1.         Terms of Restricted Stock Award. Pursuant to action of the Compensation and Development Committee (the “Committee”), the Company awards to the Employee the number of shares of Restricted Stock set forth above. The Restricted Stock is nontransferable by the Employee during the period described below and is subject to the risk of forfeiture as described below. Prior to the time shares become transferable, the shares of Restricted Stock shall bear a legend indicating their nontransferability, and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Employee terminates service as an employee of the Company prior to the time a restriction lapses, the Employee shall forfeit any shares of Restricted Stock which are still subject to the restrictions at the time of termination of such service.

(a) Time-Based Restricted Stock

The restrictions on transfer described in this Section A.1 applicable to the Time-Based Restricted Stock awarded above shall lapse and be of no further force and effect as follows, if the Employee is still an employee of the Company on the respective dates set forth below, and has been continuously serving as such an employee of the Company from the Grant Date until such date:

For avoidance of doubt, on the Final Vesting Date, one hundred percent (100%) of the Time-Based Restricted Stock shall be transferable by the Employee if the Employee is still an employee of the Company, and has been continuously serving from the Grant Date through the Final Vesting Date as an employee of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, all previously granted shares of Time-Based Restricted Stock not yet free of the restrictions of this Section A.1.(a) shall only become immediately free of such restrictions in accordance with Section 12.B of the Plan.

(b) Performance-Based Restricted Stock

The restrictions on transfer described in this Section A.1 applicable to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock awarded above shall lapse and be of no further force and effect as follows, if (1) the performance criteria applicable to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock as established by the Committee and included in Exhibit A hereto (the “Performance Criteria”) has been satisfied, and (2) the Employee is still an employee of the Company on the date set forth below, and has been continuously serving as such an employee of the Company from the Grant Date to such date:

For avoidance of doubt, on the Final Vesting Date, one hundred percent (100%) of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be transferable by the Employee if (1) the Performance Criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereto have been satisfied, and (2) the Employee is still an employee, and has been continuously serving from the Grant Date through the Final Vesting Date as an employee of the Company on such date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control prior to the Final Vesting Date, one hundred percent (100%) of the Target Number of Shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock (as set forth on page 1) shall only become immediately free of the restrictions of this Section A.1.(b) in accordance with Section 12.B of the Plan.

2.          Death or Disability of the Employee.

(a) Time-Based Restricted Stock

In the event (i) of the death of the Employee, or (ii) the Company terminates the Employee’s employment due to a permanent and total disability which results in the Employee’s inability to return to work with the Company, all previously granted shares of Time-Based Restricted Stock not yet free of the restrictions of Section A.1(a) shall become immediately free of such restrictions.

(b) Performance-Based Restricted Stock

In the event (i) of the death of the Employee, or (ii) the Company terminates the Employee’s employment due to a permanent and total disability which results in the Employee’s inability to return to work with the Company, in either case prior to the end of Fiscal Year 202_, one hundred percent (100%) of Target Number of Shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock (as set forth on page 1) shall become immediately free of the restrictions of Section A.1(b).

In the event (i) of the death of the Employee, or (ii) the Company terminates the Employee’s employment due to a permanent and total disability which results in the Employee’s inability to return to work with the Company, in either case subsequent to the end of Fiscal Year 202_, all shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock which are earned but not yet free of the restrictions of Section A.1(b) shall become immediately free of such restrictions.

3.         Cost of Restricted Stock. The purchase price of the shares of Restricted Stock shall be $0.00.

4.         Rights as Stockholder. The Employee shall be entitled to all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends and other distributions payable with respect to such shares, as follows: (i) with respect to the shares of Time-Based Restricted Stock, since the Grant Date; and (ii) with respect to the shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock, only upon satisfaction of the Performance Criteria; provided that any such rights, dividends or other distributions will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying Restricted Stock and shall be paid at the time the restrictions set forth in Sections A.1(a) and A.1(b) have been lifted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If any dividends or distributions are paid in shares, the shares shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

5.         Escrow of Share Certificates. Certificates for the Restricted Stock shall be issued in the Employee’s name and shall be held in escrow by the Company until all restrictions lapse or such shares are forfeited as provide herein. A certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock as to which restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered to the Employee upon such lapse.

6.         Government Regulations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company’s obligation to issue or deliver certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

7.         Withholding Taxes. The Company shall have the right to require the Employee to remit to the Company, or to withhold from other amounts payable to the Employee, as compensation or otherwise, an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements.

8.           Accounting Restatement. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company's material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Committee shall require reimbursement or forfeiture of shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock which have been earned and/or which have vested pursuant to this Agreement during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement and any transition period within such time period. The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the number of shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock earned and/or vested based on the erroneous data over the shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock that would have been earned and vested had it been based on the restated results, as determined by the Committee.  The Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the method for recouping the Performance-Based Restricted Stock hereunder which may include, without limitation: (i) seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock; (ii) offsetting the recouped amount from any compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Employee; (iii) cancelling outstanding vested or unvested shares of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock; or (iv) taking any other remedial and recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Committee. In addition, the Company shall recoup or recover any erroneously issued Performance-Based Restricted Stock in accordance with any incentive compensation recoupment or recovery policy adopted in the future by the Company pursuant to Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then-listed. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section A.8 and such a policy, the terms of the policy shall govern the recoupment or recovery of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock; provided that the recoupment or recovery policy shall apply to this Performance-Based Restricted Stock regardless of Employee’s classification as an “executive officer” as defined by the applicable rules and regulations.
