1.AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT

The Company hereby awards to the Participant and the Participant accepts a restricted stock grant of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock specified in the Grant Notice as the Grant Shares (the “Award”).  This Award is being made without the payment of any consideration other than the Participant’s services to the Company.  The Award is being made pursuant to the Plan and is subject to and conditioned upon the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice and this Agreement.  Any inconsistency between the Grant Notice and this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Plan will be resolved in accordance with the Plan.

Promptly following the Participant’s execution of the Grant Notice, the Company will issue the Grant Shares.  Participant will be entitled to voting and dividend rights with respect to the Grant Shares, even though some of the Grant Shares are not vested, provided that to the extent any such Grant Shares are forfeited to the Company, such rights will terminate immediately with respect to the Grant Shares that are forfeited.

2.REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PARTICIPANT

2.1No Representations by or on Behalf of the Company.  The Participant is not relying on any representation, warranty, or statement made by the Company or any agent, employee or officer, director, shareholder, or other controlling person of the Company regarding the Grant Shares or this Award.

2.2Tax Election.  The Company has advised the Participant to seek the Participant’s own tax and financial advice with regard to the federal and state tax considerations resulting from the Participant’s receipt of the Grant Shares pursuant to the award.  Participant represents that Participant has reviewed the “Tax Treatment of Your Restricted Stock Grant” attached as Exhibit A and will rely on the advice of Participant’s own tax advisors with respect to the tax aspects of a grant of Grant Shares under this Agreement.  Participant represents that Participant is not relying on any representations made by the Company or any of its agents with respect to such matters, including but not limited to Exhibit A.  The Participant understands that the Company will report to appropriate taxing authorities the payment to the Participant of compensation income either (i) upon the vesting of Grant Shares or (ii) if the Participant makes a timely Section 83(b) election, as of the Grant Date.  The Participant understands that he or she is solely responsible for the payment of all federal and state taxes

resulting from this Award.  CURRENTLY AN ELECTION UNDER 83(b) MUST BE FILED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE GRANT DATE.  THIS TIME PERIOD CANNOT BE EXTENDED.  PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TIMELY FILING OF A SECTION 83(b) ELECTION IS PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN IF PARTICIPANT REQUESTS COMPANY OR ITS AGENT TO FILE SUCH ELECTION ON PARTICIPANT’S BEHALF.

2.3Tax Withholding.  As a condition to the receipt of Grant Shares, Participant must make such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such receipt.  The Company has the right to retain without notice sufficient Grant Shares to satisfy the withholding obligation.  

(a)Securities Compliance.  Participant agrees that Participant is acquiring the Grant Shares for Participant’s own account for investment, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and Participant agrees, upon request, to further document its investment intent, access to information concerning the Company, ability to bear the economic risk of the Grant Shares, and acknowledges restrictions on transfer of the Shares.  Participant understands that the Company does not have an effective registration statement with respect to the Grant Shares under the Securities Act and has no intent to or obligation to do so.  

(b)Indemnification by Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, Participant will indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, agents and any person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) with respect to the breach of any representations and warranties Participant makes in this Agreement in connection with the issuance of the Grant Shares.

Exhibit A

TAX TREATMENT OF YOUR RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT

The Grant Shares, if any, will be granted on the Grant Date. Restricted stock awards granted pursuant to the LTIP Plan are taxed in accordance with the rules of section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Each employee who receives a restricted stock award is urged to discuss the income tax consequences of the award with his or her income tax advisor.  A very general explanation of the applicable rules follows.  

The general tax rule is that you will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares of Restricted Stock when the restrictions lapse (i.e., when such shares become vested). However, you may accelerate your recognition of ordinary income to the tax year in which your Grant Date occurs (in this case 2017) by filing an election under section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The section 83(b) election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service no later than 30 days after the Grant Date.  If you timely file the section 83(b) election, you will recognize as ordinary income the fair market value of the stock on the Grant Date.  You will not recognize any further ordinary income when the restrictions on the award subsequently lapse.

When you sell your stock, the tax treatment will depend on whether you have timely made an election under section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under current Federal tax law, if you have made such a timely election and you sell your stock more than 12 months from the Grant Date, any gain from the sale will be a long term capital gain.  Any gain from a sale on or before this 12-month period will be a short-term capital gain.  If you do not make a timely section 83(b) election, the holding period for long-term capital gain treatment on the sale of your stock begins on the date the restrictions on your restricted stock lapse.

Unless you make the section 83(b) election, dividends on the restricted stock will be taxed as ordinary income until such time as the restrictions lapse.  If you make the section 83(b) election the dividends are taxable as dividends.

The Company is required by law to withhold Federal, state or local taxes on any ordinary income attributable to your Restricted Stock award.  If you make a section 83(b) election, these taxes will be due and payable for the year in which the Grant Date occurs.  If you do not make a section 83(b) election, these taxes will be due and payable for the year in which the restrictions on your restricted stock award lapse.  Upon determination by the Company of the year in which taxes are due and the amount of taxes required to be withheld, you are liable to the Company for the amount of taxes that must be withheld.  You may satisfy this obligation by: (i) paying the Company in cash or by certified or cashier's check, (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold monies owing from the Company to you or (iii) authorizing the Company to withhold from the shares granted in your Restricted Stock Award.  

We must emphasize that if you want to make the section 83(b) election, which may be to your advantage if the stock rises in value, you must do so by filing a form with the Internal Revenue Service Center with which you file your federal income tax return no later than 30 days after the Grant Date.  Even though you timely make the section 83(b) election, you may not sell the

1 – EXHIBIT A:  TAX TREATMENT OF YOUR RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT

Restricted Stock until the restrictions imposed on such stock lapse (i.e., the stock vests), and as otherwise provided in the Restricted Stock Grant Agreement.  In addition, one copy of the election must be submitted with your income tax return for the taxable year for which the property is transferred and a copy of the election must be filed with the Company.

If you make a section 83(b) election, the election may not be revoked. In addition, if you file such an election and the stock is subsequently forfeited, you will not be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction for the amount of income taxes that you paid as a result of making the section 83(b) election.  You also will not be able to file for a refund of the income taxes.  

We urge you to talk with your individual tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your Restricted Stock award.  The Company and its employees do not make any tax representations or recommendations.  This general explanation is being provided simply to assist you in understanding the concepts before you meet with your individual advisor and shall not constitute any legal or tax advice.
