Long Term Incentive Award (“LTIP Award”). You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual long-term incentive equity grant program with a targeted grant fair value of $6,000,000. For the performance year 2020, you will receive a pro-rated targeted grant fair value of $3,000,000, which will be approved and granted at the first meeting of the Management Development and Compensation Committee after the Effective Date, and will be delivered 50% in Performance Stock Units (based on a Monte Carlo calculation), 30% in Stock Options (based on a Black Scholes methodology), and 20% in Restricted Stock Units ( based on the 30 day average prior to and including the grant date). All LTIP Awards will be governed by the terms and conditions consistent with awards made to other similarly situated officers of the Company.

Sign-On Award. As further consideration for your joining the Company, and in recognition of the value of the long-term incentive and bonus you stand to forfeit with your current employer, you will be provided # a cash payment in the gross amount of $1,000,000, which will be paid as soon as practical following the start of your employment, and # an award of stock options with a grant date fair market value of $1,500,000 (as determined using standard Black-Scholes methodologies and otherwise in accordance with normal Company procedures for options granted to C-suite executives). The stock award will be granted as soon as practical following the start of your employment and will vest ratably one-third each year over three years. The terms and conditions for this award shall be in accordance with the Company’s standard grant provisions for similarly situated officers.

Award Transfer Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement for Awards other than Incentive Stock Options, no Award may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No transfer of an Award by a grantee by will or by laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and an authenticated copy of the will and such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion permit the transfer of Non-Qualified Stock Options by a Participant to or for the benefit of the Participant’s Immediate Family, subject to such limits as the Committee may establish, and the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Non-Qualified Stock Options prior to such transfer. The foregoing transfer shall apply to the right to consent to amendments to any Award Agreement evidencing such Option and, in the discretion of the Committee, shall also apply to the right to transfer ancillary rights associated with such Option. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Immediate Family” shall mean any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father -in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than 50% of the voting interests.

The Board may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Participant’s consent to such action shall be required unless # the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Plan or # the change is permitted under Section 9.

Restricted Stock Award. The Company hereby grants to Holder an aggregate of ​ shares of Restricted Stock (“Award Restricted Stock”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and supplemented in this Award, including, without limitation, the restrictions more specifically set forth in Section 2 herein.

shall have a fair market value obtained by multiplying $70,000 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole calendar months remaining in the calendar year and the denominator of which is twelve. Such prorated grant shall be made upon the first trading day of the calendar month, within the Company’s open trading window, following the date such individual becomes an Eligible Director, with the number of shares determined using the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date, and rounding this number to the nearest integer multiple of one hundred (100) shares.

Nature of Award. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Award shall give the Participant any right to be retained in the employment of the Company or its Affiliates or affect the right of any such Employer to terminate the Participant. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not constitute an inducement to, or condition of, the employment of any Participant. The Plan is a discretionary plan, and participation by the Participant is purely voluntary. The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty. Participation in the Plan with respect to this Award shall not entitle the Participant to participate with respect to any other award in the future, or benefits in lieu of Performance RSUs, even if Performance RSUs have been granted in the past. Any payment or benefit paid to the Participant with respect to this Award shall not be considered to be part of the Participant’s “salary,” and thus, shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating any termination indemnity, severance pay, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payment, bonuses, long-term service awards, retirement, pension payment, welfare benefits, or any other employee benefits. In no event should the Award be considered as compensation for or relating to, past services for the Company, the Employer, or any Affiliate of the Company, nor are Performance RSUs and the Shares subject to the Performance RSUs intended to replace any pension rights or compensation. All decisions with respect to future Performance RSUs, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. The Participant’s employment or service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer providing services to the Company or one of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later to be found invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award or determined by the Company, the Participant’s right to vest in Performance RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of the date that the Participant is no longer providing services as an employee. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer providing services for purposes of the Participant’s Performance RSU grant. Unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the RSUs, the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or Award or by the Company in its discretion, the Performance RSUs and benefits evidenced by this document do not create any entitlement to have the Performance RSUs transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any Change in Control or other corporate transaction affecting the Shares. The following provisions apply only if the Participant is providing services outside the United States and/or the Company is not the Participant’s employer: In consideration of the grant of Performance RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Performance RSUs resulting from the Participant ceasing to provide services to the Company or the Employer (regardless of the reason for the termination, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of any employment agreement) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company, the Employer and any Affiliate from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting this Award, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim. Neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable to the Participant for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States dollar that may affect the value of the Performance RSU or any amounts due to the Participant in the settlement of the Performance RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

Distribution of Award. Upon the Distribution Date, a number of Shares attributable to Your Vested Award shall be distributed to You as elected under Section VI of the Plan, free and clear of any restrictions (other than restrictions arising by operation of law and the Company’s Insider Trading Practice). However, with respect to a Vested Award under Section 2(c) of this Agreement, distribution of the Shares shall be made to Your legal representative within 30 days following Your date of death.

Grant of Award. The Award consists of that number of PBRSUs that has been approved for the Award to you by the Committee as the target number of PBRSUs, as set forth in the Notice of Grant (“Target PBRSUs”). Each PBRSU is equivalent to one Share. Your rights to the PBRSUs are subject to this Agreement and the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference with the same effect as if set forth herein in full) in addition to such other terms and conditions, if any, as may be imposed by law.

SAR Award Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
