Stock Award Agreement (“Award Agreement”)
For Standard Awards Granted to Employees
(for awards after November 17, 2015)
Section 1.    Grant of Stock Award.  This Stock Award Agreement, dated as of the date of grant indicated in your account maintained by the company providing administrative services in connection with the Plan (as defined below) (the “External Administrator”), is entered into between Agilent Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), and you as an individual who has been granted Restricted Stock Units (the “Awardee”) pursuant to the Agilent Technologies, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan (the “Plan”).  This Stock Award represents the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock indicated in the Awardee's External Administrator account subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth below and pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.  The Stock Award is an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Company to deliver shares in the future.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein are used with the same meanings as in the Plan.
Section 2.    Vesting Period.  So long as Awardee remains an Awardee Eligible to Vest and has not had a termination of his Service, the Stock Award shall vest as to 25% of the shares beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant stated in Section 1 above and another 25% on each subsequent anniversary of the date of grant so that the Stock Award is fully vested on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant.
Section 3.    Nontransferability of Stock Award.  This Stock Award shall not be transferable by Awardee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  The terms of this Stock Award shall be binding on the executors, administrators, heirs and successors of Awardee.
Section 4.    Termination of Employment or Service.
(a)    Except as set forth in this Section 4 or other written agreement with the Company, any unvested Stock Award shall be forfeited immediately when the Awardee has had a termination of his Service or otherwise ceases to be an Awardee Eligible to Vest.  Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, termination of Awardee’s Service for any reason shall be determined without regard to whether such Awardee continues thereafter to receive any compensatory payments therefrom or is paid salary thereby in lieu of notice of termination.
(b)    Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if an Awardee dies while an Employee, the Stock Award shall immediately vest in full.  The vested portion of the Stock Award shall be delivered to the executor or administrator of the Awardee’s estate or, if 

November 2015    RSU Standard-Employees    

none, by the person(s) entitled to receive the vested Stock Award under the Awardee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution.
(c)    Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if an Awardee terminates employment due to total and permanent disability or due to participation in the Company’s Workforce Management Program, the Stock Award shall vest in full.
(d)    Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if an Awardee is, or becomes eligible for, retirement in accordance with the Company’s local retirement policy as in effect on the date of grant of this Stock Award, any unvested Stock Award will be fully vested as of the date of such retirement eligibility and be settled upon the earliest to occur of (i) the normal vesting dates set forth in Section 2 above, (ii) the Awardee’s death and (iii) a Change of Control, in accordance with Section 5 below.
(e)    In the event of a Change of Control, the Stock Award shall vest in full immediately prior to the closing of the transaction.  The foregoing shall not apply where the Stock Award is assumed, converted or replaced in full by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor; provided, however, that in the event of a Change of Control in which one or more of the successor or a parent or subsidiary of the successor has issued publicly traded equity securities, the assumption, conversion, replacement or continuation shall be made by an entity with publicly traded securities and shall provide that the holders of such assumed, converted, replaced or continued Stock Awards shall be able to acquire such publicly traded securities.
Section 5.    Settlement of Stock Award.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any other agreement, the Stock Award, but only to the extent vested, shall be automatically settled in shares of Common Stock upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the normal vesting dates set forth in Section 2 above, (ii) the Awardee’s death (in which case, settlement will occur as soon as practicable within 74 days after the date of death), (iii) the Awardee’s termination due to total and permanent disability or participation in the Company’s Workforce Management Program (in which cases, settlement will occur as soon as practicable within 74 days after such termination), and (iv) a Change of Control.  
In addition, except as would result in taxation under Code Section 409A, if any Tax-Related Items legally due by Awardee (as described in Section 7 below) with respect to any shares underlying the Stock Award become due prior to settlement of such shares on account of an Awardee’s retirement eligibility described in Section 4(d) or vesting of the Stock Award, settlement of a portion of the shares necessary to satisfy such Tax-Related Items may be accelerated to satisfy such Tax-Related Items (either by withholding in shares or forcing the sale of shares pursuant to the authority in this Stock Award Agreement, at the Company’s sole discretion) or, alternatively, the Company may require Awardee to satisfy such Tax-Related Items by making payment to the Company or any other method set forth in Section 7 hereof, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
Section 6.    Restrictions on Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Stock Award unless the shares are at that time effectively registered or exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, as applicable, local laws.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary 

November 2015    RSU Standard-Employees    

herein, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Stock Award if such issuance violates or is not incompliance with any Applicable Laws.
Section 7.    Responsibility for Taxes.  Regardless of any action the Company or Awardee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (the “Tax-Related Items”), Awardee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Awardee is and remains Awardee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Stock Award, including the grant and vesting of the Stock Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Stock Award and the receipt of any dividends or other distributions, if any; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Stock Award to reduce or eliminate Awardee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
Awardee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to, in the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Employer, withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Awardee from Awardee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Awardee by the Company and/or the Employer, within legal limits, or from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock.  Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may in its sole discretion (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock that Awardee acquires pursuant to this Stock Award to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares of Common Stock otherwise payable pursuant to this Stock Award, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount.
Finally, Awardee 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 as a result of Awardee’s participation in the Plan or Awardee’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Stock Award that is not satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock if Awardee fails to comply with Awardee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.
Section 8.    Adjustment.  The number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Stock Award and the price per share, if any, of such shares may be adjusted by the Company from time to time pursuant to the Plan.
Section 9.    Nature of the Award.  By accepting this Stock Award, Awardee acknowledges that:
(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement;
(b)    the grant of the Stock Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Award, or benefits in lieu of Stock Awards, even if Stock Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

November 2015    RSU Standard-Employees    

(c)    all decisions with respect to future Stock Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)    participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Awardee’s employment relationship at any time;
(e)    participating in the Plan is voluntary;
(f)    the Stock Award is an extraordinary item that does not constitute recurring or on-going compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of Awardee’s employment contract, if any;
(g)    the Stock Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, 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 to the Company or the Employer;
(h)    in the event Awardee is not an employee of the Company, the Stock Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the Stock Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
(i)    the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty, and the Company makes no representation regarding such future value and is not responsible for any decrease in value or any foreign exchange fluctuations between Awardee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect such value;
(j)    if Awardee accepts the Stock Award and obtains shares of Common Stock, the value of those shares of Common Stock acquired may increase or decrease in value;
(k)    in consideration of the grant of the Stock Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Stock Award or diminution in value of the Stock Award or shares of Common Stock acquired under the Stock Award resulting from termination of Awardee’s employment by the Company or the Employer and Awardee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer 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, then, by signing this Award Agreement, Awardee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived Awardee’s entitlement to pursue such claim;
(l)    by accepting the grant of this Stock Award through the methods described in Section 21 below, the Awardee and the Company agree that this Stock Award is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement (including the Country-Specific Addendum), and the Awardee acknowledges that he or she agrees to accept 

November 2015    RSU Standard-Employees    

as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Company and/or the External Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan and Award Agreement; 
(m)    this Award Agreement is between the Awardee and the Company, and that the Awardee’s local employer is not a party to this Award Agreement;
(n)     Applicable Laws (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor or other matters) of the country in which Awardee is residing or working at the time of grant or vesting of the Stock Award or the sale of shares may subject Awardee to additional procedural or regulatory requirements that Awardee solely is responsible for and must independently fulfill in relation to ownership or sale of such shares;
(o)     the ownership of shares or assets and the holding of a bank or brokerage account may subject Awardee to reporting requirements imposed by tax, banking, and/or other authorities in Awardee’s country, that Awardee solely is responsible for complying with such requirements, and that any cross-border cash remittance made to transfer of proceeds received upon the sale of shares must be made through a locally authorized financial institution or registered foreign exchange agency and may require Awardee to provide to such entity certain information regarding the transaction;
(p)     the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements or terms and conditions (which may be set forth in but are not limited to the Country-Specific Addendum hereto) on Awardee’s participation in the Plan, the Stock Award and any shares acquired thereunder, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with Applicable Laws or facilitate the administration of the Plan.

Awardee’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 Awardee may elect to deposit any Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the Stock Award.  Awardee hereby understands that Awardee may, at any time refuse or withdraw the consents herein by contacting in writing Awardee’s local human resources representative.  Awardee hereby understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing Awardee’s consent may affect Awardee’s ability to participate in the Plan.

The Committee in its sole discretion may substitute a cash payment in lieu of shares of Common Stock, such cash payment to be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date that such Shares would have otherwise been issued under the terms of the Plan.
Section 12.    Administrative Procedures.  Awardee agrees to follow the administrative procedures that may be established by the Company and/or its designated broker for participation in the Plan which may include a requirement that the shares issued hereunder be held by the Company’s designated broker until the Awardee disposes of such shares.  Awardee further agrees that the Company may determine the actual method of withholding for Tax-Related Items as described in Section 7 above.  Awardee agrees to update the Company with respect to Awardee’s home address, contact information and any information necessary for the Company or one of its affiliates to process any required tax withholding or reporting related to this Stock Award.

Section 17.     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 shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
Section 18.    Section 409A of the Code
(a)    This Stock Award shall be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner that does not result in the imposition on the Awardee of any additional tax, penalty, or interest under Section 409A of the Code.  The preceding provision, however, shall not be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect and the Company shall not be liable to the Awardee for any payment made under this Stock Award that is determined to result in an additional tax, penalty, or interest under Section 409A of the Code, nor for reporting in good faith any payment made under any Award as an amount includible in gross income under Section 409A of the Code.
(b)    “Termination of employment,” “resignation,” or words of similar import, as used in this Stock Award means for purposes of payments under this Award that are payments of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code as to which the payment event is such term or words, the Awardee’s “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code.
(c)    To the extent any payment or settlement that is a payment of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code is contingent upon a “change in control,” such payment or settlement shall only occur if the event giving rise to the change in control would also constitute a change in ownership or effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  The vesting of any Award shall not be affected by the preceding sentence.
(d)    If a payment obligation under this Stock Award arises on account of the Awardee’s separation from service while the Awardee is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), any payment of “deferred compensation” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(1), after giving effect to the exemptions in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(3) through (b)(12)) that is scheduled to be paid within six (6) months after such separation from service shall accrue without interest and shall be paid within 15 days after the end of the six-month period beginning on the date of such separation from service or, if earlier, within 15 days after his or her death.
Section 19.    Recoupment.  This Stock Award is subject to the terms of the Agilent Technologies Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy in the form approved by the Committee as the date of grant (the “Policy”), if and to the extent that the Policy by its terms applies to the Stock Award and the Awardee; and the terms of the Policy as of the date of grant are incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof.
Section 20.    Entire Agreement.  The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  The Plan and this Award Agreement (including the Country-Specific Addendum attached hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Awardee with respect to the 

November 2015    RSU Standard-Employees    

subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Awardee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Awardee.
Section 21.    Acceptance and Rejection.  This Award Agreement is one of the documents governing this Stock Award, which the Awardee may accept or reject online through the External Administrator’s website.  If the Awardee has not rejected this Stock Award by the time of the first vesting event, the Awardee will be deemed to have accepted this Stock Award, and the shares of Common Stock vested pursuant to the Stock Award will be issued and taxed accordingly.
Section 22.    Country-Specific Addendum.  Notwithstanding any provision herein, Awardee’s participation in the Plan shall be subject to any special terms and conditions as set forth in the Country-Specific Addendum for Awardee’s country of residence, if any.  The Country-Specific Addendum constitutes part of this Award Agreement.

This Country-Specific Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Stock Award granted to the Awardee under the Plan if the Awardee resides in one of the countries listed herein.

This Country-Specific Addendum also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Awardee should be aware with respect to the Awardee’s participation in the Plan.

As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Awardee not rely on the information in this Country-Specific Addendum as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Awardee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Awardee Vests in the Stock Award or sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Awardee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Awardee of a particular result.  Accordingly, the Awardee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Awardee’s country may apply to his or her situation.
Finally, if the Awardee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Awardee is currently working, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Awardee.

The Awardees may be entitled to revoke acceptance of the grant of the Stock Award on the basis of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (the “Austrian Act”) under the conditions listed below, if the Austrian Act is considered to be applicable to the grant of the Stock Award and the Plan:

(ii)    The revocation must be in written form to be valid.  Provided the revocation is sent within the period discussed above, it is sufficient if the Awardee returns the acceptance of the grant to the Company or the Company’s representative with language which can be understood as a refusal to conclude or honor the grant. 

Exchange Control.  In general, the Awardees should not be subject to any foreign exchange requirements in connection with the acquisition or sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan.  However, if the value of shares held abroad by an Awardee as of any given quarter exceeds €30,000,000, the Awardee must submit a quarterly report to the Austrian National Bank or if the value of shares exceeds €5,000,000 as of December 31 of each year, the Awardee must submit an annual report to the bank.

Further, if the proceeds are converted to local currency, the Awardee acknowledges that the Company (including its Subsidiaries) are under no obligation to secure any currency conversion rate, and may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency and transferring the proceeds to the Awardee due to exchange control and/or other regulatory restrictions in China.

The Awardee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

Responsibility for Taxes.  Section 7 (Responsibility for Taxes) of the Award Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“Regardless of any action the Company or the Awardee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, primary and secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (the “Tax-Related Items”), the Awardee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Awardee is and remains the Awardee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Stock Award, including the grant and vesting of the Stock Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Stock Award and the receipt of any dividends or other distributions, if any; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Stock Award to reduce or eliminate the Awardee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
The Awardee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to, in the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Employer, withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Awardee from the Awardee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Awardee by the Company and/or the Employer, within legal limits, or from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock.  Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may in its sole discretion (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock that the Awardee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares of Common Stock, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount.  If the obligation for the Awardee’s Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares of Common Stock as described herein, the Awardee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of this Stock Award.
Finally, the Awardee 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 as a result of the Awardee’s participation in the Plan or the Awardee’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock if the Awardee 

November 2015    RSU Standard-Employees    

fails to comply with the Awardee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.”
Joint Election.  As a condition of the Awardee’s participation in the Plan and the vesting of the Stock Award, the Awardee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 national insurance contributions (the “Employer NICs”) which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the Stock Award and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items.  To accomplish the foregoing, the Awardee agrees to execute a joint election with the Company (the “Election”), the form of such Election being formally approved by HMRC, and any other consent or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer NICs to the Awardee.  The Awardee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between him or her and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer.  The Awardee further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs by any of the means set forth in the Responsibility for Taxes section of the Award Agreement.

Regardless of any action the Company or Awardee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (the “Tax-Related Items”), Awardee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Awardee is and remains Awardee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Stock Award, including the grant and vesting of the Stock Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Stock Award and the receipt of any dividends or other distributions, if any; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Stock Award to reduce or eliminate Awardee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
Awardee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to, in the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Employer, withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Awardee from Awardee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Awardee by the Company and/or the Employer, within legal limits, or from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock.  Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may in its sole discretion (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock that Awardee acquires pursuant to this Stock Award to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares of Common Stock otherwise payable pursuant to this Stock Award, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount.
Finally, Awardee 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 as a result of Awardee’s participation in the Plan or Awardee’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Stock Award that is not satisfied by the means previously described.

Section 9.    Nature of the Award.  By accepting this Stock Award, Awardee acknowledges that:
(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement;
(b)    the grant of the Stock Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Award, or benefits in lieu of Stock Awards, even if Stock Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c)    all decisions with respect to future Stock Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(e)    participating in the Plan is voluntary;
(f)    the Stock Award is an extraordinary item that does not constitute recurring or on-going compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of Awardee’s employment contract, if any;
(g)    the Stock Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, 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 to the Company or the Employer;
(h)    in the event Awardee is not an employee of the Company, the Stock Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the Stock Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
(i)    the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty, and the Company makes no representation regarding such future value and is not responsible for any decrease in value or any foreign exchange fluctuations between Awardee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect such value;
(j)    if Awardee accepts the Stock Award and obtains shares of Common Stock, the value of those shares of Common Stock acquired may increase or decrease in value;
(k)    in consideration of the grant of the Stock Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Stock Award or diminution in value of the Stock Award or shares of Common Stock acquired under the Stock Award resulting from termination of Awardee’s employment by the Company or the Employer and Awardee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer 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, then, by signing this Award Agreement, Awardee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived Awardee’s entitlement to pursue such claim;

Responsibility for Taxes.  Section 7 (Responsibility for Taxes) of the Award Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“Regardless of any action the Company or the Awardee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, primary and secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (the “Tax-Related Items”), the Awardee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Awardee is and remains the Awardee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Stock Award, including the grant and vesting of the Stock Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Stock Award and the receipt of any dividends or other distributions, if any; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Stock Award to reduce or eliminate the Awardee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
The Awardee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to, in the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Employer, withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Awardee from the Awardee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Awardee by the Company and/or the Employer, within legal limits, or from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock.  Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may in its sole discretion (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock that the Awardee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares of Common Stock, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount.  If the obligation for the Awardee’s Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares of Common Stock as described herein, the Awardee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of this Stock Award.
Finally, the Awardee 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 as a result of the Awardee’s participation in the Plan or the Awardee’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock if the Awardee fails to comply with the Awardee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.”
Joint Election.  As a condition of the Awardee’s participation in the Plan and the vesting of the Stock Award, the Awardee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 national insurance contributions (the “Employer NICs”) which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the Stock Award and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items.  To accomplish the foregoing, the Awardee agrees to execute a joint election with the Company (the “Election”), the form of such Election being formally approved by HMRC, and any other consent or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer NICs to the Awardee.  The Awardee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between him or her and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer.  The Awardee further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs by any of the means set forth in the Responsibility for Taxes section of the Award Agreement.
