3.Responsibility for Taxes. Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, or if different, Employee’s employer (“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Employee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Stock Units, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Performance Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee agrees to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
3
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
(a)withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer; or
(b)withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Performance Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or
(c)withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Performance Stock Units.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company 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 Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Stock, for tax purposes, Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Performance Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Employee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from Employee's wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Stock or the proceeds of the sale of Stock, if Employee fails to comply with Employee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 3, Employee’s liability with respect to Tax-Related Items shall be subject to any international tax assignment agreement then in effect between Employee and the Company, the Employer or any of their respective affiliates or any tax policies or procedures applicable to the Employee’s home country, and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Paragraph 3 and the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, the terms of such international tax assignment agreement or such tax policies or procedures, as applicable, shall control.
4.Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as Employee remains an employee of the Company, a Parent Corporation or Subsidiary of the Company, or a corporation or a Parent Corporation or subsidiary of such corporation assuming or substituting a new award for this Award. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, it is expressly provided that Employee shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company at the time of the termination of the “Subsidiary” status under the Plan of the entity or other organization that employs Employee. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment, and the
4
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
cause of such termination, shall be determined by the Committee, or its delegate, as appropriate, and its determination shall be final.
5.Committee’s Powers. No provision contained in this Agreement shall in any way terminate, modify or alter, or be construed or interpreted as terminating, modifying or altering any of the powers, rights or authority vested in the Committee or, to the extent delegated, in its delegate pursuant to the terms of the Plan or resolutions adopted in furtherance of the Plan, including, without limitation, the right to make certain determinations and elections with respect to the Performance Stock Units.
6.Data Privacy Notice and Consent.
(a)Declaration of Consent. By accepting the Performance Stock Units via the Company’s acceptance procedure, Employee is declaring that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned below, including recipients located in countries which may not have a similar level of protection from the perspective of the data protection laws in Employee’s country.
(b)Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about Employee, including, but not limited to, Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Performance Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is Employee’s consent.
(c)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data, or parts thereof, to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and may share Data with different service providers that serve in a similar manner. Employee acknowledges and understands that the Company’s service provider will open an account for Employee to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and that Employee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(d)International Data Transfers. The Company and its service provider, are based in the United States. Employee understands that his or her country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the laws of the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued only a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies solely if and to the extent that companies self-certify and remain self-certified under the EU/U.S. Privacy Shield program. As a result, in the absence of appropriate safeguards such as standard data protection clauses, the processing of Employee’s Data in the United States
5
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE – 3-Year Vesting
or, as the case may be, other countries might not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection authorities. In addition, Employee might not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of his or her Data in such countries. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of Data is Employee’s consent.
(e)Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Employee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, labor, securities and exchange control laws.
(f)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Employee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. Employee understands that he or she may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If Employee does not consent, or if Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Employee’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to offer Performance Stock Units to Employee or administer or maintain Employee’s participation in the Plan.
(g)Data Subject Rights. Employee understands that data subject rights vary depending on the applicable law and that, depending on where Employee is based and subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law, Employee may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Employee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Employee understands that he or she can contact Employee’s local human resources representative.
By clicking the “Accept” or similar button implemented into the relevant web page or platform, Employee declares, without limitation, his or her consent to the data processing operations described in this Agreement. Employee understands and acknowledges that he or she may withdraw consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason as described in sub-section (f) above. |

If Employee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the country in which Employee is working, or if Employee transfers employment after the Performance Stock Units are granted to Employee, the information contained in this Addendum for the country Employee works in at the time of grant may not be applicable to Employee and the Company, in its discretion, may determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to Employee. If Employee transfers residency and/or employment to another country or is considered a resident of another country listed in the Addendum after the Performance Stock Units are granted to Employee, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to Employee.
