(the “Board”) approved on (the “Grant Date”) the grant of Deferred Stock Units (as
defined below) to the Director, as described herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree to the following terms and conditions of
this Agreement:
1. Grant of Deferred Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to the Director Deferred
Stock Units. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Deferred Stock Unit” shall mean the contractual
right to receive one share of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), subject to the
terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement and the Plan.
2. Vesting and Forfeiture. Except as the Committee may otherwise provide, Deferred Stock
Units granted under this Agreement shall vest in four equal tranches of Deferred Stock Units
on each anniversary of the Grant Date, commencing on , 20___ and terminating on , 20___.
Upon the date that the Director ceases to be a member of the Board, all unvested Deferred Stock
Units granted hereunder shall be forfeited as of such date, and the Director shall have no further
rights with respect to such forfeited Deferred Stock Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that the Director remains affiliated with the Company, or any parent or subsidiary of the
Company, as an employee or consultant following the termination of the Director’s service on the
Board, the Committee shall have the discretion to permit the Director’s unvested Deferred Stock
Units to continue to vest upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may provide.
3. Settlement of Deferred Stock Units. Settlement for any vested Deferred Stock Units shall
be in shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Settlement Shares”). For the purposes of this
Agreement, the “Settlement Date” shall mean the date upon which the Common Stock is delivered to
the Director in accordance with the Director’s Election for Receipt of Restricted Stock, Restricted
Stock Units, or Deferred Stock Units, which signed election form is attached hereto as Exhibit
A. The Company shall deliver the Settlement Shares to the Director as soon as reasonably
practicable following the applicable Settlement Date. The Settlement Shares will be issued and
evidenced in such manner as the Committee in its discretion shall deem appropriate, including,
without limitation, book-entry, registration or issuance of one or more
stock certificates. Upon
issuance of the Settlement Shares, the number of Deferred Stock Units equal to the Settlement Shares shall be extinguished and such number of Deferred Stock Units
will no longer be considered to be held by the Director for any purpose.

assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of in any manner by
the Director, except as otherwise approved by the Committee.
5. Securities Laws. The Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any shares of
Common Stock under this Agreement in any manner in contravention of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, any other federal or state securities law or the rules of any exchange or market system
upon which the Common Stock is traded. The Board or the Committee may, at any time, require, as a
condition to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock hereunder, the representation or
agreement of the Director to the effect that the shares issuable hereunder are acquired by the
Director for investment purposes and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and may
require such other representations and documents as may be required to comply with applicable
securities laws or the rules of any applicable exchange or market system.
6. Withholding of Applicable Taxes. The Director shall pay, or make provision satisfactory to
the Company for the payment of, any taxes that the Company is obligated to collect with respect to
the issuance or vesting of Deferred Stock Units under this Agreement, including but not limited to,
any applicable federal, state or local withholding or employment taxes (such amount, the
“Withholding Amount”). If the Director shall fail to pay, or make provision for the payment of the
Withholding Amount, the Company shall have the right to withhold the Withholding Amount from the
Deferred Stock Units, compensation or other amounts the Company owes the Director. For these
purposes, the Company may reduce the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the
Director to satisfy the Withholding Amount.
7. Subject to Terms of Plan. The Deferred Stock Units are subject to the terms and provisions
of the Plan. To the extent that the provisions hereof conflict with those of the Plan, the
provisions of the Plan shall control. All decisions or interpretations made by the Committee
regarding any issue or question arising under this Agreement or the Plan shall be final, binding
and conclusive on the Company and the Director.
8. No Rights as Stockholder. The Deferred Stock Units granted under this Agreement do not
provide the Director with any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without
limitation, the right to vote or receive any dividends declared or paid on the Common Stock, unless
and until shares of Common Stock relating to the Deferred Stock Units have been issued to the
Director.
9. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto, including the successors and assigns of the Company.

10. Governing Law. This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the
State of New York, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise
refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another
jurisdiction. The parties will submit any dispute or claim arising under this Agreement to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal or New York state courts within the New York counties of
New York, Nassau, or Suffolk, and the parties hereby submit to, and waive any objection to,
personal jurisdiction and venue in such courts for such purpose.
11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.
