WHEREAS, the Participant has been selected by the committee administering the Plan (the “Committee”) to receive a Restricted Stock
Award under the Plan.

2. Award. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Participant is hereby granted the Restricted Stock as described in

the following schedule: 
  

			
	 INSTALLMENT

 An installment shall not become vested on a Vesting Date: (i) if the Participant’s Termination of
Service occurs on or before such Vesting Date; or (ii) if, on or before such Vesting Date, the Participant has provided notice of his or her intention to effect a Termination of Service (even if the date of the Termination of Service occurs
after such Vesting Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Restricted Stock shall vest as follows: 
  

	 	(x)	The Participant shall become fully vested in the Restricted Stock as of the Participant’s Termination of Service if the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of the Participant’s death or
disability. 

  

	 	(y)	The Participant shall become fully vested in the Restricted Stock as of the Participant’s Termination of Service if he or she is involuntarily terminated by the Company other than for Cause. 


 

	 	(z)	The Participant shall become fully vested in the Restricted Stock upon a Change in Control. 


(b) If the Participant’s Termination of Service is the result of termination by the Company for “Cause” or a voluntary
termination by the Participant, the Participant will forfeit any unvested Restricted Stock. 
 4. Legend on Stock Certificates. The
Company may require that certificates for shares distributed to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement bear any legend that counsel to the Company believes is necessary or desirable to facilitate compliance with applicable securities laws. The
Company shall not be obligated to transfer any stock to the Participant free of the restrictive legend described in this Section 4 or of any other restrictive legend, if such transfer, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, would violate
any applicable law or any applicable regulation or requirement of any securities exchange or similar entity. 
 5. Transferability.
The Participant shall not transfer or assign, in whole or in part, Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement in which the Participant is not vested, other than (a) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (b) by designation,
in a manner established by the Company, of a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any property distributable with respect to this Agreement upon the death of the Participant upon satisfaction of the
vesting conditions described in paragraph 3(a) above. 
 6. Withholding. Any tax consequences arising from the grant of this Award
shall be borne solely by the Participant. The Company and/or its Related Corporations shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules and regulations including withholding taxes at source. The Participant will not
be entitled to receive from the Company any Common Shares hereunder prior to the full payment of the Participant’s tax liabilities relating to this Award. The Committee, may, in its discretion, permit the Participant to elect, subject to such
conditions as the Committee shall impose, (a) to have Common Shares otherwise issuable under the Plan withheld by the Company or (b) to deliver to the Company previously acquired Common Shares (through actual tender or attestation), in
either case for the greatest number of whole shares having a Fair Market Value on the date immediately preceding the date of vesting not in excess of the amount required to satisfy the withholding tax obligations.

Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding
on all parties. Any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan. 
 9. Not an Employment
Contract. This Award will not confer on the Participant any right with respect to the continuance of employment or other service to the Company or any Related Corporation, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any
Related Corporation would otherwise have to terminate or modify the terms of such Participant’s employment or other service at any time. 

10. Notices. Any written notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given
if either hand delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three business days after mailing but in no event later the date of actual receipt. Notices shall be
directed, if to the Participant, at the Participant’s address indicated by the Company’s records, or if to the Company, at the Company’s principal executive office.
