6. I agree that: (i) the Offer is established voluntarily by PMV, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by PMV, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Offer documents, at any time prior to the expiration of the Offer; (ii) PMV, at its discretion, may refuse to accept my election to participate; and (iii) the Offer is an exceptional, voluntary and one-time offer that does not create any contractual or other right to receive future offers, options or other equity awards, or benefits in lieu of offers, even if offers have been made in the past.
7. I agree that the new options, and income from and value of same; (i) are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; and (ii) are not part of normal or expected compensation for the purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments.
8. This election and my participation in the Offer shall not create a right to employment or other service, or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or other service contract with PMV and shall not interfere with the ability of PMV, or, if different, of my current employer, or applicable entity with which I am engaged to provide services (the “Employer”), to terminate my employment or other service relationship (if any) at any time with or without cause (subject to the terms of my employment contract or other service contract, if any).
9. I understand that: (i) the future value of the shares of PMV’s common stock underlying the new options is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; (ii) if the underlying shares of PMV’s common stock do not increase in value, the new options will have no value; and (iii) if I exercise the new option and acquire shares of PMV’s common stock, the value of those shares may increase or decrease, even below the new option’s exercise price.
10. No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the new options resulting from the termination of my employment or other service relationship with PMV (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where I am employed or the terms of my employment agreement, if any).
11. I acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by PMV or the Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance and social security liabilities or premium, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Offer and the new options and legally applicable to me (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains solely my responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by PMV or the Employer. I further acknowledge that PMV and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Offer and the new options, including, but not limited to, the exchange of eligible options for new options, the grant, vesting or exercise of the new options, the issuance of shares of PMV’s common stock upon exercise of the new options, the subsequent sale of shares of PMV’s common stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Offer or any aspect of the new options to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if I am subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, I acknowledge that PMV and/or the Employer (or former employer or entity, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
