AMENDED AND RESTATED 1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN
AMENDED AND RESTATED 1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN
STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (DEFERRED STOCK UNITS)
1.Grant. The Company hereby grants to the participant named in the Notice of Grant (the “Participant”) an Award of restricted stock units (“Stock Units”), subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 15 of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the same meaning as ascribed in the Plan.
2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. It is a bookkeeping entry that represents only the Company's unfunded and unsecured promise to issue Shares (or distribute cash) on a future date. As a holder of Stock Units, Participant has no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company. Unless and until the Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Section 3, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Stock Units, such Stock Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate or legal representative) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 7.
Subject to the provisions of Section 4, such vested Stock Units will be paid in Shares in accordance with Participant’s applicable Stock Unit Election Form entered into with respect to the grant of Stock Units for the calendar year of the date of grant (the “Election Form”). The Company and Participant acknowledge and agree that this Award of Stock Units is considered deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A (as defined below) and is intended to comply with the same so as to avoid the imposition of additional taxes thereunder.
Notwithstanding anything in the Election Form to the contrary, the Administrator reserves the authority in its sole discretion to settle all Shares deferred under the Election Form upon a “change in control” of the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A) in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(ix).
3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 4, and subject to Section 5, the Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, unless Participant has provided Continuous Service (defined below) from the date of grant until the date such vesting occurs. If you go on an approved leave of absence, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Grant will be adjusted to suspend vesting in accordance with the terms and conditions governing the approved leave of absence and, if applicable, the Company’s
leave of absence policy as then in effect and as the Company may adopt and/or adjust from time to time. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Continuous Service” means that a Participant’s employment and/or consulting relationship with the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary or service as an Outside Director is not interrupted or terminated. Continuous Service is not interrupted by (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company; (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, a Parent, a Subsidiary, or any successor; or (iii) changes in status from Employee to Consultant or Outside Director or from Consultant or Outside Director to Employee.
4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.
For U.S. tax purposes, notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Stock Units is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination of Continuous Service (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination of Continuous Service and (y) the payment of such accelerated Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the six (6) month period following Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, then the payment of such accelerated Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, unless the Participant dies following his or her termination of Continuous Service, in which case, the Stock Units will be paid in Shares to the Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Stock Units provided under this Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code and any Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.
5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Continuous Service. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination of Continuous Service for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate. The date on which Continuous Service terminates shall not be extended by any notice of termination period requested to be given under local law; such termination date will be considered to be the last date of active employment.
6. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary (or legal representative for employees outside the U.S.) survives Participant, the administrator, executor or legal representative of Participant’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any local or
foreign laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.
7. Withholding of Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Stock Unit, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Stock Unit, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Stock Unit, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Stock Unit to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company, the Employer and/or any Subsidiary; or
(ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Stock Unit either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
(iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement of the Stock Unit.
To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Stock Unit, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of Participant’s participation in the Plan.
Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described in
this Section.
If Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations hereunder at the time any applicable Stock Units otherwise are scheduled to vest pursuant to Sections 3 or 4, Participant will permanently forfeit such Stock Units and any right to receive Shares thereunder and the Stock Units will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.
Notwithstanding the terms of Participant’s Election Form, the Administrator may accelerate the payment of vested Stock Units to pay for FICA tax imposed under Code Section 3101 and the income tax withholding related to such FICA amount in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(vi).
8. Rights as Shareholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.
9. Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, Participant acknowledges that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(b) the grant of the Stock Unit is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Stock Units, even if Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future Stock Unit grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;
(e) Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(f) the Stock Unit and the Shares subject to the Stock Unit are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary, and is outside the scope of Participant’s service or employment contract, if any;
(g) the Stock Unit and the Shares subject to the Stock Unit are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(h) the Stock Unit and the Shares subject to the Stock Unit are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary;
(i) the Stock Unit grant and Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company;
(j) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(k) in consideration of the Award of Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Stock Units resulting from termination of Participant’s Continuous Service with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and Participant irrevocably releases the Company, the Employer, and any Subsidiary from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim;
(l) in the event of termination of Participant’s Continuous Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Participant’s right to vest in the Stock Unit under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active Continuous Service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when I am no longer actively employed for purposes of Participant’s Stock Unit grant;
(m) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan;
(n) Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan; and
(o) the Stock Unit and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability.
10. Data Privacy Notice and Consent. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Stock Unit grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, E*Trade and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Participant understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that Participant may contact Participant’s local human resources representative.
11. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY PROVIDING CONTINUOUS SERVICE AT THE WILL OF THE EMPLOYER AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT FOR CONTINUOUS SERVICE FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE EMPLOYER TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S CONTINUOUS SERVICE AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

Where the Company determines that the delivery of the payment of any Shares will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of Shares will no longer cause such violation. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such U.S. state or federal law, or any local or foreign securities exchange, and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to Participant’s situation.

Participant agrees that, if Participant does not pay or the Employer or the Company does not withhold from Participant the full amount of income tax that Participant owes at vesting of the Stock Unit, or the release or assignment of the Stock Unit for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Stock Unit (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Xxx 0000, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by Participant to the Employer, effective 90 day after the Taxable Event.
