1.Grant of Performance Awards.  The Company hereby grants to the Participant the total number of restricted stock units set forth above (the “Performance Award”), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.  

2.Form of Payment and Vesting.

Notwithstanding the above, earned shares of Company Stock shall be treated as delivered on the first business day following the Vesting Date (the “Delivery Date”) provided that they are delivered on a date following the Delivery Date that is in the same calendar year as the Delivery Date or, if later, by the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following the Delivery Date.  Any portion of the Performance Award that could have been earned in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A that is not earned as of the Vesting Date, as determined by the Committee (or its designee), shall be immediately forfeited.

Exhibit 10.275

Agreement or in the Plan have been otherwise satisfied, terminated or expressly waived by the Company in writing.

4.Termination of Service; Disability 

(a)   Termination of Service for Cause.  Upon the Participant’s termination of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for Cause prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant’s Performance Award shall be forfeited as of the date of such termination of service.

(b)  Termination of Service on Account of Death.  Upon termination of the Participant’s service on account of death prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant’s Performance Award shall vest as of the date of such termination of service at target levels and shall be settled in shares of Company Stock for the benefit of the Participant’s estate no later than the end of the calendar year in which the Participant’s death occurs or, if later, by the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following the Participant’s death.

(c)  Termination of Service on Account of Voluntary Retirement with Consent of Company.  If the Participant voluntarily Retires with the consent of the Company prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant’s Performance Award shall continue to be eligible to vest in accordance with the performance-based vesting conditions set forth on Exhibit A hereto regardless of such termination of service.

(d)  Disability.  If the Participant incurs a Disability that also constitutes a “disability” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant’s Performance Award shall continue to be eligible to vest in accordance with the performance-based vesting conditions set forth on Exhibit A hereto regardless of any subsequent termination of service.

(e) Termination of Service by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason.  Upon termination of the Participant’s service with the Company and its Subsidiaries by the Company or its Subsidiaries without Cause or by the Participant for “good reason” (or any like term as defined under any employment agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary to which the Participant is a party) prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant shall vest in a prorated portion of the Performance Award (as detailed below) based upon achievement of applicable performance criteria, measured as of the date of the Participant’s termination of service, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of Participant’s service during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Performance Period. The vested portion of the Performance Award shall be settled in shares of Company Stock immediately following such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if termination of the Participant’s service occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, the 3-Year CAGR (as defined in Exhibit A) will be determined as though the date of the Participant’s termination of service is the one-year anniversary of the Date of Grant and (ii) the Committee (or such individual or individuals authorized by the Committee) may, in its discretion, exercise negative discretion to determine payout achievement.  Any portion of the Performance Award that could have been earned in accordance with the provisions of this

(f)  Termination of Service for any Other Reason.  Unless otherwise provided in an individual agreement with the Participant, if the Participant has a termination of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than the reasons enumerated in Subparagraphs (a) through (e) above, the Participant’s Performance Award as of the date of termination shall be forfeited.

Exhibit 10.275

EXHIBIT A

The Participant will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Company Stock as of the Vesting Date, equal to a multiple of the Target Performance Award based on the 3-Year CAGR (as defined below) for the Performance Period:

	
			
	3-Year CAGR
	Multiple Applicable to Target Performance Award
	Required Per Share Price 
(30-Day Avg.)

	30% and above
	3
	$[ ] or above

	20%
	2
	$[ ]

	10%
	1
	$[ ]

	Below 10%
	0
	Less than $[ ]

If the 3-Year CAGR is between 10% and 20% or is between 20% and 30%, the Participant will vest in a number of shares of Company Stock that is the mathematical linear interpolation between the number of shares of Company Stock that would vest at the defined ends of the applicable spectrum.
“3-Year CAGR” shall mean the three-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of the Company Stock, which will be determined based on the appreciation of the Per Share Price during the Performance Period, plus any dividends paid on the shares of Company Stock during the Performance Period. 
“Per Share Price” shall mean the average of the closing prices of shares of Company Stock (on the national securities exchange on which the Company Stock is principally traded) during the thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to the applicable measurement date.  

The determination of the 3-Year CAGR will be made in the sole discretion of the Committee, after the end of the Performance Period once the applicable year-end audit is available.  The Committee has discretion to accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the Participant’s Performance Award based upon the overall performance of the Company and/or the Participant or based upon any change in business conditions, provided that the exercise of such discretion would not cause a Performance Award that would otherwise be deducible as “performance-based” compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code to become non-deductible.

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Company’s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  Where the context permits, references to the Company shall include any successor to the Company.

1.Grant of Matched Performance Awards.  The Company hereby grants to the Participant the total number of restricted stock units set forth above (the “Matched Performance Award”), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.  

2.Form of Payment and Vesting.  The Matched Performance Award shall represent the right to receive the number of shares of Company Stock set forth above on the first business day following the last day of the Performance Period (the “Vesting Date”), if (a) the Committee (or such individuals or entity designated by the Committee) determines that a number of shares of Company Stock equal to the Matched Performance Award, as determined in accordance with Exhibit A hereto, has been earned, (b) except as provided in Paragraph 4 of this Award Agreement, the Participant is employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries through the Vesting Date, and (c) the Matched Performance Award has not been forfeited in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(a) of this Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, earned shares of Company Stock shall be treated as delivered on the first business day following the Vesting Date (the “Delivery Date”) provided that they are delivered on a date following the Delivery Date that is in the same calendar year as the Delivery Date or, if later, by the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following the Delivery Date.  If the Matched Performance Award is not earned in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A as of the Vesting 

Exhibit 10.276

Date, as determined by the Committee (or its designee), the Matched Performance Award shall be immediately forfeited.  

3.Restrictions.  

(a)  Additional Forfeiture Provisions.  If (i) prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant sells (or otherwise disposes of in a manner not specifically approved by the Committee) any Match Eligible Shares (as defined below) or (ii) during the six months following the Date of Grant, the Participant sells (or otherwise disposes of in a manner not specifically approved by the Committee) any shares of Company Stock, whether or not Match Eligible Shares, the Matched Performance Award shall be forfeited.  In addition, if, following the Date of Grant, the Company becomes aware that the Participant sold shares of Company Stock during the six month period prior to the Date of Grant such that, had the Company been aware of such sale prior to the Date of Grant, the Matched Performance Award would not have been granted to the Participant pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Matched Performance Award shall be forfeited.   For the avoidance of doubt, the net settlement of any previously granted equity awards to satisfy exercise price or tax withholding obligations shall not be considered a sale or other disposition of shares of Company Stock for purposes of this Award Agreement.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Match Eligible Shares” shall mean the shares of Company Stock that the Participant purchases during the Offering Period (as set forth above) for which the Participant has received a corresponding Matched Performance Award under this Agreement. 
 
(b)  Notification Requirements.  The Participant hereby agrees to notify the Company of (i) any Company Stock that the Participant sells during the six month period following the Date of Grant and (ii) any Match Eligible Shares that the Participant sells prior to the Vesting Date and the Company, in its sole discretion, has the authority to determine whether such sale results in the forfeiture of the Matched Performance Award in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement. 

(c)  Sales Restrictions.  The Matched Performance Award granted hereunder may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered, and shall be subject to a risk of forfeiture and until any additional requirements or restrictions contained in this Award Agreement or in the Plan have been otherwise satisfied, terminated or expressly waived by the Company in writing.  

4.Termination of Service; Disability.

(a)   Termination of Service For Cause.  Upon a Participant’s termination of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for Cause prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant’s Matched Performance Award shall be forfeited as of the date of such termination of service.

(b)  Termination of Service On Account of Death.  Upon termination of a Participant’s service on account of death prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant’s Matched Performance Award shall vest as of the date of such termination of service and shall be settled in 

2

Exhibit 10.276

shares of Company Stock for the benefit of the Participant’s estate no later than the end of the calendar year in which the Participant’s death occurs or, if later, by the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following the Participant’s death.

(c)  Termination of Service On Account of Voluntary Retirement with Consent of Company.  In the event of the Participant’s voluntary Retirement with the consent of the Company prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant’s Matched Performance Award shall continue to be eligible to vest in accordance with the performance-based vesting conditions set forth on Exhibit A hereto regardless of such termination of service.

(d)  Disability.  If the Participant incurs a Disability that also constitutes a “disability” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant’s Matched Performance Award shall continue to be eligible to vest in accordance with the performance-based vesting conditions set forth on Exhibit A hereto regardless of any subsequent termination of service.

(e) Termination of Service by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason.  Upon termination of the Participant’s service with the Company without Cause or by the Participant for “good reason” or any like term as defined under any employment agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary to which the Participant is a party prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant shall vest in a prorated portion of the Matched Performance Award (as detailed below) if the applicable performance criteria are achieved, measured as of the date of the Participant’s termination of service, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of Participant’s service during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Performance Period. The vested portion of the Matched Performance Award shall be settled in shares of Company Stock immediately following such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if termination of the Participant’s service occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, the 3-Year CAGR (as defined in Exhibit A) will be determined as though the date of the Participant’s termination of service is the one-year anniversary of the Date of Grant and (ii) the Committee (or such individual or individuals authorized by the Committee) may, in its discretion, exercise negative discretion to determine payout achievement.  

(f)  Termination of Service For Any Other Reason.  Unless otherwise provided in an individual agreement with the Participant, if the Participant terminates service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than the reasons enumerated in Subparagraphs (a) through (e) above, the Participant’s Matched Performance Award as of the date of termination shall be forfeited.

5.Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control prior to the Vesting Date, the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to the Matched Performance Award shall lapse and the Matched Performance Award shall be settled in shares of Company Stock immediately prior to the Change in Control if the applicable performance criteria are achieved, measured as of the date of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Change in Control occurs prior to the first anniversary of 

3

Exhibit 10.276

the Date of Grant, the 3-Year CAGR will be determined based on an assumed measurement period of one year.  If the Matched Performance Award is not earned in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5 as of the Change in Control, the Matched Performance Award shall be immediately forfeited on the date of the Change in Control.

Exhibit 10.276

EXHIBIT A

The Participant will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Company Stock as of the Vesting Date, equal to a multiple of the Matched Performance Award based on the 3-Year CAGR (as defined below) for the Performance Period:

	
			
	3-Year CAGR
	Multiple Applicable to the Matched Performance Award
	Required Per Share Price 
(30-Day Avg.)

	10% and above
	1
	$[ ]

	Below 10%
	0
	Less than $[ ]

“3-Year CAGR” shall mean the three-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of the Company Stock, which will be determined based on the appreciation of the Per Share Price during the Performance Period, plus any dividends paid on the shares of Company Stock during the Performance Period. 
“Per Share Price” shall mean the average of the closing prices of shares of Company Stock (on the national securities exchange on which the Company Stock is principally traded) during the thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to the applicable measurement date.  

The determination of the 3-Year CAGR will be made in the sole discretion of the Committee (or such individuals or entity designated by the Committee), after the end of the Performance Period once the applicable year-end audit is available.  The Committee has discretion to accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the Participant’s Matched Performance Award based upon the overall performance of the Company and/or the Participant or based upon any change in business conditions, provided that the exercise of such discretion would not cause a Matched Performance Award that would otherwise be deducible as “performance-based” compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code to become non-deductible.
