Exhibit 10.4

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

(Non-Employee Directors)

Name Date Number of Shares

RECITALS:

The Board of Directors of Xxxx'x Corporation (the "Board") has approved granting to the director named above ("Director") shares of the common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), subject to the restrictions contained herein, pursuant to the Company’s 2024 Long-Term Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, including the mutual promises set forth in this agreement and the benefits that the Company expects to derive in connection with the services to be hereafter rendered to it or its subsidiaries by the Director, the Company and the Director hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Restricted Shares

1.1 Award of Restricted Shares. The Company hereby awards to the Director the number of shares of Common Stock listed above under the heading “Number of Restricted Shares” (the “Restricted Shares”), subject to the restrictions contained herein and the provisions of the Plan.

1.2 Vesting of the Restricted Shares.

(a)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Restricted Shares shall vest in accordance with the following schedule:

Anniversary Date	Shares Vesting
Earlier of the 1st Anniversary Date or the Date of the Annual Meeting for the Following Year	100% of Shares Granted

(b)Termination. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan (i.e., upon death, Disability or a termination of service upon or following a Change of Control), if a Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, the vesting of the Restricted Shares shall immediately cease and any unvested Restricted Shares shall be forfeited by Director and revert to the Company. “Cause” for purposes of Section 19(a) of the Plan shall have the same meaning as “Act of Misconduct” as defined under Section 23(b)(i) of the Plan.

The period during which the Restricted Shares are unvested is referred to herein as the Restricted Period.

1.3Shareholder Status. Prior to the vesting of the Restricted Shares, Director shall have the right to vote the Restricted Shares and except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all other rights as a holder of outstanding shares of Common Stock. In lieu of any regular cash dividends, on the declared payment date of each regular cash dividend otherwise payable on the Restricted Shares (“Payment Date”), the Company shall issue Director a number of additional shares of Restricted Stock with a

Payment Date market value equal to: (i) the per-share dollar amount of the declared dividend multiplied by (ii) the number of Director’s unvested Restricted Shares as of the declared record date for the dividend. For purposes of calculating the “Payment Date market value” in the preceding sentence, the Company shall use the closing price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the Payment Date. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be issued in fractional shares, and shall vest on the same terms and conditions as the underlying Restricted Shares to which dividends would have been attributable. Any such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director shall not have the right to vote with respect to the Restricted Shares with respect to record dates occurring after any of the

Restricted Shares revert to the Company pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof. Until the Restricted Shares vest pursuant to Sections 1.2 hereof, the Company shall retain custody of the stock certificates representing the Restricted Shares or shall designate them as restricted in book entry form. As soon as practicable after the lapse of the restrictions, the Company shall release or cause to be released any restrictions noted on the certificate or book entry notation regarding the shares of Common Stock so released.

1.4Prohibition Against Transfer. During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Shares may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by the Director, or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any transfer in violation of this Section 1.4 shall be void and of no further effect.

ARTICLE II
