Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx and Conditions of the
Director Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement for Awards to Grantees
Residing Outside the United States
This Annex 1 includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Share Units granted to a Grantee who resides outside the United States. These terms are general in nature and based on securities, tax and other laws that are often complex and subject to frequent change. As such, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on this summary as your only source of information relating to the consequences of your Director Restricted Share Unit Award and participation in the Plan and further that you consult your personal tax or legal advisors for advice as to how the laws in your country apply to your situation. Finally, note that if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are providing Service, additional requirements, other than those described herein, may be applicable to you.
A. | Nature of Award. |
i. | The Restricted Share Units are an extraordinary item that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered for the Company or any Affiliate and which are outside the scope of the Grantee’s contract, if any; |
ii. | The Restricted Share Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; |
iii. | The Restricted Share Units are not part of fixed, normal or expected compensation, salary or terms of Service for any purposes, including, without limitation, 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, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof; and |
iv. | Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer or otherwise give rise to any acquired rights and the Grantee’s acceptance and acknowledgment of this award shall constitute a waiver of any and all claims to the contrary. |
B. | Section 4 of this Agreement is amended to include the following additional subsection at the end thereof: |
“(d) No Acquired Rights. In the event of termination of the Grantee’s Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the
Annex 1-1
Grantee’s right to vest in the Restricted Share Units (and all Cash Bonus Payments related to such unvested Restricted Share Units) under the Plan, if any, will, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Plan, terminate effective as of the date that the Grantee is no longer actively serving on the Board and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., a period of “garden leave”) mandated under local law. In consideration of the award, the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and any Affiliate thereof from any claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arising from forfeiture of the Restricted Share Units (and all Cash Bonus Payments related to such unvested Restricted Share Units) resulting from termination of the Grantee’s Service.”
C. | Data Privacy. |
The Grantee hereby explicitly consents to the collection, processing, transmission and storage, in any form whatsoever, of any data of a professional or personal nature described in this Agreement, the Plan and any other grant materials by and among as applicable, the Company or any Affiliates thereof that is necessary, in the discretion of the Company, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Company may share such information with any party located in the United States or elsewhere, including any trustee, registrar, administrative agent, broker, stock plan service provider or any other person assisting the Company with the implementation, administration, and management of this Director Restricted Share Unit Award and the Plan. The Grantee thus authorizes the Company and its Affiliates and any possible recipients described herein to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the data in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose described herein. The Grantee understands that he or she may refuse or withdraw such consent or authorization without cost by contacting his or her local human resources representative; provided, however, that the Grantee understands that such refusal or withdrawal may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.
