1.Grant of Performance Units. The Company hereby grants to the individual (the
“Participant”) named in the Notice of Performance Unit Grant of this Award Agreement (the “Notice
of Grant”) under the Plan an Award of Performance Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions
in this Award Agreement (including Exhibit B) and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by
reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and
conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.
2.Company’s Obligation to Deliver and Settle. Each Performance Unit represents the
right to receive one share of the Company’s Class B common stock (a “Share”), subject to the terms
of this Award Agreement (including Exhibit B). Unless and until the Performance Units will have
vested in the manner set forth in Exhibit B, Participant will have no right to settlement of any such
Performance Units. Prior to actual settlement of any Vested Performance Units (as defined in
Exhibit B), such Performance Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable
(if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.
3.Vesting. The Performance Units awarded by this Award Agreement will be earned
and will vest in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, Exhibit B.
4.Settlement after Vesting. Subject to Section 6, any Vested Performance Units will be
settled to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his properly designated beneficiary or
estate) in whole Shares. Such Vested Performance Units shall be settled in whole Shares as soon as
practicable after the applicable Vesting Date (as defined in Exhibit B), but in each such case within
sixty (60) days following the applicable Vesting Date, and in no event later than the date that is two
and one-half months following the end of the fiscal year of the Company in which the Performance
Units cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code. In no event will Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of
payment of any Vested Performance Units payable under this Award Agreement.
5.Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this
Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated
beneficiary (to the extent such designation is permitted by the Company and the Company has
determined it to be valid under applicable law), or if no beneficiary has been validly designated or no
beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such
transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b)
evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with
any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

liability for any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or
other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to
Participant (collectively, the “Tax Obligations”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may
