RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

(GLOBAL)
Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, including the attached Appendix (“Award Agreement”), Adobe Inc. (the “Company”) has awarded you, pursuant to its 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a Restricted Stock Unit Award for that number of Restricted Stock Units as indicated in the Grant Notice. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Grant Notice, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. Subject to adjustment and the terms and conditions as provided herein and in the Plan, each Restricted Stock Unit shall represent the right to receive one (1) share of Stock.

The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice, are as follows.

1.    VESTING.

(a)    The Restricted Stock Units shall vest, if at all, as provided in the Vesting Schedule set forth in your Grant Notice, this Award Agreement and the Plan, provided that vesting shall cease upon the termination of your Service, except as otherwise set forth herein.

(b)    If your Service terminates due to your death or Disability, then you will be given credit for an additional twelve (12) months of continuous Service such that the number of Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would have vested had your Service continued for an additional twelve (12) months following your termination will accelerate and become vested as of the date of your Service termination; provided, however, that in no event shall such applicable vesting exceed 100% of the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award. For purposes of this provision, “Disability” shall mean your permanent and total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder to the extent not inconsistent with the regulations under Section 409A of the Code. Except as set forth in this Section 1, any Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award that have not vested at the time of your termination of Service for any or no reason will be forfeited immediately and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company.

(c)    If your Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or if you terminate Service for Good Reason within one (1) year of the Vesting Commencement Date, 50% of the total number of Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award will become vested, subject to (i) your continued compliance with the terms of your offer letter with the Company dated December 13, 2019 (the “Offer Letter”) and (ii) timely execution, and non-revocation, of a general release and waiver of claims against the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in your Offer Letter. The terms “Cause” and “Good Reason” have the meanings set forth in the Offer Letter.

(d)    For purposes of the Award, your Service will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actively providing Service to the Participating Company Group (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your Offer Letter), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Participating Company Group, your right to vest in the Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing Service for purposes of your Award (including whether you may still be considered to be providing Services while on a leave of absence). Any such determination by the Committee for the purposes of this Award Agreement shall have no effect upon any determination of the rights or obligations of you or the Company (or any Participating Company, as applicable) for any other purpose.



1




(e)    The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Committee. Notwithstanding Section 5 and in accordance with Section 16, the payment of shares of Stock vesting pursuant to this Section 1 shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Code Section 409A.

2.
NUMBER OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AND UNDERLYING SHARES OF STOCK.

(a)    The Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award and the shares of Stock deliverable with respect to such Restricted Stock Units will be adjusted from time to time for capitalization adjustments, as provided in Section 4.2 of the Plan.

(b)    Any additional Restricted Stock Units, shares of Stock, cash or other property that become subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 2 shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Committee, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Restricted Stock Units and shares of Stock covered by your Award.

(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2, no fractional Restricted Stock Units or rights for fractional shares of Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 2. The Board shall, in its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit for any fractional Restricted Stock Units or fractional shares that might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 2.

3.    PAYMENT BY YOU. Subject to Section 12 below, and except as otherwise provided in the Grant Notice, you will not be required to make any payment to the Company with respect to your receipt of the Award, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, or the delivery of the shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that your continued Service is required for vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as set forth in the Grant Notice and this Award Agreement.

4.    RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Neither you nor any person claiming under or through you will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Stock hereunder unless and until certificates representing shares of Stock (or other evidence of ownership as so designated by the Company) (either, “Certificates”) will have been issued to you pursuant to Section 5. After such issuance, you will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such shares of Stock and receipt of dividends and other distributions on such shares of Stock.

5.    DELIVERY OF SHARES. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Stock on the date that such Restricted Stock Unit vests. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in Section 1, you will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Except as provided in Section 6, any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Section 1 will be paid to you in whole shares of Stock as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period thirty (30) days following the vesting date, subject to you satisfying any applicable tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 12. In no event will you be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any Restricted Stock Units payable under this Award Agreement.

(a)    Deferred Shares. If you are eligible and elect to defer delivery of the shares of Stock as provided in Section 6, such shares of Stock will be issued and delivered to you on the date or dates that you elect on your deferral election form. No shares of Stock shall be issued prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.

(b)    Delivery Following Death. If you are deceased at the time that shares of Stock pursuant to Restricted Stock Units, if any, are to be delivered to you, such delivery will be made to your designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary has survived you or been designated, or if the beneficiary designation is not enforceable and/or valid under the inheritance and other laws in your country (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion), to the administrator or executor of your estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (i) written notice of


2




his or her status as a transferee, and (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

6.    DEFERRAL ELECTION. If permitted by the Company to do so, you may elect to defer receipt of the shares of Stock that otherwise would be issued pursuant to the vesting of your Award in accordance with the terms and conditions, including the applicable eligibility requirements, of the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan (or such other successor plan as may be adopted by the Company). The Committee will, in its sole discretion, establish the rules and procedures for such deferrals.

7.    COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The grant of your Award and the issuance of any shares of Stock thereunder shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. You may not be issued any shares of Stock if such issuance of shares of Stock would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws, any other governmental regulatory body, or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. You understand that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares with the United States Securities Exchange Commission or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the shares of Stock.

In addition, you may not be issued any shares of Stock unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of issuance be in effect with respect to the shares of Stock or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares of Stock may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. YOU ARE CAUTIONED THAT THE SHARES OF STOCK MAY NOT BE ISSUED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. Where the Company determines that the delivery of any shares of Stock to settle this Award would violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws or rules or regulations promulgated by any governmental agency, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that delivery of shares of Stock will no longer cause such violation. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Stock shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares of Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the issuance of any shares of Stock pursuant to this Award, the Company may require you to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. Further, you agree that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Award Agreement without your consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of shares of Stock.

8.    RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The shares of Stock issued pursuant to this Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.

9.    TRANSFERABILITY. Except to the limited extent permitted under Section 5(b), this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privileged conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this Award and the rights and privileges hereby immediately will become null and void.

10.    AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the Service of the Participating Company Group, or on the part of the Participating Company Group to continue such Service. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Participating Company Group, their respective stockholders, boards of directors, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an Employee, Director or Consultant for the Participating Company Group.



3




11.    UNSECURED OBLIGATION. Your Award is unfunded, and even as to any Restricted Stock Units that vest, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue shares of Stock pursuant to this Award Agreement. You shall not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to this Award Agreement until such shares of Stock are issued to you pursuant to this Award Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock so issued. Nothing contained in this Award Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.

12.    TAX OBLIGATIONS.

(a)    General. Regardless of any action taken by the Company or any other Participating Company with respect to any or all federal, state, local and foreign income, employment, social insurance, payroll taxes, payment on account or other taxes related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you or deemed by the Participating Company Group to be an appropriate charge to you even if technically due by the Participating Company Group (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items, is, and remains, your responsibility. You further acknowledge that the Participating Company Group (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of your Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of this Award, subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to this Award, or the receipt of any dividends and/or Dividend Equivalents and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any other aspect of your Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Participating Company Group may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b)    Withholding Arrangements. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Participating Company Group to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you hereby authorize the Participating Company Group, or its respective agents, in their sole discretion and subject to any limitations under applicable law, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or more of the following means:

i.
withholding of that number of whole vested shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to you pursuant to this Award Agreement having a Fair Market Value not in excess of the amount of the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items determined by the Company after considering required withholding rates and to the extent permitted under the Plan, the Company may determine such amount by considering other applicable withholding rates up to the maximum rate applicable in your jurisdiction. For tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items;

ii.
withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Award either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization);

iii.
tender by you of a payment in cash or check to the Participating Company Group (as applicable) of any amount of the Tax-Related Items;

iv.
withholding by any Participating Company of any amount of the Tax-Related Items from your wages of any other compensation owed to you by any Participating Company; and/or

v.
in the event this Award is settled in whole or in part in cash, withholding from the cash to be distributed to you in settlement of this Award.

(c)    Subject to Section 12(b)(i), to the extent the Company withholds for Tax-Related Items by using a rate higher than your applicable tax rate, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and you will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in shares of Stock.

(d)    You shall pay to the Participating Company Group (as applicable) any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Participating Company Group may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver shares, cash or the proceeds of the sale of Stock until you have satisfied the obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section.

(e)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold using the method described under 12(b)(i) above unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable laws or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case the Committee (as constituted to satisfy the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 16b-3) shall determine which of the other methods described in Section 12(b) above shall be used to satisfy the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items.

13.    NATURE OF AWARD. In accepting your Award, you acknowledge, understand and agree 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, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b)    the grant of your Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted in the past;

(c)    all decisions with respect to future Awards or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d)    the Award and your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Participating Company Group and shall not interfere with any ability of the Participating Company Group to terminate your employment or service relationship (if any);

(f)    the Award and the Stock subject to the Award, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h)    the future value of the underlying shares of Stock subject to your Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of your Service with the Participating Company Group (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any);

(j)    unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits


5




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 the Company; and

(k)     the following provisions apply only if you are providing Service outside the United States:

iii.
the Participating Company Group shall not be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement.



14.    DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS AND NOTICES. Any document relating to participating in the Plan or this Award and/or notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (except to the extent that this Award Agreement provides for effectiveness only upon actual receipt of such notice) upon personal delivery, electronic delivery, or upon deposit in the U.S. Post Office or foreign postal service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, or with a nationally recognized courier designating express or expedited service with evidence of delivery, addressed to the other party at the e-mail address, if any, provided for you by the Company or a Participating Company or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.

You further acknowledge that you will be provided with a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically if electronic delivery fails; similarly, you understand that you must provide the Company or any designated third party with a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically if electronic delivery fails. Also, you understand that your consent may be revoked or changed, including any change in the electronic mail address to which documents are delivered (if you have provided an electronic mail address), at any time by notifying the Company of such revised or revoked consent by telephone, postal service or electronic mail at ***@***. Finally, you understand that you are not required to consent to electronic delivery.

15.    DATA PRIVACY CONSENT. You understand that the Participating Company Group holds certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number (to the extent permitted under applicable law), passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company,


6




details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (all "Data"), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

You understand that Data will be transferred to E*TRADE, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view or access Data or require it to be provided to another company, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative.

If you are an employee of an affiliate of the Company in the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom (after the UK ceases to be a member state of the EU), the grant of consent below is not relevant to you. Company (and other authorized recipients of the Data) process the Data for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan; this is necessary in order to perform Company's contractual obligations under this RSU Grant Agreement. If you do not provide Data required for this purpose, Company will not be able to perform its obligations under this RSU Grant Agreement and this may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. The Company and E*TRADE have entered into standard contract clauses, in the form authorized by the European Commission, with its affiliates in the European Economic Area in order to provide adequate protection for Data. The Company is the controller responsible for the Data processing described above and can be contacted at 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, California 95110 USA, or ***@***. You are entitled to complain to an EEA data protection authority in the country where you live, work, or believe any breach of data protection law has occurred.

Unless you are employee of an affiliate of the Company in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom (after the UK ceases to be a member state of the EU)., you hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your Data by and among the members of the Participating Company Group and by E*TRADE and any other company selected by Company to assist it in administering the Plan, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with your employer will not be affected: the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Restricted Stock Units or other equity to you awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

16.    APPLICATION OF SECTION 409A (ONLY APPLICABLE TO U.S. TAXPAYERS). Absent a proper deferral election, it is intended that all of the benefits and payments provided under this Award satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Code Section 409A provided under the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A‑1(b)(4), and this Award will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. To the extent not so exempt, this Award and the payments and benefits to be provided hereunder are intended to, and will be construed and implemented so as to, comply in all respects with the applicable provisions of Code Section 409A, and any provisions calling for payments on a termination of employment or other service shall be read to mean a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409-1(h) without reference to alternative definitions thereunder). For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment, installment and benefit under this Award is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A‑2(b)(2). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award, to the extent that (i) one or more of the payments or benefits received or to be received by you upon “separation from service” pursuant


7




to this Plan would constitute deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, and (ii) you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A at the time of separation from service, then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments or benefits is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A, such payments and benefits shall not be provided to you prior to the earliest of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of separation from service, (b) the date of your death or (c) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation on you. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum to you, and any remaining payments and benefits due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

17.    BINDING AGREEMENT. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this Award contained herein, the Award Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

18.    COMMITTEE AUTHORITY. The Committee will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon you, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Award Agreement.

19.    HEADINGS. The headings of the Sections in this Award Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Award Agreement or to affect the meaning of this Award Agreement.

20.    MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)    The rights and obligations of the Company under your Award shall be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns.

(b)    You agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of your Award.

(c)    You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing and accepting your Award and fully understand all provisions of your Award.

21.    AGREEMENT SEVERABLE. The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

22.    GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, which are hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between one or more provisions of your Award Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

23.    APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE. The Award and the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be governed by, and subject to, the laws of the State of California, United States of America. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Award Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of Santa Clara County, California, or the


8




federal courts of the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

24.    NO ADVICE REGARDING GRANT.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
You may be required to report foreign specified property (including shares of Stock and rights to shares of Stock such as Restricted Stock Units) on form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of your foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year. If applicable, the form must be filed by April 30 of the following year. When shares of Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Stock. The ACB ordinarily would equal the fair market value of the Stock at the time of acquisition, but if you own other shares of Stock of the same Company, this ACB may have to be leveraged with the ACB of the other Stock. Please refer to form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) and consult your tax advisor for further details.
Chile
Securities Law Information
The offer of Restricted Stock Units constitutes a private offering of securities in Chile effective as of the Date of Grant. The offer of Restricted Stock Units is made subject to general ruling N° 336 of the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (“SVS”). The offer refers to securities not registered at the securities registry or at the foreign securities registry of the SVS, and, therefore, such securities are not subject to oversight of the SVS. Given that the Restricted Stock Units are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide public information about the Restricted Stock Units or the shares of Stock in Chile. Unless the Restricted Stock Units and/or the shares of Stock are registered with the SVS, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.
Esta oferta de Unidades de Acciones Restringidas constituye una oferta privada de valores en Chile y se inicia en la Fecha de la Concesión. Esta oferta de Unidades de Acciones Restringidas se acoge a las disposiciones de la Norma de Carácter General N° 336 de la Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros de Chile (“SVS”). Esta oferta versa sobre valores no inscritos en el Registro de Valores o en el Registro de Valores Extranjeros que lleva la SVS, por lo que tales valores no están sujetos a la fiscalización de ésta. Por tratarse las Unidades de Acciones Restringidas de valores no registrados en Chile, no existe obligación por parte de la Compañía de entregar en Chile información pública respecto de los Unidades de Acciones Restringidas o sus Acciones. Estos valores no podrán ser objeto de oferta pública en Chile mientras no sean inscritos en el Registro de Valores correspondiente.
Exchange Control Information
Exchange control reporting requirements will apply if the value of any shares of Stock acquired without the remittance of funds out of Chile exceeds US$10,000. It is not clear whether this requirement also applies in the case of Restricted Stock Units where no payment is made to acquire the shares; however, if the Central Bank of Chile considers the acquisition of shares of Stock for no consideration to be an “investment operation” the requirement will apply. You should consult your personal legal advisor for further details.

You are not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of shares of Stock or any dividends to Chile. However, if you decide to repatriate such funds, you must do so through the Formal Exchange Market if the amount of the funds exceeds US$10,000. In such case, you must report the payment to a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office receiving the funds.

If your aggregate investments held outside of Chile exceed US$5,000,000 in any year (including the investments made under the Plan), you must report the investments annually to the Central Bank.

Please note that exchange control regulations in Chile are subject to change. You should consult with your personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that you may have prior to the vesting of the Award or receiving proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.

Tax Reporting Information and Registration

The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide information annually regarding: (i) any taxes paid abroad which will be used as a credit against Chilean income taxes, and (ii) the results of foreign investments on a sworn statement which must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website at www.sii.cl. You should consult with your personal tax advisor with respect to your filing requirements.

China
Delivery of Shares: This provision replaces Section 5 of the Award Agreement:
Notwithstanding anything in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units granted to you do not provide any right to receive shares of Stock. Upon vesting, the Restricted Stock Units shall be settled and paid only in cash through local payroll in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of Stock at vesting less any Tax-Related Items. You agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Restricted Stock Units vest and the time the cash payment is distributed to you.

Colombia
Labor Law Acknowledgement
By accepting this Award, you acknowledge that pursuant to Article 128 of the Colombia Labor Code, the Plan and related benefits do not constitute a component of “salary” for any purposes. Therefore, the Award and related benefits will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, including but not limited to legal/fringe benefits, vacations, indemnities, payroll taxes and social insurance contributions.
Securities Law Information
The shares of Stock are not and will not be registered in the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the shares of Stock may not be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in this Award Agreement should be construed as the making of a public offer of securities in Colombia.
Exchange Control Information
Investments in assets located abroad (including shares of Stock) are subject to registration with the Bank of the Republic if your aggregate investments held abroad (as of December 31 of the applicable calendar year) equal or exceed US$500,000. Registration is undertaken via lodgment of Form 11 and must be filed by June 30 of the year following that in which the investment was made. Upon sale or other disposition of investments (including shares of Stock) which have been registered with the Central Bank, the registration with the Central Bank must be cancelled no later than March 31 of the year following the sale or disposition (or a fine of up to 200% of the value of the infringing payment will apply). When investments held abroad are sold or otherwise disposed of, regardless of whether they have been registered with the Central Bank, you must repatriate the proceeds to Colombia by selling currency to a Colombian bank and filing the appropriate form.
Czech Republic
Exchange Control Information
The Czech National Bank may require you to fulfill certain notification duties in relation to the Award and the opening and maintenance of a foreign account (e.g., may be required to report foreign direct investments, financial credits from abroad, investment in foreign securities, and associated collections and payments). However, because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your personal legal advisor prior to the vesting of the Award and the sale of shares of Stock and before opening any foreign accounts in connection with the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is your responsibility to comply with any applicable Czech exchange control laws.

New Zealand
Securities Law Information

WARNING: You are being offered Restricted Stock Units which allow you to acquire shares of Stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement. The shares of Stock, if issued, give you a stake in the ownership of the Company. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preferred shares have been paid.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. You understand that you should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before participating in the Plan.

The shares of Stock are quoted and approved for trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market in the United States of America.
