 1. Grant of Restricted Stock. Pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant                     
(            ) shares of Common Stock (the “Shares,” and this grant shall be referred to herein as the “Award”). The Shares shall vest only in accordance with the

 2. Non-Transferability. Prior to the vesting of the Shares as described in Section 3 hereof, neither the Shares nor the rights represented
thereby shall be assignable, transferable, pledged or otherwise encumbered under any circumstances. In addition, the Shares and the rights represented thereby shall not be assignable or transferable for 90 days after the date of this Agreement. Such
90 day transfer restriction shall not subject the Shares to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Any purported or attempted transfer of such Shares or such rights in contravention of this Section 2 shall be null and void and shall result in the
immediate forfeiture of the Shares. 
 3. Vesting of Shares. 
 (a) Except as provided in Section 3(b) and Section 4, the Shares subject to this Award shall vest and become fully transferable without
restriction according to the following schedule:

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of (1) a Change in Control or (2) the death or Disability of the Participant, the Shares shall
automatically vest, all restrictions on the Shares shall lapse and the Company shall deliver to Participant a certificate representing the Shares; provided, however, in no event may the vesting of any Shares held by an Participant subject to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act be accelerated until such time as the vesting would not violate Section 16(b). 
 4.
Forfeiture of Shares. If the employment of the Participant with the Company shall terminate for any reason other than death or Disability, all of the Shares which have not vested in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement
shall be forfeited and reconveyed to the Company by Participant without additional consideration and Participant shall have no further rights with respect thereto.

nor any provision hereof can be changed, modified, amended, discharged, terminated or waived orally or by any course of dealing or purported course of dealing, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the Participant and the Company. No such
agreement shall extend to or affect any provision of this Agreement not expressly changed, modified, amended, discharged, terminated or waived or impair any right consequent on such a provision. The waiver of or failure to enforce any breach of this
Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver or acquiescence in any other breach thereof. 
 6. Rights as Stockholder.
Participant shall be considered a stockholder of the Company with respect to all such Shares that have not been forfeited and shall have all rights appurtenant thereto, including the right to vote or consent to all matters that may be presented
to the stockholders and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid on such Shares. If any dividends or distributions are paid in Common Stock, such Common Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Shares with respect to which
it was paid.

the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iv) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the holders of shares of Common Stock receive securities of another corporation and/or
other property, including cash, the Committee shall either: 
 (i) cancel each Share outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or
not then vested), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant an equitable amount in cash for each Share equal to the value of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a share of Common Stock; or

 (ii) provide for the exchange of each Share outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not then vested) for an option, a
stock appreciation right or a share of restricted stock with respect to, as appropriate, some or all of the property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Award would have received in such transaction and, incident
thereto, make an equitable adjustment in the exercise price of the option or stock appreciation right, or the number of shares or amount of property subject to the option, stock appreciation right or share of restricted stock, or, if appropriate,
provide for a cash payment to the Participant in partial consideration for the exchange of the Shares.

parties hereto respecting the Shares and the matters discussed herein and this Agreement supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, whether written, oral or otherwise, relating to the Shares and such matters.

 12. No Contract of Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right with
respect to the continuation of such Participant’s employment by the Company or prohibit the Company at any time from terminating such employment or increasing or decreasing the base salary or other compensation for such Participant. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be duly executed by its duly authorized officer and said Participant has hereunto signed
