Change in Control. [The Grantee [shall] [shall not] vest in the [PSUs] [RSUs] subject to this Agreement upon a Change in Control.] [The Grantee shall vest in the [PSUs][RSUs] subject to this Agreement upon an involuntary Termination of Service by action of the Company other than for Cause or by action of the Grantee for Good Reason, which occurs within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” and “Good Reason” shall have the following meanings:

(a)“Cause” means any of the following (in each case as determined by the Committee): (i) the Grantee’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere or equivalent to any felony; (ii) the Grantee’s fraud, willful misconduct, dishonesty or act of moral turpitude in the course of or related to the Grantee’s employment or that could reasonably be expected to be materially injurious to the Company or an affiliate; or (iii) the Grantee’s willful failure to perform the Grantee’s job duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after notice from the Company and a reasonable opportunity to cure.

(b)“Good Reason” means any of the following, without the Grantee’s written consent: (i) a material and adverse change to, or diminution to, the Grantee’s job duties, reporting structure, or compensation in effect on the Grant Date (other than temporarily while the Grantee is physically or mentally incapacitated or as required by applicable law); or (ii) permanent relocation of the Grantee’s primary place of employment that increases the commuting distance from the Grantee’s primary residence on the Grant Date by more than thirty (30) miles. The Grantee may not have a Termination of Service for Good Reason hereunder unless the Grantee has provided written notice to the Company of the existence of the circumstances providing grounds for Termination of Service for Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such grounds and the Company has had at least thirty (30) days from the date on which such notice is provided to cure such circumstances. If the Grantee does not terminate the Grantee’s service with the Company for Good Reason within ninety (90) days after the first occurrence of the applicable grounds, then the Grantee will be deemed to have waived the Grantee’ right to have a Termination of Service for Good Reason with respect to such grounds.]

11.

Clawback or Recoupment Policy. This [PSU] [RSU], Common Stock delivered pursuant to this [PSU] [RSU], and any gains or profits on the sale of such Common Stock shall be subject to any “clawback” or recoupment policy adopted by the Company. Under the current Clawback Policy, the Company has the discretion, as determined by the Committee, to recoup Common Stock delivered pursuant to this award and any gains or profits on the sale of such Common Stock, plus a reasonable rate of interest, upon any of the following: (i) the Grantee has an involuntary Termination of Service by action of the Company for Cause (as defined above), or (ii) with respect to an award based on certain financial results, the Grantee engages in misconduct that causes or partially causes the need for such a restatement which would have resulted in a lower award or a lesser amount to have vested.

12.

No Section 83(b) Election. The Grantee may not make an election under section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to [PSUs] [RSUs].
