 CONDITIONS TO
CLOSING 
 4.1    Seller’s Obligations. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (at Seller’s expense),
within five (5) days after the Effective Date, true, correct and complete copies of all of the due diligence items listed on Schedule “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein with respect to the Property (collectively, the
“Due Diligence Items”). Seller shall provide Purchaser with written notice at such time as Seller determines that all Due Diligence Items have been delivered to Purchaser (the “Due Diligence Delivery
Notice”). Within two (2) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Due Diligence Delivery Notice, Purchaser shall confirm in writing to Seller, if such be the case, that all Due Diligence Items have been received by
Purchaser, in which event the date that Purchaser receives the Due Diligence Delivery Notice shall be deemed to be the “Due Diligence Receipt Date” (herein so called) for all purposes of this Agreement. In the event, however,
that Purchaser determines that it has not been provided with all of the Due Diligence Items, then Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice thereof (the “Missing Due Diligence Notice”), within two (2) business
days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Due Diligence Delivery Notice, enumerating with specificity in such notice which Due Diligence Items have not been provided by Seller (the “Missing Due Diligence Items”). Within
two (2) business days following Seller’s receipt of the Missing Due Diligence Notice, Seller shall provide Purchaser with the Missing Due Diligence Items, together with written notice confirming such delivery (the “Missing Due
Diligence Delivery Notice”). Within two (2) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Missing Due Diligence Delivery Notice, accompanied by all missing Due Diligence Items, Purchaser shall confirm in

 
writing to Seller that Purchaser has received all required Due Diligence Items, in which event the date that Purchaser receives the Missing Due Diligence Delivery Notice, accompanied by all
missing Due Diligence Items, shall be deemed to be the Due Diligence Receipt Date for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser may request additional
information, documentation or materials concerning the Property from Seller at any time after the Effective Date, and Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such additional information, documentation or materials to
Purchaser, at no cost to Seller, provided it is within Seller’s possession or under its control, and further provided that the delivery or non-delivery of any such item shall in no manner extend the
Approval Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, should Seller (i) fail to timely deliver the Due Diligence Delivery Notice to Purchaser, as required above, or (ii) fail to timely deliver the Missing Due
Diligence Delivery Notice and/or the Missing Due Diligence Items to Purchaser, as required above, then the Due Diligence Receipt Date shall not occur until Purchaser so acknowledges in writing. 

4.1.1     Approval Period. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring at 5:00 p.m. Central
Time on the thirty fifth (35th) day following the Effective Date (the “Approval Period”), the following matters shall be conditions precedent to Purchaser’s
obligations under this Agreement: 
 (a)    Purchaser’s being satisfied in Purchaser’s sole
discretion that the Property is suitable for Purchaser’s intended use; and 

(b)    Purchaser’s being satisfied, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, with all of the Due
Diligence Items. 
 Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of such termination
to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Approval Period, if, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser decides not to consummate the purchase of the Property contemplated hereby. In such event, this Agreement will
terminate as of the date of such notice, and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except for such obligations which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this Agreement (the “Surviving
Obligations”). If, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser determines that it desires to consummate the purchase of the Property contemplated hereby, then Purchaser will give written notice thereof (the
“Closing Notice”) to Seller, prior to the expiration of the Approval Period. In the event that Purchaser provides Seller with the Closing Notice, then Purchaser will be deemed to have waived its termination rights under this
Section 4.1.1, and the parties will proceed to Closing, subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not give Seller the Closing Notice prior to the expiration of the Approval Period and
has not previously terminated this Agreement by written notice to Seller, then this Agreement automatically shall terminate upon the expiration of the Approval Period, and, in such event, neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder
except for the Surviving Obligations. In either of such events terminating this Agreement, immediately following written request from Purchaser to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall return all of the Earnest Money to Purchaser, without the
consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller. 

4.1.2    Title Commitment. Seller shall convey fee simple title to the Property to Purchaser at Closing, subject
only to the “Permitted Encumbrances” (defined below). Within five (5) days following the Effective Date, Seller shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, which expense shall not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00), and
deliver to Purchaser, a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) for an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”), issued by the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Title Company,
insuring good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, together with copies of all exceptions listed therein. Purchaser shall have ten (10) days following its receipt of the Title 

 
Commitment, copies of all exceptions listed therein and the “Survey” (defined below), to deliver to Seller written notice of Purchaser’s objections to title (the “Title
Objection Letter”). Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure Purchaser’s objections to title; subject, however, to Seller’s obligation to remove all “Monetary Liens” (as defined below) by Closing.
Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within five (5) days following Seller’s receipt of the Title Objection Letter concerning which title objections, if any, Seller has agreed to cure. In the event that Seller does not undertake to
cure all of the objections in the Title Objection Letter to Purchaser’s sole satisfaction (or does not timely respond to the Title Objection Letter), then Purchaser shall have the right for five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s
response to the Title Objection Letter (or five (5) days following the expiration of the period within which Seller was to so respond) to either (i) waive any title objections in writing and proceed to Closing (in which event such waived
title objections shall be deemed to be “Permitted Encumbrances”, as defined below), or (ii) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller and receive an immediate refund of the Earnest Money, without the consent or joinder of
Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller, in which event neither party hereto shall have any further obligations under this Agreement except for the Surviving Obligations. All exceptions
set forth in Schedule B of the Title Commitment which are not objected to by Purchaser (including matters initially objected to by Purchaser which objections are subsequently waived in writing), exclusive of preprinted exceptions, are herein
collectively called the “Permitted Encumbrances”. In the event that any update to the Title Commitment or Survey indicates the existence of any liens, encumbrances or other defects or exceptions (the “Unacceptable
Encumbrances”) which are not shown in the initial Title Commitment or Survey, and that are unacceptable to Purchaser, in its sole discretion, Purchaser shall, within five (5) days after receipt of any such update to the Title
Commitment or Survey, notify Seller in writing of its objection to any such Unacceptable Encumbrance (the “Unacceptable Encumbrance Notice”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no
obligation to take any steps or bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of the Unacceptable Encumbrances; provided, however, that Seller shall, prior to Closing, eliminate by paying,
bonding around or otherwise discharging in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (i) any Unacceptable Encumbrances that arise in connection with construction of the Improvements or otherwise from the actions or failures to act of
Seller, and (ii) any mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, mechanics’ liens or monetary judgments that arise from the actions or failures to act of Seller (“Monetary Liens”). In the event Seller is
unable, unwilling or for any reason fails to eliminate or modify all of the Unacceptable Encumbrances to the sole satisfaction of Purchaser (other than the Unacceptable Encumbrances and Monetary Liens required to be removed by Seller in accordance
with the preceding sentence), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller by the earliest to occur of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) five (5) days after Seller’s written notice to
Purchaser of Seller’s intent to not cure one or more of such Unacceptable Encumbrances, or (iii) ten (10) days after the Unacceptable Encumbrance Notice, in the event Seller does not timely respond thereto. Upon a termination of this
Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, (a) the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by
Seller, and (b) neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. The Title Policy to be issued to Purchaser at Closing shall contain affirmative coverage against any mechanic’s liens arising
from the Seller’s construction of the Improvements, and Seller shall satisfy all customary Title Company requirements for the issuance of such affirmative coverage, and pay any costs associated therewith. 

4.1.3    Survey. Within twenty (20) days following the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a
current as-built survey of the Property (the “Survey”), which shall be in form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and shall include the following ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey Table A
Items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6(b), 7(a), 7(b)(1), 7(c), 8, 9, 10(a), 11(b), 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20(a).    All costs and expenses relating to the Survey, including all revisions thereto, shall be borne by Seller. 

 4.2    Inspection. During the Approval Period, at any time and from
time to time during normal business hours (and thereafter through the Closing Date), Purchaser may inspect, test, and survey the Property and any and all portions thereof, including physical and mechanical inspections. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Purchaser must obtain Seller’s prior written approval of, the scope and method of any environmental testing or investigation (other than a Phase I environmental site assessment, which shall require no consent or approval of any kind), prior to
Purchaser’s commencement of such inspections or testing. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other regarding the scope, scheduling and coordination of all such inspections, tests and surveys to allow for the same to be conducted by
Purchaser, Purchaser’s agents and independent contractors in a manner that will not delay or otherwise interfere with Seller’s development of the Property. Purchaser understands that portions of the subsurface soil at the Property contain
certain pre-existing petroleum distillate materials which shall remain in place after Seller’s development of the Property, and which are not to be excavated, uncovered or otherwise disturbed. Purchaser
agrees that Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole expense, shall repair any and all damage resulting from any of the tests, studies, inspections and investigations performed by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to this
Section 4.2, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless for, from and against all claims for bodily injury or property damage which may be asserted against Seller arising out of the tests, studies,
inspections and investigations performed by Purchaser hereunder, excluding the discovery of pre-existing conditions on the Property. Prior to any entry onto the Property by Purchaser or any of its agents,
Purchaser shall furnish Seller with evidence that Purchaser maintains a policy of general liability insurance providing premises/operations coverage included under the per occurrence/general aggregate coverage, having a combined single limit
liability of not less than $1,000,000, naming Seller as an additional insured. All entries onto the Property by Purchaser shall be preceded by not less than 24 hours prior notice to and approval of Seller, both of which may be verbal.

the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation
hereunder, other than the Surviving Obligations, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Purchaser at

and liability for damage or injury occurring to the Property by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause until the Closing has been consummated. If the Property suffers any damage equal to or in excess of Two Hundred Thousand and no/100
Dollars ($200,000.00) prior to the Closing from fire or other casualty, Purchaser may, within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from Seller of such damage or injury (which notice Seller agrees to promptly provide), (a) terminate this

 DEFAULT

representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, including failure by Seller to consummate this Agreement for any reason, Purchaser shall be entitled to (i) pursue the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s obligations under

PURCHASER’S DEFAULT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL SUSTAIN IF ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE DUE TO AN EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER WHICH IS NOT CURED WITHIN THE APPLICABLE NOTICE AND CURE PERIOD. IN THE EVENT OF A
DEFAULT BY PURCHASER WHICH IS NOT CURED WITHIN THE APPLICABLE NOTICE AND CURE PERIOD, SELLER MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO PURCHASER, CANCEL THE ESCROW AND RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. SUCH RETENTION OF THE
EARNEST MONEY IS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER. SELLER WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389. FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF
THIS AGREEMENT, CANCELLATION OF THE ESCROW, AND RETENTION OF THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, PURCHASER AND SELLER SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR THE SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS AND EXCEPT THAT
PURCHASER SHALL REIMBURSE SELLER FOR THE COST OF THE SURVEY AND SHALL PAY ALL ESCROW CANCELLATION AND TITLE CHARGES IF ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE DUE TO PURCHASER’S DEFAULT. THE PARTIES HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION AND BY
THEIR SIGNATURES IMMEDIATELY BELOW AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.

event shall any such notice and cure period result in an extension of the Closing Date unless specifically indicated otherwise herein.

Exhibit 10.1

WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY
2013 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
2017 PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Pursuant to your Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and these Performance Share Unit Award Terms and Conditions, Weyerhaeuser Company has granted to you under its 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) the target number of Performance Share Unit Awards (“Awards”) indicated in your Grant Notice at the market value indicated in your Grant Notice (the “Grant”).  The Grant was made as of the date of the Compensation Committee action authorizing the Grant (the “Grant Date”).  You may decline this Grant by notifying the Compensation and Benefits Department at bened@weyerhaeuser.com within one month of the Grant Date.  If you decline this Grant, you will not be entitled to any award, benefit, or other compensation in lieu thereof.
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this document have the definitions given to such terms in the Plan.  Awards represent the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue shares of Company Common Stock to you at a future date based upon satisfaction of certain performance criteria, subject to the terms of this document and the Plan.  You have no rights to or under the Awards other than the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.  In addition, the Awards have the following terms and conditions:
1.     Earning and Vesting of Awards.  You will earn the Awards granted to you only if the Company achieves certain business targets over a three-year performance period and, except as otherwise provided in Section 3, you remain employed by the Company or Related Company through the end of the performance period.  The performance period begins on January 1 of the year the Awards are granted and ends on December 31 of the second year following the year of the Grant.  For example, for Awards granted in 2017 the performance period will be January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all Awards will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date and will be earned within a range from 0% to 150% of target performance, subject to and based upon the Compensation Committee certifying the achievement of the performance measures set forth on Appendix A hereto in accordance with the methodology provided therein.  All determinations with respect to Awards will be made by the Compensation Committee, including the determination and certification of achievement of the performance measures set forth in Appendix A and the level of Awards earned.
2.    Conversion of Awards and Issuance of Shares.  Upon vesting of Awards in accordance with Section 1, one share of Company Common Stock shall be issued for each earned Award that vests on such date (the “Shares”), subject to the terms of the Plan and this document.  The Company will subtract from the vested Shares the whole number of Shares necessary to satisfy any required Tax Withholding Obligations as described in Section 9, and transfer the balance of the vested Shares to you.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued under this Grant.  The delivery of vested Shares shall occur as soon as practicable after the vesting date specified in Section 1, but in all events by a date which is within 30 days following such date, subject to Section 3. 

3.    Termination of Employment; Death; Disability; Change in Control.  In the event of your termination of employment, death or Disability or a Change in Control while Awards are outstanding, the following vesting and payment provisions will apply.  Within 30 days following each applicable release date specified below, one share of Company Common Stock will be issued for each earned Award that is subject to release on such date in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this document, subject to any Tax Withholding Obligations as described in Section 9 and subject to Section 3(f).
(a)  Termination of Employment at Age 62.  If you terminate employment at age 62 or older (such termination being referred to herein as “retirement”), and if clause (ii) in the second paragraph of Section 3(f) is not applicable, you will be entitled to receive all or a portion of your earned Awards as set forth below, to be released on the same dates as provided for in Sections 1 and 2.  Specifically, your earned Awards will be released according to the following schedule:
i.  If your retirement occurs on or after the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, your Awards will continue to be earned and paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 and Section 2 based on actual performance results for the applicable performance period, notwithstanding your termination of employment before the vesting date.

ii.  If your retirement occurs before the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, the number of Awards will be pro-rated based on the number of months you worked after the Grant Date.  The number of Awards will be calculated by multiplying (x) the actual number of Awards earned as of the end of the three-year performance period by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months worked after the Grant Date (and before your retirement) and the denominator of which is 12.  The remaining Awards will be forfeited and no Shares will be issued or issuable with respect to such forfeited portion of the Awards.  The earned pro-rated Awards will vest and be released as provided in Sections 1 and 2 above.
(b)  Termination of Employment Due to Job Elimination.  If your employment is involuntarily terminated due to the elimination of your position with the Company or any Related Company, and if clause (ii) in the second paragraph of Section 3(f) is not applicable, your Awards will continue to vest as provided in Section 1 for one year following your termination and your earned and vested Awards will be released as provided in Section 2.  The remaining unvested portion of your Awards as of the one-year anniversary of your termination date will be forfeited and no Shares will be issued or issuable with respect to such forfeited portion of the Awards.  For example, if your termination occurs more than one year before the scheduled vesting date (i.e., the third anniversary of the Grant Date), then all Awards with respect to that performance period will be forfeited and no Shares will be issued or issuable with respect to such forfeited Awards.
(c)  Termination of Employment for Other Reasons.  If your employment is terminated before any of your Awards are earned and vest as provided in Section 1 and none of the other provisions of this Section 3 apply, any Awards that are not vested on the date of your termination are immediately forfeited and no Shares will be issued or issuable with respect to such forfeited portion of the Awards.

2

(d)  Termination of Employment for Cause.  If your employment is terminated for Cause (defined below), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including but not limited to Section 3(a), any outstanding Awards will be immediately forfeited at the time the Company or Related Company first notifies you of your termination for Cause and no Shares will be issued or issuable with respect to such forfeited Awards.  In addition, if your employment or service relationship is suspended pending an investigation of whether you will be terminated for Cause, payment of all outstanding Awards may be suspended during such period of investigation to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”).  If, at the conclusion of such investigation, your employment or service relationship is terminated for Cause, all outstanding Awards shall be immediately forfeited as provided above and you shall be required to promptly repay to the Company any Shares relating to such Awards that were previously paid to you during the period of investigation.  If any facts that would constitute termination for Cause are discovered after your termination of service, any outstanding Awards may be immediately terminated by the Compensation Committee.
“Cause”  means:  (i) willful and continued failure to perform substantially your duties with the Company or any Related Company after the Company or Related Company delivers to you written demand for substantial performance specifically identifying the manner in which you have not substantially performed your duties; (ii) conviction of a felony; or (iii) willfully engaging in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or any Related Company.
(e)  Death or Disability.  In the event of your death or Disability while actively employed, your Awards will continue to be earned and paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 and Section 2 based on actual performance results for the applicable performance period, notwithstanding your termination of employment before the vesting date.  In the event of your death, payment will be made to your estate. 
(f)  Change in Control.  If a Change in Control occurs before the end of the three-year performance period, the target performance level of the Award will be deemed to have been achieved and you will be deemed to have earned the Award at a payout percentage of 100% of target Awards.
Following a Change in Control, your earned Awards will vest as set forth in Section 1 (i.e., all Awards will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date if you remain employed on that date) and be released as set forth in Section 2, subject to the following provisions of this Section 3(f) and Section 15:  
(i) If the Awards are not assumed, converted or replaced by the successor entity to the Company, your then-outstanding earned Awards will immediately vest in full as of the effective date of the Change in Control and shall be converted to a non-forfeitable right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of the Change in Control times the number of your earned Awards.  The amount shall be accumulated with interest compounded annually from the date of the Change in Control until the payment date at a rate of 120 percent of the Federal mid-term rate (as in effect under section 1274 of the Code for the month in which the Change in Control occurs).  Payment will be made at 

3

the time specified in Section 2 that would apply absent this Section 3(f) or, if earlier, at the time of your separation from service as specified clause (ii) below. 
(ii) If you separate from service within two years following the effective date of a 409A Change in Control (defined below): 
(1) your earned Awards will immediately vest in full as of the date of your separation from service, provided that such separation is either an involuntary separation by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in Section 3(d)) or a voluntary separation by you for Good Reason (as defined below); and 
(2) your earned Awards, to the extent vested (or, in the case of a retirement, that will vest following retirement), shall be released (or paid) as of the date of your separation from service.  
For purposes of this Section 3(f), a separation from service by the Company includes a separation from service by any Related Company and any successor entity, and a “409A Change in Control” means a Change in Control that qualifies as a “change in control event” for purposes of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(5). 
“Good Reason” means, without your express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:
i.  a material reduction in your authority, duties, or responsibilities existing immediately prior to the Change in Control;
ii.  within two years following a Change in Control, the Company’s requiring you to be based at a location that is at least 50 miles farther from your primary residence immediately prior to a Change in Control than is such residence from the Company’s headquarters immediately prior to a Change in Control, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with your business obligations as of the Grant Date;
iii.  a material reduction by the Company of your base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;
iv.  a material reduction in the benefits coverage in the aggregate provided to you immediately prior to the Change in Control; provided, however, that reductions in the level of benefits coverage will not be deemed to be “Good Reason” if your overall benefits coverage is substantially consistent with the average level of benefits coverage of other executives who have positions commensurate with your position at the acquiring company; or
v.  a material reduction in your level of participation, including your target-level opportunities, in any of the Company’s short- and/or long-term incentive compensation plans in which you participate as of the Grant Date (for this purpose a material reduction shall be deemed to have occurred if the aggregate “incentive opportunities” are reduced by 10% or more), or a material increase in the relative difficulty of the measures used to determine the payouts under such plans; provided, however, that reductions in the levels of participation or increase in relative difficulty of payout measures will not be deemed to be “Good Reason” if your reduced level of

4

participation or difficulty of measures in each such program remains substantially consistent with the level of participation or difficulty of the measures of some or all other executives who have positions commensurate with your position at the acquiring company.
In no event will your resignation be for Good Reason unless:  (A) an event set forth above has occurred and you provide the Company with written notice thereof within 30 days after you have knowledge of the occurrence or existence of such event, which notice specifically identifies the event that you believe constitutes Good Reason; (B) the Company fails to correct the event so identified in all material respects within 30 days after receipt of such notice; and (C) your resignation occurs within two years after the occurrence of such event. 
4.    Dividends.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this document, you will not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to any outstanding Awards.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company declares and pays dividends on Common Stock during the time period when Awards are outstanding, you will be credited with additional amounts for each Award equal to the dividend that would have been paid with respect to such Award if it had been an actual share of Common Stock, which amount shall remain subject to any restrictions (and as determined by the Administrator may be reinvested in Awards or may be accrued as cash with or without interest) and shall vest and be paid concurrently with the vesting and payment of the Awards upon which such dividend equivalent amounts were paid based on actual performance results.
5.    No Rights as Shareholder until Vesting and Issuance of Shares.  You will not have any voting or any other rights as a shareholder of the Common Stock with respect to the outstanding Awards.  Upon vesting of the Awards and issuance of shares of Common Stock, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
6.    Securities Law Compliance.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this document, you may not sell the Shares acquired upon vesting and issuance of the Awards unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, if such Shares are not then so registered, such sale is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The sale of such Shares must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Shares and you may not sell the Shares if the Company determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
7.    Non-Transferability of Awards.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this document, you may not sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer or dispose of your Awards in any manner prior to the distribution to you of shares of Company common stock in respect of such Awards.  Awards shall not be subject to execution, attachment or other process.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Section 3(e), Shares may be issued to your estate in the event of your death.
8.    Independent Tax Advice.  Determining the actual tax consequences of receiving or disposing of the Awards and Shares may be complicated.  These tax consequences will depend, in part, on your specific situation and also may depend on the resolution of

5

currently uncertain tax law and other variables not within the control of the Company.  You should consult a competent and independent tax advisor for a full understanding of the specific tax consequences to you of receiving or disposing of Awards and Shares.  You are encouraged to consult with a competent tax advisor independent of the Company to obtain tax advice concerning the receipt, vesting or disposition of the Awards or Shares in light of your specific situation.
9.    Taxes and Withholding.  You are ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Awards, including federal, state, local, FICA, or foreign taxes of any kind required by law, regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Awards.  The Company makes no representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the Grant or vesting of the Awards or the subsequent sale of Shares issuable pursuant to the Awards.  The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Awards to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
When an event occurs in connection with the Awards (e.g., vesting) that the Company determines results in any domestic or foreign tax withholding obligation, whether national, federal, state or local, including any social tax obligation (a “Tax Withholding Obligation”), to the extent required by law, and to the extent permitted by Section 409A, the Company may retain without notice from Shares issuable under the Awards or from salary or other amounts payable to you, whole Shares or cash having a value sufficient to satisfy your Tax Withholding Obligation.  
The Company may refuse to issue any Shares to you until your Tax Withholding Obligation is satisfied.  You should be aware that, in accordance with the Plan, a delay in satisfying your Tax Withholding Obligation could cause a forfeiture of the Shares.
10.    Grant Not an Employment or Service Contract.  Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan will be deemed to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer any right for you to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Related Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Related Company to terminate your employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.
11.    No Right to Damages.  You will have no right to bring a claim or to receive damages if any portion of the Grant is forfeited.  The loss of existing or potential profit in Awards will not constitute an element of damages in the event of your termination of service for any reason even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company or a Related Company to you.
12.    Binding Effect.  The terms and conditions of this Grant will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and be binding upon you and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
13.    Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item of Compensation.  (a) All Awards under the Plan are discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.  (b) Each Grant is a one-time benefit that does not

6

create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards.  (c) All determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when grants will be made, the number of Awards subject to each grant, the grant price, vesting and other terms applicable to the grant, and the time or times when each grant will be exercisable, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.  (d) Your participation in the Plan is voluntary.  (e) The value of the Grant is an extraordinary item of compensation that is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any.  (f) The Grant is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.  (g) Except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the terms and conditions of this Grant, the vesting of the Grant ceases upon your termination of employment for any reason and any unvested Awards will be forfeited.  (h) The future value of the Shares underlying the Grant is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.  (i) The Compensation Committee (or Board of Directors) may determine that Grants to you are subject to a formula-based maximum award amount intended to qualify your Awards as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  In that case, your Awards shall be subject to the Section 162(m) provisions set forth in Section 15 of the Plan and shall not exceed the maximum amounts applicable under such Section 162(m) provisions.
14.    Employee Data Privacy.  By accepting this Grant, you:  (a) authorize the Company (and your employer, if different, and any agent of the Company administering the Plan or providing Plan recordkeeping services) to disclose to the Company or any of its affiliates, and their respective agents in connection with administering the Plan, any information and data the Company requests (including personal data) in order to facilitate the grant of the Award and the administration of the Plan; (b) agree that the Company (and your employer, if different, and any of their respective agents in connection with administering the Plan) may act as a data controller and/or data processor with respect to such information and data and waive to the maximum extent permissible by law any data privacy rights you may have with respect to such information and data; and (c) authorize the Company and its agents to store and transmit such information, including in electronic form, to its affiliates or agents in any country (including countries which may not provide for data protection equivalent to the United States).
15.    Compliance with Section 409A.  To the extent that the Company determines that the Awards are subject to Section 409A, these Terms and Conditions will be interpreted and administered in such a way as to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 409A to the maximum extent possible.  The term “separation from service” means a separation from service as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h) (or successor provisions). In addition, if the Awards are subject to Section 409A and you must be treated as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, any payments made on account of your separation from service for purposes of Section 409A will be made at the time specified above in these Terms and Conditions or, if later and to the extent required by Section 409A, on the date that is six months and one day following the date of your separation from service.  When the period during which payment may be made straddles two taxable years, in no event are you permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of any payment.  To the extent that the Company determines that the Awards are subject to Section 409A and fail to 

7

comply with the requirements of Section 409A, the Company reserves the right (without any obligation to do so) to amend, restructure, terminate or replace the Awards in order to cause the Awards to either not be subject to Section 409A or to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 409A.
