AMECURRENT 741065166.2 6-May-21 16:53






Participant’s country. Further, if the Participant transfers residence and/or employment to another country reflected in the Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such special terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate Participant’s transfer).

12.Governing Law.  The validity, construction and effect of this Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois and applicable federal law.
13.Amendments.  The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, and the Committee may amend this Award Agreement, provided that, except as provided in the Plan, no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely affect the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under this Award Agreement prior to the date such amendment or termination is adopted by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be.  
14.Award Not Contract of Employment.  The Award does not constitute a contract of employment or continued service, and the grant of the Award shall not give the Participant the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan or this Award Agreement, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement.

The Award shall not be funded, no trust, escrow or other provisions shall be established to secure payments and distributions due hereunder and this Award shall be regarded as unfunded for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Code.  The Participant shall be treated as a general, unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts payable hereunder, and shall have no rights to any specific assets of the Company.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any amounts credited to the Dividend Cash Account will remain general assets of the Company and shall be payable solely from the general assets of the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement, (a) all Awards are subject to the Company’s recoupment or clawback policies as applicable and as in effect from time to time and (b) if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the Participant at any time has willfully engaged in any activity that the Committee determines was or is harmful to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any unpaid portion of the Award shall be forfeited and the Participant shall have no rights with respect thereto.  Nothing in this Agreement supersedes or limits the Committee’s authority under the Plan.  The Participant may be required to agree to such additional terms and conditions as may be presented upon acceptance of the Award. 
18.Counterparts. This Award Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

ADDENDUM TO 
STOCK-SETTLED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
This Addendum to the Award Agreement includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award if the Participant resides and/or works outside of the United States. If the Participant transfers to another country reflected in this Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country (if any) will apply to the Participant to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons (or the Company may establish alternative terms as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Participant’s transfer). Capitalized terms not defined in this Addendum but defined the Award Agreement or the Plan shall have the same meaning as in the Award Agreement or the Plan.  
			
	ALL NON-U.S. COUNTRIES
	1.Form of Settlement.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Award Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant is resident or employed outside of the United States, the Company, in its sole discretion, may settle the Restricted Stock Units in the form of a cash payment to the extent settlement in shares of Common Stock: (a) is prohibited under local law; (b) would require the Participant, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Participant’s country of residence (or country of employment, if different); (c) would result in adverse tax consequences for the Participant, the Company or the Participant’s employer; or (d) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company, in its sole discretion, may settle the Restricted Stock Units in the form of shares of Common Stock but require the Participant to sell such shares of Common Stock immediately or within a specified period following the Participant’s Termination Date (in which case, this Addendum shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on the Participant’s behalf).


2.Withholding.  For purposes of the Award Agreement the following provision shall replace Section 4 of the Award Agreement in its entirety. 


      4.  Withholding.  Regardless of any action the Company and/or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social contributions, 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 and its Subsidiaries (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired and the receipt of any Dividend Cash Amount and dividends; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

AMECURRENT 741065166.2 6-May-21 16:53






			
	Further, if the Participant becomes subject to taxation in more than one country between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Participant’s employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.


Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, if the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Participant’s employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Participant’s employer, or their respective agents, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:  (i) the Company may withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld, in which case the cash equivalent of the shares of Common Stock withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items; (ii) the Participant’s employer may withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld from the Participant’s regular salary and/or wages, or other amounts payable to the Participant; (iii) the Company (on the Participant’s behalf and at the Participant’s direction pursuant to this authorization) may sell a sufficient whole number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, resulting in sale proceeds sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld; and (iv) the Participant may be required to provide a cash payment to satisfy the Tax-Related Items. 


Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates (as determined by the Company in good faith and in its sole discretion) or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding from the shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Award, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. The Participant will have no further rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are retained by the Company pursuant to this provision.



9
AMECURRENT 741065166.2 6-May-21 16:53






			
	The Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Participant’s employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Participant’s employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver shares of Common Stock, Dividend Cash Amounts or proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock until arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made in connection with the Tax-Related Items.


3.Compliance with Local Law.  The Participant agrees to repatriate all payments attributable to the shares of Common Stock and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of shares of Common Stock) if required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, the Participant also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with his or her personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).


4.No Advice Regarding Grant.  No employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries is permitted to advise the Participant regarding his or her participation in the Plan or the acquisition or sale of shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units.  The Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors before taking any action related to the Plan.


5.Insider Trading; Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the Plan, the Participant agrees to comply with the Company’s policy on insider trading (to the extent that it is applicable to the Participant). The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s or the Participant’s broker’s country of residence or where the shares of Common Stock are listed, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock, rights to shares of Common Stock or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock during such times the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in the Participant’s country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before the Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis), and (b) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees.  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any restrictions and is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

	6.English Language.  If the Participant is in a country where English is not an official language, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that it is the Participant’s express intent that the Award Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, rules, procedures, forms, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units, be drawn up in English. Further, the Participant acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English to understand the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and any documents related to the Plan or has had the ability to consult with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in the English language. If the Participant has received the Award Agreement, the Plan or any other rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Restricted Stock Units 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.


7.Not a Public Offering.  Neither the grant of the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan nor the issuance of the underlying shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units is intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings to the local securities authorities in jurisdictions outside of the United States unless otherwise required under local law.


8.Additional Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Award, any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Award and the Participant’s participation in the Plan to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.


9.Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Company, its affiliates and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

	The Participant understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan including, but not limited to, the affiliates of the Company and/or the third party administrator engaged by the Company to administer the Plan, or any successor.  These third party recipients may be located in the Participant’s country of residence (or employment, if different) or elsewhere, and the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country.  The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Participant’s human resources representative.  


The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock acquired.  The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan.  


The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Participant’s human resources representative.

Finally, upon request of the Company or the Participant’s employer, the Participant agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/or the Participant’s employer) that the Company and/or the Participant’s employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Participant for the purpose of administering the Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country of residence (or employment, if different), either now or in the future. The Participant understands and agrees that the Participant will be unable to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Participant’s employer.

5.Forfeiture upon Termination. This provision supplements Section 10(i) of the “All Non-US Countries” portion of this Addendum:


For purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding Section 10(i) of the Addendum, the Committee or its delegate may provide that the Participant’s termination of employment will occur as of the date the Participant is no longer actually employed or otherwise rendering services to the Participant's employer (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws or otherwise rendering services or the terms of the Participant’s employment or other service agreement, if any). In such case, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or extended by the Company, the Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date (the “Termination Date”). The Termination Date will not be extended by any common law notice period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if applicable employment standards legislation specifically requires continued entitlement to vesting during a statutory notice period, the Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any will be allowed to continue for that minimum notice period but then immediately terminate effective as of the last day of the Participant’s minimum statutory notice period. In the event the date the Participant is no longer providing actual service cannot be reasonable determined under the terms of the Award Agreement and/or the Plan, the Committee or its delegate shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). Unless the applicable employment standards legislation specifically requires, in the case of the Participant, the Participant will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for that portion of time before the date on which his service relationship is terminated (as determined under this provision) nor will the Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.

	The following provisions govern the Participant’s participation in the Plan if the Participant is a national of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) resident in mainland China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Such provisions may also apply to non-PRC nationals, to the extent required by the Company or by the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”).
1.Exchange Control Approval.  The settlement of the Award is conditioned upon the Company securing all necessary approvals from the SAFE to permit operation of the Plan.
2.Shares of Common Stock Must Be Held with Designated Broker.  All shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be deposited into a personal brokerage account established with the Company’s designated broker (or any successor broker designated by the Company), on the Participant’s behalf.  The Participant understands that the Participant generally may sell the shares of Common Stock at any time after they are deposited in such account, however, the Participant may not transfer the shares of Common Stock out of the brokerage account.
3.Mandatory Sale of Shares Following Termination Date.  The Participant is required to sell all shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units no later than 90 days following the Participant’s Termination Date (or such earlier date as may be required by the SAFE), in which case, this Addendum shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on the Participant’s behalf).  If any shares of Common Stock remain outstanding on the 90th day following the Participant’s Termination Date (or such earlier date as may be required by SAFE), the Participant hereby directs, instructs and authorizes the Company to issue sale instructions on the Participant’s behalf.
The Participant agrees to sign any additional agreements, forms and/or consents that reasonably may be requested by the Company (or the Company’s designated brokerage firm) to effectuate the sale of the shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, as to the transfer of the sale proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters. The Participant acknowledges that neither the Company nor the designated brokerage firm is under any obligation to arrange for such sale of shares of Common Stock at any particular price (it being understood that the sale will occur in the market) and that broker’s fees and similar expenses may be incurred in any such sale.  In any event, when the shares of Common Stock are sold, the sale proceeds, less any tax withholding, any broker’s fees or commissions, and any similar expenses of the sale will be remitted to the Participant in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations.

4.Exchange Control Restrictions.  The Participant understands and agrees that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, the Participant will be required immediately to repatriate to China the proceeds from the sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Participant further understands that such repatriation of proceeds may need to be effected through a special bank account established by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan may be transferred to such account by the Company on the Participant’s behalf prior to being delivered to the Participant and that no interest shall be paid with respect to funds held in such account.  The proceeds may be paid to the Participant in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion.  If the proceeds are paid to the Participant in U.S. dollars, the Participant understands that a U.S. dollar bank account in China must be established and maintained so that the proceeds may be deposited into such account.  If the proceeds are paid to the Participant in local currency, the Participant acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions.  The Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the shares of Common Stock are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to the Participant. The Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the processes and requirements set forth herein shall continue to apply following the Participant’s termination.


5.Administration.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses the Participant may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Addendum or otherwise from the Company’s operation and enforcement of the Plan, the Award Agreement and the Award in accordance with Chinese law including, without limitation, any applicable SAFE rules, regulations and requirements.

	The Participant is aware that providing the Company with the Data is necessary for the implementation, administration and management of the Participant’s participation in the Plan and that the Participant’s refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its obligations under the Plan and may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in and vest in or realize benefits from the Plan.

Such recipients, acting as data processors or persons in charge of the processing in accordance with the applicable law, may receive, possess, process, retain, and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Award and the Plan. The Participant understands that these recipients may be located in or outside the European Economic Area, such as in the United States or elsewhere.

The processing activity, including communication, the transfer of Data abroad, including outside of the European Economic Area, as herein specified and pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, does not require the Participant’s consent thereto, as the processing is necessary to performance of contractual obligations related to implementation, administration, and management of the Award and the Plan.  The Participant understands that, pursuant to Section 7 of the Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, the Participant has the right to, including but not limited to, access, delete, update, correct, or terminate, for legitimate reason, the Data processing.

The Award Agreement (including this Addendum) has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
2.Labor Law Acknowledgement.  In accepting the Award, the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that the Participant has received a copy of the Plan. The Participant understands and agrees that except as provided for in Section 2 of the Award Agreement, the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) automatically will result in the loss of the Award that may have been granted to Participant and that has not vested on the Termination Date. 
In particular, the Participant understands and agrees that any unvested Restricted Stock Units as of the Participant’s Termination Date will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Service Recipient, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985. 
Furthermore, the Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant the Award under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis other than to the extent set forth in the Award Agreement. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and the shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement shall not become a part of any employment or contract (with the Company or the Participant’s employer) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  Furthermore, the Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever will arise from the Award, which is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, the Participant understands that the grant of the Award would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant to Participant of the Award shall be null and void.

	1.Withholding.  The following provision shall supplement Section 2 of the “All Non-US Countries” portion of this Addendum:
The Participant hereby agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or (if different) his or her employer or by Her Majesty Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).  The Participant also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and (if different) his or her employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Participant’s behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
2.Exclusion of Claim. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Participant ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Award, whether or not as a result of termination of employment (whether the termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Award.  Upon the grant of the Award, the Participant will be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.
