Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

 

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
(this “Award Agreement”) by and between ESCALADE, INCORPORATED, an Indiana corporation (the “Company”),
and ______________ (the “Participant”) evidences the Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) granted
on ____________, 20__ (the “Grant Date”) by the Company to the Participant as to the number of Restricted Stock Units
set forth below. This Award is made pursuant to the Escalade, Incorporated 2017 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

 

Number of Restricted Stock Units: _______

 

Restricted Stock Units: Each Restricted Stock Unit is
deemed to be the equivalent of one Share of the Company’s common stock. Upon vesting, one Share of the Company’s common
stock will be issued for each Restricted Stock Unit. Such issuance will be automatic and no payment is required of you. You will
not have the right to elect deferral of the Restricted Stock Units issued under this Award Agreement. Pending vesting of the Restricted
Stock Units and the issuance of the Shares, you will not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject
to the Restricted Stock Units. Accordingly, you will not have the right to vote such Shares or receive dividends until payment
of the Shares is made under this Award Agreement.

 

Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Grant Date: $____
per Share

 

Vesting Conditions – [Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)
Goals] [Other Performance Goals] and Continued Employment:

 

[Total Shareholder Return Goals.
Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, the Plan or the attached Terms (as defined below), the Restricted Stock Units
granted to you shall vest according to the following Fair Market Value Requirement and the Vesting Schedule.

 

Fair Market Value Requirement:

 

During the period beginning on __________, 20__ and
ending on ___________, 20__ (the “TSR Measurement Period”), for any 30 consecutive trading days on the NASDAQ Stock
Market (or such other principal securities exchange on which the Shares are then traded) during the TSR Measurement Period, the
30 day cumulative average Volume Weighted Average Price of the Shares plus any incremental increase from the current quarterly
dividend rate of $____ per share during the TSR Measurement Period is at least __% higher than the Fair Market Value of the Shares
on the Grant Date (the “Fair Market Value Requirement”).

 

See Exhibit A for an example of the calculations to
be used in determining whether the Fair Market Value Requirement is met.]

 

[Other Performance Goals. As
may be determined by the Committee.]

 

     

     

    

 

Vesting Schedule:

 

	Number of Restricted Stock Units	 	Vesting Date
	 	 	 
	 	 	 
	 	 	 

 

If the above [Fair Market Value Requirement] [ Other Performance
Goal] is met at any time during the [TSR Measurement Period] [other measurement period as may be determined by the Committee],
then the Restricted Stock Units shall vest per the above vesting date schedule (subject to the continued employment requirement
specified in the following paragraph) and the Shares will be issued at such time(s). If the [Fair Market Value Requirement] [Other
Performance Goal] is not met at or prior to the time of a specified vesting date but is later met prior to the end of the [TSR
Measurement Period] [other measurement period as may be determined by the Committee], then the Restricted Stock Units that would
have otherwise previously vested shall immediately vest upon the [Fair Market Value Requirement] [Other Performance Goal] being
met, provided that the Participant is still employed by the Company at that time. If the [Fair Market Value Requirement] [Other
Performance Goal] is not met at any time during the [TSR Measurement Period] [other measurement period as may be determined by
the Committee], then all of the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited (regardless whether the continued employment required
is met).

 

Requirement of Continued Employment.
In addition to satisfaction of the [Fair Market Value Requirement] [ Other Performance Goal], you must be continuously employed
by the Company through each Vesting Date in the above schedule in order for the Restricted Stock Units to vest. Separation of service
due to Retirement will result in forfeiture of any unvested Restricted Stock Units. If the Participant’s separation of service
is due to death or Disability, the Company will grant the Participant an additional 6 months of service from the date of the event
(adjusted service date) for purposes of vesting the Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units that have not vested prior to
or at the adjusted service date due to death or Disability will be forfeited.

 

Terms and Conditions of this Award: This Award is subject
to, and governed by, the provisions of the Plan and the Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Terms”)
attached to this Award Agreement, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the provisions
of the Plan and this Award, or between the Plan and the Terms, the Plan shall control. In the event of a conflict between this
Award and the Terms, the Terms shall control except that the terms of this Award shall prevail as to the Vesting Conditions and
as to the Participant having no right to elect deferral of these Restricted Stock Units.

 

Defined Terms: Unless the context requires otherwise,
terms used in this Award Agreement and/or in the Terms shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.

Terms and Conditions of Restricted
Stock Unit Award

 

1.          Account.
The Company shall credit to a bookkeeping account (the “Account”) maintained by the Company for the Participant’s
benefit the Restricted Stock Units, both vested and unvested. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in Section 4.2 and/or Section
12.2 of the Plan and/or pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement which represents the grant of the Restricted Stock Units,
the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account shall be equitably and appropriately adjusted as provided in that
Section and/or in the Award Agreement. Following vesting of Restricted Stock Units, the Shares represented thereby will continue
to be credited to the Account until payment is made to the Participant.

 

2.          Termination
of Employment

 

(a)         Other
Than Due to Retirement, Death, Disability or Change in Control. In the event of the Participant’s termination of
employment from the Company and its Subsidiaries, other than as a result of Retirement, death, Disability or Change in Control
of the Company, the Restricted Stock Units that were not vested on the date of such termination of employment shall be immediately
forfeited.

 

(b)         Retirement.
In the event of the Participant’s Retirement at least 12 months after the Grant Date (or if the Participant elects to defer
receipt of Shares subject to the Award, then at least 12 months after the date of the Participant’s deferral election) but
prior to the end of the [TSR Measurement Period] [other measurement period as may be determined by the Committee], the Restricted
Stock Units that would have become vested at the end of the [TSR Measurement Period] [other measurement period as may be determined
by the Committee] pursuant to the Award Agreement had the Participant remained in employment shall vest, if at all, at the end
of the [TSR Measurement Period] [other measurement period as may be determined by the Committee] in such number as determined by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months elapsed from the beginning of the [TSR Measurement Period] [other
measurement period as may be determined by the Committee] to the date of the Participant’s Retirement, and the denominator
of which is the number of months in the [TSR Measurement Period] [other measurement period as may be determined by the Committee].
For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean termination of employment after attainment of age [62].

 

(c)         Death
or Disability. In the event of the Participant’s death or Disability while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary
at least 12 months after the Grant Date (or if the Participant elects to defer receipt of Shares subject to the Award, then at
least 12 months after the date of the Participant’s deferral election) but prior to the end of the [TSR Measurement Period]
[other measurement period as may be determined by the Committee], the Restricted Stock Units that would have become vested at the
end of the TSR Measurement Period pursuant to the Award Agreement had the Participant remained in employment shall vest, if at
all, at the end of the [TSR Measurement Period] [other measurement period as may be determined by the Committee] in such number
as determined by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months elapsed from the beginning of the [TSR Measurement
Period] [other measurement period as may be determined by the Committee] to the date of the Participant’s death or Disability,
and the denominator of which is the number of months in the [TSR Measurement Period] [other measurement period as may be determined
by the Committee]. For purposes of this Agreement “Disability” shall mean that the Participant is unable to engage
in substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result
in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. The Committee may require such proof of
Disability as the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion deems appropriate and the Committee's determination as to whether
the Participant is disabled shall be final and binding on all parties concerned.

3.          Change
in Control

 

(a)         Vesting
of Restricted Stock Units. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company (or any Subsidiary for whom the Participant
is performing services at the time of the Change in Control) in which the successor company does not assume or substitute for the
Restricted Stock Units on substantially the same terms and conditions (which may include payment in shares of the common stock
of the successor company), all of such Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested, provided the Participant is then employed
by the Company or a Subsidiary. If the successor company in a Change in Control does assume or substitute for the Restricted Stock
Units credited to the Account on substantially the same terms and conditions (which may include payment in shares of the common
stock of the successor company) and within 24 months thereafter the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company
without Cause, all of such Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested.

 

(b)         Cause.
For purposes of this Section “Cause” shall mean (i) the conviction of the Participant of, or plea of nolo contendere
by the Participant to, a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (ii) the indictment of the Participant for a felony or
misdemeanor involving moral turpitude under the federal securities laws; (iii) the willful misconduct or gross negligence by the
Participant resulting in material harm to the Company; (iv) the willful breach by the Participant of the Participant’s duties
or responsibilities; or (v) fraud, embezzlement, theft or dishonesty by the Participant against the Company or any Subsidiary,
or willful violation by the Participant of a policy or procedure of the Company, resulting in any case in material harm to the
Company

 

4.          Payment
of Restricted Stock Units.

 

(a)         Payment
at Vesting. Unless payment is deferred in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, the Company shall make a payment
to the Participant of the vested Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account within thirty (30) days after the date the Restricted
Stock Units vest.

 

(b)         Initial
Deferral Election. The Participant may elect to defer payment of 100% of the Restricted Stock Units represented by the
applicable Award Agreement by completing an Initial Deferral Election Form, as may be prescribed by the Company. The new payment
date shall be a specified number of years after vesting or a separation of service (as defined in the regulations issued under
section 409A of the Code) from the Company and its subsidiaries. The Initial Deferral Election Form must be delivered to the Company
within thirty (30) days of the Grant Date, and except as otherwise provided herein, any deferral election is irrevocable. Such
deferral election shall only be effective if no Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may vest until after the Participant has
performed at least 12 months of service following the Grant Date (or if the Participant elects to defer receipt of Shares subject
to the Award, then at least 12 months after the date of the Participant’s deferral election). The applicable 12-month requirement
shall be deemed to be satisfied even though these Terms and Conditions provide that vesting may be accelerated to a date within
the applicable 12-month period in the event of the Participant’s death or Disability.

 

    	 	- 5 -	 

     

    

 

(c)         Later
Deferrals or Redeferrals. Regardless of whether a Participant has made an initial deferral election under (b) above, the
Participant may elect, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Company, to defer any payment date by written election provided
to the Company at least twelve (12) months prior to the payment date; provided that any new payment date must be at least five
(5) years after the previously applicable payment date. Any new payment date shall be a specified time or a specified number of
years after vesting.

 

(d)         Dividends.
If the Participant elects to defer the payment date for any Restricted Stock Units that become vested, then on each date after
vesting that cash dividends are paid on the Shares, the Company will credit the Account in its discretion either with cash in the
amount of such dividends or with a number of additional Restricted Stock Units equal to the result of dividing (i) the product
of the total number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account on the record date for such dividend and the per Share amount
of such dividend by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date such dividend is paid by the Company to its shareholders.

 

(e)         Acceleration
of Payment. Notwithstanding any election made in accordance with this Section 4 to defer payment of the Restricted Stock
Units, the following events shall result in the acceleration of payment:

 

(i)          Upon
the death of a Participant, the vested portion of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s beneficiary
in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 by the end of the calendar year of the Participant’s death or, if later, within
2 1⁄2 months after the Participant’s death.

 

(ii)         Upon
the Disability of a Participant, the vested portion of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant by the
end of the calendar year of the Participant’s Disability or, if later, within 2 1⁄2 months after the Participant’s
Disability.

 

(iii)        Upon
the occurrence of a Section 409A Change in Control (as defined in Appendix A): (A) payment of Restricted Stock Units that vest
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3(a) shall be made in Shares (or, if applicable, in shares of the common stock of the
successor company), within 30 days after the earlier of (x) the date of the Change in Control if such Change in Control is also
a Section 409A Change in Control, or (y) the date of the Participant’s separation of service from the Company and its Subsidiaries
for any reason; (B) payment of Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to the second sentence of Section 3(a) shall be made in
Shares (or, if applicable, in shares of the common stock of the successor company) within 30 days after the termination of employment
referred to in such sentence; and (C) payment of the Restricted Stock Units in the Account that vested prior to the date of the
409A Change in Control shall be accelerated to the date of such Section 409A Change in Control and paid within 30 days in Shares
(or, if applicable, in shares of the common stock of the successor company).

 

    	 	- 6 -	 

     

    

 

5.          Form
of Payment. Payments pursuant to Section 4 shall be made in Shares equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units
credited to the Account and cash with respect to any accrued dividends that the Company elected to pay in cash..

 

6.          Beneficiary.
In the event of the Participant’s death prior to payment of the Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account, payment shall
be made to the last beneficiary designated in writing that is received by the Company prior to the Participant’s death or,
if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, such payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate.

 

7.          Source
of Payments. The Participant’s right to receive payment under this Agreement shall be an unfunded entitlement and
shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. The Participant has only the status of a general unsecured
creditor hereunder, and this Agreement constitutes only a promise by the Company to pay the value of the Account on the payment
date.

 

8.          Forfeiture
upon Fraud or Misconduct. In the event that the members of the Company’s Board of Directors who are considered “independent”
for purposes of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market determine that the Participant perpetuated or participated in
any fraud or misconduct that caused the Restricted Stock Units to vest and/or be adjusted and that such vesting or adjustment would
not have occurred but for such fraud or misconduct, then (A) the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited effective as of the
date on which the Participant first engaged in such fraud or misconduct, and (B) the Participant shall within ten (10) days after
written notice from the Company return to the Company any Shares and dividends paid by the Company to the Participant with respect
to the Restricted Stock Units and, if the Participant has previously sold all or a portion of the Shares paid to the Participant
by the Company, the Participant shall pay the proceeds of such sale to the Company.

 

9.          Nontransferability.
Except as otherwise permitted under the Plan, no Restricted Stock Units shall be assignable or transferable by the Participant
or by the Company (other than to successors of the Company) and no amounts payable under this Agreement, or any rights therein,
shall be subject in any manner to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, levy, lien, attachment,
garnishment, debt or other charge or disposition of any kind.

 

10.       Withholding.
The Participant shall pay to the Company, or make satisfactory arrangement with the Company for payment of, any federal, state
or local taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld in respect of the payment of the Restricted Stock Units. The Company may
withhold from Participant’s wages or other remuneration the applicable taxes. At the discretion of the Company, the applicable
taxes may be withheld in kind from the Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant on the payment of the Restricted Stock Units.

 

    	 	- 7 -	 

     

    

 

12.       No
Rights of a Stockholder. The Participant shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject
to the Restricted Stock Units until such Shares have been issued.

 

13.       Notices.

Participant’s service as an Employee.

19.       Compliance
with Section 409A of the Code. 

 

(a)        Automatic
Delay of Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms and Conditions, the applicable Award Agreement
and/or the Plan, if the Company determines that as of the date of payment the Participant is a "specified employee" (as
such term is defined under Section 409A of the Code), any Shares (or shares of the common stock of the successor company in the
event of a Change in Control) payable by reason of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries

taxes under Section 409A of the Code).

 

(b)        General.

in accordance with such intent. Payment of the Award shall be made in a manner that will comply with section 409A of the Code,
including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto, as determined by the Committee. Any provision of the Award
that would cause the payment or settlement thereof to fail to satisfy section 409A of the Code shall be amended to comply with
section 409A of the Code on a timely basis, which may be made on a retroactive basis, in accordance with regulations and other
guidance issued under section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation that the payments
and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for
all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

 

(c)        No
Impact on Other Benefits. The value of this Award is not part of the Participant’s normal or expected compensation for
purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance, or similar employee benefit.

 

20.       Severability.

invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall (i) be deemed limited to
the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as so limited shall remain in
full force and effect, and (ii) not affect any other provision of the Award or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full
force and effect.

APPENDIX A

 

“Section 409A Change in Control”
means and shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the first to occur of the following events:

 

(a)        Any
Person or Group acquires stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50%
of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company. However, if any Person or Group is considered
to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional
stock by the same Person or Group is not considered to cause a Section 409A Change in Control. An increase in the percentage of
stock owned by any Person or Group as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property
will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this subsection. This subsection applies only when there is a transfer
of stock of the Company (or issuance of stock of the Company) and stock in the Company remains outstanding after the transaction;

 

(b)        Any
Person or Group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such
Person or Group) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 35% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company.
However, if any Person or Group is considered to own 35% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition
of additional stock by the same Person or Group is not considered to cause a Section 409A Change in Control;

 

(c)        A
majority of members of the Company’s Board is replaced during any 12-month period by Participants whose appointment or election
is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’s Board prior to the date of the appointment or election; or

 

(d)        Any
Person or Group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such
Person or Group) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross
fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose,
gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined
without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. However, no Section 409A Change in Control shall be deemed to occur
under this subsection (d) as a result of a transfer to:

 

(i)         A
shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock;

 

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

 

(iii)       A
Person or Group that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock
of the Company; or

 

    	 	- 1 -	 

     

    

 

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

 

For these purposes, the term “Person”
shall mean an individual, Company, association, joint stock company, business trust or other similar organization, partnership,
limited liability company, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization or government or agency, instrumentality or political
subdivision thereof. The term “Group” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule13d-5 of the Securities Exchange Commission,
modified to the extent necessary to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B). Determination of a Section 409A
Change in Control shall always be made in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

ESCALADE, INCORPORATED 2017 INCENTIVE
PLAN

Terms and Conditions of Restricted
Stock Unit Award

 

1.           Account.
The Company shall credit to a bookkeeping account (the “Account”) maintained by the Company for the Participant’s
benefit the Restricted Stock Units, both vested and unvested. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in Section 4.2 and/or Section
12.2 of the Plan and/or pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement which represents the grant of the Restricted Stock Units,
the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account shall be equitably and appropriately adjusted as provided in that
Section and/or in the Award Agreement. Following vesting of Restricted Stock Units, the Shares represented thereby will continue
to be credited to the Account until payment is made to the Participant.

 

2.           Termination
of Service as a Director

 

(a)          Other
Than Due to Retirement, Death, Disability or Change in Control. In the event of the Participant’s termination of
service as a director of the Company, other than as a result of Retirement, death, Disability or Change in Control of the Company,
the Restricted Stock Units that were not vested on the date of such termination of employment shall be immediately forfeited.

 

(b)          Retirement.
In the event of the Participant’s Retirement at least 12 months after the Grant Date (or if the Participant elects to defer
receipt of Shares subject to the Award, then at least 12 months after the date of the Participant’s deferral election) but
prior to the end of the Time Vesting Period, the Restricted Stock Units that would have become vested at the end of the Time Vesting
Period pursuant to the Award Agreement had the Participant remained in service shall vest at the end of the Time Vesting Period
in such number as determined by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months elapsed from the beginning of
the Time Vesting Period to the date of the Participant’s Retirement, and the denominator of which is the number of months
in the Time Vesting Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean completion of service on the Company’s
Board of Directors.

 

(c)          Death
or Disability. In the event of the Participant’s death or Disability while serving as a director of the Company at
least 12 months after the Grant Date (or if the Participant elects to defer receipt of Shares subject to the Award, then at least
12 months after the date of the Participant’s deferral election) but prior to the end of the Time Vesting Period, the Restricted
Stock Units that would have become vested at the end of the Time Vesting Period pursuant to the Award Agreement had the Participant
remained in service shall vest at the end of the Time Vesting Period in such number as determined by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the number of whole months elapsed from the beginning of the Time Vesting Period to the date of the Participant’s
death or Disability, and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Time Vesting Period. For purposes of this Agreement
“Disability” shall mean that the Participant is unable to serve as a director by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not
less than 12 months. The Committee may require such proof of Disability as the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion deems
appropriate and the Committee's determination as to whether the Participant is disabled shall be final and binding on all parties
concerned.

3.           Change
in Control

 

(a)          Vesting
of Restricted Stock Units. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company in which the successor company does not assume
or substitute for the Restricted Stock Units on substantially the same terms and conditions (which may include payment in shares
of the common stock of the successor company), all of such Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested, provided the Participant
is then serving as a director of the Company. If the successor company in a Change in Control does assume or substitute for the
Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account on substantially the same terms and conditions (which may include payment in shares
of the common stock of the successor company) and within 24 months thereafter the Participant’s service as a director of
the Company or the successor company is terminated without Cause by the Company or the successor company, all of such Restricted
Stock Units shall become fully vested.

 

(b)          Cause.
For purposes of this Section “Cause” shall mean (i) the conviction of the Participant of, or plea of nolo contendere
by the Participant to, a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (ii) the indictment of the Participant for a felony or
misdemeanor involving moral turpitude under the federal securities laws; (iii) the willful misconduct or gross negligence by the
Participant resulting in material harm to the Company; (iv) the willful breach by the Participant of the Participant’s duties
or responsibilities as a director; or (v) fraud, embezzlement, theft or dishonesty by the Participant against the Company or any
Subsidiary, or willful violation by the Participant of a policy or procedure of the Company, resulting in any case in material
harm to the Company

 

4.           Payment
of Restricted Stock Units.

 

(a)          Payment
at Vesting. Unless payment is deferred in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, the Company shall make a payment
to the Participant of the vested Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account within thirty (30) days after the date the Restricted
Stock Units vest.

 

(b)          Initial
Deferral Election. The Participant may elect to defer payment of 100% of the Restricted Stock Units represented by the
applicable Award Agreement by completing an Initial Deferral Election Form, as may be prescribed by the Company. The new payment
date shall be a specified number of years after vesting or a separation of service (as defined in the regulations issued under
section 409A of the Code) from the Company and its subsidiaries. The Initial Deferral Election Form must be delivered to the Company
within thirty (30) days of the Grant Date, and except as otherwise provided herein, any deferral election is irrevocable. Such
deferral election shall only be effective if no Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may vest until after the Participant has
performed at least 12 months of service following the Grant Date (or if the Participant elects to defer receipt of Shares subject
to the Award, then at least 12 months after the date of the Participant’s deferral election). The applicable 12-month requirement
shall be deemed to be satisfied even though these Terms and Conditions provide that vesting may be accelerated to a date within
the applicable 12-month period in the event of the Participant’s death or Disability.

 

    	 	 - 4 -	 

     

    

 

(c)          Later
Deferrals or Redeferrals. Regardless of whether a Participant has made an initial deferral election under (b) above, the
Participant may elect, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Company, to defer any payment date by written election provided
to the Company at least twelve (12) months prior to the payment date; provided that any new payment date must be at least five
(5) years after the previously applicable payment date. Any new payment date shall be a specified time or a specified number of
years after vesting.

 

(d)          Dividends.
If the Participant elects to defer the payment date for any Restricted Stock Units that become vested, then on each date after
vesting that cash dividends are paid on the Shares, the Company will credit the Account in its discretion either with cash in the
amount of such dividends or with a number of additional Restricted Stock Units equal to the result of dividing (i) the product
of the total number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account on the record date for such dividend and the per Share amount
of such dividend by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date such dividend is paid by the Company to its shareholders.

 

(e)          Acceleration
of Payment. Notwithstanding any election made in accordance with this Section 4 to defer payment of the Restricted Stock
Units, the following events shall result in the acceleration of payment:

 

(i)          Upon
the death of a Participant, the vested portion of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s beneficiary
in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 by the end of the calendar year of the Participant’s death or, if later, within
2 1⁄2 months after the Participant’s death.

 

(ii)         Upon
the Disability of a Participant, the vested portion of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant by the
end of the calendar year of the Participant’s Disability or, if later, within 2 1⁄2 months after the Participant’s
Disability.

 

(iii)        Upon
the occurrence of a Section 409A Change in Control (as defined in Appendix A): (A) payment of Restricted Stock Units that vest
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3(a) shall be made in Shares (or, if applicable, in shares of the common stock of the
successor company), within 30 days after the earlier of (x) the date of the Change in Control if such Change in Control is also
a Section 409A Change in Control, or (y) the date of the Participant’s termination of service as a director of the Company
for any reason; (B) payment of Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to the second sentence of Section 3(a) shall be made in
Shares (or, if applicable, in shares of the common stock of the successor company) within 30 days after the termination of service
as a director of the Company referred to in such sentence; and (C) payment of the Restricted Stock Units in the Account that vested
prior to the date of the 409A Change in Control shall be accelerated to the date of such Section 409A Change in Control and paid
within 30 days in Shares (or, if applicable, in shares of the common stock of the successor company).

 

    	 	 - 5 -	 

     

    

 

5.           Form
of Payment. Payments pursuant to Section 4 shall be made in Shares equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units
credited to the Account and cash with respect to any accrued dividends that the Company elected to pay in cash.

 

6.           Beneficiary.
In the event of the Participant’s death prior to payment of the Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account, payment shall
be made to the last beneficiary designated in writing that is received by the Company prior to the Participant’s death or,
if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, such payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate.

 

7.           Source
of Payments. The Participant’s right to receive payment under this Agreement shall be an unfunded entitlement and
shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. The Participant has only the status of a general unsecured
creditor hereunder, and this Agreement constitutes only a promise by the Company to pay the value of the Account on the payment
date.

 

8.           Forfeiture
upon Fraud or Misconduct. In the event that the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, excluding the Participant,
who are considered “independent” for purposes of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market determine that the
Participant perpetuated or participated in any fraud or misconduct that caused the Restricted Stock Units to vest and/or be adjusted
and that such vesting or adjustment would not have occurred but for such fraud or misconduct, then (A) the Restricted Stock Units
shall be forfeited effective as of the date on which the Participant first engaged in such fraud or misconduct, and (B) the Participant
shall within ten (10) days after written notice from the Company return to the Company any Shares and dividends paid by the Company
to the Participant with respect to the Restricted Stock Units and, if the Participant has previously sold all or a portion of the
Shares paid to the Participant by the Company, the Participant shall pay the proceeds of such sale to the Company.

 

9.           Nontransferability.
Except as otherwise permitted under the Plan, no Restricted Stock Units shall be assignable or transferable by the Participant
or by the Company (other than to successors of the Company) and no amounts payable under this Agreement, or any rights therein,
shall be subject in any manner to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, levy, lien, attachment,
garnishment, debt or other charge or disposition of any kind.

 

10.          Withholding.
The Participant shall pay to the Company, or make satisfactory arrangement with the Company for payment of, any federal, state
or local taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld in respect of the payment of the Restricted Stock Units. The Company may
withhold from Participant’s wages or other remuneration the applicable taxes. At the discretion of the Company, the applicable
taxes may be withheld in kind from the Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant on the payment of the Restricted Stock Units.

 

12.          No
Rights of a Stockholder. The Participant shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject
to the Restricted Stock Units until such Shares have been issued.

Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Indiana, other than

Not a Contract.  Neither the Award Agreement (and the grant of Restricted Stock Units) nor these Terms and Conditions
constitutes an employment or service contract, and nothing herein or in the Award Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way
whatsoever any obligation on Participant’s part to continue as an Employee, or of the Company or a Subsidiary to continue
Participant’s service as an Employee.

Agreement; Modification. The Award Agreement, these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of the Plan constitute the

19.         Compliance
with Section 409A of the Code. 

 

(a)          Automatic
Delay of Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms and Conditions, the applicable Award Agreement
and/or the Plan, if the Company determines that as of the date of payment the Participant is a "specified employee" (as
such term is defined under Section 409A of the Code), any Shares (or shares of the common stock of the successor company in the
event of a Change in Control) payable by reason of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries
for any reason other than death or Disability will not be paid until the date that is six (6) months following the date of termination
of employment (or such earlier time permitted under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of any accelerated or additional
taxes under Section 409A of the Code).

in accordance with such intent. Payment of the Award shall be made in a manner that will comply with section 409A of the Code,
including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto, as determined by the Committee. Any provision of the Award
that would cause the payment or settlement thereof to fail to satisfy section 409A of the Code shall be amended to comply with
section 409A of the Code on a timely basis, which may be made on a retroactive basis, in accordance with regulations and other
guidance issued under section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation that the payments
and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for
all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

APPENDIX A

 

“Section 409A Change in Control”
means and shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the first to occur of the following events:

 

(a)          Any
Person or Group acquires stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50%
of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company. However, if any Person or Group is considered
to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional
stock by the same Person or Group is not considered to cause a Section 409A Change in Control. An increase in the percentage of
stock owned by any Person or Group as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property
will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this subsection. This subsection applies only when there is a transfer
of stock of the Company (or issuance of stock of the Company) and stock in the Company remains outstanding after the transaction;

 

(b)          Any
Person or Group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such
Person or Group) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 35% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company.
However, if any Person or Group is considered to own 35% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition
of additional stock by the same Person or Group is not considered to cause a Section 409A Change in Control;

 

(c)          A
majority of members of the Company’s Board is replaced during any 12-month period by Participants whose appointment or election
is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’s Board prior to the date of the appointment or election; or

 

(d)          Any
Person or Group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such
Person or Group) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross
fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose,
gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined
without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. However, no Section 409A Change in Control shall be deemed to occur
under this subsection (d) as a result of a transfer to:

 

(i)          A
shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock;

 

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

 

(iii)        A
Person or Group that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock
of the Company; or

 

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

 

    	 	- 1-	 

     

    

 

For these purposes, the term “Person” shall mean an individual, Company, association, joint
stock company, business trust or other similar organization, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, unincorporated
organization or government or agency, instrumentality or political subdivision thereof. The term “Group” shall have
the meaning set forth in Rule13d-5 of the Securities Exchange Commission, modified to the extent necessary to comply with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B). Determination of a Section 409A Change in Control shall always be made in a manner that
is consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).
