WHEREAS, the CACI International Inc 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) permits the Committee to make awards of Performance Restricted Stock Units to key employees of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (any or all of the foregoing are referred to as “CACI”).
WHEREAS, the Grantee has been determined to be a key employee who is entitled to an Award under the Plan; and
WHEREAS, on [Grant Date:Month DD, YYYY] (the “Grant Date”), the Committee awarded the Grantee [Granted:Shares Granted] Performance Restricted Stock Units in order to provide the Grantee with a direct proprietary interest in the Company and to provide the Grantee with an incentive to remain in the employ of CACI.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Grantee covenant and agree as follows:

(a)“Account” means the bookkeeping account maintained for the Grantee pursuant to Section 2.

(1)gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful malfeasance by the Grantee in connection with the performance of any material duty for CACI;
(2)the Grantee’s commission or participation in any violation of any legal requirement or obligation relating to CACI (unless the Grantee had a reasonable good faith belief that the act, omission or failure to act in question was not a violation of such legal requirement or obligation) and such violation has materially and adversely affected CACI;
1

(7)the diversion or appropriation of any material business opportunity from CACI.
If the written employment agreement between the Grantee and CACI provides a different definition of “Cause” (or other term that defines conduct on the part of the Grantee that permits CACI to terminate such written employment agreement without liability to the Grantee), that definition shall control and shall be substituted for the above in applying the Plan to the Grantee.
(d)“Change in Control Date” shall be the date (after the Grant Date) on which a Change in Control event is legally consummated and legally binding upon the parties.
(e)“Competitor” means a person or entity (other than CACI) that engages in or owns, invests in, operates, manages, or controls any venture or enterprise which engages or proposes to engage in the business of providing goods or services to the Federal Government or to an individual or entity that would fall into the definition of Customer, provided such goods or services are the same as or similar to the goods or services CACI provides or offers to provide to the Federal Government or an individual or entity that would fall into the definition of Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the foregoing definition, “Competitor” includes, but is not limited to, the following entities and any of their subsidiaries and affiliates:

(f)“Customer” means all persons or entities that have either sought or purchased CACI’s goods or services, have contacted CACI for the purpose of seeking or purchasing CACI’s goods or services, or have been contacted by CACI for the purpose of selling its goods and services, provided that the Grantee worked with, managed others in the provision of goods or services to, or learned confidential information about such persons or entities during the most recent three years of the Employment Period (or during the Employment Period if shorter). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Customer shall be interpreted narrowly to be defined as the subdivision or sub-unit of a government agency or private sector business for which the goods or services were, are being, or are to be provided or performed by CACI, and not the entire agency or private sector business.
(g)“EBITDA” means the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as determined in accordance with GAAP and reflected in the Company’s earnings release, but without regard to any change in accounting standards that may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board after the Grant Date and modified so as to exclude any Extraordinary Items of Income.

(1)A material reduction in the Grantee’s total aggregate compensation and benefit opportunities from those in effect on the day before the Change in Control Date (other than a reduction made by the Board, acting in good faith, based upon the performance of the Grantee, or to align the compensation and benefits of the Grantee with that of comparable executives, based on market data);
(2)A substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of the Grantee’s position or responsibilities from those in effect on the day before the Change in Control Date; or
(3)A change in the geographic location of the Grantee’s principal job location by more than fifty (50) miles from the place at which such job was based on the day before the Change in Control Date.
Before the Grantee may resign for Good Reason, the Grantee must provide the Company at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of their intent to resign for Good Reason and specify in reasonable detail the Good Reason upon which such resignation is based. Such notice must be given within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the "Good Reason". The Company shall have a reasonable opportunity to cure any such Good Reason (that is susceptible of cure) within thirty (30) days after the Company's receipt of such notice. The failure to resign for one Good Reason does not prevent any later Good Reason resignation for a similar or different reason.
If a written employment agreement between the Grantee and CACI provides a different definition of “Good Reason” (or other term that defines conduct on the part of CACI that permits the Grantee to terminate such written employment agreement and receive substantially the same benefits as in the case of a termination by CACI without cause), that definition shall control and shall be substituted for the above with respect to the Grantee.

(p) “Separation from Service” means a Separation from Service, as defined in the Plan, of the Grantee from CACI.

Any capitalized term used herein that is not expressly defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning that such term has under the Plan unless otherwise provided herein.
2.AWARD OF RSUs.
(a) Grant of Performance RSUs. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Grantee on the Grant Date [Granted:Shares Granted] Performance RSUs. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive one share of Stock for each Performance RSU earned by the Grantee and vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The number of Performance RSUs to which the Grantee would be entitled to the extent the EBITDA vesting condition is attained by the Company, and the Service Requirement fully completed, shall be credited to the Grantee’s Account as of the Grant Date. The Grantee’s Account shall be the record of Performance RSUs granted to the Grantee hereunder and is solely for accounting purposes and shall not require a segregation of any assets of the Company. The Grantee shall not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Performance RSUs credited to the Grantee’s Account until shares of Stock have been distributed to the Grantee pursuant to Section 4, and the Grantee’s name has been entered as a stockholder of record on the books of the Company with respect to such distributed shares of Stock.
(b) Dividend Equivalents. If on any date prior to issuance of the shares of Stock subject to the Performance RSUs, the Company shall pay any dividend on the Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Stock), the number of Performance RSUs credited to Xxxxxxx’s Account shall as of such date be increased by an amount equal to: (i) the product of the number of Performance RSUs credited to the Grantee’s Account as of the record date for such dividend, multiplied by the per share amount of any dividend (or, in the case of any dividend payable in property other than cash, the per share value of such dividend, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company), divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the payment date of such dividend.
3.VESTING.
The Performance RSUs shall become earned and vested only upon, and to the extent of, the satisfaction of the Performance Measures (as defined in the Plan) and the completion of the employment requirements set forth below.
4
(a) EBITDA Condition/Vesting. The Performance RSUs shall be earned as follows, based on EBITDA achievement for the Performance Period (and the number of Performance RSUs that are so earned are referred to herein as “Earned RSUs”), subject to the Committee’s certification of EBITDA achievement:
| Performance Level | EBITDA of the Company and its Subsidiaries for Performance Period | Percentage of Performance RSUs that Vest | ||||||
| Below Cut | Less than $2,153.23M | 0% | ||||||
| Cut | $2,153.23M | 50% | ||||||
| Target | $2,392.48M | 100% | ||||||
| Stretch | $2,631.73M | 200% | ||||||
For EBITDA achievement between the goals above, the Earned RSUs shall be determined by linear interpolation.
EBITDA achievement for the Performance Period may be adjusted by the Committee in good faith to exclude the impact of any acquisitions, dispositions, and other significant events involving CACI.
(b) Regular Vesting Schedule. The Earned RSUs shall vest on the Vesting Date, subject to the Grantee’s continued employment through the Vesting Date except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.
(c) Retirement; Involuntary Termination Without Cause. Upon the Grantee’s Retirement or Involuntary Termination without Cause no earlier than one (1) year following the Grant Date, subject to the Grantee’s continued compliance with the Grantee’s obligations under Sections 5(c), 5(d), and 5(e), the Earned RSUs (if any) shall vest on the Vesting Date as if the Grantee had remained actively employed.
(d) Vesting Upon Disability or Death. The Grantee shall become 100% vested in all Earned RSUs on the Vesting Date if the Grantee’s employment terminates due to one of the following events: (i) the Grantee’s death or (ii) the Grantee’s Separation from Service due to Disability.
(e)Vesting Upon Change in Control. The Grantee shall become 100% vested in all unvested RSUs at the Target level of performance if the Grantee’s employment with CACI is Involuntarily Terminated without Cause by CACI or by the Grantee for “Good Reason”, and further provided that such termination of employment occurred within six (6) months before or twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control.
(f)Employment Requirement; Forfeiture. Except as provided in Section 3(b), (c), (d) or (e), or otherwise determined by the Committee, in order to become vested in (i.e., earn) Performance RSUs under the terms of this Agreement, the Grantee must have been in the continuous employment of CACI from the Grant Date through the close of business on the Vesting Date (or such earlier date on which the Performance RSUs become vested under Section 3(b), (c), (d) or (e)). The Grantee shall not be deemed to be employed by CACI if the Grantee’s employment has been terminated, even if the Grantee is receiving severance in the form of salary continuation through the regular payroll system. If the Grantee terminates employment with CACI for any reason other than Retirement as set forth in Section 3(c), Involuntary Termination Without Cause as set forth in Section 3(c), Disability, or death, the Grantee shall forfeit any Performance RSUs granted under this Agreement that are not vested as of such date and such Performance RSUs shall no longer be eligible to vest.
(g)Adjustment of Award. Payments under this Agreement are subject to recovery by the Company to the extent required by the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and any regulations promulgated thereunder and under any clawback or recoupment policy of the Company.
5
(h)Forfeiture of Award and Right to Payments. In the event that the employment of the Grantee is terminated for Cause then, in such event, the Grantee shall forfeit all rights to the Performance RSUs and shall repay to the Company all shares of Stock received by the Grantee with respect to such RSUs or the Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock if no longer in Grantee’s possession on or after the date of the act giving rise to the Grantee’s termination for Cause.
In the event that, following the Grantee’s termination of employment CACI discovers that, during the course of their employment with CACI, the Grantee committed an act that would have given rise to a termination for Cause, then, in such event, the Grantee shall forfeit all outstanding rights to the Performance RSUs. Further, the Grantee agrees and undertakes to repay to the Company all shares of Stock received by the Grantee or the Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock if no longer in Grantee’s possession on or after the date of such act or violation.
(i)Bankruptcy; Dissolution. Performance RSUs granted under this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and forfeited in the event that the Company is placed under the jurisdiction of a bankruptcy court, or is dissolved or liquidated.
4.ISSUANCE OF SHARES.
(a)Issuance of Shares. As soon as practicable after the Grantee’s shares have become earned and vested, the Company shall establish an account for the Grantee at UBS Financial Services, Inc., or such other similar organization which provides stock administration services to the Company, and transfer into such account shares of Stock equal in number to the number of Performance RSUs that became earned and vested (less the amount of any shares of Stock that are withheld to satisfy any tax withholding requirement); provided, however, in no event shall shares of Stock be issued later than the last day on which such issuance will qualify as a “short-term deferral” under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(a)(4). Upon issuance, such shares of Stock shall be registered on the Company’s books in the name of the Grantee in full payment and satisfaction of such Performance RSUs.
(b)Transfer Restrictions. Transfer of the shares of Stock shall be subject to the Company’s trading policies and any applicable securities laws or regulations governing transferability of shares of the Company.
(c)Securities Regulations. No Stock shall be issued hereunder until the Company has received all necessary stockholder and regulatory approvals and has taken all necessary steps to assure compliance with federal and state securities laws or has determined to its satisfaction and the satisfaction of its counsel that an exemption from the requirements of the federal and applicable state securities laws are available. To the extent applicable, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the U. S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Any ambiguities or inconsistencies in the construction of this Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted to give effect to such intention. However, to the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee in its discretion.
(d)Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Agreement. If, upon the issuance of shares of Stock under this Agreement, the Grantee would be entitled to a fractional share of Stock, the number of shares to which the Grantee is entitled shall be rounded up to the next lower whole number.
(e)Beneficiary.
(i) The Grantee may, from time to time, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Agreement is to be paid in case of the Grantee’s death before the Grantee has received all benefits to which the Grantee would have been entitled under this Agreement. Each designation of beneficiary shall revoke all prior designations by the Grantee, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when received in writing by the Committee. The last valid beneficiary designation received shall be controlling; provided, however, that no beneficiary designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received prior to the Grantee’s death.
6
(ii) If no valid and effective beneficiary designation exists at the time of the Grantee’s death, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Grantee, or if the Grantee’s beneficiary designation is invalid under the law, any benefit payable hereunder shall be made to the Grantee’s surviving spouse, if any, or if there is no such surviving spouse, to the executor or administrator of the Grantee’s estate. If the Committee is in doubt as to the right of any person to receive payment of any benefit hereunder, the Committee may direct that the amount of such benefit be paid into a court of competent jurisdiction in an interpleader action, and such payment into court shall fully and completely discharge any liability or obligation of the Plan, the Company, the Committee, or the Board of Directors of the Company under this Agreement.
5.GRANTEE COVENANTS.
(a) Acknowledgements. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the Grantee’s highly specialized skillset and CACI’s investment of time, training, money, trust, and exposure to CACI’s confidential information, the Grantee is intimately involved in the planning and direction of CACI’s global business operations. The Grantee further acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee’s agreement to enter into, and their compliance with, the covenants in this Section 5 are material factors in the Company’s decision to grant the Performance RSUs, which constitute good and valuable consideration for the covenants set forth in this Section 5.
(b) Unfair Competition. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of their receipt of CACI’s confidential information, their role at CACI, and their relationships with CACI’s customers and/or employees, the Grantee would have an unfair competitive advantage if they were to violate this Section 5 and that, in the event that their employment with CACI terminates for any reason, the Grantee possess marketable skills and abilities that will enable them to find suitable employment without violating the covenants set forth in this Section 5. The Grantee further acknowledges and affirms that they are accepting this Agreement voluntarily, that they have read this Agreement carefully, that they have had a full and reasonable opportunity to consider this Agreement (including actual consultation with legal counsel), and that they have not been pressured or in any way coerced, threatened or intimidated into entering into this Agreement.
(c) Noncompetition. During the Grantee’s period of employment with CACI (the “Employment Period”) and thereafter for a period of one year following termination of the Grantee’s employment for any reason (collectively, the “Restricted Period”), the Grantee agrees that they will not, directly or indirectly, on their own behalf or as a partner, owner, officer, director, stockholder, member, employee, agent or consultant of any other person, within any state (including the District of Columbia), territory, possession or country where CACI conducts business during the Restricted Period: (i) own, manage, operate, control, provide services as a consultant to, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, any Competitor; (ii) be employed by any Competitor in a position with responsibilities that are the same as or similar to the responsibilities the Grantee had while employed with CACI; or (iii) engage in the business of providing goods or services that are the same as or similar to the goods or services of CACI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may own or hold, solely as passive investments, securities of persons engaged in any business that would otherwise be included in (i), (ii), or (iii), as long as with respect to each such investment, the securities held by the Grantee do not exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of such person and such securities are publicly traded and registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(d) Non-Interference with Business Relationships. During the Restricted Period, the Grantee agrees that they will not, directly or indirectly, on their own behalf or as a partner, owner, officer, director, stockholder, member, employee, agent, or consultant of any other person, within any state (including the District of Columbia), territory, possession or country where CACI conducts business: (i) have any contact with any of CACI’s Customers or potential Customers for the purpose of soliciting or inducing (or attempting to solicit or induce) any of CACI’s Customers to discontinue or reduce its business with CACI, or any potential Customers not to conduct business with CACI, or any Customer or potential Customer to conduct business with or contract with any Competitor if such business or contract is competitive with CACI; or (ii) persuade or attempt to persuade: (A) any supplier, agent, broker, or contractor of CACI to discontinue or reduce its business with CACI; or (B) any prospective supplier, broker, agent, or contractor to refrain from doing business with CACI.
7
(e) Nonsolicitation of Personnel. During the Restricted Period, the Grantee agrees that they shall not, directly or indirectly, on their own behalf or as a partner, owner, officer, director, stockholder, member, employee, agent or consultant of any other person, within any state (including the District of Columbia), territory, possession or country where CACI conducts business during the Employment Period or during the Restricted Period solicit any employee or consultant of CACI to cease their employment or engagement with CACI to become employed or engaged in a competitive capacity with any Competitor, provided that the prohibition in this Section 5(e) shall only apply to such employees and consultants whom, during the most recent three years of the Employment Period (or the Employment Period if shorter), the Grantee: (i) supervised, managed, or worked with; or (ii) learned confidential information regarding.
(f) Severability. If any covenant, provision, or agreement contained in this Section 5 is found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable in duration, scope or character of restrictions, or otherwise to be unenforceable, such covenant, provision or agreement shall not be rendered unenforceable thereby, but rather the duration, scope or character of restrictions of such covenant, provision or agreement shall be deemed reduced or modified with retroactive effect to render such covenant, provision or agreement reasonable or otherwise enforceable (as the case may be), and such covenant, provision or agreement shall be enforced as modified. If the court having jurisdiction will not review the covenant, provision or agreement, the parties hereto shall mutually agree to a revision having an effect as close as permitted by applicable law to the provision declared unenforceable. The parties hereto agree that if a court having jurisdiction determines, despite the express intent of the parties hereto, that any portion of the covenants, provisions or agreements contained herein are not enforceable, the remaining covenants, provisions and agreements herein shall be valid and enforceable. Moreover, to the extent that any provision is declared unenforceable, CACI shall have any and all rights under applicable statutes or common law to enforce its rights with respect to any and all trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information or unfair competition by the Grantee.
(g) Remedies and Liquidated Damages. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any of the provisions of Section 5(c), 5(d), or 5(e) hereof, CACI will suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone will not be a sufficient remedy, and that, in addition to all other remedies that CACI may have, CACI shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance or any other form of equitable relief to remedy a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5 by the Grantee and to enforce the provisions of this Section 5. In addition, the Grantee shall immediately forfeit all unvested Performance RSUs and, upon request of the Company, shall promptly return to the Company any shares issued hereunder or, if Grantee no longer holds such shares, the cash Fair Market Value thereof) which the parties agree is a reasonable estimate of CACI’s likely monetary loss due to the Grantee’s breach. The existence of these rights shall not preclude or otherwise limit the applicability or exercise of any other rights and remedies which CACI may have at law or in equity. The Grantee waives any and all defenses they may have on the grounds of lack of subject matter jurisdiction or competence of a court to grant the injunctions or other equitable relief provided above and to the enforceability of this Agreement.
(h) Amendments for Certain Grantees. Section 5(c) shall not apply to the Grantee if, following the termination of the Grantee’s CACI employment, the Grantee continues to reside or work (whichever is applicable) in California, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, or Oklahoma, or if the enforcement thereof otherwise is prohibited by the law of the state in which the Grantee resides or works, whichever is applicable. Further, Section 5(c) shall not apply to the Grantee if they are employed as an attorney by CACI. Section 5(d) shall not apply to the Grantee if, following the termination of the Grantee’s CACI employment, the Grantee continues to reside or work (whichever is applicable) in California or North Dakota, or if the enforcement thereof otherwise is prohibited by the law of the state in which the Grantee resides or works, whichever is applicable. Section 5(e) shall not apply to the Grantee if, following the termination of the Grantee’s CACI employment, the Grantee continues to reside or work (whichever is applicable) in California, or if the enforcement thereof otherwise is prohibited by the law of the state in which the Grantee resides or works, whichever is applicable.
(i) Other Restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5 does not supersede any protective covenants applicable to the Grantee with respect to CACI, and those covenants shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
8
(j) Exclusive Jurisdiction. The Grantee agrees that the federal or state courts of Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to this Section 5 and the Grantee specifically consents to personal jurisdiction in such courts, even if the Grantee does not reside in Delaware at the time of any dispute arising out of or involving this Section 5; provided that, if, following the termination of the Grantee’s CACI employment, the Grantee continues to reside or work (whichever is applicable) in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, or Washington, the Grantee agrees that (i) the law of such state where the Grantee continues to reside or work (whichever is applicable) shall apply to this Section 5, and (ii) the federal or state courts of such state have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to this Section 5 and the Grantee specifically consents to personal jurisdiction in such courts if the Grantee resides or works (whichever is applicable) in that state at the time of any dispute arising out of or involving this Section 5.
(k) Disclosure. During the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall provide the Company with not less than two weeks’ prior written notice of the Grantee’s intent to accept any non-CACI employment or business opportunity and to cooperate with the reasonable requests by the Company for information related to such employment or engagement. Such notice shall afford the Company the opportunity to review and approve the Grantee’s compliance with the Grantee’s post-employment obligations arising out of this Agreement and otherwise. Notice under this Section 5(k) shall be provided to the Company’s General Counsel at xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx (or to the then current email address for the Company’s General Counsel). In the event the Grantee leaves CACI for any reason, the Grantee agrees to disclose the existence and terms of this Section 5 to any prospective employer, partner, co-venturer, investor or lender prior to entering into an employment, partnership or other business relationship with such prospective employer, partner, co-venturer, investor or lender.
6.MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)No Restriction on Company Authority. The award of these Performance RSUs to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the common stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
(b)Adjustment of Performance RSUs. If the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Stock or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of Stock outstanding, without receiving compensation therefore in money, services or property, the number and class of shares of Stock represented by the Performance RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement and credited to the Grantee’s Account shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Plan in such a manner as to represent the same total number of Performance RSUs that the owner of an equal number of outstanding shares of Stock would own as a result of the event requiring the adjustment.
(c)No Adjustment Otherwise. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock represented by the Performance RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement.
(d)Performance RSUs Nontransferable. Performance RSUs are not transferable by the Grantee by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, or otherwise.
9
(e)Obligation Unfunded. The obligation of the Company with respect to Performance RSUs granted hereunder shall be interpreted solely as an unfunded contractual obligation to make payments of Stock in the manner and under the conditions prescribed under this Agreement. Any shares or other assets set aside with respect to amounts payable under this Agreement shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors, and no person other than the Company shall, by virtue of the provisions of the Plan or this Agreement, have any interest in such assets. In no event shall any assets set aside (directly or indirectly) with respect to amounts payable under this Agreement be located or transferred outside the United States. Neither the Grantee nor any other person shall have any interest in any particular assets of the Company by reason of the right to receive a benefit under this Agreement, and the Grantee or any such other person shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any rights under the Plan or this Agreement.
(f)Withholding Taxes. The Company shall effect a withholding of shares of Stock to be issued hereunder in such number whose aggregate Fair Market Value at such time equals the total amount of any federal, state or local taxes or any applicable taxes or other withholding of any jurisdiction required or permitted by law to be withheld as a result of the issuance of the Stock in whole or in part; provided, however, that the value of the Stock withheld by the Company may not exceed the statutory maximum withholding amounts. In lieu of such deduction, the Company may permit the Grantee to make a cash payment to the Company equal to the amount required to be withheld.
(g)Impact on Other Benefits. The value of the Performance RSUs (either on the Grant Date or at the time, if ever, the Performance RSUs are vested) shall not be includable as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other benefit plan offered by the Company.
