APPENDIX A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT
1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated on the first page of this Agreement subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. When Shares are paid to the Employee in payment for the Restricted Stock Units, par value will be deemed paid by the Employee for each Restricted Stock Unit by services rendered by the Employee, and will be subject to the appropriate tax withholdings.
2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. On any date, a Restricted Stock Unit has a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement, the Employee will have no right to payment of the Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock Units represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.
3. Payment after Vesting. Subject to Sections 5 and 6, Restricted Stock Units that vest will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in full Shares (with the balance, if any, in cash) as soon as practicable following the date of vesting.
4. Death of Employee. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Employee under this Agreement will, if the Employee is then deceased, be made to the Employee’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives the Employee, administrator or executor of the Employee’s estate, notwithstanding the Specified Participant six (6) month delay as described in Section 5 below. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.
5. Specified Participant. Notwithstanding any contrary Plan provision, any payment(s) that are required to be made under the Plan or this Agreement to a Specified Participant due to his or her Termination of Service (other than due to death) shall be accumulated during the first six (6) months following the Termination of Service and shall instead be paid on the payment date that immediately follows the end of such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, unless the Employee dies during such six (6) month period, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid to the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to Section 8. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

A “Specified Participant” means a Participant who, as of the date of his or her Termination of Service, is a key employee of the Company. For this purpose, a Participant shall be deemed to be a “key employee” of the Company if he or she meets the requirements of section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii) or (iii) of the Code (applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and disregarding section 416(i)(5) of the Code) at any time during the 12-month period ending on September 30 (the “Identification Date”). In this connection, the definition of compensation under Treasury regulation section 1.415(c)-2(a) will be used, applied as if no safe harbor provided in Treasury regulation section 1.415(c)-2(d) were used, no elective special timing rules provided in Treasury regulation section 1.415(c)-2(e) were used, and no elective special rules provided in Treasury regulation section 1.415(c)-2(g) were used. If a Participant is a key employee of the Company as of any Identification Date, then he or she will be treated as such for the entire 12-month period beginning on the first day of the fourth month following the Identification Date.
6. Special Rule for Death, Disability or a Change of Control. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or this Agreement, immediately upon the occurrence of a) the Employee’s death, b) the Employee’s Disability (as defined in the Plan), or c) a Change of Control that occurs prior to a Participant’s Termination of Service, one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding Restricted Stock Units will vest. However, the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units nevertheless will be made at the same time or times as if such Restricted Stock Units had vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement (whether or not the Employee remains employed by the Company or by one of its Subsidiaries or any successor as of such date(s)), unless the transaction that results in a Change of Control qualifies as a “change in the ownership or effective control” or “in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A, in which case payment of the Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with this Section 6 shall be made as soon as practicable following the date of vesting.
7. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Plan, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested pursuant to the Vesting Schedule by the fifth anniversary of the Date or Grant or pursuant to this Agreement at the time of the Employee’s Termination of Service for any or no reason other than death or Disability shall be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company.
8. Withholding of Taxes. The Company will withhold a portion of the payment due with respect to vested Restricted Stock Units that has an aggregate market value sufficient to pay the federal, state, and local income, employment, and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, either requires or otherwise permits the Employee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding obligations. The number of Shares withheld pursuant to the prior sentence will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with no refund for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation as a result of such rounding. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no payment will be made to the Employee (or his or her beneficiary or estate) for Restricted Stock Units unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes that the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to the Employee’s vested Restricted Stock Units. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) has the right to retain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Employee, cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any tax withholding
