Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Associate the number of Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”) provided in the Grant Notice. The Company may make one or more additional grants of Restricted Stock Units to the Associate under these RSU T&Cs by providing the Associate with a new Grant Notice, which may also include any terms and conditions differing from these RSU T&Cs to the extent provided therein. The Company reserves all rights with respect to the granting of additional Restricted Stock Units and makes no implied promise to grant additional Restricted Stock Units. |

If a cash payment is made in lieu of issuing Shares in respect of such RSUs, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value per share of the Company Common Stock as of the applicable vesting date (or applicable date of settlement if clause (B) above is applicable). |
|
4. Treatment of RSUs Upon Termination. Unless otherwise (x) determined by the Administrator or (y) set forth in the Grant Notice, upon Termination of employment of the Associate: |
|
(a) all vesting with respect to the RSUs shall cease (after taking into account any vesting of Restricted Stock Units as set forth in the Grant Notice); and |
|
(b) the unvested RSUs shall be forfeited to the Company by the Associate as of the date of such Termination for no consideration. |
|
(a) Unless otherwise (x) determined by the Administrator or (y) set forth in the Grant Notice, no cancellation, acceleration of vesting or other payment shall occur with respect to any RSU in connection with a Change in Control occurring prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, if the Administrator reasonably determines prior to the Change in Control that the Associate shall receive an “Alternative Award” meeting the requirements of the Plan; provided, however, that if within two years following a Change in Control, the
1
|
Associate’s employment is involuntarily (other than for Cause) terminated or the Associate resigns with Good Reason (as defined below), at a time when any portion of the Alternative Award is unvested, the unvested portion of such Alternative Award shall immediately vest in full and such Associate shall be provided with either cash or marketable stock equal to the fair market value of the stock subject to the Alternative Award on the date of termination. |
|
(b) For purposes hereof, “Good Reason” means, without the Associate’s written consent, the occurrence of any of the following events: |
|
(i) The reduction in any material respect in the Associate’s position(s), authorities or responsibilities that the Associate had with the Company immediately prior to the time of the Change in Control; |
|
(ii) A material reduction in the Associate’s annual rate of base salary, annual target cash bonus opportunity or annual target long-term incentive opportunity, each in effect as of immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control; or |
|
(iii) A material change in the location of the Associate’s location of work which will be at least more than 50 miles from the Associate’s place at work at the Company immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control. |
If the Associate determines that Good Reason exists, the Associate must notify the Company in writing, within ninety (90) days following the initial existence of such grounds that the Associate determines constitutes Good Reason, or else such event shall not constitute Good Reason under the terms of the Associate’s employment. If the Company remedies such event within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, the Associate may not terminate employment for Good Reason as a result of such event (the “Cure Period”). In the event the Company does not timely remedy such event, the Associate must terminate his employment ninety (90) days following the end of the Cure Period.

6. Dividend Equivalents. If the Company pays any cash dividend or similar cash distribution on the Company Common Stock, the Company shall credit to the Associate’s account with additional RSUs in an amount equal to (a) the product of (i) the number of the Associate’s RSUs as of the record date for such distribution times (ii) the per share amount of such dividend or similar cash distribution on Company Common Stock, divided by (b) the Fair Market Value on the date such additional RSUs are so credited, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. If the Company makes any dividend or other distribution on the Company Common Stock in the form of Company Common Stock or other securities, the Company will credit the Associate’s account with that number of additional shares of Company Common Stock or other securities that would have been distributed with respect to that number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Associate’s RSUs as of the record date thereof. Any cash amounts or shares of Company Common Stock or other securities credited to the Associate’s account shall be paid to the Associate on the applicable settlement date. |
|
7. Restriction on Transfer; Non-Transferability of RSUs. The RSUs are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and they may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including, but not limited to, by gift, operation of law or otherwise). Except as otherwise provided herein, no assignment or transfer of the RSUs, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest

|
9. Restrictive Covenant Agreement. The Associate acknowledges and agrees that as a condition of receipt of the grant of the RSUs the Associate shall execute and deliver to the Company a Noncompetition, Assignment of Work Product and Confidentiality Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The Associate acknowledges that the Associate has read and understands such covenants, including, specifically, the scope and duration thereof, and acknowledges and agrees that the terms of such Restrictive Covenant Agreement are in consideration for the Associate’s receipt of the grant of the RSUs under the Grant Notice, the Associate’s receipt of other benefits provided in the Grant Notice, these RSU T&Cs, the Plan and elsewhere, and the Associate’s access to Confidential Information (as defined in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement). The Restrictive Covenant Agreement is in addition to and does not supersede any other agreements between the Associate and the Company and its Subsidiaries prohibiting competition with the Company and its Subsidiaries. No provisions in the Plan shall narrow the restrictions of, or terminate, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement and in the event of any inconsistency between the Restrictive Covenant Agreement and the Plan, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall govern.
