Number of
Restricted Stock Units Vesting Date
(XXX) March 4, 2022
Except as otherwise specifically provided in a written agreement between the Company and the Awardee, this Award shall be subject to adjustment in connection with a Change in Control as provided in Section 14 of the Plan as determined in the Administrator’s sole discretion. This Award shall not automatically vest upon a Change in Control.
2. Deferral of Award.
(a) Each vested RSU entitles Awardee to receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Stock”) on the later of (i) the vesting date for such RSU or (ii) the end of the deferral period specified by Awardee. (If no deferral period is specified on the Deferral Election Form, Stock will be issued as soon as practicable (but not more than thirty (30) days) following vesting of the RSUs, as determined in the Committee’s sole discretion).
(b) Shares of Stock underlying the RSUs shall be issued and delivered to Awardee in accordance with paragraph (a) and upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on Awardee.
(c) Until such time as shares of Stock have been issued to Awardee pursuant to paragraph (b) above, and except as set forth in paragraph (d) below regarding dividends and dividend equivalents, Awardee shall not have any rights as a holder of the shares of Stock underlying this Award including but not limited to voting rights.
(d) Until such time as RSUs have vested pursuant to the terms hereof, dividend equivalents shall be accrued with respect to each share of Stock underlying the RSUs such that, upon
Page 1 of 1
DM_US 158397988-1.106914.0011
settlement of such RSUs in shares of Stock, all dividend equivalents so accrued (without interest) shall be paid in cash to Awardee. In addition, with respect to RSUs which have vested but have not been converted into shares of Stock pursuant to a valid deferral election by Awardee, dividends on the shares of Stock underlying such RSUs shall be paid in cash to Awardee upon settlement of such RSUs in shares of Stock.
3. Termination of Employment or Other Business Relationship. If Awardee's employment by or other business relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary (as defined in the Plan) is terminated for any reason except as otherwise set forth in Section VI. of the MSP , Awardee’s right in any RSUs that are not vested shall automatically terminate upon the effective date of such termination of employment or other business relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries and such RSUs shall be cancelled as provided within the terms of the Plan and MSP, and shall be of no further force and effect. Except as specifically provided to the contrary in Section VI of the MSP, Awardee’s sole rights with respect to the cancelled RSUs shall be to receive a return of the bonus or retainer deferral. The Administrator’s determination of the reason for termination of the Awardee’s employment shall be conclusive and binding on the Awardee and his or her representatives or legatees. The Administrator for purposes of this Award shall be the Compensation Committee of the Board unless determined otherwise under the Plan.
4. Clawback Provision. If Awardee is an employee of the Company, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Awardee hereby acknowledges and agrees that any compensation payable under this Agreement is subject to any clawback policy of the Company currently in effect or adopted in the future providing for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive compensation in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement (“Restatement”) due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws, and the Awardee hereby agrees to repay the Company to the extent required by such clawback policy of the Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, in the event that any such Restatement with respect to Fiscal 2018 becomes necessary within three (3) years of the date of this Award, the amount of the Award shall be reduced to that number of RSUs to which Awardee would have been entitled based on what the Awardee’s actual annual incentive bonus achievement would have been for Fiscal 2018 after giving effect to such Restatement.
5. Section 409A. Payments under this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Awardee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code of 1986 the Company determines that the Awardee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Awardee becomes entitled to under this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided any earlier than the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Awardee’s separation from service, or (B) the Awardee’s death. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall be liable to the Awardee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Awardee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Awardee might owe as a result of participation in the Plan, and the Company and its affiliates shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Awardee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.
6. Incorporation of Plan and MSP. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and the MSP. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan and the MSP, unless a different meaning is specified herein.
7. Transferability. This Agreement is personal to Awardee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Award is available, during Awardee's lifetime, only to Awardee, and thereafter, only to Awardee's designated beneficiary or estate.
8. Tax Withholding. If Awardee is an employee, Awardee shall, not later than the date as of which the Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Awardee may elect, subject to the approval of the
Page 2 of 2
DM_US 158397988-1.106914.0011
Administrator, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold such number of shares of Stock elected by the Participant not in excess of the maximum amount required for federal, state and local tax withholding attributable to the settlement of this Award. The Company is authorized to satisfy the minimum tax withholding obligation by withholding from shares of Stock to be issued a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the minimum required tax withholding amount due.
9. Non-Compete/Non-Solicitation Agreement. Awardee is receiving the Award provided for herein in part because the Company has determined that Awardee is a key contributor to the continued success of the Company. As such, Awardee is privy to certain proprietary information which the Company considers to be competition sensitive. The Company, therefore, would be materially harmed were Awardee to leave the Company and perform services on behalf of a competitor or if the Awardee were to solicit (i) customers to do business with a competitor of the Company or (ii) employees of the Company to leave the Company. Accordingly, in consideration of Awardee’s receipt of the Award, Awardee covenants and agrees that, for a period of two (2) years following the termination of Awardee’s affiliation with the Company (whether as an employee or non-employee director), Awardee shall not, anywhere in the world, own, manage, operate, join, control, promote, invest or participate in or be connected with in any capacity (either as an employee, employer, trustee, consultant, agent, principal, partner, corporate officer, director, creditor, owner or shareholder or in any other individual or representative capacity) with any business individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity which is engaged wholly or partly in the design, manufacture, development, distribution, marketing or sales of any products which compete with the Company’s then current lines of business for which Awardee, during the two year period immediately preceding termination of affiliation with the Company, had managerial responsibility or otherwise provided regular services. Awardee agrees that this provision is reasonable in view of the relevant market for the Company’s products and services and that any breach hereof would result in continuing and irreparable harm to the Company. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent Awardee from making passive investments in a competitive enterprise whose shares are publicly traded if such investment constitutes less than five percent (5%) of such enterprise’s outstanding capital stock. In addition, Awardee, for a period of two years following the termination of Awardee’s affiliation with the Company shall not directly or indirectly (1) induce, solicit, request or advise any Customers (as defined below) to patronize any business which competes with any business of the Company for which Awardee either (a) has had any management responsibility, (b) has otherwise provided regular services during his affiliation with Company, or (c) has had access to confidential or proprietary information; or (2) entice, solicit, request or advise any employee of the Company to leave the Company’s employment or to otherwise accept employment (or other affiliation) with any person, firm or business with which Awardee has an employment or consulting relationship. As used above, “Customers” means all customers of any such business of the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 9, if Awardee is an employee or resident of a state in which non-compete provisions of the type set forth in this paragraph 9 are not enforceable, then the non-compete provisions of this paragraph 9 shall not apply; the non-solicitation provisions of this paragraph 9, however, shall continue to apply. In addition, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 9 are impermissible in scope and/or duration, Awardee and the Company intend that such court shall revise such scope and/or duration as the court deems reasonable rather than invalidating any such restrictions.
10. Effect of Employment Agreement. If Awardee is a party to an employment agreement with the Company and any provisions set forth in such employment agreement conflict with the provisions set forth in this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, the provisions set forth in such employment agreement shall override such conflicting provisions set forth herein.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notice hereunder shall be given to the Company at its principal place of business, and shall be given to Awardee at the address set forth below, or in either case at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.
(b) This Award does not confer upon Awardee any rights with respect to continuance of employment or dictatorship by the Company or any Subsidiary.

(c) Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee may at any time amend or cancel any outstanding portion of this Award, but no such action may be taken which adversely affects Awardee's rights under this Agreement without Awardee's consent.
