Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a), in the event of a Change in Control, if the Awards are not assumed or replaced with awards of substantially equal value by the acquiring entity in such a Change in Control and/or cease to remain outstanding immediately following the Change in Control, all of the Retention Stock Units subject to a Participant’s Award will become fully vested as of the date immediately following such Change in Control, provided the Participant has remained continuously employed by the Company or a Related Company through such date. After a Change in Control, references to the “Company” as they relate to the Award shall refer to the successor entity.

Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a), in the event of a Change in Control, if the Awards are not assumed or replaced with awards of substantially equal value by the acquiring entity in such a Change in Control and/or cease to remain outstanding immediately following the Change in Control, all of the Restricted Stock Units subject to a Participant’s Award will become fully vested as of the date immediately preceding such Change in Control, provided the Participant has remained continuously employed by the Company or a Related Company through such date. After a Change in Control, references to the “Company” as they relate to the Award shall refer to the successor entity.

Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a), in the event of a Change in Control while the Participant remains in employment, if the Awards are not assumed or replaced with awards of substantially equal value by the acquiring entity in such a Change in Control and/or cease to remain outstanding immediately following the Change in Control, each Participant will earn, as of the effective date of the Change in Control, the Achieved Shares determined for the Participant at the end of the Measurement Period pursuant to Section 2, but in no event less than 100% of the target number of the Participant’s Performance Shares. After a Change in Control, references to the “Company” as they relate to this Plan shall refer to the successor entity.

Change in Control in which Awards are Assumed or the Company is the Surviving Entity. If a Change in Control occurs and the Company is the surviving entity and any adjustments necessary to preserve the intrinsic value of the Participant’s outstanding Awards have been made, or the Company’s successor at the time of the Change in Control irrevocably assumes the Company’s obligations under this Plan or replaces the Participants’ outstanding Awards having substantially the same intrinsic value and having terms and conditions no less favorable to the Participant than those applicable to the Participants’ Awards immediately prior to the Change in Control, then such Awards or their replacement awards shall become immediately exercisable, in full, only if within two years after the Change in Control the Participant’s employment:

If the purchaser, successor or surviving corporation (or parent thereof) (each, a “Successor”) so agrees, some or all outstanding Awards shall be assumed, or replaced with the same type of award with similar terms and conditions, by the Successor in the Change of Control transaction. If applicable, each Award which is assumed by the Successor shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change of Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Participant upon the consummation of such Change of Control had the Award been exercised, vested or earned immediately prior to such Change of Control, and other appropriate adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Award shall be made. Upon the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Successor in connection with or within twenty-four (24) months following the Change of Control for any reason other than an involuntary termination by the Successor for cause or a voluntary termination by the Participant without good reason (as defined by the policies generally applicable to employees of the Successor), all of the Participant’s Awards that are in effect as of the date of such termination shall be vested in full or deemed earned in full (assuming the maximum performance goals provided under such Award were met, if applicable) effective on the date of such termination.

In the event of a Change in Control, except as otherwise set forth in an applicable Award Agreement, the surviving or purchasing corporation or other entity (or ultimate parent thereof), as the case may be (the “buyer”), may, without the consent of any Participant, either assume the Company’s rights and obligations under outstanding Awards, or substitute such Awards with substantially equivalent Awards covering shares of the buyer’s stock, with terms no less favorable than the terms of the Awards they replace. Except as set forth in an applicable Award Agreement, in the event that outstanding and unvested Awards or portions thereof are not assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, such Awards or portions thereof shall immediately vest and shall be settled in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control), within twenty (20) days following such Change in Control (except to the extent that settlement of an Award must be made pursuant to its original schedule or following a six-month delay in order to comply with Code §409A), notwithstanding that the applicable performance period, retention period or other restrictions and conditions have not been completed or satisfied. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, any performance criteria associated with Awards that are not assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control shall be deemed satisfied based on the greater of target performance and projected performance.

Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, within the two-year period immediately following the occurrence of a Change in Control pursuant to which the outstanding Awards under the Plan are assumed or converted into awards under another plan of a successor entity or business, the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or terminated by the Participant for Good Reason, any remaining conditions on forfeiture with respect to the Units shall immediately lapse. However, if a Change in Control occurs pursuant to which the outstanding Awards under the Plan are not assumed or converted into awards under another plan of a successor entity or business, any remaining conditions on forfeiture with respect to the Units shall immediately lapse.

Vesting upon Change in Control. In the event of a “Change in Control” of ​, the Restricted Stock Units shall immediately become fully vested and the shares subject to the Award shall be delivered to the Participant. The term “Change in Control” shall have the following meaning assigned to it in this Agreement. A “Change in Control” of ​ shall have occurred if # any “person” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than ​, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of ​ or any corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of ​ in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of ​), either is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d‑3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of ​ representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of ​’s then outstanding securities, # during any period of 2 consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors, and any new Director (other than a Director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with ​ to effect a transaction described in clause (i), (iii) or (iv) of this subparagraph) whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by ​’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two‑thirds (2/3) of the Directors then still in office who either were Directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the approval of the election or nomination for election of such new Directors was in connection with an actual or threatened election or proxy contest, # the stockholders of ​ approve a merger or consolidation of ​ with any other corporation, other than # a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of ​ outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of ​ or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or # a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of ​ (or similar transaction) in which no “person” (as hereinabove defined) acquires more than 30% of the combined voting power of ​’s then outstanding securities or # the stockholders of ​ approve a plan of complete liquidation of ​ or an agreement for the sale or disposition by ​ of all or substantially all of ​’s assets or any transaction having a similar effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment due under this Section 2 is deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Change in Control is not a “change in control event” that serves as a permissible payment event under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A‑3(i)(5) or such other regulation or guidance issued under Section 409A of the Code, then the Restricted Stock Units shall vest upon the Change in Control as provided above but delivery of the shares subject to the Award shall be delayed until the end of the Restriction Period.

10.1Change in Control. Except with respect to Restricted Stock Unit Awards or any other Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, an Award Agreement may provide or be amended by the Committee to provide that, unless an outstanding Award will be assumed by the surviving entity (or its parent if the surviving entity has a parent) or replaced with a comparable award of substantially equal value granted by the surviving entity (or its parent if the surviving entity has a parent), Awards granted under the Plan that are outstanding and not then exercisable or are subject to restrictions at the time of a Change in Control shall become immediately exercisable, and all restrictions shall be removed, as of such Change in Control, and shall remain as such for the remaining life of the Award as provided herein and within the provisions of the related Award Agreements or that Awards may terminate upon a Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan, a Change in Control means any of the following:

Change of Control. If the Participant has in effect an employment, retention, change of control, severance or similar agreement with the Company or any Affiliate or is subject to a policy that discusses the effect of a Change of Control on the Participant’s Awards, then such agreement or policy shall control. In all other cases, unless provided otherwise in an Award agreement or by the Committee prior to the date of the Change of Control, in the event of a Change of Control:
