NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

4.Settlement of RSUs.

a.At the time of Xxxxx, the Committee may permit the Participant to defer the settlement of the RSUs by offering such Participant a deferral election form. Unless the Participant timely and properly elects to defer the settlement of his or her RSUs and designates a deferred settlement date in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and such other rules and procedures as the Board deems advisable, the Company shall fully settle a Participant’s vested RSUs within thirty (30) days following the date any portion of the Award of RSUs become vested. If a Participant timely and properly elects to defer the settlement of his or her RSUs, the Company shall settle the RSUS within thirty (30) days of the earliest of: (i) the deferred settlement date designated by the Participant; (ii) the date of the Participant’s death; or (iii) the date of a Change in Control.

b.On such settlement date, the Company shall deliver either (i) a certificate evidencing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the same number of vested RSUs; (ii) cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share, as of the settlement date, for each vested RSU; or (iii) a combination of both.

5.Conditions. By acceptance of this RSU award, the Participant hereby releases any rights and/or claims the Participant may have associated with, or in any way related to, any equity awards granted by the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date of the Plan.

6.Non-transferability. All RSUs, and any rights or interests therein, (a) shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way at any time by the Participant (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Participant), other than by testamentary disposition by the Participant or by the laws of descent and distribution, (b) shall not be pledged or encumbered in any way at any time by the Participant (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Participant) and (c) shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar legal process. Any attempt to sell, exchange, pledge, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of this RSU, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal process upon this RSU, contrary to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Plan, shall be null and void and without legal force or effect. For RSUs settled in Common Stock, during the period commencing on the date the RSUs become vested and terminating two (2) years thereafter, the Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber such Common Stock.

7.Entire Agreement; Amendment.
