|   | · | (A) A change-in-control (CIC) event (for purposes of this Term Sheet, having the same definition as provided in the 2007 Performance Incentive Plan) shall result in immediate 100% vesting of all RSUs that are unvested on the effective date of consummation of the CIC. |
|--------|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | (B) An involuntary termination of Tom’s employment without Cause (“Cause” generally defined as egregious acts such as fraud, commission of a felony, etc., determined in the good faith judgment of TSCM’s Compensation Committee) shall result in partial vesting on the effective date of termination of the following number of RSUs: |
|--------|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | o | 100,000 RSUs, PLUS; |
|--------|---|---------------------|

|   | o | The number of RSUs represented by the product of (i) 100,000 MULTIPLIED by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of: (a) 730; or (b) the number of calendar days from and including Tom’s 366th calendar day of employment with TSCM, to and including the effective date of Tom’s employment termination under this provision, and the denominator of which is 730 (for the avoidance of doubt, if Tom’s employment termination under this provision occurs prior to the 366th calendar day of Tom’s employment with TSCM, this fraction shall equal zero); MINUS |
|--------|---|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | o | The number of RSUs that had vested prior to the effective date of Tom’s employment termination under this provision. |
|--------|---|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | (C) A voluntary termination by Tom for Good Reason (with “Good Reason” having the definition ascribed to such term under the “Good Reason” safe harbor provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), all as determined in good faith by TSCM’s Compensation Committee) shall result in partial vesting on the effective date of termination of the following number of RSUs: |
|--------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | o | 100,000 RSUs, PLUS; |
|--------|---|---------------------|

|   | o | The number of RSUs represented by the product of (i) 100,000 MULTIPLIED by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of: (a) 730; or (b) the number of calendar days from and including Tom’s 366th calendar day of employment with TSCM, to and including the effective date of Tom’s employment termination under this provision, and the denominator of which is 730 (for the avoidance of doubt, if Tom’s employment termination under this provision occurs prior to the 366th calendar day of Tom’s employment with TSCM, this fraction shall equal zero); MINUS |
|--------|---|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | o | The number of RSUs that had vested prior to the effective date of Tom’s employment termination under this provision. |
|--------|---|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----

|   | § | Death or Disability: In the event of Tom’s death or disability (generally defined as a physical or mental condition incapacitating Tom from the ability to effectively execute his role with TSCM, as determined in good faith by TSCM’s Compensation Committee) before the occurrence of any one of the “Accelerated Vesting” events described above, Tom shall vest in a prorated number of the RSUs, with the proration determined as a function of the length of time served by Tom with TSCM prior to death or disability in relation to the two-year period following grant of the RSUs (e.g., a disability at the 1st anniversary of the RSU grant date would result in vesting and accelerated delivery of 50% of the RSU award, net of any RSUs that have already vested prior to death or disability). As an example, and for the avoidance of doubt, if a death or disability happens immediately after the 1st anniversary of the RSU grant date, the net number of RSUs that would vest under this provision would equal [(200,000/2) – 20,000 (the RSUs that vested according to their normal annual schedule)] = 80,000). |
|--------|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | o | Payment Acceleration Events: Unless sooner forfeited due to a “Forfeiture Event” described below, and other than the distribution of Shares underlying RSUs that have vested according to their regular vesting schedule (i.e., the 10%, 10%, 10%, 10%, 60% schedule described above in this Term Sheet), all outstanding and previously undistributed RSUs shall be paid to Tom on an accelerated basis following any of the employment termination events described below, with delivery of the RSU value occurring at the times described below: |
|--------|---|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

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

|   | § | TSCM involuntarily terminates Tom’s employment for “Cause”; or |
|--------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | § | Tom voluntarily terminates his employment as without Good Reason prior to the fifth anniversary of his first day of employment with TSCM; or |
|--------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | § | Tom engages in competitive activity (to be defined in the RSU award agreement) with TSCM within two years after his last day of employment with TSCM; or |
|--------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | o | Four weeks of Tom’s base pay (at the annualized rate in effect immediately prior to termination); PLUS |

|   | o | An amount of severance represented by the product of: (i) an amount of money equal to four weeks of Tom’s base pay (determined by reference to the annualized rate of base pay in effect immediately prior to termination); MULTIPLIED by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days from and including Tom’s 366th calendar day of employment with TSCM, to and including the effective date of Tom’s employment termination under this provision, and the denominator of which is 365 (for the avoidance of doubt, if Tom’s employment termination under this provision occurs prior to the 366th calendar day of Tom’s employment with TSCM, this fraction shall equal zero). |
|--------|---|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Change-in-Control Severance: Subject to the caveat prohibiting payment of both general severance and CIC severance (as described above), if a CIC is consummated prior to November 15, 2011, and if Tom’s employment is terminated within two years after the effective date of consummation of the CIC (i) by TSCM without Cause or (ii) by Tom for Good Reason, Tom would be paid 12 months of base salary at the annualized rate in effect on the date of employment termination. |

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

|   | o | Payment shall be made within 30 days after the effective date of the CIC, unless a delay is necessary to avoid imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A (in which case, the delay shall be for the minimum time frame necessary to avoid additional 409A taxes). |

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