Award. Effective as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Date of Grant”), the Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of DSUs set forth in the Grant Notice on the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference as a part of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control. To the extent vested, each DSU represents the right to receive one share of Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan. Unless and until the DSUs have become vested in the manner set forth in the Grant Notice, the Participant will have no right to receive any shares of Stock or other payments in respect of the DSUs. Prior to settlement of this Award, the DSUs and this Award represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), , (the “Company”), hereby grants to the individual listed below (“you” or the “Participant”) the number of deferred restricted stock units (the “DSUs”) set forth below. This award of DSUs (this “Award”) is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Deferred Stock Unit Grant Notice (this “Grant Notice”), in the Deferred Stock Unit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Agreement”) and in the Plan, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan or the Agreement.

Settlement of DSUs. Subject to [Section 21], on the earlier of # the first to occur of # the third anniversary of the Date of Grant and # the consummation of a Change of Control; and # the first anniversary of the Participant’s Separation due to the Participant’s death (the earlier of the dates in the preceding clauses (a) and (b), the “Settlement Date”) but in no event later than 30 days after the Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or, if applicable, the Participant’s estate) a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of DSUs subject to this Award that have become vested. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Participant have a right to receive any shares of Stock in respect of DSUs that remain unvested as of the Settlement Date. All shares of Stock issued hereunder shall be delivered either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares to the Participant or by entering such shares in book-entry form, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The value of shares of Stock shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time. Neither this [Section 4] nor any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement shall be construed to create a trust or a funded or secured obligation of any kind. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this [Section 4], the Participant may elect to defer the delivery of the shares of Stock in settlement of the DSUs pursuant to the Deferred Stock Units Deferral Election Form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Any such deferral election shall be made in compliance with such rules and procedures as the Committee prescribes from time to time.
