GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

2.1    Grant of RSUs. Pursuant to the Grant Notice and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an award of RSUs under the Plan in consideration of the Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiaries and for other good and valuable consideration.

Prior to actual payment of any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

with such Termination of Service shall thereupon automatically be forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder. No portion of the RSUs which has not become vested as of the date on which the Participant incurs a Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested.

2.6    Issuance of Common Stock upon Vesting.

(a)    As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such vesting date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Shares cannot be issued pursuant to Section 10.7 of the Plan, the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines that Shares can again be issued in accordance with such Section.

(b)    As set forth in Section 10.5 of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable foreign, federal, state and local taxes and/or social security, social insurance or national insurance contributions required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative unless and until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all foreign, federal, state and local taxes and/or social security, social insurance or national insurance contributions applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or the issuance of Shares.

Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares deliverable hereunder prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 10.7 of the Plan.

2.8    Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the RSUs and any Shares underlying the RSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Article IX of the Plan.

If the Shares issuable hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state laws on an effective registration statement at the time of such issuance, the Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with such issuance, make such written representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and/or its counsel.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

3.15    Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto, if any) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

3.16    Section 409A. This Award is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that this Award (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate for this Award either to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

3.17    Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general

A-4

unsecured creditor of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to RSUs, as and when payable hereunder.

3.18    Data Privacy. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement, Section 11.8 (“Data Privacy”) of the Plan is hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if first set forth herein. If Participant resides in the UK or the European Union, the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates will hold, collect and otherwise process certain data as set out in the applicable company’s GDPR-compliant data privacy notice, which will be or has been provided to you separately. All personal data will be treated in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.

3.19    Special Provisions for RSUs Granted to Participants Outside the U.S. If Participant performs services for the Company outside of the United States, the RSUs shall be subject to the special provisions, if any, for Participant’s country of residence, as set forth in Exhibit A-1 (the “Non-U.S. Provisions”). If Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Non-U.S. Provisions during the life of the Award, the special provisions for such country shall apply to Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such provisions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the RSUs and the Shares issuable upon vesting of the RSUs, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

3.20    Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and RSUs. In accepting the RSUs, Participant acknowledges that:

(a)    for labor law purposes, the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are an extraordinary item that does not constitute wages of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or to Participant’s service entity, and the award of the RSUs is outside the scope of Participant’s service contract, if any;

(c)    the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(d)    neither the RSUs nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon Participant any right with respect to service or continuation of current service and shall not be interpreted to form a service contract or relationship with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate;

(e)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and

SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR PARTICIPANTS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

This Exhibit A-1 (this “Appendix”) includes special terms and conditions applicable to Participants in the countries below. These terms and conditions are in addition to those set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Plan and to the extent there are any inconsistencies between these terms and conditions and those set forth in the Agreement, these terms and conditions shall prevail. Any capitalized term used in this Exhibit A-1 without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan or the Agreement, as applicable.

This Appendix also includes information relating to exchange control and other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2020. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time RSUs vest or Shares acquired under the Plan are sold.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the particular situation of Participant, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation. Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

Participant may take part in the offer solely for his or her own account and any financial instruments thus acquired cannot be distributed directly or indirectly to the public otherwise than in accordance with Articles L. 411-1, L. 411-2, L. 412-1 and L. 621-8 to L. 621-8-3 of the Monetary and Financial Code. The information provided to Participant in this Agreement, the Plan or other documents supplied to Participant in connection with the offer to Participant of the RSUs are provided as factual information only and as such is not intended to induce Participant to accept to enter into this Agreement. Any such information does not give or purport to give any indication of the likely future financial success or performance of the Company and historical financial information gives no indication of future financial performance. The RSUs are not intended to qualify for any favorable tax and social security treatment in France. Should Participant be in any doubt as to the contents of the offer of the RSUs or what course of action to take in relation to the offer, Participant is recommended to immediately seek his or her own personal financial advice from his or her stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial advisor duly authorized by the competent authorities or bodies.

Exchange Control Information. Participant must declare to the customs and excise authorities any cash and securities the Participant imports or exports without the use of a financial institution when the value of such cash or securities exceeds a certain amount. Participant should consult with Participant’s professional advisor. In addition, if the Participant is a French resident, the Participant may hold stock outside France provided Participant declares all foreign bank and brokerage accounts on an annual basis (including the accounts that were open and those that were closed during the tax year) on a specific form in Participant’s income tax return.

A-1-1

SWITZERLAND

Securities Law Information. The RSUs are considered a private offering in Switzerland; therefore, it is not subject to registration.

UNITED KINGDOM

Definitions

The phrases “termination of service” or “termination of employment” as used in the Plan and the Agreement shall mean the Participant’s Termination of Employment. For this purpose, “Termination of Employment” means the time when the employee-employer relationship between the Participant and the Company or any subsidiary is terminated for any reason, with or without cause, including, but not by way of limitation, a termination by resignation, discharge, death, disability or retirement; but excluding terminations where there is a simultaneous reemployment or continuing employment of the Participant by the Company or any subsidiary. The Administrator, in its absolute discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to Termination of Employment, including, but not by way of limitation, the question of whether a particular leave of absence constitutes a Termination of Employment.

Participants

The Agreement as amended pursuant to this Exhibit A-1 forms the rules of the employee share scheme applicable to the United Kingdom-based Participants of the Company and any Subsidiaries. Only employees of the Company or any subsidiary are eligible to be granted RSUs or be issued Shares under the Agreement. Other service providers (including consultants or non-employee directors) who are not employees are not eligible to receive RSUs under the Agreement in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, all references in the Agreement to the Participant’s service or termination of service shall be interpreted as references to the Participant’s employment or Termination of Employment.

The following provision shall be added to the Agreement:

Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the grant of the RSUs does not form part of the Participant’s entitlement to remuneration or benefits in terms of his employment with the Company or any subsidiary.

A-1-2

Terms and Conditions

Special Tax Consequences.

Tax and National Insurance Contributions Acknowledgment. The Participant agrees that if the Participant does not pay or the Employer or the Company does not withhold from the Participant, the full amount of all taxes applicable to the taxable income resulting from the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, or the issuance of Shares (the “Tax-Related Items”) that Participant owes due to the vesting of the RSUs, or the release or assignment of the RSUs for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the RSUs (the “Taxable Event”) by 90 days after the end of the tax year in which the Taxable Event occurred, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Employer, effective 90 days after the end of the tax year in which the Taxable Event occurred. The Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the HMRC’s official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by the Participant, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to the Participant by the Employer, by withholding in Shares issued upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs or from the cash proceeds from the sale of Shares or by demanding cash or a cheque from the Participant. The Participant also authorizes the Company to delay the issuance of any Shares to the Participant unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that the Participant is an officer or executive director and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by the Participant within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. The Participant acknowledges that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 10.5 of the Plan.

A-1-3

References to “withholding tax” in the Agreement shall include social insurance contributions including primary and secondary class 1 national insurance contributions.
