Documents&#148;), in each case, to reflect recent changes in law and administrative practice and to clarify the treatment of such awards upon a change in control (as defined in the 2010 Plan). The terms of the Revised Grant Documents will apply to
all current and future stock options, deferred stock units, and MSUs, including those awarded to the Company&#146;s &#147;named executive officers.&#148; The amounts issuable under outstanding awards granted to named executive officers under the

outstanding after the change in control and will vest on the applicable vesting date for such performance tranche, subject to the awardholder&#146;s continued service. However, any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Vested</FONT> CIC MSU that is
not assumed or substituted by a successor or acquiring entity will become fully vested, effective as of, and contingent upon, a change in control. </P>
