|
A.
|
If a Change in Control occurs and the then-outstanding and unvested portion of this Award is
not
continued following such event or assumed or converted into restricted stock units of any successor entity to the Company or a parent thereof (the “
Successor Entity
”), the continued Service vesting requirement set forth under Section 3(A) of this Award shall be deemed to be satisfied, the outstanding Restricted Stock Units subject to such portion shall be deemed vested, and such Restricted Stock Units shall be settled at the time(s) otherwise provided in Section 5; provided that if such Change in Control constitutes a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company, or a change “in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (a “
Section 409A Change in Control
”), outstanding and vested Restricted Stock Units (including any that vest pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this sentence) and related Dividend Equivalents shall be settled upon or as soon as practicable after the date of such Change in Control to the extent such acceleration of payment can be made in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) (or other exemption from the general prohibitions on accelerations of payments under Section 409A of the Code) and not result in any tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Code.

This Award and all rights of the Grantee under this Agreement are subject to, and the Grantee agrees to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, incorporated herein by this reference. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern.

Grant of Restricted Stock Units
. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant (set forth above) a right to receive a “target” of [________] shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth herein (the “
Restricted Stock Units
,” and such target number of Restricted Stock Units, the “

”). As used herein, the term “Restricted Stock Unit” shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “

The Restricted Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind.

A.
|
Subject to Section 3(B) below and except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 7 and 8 herein, this Award shall vest and become nonforfeitable on the last day of the Performance Period (as defined below) (the “
Vesting Date
”); provided that the Grantee has been continuously in Service with the Company from the Date of Grant through the Vesting Date. Except as specifically provided herein, Service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting. The number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that vest will be equal to the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units multiplied by a “
Vesting Percentage
” determined based on the Company’s TSR Percentile (as defined below) for the Performance Period in accordance with the following table:

|
“
TSR Percentile
” means the percentile ranking of the Company’s TSR among the TSRs for the Company Peer Group members for the Performance Period.
|
iii.
|
“
TSR
” means total shareholder return and shall be determined with respect to the Company and any other Company Peer Group member by dividing: (a) the sum of (1) the difference obtained by subtracting the applicable Beginning Price from the applicable Ending Price plus (2) all dividends and other distributions as to which the ex-dividend date occurs during the Performance Period (for purposes of clarity, without duplicating any dividends and other distributions as to which the ex-dividend date occurs during the period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the Performance Period that are taken into account in the determination of Ending Price) by (b) the Beginning Price. Any non-cash distributions shall be ascribed such dollar value as may be determined by or at the direction of the Committee. For the purpose of determining TSR, the value of dividends and other distributions shall be determined by treating them as reinvested in additional shares of stock at the closing market price on the corresponding ex-dividend date.
|
iv.
|
“
Beginning Price
” means, with respect to the Company and any other Company Peer Group member, the average of the closing market prices of such company’s common stock on the principal exchange on which such stock is traded for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending with the last day before the beginning of the Performance Period. For the purpose of determining Beginning Price, the value of dividends and other distributions shall be determined by treating them as reinvested in additional shares of stock at the closing market price on the corresponding ex-dividend date.

. If a cash dividend is paid with respect to the Common Stock during the Performance Period and while any Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award are outstanding, the Grantee shall be credited with an amount in cash equal to the dividends the Grantee would have received if he had been the owner of the shares of Common Stock subject to the outstanding Target Number of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that no amount shall be credited with respect to shares that have been delivered to the Grantee as of the applicable dividend record date. Any amounts credited under this Section 4 (“
Dividend Equivalents
”) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate (including, without limitation, application of the applicable Vesting Percentage) and shall vest and be paid (or, if applicable, be forfeited) at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate.
|

|
6.
|

and
a Change in Control has not previously occurred, the following shall apply with respect to this Award: (i) the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units shall be pro-rated by multiplying the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the Grantee’s employment between the first day of the Performance Period and the date of such termination of the Grantee’s employment, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period, and (ii) such pro-rated number of Target Number of Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest on the Vesting Date based on the Vesting Percentage determined under Section 3(A) as though the Grantee’s employment had not been terminated. This
|
B.
|
If, at any time prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee’s death or “Disability” (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) occurs while the Grantee is in Service with the Company
and
a Change in Control has not previously occurred, this Award will vest as of the date of such event with respect to the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units.
|
C.
|
If the Grantee’s Service terminates for any other reason, this Award and the Restricted Stock Units subject hereto, to the extent outstanding and unvested as of the date of such termination of Service, shall terminate and be cancelled as of the date of such termination of Service. Sections 14(a) and 14(b) of the Plan shall not apply to this Award.
|
D.
|
For purposes of clarity, any Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to this Section 7 (and any Dividend Equivalents related thereto) shall still be paid at the applicable time set forth in Section 5.
|
8.
|
Change in Control
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3, Section 5 or Section 7 of this Agreement or any provision of the Plan, the following provisions shall apply upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement):
|
A.
|
If a Change in Control occurs and this Award (to the extent outstanding) is
not
continued following such event or assumed or converted into restricted stock units of any successor entity to the Company or a parent thereof (the “
Successor Entity
”), this Award will vest as of the date of such Change in Control with respect to a number of Restricted Stock Units determined as follows:
|
i.
|
If the Change in Control occurs during the Company’s 2017 fiscal year, this Award shall be become vested as to the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units.
|
ii.
|

|
ii.
|
If the Change in Control occurs during the Company’s 2018 fiscal year or 2019 fiscal year, the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that shall remain eligible to vest in accordance with this Section 8(B) shall be determined as though the Performance Period ended as of the date of the Change in Control, and the Vesting Percentage under Section 3(A) shall be determined based on actual TSR performance for such shortened performance period.
|
i.
|
If the Change in Control occurs after the end of the Performance Period, an additional number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest, with the number of Restricted Stock Units vesting equal to the number necessary to cause the total number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that vest (including Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that previously vested) equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that would have vested had the pro-ration provision of Section 7(A) not applied.
|
ii.
|
If the Change in Control occurs on or before the last day of the Performance Period, the Award shall be treated as provided in Section 8(A) as though it was not continued following such event or assumed or converted into restricted stock units of any Successor Entity and the pro-ration provision of Section 7(A) shall not apply.

Definitions; Incorporation of Plan Terms
. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan, except where a capitalized term is defined in the Executive Employment Agreement between the Company and the Grantee, entered into
[
For Paul Marciano, insert:
January 26, 2016;
For Victor Herrero, insert:
July 7, 2015
]
(the “
Employment Agreement
”), and this Agreement indicates the definition used in the Employment Agreement shall apply for purposes of this Agreement as well. This Award and all rights of the Grantee under this Agreement are subject to, and the Grantee agrees to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, incorporated herein by this reference. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern.

2.

Grant of Restricted Stock Units
. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant (set forth above) a right to receive a “target” of [________] shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth herein (the “
Restricted Stock Units
,” and such target number of Restricted Stock Units, the “
Target Number of Restricted Stock Units
”). As used herein, the term “Restricted Stock Unit” shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “
Common Stock
”), solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to eventually be delivered to the Grantee if such Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 4 with respect to Dividend Equivalent rights) and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Restricted Stock Units (“
Award
|
3.
|
Vesting
. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 7 and 8 herein, this Award shall vest and become nonforfeitable on the last day of the Performance Period (as defined in
Exhibit A
hereto) (the “
Vesting Date
”); provided that the Grantee has been continuously in Service with the Company from the Date of Grant through the Vesting Date. Except as specifically provided herein, Service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting. The number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that vest will be determined based on the Vesting Percentage (as such term is defined in
Exhibit A
hereto and as calculated in accordance with
Exhibit A
based on the Company’s performance during the Performance Period).
|
4.
|
Dividend Equivalents
. If a cash dividend is paid with respect to the Common Stock after the Date of Grant and before the end of the Performance Period and while any Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award are outstanding, the Grantee shall be credited with an amount in cash equal to the dividends the Grantee would have received if he had been the owner of the shares of Common Stock subject to the outstanding Target Number of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that no amount shall be credited with respect to shares that have been delivered to the Grantee as of the applicable dividend record date. Any amounts credited under this Section 4 (“
Dividend Equivalents
”) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate (including, without limitation, application of the applicable Vesting Percentage) and shall vest and be paid (or, if applicable, be forfeited) at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate.
|
5.
|
Delivery of Shares
. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 below with respect to a Change in Control, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Grantee the number of Award Shares subject to any Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to the terms hereof as soon as administratively practicable after (and in no event later than 74 days following) the Vesting Date. Any Dividend Equivalents described in Section 4 above related to such Award Shares shall be paid in cash at the same time as the delivery of the Award Shares under this Section 5. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) in the event of the Grantee’s death or Disability (as such term is defined for purposes of Section
|
6.
|
Adjustments Upon Specified Events

|
7.
|
Effect of Certain Cessations of Service
.
|
A.
|
If, at any time prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or by the Grantee for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreement)
and
a Change in Control has not previously occurred, the following shall apply with respect to this Award: (i) the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units shall be pro-rated by multiplying the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the Grantee’s employment between the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2017 and the date of such termination of the Grantee’s employment, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the period beginning with the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2017 and ending with the last day of the Company’s fiscal year 2019, and (ii) such pro-rated number of Target Number of Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest on the Vesting Date based on the Vesting Percentage determined under
Exhibit A
as though the Grantee’s employment had not been terminated. This Section 7(A) is subject to Section 8(C) should a Change in Control occur within twelve (12) months after such a termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company. If a Change in Control occurs before the end of the Performance Period but more than twelve (12) months after such a termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company, Section 8(A) shall apply to the Award and the pro-rata vesting provision of this Section 7(A) shall be given effect in calculating the number of Restricted Stock Units that vest.
|
B.
|
If, at any time prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee’s death or “Disability” (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) occurs while the Grantee is in Service with the Company
and
a Change in Control has not previously occurred, this Award will vest as of the date of such event with respect to the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units.
|
C.
|
If the Grantee’s Service terminates for any other reason, this Award and the Restricted Stock Units subject hereto, to the extent outstanding and unvested as of the date of such termination of Service, shall terminate and be cancelled as of the date of such termination of Service. Sections 14(a) and 14(b) of the Plan shall not apply to this Award.
|
D.
|
For purposes of clarity, any Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to this Section 7 (and any Dividend Equivalents related thereto) shall still be paid at the applicable time set forth in Section 5.
|
8.
|
Change in Control
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3, Section 5 or Section 7 of this Agreement or any provision of the Plan, the following provisions shall apply upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement):
|
A.
|
If a Change in Control occurs and this Award (to the extent outstanding) is
not
continued following such event or assumed or converted into restricted stock units of any successor entity to the Company or a parent thereof (the “
Successor Entity
”), this Award will vest as of the date of such Change in Control with respect to the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units.
|
B.
|
If this Award (to the extent then outstanding) is continued following a Change in Control or is assumed or converted into restricted stock units of any Successor Entity, the performance-based vesting conditions of Section 3 shall no longer apply to this Award, and the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall remain eligible to vest on the original Vesting Date (without such date being modified due to the occurrence of the Change in Control), subject to the Grantee remaining continuously in Service with the Company following such Change in Control through the Vesting Date (subject to the accelerated vesting provisions set forth in Section 7(A) and 7(B) above); provided, however, that if a termination of the Grantee’s Service described in Section 7(A) or 7(B) above occurs after such Change in Control and prior to the Vesting Date, this
|
i.
|
If the Change in Control occurs after the end of the Performance Period, an additional number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest, with the number of Restricted Stock Units vesting equal to the number necessary to cause the total number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that vest (including Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that previously vested) equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that would have vested had the pro-ration provision of Section 7(A) not applied.
|
ii.
|
If the Change in Control occurs on or before the last day of the Performance Period, the Award shall be treated as provided in Section 8(A) as though it was not continued following such event or assumed or converted into restricted stock units of any Successor Entity and the pro-ration provision of Section 7(A) shall not apply.
|
9.
|
Restrictions on Transfer
. The Grantee may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise alienate, hypothecate or dispose of this Award or the Grantee’s right hereunder to receive Award Shares, except as otherwise provided in the Committee’s sole discretion consistent with the Plan and applicable securities laws.

|
It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code (including the Treasury regulations and other published guidance relating thereto) (“
Code Section 409A
”) so as not to subject the Grantee to payment of any additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under Code Section 409A. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted to avoid the imputation of any such additional tax, penalty or interest under Code Section 409A yet preserve (to the nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to the Grantee.
|
C.
|
If the Grantee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of the Grantee’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A), the Grantee shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit pursuant to this Award until the
|
D.
|
It is intended that this Award qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.
|
11.
|
Compliance
. The Grantee hereby agrees to cooperate with the Company, regardless of Grantee’s employment status with the Company, to the extent necessary for the Company to comply with applicable state and federal laws and regulations relating to the Restricted Stock Units.

|
13.
|
Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver

|
14.
|
Governing Law
. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to Delaware or other laws that might cause other law to govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of California, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Los Angeles County, or the federal courts for the United States for the
Central District of California, and no other courts, where this Agreement is made and/or to be performed.

|
19.
|
Committee’s Powers
.

Definitions; Incorporation of Plan Terms
. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. This Award and all rights of the Grantee under this Agreement are subject to, and the Grantee agrees to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, incorporated herein by this reference. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern.
|

Grant of Restricted Stock Units
. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant (set forth above) a right to receive a “target” of [________] shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth herein (the “
Restricted Stock Units
,” and such target number of Restricted Stock Units, the “
Target Number of Restricted Stock Units
”). As used herein, the term “Restricted Stock Unit” shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “
Common Stock
”), solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to eventually be delivered to the Grantee if such Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 4 with respect to Dividend Equivalent rights) and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Restricted Stock Units (“
Award Shares

This Award, together with the other equity awards granted by the Company to the Grantee on or about the date hereof, is in complete satisfaction of the Grantee’s right to receive stock options or other equity-based awards from the Company with respect to the Company’s 2017 fiscal year.

Exhibit A
hereto) (the “
Vesting Date
”); provided that the Grantee has been continuously in Service with the Company from the Date of Grant through the Vesting Date. Except as specifically provided herein, Service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting. The number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that vest will be determined based on the Vesting Percentage (as such term is defined in
Exhibit A
hereto and as calculated in accordance with
Exhibit A
based on the Company’s performance during the Performance Period).
|
4.
|
Dividend Equivalents
. If a cash dividend is paid with respect to the Common Stock after the Date of Grant and before the end of the Performance Period and while any Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award are outstanding, the Grantee shall be credited with an amount in cash equal to the dividends the Grantee would have received if he had been the owner of the shares of Common Stock subject to the outstanding Target Number of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that no amount shall be credited with respect to shares that have been delivered to the Grantee as of the applicable dividend record date. Any amounts credited under this Section 4 (“
Dividend Equivalents
”) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate (including, without limitation, application of the applicable Vesting Percentage) and shall vest and be paid (or, if applicable, be forfeited) at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate.

|
6.

|
B.
|
If this Award (to the extent then outstanding) is continued following a Change in Control or is assumed or converted into restricted stock units of any Successor Entity, the performance-based vesting conditions of Section 3 shall no longer apply to this Award, and the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall remain eligible to vest on the original Vesting Date (without such date being modified due to the occurrence of the Change in Control), subject to the Grantee remaining continuously in Service with the Company following such Change in Control through the Vesting Date; provided, however, that if a termination of the Grantee’s Service described in Section 7(A) above occurs after such Change in Control and prior to the Vesting Date, this Award will vest as of the date of such termination of the Grantee’s Service with respect to the Target Number of Restricted Stock Units.
