right to continue in the employ or Service of the Company or any Affiliate or
shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its
Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or
terminate the Services of the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever,

dividend equivalent rights related to any cash or other dividend paid by the

Executives or Change in Control Plan for Executives, any Executive Severance
Agreement between the Participant and the Company, or for any other plan or
agreement providing for severance pay to Participant.

policies of the Company, as in effect from time to time (including the Company’s
Clawback Policy), or as otherwise required by law. In addition, in the event

has violated the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, the Company may require

A-2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of full months of the Performance Period during which the Participant was
employed by or was providing Services to the Company or any Affiliate, which

Company or any Affiliate prior the end of the Performance Period on account of
death or Disability, the Participant will be entitled to receive a portion of
the Performance Award equal to the value of the Performance Award that would
have vested based upon actual performance had the Participant's employment or
Services not terminated, pro-rated for the number of full months of the
Performance Period during which the Participant was employed by or was providing
Services to the Company or any Affiliate and shall be paid in accordance with
Section 3.3 above.
(b) Retention Award. If the Participant terminates employment with or ceases to

5.1 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control:
(a) The Performance Award shall, immediately prior to the Change in Control,
cease to be subject to the achievement of the Performance Criteria and vest in

consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All
actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the
Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the
Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator or the

6.2 Restrictions on Transfer. Any unvested portion of an Award may not be

6.3 Invalid Transfers. No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation,
transfer, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or
other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any
unvested portion of the Award by any holder thereof in violation of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be valid, and the Company will not transfer
any of said unvested Award on its books or otherwise, unless and until there has
been full compliance with said provisions to the satisfaction of the Company.
The foregoing restrictions are in addition to and not in lieu of any other
remedies, legal or equitable, available to enforce said provisions.
6.4 Termination of Employment or Service/Breach of the Restrictive Covenant
Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine the effect

A-4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.6 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve
as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
6.7 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the
interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the
terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under
principles of conflicts of laws.
6.8 Amendments, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan,
this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified,
suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or
the Board; provided, however, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the
Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement
shall adversely affect the Award in any material way without the prior written
consent of the Participant.
6.9 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the
restrictions on transfer herein set forth in this Article 6, this Agreement
shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns.
6.10 Unfunded Status of Awards. With respect to any payments not yet made to the
Participant pursuant to the Plan, including this Award, nothing contained in the
Plan, the Notice, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement or this Agreement shall
give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general
creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.
6.11 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Notice, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement
and this Agreement (including all Schedules and Exhibits thereto) constitute the
entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior
undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to
the subject matter hereof.
6.12 Certain Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein (or any other agreement entered into by and between the Company and the
Participant, or any incentive or retention arrangement or plan offered by the
Company), in the event that the amount or benefit paid or distributed to the
Participant pursuant to this Agreement, taken together with any amounts or
benefits otherwise paid to the Participant by the Company or any Affiliate (the
“Total Payments”) would constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and would thereby
subject the Participant to any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code
or any successor provision thereto (an “Excise Tax”), the provisions of this
Section 6.12 shall apply. If the aggregate present value (as determined for
purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of the Total Payment exceeds the amount
which can be paid to the Participant without Participant incurring an Excise
Tax, then, solely to the extent that the Participant would be better off on an
after tax basis by receiving the maximum amount which may be paid hereunder
without the Participant becoming subject to the Excise Tax, as determined by a
nationally recognized accounting firm designated by the Company prior to the
occurrence of the Change in Control, the amounts payable to Participant under
this Agreement (or any other agreement by and between the Participant and
Company or any of its Affiliates or pursuant to any incentive arrangement or
plan offered by the Company) shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the
maximum amount which may be paid hereunder without the Participant becoming
subject to the Excise Tax. In the event a Participant receives reduced payments
and benefits as a result of application of this Section 6.12, the Participant
shall have the right to designate which of the payments and benefits otherwise
set forth herein (or any other agreement between the Company and the Participant
or any incentive or retention arrangement or plan offered by the Company) shall
be received in connection with the application of the reduced payments, subject
to the following sentence. Reduction shall be made in the following order: (i)
at the discretion of the Participant, payments that are valued in full under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 and are not subject to Section 409A
of the Code, (ii) payments that are valued in full under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 and are subject to Section 409A of the Code, with the
amounts that are payable last reduced first, (iii) at the discretion of the
Participant, payments that are valued at less than full value under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 and are not subject to Section 409A of the
Code and (iv) payments that are valued at less than full value under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 and are subject to Section 409A of the Code,
with the amounts that are payable last reduced first.
A-5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.13 Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under
this Agreement and the Award be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the
Code, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement and the
Award shall be interpreted and administered to be in accordance therewith.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Participant shall
not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of
any payments under this Agreement and the Award which are subject to Section
409A of the Code until the Participant would be considered to have incurred a
“separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of
the Code. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement
and the Award shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes
of Section 409A of the Code, and any payments described in this Agreement and
the Award that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in
Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless
applicable law requires otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing and
notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent
required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under
Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits
that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement and the Award during
the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s separation from
service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is
six months following the Participant’s separation from service (or, if earlier,
the Participant’s death). The Company makes no representation that any or all of
the payments described in this Agreement and the Award will be exempt from or
comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude
Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. The Participant
understands and agrees that he or she shall be solely responsible for the
payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.
6.14 Disclosure Regarding Use of Personal Information.
(a) Definition and Use of “Personal Information”. In connection with the grant
of the Award, and any other award under other incentive award programs, and the
implementation and administration of any such program, including, without
limitation, the Participant’s actual participation, or consideration by the
Company for potential future participation, in any program at any time, it is or
may become necessary for the Company to collect, transfer, use, and hold certain
personal information regarding Participant in and/or outside of Participant’s
country of employment. The “Personal Information” the Company may collect,
process, store and transfer for the purposes outlined above may include the
Participant’s name, nationality, citizenship, tax or other residency status,
work authorization, date of birth, age, government/tax identification number,
passport number, brokerage account information, GEID or other internal
identifying information, home address, work address, job and location history,
compensation and incentive award information and history, business unit,
employing entity, and the Participant’s beneficiaries and contact information.
The Participant may obtain more details regarding the access and use of his or
her personal information, and may correct or update such information, by
contacting his or her human resources representative or local equity
coordinator.
(b) Use, Transfer, Storage and Processing of Personal Information. The use,
transfer, storage and processing of Personal Information electronically or
otherwise, may be in connection with the Company’s internal administration of
its incentive award programs, or in connection with tax or other governmental
and regulatory compliance activities directly or indirectly related to an
incentive award program. To the extent permitted by law, Personal Information
may be used by third parties retained by the Company to assist with the
administration and compliance activities of its incentive award programs, and
may be transferred by the entity that employs (or any entity that has employed)
the Participant from the Participant’s country of employment to the Company (or
its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) and third parties located in the U.S. and in
other countries. Specifically, those parties that may have access to the
Participant’s Personal Information for the purposes described herein include,
but are not limited to: (i) human resources personnel responsible for
administering the award programs, including local and regional equity award
coordinators, and global coordinators located in the U.S.; (ii) Participant’s
U.S. broker and equity account administrator and trade facilitator; (iii)
Participant’s U.S., regional and local employing entity and business unit
management, including Participant’s supervisor and his or her superiors; (iv)
the Administrator; (v) the Company’s technology systems support team (but only
to the extent necessary to maintain the proper operation of electronic
information systems that support the incentive award programs); and (vi)
internal and external legal, tax and accounting advisors (but only to the extent
necessary for them
A-6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to advise the Company on compliance and other issues affecting the incentive
award programs in their respective fields of expertise). At all times, Company
personnel and third parties will be obligated to maintain the confidentiality of
the Participant’s Personal Information except to the extent the Company is
required to provide such information to governmental agencies or other parties.
Such action will always be undertaken only in accordance with applicable law.
