 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the

 2. Vesting of Restricted Stock. 

(a) Vesting Schedule. The Award shall initially be unvested. Provided that a Termination has not occurred, the Award shall vest in
substantially equal quarterly installments over the three (3) year period following the Date of Grant; provided that the exact amounts and dates of each installment vesting shall be determined by the Company. 

(b) Termination. Upon a Termination or Qualifying Termination this Award shall be treated in accordance with the Plan. 

3. Book Entry; Certificates. The Company shall recognize the Participant’s ownership through uncertificated book entry. If elected
by the Company, certificates evidencing the Common Stock granted hereunder may be issued by the Company and any such certificates shall be registered in the Participant’s name on the stock transfer books of the Company promptly after the date
hereof. No certificates shall be issued for fractional shares.

and losses of the Company, voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to shares of Restricted Stock. 
 5. Restrictions. Any
Common Stock issued to the Participant pursuant to the Award shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee (or its designee) may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Common Stock are listed and any applicable U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state or local laws, and the Committee (or its designee) may
cause a notation or notations to be entered into the books and records of the Company to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

6. No Right to Continued Service. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement nor the granting of the Award hereunder shall impose any
obligation on the Company or any Affiliate of the Company to continue the engagement of the Participant. 
 7. Transferability. 

(a) Shares of Restricted Stock may not, at any time prior to becoming vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, be Transferred and any
such purported Transfer shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate of the Company; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or
encumbrance. 
 (b) “Transfer” shall mean (in either the noun or the verb form, including with respect to the verb form, all
conjugations thereof within their correlative meanings) with respect to any security, the gift, sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition (whether for or without consideration, whether directly or indirectly, and whether
voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) of such security or any interest therein. 
 8. Securities Laws; Cooperation. Upon the
vesting of the Award (or any portion thereof), the Participant will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may request in order to comply with applicable securities laws, the Plan or with this
Agreement. 
 9. Notices. Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at the
principal executive office of the Company and to the Participant at the address as set forth on the Signature Page or to either party at such other address as either party hereto may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall
