hereby awards to the Grantee as of the Grant Date, a target Award of [___] BATRK Restricted Stock Units, [___] FWONK Restricted

Regarding the last sentence of Section 8.5 of the Plan, the Company acknowledges and agrees that there are no restrictions, terms
or conditions that will cause a forfeiture of the Target RSUs or any Dividend Equivalents with respect thereto that are not set

3.           
Conditions of Vesting. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (provided that
such determination is not adverse to the Grantee), the Restricted Stock Units will vest only in accordance with the conditions
stated in this Section 3. Upon vesting, Restricted Stock Units and the related Dividend Equivalents shall not be subject to forfeiture
other than as provided in Section 9 hereof.


 


(a)          
After December 31, 2020 but on or prior to March 15, 2021, the Committee will certify that portion, if any, of the
Target RSUs that will vest based on the Performance Metrics established in the 2020 Performance Equity Program, the date as of
which such certification is made being referred to as the “Committee Certification Date.” The number of Target RSUs
that will become vested Restricted Stock Units may range from 0% to 150% of the Target RSUs, but if the Committee’s pre-established
level of target performance is achieved, at least 100% of the Target RSUs will vest. The payout level associated with the Target
RSUs will apply in a uniform manner to the BATRK Restricted Stock Units, FWONK Restricted Stock Units and LSXMK Restricted Stock
Units.


 


(b)          
The Committee will promptly notify the Grantee regarding the number of Restricted Stock Units, if any, that have
vested pursuant to Section 3(a) as of the Committee Certification Date (with any fractional Restricted Stock Unit rounded up to
the nearest whole Restricted Stock Unit).


 


(c)           
Any Dividend Equivalents with respect to the vested Restricted Stock Units that have not theretofore become Vested
Dividend Equivalents (“Unpaid Dividend Equivalents”) will become vested and payable to the extent that the Restricted
Stock Units related thereto shall have become vested in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject
to Section 7, the Grantee will not vest, pursuant to this Section 3, in Target RSUs or related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents in which
the Grantee would otherwise vest as of a given date if the Grantee has not been continuously employed by the Company from the Grant
Date through such date (the vesting or forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Units and related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents to be
governed instead by Section 7).


 






    3


     


    

 


4.           
Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units (and related Unpaid Dividend
Equivalents) that vest in accordance with Section 3 or 7 shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after the applicable
Vesting Date, but in no event later than March 15, 2021. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made in payment of
shares of Common Stock, together with any related Dividend Equivalents, in accordance with Section 6. Any shares of Common Stock
so received shall be fully vested.


 


5.            
Mandatory Withholding for Taxes. To the extent that the Company is subject to withholding tax requirements
under any national, state, local or other governmental law with respect to the award of the Restricted Stock Units to the Grantee
or the vesting or settlement thereof, or the designation of any Dividend Equivalents as payable or distributable or the payment
or distribution thereof, the Grantee must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to make payment to the Company or its designee
of the amount required to be withheld under such tax laws, as determined by the Company (collectively, the “Required Withholding
Amount”). To the extent such withholding is required, the Company shall withhold (a) from the shares of such class of Common
Stock represented by such vested Restricted Stock Units and otherwise deliverable to the Grantee a number of shares of such class
of Common Stock and/or (b) from any related Dividend Equivalents otherwise deliverable to the Grantee an amount of such Dividend
Equivalents, which collectively have a value (or, in the case of securities withheld, a Fair Market Value) as of the date the obligation
to withhold arises equal to the Required Withholding Amount, unless the Grantee remits the Required Withholding Amount to the Company
or its designee in cash in such form and by such time as the Company may require or other provisions for withholding such amount
satisfactory to the Company have been made. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the delivery of any shares
of Common Stock represented by vested Restricted Stock Units and any related Dividend Equivalents may be postponed until any required
withholding taxes have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) the Grantee
may, in his sole discretion, direct the Company to deduct from the shares of Common Stock represented by vested Restricted Stock
Units and otherwise deliverable to the Grantee a number of shares of the class of Common Stock represented by such Restricted Stock
Units having a Fair Market Value on the date the obligation to withhold arises equal to the Required Withholding Amount and (ii)
the Company will not withhold any shares of Common Stock to pay the Required Withholding Amount if the Grantee has remitted cash
to the Company or a Subsidiary or designee thereof in an amount equal to the Required Withholding Amount by such time as the Company
may require.


 


6.             Delivery
by the Company. As soon as practicable after the vesting of Restricted Stock Units, and any related Unpaid Dividend
Equivalents, pursuant to Section 3 or 7 (but in no event later than March 15, 2021), and subject to the withholding referred
to in Section 5, the Company will (a) register in a book entry account in the name of the Grantee, or cause to be issued and
delivered to the Grantee (in certificate or electronic form), that number and class of shares of Common Stock represented by
such vested Restricted Stock Units and any securities representing related vested Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, and (b) cause
to be delivered to the Grantee any cash payment representing related vested Unpaid Dividend Equivalents. Any delivery of
securities will be deemed effected for all purposes when a certificate representing, or statement of holdings reflecting,
such securities and, in the case of any Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, any other documents necessary to reflect ownership
thereof by the Grantee, have been delivered personally to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, when the Grantee has
received such certificates or other documents. Any cash payment will be deemed effected when a check from the Company,
payable to the Grantee and in the amount equal to the amount of the cash owed, has been delivered personally to the Grantee
or, if delivery is by mail, upon receipt by the Grantee.


 






    4


     


    

 


7.            
Termination of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and terminate at the
time specified below:


 


(a)          
Any Restricted Stock Units that do not become vested in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement or this
Section 7 as of the Committee Certification Date, and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, will automatically be forfeited
as of the Close of Business on the Committee Certification Date.


 


(b)          
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3, (i) if the Grantee’s Separation occurs prior to the Close of Business
on December 31, 2020 as a result of death, Disability, termination by the Company without Cause or termination by the Grantee with
Good Reason, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent not theretofore vested, and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, will
be immediately vested and settled with respect to 100% of the Target RSUs pursuant to Section 4, or (ii) if the Grantee’s
Separation occurs prior to the Close of Business on December 31, 2020 by reason of the Grantee’s voluntary termination by
the Grantee without Good Reason, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent not theretofore vested, and any related Unpaid Dividend
Equivalents, will remain outstanding until the Committee Certification Date and a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units
will vest under Section 3 on such date to the extent the Committee certifies they have vested in accordance with Section 3 (but
in no event at a level less than 100% of the Target RSUs, regardless of actual performance), such pro rata portion to be equal
to the product of the number of Restricted Stock Units that would otherwise vest, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of calendar days that have elapsed in calendar year 2020 through the date of Separation, and the denominator of which
is 365 days; provided, that if the Grantee remains employed until the Close of Business on December 31, 2020 and the Grantee’s
Separation then occurs for any reason on or prior to the Committee Certification Date, the Restricted Stock Units and the related
Unpaid Dividend Equivalents will remain outstanding until the Committee Certification Date and will vest under Section 3 on such
date to the extent the Committee certifies they have vested in accordance with Section 3. Upon forfeiture of any unvested Restricted
Stock Units, and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, such Restricted Stock Units and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents
will be immediately cancelled, and the Grantee will cease to have any rights with respect thereto.


 


8.            Nontransferability
of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units and any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents, are not transferable
(either voluntarily or involuntarily) before or after the Grantee’s death, except as follows: (a) during the
Grantee’s lifetime, pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction that is not
contrary to the terms and conditions of the Plan or this Agreement, and in a form acceptable to the Committee; or (b)
after the Grantee’s death, by will or pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution, as may be the case.
Any person to whom Restricted Stock Units are transferred in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence shall
take such Restricted Stock Units subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including that
the vesting and termination provisions of this Agreement will continue to be applied with respect to the Grantee.
Certificates representing Restricted Stock Units that have vested may be delivered (or, in the case of book entry
registration, registered) only to the Grantee (or during the Grantee’s lifetime, to the Grantee’s court appointed
legal representative) or to a person to whom the Restricted Stock Units have been transferred in accordance with this
Section.


 






    5


     


    

 


9.           
Forfeiture for Misconduct and Repayment of Certain Amounts. If (i) a material restatement of any financial
statement of the Company (including any consolidated financial statement of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries) is required
and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Committee, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial
reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the
Grantee, the Grantee will repay to the Company Forfeitable Benefits received by the Grantee during the Misstatement Period in such
amount as the Committee may reasonably determine, taking into account, in addition to any other factors deemed relevant by the
Committee, the extent to which the market value of Common Stock during the Misstatement Period was affected by the error(s) giving
rise to the need for such restatement. “Forfeitable Benefits” means (i) any and all cash and/or shares of Common Stock
received by the Grantee (A) upon the exercise during the Misstatement Period of any SARs held by the Grantee or (B) upon the payment
during the Misstatement Period of any Cash Award or Performance Award held by the Grantee, the value of which is determined in
whole or in part with reference to the value of Common Stock, and (ii) any proceeds received by the Grantee from the sale, exchange,
transfer or other disposition during the Misstatement Period of any shares of Common Stock received by the Grantee upon the exercise,
vesting or payment during the Misstatement Period of any Award held by the Grantee. By way of clarification, “Forfeitable
Benefits” will not include any shares of Common Stock delivered in respect of the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units during
the Misstatement Period or any securities received as Dividend Equivalents in respect thereof, in each case that are not sold,
exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed of during the Misstatement Period. “Misstatement Period” means the 12-month
period beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whichever
occurs earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement.


 


10.          No
Stockholder Rights; Dividend Equivalents. The Grantee will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or to have any of the
rights of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by any Restricted Stock Units
unless and until such time as shares of Common Stock represented by vested Restricted Stock Units have been delivered to the
Grantee in accordance with Section 6, nor will the existence of this Agreement affect in any way the right or power of the
Company or any stockholder of the Company to accomplish any corporate act, including, without limitation, any
reclassification, reorganization or other change of or to its capital or business structure, merger, consolidation,
liquidation or sale or other disposition of all or any part of its business or assets. The Grantee will have no right to
receive, or otherwise with respect to, any Dividend Equivalents until such time, if ever, as (a) the Restricted Stock Units
with respect to which such Dividend Equivalents relate shall have become vested, or (b) such Dividend Equivalents shall have
become vested in accordance with the third to last sentence of this Section, and, if vesting does not occur, the related
Dividend Equivalents will be forfeited. Dividend Equivalents shall not bear interest or be segregated in a separate account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of any portion of the
Dividend Equivalents (the “Vested Dividend Equivalents”). The settlement of any Vested Dividend Equivalents shall
be made as soon as administratively practicable after the accelerated vesting date, but in no event later than March 15,
2021. With respect to any Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents, the Grantee is a general unsecured creditor of the
Company.


 






    6


     


    

 


11.         
Adjustments. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are subdivided into a greater number of shares
(by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or otherwise) or are combined into a smaller number of shares (by reverse stock
split, reclassification or otherwise), or if the Committee determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification,
recapitalization, reorganization, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase
any shares of Common Stock or other similar corporate event (including mergers or consolidations) affects shares of Common Stock
such that an adjustment is required to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Agreement,
then the applicable Restricted Stock Units will be subject to adjustment in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion,
deems equitable and appropriate in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in this Section 11 following the
Grant Date.


 


12.         
Restrictions Imposed by Law. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.8 of the Plan, the Company
will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock represented by vested Restricted Stock Units or securities constituting
any Unpaid Dividend Equivalents if counsel to the Company determines that the issuance or delivery thereof would violate any applicable
law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any
securities exchange or association upon which shares of Common Stock or such other securities are listed or quoted. The Company
will in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the delivery of shares of Common Stock represented
by vested Restricted Stock Units or securities constituting or cash payment related to any Unpaid Dividend Equivalents to comply
with any such law, rule, regulation, or agreement.


 


13.

affect any Restricted Stock Units (after taking into account any related Unpaid Dividend Equivalents).


 


15.         
Grantee Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action of the Company or the Committee
with respect hereto, will confer or be construed to confer on the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or
