Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 29, 2018 (the "Grant Date"), the Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of CSS Industries, Inc. ("CSS" or the "Company") approved long term incentive equity grants to the Company’s named executive officers under the Company's 2013 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended. These grants consist of: (i) service-based restricted stock units ("RSUs"), (ii) performance-based RSUs with a cumulative adjusted EBITDA performance condition, and (iii) performance-based RSUs with a cumulative net sales performance condition. These awards are summarized in the table below:

Subject to service-based vesting conditions, 25% of the service-based RSUs will vest on each of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the Grant Date. Upon vesting, service-based RSUs will be converted automatically into shares of CSS common stock on a one-to-one basis.

The performance period for the performance-based RSUs is the three fiscal year period from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2021 (the "Performance Period"). Payouts, if any, under the performance-based grants will be determined by the levels of cumulative adjusted EBITDA and cumulative net sales (each a "Performance Metric"), respectively, attained by the Company during the Performance Period. Cumulative adjusted EBITDA will be measured by the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and as may be adjusted by the Committee for specified items that are extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring. Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine the level attained by the Company under each Performance Metric.

The Committee established threshold, target and maximum levels for each Performance Metric. If the threshold level for a Performance Metric is attained, then 80% of the RSUs for that Performance Metric (as reflected in the table above) will be converted automatically into shares of CSS common stock on a one-to-one basis. If the threshold level for a Performance Metric is not attained, there will be no payout under that metric. If the attained level of performance exceeds the threshold and is below the target, then the payout will be greater than 80%, depending on the extent to which the threshold is exceeded.


2



If the target level is attained for a Performance Metric, then 100% of the RSUs for that Performance Metric will be converted automatically into shares of CSS common stock on a one-to-one basis. The payout level will be greater if the target level is exceeded, up to a maximum of 200% of the RSUs granted for a Performance Metric if the maximum level for that metric is attained or exceeded.

The foregoing grants are subject to the terms of the 2013 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended, and the grant instrument forms approved by the Committee on May 29, 2018. The grant instrument forms approved by the Committee on May 29, 2018 are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 (form of grant instrument for service-based RSUs), Exhibit 99.2 (form of grant instrument for performance-based RSUs with a cumulative adjusted EBITDA performance condition), and Exhibit 99.3 (form of grant instrument for performance-based RSUs with a cumulative net sales performance condition).

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the stock units granted to the Grantee shall be issued under the CSS Industries, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and the terms and conditions of such stock units shall be memorialized in this Stock Unit Grant (the “Grant”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee ______ stock units (collectively, the “Restricted Stock Units”). Each Restricted Stock Unit (a “Unit”) shall be a phantom right and shall be equivalent to one share of Company Stock on the applicable Redemption Date (as defined below).
2.    Restricted Stock Unit Account. The Company shall establish and maintain a Restricted Stock Unit account as a bookkeeping account on its records (the “Restricted Stock Unit Account”) for the Grantee and shall record in such Restricted Stock Unit Account the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee. The Grantee shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this grant or the Restricted Stock Unit Account established for the Grantee.
3.    Vesting.
(a)Except as provided in subparagraphs (c), (d) and (e) below, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the following dates (each a “Service Date”), provided the Grantee continues to





be Employed by the Employer (as defined in the Plan) from the Date of Grant through the applicable Service Date:
Service Date
Units Vesting
____ ___, 20__
25%
____ ___, 20__
25%

25%
(b)    Except as provided in subparagraphs (c), (d) and (e) below, if at any time prior to _____ __, 20___, the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer for any reason or no reason, then all of the unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited and the Grantee shall not have any rights with respect to the vesting or the redemption of any portion of the Restricted Stock Unit.
(c)    If, on or after ____ ___, 20___ [insert first anniversary of Date of Grant], but prior to ____ __, 20___, the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of termination by the Employer following the Grantee’s Disability (as defined in the Employer’s long-term disability plan) or Retirement (as defined in the Plan), the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that have not yet vested as provided in subparagraph 3(a) above shall become fully vested on the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment on account of termination by the Employer following the Grantee’s Disability or Retirement.
(d)    If prior to ____ __, 20___, the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of death, the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that have not yet vested as provided in subparagraph 3(a) above shall become fully vested on the date of the Grantee’s death.
(e)    If at any time prior to ___ __, 20___, but while the Grantee is Employed by the Employer, a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, then if the Grantee’s employment with the Employer is terminated on, or within two (2) years following, the date of the Change of Control, by the Employer for a reason other than for Cause (as defined in the Plan) or by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined in the Company’s Change of Control Severance Pay Plan for Executive Management), the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that have not yet vested as provided in subparagraph 3(a) above shall become fully vested on the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment by the Employer for a reason other than for Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason.

Service Date (each such date, the “Redemption Date”). On the respective Redemption Date, all Restricted Stock Units that have become vested pursuant to Paragraph 3 will be redeemed and converted to an equivalent number of shares of Company Stock, and the Grantee shall receive a single sum distribution of such shares of Company Stock, which shall be issued under the Plan. For purposes of clarity, if any Restricted Stock Units become vested pursuant to subparagraph 3(c), 3(d) or 3(e) above, the Redemption Date for such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be the applicable Service Date to which such Restricted Stock Units would have been redeemed if the Grantee had remained in the employment of the Employer (i.e., the Redemption Date continues to be the originally scheduled Service Date as provided in subparagraph 3(a) above, and is not accelerated to an earlier Service Date or to the date on which the termination of employment occurs).
5.    Change of Control. The provisions set forth in the Plan applicable to a Change of Control shall apply to the Restricted Stock Units, and, in the event of a Change of Control, in addition to Paragraph 3(d) above, the Committee may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan and is consistent with the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), if applicable.
6.    Acknowledgment by Grantee. By accepting this Grant, the Grantee acknowledges that with respect to any right to redemption pursuant to this Grant, the Grantee is and shall be an unsecured general creditor of the Company without any preference as against other unsecured general creditors of the Company, and the Grantee hereby covenants for himself or herself, and anyone at any time claiming through or under the Grantee not to claim any such preference, and hereby disclaims and waives any such preference which may at any time be at issue, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Grantee also hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee will indemnify the Employer (as defined in the Plan) and hold the Employer free and harmless of, from and against any and all losses, damage, obligation or liability, and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith, which may be suffered or incurred on account or by reason of any act or omission of the Grantee or the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns in breach or violation of the provisions of the Plan or the agreements of the Grantee set forth herein. The Grantee also acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Grant. The Grantee further agrees to be bound by the determinations and decisions of the Committee with respect to this Grant and the Plan and the Grantee’s rights to benefits under this Grant and the Plan, and agrees that all such determinations and decisions of the Committee shall be binding on the Grantee, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under this Grant and the Plan on behalf of the Grantee.

7.    Restrictions on Issuance or Transfer of Shares of Company Stock.
(a)    The obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Company Stock upon the redemption of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the condition that if at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Company Stock upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of shares of Company Stock, the shares of Company Stock may not be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. The issuance of shares of Company Stock pursuant to this Grant is subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state having jurisdiction thereof.
(b)    As a condition to receive any shares of Company Stock on the Redemption Date, the Grantee agrees to be bound by the Company’s policies regarding the transfer of the shares of Company Stock and understands that there may be certain times during the year in which the Grantee will be prohibited from selling, transferring, pledging, donating, assigning, mortgaging, hypothecating or otherwise encumbering the shares of Company Stock.
(c)    As soon as administratively practicable following the Redemption Date, a certificate representing the shares of Company Stock that are redeemed shall be issued to the Grantee.
8.    Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This Grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. In the event of any contradiction, distinction or difference between this Grant and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Except as otherwise defined in this Grant, capitalized terms used in this Grant shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe this Grant pursuant to the terms of the Plan, its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder and the Grantee’s acceptance of this Grant is the Grantee’s agreement to be bound by the interpretations and decisions of the Committee with respect to this Grant and the Plan.

10.    No Rights to Continued Employment or Service. This Grant shall not confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained in the employment or service of the Employer and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time. The right of the Employer to terminate at will the Grantee’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.
11.    Assignment and Transfers.

Neither shall such value be considered part of the Grantee’s compensation for purposes of determining or calculating other benefits that are based on compensation, such as life insurance.
14.    Applicable Law; Entire Agreement. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this Grant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

16.    Section 409A of the Code.

In such case, redemptions made under this Grant may only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted by section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Grant would cause a conflict with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, or would cause the administration of this Grant to fail to satisfy the requirements of section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by applicable law. In no event shall the Grantee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of redemption. All redemptions pursuant to this Grant shall be deemed as a separate payment. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Grant to the contrary, the Grantee shall be solely responsible for the tax consequences of this Grant, and in no event shall the Company nor the Employer have any responsibility or liability if this Grant does not meet any applicable requirements of section 409A of the Code.

2013 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT, dated as of ___________ __, 20__ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by CSS Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) to «FirstName» «LastName» (the “Grantee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has determined to grant the Grantee stock units that will be converted to shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share, (the “Company Stock”); and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the stock units granted to the Grantee shall be issued under the CSS Industries, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and the terms and conditions of such stock units shall be memorialized in this Stock Unit Grant (the “Grant”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee _____ stock units (collectively, the “Restricted Stock Units”). The Restricted Stock Units are contingently awarded and will be earned and distributable if and only to the extent that the performance goal and other conditions set forth in this Grant are met. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall be a phantom right and shall be equivalent to one share of Company Stock on the applicable Redemption Date (as defined below). The number of Restricted Stock Units set forth above is equal to the target number of shares of Company Stock that the Grantee will earn for 100% achievement of the performance goal described in Paragraph 3 below (the “Target Award”).
2.    Restricted Stock Unit Account. The Company shall establish and maintain a Restricted Stock Unit account as a bookkeeping account on its records (the “Restricted Stock Unit Account”) for the Grantee and shall record in such Restricted Stock Unit Account the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee. The Grantee shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this grant or the Restricted Stock Unit Account established for the Grantee.
3.    Performance Goal.
(a)    Unless a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period (as defined below), the distribution of shares of Company Stock attributable to the Restricted Stock Units is contingent upon achievement of the performance goal described




in subparagraph (b) below for the Performance Period and the Grantee satisfying the continuation of employment with the Employer (as defined in the Plan) requirement described in Paragraphs 3(c) and 4 below.
(b)    The Restricted Stock Units will become earned based on the Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA (as described in subparagraph (f) below) over the Performance Period as certified by the Committee (the “Performance Goal”). The actual number of Restricted Stock Units the Grantee earns may be greater or less than the Target Award, or even zero, based on the Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA over the Performance Period, as set forth in Exhibit A.
(c)    As soon as administratively practicable following the end of the Performance Period, but not later than within seventy-five (75) days following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goal has been met and certify the number of Restricted Stock Units the Grantee has earned, if any. Except as described in Paragraph 4 below, the Grantee must be Employed by the Employer (as defined in the Plan) on the Redemption Date in order to earn the Restricted Stock Units. The date on which the Committee certifies the level of achievement of the Performance Goal is referred to as the “Certification Date”.
(d)    If a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Performance Period will end on the date of the Change of Control, the Performance Goal will be deemed achieved at the Target Level as of the date of the Change of Control, and the Restricted Stock Units at the Target Level will be earned as of the date of the Change of Control, provided that the Grantee is Employed by the Employer on the date of the Change of Control. For purposes of this Grant, the term “Change of Control” shall mean as such term is defined in the Plan, except that a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Grant unless the event constituting the Change of Control constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and its corresponding regulations.
(e)    Unless a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, if the Performance Goal is not achieved at, or in excess of, the Threshold Level at the end of the Performance Period no portion of the Restricted Stock Units may become earned, the Grantee shall not receive any shares of Company Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, and the Restricted Stock Units shall terminate.
(f)    For purposes of this Grant, the terms “Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA” and “Performance Period” shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit B.
4.    Termination of Employment.
(a)    If, at least one year after the beginning of the Performance Period, but prior to the Redemption Date, the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of termination by the Employer on account of Disability (as defined in the Employer’s long-term disability plan) or Retirement (as defined in the Plan), the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion

2



of the Restricted Stock Units, if the Performance Goal and the requirements of this Grant are met as of the last day of the Performance Period. The prorated portion will be determined as the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have been earned if the Participant had remained employed through the Redemption Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Grantee was employed by the Employer during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period. If the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of termination by the Employer on account of Disability or Retirement as provided in this subparagraph, the prorated number of Restricted Stock Units will be distributed in accordance with Paragraph 5.
(b)    If, prior to the Redemption Date, the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of death, the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units, if the Performance Goal and the requirements of this Grant are met as of the last day of the Performance Period. The prorated portion will be determined as the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have been earned if the Participant had remained employed through the Redemption Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Grantee was employed by the Employer during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period. If the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of death the prorated number of Restricted Stock Units will be distributed in accordance with Paragraph 5.
(c)    Except as provided in subparagraphs (a) or (b) above or subparagraph (d) below, if at any time prior to the Redemption Date, the Grantee’s employment with the Employer is terminated by the Employer on account of any reason or no reason or by the Grantee for any reason or no reason, all of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Grant shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Employer and the Grantee shall not have any rights with respect to the redemption of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units.
(d)    If at any time prior to the date the vested Restricted Stock Units, if any, are redeemed in accordance with Paragraph 5 the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of a termination for Cause by the Employer, all of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Grant shall be immediately forfeited and the Grantee shall not have any rights with respect to the redemption of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, irrespective of the level of achievement of the Performance Goal. In addition, if the Grantee engages in conduct that constitutes Cause after the Grantee’s employment terminates, and prior to the date on which the vested Restricted Stock Units, if any, are redeemed in accordance with Paragraph 5, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited and the Grantee shall not have any rights with respect to the redemption of any portion of such Restricted Stock Units.
5.    Redemption. The Restricted Stock Units that become earned and vested pursuant to Paragraphs 3 and 4 above shall be redeemed by the Company on the earlier to occur of (i) the June 1 that immediately follows the last day of the Performance Period, which redemption will occur within thirty (30) days of such June 1 or (ii) the date of the Change of Control. The date on which the Restricted Stock Units are redeemed pursuant to the preceding sentence is referred

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT, dated as of ___________ __, 20__ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by CSS Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) to «FirstName» «LastName» (the “Grantee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has determined to grant the Grantee stock units that will be converted to shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share, (the “Company Stock”); and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the stock units granted to the Grantee shall be issued under the CSS Industries, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and the terms and conditions of such stock units shall be memorialized in this Stock Unit Grant (the “Grant”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee _____ stock units (collectively, the “Restricted Stock Units”). The Restricted Stock Units are contingently awarded and will be earned and distributable if and only to the extent that the performance goal and other conditions set forth in this Grant are met. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall be a phantom right and shall be equivalent to one share of Company Stock on the applicable Redemption Date (as defined below). The number of Restricted Stock Units set forth above is equal to the target number of shares of Company Stock that the Grantee will earn for 100% achievement of the performance goal described in Paragraph 3 below (the “Target Award”).
2.    Restricted Stock Unit Account. The Company shall establish and maintain a Restricted Stock Unit account as a bookkeeping account on its records (the “Restricted Stock Unit Account”) for the Grantee and shall record in such Restricted Stock Unit Account the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee. The Grantee shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this grant or the Restricted Stock Unit Account established for the Grantee.
3.    Performance Goal.
(a)    Unless a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period (as defined below), the distribution of shares of Company Stock attributable to the Restricted Stock Units is contingent upon achievement of the performance goal described





in subparagraph (b) below for the Performance Period and the Grantee satisfying the continuation of employment with the Employer (as defined in the Plan) requirement described in Paragraphs 3(c) and 4 below.
(b)    The Restricted Stock Units will become earned based on the Cumulative Net Sales (as described in subparagraph (f) below) over the Performance Period as certified by the Committee (the “Performance Goal”). The actual number of Restricted Stock Units the Grantee earns may be greater or less than the Target Award, or even zero, based on the Cumulative Net Sales over the Performance Period, as set forth in Exhibit A.
(c)    As soon as administratively practicable following the end of the Performance Period, but not later than within seventy-five (75) days following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goal has been met and certify the number of Restricted Stock Units the Grantee has earned, if any. Except as described in Paragraph 4 below, the Grantee must be Employed by the Employer (as defined in the Plan) on the Redemption Date in order to earn the Restricted Stock Units. The date on which the Committee certifies the level of achievement of the Performance Goal is referred to as the “Certification Date”.
(d)    If a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Performance Period will end on the date of the Change of Control, the Performance Goal will be deemed achieved at the Target Level as of the date of the Change of Control, and the Restricted Stock Units at the Target Level will be earned as of the date of the Change of Control, provided that the Grantee is Employed by the Employer on the date of the Change of Control. For purposes of this Grant, the term “Change of Control” shall mean as such term is defined in the Plan, except that a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Grant unless the event constituting the Change of Control constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and its corresponding regulations.
(e)    Unless a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, if the Performance Goal is not achieved at, or in excess of, the Threshold Level at the end of the Performance Period no portion of the Restricted Stock Units may become earned, the Grantee shall not receive any shares of Company Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, and the Restricted Stock Units shall terminate.
(f)    For purposes of this Grant, the terms “Cumulative Net Sales” and “Performance Period” shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit B.
4.    Termination of Employment.
(a)    If, at least one year after the beginning of the Performance Period, but prior to the Redemption Date, the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of termination by the Employer on account of Disability (as defined in the Employer’s long-term disability plan) or Retirement (as defined in the Plan), the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion

2



of the Restricted Stock Units, if the Performance Goal and the requirements of this Grant are met as of the last day of the Performance Period. The prorated portion will be determined as the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have been earned if the Participant had remained employed through the Redemption Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Grantee was employed by the Employer during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period. If the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of termination by the Employer on account of Disability or Retirement as provided in this subparagraph, the prorated number of Restricted Stock Units will be distributed in accordance with Paragraph 5.
(b)    If, prior to the Redemption Date, the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of death, the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units, if the Performance Goal and the requirements of this Grant are met as of the last day of the Performance Period. The prorated portion will be determined as the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have been earned if the Participant had remained employed through the Redemption Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Grantee was employed by the Employer during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period. If the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of death the prorated number of Restricted Stock Units will be distributed in accordance with Paragraph 5.
(c)    Except as provided in subparagraphs (a) or (b) above or subparagraph (d) below, if at any time prior to the Redemption Date, the Grantee’s employment with the Employer is terminated by the Employer on account of any reason or no reason or by the Grantee for any reason or no reason, all of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Grant shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Employer and the Grantee shall not have any rights with respect to the redemption of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units.
(d)    If at any time prior to the date the vested Restricted Stock Units, if any, are redeemed in accordance with Paragraph 5 the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of a termination for Cause by the Employer, all of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Grant shall be immediately forfeited and the Grantee shall not have any rights with respect to the redemption of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, irrespective of the level of achievement of the Performance Goal. In addition, if the Grantee engages in conduct that constitutes Cause after the Grantee’s employment terminates, and prior to the date on which the vested Restricted Stock Units, if any, are redeemed in accordance with Paragraph 5, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited and the Grantee shall not have any rights with respect to the redemption of any portion of such Restricted Stock Units.
5.    Redemption. The Restricted Stock Units that become earned and vested pursuant to Paragraphs 3 and 4 above shall be redeemed by the Company on the earlier to occur of (i) the June 1 that immediately follows the last day of the Performance Period, which redemption will occur within thirty (30) days of such June 1 or (ii) the date of the Change of Control.
