The terms of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice, are as follows.

3.CAPITALIZATION ADJUSTMENTS. The number of Restricted Stock Units issuable is subject to the adjustment from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments as provided in the Plan. Any additional Restricted Stock Units or shares of Common Stock that become subject to your Award pursuant to this Section 3 shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Company, to the same vesting restrictions, restrictions on transfer, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Restricted Stock Units and shares of Common Stock covered by your Award. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no fractional share or right for a fractional share of Common Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 3. Any fraction of a share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

4.SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. You shall not be issued any shares of Common Stock under your Award unless the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect

​

​

of your Award is (a) then registered under the Securities Act or (b) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your Award, and you shall not receive such shares of Common Stock if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

5.TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Prior to the date that shares of Common Stock have been delivered to you, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of your Award or the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of your Award, except as expressly provided in this Section 5.

The restrictions on transfer set forth herein shall lapse upon delivery to you of shares of Common Stock in respect of your vested Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Death. Your Award and the shares of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent value thereof) issuable in respect of your Award are transferable by the laws of descent and distribution. At your death, vesting of your Award shall cease and your executor or administrator of your estate shall be entitled to receive, on behalf of your estate, any shares of Common Stock or other consideration issuable in respect of your Award that vested but were not issued before your death.

(b)Domestic Relations Orders.

You are encouraged to discuss the proposed terms of any division of your Award with the Company prior to finalizing the domestic relations order to verify that you may make such transfer and, if so, to help ensure the required information is contained within the domestic relations order.

Subject to the satisfaction of the tax withholding obligation set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement, in the event one or more Restricted Stock Units vests, the Company shall issue to you one share of Common Stock (subject to any adjustment under Section 3 above) or the cash equivalent value thereof for each Restricted Stock Unit that vests, such issuance to occur within the calendar year following the year in which your service as a Director terminates. The form of delivery of shares of Common Stock, if any (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company.

7.DIVIDENDS. Until such time as the Restricted Stock Units vest, your Account shall be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends (“Dividend Equivalents”) that would have been paid to you if one share of Common Stock had been issued on the Grant Date for each Restricted Stock Unit granted to you as set forth in this Agreement. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to your Account and interest may be credited on the amount of cash Dividend Equivalents credited to your Account at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting restrictions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable and shall be paid promptly following the date that the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable vest pursuant to Section 2. In the event a Restricted Stock Unit has vested but has not been issued pursuant to Section 6,

(a)On each vesting date, and on or before the time you receive a distribution of the shares of Common Stock with respect to your Restricted Stock Units, and at any other time as requested by the Company in accordance with applicable tax laws, you hereby authorize any required withholding with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent value thereof) issuable to you (including, without limitation, by the Company’s deduction of such required withholding from compensation and other amounts payable to you by the Company), and you otherwise agree to make adequate provision, including in cash, for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate that arise in connection with your Award. The Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock to you with respect to your Restricted Stock Units unless and until you have satisfied in full all federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations.

(b)Upon your request and subject to approval by the Company, in its sole discretion, and in compliance with any applicable legal conditions or restrictions, (1) the Company may withhold from fully vested shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you with respect to your Restricted Stock Units a number of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law, or (2) the Company may permit you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company pursuant to which you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of such fully vested shares of Common Stock sufficient to pay all or a portion of such required withholding taxes and the broker-dealer irrevocably agrees to deliver to the Company the funds that will be applied to the payment of such withholding taxes. Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding or sale procedure shall be your sole responsibility.

​

​

(c)The Company’s withholding obligations may be satisfied by any combination of the Company’s withholding or your form of payment made pursuant to this Section 11.

(d)You are ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock that are issuable with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with such Restricted Stock Units and shares. The Company does not make any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the Award.

12.TAX CONSEQUENCES. You hereby agree that the Company does not have a duty to design or administer the Plan or its other compensation programs in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities. You shall not make any claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors, Employees or Affiliates related to tax liabilities arising from the grant or vesting of your Award or from your other compensation. You represent to the Company that you have reviewed with your own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. You are relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

13.UNSECURED OBLIGATION; SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. Your Award is unfunded, and as the holder of your Award you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue shares of Common Stock or other property pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have voting, dividend or any other rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Restricted Stock Units unless and until such shares have been issued and delivered to you pursuant to this Agreement following the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units. Upon such issuance and delivery, you shall obtain full voting, dividend and other rights as a shareholder of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.

14.NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your Award, this Agreement or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by mail by the Company to you, five days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any notices or documents related to your Award, this Agreement or the Plan by electronic means (including email). You hereby consent to receive such notices and documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

15.APPLICABILITY OF THE PLAN. Your Award and this Agreement are subject to all of the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your Award and are further subject to all interpretations and amendments of the Plan which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

​

​

16.SEVERABILITY. If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of this Agreement or the Plan (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

17.AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, signed by a duly authorized representative of the Company, provided that no such amendment materially adversely affecting your rights hereunder may be made without your written consent. However, the Company reserves the right to change, by written notice to you, the provisions of this Agreement in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the Award as a result of any change in applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling or judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to rights relating to that portion of your Award which is then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

18.COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE. Your Award is intended to first be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum permissible extent and will be interpreted and construed consistently with such intent, including but not limited to, by reason of complying with the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly. To the extent that any payments under this Agreement are not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then all such payments are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid adverse personal tax consequences and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly. Any amounts subject to Section 409A of the Code and payable under this Agreement upon a termination of service shall be payable only if such termination is also a “separation from service” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Executive by Section 409A of the Code or for any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

19.MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)The Company may assign any of its rights under the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan to one or more assignees, and all covenants contained in the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Company’s successors and assigns.
