but immediately upon such purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposal of the RSUs will be forfeited
by the Grantee and all of the Grantee’s rights to such RSUs shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration
from the Company.

 

8. Restrictive Covenants. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, by accepting the RSUs, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee
is bound by the following restrictive covenants (the “Restrictive Covenants”):

 

(a) Except to the extent (1) expressly authorized
in writing by the Company or (2) required by law or any legal process, the Grantee shall not at any time during the Grantee’s
Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates or following the date the Grantee’s Employment terminates use, disseminate,
disclose or divulge to any person or to any firm, corporation, association or other business entity, Confidential Information (as
defined in Section 20 herein) or proprietary Trade Secrets (as defined in Section 20 herein) of the Company or any of its Affiliates;

 

(b) The Grantee shall not at any time during
the Grantee’s Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates or following the date the Grantee’s Employment terminates
make any derogatory, disparaging or negative statements, orally, written or otherwise, against the Company or any of its Affiliates
or any of their respective directors, officers and employees;

 

(c) During the Restricted Period (as defined
in Section 20 herein), the Grantee shall not become employed in any capacity by, or become an officer, employee, director, agent,
consultant, shareholder or partner of, or perform any services for, or otherwise hold an interest (other than the ownership of
less than 5% of the stock or other equity interests of a publicly traded firm or corporation) in, any Competitor (as defined in
Section 20 herein) of the Company or any of its Affiliates;

 

(d) During the Restricted Period, the Grantee
shall not directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit or hire, attempt
to solicit or hire, or assist any other person in soliciting or hiring any employee, agent or contractor of the Company or any
of its Affiliates or induce any employee, agent or contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate his or her or
her Employment or cease doing business with the Company or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever; and

 

(e) During the Restricted Period, the Grantee
shall not directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, including any Competitor
of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (1) engage in any business transaction or relationship or perform any services in any
material way competitive with the Company or any of its Affiliates with or for a client or prospective client of the Company or
any of its Affiliates or (2) interfere with any business relationship between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any client
or prospective client of the Company or any of its Affiliates or induce any client or prospective client to discontinue any business
relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates or to refrain from entering into a business relationship or transaction
with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

     

     

    

 

The Restrictive Covenants are in addition
to and do not supersede any rights the Company or any of its Affiliates may have in law or at equity or under any other agreement.

 

By accepting the RSUs, the Grantee shall
further agree that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to the Company or any of its Affiliates in
the event the Grantee breaches the Restrictive Covenants. Therefore, if the Company or any of its Affiliates shall institute any
action or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, the Grantee shall agree to waive the claim or defense that the Company or
any of its Affiliates has an adequate remedy at law and the Grantee shall agree not to assert in any such action or proceeding
the claim or defense that the Company or any of its Affiliates has an adequate remedy at law.

 

If at any time the Committee reasonably
believes that the Grantee has breached any of the Restrictive Covenants described in Sections 8(a) through 8(e), the Committee
may suspend the vesting of Grantee’s RSUs pending a good faith determination by the Committee of whether any such Restrictive
Covenant has been breached, it being understood that such suspension shall not cause the settlement to be delayed beyond the last
date that settlement may occur pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof. If the Committee determines in good faith that the Grantee has
breached any such Restricted Covenants, the Grantee shall immediately forfeit any outstanding unvested RSUs and shall repay to
the Company, upon demand, any Common Stock or cash issued upon the settlement of the Grantee’s RSUs if the vesting of such
RSUs occurred during such breach. The Grantee shall also be required to repay to the Company, in cash and upon demand, any proceeds
resulting from the sale or other disposition (including to the Company) of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Grantee’s
RSUs if the sale or disposition was effected at any time during such breach.

 

The foregoing shall not prejudice the Company’s
right to require the Grantee to account for and pay over to the Company on a pre-tax basis any profit obtained by the Grantee as
a result of any transaction constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants.

 

9. Taxes.

 

(a) Liability for Tax-Related Items.
Except to the extent prohibited by law, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is ultimately liable and responsible for any
and all income taxes (including federal, state, local and other income taxes), social insurance, payroll taxes and other tax-related
withholding (the “Tax-Related Items”) arising in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company takes
with respect to such Tax-Related Items. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company (i) does not make any representation
or undertaking regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Item in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including the grant and
vesting of the RSUs, or the subsequent sale of the shares of Common Stock and (ii) does not commit, and is under no obligation,
to structure the terms of the RSUs or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related
Items or achieve any particular tax result.

 

(b) Payment of Withholding Taxes.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued unless and until satisfactory
arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Grantee with respect to the payment of any taxes which the
Company determines must be withheld with respect to such shares of Common Stock.

 

10. Modification; Entire Agreement; Waiver.
No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement which reduces the Grantee’s rights hereunder will be
valid unless the same is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. This Agreement, together with the Plan, represent the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the RSUs. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this
Agreement will in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.

 

11. Policy Against Insider Trading.
By accepting the RSUs, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is bound by and shall comply with all the terms and conditions
of the Company’s insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time.

 

12. Data Privacy Consent. The Grantee
hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s
personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials by the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing,
administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that the Company may hold certain
personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number,
work location and phone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job

or any other entitlement to shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor,
for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Personal Data”). The Grantee understands that
Personal Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan,
now or in the future, that these recipients may be located in the Grantee’s country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s
country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country. The Grantee authorizes the recipients
to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that Personal Data will be held
only as long as is necessary or appropriate to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
Further, the Grantee understands that the Grantee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.

 

     

     

    

 

13. Successors and Assigns. The Company
may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors
and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement will be binding upon the Grantee
and the Grantee’s beneficiary, if applicable.

 

14. Captions. Captions provided herein
are for convenience only and shall not affect the scope, meaning, intent or interpretation of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

15. Severability. The invalidity
or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to
the extent permitted by law.

 

16. Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in portable
document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of
a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing an original signature.

 

17. Governing Law. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the provisions
governing conflict of laws.

 

18. Acceptance. The Grantee hereby

the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is bound by the following restrictive covenants (the “Restrictive Covenants”):

 

(a)                
Except to the extent (1) expressly authorized in writing by the Company or (2) required by law or any legal process,
the Grantee shall not at any time during the Grantee’s Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates or following
the date the Grantee’s Employment terminates use, disseminate, disclose or divulge to any person or to any firm, corporation,
association or other business entity, Confidential Information (as defined in Section 20 herein) or proprietary Trade Secrets (as
defined in Section 20 herein) of the Company or any of its Affiliates;

 

(b)               
The Grantee shall not at any time during the Grantee’s Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates or following
the date the Grantee’s Employment terminates make any derogatory, disparaging or negative statements, orally, written or
otherwise, against the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers and employees;

 

(c)                
During the Restricted Period (as defined in Section 20 herein), the Grantee shall not (i) become employed in any capacity
by, or become an officer, employee, director, agent, consultant, shareholder or partner of, or perform any services for, or otherwise
hold an interest (other than the ownership of less than 5% of the stock or other equity interests of a publicly traded firm or
corporation) in, any Competitor (as defined in Section 20 herein) of the Company or any of its Affiliates;

 

 

3
Note to draft: If grant vests over time rather than cliff vesting, consider whether to add the following: “For
the avoidance of doubt, once a portion of the RSUs has vested with respect to each of the [performance period], the settlement
of such RSUs shall not be subject to any further vesting conditions.” Other changes may be required. Legal and Finance should
be consulted before any such modification is made.

 

     

     

    

 

(d)               
During the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall not directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any
other person or entity, solicit or hire, attempt to solicit or hire, or assist any other person in soliciting or hiring any employee,
agent or contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates or induce any employee, agent or contractor of the Company or any of
its Affiliates to terminate his or her or her Employment or cease doing business with the Company or any of its Affiliates for
any reason whatsoever; and

 

(e)                
During the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall not directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any
other person or entity, including any Competitor of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (1) engage in any business transaction
or relationship or perform any service sin any material way competitive with the Company or any of its Affiliates with or for a
client or prospective client of the company or any of its Affiliates or (2) interfere with any business relationship between the
Company or any of its Affiliates and any client or prospective client of the Company or any of its Affiliates or induce any client
or prospective client to discontinue any business relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates or to refrain from entering
into a business relationship or transaction with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

The Restrictive Covenants are in addition
to and do not supersede any rights the Company or any of its Affiliates may have in law or at equity or under any other agreement.

 

By accepting the RSUs, the Grantee shall
further agree that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to the Company or any of its Affiliates in
the event the Grantee breaches the Restrictive Covenants. Therefore, if the Company or any of its Affiliates shall institute any
action or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, the Grantee shall agree to waive the claim or defense that the Company or
any of its Affiliates has an adequate remedy at law and the Grantee shall agree not to assert in any such action or proceeding
the claim or defense that the Company or any of its Affiliates has an adequate remedy at law.

 

If at any time the Committee reasonably
believes that the Grantee has breached any of the Restrictive Covenants described in Sections 8(a) through 8(e), the Committee
may suspend the vesting of Grantee’s RSUs pending a good faith determination by the Committee of whether any such Restrictive
Covenant has been breached, it being understood that such suspension shall not cause the settlement to be delayed beyond the last
date that settlement may occur pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof. If the Committee determines in good faith that the Grantee has
breached any such Restricted Covenants, the Grantee shall immediately forfeit any outstanding unvested RSUs and shall repay to
the Company, upon demand, any Common Stock or cash issued upon the settlement of the Grantee’s RSUs if the vesting of such
RSUs occurred during such breach. The Grantee shall also be required to repay to the Company, in cash and upon demand, any proceeds
resulting from the sale or other disposition (including to the Company) of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Grantee’s
RSUs if the sale or disposition was effected at any time during such breach.

 

The foregoing shall not prejudice the Company’s
right to require the Grantee to account for and pay over to the Company on a pre-tax basis any profit obtained by the Grantee as
a result of any transaction constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants.

 

		9.	Taxes.

 

(a)    
Liability for Tax-Related Items. Except to the extent prohibited by law, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee
is ultimately liable and responsible for any and all income taxes (including federal, state, local and other income taxes), social
insurance, payroll taxes and other tax-related withholding (the “Tax-Related Items”) arising in connection with
the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to such Tax-Related Items. The Grantee further acknowledges that
the Company (i) does not make any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Item in connection with
any aspect of the RSUs, including the grant and vesting of the RSUs, or the subsequent sale of the shares of Common Stock and (ii)
does not commit, and is under no obligation, to structure the terms of the RSUs or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate
the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.

 

(b)   
Payment of Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no shares of Common Stock
shall be issued unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Grantee with
respect to the payment of any taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such shares of Common Stock.

 

     

     

    

 

10.   
Modification; Entire Agreement; Waiver. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement which
reduces the Grantee’s rights hereunder will be valid unless the same is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. This
Agreement, together with the Plan, represent the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the RSUs. The failure of
the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement will in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision
or of any other provision hereof.

 

11.   
Policy Against Insider Trading. By accepting the RSUs, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is bound by and
shall comply with all the terms and conditions of the Company’s insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time.

 

12.   
Data Privacy Consent. The Grantee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer,
in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials
by the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
The Grantee understands that the Company may hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to,
the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, work location and phone number, date of birth, social insurance number
or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, hire date, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in
the Company or any of its Affiliates, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested,
unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Personal
Data”). The Grantee understands that Personal Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan, now or in the future, that these recipients may be located in the Grantee’s country
or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s
country. The Grantee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or
other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee
understands that Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary or appropriate to implement, administer and manage the
Grantee’s participation in the Plan. Further, the Grantee understands that the Grantee is providing the consents herein on
a purely voluntary basis.

  

13.   
Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein,
this Agreement will be binding upon the Grantee and the Grantee’s beneficiary, if applicable.

 

14.   
Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the scope, meaning, intent or interpretation
of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

15.   
Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement
shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

 

16.   
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile
transmission, by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the
original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing
an original signature.

 

17.   
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, without regard to the provisions governing conflict of laws.

 

18.   
Acceptance. The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee has read
and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts the RSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and
this Agreement. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that all decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Board, or a Committee
thereof, in respect of the Plan, this Agreement and the RSUs shall be final and conclusive. The Grantee acknowledges that there
may be adverse tax consequences upon disposition of the underlying shares and that the Grantee should consult a tax advisor prior
to such disposition.

 

19.   
Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereunder and shall
be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under
Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payment and benefits provided
under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of
any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Grantee on account of non-compliance with Section
