SECTION 1. GRANT OF DEFERRED STOCK UNITS.

(a) Award. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to Theodore Schell (the Grantee) a total
of 10,000 Deferred Stock Units (the Granted Units) as of December 3, 2009.

(b) Shareholder Rights. The Grantee (or
any successor in interest) shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder (including, without limitation, voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to the Granted Units until such time as the Company delivers to the Grantee the shares
of Common Stock in settlement of the Granted Units, as described in Section 4.

(c) Plan and Defined Terms. This award is granted under
and subject to the terms of the 2005 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan and the Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (2005) Addendum dated July 5, 2005 (together the Plan), which is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized
terms used herein and not defined in the Agreement (including Section 7 hereof) shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. To the extent any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

(d) Grantee Undertaking. The Grantee agrees to execute such further instruments and to take such action as may reasonably be necessary
to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

SECTION 2. NO TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF AWARD.

This Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of law
or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under execution, attachment, levy or similar process; provided, however, that the Grantee shall be permitted to transfer this Award, in connection with his or her estate plan, to the Grantees
spouse, siblings, parents, children and grandchildren or a charitable organization that is exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code or to trusts for the benefit of such persons or partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies or
other entities owned solely by such persons, including trusts for such persons or to the Grantees former spouse in accordance with a domestic relations order.

SECTION 3. VESTING; TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

(a) Vesting. This award shall vest 100% on January 1, 2011 (the Vesting Date).

(b) Termination of Continuous Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the unvested portion of the award shall be forfeited
as of the date (the Termination Date) that the Grantee actually ceases to provide services to the Company or any Affiliate in any capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant (irrespective of whether the Grantee continues to receive
severance or any other continuation payments or benefits after such date) (such cessation of the provision of services by Grantee being referred to as Service Termination). A Service



---

Termination shall not occur and Continuous Service shall not be considered interrupted in the case of (i) any approved leave of absence, (ii) transfers among the Company, any Subsidiary
or Affiliate, or any successor, in any capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant, or (iii) any change in status as long as the individual remains in the service of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate in any capacity of Employee,
Director or Consultant.

(c) Involuntary Termination. In the event of Service Termination due to death, disability, mandatory
retirement pursuant to Board policy or failure of the Director to be re-nominated or re-elected to the Board (provided such Director has indicated his willingness to stand for re-nomination or re-election, as the case may be), the Granted Units
shall vest on the Termination Date and the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the vested Granted Units shall be delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 hereof, provided, however, that in the event of a Change in Control on
or after the Termination Date and prior to the Delivery Date, the Common Stock shall be delivered on the date of the Change in Control.

(d)
Resignation or Other Termination. In the event of Service Termination resulting from the Grantees voluntary resignation or termination from the Board for any reason except as set forth in Section 3(c) above, all unvested Granted
Units subject to this award shall be immediately forfeited as of the Termination Date.

(e) Change in Control. Any unvested portion of
the Granted Units shall become 100% vested upon a Change in Control.

SECTION 4. SETTLEMENT OF GRANTED UNITS.

The Company shall deliver to the Grantee on the Vesting Date or upon the date the Granted Units pursuant to Sections 3(c) or 3(e), or
as soon as practicable thereafter, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of Granted Units that vest as of such date; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock will be issued in settlement of this award unless the
issuance of shares complies with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares of Common Stock may then be listed. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued. The Company will pay cash in
respect of fractional shares of Common Stock.

SECTION 5. ADJUSTMENT OF GRANTED UNITS.

If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spinoff, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to shareholders of the Company,
or any extraordinary dividend or distribution of cash or other assets, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants rights under the Plan, the Committee shall adjust, in an equitable manner, the number and kind of shares that
will be paid to the Grantee upon settlement of the Granted Units.

SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) No Retention Rights, No Future Awards. Nothing in this award or in the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right to any future Awards and to
continue in Continuous Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Grantee) or of the Grantee, which rights are
hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Continuous Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

(b)
Award Unfunded. The Granted Units represent an unfunded promise. The Grantees rights with respect to the Granted Units are no greater than the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

giving or making the same, and shall be served on the person or persons for whom it is intended or who should be advised or notified, by Federal Express (or other similar overnight service) or by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees
prepaid. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Grantee at the address that he or she most recently provided in writing to the Company.

hereof. They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which relate to the subject matter hereof.

(e) Waiver. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition
whether of like or different nature.

(f) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and
be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon the Grantee, the Grantees assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Grantees estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to
this Agreement and have agreed in writing to be joined herein and be bound by the terms hereof.

(g) Choice of Law. This Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable New York principles of conflict of laws).
