilities similar to or greater than those which you had while employed by the Company. For the sake of clarity, work for a non-profit and service as a director for a non-Competitor are expressly permitted.  


(D)     While this Award is outstanding, as a condition to continued vesting, upon request of the Company, you must certify that you have not engaged in a Post-Retirement Violation and must provide such information as the Company requests in order to verify such certification.  


(iii)Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, including Section 4 as applicable, if a Post-Retirement Violation occurs: 


(A)     vesting of any unvested portion of the Award shall immediately cease; 


(B)     any Shares received upon vesting after the Post-Retirement Violation are subject to recoupment (either the actual shares or the current value thereof) if the Post-Retirement Violation was of the nature described in (ii)(B)(2) above; 
5










(C)     the remedies available to the Company under Section 4(e), including recoupment of Shares, shall apply if the Post-Retirement Violation was of the nature described in (ii)(B)(1) or (3) above and occurred during the first 12 months following Retirement; and


(D)     any Shares received upon vesting after Retirement are subject to recoupment (either the actual shares or the current value thereof) if the Post-Retirement Violation was of the nature described in (ii)(B)(1) or (3) above and occurred after the one-year anniversary of your Retirement.


(iv)All determinations regarding whether you have engaged in a Post-Retirement Violation shall be made by the Compensation Committee.  


(v)If you die after Retirement and prior to the date that this Award vests, then the provisions of Sections 5(a) and (b) shall continue to apply as if you had not died.
        
(c)  Change of Control. If a Change of Control of the Company occurs prior to the end of the 3-Year Performance Period, then:


(i)As of the date of the Change of Control, the number Performance Share Units that may be earned will be fixed and determined based on (A) the actual performance for any Performance Periods that have been completed as of the date of the Change of Control and (B) achievement of 150% of target (or where there is no target, assuming the Performance Goal had been met) for any other Performance Periods that have not been completed as of the date of the Change of Control (irrespective of the actual achievement of the Performance Goals as of such date); and


(ii)Such Performance Shares Units will become vested as of the last day of the 3-Year Performance Period if you remain employed until such date, except as otherwise provided in clause (iii) below, and shall be settled in accordance with Section 7 in the year following the end of the 3-Year Performance Period; or 


(iii)If your employment terminates before the end of the 3-Year Performance Period due to your Retirement (determined solely under Section 5(b)(i)(A)), death, Disability, termination by the Company without Cause or your termination of your employment for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined), then the Performance Share Units shall be vested upon such termination of employment and shall be settled in accordance with Section 7 in the year following the end of the 3-Year Performance Period.


“Good Reason” means your suffering any of the following events without your consent: (x) significant or material lessening of your responsibilities; (y) a reduction in your annual base salary or a material reduction in the level of incentive compensation for which you have been eligible during the two years immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control and/or a material adverse change in the conditions governing receipt of such incentive compensation from those that prevailed prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control; or (z) the Company requiring you to be based anywhere other than within 50 miles of your place of employment at the time of the occurrence of the Change of Control, except for reasonably required travel to an extent substantially consistent with your business travel obligations.


(d)    Service as Director. For purposes of this Agreement, an employee of the Company, if also serving as a director, will not be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of this 
6








Agreement until his or her service as a director ends, and his or her years of service will be deemed to include years of service as a director. 
 
(e)    Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if you are terminated from employment by the Company for Cause, then this Award will forfeit immediately without vesting as of the date of such termination.  


(f)    No Further Obligation. The Company will have no further obligations to you under this Agreement if the Award terminates as provided herein. 


(g)     Separation Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5 are subject to (and may be amended by) the terms of a written separation agreement entered into between you and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
6.   Deferral of Performance Share Units.

7.    Issuance of Shares. The Company, or its transfer agent, will issue and deliver the Shares to you as soon as practicable after the Vesting Date (pursuant to the terms hereof) with respect to such Shares, or, if a deferral election was made, at the time specified in the Deferral Election Form. If you die before the Company has distributed the Shares due with respect to the vested Performance Share Units, the Company will issue the Shares to your estate or in accordance with applicable laws of descent and distribution. The Shares will be issued and delivered in book entry form, and the Company will not be liable for damages relating to any delays in making an appropriate book entry or any mistakes or errors in the making of the book entry; provided that the Company shall correct any errors caused by it. Any such book entry will be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under (a) the Plan and any agreement between you and the Company with respect to this Award or the Shares, (b) any applicable federal or state laws, and/or (c) the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any stock exchange upon which the Shares are listed.  The Company may cause an appropriate book entry notation to be made with respect to the Shares to reference any of the foregoing restrictions.

9.    Conditions to Issuance of Shares. The Shares issued to you hereunder may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have been reacquired by the Company. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the SEC or any other governmental regulatory body, which the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) shall, in its discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency, which the Compensation Committee shall, in its discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date of vesting of the Award or the payment event specified in a deferral
