3. Exercise of SAR.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Plan, Grantee may exercise only vested portions of
this SAR and only in the following manner. From time to time prior to the earlier to occur of: (i) the termination hereof in accordance with the provisions of this SAR; or (ii) the Expiration Date (specified above) (the Expiration
Date) with respect to a given portion of this SAR, Grantee may give written notice to the Company of his/her election to exercise some or all of the Granted Shares and become entitled to payment of the Appreciation with respect to the
exercised portion of the Granted Shares. Said notice shall specify the number of Granted Shares to be exercised and shall be accompanied by such agreement, statement or other evidence as the Company may require in order to satisfy itself that the
exercise of the Granted Shares and the entitled of the Appreciation will be in compliance with Applicable Laws including without limitation all applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and regulations.

(b) The Company reserves the right to withhold the exercise of Granted Shares for reasons including but not limited to
the Grantees failure to comply with the Companys rules and regulations; the Grantees failure to comply with Applicable Laws; the Grantees breach of his/her employment agreement; the Grantees unwillingness or failure to
follow Company directives; and the Grantees failure to perform his/her duties and responsibilities.

(c)
Exercisablity of this SAR upon and after termination of the Grantee shall be in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan, except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Section 3(c); provided, however, in the event the Grantee
is subject to a blackout period under the Companys Insider Trading Policy on the date of such termination, the period following termination during which such SAR may be exercised set forth in Section 9 of the Plan shall not begin until
the date the Committee (as defined in the Plan) notifies the Grantee that such Grantee is no longer in possession of material non-public information such that the Grantee may freely exercise this SAR in compliance with the Companys Insider
Trading Policy and Applicable Laws. Exercisability of this SAR upon termination due to death or Disability shall be in accordance with Section 9(a) of the Plan. Exercisability of this SAR upon termination for Cause shall be in accordance with
Section 9(c) of the Plan. Exercisability of this SAR upon termination other than for Cause, as a result of voluntary termination by the Grantee or due to Retirement shall be in accordance with Section 9(d) of the Plan; provided,
however, in the event of voluntary termination by the Grantee, in the event the Grantee is subject to a blackout period under the Companys Insider Trading Policy for at least the five most recent trading days prior to such voluntary
termination, the SAR may be exercised for a period of five trading days following the date the Committee notifies the Grantee that such Grantee is no longer in possession of material non-public information such that the Grantee may freely exercise
the SAR in compliance with the Companys Insider Trading Policy and Applicable Laws. The Committee shall provide the Grantee with any such notice required by this Section 3(c) promptly.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of
this SAR shall be exercisable at any time unless all necessary regulatory or other approvals have been received.

(e) To the extent that an SAR is exercised for a number of Granted Shares which is less than the full number of Granted
Shares for which this SAR is then exercisable, it shall be deemed to have been exercised first with respect to the maximum number of vested Granted Shares for which this SAR has not been previously exercised for the Vesting Date (as specified in the
table in Section 2) (the Vesting Date) that is closest to the Vesting Start Date, then the maximum number of vested Granted Shares for which this SAR has not been previously exercised for the next sequential Vesting Date, and so
forth.

4. Calculation and Payment of Appreciation.

(a) The Appreciation shall be computed by multiplying: (a) the excess, if any of: (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of the
Common Shares on the date that written notice in accordance with Section 3(a) is received by the Company provided, however, that such notice is received prior to 3 PM Eastern Standard Time (the Exercise Date) over
(ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Shares on the Grant Date, multiplied by the number of Granted Shares being exercised.

(b) The Appreciation shall be payable by the Company in Common Shares. Only whole shares of Common Shares shall be issued or delivered,
and any fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest share. The Company shall pay Grantee amounts due upon the exercise of the SAR within a reasonable period after exercise, except that the Company shall withhold or collect from the
Grantee such amounts as are required by any Applicable Laws for payroll withholding, income or other tax purposes.

(c) With
respect to payment in Common Shares, Certificates for the Common Shares to be issued upon the exercise of this SAR (SAR Shares) will be issued to Grantee upon compliance, to the satisfaction of the Company, with all requirements under
Applicable Laws in connection with such issuance, including without limitation, if said SAR Shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), receipt of a representation from Grantee upon each exercise
that Grantee is receiving the SAR Shares for his/her own account and not with a view to any resale or distribution thereof, the legending of any certificate representing said SAR Shares, and the imposition of a stop transfer order with respect
thereto, to prevent a resale or distribution in violation of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Until Grantee shall have complied with the requirements hereof, of the Plan and of all Applicable Laws, the Company shall be under no obligation to
issue the SAR Shares, and the determination of the Committee (as defined in the Plan) as to such compliance shall be final and binding on Grantee. Grantee shall not be deemed for any purpose to be the owner of any SAR Shares until such SAR Shares
shall have been issued in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

5. Expiration Date of SAR.

In accordance with Section 7(a) of the Plan, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless earlier expired, forfeited or
otherwise terminated, each outstanding SAR shall expire in its entirety upon the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date.

6.
Transferability.

Except as otherwise permitted in the Plan, this Agreement is personal to Grantee, is non-assignable
and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable, during Grantee's lifetime, only by Grantee. The terms of the Plan and this SAR Award
Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Grantee.

7. Tax Withholding.

The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this SAR or disposition of the SAR Shares becomes a taxable event
for income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of any local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. For income tax purposes, the Appreciation shall be
considered transferred to the Grantee on the Exercise Date.

8. NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE.

GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE IN SECTION 2 (THE VESTING
SCHEDULE) IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED A SAR OR RECEIVING SAR SHARES HEREUNDER). GRANTEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT THIS SAR AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR
AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH GRANTEES RIGHT OR THE COMPANYS RIGHT TO TERMINATE GRANTEES RELATIONSHIP AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

THE SAR GRANTED HEREUNDER SHALL NOT FORM ANY PART OF THE WAGES OR SALARY OF THE GRANTEE FOR PURPOSES OF SEVERANCE PAY OR TERMINATION
INDEMNITIES, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE REASON FOR TERMINATION.

9. No Rights of Shareholders.

Neither Grantee nor a permissible assignee of this SAR shall have any of the rights and privileges of a shareholder of the Company, unless
and until SAR Shares have been issued in the name of Grantee or such permissible assignee, as applicable.

case at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.

Award Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this SAR Award Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and SAR Award Agreement. Grantee hereby agrees to accept as
binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan and SAR Award Agreement.

In the event that any provision of this SAR Award Agreement conflicts with or is inconsistent in any respect with the terms of the Plan,
the terms of the Plan shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
