The Award represents a promise to pay to the Grantee a cash amount equal to the number of RSUs that vest hereunder multiplied by the per share closing price of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Stock”) on the applicable Vesting Date, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

1. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan.

Any dividends or other distributions paid on the Stock from the Award Date through the Vesting Date for the applicable RSUs shall accrue and shall be converted to additional RSUs based on the closing price of the Stock on any dividend distribution date, provided that such additional RSUs shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as are the RSUs with respect to which they were paid over the vesting period, and shall vest and be paid to the Grantee only to the extent (and at the same time) that underlying RSUs vest, and are settled.

(b) Restrictions on Transfer. The RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated and any such attempt to transfer any RSU will not be honored.

[Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company without “Cause” (and not due to the Grantee’s death or disability) during the two-year period following a Change in Control, any unvested RSUs granted hereunder shall become immediately fully vested and shall be settled as soon as administratively practicable thereafter.]1
