alone or jointly with others (collectively, βInventionsβ), shall be works-made-for-hire and the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the Company) shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all trade secret, patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights (collectively, βProprietary Rightsβ) of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, with the right to use the same in perpetuity in any manner the Company determines in its sole discretion, without any further payment to the Executive whatsoever. If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds shall not legally be a work-made-for-hire and/or there are any Proprietary Rights which do not accrue to the Company under the immediately preceding sentence, then the Executive hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign any and all of the Executiveβs right, title and interest thereto, including, without limitation, any and all Proprietary Rights of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, to the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the Company, any of its Affiliates), and the Company or such Affiliates shall have the right to use the same in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner determined by the Company or such Affiliates without any further payment to the Executive whatsoever. As to any Invention that the Executive is required to assign, the Executive shall promptly and fully disclose to the Company all information known to the Executive concerning such Invention. The Executive hereby waives and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that the Executive now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.

To the extent the Executive has any Proprietary Rights in the Inventions that cannot be assigned in the manner described above, the Executive unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such Proprietary Rights. This SectionΒ 7(c)(ii) is subject to and shall not be deemed to limit, restrict or constitute any waiver by the Company of any Proprietary Rights of ownership to which the Company may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of the Executiveβs employment with, or service to, the Company. The Executive further agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Companyβs sole cost and expense, the Executive shall assist the Company in every proper and lawful way to obtain and from time to time enforce Proprietary Rights relating to Inventions in any and all countries. To this end, the Executive shall execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining, and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof.

(e)Β Β Β Β Protected Disclosures.
(i)Β Β Β Β Nothing in this Agreement will preclude, prohibit or restrict the Executive from (A)Β communicating with, any federal, state or local administrative or regulatory agency or authority, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (the βSECβ); (B)Β participating or cooperating in any investigation conducted by any governmental agency or authority; or (C)Β filing a charge of discrimination with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal state or local administrative agency or regulatory authority.
(ii)Β Β Β Β Nothing in this Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties, prohibits or is intended in any manner to prohibit, the Executive from (A)Β reporting a possible violation of federal or other applicable law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including the Department of Justice, the SEC, the U.S.Β Congress, and any governmental agency Inspector General, or (B)Β making other disclosures that are protected under whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. This Agreement does not limit the Executiveβs right to receive an award (including, without limitation, a monetary reward) for information provided to the SEC. The Executive does not need the prior authorization of anyone at the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and the Executive is not required to notify the Company that the Executive has made such reports or disclosures.
(iii)Β Β Β Β Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement or policy of the Company is intended to interfere with or restrain the immunity provided underΒ 18 U.S.C. Β§1833(b). The Executive cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (A) (1)Β in confidence to federal, state or local government officials, directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (2)Β for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (B)Β in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if filed under seal; or (C)Β in connection with a lawsuit alleging retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, if filed under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to a court order.

8.Β Β Β Β Injunctive Relief. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in SectionsΒ 6 andΒ 7 will cause irreparable damage to the Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in SectionsΒ 6 andΒ 7, in addition to any other remedy that may be available at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief (without posting a bond). In the event of any breach or violation by the Executive of any of the covenants contained in SectionΒ 6 andΒ 7, the time period of such covenant with respect to the Executive shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be tolled until such breach or violation is resolved.
9.Β Β Β Β Indemnification. During the Executiveβs employment and service as a director or officer (or both) and at all times thereafter during which the Executive may be subject to liability, the
Β
13
Executive shall be entitled to the protection set forth in the Indemnification Agreement between the Executive and the Company, dated FebruaryΒ 4, 2014, in addition to the protection of any insurance policies the Company may elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its directors and officers against all costs, charges, and expenses incurred or sustained by him in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as well as any rights the Executive may have under the Companyβs articles of incorporation and bylaws (in each case, other than any dispute, claim, or controversy arising under or relating to this Agreement or otherwise arising under or relating to the Executiveβs employment, equity ownership or compensation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Executiveβs rights under this SectionΒ 9 shall survive the termination of his employment for any reason and the expiration of this Agreement for any reason.
10.Β Β Β Β Cooperation. The Executive agrees that, subject to the Executiveβs reasonable availability, during and after the Executiveβs employment by the Company, and without the necessity of the Company obtaining a subpoena or court order, the Executive shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with any suit, action or proceeding (or any appeal from any suit, action or proceeding), and any investigation and/or defense of any claims asserted against the Company Releasees (as defined in the Release), which relates to events occurring during the Executiveβs employment (including furnishing relevant information and materials to the Company or its designee and/or providing testimony at depositions and at trial); provided that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses the Executive incurs that are associated with any such cooperation; provided further that any such cooperation occurring after the termination of the Executiveβs employment shall be scheduled to the extent reasonably practicable so as not to unreasonably interfere with the Executiveβs business or personal affairs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the preceding cooperation covenant shall not apply to any suit, action, proceeding, investigation, defense or claim that arises out of or relates to a dispute between the Executive and any of the Company Releasees.
11.Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 409A of the Code.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be taxable currently to the Executive under SectionΒ 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Company and the Executive shall cooperate in good faith to (i)Β adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that they mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement, and to avoid less-favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company, and/or (ii)Β take such other actions as mutually determined to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from SectionΒ 409A of the Code or to comply with the requirements of SectionΒ 409A of the Code and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder; provided, however, that this
Β
14
SectionΒ 11(a) does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify this Agreement and does not guarantee that the amounts payable hereunder will not be subject to interest or penalties under SectionΒ 409A, and in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on the Executive as a result of SectionΒ 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with SectionΒ 409A of the Code.

The amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year. The amount of any in-kind benefits provided in one year shall not affect the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other year.
12.Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 280G of the Code.
(a)Β Β Β Β If there is a change of ownership or effective control or change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation (within the meaning of SectionΒ 280G of the Code) and any payment or benefit (including payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement)
Β
15
that the Executive would receive from the Company or otherwise (βTransaction Paymentβ) would (i)Β constitute a βparachute paymentβ within the meaning of SectionΒ 280G of the Internal Revenue Code ofΒ 1986 (the βCodeβ), and (ii)Β but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by SectionΒ 4999 of the Code (the βExcise Taxβ), then the Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Transaction Payment are paid to the Executive, which of the following two alternative forms of payment would result in the Executiveβs receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Transaction Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Transaction Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax: (1)Β payment in full of the entire amount of the Transaction Payment (a βFull Paymentβ), or (2)Β payment of only a part of the Transaction Payment so that the Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a βReduced Paymentβ). For purposes of determining whether to make a Full Payment or a Reduced Payment, the Company shall cause to be taken into account all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes). If a Reduced Payment is made, the reduction in payments and/or benefits will occur in the following order: (1)Β first, reduction of cash payments, in reverse order of scheduled payment date (or if necessary, to zero), (2)Β then, reduction of non-cash and non-equity benefits provided to the Executive, on a pro rata basis (or if necessary, to zero), and (3)Β then, cancellation of the acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executiveβs equity awards.
(b)Β Β Β Β Unless the Executive and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this section shall be made in writing by the Companyβs independent public accountants (the βAccountantsβ), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of SectionsΒ 280G andΒ 4999 of the Code. The Accountants shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and the Executive as requested by the Company or the Executive. The Executive and the Company shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this SectionΒ 12(b).
13.Β Β Β Β Assignment and Successors. The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any entity, including any successor to all or substantially all the assets of the Company, by merger or otherwise, and may assign or encumber this Agreement and its rights hereunder as security for indebtedness of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive may not assign his rights or obligations under this Agreement to any individual or entity. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel, legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable.

23.Β Β Β Β Enforcement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision were never a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.

Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term βorβ is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
2.Β Β Β Β CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE AWARD.

Β
28
2.2Β Β Β Β Employment Conditions. By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)Β Β Β Β Any notice period mandated under Local Law shall not be treated as Service for the purpose of determining the vesting of the Award; and the Participantβs right to receive shares in settlement of the Award after termination of Service, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Participantβs active Service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under Local Law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of the Plan, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Participantβs Service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.
(b)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Grant Notice, if the Participant is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason (each as defined in the Participantβs employment agreement with the Company dated AprilΒ 26, 2018) prior to the settlement of the Award, the Participant will remain eligible to vest (determined in accordance with the terms set forth in the Grant Notice) in a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units on the Certification Date, determined by multiplying the total number of Restricted Stock Units remaining outstanding and unvested immediately prior to such termination by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that the Participant provided continuous Service during the Performance Period, and the denominator of which is the number of full months in the full Performance Period. All Restricted Stock Units in excess of the pro rata portion thereof that remains outstanding in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto. If a Change in Control occurs upon or following such termination and prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Restricted Stock Units remaining outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Change in Control (after application of the foregoing provisions of this SectionΒ 2.2(b)) shall vest and become non-forfeitable at the target level of achievement (determined in accordance with the Grant Notice) immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and the date that the Change in Control is consummated shall be the Settlement Date for purposes of SectionΒ 7 hereof.
(c)Β Β Β Β The vesting of the Award shall cease upon, and no Units shall vest following, the Participantβs termination of Service for any reason other than as set forth in SectionΒ 2.2 (b). Further, all unvested Units will be forfeited and cancelled and the Participant will not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
(d)Β Β Β Β 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, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement.
(e)Β Β Β Β The grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.
(f)Β Β Β Β All decisions with respect to future Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.
(g)Β Β Β Β The Participantβs participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Service with any Participating Company and shall not interfere with the ability of any Participating Company to terminate the Participantβs Service at any time, with or without cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law.
Β
29
(h)Β Β Β Β The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(i)Β Β Β Β The Award and resulting shares, if any, are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for Service of any kind rendered to any Participating Company, and which is outside the scope of the Participantβs employment contract, if any.
(j)Β Β Β Β The Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
(k)Β Β Β Β In the event that the Participant is not an employee of the Company, the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any other Participating Company.
(l)Β Β Β Β The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the Participant obtains shares upon settlement of the Award, the value of those shares may increase or decrease.
(m)Β Β Β Β In consideration of the grant of an Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Award or diminution in value of the Award or shares acquired upon settlement of the Award resulting from termination of the Participantβs Service (for any reason whether or not in breach of Local Law) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and each other Participating Company 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 Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participantβs entitlement to pursue such a claim.
2.3Β Β Β Β Data Privacy Consent.
(a)Β Β Β Β THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF THE PARTICIPANTβS PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT BY AND AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THE PARTICIPATING COMPANY GROUP FOR THE EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE PARTICIPANTβS PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

4.1Β Β Β Β Grant of Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Total Number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Grant
Β
31
Notice, subject to adjustment as provided in SectionΒ 4.3 and SectionΒ 10. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, each Unit represents a right to receive on a date determined in accordance with the Grant Notice and this Agreement one (1)Β share of Stock.
4.2Β Β Β Β No Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Units or shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units, the consideration for which shall be past services actually rendered or future services to be rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units.
4.3Β Β Β Β Dividend Equivalent Units. On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a)Β the product of (i)Β the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii)Β the total number of Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited to the Participant pursuant to the Award and which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined below) as of such date, by (b)Β the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Any resulting fractional Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Such additional Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
5.Β Β Β Β VESTING OF UNITS.
Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement shall become Vested Units as provided in the Grant Notice. Dividend Equivalent Units shall become Vested Units at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
6.Β Β Β Β COMPANY REACQUISITION RIGHT.
6.1Β Β Β Β Grant of Company Reacquisition Right. In the event that the Participantβs Service with a Participating Company is terminated by the Participating Company for Cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law the Participant shall forfeit and the Company shall automatically reacquire all Units (whether vested or unvested), and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the βCompany Reacquisition Rightβ).
7.Β Β Β Β SETTLEMENT OF THE AWARD.
7.1Β Β Β Β Issuance of Shares of Stock. Subject to the provisions of SectionΒ 7.3 below, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date upon which Units vest (such date, the βSettlement Dateβ) (but in no event later than MarchΒ 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs), the Company shall issue to the Participant with respect to each such Vested Unit one (1)Β share of Stock. Shares of Stock issued in settlement of Units
Β
32
shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such restriction as may be required pursuant to SectionΒ 7.3, SectionΒ 7 or the Companyβs Trading Compliance Policy or any stock ownership guidelines or holding period guidelines established by the Board from time to time.
7.2Β Β Β Β Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit any or all shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award with the Companyβs transfer agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry form, or to deposit such shares for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the Company has notice. Except as provided by the foregoing, a certificate for the shares acquired by the Participant shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.
7.3Β Β Β Β Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of United States federal, state law and Local Law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable United States federal, state, or Local Law, or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, or the impracticality of doing so, deemed by the Companyβs legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
7.4Β Β Β Β Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the settlement of the Award.
8.Β Β Β Β TAX WITHHOLDING.
Regardless of any action the Company or the Participantβs employer (the βEmployerβ) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (βTax-Related Itemsβ), the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participantβs responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (i)Β make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Units, including the grant and vesting of Units, subsequent delivery of shares and/or cash related to such Units or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to such Units and receipt of any dividend equivalent payments (if any) and (ii)Β do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of Units to reduce or eliminate the Participantβs liability for Tax-Related Items. The Participant shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participantβs participation in the Plan or the Participantβs receipt of Units that cannot be satisfied by the means described below. Further, if the Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the
Β
33
Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participantβs obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items; provided that the arrangement in clauseΒ (1) of the following sentence shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the extent that it alone, or combined with any other arrangement satisfactory to the Board, satisfies the Participantβs obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Participant by (1)Β withholding a number of Shares otherwise deliverable equal to the Retained Share Amount (as defined below), (2)Β withholding from the Participantβs wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or Employer; and/or (3)Β withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by the Company (on the Participantβs behalf pursuant to this authorization), to the extent permitted by the Administrator. The βRetained Share Amountβ shall mean a number of shares equal to the quotient of the statutory tax withholding obligation of the Company triggered by the Units on the relevant date, divided by the Fair Market Value of one share on the relevant date or as otherwise provided in the Plan. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant understands that he or she will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the settled Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the settlement of the Units.
The Participant acknowledges and understands that the Participant should consult a tax adviser regarding the Participantβs tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.
9.Β Β Β Β EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL.
In the event of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, subject to the Participantβs continued Service on the date that such Change in Control is consummated, the Target Award (and any Dividend Equivalent Units associated therewith) will vest and the date that the Change in Control is consummated will be treated as the Settlement Date for purposes of SectionΒ 7 hereof. No Restricted Stock Units in excess of the Target Award shall vest pursuant to this Agreement and all Restricted Stock Units in excess of the Target Award shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
10.Β Β Β Β ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of
Β
34
payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Companyβs dividend policy) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number of Units subject to the Award and/or the number and kind of shares or other property to be issued in settlement of the Award, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participantβs rights under the Award. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as βeffected without receipt of consideration by the Company.β Any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Companyβs dividend policy, which shall be treated in accordance with SectionΒ 4.3) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of ownership of Units acquired pursuant to this Award will be immediately subject to the provisions of this Award on the same basis as all Units originally acquired hereunder. Any fractional Unit or share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall be determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
11.Β Β Β Β RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT.
The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares which may be issued in settlement of this Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in SectionΒ 4.3 and SectionΒ 10. If the Participant is an Employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Participant, the Participantβs employment is βat willβ and is for no specified term unless otherwise required under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Participantβs Service at any time.
12.Β Β Β Β LEGENDS.
The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable United States federal, state or non-U.S.Β securities law, including Local Law, restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Award in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.
13.Β Β Β Β MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
13.1Β Β Β Β Termination or Amendment. The Committee may terminate or amend the Plan or this Agreement at any time; provided, however, that except as provided in SectionΒ 9 in connection with a Change in Control, no such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Participantβs rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Participant unless such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law or government regulation. No amendment or addition to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.
Β
35
13.2Β Β Β Β Nontransferability of the Award. Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock on the applicable Settlement Date, neither this Award nor any Units subject to this Award shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participantβs beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to the Award shall be exercisable during the Participantβs lifetime only by the Participant or the Participantβs guardian or legal representative.
13.3Β Β Β Β Further Instruments. The parties hereto agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
Performance Matrix
The βPerformance Periodβ shall be JanuaryΒ 1, 2018 through DecemberΒ 31, 2020.
The βPerformance Goalβ shall be the three-year total shareholder return (βTSRβ)Β of the Company relative to the other entities in the S&P Semiconductor Index (the βTSR Indexβ). Achievement of the Performance Goal shall be determined by the percentile rank of the Companyβs TSR relative to the TSR of each other entity in the TSR Index.
Determination of TSR: TSR for the Company and each other entity in the TSR Index shall be determined in accordance with the following formula. TSR shall be equal to the quotient of (a)Β divided by (b), expressed as a percentage, where:
(a) is equal to the sum of (i)Β and (ii), where (i)Β is the difference determined by the Ending Price minus the Starting Price (each as defined below); and (ii)Β is the sum of all dividends paid on one share of common stock during the Performance Period, provided that all dividends are treated as reinvested at the time paid; and
(b) is equal to the Starting Price.
For purposes of determining TSR:
(i) βStarting Priceβ means the volume-weighted average price of one share of common stock on the applicable stock exchange during theΒ 30Β days immediately preceding the first day of the Performance Period.
(ii) βEnding Priceβ means the volume-weighted average price of one share of common stock on the applicable stock exchange during theΒ 30Β days immediately preceding the last day of the Performance Period.
The Companyβs βPercentileβ shall be equal to the absolute value of the difference obtained by (I)Β the quotient of (A)Β the Rank (as defined below), divided by (B)Β the total number of entities in the TSR Index (including the Company, but after removal of any entities in accordance with calculation of the Rank), expressed as a percentage, minus (II) 100%.
The Companyβs βRankβ shall be determined by the Companyβs position within the ranking of each entity in the TSR Index (including the Company) in descending order based on their respective TSRs (with the highest TSR having a Rank of one). For purposes of developing the ordering provided in the immediately-preceding sentence, (A)Β any entity that filed for bankruptcy protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code during the Performance Period shall be assigned the lowest order of any entity in the TSR Index, and (B)Β any entity that is acquired during the Performance Period, or otherwise no longer listed on a national securities exchange at the end of the Performance Period (other than the Company), shall be removed from the TSR Index and shall be excluded for purposes of ordering the entities in the TSR Index (and for purposes of calculating the Companyβs Percentile).
Β
44
The βPayout Percentageβ shall be determined as follows, subject to the exceptions below:
Β
Β | β’ | Β | Threshold Performance: If the Companyβs Percentile equalsΒ 35% (the βThreshold Percentileβ), the Payout Percentage shall beΒ 50%. The Payout Percentage shall equal zero if the Company Percentile is less thanΒ 35%. |
Β
Β | β’ | Β | Target Performance: If the Companyβs Percentile equalsΒ 60% (the βTarget Percentileβ), the Payout Percentage shall beΒ 100%. |
Β
Β | β’ | Β | Maximum Performance: If the Companyβs Percentile equalsΒ 75% (the βMaximum Percentileβ), the Payout Percentage shall beΒ 150%. |
Β
Β | β’ | Β | Supermaximum Performance: If the Companyβs Percentile equals the Percentile achieved by a Rank of one in the TSR Index, the Payout Percentage shall beΒ 200%. |
Β
Β | β’ | Β | Straight-line interpolation shall be used to determine the Payout Percentage for any Company Percentile between the Threshold Percentile and the Target Percentile and between the Target Percentile and the Maximum Percentile, based upon the Payout Percentages set forth above. |
The following exception exists with respect to the Payout Percentage determination set forth above: If the Companyβs absolute TSR (irrespective of its Rank or Percentile) is less thanΒ 0%, then the Payout Percentage shall beΒ 0%.

Β
46
2.2Β Β Β Β Employment Conditions. By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)Β Β Β Β Any notice period mandated under Local Law shall not be treated as Service for the purpose of determining the vesting of the Award; and the Participantβs right to receive shares in settlement of the Award after termination of Service, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Participantβs active Service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under Local Law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of the Plan, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Participantβs Service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.
(b)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Grant Notice, if the Participant is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason (each as defined in the Participantβs employment agreement with the Company dated AprilΒ 26, 2018) prior to the settlement of the Award, the Participant will remain eligible to vest (determined in accordance with the terms set forth in the Grant Notice) in a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units on the Certification Date, determined by multiplying the total number of Restricted Stock Units remaining outstanding and unvested immediately prior to such termination by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that the Participant provided continuous Service during the Performance Period, and the denominator of which is the number of full months in the full Performance Period. All Restricted Stock Units in excess of the pro rata portion thereof that remains outstanding in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto. If a Change in Control occurs upon or following such termination and prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Restricted Stock Units remaining outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Change in Control (after application of the foregoing provisions of this SectionΒ 2.2(b)) shall vest and become non-forfeitable at the target level of achievement (determined in accordance with the Grant Notice) immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and the date that the Change in Control is consummated shall be the Settlement Date for purposes of SectionΒ 7 hereof.
(c)Β Β Β Β The vesting of the Award shall cease upon, and no Units shall vest following, the Participantβs termination of Service for any reason other than as set forth in SectionΒ 2.2 (b). Further, all unvested Units will be forfeited and cancelled and the Participant will not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
(d)Β Β Β Β 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, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement.
(e)Β Β Β Β The grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.
(f)Β Β Β Β All decisions with respect to future Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.
(g)Β Β Β Β The Participantβs participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Service with any Participating Company and shall not interfere with the ability of any Participating Company to terminate the Participantβs Service at any time, with or without cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law.
Β
47
(h)Β Β Β Β The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

(j)Β Β Β Β The Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
(k)Β Β Β Β In the event that the Participant is not an employee of the Company, the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any other Participating Company.
(l)Β Β Β Β The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the Participant obtains shares upon settlement of the Award, the value of those shares may increase or decrease.
(m)Β Β Β Β In consideration of the grant of an Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Award or diminution in value of the Award or shares acquired upon settlement of the Award resulting from termination of the Participantβs Service (for any reason whether or not in breach of Local Law) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and each other Participating Company 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 Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participantβs entitlement to pursue such a claim.

Β
49
Notice, subject to adjustment as provided in SectionΒ 4.3 and SectionΒ 10.

4.2Β Β Β Β No Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Units or shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units, the consideration for which shall be past services actually rendered or future services to be rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units.
4.3Β Β Β Β Dividend Equivalent Units. On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a)Β the product of (i)Β the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii)Β the total number of Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited to the Participant pursuant to the Award and which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined below) as of such date, by (b)Β the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date.

5.Β Β Β Β VESTING OF UNITS.
Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement shall become Vested Units as provided in the Grant Notice. Dividend Equivalent Units shall become Vested Units at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.

In the event that the Participantβs Service with a Participating Company is terminated by the Participating Company for Cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law the Participant shall forfeit and the Company shall automatically reacquire all Units (whether vested or unvested), and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the βCompany Reacquisition Rightβ).

7.1Β Β Β Β Issuance of Shares of Stock. Subject to the provisions of SectionΒ 7.3 below, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date upon which Units vest (such date, the βSettlement Dateβ) (but in no event later than MarchΒ 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs), the Company shall issue to the Participant with respect to each such Vested Unit one (1)Β share of Stock. Shares of Stock issued in settlement of Units
Β
50
shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such restriction as may be required pursuant to SectionΒ 7.3, SectionΒ 7 or the Companyβs Trading Compliance Policy or any stock ownership guidelines or holding period guidelines established by the Board from time to time.
7.2Β Β Β Β Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit any or all shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award with the Companyβs transfer agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry form, or to deposit such shares for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the Company has notice. Except as provided by the foregoing, a certificate for the shares acquired by the Participant shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.
7.3Β Β Β Β Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of United States federal, state law and Local Law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable United States federal, state, or Local Law, or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, or the impracticality of doing so, deemed by the Companyβs legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
7.4Β Β Β Β Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the settlement of the Award.
8.Β Β Β Β TAX WITHHOLDING.
Regardless of any action the Company or the Participantβs employer (the βEmployerβ) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (βTax-Related Itemsβ), the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participantβs responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (i)Β make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Units, including the grant and vesting of Units, subsequent delivery of shares and/or cash related to such Units or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to such Units and receipt of any dividend equivalent payments (if any) and (ii)Β do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of Units to reduce or eliminate the Participantβs liability for Tax-Related Items. The Participant shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participantβs participation in the Plan or the Participantβs receipt of Units that cannot be satisfied by the means described below. Further, if the Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the
Β
51
Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participantβs obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items; provided that the arrangement in clauseΒ (1) of the following sentence shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the extent that it alone, or combined with any other arrangement satisfactory to the Board, satisfies the Participantβs obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Participant by (1)Β withholding a number of Shares otherwise deliverable equal to the Retained Share Amount (as defined below), (2)Β withholding from the Participantβs wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or Employer; and/or (3)Β withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by the Company (on the Participantβs behalf pursuant to this authorization), to the extent permitted by the Administrator. The βRetained Share Amountβ shall mean a number of shares equal to the quotient of the statutory tax withholding obligation of the Company triggered by the Units on the relevant date, divided by the Fair Market Value of one share on the relevant date or as otherwise provided in the Plan. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant understands that he or she will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the settled Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the settlement of the Units.
The Participant acknowledges and understands that the Participant should consult a tax adviser regarding the Participantβs tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.
9.Β Β Β Β EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL.
In the event of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, subject to the Participantβs continued Service on the date that such Change in Control is consummated, the Target Award (and any Dividend Equivalent Units associated therewith) will vest and the date that the Change in Control is consummated will be treated as the Settlement Date for purposes of SectionΒ 7 hereof. No Restricted Stock Units in excess of the Target Award shall vest pursuant to this Agreement and all Restricted Stock Units in excess of the Target Award shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
10.Β Β Β Β ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of
Β

Β
61
2.2Β Β Β Β Employment Conditions. By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)Β Β Β Β Any notice period mandated under Local Law shall not be treated as Service for the purpose of determining the vesting of the Award; and the Participantβs right to receive shares in settlement of the Award after termination of Service, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Participantβs active Service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under Local Law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of the Plan, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Participantβs Service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.
(b)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Grant Notice, if the Participant is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason, in each case not in connection with a CIC Qualified Termination (each as defined in the Participantβs employment agreement with the Company dated AprilΒ 26, 2018) and prior to the settlement of the Award, the Participant will vest in a pro rata portion of the next tranche of Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest hereunder, determined by multiplying the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units in such tranche by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months from the last vesting date (or, if none, the Grant Date) to the date of such termination and the denominator of which is the number of full months from the last vesting date (or, if none, the Grant Date) to the next vesting date.
(c)Β Β Β Β If the Participant incurs a CIC Qualified Termination, all unvested Restricted Stock Units will fully vest on the date of such termination.
(d)Β Β Β Β The vesting of the Award shall cease upon, and no Units shall vest following, the Participantβs termination of Service for any reason other than as set forth in SectionΒ 2.2(b) or (c). Further, all unvested Units will be forfeited and cancelled and the Participant will not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
(e)Β Β Β Β 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, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement.
(f)Β Β Β Β The grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.
(g)Β Β Β Β All decisions with respect to future Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.
(h)Β Β Β Β The Participantβs participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Service with any Participating Company and shall not interfere with the ability of any Participating Company to terminate the Participantβs Service at any time, with or without cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law.
(i)Β Β Β Β The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
Β
62
(j)Β Β Β Β The Award and resulting shares, if any, are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for Service of any kind rendered to any Participating Company, and which is outside the scope of the Participantβs employment contract, if any.

(m)Β Β Β Β The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the Participant obtains shares upon settlement of the Award, the value of those shares may increase or decrease.
(n)Β Β Β Β In consideration of the grant of an Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Award or diminution in value of the Award or shares acquired upon settlement of the Award resulting from termination of the Participantβs Service (for any reason whether or not in breach of Local Law) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and each other Participating Company 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 Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participantβs entitlement to pursue such a claim.
2.3Β Β Β Β Data Privacy Consent.
(a)Β Β Β Β THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF THE PARTICIPANTβS PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT BY AND AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THE PARTICIPATING COMPANY GROUP FOR THE EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE PARTICIPANTβS PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

Β
64
4.2Β Β Β Β No Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Units or shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units, the consideration for which shall be past services actually rendered or future services to be rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units.
4.3Β Β Β Β Dividend Equivalent Units. On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a)Β the product of (i)Β the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii)Β the total number of Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited to the Participant pursuant to the Award and which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined below) as of such date, by (b)Β the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date.

Subject to the provisions of SectionΒ 7.3 below, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date upon which Units vest (such date, the βSettlement Dateβ) (but in no event later than MarchΒ 15th of the calendar year of following the calendar year in which the Units vest), the Company shall issue to the Participant with respect to each such Vested Unit one (1)Β share of Stock. Shares of Stock issued in settlement of Units shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such restriction as may be required pursuant to SectionΒ 7.3, SectionΒ 7 or the Companyβs Trading Compliance Policy or any stock ownership guidelines or holding period guidelines established by the Board from time to time.

Except as provided by the foregoing, a certificate for the shares acquired by the Participant shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.
7.3Β Β Β Β Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of United States federal, state law and Local Law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable United States federal, state, or Local Law, or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, or the impracticality of doing so, deemed by the Companyβs legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
7.4Β Β Β Β Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the settlement of the Award.
8.Β Β Β Β TAX WITHHOLDING.
Regardless of any action the Company or the Participantβs employer (the βEmployerβ) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (βTax-Related Itemsβ), the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participantβs responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (i)Β make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Units, including the grant and vesting of Units, subsequent delivery of shares and/or cash related to such Units or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to such Units and receipt of any dividend equivalent payments (if any) and (ii)Β do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of Units to reduce or eliminate the Participantβs liability for Tax-Related Items. The Participant shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participantβs participation in the Plan or the Participantβs receipt of Units that cannot be satisfied by the means described below. Further, if the Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participantβs obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Β

Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items; provided that the arrangement in clauseΒ (1) of the following sentence shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the extent that it alone, or combined with any other arrangement satisfactory to the Board, satisfies the Participantβs obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Participant by (1)Β withholding a number of Shares otherwise deliverable equal to the Retained Share Amount (as defined below), (2)Β withholding from the Participantβs wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or Employer; and/or (3)Β withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by the Company (on the Participantβs behalf pursuant to this authorization), to the extent permitted by the Administrator. The βRetained Share Amountβ shall mean a number of shares equal to the quotient of the statutory tax withholding obligation of the Company triggered by the Units on the relevant date, divided by the Fair Market Value of one share on the relevant date or as otherwise provided in the Plan. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant understands that he or she will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the settled Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the settlement of the Units.
The Participant acknowledges and understands that the Participant should consult a tax adviser regarding the Participantβs tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.

This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange control and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participantβs participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of FebruaryΒ 2016. Such laws are often complex and change frequently.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participantβs particular situation. As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. The Participant is therefore advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participantβs country may apply to the Participantβs situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than that in which the Participant is currently working, the information contained herein may not apply to the Participant.

I understand that this Release may not be revoked after the seven-day revocation period has passed. I understand also that any revocation of this Release must be made in writing and delivered to the Company at its principal place of business within the seven-day period.
This Release will become effective, irrevocable, and binding on the eighth day after its execution, so long as I have not timely revoked it as set forth above. I understand and acknowledge that I will not be entitled to payments or benefits under SectionΒ 5(b) of the Employment Agreement unless this Release is effective on or before the date that isΒ 60Β days following the Date of Termination (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

The provisions of this Release will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, and assigns. If any provision of this Release will be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such provision will be of no force or effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however, will have no effect upon and will not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Release.
This Release will be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Release or claim of breach hereof will be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware to the extent that federal jurisdiction exists, and in the Delaware Chancery Court to the extent that federal jurisdiction does not exist.
