	Effect of Termination of Employment; Approved Termination; Change in Control; Recoupment and Forfeiture.


(a)    Age 62 or Older Other than for Cause, death or Disability with at least 10 Years of Service; Approved Termination. If:
(i)    the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated after the end of Fiscal Year 2021 and during Fiscal Year 2022 or Fiscal Year 2023 at age 62 or older for no reason, or for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability, and the Employee shall have been (or for any other purpose shall have been treated as if he or she had been) a continuous employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries for at least 10 years immediately prior to the date of termination of employment status; or
(ii)    the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated at any time on or before the end of Fiscal Year 2023 and such termination is specifically approved by the Committee for purposes of this Section 3(a),
then the Company shall settle a fraction of the RSUs that otherwise would settle in accordance with Section 2 and Appendix C of this Agreement on the Scheduled Settlement Date. This fraction will be determined by calculating the number of full months of continuous service with the Company or its Subsidiaries that the Employee has completed since the Grant Date and then dividing this number by 36. If the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates pursuant to this Section 3(a) after the end of Fiscal Year 2023, then the Company shall settle the RSUs in accordance with Section 2 and Appendix C of this Agreement, without pro-ration, on the Scheduled Settlement Date.
(b)    Death or Disability.
(i)    If, on or before the end of Fiscal Year 2023, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the death or Disability of the Employee, then, one calendar month after the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries is terminated (the “Employment Termination Date”) the Company shall settle the RSUs in full by delivering a pro-rated amount of 100% of the Target Units, with such pro-ration based on the Employee’s period of service during the Performance Period.
(ii)    If, after the end of Fiscal Year 2023 and prior to the Scheduled Settlement Date, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the death or Disability of the Employee, then the Company shall settle the RSUs in accordance with Section 2 and Appendix C of this Agreement, without pro-ration, as soon as practicable after the Employment Termination Date, but in no event later than the Scheduled Settlement Date.
(iii)    If settlement is by reason of termination due to death, settlement shall be to the beneficiary designated by the Employee for such purpose.
(c)    Cancellation of RSUs upon Other Termination of Employment.  If, on or before the end of Fiscal Year 2023, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (or no reason), other than pursuant to Section 3(a) or (b) hereof, then the RSUs and all related Dividend Equivalents shall automatically be cancelled as of the close of business on the Employment Termination Date. If the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (or no reason), other than pursuant to Section 3(a) or (b) hereof, after the end of Fiscal Year 2023, then the Company shall settle the RSUs in accordance with Section 2 and Appendix C of this Agreement on the Scheduled Settlement Date.
(d)    Change in Control.
(i)    Upon a Change in Control that occurs on or before the end of Fiscal Year 2023 while Employee is employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries, 100% of the Target Units shall, subject to Section 18 of the Plan, vest and be settled in accordance with the following terms of this Section 3(d)(i), without regard to Section 2 or Appendix C hereof. Following the Change in Control, the RSUs shall vest based solely on the passage of time and the Employee’s continued employment with the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) and its Subsidiaries as follows: (x) if the Change in Control happens on or before the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the RSUs shall vest in substantially equal thirds on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date; (y) if the Change in Control happens after the first anniversary of the Grant Date but on or before the second anniversary of the Grant Date, the RSUs shall vest in substantially equal halves on the second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date; and (z) if the Change in Control happens after the second anniversary of the Grant Date, the RSUs shall vest in their entirety on the third anniversary of the Grant Date. The RSUs shall be subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if, on or within two (2) years after the date of the Change in Control and prior to when the RSUs have vested in full, the Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination Without Cause, or the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated as a result of the Employee’s death or Disability or pursuant to Section 3(a) above, then the RSUs shall automatically vest in full as of the Employment Termination Date. Settlement of any RSUs (and any related Dividend Equivalents) that vest pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i) shall occur on or as soon as administratively practicable (but, subject to Section 19 below, in no event later than 2.5 months) after the applicable vesting date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a “Qualifying Termination Without Cause” shall mean the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) or any of its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company without Cause at a time when the Employee is meeting performance expectations, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
(ii)    Upon a Change in Control that occurs after the end of Fiscal Year 2023 and prior to the Scheduled Settlement Date, the Company shall settle the RSUs in accordance with Section 2 and Appendix C of this Agreement, without pro ration, as soon as practicable after the Change in Control, but in no event later than the Scheduled Settlement Date
(e)    Recoupment and Forfeiture. Settlement of all or a portion of the Award pursuant to this Section 3 is subject to the forfeiture provisions of this Section 3. Settlement of all or a portion of the Award is subject to recoupment by the Company pursuant to Section 5.
(f)    Leave of Absence. If the Employee is granted a leave of absence (including a military leave of absence), the Employee and the Company each reasonably anticipate that the Employee will return to active employment and either (x) the leave of absence is to be for not more than six months or (y) at all times during the leave of absence the Employee has a statutory or contractual right to return to work, then for purposes of this Award: (i) while on leave of absence the Employee shall be treated as if he were an active employee; (ii) if the Employee’s leave of absence is terminated and the Employee does not timely return to active employment, the date of the end of the leave of absence shall be treated as the Employment Termination Date; (iii) if the Employee’s leave of absence is terminated and the Employee timely returns to active employment, he shall be treated as if active employment had continued uninterrupted during the leave of absence; and (iv) if the Employee’s leave of absence continues to the Scheduled Settlement Date or any other date for settlement of the RSUs as provided under this Award, any RSUs which the Employee would otherwise be entitled to receive if he were an active employee shall be settled on such date.
		
	4.
	Withholding and Taxes.


(a)    If the Company and/or the Employer are obligated to withhold an amount on account of any federal, state or local tax imposed as a result of the grant or settlement of the RSUs pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”), including, without limitation, any federal, state or other income tax, or any F.I.C.A., state disability insurance tax or other employment tax (the date upon which the Company and/or the Employer becomes so obligated shall be referred to herein as the “Withholding Date”), then the Employee shall pay to the Company on the Withholding Date, the aggregate amount that the Company and the Employer are so obligated to withhold, as such amount shall be determined by the Company (the “Withholding Liability”), which payment shall be made by the automatic cancellation by the Company of a portion of the RSU Shares; provided that the Company is not then prohibited from purchasing or acquiring such shares of Common Stock (such shares to be valued on the basis of the aggregate Fair Market Value thereof on the Withholding Date, plus the value of the Dividend Equivalents associated with such shares on the Withholding Date); and provided further that the RSU Shares to be cancelled shall be those that would otherwise have been delivered to the Employee the soonest upon settlement of the RSUs; and provided further, however, that the Employee may, on or before the Withholding Date, irrevocably elect to instead pay to the Company, by check or wire transfer delivered or made within one business day after the Withholding Date, an amount equal to or greater than the Withholding Liability.
(b)    The Employee acknowledges that neither the Company nor the Employer has made any representation or given any advice to the Employee with respect to Taxes.
		
	5.
	Recoupment and Forfeiture – Detrimental Activity.


(a)    Refund of Stock Value. If the Employee engages in Detrimental Activity (as defined below in Section 5(c)) during the time periods set forth in each provision of Section 5(c), then, if the RSUs were settled within the one year period prior to the occurrence of such event, the Employee shall immediately deliver to the Company an amount in cash equal to the (i) aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of such Settlement Date, of all RSU Shares which were delivered to the Employee or cancelled in payment of Taxes on such Settlement Date and (ii) Dividend Equivalents paid to the Employee in respect of those RSU Shares.
(b)    Forfeiture of RSUs. If the Employee engages in Detrimental Activity prior to the final Settlement Date for the RSUs, the RSUs and all related Dividend Equivalents shall be terminated and forfeited.
(c)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Detrimental Activity” shall mean any of the following:
(i)    engaging, directly or indirectly, in any business activity (A) competitive with the activity of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, or (B) in conflict with the interests of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries during the term of employment and a period of two years thereafter;
(ii)    at any time willfully disclosing, other than in the course of the business of Company and/or its Subsidiares, to any third party trade secret or other confidential material or information belonging to the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries;
(iii)    at any time failing to abide by Employee’s contractual obligations to assign all intellectual property to the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries;
(iv)    failing to abide by any other contractual obligations to the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, as set forth in those contracts (including Section 6 below), including (A) obligations not to solicit employees of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries to perform services for others, and (B) obligations not to solicit business from clients, vendors or business partners of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries;
(v)    engaging during the term of employment in any action that warrants or results in termination of Employee’s employment for “Cause,” as defined in Appendix A;
(vi)    any other willful action determined by the Company to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any of the interests of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries during the term of employment and a period of two years thereafter.
(d)    State-Specific Exclusions. To the extent the Employee primarily resides and works in California, Oklahoma or Nebraska, Section 5(c)(i) of the definition of Detrimental Conduct shall not apply. In addition, to the extent the Employee primarily resides and works in California, the Employee will have the right to modify Section 5 and choose the application of California law to Section 5 of this Agreement in accordance with California Labor Code §925. If this occurs, then Section 5(c)(iv) of the definition of Detrimental Activity shall be deemed modified so that it only prohibits conduct by the Employee that involves the misappropriation of a trade secret of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries shall continue to retain all of their rights in trade secrets and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed eliminate, reduce or adversely affect the rights that the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries would otherwise have related to the protection of their trade secrets absent this Agreement. 
(e)    As an additional condition of receiving this Award, the Employee agrees and acknowledges that the Award shall be subject to repayment to the Company in whole or in part in the event of a financial restatement or in such other circumstances as may be required by applicable law or as may be provided in any clawback policy that is adopted by the Company and applicable to the Employee.
		
	6.
	Employee Covenants.


(a)    Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of Confidential Information. The Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries shall provide the Employee with access to Confidential Information in the course of performance of the Employee’s duties. Except for in performance of the Employee’s duties for the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, the Employee agrees not to disclose, use, copy, take, download, upload, duplicate or otherwise permit the use, disclosure, copying, taking, downloading, uploading, or duplication of any Confidential Information during or following his/her employment with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries. The Employee agrees to take all reasonable steps and precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure, use, copying or duplication of Confidential Information. The Employee shall promptly report to the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries any actual or suspected violation of confidentiality obligations toward the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and will take all reasonable further steps requested by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries to prevent, control or remedy any such violation. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee shall have no ownership or privacy interest in materials or information that is stored on or transmitted using property or equipment or rights leased, licensed or owned by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, even if the Employee claims an ownership or privacy interest in such materials or information. The Employee agrees that to any extent that the Employee uses the Company’s and/or any of its Subsidiaries’ resources for such materials and information, the Employee forfeits any privacy and ownership interest in them and agrees that they shall be subject to ownership, access, use and disclosure by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries at any time without notice to or further consent of the Employee.
(b)    Non-Solicitation of the Company’s Employees, Clients, and Prospective Clients. In exchange for the Company’s provision to the Employee of the good and valuable consideration set forth above, during the Non-Solicitation Period, the Employee shall not, without the express, prior written consent of DXC’s General Counsel, engage, in the Restricted Area, in any of the conduct described below, either directly or indirectly, individually or as an employee, agent, contractor, consultant, member, partner, officer, director or stockholder (other than as a stockholder of less than 5% of the equities of a publicly held corporation) or in any other capacity for any person, firm, partnership or corporation other than the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries: 
(i)    solicit (or contact in any manner which could reasonably be construed as solicitation), hire or employ, attempt to hire or employ, retain as or attempt to retain as a consultant or an independent contractor, any current employee of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries or any person who was an employee of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries within the 6-month period preceding such solicitation, contact, hiring or employment, or attempted hiring or employment;
(ii)    solicit (or contact in any manner which could reasonably be construed as solicitation) any Client or Prospective Client for the purpose of selling or providing solutions, products and/or services competitive with Services provided by or offered by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, or divert or cause a reduction in the business between the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Client or Prospective Client. The Employee understands and acknowledges, however, that this non-solicitation obligation shall not apply if (i) the Client or Prospective Client chose to seek such Services from the Employee without the Employee having taken any steps to solicit its business, and (ii) the Employee has otherwise complied with the restrictive covenants set forth herein; or
(iii)    solicit or communicate with any vendor, supplier, subcontractor, or partner of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries with which the Employee worked or about which the Employee received Confidential Information, at any time during the 12-month period preceding the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, for the purpose of persuading or assisting such vendor, supplier, subcontractor, or partner to terminate, or modify to the detriment of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, any business relationship with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries. 
(c)    (i)    Non-Competition. In exchange for the Company’s provision to the Employee of the good and valuable consideration set forth above, during the Non-Competition Period, the Employee shall not, without the express, prior written consent of DXC’s General Counsel, in the Restricted Area, either directly or indirectly, individually or as an employee, agent, contractor, consultant, member, partner, officer, director or stockholder (other than as a stockholder of less than 5% of the equities of a publicly held corporation) or in any other capacity for any person, firm, partnership or corporation other than the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, provide Restricted Services for or on behalf of a Competitor.
(i)    Non-Competition Restriction in the Event of a Reduction in Force. In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries due to a reduction in force, reorganization or similar type of restructuring, the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries may choose to enforce the provisions of Section 6(c)(i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, including by providing the Employee additional salary, benefits, or severance pay (collectively “Severance Pay”) during the Non-Competition Period. If the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries choose to make such an offer of Severance Pay, they may, in their discretion, condition the Employee’s receipt of Severance Pay on the Employee’s execution of a release of claims against the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries.
(d)    State-Specific Exclusions. To the extent the Employee primarily resides and works in California, Oklahoma or Nebraska, the Employee will not be subject to the terms of Section 6(c). In addition, to the extent the Employee primarily resides and works in California, the Employee will have the right to modify Section 6 as set forth in this paragraph and choose the application of California law to Section 6 of this Agreement in accordance with California Labor Code §925. If this occurs, then the restrictions in Section 6(b) shall be deemed modified so that they only prohibit conduct by the Employee that involves the misappropriation of a trade secret of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries.
(e)    Notice of Post-Employment Activities. If the Employee accepts a position with a Competitor at any time within twenty-four months following termination of employment with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, the Employee must promptly give written notice to the senior Human Resources manager for the business sector in which the Employee worked, with a copy to DXC's General Counsel, and must provide DXC with the information it needs about the Employee’s new position to determine whether such position would likely lead to a violation of this Agreement (except that the Employee need not provide any information that would include the Competitor's confidential information or trade secrets). The Employee consents to the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries notifying his or her new employer of the Employee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
(f)    Compliance with Defend Trade Secrets Act. The Employee acknowledges that he or she is hereby notified that, in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, 18 U.S.C. § 1833, the Employee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If the Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation against the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Employee may disclose the trade secrets of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries to the Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Employee files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
(g)    Inventions. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that as a function of the Employee’s employment with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, the Employee may solely or jointly conceive, develop, reduce to practice or otherwise produce inventions, software, computer programs, algorithms, source code, discoveries, know-how, innovations, enhancements, designs, developments, improvements, techniques, technology, concepts, methods, processes, ideas, trade secrets and other forms of intellectual property and works of authorship, whether or not any of the foregoing constitute trade secrets, and whether or not eligible for copyright, trademark and patent protection (collectively “Inventions”). The Employee shall make prompt and full disclosure to the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, shall hold in trust for the sole benefit of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, and hereby assigns exclusively to the Company without additional compensation or consideration to the Employee all the Employee’s rights, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions that the Employee solely or jointly may conceive, develop, reduce to practice or otherwise produce during the Employee’s employment with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all patent rights, copyright rights, trade secret rights, and all other intellectual property rights therein. The Employee waives and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims of any nature whatsoever that the Employee now or hereafter may have for infringement of any patent or other intellectual property right relating to any Invention so assigned to the Company. The Employee agrees to perform all actions reasonably requested by the Company to establish and confirm the Company’s ownership of Inventions, including, without limitation, signing and delivering to the Company (during and after employment) any other documents that the Company considers desirable to provide evidence of (a) the assignment of all rights of the Employee, if any, in any Inventions and (b) the Company ‘s ownership of such Inventions. If the Company is unable to secure the Employee’s signature on any document necessary to apply for, prosecute or obtain or enforce any patent, copyright, or other right or protection relating to any Invention, whether due to the Employee’s mental or physical incapacity or any other cause, the Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as the Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in the Employee’s behalf to execute and file any such document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance and enforcement of patents, copyrights, or other rights or protections, with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by the Employee. The Employee will assist the Company in applying for, prosecuting, obtaining, or enforcing any patent, copyright, or other right or protection relating to any Invention, all at the Company’s expense but without compensation to the Employee in excess of the Employee’s salary or wages. If the Company requires any assistance after termination of the Employee’s employment, the Employee will be compensated for time actually spent in providing that assistance at an hourly rate equivalent to the Employee’s salary or wages during the last period of employment with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee’s assignment of Inventions to the Company by way of this Section shall not apply to any Invention that: (i) was completely developed and reduced to practice entirely by the Employee prior to employment with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries without using any equipment, supplies, facilities, services, or Confidential Information of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) does not relate to the business of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) does not result from any work performed by the Employee for the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) qualifies as an invention under applicable law in the Employee’s state of domicile. The Employee has been given the opportunity to set forth, on the form set forth as Appendix D, a list describing all such Inventions that (x) the Employee wishes to have excluded from this Agreement, and (b) have arisen since the last time (if any) that the Employee signed a transfer of rights agreement in favor of the Company. If the Employee has completed Appendix D, the Employee must promptly sign it (as indicated) and send the form to the Stock Plan Administration (“SPA”) department. If no such form is sent to SPA, the Employee represents that there are no such Inventions. The parties acknowledge that the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries may not necessarily agree with all of the Employee’s assertions of ownership and reserves the right to review and make its own determinations regarding same. As to any Invention in which the Employee has an interest at any time prior to or during the Employee’s employment with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, if the Employee uses or incorporates such an Invention in any released or unreleased product, service, program, process, machine, development or work in progress of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, or if the Employee permits the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to use or incorporate such an Invention, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries shall be granted and shall have an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to exercise any and all rights with respect to such Invention, including the right to protect, make, have made, use, sell, copy, disclose, modify, prepare derivative works of that Invention without restriction and the right to sublicense those rights to others.
(h)    Copyrights. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that any and all copyrightable works prepared by him or her within the scope of the Employee’s employment by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and/or its predecessors in interest shall be works made for hire, that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries shall own all rights under copyright in and to such works, and that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries shall be considered the author of all such works. If and to the extent that any jurisdiction should fail to deem any such work to be a work made for hire owned by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, the Employee hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries all rights, title and interest in and to such work, including the right to sue, counterclaim and recover for all past, present and future infringement, misappropriation or dilution thereof, oral rights, and all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world. To the extent moral rights may not be assigned, the Employee hereby waives the benefit or protection of same, and waives all rights under the Visual Artists Rights Act.
(i)    Injunctive Relief and Damages.
(i)    Injunctive Relief. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that if the Employee were to breach, or threaten to breach, any of the covenants set forth in Section 6 hereof, the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries would suffer immediate and irreparable harm and would therefore be entitled to specific performance through equitable relief, including injunctive relief, ordered by a court of appropriate jurisdiction, without the need to post any bond. The Employee therefore consents and stipulates to the entry of such injunctive relief in an appropriate court prohibiting the Employee from breaching this Agreement.
(ii)    Damages. Nothing in this Section shall diminish the right of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries to claim and recover money damages, including the value and return of equity as provided in Section 6, in addition to injunctive relief or any other remedy provided by law or under this Agreement.
(j)    Effect on Other Rights and Remedies. The rights of the Company set forth in this Section 6 shall not limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies which the Company or any of its affiliates may have under law or under any separate employment, confidentiality or other agreement with the Employee or otherwise with respect to the events described in Section 6 hereof.
(k)    Reasonableness, Reformation and Revival. The Employee agrees that the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of the Company. The Employee further agrees that if the Employee violates the provisions of Sections 6(b) or 6(c) of this Agreement (if applicable) that the number of days that the Employee is in violation will be added to any periods of limitation on the activities specified herein.  However, if the scope of any provision contained in Section 6 is too broad to permit enforcement of such provision to its full extent, then the Company and the Employee agree that, in accordance with Nevada law, the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court shall revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law, and enforce this Agreement as reformed or modified. Subject to the provisions of the foregoing sentence, whenever possible, each provision of this this Section 6 will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Section 6 is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision, to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement, and shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The Employee specifically agrees that each provision and subsection of Section 6 is independent of and severable from the others, and may be enforced independently, which shall, as applicable, continue in full force and effect after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

	Registration of Units.


The Employee’s right to receive the RSU Shares shall be evidenced by book entry (or by such other manner as the Committee may determine).
		
	8.
	Certain Corporate Transactions.


In the event that the outstanding securities of any class then comprising the RSU Shares are increased, decreased or exchanged for or converted into cash, property and/or a different number or kind of securities, or cash, property and/or securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding securities, in either case as a result of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, dividend (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend) or other distribution, stock split, reverse stock split or the like, then, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, the term “RSU Shares,” as used in this Agreement, shall, from and after the date of such event, include such cash, property and/or securities so distributed in respect of the RSU Shares, or into or for which the RSU Shares are so increased, decreased, exchanged or converted.
		
	9.
	Shareholder Rights.


The Employee shall have no rights of a shareholder with respect to RSU Shares subject to this Award unless and until such time as the Award has been settled by the transfer of shares of Common Stock to the Employee.
		
	10.
	Assignment of Award.


Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, the Employee’s rights under the Plan and this Agreement are personal; no assignment or transfer of the Employee’s rights under and interest in this Award may be made by the Employee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
		
	11.

(b)    the Company grants RSUs voluntarily and on an occasional basis, and the receipt of the RSUs by the Employee does not create any contractual or other right to receive any future grant of RSUs, or any benefits in lieu of a grant of RSUs; 
(c)    all decisions with respect to future grants of RSUs by the Company will be made in the sole discretion of the Company; 
(d)    the Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; and

Any action, suit or proceeding to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to resolve any dispute or controversy arising under or in any way relating to this Agreement, shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts in the State of Nevada, United States of America, and the parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to venue in such courts, whether on the basis of the doctrine of “forum non conveniens” or otherwise. If the Employee has received this or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English, and the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
		
	18.
	Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waivers.


This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not stated or incorporated by reference herein, shall bind either party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Employee and the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries be parties to another agreement with provisions regarding confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation of clients, prospective clients or employees, and all related definitions thereof, or any other restrictive covenants included in this Agreement, such similar provisions of any other such agreement shall remain in full force and effect. None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or canceled except by a writing, signed by the parties hereto specifying such amendment, modification, waiver or cancellation. A waiver by either party at any time of compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be considered a modification, cancellation or consent to a future waiver of such terms and conditions or of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, unless expressly so stated. Any failure or delay on the part of either party to exercise any remedy or right under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver. The failure of either party to require performance of any of the terms, covenants, or provisions of this Agreement by the other party shall not constitute a waiver of any of the rights under the Agreement. No forbearance by either party to exercise any rights or privileges under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver, but all rights and privileges shall continue in effect as if no forbearance had occurred. No covenant or condition of this Agreement may be waived except by the written consent of the waiving party.
		
	19.
	Section 409A Compliance.


Payments under this Agreement are designed to be made in a manner that is exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) as a “short-term deferral,” and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted, or construed).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, upon the advice of its counsel, the Company determines that the settlement of an RSU Share pursuant to this Agreement is or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A (“409A Taxes”) as applicable at the time such settlement is otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payment may be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid 409A Taxes. In particular:
(a)    if the Employee is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations, such settlement shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Employee’s separation from service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A (the “Settlement Delay Period”); and
(b)    if all or any part of such RSU Share has been converted into cash pursuant to Section 8 hereof, then:
(i)    upon settlement of such RSU Share, such cash shall be increased by an amount equal to interest thereon for the Settlement Delay Period at a rate equal to the default rate credited to amounts deferred under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan; provided, however, that such rate shall be calculated on a monthly average basis rather than a daily basis; and
(ii)    the Company shall fund the payment of such cash to the Employee upon settlement of such RSU Share, including the interest to be paid with respect thereto (collectively, the “Delayed Cash Payment”), by establishing and irrevocably funding a trust for the benefit of the Employee, but only if the establishment of such trust does not result in any taxes or penalties becoming due under Section 409A(b). Such trust shall be a grantor trust described in Section 671 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and intended not to cause tax to be incurred by the Employee until amounts are paid out from the trust to the Employee. The trust shall provide for distribution of amounts to the Employee in order to pay taxes, if any, that become due on the amounts as to which payment is being delayed during the Settlement Delay Period pursuant to this Section 19, but only to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code without the imposition of 409A Taxes. The establishment and funding of such trust shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the Delayed Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 19.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the Grant Date.
