This Agreement hereby supersedes and replaces the prior award agreement evidencing the Award, and you shall have no further rights under such prior agreement.

By executing this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan and the Prospectus.

1.Terminology; Conflicts. The Glossary at the end of this Agreement includes definitions of certain capitalized words used in this Agreement. All terms not defined in this Agreement (including the Glossary) have the meanings given in the Plan. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict, ambiguity or inconsistency between or among any defined term in this Agreement or the Plan, the provisions of, first, the Plan and second, this Agreement, will control in that order of priority, except in the case of Section 14 of this Agreement, which will control in all cases.

2.Terms and Conditions of Award. The following terms and conditions will apply:

(a)Vesting Condition. All of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units are nonvested and forfeitable as of the Grant Date. So long as you continue to be a Service Provider through the applicable date upon which vesting is scheduled to occur, 17,500 Restricted Stock Units will vest and become nonforfeitable on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, 17,500 Restricted Stock Units will vest and become nonforfeitable on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, 17,500 Restricted Stock Units will vest and become nonforfeitable on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, and 9,346 Restricted Stock Units will vest and become nonforfeitable on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date. So long as you continue to be a Service Provider through the applicable date upon which vesting is scheduled to occur, all 8,154 shares of Restricted Stock will vest and become nonforfeitable on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date.

(b)Continued Service Vesting Condition. In order for any of your Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to become vested and nonforfeitable, you must continue to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date. Unless this Agreement provides to the contrary, none of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will become vested and nonforfeitable after you cease to be a Service Provider, and any Restricted Stock and Restricted

(c)Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs while any of your Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units are outstanding, the following provisions shall apply:

(i)Your Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, Article XV of the Plan.

(ii) If you are a party to an employment agreement with the Company (an “Employment Agreement”) that entitles you to vest in any Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units solely as a result of a Change in Control, you will be entitled to vest in the number of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units becoming vested and nonforfeitable pursuant to the terms of your Employment Agreement. Similarly, if you are party to an Employment Agreement that entitles you to vest in any Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units as a result of a qualifying termination of employment following a Change in Control and you experience a qualifying termination of employment while any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are outstanding, the applicable number of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units becoming vested pursuant to the terms of your Employment Agreement will become vested and nonforfeitable as of the date of your qualifying termination of employment. Any Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units becoming vested and nonforfeitable pursuant to the terms of your Employment Agreement will be released or paid as provided for in Section 2(e) below.

(d)Termination of Service. If you cease to be a Service Provider for any reason, all Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that are not then vested and nonforfeitable will, after giving effect to any accelerated vesting as a result of your ceasing to be a Service Provider, be immediately forfeited for no consideration and any unvested and forfeited shares of Restricted Stock shall be automatically transferred to the Company as of the date you cease to be a Service Provider, without any other action by you.

(e)Settlement. Any shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Award that become vested and nonforfeitable shall no longer be Restricted Stock and shall immediately thereafter become unrestricted shares of Common Stock and may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated in compliance with Applicable Law, this Agreement and any other agreement to which such shares are subject. Any Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that become vested and nonforfeitable shall be paid in an equivalent number of whole shares of Common Stock (with any fractional Restricted Stock Units rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock) as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date, but in any event no later than the 15^th day of the third calendar month following the end of the calendar year in which the vesting date occurs; provided that any Restricted Stock Units that become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with or following a Change in Control will be paid no later than the 30^th day following the applicable vesting date. Upon issuance, such shares of Common Stock may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated in compliance with Applicable Law, this Agreement and any other agreement to which such shares are subject. Your settlement rights pursuant to this Agreement shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. The Company will not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

3.Restrictions on Transfer. You may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hedge, hypothecate, encumber or dispose of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) any unvested Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, and unvested Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any sale or transfer, or purported sale or transfer, shall be null and void. The Company will not be required to recognize on its books any action taken in contravention of these restrictions.

4.Issuance of Shares.

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, you may not sell the shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units unless such shares are registered under the Securities Act, or, if such shares are not then so registered, such sale would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The sale of such shares must also comply with other Applicable Law and any applicable insider trading policy of the Company governing the Common Stock and you may not sell the shares of Common Stock if the Company determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such Applicable Law or insider trading policy.

(b)The Company shall issue shares of Restricted Stock subject to the Award either: (a) in certificate form as provided in Section 4(c) below; or (b) in book entry form, registered in your name with notations regarding the applicable restrictions on transfer imposed under this Agreement. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, you shall deliver to the Company an executed stock power in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in blank, with respect to such shares.

(c)Any certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock that may be delivered to you by the Company prior to vesting shall be redelivered to the Secretary of the Company to be held until the restrictions on such shares shall have lapsed and the shares shall thereby have become vested or the shares represented thereby have been forfeited hereunder. Such certificates shall bear the following legend and any other legends the Company may determine to be necessary or advisable to comply with all Applicable Laws:

(d)Promptly after the vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement and the satisfaction of any and all related tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 5, the Company shall, as applicable, either remove the notations on any shares of Restricted Stock issued in book entry form which have vested or deliver to you, or your designated broker on your behalf, the shares electronically or a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of shares of Restricted Stock which have vested (or, in either case, such lesser number of shares as may result after giving effect to Section 5).

(e)The shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be registered in your name. The Company will deliver a share certificate to you, or deliver shares electronically or in certificate form to your designated broker on your behalf.

(f)If you are deceased (or in case of your Disability and if necessary) at the time that a delivery of share certificates pursuant to this Section 4 is to be made, the certificates will be delivered to your executor, administrator, legally authorized guardian or personal representative. The Company may at any time place legends referencing any Applicable Law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement, and the certificate shall bear such restrictive legends or restrictions as the Company, in its sole discretion, shall require. You will, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement in your possession in order to carry out the provisions of this Section 4(f).

(g)The grant of the Award and the shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the Award will be subject to and in compliance with all applicable requirements of Applicable Law with respect to such securities. No shares of Common Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the issuance of shares of Common Stock hereunder, the Company may require you to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any Applicable Law and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

(h)Postponement of Delivery. The Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock provided for under this Agreement for so long as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable to satisfy the following:

(i)the completion or amendment of any registration of such shares or satisfaction of any exemption from registration under any Applicable Law;

(ii)compliance with any requests for representations; and

(iii)receipt of proof satisfactory to the Company that a person seeking such shares on your behalf upon your Disability (if necessary), or upon your estate’s behalf after your death, is appropriately authorized.

5.Tax Withholding. Upon any vesting of the Restricted Stock or any payment of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall automatically reduce the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then Fair Market Value, to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company and the Employer with respect to such vesting or distribution of shares at the applicable withholding rates. In the event that the Company cannot legally satisfy, such withholding obligations by such reduction of shares, or in the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, the Company or the Employer shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on your behalf and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to you any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to such vesting, distribution or payment.

6.Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.

(a)Adjustment Events. Upon an Adjustment Event, the number of shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units and the number of such shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that are nonvested and forfeitable will, without further action of the Administrator, be adjusted to reflect such event pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.1 of the Plan. The Administrator may make adjustments, in its discretion, to address the treatment of fractional shares with respect to the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units as a result of the Adjustment Event. Adjustments under this Section 6 will be made by the Administrator, whose determination as to what adjustments, if any, will be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will result from any such adjustments. Any such adjustment shall be consistent with section 162(m) of the Code to the extent the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units are subject to such section of the Code.

(b)Binding Nature of Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply with equal force to any additional and/or substitute securities received by you in exchange for, or by virtue of your granting of, the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, whether as a result of any Adjustment Event or other similar event, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator. If the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units are converted into or exchanged for, or stockholders of the Company receive by reason of any distribution in total or partial liquidation or pursuant to any merger of the Company or acquisition of its assets, securities of another entity, or other property (including cash), then the rights of the Company under this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor, and this Agreement will apply to the securities or other property received upon such conversion, exchange or distribution in the same manner and to the same extent as the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

7.Dividend Rights.

(a)No ordinary cash dividends payable with respect to a share of Restricted Stock subject to this Award shall be paid until and unless such share becomes vested and transferable (the “Accumulated Dividends”). As of each date that the Company pays any Accumulated Dividends, the Company shall credit the Accumulated Dividends to a bookkeeping account on the Company’s records that shall have a value equal to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (a) the amount of the Accumulated Dividends paid on such date, divided by (b) the closing price of a share of Common Stock on that date. Any Accumulated Dividends credited pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a) will be subject to the same vesting, payment, termination and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original Restricted Stock to which they relate and shall be paid on or within ten (10) days after the date the shares of Restricted Stock vest. Shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Award and any Accumulated Dividends with respect to such shares shall be forfeited and all your rights to such shares and Accumulated Dividends shall terminate, without further obligation on the part of the Company, unless such shares of Restricted Stock become vested pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)As of each date that the Company pays an ordinary cash dividend on its outstanding Common Stock for which the related record date occurs after the Grant Date and prior to the date all Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award have either been paid or have terminated, the Company shall credit you with an additional number of Restricted Stock Units equal to (a) the amount of the ordinary cash dividend paid by the Company on a single share of Common Stock on that date, multiplied by (b) the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award outstanding and unpaid as of such record date (including any Restricted Stock Units previously credited under this Section 7(b) and with such total number subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Plan and this Agreement), divided by (c) the closing price of a share of Common Stock on that date. Any Restricted Stock Units credited pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(b) will be subject to the same vesting, payment, termination and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original Restricted Stock Units to which they relate. No crediting of Restricted Stock

8.No Right to Continued Employment or Service. The Award shall not confer upon you any right to be retained as a Service Provider, nor restrict in any way the right of your Employer, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate your employment or service relationship at any time with or without Cause (regardless of whether such termination results in (a) the failure of any Award to vest; (b) the forfeiture of any unvested or vested portion of any Award; and/or (c) any other adverse effect on your interests under the Plan). Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on you the right to receive any future Awards under the Plan.

9.Rights as Stockholder. Except as set forth in Section 7(a), you shall have the same rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock subject to the Award, including voting rights, provided that such rights shall terminate immediately as to any shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited pursuant to this Agreement. You shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock corresponding to the Restricted Stock Units granted hereby unless and until shares of Common Stock are issued to you in respect thereof. No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate or certificates are issued with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, except as provided in Section 6 and Section 7(b) of this Agreement.

10.The Company’s Rights. The existence of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units does not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, including that of its Affiliates, or any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
