2. Grant of Awards; Calculation of Awards

(a) Grant of Awards.

(i) The Company hereby grants to the Participant a number of TRSUs under the Award equal to the number of TRSUs set forth in the Award Certificate, which TRSUs shall be subject to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth in the Award Certificate and herein.

(ii) The Company hereby grants to the Participant the opportunity to earn a number of PRSUs under the Award equal to the ranges set forth in the Award Certificate (with a threshold, target and maximum number of PRSUs for the Award). The actual number of PRSUs earned under the Award (the “Earned PRSUs”) shall be determined pursuant to Section 2(b), and further, the Earned PRSUs shall be subject to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth in the Award Certificate and herein.

(iii) The Company will grant to the Participant, as of the Determination Date, a number of OPRSUs under the Award equal to the number of OPRSUs, if any, determined pursuant to Section 2(c) (the “Earned OPRSUs”); provided, however, that the grant of the Earned OPRSUs is expressly contingent upon, and none of the Earned OPRSUs may be issued, granted, converted or exercised prior to, approval by the Company’s stockholders at or before the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the proposed amended and restated Plan to increase the shares available for issuance under the Plan by an amount at least sufficient to cover the maximum number of Earned OPRSUs, and if such approval is not obtained, the Earned OPRSUs shall be forfeited and cancelled in their entirety for no consideration.

(b) Calculation of Number of Earned PRSUs. Following the last day of the Performance Period applicable to the PRSUs, subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service through the last day of the Performance Period (except as otherwise provided in Section 5):

(i)The total number of Earned PRSUs under the Award shall be calculated by the Committee with respect to the Performance Component as of the Determination Date, or, if a Change of Control has occurred, as of the date of the Change of Control. The total number of Earned PRSUs shall be equal to the product of (A) the number of Maximum PRSUs for the Performance Component, multiplied by (B) the Achievement Percentage for the Performance Component. In the event that the Company’s actual performance does not meet the threshold

level for the Performance Component, no PRSUs shall be earned in respect of the Performance Component. The total number of Earned PRSUs shall in no event exceed the number of Maximum PRSUs set forth in the Award Certificate. All PRSUs that do not become Earned PRSUs shall be forfeited automatically and without further action as of the Determination Date.

(ii) The foregoing calculation shall be made no later than five business days following the Determination Date (or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable), at which time the Company shall notify the Participant of the total number of Earned PRSUs (rounded down to the nearest whole PRSU).

(c) Calculation of Number of Earned OPRSUs. Following the last day of the Performance Period applicable to the OPRSUs, subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service through the last day of the Performance Period (except as otherwise provided in Section 5):

(i) The total number of Earned OPRSUs that may be granted as of the Determination Date to the Participant under the Award shall be calculated by the Committee with respect to each Performance Component. The total number of Earned OPRSUs that may be granted as of the Determination Date shall be equal to the product of (A) the total number of TRSUs set forth in the Award Certificate, multiplied by (B) the Multiplier as set forth in the Award Certificate. In the event that the Company’s actual performance does not meet the threshold level for either of the Performance Components, no OPRSUs shall be granted in respect of that Performance Component. The total number of Earned OPRSUs shall in no event exceed the number of Maximum OPRSUs set forth in the Award Certificate.

3. Vesting. Subject to Section 5, the RSUs shall become vested as follows, subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service with the Company through the applicable date(s) (each, a “Vesting Date” and such RSU that vests, a “Vested RSU”):

(a) With respect to the TRSUs, one-third of the TRSUs shall vest on each of the first, second, and third year anniversaries of the Effective Date;

(b) With respect to the Earned PRSUs, if any, the Earned PRSUs shall become vested in full on the Determination Date.

4. Issuance of Common Stock.

(a) Settlement of Vested RSUs. Shares of Common Stock underlying a Vested RSU shall be transferred to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable following the applicable Vesting Date, but in no event later than the 15th day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which such Vesting Date occurs. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the Participant in respect of an RSU prior to the applicable Vesting Date. After an RSU becomes a Vested RSU, the Company shall promptly cause to be registered in the Participant’s name or in the name of the executor or personal representative of the Participant’s estate, as the case may be, one share of Common Stock in payment for each such Vested RSU. For purposes of this Agreement, the date on which Vested RSUs are converted into shares of Common Stock shall be referred to as the “Settlement Date.”

(b) Fractional RSUs. In the event the Participant is vested in a fractional portion of an RSU, such portion shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

5. Effects of Certain Events.

(a) General. Subject to Section 5(b), in the event that the Participant’s Continuous Service with the Company is terminated, any unvested RSUs (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unvested TRSUs, unearned PRSUs, earned but unvested PRSUs, unearned and not-yet-granted OPRSUs and earned but unvested OPRSUs) and any associated Dividend Equivalent Amount shall be forfeited automatically and without further action as of the Termination Date.

(b) Qualifying Termination. Notwithstanding Section 5(a):

(i) (A) With respect to the TRSUs, in the event of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination due to death, Disability or Retirement prior to the vesting of the TRSUs, all unvested TRSUs shall automatically and immediately vest as of the Termination Date. In such case, such number of TRSUs shall be deemed vested in full and settled pursuant to Section 4(a), with the “Vesting Date” meaning the Termination Date.

(B) With respect to the TRSUs, in the event of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination due to termination by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason prior to the vesting of the TRSUs, unvested TRSUs shall automatically and immediately vest as of the Termination Date on a pro-rated basis based on (i) the total number of TRSUs multiplied by the Partial Service Factor as of the

Termination Date, minus (ii) the number of TRSUs that had previously vested prior to the Termination Date. In such case, such number of TRSUs shall be deemed vested in full and settled pursuant to Section 4(a), with the “Vesting Date” meaning the Termination Date. All other unvested TRSUs shall be forfeited automatically and without further action as of the Termination Date.

(ii) With respect to the PRSUs, in the event of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination prior to the completion of the Performance Period, a portion of the PRSUs which may be earned under the Award will become earned only as of the Determination Date, with the actual number of Earned PRSUs determined based on actual performance through the Determination Date, as measured against the Performance Component. The number of Earned PRSUs calculated in accordance with this Section which become vested will be pro-rated based on the number of PRSUs earned as of the Determination Date multiplied by the Partial Service Factor, and such pro-rated number of Earned PRSUs (and any associated PRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount) shall be deemed vested in full and settled pursuant to Section 4(a), with the “Vesting Date” meaning the Determination Date; provided, however, that if the Qualified Termination is as a result of the Participant’s Retirement, the Partial Service Factor shall be equal to one (1). All other PRSUs and PRSU Dividend Equivalent Amounts shall be forfeited automatically and without further action as of the Termination Date.

(iv) With respect to the OPRSUs, in the event of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination prior to the completion of the Performance Period, a portion of the OPRSUs which may be earned and granted under the Award will become earned and granted no later than immediately prior to the Determination Date, with the actual number of Earned OPRSUs determined based on actual performance through the Determination Date, as measured against the Performance Component. The number of Earned OPRSUs calculated in accordance with this Section which become vested will be pro-rated based on the number of Earned OPRSUs as of the Determination Date multiplied by the Partial Service Factor, and such pro-rated number of Earned OPRSUs shall be deemed vested in full and settled pursuant to Section 4(a), with the “Vesting Date” meaning the Determination Date; provided, however, that if the Qualified Termination is as a result of the Participant’s Retirement, the Partial Service Factor shall be equal to one (1). All other rights to earn and/or be granted OPRSUs or OPRSU Dividend Equivalent Amounts shall be forfeited automatically and without further action as of the Determination Date.

(c) Termination for Cause. In the event of the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service by the Company for Cause, then the Award, the RSUs (whether or not earned or vested) and any associated Dividend Equivalent Amounts, and any shares underlying RSUs that have not yet been transferred to the Participant, shall be forfeited automatically and without further action

as of the Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in addition to the foregoing, in the event of the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service by the Company for Cause, the Participant shall forfeit any right to earn or to be granted any OPRSUs.

(d) Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) With respect to the TRSUs, in the event of a Qualified Termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service during a Change of Control Period prior to the vesting of the TRSUs, all unvested TRSUs shall automatically and immediately vest as of the Termination Date. In such case, such number of TRSUs shall be deemed vested in full and settled pursuant to Section 4(a), with the “Vesting Date” meaning the date of Termination.

(ii) With respect to the PRSUs, in the event of a Qualified Termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service during a Change of Control Period and prior to the completion of the Performance Period, a portion of the PRSUs which may be earned under the Award will become earned as of the Termination Date, with the actual number of Earned PRSUs equal to the greater of (X) the number of Earned PRSUs earned based on actual performance through the date of the Change of Control and measured against the Performance Component based on actual performance through the date of the Change of Control, and (Y) the Target amount of Earned PRSUs. In each such case, such number of Earned PRSUs (and any associated PRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount) shall be deemed vested in full and settled pursuant to Section 4(a), with the “Vesting Date” meaning the Termination Date, and all other PRSUs and PRSU Dividend Equivalent Amounts shall be forfeited automatically and without further action as of the Termination Date.

(iii) With respect to the OPRSUs, in the event of a Qualified Termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service during a Change of Control Period, a portion of the OPRSUs which may be earned and granted under the Award will become earned and granted as of immediately prior to the Termination Date, with the actual number of Earned OPRSUs determined based on actual performance for the applicable Performance Period determined as of the Determination Date, measured against the Performance Component. In such case, such number of Earned OPRSUs (and any associated OPRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount) shall be deemed vested in full and settled pursuant to Section 4(a), with the “Vesting Date” meaning the Determination Date, and all other rights to earn and/or be granted OPRSUs shall be forfeited automatically and without further action as of the Determination Date.

(iv) If after a Change of Control the Company or its successor does not assume, convert, or replace any TRSUs, PRSUs and OPRSUs as calculated in Section 2 or Section 5, as applicable, with a security with substantially the same rights, privileges, preferences of the

TRSUs, PRSUs and OPRSUs, respectively, then in each case the applicable TRSUs, PRSUs and OPRSUs described in Section 5, as applicable, shall immediately vest.

6. Dividend Equivalent Rights.

(a) Each TRSU shall have a TRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount that shall be paid concurrently with the corresponding Common Stock cash dividend, without regard to whether the TRSU is a Vested RSU.

(b) Each Earned PRSU shall accrue a PRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount that shall be paid if, as and when the Earned PRSU becomes vested and earned. For the avoidance of doubt, no dividend equivalent right shall accrue in respect of a PRSU which is not vested and earned based on the achievement of the Performance Component.

(c) The PRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount shall be calculated by crediting a hypothetical bookkeeping account for the Participant with an amount equal to the amount of cash dividends that would have been paid on the dividend payment date with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the unsettled Earned PRSUs (or PRSUs which become Earned PRSUs in accordance with this Agreement) if such shares had been outstanding on the dividend record date. The Participant’s PRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount shall not be credited with interest or earnings.

(d) Any PRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount: (i) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Earned PRSU to which the dividend equivalent right relates, including, without limitation, the restrictions on transfer and the forfeiture conditions contained in the Agreement; (ii) shall vest and be settled upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Earned PRSUs to which they relate; and (iii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash.

(e) Each Earned OPRSU shall accrue an OPRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount that shall be paid if, as and when the Earned OPRSU becomes vested and earned. For the avoidance of doubt, no dividend equivalent right shall accrue in respect of an OPRSU which is not vested, earned and granted based on the achievement of the applicable Performance Components.

(f) The OPRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount shall be calculated by crediting a hypothetical bookkeeping account for the Participant with an amount equal to the amount of cash dividends that would have been paid on the dividend payment date with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the unsettled Earned OPRSUs if such shares had been

outstanding on the dividend record date. The Participant’s OPRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount shall not be credited with interest or earnings.

(g) Any OPRSU Dividend Equivalent Amount: (i) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Earned OPRSU to which the dividend equivalent right relates, including, without limitation, the restrictions on transfer and the forfeiture conditions contained in the Agreement; (ii) shall vest and be settled upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Earned OPRSUs to which they relate; and (iii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash.

Any and all of the Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company’s sole obligation under this Agreement and in

respect of the Award or the RSUs shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay the Participant in the future, subject to the conditions and provisions of the Agreement and the Plan.

Further, the Company or any Affiliate (as applicable) may at any time terminate the Employment of such Participant, free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any written employment agreement between the Participant and the Company (or any Affiliate).

(f) Limitation on Stockholder Rights. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights (subject to Dividend Equivalent Rights as set forth in Section 6), and no voting rights with respect to the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such RSUs until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Participant. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of the shares of Common Stock, except for the Dividend Equivalent Rights as set forth in Section 6.

(g) Tax Withholding.

(i) Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all federal, state, or local income tax, employment tax or other tax-related items (“Tax Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related Items associated with the RSUs (and the Dividend Equivalent Rights associated therewith) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company: (A) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Related Items in connection with any aspect of

the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the RSUs, the delivery of the shares of Common Stock, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting, and the receipt of any Dividend Equivalent Rights; and (B) does not commit to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax Related Items. Further, if Participant has relocated to a different jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(ii) Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company, in its sole discretion, to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations for Tax Related Items of the Company. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax Related Items legally payable by the Participant with respect to the RSUs by withholding in shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant, provided that the Company withholds only the amount of shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the maximum statutory withholding amount using the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Settlement Date. Participant shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the RSUs that are not satisfied by the previously described method. The Company may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock to the Participant if the Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax Related Items as described in this Section.

(h) Clawback Policy. The compensation under this Agreement shall be subject to being recovered under the Company’s Clawback Policy, or any similar policy that the Company may adopt from time to time. For avoidance of doubt, compensation recovery rights to shares of Common Stock issued under this Agreement shall extend to any proceeds realized by the Participant upon the sale or other transfer of such shares of Common Stock.

(i) Section 409A Compliance. The Award, the RSUs, and the shares of Common Stock and amounts payable under this Agreement are intended either to be exempt from, or to comply with, the requirements of Section 409A, so as to prevent the inclusion in gross income of any benefits accrued hereunder in a taxable year prior to the taxable year or years in which such amount would otherwise be actually distributed or made available to the Participants. The Agreement shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, no payments in respect of any Award or RSU that is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and which would otherwise be payable upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A) shall be made to the Participant prior to the date that is six months after the date of the

Participant’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the Participant’s date of death. Following any applicable six-month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest date permitted under Section 409A that is also a business day. The Participant is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties under Section 409A that may be imposed on or in respect of the Participant in connection with this Agreement, and the Company shall not be liable to the Participant or any other person for any payment made under this Plan that is determined to result in an additional tax, penalty, or interest under Section 409A, nor for reporting in good faith any payment made under this Agreement as an amount includible in gross income under Section 409A.

(j) Section 280G of the Code. In the event that the accelerated vesting of the RSUs or the amounts payable under this Agreement, together with all other payments and the value of any benefit received or to be received by the Participant, would result in all or a portion of such payment being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Participant’s payment shall be either (a) the full payment or (b) such lesser amount that would result in no portion of the payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state, and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the Participant, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the payment may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Any such reduction shall be made by the Company in compliance with all applicable legal authority, including Section 409A. All determinations required to be made under this Section shall be made by the nationally recognized accounting firm which is the Company’s outside auditor immediately prior to the event triggering the payments that are subject to the Excise Tax, which firm must be reasonably acceptable to the Participant (the “Accounting Firm”). The Company shall cause the Accounting Firm to provide detailed supporting calculations of its determinations to the Company and the Participant. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. The Accounting Firm’s determinations must be made with substantial authority (within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code).

(k) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Maryland, without giving effect to the conflict of law provisions thereof. Any suit, action, or proceeding with respect to this Agreement (or any provision incorporated by reference), or any judgment entered by any court in respect of any thereof, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New Jersey or the State of Maryland, and each of the Participant and the Company hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding, or judgment. EACH OF THE PARTICIPANT AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

WAIVES (I) ANY OBJECTIONS WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY OR THE STATE OF MARYLAND, (II) ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN ANY INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND (III) ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

(l) Signature in Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
