as provided for in Section 7 of this Award Agreement, any vested Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall
be paid by Micro in Shares (on a one-to-one basis) no later than the following May 31 after the
close of the Measurement Period (as defined in the 2009 LTP).
Section 4. Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Unit Award. This Restricted Stock
Unit Award shall not be transferable by Awardee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. The
1
terms of this Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be binding on the executors,
administrators, heirs and successors of Awardee.
Section 5. 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, either at the time of the grant of the Restricted Stock
Unit Award or thereafter.
(a) Termination of Employment or Service for Cause or upon a Voluntary Termination.
Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as required to comply with applicable
law, if Awardee’s employment or service with Micro or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause or if
Awardee voluntarily terminates employment (“Voluntary Termination”), the Restricted Stock Unit
Award shall immediately be cancelled (forfeited) and Awardee shall not be entitled to receive any
payment thereunder.
(b) Termination of Employment or Service by Micro or its Affiliates in General.
Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as required to comply with applicable
law, if Awardee’s employment or service with Micro or an Affiliate is terminated for any reason
other than Voluntary Termination, Death, Disability or Cause, Awardee’s right to receive a payment
under the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be reduced from 100% of the payment that would be due
if the Awardee remained employed throughout the Measurement Period to a fraction thereof whose
numerator shall be the number of full months elapsed from the beginning of the Measurement Period
through the Termination Date (as defined in Section 5(e) below) and whose denominator shall be 36;
provided, however that if the numerator is less than 12, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall
immediately be cancelled (forfeited) and Awardee shall not be entitled to receive any payment
thereunder.
(c) Death. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as required
to comply with applicable law, if Awardee’s employment or service with Micro or an Affiliate is
terminated by reason of death, his/her estate shall receive (at the time of the close of the
Measurement Period, and determination of Micro’s performance against the targets set forth in
Exhibit A) a full payment under the Restricted Stock Unit Award to which he/she would be entitled
had he/she remained employed through the end of the Measurement Period with payout based upon
results at the end of the Measurement Period.
(d) Disability. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as
required to comply with applicable law, if Awardee’s employment or service with Micro or an
Affiliate is terminated by reason of Disability, for purposes of determining the payment he/she is
entitled to receive under the Restricted Stock Unit Award, he/she shall be treated as continuing to
be employed through the end of the Measurement Period with payout based upon the results at the end
of the Measurement Period. For purposes hereof, “Disability” means “permanent and total
disability” as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as determined by the Committee pursuant
to applicable local law.
(e) Effective Time of Termination. 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 perform services for Micro or an Affiliate (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
would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); Micro shall
have the exclusive discretion to determine the Termination Date for purposes of the Restricted
Stock Unit Award.
Section 6. Restrictions on Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Micro shall not be
obligated to issue any Shares pursuant to this Restricted Stock Unit Award unless the Shares are at
that time effectively registered or exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
unless the issuance is in compliance with all applicable local securities or other laws.
2
Section 7. Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action Micro or Awardee’s
employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll
tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Awardee’s participation in the Plan
and legally applicable to Awardee or deemed by Micro or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to
Awardee even if technically due by Micro or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), Awardee
acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Awardee’s
responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Micro or the Employer. Awardee
further acknowledges that Micro and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted
Stock Unit Award, including the grant, 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 has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the
date of any relevant taxable event, Awardee acknowledges that Micro and/or 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 will pay or
make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Micro and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related
Items. In this regard, if permissible under local law, Awardee authorizes Micro and/or 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 Micro and/or 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); or (3) withholding in Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award.
To avoid negative accounting treatment, Micro may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by
considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates.
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 due as a result of any aspect of Awardee’s
participation in the Plan.
Finally, Awardee will pay to Micro or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Micro
or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Awardee’s participation in the Plan or
Awardee’s acquisition of Shares 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 8. Adjustment. The number of Shares subject to this Restricted Stock Unit
Award may be adjusted by Micro from time to time pursuant to the Plan.
Section 9. Nature of the Award. By accepting this Restricted Stock Unit Award,
Awardee acknowledges that:
(1) | the Plan is established voluntarily by Micro, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by Micro at any time; | ||
(2) | the grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Unit Award, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Unit Awards, even if Restricted Stock Unit Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past; | ||
(3) | all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Micro; |
3
(4) | participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Awardee’s employment relationship at any time with or without cause; | ||
(5) | participating in the Plan is voluntary; | ||
(6) | the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to Micro or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of Awardee’s employment contract, if any; | ||
(7) | the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; | ||
(8) | 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 any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, welfare or retirement benefits or similar payments, and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services to Micro, the Employer or any subsidiary or Affiliate of Micro; | ||
(9) | the Restricted Stock Unit Award and Awardee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with Micro, the Employer or any subsidiary or Affiliate of Micro; | ||
(10) | the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; | ||
(11) | in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Unit Award resulting from termination of Awardee’s employment with Micro or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Awardee irrevocably releases Micro and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Awardee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived Awardee’s entitlement to pursue such claim; | ||
(12) | the vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit Award ceases upon termination of employment, or other cessation of eligibility to vest for any reason, except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan document or this Award Agreement; | ||
(13) | Awardee acknowledges that this Award Agreement is between Awardee and Micro, and that the Employer is not a party to this Award Agreement; and | ||
(14) | Awardee agrees to provide Micro with any data requested if Awardee is a mobile employee to facilitate the proper withholding and reporting by Micro and/or the Employer, as applicable. |

of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Awardee’s local human resources
