Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement
Additional Terms and Conditions for Grantees Subject to Laws Outside the United States
The following terms and conditions apply to Grantees who reside outside the United States or who are otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States. In general, the terms and conditions in this Appendix A supplement the provisions of the Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “PSU Award Agreement”) of which this Appendix A forms a part, unless otherwise indicated herein. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan or the PSU Award Agreement, as applicable, shall have the same meanings in this Appendix A.
A1. Retirement. The following provision supplements Paragraph 4 of the PSU Award Agreement:
Notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 4 of the PSU Award Agreement to the contrary, if there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Grantee’s jurisdiction, which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to the PSUs in the event of the Grantee’s Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the provisions in Paragraph 4 of the Agreement regarding the treatment of the PSUs in the event of Retirement shall not be applicable to the PSUs and the remaining provisions of Paragraph 4 will govern.
A2. Acknowledgment of Nature of the Plan and the PSUs. By accepting the grant of the PSUs, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time without notice and without compensation;
(b) the grant of the PSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of PSUs, or benefits in lieu of PSUs, even if PSUs have been granted in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future grants of PSUs, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) the Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e) the PSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f) the PSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income from and value of same, are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company (or any Subsidiary) or the Employer, and which are outside the scope of the Grantee’s employment or service contract, if any;
(g) the PSUs and the underlying shares, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
(h) the grant of the PSUs and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or engagement agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary;
(i) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j) the value of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the PSUs may increase or decrease in value;
(k) no claim or entitlement to compensation shall arise from forfeiture of the PSUs resulting from the Grantee’s ceasing to provide services to the Employer or the Company (or any Subsidiary) (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether the termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or providing services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or engagement agreement, if any);
(l) the PSUs and the benefits evidenced by this PSU Award Agreement do not create any entitlement, not otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or provided by the Company in its discretion, to have the PSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of Common Stock; and
