This instrument and the  Customizing Information are collectively referred to as the “Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.”  WITNESSETH THAT:  WHEREAS, the Company has instituted the Plan; and  WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has authorized the grant of  restricted stock units with respect to the Company’s Common Stock (“Stock”) upon the terms  and conditions set forth below and pursuant to the Plan, a copy of which is incorporated herein;  and  WHEREAS, the Recipient acknowledges that he or she has carefully read this Restricted  Stock Unit Agreement and agrees, as provided in Section 18(a) below, that the terms and  conditions of the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement reflect the entire understanding between  himself or herself and the Company regarding this restricted stock unit award (and the Recipient  has not relied upon any statement or promise other than the terms and conditions of the  Restricted Stock Unit Agreement with respect to this restricted stock unit award);  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and  agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and  adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Recipient agree as follows.  1.  Grant.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, the  Company hereby grants to the Recipient that number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) equal to  the corresponding number of shares of the Company’s Stock (the “Underlying Shares”) shown in  the Customizing Information under “Restricted Stock Units Granted.”  2.  Vesting.  (a) In General.  If the Recipient remains in an employment, contractual or  other service relationship with the Company (“Relationship”) as of a “Vesting Date,” as  specified in the Customizing Information, and the Recipient as of such date is not in  violation of any confidentiality, inventions, non-solicitation and/or non-competition  agreement with the Company, all or a portion, as applicable (the “Incremental Amount,”  as specified in the Customizing Information), of the RSUs shall vest on such date.  For  

 

      Version 4 – Restricted Stock Unit Agreement 1/5/2022  2    4879-7619-8152, v.2  the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of the Plan  and Sections 2(b), 2(c) or 2(d), if the Recipient’s Relationship with the Company is  terminated by the Company or by the Recipient for any reason, whether voluntarily or  involuntarily, no RSUs granted pursuant to this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall  vest under any circumstances on and after the date of such termination.  (b) Retirement Vesting.  Notwithstanding Section 2(a), if the Recipient’s  Relationship with the Company terminates on account of Retirement (as defined below)  on or after the sixth (6th) month anniversary of the Grant Date, the RSUs shall continue to  vest on the schedule shown in the Customizing Information, provided the Recipient  continues to comply with any confidentiality, inventions, non-solicitation and/or non- competition agreement with the Company.  (c) Death or Disability Vesting.  Notwithstanding Section 2(a), if the  Recipient’s Relationship with the Company terminates as a result of his or her disability  (as determined by the Board on the basis of medical advice satisfactory to it) or death, the  Recipient’s Vesting Date shall be the date of termination and he or she shall be fully  vested in his or her RSUs, provided the Recipient is not as of the date of delivery, or was  not as of the date of death, in violation of any confidentiality, inventions, non-solicitation  and/or non-competition agreement with the Company.  (d) Committee Discretion.  In the event the Relationship is terminated for any  reason (whether voluntary or involuntary), (i) the Recipient’s right to vest in the RSU  will, except as provided in Section 9(c) of the Plan or otherwise explicitly in Sections  2(b) or 2(c) or as provided by the Committee, terminate as of the date of the termination  of the Relationship (and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local  law) and (ii) the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the  Relationship has terminated for purposes of this RSU (including when the Recipient is no  longer considered to be providing active service while on a leave of absence).  (e) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 2, the term “Company”  refers to the Company as defined in the last sentence of Section 1 of the Plan, and the  term “Retirement” means termination of the Recipient’s Relationship with the Company  after the Recipient has attained age fifty-five (55), has five (5) Years of Credited Service  and has a combined age and Years of Credited Service of at least sixty-five (65). “Years  of Credited Service” shall mean the Recipient’s years of total adjusted service with the  Company, calculated from the Recipient’s initial hire date with the Company (or any  predecessor business acquired by the Company) and without regard to any lapses in  active employment while employed by the Company, such as approved leaves of  absences.  3.  Dividends.  A Recipient shall be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the  dividends the Recipient would have received if the Recipient had been the actual record owner of  the Underlying Shares on each dividend record date on or after the Grant Date and through the  date the Recipient receives a settlement pursuant to Section 4 below (the “Dividend  Equivalent”).  If a dividend on the Stock is payable wholly or partially in Stock, the Dividend  Equivalent representing that portion shall be in the form of additional RSUs, credited on a one- 

 

      Version 4 – Restricted Stock Unit Agreement 1/5/2022  3    4879-7619-8152, v.2  for-one basis.  If a dividend on the Stock is payable wholly or partially in cash, the Dividend  Equivalent representing that portion shall also be in the form of cash and a Recipient shall be  treated as being credited with any cash dividends, without earnings, until settlement pursuant to  Section 4 below.  If a dividend on Stock is payable wholly or partially in other than cash or  Stock, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide for such Dividend Equivalents with respect  to that portion as it deems appropriate under the circumstances.  Dividend Equivalents shall be  subject to the same terms and conditions as the RSUs originally awarded pursuant to this  Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, and they shall vest (or, if applicable, be forfeited) as if they  had been granted at the same time as the original RSU.  Dividend Equivalents representing the  cash portion of a dividend on Stock shall be settled in cash.  4.  Delivery of Underlying Shares or Cash Settlement.  With respect to any RSUs that  become vested RSUs as of a Vesting Date pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall issue and  deliver to the Recipient as soon as practicable following the applicable Vesting Date (a) the  number of Underlying Shares equal to the number of RSUs vesting on that date or an amount of  cash equal to the Fair Market Value, as defined in the Plan, of such Underlying Shares as of that  date (or such later delivery date, if applicable) and (b) the amount (and in the form) due with  respect to the Dividend Equivalents applicable to such Underlying Shares.  Whether Underlying  Shares, or the cash value thereof, shall be issued or paid at settlement shall be determined based  on the “Form of Settlement” specified in the Customizing Information.  Any shares issued pursuant to this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall be issued,  without issue or transfer tax, by (i) delivering a stock certificate or certificates for such shares out  of theretofore authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares of its Stock as the Company may  elect or (ii) issuance of shares of its Stock in book entry form; provided, however, that the time  of such delivery may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required for it  with reasonable diligence to comply with any applicable requirements of law.  Notwithstanding  the preceding provisions of this Section 4, delivery of Underlying Shares shall be made, or the  amount of cash equivalent thereto shall be paid, only if the required purchase price designated as  the “Purchase Price” shown in the Customizing Information per underlying RSU is paid to the  Company by means of payment acceptable to the Company in accordance with the terms of the  Plan.  If the Recipient fails to pay for or accept delivery of all of the shares, the right to shares of  Stock provided pursuant to this RSU may be terminated by the Company.  5.  Withholding Taxes.  The Recipient hereby agrees, as a condition of this award, to  provide to the Company (or a subsidiary employing the Recipient, as applicable) an amount  sufficient to satisfy the Company’s and/or subsidiary’s obligation to withhold any and all federal,  state, local or provincial income tax, social security, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits  tax, payment on account or other tax-related items or statutory withholdings related to the  Recipient’s participation in the Plan (the “Withholding Amount”), if any, by (a) authorizing the  Company and/or any subsidiary employing the Recipient, as applicable, to withhold the  Withholding Amount from the Recipient’s cash compensation or (b) remitting the Withholding  Amount to the Company (or a subsidiary employing the Recipient, as applicable) in cash;  provided, however, that to the extent that the Withholding Amount is not provided by one or a  combination of such methods, the Company may at its election withhold from the Underlying  

 

      Version 4 – Restricted Stock Unit Agreement 1/5/2022  4    4879-7619-8152, v.2  Shares and Dividend Equivalents that would otherwise be delivered that number of shares  (and/or cash) having a Fair Market Value on the date of vesting sufficient to eliminate any  deficiency in the Withholding Amount.  Regardless of any action that the Company and/or  subsidiary takes with respect to any or all federal, state, local or provincial income tax, social  security, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax- related items or statutory withholdings related to the Recipient’s participation in the Plan, the  Recipient acknowledges that he or she, and not the Company and/or any subsidiary, has the  ultimate liability for any such items.  Further, if the Recipient becomes subject to tax in more  than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax  withholding event, the Recipient acknowledges that the Company and/or subsidiary may be  required to withhold or account for such tax-related items in more than one jurisdiction.  6.  Non-assignability of RSUs and Dividend Equivalents.  RSUs and Dividend  Equivalents shall not be assignable or transferable by the Recipient except by will or by the laws  of descent and distribution or as permitted by the Committee in its discretion pursuant to the  terms of the Plan.  During the life of the Recipient, delivery of shares of Stock or payment of  cash as settlement of RSUs and Dividend Equivalents shall be made only to the Recipient, to a  conservator or guardian duly appointed for the Recipient by reason of the Recipient’s incapacity  or to the person appointed by the Recipient in a durable power of attorney acceptable to the  Company’s counsel.  7.  Compliance with Securities Act; Lock-Up Agreement.  The Company shall not be  obligated to sell or issue any Underlying Shares or other securities in settlement of RSUs and  Dividend Equivalents hereunder unless the shares of Stock or other securities are at that time  effectively registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state or  provincial securities laws.  In the event shares or other securities shall be issued that shall not be  so registered, the Recipient hereby represents, warrants and agrees that the Recipient will receive  such shares or other securities for investment and not with a view to their resale or distribution,  and will execute an appropriate investment letter satisfactory to the Company and its counsel.   The Recipient further hereby agrees that as a condition to the settlement of RSUs and Dividend  Equivalents, the Recipient will execute an agreement in a form acceptable to the Company to the  effect that the shares shall be subject to any underwriter’s lock-up agreement in connection with  a public offering of any securities of the Company that may from time to time apply to shares  held by officers and employees of the Company, and such agreement or a successor agreement  must be in full force and effect.  8.  Legends.  The Recipient hereby acknowledges that the stock certificate or certificates  (or entries in the case of book entry form) evidencing shares of Stock or other securities issued  pursuant to any settlement of an RSU or Dividend Equivalent hereunder may bear a legend (or  provide a restriction) setting forth the restrictions on their transferability described in Section 7  hereof, if such restrictions are then in effect.  9.  Rights as Stockholder.  The Recipient shall have no rights as a stockholder with  respect to any RSUs, Dividend Equivalents or Underlying Shares until the date of issuance of a  stock certificate (or appropriate entry is made in the case of book entry form) for Underlying  

 

      Version 4 – Restricted Stock Unit Agreement 1/5/2022  5    4879-7619-8152, v.2  Shares and any Dividend Equivalents.  Except as provided by Section 3, no adjustment shall be  made for any rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued  (or appropriate entry is made in the case of book entry form), except to the extent the Committee  so provides, pursuant to the terms of the Plan and upon such terms and conditions it may  establish.  10.  Effect Upon Employment and Performance of Services.  Nothing in this Restricted  Stock Unit Agreement or the Plan shall be construed to impose any obligation upon the  Company or any subsidiary to employ or utilize the services of the Recipient or to retain the  Recipient in its employ or to engage or retain the services of the Recipient.  11.  Time for Acceptance.  Unless the Recipient shall evidence acceptance of this  Restricted Stock Unit Agreement by electronic or other means prescribed by the Committee  within sixty (60) days after its delivery, the RSUs and Dividend Equivalents shall be null and  void (unless waived by the Committee).  12.  Right of Repayment.  In the event that the Recipient breaches any confidentiality,  inventions, non-solicitation and/or non-competition agreement with the Company, the Recipient  shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the  Underlying Shares as of the date of settlement (whether settled in cash or Stock) over the  Purchase Price, if any, paid (or deemed paid) together with the value of any Dividend  Equivalents; provided, however, that the Committee in its discretion may release the Recipient  from the requirement to make such payment, if the Committee determines that the Recipient’s  breach of such agreement is not inimical to the best interests of the Company.  In accordance  with applicable law, the Company may deduct the amount of payment due under the preceding  sentence from any compensation or other amount payable by the Company to the Recipient.  For  purposes of this Section 12, the term “Company” refers to the Company as defined in the last  sentence of Section 1 of the Plan.  13.  Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.  The RSUs and Dividend Equivalents  granted hereunder are intended to avoid the potential adverse tax consequences to the Recipient  of Section 409A of the Code and the Committee may make such modifications to this Restricted  Stock Unit Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable to avoid such adverse tax  consequences.  If and to the extent that the RSUs and Dividend Equivalents are subject to  Section 409A, in addition to the provisions of Section 12(f) of the Plan, any payment upon  termination of the Relationship shall be made only upon a “separation from service” under  Section 409A, and the Recipient may not directly or indirectly designate the calendar year of a  payment.  14.  Electronic Delivery.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any  documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.  The  Recipient 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.
