Terms and Conditions of RSU Grant


 


		1.	GRANT
                                            OF RSUs. The RSUs have been granted to the Participant in replacement of the Former LTIP
                                            Award, as an incentive for the Participant to continue to provide services to the Company
                                            and its Affiliates, including the Affiliate employing the Participant (the “Employer”),
                                            and to align the Participant’s interests with those of the Company. Each RSU corresponds
                                            to one Share. Each RSU constitutes a contingent and unsecured promise by the Company to deliver
                                            one Share on the settlement date, as set forth in Section ‎‎‎3.



 


		2.	VESTING;
                                            FORFEITURE. The RSUs shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, subject to the
                                            Participant’s continuous service with the Company and its Affiliates through the applicable
                                            vesting date. All unvested RSUs shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s
                                            Termination of Service for any reason; provided, however, that upon a Participant’s
                                            Termination of Service due to his or her death or Disability (as defined below), the RSUs
                                            shall be deemed to be vested as of the date of the Termination of Service. All RSUs, whether
                                            vested or unvested, shall be immediately forfeited upon (i) the Participant’s Termination
                                            of Service due to the Participant’s termination by the Company or its Affiliates for
                                            Cause (as defined below), (ii) the Committee’s determination in good faith that the
                                            Participant committed any act for which he or she could have been terminated for Cause or
                                            (iii) the Participant’s breach of any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality
                                            or invention assignment covenants to which the Participant is subject with respect to WSP
                                            LLC or any of its Affiliates ((i) through (iii) each, a “Forfeiture Event”).
                                            In addition, if a Forfeiture Event occurs within one year following [●],
                                            the Participant shall, within 30 days following the Participant’s receipt of written
                                            notice from the Company, repay to the Company any Shares or other consideration received
                                            in respect of any settled RSUs. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Agreement,
                                            a Participant will not be considered to be continuously and actively employed with the Employer
                                            (or an Affiliate) once he or she has stopped providing services, notwithstanding any notice
                                            period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden
                                            leave” or similar period pursuant to local law), unless otherwise determined by the
                                            Employer on a country-by-country basis. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability”
                                            means that the Participant is by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental
                                            impairment that can be expected to result in death or last for a continues period of not
                                            less than twelve (12) months either (x) unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity,
                                            or (y) receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months
                                            under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Employer. The determination of
                                            whether or not the Participant’s termination is due to “Disability” will
                                            be determined by the Committee. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause”
                                            means (i) the Participant’s commission of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude,
                                            (ii) the Participant’s commission of an act which violates the policies of the Employer
                                            on discrimination, harassment, and conflicts of interest, or repeated violation of any other
                                            material employment policy, (iii) the Participant’s commission of any act or omission
                                            involving dishonesty, disloyalty or fraud with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries or
                                            other Affiliates or any of their respective customers or suppliers, (iv) conduct by the Participant
                                            intentionally disparaging the Company or its Affiliates or tending to bring the Company or
                                            its Affiliates into substantial public disgrace or disrepute, (v) repeated failure by the
                                            Participant to substantially perform his or her duties for the Employer as reasonably directed
                                            by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or (vi) gross negligence or willful
                                            misconduct with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate.

		3.	SETTLEMENT.
                                            Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, the RSUs will be settled in Shares, and the Participant
                                            shall receive the number of Shares that corresponds to the number of RSUs that have become
                                            vested as of the applicable vesting date, which Shares shall be delivered in accordance with
                                            the schedule set forth on Attachment A hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
                                            Committee determines in its sole discretion that, for regulatory reasons, it is administratively
                                            impractical to settle the RSUs in Shares, the RSUs shall instead be settled in cash.



 


		4.	DIVIDEND
                                            EQUIVALENT PAYMENTS. For the period immediately following the vesting of any RSUs until
                                            the date that such vested RSUs settle in Shares, if the Company pays a dividend on Shares,
                                            the Participant will be entitled to a payment in the same amount as the dividend the Participant
                                            would have received if he or she held Shares in respect of his or her vested RSUs held but
                                            not previously forfeited immediately prior to the record date of the dividend (a “Dividend
                                            Equivalent”). No such Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Participant with
                                            respect to any RSU that is thereafter cancelled or forfeited prior to the applicable settlement
                                            date. The Committee will determine the form of payment in its sole discretion and may pay
                                            Dividend Equivalents in Shares, cash or a combination thereof. The Company will pay the Dividend
                                            Equivalents at the same time as any corresponding dividends are paid to shareholders of the
                                            Company.



 


		5.	NONTRANSFERABILITY.
                                            No portion of the RSUs may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated, or pledged
                                            by the Participant, other than to the Company as a result of forfeiture of the RSUs as provided
                                            herein, unless and until payment is made in respect of vested RSUs in accordance with the
                                            provisions hereof and the Participant has become the holder of record of the vested Shares
                                            issuable hereunder, unless otherwise provided by the Committee.



 


		6.	TAX
                                            AND WITHHOLDING. Pursuant to rules and procedures that the Company or the Employer establishes,
                                            federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax or other withholding obligations arising
                                            upon settlement of the RSUs may be satisfied, in the Committee’s sole discretion, by
                                            having the Company or the Employer withhold Shares, by having the Participant tender Shares
                                            or by having the Company or the Employer withhold cash if the Company provides for a cash
                                            withholding option, in each case in an amount sufficient to satisfy the tax or other withholding
                                            obligations. Shares withheld or tendered will be valued using the Fair Market Value of the
                                            Shares on the date the RSUs are settled. Any withholding or tendering of Shares shall comply
                                            with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification,
                                            Topic 718, and any withholding satisfied through a net-settlement of the RSUs shall be limited
                                            to the maximum statutory withholding requirements. The Participant acknowledges that, if
                                            he or she is subject to taxes in more than one jurisdiction, the Company or the Employer
                                            may be required to withhold or account for taxes in more than one jurisdiction.



 


		7.	RIGHTS
                                            AS STOCKHOLDER. The Participant will not have any rights as a stockholder in the Shares
                                            corresponding to the RSUs prior to settlement of the RSUs.







 


		8.	SECURITIES
                                            LAW COMPLIANCE. The Company may, if it determines it is appropriate, affix any legend
                                            to the stock certificates representing Shares issued upon settlement of the RSUs and any
                                            stock certificates that may subsequently be issued in substitution for the original certificates.
                                            The Company may advise the transfer agent to place a stop order against such Shares if it
                                            determines that such an order is necessary or advisable.



 


		9.	COMPLIANCE
                                            WITH LAW. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, mortgage, encumbrance or other disposition
                                            of Shares issued upon settlement of the RSUs (whether directly or indirectly, whether or
                                            not for value and whether or not voluntary) must be made in compliance with any applicable
                                            constitution, rule, regulation or policy of any of the exchanges, associations or other institutions
                                            with which the Company has membership or other privileges, and any applicable law, or applicable
                                            rule or regulation of any governmental agency, self-regulatory organization or state or federal
                                            regulatory body.

		10.	MISCELLANEOUS.



 


		(a)	No
                                            Right To Continued Employment or Service. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant
                                            any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate, including
                                            the Employer, or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in this Agreement
                                            or the Plan nor interfere with or limit the right of the Company or an Affiliate, including
                                            the Employer, to modify the terms of or terminate the Participant’s employment or service
                                            at any time.



 


		(b)	No
                                            Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice,
                                            nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation
                                            in the Plan or acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant is hereby advised
                                            to 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 or the RSUs.



 


		(c)	Cancellation/Clawback.
                                            The Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant and the RSUs are subject
                                            to the terms and conditions of Section 18 of the Plan (regarding reduction, cancellation,
                                            forfeiture or recoupment of Awards upon the occurrence of certain specified events).



 


		(d)	Plan
                                            to Govern. This Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to
                                            all of the terms and conditions of the Plan as the same may be amended from time to time,
                                            as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for the administration
                                            of the Plan.

                                            modify or amend this Agreement or the Plan. Subject to the Company’s rights pursuant
                                            to Sections 5(c), 14 and 19 of the Plan, no amendment of the Plan or this Agreement may,
                                            without the consent of the Participant, adversely affect the rights of the Participant in
                                            a material manner with respect to the RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement.
