Acquisition Corporation, a British Virgin Islands business company (“East Stone”, the “Company”
or “SPAC”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A.  East
Stone will hold a special meeting of its shareholders (“Business Combination Meeting”) to consider and act upon, among
other things, a proposal (the “Acquisition Proposal”) to adopt and approve certain proposed transactions pursuant to
that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2021, as amended as of June 25, 2021, as amended and restated as
of September 13, 2021 as further amended and restated as of October 7, 2021 and November 12, 2021, and as may be further amended (the
“Business Combination Agreement”), by and among East Stone, JHD Holdings (Cayman) Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted
company (“JHD”), JHD Technologies Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), Yellow River
MergerCo Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”),
Navy Sail International Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company, in the capacity as the Purchaser Representative thereunder,
Yellow River (Cayman) Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company, in the capacity as the Seller Representative thereunder and the sole
holder of JHD’s outstanding capital shares (the “Primary Seller”), and each of the holders of JHD’s capital
shares that become parties to the Business Combination Agreement after the date thereof (such transactions, the “Business Combination”).

 

B. The
Sponsor and the Investors entered into that certain Share Transfer Agreement dated as of November 12, 2021, which, together with a Forward
Purchase Agreement by and among the parties dated November 12, 2021 (the “FPA”), provided that each of the Investors
would not redeem up to an aggregate of 974,658 ordinary shares (the “November 2021 Extension Shares”) issued in the
SPAC’s initial public offering that they held in order to support (i) the special meeting of shareholders held on November 24, 2021
(“November 2021 Extension Meeting”) to approve, among other things, a proposal (the “November 2021 Extension
Proposal”) to amend SPAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which East Stone
has to consummate a business combination from November 24, 2021 to February 24, 2022 (the “November 2021 Extension”)
and (ii) the consummation of the Business Combination by supporting the proposals put forward at the Business Combination Meeting.

 

C. In
the event that the SPAC believes it will not be able to consummate the Business Combination on or prior to February 24, 2022, SPAC intends
to hold a second special meeting of shareholders (the “February 2022 Extension Meeting”) to approve, among other things,
a proposal (the “February 2022 Extension Proposal”) to amend SPAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association to extend the date by which East Stone has to consummate a business combination (the “February 2022 Extension”)
from February 24, 2022 to August 24, 2022.

 

D.  The
parties now desire to enter into a new agreement relating to the February 2022 Extension, pursuant to which the Investors have agreed
not to seek redemption of [200,000] SPAC ordinary shares issued in the SPAC’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”)
upon the terms set forth therein.

 

     

     

    

 

IT IS AGREED:

 

1. Non-Redemption
and Voting. The Investors hereby agree not to request redemption of [200,000] Public Shares (the “February 2022 Extension
Shares”) at the February 2022 Extension Meeting and vote in favor of the February 2022 Extension Proposal.

 

2. Net
Long. During the term of this Agreement, each Investor agrees to maintain a net long position of the Company’s securities. If,
on the day that is three trading days prior to the Company’s February 2022 Extension Meeting, the Investors own fewer than [200,000]
Public Shares, the Investors shall purchase Public Shares at trust value, either in the open market or from the Public Shares tendered
for redemption, up to a number of Public Shares such that the Investors hold [200,000] Public Shares as of the time of the February 2022
Extension Meeting.

 

3. Insider
Stock Transfers. In consideration of the agreements set forth in Sections 1 and 2 hereof:

 

(a) The
Sponsor (or its designees) will transfer to the Investors an aggregate [60,000] of the Company’s ordinary shares (“Founder
Shares”) beneficially owned by it (or its designees) on or before the February 2022 Extension Meeting (“February 2022
Extension Meeting Date”).

 

(b) If
the Business Combination has not consummated by May 24, 2022, then for each monthly period from May 24, 2022 until August 24, 2022 that
the Business Combination has not closed (each such monthly period, a “Month”), 0.1 Founder Shares per Public Share
not redeemed by the Investors to be transferred by the Sponsor (or its designees), for an aggregate of up to 0.3 Founder Shares per share
for the full three month period. Such payment(s) shall be made within five (5) business days following each of May 24, 2022, June 24,
2022, and July 24, 2022, to the extent that the Business Combination has not closed by such dates.

 

(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the number of Founder Shares transferred to the Investors pursuant to this Section 3 shall not be subject

Shares to any person, (ii) concessions or “earn-out” triggers in connection with the negotiation of a Business Combination
Agreement, (iii) or any other modification, without the Investor’s prior written consent. The Founder Shares shall be re-issued
in the name of the Investors either in physical certificate form or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit
Withdrawal at Custodian) System, as directed by the Investors. The Sponsor hereby assigns to the Investors (x) its registration rights
pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2020, with respect to the Founder Shares being transferred

and general provisions), as if it were an original undersigned party thereto.

 

4.  Representations
of the Investors. The Investors hereby represent and warrant to the Sponsor that:

5.  Sponsor
Representations. The Sponsor hereby represents and warrants to the Investors that:

 

 (a) This Agreement
has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by it and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other

or the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K, in each case, by 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time
on the first Business Day immediately following the date that the Sponsor and Investors enter into this Agreement. Such public disclosure
shall disclose the name of the Investors as having entered into the Agreement.

 

(d) Compliance
with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by the Sponsor of this Agreement and the consummation by the Sponsor

(e) There
are no actions pending against the Sponsor or the Company, to the Sponsor’s or the Company’s knowledge, threatened against
the Sponsor or the Company, before (or, in the case of threatened actions, that would be before) any arbitrator or any governmental authority,
which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by the Investors of their obligations under
this Agreement.

 

6.  Disclosure;
Exchange Act Filings. Promptly after execution of this Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) reporting the execution of this Agreement. The parties to this
Agreement shall cooperate with one another to assure that such disclosure is accurate.

 

7.  Entire
Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and may be amended or modified only by written instrument signed by all parties. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not alter or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

 

8.  Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, including the conflicts
of law provisions and interpretations thereof. 

 

9.  Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery
of an executed signature page by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart
of this Agreement.

 

10.  Termination.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no force and effect
(i) if the Business Combination is not consummated by August 24, 2022 or (iii) if East Stone does not reach substantially similar non-redemption
or forward purchase agreements with other investors committing an aggregate of [600,000] ordinary shares. For the avoidance of doubt,
if the Business Combination is not consummated by August 24, 2022 the Investors shall not be required to forfeit or transfer any Founder
Shares already transferred to it pursuant to Section 3 herein.

 

11.  Remedies.
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
by the other party, money damages may be inadequate with respect to any such breach and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy
at law. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they may
be entitled at law or in equity, to seek injunctive relief and/or to compel specific performance to prevent breaches by the other party
hereto of any covenant or agreement of such other party contained in this Agreement.

 

12.  Binding
Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal
representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent
of the other party hereto.

 

    3

     

    

 

13. Most Favored Nation.
In the event the Sponsor enters into separate agreements with other investors in respect of the purchase of Public Shares, before or after
the execution of this Agreement, and subsequent non-redemption agreement, the Sponsor represents that the material terms of such other
agreements are no more favorable to such other investors thereunder than the terms of this Agreement are in respect of the Investors.
In the event that another investor is afforded any such more favorable terms than the Investors, the Sponsor shall promptly so inform
the Investors of such more favorable terms, and the Investors shall have the right to elect to have such more favorable terms included
herein, in which case the parties hereto shall promptly amend this Agreement to effect the same. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Sponsor
transfers or sells Founder Shares to another investor and that investor also executes a non-redemption agreement or forward share purchase
agreement substantially similar to this Agreement, the Investors shall be notified of such agreement and have the right to amend the terms
of this Agreement to match the more favorable terms and/or the Investors shall have the right elect to have such terms included herein

 

14. Indemnification.
The Sponsor and the Company (referred to as the “Indemnitors”) shall both agree to indemnify the Investors and their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (collectively referred to as the “Indemnitees”)
against, and hold them harmless of and from, any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including without limitation, reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket outside counsel fees, incurred as a result of any claim, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or arbitrative brought against the Sponsor or Company that makes any Investor a party, or brought against the Investors in relation to
this Agreement.

 

15. Notification.
The Sponsor and/or Company shall promptly notify the Investors of the occurrence of any event that would make any of the representations
and warranties of the Sponsor and/or Company untrue or incorrect at any time between the date of this Agreement and the consummation of
the Business Combination.

 

16. SEC Filings. None
of the Company’s reports and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as of their respective dates, contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

17. Trust
Fund Waiver. Each Investor acknowledges that East Stone has established a trust account (“Trust Account”) for the
benefit of East Stone’s public stockholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances
as described in the SEC Reports. Each Investor further acknowledges and agrees that East Stone’s sole assets consist of the cash
proceeds of East Stone’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and that substantially all of these proceeds
have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders. Each Investor (on behalf of itself and its affiliates)
hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account and any funds contained
therein for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Investors’ right to pursue a claim against the Company for (i)
legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account or (ii) specific performance or other equitable relief in connection
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so long as such claim would not affect East Stone’s ability
to fulfill its obligation to effectuate redemption of Public Shares as described in the SEC Reports.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and subject to the restrictions set forth in the FPA, nothing in this Section 17 shall be deemed to limit any Investor’s
right, title, interest or claim to any monies in connection with distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares
then held by such Investor pursuant to (i) any liquidation rights in the event that East Stone ceases all operations and dissolves the
Company prior to closing a Business Combination, or (ii) to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to distributions from the
Trust in connection with the Business Combination Meeting.

 

18. Inconsistent Agreements.
Investors hereby covenant and agree that, except for this Agreement and any other forward share purchase agreement that the Investor may
enter into with the SPAC, each (a) shall not enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting
trust with respect to the Public Shares and (b) shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect a proxy, consent or
power of attorney with respect to the Public Shares.

 

19. Covenants of Investors.
The Investors hereby: (a) agree to promptly notify the Company and Pubco to comply with relevant SEC disclosure requirements or to confirm
the fulfillment of the Investors' obligations pursuant to Section 2 herein, upon the reasonable request of the Company or Pubco, of the
number of any new securities acquired by the Investors after the date hereof until the closing of the Business Combination (any such new
securities being subject to the terms of this Agreement as “February 2022 Extension Shares” as though owned by the Investors
on the date hereof); provided that any such requests shall only be made from time to time as may be reasonably needed to effect the Extension
or the Business Combination, as the case may be; (b) agrees to permit Pubco and the Company to publish and disclose each Investor's identity,
ownership of the February 2022 Extension Shares and the nature of each Investor's commitments, arrangements and understandings under this
Agreement, and, if deemed appropriate by Pubco or the Company, a copy of this Agreement, in (i) the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement,
(ii) any Form 8-K or 6-K filed by the Company or Pubco with the SEC in connection with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination
Agreement and the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, and (iii) any other documents or communications provided by Pubco or the Company
to any governmental authority or to security holders of Pubco, in each case, to the extent required by the federal securities laws or
the SEC or any other securities authorities.

Exhibit 10.7
			
	THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON VESTING OF THIS AWARD WILL NOT BE RELEASED TO YOU UNTIL ALL APPLICABLE TAX-RELATED ITEMS HAVE BEEN COLLECTED FROM YOU OR HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN PROVIDED FOR.

AMAZON.COM, INC.
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 

TO:    <<Participant>>
You have been granted this restricted stock unit award (the "Award") by Amazon.com, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").  The Award represents an unsecured and unfunded promise of the Company to deliver Common Stock of the Company in the future subject to the fulfillment of the vesting conditions set forth in this Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.  
1.Introduction.  The terms of the Award are as set forth in this Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement including any country-specific terms in the Appendix hereto (the "Appendix") (together, this "Agreement") and in the Plan.  The Plan is incorporated into this Agreement by reference, which means that this Agreement is limited by and subject to the express terms and provisions of the Plan.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.  Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Plan.  The most important terms of the Award are summarized as follows:

2.Award Date:                                    

3.Number of Restricted Stock Units Subject to this Award:                                    
    
4.Vesting Schedule:  Subject to your continuous employment and the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 6 and 7, the Award will vest according to the following schedule: 

Vest Date            Number of Shares

The number of Restricted Stock Units, vesting schedule of the Restricted Stock Units, and Award Date with respect to this Award, all of which are accessible to you through your brokerage account with the Company’s designated brokerage firm (“the Designated Broker”), are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference if not set forth above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time you become an officer required to file reports pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, then with respect to any part of this Award that is then unvested, vesting shall in addition be contingent on and subject to satisfaction of such performance criteria for such performance period as the Plan Administrator shall establish with specific reference to this Award, and this Award shall be cancelled without the issuance of Common Stock if and to the extent any such performance criteria are not satisfied.

5.Conversion of Restricted Stock Units and Issuance of Shares.  Upon each vesting of the Award (each, a "Vest Date"), one share of Common Stock shall be issuable for each restricted stock unit that vests on such Vest Date (the “Shares”), subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.  Thereafter, the Company will transfer such Shares to you upon satisfaction of any required Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 9).  No fractional shares shall be issued under this Agreement.

6.Termination of Employment.  The unvested portion of the Award will terminate automatically and be forfeited to the Company immediately and without further notice upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of your employment with the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason (including as a result of death or disability), except to the extent that the Plan Administrator has provided for accelerated vesting in the event of death.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall accelerated vesting on death apply if, at the time of grant of this Award or at any time thereafter, you become employed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. No Shares shall be issued or issuable with respect to any portion of the Award that terminates unvested and is forfeited.
1

  
    For purposes of the Award, your employment will be considered terminated as of the date the Company determines you are no longer actively providing services to the Company or a Subsidiary (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, your right to continue to vest in the Award, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of "garden leave" or similar period mandated under employment laws, statutory laws, regulatory laws or common laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any). 
Unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, a transfer of employment or services between or among the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be considered a termination of employment.  Further, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise, including through policies it may adopt from time to time regarding part-time work arrangements or reduced work schedules, and except as otherwise required by local law, for purposes of this Award only, any reduction in your regular hours of employment to less than thirty hours per week is deemed a termination of your employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.  In case of termination of your employment for Cause or for a violation of the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics, the Award shall automatically terminate upon first notification to you of such termination, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise.  If your employment is suspended pending an investigation of whether you should be terminated for Cause or for a violation of the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics, all of your rights under the Award likewise may be suspended during the period of investigation.  The Plan Administrator, the Vice President of Human Resources, the Associate General Counsel, Labor and Employment, or any other officer of the Company delegated such authority by the Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Subsidiary or when your rights under the Award may be suspended pending an investigation of whether you should be terminated for Cause or a violation of the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics.
7.Leave of Absence and Change in Work Schedule.  Your rights under the Award in the event of a leave of absence or a change in your regularly scheduled hours of employment (other than a change addressed in Section 6 of this Agreement) will be affected in accordance with applicable Company policies, including its leave of absence policy and policies regarding part-time work arrangements or reduced work schedules, and this Agreement.  A copy of the Company's leave of absence policy or other applicable policies may be obtained by contacting the Company's stock plan administration team.

8.Right to Shares.  You shall not have any right in, to or with respect to any of the Shares (including any voting rights or rights with respect to dividends paid on the Common Stock) issuable under the Award until the Award is settled by the issuance of such Shares to you. 

9.Taxes.

(a)Responsibility for Taxes.  You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer (the "Employer"), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you or deemed by the Company or the Employer in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to you even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (collectively, "Tax-Related Items") is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount (if any) withheld by the Company or the Employer.  You further acknowledge that (i) neither the Company nor the Employer make any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award including without limitation, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of Shares issued pursuant to the Award; and (ii) the Company and the Employer do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Award Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b)Payment of Tax-Related Items.  Prior to any event in connection with the Award (e.g., vesting) that gives rise to a Tax-Related Items obligation, you must arrange for the satisfaction of such Tax -Related Items in a manner acceptable to the Company and the Employer.  

(i)By Sale of Shares.  Unless you choose to satisfy the Tax-Related Items by some other means in accordance with clause (ii) below, your acceptance of this Award constitutes your instruction and authorization to the Company and the Designated Broker to sell on your behalf a number of Shares from those Shares issued to you as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy your obligation for Tax-Related 
2

Items.  Such Shares will be sold on the day of the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items (e.g., a Vest Date) or as soon thereafter as practicable.  You will be responsible for all broker's fees and other costs of sale, and you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale.  The number of Shares sold may be determined by considering any applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, and to the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed your obligation for Tax-Related Items, the Company agrees to pay such excess in cash to you through payroll or otherwise as soon as practicable and you acknowledge that you have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares.  You further acknowledge that the Company or its designee is under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to satisfy your obligation for Tax-Related Items.  Accordingly, you agree to pay to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries including the Employer as soon as practicable, including through additional payroll withholding, any amount of the Tax -Related Items that is not satisfied by the sale of Shares described above.  

(ii)By Wire Transfer or Other Means.  At any time not less than five business days before any obligation for Tax-Related Items arises (e.g., a Vest Date), you may elect to satisfy your obligation for Tax-Related Items by delivering to the Company an amount that the Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the Tax-Related Items by wire transfer to such account as the Company may direct, or such other means as the Company may establish or permit.  If you have made an election to satisfy your obligation for Tax-Related Items by wire transfer or other means and, as determined by the Company, have not adequately funded the obligation for Tax-Related Items within five business days before a Vest Date for this Award or any other award of restricted stock units granted to you under the Plan, the Company reserves the right to satisfy your obligation for Tax-Related Items pursuant to the method described above in 9(b)(i).

(c)Right to Retain Shares or Cash.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver any Shares or the proceeds from the sale of Shares to you until the obligation for any Tax-Related Items due in connection with the Award has been satisfied.  To the extent permitted by law, the Company has the right to retain, without notice, from Shares issuable under the Award, Shares having a value sufficient to satisfy the Tax-Related Items.  Further, the Company or the Employer has the right to retain, without notice, from salary or other amounts payable to you, cash sufficient to satisfy the Tax-Related Items.  If your obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by the Company withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.  You agree to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means described in this Section 9.

10.Registration.  The Company currently has an effective registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Shares subject to the Award.  The Company intends to maintain this registration but has no obligation to do so.  If the registration ceases to be effective, you will not be able to transfer or sell Shares issued to you pursuant to the Award unless exemptions from registration under applicable securities laws are available.  Such exemptions from registration are very limited and might be unavailable.  You agree that any resale by you of the Shares issued pursuant to the Award shall comply in all respects with the requirements of all applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any other law, rule or regulation including, without limitation, applicable securities law and exchange control regulations for your country of residence, as all may be amended from time to time.  The Company shall not be obligated to either issue the Shares (or any benefit in lieu of the Shares) or permit the resale of any Shares if such issuance or resale would violate any such requirements.

11.Limitation on Rights; Nature of Grant.  By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Award, you acknowledge, understand and agree that: 

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; 

(b)the grant of the Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of awards or benefits in lieu of awards, even if awards have been granted in the past; 

(c)all determinations with respect to any future grants, of awards will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 

(d)your participation in the Plan is voluntary; 

3

(e)the Award and the Shares subject to the Award are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; 

(f)the Award and the Shares subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any benefits, severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; 

(g)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise as a consequence of your forfeiture of any unvested portion of the Award as a result of the termination of your employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any) and, in consideration of the grant of the Award to which you are otherwise not entitled, you irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Company, any Subsidiary or the Employer;  

(h)the future value of the Common Stock subject to the Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty, 

(i)neither the Plan, the Award nor the issuance of the Shares shall create a right to employment or be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer, the Company, or any Subsidiary and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, any Subsidiary or the Employer, as applicable, to terminate your employment at any time; 

(j)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefit evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award 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 Shares; and

(k)the following provisions apply to you only if you are providing services outside the United States:

(i)    notwithstanding subsection 11(f) hereof, the Award and the Shares subject to the Award are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and

(ii)    you acknowledge and agree that neither the Company or any Subsidiary nor the Employer shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any Shares issued upon settlement.

12.No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

13.Employee Data Privacy.  By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Award: 

(a)you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of any of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other restricted stock unit grant materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan; 

(b)you understand that the Company and the Employer may, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan, hold certain personal information about you, including but not limited to your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, and details of all awards or entitlements to Common Stock granted to you under the Plan or otherwise (“Data”); 

(c)you understand that Data will be transferred to, in electronic or other form, and stored by, a broker or stock plan service provider selected by the Company, to assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country.  You authorize the Company, the broker or stock plan services provider, and any other possible recipients that may

assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  

(d)you understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.

(e)you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis, and that if you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected, and the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you restricted stock units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards, and you therefore understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan; and

(f)    you understand that, if you reside outside of the United States, you may, at any time, request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data, request access to the 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 your human resources representative.

18.Appendix.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, the Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country set forth in the Appendix to this Agreement.  To the extent any provision in the Appendix is inconsistent with a provision in the body of this Agreement, the provision in the Appendix shall prevail.  Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.  

19.Compliance with Applicable Laws.  You acknowledge that, as a result of your participation in the Plan, you may have obligations under applicable securities, exchange control or other laws or regulations in effect in your country.  Without limitation, such obligations may include obligations to report your acquisition of Awards or Shares to local regulators, to repatriate proceeds from the sale of Shares and dividends (if any) to your home country, to engage a locally licensed intermediary to assist with transactions in the Shares, or to obtain licenses or approvals from local regulators prior to acquiring or selling Shares.  Further, depending on your country of residence, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions or market abuse laws, which may affect your ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., restricted stock units) under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in your country).  Any restrictions under these insider trading or market abuse laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. Neither the Company, the Employer, nor any Subsidiary will be liable for any fines or penalties that you may incur as a result of your failure to comply with any applicable laws.  You should be aware that securities, exchange control, insider trading and other laws may change frequently and often without notice.  You are hereby advised to confirm the legal obligations that may arise from your participation in the Plan with a qualified advisor.

21.Waiver.  You acknowledge 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 you or any other Participant.
