Exhibit 10.1
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT
a.Grant of Performance Units. The Company hereby grants to the individual (the
“Participant”) named in the Notice of Performance Unit Grant of this Award
Agreement (the “Notice of Grant”) under the Plan an Award of Performance Units,
subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement and the Plan,
which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 21(c) of the Plan,
in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the
terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the
Plan shall prevail.
b.Company’s Obligation to Deliver and Settle. Each Performance Unit represents
the right to receive up to [●]% of a Share on the date it vests, based on the
level of attainment of the Performance Goal. Unless and until the Performance
Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Section ‎3 or ‎4, Participant
will have no right to settlement of any such Performance Units. Prior to actual
settlement of any vested Performance Units, such Performance Units will
represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from
the general assets of the Company.
c.Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section ‎4, and subject to Section ‎5,
the Performance Units awarded by this Award Agreement will be earned and vest in
accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant, subject
to Participant continuing to be a Service Provider through each applicable
vesting date.
d.Settlement after Vesting.
1.General Rule. Subject to Section ‎8, any Earned Performance Units that vest
will be settled to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his
or her properly designated beneficiary or estate) in whole Shares. Subject to
the provisions of Section 4‎(b), such vested Earned Performance Units shall be
settled in whole Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such
case within sixty (60) days following the vesting date. In no event will
Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of
payment of any Earned Performance Units payable under this Award Agreement.
2.Discretionary Acceleration. The Administrator, in its discretion, may
accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of
the unearned or unvested Performance Units at any time, subject to the terms of
the Plan. If so accelerated, such Performance Units will be considered as having
been earned or vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. If
Participant is a U.S. taxpayer, the payment of Shares vesting pursuant to this
Section 4‎(b) shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt
from, or complies with, Section 409A of the Code. The prior sentence may be
superseded in a future agreement or amendment to this Award Agreement only by
direct and specific reference to such sentence.
e.Forfeiture Upon Termination as a Service Provider. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this Award Agreement, if Participant ceases to be a
Service Provider for any or no reason, the then-unvested Performance Units
awarded by this Award Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the
Company and Participant will have no further rights thereunder.
A-3
        
#93246645v2 

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

Exhibit 10.1
f.Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant
under this Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to
Participant’s designated beneficiary (to the extent such designation is
permitted by the Company and the Company has determined it to be valid under
applicable law), or if no beneficiary has been validly designated or no
beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s
estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of
his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to
establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or
regulations pertaining to said transfer.
g.Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will
have full discretion, subject to any applicable regulatory approvals, to take
whatever actions it deems necessary or appropriate with respect to unvested
Performance Units, in accordance with Section 15 of the Plan.
h.Tax Obligations.
3.Responsibility for Taxes. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any
action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the
“Employer”) or Parent or Subsidiary to which Participant is providing services
(together, the Company, Employer and/or Parent or Subsidiary to which
Participant is providing services, the “Service Recipient”), the ultimate
liability for any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits
tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s
participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (collectively,
the “Tax Obligations”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may
exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service
Recipient. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax Obligations in more than
one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service
Recipient (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or
account for Tax Obligations in more than one jurisdiction. If Participant fails
to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required Tax
Obligations hereunder at the time of the applicable taxable event, Participant
acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to issue or deliver the
Shares or proceeds from the sale of Shares.
4.Tax Withholding and Default Sell-to-Cover Method of Tax Withholding. Prior to
any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees
to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service
Recipient to satisfy all Tax Obligations. Subject to Section 8‎(c), the Tax
Obligations which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to this
Award (“Tax Withholding Obligation”) will be satisfied with consideration
received under a formal, broker-assisted cashless program adopted by the Company
in connection with the Plan pursuant to this authorization (the “Sell-to-Cover
Method”). In addition to Shares sold to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation,
additional Shares will be sold to satisfy any associated broker or other fees.
Only whole Shares will be sold through the Sell-to-Cover Method to satisfy any
Tax Withholding Obligation and any associated broker or other fees. Any proceeds
from the sale of Shares in excess of the Tax Withholding Obligation and any
associated broker or other fees generated through the Sell-to-Cover Method will
be paid to Participant in accordance with procedures the Company may specify
from time to time. By accepting this Award, Participant
A-4
        
#93246645v2 

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

Exhibit 10.1
expressly consents to the sale of Shares to cover the Tax Withholding Obligation
(and any associated broker or other fees) through the Sell-to-Cover Method.
5.Administrator Discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 8‎(a) and
8‎(b), if the Administrator determines it is in the best interests of the
Company for Participant to satisfy Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation by a
method other than through the default Sell-to-Cover Method described in Section
8‎(b), it may permit or require Participant to satisfy Participant’s Tax
Withholding Obligation, in whole or in part (without limitation), if permissible
by Applicable Laws, with (i) cash in U.S. dollars, (ii) check designated in U.S.
dollars, (iii) withholding from Participant's wages or other cash compensation
paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Service Recipient, (iv)
withholding in Shares otherwise issuable upon vesting of the Earned Performance
Units or (v) any other method approved in the sole discretion of the
Administrator.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or the Service Recipient
may withhold or account for the Tax Withholding Obligation by considering
minimum statutory withholding rates or other withholding rates, including
maximum applicable rates in Participant’s jurisdiction, in which case
Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will
have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the Tax Withholding
Obligation is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant
will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the
Earned Performance Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back
solely for the purpose of satisfying the Tax Withholding Obligation.
i.Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or
through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder
of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until
certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) will
have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents
or registrars, and delivered to Participant (including through electronic
delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation, and
delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company
with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on
such Shares.
j.Grant Is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in
Section ‎6, Section 14 of the Plan will govern the transferability of the
Performance Units.
k.Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, Participant acknowledges, understands
and agrees that:
6.the grant of Performance Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and
does not create any contractual right to receive future grants of Performance
Units, or benefits in lieu of Performance Units, even if Performance Units have
been granted in the past;
7.all decisions with respect to future grants of Awards, if any, will be at the
sole discretion of the Company;
8.Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

Exhibit 10.1
9.the future value of the Shares underlying the Performance Units is unknown,
indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
10.for purposes of the Performance Units, Participant’s status as a Service
Provider will be considered terminated as of the date Participant is no longer
actively providing services to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary
(regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to
be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant
is a Service Provider or the terms of Participant’s employment or service
agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award
Agreement (including by reference in the Notice of Grant to other arrangements
or contracts) or determined by the Administrator, Participant’s right to vest in
the Performance Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and
will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Participant’s period of service
would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave”
or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where
Participant is a Service Provider or the terms of Participant’s employment or
service agreement, if any, unless Participant is providing bona fide services
during such time); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to
determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes
of the Performance Units grant (including whether Participant may still be
considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence and consistent
with local law);
11.unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Performance Units and Shares
subject to the Performance Units, and the income from 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; and
12.for Participants who reside outside the United States, the following
additional provisions shall apply:
i.the Performance Units and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended
to replace any pension rights or compensation;
ii.the Performance Units and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income
from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any
purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation,
termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension or retirement, or welfare benefits or similar
payments;
iii.no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the
forfeiture of the Performance Units resulting from the termination of
Participant’s status as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever, whether
or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the
jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of his or her employment
or service agreement, if any); and
iv.neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any
foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the
United States Dollar

that may affect the value of the Performance Units or of any amounts due to
Participant pursuant to the settlement of Performance Units or subsequent sale
of Shares acquired upon settlement.
l.Tax Consequences and Acknowledgements.
13.Participant has reviewed with his or her own tax advisors the U.S. federal,
state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of this investment and the
transactions contemplated by this Award Agreement. With respect to such matters,
Participant relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or
representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral.
Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be
responsible for Participant’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of
this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Award Agreement.
14.Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient
(i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax
Obligations in connection with any aspect of the Performance Units, including,
but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Performance Units,
the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the
receipt of any dividends or other distributions, and (ii) do not commit to and
are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the
Performance Units to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax
Obligations or achieve any particular tax result.
m.Data Protection.
15.Data Processing. By participating in the Plan, Participant understands and
acknowledges that it is necessary for the Company, Parent and any of their
Subsidiaries or affiliates to collect, use, disclose, hold, transfer and
otherwise process certain personal information about Participant as described in
Section 28 of the Plan. This personal data (hereinafter “Data”) includes but is
not limited to, 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 Performance Units or any other entitlement to Shares
awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, which
the Company receives from Participant or the Employer. This may include the
international transfer of Participant’s Data to a jurisdiction that might have
enacted data privacy laws that are less protective or otherwise different from
those applicable in the Participant's country of residence.
16.Necessary Disclosure of Data. Participant understands that providing the
Company with Data is necessary for performance of the Award Agreement and that
Participant’s refusal to provide the Data would make it impossible for the
Company to perform its contractual obligations and legitimate interests and may
affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
17.Data Processing and Transfer Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Participant is located in a jurisdiction for which the lawful bases for
processing and transferring personal data described in the Plan are not
recognized, then, to the extent applicable, Participant hereby unambiguously

the Employer, the Company and any affiliate for the exclusive purpose of
implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the
Plan. Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, refuse or
withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing
his or her human resources representative. If Participant does not consent or
later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Participant’s employment status or
service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing
or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant
Performance Units or other Awards to Participant under the Plan or administer or
maintain such Awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or
withdrawing consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.
For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of
consent, Participant should contact his or her local human resources
representative.
n.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or
financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding
Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of
the underlying Shares. Participant should consult with his or her own personal
tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan
before taking any action related to the Plan.

p.Language. Participant acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient
in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in
English, so as to allow Participant to understand the terms and conditions of
the Award Agreement. If Participant has received the Award Agreement or any
other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than

Award Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Award Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any assignee or successor of the
Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein and in the
Plan, this Award Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. The rights and
obligations of Participant under this Award Agreement may only be assigned with
the prior written consent of the Company.
r.Interpretation. The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan
and this Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to
interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the
determination of whether or not any Performance Units have vested). The
Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and
binding on Participant and any other holders of the Performance Units or other
interested persons. Neither the Administrator nor any person acting on behalf of
the Administrator will be personally liable for any

s.Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to
serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Award Agreement.

on, the remaining provisions of this Award Agreement.
u.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose
other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the
Performance Units and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the
Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative
reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or
undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
v.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant may be subject to
insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable
jurisdictions including, but not limited to the United States and Participant’s
country, the broker's country or the country in which the Shares are listed (if
different), which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell or
otherwise dispose of Shares or rights to Shares or rights linked to the value of
Shares during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside
information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in
applicable jurisdictions). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are
separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any
applicable Company insider trading policy. Participant acknowledges that it is
Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and
Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.
w.Foreign Asset/Account, Exchange Control and Tax Requirements. Participant
acknowledges that, depending on his or her country, there may be certain foreign
asset and/or account reporting requirements or exchange control restrictions
which may affect Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares or cash
received from participating in the Plan (including proceeds from the sale of
Shares and dividends paid on Shares) in, to and/or from a brokerage or bank
account or legal entity outside Participant’s country. Participant may be
required to report such accounts, assets or related transactions to the tax or
other authorities in his or her country. Participant also may be required to
repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participating in
the Plan to Participant’s country through a designated bank or broker and/or
within a certain time after receipt. Participant acknowledges that he or she is

description of the Plan. Participant understands that
A-9

the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated
by the Company at any time.

representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Subject to
Sections 15 and 21 of the Plan, modifications to this Award Agreement or the
Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly
authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Plan or this Award Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this
Award Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and
without the consent of Participant, to comply with Section 409A of the Code or
to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under
Section 409A of the Code in connection with this Award of Performance Units.

this Award Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such
provision or provisions, nor prevent that party from thereafter enforcing each

parties herein are cumulative and shall not constitute a waiver of either
party’s right to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the
circumstances.

conflict of law principles thereof. For purposes of litigating any dispute that

any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or
related to this Award Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
ac.Entire Agreement. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and
this Award Agreement (including the appendices and exhibits referenced herein)
constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and
agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter

GLOBAL PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT
COUNTRY ADDENDUM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Country Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the
Award of Performance Units granted to Participant under the Plan if Participant
works in one of the countries listed below. If Participant is a citizen or
resident of a country (or is considered as such for local law purposes) other
than the one in which he or she is currently working or if Participant relocates

will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions
contained herein will be applicable to Participant.
Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Country Addendum shall
have the meanings set forth in the Plan, and/or the Global Performance Unit
Agreement to which this Country Addendum is attached.
NOTIFICATIONS
This Country Addendum also includes notifications relating to exchange control

participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control,
securities and other laws in effect in the countries listed in this Country
Addendum, as of [●]. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a
result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the
notifications herein as the only source of information relating to the
consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may
be outdated when Participant vests in the Performance Units and acquires Shares,
or when Participant subsequently sell Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the notifications are general in nature and may not apply to
Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to
assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant should
seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in
Participant’s country may apply to Participant’s situation.
Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one
in which Participant is currently working (or is considered as such for local
law purposes) or if Participant moves to another country after receiving the

applicable to Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a director or executive officer

HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Company and/or the

Participant’s agreement to accept liability for any secondary Class 1 national
insurance contributions, which may be payable by the Employer in connection with
any event giving rise to tax liability in relation to the Performance Units
(“Employer NICs”). The Employer NICs may be collected by the Company or the
Employer using any of the methods described in the Award Agreement. Without
prejudice to the foregoing, Participant agrees to execute a joint election with
the Company or the Employer (a “NICs Joint Election”), the form of such NICs
Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and any other consent or
elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer NICs to

of continuing the effectiveness of Participant’s NICs Joint Election. If
Participant does not complete the Joint Election prior to the Performance Units
vesting, or if approval of the NICs Joint Election is withdrawn by HMRC and a
new NICs Joint Election is not entered into, Participant’s Performance Units
shall become null and void and may not be settled, without any liability to the
Company or its Subsidiaries. Participant must enter into the NICs Joint Election
attached to the Award Agreement as Exhibit B concurrent with the execution of
the Award Agreement or at such subsequent time as may be designated by the
