(e) The Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Service with the Company or another parent or subsidiary of the Company and shall not interfere with the ability of with the Company or another parent or subsidiary of the Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable law.
(f) The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(g) The RSUs are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for Service of any kind rendered to the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, and which are outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any.
(h) The RSUs are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service options, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
(i) In the event that the Participant is not an employee of a parent or subsidiary of the Company, the RSUs grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with a parent or subsidiary of the Company.
(j) The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. The value of the Shares may increase or decrease.
(k) No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the RSUs or diminution in value of the RSUs or Shares and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company, or any parent or subsidiary of the Company 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, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such a claim.
12. Data Privacy.
(a) Data Collected and Purposes of Collection. The Participant understands that the Company, acting as controller, as well as the employing parent or subsidiary of the Company, will process, to the extent permissible under applicable law, certain personal information about the Participant, including name, home address and telephone number, information necessary to process the RSUs (e.g., mailing address for a check payment or bank account wire transfer information), date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, employment location, details of all RSUs granted, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, and where applicable service termination date and reason for termination, any capital shares or directorships held in the Company (where needed for legal or tax compliance), and any other information necessary to process mandatory tax withholding and reporting (all such personal information is referred to as “Data”). The Data is collected from the Participant, and from the Company, or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan pursuant to its terms. The legal bases (that is, the legal justification) for processing the Data is that it is necessary to perform, administer and manage the Plan and in Company’s legitimate interests, which means the Company is using the relevant Data to conduct and develop its business activities, subject to the Participant’s interest and fundamental rights. The Data must be provided in order for the Participant to participate in the Plan and for the parties to this Agreement to perform their respective obligations thereunder. If the Participant does not provide Data, he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan and become a party to this Agreement.
