Award Date: 5/7/2015
Total Number of Restricted Stock Units Awarded : 10,953
Vesting Schedule
One hundred percent (100%) of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest twelve (12) months after the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Units (the “Vesting Date”), provided you have continued your service as a Director through the Vesting Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you resign as Director, or cease to be a Director due to your death or disability, prior to the Vesting Date, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest immediately as of the date you cease to be a Director in a pro rata number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the product of the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days elapsed between the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Units and the date you cease to be a Director, and the denominator of which shall be 365.
Settlement
For each vested Restricted Stock Unit, you shall be entitled to receive (a) a number of whole Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that vest, (b) a cash payment equal to the product of the number of Restricted Stock Units that vest, multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date that the Restricted Stock Units vested or (c) a combination of the foregoing. Such payment shall be made in the form of whole Shares, cash or a combination of the foregoing at the Company’s discretion under the terms of the Plan, on or as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days following the earliest of the Vesting Date, the date of your death or the date of your “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

Forfeiture
Except as otherwise provided in the Vesting Schedule above, upon the date that you cease to be a Service Provider for any reason, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.
Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Units
The Restricted Stock Units may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement shall be binding upon your executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns.
Tax Obligations
You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social security, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company, if any. You further acknowledge that the Company (1) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares (or the cash equivalent) upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of this Award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company or its agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any withholding obligations with regard to Tax-Related Items by either or both of the following:
1.withholding from proceeds of the sale of the Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or
2.withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement or from the cash payment received at settlement (if any) of the Restricted Stock Units.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Xxxxx,
0
notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, you agree to pay the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares (or the cash equivalent) or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
