9.Tax Withholding. In the event the Company is required to withhold taxes from the Grantee for taxable compensation relating to the issuance of shares of Stock in connection with this Award, the Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Subject to approval by the Administrator, the Company’s required tax withholding obligation may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the Company withholding from shares of Stock to be issued by the transfer agent, a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) that would satisfy the withholding amount due; provided, however, that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate or such lesser amount as is necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment or as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may also require this Award to be subject to mandatory share withholding up to the required withholding amount.

separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A‑1(h).

(b)The parties intend that this Award will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Award Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Award Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.

(c)The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Grantee or any other person if any provisions of this Awards are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

•Stock Price Milestone 2: Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Target Award will vest on the later of the date on which the VWAP equals or exceeds $12.50 per share and (b) two years from the Grant Date. No portion of this twenty-five percent (25%) of the Target Award will vest if the VWAP fails to equal or exceed $12.50 per share during the Performance Period.

•Stock Price Milestone 3: Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Target Award will vest on the later of the date on which the VWAP equals or exceeds $15.00 per share and (b) three years from the Grant Date. No portion of this twenty-five percent (25%) of the Target Award will vest if the VWAP fails to equal or exceed $15.00 per share during the Performance Period.

“Performance Period” means four (4) years from the Grant Date.

The Administrator shall appropriately and proportionately adjust the VWAP goal or any of the foregoing in the event of acquisitions and/or divestitures that occur during the Performance Period; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the Administrator determines, in its discretion, that it would be unnecessary or inappropriate to do so, including, but not limited to, the case of acquisitions and divestitures not involving a significant amount of

assets. Any such adjustment (or decision to not make an adjustment) shall be binding on the Grantee.

In the event of a Change in Control, the Stock Price Milestone shall be measured using the share price paid in the Change in Control (as opposed to the VWAP). Shares associated with any achieved Stock Price Milestone(s) shall vest. Any achievement between two stock price milestones will be interpolated. No shares will vest for stock price milestones not achieved.
