TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE SHARES

1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan an award of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan. As of the date of grant, the Employee is an executive officer of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act. The number of Performance Shares in which the Employee may vest shall depend upon achievement of [INSERT DESCRIPTION OF PERFORMANCE GOALS] for the Performance Period and shall be determined in accordance with the Performance Target, attached hereto as Appendix B. The number of the Performance Shares that become eligible to vest shall be certified by the Committee following the end of the Performance Period and the review and approval of the Company’s earnings results by the Company’s Audit Committee. When Shares are paid to the Employee in payment for the Performance Shares, par value will be deemed paid by the Employee for each Performance Share by past services rendered by the Employee, and will be subject to the appropriate tax withholdings. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

(a) As used herein, [INSERT APPLICABLE DEFINITIONS].

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Performance Share has a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that the Performance Share is granted. Unless and until the Performance Shares have vested in the manner set forth in paragraphs 3 through 5, the Employee will have no right to payment of such Performance Shares. Prior to actual payment of any vested Performance Shares, such Performance Shares will represent an unsecured obligation. Payment of any vested Performance Shares shall be made in whole Shares only.

3. Vesting Schedule/Period of Restriction. Except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5, and subject to paragraph 7, the Performance Shares awarded by this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth on the first page of this Agreement.

4. Modifications to Vesting Schedule.

(a) Vesting upon Leave of Absence. In the event that the Employee takes an authorized leave of absence (“LOA”), the Performance Shares awarded by this Agreement that are scheduled to vest shall be modified as follows:

(i) if the duration of the Employee’s LOA is sixty (60) days or less, the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement shall not be affected by the Employee’s LOA.

(ii) if the duration of the Employee’s LOA is greater than sixty (60) days, the scheduled vesting of any Performance Shares awarded by this Agreement that are not then vested shall be deferred for a period of time equal to the duration of the Employee’s LOA.

(b) Death or Disability of Employee. In the event that the Employee incurs a Termination of Service due to his or her death or Disability during a Performance Period, [INSERT DESCRIPTION OF VESTING CONDITIONS].

In the event that any applicable law limits the Company’s ability to accelerate the vesting of this award of Performance Shares, this paragraph 4(b) shall be limited to the extent required to comply with applicable law.

(c) Change in Control.

(i) In the event of a Change in Control, this award shall be subject to the definitive agreement governing such Change in Control. Such agreement, without the Employee’s consent and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or the Plan, must provide for one of the following: (a) the assumption of this award by the surviving corporation or its parent; (b) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of an award with substantially the same terms as this award; or (c) the cancellation of this award after payment to the Employee in Shares of an amount equal to the Performance Shares subject to this award at the time of the Change in Control. In the event the definitive agreement does not provide for one of the foregoing alternatives with respect to the treatment of this award, this award shall have the treatment specified in clause (c) of the preceding sentence. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of this award in connection with any of the foregoing alternatives. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 0000 Xxx) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; (b) the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (c) a change in the composition of the Board occurring within a one-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors; or (d) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation. “Incumbent Directors” means directors who either (A) are Directors as of the effective date of the Plan, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but will not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a party to a change of control agreement with the Company, the definition of “change of control” as defined in the change of control agreement will supersede the above definition.

-4-

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Employee incurs a Termination of Service within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control on account of a termination by the Company (or any Subsidiary) for any reason other than Cause or on account of a termination by the Employee for Good Reason, then this award immediately will vest in one hundred percent (100%) of the Performance Shares subject to this Performance Share award.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means without the Employee’s written consent (a) a material reduction in the Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities compared to the Employee’s authority, duties and responsibilities immediately prior to the Change of Control that are substantially inconsistent with the Employee being a senior executive of the Company (or a Subsidiary), (b) the Employee’s principal work location being moved more than 35 miles, from the location immediately prior to the Change in Control or (c) the Company (or a Subsidiary) materially reducing the Employee’s base salary (unless the base salaries of substantially all other senior executives of the Company are similarly reduced). Employee will not resign for Good Reason without first providing the Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the grounds for “Good Reason” and the Company must have an opportunity within thirty (30) days following delivery of such notice to cure the Good Reason condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a party to a change of control agreement with the Company, the definition of “good reason” as defined in the change of control agreement will supersede the above definition.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means (a) the Employee’s failure to perform (other than due to Disability or death) the duties of the Employee’s position (as they may exist from time to time) to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company (or any Subsidiary) after receipt of a written warning and at least 15 days’ opportunity to for the Employee to cure the failure, (b) any act of dishonesty taken by the Employee in connection with the Employee’s responsibilities as an employee that is intended to result in the Employee’s substantial personal enrichment, (c) the Employee’s conviction or plea of no contest to a crime that negatively reflects on the Employee’s fitness to perform the Employee’s duties or xxxxx the Company’s (or any Subsidiary’s) reputation or business, (d) the Employee’s willful misconduct that is injurious to the Company (or any Subsidiary), or (e) the Employee’s willful violation of a material Company (or Subsidiary) policy. The preceding definition shall not be deemed to be inclusive of all the acts or omissions that the Company (or any Subsidiary) may consider as grounds for the dismissal or discharge of the Employee or any other individual in the service of the Company (or any Subsidiary). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a party to a change of control agreement with the Company, the definition of “cause” as defined in the change of control agreement will supersede the above definition.

(iii) In the event of a Change in Control during any Performance Period, all Performance Periods shall be deemed to end immediately prior to the Change in Control and the number of Performance Shares in which the Employee shall be entitled to vest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Vesting Schedule set forth on the Notice of Grant shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Target Number of Performance Shares (as set forth on the Notice of Grant) less the number of vested Performance Shares.

5. Committee Discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Performance Shares at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Performance Shares will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Committee. If the Committee, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Performance Shares and the Performance Shares are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, the payment of such accelerated Performance Shares nevertheless shall be made at the same time or times as if such Performance Shares had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement (whether or not the Employee remains employed by the Company or by one of its Subsidiaries as of such date(s)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Performance Shares are accelerated in connection with the Employee’s Termination of Service (other than due to death), the Performance Shares that vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service will not be considered due or payable until the Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Employee’s separation from service, then any such accelerated Performance Shares otherwise payable within the six (6) month period following the Employee’s separation from service instead will be paid on the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s separation from service, unless the Employee dies following his or her separation from service, in which case, the accelerated Performance Shares will be paid to the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 9. Thereafter, such Performance Shares shall continue to be paid in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any final Treasury Regulations and other Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time (“Section 409A”).

6. Payment after Vesting. Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with paragraphs 3 through 4 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, subject to paragraph 9, but in no event later than the applicable two and one-half (2 ¹/2) month period of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in the Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Performance Shares are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, the vested Performance Shares will be released to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, subject to paragraph 9, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year that includes the date of vesting or, if later, the fifteen (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date of vesting (provided that the Employee will not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment). Further, if some or all of the Performance Shares that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service (other than due to death) in accordance with paragraphs 3 through 4, the Performance Shares that vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service will not be considered due or payable until the Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if the Employee is a “specified employee” within

-6-

the meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Employee’s separation from service (other than due to death), then any accelerated Performance Shares will be paid to the Employee no earlier than six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s separation from service unless the Employee dies following his or her separation from service, in which case, the Performance Shares will be paid to the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 9. Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with paragraph 5 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares in accordance with the provisions of such paragraph, subject to paragraph 9. For each Performance Share that vests, the Employee will receive one Share.

7. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Performance Shares that have not vested pursuant to paragraphs 3 through 5 at the time of the Employee’s Termination of Service for any or no reason will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company. In addition, any Performance Shares that have not vested as of the third anniversary of the Grant Date, or if later, the date the Committee certifies achievement of targets for the last Performance Period shall be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company.

8. Death of Employee. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Employee under this Agreement will, if the Employee is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of the Employee’s estate. Any such administrator or executor must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

9. Withholding of Taxes. When Shares are issued as payment for vested Performance Shares, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) will withhold a portion of the Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay federal, state, local and foreign income, social insurance, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company or the employing Subsidiary with respect to the Shares, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, either requires or otherwise permits the Employee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding obligations. The number of Shares withheld pursuant to the prior sentence will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with no refund for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation as a result of such rounding. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be issued unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Shares. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) has the right to retain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Employee, cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares. All income and other taxes related to the Performance Shares award and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Employee. By accepting this award, the Employee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and to any additional cash withholding as provided for in this paragraph 9.

10. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

11. No Effect on Employment. Subject to any employment contract with the Employee, the terms of such employment will be determined from time to time by the Company, or the Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, and the Company, or the Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. The transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment for any period of time. A leave of absence or an interruption in service (including an interruption during military service) authorized or acknowledged by the Company or the Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, shall not be deemed a Termination of Service for the purposes of this Agreement.

12. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of its General Counsel, at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

Upon any attempt to sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.

14. Restrictions on Sale of Securities. The Shares issued as payment for vested Performance Shares under this Agreement will be registered under U.S. federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon receipt. However, an Employee’s subsequent sale of the Shares may be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policies, and any other applicable securities laws.

15. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

17. Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.

18. Committee Authority. The Committee will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Performance Shares have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon the Employee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

19. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

20. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

21. Modifications to the Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Employee expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein.

26. Non-Compete. The Employee agrees that for the period commencing on the date the Employee executes this Agreement and ending on the date occurring twelve (12) months after the Employee incurs a Termination of Service (the “Obligations Period”), the Employee, directly or indirectly, whether as an employee, owner, sole proprietor, partner, director, member, consultant, agent, founder, co-venturer or otherwise, will (a) not engage, participate or invest in any business activity anywhere in the world that is directly competitive with the principal products or services of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Businesses”) (except that it will not be a violation of this paragraph 26 for the Employee to own as a passive investment not more than one percent of any class of publicly traded securities of any entity); nor (b) solicit business from any of the Businesses’ customers and users on behalf of any business that directly competes with the Businesses.

27. Non-Solicit.
