Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company or
if you experience a Termination of Employment (as defined below and
in the Plan) by reason of your death, all Stock Units will vest
immediately and automatically.
In the event ownership or issuance
of Shares is not feasible due to applicable foreign exchange
controls, securities regulations, tax laws, or other provisions of
applicable law, as determined by the Company in its sole
discretion, you shall receive cash proceeds in an amount equal to
the value of the Shares otherwise distributable to you net of
amounts withheld in satisfaction of the requirements of
Paragraph 4 below.
2. Expiration — In the event of your Termination of
Employment (as defined below and in the Plan) for any reason other
than your death, any Stock Units that have not vested will expire
at that time.
As used herein, the term
“Employment” means your regular full-time or part-time
employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and the term
“Employer” means the Company (if you are employed by
the Company) or the Affiliate of the Company that employs
you.
3. Rights as a
Stockholder —
You will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares
that may be received by you pursuant to this Agreement until those
Shares are issued and registered in your name on the books of the
Company’s transfer agent. You will have no rights to receive
dividend equivalent payments with respect to Shares that may be
received by you pursuant to this Agreement.
4. Agreement With Respect
to Taxes — You
are obligated to pay any taxes that are required to be withheld by
the Company or your Employer related to this Award. As a condition
of the receipt of this Award, prior to the vesting of the Stock
Units you agree to make such arrangements as the Company may
require in order to satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign
withholding tax obligations that the Company, in its sole
discretion, determines may arise in connection with the receipt of
an Award or the issuance of Shares (the “Tax
Obligations”). You understand that the Company shall not be
required to issue any Shares to you under the Plan unless and until
such Tax Obligations are satisfied.
The Company intends, and you hereby
authorize the Company, to satisfy the Tax Obligations by
withholding from the vested Stock Units the number of full Shares
having an aggregate market value at that time of vesting equal to
the amount the Company determines are equal to the Tax Obligations,
with the remainder to be satisfied by withholding from your wages
or other cash compensation payable by the Company or your Employer.
To the extent the Company determines that the number of Stock Units
or Shares withheld pursuant to this Paragraph is insufficient to
satisfy such Tax Obligations, you hereby authorize the Company or
your Employer to deduct from your compensation the additional
amounts necessary to fully satisfy the Tax Obligations. If the
Company chooses not to deduct such amount from your compensation,
you agree to pay the Company, in cash or by check, the additional
amount necessary to fully satisfy the Tax Obligations. You agree to
take any further actions and execute any additional documents as
may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this
Paragraph.
For Employees employed at
international (non-US) locations:
The Company or your Employer will
assess its requirements regarding tax, social insurance and any
other payroll tax (“Tax-Related Items”) withholding and
reporting in connection with the Stock Units or Shares. These
requirements may change from time to time as laws or
interpretations change. Regardless of the actions of the Company or
your Employer in this regard, Employee hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the ultimate liability for any and all Tax-Related
Items is and remains his or her responsibility and liability and
that the Company and your Employer make no representations nor
undertakings regarding treatment of any Tax-Related Items in
connection with any aspect of the grant of Stock Units and do not
commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the
Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability
regarding Tax-Related Items. In the event that the Company or your
Employer must withhold any Tax-Related Items as a result of the
grant or vesting of the Stock Units, Employee agrees to make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company or your Employer to
satisfy all withholding requirements. Employee authorizes the
Company or your Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related
Items legally due from the Employee from his or her wages or other
cash compensation paid him or her by the Company or your
Employer.
