1. Grant of Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to the Director under the Plan the number of Stock Units indicated on the first page of this Agreement subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.
2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. On any date, a Stock Unit has a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share. Unless and until the Stock Units have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement, the Director will have no right to payment of the Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Stock Units, Stock Units represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.
3. Payment after Vesting. Stock Units that vest will be paid to the Director (or in the event of the Director’s death, to his or her estate) in full Shares (with the balance, if any, in cash) as soon as practicable following the date of vesting. A Director may elect, at the discretion of the Committee and in accordance with the Plan and rules established by the Committee, to defer delivery of the proceeds due with respect to his or her vested Stock Units.
4. Death of Director. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Director under this Agreement will, if the Director is then deceased, be made to the Director’s designated beneficiary.

Any such administrator or executor must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.
5. Withholding of Taxes. The Company will withhold a portion of the payment due with respect to vested Stock Units that has an aggregate market value sufficient to pay the federal, state, and local income, employment, and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no payment will be made to the Director (or his or her beneficiary or estate) for Stock Units unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Director with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes that the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to the Director’s vested Stock Units.
6. Rights as Stockholder. Subject to Paragraph 7, neither the Director nor any person claiming under or through the Director will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Director. After such issuance, recordation, and delivery, the Director will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares.
7. Dividends and Distributions. The Director shall be entitled to receive dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Stock Units. Any dividends or other distributions automatically shall be deemed reinvested in Stock Units (the “Dividend Stock Units”).
