5.Payment of Exercise Price.  To exercise all or a portion of this Award, you must pay the Exercise Price for each Share as set forth in the Grant Letter.  You may pay the Exercise Price in cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or postal or express money order or by any other method accepted by the Company, provided that such method of payment is permitted by applicable law at the time of exercise.  You may pay the Exercise Price by using one or more of the following methods: (i) delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company or its agent, including an undertaking to pay the Exercise Price, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company, within the typical settlement cycle for the sale of equity securities on the relevant trading market (or otherwise in accordance with Regulation T issued by the United States Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), the amount of sale proceeds with respect to the portion of the Shares to be acquired having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the sum of the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid; (ii) tendering (actually or by attestation) to the Company or its agent previously acquired Shares that have a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid; or (iii) instructing the Company to reduce the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued by such number of Shares as have in the aggregate a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not tender any form of payment or exercise this Award by any method that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, could violate any applicable law, regulation or Company policy or that is otherwise unacceptable to the Company.  You are not required to purchase all Shares subject to this Award at one time, but you must pay the full Exercise Price by a means satisfactory to the Company for all Shares that you elect to purchase before they will be delivered.  The date of exercise of a Stock Option shall be the date on which the Company receives the Exercise Price for such Stock Option.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, if this Award is scheduled to expire due to the expiration of the term on the date described in Section 4 above and the Fair Market Value of a Share on the last day of such term exceeds the Exercise Price for a Share subject to this Award, then, by accepting this Award, you agree that, unless you notify UBS Financial Services (see the contact information listed in Section 6 below) at least ten (10) business days before such expiration date that you do not wish for this Award to be exercised, you shall be treated as having instructed the Company to exercise the vested portion of this Award on the last day of such term and to pay the Exercise Price by application of the method described in (iii) above or such other method as determined by the Company, provided that such method complies with applicable law.


6.Exercise of Stock Option.  If you are entitled to exercise a Stock Option subject to this Award, you may exercise it by contacting UBS Financial Services through its web site at https://onesource.ubs.com/mnk or by calling (US) 1-855-896-9404 (Non US) 1-201-272-7647.  If someone other than you attempts to exercise Stock Options subject to this Award (for example, because the Stock Option is being exercised after your death), the Company will deliver the Shares only after determining that the person attempting to exercise Stock Options subject to this Award is your duly appointed personal representative or an individual to whom this Award has been transferred in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the Plan. The Company retains the right to replace UBS Financial Services as a provider for the Plan. You will be notified if such replacement occurs, but no amendment to this Stock Option shall be required.

provided, however, that an event described in (1) or (2) of this Section 8(ii) shall permit your termination of employment to be deemed a termination following a Change in Control only if (A) you provide written notice to the Company or Subsidiary specifying in reasonable detail the event upon which you are basing your termination within 90 days after the occurrence of such event; (B) the Company or Subsidiary fails to cure such event within 30 days after its receipt of such notice; and (C) you terminate your employment within 60 days after the expiration of such cure period. 


9.Termination of Employment Resulting From Divestiture or Outsourcing Agreement.  Notwithstanding the vesting and exercise provisions described in Section 3, and subject to the provisions of subsection (i) below, if your employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates as a result of a Divestiture or an Outsourcing Agreement, then Shares subject to this Award will vest on a pro-rata basis based on (A) the number of whole months completed from Grant Date through your Termination of Employment date divided by 48 times (B) the total number of Shares subject to this Award minus (C) the number of Shares subject to this Award that previously vested.  If you are entitled to pro rata vesting under this Section 9 as a result of a Divestiture, then you will be entitled to exercise the vested portion of this Award until the earlier of (1) the date described in Section 4 or (2) 90 days after your Termination of Employment date. If you are entitled to pro rata vesting under this Section 9 as a result of an Outsourcing, then you will be entitled to exercise the vested portion of this Award until the earlier of (1) the date described in Section 4 or (2) the third anniversary of your Termination of Employment date.


(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, you shall not be eligible for pro-rata vesting and an extended Award exercise date if (A) your Termination of Employment occurs on or prior to the closing date of a Divestiture or such later date as is provided specifically in the applicable transaction agreement or related agreements, or on the effective date of an Outsourcing Agreement (the “Applicable Employment Date”), and (B) you are offered Comparable Employment with the buyer, successor company or Outsourcing Agent, as applicable, but do not commence such employment on the Applicable Employment Date.

transfers the performance of services previously performed by Company or Subsidiary employees to the Outsourcing Agent, and (2) the Outsourcing Agreement includes an obligation of the Outsourcing Agent to offer employment to any employee whose employment is being terminated as a result of or in connection with said Outsourcing Agreement.


10.Withholdings.  The Company has the right, prior to the issuance or delivery of any Shares in connection with the exercise of all or a portion of this Award, to withhold or require from you the amount necessary to satisfy applicable tax requirements (e.g., income tax, social insurance, payroll tax and payment on account), as determined by the Company.  The methods described in Section 5 may also be used by you to pay, or by the Company to satisfy, your withholding tax obligation, provided that the use of such method for this purpose complies with Company policy and applicable law.  If, at any time after the Grant Date, you become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Company may be required to withhold or account for applicable tax requirements in the various jurisdictions.  By accepting this Award, you authorize the Company or any Subsidiary to satisfy applicable tax or tax withholding requirements by: (i) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation payable to you; (ii) withholding from any proceeds resulting from the sale of Shares subject to this Award either through an exercise and voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company on your behalf and pursuant to this authorization; (iii) redemption by the Company at Fair Market Value of Shares due to you following the exercise of Shares subject to this Award; or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) or (iii) above.  If the Company or any Subsidiary cannot withhold or account for all taxes associated with this Award by application of the means described herein, then, by accepting this Award, you agree that you will pay to the Company or any Subsidiary all amounts necessary to satisfy applicable tax requirements and acknowledge that the Company may refuse to issue or deliver Shares subject to this Award, or the proceeds from the sale of such Shares, if you do not comply with this obligation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transfer of this Award may be delayed or prohibited if, in the sole discretion of the Company’s Vice President and Corporate Secretary, such transfer would violate, or would have the potential to violate, applicable law, regulation or Company policy.  If this Award is transferred pursuant to this provision, it will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that applied immediately prior to the transfer.  This Award may be exercised by the transferee only to the same extent that you could have exercised this Award had no transfer occurred.


12.Forfeiture of Award.  You will forfeit all or a portion of the Shares subject to this Award if your employment terminates under the circumstances described below:

Also, by accepting this Award, you agree and promise to deliver to the Company immediately upon the date the Committee determines that you could have been terminated for Cause, Shares (or, in the discretion of the Company, cash) equal in value to the amount of all profits you realized upon the exercise of any portion of this Award during the period that begins 12 months immediately before your Termination of Employment and ends on the date that the Committee determines that you could have been terminated for Cause.


(iii)If the Committee determines in its sole discretion that at any time after your Termination of Employment and prior to the first anniversary of your Termination of Employment you (A) disclosed confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or any Subsidiary or (B) entered into an employment or consultation arrangement (including any arrangement for employment or service as an agent, partner, stockholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in a business and (1) such employment or consultation arrangement would likely (in the Committee’s sole discretion) result in the disclosure of confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or any Subsidiary to a business that is competitive with any Company or Subsidiary business as to which you had access to strategic or confidential information and (2) the Committee has not approved the arrangement in writing, then the Company will immediately rescind all unexercised portions of this Award (whether vested or unvested) and you will forfeit all rights you have with respect to this Award.

You further agree that this Award, and your Plan participation, do not form, and will not be interpreted as forming, an employment contract or guarantee of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.  The Company, in its sole discretion, voluntarily established the Plan and may amend or terminate it at any time pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

By accepting this Award, you also acknowledge that this Award and any gains received hereunder are extraordinary items and are not considered part of your salary or compensation for purposes of any pension or retirement benefits or for purposes of calculating any termination, severance, redundancy, resignation, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, life or accident insurance benefits or similar payments.

20.Limitations.  Nothing in these Terms and Conditions or the Plan grants to you any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or to interfere in any way with the Company or Subsidiary’s right to terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, subject to applicable law.  Payment of Shares is not secured by a trust, insurance contract or other funding medium, and you do not have any interest in any fund or specific Company or Subsidiary asset by reason of this Award.  You have no rights as a stockholder of the Company pursuant to this Award until Shares are actually delivered to you.


21.Entire Agreement and Amendment.  These Terms and Conditions, the Grant Letter, the Plan, and other Company policies specifically referred to herein constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Award.  These Terms and Conditions supersede any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this Award.
