recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved grants of restricted stock units (&#147;RSUs&#148;) and performance share awards (&#147;PSAs&#148;) for the following Executive Officers of the Company, as well as other senior members of
management, in the amounts set forth below. Pursuant to these long-term incentive grants, each Executive Officer or other senior member of management received an award of RSUs and PSAs valued at an amount equal to a specific percentage of his or her
respective annual base salary, with 25 percent of each award represented by RSUs and 75 percent of each award represented by PSAs. The RSUs awarded will vest ratably over a three year period based upon continued service with the Company. The PSAs
awarded will vest on January&nbsp;15, 2016 based on the Company&#146;s total shareholder return for 2013 &#150; 2015 as compared with a specified group of peer companies. The actual number of PSAs which will vest will be determined based on the
performance level achieved and may be equal to, greater than, or less than the number of PSAs specified below. In the event of a &#147;change in control&#148; (as defined in the Agreements), vesting will be accelerated pro rata to reflect time
elapsed and performance to date. The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the RSU and PSA awards are qualified by reference to the full text of the forms of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and Performance Share Award Agreement (the

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be issued unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes
which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Shares. 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 obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares. All income and other taxes related to

withhold a portion of the Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay federal, state, local and foreign income, social insurance, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company or the employing
Subsidiary with respect to the Shares, 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 Shares will be issued unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes
which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Shares. 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 obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares. All income and other taxes related to
the PSAs and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Employee. By accepting this award, the Employee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and to any additional cash withholding as provided for in this
Section&nbsp;10. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">11. <U>Rights as Shareholder</U>. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the Employee

records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee will have all the rights of a
