B. This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to Participant in Participant’s capacity as a non-employee Director thereunder.

1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Grant Date indicated below, Restricted Stock Units under the Plan (the “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Unit will entitle Participant to receive one share of Common Stock on the specified issuance date for that unit.


Issuance Schedule:			Unless Participant has made a timely deferral election with the Company in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code to defer the issuance of Shares to one or more designated issuance or distribution dates or events beyond the otherwise applicable settlement date (a “Deferral Election”), the Shares will be issued no later than 30 days following the Grant Date. However, if Participant has made a timely Deferral Election, then the Shares will be issued in accordance with the terms and provisions of such Deferral Election, including the applicable distribution event and method of distribution. In the event of a Change in Control, the distribution provisions of Paragraph 5 will apply.

2.Limited Transferability. Prior to actual receipt of the Shares issuable hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those Shares, including through any short sale or any acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of the underlying Shares. However, any Shares issuable hereunder but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death will be issued and delivered to Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Award, or, if none or if a beneficiary designation is not permitted by the Administrator or not valid under Applicable Laws, to Participant’s estate. Participant may also direct the Company to re-issue the stock certificates (which may be in electronic form) for any Shares issuable under the Award (including pursuant to any Deferral Election) during Participant’s lifetime to one or more designated members of Participant’s Immediate Family.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that the Award is outstanding on the record date for any dividend or other distribution, whether regular or extraordinary and whether payable in cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property, and one or more Shares subject to the Award on such record date have not been delivered as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution and do not otherwise receive such dividend or distribution (i.e., those Shares are not otherwise treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of entitlement to the dividend or distribution pursuant to state law, the terms of such distribution or otherwise), then a special book account will be established for Participant and credited with a vested phantom dividend that is equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have been paid on such Shares at the time subject to the Award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. The dividend equivalents will be distributed to Participant (in the form of additional Shares or in such other

form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances) concurrently with the issuance of the Shares to which those dividend equivalents relate. Settlement of dividend equivalents will be subject to the Company’s collection of any applicable Withholding Taxes. The Administrator will have the sole discretion to determine the dollar value of any dividend or distribution paid other than in the form of cash, and its determination will be controlling.

(a)If the Award is outstanding as of the effective date of a Change in Control, the Shares will be converted into the right to receive the same consideration per Share payable to the other stockholders of the Company upon consummation of that Change in Control, and such consideration per Share will be distributed to Participant either (i) as soon as practicable, and in all events within 30 days following the effective date of that Change in Control in the event that no Deferral Election applies to the Award or (ii) in accordance with the distribution provisions of that Deferral Election in the event that a Deferral Election applies to the Award.

(a)On each date on which one or more Shares are to be issued in accordance with this Agreement and, if applicable, Participant’s Deferral Election, the Company will issue to or on behalf of Participant a stock certificate (which may be in electronic form) for those Shares and will concurrently distribute to Participant any dividend equivalents with respect to those Shares (in the form of additional Shares or such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances), subject in each instance to the Company’s collection of any applicable Withholding Taxes.

(b)Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4, the settlement of all Restricted Stock Units issuable under the Award will be made solely in Shares. In no event, however, will any fractional Shares be issued. Accordingly, the total number of Shares to be issued pursuant to the Award (including any Shares issued in settlement of dividend equivalents) will, to the extent necessary, be rounded down to the next whole Share in order to avoid the issuance of a fractional Share.

6.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and Participant’s country or Participant’s broker’s country, if different, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., dividend equivalents) during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Participant placed before Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and Participant should speak with Participant’s personal legal advisor on this matter
