ARTICLE IV

SETTLEMENT OF AWARD

Section 4.1 ‑ Conditions to Settlement of PSUs

The Shares deliverable upon the settlement of the PSUs shall be fully paid and nonassessable and shall be settled by the Company by entering such Shares in book-entry form. The Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares upon the settlement of any PSUs, or any portion thereof, prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the obtaining of approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and (b) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date that the PSUs become vested, as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience. Until Shares are issued to the Participant in respect of PSUs, the Participant shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company (including, but not limited to, any voting rights). The Company’s obligation to issue Shares or otherwise make any payment with respect to vested PSUs is subject to the condition precedent that the Participant or other Person entitled under the Plan to receive any Shares with respect to the vested PSUs deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or assurances as the Company may reasonably require, including but not limited to all acts and documents related to compliance with securities, tax and other applicable laws and regulations. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to any PSUs for which Shares are issued under this Article IV.

Section 4.2 – Settlement of PSUs; Rights as Stockholder

(a) Settlement of PSUs; Tax Withholding. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the Participant shall receive, as soon as commercially practicable after the date that such Eligible Units become vested (and in no event later than seventy-four (74) days following such vesting date), one Share for each PSU that becomes vested upon the final day of the Performance Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Qualifying Termination, (i) with respect to any PSUs that are not Eligible Units as of such Qualifying Termination, and that remain outstanding and eligible to become Eligible Units and to vest in accordance with Section 3.1, if such PSUs become Eligible Units and vest in accordance with Section 3.1 prior to or upon the final day of the Performance Period, the Participant shall receive, as soon as commercially practicable after the date that such Eligible Units become vested (and in no event later than seventy-four (74) days following such vesting date), one Share for each such PSU, and (ii) with respect to any PSUs that are Eligible Units and that become vested upon such Qualifying Termination in accordance with Section 3.1, the Participant shall receive, as soon as soon as commercially practicable after the date that such Eligible Units become vested (and in no event later than seventy-four (74) days following such vesting date), one Share for each such PSU.

The date(s) that a Share is delivered in settlement of a PSU hereunder, as applicable, the “Settlement Date”.

It shall be a condition of the obligation of the Company upon delivery of Shares to the Participant pursuant this Section 4.2 that the Participant pay to the Company such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying any liability for any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the delivery of such Shares. Subject to the discretion of the Committee, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the delivery of Shares as determined by the Committee (including the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company Group including by “net settlement” or retaining Shares otherwise payable in respect of the Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount sufficient to satisfy the statutory federal, state, foreign and local taxes and any employment, disability, social welfare or other legally required withholdings) or, unless otherwise determined by the Committee upon or prior to a Settlement Date, by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to issue and then immediately redeem

or repurchase Shares at Fair Market Value; (iii) tendering to the Company currently owned and unencumbered Shares of the Company; or (iv) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained from the Award and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the withholding, in each case in accordance with applicable laws, and in each of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), immediately tendering the redemption or repurchase price paid by the Company in respect of such Shares back to the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the tax obligation arises during period in which the Participant is prohibited from trading Shares under any policy of the Company or by reason of the Act, then the tax withholding obligation shall automatically be satisfied by the Company by “net settlement” or retaining Shares otherwise payable in respect of the Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount sufficient to satisfy the statutory federal, state, foreign and local taxes and any employment, disability, social welfare or other legally required withholdings.

(b) Dividend Equivalent Rights. Each PSU granted hereunder is hereby granted in tandem with a corresponding dividend equivalent right (a “Dividend Equivalent”). Each Dividend Equivalent right shall, to the extent a cash dividend or distribution (if any) is declared with respect to Shares and has an ex dividend date(s) that occur on or after the applicable Grant Date but prior to the applicable PSU Termination Date (as defined below), and subject to the terms set forth below, entitle the Participant to a payment in the amount of any such dividend or distribution (if any) paid by the Company in respect of a Share. The Dividend Equivalent right shall remain outstanding from the Grant Date through the earlier to occur of (i) the termination or forfeiture for any reason of the PSU to which such Dividend Equivalent right corresponds, or (ii) the delivery to the Participant of the Share in respect of the PSU to which such Dividend Equivalent right corresponds upon a Settlement Date (as applicable, the “PSU Termination Date”). The Company shall maintain a notional account (the “Account”) for the benefit of the Participant, in which the Company shall record the amount of each such cash dividend or distribution (if any). Each Dividend Equivalent right will entitle the Participant to a payment in, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion with respect to the form of payment: (A) cash or (B) a number of Shares equal to the balance of the Account associated with such Dividend Equivalent right divided by the Fair Market Value, on the date that the PSU to which such Dividend Equivalent right corresponds becomes vested, of one Share. In the event the Account balance is paid in Shares, if the calculation set forth in the preceding sentence results in fractional Shares, the Company shall round down such number of Shares to the nearest whole number (in which case, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount in cash equal to the fractional Shares based on the Fair Market Value thereof). Payment in respect of each Dividend Equivalent right will be made upon the Settlement Date in respect of the PSU to which such Dividend Equivalent right corresponds; provided that, with respect to any dividend or distribution (if any) that is paid after the PSU Termination Date, the applicable Dividend Equivalent payment will be made if and when the Company pays the underlying dividend or distribution (if any), but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable ex dividend date occurs. If the underlying PSU is forfeited or otherwise fails to vest for any reason pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, the Participant shall, automatically and without further action by the Company or the Participant, forfeit all amounts maintained in the Account without consideration therefor. In no event shall a Dividend Equivalent payment be made that would result in the Participant receiving both the Dividend Equivalent payment and the actual dividend with respect to the same PSU and corresponding Share. Dividend Equivalent rights and any amounts that may become distributable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the PSUs and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of the designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A of the Code.

(c) HSR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Participant would be required to make a filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) in connection with receipt of Shares hereunder, the applicable time period(s) pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be appropriately extended to permit such filing, pay the necessary filing fees (which will be the Participant’s sole responsibility to pay), and observe the statutory waiting period(s), but not beyond March 15th in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the PSU becomes vested. Subject to the foregoing, the Participant will provide at least sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Company prior to a PSU becoming vested, if the vesting and settlement of such PSU would or would reasonably be expected to require such a filing under the HSR Act.

(d) Limitation on Obligations. The Company’s obligation with respect to the PSUs granted hereunder is limited solely to the delivery to the Participant of Shares on the date when such Shares are due to be delivered hereunder, and in no way shall the Company become obligated to pay cash in respect of such obligation (except as set forth in Section 4.2(b)). This Award shall not be secured by any specific assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor shall any assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates be designated as attributable or allocated to the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Term Sheet, these Terms and Conditions or the Plan.

(e) Tax Advice. The Participant is hereby advised to seek the Participant’s own tax counsel regarding the taxation of an award of PSUs made hereunder.
