7.Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Grantee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon payment in accordance with Section 5 herein are subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.
8.Distributions, Redemptions, etc.
| (a) | Upon the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, there shall be credited to the Account an amount equal to the product of (i) the per-Share amount paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Unit in connection with the Adjustment Event, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that are included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event, multiplied by (iii) the number of Units underlying the Grantee’s Stock Units pursuant to this Award. |
| (b) | If any other cash dividend or distribution is paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Units, there shall be credited to the Account an amount equal to the product of (i) the per-Share amount paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Units, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares of the applicable class of stock that are included in each Unit, multiplied by (iii) the number of Units underlying the Grantee’s Stock Units pursuant to this Award. |
| (c) | The amount credited to the Account pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to vested Stock Units is referred to as the “Bonus Value.” The amount credited to the Account pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to unvested Stock Units is referred to as the “Deferred Bonus Value.” |
| (d) | On the fifth business day after the end of each calendar quarter, the Company shall pay to the Grantee in cash an amount equal to the Bonus Value accrued by the Grantee for such quarter, subject to applicable tax withholding. The Company shall pay to the Grantee the Deferred Bonus Value accrued in connection with any unvested Stock Units on the fifth business day after the date on which such unvested Stock Units vest, subject to applicable tax withholding. |
| (e) | In the case of a redemption or repurchase of Shares, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to outstanding Stock Units will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding Shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 8. |
9.Forfeiture. Upon delivery of Shares pursuant to the Stock Units, the Grantee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that the Grantee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between the Grantee and the Company or any of its Affiliates. If the Company determines that the Grantee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants or with the provisions of any agreement between Grantee and the Company or any of its Affiliates, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company or the applicable party, the Committee may cancel
-4-
any unpaid Stock Units. The Company shall also have the following (and only the following) additional remedies:
| (a) | During the six months after any delivery of Shares pursuant to the Stock Units, such delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s option if the Grantee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates or if the Grantee breaches any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall notify the Grantee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, the Grantee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares (or to the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued at the time of the exchange), and (iii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded delivery. |
| (b) | The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to the Grantee under or by reason of the Grantee’s holding the Stock Units, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of the Grantee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates or the Grantee’s breach of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no offset shall accelerate or defer the distribution date of amounts payable under this Agreement in violation of Section 409A of the Code, and any offset in violation of Section 409A shall be null and void. Accordingly, the Grantee acknowledges that (i) the Company may withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such withholding, or escrow, subject, however, to compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. |
The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. The Grantee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.
10.Legends, etc. Shares issued upon the lapse of any restrictions on the Stock Units shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.
11.Transfer of Stock Units. The Stock Units may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, or to a legal representative in the event of the Grantee’s incapacity.
12.Withholding. The payment of the Shares and other amounts in accordance with this Agreement will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Grantee expressly
-5-
acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares in accordance with Section 5 herein and cash paid in accordance with Section 8 hereof, are subject to the Grantee promptly paying to the Companies in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. The Grantee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Grantee. The Grantee may elect to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to the payment of Shares by having Shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state, and local tax liabilities.
13.Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The Award and payment of the Stock Units are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares issued under the Plan, (ii) changes in capitalization and (iii) other requirements of applicable law. The Administrator shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Stock Units pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.
14.Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of the Stock Units, nor the issuance of Shares or other payments in accordance with this Agreement, shall give the Grantee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline the Grantee at any time, or affect any right of the Grantee to terminate his or her Employment at any time.
15.Delay in Payments for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” of a publicly traded corporation under Section 409A of the Code at the time of separation from service and if payment of any amount under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six months after the separation from service pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, payment of such amount shall be delayed as required by Section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 10 days after the end of the six-month period. If the Grantee dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid to the personal representative of the Grantee’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Grantee’s death.
16.Section 409A. It is intended that the Stock Units awarded hereunder shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (and any regulations and guidelines issued thereunder), and this Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. Each payment under this Agreement is considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Grantee in any respect deemed by the Committee to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
17.Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to
-6-
any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.
By acceptance of the Stock Units, the undersigned agrees hereby to become a party to, and be bound by the terms of, the Stockholders Agreement as a “Manager” as defined therein.

The Grantee understands that all of those works and ideas will be the Company’s exclusive property, and by accepting the Stock Units the Grantee assigns and agrees to assign all the Grantee’s right, title and interest in those works and ideas to the Company. The Grantee will sign all documents which the Company deems necessary to confirm its ownership of those works and ideas, and the Grantee will cooperate fully with the Company to allow the Company to take full advantage of those works and ideas, including the securing of patent and/or copyright protection and/or other similar rights in the United States and in foreign countries.

Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, the Grantee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares (or to the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued at the time of the exchange), and (iii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded delivery. |
| (b) | The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to the Grantee under or by reason of the Grantee’s holding the Stock Units, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of the Grantee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or the Grantee’s breach of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no offset shall accelerate or defer the distribution date of amounts payable under this Agreement in violation of Section 409A of the Code, and any offset in violation of Section 409A shall be null and void. Accordingly, the Grantee acknowledges that (i) the Company may withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such withholding, or escrow, subject, however, to compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. |
The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. The Grantee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.

The Grantee may elect to satisfy any Tax withholding obligation with respect to the payment of Shares by having Shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding Tax.
13.Employer NIC. The Grantee hereby agrees to accept all liability for and pay all secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions which may be payable by the Companies (or any successor or any subsidiaries employing or retaining or previously employing or retaining the Grantee) arising in connection with the Stock Units or the payment of the Shares (the “Employer NIC”). The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has executed (or hereby agrees to execute within the time period specified by the Company) a Form of Joint Election to effect the transfer of the Employer NIC. The Employer NIC must be paid in accordance with the Joint Election. The Grantee further acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares in accordance with Section 5 herein, are subject to the Grantee paying the Employer NIC in accordance with the Joint Election.
14.Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The Award and payment of the Stock Units are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares issued under the Plan, (ii) changes in capitalization and (iii) other requirements of applicable law.

16.Delay in Payments for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” of a publicly traded corporation under Section 409A of the Code at the time of separation from service and if payment of any amount under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six months after the separation from service pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, payment of such amount shall be delayed as required by Section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 10 days after the end of the six-month period. If the Grantee dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid to the personal representative of the Grantee’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Grantee’s death.
17.Section 409A. It is intended that the Stock Units awarded hereunder shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (and any regulations and guidelines issued thereunder), and this Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. Each payment under this Agreement is considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Grantee in any respect deemed by the Committee to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
18.Nature of Grant; No Entitlement; No Claim for Compensation. Grantee, in accepting the Stock Units, represents and acknowledges that Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; that participation in the Plan is discretionary and does not form any part of Grantee’s contract of employment, if any, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and that Grantee has not been induced to participate in the Plan by any expectation of employment or continued employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Grantee furthermore understands and acknowledges that the grant of the Stock Units is discretionary and a one-time occurrence, does not constitute any portion of Grantee’s regular remuneration and is not intended to be taken into account in calculating service-related benefits, and bears no guarantee or implication that any additional grant will be made in the future. In consideration of the grant of the Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Stock Units or diminution in value of the Stock Units or any of the Shares issuable under the Stock Units from termination of Grantee’s employment by the Company or his or her employer, as applicable (and for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract or local labor laws), and Grantee irrevocably release his or her employer, the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Grantee shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived Grantee’s entitlement to pursue such claim.
19.Personal Data. Grantee understands and acknowledges that in order to perform its obligations under the Plan, the Company and its subsidiaries may process personal data and/or sensitive personal data relating to Grantee.

Grantee, in accepting the Stock Units, gives his or her explicit
-7-
and voluntary consent to the Company and its subsidiaries to collect, use and process any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data (in electronic or other form). Grantee also hereby gives his or her explicit and voluntary consent to the Company and its subsidiaries to transfer any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data (in electronic or other form) outside the country in which Grantee works or is employed. The legal persons for whom Grantee’s personal data are intended include the Company and any of its subsidiaries, any outside plan administrator or service provider selected by the Company or any of its subsidiaries from time to time, and any other person that the Administrator may find in its administration of the Plan to be appropriate; such recipients may be located in countries that have different data privacy laws and protections than Grantee’s country. Grantee hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed of his or her right of access and correction to his or her personal data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Grantee understands that the transfer of the information described herein is important to the administration of the Plan and that failure to consent to the transmission of such information may limit or prohibit his or her participation in the Plan.
20.Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

The Grantee understands that all of those works and ideas will be the Company’s exclusive property, and by accepting the Stock Units the Grantee assigns and agrees to assign all the Grantee’s right, title and interest in those works and ideas to the Company. The Grantee will sign all documents which the Company deems necessary to confirm its ownership of those works and ideas, and the Grantee will cooperate fully with the Company to allow the Company to take full advantage of those works and ideas, including the securing of patent and/or copyright protection and/or other similar rights in the United States and in foreign countries.

9.Forfeiture. Upon delivery of Shares pursuant to the Stock Units, the Grantee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that the Grantee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between the Grantee and the Company or any of its Affiliates. If the Company determines that the Grantee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants or with the provisions of any agreement between the Grantee and the Company or any of its Affiliates, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company or the applicable party, the Committee may cancel any unpaid Stock Units. The Company shall also have the following (and only the following) additional remedies:
| (a) | During the six months after any delivery of Shares pursuant to the Stock Units, such delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s option if the Grantee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or if the Grantee breaches any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall notify the Grantee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, the Grantee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares (or to the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued at the time of the exchange), and (iii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded delivery. |
| (b) | The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to the Grantee under or by reason of the Grantee’s holding the Stock Units, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of the Grantee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or the Grantee’s breach of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no offset shall accelerate or defer the distribution date of amounts payable under this Agreement in violation of Section 409A of the Code, and any offset in violation of Section 409A shall be null and void. Accordingly, the Grantee acknowledges that (i) the Company may withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such withholding, or escrow, subject, however, to compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. |
The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. The Grantee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.
-5-
10.Legends, etc. Shares issued upon the lapse of any restrictions on the Stock Units shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.
11.Transfer of Stock Units. The Stock Units may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, or to a legal representative in the event of the Grantee’s incapacity.
12.Withholding. The payment of the Shares and other amounts in accordance with this Agreement will give rise to compensation income which may be subject to withholding. The Grantee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares in accordance with Section 5 herein and cash paid in accordance with Section 8 hereof, are subject to the Grantee promptly paying to the Companies in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all Taxes required to be withheld. The Grantee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Grantee. In addition, the Companies may require the Grantee to pay any taxes or other amounts required to be paid by the Companies or any Affiliate with respect to the grant or vesting of the Stock Units or the payment of the Shares. Any such taxes or amounts must be paid at such time and in such form as determined by the Companies.
13.Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The Award and payment of the Stock Units are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares issued under the Plan, (ii) changes in capitalization and (iii) other requirements of applicable law. The Administrator shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Stock Units pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.
14.Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of the Stock Units, nor the issuance of Shares or other payments in accordance with this Agreement, shall give the Grantee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline the Grantee at any time, or affect any right of the Grantee to terminate his or her Employment at any time, subject to applicable local law and the terms of any employment agreement.
15.Delay in Payments for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” of a publicly traded corporation under Section 409A of the Code at the time of separation from service and if payment of any amount under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six months after the separation from service pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, payment of such amount shall be delayed as required by Section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 10 days after the end of the six-month period. If the Grantee dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid to the personal representative of the Grantee’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Grantee’s death.
-6-
16.Section 409A. It is intended that the Stock Units awarded hereunder shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (and any regulations and guidelines issued thereunder), and this Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. Each payment under this Agreement is considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Grantee in any respect deemed by the Committee to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
17.Nature of Grant; No Entitlement; No Claim for Compensation. Grantee, in accepting the Stock Units, represents and acknowledges that Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; that participation in the Plan is discretionary and does not form any part of Grantee’s contract of employment, if any, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and that Grantee has not been induced to participate in the Plan by any expectation of employment or continued employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

8.Distributions, Redemptions, etc.
| (a) | Upon the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, there shall be credited to the Account an amount equal to the product of (i) the per-Share amount paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Unit in connection with the Adjustment Event, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that are included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event, multiplied by (iii) the number of Units underlying the Grantee’s Stock Units pursuant to this Award. |
| (b) | If any other cash dividend or distribution is paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Units, there shall be credited to the Account an amount equal to the product of (i) the per-Share amount paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Units, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares of the applicable class of stock that are included in each Unit, multiplied by (iii) the number of Units underlying the Grantee’s Stock Units pursuant to this Award. |
| (c) | The amount credited to the Account pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to vested Stock Units is referred to as the “Bonus Value.” The amount credited to the Account pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to unvested Stock Units is referred to as the “Deferred Bonus Value.” |
| (d) | On the fifth business day after the end of each calendar quarter, the Company shall pay to the Grantee in cash an amount equal to the Bonus Value accrued by the Grantee for such quarter, subject to applicable tax withholding. The Company shall pay to the Grantee the Deferred Bonus Value accrued in connection with any unvested Stock Units on the fifth business day after the date on which such unvested Stock Units vest, subject to applicable Tax withholding. |
| (e) | In the case of a redemption or repurchase of Shares, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to outstanding Stock Units will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding Shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 8. |
-4-
9.Forfeiture. Upon delivery of Shares pursuant to the Stock Units, the Grantee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that the Grantee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between the Grantee and the Company or any of its Affiliates. If the Company determines that the Grantee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants or with the provisions of any agreement between the Grantee and the Company of any of its Affiliates, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company or the applicable party, the Committee may cancel any unpaid Stock Units. The Company shall also have the following (and only the following) additional remedies:
| (a) | During the six months after any delivery of Shares pursuant to the Stock Units, such delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s option if the Grantee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or if the Grantee breaches any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall notify the Grantee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, the Grantee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares (or to the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued at the time of the exchange), and (iii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded delivery. |
| (b) | The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to the Grantee under or by reason of the Grantee’s holding the Stock Units, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of the Grantee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or the Grantee’s breach of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no offset shall accelerate or defer the distribution date of amounts payable under this Agreement in violation of Section 409A of the Code, and any offset in violation of Section 409A shall be null and void. Accordingly, the Grantee acknowledges that (i) the Company may withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such withholding, or escrow, subject, however, to compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. |
The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. The Grantee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.
-5-
10.Legends, etc. Shares issued upon the lapse of any restrictions on the Stock Units shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.
11.Transfer of Stock Units. The Stock Units may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, or to a legal representative in the event of the Grantee’s incapacity.
12.Withholding. The payment of the Shares and other amounts in accordance with this Agreement will give rise to compensation income which may be subject to withholding. The Grantee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares in accordance with Section 5 herein and cash paid in accordance with Section 8 hereof, are subject to the Grantee promptly paying to the Companies in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all Taxes required to be withheld. The Grantee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Grantee. The Grantee may elect to satisfy any Tax withholding obligation with respect to the payment of Shares by having Shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding Tax. In addition, the Companies may require the Grantee to pay any taxes or other amounts required to be paid by the Companies or any Affiliate with respect to the grant or vesting of the Stock Units or the payment of the Shares. Any such taxes or amounts must be paid at such time and in such form as determined by the Companies.
13.Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The Award and payment of the Stock Units are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares issued under the Plan, (ii) changes in capitalization and (iii) other requirements of applicable law. The Administrator shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Stock Units pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.
14.Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of the Stock Units, nor the issuance of Shares or other payments in accordance with this Agreement, shall give the Grantee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline the Grantee at any time, or affect any right of the Grantee to terminate his or her Employment at any time, subject to applicable local law and the terms of any employment agreement.
15.Delay in Payments for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” of a publicly traded corporation under Section 409A of the Code at the time of separation from service and if payment of any amount under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six months after the separation from service pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, payment of such amount shall be delayed as required by Section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 10 days after the end of the six-month period. If the Grantee dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of
-6-
postponed amount, the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid to the personal representative of the Grantee’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Grantee’s death.
16.Section 409A. It is intended that the Stock Units awarded hereunder shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (and any regulations and guidelines issued thereunder), and this Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. Each payment under this Agreement is considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Grantee in any respect deemed by the Committee to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
17.Nature of Grant; No Entitlement; No Claim for Compensation. Grantee, in accepting the Stock Units, represents and acknowledges that Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; that participation in the Plan is discretionary and does not form any part of Grantee’s contract of employment, if any, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and that Grantee has not been induced to participate in the Plan by any expectation of employment or continued employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Grantee furthermore understands and acknowledges that the grant of the Stock Units is discretionary and a one-time occurrence, does not constitute any portion of Grantee’s regular remuneration and is not intended to be taken into account in calculating service-related benefits, and bears no guarantee or implication that any additional grant will be made in the future. In consideration of the grant of the Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Stock Units or diminution in value of the Stock Units or any of the Shares issuable under the Stock Units from termination of Grantee’s employment by the Company or his or her employer, as applicable (and for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract or local labor laws), and Grantee irrevocably release his or her employer, the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Grantee shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived Grantee’s entitlement to pursue such claim.
18.Personal Data. Grantee understands and acknowledges that in order to perform its obligations under the Plan, the Company and its subsidiaries may process personal data and/or sensitive personal data relating to Grantee. Such data includes but is not limited to the information provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other personal and financial data relating to Grantee (including, without limitation, Grantee’s address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title), and information about Grantee’s participation in the Plan and the Shares acquired from time to time pursuant to the Plan. Grantee, in accepting the Stock Units, gives his or her explicit and voluntary consent to the Company and its subsidiaries to collect, use and process any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data (in electronic or other form). Grantee also hereby gives his or her explicit and voluntary consent to the Company and its subsidiaries to transfer any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data (in electronic or other form) outside the country in which Grantee works or is employed. The legal persons for whom Grantee’s personal data are intended include the Company and any of its subsidiaries, any outside plan administrator or service provider selected by the Company or any of its subsidiaries from time to time, and any other person that the Administrator may find in its administration of the Plan to be appropriate;
-7-
such recipients may be located in countries that have different data privacy laws and protections than Grantee’s country. Grantee hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed of his or her right of access and correction to his or her personal data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Grantee understands that the transfer of the information described herein is important to the administration of the Plan and that failure to consent to the transmission of such information may limit or prohibit his or her participation in the Plan.
19.Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.
By acceptance of the Stock Units, the undersigned agrees hereby to become a party to, and be bound by the terms of, the Stockholders Agreement as a “Manager” as defined therein.
