Address 2

The Company hereby awards you a performance share award consisting of stock units (the “ Units ”) representing shares of Common Stock in the amount set forth above (the “ Target Award ”). The Units are subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. Each Unit corresponds to one share of Common Stock. Upon the full or partial satisfaction by the Company of certain performance criteria described in Paragraph 3, the Units shall be converted into shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Capitalized words not otherwise defined in the text of this Agreement or in Paragraph 10 shall have the same meanings as in the Plan.

By signing this Agreement (or otherwise acknowledging, as instructed, your agreement thereto), you acknowledge and agree that:

 

   

You have received a copy of the Plan.

 

   

You have read and understand the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

 

   

The Company has the right, without your prior consent, to amend or modify the terms of the Plan or this Agreement to the extent that the Committee deems it necessary to avoid adverse or unintended tax consequences to you under Section 409A. Such amendments or modifications may limit or eliminate certain rights otherwise available to you under the Plan and/or this Agreement.

1. No Stockholder Rights Until Issuance of Shares . No shares of Common Stock represented by the Units will be earmarked for you or your account, and you will not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares until such time as the shares are issued to you in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2. No Transfer of Units . You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of the Units granted hereunder.

 


3. Conversion to Common Stock .

(a) General Rule . At a meeting of the Committee to be held within 90 days after the end of the Performance Year, the Committee shall compare the EPS with the EPS Target for the Performance Year set by the Committee at the beginning of the Performance Year. Subject to your applicable Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, the percentage of Units corresponding to (i) the EPS Target achieved, if any, as set forth on the Performance Grid, and (ii) as modified by the TSR Modifier shall be converted, as of the Conversion Date, into Common Stock (up to a maximum of 200% of the Target Award), and all rights with respect to the remaining portion of such Target Award shall be forfeited and surrendered to the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon your forfeiture for any reason of all rights to the Units granted hereunder, such Units shall, for all purposes of the Plan and this Agreement, be deemed terminated and without further force or effect as of the date of such forfeiture.

(b) Rounding . The number of Units settled in accordance with the calculations described in Paragraph 3(a) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

4. Deferral Elections and Re-Deferral Elections .

(a) Deferral Elections . You are eligible to make a Deferral Election to defer the issuance to you of all of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you as of the Conversion Date. To make a Deferral Election, you must complete an election form approved by the Committee that conforms to the terms of the attached ANNEX B, and return or otherwise submit such form to the Record Keeper as soon as possible after the date hereof, but in no event later than the date that is thirty (30) days following the Date of Grant indicated above or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law and communicated to you by the Committee. All Deferral Elections must comply with the applicable procedures established by the Committee from time to time. If you make such a Deferral Election (or a Re-Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 4(b)), then, as of the Conversion Date, the following shall apply: (i) the Units that would have been earned as of the Conversion Date shall be cancelled; (ii) in exchange for such cancelled Units, you will have a future right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units so cancelled, subject to Paragraph 5(d); and (iii) as of the Conversion Date, the Company shall contribute to the Restricted Stock Trust, subject to Paragraph 5(d), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units cancelled, which shares shall be used to satisfy the Company’s payment obligations to you under your Deferral Election and this Agreement, and such shares shall be issued to you as of the Payment Date(s) specified in your Deferral Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, subject to Paragraphs 6, 7, 8 or 12. Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 4(a) to the contrary, if the Committee determines that a Deferral Election is not made within the timeframe required by this Paragraph 4(a) or, as of the last date for submitting such election, is not permitted under the Agreement, such election shall be null and void and the shares (if any) issuable to you under the Agreement will be issued as of the Conversion Date.

(b) Re-Deferral Elections . You may, in accordance with procedures established from time to time by the Committee, also make a Re-Deferral Election with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock earned or eligible to be earned by you under this Agreement, even if you do

not make a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 4(a). Any such Re-Deferral Election (i) must be in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A (as reasonably interpreted by the Committee), (ii) must be made in writing (unless otherwise instructed by the Company) and received by the Record Keeper at least 12 months prior to the Payment Date then in effect previously specified in your Deferral Election (or prior Re-Deferral Election) or established under the terms of this Agreement or, if a Deferral Election or a prior Re-Deferral Election is not in effect, at least 12 months prior to the Conversion Date and (iii) must delay issuance of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you under this Agreement for a period of not less than five years from such Payment Date or if, a Deferral Election or a prior Re-Deferral Election is not in effect, five years from the Conversion Date as the case may be. To the extent that a Payment Date is delayed pursuant to Paragraph 7(a)(i)(B), (C) or (D), the one-year period referenced in clause (ii) and the five-year period referenced in clause (iii) of this Paragraph 4(b) shall be measured from the Conversion Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) a Re-Deferral Election will be permitted or honored solely to the extent that it is timely and conforms to the Agreement and (B) issuance of amounts subject to an applicable Re-Deferral Election shall not occur prior to the Payment Date(s) set forth in your Re-Deferral Election unless otherwise permitted under the Agreement and Section 409A.
