You will be entitled to receive cash or Shares pursuant to dividends declared following the Grant Date in connection with the Restricted Share Units as provided in Section 8(e) of the Plan. 4. Rights as a Shareholder. You will not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units unless and until the Restricted Share Units vest and are settled by the issuance of such Shares in accordance with Section 5. 5. Lapse of Vesting Restrictions and Issuance of Shares. As vesting restrictions lapse, the Company will cause Shares (the number of which will equal the number of vested Restricted Share Units, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares so that no fractional Shares will be issued) to be issued in your name. The Shares will either be reflected in a certificate delivered to you promptly following settlement or credited to your book-entry account maintained by the Company's transfer agent. The certificate or account entry will include such legends or restrictions as the Committee determines to be appropriate. Shares will not be issued in your name until you have made arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy any applicable tax-withholding obligations. 6. Tax Withholding and Reimbursement. You are responsible for the payment of all federal, state and local withholding taxes and your portion of any applicable payroll taxes imposed in connection with the settlement of Restricted Share Units as provided in Section 5. Payment may be made, at your election (a) by check or in cash or (b) by your written notice to the Company (in compliance with any applicable restrictions imposed by applicable statute, rule or regulation), electing to have your tax withholding obligations satisfied by the withholding of Shares that would otherwise have been issued in connection with settlement of the Award as provided in Sections 10(a) and 10(d) of the Plan. 7. Forfeiture of Shares. To the extent that your Continuous Service with the Company ends prior to the Restricted Share Units becoming fully vest ed, all Restricted Share Units that do not become vested shall be forfeited. You have no right or interest in any Restricted Share Units that are forfeited. 8. Occurrence of a Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the manner in which vesting restrictions will lapse, if at all, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 12(c) of the Plan. 9. Transfer Restrictions. This Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or otherwise disposed of other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution without the prior written consent of the Committee. 10.

Code Section 409A. This Award Agreement and the Restricted Share Units are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A") by reason of all payments being "short-term deferrals" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A- 1(b)(4). All provisions of this Award Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with

preserving this exemption. In no event will the Company be liable for any tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on you by Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.
