Section 5. Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Unit Award. This Restricted Stock Unit Award shall not be transferable by Awardee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The terms of this Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be binding on the executors, administrators, heirs and successors of Awardee.
Section 6. Termination or Suspension of Employment or Service (as generally defined under Section 11 of the Plan).
(a) In the event Awardee voluntarily terminates his/her employment with Micro or an Affiliate, Awardee’s unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award will be cancelled (forfeited) on such termination date.
(b) In the event of Awardee’s Retirement, Disability or death, the forfeiture or vesting of Awardee’s unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award will be determined in accordance with the conditions listed under Section 3 above. In cases of special circumstances, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of Micro, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such Awardee’s shares of the Restricted Stock Unit Award.
(c) In the event Awardee’s employment with Micro or an Affiliate is involuntarily terminated by Micro or an Affiliate other than for cause (as defined under the 2007 LTP), Awardee’s unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award will vest in accordance with the conditions listed in Section 3 above.
(d) If Awardee’s employment or service is terminated for cause as defined above, Awardee’s unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award will be cancelled (forfeited) on such termination date. Upon Awardee’s termination for cause during the period before the Restricted Stock Unit Award has vested, Awardee forfeits Awardee’s rights to the then unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award.
(e) Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as required to comply with applicable law:
(i) If an Awardee’s employment or service with Micro or its Affiliates is terminated by reason of Retirement during the calendar year in which this Award is granted, an Awardee’s right to receive a payment under this Award shall be based on the number of full calendar months of participation as an Awardee through the termination date as the numerator, and whose denominator shall be 12.
(ii) If Awardee’s employment or service with Micro or its Affiliates is terminated by reason of Retirement following the year in which the grant was awarded, he shall have the right to receive his full payment under the Award, if any, to which he would be entitled had he remained employed through the end of the Measurement Period (as defined in the 2007 LTP) with payout based upon results at the end of the Measurement Period (as defined in the 2007 LTP).
(iii) Restrictions on all Awards will lapse following the end of the 2007 LTP performance measurement cycle in accordance with Section 3 above.
(f) Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, termination of Awardee’s employment or service for any reason shall occur on the date such Awardee ceases to perform services for Micro or any Affiliate without regard to whether such Awardee continues thereafter to receive any
2
compensatory payments therefrom or is paid salary thereby in lieu of notice of termination or, with respect to a member of the Board who is not also an employee of Micro or any Affiliate, the date such Awardee is no longer a member of the Board.
Section 7. Restrictions on Purchase and Sale of Shares. Micro shall not be obligated to sell or issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Restricted Stock Unit Award unless the shares are at that time effectively registered or exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, as applicable, local laws.
Section 8. Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action Micro or Awardee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Awardee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Awardee is and remains Awardee’s responsibility and that Micro and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, including the grant and vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the receipt of any dividends or other distributions, if any; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Award to reduce or eliminate Awardee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
Prior to a taxable event, Awardee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Micro and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of Micro and/or the Employer. In this regard, Awardee authorizes Micro and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Awardee from Awardee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Awardee by Micro and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, Micro may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock that Awardee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares of Common Stock, provided that Micro only withholds the amount of shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, Awardee shall pay to Micro or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Micro or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Awardee’s participation in the Plan or Awardee’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Micro may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock if Awardee fails to comply with Awardee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.
Section 9. Adjustment. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Restricted Stock Unit Award and the price per share, if any, of such shares may be adjusted by Micro from time to time pursuant to the Plan.
Section 10. Nature of the Award. By accepting this Restricted Stock Unit Award, Awardee acknowledges that:
| (1) | the Plan is established voluntarily by Micro, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by Micro at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement; | |
| (2) | the grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Unit Award, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Unit Awards, even if Restricted Stock Unit Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past; | |
3
| (3) | all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Micro; | |
| (4) | 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 Awardee’s employment relationship at any time with or without cause; | |
| (5) | participating in the Plan is voluntary; | |
| (6) | in the event Awardee is not an employee of Micro, the Restricted Stock Unit Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with Micro; and furthermore, the Restricted Stock Unit Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of Micro; | |
| (7) | the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; | |
| (8) | if Awardee accepts the Restricted Stock Unit Award and obtains shares of Common Stock, the value of those shares of Common Stock acquired may increase or decrease in value; and | |
| (9) | in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Restricted Stock Unit Award or diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Unit Award or shares of Common Stock acquired under the Restricted Stock Unit Award resulting from termination of Awardee’s employment by Micro or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Awardee irrevocably releases Micro and the Employer 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, then, by signing this Award Agreement, Awardee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived Awardee’s entitlement to pursue such claim. | |
Section 11. Data Privacy. The Awardee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Awardee’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, Micro and Employer for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Awardee’s participation in the Plan.

Awardee hereby understands that Awardee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Awardee’s local human resources representative.

Section 16. Electronic Delivery. Micro may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Restricted Stock Unit Award granted under (and participation in) the Plan or future awards that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request the Awardee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Awardee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Micro or another third party designated by Micro.
