Except as set forth below, and subject to the discretion of the Administrator  to accelerate the following exercisability schedule, this Share Option shall be exercisable with respect to the following number of Option Shares on the dates indicated so long as the Optionee has continuously provided service to the Company or a Subsidiary as either a Consultant or, if converted to employee, then as an employee or Consultant, on such dates:

Version: June 2020

In determining the number of vested Option Shares at the time of any exercise, the number of Option Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole ADS or the nearest increment of 13 Ordinary Shares.
Once exercisable, this Share Option shall continue to be exercisable at any time or times prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and of the Plan.
2.Manner of Exercise.
(a)The Optionee may exercise this Share Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Share Option, the Optionee may give written notice to the Administrator of Optionee’s election to purchase some or all of the Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice.  This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased.
Payment of the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share may be made by one or more of the following methods:  (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) if permitted by the Administrator, through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of Ordinary Shares that have been purchased by the Optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the Optionee and are not then subject to any restrictions under any Company plan and that otherwise satisfy any holding periods as may be required by the Administrator; (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share as so provided, the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; (iv) if permitted by the Administrator, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share; or (v) a combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.  Payment instruments will be received subject to collection.
The transfer to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the Option Shares will be contingent upon (i) the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share, as set forth above, (ii) the fulfillment of any other requirements contained herein or in the Plan or in any other agreement or provision of law, and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Ordinary Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Share Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the Ordinary Shares will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  In the event the Optionee chooses to pay the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share by previously-owned Ordinary Shares through the attestation method (if permitted by the Administrator), the number of Ordinary Shares transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Share Option shall be net of the Ordinary Shares attested to.
(b)The Ordinary Shares purchased upon exercise of this Share Option shall be transferred to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such transfer and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan.  The determination of the Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee.  The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any Ordinary Shares subject to this Share Option unless and until this Share Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company or the transfer agent shall have transferred the Ordinary Shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Company.  Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such Ordinary Shares.

(c)The minimum number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which this Share Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 104 Ordinary Shares and shall be exercised in increments of 13 Ordinary Shares, unless the number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which this Share Option is being exercised is the total number of Ordinary Shares subject to exercise under this Share Option at the time.
(d)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Share Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
3.Termination of Service Relationship. 
a.If the Optionee ceases to be a Consultant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason other than to effect a conversion to employee status, and thereafter, if the Optionee’s employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason except as set forth in Paragraphs 3(c), 3(d) and 3(e) below, any portion of this Share Option outstanding on such date may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date the Optionee ceased to provide services, for a period of three months after the date the Optionee ceased to provide services or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.  Any portion of this Share Option that is not exercisable on the date the Optionee ceases to be a Consultant (or employee, if converted to employee status) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.  For the avoidance of doubt, service as a Consultant (or employee, if converted to employee status) during only a portion of the vesting period shall not entitle the Optionee to vest in a pro rata portion of unvested Share Options.
b.For purposes of this Share Option, the Optionee’s service relationship shall be considered terminated as of the date the Optionee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is rendering services or the terms of the Optionee’s service agreement, if any) and such date will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the date would not be delayed by any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is rendering services or the terms of the Optionee’s service agreement, if any).  The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively rendering services for purposes of the Share Option (including whether the Optionee may still be considered to be rendering services while on a leave of absence).
In the event that the Consultant converts to employee status, then the following additional provisions shall apply:
c.Termination Due to Death.  If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of the Optionee’s death, any portion of this Share Option outstanding on such date, to the extent exercisable on the date of death, may be exercised by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee for a period of 12 months after the date of death or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.  Any portion of this Share Option that is not exercisable on the date of death shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
d.Termination Due to Disability.  If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of the Optionee’s disability (as determined by the Administrator), any portion of this Share Option outstanding on such date, to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination of employment, may be exercised by the Optionee for a period of 12 months after the date of disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.  Any portion of this Share Option that is not exercisable on the date of disability shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
e.Termination for Cause.  If the Optionee’s employment terminates for Cause, any portion of this Share Option outstanding on such date shall terminate immediately and be of no further force and effect.  For purposes hereof, “Cause” shall mean, unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and the Optionee, a determination by the Administrator that the Optionee 
Version: June 2020
        3

shall be dismissed as a result of (i) any material breach by the Optionee of any agreement between the Optionee and the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii) the conviction of, indictment for or plea of nolo contendere by the Optionee to a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; or (iii) any material misconduct or willful and deliberate non-performance (other than by reason of disability) by the Optionee of the Optionee’s duties to the Company or any Subsidiary.
The Administrator’s determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s employment shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and Optionee’s representatives or legatees.
4.Incorporation of Plan.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Share Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan.  
5.Transferability.  This Agreement is personal to the Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  This Share Option is exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee, and thereafter, only by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee.
6.Responsibility for Taxes.  The Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary for which the Optionee renders services (the “Service Recipient”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other taxrelated items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient.  The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Share Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Share Option, the subsequent sale of Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) does not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Share Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Optionee is or becomes subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former Service Recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
a.Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company (or its designated agent) to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares acquired upon exercise of this Share Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent).  As of the date hereof, the Optionee certifies that this Agreement is entered into in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act or any other securities laws.   
b.Alternatively, the Company and/or the Service Recipient, or their respective agents, at their discretion, are authorized to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by (i) withholding from the Optionee’s cash compensation payable to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Service Recipient; or (ii) withholding from Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Optionee upon exercise of this Share Option; or (iii) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that that if the Optionee is an officer of the Company under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then Tax-Related Items, if any, shall be withheld as described in subsection (a) of this Paragraph 6.  
Version: June 2020
        4

c.Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or the Service Recipient may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Optionee 's jurisdiction(s).  In the event of over-withholding, the Optionee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Ordinary Shares), or if not refunded, the Optionee may seek a refund from local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Optionee may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Service Recipient.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding from Ordinary Shares, for tax purposes, the Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Ordinary Shares subject to the this Share Option, notwithstanding that a number of the Ordinary Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
d.While this Agreement is in effect, the Optionee agrees (i) not to enter into or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the securities covered by this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to any securities convertible or exchangeable into Ordinary Shares) and (ii) not to attempt to exercise any influence over how, when or whether to effect the withholding and sale of Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Paragraph 6.  The Optionee agrees to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Ordinary Shares, or the proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares, if the Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
7.No Obligation to Continue as a Consultant or Service Provider.  Neither the Plan nor this Share Option confers upon the Optionee any rights with respect to continuance as a Consultant or other service provider to the Company or a Subsidiary, and if the Consultant converts to employee status, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Optionee in employment and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Service Recipient to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time.  
8.Integration.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Share Option and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
9.Nature of Grant.  In accepting the Share Option, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
a.the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
b.the grant of this Share Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Share Options, or benefits in lieu of Share Options, even if Share Options have been granted in the past;

d.the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

h.this Share Option and any Ordinary Shares subject to this Share Option, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
i.the future value of the Ordinary Shares underlying this Share Option is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;
j.if the Ordinary Shares do not increase in value after the Grant Date, this Share Option will have no value;
k.no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of this Share Option resulting from the termination of the Optionee’s service relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is providing services or the terms of the Optionee’s service agreement, if any);
l.unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, this Share Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have this Share Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Ordinary Shares; and
m.neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of this Share Option or of any amounts due to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of this Share Option or the subsequent sale of any Ordinary Shares acquired upon exercise.

13.Waivers.  The Optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Optionee or any other Optionee.

APPENDIX
GLOBAL NON-QUALIFIED SHARE OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT
FOR NON-EMPLOYEE CONSULTANTS
UNDER BEIGENE, LTD.
2016 SHARE OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and/or the Global Non-Qualified Share Option Award Agreement for Non-Employee Consultants.
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Share Options if the Optionee works and/or resides in one of the countries listed below.  If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or the Optionee transfers to a different country after the Share Options are granted, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will apply to the Optionee. 
Notifications 
This Appendix also includes information regarding certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of May 2020.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out-of-date at the time the Optionee exercises the Share Options or sells any Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan.  
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation.  As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of any particular result.  Accordingly, the Optionee is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Optionee’s country may apply to the Optionee’s individual situation.
If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or if the Optionee transfers to a different country after the Share Option is granted, the notifications contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to the Optionee in the same manner.
DATA PRIVACY PROVISIONS

CONSULTANTS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”) / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”) / UNITED KINGDOM

(a)Data Collection, Processing and Usage.  The Company collects, processes, and uses certain personally-identifiable information about the Optionee; specifically, including the Optionee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Ordinary Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Share Options or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Optionee or the Service Recipient. In granting the Share Options under the Plan, the Company will collect the Optionee’s personal data for purposes of allocating Ordinary Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  The Company collects, processes and uses the Optionee’s personal data pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing the Plan and generally administering equity awards and to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of the Agreement.  
Version: June 2020
        10

(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider.  The Company transfers participant data to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC and certain of its affiliates ("MSSB"), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share the Optionee’s personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner.  MSSB will open an account for the Optionee to receive and trade Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan.  The Optionee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with MSSB, which is a condition to the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.

(c)International Data Transfers.  The Company and MSSB are based in the People's Republic of China and the United States, respectively.  The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to the Optionee if the Optionee’s personal data is transferred to the Company and MSSB.  The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Optionee’s personal data is to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of the Agreement and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.

(d)Data Retention.  The Company will use the Optionee’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws.  This means the Company may retain the Optionee 's personal data after the Optionee's service relationship has terminated.  When the Company no longer needs the Optionee’s personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems to the fullest extent practicable.  If the Company keeps the Optionee’s data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.

(e)Data Subjects Rights.  The Optionee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Optionee’s country of residence.  For example, the Optionee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Optionee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Optionee’s personal data.  To receive clarification regarding the Optionee’s rights or to exercise the Optionee’s rights, the Optionee should contact the Company’s human resources department.

CONSULTANTS OUTSIDE THE EU/EEA/UNITED KINGDOM

The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Optionee’s consent.
ii.Stock Plan Administration Service Providers.  The Company will transfer Data to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC and certain of its affiliates ("MSSB"), which are assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  The Company may select different or additional service providers in the future and share Data with such other provider(s) serving in a similar manner.  The Optionee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with MSSB, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan. 
iii.International Data Transfers.  The Company and MSSB are based in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") and the United States, respectively.  The Optionee’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the PRC or the United States.  The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is the Optionee’s consent.

NEW ZEALAND
Notifications
Securities Law Information.  The Optionee is being offered a Share Option which, if vested, will entitle the Optionee to acquire Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Plan.  The Ordinary Shares, if issued, will give the Optionee a stake in the ownership of the Company.  The Optionee may receive a return if dividends are paid.
If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Optionee will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares (if any) have been paid.  The Optionee may lose some or all of the Optionee’s investment, if any.
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 Optionee may not be given all the information usually required.  The Optionee will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.  The Optionee is advised to ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.
The Ordinary Shares (in the form of ADSs) are quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.  This means that if the Optionee acquires Ordinary Shares under the Plan, the Optionee may be able to sell the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market if there are interested buyers.  The Optionee may get less than the Optionee invested.  The price will depend on the demand for the Ordinary Shares.
For information on risk factors impacting the Company’s business that may affect the value of the Ordinary Shares, the Optionee should refer to the risk factors discussion on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at www.sec.gov, as well as on the Company’s “Investor Relations” website at http://ir.beigene.com/.

Furthermore, the Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and in its sole discretion decided to grant Share Options under the Plan to individuals who may be Consultants to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries throughout the world.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or any Subsidiary, other than to the extent set forth in the Agreement.  Consequently, the Optionee understands that the Share Option is offered on the assumption and condition that the Share Option and any Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan are not part of any service contract (either with the Company or any Subsidiary), and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation), or any other right whatsoever.  In addition, the Optionee understands that this offer would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Optionee acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of or right to the Share Option shall be null and void.

(i)    “Cause” means the termination by the Company of Awardee’s Service for any of the following reasons:  (a) the continued, unreasonable refusal or omission by the Awardee to perform any material duties required of him or her by the Company if such duties are consistent with duties customary for the position held with the Company; (b) any material act or omission by the Awardee involving malfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of the Awardee’s duties to, or material deviation from, any of the policies or directives of, the Company; (c) conduct on the part of the Awardee which constitutes the breach of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company; including the unauthorized disclosure of material confidential information or trade secrets of the Company; or (d) any illegal act by the Awardee which materially and adversely affects the business of the Company or any felony committed by the Awardee, as evidenced by conviction thereof, provided that the Company may suspend the Awardee with pay while any allegation of such illegal or felonious act is investigated.  In the event that the Awardee is a party to an employment agreement or other similar agreement with the Company or any Affiliate that defines a termination on account of “Cause” (or a term having similar meaning), such definition shall apply as the definition of a termination on account of “Cause” for purposes hereof, but only to the extent that such definition provides the Awardee with greater rights.  A termination on account of Cause shall be communicated by written notice to the Awardee, and shall be deemed to occur on the date such notice is delivered to the Awardee.
(ii)    “Constructive Termination” shall mean a termination of the Awardee’s Service within sixty (60) days following the occurrence of any one or more of the following events without the Awardee’s written consent: (i) any material reduction in overall responsibilities, base compensation, annual incentive compensation opportunity, aggregate employee benefits or (ii) a change of the Awardee’s location of employment by more than fifty (50) miles.  In the event that the Awardee is a party to an employment agreement or other similar agreement with the Company or any Affiliate (or a successor entity) that defines a termination on account of “Constructive Termination,” “Good Reason” or “Breach of Agreement” (or a term having a similar meaning), such definition shall apply as the definition of “Constructive Termination” for purposes hereof in lieu of the foregoing, but only to the extent that such definition provides the Awardee with greater rights.  A Constructive Termination shall be communicated by written notice to the Administrator, and shall be deemed to occur on the date such notice is delivered to the Administrator, unless the circumstances giving rise to the Constructive Termination are cured within thirty (30) days of such notice.

(B)    Vesting Upon Death or Disability.  Notwithstanding Section 2.3 above, if Awardee’s Continuous Service ceases due to Awardee’s death or disability (as defined in the Plan), then a Pro-Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Stock Units shall become vested effective as of each Vesting Date.  Within ten (10) business days following the date on which the Award vests in a Stock Unit as set forth herein, the Company shall deliver to the Awardee one Share for each Stock Unit in which the Award becomes vested and such Stock Unit shall terminate.  No transfer by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution nor any Stock Units that vest by reason of Awardee’s death shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice of such transfer and a copy of the will or such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer. “Pro-Rata Portion” shall be determined by (A) multiplying the number of Stock Units specified for each Vesting Date (determined without regards to termination of Awardee’s Continuous Service due to Awardee’s death or disability (as defined in the Plan)) by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months of Awardee’s Continuous Service from the Date of Grant until the date of termination of Continuous Service, and the denominator of which is the number of full months from the Date of Grant until the applicable Vesting Date.
2.6    Effect of Awardee’s attainment of age 62 and the completion of 10 years of Continuous Service.  Notwithstanding Section 2.3 to the contrary, if, after August 15, 2021, and before August 15, 2023, Awardee both (i) attains age sixty-two (62) and (ii) completes ten (10) years of Continuous Service (“Retirement Event”), then, notwithstanding that there is a termination of Continuous Service following the Retirement Event, all unvested Stock Units shall vest on the Vesting Dates set forth above, provided that the Awardee continues to comply with any covenants that survive the termination of Continuous Service, including, without limitation, the covenants set forth in Section 3.  In that event, within ten (10) business days following any Vesting Date, the Company shall deliver to the Awardee one Share for each Stock Unit in which the Award becomes vested and such Stock Unit shall terminate.  
2.7    Adjustments to Stock Units.  Upon or in contemplation of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend; any merger, combination, consolidation or other reorganization; any split-up, spin-off, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution in respect of the Common Stock (whether in the form of securities or property); any exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common Stock; or a sale of substantially all the assets of the Company as an entirety; then the Company shall, in such manner, make appropriate adjustments in the number of Stock Units subject to this Agreement and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of such Stock Units, as provided in Section 3.5 of the Plan
2.8    No Rights as a Stockholder Before Delivery.  The Awardee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Awardee.  The rights of Awardee with respect to the Stock Units shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the date on which such rights become vested, and the restrictions with respect to the Stock Units lapse, in accordance with Sections 2.3 or 2.5.
2.9    Compliance with Laws.  The Award and the offer, issuance and delivery of securities under this Agreement are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities laws) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith.  The Awardee will, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.  The Company will cause such action to be taken, and such filings to be made, so that the grant hereunder shall comply with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or the principal stock exchange on which shares of the Company’s Common Stock are then listed for trading.

2.10    Tax Matters.
(a)    In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Awardee, are withheld or collected from Awardee.
(b)    The Company shall reasonably determine the amount of any federal, state, local or other income, employment, or other taxes which the Company or any of its affiliates may reasonably be obligated to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting, or other event with respect to the Stock Units.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock in connection with the vesting of the Stock Units at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (determined as of the date of measurement of the amount of income subject to such withholding) to satisfy the minimum amount of any such withholding obligations that arise with respect to the vesting of such Stock Units.  The Company may take such action(s) without notice to the Awardee, and the Awardee shall have no discretion as to the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in such manner.  If, however, any withholding event occurs with respect to the Stock Units other than upon the vesting of such Stock Units, or if the Company for any reason does not satisfy the withholding obligations with respect to the vesting of the Stock Units as provided above in this Section 2.10(b), the Company shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Awardee and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Awardee the minimum amount of any such withholding obligations.
(c)    The Stock Unit evidenced by this Agreement, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Awardee in settlement of vested Stock Units, is intended to be taxed under the provisions of Section 83 of the Code, and is not intended to provide and does not provide for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A(d) of the Code.  Therefore, the Company intends to report as includible in the Awardee’s gross income for any taxable year an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Units that vest (if any) during such taxable year, determined as of the date such Stock Units vest.  In furtherance of this intended tax treatment, all vested Stock Units shall be automatically settled and payment to the Awardee shall be made as provided in Section 2.3 hereof, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the calendar year in which such Stock Units vest.  The Awardee shall have no power to affect the timing of such settlement or payment.  The Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement, without the Awardee’s consent, to the extent it reasonably determines from time to time that such amendment is necessary in order to achieve the purposes of this Section.
2.11    Company “Clawback Policy.”  The Company has developed a policy providing that, in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws based upon and to the extent of such noncompliance or otherwise erroneous data or the Company determines there has been a significant misconduct that causes financial or reputational harm, the Company shall recover a portion or all of any incentive compensation (including stock grants) (the “Clawback Policy”).  Awardee agrees and acknowledges that the provision of the Company’s Clawback Policy, as the same may be amended from time to time, shall apply to Awardee.  The Stock Units granted under this Agreement shall be subject to the Company’s Clawback Policy, including, without limitation, the rights of the Company to enforce Awardee’s repayment obligation.
2.12    Conflict of Provisions.  The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan.  In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative.
2.13    Assignment.  Awardee shall have no right, without the prior written consent of the Company, to (i) sell, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer any interest or right created hereby, or (ii) delegate his or her duties or obligations under this Agreement.  This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the 

– 4 –

parties hereto, and no other person, partnership, association or corporation shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.
2.14    Restrictions on Transfer.  The Restricted Stock Units and any rights under this Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by Awardee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Awardee may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of Awardee and receive any property distributable with respect to the Restricted Stock Units upon the death of Awardee.
2.15    Restrictions on Resale.  The Awardee agrees not to sell any shares that have been issued pursuant to the vested Stock Units at a time when applicable laws, company policies, or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale.  This restriction shall apply as long as the Awardee is providing Service and for such period after the Awardee’s termination of Service as the Administrator may specify. 
2.16    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Plan 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 the Awardee with respect to the 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments made pursuant to Section 2.10(b) hereof may be effectuated solely by the Company.
2.17    No Guarantee of Continued Service.  This Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder, and the vesting schedule set forth herein constitute neither an express nor implied promise of continued engagement of Awardee as a provider of Service for the vesting period, for any period, or at all, and shall not interfere with Awardee’s right or the Company’s right to terminate Awardee’s Service at any time, with or without Cause, subject to any other written employment agreement to which the Company and Awardee may be a party.
2.18    Severability.  Should any provision or portion of this Agreement be held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions and portions of this Agreement shall be unaffected by such holding.
2.19    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to choice of law principles, as to all matters, including, but not limited to, matters of validity, construction, effect or performance.
2.20    Notice.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and effective (i) when delivered by hand, (ii) when otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, or (iii) three (3) business days after being mailed if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.  Any notice shall be addressed to the parties as follows or at such other address as a party may designate by notice given to the other party in the manner set forth herein:

2.22    Section Headings. The section headings of, and titles of paragraphs and subparagraphs contained in, this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only, and they neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation thereof.
2.23    Waiver.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.  No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.
2.24    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement and any party hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Awardee and the Company at such time as the Agreement, in counterpart or otherwise, is executed by Awardee and the Company.
3.    RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.  This Section shall apply if Awardee’s Continuous Service is terminated following a Retirement Event and any Stock Units of the Awardee continue to vest in accordance with Section 2.6.  Nothing in this Section 3 shall in any way limit or eliminate any other restrictions or obligations to which Awardee may be subject following the termination of Awardee’s Continuous Service:
3.1    Non-Competition.  The Awardee shall not, without the Board’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly engage in, have any equity interest in, or assist, manage or participate in (whether as a director, officer, employee, agent, representative, security holder, consultant or otherwise) any Competitive Business; provided, however, that: (i) the Awardee shall be permitted to acquire a passive stock or equity interest in such a Competitive Business provided the stock or other equity interest acquired is not more than 5% of the outstanding interest in such a Competitive Business; and (ii) the Awardee shall be permitted to acquire any investment through a mutual fund, private equity fund or other pooled account that is not controlled by the Awardee and in which the Awardee has less than a 5% interest.   For purposes of this provision, the term “Competitive Business” a business or businesses activity which is the same as, substantially similar to, or in competition with, business of the Company.
3.2    Non-Solicitation.  The Awardee will not, directly or indirectly, recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any non-clerical employee, director, consultant, customer, vendor or supplier of the Company to terminate his, her or its employment or arrangement with the Company or otherwise change his, her or its relationship with the Company.
3.3    Confidentiality.  The Awardee shall maintain in confidence and shall not directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for his or her benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company, including, without limitation, information with respect to the Company’s operations, processes, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, business plans, designs, marketing or other business strategies, compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment, or deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets.

Section 1514A(a) or any similar state or federal law providing “whistleblower” protection to the Awardee.
