SECTION 1.  GRANT OF AWARD
On the terms and conditions set forth in the Global Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”), this Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), including any country specific terms and conditions set forth in any appendix hereto (the “Appendix”) (the Notice, this Agreement and the Appendix, collectively, the “Award Agreement”), the company grants to the Grantee on the Grant Date (as defined in the Notice) the award for the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Notice.
SECTION 2.  RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF AWARD
The Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, and, subject to the restrictions contained in this Award Agreement and the Plan, Shares issuable with respect to the Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in the Notice and (ii) Shares have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement.
SECTION 3.  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
If the Grantee’s employment terminates for any reason (including death or disability) prior to a Vesting Date (as defined in the Notice), any Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units. 
SECTION 4.  RECEIPT OF SHARES OF STOCK
As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to this Award Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares. 
SECTION 5.  INCORPORATION OF PLAN
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Committee set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan.  Capitalized terms in this Award Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.
SECTION 6.  TAX WITHHOLDING
ACTIVE/101062433.2  

Regardless of any action that the Company or, if different, the Grantee’s actual employer or any Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate to which the Grantee provides Service if the Grantee is a Consultant (collectively, the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (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, without limitation, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance, and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  The Grantee shall not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors, officers or employees related to Tax-Related Items arising from this Award or the Grantee’s other compensation.  Furthermore, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(a)withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to him or her by the Company and/or the Employer; or 
(b)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
(c)withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that if Grantee is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Committee shall establish the method of withholding from alternatives (a)-(c) herein.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including up to the maximum statutory tax rate for the applicable tax jurisdiction, to the extent consistent with the Plan and applicable laws, in which case any over-withheld amount will be refunded to the Grantee in cash (with no entitlement to the Share equivalent) or if not refunded the Grantee may seek a refund from the local tax authorities.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, the Grantee is deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock 
ACTIVE/101062433.2  

Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. 
Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 
SECTION 7.  SECTION 409A
This Award Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all provisions relating to the settlement of the Award are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as “short-term deferrals” as described in Section 409A of the Code.  Solely for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each issuance of Shares on a Vesting Date shall be considered a separate payment.  The Company makes no representations or warranty and shall have no liability to the Grantee or any other person if any provisions of this Award are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
SECTION 8.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

The Award and the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be governed by and constructed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of California.  For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by the Award or this Award Agreement and/or the Plan, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of the County of San Mateo, California, or the United States federal courts for the

(v)Personal Data Authorization.

(3)The Grantee understands that Data will be transferred to any stock plan service provider or broker as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  The Grantee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country.  The Grantee understands that if he or she resides outside of the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative.  The Grantee authorizes the Company, any stock plan service provider or broker selected by the Company and any other possible recipients that may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.  The Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan.  The Grantee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, at any time, he or she may view Data, request 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 his or her local 
ACTIVE/101062433.2  

human resources representative.  Further, the Grantee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.

Therefore, the Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of refusing to consent or withdrawing consent, the Grantee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

Moreover, if the Grantee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Grantee, to the extent that the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.  The Appendix constitutes part of this Award Agreement.
(ix)Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on this Award and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent that the Company determines that it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

APPENDIX TO
ACTIVE/101062433.2  

GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENTUNDER THE GUIDEWIRE SOFTWARE, INC.2011 STOCK PLAN

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Appendix, which is part of the Award Agreement, includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units and that will apply to the Grantee if he or she is in one of the countries listed below.  The Company, in its discretion, will determine to what extent terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Grantee.
NOTIFICATIONS
This Appendix also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of September 2016.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because such information may be outdated when the Restricted Stock Units become vested and/or when any Shares acquired upon vesting and settlement are sold.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation.  As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of any particular result.  The Grantee therefore is encouraged to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her particular situation.
Finally, if the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than that in which the Grantee currently is working and/or residing, if he or she transfers employment and/or residency to a different country after the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, or is considered resident of another country for local law purposes, then the notifications contained herein may not apply to him or her.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms set forth in this Appendix shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Notice, the Agreement and/or the Plan.

for purposes of the Award, the Grantee’s employment relationship will be considered terminated as of the earlier of (a) the date that the Grantee receives notice of termination of employment; or (b) the date the Grantee is no longer actively providing employment (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee renders Service or the terms of the Grantee’s Service agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Company, the Grantee’s right to continue to vest in the Restricted Stock Units, if any, will terminate effective as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active employment would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Grantee renders Service or the terms of the Grantee’s Service agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee’s active employment is terminated for purposes of this Award (including whether the Grantee may still be considered actively providing employment while on a leave of absence);

The Grantee hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or non-professional, involved 
ACTIVE/101062433.2  

in the administration and operation of the Plan.  The Grantee further authorizes the Company, the Employer and it’s other Subsidiaries to disclose and discuss with their advisors the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.  The Grantee also authorizes the Company, the Employer and it’s other Subsidiaries to record such information and to keep it in his or her employment file.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Notification.  The Grantee is permitted to sell Shares acquired through the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed.  The Shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Foreign Asset Reporting Information.  If the Grantee is a Canadian resident, the Grantee is required to report annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) the foreign property (including Shares acquired under the Plan) he or she holds if the total cost of such foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year.  Unvested RSUs also must be reported (generally at nil cost) on Form T1135 if the C$100,000 threshold is exceeded due to other foreign property the Grantee holds.  If Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares.  The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the Shares at vesting, but if the Grantee owns other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares.  The Form T1135 must be filed at the same time the Grantee files his or her annual tax return. The Grantee is advised to consult with a personal advisor to ensure he or she complies with the applicable reporting obligations.

The following information is applicable to grants of Restricted Stock Units made on or after December 1, 2016.
Securities Law Notification.  Warning:  This is an offer of rights to receive Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units.  Restricted Stock Units give the Grantee a stake in the ownership of the Company.  The Grantee may receive a return if dividends are paid on the Shares.
ACTIVE/101062433.2  

If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Grantee will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preferred shares have been paid.  A Grantee may lose some or all of his or her investment.
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest.  This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision.  The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme.  As a result, the Grantee may not be given all the information usually required.  The Grantee will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. 
The Grantee should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing himself or herself.
In addition, the Grantee is hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on the Company’s “Investor Relations” website at http://ir.guidewire.com/ and the Grantee’s online E*TRADE account:
(i) this Award Agreement which together with the Plan sets forth the terms and conditions of participation in the Plan;
(ii) a copy of the Company’s most recent annual report (i.e., Form 10-K);
(iii)  a copy of the Company’s most recent published financial statements;
(iv) a copy of the Plan; and
(v) a copy of the Plan Prospectus.
A copy of the above documents will be sent to the Grantee free of charge on written request to stock-admin@guidewire.com.
As noted above, the Grantee is advised to carefully read the materials provided before making a decision whether to participate in the Plan.  The Grantee is also encouraged to contact his or her tax advisor for specific information concerning the Grantee’s personal tax situation with regard to Plan participation.

UNITED KINGDOM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Restricted Stock Units Payable in Shares Only.  Notwithstanding any discretion in Section 9(a) of the Plan or anything contrary in the Agreement, due to tax considerations in the United Kingdom, the Award does not provide any right for the Grantee to receive a cash payment, and the Restricted Stock Units are payable in Shares only.
Joint Election for Transfer of Liability for Employer National Insurance Contributions.  As a condition of participation in the Plan and settlement of this Award upon vesting, the Grantee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions that may be payable by the Company, the Employer, or a Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate in connection with the Restricted Stock Units and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer NICs”).  Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Grantee agrees to execute a joint election with the Company, the form of such joint election (the “Joint Election”) having been approved formally by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), and any other required consent or election.  The Grantee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Grantee and any successor to the Company, the Employer, and/or any Subsidiary or affiliate.  The Grantee further agrees that the Company, the Employer, and/or any Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate may collect the Employer NICs from the Grantee by any of the means set forth in Section 6 of the Agreement.
If the Grantee does not enter into a Joint Election prior to vesting of the Award, the Award shall not be settled unless and until he or she enters into a Joint Election, and no Shares will be issued to the Grantee under the Plan, without any liability to the Company, the Employer, or any Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate.
Tax Withholding.  The following provision supplements Section 6 of the Agreement:
The Grantee agrees that, if he or she does not pay or the Company or the Employer does not withhold from the Grantee the full amount of the income tax due within ninety (90) days of the end of the tax year during which the event giving rise to the tax liability took place or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected tax shall constitute a loan owed by the Grantee to the Company or the Employer, effective as of the Due Date.  The Grantee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the official HMRC rate and immediately will be due and repayable by the Grantee, and the Company, the Employer, or any Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 6 of the Agreement.  The Grantee also authorizes the Company to delay the issuance of any Shares to the Grantee unless and until the loan is repaid in full.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is an executive officer or director within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, the Grantee shall not be eligible for a loan to 
ACTIVE/101062433.2  

cover the income tax due as described above.  In the event that the Grantee is an executive officer or director and the income tax due is not collected by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and National Insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 6 of the Agreement.  The Grantee also will be responsible for reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime.

Guidewire Software, Inc. 2011 Stock Plan
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
SECTION 1.  GRANT OF AWARD
On the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award dated [DATE] and this Award Agreement, the company grants to the Grantee on the Date of Grant the award for the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Notice of Grant of Award.
SECTION 2.  RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF AWARD
The Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, and, subject to the restrictions contained in this Award Agreement and the Plan, Shares issuable with respect to the Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in the Notice and (ii) Shares have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement.
SECTION 3.  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
If the Grantee’s employment terminates for any reason (including death or disability) prior to a Vesting Date, any Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is subject to an Involuntary Termination within 2 months before or 12 months after a Change in Control, then 100% of the unvested and outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall fully accelerate and become vested as of the date of such termination.  For purposes hereof, “Involuntary Termination” means that the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason, as such terms are defined in the Grantee’s [Executive Agreement with the Company, as amended and restated [DATE]][Executive Agreement with the Company, dated [DATE]].
SECTION 4.  RECEIPT OF SHARES OF STOCK
As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to the Notice and this Award Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares. 
SECTION 5.  INCORPORATION OF PLAN
ACTIVE/101062097.2  

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Committee set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan.  Capitalized terms in this Award Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.
SECTION 6.  TAX WITHHOLDING
Regardless of any action that the Company, the Grantee’s actual employer or any Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate to which the Grantee provides Service if the Grantee is a Consultant (collectively, the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (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, without limitation, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance, and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  The Grantee shall not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors, officers or employees related to Tax-Related Items arising from this Award or the Grantee’s other compensation.  Furthermore, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
         Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(a) payment by the Grantee to the Company and/or Employer; or 
(b) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to him or her by the Company and/or the Employer; or 
(c) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
(d) withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that if Grantee is a Section 16 officer of the Company 
ACTIVE/101062097.2  

under the Exchange Act, then the Committee shall establish the method of withholding from alternatives (a)-(c) herein.
         To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, the Grantee is deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
         Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
SECTION 7.  SECTION 409A
This Award Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all provisions relating to the settlement of the Award are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as “short-term deferrals” as described in Section 409A of the Code.  Solely for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each issuance of Shares on a Vesting Date shall be considered a separate payment.  The Company makes no representations or warranty and shall have no liability to the Grantee or any other person if any provisions of this Award are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
SECTION 8.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
(i)Notice.  Any notice required by the terms of this Award Agreement shall be given in writing.  It shall be deemed effective upon (i) personal delivery, (ii) deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid,  (iii) deposit with Federal Express Corporation (or other overnight courier service approved by the Company), with shipping charges prepaid or (iv) the date on which an electronic notification is received.

(iv)Authorization to Disclose.  The Grantee hereby authorizes and directs the Employer to disclose to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary such information regarding the Grantee’s Service, the nature and amount of Grantee’s compensation and the fact and conditions of Grantee’s participation in the Plan as the Employer deems necessary or appropriate to facilitate the administration of the Plan. 
(v)Severability.  The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions nevertheless shall be binding and enforceable.
(vi)Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on this Award and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent that the Company determines that it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
