Exhibit 4.10 

DESCRIPTION OF VIATRIS INC. SECURITIES REGISTERED UNDER SECTION 12 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
As of December 31, 2020, our shares of common stock, par value $0.01, are the only securities of Viatris Inc. (“Viatris”, “we”, “our” or “us”) registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  The following description of our common stock, referred to as Viatris common stock, does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Viatris Charter”) and bylaws (the “Viatris Bylaws”) and the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). Copies of the Viatris Charter and the Viatris Bylaws have been included as exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K to which this description has been filed. 
Description of Viatris Common Stock 
General
The Viatris Charter authorizes 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 300,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share for a total authorized share capital of $3,300,000,000. 
As of February 22, 2021, we have issued and outstanding 1,207,082,624 shares of Viatris common stock, par value $0.01. All issued shares of Viatris common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
As of February 22, 2021, there were no shares of Viatris preferred stock outstanding. The Viatris board of directors (“Viatris Board”) may establish the rights and preferences of the preferred stock from time to time as set forth in the Viatris Charter. The Viatris Charter does not authorize any other classes of capital stock.
Common Stock
Holders of Viatris common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by Viatris stockholders. Unless a different vote is required by law or specifically required by the Viatris Charter or the Viatris Bylaws, if a quorum exists at any meeting of stockholders, stockholders shall have approved any matter (other than the election of directors, which is described below) if a majority of votes cast on such matter by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such matter are in favor of such matter. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Viatris preferred stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, if a quorum exists at any meeting of stockholders, stockholders have approved the election of a director if a majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of such director are in favor of such election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a “contested election” of directors, directors will be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. A “contested election” means any election of directors in which the number of candidates for election as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, with the determination thereof being made by the secretary of Viatris.
Subject to the rights of any holders of Viatris preferred stock, the holders of Viatris common stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Viatris Board out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. If Viatris liquidates, dissolves or winds up, after all liabilities and, if applicable, the holders of each series of preferred stock have been paid in full, the holders of Viatris common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all remaining assets. Viatris common stock does not have preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. No redemption or sinking fund provisions are applicable to Viatris common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Viatris common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that Viatris may designate and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock

The Viatris Board may issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and, subject to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, the Viatris Board may set the powers, rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of such preferred stock.
The Viatris Board has the power to issue Viatris preferred stock with voting, conversion and exchange rights that could negatively affect the voting power or other rights of Viatris common stockholders, and the Viatris Board could take such action without stockholder approval. The issuance of Viatris preferred stock could delay or prevent a change in control of Viatris.
 
Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law, the Viatris Charter and the Viatris Bylaws
Provisions of the DGCL, the Viatris Charter and the Viatris Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire Viatris by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, would be expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids the Viatris Board may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Viatris to first negotiate with Viatris.
Board Classification. Until the 2023 annual meeting of Viatris’ stockholders, the Viatris Board will be divided into three classes (Class I, Class II and Class III), one class of which will be elected each year by Viatris’ stockholders. The first term of office of the Class I directors will expire at the 2021 annual meeting, the first term of office of the Class II directors will expire at the 2022 annual meeting and the first term of office of the Class III directors will expire at the 2023 annual meeting. The Viatris Charter provides that the Viatris Board will be fully declassified by the 2023 annual meeting, so that:
 
												
	 	•	 	at the 2021 annual meeting, the Class I directors will be elected for a term of office to expire at the 2023 annual meeting;

 
												
	 	•	 	at the 2022 annual meeting, the Class II directors will be elected for a term of office to expire at the 2023 annual meeting; and

 
												
	 	•	 	as of and after the 2023 annual meeting, all directors will be elected for one-year terms and will be up for election at each successive annual meeting.

During the time that the Viatris Board is classified, a third party may be discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Viatris because it is more difficult and time-consuming for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified board.
Preferred Stock. The Viatris Board has the power to issue Viatris preferred stock with voting, conversion and exchange rights that could negatively affect the voting power or other rights of Viatris common stockholders, and the Viatris Board could take that action without stockholder approval. The issuance of Viatris preferred stock could delay or prevent a change in control of Viatris.
Board Vacancies to Be Filled by Remaining Directors and Not Stockholders. The Viatris Charter provides that any vacancies, including any newly created directorships, on the Viatris Board will be filled by the affirmative vote of the majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if such directors constitute less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
Removal of Directors by Stockholders. The Viatris Charter and the Viatris Bylaws provide that directors may be removed by stockholders (a) until the Viatris Board is no longer classified, only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote, and (b) from and after the date the board is no longer classified, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote.

Special Meeting. The Viatris Bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the chair of the Viatris Board, the Viatris Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors Viatris would have if all vacancies or unfilled directorships were filled or, subject to certain procedural requirements, the chair of the Viatris Board or the secretary of Viatris at the written request of stockholders of record owning at least 25% of the voting power entitled to vote on the matter or matters entitled to vote at the meeting.
The Viatris Bylaws do not permit a special meeting to be held at the request of stockholders if (a) the business to be brought before the special meeting is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law, the Viatris Charter or the Viatris Bylaws, (b) the Viatris Board has called for or calls for an annual meeting to be held within 90 days after the special meeting request is delivered to Viatris and the Viatris Board determines that the business of the special meeting is identical or substantially similar to an item of business of the annual meeting, (c) the business conducted at the most recent annual meeting or any special meeting held within one year included such similar business or (d) the request is delivered between 61 and 365 days after the earliest date of signature on a different request for a special meeting on the same business.
Stockholder Action. The Viatris Bylaws and the Viatris Charter do not permit stockholder action by written consent unless such written consent is granted by holders of 100% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote.
Advance Notice of Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals. The Viatris Bylaws contain advance notice procedures for stockholders to make nominations of candidates for election as directors or to bring other business before the annual meeting of stockholders. As specified in the Viatris Bylaws, director nominations and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only pursuant to a notice of meeting, at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures that are provided in the Viatris Bylaws.
To be timely, a nomination of a director by a stockholder or notice for business to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder must be delivered to Viatris’ secretary at Viatris’ principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of an annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary date, for notice by the stockholder to be timely, it must be delivered not earlier than the 120th day before such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 90th day before such annual meeting or (b) if the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by Viatris.
If a special meeting of stockholders is called for the purpose of electing one or more directors, any stockholder entitled to vote may nominate a person or persons as specified in the Viatris Bylaws, but only if the stockholder notice is delivered to Viatris’ secretary at Viatris’ principal executive offices not earlier than the 120th day before such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 90th day before such special meeting or (b) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Viatris Board to be elected at such meeting.
Amendments to the Viatris Charter and Viatris Bylaws. Under the DGCL, the Viatris Charter may not be amended by stockholder action alone. Amendments to the Viatris Charter require a board resolution approved by the majority of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote. The Viatris Bylaws may be amended by stockholders upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote. Subject to the right of stockholders as described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Viatris Bylaws may also be adopted, amended or repealed by the Viatris Board.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. Viatris is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

 
												
	 	•	 	the board of directors approved the acquisition of stock pursuant to which the person became an interested stockholder or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder before the time that the person became an interested stockholder;

 
												
	 	•	 	upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder such person owned at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, excluding, for

 
						
	 	purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans; or

 
												
	 	•	 	the transaction is approved by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

In general, Section 203 defines a “business combination” to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in financial benefit to a stockholder and an “interested stockholder” as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing changes in control of Viatris.
No Cumulative Voting. The Viatris Charter prohibits cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Exclusive Forum. Under the Viatris Charter, certain claims can only be brought before the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, unless Viatris consents to a different forum. This exclusive forum provision applies to any derivative action brought on behalf of Viatris, any action asserting a claim for breach of fiduciary duty by any director, officer or employee of Viatris, any action brought pursuant to the DGCL or any of Viatris’ organizational documents, actions brought under the internal affairs doctrine, or actions as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Under the Viatris Charter, to the fullest extent permitted by law, this exclusive forum provision will apply to state and federal law claims, including claims under the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Exchange Act, although Viatris stockholders will not be deemed to have waived Viatris’ compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ charters and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with claims arising under federal securities laws or otherwise, a court could find the exclusive forum provision contained in the amended and restated by-laws to be inapplicable or unenforceable.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The Viatris Charter and the Viatris Bylaws include provisions that require Viatris to indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the laws of the State of Delaware, directors or officers against monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of Viatris, or for serving at Viatris’ request in any capacity at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. The Viatris Charter and the Viatris Bylaws also provide that Viatris must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to Viatris directors and officers, subject to Viatris’ receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party to repay all amounts advanced if it is determined ultimately that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified. We also have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and certain of our officers that provide them with substantially similar indemnification rights to those provided under the Viatris Charter and Viatris Bylaws. The Viatris Charter and Viatris Bylaws also expressly authorizes Viatris to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect Viatris and its directors and officers for some liabilities. Viatris currently maintains such an insurance policy. The description of indemnity herein is merely a summary of the provisions in the Viatris Charter, Viatris Bylaws and other indemnification agreements, and such description shall not limit or alter the provisions in the Viatris Charter, Viatris Bylaws or other indemnification agreements.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Viatris Charter and the Viatris Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit Viatris and Viatris’ stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate Viatris’ rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission if a director breaches their fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, Viatris pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.Document

VIATRIS INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT 
AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [________] (the “Date of Grant”), is made by and between Viatris Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [_______] (the “Participant”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the EMA (as defined below).
WHEREAS, Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”), Upjohn Inc. (“Upjohn”), Mylan N.V. (“Mylan”) and the other parties thereto entered into a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2019 and as subsequently amended from time to time (the “BCA”) to combine Mylan and Upjohn to create the Company (the “Transactions”);
WHEREAS, Pfizer and the Company entered into the Employee Matters Agreement, which is an ancillary agreement to the Separation and Distribution Agreement by and between Pfizer and Viatris, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “EMA”), to govern the rights and obligations of Pfizer and the Company with respect to employment, compensation, employee benefits and related matters in connection with the Transactions;
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Viatris Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), pursuant to which Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) may be granted;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the EMA, at the Distribution Time, the Company shall grant to each Spinco Employee that held a Forfeited Pluto Equity Award immediately prior to the Distribution Time, a number of RSUs pursuant to the Plan equal to the value of each Forfeited Pluto Equity Award (a “Make-Whole Award”) pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:
1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Grant.  The Company hereby grants to the Participant a total of [______] RSUs, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise provided in the Plan.  Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Share”).  The RSUs shall be credited to a separate book-entry account maintained for the Participant on the books of the Company.

(b)Incorporation by Reference, Etc.  The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee from time to time pursuant to the Plan.  Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan.  The Committee shall have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations under them, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon the Participant and his or her legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.  The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has received a copy of the Plan and has had an opportunity to review the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Participant acknowledges that the RSUs and any Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs are subject to provisions of the Plan under which, in certain circumstances, an adjustment may be made to the number of the RSUs and any Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs.

2.Vesting; Settlement.  

(a)Vesting.  The RSUs shall become 100% vested on [__________] (the “Vesting Date”); provided that the Participant remains continuously employed in active service by the Company or one of its Affiliates from the Date of Grant through the Vesting Date.

(b)Settlement.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each vested RSU shall be settled in Shares within 30 days following the Vesting Date.

3.Dividend Equivalents.  Each RSU shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents, which shall be withheld by the Company and credited to the Participant’s account (either in cash or additional RSUs in the discretion of the Committee).  Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account and attributable to a RSU shall be distributed (without interest) to the Participant at the same time as the underlying Share is delivered upon settlement of such RSU and, if such RSU is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such Dividend Equivalents.  Any adjustments for Dividend Equivalents shall be in the sole discretion of the Committee and Dividend Equivalents shall be paid in cash or Shares in the discretion of the Committee.

4.Tax Withholding.  Vesting and settlement of the RSUs shall be subject to the Participant satisfying any applicable U.S. Federal, state and local tax withholding obligations and non-U.S. tax withholding obligations.  The Company shall be entitled, if the Committee deems it necessary or desirable, to withhold (or secure payment from the Participant in lieu of withholding) the maximum amount of any withholding or other tax permitted by law to be withheld.  The Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any amounts payable to the Participant in connection with the RSUs or otherwise the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the RSUs, its settlement or any payment or transfer of the RSUs or under the Plan and to take any such other action as the Committee or the Company deem necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes.  The Participant may satisfy, in whole or in part, the tax obligations by authorizing the Company to 
2

withhold Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to the Participant upon settlement of the RSUs with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability.

5.Termination of Employment. 

(a)Termination of Employment due to Death or Disability.  If, on or prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated (1) by the Company or one of its Affiliates due to the Participant’s Disability (as defined below), or (2) due to the Participant’s death, then the RSUs, to the extent unvested, shall become fully vested as of the date of termination of employment.  Such vested RSUs shall be settled in Shares within 30 days following such termination date.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5(a) shall not apply to any death or Disability of the Participant occurring after the date of termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason. 

(b)Termination of Employment Within Two Years Following the Consummation of the Transactions Contemplated by the BCA.  If, on or prior to the Vesting Date and within twenty-four (24) months following the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the BCA, the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated (i) by the Company or one of its Affiliates without Cause (defined below) (other than due to death or Disability) or (ii) by the Participant for Good Reason (defined below), then the RSUs, to the extent unvested, shall become fully vested as of the date of termination of employment, and promptly settled upon vesting, in a manner consistent with Section 2(b). 

(c)Other Termination of Employment.  If, prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates for any reason other than as set forth in Sections 5(a) or 5(b) above (including any termination of employment by the Participant for any reason, or by the Company with or without Cause), then all RSUs shall be cancelled immediately and the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any payments with respect thereto. 

6.Change in Control.  

(a)In the event of a Change in Control in which no provision is made for assumption or substitution of the RSUs granted hereby in the manner contemplated by Section 11(c) of the Plan, the RSUs, to the extent then unvested, shall automatically be deemed vested as of immediately prior to such Change in Control, and the RSUs shall be settled within 30 days following such Change in Control (or, to the extent the RSUs are deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, within 30 days following a later payment event permissible under Section 409A of the Code), in Shares, in cash in an amount equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Share (as of a date specified by the Committee), or in a combination of cash and Shares, as determined by the Committee.  

(b)If a Change in Control occurs in which the acquirer assumes or substitutes the RSUs granted hereby in the manner contemplated by Section 11 of the Plan, and within the 24-month period following such Change in Control, the Participant’s employment with the 
3

Company and its Affiliates is terminated (i) by the Company or one of its Affiliates without Cause (other than due to death or Disability) or (ii) by the Participant for Good Reason (defined below), then the RSUs, to the extent unvested, shall become fully vested as of the date of
termination of employment, and promptly settled upon vesting, in a manner consistent with Section 2(b). 

(c)For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason”, “Cause” and “Disability” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in (i) the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company or one of its subsidiaries, if applicable, or (ii) the Mylan N.V. Severance Plan and Global Guidelines, adopted July 29, 2019, as may be amended. 

7.Rights as a Stockholder.  The Participant shall not be deemed for any purpose, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares underlying the RSUs unless, until and to the extent that (i) the Company shall have issued and delivered to the Participant the Shares underlying the vested RSUs and (ii) the Participant’s name shall have been entered as a stockholder of record with respect to such Shares on the books of the Company.  The Company shall cause the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence to occur promptly following settlement as contemplated by this Agreement, subject to compliance with applicable laws.

8.Compliance with Legal Requirements.  The granting and settlement of the RSUs, and any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable Federal, provincial, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.  The Committee shall have the right to impose such restrictions on the RSUs as it deems reasonably necessary or advisable under applicable Federal securities laws, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or market upon which Shares are then listed or traded, and/or any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.  It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Participant.  The Participant agrees to take all steps the Committee or the Company determines are reasonably necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of Federal and state securities law in exercising his or her rights under this Agreement.  

9.Clawback.  The RSUs and/or the Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs shall be subject (including on a retroactive basis) to clawback, forfeiture or similar requirements (and such requirements shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement) to the extent required by applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act); provided that such requirement is in effect at the relevant time, and/or the rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Shares may be listed or quoted, or if so required pursuant to a written policy adopted by the Company.

10.Miscellaneous.

4

(a)Transferability.  The RSUs may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered (a “Transfer”) by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or as otherwise permitted under the Plan.  Any attempted Transfer of the RSUs contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the RSUs, shall be null and void and without effect.  

(b)Amendment.  The Committee at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the rights of the Participant shall not be materially adversely affected without the Participant’s written consent. 

(c)Waiver.  Any right of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Committee. No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages.  No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach. 

(d)Section 409A.  The RSUs are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted accordingly.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if any provision of the Plan or this Agreement contravenes Section 409A of the Code or could cause the Participant to incur any tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may, in its sole reasonable discretion and with the Participant’s consent, modify such provision to (i) comply with, or avoid being subject to, Section 409A of the Code, or to avoid the incurrence of taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to the Participant of the applicable provision without materially increasing the cost to the Company or contravening the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Section 10(d) does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the Plan or this Agreement and does not guarantee that the RSUs or the Shares underlying the RSUs will not be subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, to the extent that the Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of the Committee’s established methodology for determining “specified employees” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), payment or distribution of any amounts with respect to the RSUs that are subject to Section 409A of the Code will be made as soon as practicable following the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) from the Company and its Affiliates, or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death.

(e)General Assets.  All amounts credited in respect of the RSUs to the book-entry account under this Agreement shall continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the Company.  The Participant’s interest in such account shall make the Participant only a general, unsecured creditor of the Company.

5

All notices, requests, consents and other communications to be given hereunder to any party shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person, by telecopy, by nationally recognized overnight courier, or by first-class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such party at the address set forth below or such other address as may hereafter be designated in writing by the addressee to the addresser:

(h)    No Rights to Employment.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant any right to be retained, in any position, as an employee, consultant or director of the Company or its Affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or its Affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever. 

(i) Fractional Shares.  In lieu of issuing a fraction of a Share resulting from an adjustment of the RSUs pursuant to Section 4(c) of the Plan or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to pay to the Participant an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share. 

(j)    Beneficiary.
