Vesting

  

Your RSUs vest as to the number of units indicated in the Vesting Schedule and on the Vesting Dates shown on the first page of this Award Agreement, provided you are in Service on each of the Vesting Dates and meet the applicable vesting requirements set forth in this Award Agreement. Except as specifically provided in this Award Agreement, or as may be provided in other agreements between you and Sun, no additional RSUs will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason.

Share Delivery Pursuant to Vested RSUs

Withholding Taxes

  

Regardless of any action Sun takes with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding with respect to this Award Agreement ("Tax-Related Items"), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is your responsibility and that Sun:

 

  

•        is not making any representations and is not committing to take any actions regarding any Tax-Related Items, including, but not limited to, the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, the delivery of shares of Stock upon vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs, and the receipt of any dividends; and

 

  

•        does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

 

  

Before any Tax-Related Items become due, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Sun to satisfy those Tax-Related Items. If permissible under local law, you authorize Sun to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you by one or a combination of the following:

 

  

•        withholding from cash compensation paid to you by Sun;

 

  

•        withholding proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs;

 

  

•        arranging for the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs; and/or

•        withholding shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to you, provided that Sun only withholds the number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount or such other amount as determined by Sun not to result in negative accounting consequences, rounding up to the nearest whole share of Stock.

 

  

If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares of Stock as described herein, you will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock to which you are entitled pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs even though a portion of those shares of Stock will be withheld for the purpose of satisfying the Tax-Related Items.

 

  

Further, if you have relocated to a different jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any taxable event, you acknowledge that Sun may be required
