For
Non-Employee Directors

 

LAWSON SOFTWARE, INC.

2001
STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 

1.             Option
Grant and Option Exercise Price. Pursuant to the Lawson Software, Inc. 2001
Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Lawson Software, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) grants to the participant (“Participant”) whose
name is specified in the separate written award confirmation provided by the
Company or the Company’s third party administrator (the “Award Confirmation”),
an option to purchase shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company as
follows:

 

The Company grants to Participant an option (the “Option”
or “Stock Option”) to purchase the number of full shares of Common Stock shown
on the Award Confirmation (the “Shares”) at an exercise and purchase price in
United States dollars (the “Grant Price”) per Option Share equal to the Grant
Price listed on the Award Confirmation (which is the closing price for the
Common Stock on Nasdaq (symbol:  LWSN) on
the Grant Date or the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding
the Grant Date if the Grant Date does not occur on a trading day), subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, this Stock Option Award
Document (the “Award Document”) and the Award Confirmation. The Grant Date of
this Stock Option is stated on the Award Confirmation. The Option will be in
effect commencing on the Grant Date and terminating on the Grant Expiration
Date listed on the Award Confirmation or such earlier date and time described
in this Award Document (the “Option Period”). This Option is “Nonqualified
Stock Option (NQ),” as identified on the Award Confirmation under “Type of
Stock Option.”

 

This Award Document is the “Agreement,” as referred to the Plan, which
contains the terms and conditions of the Stock Option. The Stock Option is
subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board of Directors
of the Company or the Committee.

 

2.             Option
Period; Immediate 100% Vesting. The Stock Option expires on the earlier
of:  (a) two (2) years after Participant is
no longer a member of the Board of Directors of the Company or its successor or
(b) seven years after the Grant Date (the “Option Period”). The Stock Option is
100% vested and immediately exercisable in full or in part at any time, and
from time to time, throughout the Option Period. The Company is not responsible
to notify the Participant about Option expiration dates.

 

3.             Manner
of Exercise. Before the end of the Option Period, the Stock Option may be
exercised only by Participant (or by Participant’s guardian or legal
representative, or by Participant’s estate (if Participant is deceased)) by
delivering to the Company’s stock option administrator an irrevocable notice of
exercise in the form required by the Company. The notice of exercise shall
state the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised and shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the Grant Price for those Shares (under
Section 4 below).

 

4.             Payment
of Grant Price. Participant may pay the Grant Price by wire transfer or
check (bank check, certified check or personal check) or by delivering to the
Company for cancellation, in accordance with the rules of the Committee, shares
of Common Stock which have a Fair Market Value in United States dollars equal
to the Grant Price and which either (i) were 

 

1

 

purchased on a national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ NMS system or
(ii) have been issued and outstanding more than six months. The Grant Price is
payable in United States dollars. Subject to the Company’s approval,
Participant may also pay the Grant Price by having it delivered to the Company
in cash from a broker, dealer or other “creditor” as defined in Regulation T
issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System following
delivery by the Participant to the Company of instructions in a form acceptable
to the Company regarding delivery to such broker, dealer or other creditor of
that number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is
exercised.

 

5.             Delivery
of Shares. The Company will deliver to Participant the Shares (either in
certificate or electronic form as requested by Participant) promptly after
proper exercise of the Option and receipt of the Grant Price. Notwithstanding
any provision in this Award Document to the contrary, the obligation of the
Company to deliver Shares is subject to the condition that if at any time the
Committee shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration, or
qualification of the Stock Option or the Shares upon any securities exchange or
under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental
regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the
Stock Option or the issuance or purchase of Shares thereunder, then the Stock
Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or
obtained free of any conditions not reasonably acceptable to the Committee.

 

6.             Tax
Considerations. Based on the tax jurisdiction that is applicable to
Participant, Participant is responsible for payment of any personal income
taxes (or other personal taxes) that arise based on the Option and Shares
issued upon exercise of the Option. If the Participant is subject to taxation
under the United States Internal Revenue Code, the Option will be considered a
non-qualified stock option and not an “incentive stock option” under the United
States Internal Revenue Code Section 422. In order to provide the Company and
its Subsidiaries with the opportunity to claim the benefit of any income tax
deduction in any jurisdiction which may be available to it upon the exercise of
the Option, and in order to comply with all applicable income tax laws or
regulations of any applicable country, state or other jurisdiction, the Company
and its subsidiaries may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure
that, if necessary, all applicable payroll, withholding, income, NIC or other
taxes (of any applicable country, state or other jurisdiction) are withheld or
collected from Participant, to the extent applicable. Participant may elect to
satisfy Participant’s minimum income tax withholding obligations under such
laws or regulations upon exercise of the Option by (i) paying that amount by
check (bank check, certified check or personal check), (ii) having the Company
or its Subsidiaries withhold a portion of the shares of Stock otherwise to be
delivered upon exercise of such Option having a Fair Market Value in United
States dollars (on the date of exercise of Option) equal to the minimum amount
of such taxes required to be withheld on such exercise, in accordance with the
rules of the Committee, or (iii) delivering to the Company for cancellation, in
accordance with the rules of the Committee, shares of Stock which have a fair
market value equal to such tax withholdings and which either (a) were purchased
on a national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ NMS system or (b) have been
issued and outstanding more than six (6) months. The Company may, at its
discretion, require Participant to pay the withholding taxes under clause (i)
above in lieu of the alternatives in clauses (ii) or (iii) above.

 

7.             Adjustments.
In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
combination of shares by the Company after the Grant Date, the number of Shares
subject to the Option and the Grant Price per Share shall be equitably adjusted
in the same manner as the outstanding shares of Stock, in accordance with the
rules of the Committee.

 

2

 

8.             No
Fractional Shares. This Stock Option may be exercised only in whole Shares
and not fractional Shares. Any fraction of a Share that would otherwise vest on
any vesting date will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.

 

9.             Non-Transferability
of Option. The Option is non-transferable except to the extent described in
this Section 9 or permitted by the Committee. The Option shall be transferable
to and exercisable by a successor if a legal representative is appointed for
the Participant or by the Participant’s estate upon death or determination of Participant’s
incompetence.

 

10.           Private
Placement. The grant of the Stock
Option is not intended to be a public offering of securities in Participant’s
country but instead is intended to be a private placement. The Company has not
submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings other than in
the United States (unless otherwise required under local law). No employee of the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates is
permitted to advise Participant about whether or not to acquire shares of the
Company’s common stock under the Plan. Investment in the shares of the Company
involves a degree of risk. Before deciding to acquire shares pursuant to the
Option, Participant should carefully consider all risk factors relevant to the
acquisition of the Company’s common stock under the Plan and carefully review
all of the materials related to the Option and the Plan. In addition,
Participant is encouraged to consult a personal advisor for professional
investment advice (at Participant’s own expense).

 

11.           Impact
on Director Status. This Notice and the Plan are not an employment or
directorship contract. Nothing contained in the Option or this Notice shall
confer on the Participant any right to be employed by or serve as a director of
the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company.

 

12.           Consent
to Collection/Processing/Transfer of Personal Data. Pursuant to applicable personal data protection
laws, the Company hereby notifies Participant of the following in relation to
Participant’s personal data and the collection, processing and transfer of such
data in relation to the Company’s grant of the Option and participation in the
Plan by Participant. The collection, processing and transfer of Participant’s
personal data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the Plan and
participation in the Plan by Participant, and Participant’s denial and/or
objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal data may
affect participation in the Plan by Participant. As such, Participant
voluntarily acknowledges and consents (where required under applicable law) to
the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in
this Section 12. The Company and Participant’s employer hold certain personal
information about Participant, including Participant’s name, home address and
telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee
identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or
directorships held in the Company, details of all options, restricted stock
units or any other entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, purchased,
vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the purpose of
managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Data may  be provided by
Participant or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company
will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering
and managing participation in the Plan by Participant. The Data processing will
take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and
procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which Data are collected and
with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws
and regulations in 

 

3

 

Participant’s country
of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use
of personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for
the processing purposes sought. Data will be accessible within the Company’s
organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation,
administration and operation of the Plan and for participation in the Plan by
Participant. The Company and Participant’s employer will transfer Data amongst
themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and
management of participation in the Plan by Participant, and the Company and
Participant’s employer may each further transfer Data to any third parties
assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of
the Plan. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or
elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. Participant hereby
authorizes (where required under applicable law) them to receive, possess, use,
retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of
implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan by
Participant, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required
for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of
Stock on Participant’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom
Participant may elect to deposit any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the
Plan. Participant may, at any time, exercise Participant’s rights provided
under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to
(a) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data, (b) verify the
content, origin and accuracy of the Data, (c) request the integration, update,
amendment, deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data,
and (d) to oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of
the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Plan and participation in the Plan by
Participant. Participant may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the
local Human Resources manager or the Company’s Human Resources Department.

 

13.           No
Right of Future Stock Option Grants. Nothing contained in this Award
Document, the Award Confirmation or the Plan shall confer on Participant any
right to receive any additional stock options in the future from the Company,
Subsidiary or any other affiliate of the Company or affect in any way the right
of the Company, Subsidiary or any other affiliate to terminate the granting of
stock options at any time.

 

14.           Interpretation
of Terms; General. The Committee shall
interpret the terms of the Option and this Award Document, the Award
Confirmation and Plan and all determinations shall be final and binding. The
Option and this Award Document, the Award Confirmation and Plan (1) are
governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, (2) may be amended only in
writing, signed by an executive officer of the Company, and (3) supersede any
other verbal or written agreements or representations concerning the Option.

 

15.           Compliance
with Age Discrimination Rule – Applicable Only to Participants Who Are Subject
to the Laws in the European Union. The
grant of the Option and the terms and conditions governing the Option are
intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the European Union
(EU) Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age
Discrimination Rules”), for any Participant who is subject to the laws in the
EU. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that
any provision of the Option is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part,
under the Age Discrimination Rules, the court or tribunal, in making such
determination, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to
the full extent permitted under local law.

16.           Official
Language. Unless prohibited by applicable law:  (a) the official language of the Option and
this Award Document, the Award Confirmation and Plan is English, (b) documents
or notices not originally written in English shall have no effect until they
have been translated into English, and the English translation shall then be
the prevailing form of such documents or notices and (c) any notices or other
documents required to be delivered to the Company (or equity plan
administrator) under this Award Document, shall be translated into English, at
Participant’s expense, and provided promptly to the Company in English (to the
attention of the Company’s Corporate Secretary). The Company may also request
an untranslated copy of such documents.

 

17.           Binding
Terms. By accepting any of the benefits of the Stock Option, the Participant
will be deemed to have agreed to comply with all of the terms and conditions of
the Plan (as applicable to the Stock Option), this Award Document and the Award
Confirmation. If there is any discrepancy between the number of Option Shares
shown in the Award Confirmation and the number shown in the records of the
Company’s Corporate Secretary, the records of the Company’s Corporate Secretary
shall prevail.

2.4           The term “Subsidiary” or “Subsidiaries” means any corporation at least a

2.5           The term “Vested Shares” means the Shares with respect to which the

vested pursuant to Section 3 above.

 

5.             Issuance and Custody of Certificate; Delayed
Delivery in Certain Cases.

 

5.1           Subject to the restrictions in this Section 5, upon vesting of the
Restricted Stock Units and following payment of any applicable withholding
taxes or contributions pursuant to Section 8 of this Award Document, the
Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to Participant a
certificate or certificates (in electronic form unless otherwise instructed by
the Participant) evidencing such Vested Shares, and registered in the name of
Participant or in the name of Participant’s legal representatives,
beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be, and shall cause such certificate or
certificates to be delivered to Participant or Participant’s legal
representatives, beneficiaries or heirs. The Company will issue and deliver the
Vested Shares as soon as reasonably practical after the vesting of the
Restricted Stock Units, but no more than 30 days after such vesting date. Except
as provided in Section 5.2 or 5.4, any income will be recognized by Participant
on the date the Participant first becomes eligible to receive the shares under
Section 3. If the issuance of shares is delayed pursuant to Section 5.2 or 5.4,
the Participant will recognize income on the date the shares may first be
issued in accordance with Section 5.2 or 5.4.

 

5.2           The issuance of any Common Stock in accordance with this Award shall
only be effective at such time that the sale or issuance of Common Stock
pursuant to this Award Document will not violate the applicable laws or
regulations of any applicable country, state or other jurisdiction.

 

5.3           At any time after the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and prior to
the issuance of the Vested Shares, if the issuance of the Vested Shares to the
Participant is prohibited due to limitations under Section 5.2, the Company
shall use its reasonable efforts to remove such limitations.

 

5.4           If Participant is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of
the United States Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”), an exception to the
payment restrictions of Section 409A does not apply, and the Company is a
publicly traded corporation at the time of Employee’s termination of
employment, then, notwithstanding any provision in this Award Document to the
contrary:  (a) the issuance of the Vested Shares shall be made to
Participant six months plus five business days following the date of
Termination of Participant’s Service (provided that at the time of actual
payment Participant has met all other requirements for that payment under this
Award Document), (b) no payment of such amount will be made to Participant
before the date described in clause (a) above, and (c) no dividend equivalents
shall accrue or be payable to Employee for any payments that are delayed
pursuant to this Section 5.4.

 

6.             Rights as Stockholder. Prior to the Restricted Stock Units vesting
and Participant receiving the Vested Shares underlying the Restricted Stock
Units pursuant to Section 5 above, Participant shall not have ownership or rights
of ownership of any Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units awarded
hereunder. Participant shall not be entitled to receive dividend equivalents on
the Restricted Stock Units.

 

7.             Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization or combination of shares by the Company after the
Award Date, the number of Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units shall be
equitably adjusted in the same manner as the Company’s outstanding shares of
Common Stock. The Committee will 

 

2

 

administer the process for
completing that equitable adjustment. The number of Restricted Stock Units
designated in the Award Confirmation has been adjusted for all stock splits
that were effective before the Award Date.

 

8.             Taxes. To provide the Company with the opportunity to claim the benefit of
any tax deduction which may be available to it in connection with the Award,
and to comply with all applicable income tax and social insurance contribution
laws or regulations of any applicable country, state or other jurisdiction, the
Company and its Subsidiaries may take such action as it deems appropriate to
ensure that all applicable payroll, income tax, social insurance contributions
or other tax withholding obligations are withheld or collected from Participant.
Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in its sole discretion and except as
prohibited under local law, Participant may elect to satisfy Participant’s
minimum income tax and social insurance contributions withholding obligations,
if applicable, by (i) paying that amount by wire transfer or check (bank check,
certified check or personal check), (ii) having the Company or its Subsidiaries
withhold a portion of the Vested Shares otherwise deliverable to the
Participant having a Fair Market Value in United States dollars equal to the
minimum amount of such taxes required to be withheld, in accordance with the
rules of the Committee, or (iii) delivering to the Company for cancellation, in
accordance with the rules of the Committee, shares of Common Stock which have a
Fair Market Value equal to Participant’s minimum income tax and social
insurance contributions withholding obligations and which either (a) were
purchased on a national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ NMS system or (b) have
been issued and outstanding more than six months. The Company will not deliver
any fractional vested Shares but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market
Value of such fractional vested Shares. Participant’s election under this
Section 8 must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax or other
contribution to be withheld is determined. Participant acknowledges and agrees
that should the shares of Common Stock withheld for income tax and social
insurance contributions purposes be in excess of the amounts required to be
withheld under applicable law, the Company shall refund the excess to
Participant, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable. Any
adverse consequences to Participant resulting from the procedure permitted
under this Section 8 including, without limitation, income tax and social
insurance contributions consequences, shall be the sole responsibility of
Participant.

 

9.             Impact on Director Status. This Agreement is not an employment or directorship
contract. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer on the Participant
any right to be employed by or serve as a director of the Company or any
Subsidiary.

 

10.           No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor this Award Document
shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or
a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and Participant
or any other person. To the extent that any Participant acquires a right to
receive Shares or payments from the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to the
Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor
of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

11.           Consent to Collection/Processing/Transfer of
Personal Data. Pursuant to applicable personal data protection
laws, the Company hereby notifies Participant of the following in relation to
Participant’s personal data and the collection, processing and transfer of such
data in relation to the Company’s grant of the Award and participation in the
Plan by Participant. The collection, processing and transfer of Participant’s
personal data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the Plan and
participation in the Plan by Participant, and Participant’s denial and/or
objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal data may
affect participation in the Plan by Participant. As such, Participant
voluntarily acknowledges and consents (where required under applicable law) to
the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in
this Section 11. The Company and Participant’s employer hold certain personal
information about Participant, including Participant’s name, home address and
telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee
identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or
directorships held in the Company, details of all options, restricted stock
units or any other entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, purchased,
vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the purpose of
managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Data may  be
provided by Participant or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the
Company will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing,
administering and managing participation in the Plan by Participant. The Data
processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means
according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for
which Data are collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as
set forth by applicable laws and regulations in Participant’s country of
residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the
processing purposes sought. Data will be accessible within the Company’s
organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the
implementation, administration and operation of the Plan and for participation
in the Plan by Participant. The Company and Participant’s employer will
transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of
implementation, administration and management of participation in the Plan by
Participant, and the Company and Participant’s employer may each further
transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in
the European Economic Area, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United
States. Participant hereby authorizes (where 

 

3

 

required under applicable law) them to receive, possess,
use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of
implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan by
Participant, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required
for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of
Stock on Participant’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom
Participant may elect to deposit any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the
Plan. Participant may, at any time, exercise Participant’s rights provided
under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to
(a) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data, (b) verify the
content, origin and accuracy of the Data, (c) request the integration, update,
amendment, deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data,
and (d) to oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of
the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Plan and participation in the Plan by
Participant. Participant may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the
local Human Resources manager or the Company’s Human Resources Department.

 

12.           No Right of Future Awards. Nothing contained in this Award Document,
the Award Confirmation or the Plan shall confer on Participant any right to
receive any additional stock awards in the future from the Company, Subsidiary
or any other affiliate of the Company or affect in any way the right of the
Company, Subsidiary or any other affiliate to terminate the granting of equity
awards at any time.

 

13.           Interpretation of Terms; General. The Committee shall interpret the terms of
the Award and this Award Document, the Award Confirmation and Plan and all
determinations shall be final and binding. The Award and this Award Document,
the Award Confirmation and Plan (1) are governed by the laws of the State of
Minnesota, (2) may be amended only in writing, signed by an executive officer
of the Company, and (3) supersede any other verbal or written agreements or
representations concerning the Award.

 

14.           Termination Indemnities. Participation in the Plan by the Participant
is voluntary. The value of the Award under the Plan is an extraordinary item of
compensation outside the scope of Participant’s employment contract, if any. As
such, the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of
calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments,
bonuses, long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or similar
payments. Rather, the Award represents a mere investment opportunity to acquire
shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

15.           Private Placement. The grant of the Award is not intended to be
a public offering of securities in Participant’s country but instead is
intended to be a private placement. The Company has not submitted any
registration statement, prospectus or other filings other than in the United
States (unless otherwise required under local law). No employee
of the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates is permitted to advise
Participant about whether or not to acquire shares of the Company’s common
stock under the Plan. Investment in the shares of the Company involves a degree
of risk. Before deciding to acquire shares pursuant to the Award, Participant
should carefully consider all risk factors relevant to the acquisition of the
Company’s common stock under the Plan and carefully review all of the materials
related to the Award and the Plan. In addition, Participant is encouraged to
consult a personal advisor for professional investment advice (at Participant’s
own expense).

 

16.           Compliance with Age Discrimination Rule –
Applicable Only to Participants Who Are Subject to the Laws in the European
Union. The grant of the Award
and the terms and conditions governing the Award are intended to comply with
the age discrimination provisions of the European Union (EU) Equal Treatment
Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination
Rules”), for any Participant who is subject to the laws in the EU. To the
extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any
provision of the Award is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under
the Age Discrimination Rules, the court or tribunal, in making such
determination, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision
to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full
extent permitted under local law.

 

17.           Official Language. Unless prohibited by applicable law:  (a) the official language of the Award and
this Award Document, the Award Confirmation and Plan is English, (b) documents
or notices not originally written in English shall have no effect until they
have been translated into English, and the English translation shall then be
the prevailing form of such documents or notices and (c) any notices or other
documents required to be delivered to the Company (or equity plan
administrator) under this Award Document, shall be translated into English, at
Participant’s expense, and provided promptly to the Company in English (to the
attention of the Company’s Corporate Secretary). The Company may also request
an untranslated copy of such documents.

 

18.           Binding Terms. By accepting any of the benefits of the
Restricted Stock Units, the Participant will be deemed to have agreed to comply
with all of the terms and conditions of the Plan (as applicable to the
Restricted Stock Units), this Award Document and the Award Confirmation. If
there is any discrepancy between the number of Restricted Stock Units shown in
the Award Confirmation and the number shown in the records of the Company’s
Corporate Secretary, the records of the Company’s Corporate Secretary shall
prevail.
