• Restricted Shares Employee hereby accepts the Restricted Shares when issued and agrees with respect thereto as follows:

• Vested Shares “Vested Shares” shall mean the shares of Restricted Stock which are no longer subject to the Restrictions by reason of Section 3.2.

• RSUs The Continuing Stock Units shall continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the Original RSU Award Documents, on the same basis as such stock units would have become vested if Executive had remained employed under this Agreement through the Scheduled Expiration Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such Continuing Stock Units shall be subject to, and administered in accordance with, the Original RSU Award Documents. Any of Executive’s restricted stock unit awards that have not become vested on or before the Termination Date, and that are outstanding at the Termination Date, but which are not Continuing Stock Units, shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding any term or provision of the Original RSU Award Documents: (A) any provisions in such Original RSU Award Documents relating to disability shall not be applicable to any such Continuing Stock Units after the Termination Date; and (B) in the event of Executive’s death after the Termination Date but prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date, the terms and provisions of the Original RSU Award Documents shall be interpreted and applied in the same manner with respect to such Continuing Stock Units as if Executive were an active employee on the date of Executive’s death. (C) to the extent that, under the Company’s compensation practices and policies, any tranche of Continuing Stock Units is subject to the achievement of performance conditions which were imposed solely because Executive was an executive officer of the Company who could have been a covered employee within the meaning of Section 162(m) at the time payment in respect of such award was expected to be made (the “Applicable 162(m) Criteria”) and such Applicable 162(m) Criteria relate, in whole or in part, to any performance period continuing after the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, such Applicable 162(m) Criteria shall be waived as of the Termination Date with respect to such tranche of the Continuing Stock Units; provided, however, that this Paragraph 5(d)(iii)(C) shall not be applicable if and to the extent, in the reasonable opinion of tax counsel to the Company, the presence of such provision would cause any stock units intended to be qualified as other performance based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code to fail to be so qualified at any time prior to Executive’s Termination Date.

• Forfeiture of Restricted Shares Subject to Section 4(b), if your Service to the Company or any Affiliate terminates before all of the Restricted Shares have vested, or if you attempt to transfer Restricted Shares in a manner contrary to the transfer restrictions, you will immediately forfeit all unvested Restricted Shares. Any Restricted Shares that are forfeited shall be returned to the Company for cancellation.

• Award of Restricted Shares The Committee hereby awards to the Awardee [insert # of shares] Restricted Shares.

• Restricted Share Units Restricted Share Units means Restricted Share Units granted to Participant under the Plan subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of issuance.

• Vesting of Restricted Shares The Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture to the Company until they become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with this Section 2. While subject to forfeiture, the Restricted Shares may not be sold, pledged, assigned, otherwise encumbered or transferred in any manner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily by the operation of law, except to (i) an immediate family member or (ii) a trust or other estate-planning vehicle (collectively, the “Permitted Transferees”), so long as any such Permitted Transferee, as a condition to such transfer, agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Restricted Shares. (a) 100% of the Restricted Shares subject hereto shall become vested and non-forfeitable on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, provided the Grantee remains in continuous service with the Company through such date. (b) Upon cessation of the Service Relationship (hereinafter defined), any Restricted Shares which then remain forfeitable (determined after application of Section 2(c), below) will immediately and automatically, without any action on the part of the Company, be forfeited, and the Grantee will have no further rights with respect to those shares. (c) If the Service Relationship (as defined below) terminates due to the Grantee’s death, or if a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs during the Service Relationship, any otherwise unvested Restricted Shares will then become vested and non-forfeitable. Similarly, if the Service Relationship ceases due to a termination by the Company without “Cause”, due to the Grantee’s “Disability” or due to a resignation by the Grantee with “Good Reason” (each as defined in that certain Employment Agreement between the Grantee and the Company dated on or about the closing date of the Transaction (the “Employment Agreement”)), and the Grantee executes a release of claims in the form and manner described in Section 7(c)(iii) of the Employment Agreement within the timeframe established in the Employment Agreement, any otherwise unvested Restricted Shares will become vested and non-forfeitable when such release becomes irrevocable. (d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Service Relationship” means the Grantee’s employment or service with the Company or its parent or any subsidiary or Affiliate, whether in the capacity of an employee, director or a consultant. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Grantee’s Service Relationship shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Grantee renders service to the Company or a transfer between locations of the Company, its parent or any subsidiary or Affiliate or a transfer between the Company, its parent, or any subsidiary or Affiliate, provided that there is no interruption or other termination of the Service Relationship. Subject to the foregoing and the following sentence, the Company, in its discretion, shall determine whether the Grantee’s Service Relationship has terminated and the effective date of such termination. The following events shall not be deemed a termination of the Service Relationship:

• Rights as Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents 6.1 The Participant shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units vest and are settled by the issuance of such Common Shares. Upon and following the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant shall be the record owner of the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company (including voting rights). 6.2 In the event that the Company pays any cash dividends on its Common Shares between the Grant Date and the date when the Restricted Stock Units are settled in accordance with Section 7 hereof or are forfeited, the Participant’s Account shall be credited on the date such dividend is paid to shareholders with an amount equal to all cash dividends that would have been paid to the Participant if one Common Share had been issued on the Grant Date for each Restricted Stock Unit granted to the Participant (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to the Participant’s Account and interest may be credited on the amount of cash Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account shall be subject to the same vesting and other restrictions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable and shall be paid on the same date that the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable are settled in accordance with Section 7 hereof. Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account shall be distributed in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee, in Common Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Dividend Equivalents and interest, if any. Any accumulated and unpaid Dividend Equivalents attributable to Restricted Stock Units that are cancelled will not be paid and will be immediately forfeited upon cancellation of the Restricted Stock Units.
