WHEREAS, AMO, pursuant to the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”), wishes to grant to you the opportunity and right to receive shares of common stock, shares of restricted stock, or restricted stock units (the “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement and in the attached Performance Award Certificate, which is made a part of this Agreement. Any capitalized words used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in the Plan.

follows:

1. Performance Award. AMO hereby grants to you, effective as of the Grant Date, a performance award (the “Performance
Award”) representing the right to receive the Award, as set forth in the attached Performance Award Certificate and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Performance Award Certificate and the Plan. The Performance
Award, to the extent it becomes payable, shall be paid in the form set forth in the Performance Award Certificate. You will not be required to pay any purchase price for the Performance Award.

be set forth in the Performance Award Certificate (the “Performance Period”). The performance goals for purposes of determining whether, and the extent to which, the Performance Award will be paid are set forth in Exhibit 1 to this
Agreement, which Exhibit is made a part of this Agreement.

3. Payment. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this
Agreement, the Performance Award shall be paid as soon as practicable after the Committee determines, in its discretion after the end of the Performance Period, whether and to what extent the performance goals have been achieved in accordance with
the terms set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement. After the Performance Award becomes payable pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 5 hereof, and following payment of any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Company shall
promptly cause the Award to be issued to you or your legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be.

Forfeiture. Except as otherwise provided in a written agreement between you and the Company or as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, in the event of termination of your employment with the Company during the Performance Period, the
Performance Award and your right to receive any Award shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited.

5. Change in Control.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, you may be entitled to receive a payment of the Performance Award as set forth in Exhibit 1 to this
Agreement. Such payment, if appropriate pursuant to Exhibit 1, shall be made in cash, regardless of the form of Award otherwise set forth herein, within 60 days of the date of the Change in Control. If a payment is made pursuant to this
Section 5, no payment shall be made pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.

Award, and the right to receive the Award, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and no attempt to transfer the Performance
Award, and the right to receive the Award, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest the transferee with any interest or right in or with respect to the Performance Award or the Award. No








transfer by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution of the Performance Award shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee
shall have been furnished with written notice of such transfer and a copy of the will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer.

or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are your sole and absolute responsibility, are
withheld or collected from you.
