of January 1, 2012. 
 R E C I T A L S 

WHEREAS, the Employee is now employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company in a key capacity and has exhibited judgment,
initiative and efforts which have contributed materially to the successful performance of the Company or its Affiliates; and 

WHEREAS, the Company desires the Employee to remain as an employee of the Company or its Affiliates and wishes to provide the
Employee with the opportunity to secure or increase his or her compensation in order to develop even a stronger incentive to put forth maximum effort for the continued success and growth of the Company. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby mutually
covenant and agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Award. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Employee is hereby granted an Award equal to a targeted value of
$         (the “Targeted Amount”). 

  

	2.	Performance Period. The “Performance Period” is the period beginning on             ,
20    , and ending on             , 20    ;             , 20    ; or
            , 20    , as applicable to satisfy the Performance Contingency. 

 

	 	(a)	 Performance Contingency. The “Performance Contingency” is satisfied if for the second year, for the third year or for the fourth year
of the Performance Period, the Company’s annual Net Income from Continuing Operations (“Net Income from Continuing Operations”) is at least     % of the [adjusted][budgeted] consolidated net income for
20    . More specifically, the Performance Contingency is satisfied if on             , 20    ; or on
            , 20    ; or on             , 20    , the Company’s Net Income from
Continuing Operations is at least $         million which is     % of the 20     [adjusted][budgeted] consolidated net income for 20    . To
determine whether the Performance Contingency is satisfied, Net Income from Continuing Operations will be calculated excluding the effects of the following, if the amount is over $4,000,000 on a pre-tax basis and is not considered in the annual
budget approved by the Board of Directors: (i) charges for reorganizing and restructuring; (ii) discontinued operations; (iii) asset write-downs; (iv) gains or losses on the

	 	
disposition of an asset or business; (v) mergers, acquisitions or dispositions; and (vii) extraordinary, unusual and/or non-recurring items of gain or loss, that in all of the foregoing
the Company identifies in its audited financial statements, including footnotes, or the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the Company’s periodic reports. 

 

	3.	Payout of Award. The amount of the Award shall be the Targeted Amount multiplied by the Modifier. The Award shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable after
the end of the Performance Period, subject to the Total Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”), certifying in writing as to the satisfaction of the requisite Performance Goal or Goals, provided, however, the payment is
made not later than 75 days following the Performance Period. 

  

	4.	Retirement, Disability, or Death During Performance Period. If the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates during the
Performance Period because of the Employee’s Retirement, Disability, or death, the Employee shall be entitled to the full value of the Award earned, determined at the end of the Performance Period so long as the termination event occurs after
the end of the first performance year of the Performance Period and the Performance Goals are met. If the termination event occurs during the first year of the Performance Period, the Employee will be entitled to a prorated value of the award,
determined at the end of the Performance Period and only if the Performance Goals are met, based on the ratio of the number of months the Employee was employed during the Performance Period divided by twelve. 

 

	5.	Involuntary Termination Without Cause During Performance Period. If the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates during the
Performance Period because of Involuntary Termination without Cause, the Employee shall be entitled to the prorated value of the Award, determined at the end of the Performance Period, and based on the ratio of the number of months the Employee was
employed during the Performance Period to the total number of months in the Performance Period. 

  

	6.	Other Terminations of Employment During Performance Period. If the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates during the
Performance Period for any reason other than the Employee’s Retirement, Disability, Involuntary Termination without Cause, or death, the Award made under this Agreement will be forfeited on the date of such termination of employment;
provided, however, that in such circumstances, the Committee, in its discretion, may determine that the Employee will be entitled to receive a pro rata or other portion of the Award if the Performance Contingency is satisfied.

  

	7.	 Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period and at least 180 days after Award Date, and the Employee’s
termination does not occur before the Change in Control date, then the Employee shall earn the Award that would have been earned by the Employee as if 100% of the Performance Contingencies for the Performance Period had been achieved, but prorated
based on the ratio of the number of months the Employee is employed during the Performance Period to 36 (unless the Performance Period is already into it fourth year, in which case the denominator would
