Qualifying Termination Following Change in Control. In the event the Employee involuntarily ceases to be an employee of the Employer following a Change in Control for any reason other than a termination for Cause, or voluntarily ceases to be an employee due to a Termination for Good Reason following a Change in Control, then the RSUs covered by this Agreement, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall immediately vest (without proration based on the portion of the vesting period elapsed prior to such termination) and shall be paid in cash in accordance with [Section 22(f)] of the Plan within 60 days following the earliest time set forth in [Section 22(c)] of the Plan that will not trigger a tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Committee. Such vesting shall be contingent, at the discretion of the Company, upon the Employee executing a general release (which may include an agreement with respect to engagement in detrimental activity, in a form acceptable to the Company) and such release becoming effective and irrevocable within the 60-day period following such termination.

Termination After Change in Control. If the immediate vesting described in the preceding paragraph does not apply, but the Company or a Subsidiary terminates the Grantee’s employment for any reason other than Cause within two years following the Change in Control, the RSUs and the related Dividend Equivalents will immediately vest upon such Termination of Employment (such date, if applicable, also a Vesting Date) and will be settled within 90 days of Termination of Employment in accordance with Section 2 above, unless otherwise provided in Section 10(b) below.

Upon the occurrence of an event constituting a Change in Control, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in [Section 22(b)] of the Plan, the RSUs outstanding on the date of such Change in Control, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall remain outstanding and thereafter the vesting of such RSUs, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall be subject to Employee’s continued employment with the Company or a subsidiary or an affiliate through each applicable Vesting Date as provided in this Section 3, at which time such RSUs shall vest and shall be paid in cash in accordance with [Section 22(f)] of the Plan at the earliest time set forth in [Section 22(c)] of the Plan that will not trigger a tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Committee; provided that the RSUs, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall vest and shall be paid to the extent provided in Section 8 in the event of the Employee’s termination of employment following such Change in Control and prior to a Vesting Date. Upon payment pursuant to the terms of the Plan, such awards shall be cancelled.

Termination without Cause. In the event the Employee involuntarily ceases to be an employee of the Employer on or after the nine-month anniversary of the grant date and prior to a Change in Control for any reason other than due to death, Disability or a termination for Cause, the number of RSUs scheduled to vest on the Vesting Date immediately following such termination, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall be prorated based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months elapsed since the most recent Vesting Date immediately preceding such date of termination (or, in the event such termination is prior to the first Vesting Date, the number of full months elapsed since the Date of Grant) and the denominator of which is 12, and any remaining RSUs shall be forfeited. Such prorated number of RSUs, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall immediately vest and shall be settled in accordance with Section 2 within 60 days following the Vesting Date immediately following such termination; provided that such vesting shall be contingent, at the discretion of the Company, upon the Employee executing a general release (which may include an agreement with respect to engagement in detrimental activity in a form acceptable to the Company) and such release becoming effective and irrevocable within the 60-day period following such termination. In the event the Employee involuntarily ceases to be an employee of the Employer prior to the nine-month anniversary of the grant date, the RSUs shall be cancelled and forfeited on the date of such termination.

In the event of a Change in Control (other than the liquidation or dissolution of the Company which is approved by a majority of its shareholders) that constitutes a “change in control event” under Section 409A of the Code, the RSUs will fully vest and be settled within 60 days of the Change in Control.

Treatment of RSUs and Dividend Equivalents Upon a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the RSUs and the related Dividend Equivalents will immediately vest upon such Change in Control (such date, if applicable, also a Vesting Date) and be settled at such time or within 60 days after the Change in Control if # after such Change in Control, the Stock ceases to be publicly-traded and # the Grantee does not receive Replacement Awards with respect to the RSUs and any Dividend Equivalents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Change in Control does not qualify as a change in control for purposes of Code Section 409A, any RSUs and Dividend Equivalents held by a U.S. Taxpayer will be settled within 90 days following the earliest of # the Vesting Date; # the Grantee’s Termination of Employment (or the date that is six months after the Grantee’s Termination of Employment if the Grantee is a Specified Employee, as defined in Section 10(b) below) or # the Grantee’s death or “disability” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

If both paragraph 7(c) and this paragraph 7(d) would otherwise apply in the circumstances, this paragraph 7(d) shall control. Any RSUs that vest pursuant to this paragraph 7(d) shall be payable as soon as practicable after the vesting date of the applicable installment of the RSUs specified in paragraph 5(a) that would have applied had such RSUs not vested earlier under this paragraph (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the applicable vesting date set forth in paragraph 5(a)).

Change of Control; Termination on Account of Change of Control. As set out above, in the event of a Change of Control, 100% of the Option and RSUs will become vested and exercisable. This provision supersedes any conflicting provisions relating to vesting upon a Change of Control stipulated in the Stock Option Plan and Share Unit Plan, respectively. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason within 12 months following a Change of Control, Employee shall be entitled to receive # Earned Pay, # two times (2x) the amount of Severance Pay, # two times (2x) the amount of the COBRA Cash Stipend and # the Employee’s full bonus for the prior calendar year if it has not yet been paid and the Employee’s full bonus for the current calendar year. ((ii) – # collectively, the “Change of Control Severance Pay”). The Change of Control Severance Pay shall be paid in a lump sum payment within sixty (60) days of Employee’s termination of employment; provided, that Employee has executed, delivered, and not revoked the Waiver and General Release described in Section 5.3 of this Agreement. In the event the sixty (60) day time period spans two (2) calendar years, the lump sum payment will be made in the second calendar year. The Earned Pay shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s applicable policies and applicable law. Any vested benefits to which Employee is entitled under the Employee Benefit Plans and vested RSUs and options shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the governing plan documents and agreements. Employee must satisfy, at all times, the conditions described in Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Article IV and Article VI to receive the Change of Control Severance Pay following Employee’s termination of employment. Further, upon determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that Employee has violated the restrictive covenants set forth in Article IV, Employee shall repay all Severance Pay paid to Employee following the cessation of Employee’s employment with the Company.
