2. The Award.

2.1 Grant of Units. On the Grant Date, the Grantee shall acquire, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Total Number of Units, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7. Each Unit represents a right to receive one (1) share of Stock on the applicable Settlement Date and in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2 No Monetary Payment Required.

2.3 Dividend Equivalent Units. On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend or other cash distribution to holders of Stock generally, the Grantee shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a) the product of (i) the dollar amount of the cash dividend or distribution paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii) the total number of Units previously credited to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined below) as of such date, by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Any resulting fractional Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such additional Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the Units originally subject to this Agreement with respect to which they have been credited.

2.4 Termination of the Award. The Award shall terminate upon the first to occur of (a) the final settlement of all Vested Units in accordance with Section 5 (including a final settlement upon the termination or cessation of Grantee’s Services) or (b) the Expiration Date if settlement has not occurred on or before the Expiration Date.

3. Vesting of Units.

3.1 Satisfaction of Service Condition. Except as provided by Section 3.3 below and subject to the Grantee’s continuous Service through the applicable date set forth in the table below (each a, “Service Date”), the Service Condition will be satisfied, and the Units will vest, in accordance with the following schedule:

Service Date		Percentage of Total Number of Units
December 31, 2018		25%
December 31, 2019		25%
December 31, 2020		25%
December 31, 2021		25%

3.2 Vesting Upon Change in Control or Upon Termination Without Cause or Due to Death, Complete Disability or Good Reason. If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Expiration Date, and prior to the termination of Grantee’s Service, then the Service Condition will be satisfied with respect to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Total Number of Units that are subject to vesting effective as of the date of such Change in Control. If the Grantee’s Service is involuntarily terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause or the Grantee’s Service terminates as a result of the Grantee’s death or Complete Disability or Grantee terminates his Service for Good Reason prior to the Expiration Date and Grantee executes a release in accordance with the Employment Agreement, then the Service Condition will be satisfied with respect to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Total Number of Units that are subject to vesting effective as of the date of such termination of Service.

3.3 Effect of Termination of Service. Subject to the vesting provisions in Sections 3.1, and 3.2 above, upon the termination of Grantee’s Service (whether by the Company or by Grantee and whether for Cause or for any or no reason), then:

(a) all Units for which the Service Condition has not been satisfied as of the date of such termination of Service shall be subject to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined in Section 4.1) immediately upon the termination of Grantee’s Service; and

(b) all Units for which the Service Condition has been satisfied as of the date of such termination of Service (including as a result of Section 3.3) shall not be subject to the Company Reacquisition Right, but instead shall remain Vested Units.

3.4 Payments Upon Vesting. Upon the vesting of any Units pursuant to Sections 3.1, or 3.2, above, the Company shall, if Grantee is an employee at the time of Vesting, pay, on behalf of Grantee, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax imposed pursuant to Sections 3101 and 3121(v)(2) of the Code on the Vested Units (the “FICA Amount”). In addition, the Company shall pay Grantee a tax gross-up payment (computed at the highest applicable marginal rate) in an amount that, after payment of all federal, state, and local income and employment taxes, results in the Grantee’s receipt and retention, on an after-tax basis, of an amount equal to all federal, state, and local taxes payable by Grantee on the FICA Amount.

3.5 Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code. For avoidance of doubt, Section 6 of the Employment Agreement is incorporated herein.

4. Company Reacquisition Right.

4.1 Grant of Company Reacquisition Right. In the event that the Grantee’s Service terminates for any reason, the Grantee shall forfeit and the Company shall automatically reacquire all Units for which the applicable Service Condition has not been satisfied as of the time of such termination in accordance with Section 3 (the “Unvested Units”), and the Grantee shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the “Company Reacquisition Right”).

4.2 Dividends, Distributions and Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company paid in shares of Stock or other property, or any other adjustment upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 7, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which the Grantee is entitled by reason of the Grantee’s ownership of Unvested Units shall be immediately subject to the Company Reacquisition Right and included in the terms “Units” and “Unvested Units” for all purposes of the Company Reacquisition Right with the same force and effect as the Unvested Units immediately prior to the dividend, distribution or adjustment, as the case may be. For purposes of determining the number of Units for which the applicable Service Condition has been satisfied following a dividend, distribution or adjustment, credited Service shall include all Service with any corporation which is a Participating Company at the time the Service is rendered, whether or not such corporation is a Participating Company both before and after any such event.

5. Settlement of the Units.

5.1 Issuance of Shares of Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 below, the Company shall issue to the Grantee on the Settlement Date with respect to each Vested Unit to be settled on such date one (1) share of Stock.

5.2 Beneficial Ownership of Shares. A certificate for the shares acquired by the Grantee shall be registered in the name of the Grantee, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Grantee.

5.3 Transfer of Shares. The Grantee may not transfer the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy.

5.4 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the settlement of the Units.

6. Tax Withholding.

6.1 In General. Subject to the obligations of the Participating Company under Sections 3 and 6.2 , at the time this Agreement is executed, or at any time thereafter as requested by a Participating Company, the Grantee hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Grantee, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for, any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax (including any social insurance) withholding obligations of the Participating Company, if any, which arise in connection with the grant of Units, the vesting of Units or the issuance of shares of Stock in settlement thereof. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock until the tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company have been satisfied by the Grantee. Additionally, any taxes imposed on the Grantee due to Services to the Company (including upon the issuance, vesting and settlement of the Units) will be the sole responsibility of the Grantee (except as otherwise specified in Section 3).

6.2 Assignment of Sale Proceeds. Subject to compliance with applicable law and the Company’s Trading Compliance Policy, if permitted by the Company, the Grantee may satisfy the Participating Company’s tax withholding obligations in accordance with procedures established by the Company providing for delivery by the Grantee to the Company or a broker approved by the Company of properly executed instructions, in a form approved by the Company, providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon settlement of Units.

7. Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure.

Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company and the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number of Units subject to this Agreement and/or the number and kind of shares or other property to be issued in settlement of the Units, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.” Any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy) to which the Grantee is entitled by reason of ownership of Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement will be immediately subject to the provisions of this Agreement on the same basis as all Units originally acquired hereunder. Any fractional Unit or share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall be determined by the Board, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

In the event of a merger or other Change in Control which does not constitute a Settlement Date, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiror”), shall, without the consent of the Grantee, assume or continue in full force and effect the Company’s rights and obligations under the Units then-outstanding and this Agreement or substitute for the Units then-outstanding substantially equivalent restricted stock units for Acquiror’s stock. For purposes of this Section, the Units or any portion thereof shall be deemed assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, this Agreement, as assumed, confers the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the this Agreement, for each Unit outstanding immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, other securities or property or a combination thereof) to which a holder of a share of Stock on the effective date of the merger or Change in Control was entitled (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration is not solely common stock of the Acquiror, the Board may, with the consent of the Acquiror, provide for the consideration to be received upon the settlement of the Units, for each share of Stock subject to the Unit, to consist solely of common stock of the Acquiror equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock pursuant to the merger or Change in Control.

8. Rights as a Stockholder or Employee.

The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares which may be issued in settlement of the Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Stock are issued, except as provided in Section 2.3 or Section 7. The Grantee understands and acknowledges that the Grantee’s Services to the Company is dictated by the Employment Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of a Participating Company to terminate the Grantee’s Service at any time.

9. Legends.

The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Grantee shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement in the possession of the Grantee in order to carry out the provisions of this Section. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR RULE 701 UNDER THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.”
