The Performance Units have been granted under the Company’s 2011 Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Grant Date: The effective date of the grant of the Performance Units described below is ______ (the “Grant Date”). Performance Units / Target Award Amount [____] Vesting: Your Performance Units have been credited to a bookkeeping account on your behalf.

Evidence of the conversion of the Performance Units into Shares will be registered on the books of the Company in your name as of the applicable Vesting Date as soon as practical thereafter.

The Performance Units eligible to vest will convert to actual Shares on the effective date of such termination of employment. Except as otherwise provided below in the context of a Change in Control or a separate agreement, if your employment is terminated for any reason other than as specified in the previous sentence, any unvested Performance Units shall be forfeited and reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by you.

Restrictions on Resale of Shares You shall not sell any Shares acquired under this Award at a time when applicable laws, Company policies (including, but not limited to, the Company’s insider trading policy and Code of Conduct) or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit such transfer. No Voting Rights or Dividends: You shall have no voting rights or dividends or distributions paid with respect to your Performance Units prior to the applicable Vesting Date.

Tax Withholding: You are responsible for payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including your FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the vesting or settlement of the Performance Units. The Company or any employer Affiliate has the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to the employer, such amounts. Subject to and in accordance with Company policies, you may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by: (i) paying cash equal in the amount required to be withheld for tax purposes; (ii) electing a cashless exercise upon the settlement of the Performance Units having a Fair Market Value on the date of the withholding equal to the amount required to be withheld for tax purposes; or (iii) as permitted by the Company, having the Company withhold Shares upon the settlement of the Performance Units having a Fair Market Value on the date of the withholding equal to the amount required to be withheld for tax purposes. Your election must be irrevocable, in writing, and submitted to the Company’s Secretary before the applicable Vesting Date. The obligations of the Company under this Award will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and, where applicable, its Affiliates will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to you.
