Nontransferability. During the Restricted Period and any further period prior to settlement of your RSUs, you may not sell, transfer, pledge or assign any of the RSUs or your rights relating thereto.

(b)

Time of Settlement. RSUs shall be settled promptly upon expiration of the Restricted Period without forfeiture of the RSUs (i.e., upon vesting) by delivery of one share of Common Stock for each RSU being settled; provided, however, that settlement of an RSU shall be subject to the Plan, including if applicable the six-month delay rule in the Plan pursuant to Section 409A of the Code). (Note: This rule may apply to any portion of the RSUs that vests after the time you become Retirement eligible under the Plan, and could apply in other cases as well). Settlement of RSUs or cash amounts that directly or indirectly result from Dividend Equivalents on RSUs or adjustments to RSUs shall occur at the time of settlement of, and subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to, the awarded RSU. Until shares are delivered to you in settlement of RSUs, you shall have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares issuable in settlement of the RSUs, including the right to vote the shares and receive actual dividends and other distributions on the underlying shares of Common Stock. Shares of stock issuable in settlement of RSUs shall be delivered to you upon settlement in certificated form or in such other manner as the Company may reasonably determine.

(c)

Retirement and Death. In the event of your Retirement (as that term is defined in the Plan or your death while employed by the Company prior to the end of the Restricted Period, your RSUs shall become fully vested In the event of your death prior to the delivery of shares in settlement of RSUs (not previously forfeited), shares in settlement of your RSUs shall be delivered to your estate, upon presentation to the Committee of letters testamentary or other documentation satisfactory to the Committee, and your estate shall succeed to any other rights provided hereunder in the event of your death.

(d)

Termination not for Cause/ Termination Following Change in Control. Upon termination of your employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries such that you are no longer either an employee or consultant to the Company (i) by the Company or its Subsidiaries without Cause (including, in case of a Nonemployee Director, the failure to be elected as a Nonemployee Director) or (ii) by you  for “Good Reason” as defined  below) or the Company without Cause during the two  year period following a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), the Restricted Period and all remaining restrictions shall expire and the RSUs shall be deemed fully vested;  provided that you have been continuously employed by the Company for at least two years  and you sign a general release and, where deemed applicable by the Company, a non-compete and/or a non-solicitation agreement.   For purposes of this Agreement “Good Reason” shall have the definition set forth in your employment agreement with the Company and if there is no definition in your employment agreement with the Company then “good reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events without your consent: (i) a material reduction in your base salary; (ii) a material breach by the Company of the terms of your employment agreement with the Company; (iii) a material reduction in your duties, authority and responsibilities relative to your duties, authority, and responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction; or (iv) the relocation of your principal place of employment, without your consent, in a manner that lengthens your one-way commute distance by twenty fine (25) or more miles from your then-current principal place of employment immediately prior to such relocation.

(e)

However, failure of you to return to active service with the Company or a subsidiary at the end of an approved leave of absence shall be deemed a termination of employment. During a leave of absence as defined in (ii) or (iii), although you will be considered to have been continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary and not to have had a termination of employment under this Section 2, the Committee may specify that such leave period shall not be counted in determining the period of employment for purposes of the vesting of the RSUs. In such case, the vesting dates for unvested RSUs shall be extended by the length of any such leave of absence.

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

(a)

Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or credited on RSUs (other than RSUs that, at the relevant record date, previously have been settled or forfeited) as follows, except that the Committee may specify an alternative treatment from that specified in (i), (ii), or (iii) below for any dividend or distribution:

(i)

Cash Dividends. If the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on Common Stock in the form of cash, then you will be credited with a cash amount as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution equal to the number of RSUs credited to you as of the record date for such dividend or distribution multiplied by the amount of cash actually paid as a dividend or distribution on each outstanding share of Common Stock at such payment date. Any amounts credited under this Section 4(a)(i) shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to the RSU with respect to which the amounts are credited and will be payable when the underlying RSU becomes payable. If the underlying RSU does not vest or is forfeited, any amounts credited under this Section 4(a)(i) with respect to the underlying RSU will also fail to vest and be forfeited.

(ii)

Non-Share Dividends. If the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on Common Stock in the form of property other than shares, then a number of additional RSUs shall be credited to you as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution equal to the number of RSUs credited to you as of the record date for such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Fair Market Value of such property actually paid as a dividend or distribution on each outstanding share of Common Stock at such payment date, divided by the Fair Market Value of a share at such payment date. Any RSUs credited to you under this Section 4(a)(ii) shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to the RSU with respect to which the RSUs are credited and will be payable when the underlying RSU becomes payable. If the underlying RSU does not vest or is forfeited, any RSUs credited under this Section 4(a)(ii) with respect to the underlying RSU will also fail to vest and be forfeited. You will be eligible to receive Dividend Equivalents on any RSUs credited to you under this Section 4(a)(ii).

(iii)

Common Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on Common Stock in the form of additional shares, or there occurs a forward split of Common Stock, then a number of additional RSUs shall be credited to you as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution or forward split equal to the number of RSUs credited to you as of the record date for such dividend or distribution or split multiplied by the number of additional shares actually paid as a dividend or distribution or issued in such split in respect of each outstanding share of Common Stock. Any RSUs credited to you under this Section 4(a)(iii) shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to the RSU with respect to which the RSUs are credited and will be payable when the underlying RSU becomes payable. If the underlying RSU does not vest or is forfeited, any RSUs credited under this Section 4(a)(iii) with respect to the underlying RSU will also fail to vest and be forfeited. You will be eligible to receive Dividend Equivalents on any RSUs credited to you under this Section 4(a)(iii).

(b)

The number of your RSUs and other related terms shall be appropriately adjusted, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights with respect to RSUs, to reflect any changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from any event referred to in Section 3(c) of the Plan, taking into account any RSUs credited to you in connection with such event under Section 4(a).
