This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Ceridian HCM Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the above-named participant (the “Participant”), effective as of the above-designated grant date (the “Grant Date”). 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement, and capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has authorized and approved the grant of an Award to the Participant that will provide the Participant the opportunity to acquire shares of Common Stock (“Shares”) upon the settlement of stock units on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement (“Restricted Stock Units”). 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

	
1.
	
Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the above-designated number of Restricted Stock Units, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. 

 

	
2.
	
Vesting and Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows:

 

	
 
	
(a)
	
General. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b), 25% of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the last day of each three (3) month period commencing on the Date of Grant, subject to the Participant’s continued Service through the applicable vesting date.

	
 
	
(b)
	
Accelerated Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall fully vest upon a Change of Control or upon the death of the Participant, subject to the Participant’s continued Service through such date.

	
 
	
(c)
	
Termination of Service. All unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited upon the Participant’s termination of Service with the Company or its Subsidiaries for any reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shares (and any resulting proceeds) will continue to be subject to Section 12.2 (Termination for Cause) and 12.3 (Right of Recapture) of the Plan. 

 

	
3.
	
Settlement. The Company shall deliver to the Participant within forty-five (45) days following the vesting date of the Restricted Stock Units a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that vest as of such date. No fractional Shares shall be delivered; the Company shall pay cash in respect of any fractional Shares. The Company may deliver such shares either through book entry accounts held by, or in the name of, the Participant or cause to be issued a certificate or certificates representing the number of Shares to be issued in respect of the Restricted Stock Units, registered in the name of the Participant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Stock Units may be settled in the form of: (a) cash, to the extent settlement in Shares (i) is prohibited under applicable laws, (ii) would require the Participant or the Company to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Participant's country of residence  , or (iii) is administratively burdensome; or (b) Shares, but the Company may require the Participant to immediately sell such Shares if necessary to comply with applicable laws (in which case, the Participant hereby expressly authorizes the Company to issue sales instructions in relation to such Shares on the Participant's behalf).

 

	
4.
	
Responsibility for Taxes.

	
 
	
(a)
	
Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment and withholding of all income and other taxes attributable to Participant under this Agreement (the “Tax-Related Items”), and Participant shall timely remit all taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and any other required governmental agencies. The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that, during and after the Participant’s termination of Service, Participant will indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless from all taxes, interest, penalties, fees, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses and expenses arising from a failure or alleged failure to make the required reports and payments for income taxes.

 

	
 
	
(b)
	
Where the Company is required by local laws in the Participant’s country of residence to deduct or withhold any Tax-Related Items, then prior to the relevant taxable or taxable withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all such Tax-Related Items required to be withheld. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company, or its respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all such Tax-Related Items required to be withheld by one or a combination of the following:  

 

 

 

 

	
 
	
(i)
	
withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation, if any, paid to the Participant by the Company;

	
 
	
(ii)
	
withholding from the proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) including pursuant to a broker-assisted settlement;

	
 
	
(iii)
	
having the Company withhold Shares that the Participant otherwise would have received upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units; or

	
 
	
(iv)
	
any other arrangement satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of such Tax-Related Items.

 

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for any such Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates (as determined by the Company in good faith and in its sole discretion) or other applicable withholding rates.

 

	
 
	
(c)
	
Finally, where and to the extent that Section 4(b) is applicable, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company any number of Tax-Related Items that the Company  may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, or refuse to deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items required to be deducted or withheld by the Company.

 

	
5.
	
Adjustment of Shares. If there shall occur any change with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock as provided by Section 4.5 of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units may be adjusted accordingly.

 

	
6.
	
Compliance with Laws. If the Participant is resident outside of the United States, as a condition of participation, the Participant agrees to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan) in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence. In addition, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company as may be required to allow the Company to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence. Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant’s personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in his or her country of residence.

 

	
7.
	
Private Placement.  If the Participant is   resident outside of the United States, the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant’s country of residence. The Company has not submitted a registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the Restricted Stock Units are not subject to the supervision of local securities authorities.

 

	
8.
	
No Advice Regarding Participation. No employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries is permitted to advise the Participant regarding his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant should consult with his or her own qualified personal tax, legal and financial advisors before taking any action related to the Plan.

 

	
9.
	
Insider Trading and Market Abuse Laws: By participating in the Plan, the Participant agrees to comply with the Company’s policy on insider trading (to the extent that it is applicable to the Participant. The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant or the Participant’s broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in the Participant’s country of residence. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis), and (b) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include employees of the Company. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any restrictions and the Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

 

	
10.
	
Imposition of Other Requirements:  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Restricted Stock Units, any Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units and the Participant’s participation in the Plan to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

 

	
11.
	
Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan.

 

The Participant understands that the Company may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, family size, marital status, sex, beneficiary information, emergency contacts, passport/visa information, age, language skills, driver’s license information, nationality, C.V. (or resume), wage history, employment references, social insurance number, resident registration number or other identification number, salary, job title, employment or severance contract, current wage and benefit information, personal bank account number, tax-related information, plan or benefit enrollment forms and elections, award or benefit statements, any Shares or directorships in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlements to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding for purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).

The Participant understands that Data may be transferred to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (or any successor Plan Broker) and any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan including, but not limited to, the Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Company. These third-party recipients may be located in the Participant’s country of residence  or elsewhere, and the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Company's People and Culture Organization.  

 

The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’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 the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired. The Participant understands that Data only will be held as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan.  

 

The Participant understands that the Participant may, at any time, view Data, request additional 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 the Company's human resources department. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Participant’s service status and career will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Participant purchase rights or administer or maintain such purchase rights. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that the Participant may contact the Company's People and Culture Organization.

 

Finally, upon request of the Company, the Participant agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/ ) that the Company and/  may deem necessary to obtain from the Participant for the purpose of administering the Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country of residence  , either now or in the future. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she will be unable to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company.

COUNTRY ADDENDUM

 

This Country Addendum to the Agreement includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and the Participant’s participation in the Plan if the Participant resides and/or works outside of the United States. If the Participant transfers to another country reflected in this Country Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country (if any) will apply to the Participant to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons (or the Company may establish alternative terms as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Participant’s transfer). Capitalized terms not defined in this Country Addendum but defined in the Agreement or the Plan shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement or the Plan.

1.
	
Breach of Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Plan, the Participant will not be entitled to, and shall not claim any benefit (including without limitation a legal right) under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (or any successor provision), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits.

 

	
2.

The Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired through the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the resale of such Shares takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed.  

 

	
2.
	
Termination Date.  Notwithstanding any provisions in the Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the effective date of the Participant’s termination of Service for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units shall be the last day of any statutory notice of termination period required under applicable law.  

If the Participant is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), or is subject to taxation in Canada in respect of his or her RSUs, the following provisions apply: 

	
3.

Notwithstanding any provisions in the Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, prior to the date that is ten years after the applicable Grant Date (the “Expiry Date”), all or any number of vested RSUs held by such Participant may be converted by the Participant to Shares at the option of the Participant after each Vesting Date.  This right may be exercised by delivering an electronically executed notice of conversion (a “Conversion Notice”) in such form, manner and timeframe required by Ceridian.

Securities Law Notice.

 

WARNING: This is an offer of RSUs which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares provide the Participant with a stake in the ownership of the Company. the Participant may receive a return on any Shares acquired under the Plan if dividends are paid.

 

If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Participant will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid.  The Participant may lose some or all of his / her 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 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 Participant may not be given all the information usually required.  The Participant also will have fewer other legal protections for this investment. On this basis, the Participant should seek independent professional advice before acquiring any Shares under the Plan.

 

Prior to the vesting and settlement of the RSUs, the Participant will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting or dividend rights) with respect to the underlying Shares. 

No interest in any RSUs may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CDAY".  This means that if you acquire Shares under the Plan, the Participant may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers.  The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

 

The information on risk factors impacting the Company's business that may affect the value of the Shares, the Participant should refer to the risk factors discussion in 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 https://investors.ceridian.com/overview/default.aspx.

 

For more details on the terms and conditions of the RSUs, please refer to the Notice, the Plan and the U.S. prospectus for the Plan which are available on the Stock Plan Administrator’s website and free of charge on request via email to HCMStockEquityAward@Ceridian.com..

 

As noted above, the Participant should carefully read the materials provided before making a decision whether to participate in the Plan. The Participant also should contact his or her tax advisor for specific information concerning the Participant's personal tax situation with regard to Plan participation.

 

UNITED KINGDOM

 

	
1.
	
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 4 of the Agreement:

 

The Participant agrees to be liable for any Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay any such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by Ceridian or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Participant’s behalf.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision may not apply.  In such case, the Participant understands that the Participant may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Participant and, therefore, any such income tax not so collected from or paid by the Participant within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. The Participant acknowledges that the Company may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Agreement. However, the Participant is primarily responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime.

 

	
2.
	
Exclusion of Claim. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Participant ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan or from the loss of diminution in value of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units.

NOTIFICATION OF OPTION GRANT FOR PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK OF CERIDIAN HCM HOLDING INC.

pursuant to the Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”)

 

	
 
	
1.
	
 Option and Exercise Price.  When signed and returned by the above-named participant and countersigned by Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. (“Ceridian”), this Notice certifies that on the above-designated grant date (“Grant Date”), Ceridian granted to the above-named participant (“Optionee”) the option (the “Option”) to purchase, when vested and exercisable as described in this Notice and the Plan, all or any portion of the above-designated number of shares (“Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Stock”) of Ceridian, for the above-designated exercise price per Share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan (the “Exercise Price”).  The Exercise Price is equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.  The Option is governed by this Notice and the Plan (a copy of the Plan has been provided to Optionee).  Capitalized terms not defined in this Notice are defined in the Plan.  The Option is intended to be a Nonqualified Stock Option.  

 

	
 
	
2.
	
Time Based Vesting of Option and Acceleration of Vesting.  During the Option Period (as defined below), twenty-five percent (25%) of the Option will vest and become exercisable on the last day of each three (3) month period commencing on the Grant Date (each an “Option Vesting Date”), subject to Optionee's continued Service through the applicable Option Vesting Date.  Upon a Change of Control or upon Optionee's termination of Service due to death, the Option will become fully vested and exercisable.  Upon Optionee's termination of Service for any other reason, the unvested portion of the Option immediately and automatically will be forfeited without further consideration.

 

	
 
	
3.
	
Option Period and Forfeiture.  The Option expires ten years after the Grant Date, unless terminated earlier as follows (the “Option Period”):  (a) if Optionee’s Service terminates for Cause, the vested portion of the Option expires immediately; and (b) if Optionee’s Service terminates other than for Cause, the vested portion of the Option expires (i) 12 months following Optionee's termination of Service due to death or Disability, or (ii) 90 days following Optionee's termination of Service other than due to death or Disability; provided, the Option shall automatically expire in its entirety (whether or not vested) effective as of the date Optionee breaches the terms and conditions of the Plan or this Notice.  

 

	
 
	
4.
	
Exercise of Option.  Before the end of the Option Period, all or a portion of the vested portion of the Option can be exercised to acquire a whole number of Shares under the Plan by Optionee (or in the case of Optionee's termination of Service due to death or Disability, by Optionee's representative) by delivering an electronically executed notice of exercise (an "Exercise Notice") in such form, manner and timeframe required by Ceridian.  The Exercise Notice shall state the whole number of Shares under the Option being exercised and shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price for each such Option (collectively, the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) and any applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined below) required to be withheld (in such form of payment as permitted in Section 5) for each of those Shares, and contain Optionee’s agreement to comply with the terms of this Notice and the Plan.

 

	
 
	
5.
	
 Payment of Aggregate Exercise Price and Withholdings.  Optionee may pay the Aggregate Exercise Price and any applicable Tax-Related Items required to be withheld as follows:

 

	
 
	
a.
	
Cash or Check.  In cash or by bank certified check.

 

	
 
	
b.
	
Brokered Cashless Exercise.  To the extent permitted by applicable law and the Committee, from the proceeds of a sale through a broker on the date of exercise of some or all of the Shares to which the exercise relates.  In that case, Optionee will electronically execute an Exercise Notice and provide Ceridian's third-party Plan administrator with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to Ceridian the amount of sale proceeds to pay the Aggregate Exercise Price and/or applicable Tax-Related Items required to be withheld, as applicable.  To facilitate the foregoing, Ceridian may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enter into agreements or coordinate procedures with one or more brokerage firms.

 

Page 1

 

 

 

	
 
	
c.
	
Net Exercise.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option by the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price and any applicable Tax-Related Items required to be withheld. 

 

	
 
	
d.
	
Surrender of Stock.  In each instance, at the sole discretion of the Committee, by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares that are already owned by Optionee free and clear of any restriction or limitation, unless the Committee specifically agrees in writing to accept such Shares subject to such restriction or limitation.  Such Shares will be surrendered to Ceridian in good form for transfer and will be valued by Ceridian at their Fair Market Value on the date of the applicable exercise of the Option, or to the extent applicable, on the date any applicable Tax-Related Items required to be withheld are to be determined.  Optionee will not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or any applicable Tax-Related Items required to be withheld) if such action would cause Ceridian to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes that otherwise would not have been recognized.

 

For the sake of clarity, the Exercise Price is payable in United States dollars. 

 

	
 
	
6.
	
Issuance of Shares.  After all requirements with respect to the exercise of all or a portion of the Option have been satisfied, the Committee will cause the Shares as to which the Option or portion thereof has been exercised to be issued (or, in the Committee’s discretion, in un-certificated form, upon the books of Ceridian’s transfer agent), registered in the name of the person exercising the Option or portion thereof (or in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship).  Neither Ceridian nor the Committee will be liable to Optionee or any other person for damages relating to any delays in issuing the Shares or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the Shares.

 

	
 
	
7.
	
Tax Matters and Withholdings.  Optionee shall be solely responsible for the payment and withholding of all income and other taxes attributable to Optionee under this Agreement (the “Tax-Related Items”), and Optionee shall timely remit all taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and any other required governmental agencies.  Optionee further acknowledges and agrees that, during and after Optionee’s termination of Service, Optionee will indemnify, defend and hold Ceridian harmless from all taxes, interest, penalties, fees, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses and expenses arising from a failure or alleged failure to make the required reports and payments for income taxes.

 

Where Ceridian is required by applicable laws to deduct or withhold any Tax-Related Items, the prior to the relevant taxable or taxable withholding event, as applicable, Optionee agrees to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Ceridian to satisfy all such Tax-Related Items required to be withheld.  In this regard, Optionee authorizes Ceridian, or its respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all such Tax-Related Items required to be withheld by one or a combination of the following:  

 

	
 
	
•
	
requiring payment of any Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price;

 

	
 
	
•
	
withholding from Optionee’s fees or other cash compensation, if any, paid to Optionee by Ceridian;

 

	
 
	
•
	
withholding from the proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by Ceridian (on Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization);

 

	
 
	
•
	
having Ceridian withhold a number of whole Shares that Optionee otherwise would have received upon exercise of the Option; or

 

	
 
	
•
	
any other arrangement satisfactory to Ceridian regarding payment of such Tax-Related Items.

 

Depending on the withholding method, Ceridian may withhold or account for any such Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates (as determined by Ceridian in good faith and in its sole discretion) or other applicable withholding rates.

 

Finally, where and to the extent that withholding is required under this Section 7, Optionee agrees to pay to Ceridian any number of Tax-Related Items that Ceridian may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Ceridian may refuse to honor the exercise of the Option, or refuse to deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if Optionee fails to comply with Optionee's obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items required to be deducted or withheld by Ceridian. 

 

	
 
	
8.
	
Adjustments.  The Option will be subject to adjustments as provided in Section 4.5 of Plan.  

 

	
 
	
9.
	
Securities Law Restrictions.  Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Stock under the Plan have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, province or other jurisdiction, the Board of Directors, at its sole discretion, may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of the Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates and/or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act or the securities laws or other laws of any state, province or other jurisdiction.   Such restrictions may be in addition to the restrictions set forth in the applicable shareholders agreement in effect with any shareholders of Ceridian.

 

	
 
	
10.
	
Compliance with Laws. If Optionee is resident outside of the United States, Optionee agrees to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan) in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in Optionee’s country of residence. In addition, Optionee agrees to take any and all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by Ceridian, as may be required to allow Ceridian to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in Optionee’s country of residence. Finally, Optionee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with Optionee’s personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in Optionee's country of residence.

 

	
 
	
11.
	
Private Placement. If Optionee is resident outside the United States, the Option is not intended to be a public offering of securities in Optionee’s country of residence. Ceridian has not submitted a registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the Option is not subject to the supervision of local securities authorities.

12.
	
No Advice Regarding Participation. No employee of Ceridian or its Subsidiaries is permitted to advise Optionee regarding Optionee's participation in the Plan including the exercise or sale of Shares. Optionee should consult with Optionee's own qualified personal tax, legal and financial advisors before taking any action related to the Plan.

 

	
 
	
13.
	
Insider Trading and Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the Plan, Optionee agrees to comply with Ceridian’s policy on insider trading (to the extent that it is applicable to Optionee). Optionee acknowledges that, depending on Optionee or Optionee’s broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, Optionee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect Optionee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times Optionee is considered to have “inside information” regarding Ceridian as defined in the laws or regulations in Optionee’s country of residence. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Optionee placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, Optionee could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis), and (b) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include employees of Ceridian. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Ceridian insider trading policy. Optionee acknowledges that it is Optionee’s responsibility to comply with any restrictions and Optionee should consult with Optionee's personal advisor on this matter.

 

	
 
	
14.
	
Imposition of Other Requirements. Ceridian reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Option, any Shares acquired pursuant to the Option and Optionee’s participation in the Plan to the extent Ceridian determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring Optionee to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

 

	
 
	
15.
	
Personal Information.  Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Optionee's personal data as described in this Notice by and among, as applicable, Ceridian and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee's participation in the Plan.

 

Optionee understands that Ceridian may hold certain personal information about Optionee, including, but not limited to, Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, family size, marital status, sex, beneficiary information, emergency contacts, passport/visa information, age, language skills, driver’s license information, nationality, C.V. (or resume), fee history, professional references, social insurance number, resident registration number or other identification number, compensation, job title, Service or severance contract, current fee and benefit information, personal bank account number, tax-related information, plan election forms, award or benefit statements, any Shares or directorships in Ceridian, details of all awards or any other entitlements to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding for purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).  

 

Optionee understands that Data may be transferred to E*Trade (or any successor Plan broker) and any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan including, but not limited to, the Subsidiaries of Ceridian. These third-party recipients may be located in Optionee’s country of residence or elsewhere, and the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than Optionee’s country. Optionee understands that Optionee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Ceridian's People and Culture Organization.  

 

Optionee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’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 Optionee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired. Optionee understands that Data only will be held as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Optionee’s participation in the Plan.  

 

Optionee understands that Optionee may, at any time, view Data, request additional 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 Ceridian's People and Culture Organization. If Optionee does not consent, or if Optionee later seeks to revoke Optionee's consent, Optionee’s Service status and career will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Optionee’s consent is that Ceridian would not be able to grant Optionee Options or administer or maintain such Options. Therefore, Optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing Optionee's consent may affect Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Optionee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Optionee understands that Optionee may contact Ceridian's People and Culture Organization.

 

Finally, upon request of Ceridian, Optionee agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by Ceridian) that Ceridian may deem necessary to obtain from Optionee for the purpose of administering Optionee’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in Optionee’s country of residence, either now or in the future. Optionee understands and agrees that Optionee will be unable to participate in the Plan if Optionee fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by Ceridian.

b.
	
the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive any additional Options or equity awards in the future from Ceridian or any Affiliates, or affect in any way the right of Ceridian or any Affiliates to terminate the granting of stock options or other equity awards at any time;

d.
	
the grant of the Option and Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment with Ceridian, shall not be interpreted as forming an employment or Service contract with Ceridian and shall not interfere with the ability of Ceridian to terminate Optionee’s service relationship at any time (as otherwise may be permitted under local law); 

 

	
 
	
e.
	
Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; 

 

 

	
 
	
f.
	
the Option and any underlying Shares are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

 

	
 
	
g.
	
the grant of the Option and the underlying Shares are an extraordinary item of compensation and 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, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

j.

Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Ceridian, the Plan broker or another third party designated by Ceridian.

 

	
 
	
18.
	
Impact on Service Status or Other Compensation.  This Notice and the Plan are not an employment contract.  Nothing contained in the Option, this Notice or the Plan shall confer on Optionee any right to continue in the Service of Ceridian or any Subsidiary or other affiliate of Ceridian, or affect in any way the right of Ceridian or any Subsidiary or other affiliate to terminate the Service of Optionee at any time.  The Option is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any end of Service payments, retirement benefits or similar payments.

21.
	
Country Addendum; Interpretation of Terms; General.  The term “Country Addendum” means any document prepared by Ceridian and which refers to this Notice and contains additional Option terms to address matters pertaining to Optionee’s then current country of residence. If Optionee relocates to one of the countries included in the Country Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Optionee, to the extent Ceridian determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons (or Ceridian may establish alternative terms as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate Optionee’s transfer). The Country Addendum constitutes part of this Notice. The Committee shall interpret the terms of the Option, this Notice, the Plan and any Country Addendum, and all determinations by the Committee shall be final and binding.  Ceridian may, without Optionee’s consent, assign all of their respective rights and obligations under the Option to their respective successors and assigns.  Following an assignment to the successor of Ceridian, all references herein to the Board of Directors and Committee shall be references to the board of directors and committee, as applicable, of the successor of Ceridian.  This Notice, the Plan and any Country Addendum contain the complete agreement between Ceridian and Optionee concerning the Option, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (or the laws stated in an applicable Country Addendum), and may be amended only in writing, signed by an authorized officer of Ceridian.  Optionee will take all actions reasonably requested by Ceridian to enable the administration of the Option and Plan and/or comply with the local laws and regulations of Optionee’s then current country of residence.  No waiver of any breach or condition of this Notice, the Plan or a Country Addendum shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition whether of like or different nature.

 

	
 
	
22.
	
Additional Requirements.  Ceridian reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Option to the extent Ceridian determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Option and the Plan.  Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring Optionee to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

Any notices or other documents required to be delivered to Ceridian under this Notice, shall be translated into English, at Optionee’s expense, and provided promptly to Ceridian in English.  Ceridian may also request an untranslated copy of such documents.

 

	
 
	
24.
	
Severability. Optionee agrees that the provisions of this Notice 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.
