2.12    Minimum Commitment means the minimum number of Newly Acquired Shares that a Participant must commit to hold for the Holding Period as a condition to be granted an equivalent number of Matching RSUs under the Program. The Minimum Commitment for a Participant shall, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, be the quotient of (a) the product of the percentage established for the Participant as the minimum by the Committee multiplied by the Participant’s base salary as of February 1, 2024 (the “Minimum Dollar Cap”) divided by (b) the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding April 15, 2024, with the result rounded to the nearest whole share; provided that, if the average trading price per share during the first five (5) trading days of the Acquisition Period (the “Acquisition Period Price”) is higher than the average determined pursuant to clause (b), then the Minimum Commitment will be recalculated using the Acquisition Period Price rather than the average determined pursuant to clause (b) so that the total value of the Minimum Commitment does not exceed the Minimum Dollar Cap.

(a)Establish a brokerage account with Morgan Stanley (or such other broker as the Company may designate for purposes of the Program) by the beginning of the Acquisition Period, which account shall be used to provide evidence of continuous ownership of the Newly Acquired Shares (to the extent applicable) throughout the Holding Period;

(b)Acquire Newly Acquired Shares in a number between the Minimum Commitment and the Maximum Commitment during the Acquisition Period;

(c)Provide documentation satisfactory to the Company of the Participant’s acquisition of the Newly Acquired Shares during the Acquisition Period; and

(d)Provide a written promise to the Company, in such form as is approved by the Company, to retain the Newly Acquired Shares throughout the Holding Period.
The Participant also must (x) not have entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that would create actual or potential opposite-way matching transactions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to the acquisitions of the Newly Acquired Shares and (y) agree not to engage in any opposite-way matching transactions or enter into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that could result in such transactions with respect to the acquisitions of Newly Acquired Shares.
If the Participant satisfies each of the requirements set forth above and continues to retain the Newly Acquired Shares and remain in the employment of the Company (and its affiliates) until the Grant Date, then the Company will, as soon as practicable following the end of the Acquisition Period, grant the Participant one Matching RSU for each such Newly Acquired Share as specified in the Participant’s Award Letter.

4.    Holding Period for the Newly Acquired Shares
The Participant must agree that the Newly Acquired Shares with respect to which Matching RSUs are granted under this Program will not be sold, transferred, diversified, pledged or hedged, prior to the vesting of such related Matching RSUs. Any such sale, transfer, diversification, pledge or hedge prior to the end of the Holding Period shall be
4

deemed to disqualify the Newly Acquired Shares from being considered Newly Acquired Shares for purpose of this Program and, as a result, a number of Matching RSUs equal to the number of disqualified shares shall be immediately forfeited. The Holding Period requirement for a Newly Acquired Share shall end when the Matching RSU to which such Newly Acquire Share relates vests.
5.    Vesting of Matching RSUs
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein or determined by the Committee, all Matching RSUs will cliff vest on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the last day of the Acquisition Period and be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock or cash in accordance with the terms of the Matching RSU award agreement and the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
6.     Potential Dividend Equivalents
The Participant may receive any dividend equivalents payable with respect to the Matching RSUs from the Grant Date until the Matching RSUs vest to the extent so provided in the Matching RSU award agreement. If any Matching RSUs are forfeited hereunder, the dividend equivalents credited with respect to such Matching RSUs shall also be forfeited.
7.     Disability or Death
If a Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates as a result of Disability or death prior to the date on which the Matching RSUs granted under this Program have vested in full, then the Participant will vest in a prorated portion of the Participant’s outstanding Matching RSUs (rounded up to the nearest whole share) representing the portion of the full vesting period prior to such termination, and such Matching RSUs will be settled as provided in the award agreement.
8.     Forfeiture of Matching RSUs
Except as Section 9.4 may otherwise provide in connection with a Change of Control, if the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates for any reason other than Disability or death prior to the date on which the Matching RSUs granted under this Program have vested in full, then all rights in and to any and all Matching RSUs granted pursuant to this Program that have not vested shall be forfeited upon such termination. In addition, any Matching RSUs granted pursuant to this Program shall be forfeited in the following circumstances:
8.1    Transfer of Newly Acquired Shares -- If the Newly Acquired Shares to which the Matching RSUs relate are sold or otherwise transferred by the Participant prior to the vesting of such Matching RSUs, then an equal number of Matching RSUs shall be forfeited; provided that if the number of Newly Acquired Shares held by the Participant falls below the Participant’s Minimum Commitment prior to the end of the Holding Period, then all of the Matching RSUs granted under the Program shall be immediately forfeited as of the date the Minimum Commitment is no longer met; and
8.2    Transfer of Other Shares – If, during the period commencing six (6) months prior to the commencement of the Acquisition Period and ending six (6) months after the end of the Acquisition Period, the Participant sells or otherwise transfers shares of the Company’s common stock that the Participant owned at the
5

beginning of such period, then an equal number of Matching RSUs to the number of shares so transferred shall be forfeited. For this purpose, shares in the Participant’s 401(k) plan account will not be considered as shares “owned’ by the Participant.
9.    Miscellaneous
