3.          Incorporation

If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan
shall govern. Unless otherwise indicated herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to such terms
in the Plan.


 


4.          Vesting
and Settlement.


 


(a)          The
RSUs shall vest as follows, provided that the Grantee remains continuously employed by the Company through each applicable
vesting date:


 


		a.	One-third (1/3) of the RSUs shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the Grant Date



 


		b.	One-third (1/3) of the RSUs shall vest and become exercisable on the second anniversary of the Grant Date



 






    	 



    	 



    

 


		c.	One-third (1/3) of the RSUs shall vest and become exercisable on the third anniversary of the Grant Date



 


(b)          Settlement
of the vested RSUs may be in either shares of Common Stock or cash, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, and shall
occur as soon as practicable following the vesting date, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the
year in which the vesting date occurs (such date, the “Settlement Date”).


 


5.          Rights
as Shareholder. If the RSUs are settled in shares of Common Stock, upon and following the Settlement Date and the entry of
such settlement on the books of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the
shares of Common Stock and shall be entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company including the right to vote such
shares of Common Stock and receive all dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such shares of Common Stock.


 


6.          Forfeiture.
RSUs which have not become vested as of the date the Grantee’s Employment terminates shall immediately be forfeited on such
date, and the Grantee shall have no further rights with respect thereto.


 


7.          Restrictions.
Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, until such time as the RSUs are settled in accordance with Section
4, the RSUs or the rights represented thereby may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed
of. No purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposal of the RSUs, or the rights represented thereby,
whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise will vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right
herein whatsoever, but immediately upon such purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposal of the
RSUs will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the Grantee’s rights to such RSUs shall immediately terminate without any
payment or consideration from the Company.


 


8.          Restrictive
Covenants. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, by accepting the RSUs, the Grantee acknowledges
that the Grantee is bound by the following restrictive covenants (the “Restrictive Covenants”):


 


(a)          Except
to the extent (1) expressly authorized in writing by the Company or (2) required by law or any legal process, the Grantee
shall not at any time during the Grantee’s Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates or following the date the
Grantee’s Employment terminates use, disseminate, disclose or divulge to any person or to any firm, corporation, association
or other business entity, Confidential Information (as defined in Section 20 herein) or proprietary Trade Secrets (as defined in
Section 20 herein) of the Company or any of its Affiliates;


 


(b)          The
Grantee shall not at any time during the Grantee’s Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates or following the
date the Grantee’s Employment terminates make any derogatory, disparaging or negative statements, orally, written or otherwise,
against the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers and employees;


 




    	2



    	 



    

 


(c)          During
the Restricted Period (as defined in Section 20 herein), the Grantee shall not become employed in any capacity by, or become an
officer, employee, director, agent, consultant, shareholder or partner of, or perform any services for, or otherwise hold an interest
(other than the ownership of less than 5% of the stock or other equity interests of a publicly traded firm or corporation) in,
any Competitor (as defined in Section 20 herein) of the Company or any of its Affiliates;


 


(d)          During
the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall not directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person
or entity, solicit or hire, attempt to solicit or hire, or assist any other person in soliciting or hiring any employee, agent
or contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates or induce any employee, agent or contractor of the Company or any of its
Affiliates to terminate his or her or her Employment or cease doing business with the Company or any of its Affiliates for any
reason whatsoever; and


 


(e)          During
the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall not directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person
or entity, including any Competitor of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (1) engage in any business transaction or relationship
or perform any services in any material way competitive with the Company or any of its Affiliates with or for a client or prospective
client of the Company or any of its Affiliates or (2) interfere with any business relationship between the Company or any
of its Affiliates and any client or prospective client of the Company or any of its Affiliates or induce any client or prospective
client to discontinue any business relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates or to refrain from entering into a business
relationship or transaction with the Company or any of its Affiliates.


 


The Restrictive Covenants are in addition
to and do not supersede any rights the Company or any of its Affiliates may have in law or at equity or under any other agreement.


 


By accepting the RSUs, the Grantee shall
further agree that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to the Company or any of its Affiliates in
the event the Grantee breaches the Restrictive Covenants. Therefore, if the Company or any of its Affiliates shall institute any
action or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, the Grantee shall agree to waive the claim or defense that the Company or
any of its Affiliates has an adequate remedy at law and the Grantee shall agree not to assert in any such action or proceeding
the claim or defense that the Company or any of its Affiliates has an adequate remedy at law.


 


If at any time the Committee reasonably
believes that the Grantee has breached any of the Restrictive Covenants described in Sections 8(a) through 8(e), the Committee
may suspend the vesting of Grantee’s RSUs pending a good faith determination by the Committee of whether any such Restrictive
Covenant has been breached, it being understood that such suspension shall not cause the settlement to be delayed beyond the last
date that settlement may occur pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof. If the Committee determines in good faith that the Grantee has
breached any such Restricted Covenants, the Grantee shall immediately forfeit any outstanding unvested RSUs and shall repay to
the Company, upon demand, any Common Stock or cash issued upon the settlement of the Grantee’s RSUs if the vesting of such
RSUs occurred during such breach. The Grantee shall also be required to repay to the Company, in cash and upon demand, any proceeds
resulting from the sale or other disposition (including to the Company) of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Grantee’s
RSUs if the sale or disposition was effected at any time during such breach.


 




    	3



    	 



    

 


The foregoing shall not prejudice the Company’s
right to require the Grantee to account for and pay over to the Company on a pre-tax basis any profit obtained by the Grantee as
a result of any transaction constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants.


 


9.          Taxes.


 


(a)          Liability
for Tax-Related Items. Except to the extent prohibited by law, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is ultimately liable
and responsible for any and all income taxes (including federal, state, local and other income taxes), social insurance, payroll
taxes and other tax-related withholding (the “Tax-Related Items”) arising in connection with the RSUs, regardless
of any action the Company takes with respect to such Tax-Related Items. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company (i) does
not make any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Item in connection with any aspect of the
RSUs, including the grant and vesting of the RSUs, or the subsequent sale of the shares of Common Stock and (ii) does not commit,
and is under no obligation, to structure the terms of the RSUs or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s
liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.


 


(b)          Payment
of Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued unless
and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Grantee with respect to the payment
of any taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such shares of Common Stock.


 


10.         Modification;
Entire Agreement; Waiver. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement which reduces the Grantee’s
rights hereunder will be valid unless the same is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. This Agreement, together with the
Plan, represent the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the RSUs. The failure of the Company to enforce at any
time any provision of this Agreement will in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.


 


11.         Policy
Against Insider Trading. By accepting the RSUs, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is bound by and shall comply with
all the terms and conditions of the Company’s insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time.
