---

| | the time of vesting, the Director is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, a director, officer or employee of the Company.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, Disability shall have the meaning set forth in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended

| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. | Change in Control.
|-- | ------------------

For purposes of this Agreement, Change
in Control shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events at any time after the Grant Date:



| | (a) | The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act) or any successor provisions thereto) of beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act or any successor provision thereto), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the
combined voting power of the Companys then outstanding voting securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall be disregarded: (x) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or
related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, (y) any acquisition by a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as

| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (x) | all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination

of such Business Combination owns the Company or substantially all of the Companys assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (such resulting or acquiring entity is referred to herein as the Surviving
Entity) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination, or

| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | (c) | The stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred with respect to the Director if the Director is part of a purchasing group that consummates the Change in Control transaction. The Director
shall be deemed part of a purchasing group for purposes of the preceding sentence if the Director is either directly or indirectly an equity participant in the purchasing group (except for (A) passive ownership of less than 3% of
the stock of the purchasing group, or (B) ownership of equity participating in the purchasing group which is otherwise not significant, as determined prior to the Change in Control by the Committee). Moreover, notwithstanding the forgoing, to
the extent that the Units are subject to Section 409A and settlement of the Units will accelerate upon a Change in Control pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, no events set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above shall
constitute a Change in Control unless such event(s) also constitutes a change in ownership, change in the effective control or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as
defined under Section 409A.



|4. | Dividend Equivalent Rights.
|-- | ---------------------------

If, prior to the settlement of any Units,
dividends are declared with respect to shares of Stock, the Company will grant the Director additional Units with a value equal to the dividends the Director would have received if the unsettled Units had been actual shares of Stock, based on the
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the applicable dividend payment date rounded down to the nearest whole Unit. Any additional Units granted pursuant to this Section 4 shall be considered additional Units under this Agreement for all
purposes, and shall be subject to the same restrictions and conditions as the original Units with respect to which they were credited.



|5. | Restrictions on Transfer.
|-- | -------------------------

The Director shall not, voluntarily or
involuntarily, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise, (collectively Transfer) any Units, or any interest therein, except as provided in the Plan. Any Transfer
of the Directors Units made, or any attachment, execution, garnishment, or lien issued against or placed upon Units, other than as so permitted, shall be void ab initio.



|6. | Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.
|-- | -------------------------------------



| | (a) | Scheduled Settlement Date. Subject to Section 6, each Vested Unit will be settled by the delivery of one (1) share of Stock to the Director (or in the event of the
Directors death, to the Directors estate or designated beneficiary) within seventy-five (75) days following the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and in no event shall settlement occur after March 15th of the year following
the year in which the Vesting Date occurs.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Automatic Settlement of Vested Units Upon Cessation of Public Trading. If there is an event described in Section 2(a)(iii) of this Agreement that causes all
outstanding Units to vest, each Vested Unit shall automatically be settled by delivery of one (1) share of
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | Stock to the Director (or in the event of the Directors death, to the Directors estate or designated beneficiary) upon the effective date of the Change in
Control.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, upon the Directors termination of service with the Company for any reason, the Company
determines the Director is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A (determined in accordance with the uniform methodology and procedures adopted by the Company and then in effect) the Units may not be settled before the
earlier of (i) the first business day following the date which is six (6) months after the Directors termination of service for any reason other than death or (ii) the date of the Directors death. The provisions of this
Section 6(c) shall only apply if required to comply with Section 409A.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | Termination for Cause. If the Directors service as a director of the Company is terminated for Cause, all Units (including all unsettled Vested Units) will be automatically and
immediately cancelled.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7. | Withholding Taxes.
|-- | ------------------

The Director shall pay to the Company, or make
provision satisfactory to the Committee for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld or paid in connection with the Directors Units no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. Except as the otherwise provided in
this Agreement, the Committee may permit the Director to satisfy any tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery of shares of Stock, including shares acquired in connection with the settlement of Units creating the tax obligation, valued at
their Fair Market Value; provided, however, that the total tax withholding where Stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Companys minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory
withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Directors satisfaction of any such tax withholding
requirements shall be a condition precedent to the Companys obligation as may otherwise be provided hereunder to provide Stock to the Director.

THE DIRECTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS REVIEWED WITH HIS OWN TAX ADVISORS THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. THE DIRECTOR IS RELYING SOLELY ON SUCH ADVISORS AND NOT ON
ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS. THE DIRECTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT HE (AND NOT THE COMPANY) SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TAX LIABILITIES THAT MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS
AGREEMENT.

Company, or (iii)

failure to consent to the transmission of such information may limit or prohibit the Director from participating in the Plan.

Plan, as amended from time to time, are incorporated in this Agreement by reference. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement
between the parties, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

taxes, interest or penalties under Section 409A, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and without the Directors consent, modify such provision to (i) comply with, or avoid being subject to, Section 409A, or to avoid the
incurrence of additional taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A, and (ii) to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to the Director of the applicable provision without materially
increasing the cost to the Company or contravening the provisions of Section 409A. This Section 8(k) does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the Plan or this Agreement and does not guarantee that the Units will
not be subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A.
