Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.
Article I.
GENERAL
1.1Award of RSUs.  The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares or payment of any cash until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested.
1.2Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.
1.3Unsecured Promise. The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.
Article II.
VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT
1.4Vesting; Forfeiture. 
(a)The RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice. In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, all unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company.
(b)Notwithstanding anything in the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the RSUs will vest in their entirety if Participant’s Termination of Service is by involuntary termination without Cause or by voluntary resignation for Good Reason, in either case within one year following a Change in Control.
(c)As used herein, “Good Reason” means (a) in the case where there is no employment agreement, offer letter, consulting agreement, change in control agreement, or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate and Participant at the time of the grant of the Award (or where there is such agreement in effect but it does not define “good reason” (or words of like import)), (i) any action by the Company or the surviving entity following a Business Combination which results in a material reduction in Participant’s title, status, authority or responsibility, or (ii) a reduction in Participant’s annual base salary or target annual bonus, in each case without the prior written consent of Participant or (b) in the case where there is an employment agreement, offer letter, consulting agreement, change in control agreement, or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate and Participant at the time of the grant of the Award that defines “good reason” (or words of like import), “good reason” as defined under such agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any assertion by Participant of a termination for Good Reason will not be effective unless all of the following conditions are satisfied: (A)  Participant must provide written notice to the Board or the board of the surviving entity following a Business Combination of the existence of such condition(s) giving rise to Good Reason within thirty (30) days after the initial occurrence of such condition(s); (B) the condition(s) specified in such notice must remain uncorrected for thirty 

(30) days following the Board’s or the surviving entity board’s receipt of such written notice; and (C) the date of Participant’s Termination of Service must occur within sixty (60) days after the initial occurrence of the condition(s) specified in such notice. Further and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Change in Control does not and will not in and of itself constitute Good Reason.
1.5Settlement.  As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of RSUs pursuant to Section 2.1, but in no event later than 30 days after such vesting date, the Company shall deliver to Participant a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award.  All Shares issued hereunder shall be delivered either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares to Participant or by entering such shares in book-entry form, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The value of Shares shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time.
Article III.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
1.6Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
1.7Tax Withholding.  To the extent that the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award results in compensation income or wages to the Participant for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any income tax, social insurance contribution or other applicable taxes that are required to be withheld in respect of this Award, which arrangements include the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Shares (including previously owned Shares (which is not subject to any pledge or other security interest), net settlement, a broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable or delivered pursuant to this Award), other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate.  If such tax obligations are satisfied through net settlement or the surrender of previously owned Shares, the maximum number of Shares that may be so withheld (or surrendered) shall be the number of Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or surrender equal to the aggregate amount of such tax liabilities determined based on the greatest withholding rates for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment for the Company with respect to this Award, as determined by the Committee.  Any fraction of a Share required to satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash to Participant.  Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award or disposition of the underlying shares and that Participant has been advised, and hereby is advised, to consult a tax advisor.  Participant represents that Participant is in no manner relying on the Board, the Committee, the Company or an Affiliate or any of their respective managers, directors, officers, employees or authorized representatives (including attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers, lenders, prospective lenders and financial representatives) for tax advice or an assessment of such tax consequences.
Article IV.
OTHER PROVISIONS
1.8Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
 

1.9Notices.  All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

If to Participant, at Participant’s last known address on file with the Company. Any notice that is delivered personally or by overnight courier or telecopier in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to have been duly given to Participant when it is mailed by the Company or, if such notice is not mailed to Participant, upon receipt by Participant.  Any notice that is addressed and mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been given to the party to whom it is addressed at the close of business, local time of the recipient, on the fourth day after the day it is so placed in the mail.

1.10Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
1.13Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons.

1.15Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held illegal or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement.
1.16Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on 
 

the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash or the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
1.17Non-Transferability.  During the lifetime of Participant, the RSUs may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until the Shares underlying the RSUs have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed.  Neither the RSUs not any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.
1.18Legends.  If a stock certificate is issued with respect to the Shares delivered hereunder, such certificate shall bear such legend or legends as the Committee deems appropriate in order to reflect the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and to ensure compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other Applicable Laws.  If the Shares issued hereunder are held in book-entry form, then such entry will reflect that the Shares are subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
1.19No Right to Continued Service or Awards. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the service of the Company or any Affiliate or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and Participant.  The grant of the RSUs is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards in the future.  Any future Awards will be granted at the sole discretion of the Company.
1.20Satisfaction of Claims.  Any issuance or transfer of Shares or other property to Participant or Participant’s legal representative, heir, legatee or distribute, in accordance with the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of all claims of such person hereunder.
1.21Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument.

Exhibit B
Performance Criteria
This Exhibit B sets forth the performance criteria applicable to the PSUs.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, the Agreement and the Plan, the portion of the PSUs subject to this Award that become vested during the Performance Period, if any, will be determined upon the Committee’s certification of the achievement of the performance criteria in accordance with this Exhibit B, which shall occur within 60 days following the end of the Performance Period (the “Certification Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as are ascribed thereto in the Grant Notice, the Agreement or the Plan, as applicable.

The PSUs shall vest, if at all, based on the 60-Day VWAP in accordance with the schedule below:

	Less than $60	0%
	Greater than or equal to $60, but less than $100	50%
	$100 or greater	100%

For the avoidance of doubt, linear interpolation shall not apply in the event the 60-Day VWAP is between $60 and $100.
As used herein, the “60-Day VWAP” means the volume-weighted average price of a Share for the 60 consecutive trading days immediately preceding October 17, 2025 (such period, the “Performance Period”), as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar events.
