2. Vesting of RSUs.  

(a) Normal Vesting.  Subject to the Plan and this Agreement, if the Director serves continuously as a member of the Board from the Date of Grant through the Vesting Date, then the RSUs will become vested and nonforfeitable (“Vest” or similar terms).

(b) Death or Permanent Disability.  If the Director ceases to serve as a member of the Board before the Vesting Date due to the death or permanent disability (as defined in the Company’s sole discretion) of the Director (with the occurrence of such permanent disability determined in the Company’s sole discretion), then, to the extent the RSUs have not previously been forfeited, the RSUs will Vest upon the date of the Director’s cessation of service as a member of the Board as a result of such death or permanent disability.

(c) Other than Death or Permanent Disability.  If the Director ceases to serve as a member of the Board before the Vesting Date for any reason other than as set forth in Section 2(b) or Section 2(d), then, to the extent the RSUs have not previously been forfeited, the RSUs will Vest pro rata upon the date of the Director’s cessation of service as a member of the Board in an amount determined by multiplying the number of such RSUs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of calendar days during which the Director served as a member of the Board during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the date of the Director’s cessation of service as a member of the Board and the denominator of which is 365, rounded to the nearest whole number of RSUs.

(d) Accelerated Vesting in Connection with a Change of Control. 

(i) If a Change of Control occurs after the Date of Grant but prior to the Vesting Date, and the Director has continuously served as a member of the Board between the Date of Grant and the date of such Change of Control, then all RSUs evidenced by this Agreement shall become 100% Vested on the date of such Change of Control, except (A) to the extent such RSUs have previously been forfeited, or (B) to the extent that a Replacement Award is provided to the Director to replace, continue or adjust the outstanding RSUs (the “Replaced Award”).  If the Director is provided with a Replacement Award in connection with the Change of Control, then if, upon or after receiving the Replacement Award, the Director’s service as a member of the Board (or the board of directors of any of the Company’s successors after the Change of Control (as applicable, the “Successor Company”)) ceases, other than at the volition of the Director, within a period of one year after the Change of Control but prior to the Vesting Date, to the extent that the Replacement Award has not previously been forfeited, the Replacement Award will become 100% Vested (and become entitled to settlement as specified in Section 3.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Replacement Award” means an award (A) of the same type (i.e., time-based restricted stock units) as the Replaced Award, (B) that has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award, (C) that relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Successor Company in the Change of Control (or another entity that is affiliated with the Successor Company following the Change of Control), (D) the tax consequences of which for such Director under the Code, if the Director is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, are not less favorable to the Director than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award, and (E) the other terms and conditions of which are not less favorable to the Director than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent change in control).  A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or ceasing to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a

continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding two sentences are satisfied.  The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 2(d)(ii) are satisfied will be made in good faith by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change of Control, in its sole discretion.

(iii) If a Replacement Award is provided, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any outstanding RSUs which at the time of the Change of Control are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) will be deemed to be Vested at the time of such Change of Control.

(iv) For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

(A) Individuals who, as of the effective date of the Plan, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any person becoming a member of the Board subsequent to the effective date of the Plan whose election, or nomination for the election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Board members then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be, for purposes of this clause (A), considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board as of the effective date of the Plan;

(B) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, with respect to which persons who were the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the Voting Power of the reorganized, merged or consolidated entity;

(C) Any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person, any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates) representing 30% or more of the Voting Power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;

(D) A liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

(E) The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

(e) Forfeiture of RSUs.  Any RSUs that have not become Vested as of (i) the Vesting Date pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(d), or (ii) if earlier, upon the date of the Director’s cessation of service in accordance with Section 2(b), (c) or (d), will be forfeited automatically and without further notice on such date.

3. Settlement of RSUs. 

(a) Normal.  Subject to Section 3(b), the Company will issue to the Director one share of Stock as soon as administratively practicable after the Vesting Date (but in no event more than thirty days after the Vesting Date) for each RSU that is a Vested RSU on such Vesting Date to the extent the RSU has not been previously forfeited or settled. 

(b) Other Settlement Events.  Notwithstanding Section 3(a), to the extent the RSUs are Vested RSUs on the dates set forth below and to the extent the Vested RSUs have not previously been forfeited or settled, the Company will settle such Vested RSUs on the earliest to occur of the following events:

(i) Separation from Service due to Death or Permanent Disability.  If there are such Vested RSUs at the time of the Director’s cessation of service due to death or permanent disability, within thirty days of the Director’s Separation from Service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) as a result of such death or permanent disability, one share of Stock will be issued for each such Vested RSU.

(ii) Separation from Service Other than due to Death or Permanent Disability.  If there are such Vested RSUs at the time of the Director’s Separation from Service for any reason other than as set forth in Section 2(b), within thirty days of the Director’s Separation from Service, one share of Stock will be issued for each such Vested RSU.

(iii) Change of Control.  If there are such Vested RSUs upon a Change of Control, the Director is entitled to receive payment for such Vested RSUs in the form of one share of Stock for each such Vested RSU on the date of the Change of Control; provided, however, that if such Change of Control would not qualify as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, and where Section 409A of the Code applies to such distribution, the Director is entitled to receive the corresponding payment on the date that would have otherwise applied pursuant to this Section 3 as though such Change of Control had not occurred.

(c) Deferral of Settlement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, a Director may elect to defer receipt of shares of Stock to be received pursuant to this Agreement pursuant to the Company’s Directors’ deferred compensation plan, as may be in effect from time to time.

(d) Specified Employee.  Notwithstanding anything (including any provision of the Agreement or Plan) to the contrary, if the Director becomes a specified employee (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, payment to the Director of any deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code on account of a Separation from Service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) shall, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2), be made to the Director on the earlier of (i) the Director’s death or (ii) the first business day (or within 30 days after such first business day) that is more than six months after the date of Separation from Service.  Interest may be paid due to such delay, provided that such interest payments are made at a reasonable rate in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(o).  Further, any interest will be calculated in the manner determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. Dividend equivalents will be paid with respect to any dividends that would have been paid during the delay as if the Stock had been issued.

7. Payment of Dividend Equivalents.  From and after the Date of Grant and until the earlier of (a) the time when the RSUs become Vested and are settled in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 of this Agreement or (b) the time when the Director’s right to receive shares of Stock in settlement of the RSUs is forfeited in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, on the date that the Company pays a cash dividend (if any) to holders of Stock generally, the Director shall be entitled to a number of additional RSUs determined by dividing (i) the product of (x) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (y) the total number of RSUs (including dividend equivalents paid thereon) previously credited to the Director as of such date, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date.  Such dividend equivalents (if any) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be paid, in the aggregate rounded down to the nearest whole number, or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the RSUs to which the dividend equivalents were credited.
