SECTION 3.     Vesting, Forfeiture, and Delivery of Shares.
(a)     Vesting. The Grant Notice specifies the Performance Goals required to be
attained during the Performance Period for the Performance Units to vest. The
Award shall vest on the date the Company’s Compensation Committee (the
“Committee”) certifies attainment of the Performance Goals set forth in the
Grant Notice have been attained provided that the Participant is actively
employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the measurement date as of which the
Performance Goal is certified or such earlier date set forth in the Grant
Notice. For purposes of this Award Agreement, an “Affiliate” of the Company is
an individual or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with,
the Company.
(b)     Forfeiture. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, or unless
otherwise provided in the Grant Notice, a written agreement between the Company
and the Participant or any other plan, policy or program of the Company then in
effect, the Participant’s rights with respect to this Award shall immediately
terminate, and the Participant will not be entitled to receive any Shares or any
other payments or benefits with respect thereto (as further described in Section
8(l) below) upon termination of employment.
(c)     Delivery of Shares. Upon vesting of the Award, the Shares shall be
delivered to the Participant in settlement of the vested Performance Units in
accordance with the Settlement Section of the Grant Notice.
SECTION 4.     Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalents. The Participant shall not be
entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to a Performance Unit and
shall not be entitled to receive dividends, dividend equivalents or other
distributions with respect to the Shares underlying such Performance Units prior
to the date on which the Participant’s rights with respect to the Performance
Units have become vested and Shares are delivered to the Participant.
SECTION 5.     Non-Transferability of Performance Units. Unless otherwise
provided by the Committee in its discretion, Performance Units may not be sold,
assigned, alienated, transferred, pledged, attached or otherwise encumbered by
the Participant. Any purported sale, assignment, alienation, transfer, pledge,
attachment or other encumbrance of a Performance Unit in violation of the
provisions of this Section 5 shall be void.
SECTION 6.     Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)     Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer, if
other than the Company (the “Employer”), takes with respect to any or all
federal, state or local income tax, social security contributions, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s
participation in the Plan that are legally applicable to the Participant
(“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability
for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and
that such liability may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or
the Employer. The Participant 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 Units,
including, without limitation, the grant, vesting or settlement of the
Performance Units, the issuance of Shares on the relevant settlement date, the
subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of
any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to
structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Performance Units to
reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve
any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant becomes subject

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

to tax and/or social security contributions in more than one jurisdiction, the
Participant acknowledges that the Company 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.
(b)     Prior to any relevant taxable, tax and/or social security contribution
withholding event, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements
satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related
Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the
Employer, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations
with respect to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i)     withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid
to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or
(ii)     withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting
of the Performance Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory
sale arrangement by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this
authorization); or
(iii)     withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Performance
Units; or
(iv)     by requiring direct payment from the Participant in cash (or its
equivalent).
(c)     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 withholding
rates, in which case the participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld
amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the
obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, the
Participant is deemed, for tax and/or social security contributions and other
purposes, to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested
Performance Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely
for the purposes of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect
of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
(d)     The Participant shall pay to the Company 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 the Participant’s participation in the Plan that
cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Participant expressly
acknowledges that the delivery of Shares pursuant to Section 3(c) above is
conditioned on satisfaction of all Tax-Related Items in accordance with this
Section 6, and that the Company may refuse to deliver the Shares if the
Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection
with the Tax-Related Items.
SECTION 7.     Consents and Legends.
(a)     Consents. The Participant’s rights in respect of the Performance Units
are conditioned on the receipt to the full satisfaction of the Committee of any
required consents that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable
(including, without limitation, the Participant’s consent to the Company’s
supplying to any third-party recordkeeper of the Plan such personal information
as the Committee deems advisable to administer the Plan, as may further be
described to the extent applicable discussing applicable data privacy
considerations in an addendum to this Award Agreement, as described in Section
18).

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

(b)     Legends. The Company may affix to certificates for Shares issued
pursuant to this Award Agreement any legend that the Committee determines to be
necessary or advisable (including to reflect any restrictions to which the
Participant may be subject under any applicable securities laws). The Company
may advise the applicable transfer agent to place a stop order against any
legended Shares.
SECTION 8.     Nature of Award. As a condition to the receipt of this Award, the

any), and, in consideration of the Award, the Participant agrees not to
institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or
Affiliate;
(l)     except as otherwise provided by the Committee or the Grant Notice, in
the event of termination of the Participant’s employment, the Participant’s
right to vest in the Performance Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate

Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant
is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Performance Units;
(m)     unless otherwise agreed with the Company, Performance Units and Shares
subject to the Performance Units, and the income and value of same, are not
granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may
provide as a director of a Subsidiary or an Affiliate;
(n)     the Performance Units and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not
automatically transfer to a successor company in the case of a Change of Control
or a merger, takeover, or transfer of liability of the Employer; and

for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local
currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or
of any amounts due to the Participant for the settlement of the Performance
Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
SECTION 9.     No Advice Regarding Grant. Nothing in this Award Agreement should
be viewed as the provision by the Company of any tax, legal, or financial
advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the
Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or
sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant understands and agrees that
Participant should consult with the Participant’s own personal tax, legal and
financial advisors regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan before
taking any action in relation thereto.

reorganization, combination or exchange of shares, sale by the Company of all or
part of its assets, distribution to shareholders other than a normal cash

and prior to the end of the settlement date, that affects the value of the
Performance Units or Shares, the number, class and kind of the securities

compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect thereto.
SECTION 25.     Waiver. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the

acknowledges that the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions

the Shares or rights to the Shares issued in settlement of the Performance Units
during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information”
regarding the Company (as defined by the applicable laws in Participant's
country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and

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

his or her participation in the Plan in, to and/or from a brokerage/bank account
or legal entity located outside the Participant’s country. The applicable laws
of the Participant’s country may require that the Participant report such

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

ADDENDUM
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO
AWARD AGREEMENT (PERF UNIT-006)
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Addendum, which is part of the Award Agreement, includes additional terms
and conditions that govern the Award and that will apply to the Participant if
he or she resides in one of the countries listed below. Capitalized terms that
are not defined in this Addendum shall have the meanings used or defined in the
Award Agreement or the Plan.
NOTIFICATIONS
This Addendum also includes information regarding securities, exchange control
and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect
to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the
securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the countries set forth
below as of September 2016. Such laws are often complex and change frequently.
As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely
solely on this Addendum for information relating to the consequences of
participating in the Plan because such information may be outdated when the
Participant’s Performance Units vest and/or the Participant sells any Shares
acquired on a settlement date.
In addition, the information set forth in this Addendum is general in nature and
may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation. As a result, the
Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result.
The Participant therefore is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as
to the application of relevant laws in the Participant’s country to the
Participant’s particular situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the
one in which he or she currently is working, or transfers to a different country
after the Grant Date, the information set forth in this Addendum may not apply
to the Participant.
ALL COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE U.S.
Data Privacy.
(a) The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the
collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data set
forth in this Award Agreement and any other Award grant materials by and among,
as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive
purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s
participation in the Plan.
(b) The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold
certain personal information about him/her, including, without limitation, the
Participant’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, 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 Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised,
vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the
exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
(c) The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to E*Trade
Financial (or one of its affiliates) or such other stock plan service provider
as may be selected by the Committee in

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

the future (any such entity, “Broker”), which is assisting the Company with the
implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant
understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States
or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may
have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country.
The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the
names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the
Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes
the Company, the Broker and any other possible recipients that may assist the
Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and
managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in
electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering
and managing the participation of Participant and other participants in the
Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is
necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in
the Plan. The Participant understands that he/she may, at any time, view Data,
request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any
necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any
case without cost, by contacting in writing the Participant’s local human
resources representative or the Company’s Stock Plan Administrator. Further, the
Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a
purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the
Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment
status or service with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only
consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the
Company would not be able to grant Performance Units or other equity awards to
the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the
Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent
will not adversely affect the Participant’s employment status or service with
the Employer; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is it
affects the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more
information on the consequences of a refusal to consent or withdrawal of
consent, the Participant may contact his/her local human resources
representative or the Company’s Stock Plan Administrator.
Language. If the Participant receives the Award Agreement or any other document
related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the
meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the
English version will control.
