3. The
Award.


 


3.1 Grant
of Units. On the Date of Grant, the Participant shall acquire, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Total Number
of Units set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8. Each Unit represents a right to receive
on a date determined in accordance with the Grant Notice and this Agreement one (1) share of Stock.


 


3.2 No
Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding,
if any) as a condition to receiving the Units or shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units, the consideration for which
shall be past services actually rendered or future services to be rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if required by applicable law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services
rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued
upon settlement of the Units.


 


4. Vesting
of Units.


 


Units acquired pursuant
to this Agreement shall become Vested Units as provided in the Grant Notice. For purposes of determining the number of Vested Units
following an Ownership Change Event, credited Service shall include all Service with any corporation which is a Participating Company
at the time the Service is rendered, whether or not such corporation is a Participating Company both before and after the Ownership
Change Event.


 


5. Company
Reacquisition Right.


 


5.1 Grant
of Company Reacquisition Right. Except to the extent otherwise provided by the Superseding Agreement, if any, in the event
that the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason
or no reason, with or without cause, the Participant shall forfeit and the Company shall automatically reacquire all Units which
are not, as of the time of such termination, Vested Units (“Unvested Units”), and the Participant shall
not be entitled to any payment therefor (the “Company Reacquisition Right”).


 


5.2 Ownership
Change Event, Non-Cash Dividends, Distributions and Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of an Ownership Change Event, a
dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company paid in shares of Stock or other property, or any other adjustment
upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 8, any and all new, substituted or additional
securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend
policy) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of the Participant’s ownership of Unvested Units shall be immediately
subject to the Company Reacquisition Right and included in the terms “Units” and “Unvested Units” for all
purposes of the Company Reacquisition Right with the same force and effect as the Unvested Units immediately prior to the Ownership
Change Event, dividend, distribution or adjustment, as the case may be. For purposes of determining the number of Vested Units
following an Ownership Change Event, dividend, distribution or adjustment, credited Service shall include all Service with any
corporation which is a Participating Company at the time the Service is rendered, whether or not such corporation is a Participating
Company both before and after any such event.

6. Settlement
of the Award.


 


6.1 Issuance
of Shares of Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, the Company shall issue to the Participant on the
Settlement Date with respect to each Vested Unit to be settled on such date one (1) share of Stock. The Settlement Date with respect
to a Unit shall be the date on which such Unit becomes a Vested Unit as provided by the Grant Notice (an “Original
Settlement Date”); provided, however, that if the Original Settlement Date would occur on a date on which a sale
by the Participant of the shares to be issued in settlement of the Vested Units would violate the Trading Compliance Policy of
the Company and if the Company has allowed the Participant to satisfy its tax obligations pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement,
the Settlement Date for such Vested Units shall be deferred until the next day on which the sale of such shares would not violate
the Trading Compliance Policy, but in any event on or before the 15th day of the third calendar month following calendar year of
the Original Settlement Date. Shares of Stock issued in settlement of Units shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer
other than any such restriction as may be required pursuant to Section 6.3, Section 7 or the Company’s Trading
Compliance Policy.


 


6.2 Beneficial
Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion,
to deposit any or all shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award with the Company’s transfer
agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry form, or to deposit such shares for the benefit of the
Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the Company has notice. Except as provided
by the foregoing, a certificate for the shares acquired by the Participant shall be registered in the name of the Participant,
or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.


 


6.3 Restrictions
on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement
of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such
securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable
federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system
upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the
authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to
the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant
to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation
and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.


 


6.4 Fractional
Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the settlement of the Award.

7. Tax
Withholding.


 


7.1 In
General. At the time the Grant Notice is executed, or at any time thereafter as requested by a Participating Company, the Participant
hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant,
and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for, any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax (including
any social insurance) withholding obligations of the Participating Company, if any, which arise in connection with the Award, the
vesting of Units or the issuance of shares of Stock in settlement thereof. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares
of Stock until the tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company have been satisfied by the Participant.


 


7.2 Assignment
of Sale Proceeds. Subject to compliance with applicable law and the Company’s Trading Compliance Policy, if permitted
by the Company, the Participant may satisfy the Participating Company’s tax withholding obligations in accordance with procedures
established by the Company providing for delivery by the Participant to the Company or a broker approved by the Company of properly
executed instructions, in a form approved by the Company, providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale
with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon settlement of Units.


 


7.3 Withholding
in Shares. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the Participant to satisfy all or any portion
of a Participating Company’s tax withholding obligations by deducting from the shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to the
Participant in settlement of the Award a number of whole shares having a fair market value, as determined by the Company as of
the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the amount of such tax withholding obligations determined
by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates, if required to avoid liability with respect to classification of the Award
under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.


 


7.4 THE
PARTICIPANT IS ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH A TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF RECEIVING THE AWARD OR SHARES OF STOCK
ISSUED UPON VESTING OF THE AWARD OF OR TRANSFERRING THE SHARES OF STOCK.


 


8. Adjustments
for Changes in Capital Structure.


 


Subject to any required
action by the stockholders of the Company and the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable, in the event
of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization,
reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off,
combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment
of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (other than regular, periodic cash
dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of
shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number of Units subject to the Award and/or the
number and kind of shares or other property to be issued in settlement of the Award, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement
of the Participant’s rights under the Award. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the
Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.” Any and all new, substituted
or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Company’s
dividend policy) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of ownership of Units acquired pursuant to this Award will be immediately
subject to the provisions of this Award on the same basis as all Units originally acquired hereunder. Any fractional Unit or share
resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall
be determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

9. Rights
as a Stockholder, Director, Employee or Consultant.


 


The Participant
shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares which may be issued in settlement of this Award until the date
of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior
to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in Section 8. If the Participant is an Employee, the Participant understands
and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company
and the Participant, the Participant’s employment is “at
will” and is for no specified term. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant
any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company
Group to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time.


 


10. Legends.


 


The Company may at any
time place legends referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing
shares of stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant
shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant
to this Award in the possession of the Participant in order to
carry out the provisions of this Section.


 


11. Compliance
with Section 409A.


 


It is intended that any
election, payment or benefit which is made or provided pursuant to or in connection with this Award that may result in Section
409A Deferred Compensation shall comply in all respects with the applicable requirements of Section 409A (including applicable
regulations or other administrative guidance thereunder, as determined by the Committee in good faith) to avoid the unfavorable
tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. In connection with effecting such compliance with Section 409A, the following
shall apply:


 


11.1 Separation
from Service; Required Delay in Payment to Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, no
amount payable pursuant to this Agreement on account of the Participant’s termination of Service which constitutes a “deferral
of compensation” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (the “Section
409A Regulations”) shall be paid unless and until the Participant has incurred a “separation from service”
within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations. Furthermore, to the extent that the Participant is a “specified employee”
within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations as of the date of the Participant’s separation from service, no amount
that constitutes a deferral of compensation which is payable on account of the Participant’s separation from service shall
be paid to the Participant before the date (the “Delayed Payment Date”) which is first day of the seventh
month after the date of the Participant’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death
following such separation from service. All such amounts that would, but for this Section, become payable prior to the Delayed
Payment Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.


 






    7


     


    

 


11.2 Other
Changes in Time of Payment. Neither the Participant nor the Company shall take any action to accelerate or delay the payment
of any benefits under this Agreement in any manner which would not be in compliance with the Section 409A Regulations.


 


11.3 Amendments
to Comply with Section 409A; Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company
is authorized to amend this Agreement, to void or amend any election made by the Participant under this Agreement and/or to delay
the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in such manner as may be determined by the Company, in its discretion,
to be necessary or appropriate to comply with the Section 409A Regulations without prior notice to or consent of the Participant.
The Participant hereby releases and holds harmless the Company, its directors, officers and stockholders from any and all claims
that may arise from or relate to any tax liability, penalties, interest, costs, fees or other liability incurred by the Participant
in connection with the Award, including as a result of the application of Section 409A.


 


11.4 Advice
of Independent Tax Advisor. The Company has not obtained a tax ruling or other confirmation from the Internal Revenue Service
with regard to the application of Section 409A to the Award, and the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement
will avoid adverse tax consequences to the Participant, including as a result of the application of Section 409A to the Award.
The Participant hereby acknowledges that he or she has been advised to seek the advice of his or her own independent tax advisor
prior to entering into this Agreement and is not relying upon any representations of the Company or any of its agents as to the
effect of or the advisability of entering into this Agreement.


 


12. Miscellaneous
Provisions.


 


12.1 Termination
or Amendment. The Committee may terminate or amend the Plan or this Agreement at any time; provided, however, that except as
provided in the Grant Notice in connection with a Change in Control, if applicable, no such termination or amendment may have a
materially adverse effect on the Participant’s rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Participant
unless such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law or government regulation, including, but not limited
to, Section 409A. No amendment or addition to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.


 


12.2 Nontransferability
of the Award. Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock on the applicable Settlement Date, neither this Award nor any Units
subject to this Award shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to the Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s
lifetime only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.
