WHEREAS, the PSUs are subject to the Company’s attainment of the performance requirements set forth in Paragraph 7 (the “Performance Measures”) and the Participant’s remaining an employee of the Company until the end of the Performance Period, except for death, Disability or Retirement; and

1. Grant of RSUs. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the date first written above, «RSUs awarded» RSUs subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement, including the Service Restrictions, as well as subject to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan and the Administrative Rules for the RSU Program (the “RSU Rules”). The Incentive Plan and RSU Rules have been made available to the Participant and are incorporated herein as if set forth at length.

2. Provisions Restricting Sale and Imposing Forfeiture on RSUs. Each RSU represents a contract right to receive one share of Common Stock to the extent the Service Restrictions applicable to that RSU lapse under the terms of Paragraph 3 of this Award Agreement, the Incentive Plan and the RSU Rules. The Participant shall have no rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to an RSU until the Service Restrictions applicable to that RSU lapse, including, but not limited to, the receipt or accumulation of dividends. Without limiting the foregoing:

As soon as administratively practicable following the lapse of the Service Restrictions applicable to a particular installment of RSUs without a forfeiture and upon satisfaction of all other conditions as to such RSUs, including but not limited to the payment of all applicable withholding taxes, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Participant shares of Common Stock in the form of a certificate or proof of ownership representing the number of then vested RSUs which shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions and shall not bear any legend or electronic notation limiting transferability.

4. Forfeiture of RSUs. If, prior to the lapse of the Service Restrictions applicable to one or more installments of RSUs, the Participant’s employment with the Company and all of its direct or indirect subsidiaries is terminated, other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, by either party for any reason, including, but not limited to, the involuntary termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company by the Company for any reason, with or without cause:

If the Participant dies, incurs a Disability or has a Retirement, for any RSUs for which the Service Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of such death, Disability or Retirement, a number of that Participant’s unvested RSUs that would otherwise have been forfeited shall be deemed vested, separately determined by installment, when the Service Restrictions applicable to that installment would have lapsed had there been no death, Disability or Retirement, determined by multiplying the number of RSUs in each installment by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months the Participant was employed by the Company following

For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the Participant’s total and permanent disability as determined by the Committee in its discretion and “Retirement” shall mean the separation from service of the Participant with the consent of the Company when the Participant has attained at least age 55 and has at least 5 years of employment with the Company.

5. Grant of PSUs. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the date first written above, «PSUs Awarded» PSUs subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement, including the Performance Restrictions, as well as subject to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan and the Administrative Rules for the PSU Program (the “PSU Rules”).

6. Provisions Restricting Sale and Imposing Forfeiture on PSUs. Each PSU represents a contract right to receive one share of Common Stock to the extent that the Performance Restrictions applicable to that PSU lapse under the terms of Paragraph 7 of this Award Agreement, the Incentive Plan and the PSU Rules. The Participant shall have no rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to a PSU until the Performance Restrictions applicable to that PSU lapse, including, but not limited to, the receipt or accumulation of dividends. Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) Subject to the forfeiture provisions of Paragraph 8 of this Award Agreement and applicable clawback provisions, the Performance Restrictions shall lapse, if at all, to the extent the Committee determines, as soon as reasonably feasible after «Date», that the Performance Measures have been attained. If, and to the extent, the Company does not attain the Performance Measures on or before the three-year measurement period ending «Date», the Performance Restrictions shall not lapse and PSUs shall be forfeited immediately upon the completion of that three-year measurement period.

As soon as reasonably feasible after the end of the «Range of Years in Performance Period» Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the relative amount of «List of applicable operational goals» actually achieved for the «Range of Years in Performance Period» Performance Period, weighting each factor equally, then averaging the results of the factors to determine the degree to which PSUs have been earned during the «Range of Years in Performance Period» Performance Period.

In addition to the foregoing and as provided in the PSU Rules, the number of PSUs which become vested under this Award Agreement based on the Performance Measures shall be increased or decreased by the percentage (not to exceed 20% of the number of PSUs initially awarded) determined in accordance with the schedule below based on the Company’s relative TSR as compared to the TSR Group set forth on Appendix A during the «Range of Years in Performance Period» Performance Period.

No increase under this paragraph shall cause the maximum number of PSUs which become vested to exceed 150% of the initial award. In other words, the increase due to TSR shall not cause a number of PSUs in excess of Maximum to be vested.

(d) As soon as administratively practicable following the lapse of the Performance Restrictions without a forfeiture of the applicable PSUs and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable conditions as to such PSUs, including, but not limited to, the payment by the Participant of all applicable withholding taxes, if any, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Participant shares of Common Stock in the form of a certificate or proof of ownership representing the number of then vested PSUs which shall not be subject to transfer restrictions and shall not bear any legend or electronic notation limiting transferability.

If the Participant dies, has a Disability or has a Retirement, the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary) shall receive the shares of Common Stock into which the PSU are converted when, if and to the extent, the Performance Restrictions lapse under Paragraph 7, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months the Participant was employed by the Company under the Restriction Period and the denominator is thirty-six (36) months.
