In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company without Cause, all unearned Restricted Stock Units awarded under
this Award Agreement that could be earned during the Vesting Year in which the Termination of Service occurs shall vest immediately prior to the Termination of Service. 

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, if there is a Change of Control prior to a Termination of Service, all unearned Restricted

	4.	 Termination of Employment; Additional Forfeiture.

 (b) All or a
portion of the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder may be forfeited pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan. 
 (c) The Participant
shall have no right or interest in any Restricted Stock Units that are forfeited and neither the Company nor any affiliate shall have any further obligations to the Participant under this Award Agreement. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture of any or all Restricted Stock
Units granted under this Award Agreement in accordance with the Plan. 
  

	5.	 Settlement of Awards; Delivery of Shares. The Company shall fully settle the vested Restricted Stock
Units consistent with Article X of the Plan by delivering Shares or cash in respect of each Restricted Stock Unit that has so vested as soon as practicable after such vesting date; provided that the Company may withhold a sufficient number of Shares
deliverable in satisfaction of such Restricted Stock Unit(s) to be settled to satisfy all or a portion of the tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting and settlement of such units. In no event shall the Participant be entitled to receive
any Shares with respect to any unvested or forfeited portion of the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder. Such distribution shall be made as soon as practicable after the vesting date, but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the
third (3rd) calendar month following the end of the calendar year in which the Restricted Stock Unit first becomes vested. 


  

	6.	 Withholding Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to deduct from compensation payable to the Participant
any sums required by federal, state, or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, as determined by the Company (the “Withholding Obligation”), including withholding from vested
Shares to be issued by the Company in settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit (or portion thereof) that has vested, a number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the Withholding Obligation. In the alternative, the Company
may require the Participant to pay the Withholding Obligation directly to the Company. If the Participant is required to pay the Withholding Obligation directly to the Company, payment in cash (via cashier’s check or such other form acceptable
to the Company), or such other method as the Committee may approve, for the Withholding Obligation due shall be delivered to the

Company exercising its entitlement described in the first sentence hereof, payment in cash (via cashier’s check or such other form acceptable to the Company), or such other method as the Committee may approve, for the Withholding Obligation
shall be delivered to the Company within thirty (30) days prior to the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units. The Company shall have no obligation upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units to issue the vested Shares otherwise deliverable upon
such vesting until payment of the Withholding Obligation has been received or otherwise satisfied.

deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt or the right to receive a document providing the information required by Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated under the
Securities Act, which includes the Plan prospectus. The Participant further agrees not to sell any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement at a time when applicable laws, regulations or the Company’s or any

to the Company), or such other method as the Committee may approve, for the Withholding Obligation, if the Participant desires to pay the Withholding Obligation in lieu of the Company exercising its entitlement in the first sentence of
Section 6 hereof. 
 (b) Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

Participant shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue shares or make any payment pursuant to this Award Agreement. Nothing contained in this Award Agreement, and no

Award Agreement.

 (h) Conformity to Laws and Policies. This Award Agreement shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required and the Company may cancel the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement if it determines that such Restricted
Stock Units awarded hereunder would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Award Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. 
 (i) Stockholder Rights. Neither the Participant,
nor the Participant’s estate or heirs, have any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units unless and
until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and if Shares are delivered to the Participant in accordance with this Award Agreement.

 (j) Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Award
Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Award Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Award Agreement shall be binding upon the

(k) Section 409A. This Award Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code
(“Section 409A”), to the extent applicable, and shall be construed and administered such that the Restricted Stock Units either (i) qualify for an exemption from the requirements of
Section 409A or (ii) satisfy the requirements of Section 409A. If a Restricted Stock Unit is subject to Section 409A, (i) distributions shall only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted under Section 409A,
(ii) payments to be made upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A, (iii) and in no event shall the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar
year in which a distribution is made except in accordance with Section 409A. Any Restricted Stock Unit that is subject to Section 409A and that is to be distributed to a “specified employee,” as defined in Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) upon separation from service shall be administered so that any distribution with respect to such Restricted Stock Unit shall be postponed for six (6) months following the date of the Participant’s separation
from service, if required by Section 409A. If a distribution is delayed pursuant to Section 409A, the distribution shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after the end of the six (6)-month period. If the Participant dies during such
six (6)-month period, any postponed amounts shall be paid within ninety (90) days of the Participant’s death. The determination of a specified employee, including the number and identity of persons considered specified employees and the
identification date, shall be made by the Board or its delegate each year in accordance with Section 416(i) of the Code and the “specified employee” requirements of Section 409A.
