Each Evidence of Award shall incorporate by reference and be subject to this Statement of Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions of the Plan, except as may otherwise be determined by the Administrator.
B.Special Restrictions. Each grant of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units made under the Plan shall contain the following terms, conditions and restrictions, except as may otherwise be determined by the Administrator.
6

1.Restrictions. Until the restrictions imposed on any grant of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall lapse, Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted to a Participant: (a) shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of, and (b) shall, if the Participant experiences a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) from the Company or an Affiliate for any reason (except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in Sections VI. B. 2 or VII) be returned to the Company forthwith, and all the rights of the Participant to such Shares or Restricted Stock Units shall immediately terminate. A Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or encumber such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. If a Participant experiences a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) from the Company (except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in Sections VI. B. 2 or VII) prior to the lapse of the restrictions imposed on an award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, the unvested portion of the award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited to the Company, and all the rights of the Participant to such Award shall immediately terminate.
2.Terminations of Service by Reason of Retirement. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in the Plan or Evidence of Award to the contrary, if a Participant who has been serving as a Director of the Company since the Date of Grant of an award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that remains outstanding ceases to be a Director of the Company, which cessation constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and which is a result of Retirement that occurs at least one year following the Date of Grant, then the restrictions shall lapse as to the number of Shares or Share Equivalents equal to: (i) the number of Shares or Share Equivalents originally subject to the Award, multiplied by (ii) a fraction (x) the number of whole months between the Date of Grant and the date of such separation from service, divided by (y) the number of whole months between the Date of Grant and the final vesting date contemplated in the Award, less (iii) the number of Shares or Share Equivalents originally subject to the Award that have already become vested.
3.Terminations of Service by Reason of Mandatory Retirement, Disability or Death. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in the Plan or Evidence of Award to the contrary, if a Participant who has been serving as a Director of the Company since the Date of Grant of an award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that remains outstanding ceases to be a Director of the Company, which cessation constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and which is a result of Mandatory Retirement that occurs at least one year
7

following the Date of Grant, death or determination of Disability, then the restrictions shall lapse as to the number of Shares or Share Equivalents equal to the number of Shares or Share Equivalents originally subject to the Award, that had not previously lapsed.
C.Dividends or Dividend Equivalents. Upon dividends being paid on outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, dividends shall be paid with respect to Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period and shall be converted to additional shares of Restricted Stock, which shall be subject to the same restrictions as the original Award for the duration of the Restricted Period. Upon cash dividends being paid on outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, dividend equivalents shall be credited in respect of Restricted Stock Units, which shall be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units, which will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the underlying Restricted Stock Units including the same vesting restrictions as the underlying Evidence of Award. Upon stock dividends being paid on outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock or a Change in Control, the Administrator is authorized to take such actions and make such changes with respect to outstanding Awards as are consistent with the Plan and this Statement of Terms and Conditions to effect the terms of the Awards.
D.No Stockholder Rights for Restricted Stock Units. Neither a Participant nor any person entitled to exercise a Participant’s rights in the event of the Participant’s death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Share Equivalents subject to an award of Restricted Stock Units except to the extent that a stock certificate (or other evidence of ownership) has been issued by the Company with respect to such Shares upon the payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units.
E.Time of Payment of Restricted Stock Units.
1.Subject to Section VI. E. 2 below, upon the lapse of the restriction imposed on Restricted Stock Units, all Restricted Stock Units that were not forfeited pursuant to Sections VI. B. 1 or VII shall be paid to the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the restrictions lapse but not later than 75 days following the date on which the restrictions lapse. Payment shall be made in Shares.
2.To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to Section VI. E of this Statement of Terms and Conditions during the six-month period immediately following a Participant’s termination of service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) or upon the Participant’s death, if earlier.

VII.CHANGE IN CONTROL
A.Effect of Change in Control on Option Rights. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing Company or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiror”) may, without the consent of any Participant, either assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under outstanding Option Rights or substitute for outstanding Option Rights substantially equivalent options covering the Acquiror’s stock. All Option Rights assumed or continued by the Acquiror in connection with a Change in Control will become fully vested and exercisable if the Participant’s service is terminated without Cause at any time during the 12-month period following the Change in Control.
Any Option Rights granted one year or more prior to the Change in Control that is neither assumed nor continued by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control shall, contingent on the Change in Control, become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Change in Control. Any Option Right granted less than one year prior to the Change in Control that is neither assumed nor continued by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control shall, to the extent not previously vested and exercisable, immediately prior to the Change in Control become vested and exercisable as to the number of Shares subject to such Option Rights equal to (i) the number of Shares originally subject to such Option Rights, multiplied by a fraction (ii) the number of whole months between the Date of Grant and the Change in Control, divided by (iii) the number of months between the Date of Grant and the date on which all Shares originally subject to such Option Rights would have been fully vested and exercisable; and such Option Rights shall terminate with respect to all remaining Shares subject to such Option Rights.
B.Effect of Change in Control on Awards Other than Option Rights. In the event of a Change in Control, the Acquiror may, without the consent of any Participant, either assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under outstanding Awards other than Option Rights or substitute for such Awards substantially equivalent awards covering the Acquiror’s stock. All Awards other than Option Rights assumed or continued by the Acquiror in connection with a Change in Control will become fully vested and all restrictions on such Awards will lapse if the Participant’s service is terminated without Cause at any time during the 12-month period following the Change in Control. Any Award that is neither assumed nor continued by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control (or, with respect to any Award that constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, any Award which at the time of the Change in Control is otherwise considered to be vested for purposes of Code Section 409A) shall, upon the Change in Control, become fully vested and all restrictions shall be released immediately prior to the Change in Control, and such Award shall become immediately payable. Notwithstanding anything in this Section VII. B to
9

the contrary, with respect to any Award that constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, if the Change in Control does not constitute a “change in control event” of the Company within the meaning of Code Section 409A, such Award will vest as provided for in the preceding sentence, but will be payable to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section VI within 75 days of the fixed date or dates pursuant to a fixed schedule determined under Section VI. E. 1 or the earlier of the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section VI. E. 2, or a Change in Control which constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
VIII.CODE SECTION 409A
A.To the extent applicable, it is intended that all Awards comply with, or be exempt from, Code Section 409A, so that the income inclusion provisions of Code Section 409A(a)(1) do not apply to any Participants. All Awards are to be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with this intent.
IX.MISCELLANEOUS
A.Grants to Participants in Foreign Countries. In making grants to Participants in foreign countries, the Administrator has the full discretion to deviate from this Statement of Terms and Conditions in order to adjust Awards under the Plan to prevailing local conditions, including custom and legal and tax requirements.
B.Information Notification. Any information required to be given under the terms of an Evidence of Award shall be addressed to the Company in writing by mail, overnight delivery service, or by electronic transmission to the Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer and the Vice President, Total Rewards. Any notice to be given to a Participant shall be given in writing by mail, overnight delivery service, or by electronic transmission.
C.Administrator Decisions Conclusive. All decisions of the Administrator administering the Plan upon any questions arising under the Plan, under this Statement of Terms and Conditions, or under an Evidence of Award, shall be conclusive.
D.No Effect on Other Benefit Plans. Nothing herein contained shall affect a Participant’s right to participate in and receive benefits from and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pensions, insurance or other employment welfare plan or program offered by the Company to its non-employee directors.
E.Tax Payments. Each Participant shall agree to satisfy any applicable federal, state or local income taxes associated with an Award.
F.Successors. This Statement of Terms and Conditions and the Evidence of Award shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of
10

the Company. “Participant” as used herein shall include the Participant’s Beneficiary.
G.Governing Law. The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this Statement of Terms and Conditions and each Evidence of Award shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
