This Agreement is effective as of October 13, 2014, the date communicated to you and set forth in the Company’s records (the “Grant Date”).

The Company wishes to award to you a number of Restricted Stock Units, subject to certain restrictions as provided in this Agreement, in order to carry out the purpose of the Company’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and you hereby agree as follows:

1.Award of Restricted Stock Units.

The Company hereby grants to you, effective as of the Grant Date, an Award of Restricted Stock Units for that number of Restricted Stock Units having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value communicated to you and set forth in the Company’s records and as reflected below (the “RSUs”), on the terms and conditions set forth in such communication, this Agreement and the Plan. Each RSU represents the right to receive, on the vesting date or dates communicated to you and set forth in the Company’s records, one share of the Company’s Common Stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”).

(a) RSUs having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the Grant Date equal to $25,000, based on the closing sales price of the shares of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange as reported in the consolidated transaction reporting system on the Grant Date.

2. Rights with Respect to the RSUs.

The RSUs granted hereunder do not and shall not give you any of the rights and privileges of a shareholder of Common Stock, other than the right to receive dividends and other distributions as provided in Sections 9(b) and (c) hereof. Your rights with respect to the RSUs shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the date or dates on which such rights become vested, and the restrictions with respect to the RSUs lapse, in accordance with Sections 3, 4 or 5 hereof.

3. Vesting.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the RSUs shall vest, and the restrictions with respect to the RSUs shall lapse, on the date or dates and in the amount or amounts communicated to you and set forth in the Company’s records and as reflected below if you remain continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company until the respective vesting dates.

(a) The grant of RSUs under Section 1(a) above shall vest on the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to your performance as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as determined by the Board following the first to occur of the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date and the end of your service as Interim Chief Executive Officer.

4. Change of Control.

Notwithstanding the vesting provisions contained in Section 3 above, but subject to the other terms and conditions in this Agreement, you shall become immediately and unconditionally vested in all RSUs granted hereunder and the restrictions with respect to all such RSUs shall lapse if, within two years after the date of a Change of Control (as defined below) that occurs after the Grant Date, the Company terminates your employment for any reason other than for Cause (as defined in Section 4(c)(i) below) or death or Disability (as defined in Section 5(a)(v) below) or you terminate employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 4(c)(ii)). For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean any of the following events:

(a) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or the acquisition of assets or securities of another entity by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (the “Outstanding Corporation Common Stock”) and the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities”) immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Corporation Common Stock and the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities, as the case may be, and (ii) no individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Sections 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Corporation or such entity resulting from such Business Combination, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such entity, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination; or

(b) Approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation.

(c) For purposes of Sections 4 and 5 hereof, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) Cause. Your employment may be terminated for Cause if the Committee administering the Plan, after you shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to appear in person together with counsel before the Committee and to present such evidence as you deem appropriate, determines that Cause exists. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means (i) an act or acts of fraud or misappropriation on your part which result in or are intended to result in your personal enrichment at the expense of the Corporation and which constitute a criminal offense under State or Federal laws or (ii) conviction of a felony.

(ii) Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means:

a.    without your express written consent (1) the assignment to you of any duties inconsistent in any substantial respect with your position, authority or responsibilities as in effect during the 90-day period immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control or (2) any other substantial adverse change in such position (including titles), authority or responsibilities; or

b.    any failure by the Corporation to furnish you with base salary, target annual bonus opportunity, long-term incentive opportunity or aggregate employee benefits at a level equal to or exceeding those received by you from the Corporation during the 90-day period preceding the date of a Change of Control, other than (1) an insubstantial and inadvertent failure remedied by the Corporation promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by you or (2) with respect to aggregate employee benefits only, any such failure resulting from an across-the-board reduction in employee benefits applicable to all similarly situated employees of the Corporation generally; or

c.    the Corporation’s requiring you to be based or to perform services at any office or location more than 30 miles from the office or location at which you were based as of immediately prior to the date of a Change of Control, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of your responsibilities.

For purposes of this Section 4(c)(ii), any determination of “Good Reason” shall be made by the Committee administering the Plan and shall be conclusive. Your mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above in clauses (a) through (c) shall not affect your ability to terminate employment for Good Reason and your death following termination for Good Reason shall not affect your estate’s entitlement to payments provided hereunder upon a termination of employment for Good Reason. For the avoidance of doubt, your re-appointment as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer following the end of your service as interim Chief Executive Officer shall not constitute Good Reason.

5. Early Vesting; Forfeiture.

(a) If you cease to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company prior to the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, your rights to all of the unvested RSUs shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited, except that:

(i) if (A) the Company or an Affiliate of the Company terminates your employment involuntarily and not for Cause prior to the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, (B) your combined age and years of service with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (pursuant to the method for crediting service under the Xxxxxx Savings Plan) equal at least 70, and (C) you were not designated as an officer-level employee in the Company payroll system with the Peoplesoft identifier “OFC” or its equivalent on the Grant Date, then the RSUs will vest on a pro rata basis on the date of your termination of employment, based on the number of full months of employment completed from the Grant Date to the date of your termination of employment divided by the number of full months in the vesting period for any unvested RSUs, and your rights to all of the unvested RSUs shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited;

(ii) if you retire on or after age 65 with five years of service with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (pursuant to the method for crediting service under the Xxxxxx Savings Plan) (“Normal Retirement”) prior to the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, you shall become immediately and unconditionally vested in all RSUs and the restrictions with respect to all RSUs shall lapse on the date of your Normal Retirement;

(iii) if you retire on or after age 55 with ten years of service with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (pursuant to the method for crediting service under the Xxxxxx Savings Plan) but before Normal Retirement (“Early Retirement”) and you were not designated as an officer-level employee in the Company payroll system with the Peoplesoft identifier “OFC” or its equivalent on the Grant Date, the RSUs will vest on a pro rata basis on the date of your Early Retirement, based on the number of full months of employment completed from the Grant Date to the date of your Early Retirement divided by the number of full months in the vesting period for any unvested RSUs, and your rights to all of the unvested RSUs shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited;

(iv) if you die prior to the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, you shall become immediately and unconditionally vested in all RSUs and the restrictions with respect to all RSUs shall lapse on the date of your death. No transfer by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution of any RSUs which vest by reason of your death shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee administering the Plan shall have been furnished with written notice of such transfer and a copy of the will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer; or

(v) if you become Disabled (as defined below) prior to the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof, you shall become immediately and unconditionally vested in all RSUs and the restrictions with respect to all RSUs shall lapse on the date on which the Committee administering the Plan makes the determination that you are Disabled. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disabled” means you have a disability due to illness or injury which is expected to be permanent in nature and which prevents you from performing the material duties required by your regular occupation, all as determined by the Committee administering the Plan.

6. Restriction on Transfer.

Except as contemplated by Section 5(a)(iv) hereof, none of the RSUs may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, attached or otherwise encumbered, and no attempt to transfer the RSUs, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest the transferee with any interest or right in or with respect to the RSUs.

7. Financial Restatements.

This Section 7 only applies to you if at any time you were or are designated as an officer-level employee in the Company payroll system with the Peoplesoft identifier “OFC” or its equivalent. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement, if (a) the Company is required to restate its financial statements due to fraud and (b) the Committee administering the Plan determines that you have knowingly participated in such fraud, then the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time within two years following such restatement, require you to, and you shall immediately upon notice of such Committee determination, return to the Company any shares of Common Stock underlying RSUs that vested under this Agreement and any dividends or other distributions with respect to the vested RSUs received by you or your personal representative and pay to the Company in cash the amount of any proceeds received by you or your personal representative from the disposition or transfer of any such shares of Common Stock, in each case during the period commencing two years before the beginning of the restated financial period and ending on the date of such Committee determination. In addition, all of your rights to RSUs that are not vested on the date that the Committee makes such determination shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, the Committee shall have the authority and discretion to make any determination regarding the specific implementation of this Section 7 with respect to you.

8. Settlement of RSUs.

No shares of Common Stock shall be issued to you prior to the date on which the RSUs vest, in accordance with the terms and conditions communicated to you and set forth in the Company’s records. After the RSUs vest pursuant to Sections 3, 4 or 5 hereof, the Company shall promptly, but no later than 30 days following the applicable vesting date, cause to be issued in your name one share of Common Stock for each RSU and pay to you any accumulated distributions (less applicable tax withholding) pursuant to Sections 9(b) and (c) hereof. Following payment of the applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall promptly cause such shares of Common Stock (less any shares withheld to pay taxes) to be delivered, either by book-entry registration or in the form of a stock certificate or certificates, registered in your name or in the names of your legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be.

9. Distributions and Adjustments.

(a) If any RSUs vest subsequent to any change in the number or character of the Common Stock of the Company (through any stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or otherwise) occurring after the Grant Date, you shall then receive upon such vesting the number and type of securities or other consideration which you would have received if such RSUs had vested prior to the event changing the number or character of the outstanding Common Stock.

(b) Any additional shares of Common Stock, any other securities of the Company and any other property (except for cash dividends or other cash distributions) distributed with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs prior to the date or dates the RSUs vest shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as the RSUs to which they relate and shall be promptly deposited with the Secretary of the Company or a custodian designated by the Secretary. Any such accumulated distributions shall be distributed to you in accordance with Section 8 hereof. If the RSUs are forfeited prior to vesting, any accumulated distributions payable in respect of such RSUs shall also be forfeited.

(c) Any cash dividends or other cash distributions payable with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs prior to the vesting of the RSUs shall be distributed to you upon the vesting of the RSUs in the amount originally declared, without interest. Any such accumulated cash dividends or other cash distributions shall be distributed to you in accordance with Section 8 hereof. If the RSUs are forfeited prior to vesting, any accumulated cash dividends or other cash distributions payable in respect of such RSUs shall also be forfeited.

10. Taxes.

(a) You acknowledge that you will consult with your personal tax advisor regarding the income tax consequences of the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, the receipt of shares of Common Stock upon the vesting of the RSUs and any other matters related to this Agreement. In order to comply with all applicable federal, state or local income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal, state or local payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are your sole and absolute responsibility, are withheld or collected from you.

(b) In accordance with the terms of the Plan, and such rules as may be adopted by the Committee administering the Plan, you may elect to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations arising from the receipt of, or the lapse of restrictions relating to, the RSUs by (i) delivering cash (including check, draft, money order or wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company), (ii) having the Company withhold a portion of the shares of Common Stock, cash or other property otherwise to be delivered having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes, or (iii) delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes. The Company will not deliver any fractional share of Common Stock but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional share of Common Stock. Your election must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.
