Section 6. Termination or Suspension of Employment or Service. The following provisions shall apply in the event of Awardee’s termination of employment or service, unless the Committee shall have provided otherwise.
(a) Termination of Employment or Service for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide, if Awardee’s employment or service with the Employer is terminated for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement (whether or not later to be found invalid and whether or not in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Awardee is employed or providing services), the unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be cancelled (forfeited) on the Termination Date (as defined in Section 6(d) below) and Awardee shall not be entitled to receive any payment thereunder.
(b) Disability or Death. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide, if Awardee’s employment or service with the Employer is terminated due to Disability or death, the unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award will immediately vest and become payable as of the Termination Date (as defined in Section 6(d) below) or the date of Awardee’s death. For purposes hereof, “Disability” means “permanent and total disability” as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code and as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(c) Retirement. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide, if Awardee’s employment or service with the Employer is terminated due to Retirement, Awardee’s unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 of this Award Agreement. Unless the Committee otherwise permits, the Committee has determined that the term “Retirement” means that Awardee’s employment has terminated other than by reason of death, Disability or Cause and that all of the following criteria have been satisfied as of the Termination Date (as defined in Section 6(d) below): either (1) Awardee is at least 65 years of age and has completed at least five years of service with the Employer, or (2) Awardee is at least 55 years of age and has completed at least ten years of service with the Employer. However, if Awardee’s employment or service with the Employer is terminated by reason of Retirement within 12 months of his/her grant date, Awardee shall receive on each Vesting Date, as applicable, a prorated payment under the Restricted Stock Unit Award based on the number of full calendar months of participation as an Awardee, from the grant date through the Termination Date, as the numerator, and whose denominator shall be 12.
(d) Termination Date. Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, for purposes hereof, any termination of Awardee’s employment or service for any reason shall occur on the date such Awardee ceases to be actively employed by or ceases to perform services for the Employer (the “Termination Date”) without regard to whether such Awardee continues thereafter to receive any compensatory payments therefrom or is paid salary thereby in lieu of notice of termination. The Termination Date will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment or service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Awardee is employed or providing services); the Employer shall have the exclusive discretion to determine the Termination Date for purposes of the Restricted Stock Unit Award (including whether Awardee may still be considered to provide continuous employment or services while on an approved leave of absence).
Section 7. Restrictions on Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Awardee understands and agrees that Micro shall not be obligated to issue any Shares prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
(a) The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed;
(b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;
(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;
2
(d) The receipt by Micro of full payment for such Shares, including payment of any Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 8 below); and
(e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the vesting of the Restricted Unit Awards as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience but in any event within 30 days of the Vesting Date.
Further, Awardee agrees that Micro shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Award Agreement without Awardee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities and or other laws applicable to the issuance of Shares.
Section 8. Responsibility for Taxes. Awardee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Awardee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Awardee or deemed by the Employer to be an appropriate charge to Awardee even if technically due by the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Awardee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Employer. Awardee further acknowledges that 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, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, the subsequent sale of Shares 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 and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Unit Award to reduce or eliminate Awardee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Awardee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Awardee acknowledges that 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, Awardee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Awardee authorizes the Employer, or their respective agents, at their sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as they may specify from time to time, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all applicable Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding from Awardee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Awardee by the Employer; (2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award, either through a voluntary sale or mandatory sale arranged by Micro (on Awardee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (3) withholding in Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award.
Depending on the withholding method, the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Awardee will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares as described herein, for tax purposes, Awardee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Unit Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, Awardee will pay to the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Awardee’s participation in the Plan or Awardee’s acquisition of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Micro may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Awardee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Section 9. Adjustment. The number of Shares subject to this Restricted Stock Unit Award may be adjusted by Micro from time to time pursuant to Section 12 of the Plan.

Section 10. Nature of the Award. By accepting this Restricted Stock Unit Award, Awardee acknowledges, understands and agrees 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, to the extent permitted by the Plan; |
(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 in the past; |
(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 employment or service with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Awardee’s employment or service relationship (if any); |
(5) | participating in the Plan is voluntary; |
(6) | the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, welfare or retirement benefits or similar payments; |
(7) | the Restricted Stock Unit Award and Awardee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Employer or any subsidiary or Affiliate of Micro; |
(8) | the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; |
(9) | no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Unit Award resulting from the termination of Awardee’s employment or service with the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later to be found invalid and whether or not in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Awardee is employed or providing services), and in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award to which Awardee is otherwise not entitled, Awardee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Employer, and agrees to waive his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and agrees to release the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then by participating in the Plan, Awardee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; |
(10) | the vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit Award ceases upon the Termination Date, or other cessation of eligibility to vest for any reason, except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan or this Award Agreement; |
(11) | unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or provided by Micro in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Unit Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock of Micro; |
(12) | Awardee acknowledges that this Award Agreement is between Awardee and Micro, and that the Employer (if different from Micro) is not a party to this Award Agreement; |
4
(13) | Awardee agrees to provide Micro with any data requested if Awardee is a mobile employee to facilitate the proper withholding and reporting by the Employer; and |
(14) | Awardee acknowledges that the Plan and this Award Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.
