Exhibit 10.1 - Overlay Plan Perf RSU

(a)Number of RSUs. The Company hereby grants to the Participant RSUs on the grant date (the "Award"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each RSU represents the right to receive a Share of Common Stock if the RSU becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company including, but not limited to, voting and dividend rights until the Participant receives Shares in settlement of the Award (or portion thereof).

(b)Target Award and Quarterly Target Award. Performance will be measured as of the last day of each calendar quarter in 2013 (each, a "Performance Goal Achievement Date"), with the first applicable Performance Goal Achievement Date being March 31, 2013. The Participant's "Target Award" for the Performance Period will be ____________ RSUs. The Participant's "Quarterly Target Award" with respect to each Performance Goal Achievement Date during the Performance Period will be 25% of the Target Award (that is, RSUs).

(a)Performance-Based Component. The Committee shall determine the portion, if any, of the Quarterly Target Award the Participant is eligible to receive as of each Performance Goal Achievement Date based on achievement of certain performance goals set forth on Appendix 1 (the "Quarterly Award"). The Participant's eligibility to receive Shares in settlement of such Quarterly Award shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Participant meeting the applicable Service-Based Component for such Quarterly Award, as described in Section 2(b). The Participant's Quarterly Award with respect to any Performance Goal Achievement Date during the Performance Period shall be equal to the number of Shares set forth on Appendix 1 corresponding to the applicable Performance Goal Achievement Percentage. The "Performance Goal Achievement Percentage" means the weighted average of the achievement percentages for each performance metric under each performance goal for the applicable calendar quarter during the Performance Period, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

The performance goals, and the performance metrics and respective Performance Goal Achievement Percentages applicable to each performance goal, shall be established in the sole discretion of the Committee and shall be furnished to the Participant no later than 20 days after the beginning of each quarter during the Performance Period, except that with respect to the Performance Goal Achievement Date of March 31, 2013, the Committee shall deliver to the Participant a summary of the performance goals, and the performance metrics and the respective Performance Goal Achievement Percentages applicable to each performance goal, no later than November 30, 2012.

The Committee shall review and certify in writing the level of attainment of the performance goals each quarter during the Performance Period, which shall be the basis for determining the applicable Quarterly Award, if any. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate or reduce the Quarterly Award payable to any Participant below that which would otherwise be payable under this Section 2(a).

(b)Service-Based Component. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3, to vest and be eligible to receive Shares in settlement of a Quarterly Award, if any, the Participant must be actively employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries on the one-year anniversary (the "Vesting Date") of the applicable Performance Goal Achievement Date. Upon the Participant's termination of employment with the Company and all of its subsidiaries, the unvested portion of the Award, and the right to be issued any Shares pursuant to the unvested portion of the Award, shall be forfeited by the Participant.

(d)Issuance of Shares. If, and at the time, the Participant's Quarterly Award vests under the terms of this Section 2, the Participant shall be issued a number of Shares equal to the Quarterly Award that has vested on such Vesting Date, without payment therefore, as full consideration for the vested Quarterly Award. Without limiting the entitlement of the Participant to Shares pursuant to a Quarterly Award that has vested, as soon as practicable following the applicable Vesting Date and, in any event, no later than the date that is two and one-half months following the last day of the calendar year in which the Vesting Date for such Quarterly Award occurs, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, either (i) cause to be delivered to the Participant a certificate evidencing such Shares (less any Shares withheld under Section 5 below) or (ii) cause its third-party record keeper to credit an account established and maintained in the Participant's name with such Shares (less any Shares withheld under Section 5 below) as evidence of the issuance of Shares pursuant to this Agreement. No fractional Shares shall be issued under this Agreement. The Quarterly Award, if any, shall be rounded to the next lowest whole number of Shares in the event that the Quarterly Award would otherwise include fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Quarterly Award in the form of (1) a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares (i) is prohibited under local law, (ii) would require the Participant or the Company to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Participant's country of residence (or country of employment, if different), or (iii) is administratively burdensome; or (2) Shares, but require the Participant to immediately sell such Shares (in which case, pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall have the authority to issue sales instructions in relation to the Shares on the Participant's behalf).

4.Restrictions on Transfer. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, the Award granted pursuant to this Agreement and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, conveyed, gifted, delivered, encumbered, discounted, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law.
