Acknowledgment of Rights The Company agrees that, with respect to any Debentures held by the Trust or the Institutional Trustee of the Trust, if the Institutional Trustee of the Trust fails to enforce its rights under this Indenture as the holder of Debentures held as the assets of such Trust after the holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such Trust have so directed such Institutional Trustee, a holder of record of such Capital Securities may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, institute legal proceedings directly against the Company to enforce such Institutional Trustee's rights under this Indenture without first instituting any legal proceedings against such trustee or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay interest (or premium, if any) or principal on the Debentures on the date such interest (or premium, if any) or principal is otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), the Company agrees that a holder of record of Capital Securities of the Trust may directly institute a proceeding against the Company for enforcement of payment to such holder directly of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such holder on or after the respective due date specified in the Debentures.
Acknowledgment and Waiver The following provisions supplement Section 14 of the Grant Agreement: The Employee acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan. The Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on an ongoing basis except as provided in the Plan. Consequently, the Employee understands that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs or the Shares acquired upon vesting shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the RSUs shall be null and void. The RSUs are a conditional right to Shares and can be forfeited in the case of, or affected by, the Employee's termination of service or employment. This will be the case, for example, even if (1) the Employee is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) the Employee is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) the Employee terminates employment or service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) the Employee terminates employment or service due to unilateral breach of contract of the Company, the Employer, or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate; or (5) the Employee's employment or service terminates for any other reason whatsoever, except for reasons specified in the Grant Agreement. Consequently, upon termination of the Employee's employment or service for any of the reasons set forth above, the Employee may automatically lose any rights to the unvested RSUs granted to him or her as of the date of the Employee's termination of employment, as described in the Plan and the Grant Agreement.
