2013 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


RSU AWARD AGREEMENT


RECITALS


A.The Board has adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time (the “Plan”)) for the purpose of providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of NortonLifeLock Inc. (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, all references to the Company under the Plan shall mean NortonLifeLock Inc.).


B.The Participant is to render valuable services to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and this RSU Award Agreement (including any additional terms set forth on any appendices attached hereto, this “Agreement”) is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Company’s issuance of rights in respect of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) in the form of Restricted Stock Units (each, an “RSU”).


C.All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them herein. All undefined terms shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan.


NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:


1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby awards to the Participant RSUs under the Plan. Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share on the vesting date of that RSU, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. The number of Shares subject to this Award, the applicable vesting schedule for the RSUs and the Shares, the dates on which those vested Shares shall be issued to the Participant and the remaining terms and conditions governing this Award shall be as set forth in this Agreement.


2.Grant Acceptance; Acknowledgement. The Company and the Participant agree that the RSUs are granted under and governed by the Grant Notice (as defined below), this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan. The Participant: (a) acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan prospectus, (b) represents that the Participant has carefully read and is familiar with the provisions thereof, and (c) hereby accepts the RSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement set forth herein, in the Plan and in the Grant Notice. If the Participant does not wish to receive the RSUs and/or does not consent and agree to the terms and conditions on which the RSUs are offered, as set forth in this Agreement (including any appendices hereto) and the Plan, then the Participant must reject this Award via the website of the Company’s designated broker, no later than thirty (30) days following the Award Date (as defined below) set forth in the Grant Notice. If the Participant rejects this Award, this Award will immediately be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration. The Participant’s failure to reject this Award within this thirty (30) day period will constitute the Participant’s acceptance of this Award and all terms and conditions of this Award, as set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.






Exhibit 10.04

AWARD SUMMARY


						
	Award Date and Number of Shares Subject to Award:
	The Award Date shall mean the date the RSUs are granted to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement (the “Award Date”) and shall be the date indicated in the notice as provided by the Stock Administration Department of the Company, or such other applicable department of the Company, providing the Participant with notice of the issuance of an RSU award pursuant to the Plan and terms of this Agreement (the “Grant Notice”).

	

Vesting Schedule:
	The RSUs shall vest pursuant to the schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Vesting Schedule”).


The RSUs allocated to each applicable vesting date shall vest on that date only if the Participant’s service has not Terminated as of such date, and no additional RSUs shall vest following the Participant’s Termination. Provided however, if Participant’s service has Terminated prior to a vesting date as set forth in the Grant Notice, a pro-rated amount of the RSUs will vest based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant provided services to the Company prior to the following vesting date and the denominator of which is the total number of days between the prior vesting date and the following vesting date (including the date of the prior vesting date).


Notwithstanding anything in the Grant Notice, the RSUs will vest in their entirety upon a Change in Control (as defined under the NortonLifeLock Inc. Executive Retention Plan (as amended from time to time)), so long as the Participant continuously provides services to the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary from the Award Date through the consummation of such Change in Control.


If the Participant is Terminated by reason of death or Disability, the award shall vest in full as of immediately prior to such Termination.


The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Vesting Schedule may change prospectively in the event that the Participant’s service status changes between full and part-time status in accordance with Company policies relating to work schedules and vesting of awards.

	

Issuance Schedule:
	The Shares in which the Participant vests in accordance with the foregoing Vesting Schedule shall be issuable as set forth in Section 6. However, the actual number of Shares to be issued will be subject to the provisions of Section 7 pursuant to which the applicable withholding taxes are to be collected.







3.Limited Transferability. This Award, and any interest therein, shall not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner by the Participant, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution unless otherwise determined by the Committee or its delegate(s) in accordance with the terms of the Plan on a case-by-case basis.

Exhibit 10.04



4.Cessation of Service. If the Participant’s service as an Eligible Individual to the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company is Terminated for any reason (whether or not in breach of local labor laws) prior to vesting in one or more Shares subject to this Award, then, unless otherwise provided in the Vesting Schedule set forth above, the RSUs covering such unvested Shares will be immediately thereafter cancelled and forfeited for no consideration and the Participant shall cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled and forfeited RSUs as of the Participant’s Termination Date.


5.Adjustment in Shares. The Participant acknowledges that the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan. Should any change be made to the Company’s shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration or if there is a change in the corporate structure, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to the total number and/or class of securities and any Dividend Equivalent Rights (as defined below) issuable pursuant to this Award in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Plan.


6.Issuance of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock.


a.As soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date of any portion of the RSU (including the date (if any) on which vesting of any portion of this RSU accelerates), the Company shall issue to or on behalf of the Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for the applicable number of underlying Shares that so vested, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 7 pursuant to which the applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined below) are to be collected. In no event shall the date of settlement (meaning the date that Shares are issued) be later than thirty
(30) days after vesting. The value of Shares shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time.


b.If the Company determines that the Participant is a “specified employee,” as defined in the regulations under Section 409A of the Code, at the time of the Participant’s “separation from service,” as defined in those regulations, then any shares of Common Stock subject to the RSUs that are subject to Section 409A of the Code that otherwise would have been settled during the first six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service will instead be settled on the earliest of (i) the seventh (7th) month following the Participant’s separation from service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death following the Participant’s separation from service, unless the settlement of those shares of Common Stock are exempt from Section 409A of the Code.


c.In no event shall fractional Shares be issued.


d.Except as set forth in clause (e) below, the holder of this Award shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the RSUs until the Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance and after the satisfaction of the Tax-Related Items (as defined below).


e.As of any date that the Company pays an ordinary cash dividend on its shares of Common Stock, the Company shall credit the Participant with a dollar amount equal to (i) the per share cash dividend paid by the Company on its shares of Common Stock on such date, multiplied by (ii) the


			
	3






Exhibit 10.04



total number of RSUs (with such total number adjusted pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement and Section 2.2 of the Plan) subject to this Award that are outstanding immediately prior to the record date for that dividend (a “Dividend Equivalent Right”). Any Dividend Equivalent Rights credited pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) shall be subject to the same vesting, payment and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original RSUs to which they relate; provided, however, that the amount of any vested Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be paid in cash. No crediting of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be made pursuant to this Section 6(e) with respect to any RSUs which, immediately prior to the record date for that dividend, have either been paid pursuant to this Section 6 or terminated pursuant to Section 4.


7.Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, fringe benefit tax, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the vesting or settlement of the RSUs, accrual or payment of Dividend Equivalent Rights, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items. The Participant acknowledges that if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.


To the extent that the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award results in compensation income or wages to the Participant for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any income tax, social insurance contribution or other applicable taxes that are required in respect of this Award which arrangements include the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Shares (including previously owned Shares (which is not subject to any pledge or other security interest), net settlement, a broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable or delivered pursuant to this Award), other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate.


8.Compliance with Laws and Regulations.


a.The issuance of Shares pursuant to the RSU shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or an established market, if applicable) on which the shares of Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such issuance.


b.The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares of Common Stock hereby shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance of the shares of Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained.


9.Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and the Participant, the Participant’s assigns, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Participant’s estate and any beneficiaries designated by the Participant (subject to the restrictions on transfer as set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan).

13.Excess Shares. If the Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the date the RSU is granted, the number of Shares which may without stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then the Award shall be void with respect to those excess Shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of Shares issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.


14.No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the service of the Company (or any Parent or other Subsidiary retaining the Participant) for any period of specific duration, or be interpreted as forming or amending a service contract with the Company (or any Parent or other Subsidiary retaining the Participant), or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate the Participant’s service with the Company at any time for any reason, with or without cause.


15.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

19.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on this Award 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 the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

Should any change be made to the Company’s shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration or if there is a change in the corporate structure, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to the total number and/or class of securities and any Dividend Equivalent Rights (as defined below) issuable pursuant to this Award in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Plan.


6.Issuance of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock.


a.As soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date of any portion of the RSU (including the date (if any) on which vesting of any portion of this RSU accelerates), the Company shall issue to or on behalf of the Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for the applicable number of underlying Shares that so vested, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 7 pursuant to which the applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined below) are to be collected. In no event shall the date of settlement (meaning the date that Shares are issued) be later than thirty
(30) days after vesting. The value of Shares shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time.


b.If the Company determines that the Participant is a “specified employee,” as defined in the regulations under Section 409A of the Code, at the time of the Participant’s “separation from service,” as defined in those regulations, then any shares of Common Stock subject to the RSUs that are subject to Section 409A of the Code that otherwise would have been settled during the first six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service will instead be settled on the earliest of (i) the seventh (7th) month following the Participant’s separation from service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death following the Participant’s separation from service, unless the settlement of those shares of Common Stock are exempt from Section 409A of the Code.


c.In no event shall fractional Shares be issued.


d.Except as set forth in clause (e) below, the holder of this Award shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the RSUs until the Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance and after the satisfaction of the Tax-Related Items (as defined below).


e.As of any date that the Company pays an ordinary cash dividend on its shares of Common Stock, the Company shall credit the Participant with a dollar amount equal to (i) the per share cash dividend paid by the Company on its shares of Common Stock on such date, multiplied by (ii) the total number of RSUs (with such total number adjusted pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement and Section 2.2 of the Plan) subject to this Award that are outstanding immediately prior to the record date for that dividend (a “Dividend Equivalent Right”). Any Dividend Equivalent Rights credited pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) shall be subject to the same vesting, payment and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original RSUs to which they relate; provided, however, that the amount of any vested Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be paid in cash. No crediting of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be made pursuant to this Section 6(e) with respect to any RSUs which, immediately prior to the record date for that dividend, have either been paid pursuant to this Section 6 or terminated pursuant to Section 4.

7.Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, fringe benefit tax, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the vesting or settlement of the RSUs, accrual or payment of Dividend Equivalent Rights, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items. The Participant acknowledges that if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.


To the extent that the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award results in compensation income or wages to the Participant for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any income tax, social insurance contribution or other applicable taxes that are required in respect of this Award which arrangements include the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Shares (including previously owned Shares (which is not subject to any pledge or other security interest), net settlement, a broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable or delivered pursuant to this Award), other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate.


8.Compliance with Laws and Regulations.


a.The issuance of Shares pursuant to the RSU shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or an established market, if applicable) on which the shares of Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such issuance.


b.The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares of Common Stock hereby shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance of the shares of Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained.


9.Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and the Participant, the Participant’s assigns, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Participant’s estate and any beneficiaries designated by the Participant (subject to the restrictions on transfer as set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan).


10.Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate offices with attention to the General Counsel. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Participant shall be in writing and addressed to the Participant at the address on file with the Company. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

Exhibit 10.04

(k.)  neither the Company, the Employer nor any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement;

Further, if the Participant has received this 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.


3.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s country, the broker’s country or the country in which the Shares are listed, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and the Participant’s country, which may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell, attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company, as defined by the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdictions. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a "need to know" basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities, where third parties include fellow employees.
