STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (RSUs)

1. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

A restricted stock unit (“RSU”) is a non-voting unit of measurement that is deemed solely for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding Share. The RSUs are used solely as a device to determine the number of Shares to eventually be issued to Participant if such RSUs vest. The RSUs shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind.

2. SETTLEMENT

(a) On or as soon as administratively practical (and within thirty (30) days) following the applicable date of vesting under the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice (a “Vesting Date”), and subject to the Participant remaining in Continuous Service through the applicable Vesting Date, the Company will deliver to Participant a number of Shares (either by delivering one or more certificates for such Shares or by entering such Shares in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its discretion) equal to the number of RSUs subject to the RSU Award that vest on the applicable Vesting Date, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items (defined below). No fractional RSUs or rights for fractional Shares shall be created pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) The Company reserves the right to issue to Participant the cash equivalent of Shares, in part or in full satisfaction of the delivery of Shares, upon vesting of the RSUs, and to the extent applicable, references in this Award Agreement to Shares issuable in connection with the RSUs will include the potential issuance of its cash equivalent pursuant to such right.

3. DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS

Unless and until such time as Shares are issued in settlement of vested RSUs, Participant will have no ownership of the Shares allocated to the RSUs, and will have no rights to vote such Shares and no rights to dividends nor any payment, payment-in-kind or any equivalent with regard to any cash or other dividends that are declared and paid on Shares.

4. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF RSUs

Except as provided in this Agreement, the RSUs and any interest therein may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or court order, and any permitted transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. In accordance with procedures established by the Committee, the Participant may make gratuitous transfers of the RSUs to trusts or other entities for estate planning purpose where Family Members (defined below) have more than fifty percent of the beneficial or voting interests of such trusts or entities. “Family Member” means the Participant’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, and any person sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee). The terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement will be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors, and assigns of Participant.

5. TERMINATION

The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of his or her RSU Award (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

(a) Cause. In the event that Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for Cause, as of the date of such termination all RSUs shall cease to vest and any outstanding RSUs and vested RSUs that have yet to settle (pursuant to Section 2 of these RSU Terms and Conditions) shall immediately be forfeited to the Company, and all rights of Participant to such RSUs will immediately terminate without payment of consideration by the Company.

(b) Other. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, in the event that Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than for Cause, as of the date of such termination all RSUs shall cease to vest and (except for any vested RSUs that have yet to settle, pursuant to Section 2 of these RSU Terms and Conditions) shall immediately be forfeited to the Company and all rights of Participant to such RSUs will immediately terminate without payment of consideration by the Company.

6. TAXES

(a) Responsibility for Taxes. By accepting this RSU Award, Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, any Affiliate that employs Participant (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account, employment tax, stamp tax or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant, including any employer liability for which the Participant is liable (the “Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSU Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the RSU Award, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement, and the receipt of any dividends, and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSU Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means described in this Section. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares, or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(b) Withholding. Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. Withholding for Tax-Related Items will be made in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan and such rules and procedures as may be established by the Committee, and in compliance with the Trading Policy, if applicable. In the event the Company or the Employer withholds more than the Tax-Related Items using one of the methods described above, Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash but will have no entitlement to the Shares sold or withheld. If the withholding obligation is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of vested Shares underlying the RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. No fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs and the Tax-Related Items thereunder.

7. CODE SECTION 409A

It is intended that the terms of the RSU Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, and this Award Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent. Payments pursuant to this RSU Award are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

8. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

This Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this grant or this Award Agreement, the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Delaware and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Delaware, or the federal courts for the United States for Delaware, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS

Except as otherwise permitted by the Plan, no modification of, or amendment to, this Award Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Award Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the parties to this Award Agreement (which may be electronic). The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Award Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

10. SEVERABILITY

If one or more provisions of this Award Agreement are held to be unenforceable under Applicable Law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (a) such provision shall be excluded from this Award Agreement, (b) the balance of this Award Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded, and (c) the balance of this Award Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

14. INSIDER TRADING/MARKET ABUSE LAWS

Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including, but not limited to, the United States, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell, or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs), or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Trading Policy. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, or Affiliates will be responsible for such restrictions or liable for the failure on Participant’s part to know and abide by such restrictions. Participant should consult with his or her own personal legal advisers to ensure compliance with local laws.
