Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested
on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Corporate Change (as
such term is defined in the Plan), or (ii) the date
Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by
reason of death or disability (as determined by the Company or
employing Subsidiary). In the event Employee’s
employment is terminated for any other reason, including retirement
with the approval of the Company or employing Subsidiary, the
Committee which administers the Plan (the “Committee”)
or its delegate, as appropriate, may, in the Committee’s or
such delegate’s sole discretion, approve the acceleration of
the vesting of any or all Restricted Stock Units not theretofore
vested, such vesting to be effective on the date of such approval
or Employee’s termination date, if later.
(d)
Shareholder Rights . The Employee shall
have no rights to dividends, dividend equivalents or any other
rights of a shareholder with respect to shares of Stock subject to
this award of Restricted Stock Units unless and until such time as
the award has been settled by the transfer of shares of Stock to
the Employee.
(e)
Settlement and Delivery of Stock . Payment
of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as
administratively practicable after vesting. Settlement
will be made by payment in shares of Stock or cash in accordance
with the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock if
counsel to the Company determines that such sale or delivery would
violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any
governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement
of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon
which the Stock is listed or quoted. The Company shall
in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to
cause the delivery of shares of Stock to comply with any such law,
rule, regulation or agreement.
Furthermore, Employee understands that the laws
of the country in which he/she is working at the time of grant or
vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or at the subsequent sale of
shares of Stock granted to Employee under this Award (including any
rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax,
labor or other matters) may subject Employee to additional
procedural or regulatory requirements he/she is solely responsible
for and will have to independently fulfill in relation to ownership
or sale of such shares.
Employee further understands and agrees that the
Company and any related company are neither responsible for any
foreign exchange fluctuations between Employee’s local
currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of
Stock nor liable for any decrease in the value of Stock.
3.
Withholding of Tax . The Committee may
make such provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding
of any taxes which it determines is required in connection with
this award of Restricted Stock Units, and, unless otherwise
approved by the Committee, the Company shall either (i) reduce the
number of shares of Stock that would have otherwise been delivered
to Employee by a number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market
Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (ii) withhold
the appropriate amount of any taxes due in accordance with the
Company’s payroll procedures applicable to the
Employee.
4.
Employment Relationship . For purposes of
this Agreement, Employee shall be considered to be in the
employment of the Company as long as Employee remains an employee
of the Company or any Subsidiary, or a corporation or a subsidiary
of such corporation assuming or substituting a new award for this
award of Restricted Stock Units. Any question as to
whether and when there has been a termination of such employment,
and the cause of such termination, shall be determined by the
Committee, or its delegate, as appropriate, and its determination
shall be final.
Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended
to constitute or create a contract of employment, nor shall it
constitute or create the right to remain associated with or in the
employ of the Company or a related company for any particular
period of time. This Agreement shall not interfere in
any way with the Company or a related company’s right to
terminate Employee’s employment at any
time. Furthermore, this Agreement, the Plan, and any
other Plan documents are not part of Employee’s
employment contract, if any, and do not guarantee either
Employee’s right to receive any future grants under such
Agreement or Plan or the inclusion of the value of any grants in
the calculation of severance payments, if any, upon termination of
employment.
5.
Data Privacy . In order to perform its
obligations under the Plan or for the implementation and
administration of such Plan, the Company may collect, transfer,
use, process, or hold certain personal or sensitive data about
Employee. Such data includes, but is not limited to
Employee’s name, nationality, citizenship, work
authorization, date of birth, age, government or tax identification
number, passport number, brokerage account information, address,
compensation and equity award history, and beneficiaries’
contact information. Employee explicitly consents to the
collection, transfer (including to third parties in
Employee’s home country or the United States or other
countries, such as but not limited to human resources personnel,
legal and tax advisors, and brokerage administrators), use,
processing, and holding, electronically or otherwise, of his/her
personal information in connection with this or any other equity
award. At all times, the Company shall maintain the
confidentiality of Employee’s personal information, except to
the extent the Company is required to provide such information to
governmental agencies or other parties; such actions will be
undertaken by the Company only in accordance with applicable
law.
6.
Mode of Communications . Employee agrees,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, in lieu of receiving
documents in paper format, to accept electronic delivery of any
documents that the Company or related company may deliver in
connection with this grant and any other grants offered by the
Company, including prospectuses, grant notifications, account
statements,
annual or
quarterly reports, and other communications. Electronic
delivery of a document may be made via the Company’s email
system or by reference to a location on the Company’s
intranet or website or website of the Company’s agent
administering the Plan.
To the extent Employee has been provided with a
copy of this Agreement, the Plan, or any other documents relating
to this Award in a language other than English, the English
language documents will prevail in case of any ambiguities or
divergences as a result of translation.

contained in this Agreement shall in any way terminate, modify or
alter, or be construed or interpreted as terminating, modifying or
altering any of the powers, rights or authority vested in the

Plan, including, without limitation, the right to make certain
