ARTICLE 1
Definitions

For the purpose of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the context, the following phrases or terms shall have the following indicated meanings:
 1.1“Account or Accounts” shall mean a book account reflecting amounts credited to a Participant’s Separation From Service Account and/or Scheduled Withdrawal Account as adjusted for deemed investment performance and all distributions or withdrawals made by the Participant or his or her Beneficiary. To the extent that it is considered necessary or appropriate, the Plan Administrator shall maintain separate subaccounts for each Plan Year for each source of contribution under this Plan or shall otherwise provide a means for determining that portion of an Account attributable to each contribution source. 

1.2“Affiliate” shall mean any business entity that is a member of a controlled group of corporations, within the meaning of Section 414(b) of the Code, of which the Plan Sponsor is a member; any other trade or business organization (whether or not incorporated) under common control, within the meaning of Section 414(c) of the Code, with the Plan Sponsor; and any service organization that is a member of an affiliated service group, within the meaning of Section 414(m) of the Code, of which the Plan Sponsor is a member; and any other organization that is required to be aggregated with the Plan Sponsor under Section 414(o) of the Code and whose Eligible Employees are authorized to participate in this Plan by the Plan Administrator.

1.3“Annual Bonus” shall mean any compensation, in addition to Base Salary and Performance-Based Compensation relating to services performed during any Plan Year, whether or not paid in such Plan Year or included on the Federal Income Tax Form W-2 for such Plan Year, payable to a Participant as an employee under any of the Employer’s annual bonus or cash incentive plans, excluding stock options. Annual Bonus shall consist of any amount or portion of any amount that will be paid either regardless of performance or based on a level of performance that is substantially certain to be met.  

1.4“Annual Deferral Amount” shall mean that portion of a Participant’s Base Salary, Annual Bonus and/or Performance-Based Compensation that a Participant elects to defer for any one Plan Year.

1.5“Applicable Guidance” shall mean Section 409A of the Code and any Treasury Regulations and other applicable guidance thereunder issued by the Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service, including, as applicable, any Code Section 409A guidance in effect prior to January 1, 2009.  

1.6“Base Salary” shall mean the annual cash compensation relating to services performed during any Plan Year (excluding bonuses, commissions, overtime, fringe benefits, incentive payments, non-monetary awards, relocation expenses, retainers, directors fees and other fees, severance allowances, pay in lieu of vacations, insurance premiums paid by the Employer, insurance benefits paid to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary, stock options and grants, and car allowances) paid to a Participant for services rendered to the Employer or an Affiliate. Base Salary shall be calculated before reduction for compensation voluntarily deferred or contributed by the Participant pursuant to all qualified or non-qualified plans of the Employer or an Affiliate and shall be calculated to include amounts not otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) of the Code pursuant to plans established by the Employer or an Affiliate; provided, however, that all such amounts will be included in Compensation only to the extent that, had there been no such Plan, the amounts would have been payable in cash to the Participant.

1.7“Beneficiary” shall mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other entities that are entitled to receive benefits under this Plan upon the death of the Participant.  

1.9“Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of the events described in any of Subparagraph (a), (b), or (c), below, or any combination of said event(s) as described within the meaning of Treasury Regulations 1.409A-3(i)(5):

(a)Change of Ownership of the Employer.  A change of ownership occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of the stock of the Employer that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Employer or of any corporation that owns at least fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value and total voting power of the Employer, as such ownership is computed under the provisions of Applicable Guidance.

However, if any person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of  the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Employer, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or group of persons is not considered to cause a Change of Control.  For this purpose, an increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person or group, as a result of a transaction in which the Employer acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock.  The rule set forth in the immediately preceding sentence applies only when there is a transfer of stock of the Employer (or issuance of stock of the Employer) and the stock of the Employer remains outstanding after the transaction.
Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the Employer at the same time or as a result of the same public offering.  However, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are shareholders of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock or similar business transaction with the Employer. Persons will also be considered to be acting as a group to the extent set forth in Applicable Guidance. 
(b)Effective Change of Control.  Effective Change of Control shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the Employer possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Employer.  or, a majority of the members of Employer’s Board of Directors is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of Employer’s Board of Directors prior to the date of the appointment or election.”

However, if any person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control a corporation, the acquisition of additional control of the corporation by the same person or group of persons will not be considered to cause a Change of Control.
Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the Employer at the same time or as a result of the same public offering.  However, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are shareholders of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock or similar 

business transaction with the Employer. Persons will also be considered to be acting as a group to the extent set forth in Applicable Guidance.
(c)Change in Ownership of Employer’s Assets.  A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Employer’s assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons of assets from the Employer that have a total fair market value equal to more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Employer immediately prior to such initial acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Employer, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

There will be no Change of Control under this Subparagraph (c) when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the Employer immediately after the transfer.  A transfer of assets by the Employer is not treated as a change in ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to:
(i)A shareholder of the Employer (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock;

(ii)An entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or total voting power of the stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by the Employer;

(iii)A person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or total voting power of the stock of the Employer; or 

(iv)An entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or total voting power of the Stock which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in (iii) above.

For purposes of the definition of Change of Control, Change of Control of the Employer shall include a Change of Control of any corporation that is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value and total voting power of the Employer.

For purposes of determining whether a Change of Control has occurred ownership shall be determined in accordance with the rules set forth in Applicable Guidance.
Notwithstanding the above, the definition of Change of Control shall in any event comply with Section 409A and Applicable Guidance.

1.9“Claimant” shall mean a person who believes that he or she is being denied a benefit to which he or she is entitled hereunder.

The Plan Administrator will determine whether a Participant has incurred a Disability based on its own good faith determination and may require a Participant to submit to reasonable physical and mental examinations for this purpose.  A Participant will also be deemed to have incurred a Disability if determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration or in accordance with a disability insurance program,

ARTICLE 2
Selection, Enrollment, Eligibility

 2.1Selection by Plan Sponsor. Participation in this Plan shall be limited to a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Employer, as determined by the Plan Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion. The initial group of Eligible Employees shall become Participants on the Effective Date of this Plan. Any individual selected as an Eligible Employee after the Effective Date, shall become a Participant on the first Entry Date occurring on or after the date on which he or she becomes an Eligible Employee.

2.2Re-Employment.  If a Participant who incurs a Separation from Service is subsequently re-employed by the Employer, he or she may, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator, become a Participant in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.

2.3Enrollment Requirements. As a condition to participation in this Plan, each selected Eligible Employee shall complete, execute, and return to the Plan Administrator a Participation Agreement and Election Form within the time specified by the Plan Administrator in accordance with Article 3.  In addition, the Plan Administrator shall establish such other enrollment requirements as it determines necessary or advisable. All elections to defer Compensation with respect to a Plan Year shall be irrevocable, except as permitted in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency pursuant to Paragraph 3.2(d) below.

2.4Plan Aggregation Rules.  This Plan shall constitute an “account balance plan” as defined in Treasury Regulation 31.3121(v)(2)-1(c)(1)(ii)(A).  For purposes of Section 409A, all amounts deferred by or on behalf of a Participant under this Plan shall be aggregated with deferred amounts under other “account balance plans” currently maintained or adopted in the future by the Employer, as required by Applicable Guidance and all amounts shall be treated as deferred under the rules governing a single plan.

ARTICLE 3
Contributions and Credits

 3.1Annual Deferral Amount.

(a)Minimum Deferrals. For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer Compensation in fixed dollar amounts or percentages subject to the minimums (if any) set forth in his or her Election Form. If the election is made for less than the stated minimum amount, or if no election is made, the amount deferred shall be zero.

(b)Maximum Deferrals. For each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer Compensation in fixed dollar amounts or percentages subject to the maximums (if any) set forth in his or her Election Form. If the election is made for more than the stated maximum amount, then the amount deferred shall default to the maximum amount.

3.2Election to Defer Compensation.

(a)Deferral Election Rules. A Participant shall make an election to defer Compensation for each Plan Year on the Election Form provided by the Plan Sponsor.  The Election Form must be delivered to the Plan Administrator during the Participant’s taxable year before the Plan Year in which the services are performed.  An election to defer Compensation 

is not considered made until it becomes irrevocable.  An election may be changed any number of times during the period prior to the election becoming irrevocable.  An election shall become irrevocable on the last day of the Participant’s taxable year before the Plan Year in which the services are performed.  If no Election Form is timely delivered for a Plan Year, the Annual Deferral Amount shall be zero for that Plan Year. An election to defer Compensation shall include an election as to both the time and form of payment.

(b)Short Plan Year. If an Eligible Employee becomes a Participant after the beginning of a Plan Year, he or she may make an initial deferral election within thirty (30) days after the date he or she first becomes an Eligible Employee with respect to Compensation payable for services to be performed subsequent to the election becoming irrevocable.  Any such election shall become irrevocable on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date the Participant first becomes an Eligible Employee (or such earlier date as may be specified by the Plan Sponsor in the initial deferral Election Form provided to the Participant).  In the event an election of deferral is made with respect to an Annual Bonus in the first year of eligibility but after the beginning of a performance period, the deferral election will apply to the portion of the Annual Bonus payable for services performed subsequent to the election and will be calculated based on the total Annual Bonus for the performance period multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the number of days remaining in the performance period after the election and whose denominator is the total number of days in the performance period. 

(c)Bonus Qualifying as Performance-Based Compensation. Notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 3.2(a) or (b) above to the contrary, to the extent that the Employer determines that an Eligible Employee’s bonus constitutes Performance-Based Compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(4)(B)(iii) of the Code, based on services performed over a period of at least twelve (12) months, an election to defer Performance-Based Compensation with respect to a performance period shall be made on or before the day which is six (6) months before the end of the performance period. In no event may an election to defer Performance-Based Compensation be made after such has become both substantially certain to be paid and readily ascertainable, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations 1.409A-2(a)(7). 

(d)Terminations of Deferral Elections Following an Unforeseeable Emergency. If a Participant receives a payment upon an Unforeseeable Emergency under this Plan, the deferral election for that Plan Year shall terminate upon payment from his or her Account to the Participant. A Participant may again elect to defer Compensation for any succeeding  Plan Year, in accordance with the terms of this Plan. 

(e)Changes in Status/Re-Employment. If a Participant who incurs a Separation from Service is subsequently re-employed by the Employer and is again designated an Eligible Employee, he or she shall be eligible to participate in this Plan and may elect to defer Compensation payable for services performed for the Employer during the Plan Year following the year in which he or she was again designated an Eligible Employee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if a Participant has been paid the entire balance of his or her Accounts and on or before the last payment ceases to be eligible to participate in this Plan, but thereafter becomes an Eligible Employee, he or she (i) shall be treated as initially eligible to participate in this Plan and (ii) shall be permitted to make an initial deferral election as provided in Paragraph 3.2 (b).  If a Participant ceases to be eligible to participate in this Plan (other than for adjustments to his or her Accounts for deemed investment performance and distributions), regardless of whether the Participant has been paid the entire balance of his or her Accounts, and subsequently becomes and Eligible Employee, he or she (i) shall be treated as initially eligible to participate in this Plan provided that the period during which such Participant was ineligible was at least twenty-four (24) months and (ii) shall be permitted to make an initial deferral election as provided in Paragraph 3.2 (b).  The provisions of this Paragraph 3.2(e) shall be applied in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.409A-2(a)(7).  

3.3Withholding and Crediting of Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year, the Base Salary portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld from each regularly scheduled payroll in approximately equal amounts (or as otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator), as adjusted from time to time for increases and decreases in Base Salary if the Annual Deferral Amount with respect to Base Salary is expressed as a percentage. The Annual Bonus and/or Performance-Based Compensation portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld at the time such Compensation otherwise would be paid to the Participant. Annual Deferral Amounts shall be credited to a Participant’s Separation From Service Account and/or Scheduled Withdrawal Account at the time such amounts would otherwise have been paid to a Participant.

ARTICLE 4
Account Allocation Elections

 4.1Scheduled Withdrawal Account and Separation From Service Account Allocation. In connection with a Participant’s election to defer Compensation for any one Plan Year, a Participant may irrevocably elect to allocate all or a portion of the Annual Deferral Amount for that Plan Year to his or her Scheduled Withdrawal Account and/or his or her Separation From Service Account.

ARTICLE 5
Earnings or Losses on Account(s)

 5.1Deemed Investment Options.  The Plan Administrator shall select from time to time certain mutual funds, insurance company separate accounts, indexed rates or other methods (the “Deemed Investment Options”) for purposes of crediting or debiting additional amounts to each Participant’s Account(s). The Plan Administrator may discontinue, substitute or add Deemed Investment Options. Any discontinuance, substitution, or addition of a Deemed Investment Option will take effect as soon as administratively practical.

5.2Allocation of Deemed Earnings or Losses on Accounts.  Subject to Paragraph 5.3 below, each Participant shall have the right to direct the Plan Administrator as to how the Participant’s Annual Deferral Amounts shall be deemed to be invested, (“Deemed Investments”), subject to any operating rules and procedures imposed from time to time by the Plan Administrator. As of each Valuation Date, the Participant’s Account(s) will be credited or debited to reflect the Participant’s Deemed Investments.

5.3Deemed Investment Directions of Participants. A Participant’s Deemed Investment directions for his or her Separation From Service Account and/or Scheduled Withdrawal Account shall be subject to the following rules:

(a)Any initial or subsequent Deemed Investment direction shall be in writing, on a form supplied by and filed with the Plan Administrator (or made in any other manner specified by the Plan Administrator), and shall be effective on such date as specified by the Plan Administrator.

(b)All Deemed Investment directions shall continue indefinitely until changed by the Participant in the manner permitted by the Plan Administrator.

(c)If the Plan Administrator receives an initial or revised Deemed Investment direction which it determines to be incomplete, unclear or improper, the Participant’s Deemed Investment direction then in effect shall remain in effect (or, in the case of a deficiency in an initial Deemed Investment direction, the Participant shall be deemed to have filed no Deemed Investment direction) until a date so designated by the Plan Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion, unless the Plan Administrator provides for, and permits the application of, corrective action prior to that date.

(d)Each Participant, as a condition of his or her participation in the Plan, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Plan Sponsor, his or her Employer and the Plan Administrator from any losses or damages of any kind relating to the Deemed Investment of the Participant’s Account(s).

(e)Each reference in this Article to a Participant shall be deemed to include, where applicable, the Beneficiary.

(f)In making any election described in this Article, the Participant shall specify on the deemed investment Election Form (or in any other manner specified by the Plan Administrator), in increments of at least one full percent (1.0%), the percentage of the Participant’s Account(s) to be allocated to a Deemed Investment Option. A Participant’s election must total one hundred percent (100%). If the Plan Administrator possesses (or is deemed to possess, as provided in Paragraph 5.3(c) above) at any time Deemed Investment directions of less than 100% of a Participant’s Separation From Service Account, or Scheduled Withdrawal Account, the Participant shall be deemed to have directed that the undesignated portion of the said Account(s) be deemed to be invested in a money market, fixed income, or similar fund made available under this Plan as determined by the Plan Administrator.

(g)The Deemed Investment Options are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such Deemed Investments, the allocation of such Deemed Investments to his or her Account(s), the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account(s) shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account balance in any such Deemed Investments. In the event that the Plan Sponsor, the Employer or the trustee of the Trust, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the investments on which any of the Deemed Investments are based, no Participant (or Beneficiary) shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account(s) shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Plan Sponsor or the Trust.  The Participant (or Beneficiary) shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Employer. Any liability of the Employer to any Participant, former Participant, or Beneficiary with respect to a right to payment shall be based solely upon contractual obligations created by this Plan.

ARTICLE 6
Vesting and Taxes

 6.1Vesting of Benefits.   A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Separation From Service Account and Scheduled Withdrawal Account.

6.2FICA, Withholding and Other Taxes.

(a)Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year in which an Annual Deferral Amount is being withheld from a Participant, the Employer shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Base Salary, Annual Bonus, and Performance-Based Compensation that is not being deferred, in a manner determined in the sole discretion of the Employer, the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes on such Annual Deferral Amount. If necessary, the Employer may reduce all or a portion of the Annual Deferral Amount in order to comply with this Paragraph 6.2.

(b)Distributions. The Employer, or trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by the Employer in a manner elected by the Participant or Beneficiary (or in the absence of such an election, in a manner determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Employer or the trustee of the Trust), provided that such manner complies with applicable tax withholding requirements.

ARTICLE 7
Permissible Payments, Changes in Time and Form of Payments, Method of Payments

 7.1Payment Following Separation From Service.   A Participant shall be paid his or her Account balance with payments being made on the 90th day following the Participant’s Separation From Service. Notwithstanding the above, if the Participant is a Specified Employee, such payment shall instead be made or commence six (6) months after the Participant’s Separation From Service. 

7.2Payment Following Disability. In the event of a Participant’s Disability, the Participant shall be paid his or her Account balance with payment or payments being made or commencing on the 90th day following the determination of a Participant’s Disability.  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any payment following the determination of a Participant’s Disability shall be deemed to have been made solely on account of such Disability and shall not require a Participant’s termination of active employment.

7.3Payment Following Death. In the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be paid the Participant’s Account balance with payment or payments being made or commencing on the 90th day following the date of death of the Participant (without regard to whether the Participant was treated as a Specified Employee). 

7.4Payment at a Specified Time. In connection with each Plan Year election to defer Compensation, a Participant may irrevocably elect to allocate some or all of the Annual Deferral Amount for that Plan Year to a Scheduled Withdrawal Account. The Scheduled Withdrawal Account shall be adjusted for amounts credited or debited in the manner provided for in Article 5. The Participant will select a specific date for payment (or commencement of payment) of his or her Scheduled Withdrawal Account. The Plan Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may require the specified date of payment (or commencement of payment) to be no earlier than a stated number of years subsequent to the deferral election Plan Year. A Scheduled Withdrawal Account shall be paid (or commence to be paid) on the 60th day after the selected scheduled withdrawal date.  Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 7.4 to the contrary, should any Permissible Payment event set forth in Paragraphs 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.5 occur before distributions have commenced or been made from a Participant's Scheduled Withdrawal Account(s), all remaining amounts credited to such Accounts shall be paid in accordance with the Participant's election as to the time and form of payment which relates to the Permissible Payment event which triggers the distribution and not under the Participant's election as to the time and form of payment which relates to his or her Scheduled Withdrawal Account(s).

7.5Payment Following Change in Control. A Participant shall be paid his or her vested Account balance following a Change in Control with payments being made or commencing on the 90th day following the Change in Control, but only to the extent such payment(s) complies with Applicable Guidance.

7.6Payment in the Event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. If the Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant may petition the Plan Administrator for payment of an amount that shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the Participant’s Account(s), or (ii) the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency plus amounts necessary 

to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the payment. A Participant may not receive such a payment to the extent that the Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved: (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship. If the Plan Administrator approves a Participant’s petition for such a payment, then the Participant shall receive said payment, in a lump sum,  as soon as administratively feasible after such approval.

7.7Subsequent Changes in the Time or Form of Payment. If permitted by the Plan Sponsor, but subject to limitations below, a Participant may elect to change the time or  form of payment to him or her, by submitting a new Election Form to the Plan Administrator, provided the following conditions are met:

(i)Such change will not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the new election is made and approved by the Plan Administrator;

(ii)With respect to an election related to payments made at a specified time or on a fixed schedule, such change cannot be made less than twelve (12) months before the date of the first scheduled original payment; and

(iii)In the case of an election related to a payment other than a payment on account of death, Disability, or Unforeseeable Emergency, the first payment with respect to which the change is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made.

Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 7.7 or in this Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall recognize any permissible Participant elections made on or before December 31, 2008, including changes to such elections with respect to the time or form of payment of a pre-2009 Plan Year Annual Deferral Amount, provided such elections or changes were made in accordance with Notice 2007-86 or other Applicable Guidance.  
7.8Effect of Other Permissible Payment Events.  In the event a Participant is receiving distributions under this Plan as a result of the occurrence of an event set forth in either Paragraph 7.1 or 7.4 above, and an intervening event (“Intervening Event”) occurs with respect to such Participant that would have triggered distributions to him or her under any of Paragraphs 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, or 7.5, any Account balances then being distributed to the Participant shall be paid to him or her in accordance with the provisions of the stated Paragraph triggered by the occurrence of the Intervening Event, but only in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(j)(1) and other Applicable Guidance.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event of the death of a Participant after installment payments have commenced as a result of the occurrence of any other Permissible Payment event, the remaining balance in all of his or her Accounts will be paid in a lump sum to the Beneficiary in accordance with Paragraph 7.3.

7.9Method of Payment.

(a)Cash Payments. All Permissible Payments made under the Plan shall be made in cash.

(b)Definition of Payment.  Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 7.9(c), each "payment" for purposes of applying Paragraph 7.7 is each separately identified amount that is to be paid to a Participant pursuant to this Plan on a determinable date and includes amounts paid for the benefit of the Participant. An amount is "separately identified" only if the Employer can objectively determine the amount. A payment includes the provision of any taxable benefit, including payment in cash.

(c)Installment Payments and Life Annuities.  A life annuity is treated as a single payment. For purposes of this Paragraph, a "life annuity” is a series of substantially equal periodic payments, payable not less frequently than annually, for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant, or the joint lives (or life expectancies) of the Participant and his/her Beneficiary. A change in the form of payment from one type of life annuity to another before any payment has been made is not subject to the change payment election requirements provided that the annuities are actuarially equivalent, applying reasonable actuarial assumptions.  A series of installment payments which is not a life annuity shall be treated as a series of separate payments.  For purposes of this Paragraph, a series of installment payments means payment of a series of substantially equal periodic amounts to be paid over a predetermined number of years, except to the extent that any increase in the payment amounts reflects reasonable earnings through the date of payment.

(d)Form of Payment. If permitted by the Plan Sponsor, a Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of participation in the Plan, may elect the form (method) of payment for the applicable Permissible Payment event. Upon the occurrence of a Permissible Payment event, the Account(s) shall be calculated as of the Valuation Date of said event. If a Participant has failed to select a payment form, his or her Account(s) shall be paid in a lump sum. Installment payments 

(if applicable) made after the first payment shall be paid on each applicable anniversary of the first payment date until all required installments have been paid. The amount of each payment shall be determined by dividing the value of the Account(s) immediately prior to such payment by the number of payments remaining to be paid. Any unpaid Account Balance shall continue to be deemed to be invested pursuant to Article 5, in which case any deemed income, gains, losses, or expenses shall be reflected in the actual payments. The final installment payment shall be equal to the balance of the Account(s), calculated as of the applicable anniversary.

(e)Lump Sum Payment of Minimum Account Balances. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, if a Participant or Beneficiary is to receive a Permissible Payment in the form of installments, and if the Account balances for a Participant at the due date of the first installment is Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) or less, payment of the Account(s) shall be made instead in a lump sum, and no installment payments shall be available.

7.10No Accelerations. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, neither the Plan Sponsor, the Employer nor a Participant may accelerate the time of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid under this Plan, except as otherwise permitted by Applicable Guidance.  The Plan Sponsor shall deny any change made to an election if the Plan Sponsor determines that the change violates the requirements of Applicable Guidance.  The Plan Sponsor may, however, in its sole discretion and without Participant discretion or election, elect to accelerate the time or schedule of payment of certain distributions under this Plan in any or all of the circumstances described in Treasury Regulation §§ 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) through (xiv), including but not limited to: 

(a)Domestic Relations Order. Direct payment of a Participant’s vested Account Balance may be made to an individual other than a Participant as necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code.

(b)De Minimis and Specified Amounts. The time of payment to a Participant may be accelerated, provided that: (i) the payment accompanies the termination in the entirety of the Participant’s interest in this Plan and all similar plans; (ii) the payment is made on or before the later of: (A) December 31 of the calendar year in which occurs the Participant’s Separation From Service, and (B) the date which is 2 1⁄2 months after the Participant’s Separation From Service; and (iii) the payment is not greater than the applicable dollar amount in effect under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code.

(c)Payment of Employment Taxes. The time of a payment to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed on Compensation deferred by a Participant under this Plan (the “FICA amount”) may be accelerated. Additionally, the acceleration of the time a payment to pay the income tax on wages imposed as a result of the payment of the FICA amount, and to pay the additional income tax on wages attributable to the pyramiding of wages and taxes also is permissible.  However, the total payment under this acceleration provision may not exceed the aggregate of the FICA amount plus the income tax required to be withheld with respect to such FICA amount.

(d)Payment upon Income Inclusion under Section 409A.  The time of a payment to a Participant may be accelerated at any time this Plan fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations.  However, such payment may not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and Applicable Guidance.

7.11Unsecured General Creditor Status of Participant.

(a)Every payment to a Participant or Beneficiary hereunder shall be made from assets which shall continue, for all purposes, to be part of the general, unrestricted assets of the Employer and no person shall have any interest in any such asset by virtue of any provision of this Plan. The Employer’s obligation hereunder shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Employer under the provisions hereof, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer and no such person shall have or acquire any legal or equitable right, interest or claim in or to any property or assets of the Employer.

(b)In the event that the Employer purchases an insurance policy or policies insuring the life of a Participant, to allow the Employer to recover or meet the cost of providing benefits, in whole or in part, hereunder, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any rights whatsoever in said policy or the proceeds therefrom, but all of such policies and the proceeds therefrom shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Employer. The Employer, or the Trustee of the Trust, shall be the owner and beneficiary of any such insurance policy and shall possess and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein.

(c)If the Employer chooses to obtain insurance on the life of a Participant in connection with its obligations under this Plan, the Participant hereby agrees to take such physical examinations and to truthfully and completely supply such information as may be required by the Employer or the insurance company designated by the Employer.

7.12Facility of Payment.  If a distribution is to be made to a minor, or to a person who is otherwise incompetent, then the Plan Administrator may make such distribution: (i) to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of a minor payee with whom the payee maintains his or her residence, or (ii) to the conservator or administrator or, if none, to the person having custody of an incompetent payee or as a court of competent jurisdiction should otherwise direct. Any such distribution shall fully discharge the Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator from further liability on account thereof.  

7.13Delay in Payment by Employer.   In the case of payments by the Employer to a Participant or Beneficiary, the deduction for which would be limited or eliminated by the application of Section 162(m) of the Code, payments that would otherwise violate securities laws, or payments that would violate loan covenants or other contractual terms to which the Employer is a party, and where such a violation would result in material harm to the Employer, said payments may be delayed.  In the case of deduction limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code, payment will be deferred either to any date in the first calendar year in which the Employer reasonably anticipates that a payment of such amount would not result in a limitation under Section 162(m) or in the year in which the Participant experiences Separation From Service.  Payments delayed for other permissible reasons must be made in the first calendar year in which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the payment would not violate the applicable loan covenants or other terms, the violation would not result in material harm to the Employer, and the payment would not result in a violation of Federal securities laws or other applicable laws.

7.14Treatment of Payment as Made on Designated Payment Date.  Each payment under this Plan is deemed made on the required payment date even if the payment is made after such date, provided the payment is made by the later of: (i) in case the Plan Administrator cannot calculate the payment amount on account of administrative impracticality which is beyond the Participant's control (or the control of the Participant's estate), in the first calendar year in which payment is practicable; and (ii) in case the Employer does not have sufficient funds to make the payment without jeopardizing the Employer’s solvency, in the first calendar year in which the Employer’s funds are sufficient to make the payment without jeopardizing the Employer’s solvency. 

ARTICLE 8
Beneficiary Designation

 8.1Designation of Beneficiaries.

(a)Each Participant may designate any person or persons (who may be named contingently or successively) to receive any benefits payable under this Plan upon the Participant’s death, and the designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant by filing a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in the form prescribed by the Plan Administrator, and shall be effective only when filed in writing with the Plan Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime.

(b)In the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time any benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living Beneficiary validly named by the Participant, the benefit payment shall be made to the Participant’s spouse, if then living, and if the spouse is not then living to the Participant’s then living descendants, if any, per stripes, and if there are no living descendants, to the Participant’s estate. In determining the existence or identity of anyone entitled to a benefit payment, the Plan Administrator may rely conclusively upon information supplied by the Participant’s personal representative, executor or administrator.

(c)If a question arises as to the existence or identity of anyone entitled to receive a death benefit payment under this Plan, or if a dispute arises with respect to any death benefit payment under this Plan, the payment may be made to the Participant’s estate without liability for any tax or other consequences and the Plan Administrator and the Employer may take any other action which they deem to be appropriate.

8.2Information to be Furnished by Participants and Beneficiaries; Inability to Locate Participants or Beneficiaries. Any communication, statement or notice addressed to a Participant or to a Beneficiary at his or her last post office address as shown on the Plan Administrator’s records shall be binding on the Participant or Beneficiary for all purposes of this Plan. Neither the Plan Administrator nor the Employer shall be obligated to search for any Participant or Beneficiary beyond the sending of a letter to the last known address in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 13.6 below.

ARTICLE 9
Termination

 9.1Plan Termination.  The Plan Sponsor  reserves the right to terminate this Plan in  accordance with one of the following, subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 409A and Applicable Guidance: 

(a)Corporate Dissolution or Bankruptcy.  This Plan may be terminated within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Section 331 of the Code, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1)(A), and distributions may then be made to Participants provided that the amounts deferred under this Plan are included in the Participants’ gross income in the latest of:

(i)the calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs;

(ii)the calendar year in which the amount is no longer  subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or

(iii)the first calendar year in which the payment is  administratively practicable.

(b)Change of Control.  This Plan may be terminated within the thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a Change of Control.  This Plan will then be treated as terminated only if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Employer or any of its Affiliates are terminated so that all participants in all similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of Compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of the date of termination of the arrangements.

(c)Discretionary Termination.  The Plan Sponsor may also terminate this Plan and make distributions provided that:

(i)All plans sponsored by the Plan Sponsor or its Affiliates that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangements under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(c) if the same Participants participated in both arrangements are terminated;

(ii)No payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of this Plan if the termination had not occurred are made within twelve (12) months of this Plan’s termination date;

(iii)All payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of this Plan’s termination date; and

(iv)Neither the Plan Sponsor nor any of its Affiliates adopts a new plan that would be aggregated with any terminated plan if the same Participant participated in both arrangements, at any time within three years following the date of termination of this Plan.

9.2Plan Suspension.  Each Employer reserves the right to suspend the operation of this Plan, but only for itself, for a fixed or indeterminate period of time.

ARTICLE 10
Administration

 10.1Plan Administrator Duties.  The Plan Administrator shall be responsible for the management, operation and administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall act at meetings by affirmative vote of a majority of its members. Any action permitted to be taken at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if, prior to such action, a unanimous written consent to the action is signed by all members and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Plan Administrator, provided, however, that no member may vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to himself or herself as a Participant. The Chair or any other member or members of the Plan Administrator designated by the Chair may execute any certificate or other written direction on behalf of the Plan Administrator. When making a determination or calculation, the Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant or the Employer.

ARTICLE 11
Claims Procedures

 11.1Claims Procedure. This Article is based on final regulations issued by the Department of Labor and published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2000 and codified in Section 2560.503-1 of the Department of Labor Regulations. If any provision of this Article conflicts with the requirements of those regulations, as the same may be modified from time to time, the requirements of those regulations will prevail.

(a)Claim. A Participant or Beneficiary (hereinafter referred to as a “Claimant”) who believes he or she is entitled to any Plan benefit under this Plan may file a claim with his or her Employer. The Employer shall review the claim itself or appoint an individual or entity to review the claim.

(b)Claim Decision. The Claimant shall be notified within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed whether the claim is allowed or denied, unless the Claimant receives written notice from his or her Employer or appointee of the Employer prior to the end of the ninety (90) day period stating that special circumstances require an extension of the time for decision. Such extension is not to extend beyond the day which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the day the claim is filed. If the Employer denies the claim, it must provide to the Claimant, in writing or by electronic communication:

(i)the specific reasons for such denial;

(ii)specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Plan on which such denial is based;

(iii)a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary; and

(iv)a description of the Plan’s appeal procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following a denial of the appeal of the denial of the benefits claim.

(c)Review Procedures.  A request for review of a denied claim must be made in writing to the Employer within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of denial. The decision upon review will be made within sixty (60) days after the Employer’s receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a request for review. A notice of such an extension must be provided to the Claimant within the initial sixty (60) day period and must explain the special circumstances and provide an expected date of decision.  The reviewer shall afford the Claimant an opportunity to review and receive, without charge, all relevant documents, information and records and to submit issues and comments in writing to the Employer. The reviewer shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim regardless of whether the information was submitted or considered in the benefit determination.  Upon completion of its review of an adverse initial claim determination, the Employer will give the Claimant, in writing or by electronic notification, a notice containing:

(i)its decision;

(ii)the specific reasons for the decision;

(iii)the relevant Plan provisions on which its decision is based;

(iv)a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and without charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information in the Plan’s files which is relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefit;

(v)a statement describing the Claimant’s right to bring an action for judicial review under Section 502(a) of ERISA; and

(vi)if an internal rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination on review, a statement that a copy of the rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion will be provided without charge to the Claimant upon request.

(d)Calculation of Time Periods. For purposes of the time periods specified in this Article, the period of time during which a benefit determination is required to be made begins at the time a claim is filed in accordance with this Plan’s procedures without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a decision accompanies the claim. If a period of time is extended due to a Claimant’s failure to submit all information necessary, the period for making the determination shall be tolled from the date the notification is sent to the Claimant until the date the Claimant responds.

(e)Failure of Plan to Follow Procedures. If the Employer fails to follow the claims procedure required by this Article, a Claimant shall be deemed to have exhausted the administrative remedies available under this Plan and shall be entitled to pursue any available remedy under Section 502(a) of ERISA on the basis that this Plan has failed to provide a reasonable claims procedure that would yield a decision on the merits of the claim.

(f)Failure of Claimant to Follow Procedures. A Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article is a mandatory prerequisite to the Claimant’s right to commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under the Plan.

11.2Arbitration of Claims. All claims or controversies arising out of or in connection with this Plan shall, subject to the initial review provided for in the foregoing provisions of this Article, be resolved through arbitration as provided in this Paragraph 11.2.  Except as otherwise agreed mutually by the parties, any arbitration shall be administered under and by the Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), in accordance with the JAMS procedure then in effect. The arbitration shall 

be held in the JAMS office nearest to where the Claimant is or was last employed by the Employer or at a mutually agreeable location. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall have the right to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees, disbursements and costs of the arbitration (including enforcement of the arbitration decision), subject to any contrary determination by the arbitrator.

ARTICLE 12
The Trust

 12.1Establishment of Trust.  Each Employer may establish for itself a grantor trust, of which the Employer is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, subtitle A of the Code, to pay benefits under this Plan (the “Trust”). If the Employer establishes the Trust, all benefits payable under this Plan to a Participant shall be paid directly by the Employer from the Trust. To the extent such benefits are not paid from the Trust, the benefits shall be paid from the general assets of the Employer.  The Trust, if any, shall be an irrevocable grantor trust which conforms to the terms of the model trust as described in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64, I.R.B. 1992-33, as same may be amended or modified from time to time.  If the Employer establishes a Trust, the assets of the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Employer’s creditors in the event of its insolvency as set forth in applicable Revenue Procedures. Except as may otherwise be provided under the Trust, the Employer shall not be obligated to set aside, earmark or escrow any funds or other assets to satisfy its obligations under this Plan, and the Participant and/or his or her designated Beneficiaries shall not have any property interest in any specific assets of the Employer other than the unsecured right to receive payments from the Employer, as provided in this Plan.

12.2Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust.  The provisions of this Plan shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to this Plan.  The provisions of the Trust (if established) shall govern the rights of the Participant and the creditors of the Employer to the assets transferred to the Trust.  The Employer and each Participant shall at all times remain liable to carry out its obligations under this Plan.  The Employer’s obligations under this Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust.

12.3Contribution to the Trust.  Amounts may be contributed by the Employer to the Trust at the sole discretion of the Employer.

ARTICLE 13
Miscellaneous

 13.1Validity.  In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein. To the extent any provision of this Plan is determined by the Plan Administrator (acting in good faith), the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Department of the Treasury or a court of competent jurisdiction to fail to comply with Section 409A of the Code or Applicable Guidance with respect to any Participant or Participants, such provision shall have no force or effect with respect to such Participant or Participants.

13.2Nonassignability. Neither any Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part hereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment (except to the extent the Employer may be required to garnish amounts from payments due under this Plan pursuant to applicable law) or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amount, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall direct.

13.3Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Employer and the Participant. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Employer as an employee or otherwise or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

13.4Unclaimed Benefits.  In the case of a benefit payable on behalf of a Participant, if the Plan Administrator is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable, such Plan benefit may be forfeited to the Employer upon the Plan Administrator’s determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, subsequent to any such forfeiture, the Participant 

or Beneficiary to whom such Plan benefit is payable makes a valid claim for such Plan benefit, such forfeited Plan benefit shall be paid by the Employer to the Participant or beneficiary, without interest from the date it would have otherwise been paid.

13.5Governing Law. Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

13.6Notice. Any notice, consent or demand required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Plan shall be in writing and shall be signed by the party giving or making the same. If such notice, consent or demand is (i) delivered personally, the date of such delivery shall be deemed the date of notice, consent or demand, (ii) mailed, either it shall be sent by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the addressee’s last known address as shown on the records of the Employer, in which case the date which is five days after such mailing shall be deemed the date of notice, consent or demand, and (iii) sent by recognized overnight courier, the date which is the second business day after such sending shall be deemed the date of notice, consent or demand.  Any person may change the address to which notice, consent or demand is to be sent by giving notice of the change of address in the manner aforesaid.

13.7Coordination with Other Benefits.  The benefits provided for a Participant and Participant’s Beneficiary under this Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Employer. This Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein.

13.8Compliance.  A Participant shall have no right to receive payment with respect to the Participant’s Account balance until all legal and contractual obligations of the Plan Sponsor relating to establishment of the Plan and the making of such payments shall have been complied with in full.

13.9Amendment.  The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend this Plan at any time to comply with Code Section §409A, Treasury Regulations §1.409A and other Applicable Guidance or for any other purpose, provided that such amendment will not cause the Plan to violate the provisions of Code Section 409A.  Except as this Plan and Applicable Guidance otherwise may require, the Plan Sponsor may make any such amendments effective immediately.  Except to the extent necessary to bring this Plan into compliance with Section 409A: (i) no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease the value or vested percentage of a Participant’s Account(s) in existence at the time an amendment or modification is made, and (ii) no amendment or modification shall materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights to be credited with additional amounts on such Account(s), or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights with respect to such Account(s).  A change in the Deemed Investment Options offered under this Plan shall not constitute an amendment or modification that is materially adverse to the Participant’s rights with respect to the Participant’s Account(s) for purposes of the preceding sentence.

13.10Drew 2002 Plan.  Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13.11 below, this Plan shall be subject to the Drew 2002 Plan to the extent that the Drew 2002 Plan supplements but does not contradict, the Provisions of this Plan.

13.11Compliance with Code Section 409A and Fair Construction.  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Employer, Participants, Beneficiaries and the Plan Administrator intend that all provisions of this Plan, in form and in operation, including but not limited to,  the definitions of terms, elections to defer, and distributions, shall be made in accordance with and shall comply with Code Section 409A, the regulations thereunder and all other present and future Applicable Guidance.  The Plan Sponsor will amend the terms of this Plan retroactively if necessary, to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A and any Applicable Guidance.  No provision of this Plan shall be followed to the extent that following such provision would result in a violation of Code Section 409A or the Applicable Guidance, and no election made by a Participant hereunder, and no change made by a Participant to a previous election, shall be accepted by the Plan Administrator if it determines that acceptance of such election or change could violate any of the requirements of Code Section 409A or the Applicable Guidance.  This Plan and any accompanying forms shall be interpreted in a manner which is consistent with Code Section 409A, the regulations thereunder and other Applicable Guidance.  However, as required under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(c)(1), the “interpretation” of the Plan does not permit the deletion of material terms which are expressly contrary to Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder and also does not permit the addition of missing terms necessary to comply therewith.  Such deletions or additions may be accomplished only by means of a Plan amendment under Paragraph 13.9.  The Plan Administrator, to minimize or avoid any sanction or damages to a Participant or Beneficiary, to itself, to the Employer or to any other person resulting from a violation of Code Section 409A under the Plan, may undertake correction of any violation or participate in any available correction program, as described in Notice 2008-113 or other Applicable Guidance.EX-10.10

 Exhibit 10.10 

UNISYS CORPORATION 
 PLAN
YEAR Long-Term Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan 
 Restricted Stock Unit Agreement 

 

In order for the Award provided hereunder to become effective, this Agreement must be 

accepted electronically by Participant within sixty (60) days of receipt. In the event that this Agreement is not
accepted electronically by Participant within this time period, Participant shall be deemed to have rejected the Award. 

 1. Subject to all
provisions hereof and to all of the terms and conditions of the Unisys Corporation PLAN YEAR Long-Term Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), incorporated by this reference herein, Unisys Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), hereby grants to the participant named below (the “Participant”) an award (the “Award”) of restricted stock units in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan. Each restricted stock unit (hereinafter
referred to as a “Restricted Stock Unit” or “Unit”) represents an obligation of the Company to pay to Participant up to a maximum of one and one-half shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the
“Stock”) on (i) the applicable vesting date or (ii) such earlier date as payment may be due under this agreement (together with Appendix A, and any applicable country-specific terms and provisions set forth in the addendum and
the attachments to the addendum (collectively, the “Addendum”), the “Agreement”), for each Unit that vests on such date, provided that the conditions precedent to such payment have been satisfied and provided that no Termination
of Employment has occurred prior to the respective vesting date. 
  

			
	Participant:	  	FULL NAME
		
	Total Number of Restricted Stock Units Awarded:1	  	NUMBER OF UNITS
		
	Date of Grant:	  	GRANT DATE
		
	Vesting Schedule:	  	The Vesting Schedule is set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement.

 Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the
Plan. The terms of the Award are as follows: 
 2. Every notice relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective when received or with
date of posting if by registered mail with return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notwithstanding Section 18(f) of the 
  

 

	1 	All of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement are Performance-Based Units. 

  
 1 

 
Plan, all notices to the Company shall be addressed to Unisys Equity Administration, Unisys Corporation, 801 Lakeview Drive, Suite 100, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19422, United States of America.
Notices to Participant shall be addressed to his or her last designated address on the Company’s records. Either party, by notice to the other, may designate a different address to which notices shall be sent. Any notice by the Company to
Participant at his or her last designated address shall be effective to bind Participant and any other person who acquires rights or a claim thereto under this Agreement. 

3. Participant’s right to any payment under this Award may not be assigned, transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution),
pledged or sold. 
 4. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of the Plan or this Agreement, all Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement
that have not vested will be forfeited and all rights of Participant with respect to such Units will terminate without any payment by the Company upon Termination of Employment by Participant or by the Company or, if Participant is not employed by
the Company, the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) prior to the applicable vesting date for such Units, as set forth in Appendix A (the “Vesting Date”). 

For purposes of this Award, Termination of Employment (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of
employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or providing services to the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate or the terms of Participant’s employment or service contract, if any) is deemed to occur
effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively employed or providing services to the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Participant’s period of
service with the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where
Participant is employed or providing services to the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate or the terms of Participant’s employment or service contract, if any). The Company shall have the sole discretion to determine when
Participant is no longer actively employed or providing services to the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate for purposes of the Award (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing such services while
on a leave of absence). 
 5. In the event of Participant’s Termination of Employment within two years following the date of a Change in Control either
(i) involuntarily by the Company or the Employer, as applicable, other than for Cause, or (ii) for Good Reason, any portion of the Award that is unvested and outstanding as of the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment will
become vested in accordance with the rules under Section 11(a)(4) of the Plan, provided, however, that, notwithstanding any language to the contrary in Section 11(a)(4) or Section 11(a)(5) of the Plan, the Units will be paid only in
shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that the Units are nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, then, if the Participant is a “specified
employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, Participant’s entitlement to vesting with respect to the Award shall be as provided in this paragraph 5, but the delivery of the shares of Stock subject to Participant’s
Units shall be made on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment. For purposes of this paragraph 5, if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that the Units are nonqualified deferred
compensation under Section 409A of the Code, Termination of Employment shall be limited to those circumstances that constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. This paragraph 5 will not
be applicable to the Award if the Change in Control results from Participant’s beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Stock or Voting Securities. 

6. Each payment that may become due hereunder shall be made only in shares of Stock, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided
in paragraph 5, such shares will be issued to Participant as soon as practicable after the relevant Vesting Date but in any event within the period ending two and one-half months following the earlier of the end of the taxable year of the Company or
the taxable year of Participant which, in each case, includes the Vesting Date.

 7. Any dispute or disagreement arising under or as a result of this Agreement, shall be determined by the
Committee (or, as to the provisions contained in paragraph 8 hereof, by the Company), or its designee, in its sole discretion and any such determination and interpretation or other action taken by said Committee (or, as to the provisions contained
in paragraph 8 hereof, by the Company), or its designee, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes whatsoever. 

8. The greatest assets of Unisys* are its employees, technology and customers. In recognition of the increased risk of unfairly losing any of these assets to
its competitors, Unisys has adopted the following policy. By accepting this Award, Participant agrees that: 
 8.1 During employment and for twelve months
after leaving Unisys, Participant will not: (a) directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to influence any employee of Unisys to terminate his or her employment with Unisys, except as directed by Unisys; (b) directly or indirectly solicit
or divert to any competing business any customer or prospective customer to which Participant was assigned at any time during the eighteen months prior to leaving Unisys; or (c) perform services for any Unisys customer or prospective customer,
of the type Participant provided while employed by Unisys for any Unisys customer or prospective customer for which Participant worked at any time during the eighteen months prior to leaving Unisys. 

8.2 Participant previously signed the Unisys Employee Proprietary Information, Invention and Non-Competition Agreement in which he or she agreed not to
disclose, transfer, retain or copy any confidential or proprietary information during or after the term of Participant’s employment, and Participant acknowledges his or her continuing obligations under that agreement. Participant shall be bound
by the terms of the Employee Proprietary Information, Invention and Non-Competition Agreement and the restrictions set out in this paragraph 8 of this Agreement vis-à-vis the Company or the Employer, as applicable, and all restrictions and
limitations set out in these agreements are in addition to and not in substitution of any other restrictive covenants (similar or otherwise) that Participant might be bound by vis-à-vis the Company or the Employer, as applicable, by virtue of
his or her contract of employment or other agreements executed between Participant and the Company or the Employer, as applicable, which restrictive covenants shall remain in full force and continue to apply, notwithstanding any provisions to the
contrary in this Agreement and/or the Employee Proprietary Information, Invention and Non-Competition Agreement. 
 8.3 Participant agrees that Unisys shall
be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in this paragraph 8. 

8.4 Participant agrees that Unisys may assign the right to enforce the non-solicitation and non-competition obligations of Participant described in paragraph
8.1 to its successors and assigns without any further consent from Participant. 
 8.5 The provisions contained in this paragraph 8 shall survive after
Participant’s Termination of Employment and may not be modified or amended except by a writing executed by Participant and the Chairman of the Board of the Company. 

9. In accepting the Award, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is
discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; (ii) the grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other
right to receive future grants of restricted stock units, or benefits in lieu of restricted stock units even if restricted stock units have been granted in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future awards of restricted stock units,
if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee or its designee; (iv) the 
  

	*	For purposes of this paragraph 8, the term “Unisys” shall include the Company and all of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. 

  
 3 

 
grant of the Award and Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment with the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, and shall not
interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time; (v) Participant’s participation in the
Plan is voluntary; (vi) the Award and the shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, and the income and value of same, are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, the
Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, and are outside the scope of Participant’s employment or service contract, if any; (vii) the Award and the shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, and the income and value of same, are not
intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (viii) the Award and the shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including,
but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; (ix) unless otherwise agreed
with the Company, the Award and the shares of Stock subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may provide as a director of any Subsidiary or
Affiliate; (x) the Award and Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate; (xi) the
future value of the underlying shares of Stock is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty; (xii) if Participant accepts the Award and obtains shares of Stock, the value of those shares of Stock acquired upon vesting may
increase or decrease in value; (xiii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from Participant’s Termination of Employment (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later
found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or providing services to the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate or the terms of Participant’s employment or service
contract, if any), and in consideration of the Award to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, waives his or
her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Employer, the Company and any other Subsidiary or Affiliate from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then,
by participating in the Plan, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; (xiv) the Award and the
benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability involving the Company and unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its sole discretion,
the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company or be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any
corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; (xv) if Participant is employed or providing services outside the United States of America, neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for
any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale
of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement; and (xvi) in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, the Award, the shares of Stock subject to the Award and proceeds from a sale of such shares may be subject to
forfeiture or recoupment, to the extent required from time to time by applicable law or by a policy adopted by the Company, but provided such forfeiture or recoupment is permitted under applicable law. 

10. Participant acknowledges that neither the Company nor the Employer (or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate) is providing any tax, legal or financial advice,
nor is the Company or the Employer (or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate) making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Stock. Participant is
hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 

11. Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s 

  
 4 

 
participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains
Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of the
shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends or other distributions; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or
eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former
employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. 
 Prior to any
relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or
the Employer, or their respective agents, at their sole discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by means of one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash
compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; (2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting or settlement of the Award either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale
arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (3) withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon vesting or settlement of the Award. 

To avoid negative accounting treatment or for any other reason, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the Company may withhold
or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount
in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock
subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. 

Finally, within ninety (90) days of any tax liability arising, Participant shall pay to the Company and/or the Employer any amount of
Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan or Participant’s receipt of shares of Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means
previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock or proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock in settlement of the vested Award if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the
Tax-Related Items. 
 12. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents and agrees to the collection, use and transfer, in
electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of
implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. 
 Participant understands that the
Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number,
salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, and details of all restricted stock units or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled,
exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Personal Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Participant understands that Personal Data may be transferred to
Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC or any other third parties assisting (presently or in the future) in the 

  
 5 

 
implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that these recipients may be located in the United States of America or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s
country (e.g., the United States of America) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of
Personal Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and
managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite
transfer of such Personal Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom Participant may elect to deposit any shares of Stock received upon vesting of the Award. Participant understands that Personal Data will be held only as
long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Personal Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of
Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to Personal Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Participant’s local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands
that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Employer will not
be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Participant Awards or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore,
Participant understands that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect Participant’s ability to realize benefits from the Award or otherwise participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to
consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative. 
 13. If one
or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Agreement
to be construed so as to foster the intent of this Agreement and the Plan. 
 14. If Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related
to the Award and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control. 

15. Subject to paragraph 2 above, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver or receive any documents related to Participant’s current
and future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the
Company or a third party designated by the Company. 
 16. This Agreement is intended to comply with the short-term deferral rule set forth in regulations
under Section 409A of the Code to avoid application of Section 409A of the Code to the Award; however, to the extent it is subsequently determined that the Award is deemed to be non-qualified deferred compensation subject to
Section 409A of the Code, the Agreement is intended to comply in form and operation with Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Committee reserves the right, to the extent the Committee
deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that the Award is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A of the Code, provided, however, that the Company
makes no representation that this Agreement will be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Code and shall have no liability to Participant or any other party if a payment under this Agreement that is intended to be exempt from, or
compliant with, Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Company with respect thereto. 

  
 6 

 17. The Award shall be subject to any special terms and provisions as set forth in the Addendum for
Participant’s country, if any. Moreover, if Participant relocates to another country during the life of the Award, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant to the extent the Company determines in its sole
discretion that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. 
 18. This Agreement has been
made in and shall be construed under and in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States of America, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions, as provided in the Plan. 

For purposes of any dispute, action or other proceeding that arises under or relates to this Award or this Agreement, the parties (including
Participant’s Beneficiary) hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States of America, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Montgomery County
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States of America, or the federal courts of the United States of America for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, where this Award is made and/or to be performed, and no other courts. 

19. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and/or on any shares of Stock
acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines in its sole discretion that it is necessary or advisable (including, but not limited to, legal or administrative reasons), and to require Participant to sign and/or accept electronically,
at the sole discretion of the Company, any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 

20. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, unless there is an available exemption from any registration,
qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the shares of Stock, the Company shall not be required to deliver any shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Award prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the
shares of Stock under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to
obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or advisable. Participant understands
that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares of Stock with the SEC or any local, state, federal or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale
of the shares of Stock. Further, Participant agrees that the Committee or its designee shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other

 APPENDIX A 

UNISYS CORPORATION 
 The
Unisys Corporation PLAN YEAR Long-Term Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan 
 Restricted Stock Unit Agreement 

Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or Participant’s relevant Restricted Stock
Unit Agreement (together with Appendix A and any applicable country-specific terms and provisions set forth in the addendum and any attachments to the addendum (the “Addendum”), the “Agreement”). 

All of the Restricted Stock Units granted under the Agreement are Performance-Based Units. 

The Restricted Stock Units will vest and will be payable in shares of Stock only if financial performance goals for YEAR 1, YEAR 2, and YEAR 3
established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Performance Goals”) are achieved. Performance Goals1 consist of operating profit.2 One third of the target number of shares is based on performance in YEAR 1, YEAR 2, and YEAR 3, respectively. Threshold, target and maximum performance levels have been set for each
goal. The Restricted Stock Units will be converted into shares of Stock at rates ranging from 0.5 (if performance is at threshold level) to 1.0 (if performance is at target level) to 2.0 (if performance is at or above maximum level) shares per
Restricted Stock Unit granted and vest as indicated below. If the Company’s performance with respect to a metric is below the threshold level, no shares of Stock will be issued in respect of that performance measure, and the related Restricted
Stock Units will be cancelled. See the table below. 
 The targets listed below are Company Confidential and information regarding actual performance
against these targets may be deemed as material non-public information as defined in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
