GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The terms and conditions of the award of Units made to the Participant, as set forth in the Notice of Grant that forms part of this agreement (the “Notice of Grant”), are as follows:
1. Grant of Units.
(a) Grant. For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the Company has granted to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement and in the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), an award with respect to the number of Units set forth in the Notice of Grant. Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) upon vesting of the Unit, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon vesting of the Units are referred to in this agreement as “Shares.” The Participant agrees that the Units shall be subject to vesting as set forth in Section 2 of this agreement.
(b) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Participant ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, before the Units vest, in accordance with Section 2 of this agreement, in full, all the Units that are unvested as of the time of such employment termination (after giving effect to any vesting that occurs upon such termination pursuant to Section 2 of this agreement) shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.
2. Vesting. The Units will vest as provided in (a) through (d) below:

(b) Death or Permanent Disability. 100% of the Units will vest upon the death or permanent disability of the Participant on or before the date the Participant would have become vested in the Units pursuant to paragraph (a) above. The Participant shall be deemed to be permanently disabled if the Participant has been unable to perform the Participant’s duties for the Company for a six consecutive month period and if the Participant is entitled to long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long term disability plan, as determined by the long term disability carrier.
(c) Change in Control Event. 100% of any remaining unvested Units will vest upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event on or before the date the Participant would have become vested in the Units pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

3. Payment.
(a) As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting dates of the Units pursuant to Section 2(a) above, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month of the year following the calendar year in which the applicable Units vest, the Company shall distribute to the Participant (or to the Participant’s estate in the event of death) one Share of Common Stock in settlement of each Unit that vested on such vesting date, subject to reduction pursuant to Section 3(d).

(c) In the case of vesting pursuant to Section 2(d) above (other than in the case of the death of the Participant), the Company shall distribute to the Participant one Share of Common Stock in settlement of each Unit within the 60-day period following the date such Unit would have vested had the Participant remained employed with the Company, subject to reduction pursuant to Section 3(d).
(d) On each date on which Units vest hereunder, the Participant will satisfy the tax withholding obligation due on such date through the retention by the Company of Shares subject to Units scheduled to vest on such date. Accordingly, the Participant hereby instructs the Company to take whatever action is necessary or advisable such that, with no further action by the Participant, on date on which Units vest hereunder, the Company deducts from the Shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be distributed to the participant pursuant to Section 3(a) or (b) with respect to such vesting of Units a number of Shares with a value equal to the Company’s
ActiveUS 201960760v.2 4
Time-Vested RSU (Single Trigger)
minimum statutory withholding obligations, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that result from the vesting of Units on such date hereunder, with the value of one Share for such purpose being equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day preceding the vesting date.
(e) As of the date hereof, the Participant is not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company or its common stock. The Participant has entered into the commitments described in Section 3(d) in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It is the intention of the Participant that Section 3(d) comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Section 3(d) shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of such rule.
(f) The Company shall not be obligated to issue to the Participant the Shares upon the vesting of any Unit (or otherwise) unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements including, without limitation, any applicable federal or state securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be issued.
4. Restrictions on Transfer. The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”) any Units except by the will or the laws of descent and distribution, and no amounts deferred under this agreement, or any rights therein, shall be subject in any manner to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, levy, lien, attachment, garnishment, debt or other charge or disposition of any kind.
5. Dividend and Other Shareholder Rights. Except as set forth in the Plan, neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant shall be, or have any rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect to the Shares issuable pursuant to the Units granted hereunder until the Shares have been delivered to the Participant.
6. Provisions of the Plan. This agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this agreement.
7. Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc.
(a) If from time to time during the term of this agreement, there is any stock split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend, stock distribution, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization event or other reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than a normal cash dividend, then a Unit shall become the right to receive, subject to the vesting and payment provisions described herein, any and all such new, substituted or additional securities or cash as if the Unit represented a share of Common Stock.
(b) If the Shares are converted into or exchanged for, or stockholders of the Company receive by reason of any distribution in total or partial liquidation, securities of another corporation, or other property (including cash), pursuant to any merger of the Company or acquisition of its assets, other than one that constitutes a Change in Control Event for the purposes of Section 2 of this agreement, then the rights of the Company under this agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and a Unit shall become the right to receive, subject to the vesting and payment provisions described herein, any and all such new, substituted or additional securities or cash as if the Unit represented a share of Common Stock.

(m) Clawback Policy. By accepting this award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that this award is subject to the provisions of any applicable compensation clawback or recovery policy that the Company has in effect or may adopt in the future. The Participant agrees that in the event it is determined in accordance with any such policy that any compensation or compensatory award granted, earned or paid to the Participant under this agreement must be forfeited or reimbursed to the Company, the Participant will promptly take any action necessary to effectuate such forfeiture and/or reimbursement as directed by the Company.
