2014 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

 

Restricted Stock   This Agreement evidences an award of Shares in the number set forth on the cover sheet and subject to the vesting and other conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and on the cover sheet (the “Restricted Stock”).
   
Transfer of Unvested Restricted Stock   Except as authorized by the Committee in writing, unvested Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted Stock be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. If you attempt to do any of these things without the Committee’s written authorization, the Restricted Stock will immediately become forfeited.
   
Issuance and Vesting   The Company will issue your Restricted Stock in the name set forth on the cover sheet.
   
    Your rights under this Restricted Stock grant and this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the cover sheet so long as you continue in Service through the vesting dates set forth on the cover sheet.
   
Evidence of Issuance   The issuance of the Shares under the grant of Restricted Stock evidenced by this Agreement shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry, direct registration or issuance of one or more share certificates, with any unvested Restricted Stock bearing the appropriate restrictions imposed by this Agreement. As your interest in the Restricted Stock vests, the recordation of the number of Restricted Stock attributable to you will be appropriately modified if necessary.
   
Forfeiture of Unvested Restricted Stock   Unless the Termination of Service triggers accelerated vesting of your Restricted Stock or other treatment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, or in an employment or any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and you, you will automatically forfeit to the Company all of the unvested Restricted Stock in the event you are no longer employed by the Company.
   
Leaves of Absence   For purposes of this Agreement, Termination of Service does not occur when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by your employer in writing if the terms of the leave provide for continued employment crediting, or when continued employoment crediting is required by applicable law. Termination of Service occurs in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee work.
     
    Your employer may determine, in its discretion, which leaves count for this purpose, and when Termination of Service occurs for all purposes under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may determine, in its discretion, that a leave counts for this purpose even if your employer does not agree.
 

 

Withholding Taxes   You agree as a condition of this grant that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the vesting or receipt of the Restricted Stock. In the event that the Company or any Affiliate determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the vesting or receipt of Shares arising from this grant, the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate (including withholding the delivery of vested Shares otherwise deliverable under this Agreement).
   
Retention Rights   This Agreement and the grant evidenced hereby do not give you the right to be retained by the Company or any Affiliate in any capacity. Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and you, the Company or any Affiliate reserves the right to effect Termination of Service at any time and for any reason.
   
Stockholder Rights   You will be entitled to receive all dividends or other distributions made on outstanding Shares. No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before an appropriate book entry is made (or your certificate is issued), except as described in the Plan.
   
    Your grant shall be subject to the terms of Section 13.2 of the Plan in the event of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.
   
Legends   If and to the extent that the Shares are represented by certificates rather than book entry, all certificates representing the Shares issued under this grant shall, where applicable, have endorsed thereon the following legends:
     
    “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN VESTING, FORFEITURE AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY AND WILL BE FURNISHED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.”
   
    To the extent the Shares are represented by a book entry, such book entry will contain an appropriate legend or restriction similar to the foregoing.
   
Clawback   If the Company adopts a “clawback” or recoupment policy, this Award will be subject to repayment to the Company to the extent so provided under the terms of such policy.
   
Applicable Law   This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Maryland, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
   
The Plan   The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference.
   
    Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan, and have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
 

 

    This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this grant; except that any written employment, consulting, confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and/or severance agreement between you and the Company or any Affiliate shall supersede this Agreement with respect to its subject matter. Any other prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this grant are superseded.
   
Data Privacy   In order to administer the Plan, the Company may process personal data about you. Such data includes, but is not limited to, information provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data about you such as your contact information, payroll information and any other information that might be deemed appropriate by the Company to facilitate the administration of the Plan.
   
    By accepting this grant, you give explicit consent to the Company to process any such personal data.
     
Code Section 409A   It is intended that this Award comply with Code Section 409A or an exemption to Code Section 409A, and this Award shall be interpreted accordingly. To the extent that the Company determines that you would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Code Section 409A as a result of any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Company. For purposes of this Award, a Termination of Service only occurs upon an event that would be a Separation from Service within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
   
Section 83(b) Election   Absent advance written consent by the Committee, you may not make an election under Code Section 83(b) with regard to this grant of Restricted Stock, and any attempt to make such an election without first obtaining such consent shall result in the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock.

By signing this Agreement, you agree to all of the terms and conditions described above and in the Plan.
