RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS Restricted Stock Unit This grant is an award of Restricted Stock Units in the Transferability number of units set forth on the cover sheet, subject to the vesting and other conditions described below (“RSUs”). Your RSUs may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the RSUs be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Definitions Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement are defined in the Plan, and have the meaning set forth in the Plan. Vesting Your right to the RSUs under this Agreement vests as to the total number of Shares covered by this grant, as shown on the cover sheet, on (i) to the extent any deferral election (any “Deferral Election”) under the Company’s Supplemental Plan has been made with respect to the RSUs, the first anniversary of the Date of Grant shown on the cover sheet or (ii) to the extent no Deferral Election applies, the earlier of (a) the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in the year following the year in which the Date of Grant shown on the cover sheet occurs and (b) the first anniversary of the Date of Grant shown on the cover sheet (the “Vesting Date”), provided you have continued in service (“Service”) with the Company or a Subsidiary as a Director, Employee or Consultant until such Vesting Date. No additional RSUs will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason except as provided below. Forfeiture of Unvested Units In the event that your Service terminates for any reason prior to the Vesting Date, then, except as otherwise provided herein, you will forfeit to the Company all of the RSUs that have not yet vested or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for full or partial vesting of your RSUs in connection with the termination of your Service, including, but not limited to, termination of your Service as a result of your death or disability. Change in Control In the event of a Change in Control while your RSUs remain outstanding, the applicable provisions of Section 21 of the 4827-6636-0767.2

Plan shall govern the treatment of your RSUs as provided therein. Delivery Following the vesting of the RSUs hereunder and at the time provided in this Agreement, but subject to any applicable Deferral Election, the Company will issue to you the Shares to which such vested RSUs relate and pay any related Dividend Equivalents (as defined below). You will have no further rights with regard to an RSU once the Share related to such RSU has been issued and any related Dividend Equivalents have been paid. Subject to any applicable Deferral Election, within seventy (70) days following the Vesting Date (or such earlier date as your RSUs become vested and payable hereunder), the Shares deliverable to you shall be issued, together with any related Dividend Equivalents. Upon settlement, a number of RSUs equal to the number of Shares represented thereby shall be extinguished and such number of RSUs will no longer be considered to be outstanding for any purpose. Shareholder Rights; Dividend You do not have any of the rights of a shareholder with Equivalents respect to the RSUs. However, from and after the Grant Date and until the earlier of (i) to the extent no Deferral Election applies, the time when the Shares underlying the vested RSUs (if any) are delivered to you in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) to the extent a Deferral Election applies, the vesting date of the deferred RSUs, or (iii) the time that the RSUs are forfeited in accordance with this Agreement, on each date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of its Shares generally, the Company will credit to your account hereunder the right to receive a cash amount equal to the product of (x) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per Share on such date multiplied by (y) the total number of unpaid RSUs credited to your account under this Agreement as of such date (a “Dividend Equivalent”). Subject to and conditioned upon the vesting of the underlying RSUs, the aggregate amount of all Dividend Equivalents credited to your account hereunder shall be paid to you in cash (without interest), at the same time that the Shares underlying your vested RSUs are delivered to you (or, to the extent a Deferral Election applies, when the deferred RSUs vest), and your right to receive any such Dividend Equivalents shall be automatically and correspondingly forfeited to the extent 4827-6636-0767.2

that the underlying RSUs are forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. To the extent a Deferral Election applies, any dividend equivalents credited subsequent to the vesting of the deferred RSUs will be governed by the terms of the Company’s Supplemental Plan. Adjustments In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Shares, the number of RSUs covered by this grant shall be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Your RSUs shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.
