 1. Grant of Award; Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Long-Term Incentive Plan, this Award and in the Notice of Grant, the Company hereby grants to the
Participant an award of Restricted Stock specified in the Notice of Grant, subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 14 of the Long-Term Incentive Plan. 

2. Restrictions on Transfer. Stock certificates representing the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be registered in
the Participant’s name. Prior to the shares of Restricted Stock becoming vested, such certificates shall be held by the Company on behalf of the Participant and shall bear a legend to restrict transfer of the certificate until the Restricted
Stock has vested, as set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof. Except as may otherwise be expressly permitted by the Committee, no share of Restricted Stock may be sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged by the Participant until such share has vested in
accordance with the terms hereof, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. At the time Restricted Stock vests (and upon the return of such certificates to the Company), a certificate for such vested shares shall be delivered to
the Participant (or the beneficiary designated by the Participant in the event of death), free of all such restrictions. 
 The
terms of this Agreement and the Long-Term Incentive Plan applicable to the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Participant. 

3. Vesting. If the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, the Restricted
Stock shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant (it being understood that the right to transfer the Restricted Stock shall be cumulative, so that the Participant may transfer on or after any such anniversary
that number of shares of Restricted Stock which the Participant was entitled to transfer but did not transfer during any preceding period or periods). Notwithstanding the vesting conditions set forth herein: (i) the Committee may in its
discretion at any time accelerate the vesting of Restricted Stock or otherwise waive or amend any conditions of a grant of a Restricted Stock; and (ii) all the Restricted Stock shall vest upon a Change in Control of upon the death of the
Participant. 







 4. Termination in Event of Nonemployment. In the event that the Participant
ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason other than death, the Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be forfeited, except to the extent that they have vested and become transferable in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 on the date the Participant ceases to be so employed. In the event of a forfeiture of the Restricted Stock upon the Participant’s termination of employment before all the Participant’s
Restricted Stock has vested, any purchase price paid by the Participant shall be returned to the Participant. 
 5.
Assignability. The rights granted pursuant hereto shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order
as defined by Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Any attempt to do so contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void. No assignment of the rights herein granted shall be effective to bind
the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such documents and evidence as the Company may deem necessary to establish the validity of the assignment and the acceptance by the assignee or
assignees of the terms and conditions hereof. 
 6. Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, the Participant shall have, with respect to the Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Award before it has vested, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares, and the right to receive any
dividends thereon. 
 7. Administration. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Long-Term Incentive
Plan, the Notice of Grant and this Award, and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation, and application of the Long-Term Incentive Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and

interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Long-Term Incentive Plan or this Award. 
 8. Section 83(b)

amended (the “Code”), to include in his gross income, for the taxable year in which the Restricted Stock is received, the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Restricted Stock on the date of grant (determined without regard to any
restriction other than one which by its terms will never lapse), over the amount paid for the Restricted Stock. If the Participant makes the Section 83(b) election, the Participant shall (a) make such election in a manner that is
satisfactory to the Committee, (b) provide the Company with a copy of such election, (c) agree to promptly notify the Company if any Internal Revenue Service or state tax agent, on audit or otherwise, questions the validity or correctness

election.
