WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Fourth Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as may be further amended and restated (the “Plan”), which has been delivered or made available to the Grantee, to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing the Company’s key employees and others with an appropriate incentive to encourage them to continue in the employ of the Company and to improve the growth and profitability of the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Plan provides for the grant to participants in the Plan of restricted share units, which may be settled in shares of the Company’s Class C stock (the “Class C Stock”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
(a) “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Grantee’s material misconduct or neglect in the performance of his or her duties; (ii) the Grantee’s commission of any felony, offense punishable by imprisonment in a state or federal penitentiary, any offense, civil or criminal, involving material dishonesty, fraud, moral turpitude or immoral conduct or any crime of sufficient import to potentially discredit or adversely affect the Company’s ability to conduct its business in the normal course; (iii) the Grantee’s material breach of the Company’s written Code of Conduct, as in effect from time to time; (iv) the Grantee’s commission of any act that results in severe harm to the Company excluding any act taken by the Grantee in good faith that he or she reasonably believed was in the best interests of the Company; or (v) the Grantee’s material breach of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement dated June 15, 2015, as amended on April 7, 2016 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). However, none of the foregoing events or conditions will constitute Cause unless the Company provides the Grantee with written notice of the event or condition and thirty (30) days to cure such event or condition (if curable) and the event or condition is not cured within such 30-day period.
(b) “Compensation Committee Certification” shall mean the certification by the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board following a determination that (i) the Stock Price Hurdle was achieved following the last day of one of the Company’s fiscal years during the Performance Period or (ii) the Stock Price Hurdle was not achieved during the Performance Period following the last day of the Company’s fiscal year 2028, which certification determines the number of Earned RSUs that are eligible to vest pursuant to Section 6. The Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board will determine whether or not the Stock Price Hurdle is achieved at its first meeting occurring after the last day of each of the Company’s fiscal years ending during the Performance Period.
(c) “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a material diminishment in the scope of the Grantee’s duties or responsibilities with the Company; (ii) a material reduction in the Grantee’s current base salary, bonus opportunity or a material reduction in the aggregate benefits or perquisites; or (iii) a requirement that the Grantee relocate more than fifty (50) miles from his or her primary place of business as of the date of a Change in Control, or a significant increase in required travel as part of the Grantee’s duties and responsibilities with the Company. However, none of
1
the foregoing events or conditions will constitute Good Reason unless (A) the Grantee provides the Company with written objection to the event or condition within ninety (90) days following the occurrence thereof, (B) the Company does not reverse or otherwise cure the event or condition within thirty (30) days of receiving such written objection, and (C) the Grantee resigns his or her employment within thirty (30) days following the expiration of such cure period.

(e) “Stock Price Hurdle” shall mean the passing of 60 consecutive trading days on the New York Stock Exchange on which the average of the closing trading prices of the Company’s Class C Stock equals or exceeds $13.00.
(f) An award will qualify as a “Substitute Award” if it is assumed, substituted or replaced by a Successor with awards that, solely in the discretion of the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board, preserves the existing value of the outstanding Restricted Stock Units at the time of the Change in Control and provides vesting and payout terms that are at least as favorable to the Grantee as the vesting and payout terms applicable to the Restricted Stock Units.
(g) “Successor” shall mean the continuing or successor organization, as the case may be, following a Change in Control.

5. Calculation of Earned Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units will become “Earned RSUs” if and only if the Stock Price Hurdle is achieved during the Performance Period.

11. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party hereto upon any breach or default of any party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereafter occurring nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.

13. Withholding Taxes. The Grantee agrees, as a condition of this grant, that the Grantee will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, Earned RSUs or delivery of the Class C Stock or other shares acquired in connection with this Award.

4
(c) withholding in shares of the Class C Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or Earned RSUs; or

14. Data Privacy. The Company is located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇.▇., and grants Restricted Stock Units to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, at the Company’s sole discretion. The Grantee acknowledges that he or she has reviewed the following information about the Company’s data processing practices and declares his or her consent.
(a) Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses personal employee data, including name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Class C Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all equity awards granted, canceled, vested or outstanding in the Grantee's favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer (“Data”). If the Company grants the Grantee equity rights under the Plan, then the Company will collect the Grantee’s Data for purposes of allocating shares of Class C Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing, and use of the Grantee’s Data is the Grantee’s consent.
(b) Stock Plan Service Provider. The Company transfers the Grantee’s Data to The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Corporation, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share my Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Class C Stock. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent, Denial or Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and the Grantee’s grant of consent hereunder is purely voluntary. The Grantee may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with participation in the Plan.
(e) Data Retention. The Grantee understands that the Grantee’s Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
(f) Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that the Grantee may have the right under applicable law to (i) access or copy the Grantee’s Data that the Company possesses, (ii) rectify incorrect Data concerning the Grantee, (iii) delete the Grantee’s Data, (iv) restrict processing of the Grantee’s Data, or (v) lodge complaints with the competent supervisory authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee understands that the Grantee can contact Human Resources at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. The Company will process the Grantee’s requests related to these rights as the law allows, which means in some cases there may be legal or other official reasons that Company may not be able to address the specific request related to the Grantee’s rights to protect the Grantee’s privacy. The Company will take steps to verify the Grantee identity before fulfilling any such request.
