• Acknowledgements and Agreements You agree, accept and acknowledge the following: (a) THE RSUS AND THIS AGREEMENT DO NOT CREATE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT FOR ANY PERIOD, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH YOUR RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY OR THE EMPLOYER TO TERMINATE YOUR EMPLOYMENT AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. (b) The delivery of the Plan, this Agreement, the Plan’s prospectus and any reports of the Company provided generally to the Company’s shareholders, may be made by electronic delivery. Such means of electronic delivery may include but do not necessarily include the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the Internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of the document via e-mail or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company. By electronically accepting this Agreement, you agree to the following: “This electronic contract contains my electronic signature, which I have executed with the intent to sign this Agreement.” (c) All decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Company regarding the Plan, this Agreement and the RSUs shall be binding, conclusive and final on you and all other interested persons. (d) The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan. (e) The grant of RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted in the past. (f) All decisions regarding future Awards, if any, will be at the discretion of the Company. (g) You are voluntarily participating in the Plan. (h) The RSUs and any underlying Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation. (i) The RSUs and any underlying Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments.

The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for the purpose of your RSU grant (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). (m) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, any right to vest in the RSUs will terminate as of the date described in the previous paragraph and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your period of service would not include any contractual notice period, period of pay in lieu of such notice, any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under applicable law). (n) No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from the termination of your employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any.
