XXXX XXXXX, INC. 1996 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

Xxxx Xxxxx, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to you (the “Participant”), pursuant to the Xxxx Xxxxx, Inc. 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), an award (the “Award”) of restricted share units (“RSUs”), upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth below. Each RSU will constitute a right to receive, upon and subject to vesting of such RSU, one share of Common Stock (the shares of Common Stock distributable upon the vesting of RSUs hereunder are referred to herein as “Shares”). This document constitutes Participant’s “Award Notification”. By electronically accepting the Award, you are acknowledging your acceptance of the Award subject to the restrictions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The number of RSUs included in the Award shall be as set forth on the third party website pursuant to which this Award Notification is electronically delivered to Participant and in the books and records of the Company, which shall control, absent manifest error, in the event of a discrepancy. The Grant Date for this Award shall for all purposes be May 15, 2017.

This Award is subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Plan. Such provisions are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Capitalized terms that are not defined in Section 5.7 below are defined in the Plan and shall have the meanings specified in the Plan.

In addition to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan, all terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement are applicable to the Award granted hereby.

1. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.

Until the RSUs subject to this Award have vested under Section 3 and the underlying Shares have been distributed under Section 2, Participant shall have no ordinary rights as a stockholder with respect to the RSUs or such Shares other than the right to receive dividend or distribution equivalents on the RSUs as set out below. Therefore, until the RSUs subject to this Award have vested and underlying Shares have been distributed, Participant shall have no rights to receive, vote, take possession of or transfer the Shares. Commencing on the Grant Date, Participant shall have the right to receive dividend and other distribution equivalents with respect to the Shares underlying unvested RSUs that are the subject of this Award unless and until such RSUs are forfeited pursuant to Section 3 hereof; provided, however, that for any dividend or other distribution (including, without limitation, a stock dividend or stock split) on shares of Common Stock that is not a cash dividend or distribution, the dividend or distribution equivalent shall be delivered to the Company, shall be held by the Company in accordance with Section 2 below and shall be subject to the same vesting schedule and other restrictions as the RSUs with respect to which such dividend or other distribution equivalent relates. In connection with the payment of such dividend or other distributions equivalents the Company may deduct any taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over to such authority for the account of Participant or may include such dividend or distribution equivalent in the payroll of Participant’s employer so that such dividend or distribution equivalent is included within the

compensation of Participant for withholding and other taxation purposes. Participant shall be entitled to retain cash dividend and distribution equivalents received regardless of whether the RSUs with respect to which such dividend or distribution equivalents were made are subsequently forfeited pursuant to Section 3 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, RSUs shall at all times be subject to the restrictions on transferability contained in Section 4.1 hereof.

2. CUSTODY AND DELIVERY OF RSUS AND UNDERLYING SHARES.

RSUs subject to this Award shall be held solely on the books and records of the Company and shall remain as such until the RSUs have vested under Section 3 hereof. Participant may not receive or take possession of any Shares underlying unvested RSUs subject to this Award, either through physical share certificates or through book-entry accounts held by, or in the name of, Participant. The Company shall not allow any transfers of RSUs subject to this Award. Upon the vesting of any RSUs subject to this Award pursuant to Section 3, the Company will issue to Participant one share of Common Stock for each vested RSU, at which point each such vested RSU will terminate. The Company shall deliver Shares underlying RSUs subject to this Award that have vested pursuant to Section 3 below to Participant through book entry transfer to an account in Participant’s name at a financial institution that is selected by the Company. Share certificates representing distributed Shares shall not be issued by the Company until such Shares have been delivered to Participant’s account as specified above. Participant hereby authorizes the Company, and any financial institution at which the Company or Participant establishes an account to which the Shares underlying RSUs subject to this Award will be distributed, to transfer any Shares underlying vested RSUs to Participant’s account as discussed above. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to the delivery of any Shares hereunder; provided that the Company shall not pay the expenses related to any sale of Shares received upon vesting of RSUs subject to this Award, regardless of whether such sale is made to satisfy expenses or withholding or other taxes

3. VESTING AND FORFEITURE.

(a)    Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in Section 3(b) of this Agreement, twenty-five percent (25%) of the RSUs subject to Participant’s Award shall vest and be distributed in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2 (to “vest”) on each of April 30, 2018, April 30, 2019, April 30, 2020 and April 30, 2021 (each, a “Vesting Date”).

(b)    Participant’s right to vest in this Award is conditioned upon Participant’s continuous employment with the Firm, except to the limited extent to which vesting may continue following a termination of Participant’s employment as provided below. If Participant’s continuous employment with the Firm terminates or is interrupted for any reason stated below, Participant’s rights with respect to the Award shall be affected as follows:

(1) Resignation. Except as otherwise provided below, or otherwise agreed by the Committee, if Participant resigns or otherwise terminates his or her employment with the Firm for any reason, Participant’s unvested Award shall be forfeited and Participant’s vested but undistributed Award (if any) shall be distributed to Participant in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

(2) Disability. Upon termination of Participant’s employment with the Firm by reason of his or her Disability, on the date of such termination, Participant’s unvested Award shall be 100% vested and Shares underlying such vested RSUs shall be distributed to Participant in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

(3) Death. Upon termination of Participant’s employment with the Firm due to death, on the date of such termination, Participant’s unvested Award shall be 100% vested and Shares underlying such vested RSUs shall be distributed to Participant’s beneficiaries under Section 4.2 hereof in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

(4) Termination for Cause. Upon termination of Participant’s employment by the Firm for Cause, Participant’s unvested Award shall be immediately forfeited.

(5) Change of Control. In the event that a Change of Control occurs and within 12 months of such Change of Control (i) the Participant’s employment with the Firm is terminated by the Firm without Cause or (ii) the Participant terminates his or her employment with the Firm for Good Reason, then, as of the date of such termination, Participant’s unvested Award shall be 100% vested and Shares underlying such vested RSUs shall be distributed to Participant in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

(6) Termination without Cause. Except as otherwise specified in this Section 3(b), upon a termination of Participant’s employment by the Firm without Cause, Participant’s unvested Award shall be immediately forfeited.

(7) Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. If Participant’s employment with the Firm terminates before the date on which all RSUs subject to Participant’s Award have vested and (i) the reason for such termination is Participant’s retirement pursuant to Section 7.1 (or any successor retirement provision) of the Xxxx Xxxxx Profit Sharing Plan and (ii) such termination of employment is without Cause, then the unvested portion of Participant’s Award shall continue to vest in accordance with Section 3(a) as long as Participant does not engage in Competitive Activity. If Participant engages in Competitive Activity, then the portion of Participant’s Award that is unvested at the time Participant engages in such activity shall be immediately forfeited. In the event of Participant’s death during the period in which unvested Awards are continuing to vest under this clause (7), then, as of the date the Company becomes aware of such death, Participant’s unvested Award shall be 100% vested and Shares underlying such vested RSUs shall be distributed to Participant in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

(8) Reduction in Workforce. If Participant’s employment with the Firm terminates before the date on which all RSUs subject to Participant’s Award have vested and (i) such termination is due to the elimination of Participant’s employment in connection with a reduction in workforce by the Firm and (ii) such termination of employment is without Cause, , Participant’s unvested Award shall be 100% vested and Shares underlying such vested RSUs shall be distributed to Participant in accordance with Section 2 hereof; provided, however, that in the event that Participant fails to sign a general release of claims provided by the Company, or Participant signs and revokes such release within the time permitted by law to revoke such release, then any Shares received in connection with the RSUs that became vested on such termination shall be cancelled and Participant shall return such Shares to the Company. Participant agrees that the Company may enforce the cancellation by all legal means available, including, without limitation, by withholding the value of the canceled Shares from other sums owed to Participant by the Company.

To the extent that Section 409A of the Code applies to the vesting or distribution of any RSUS or underlying Shares hereunder, then any vesting or distribution made in connection with or following the Participant's separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder) shall not be made earlier than the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant's separation from service, or if earlier the date of death of the Participant. Any vesting or distribution that is delayed in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall be made on the first business day following the expiration of such six (6) month period.

4. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE AWARD.

4.1. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF RSUS.

RSUs may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any such attempted sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance, or other disposition of any such RSUs shall be null and void.

4.2. BENEFICIARIES.

Participant may designate in writing, on a form to be prescribed by and filed with the Committee, a beneficiary to receive all or part of the Shares to be distributed under the Plan in the event of Participant’s death. A designation of a beneficiary may be replaced by a new designation or may be revoked by Participant at any time and in accordance with such rules and procedures established by the Committee on a form prescribed by and filed with the Committee. In the event of Participant’s death, Shares due under the Plan in respect of RSUs with respect to which a designation of a beneficiary has been made (to the extent it is valid and enforceable under applicable law) shall be distributed in accordance with the Plan to the designated beneficiary. Distributions due under the Plan and not subject to a beneficiary designation shall be distributed

to Participant’s estate. If there is any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive any distribution under the Plan, the distribution in question may be made in the sole discretion of the Committee to the estate of Participant, in which event the Firm shall have no further liability to anyone with respect to such distribution. Distribution to the executors or administrators of the estate of Participant may be conditioned on the delivery to the Committee of such tax waivers, letters testamentary and other documents as the Committee may reasonably request.

4.3. RIGHT OF SET OFF.

Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee, the Firm and the Company may offset any amounts that Participant may owe to the Firm against the shares subject to a Participant’s Award and any distributions that would have otherwise been made to Participant under the Plan.

4.4. CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY.

In lieu of receiving documents in paper format, Participant hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that the Firm elects to or is required to deliver (including, but not limited to, the Prospectus related to Participant’s Award, any supplements to that Prospectus, award notifications and agreements, account statements, monthly or annual reports, and all other forms or communications) in connection with Participant’s Award. Electronic delivery of a document to Participant may be via a Firm e-mail system or by reference to a location on a Firm intranet site or a third-party’s Internet site to which Participant has access.

4.5. SECURITIES LAWS.

Participant hereby represents and covenants that if in the future Participant decides to offer or dispose of any Shares distributed with respect to vested RSUs subject to this Award or interest therein, Participant shall do so only in compliance with this Agreement, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable state and local national securities laws as appropriate. As a condition precedent to the delivery to Participant of any Shares underlying vested RSUs subject to this Award, Participant shall comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of or supervision over the issuance of the Shares and, in connection therewith, shall execute any documents and make any representation and warranty to the Company which the Committee shall in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable.

4.6. ADJUSTMENT.

In the event that there occurs (a) any change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock through the declaration of dividends, stock splits or the like or through any change in the capital account of the Company or any other transaction referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code or (b) any other change in the capital structure of the Company or in the Common Stock, then, if applicable, the number of RSUs subject to this award, and, if applicable, number and class of underlying Shares, shall be adjusted as provided in the Plan. Any decision of the Committee regarding the amount and timing of any adjustment shall be final and conclusive.

4.7. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.

This Award is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares distributed with respect to RSUs subject to this Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the vesting of RSUs or delivery of underlying Shares hereunder, the RSUs or underlying Shares may not be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. The Company agrees to make every reasonable effort to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.

By signing the Award Notification, however, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she is and remains responsible for any local compliance requirements or regulations in relation to the receipt, ownership and possible subsequent sale of the Company’s Common Stock. The Participant also agrees that he or she is responsible for any local compliance requirements or regulations in relation to the opening and use of a U.S. brokerage account.

4.8. WITHHOLDING; TAX MATTERS

(a)    The Company may, and the Participant hereby authorizes the Company to, deduct an amount determined by the Company up to the maximum respective statutory rates to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements arising in connection with this Award, from payments of any kind by the Company or its subsidiaries to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled, including without limitation, salary, bonus and other compensation. Alternatively, with respect to RSUs that have vested, the Participant may elect (i) to remit to the Company by check an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax requirements, prior to the delivery of Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof, or (ii) to surrender to the Company (via an instruction, given to the Company prior to the delivery of Shares pursuant to Section 2, to deduct from delivery of Shares underlying vested RSUs) a number of Shares underlying the vested RSUs with a market value, as determined by the Company, equal to the amount of the applicable withholding tax requirements (which may be up to the maximum respective statutory rates); provided that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may at any time prohibit the Participant from utilizing the method to provide for withholding taxes specified in this clause (ii). However, if Participant fails to either provide the check or, if applicable, provide the share deduction instruction described in the prior sentence, in each case by the date any withholding tax with respect to any RSUs or underlying Shares is due, the Company shall, and Participant hereby authorizes the Company to, withhold delivery of underlying Shares or deduct amounts determined by the Company to be withheld up to the maximum statutory rates from payments of any kind by the company or its subsidiaries to which Participant would otherwise be entitled, including without limitation, salary, bonus and other compensation. Participant acknowledges that in the event the preceding sentence applies, the Company shall act in its sole discretion without any liability to the Participant resulting from the action or the timing under which the Company carries out the action.

(b)    The Company reserves the right to make whatever further arrangements it deems appropriate for the withholding of taxes in connection with any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan, including, without limitation, providing for payments of withholding taxes by deducting amounts required to be withheld, plus interest thereon, from

payments of any kind by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to which Participant would otherwise be entitled.

4.9. AWARD CONFERS NO RIGHTS TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT OR FUTURE AWARDS.

Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for a specified period of time or interfere with the right of the Company and its subsidiaries to terminate such employment at any time. In addition, neither the Plan nor this Agreement confers any right upon the Participant to receive future awards under the Plan. All future awards, if any, are completely at the discretion of the Company. Moreover, any awards granted under the Plan are not part of the Participant’s ordinary compensation, employment agreement, if any, or working relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates and will therefore not be considered as part of such compensation, agreement or relationship in the event of severance, redundancy or resignation, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

4.10. CLAWBACK PROVISIONS

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Award is expressly made subject to the terms of the Xxxx Xxxxx, Inc. Clawback Policy as adopted by the Committee. As a result, Participant may be required to return to the Company the RSUs received in this Award, and the underlying Shares (or the value thereof), in the situations described below. Participant agrees that the Company may enforce the forfeiture by all legal means available, including, without limitation, by withholding the forfeited amount from other sums owed to Participant by the Firm.

In the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results within three years of original reporting to correct a material error, then, if the Xxxx Xxxxx, Inc. Board of Directors determines that Participant’s acts or omissions were a significant contributing factor to the need to issue such restatement and that all or any portion of Participant’s RSUs, if the Award was made prior to the restatement, would not have been awarded based upon the restated financial results, then Participant agrees to forfeit and return to the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the portion (which may be all) of the RSUs or the underlying Shares or value thereof (regardless of whether vesting has occurred and underlying Shares distributed to Participant) that the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines to be appropriate.

In the event that Participant’s employment is terminated by the Firm for a Clawback Event or (ii) following the termination of Participant’s employment, the Company is or becomes aware that Participant committed an act that would have given rise to a termination for a Clawback Event, then, in either event, Participant agrees to forfeit to the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the portion (which may be all) of the RSUs or the underlying Shares or value thereof (regardless of whether vesting has occurred and underlying Shares distributed to Participant), that Participant was awarded after the conduct or omission that gave rise to the Clawback Event and that the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines to be appropriate.

5. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

5.1. SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company and any person or persons who shall, upon the death of Participant, acquire any rights hereunder.

At all times, Company personnel and third parties shall be obligated to maintain the confidentiality of Participant’s personal information except to the extent the Company is required to provide such information to governmental agencies or other parties. Such action shall always be undertaken only in accordance with applicable law.
