RSU AWARD ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT

 

I hereby agree to the terms and conditions governing the RSU Award as set forth in the RSU Award Agreement, this RSU Award Acceptance Agreement and as supplemented by the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.

 

In accepting the RSU Award, I hereby acknowledge that:

 

(a)                                 The Plan is established voluntarily by Toro, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by Toro at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan, the RSU Award Agreement or this RSU Award Acceptance Agreement;

 

(b)                                 The grant of the RSU Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future RSU Awards, or benefits in lieu of RSU Awards, even if RSU Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

 

(c)                                  All decisions with respect to future RSU Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Toro;

 

(d)                                 I am voluntarily participating in the Plan;

 

(e)                                  The RSU Award is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to Toro or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of my employment contract, if any;

 

(f)                                   The RSU Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for Toro or the Employer;

 

(g)                                  In the event I am not an employee of Toro, the RSU Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with Toro; and furthermore, the RSU Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with Toro;

 

(h)                                 The future value of the Award Shares subject to the RSU Award is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and if the RSU Award vests and the Award Shares become issuable in accordance with the terms of the RSU Award Agreement and this RSU Award Acceptance Agreement, the value of those Award Shares may increase or decrease;

 

(i)                                     In consideration of the grant of the RSU Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the RSU Award or diminution in value of the RSU Award or Award Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSU Award resulting from termination of my employment or service by Toro or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws) and I hereby irrevocably release Toro and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such

 

6

 

claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by acceptance of the RSU Award, I shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived my entitlement to pursue such claim;

 

(j)                                    In the event of termination of my employment or other service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), my right to receive the RSU Grant and vest in the RSU Grant under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date of termination of my active employment or other service as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and will not be extended by any notice of termination of employment or severance period provided to me by contract or practice of Toro or the Employer or mandated under local law; furthermore, in the event of termination of my employment or other service (regardless of any contractual or local law requirements), my right to vest in the RSU Award after such termination, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of my active employment or other service and will not be extended by any notice of termination of employment or severance period provided to me by contract or practice of Toro or the Employer or mandated under local law;  the Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the date of termination of my active employment or other service for purposes of the RSU Award;

 

(k)                                 Neither Toro nor the Employer is providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is Toro or the Employer making any recommendations regarding my participation in the Plan, my acceptance of the RSU Award, my acquisition of the Award Shares upon vesting of the RSU Award or any sale of the Award Shares; and

 

(l)                                     I have been advised to consult with my own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding my participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

 

I hereby acknowledge that I have received electronically a copy of the Plan, the U.S. Prospectus relating to the Plan and Toro’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.  I hereby agree to accept electronic delivery of copies of any future amendments or supplements to the U.S. Prospectus or any future Prospectuses relating the Plan and copies of all reports, proxy statements and other communications distributed to Toro’s security holders generally by email directed to my Toro email address.

 

Note:  If you do not wish to accept the RSU Award on the terms stated in the RSU Award Agreement or this RSU Award Acceptance Agreement, please immediately contact Toro’s Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel or Managing Director, HR & Total Rewards, as applicable, to decline the grant.
