	2.	VESTING SCHEDULE; STOCK SUBJECT TO REVERSION. Except in the event of death, Permanent Disability or Special Retirement or as set forth below, any unvested shares of Stock
automatically shall revert to the Company without compensation on the date that Stockholder’s affiliation with the Company or any Affiliate as an employee, director or consultant terminates, or if Stockholder is an employee or director of an
Affiliate and such entity ceases to be an Affiliate, whether by Committee action or otherwise, on the date such entity ceases to be an Affiliate, in accordance with the following vesting schedule: 

  

	 	(a)	Prior to the first-year anniversary of the Grant Date, all of the Stock shall be subject to reversion. 

  

	 	(b)	After the first-year anniversary of the Grant Date, 20% of the Stock shall be vested and no longer subject to reversion. 

  

	 	(c)	After the second-year anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional 20% of the Stock shall be vested and no longer subject to reversion.

 If the application of the foregoing vesting schedule results in a fraction of a share being vested, such
fractional share shall be deemed not to be vested and shall continue to be subject to reversion, as described below. However, the foregoing vesting schedule shall be applied on a cumulative basis so that 20% of the Stock shall be vested and no
longer subject to reversion after the first-year anniversary of the Grant Date; 40% of the Stock shall be vested and no longer subject to reversion after the second-year anniversary of the Grant Date; 60% of the Stock shall be vested and no longer
subject to reversion after the third-year anniversary of the Grant Date; and 100% of the Stock shall be vested and no longer subject to reversion after the fourth-year anniversary of the Grant Date. Stockholder shall not sell, transfer, assign,
hypothecate, pledge, grant a security interest in, or in any other way alienate, any of the unvested shares of Stock subject to reversion, or any interest or right therein. 
  

	3.	EFFECT OF REVERSION. If shares of Stock revert in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such shares automatically shall be deemed to have been transferred to the
Company, shall no longer be outstanding and all rights of Stockholder shall terminate immediately with respect to such shares. Stockholder agrees that any reverted shares shall be deducted from Stockholder’s account and canceled.


  

	4.	ACCELERATION OF VESTING UPON DEATH OR PERMANENT DISABILITY. If Stockholder is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate and ceases to be affiliated
with the Company or any Affiliate as a result of Stockholder’s death or Permanent Disability, or if Stockholder’s death or Permanent Disability occurs following a Special Retirement, all of the Stock shall become fully vested.


  

	5.	CONTINUATION OF VESTING UPON SPECIAL RETIREMENT. 

  

	 	(a)	If Stockholder is an Executive Officer and Stockholder’s affiliation with the Company or any Affiliate terminates as a result of Stockholder’s Special Retirement in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (iii) of the definition of the term “Special Retirement” in Section 1 above, or if Stockholder is a director of the Company and Stockholder’s affiliation with the Company or any
Affiliate terminates as a result of Stockholder’s Special Retirement in accordance with the provisions of subsection (iv) of the definition of the term “Special Retirement” in Section 1 above, any unvested shares of Stock
shall continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 above. 

  

	 	(b)	If Stockholder’s affiliation with the Company or an Affiliate terminates as a result of Stockholder’s Special Retirement in accordance with the provisions of subsection
(i) or (ii) of the definition of the term “Special Retirement” in Section 1 above, unvested shares of Stock that Stockholder has held at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of such Special Retirement shall
continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 above, and any unvested shares of Stock that Stockholder did not hold at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of such Special Retirement shall revert to
the Company, as described in Section 3 above.

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding the foregoing right of Stockholder to continued vesting upon Special Retirement under this Section 5, all unvested shares of Stock shall revert to the Company
in the event that Stockholder violates the terms of his or her inventions, copyright and confidentiality agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or breaches his or her other contractual or legal obligations to the Company or an Affiliate.

	6.	TAX WITHHOLDING. If the Company or an Affiliate is required to withhold any federal, state, local or other taxes upon the vesting or any acceleration of vesting of the Stock,
the Company shall withhold a sufficient number of shares of Stock at the then current Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) to meet the withholding obligation based on the minimum rates required by law. 

  

	7.	RIGHTS, RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. All shares of Stock issued to Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the rights, restrictions and limitations set forth
in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

	9.	EMPLOYMENT AT WILL. 

  

	 	(a)	If Stockholder is an employee or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate, such employment or affiliation is not for any specified term and may be terminated by employee or by the
Company or an Affiliate at any time, for any reason, with or without cause and with or without notice. Nothing in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the vesting of the Stock pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 2 herein),
the Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement or the Plan shall: (i) confer upon Stockholder any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or an Affiliate;
(ii) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation;
(iii) confer any right or benefit under this Agreement or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan; or (iv) deprive the Company of the right to terminate Stockholder at will
and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that Stockholder may have. 

  

	 	(b)	Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the right to continue vesting in the Stock pursuant to the schedule set forth in Section 2 is earned only by continuing as an employee
or consultant at the will of the Company or as a director (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Stock or any other award or benefit) and that the Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or
more of its businesses or Affiliates at any time or from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”). Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that such a reorganization could result in the termination of Stockholder’s
relationship as an employee or consultant to the Company or an Affiliate, or the termination of Affiliate status of Stockholder’s employer and the loss of benefits available to Stockholder under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the
termination of the right to continue vesting the Stock under this Agreement.
