Pursuant to the Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached, the Company has granted to Participant the target number of PSUs set forth in the Grant Notice.  

ARTICLE I.

1.1Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan or the Grant Notice. For purposes of this Agreement,

(a)“Cessation Date” shall mean the date of Participant’s Termination of Service (regardless of the reason for such termination).

(b)“Company Group” shall mean the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(c)“Company Group Member” shall mean each member of the Company Group.

1.2Incorporation of Terms of Plan and Foreign Appendix.  The PSUs and the shares of Common Stock (“Stock”) to be issued to Participant hereunder (“Shares”) are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Plan and the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

ARTICLE II.
award of PERFORMANCE restricted stock UNITS

2.1Award of PSUs.  In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to any Company Group Member and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company has granted to Participant the target number of PSUs set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, the Plan, this Agreement and the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, subject to adjustments as provided in Article 12 of the Plan.  Each PSU represents the right to receive one Share or, at the option of the Company, an amount of cash as set forth in Section 2.3(b), in either case, at the times and subject to the conditions set forth herein.  However, unless and until the PSUs have vested, Participant will have no right to any payment or any Shares subject thereto.  Prior to the actual delivery of any Shares, the PSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company.  

2.2Vesting of PSUs; Forfeiture.  

(a)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the PSUs will be earned at a level of up to 200% based on the Company’s achievement of the performance conditions set forth in Appendix A and will, to the extent so earned, vest in full on the last day of the Performance Period.  Any PSUs that are not earned in accordance with the performance conditions set forth in Appendix A will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited without consideration as of the last day of the Performance Period.  

 

 



 

(b)In the event Participant incurs a Termination of Service by the Company without “cause” (as such term is defined in the sole discretion of the Administrator) prior to the end of the Performance Period, the number of PSUs earned pursuant to this Agreement will be determined by the Administrator as of the Cessation Date, consistent with the provisions of Appendix A, based on actual performance through the Cessation Date (treating such date as the end of the Performance Period) and all PSUs granted hereunder which have not been earned on or prior to the Cessation Date shall be cancelled and forfeited without consideration.  Such PSUs that are deemed earned pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) will vest on the last day of the Performance Period and will be settled promptly thereafter in accordance with Section 2.3. In the event Participant incurs a Termination of Service for any other reason, subject to Section 12.2 of the Plan and except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between Participant and the Company, Participant shall immediately forfeit any and all PSUs granted under this Agreement which have not vested or do not vest on or prior to the Cessation Date, and Participant’s rights in any such PSUs which are not so vested shall lapse and expire. 

(c)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event a Change in Control occurs before the end of the Performance Period, the number of PSUs earned pursuant to this Agreement will be determined by the Administrator as of the date of the Change in Control, consistent with the provisions of Appendix A, based on actual performance through the date of the Change in Control (treating such date as the end of the Performance Period).  Such PSUs that are deemed earned pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) will vest on the date of the Change in Control, subject to Participant’s continued employment or service to a Company Group Member through the date of the Change in Control, and will be settled promptly thereafter in accordance with Section 2.3.  

2.3Distribution or Payment of PSUs.  

(a)Participant’s PSUs shall be distributed in Shares (either in book-entry form or otherwise) or, at the option of the Company, paid in an amount of cash as set forth in Section 2.3(b), in either case, as soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of the applicable PSU pursuant to Section 2.2, and, in any event, within sixty (60) days following such vesting.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay a distribution or payment in settlement of PSUs if it reasonably determines that such payment or distribution will violate Federal securities laws or any other Applicable Law, provided that such distribution or payment shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably determines that the making of such distribution or payment will not cause such violation, as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii), and provided further that no payment or distribution shall be delayed under this Section 2.3(a) if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A.

(b)In the event that the Company elects to make payment of Participant’s PSUs in cash, the amount of cash payable with respect to each PSU shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the day immediately preceding the applicable distribution or payment date set forth in Section 2.3(a).  All distributions made in Shares shall be made by the Company in the form of whole Shares, and any fractional Share shall be distributed in cash in an amount equal to the value of such fractional Share determined based on the Fair Market Value as of the date immediately preceding the date of such distribution.

2.4Conditions to Issuance of Certificates.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for any Shares prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions:  (A) the admission of the Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Shares are then listed, (B) the completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable, and (C) the 

A-2

 



 

obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.

2.5Tax Withholding.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a)The Company Group has the authority to deduct or withhold, or require Participant to remit to the applicable Company Group Member, an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the employee portion of any FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising pursuant to this Agreement.  The Company Group may withhold or Participant may make such payment in one or more of the forms specified below:

(i)by cash or check made payable to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises;

(ii)with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the distribution of the PSUs, with the consent of the Administrator, by requesting that the Company and its Subsidiaries withhold a net number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the PSUs having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company Group based on the maximum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes;

(iii)with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the distribution of the PSUs, with the consent of the Administrator, by tendering to the Company vested Shares having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company Group based on the maximum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes; 

(iv)with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the distribution of the PSUs, through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable to Participant pursuant to the PSUs, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises in satisfaction of such withholding taxes; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the applicable Company Group Member at such time as may be required by the Administrator, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale; or

(v)in any combination of the foregoing.

(b)With respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the PSUs, in the event Participant fails to provide timely payment of all sums required pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Company shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat such failure as an election by Participant to satisfy all or any portion of Participant’s required payment obligation pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(ii) or Section 2.5(a)(iii) above, or any combination of the foregoing as the Company may determine to be appropriate. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificate representing Shares issuable with respect to the PSUs to Participant or his or her legal representative unless and until Participant or his or her legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes applicable with respect to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the vesting or settlement of the PSUs or any other taxable event related to the PSUs.

(c)In the event any tax withholding obligation arising in connection with the PSUs will be satisfied under Section 2.5(a)(iii), then the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm 

A-3

 



 

determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares then issuable to Participant pursuant to the PSUs as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding obligation and to remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises.  Participant’s acceptance of this Award constitutes Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company and such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this Section 2.5(c), including the transactions described in the previous sentence, as applicable.  The Company may refuse to issue any Shares in settlement of the PSUs to Participant until the foregoing tax withholding obligations are satisfied, provided that no payment shall be delayed under this Section 2.5(c) if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A.

(d)Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the PSUs, regardless of any action the Company Group Member takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the PSUs.  No Company Group Member makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the PSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares.  The Company Group does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the PSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.

2.6Rights as Stockholder.  Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book-entry form) will have been issued and recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account).  Except as otherwise provided herein, after such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares, including, without limitation, the right to receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

3.12Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan.  In accepting the PSUs, Participant acknowledges that: 

(a)the award of the PSUs the Company is making under the Plan is unilateral and discretionary and will not give rise to any future obligation on the Company to make further Awards under the Plan to Participant;

(b)for labor law purposes, the PSUs are not part of normal or expected wages or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for any Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof;

(c)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(d)the PSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(e)neither the PSUs nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon Participant any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment and shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with any Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof, and any modification of the Plan or the Agreement or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of employment; 

(f)in consideration of the grant of the PSUs hereunder, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the PSUs, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the PSUs resulting from termination of Participant’s employment by any Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Participant irrevocably releases each Company Group Member from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim.

3.13Consent to Personal Data Processing and Transfer.  By acceptance of the PSUs, Participant acknowledges and consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described below.  The Company Group holds certain personal information, including Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee tax identification number, employment history and status, salary, nationality, job title, and any equity compensation grants or Shares awarded, cancelled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).  Participant is aware that providing the Company with Participant’s Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that Participant’s refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. The Company Group will transfer Data to third parties in the course of its or their business, including for the purpose of assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. However, from time to time and without notice, the Company Group may retain additional or different third parties for any of the purposes 

A-6

 



 

mentioned.  The Company Group may also make Data available to public authorities where required under Applicable Law.  Such recipients may be located in the jurisdiction which Participant is based or elsewhere in the world, which Participant separately and expressly consents to, accepting that outside the jurisdiction which Participant is based, data protection laws may not be as protective as within. Participant hereby authorizes the Company Group and all such third parties to receive, possess, use, retain, process and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, in the course of the Company Group’s business, including for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan, and including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan on behalf of Participant to a third party to whom Participant may have elected to have payment made pursuant to the Plan.  Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative. Participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in writing by contacting the Company through its local human resources representative; however, withdrawing the consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and receive the benefits intended by the PSUs.  Data will only be held as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan and any subsequent claims or rights.

3.14Entire Agreement.  The Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.  [For the avoidance of doubt, absent the express written consent of the Company following the Grant Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any employment, severance or similar arrangement effective prior to the Grant Date pursuant to which Participant is a party or eligible individual, no provisions of such employment, severance or similar arrangement which could be construed to apply to this Award upon or in connection with Participant’s Termination of Service (including, without limitation, any provision providing for accelerated vesting upon or in connection with Participant’s Termination of Service) shall be applicable to this Award.]1

3.15Section 409A.  This Award is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A.  However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, if at any time the Administrator determines that this Award (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate for this Award either to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

3.16Agreement Severable.  In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement.

3.17Limitation on Participant’s Rights.  Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant shall have only the rights of a general

unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the PSUs. 

3.18Counterparts.  The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the particular situation of Participant, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result.  Accordingly, Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation. If Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

The Participant should be aware that the tax consequences in connection with the grant of the PSUs and the disposal of the resulting Shares vary from country to country and are subject to change from time to time and understand that the Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the PSUs and the Participant’s disposal of the Shares.  By signing the Agreement the Participant acknowledges that he or she is not relying on the Company for tax advice and will seek his or her own tax advice as required.
