The Employee acknowledges that he or she may be prohibited from selling or otherwise disposing of such RSU Shares while subject to such guidelines.

3.Events Altering Settlement Date of RSUs; Cancellation.
(a)Death or Disability.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Employee shall die at any time prior to the settlement in full of the RSUs, then, one calendar month after such death, all unsettled RSUs any related Dividend Equivalents shall be settled.
(ii)If, prior to the Retirement Date, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Disability of the Employee, then, one calendar month after such employment termination date, the Company shall complete the settlement in full of the RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents.
(iii)If settlement is by reason of termination due to death, settlement shall be to the beneficiary designated by the Employee for such purpose.
(b)Cancellation of RSUs upon Other Termination of Employment. If, prior to the Retirement Date, the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated other than by reason of the death or Disability of the Employee, then the RSUs and all related Dividend Equivalents shall automatically be cancelled as of the close of business on such employment termination date.
(c)Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if there is a Change in Control at any time prior to the settlement in full of the RSUs, then, upon the Change in Control, the RSUs shall, if applicable, be converted in accordance with Section 18 of the Plan into RSUs with respect to shares of stock of the surviving corporation (or its parent) resulting from such Change in Control and shall be settled in accordance with Section 2 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, subject to cancellation as provided in Section 3; provided, however, that if, on or after the date of the Change in Control and prior to when the RSUs have been settled in full, the Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination Without Cause, then, regardless of the Employee’s age and service at the time of such termination and notwithstanding Section 3(b) to the contrary, none of the RSUs shall be cancelled as of the employment termination date, and the RSUs shall be settled in accordance with Section 2. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a “Qualifying Termination Without Cause” shall mean the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company (including any successor to the Company resulting from the Change in Control) or any of its Subsidiaries is
    2

Exhibit 10.52

terminated by the Company without Cause at a time when the Employee is meeting performance expectations, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
(d)Cancellation of RSUs after Retirement Date. After the Retirement Date but prior to the earlier of (1) the settlement in full of the RSUs or (2) a Change in Control, the RSUs and all related Dividend Equivalents may be cancelled if, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the advice of counsel, the Employee, directly or indirectly:
(i)breaches any obligation to the Company under any agreement relating to assignment of inventions, disclosure of information or data, or similar matters; or
(ii)competes with the Company, or renders competitive services as a Chief Executive Officer or other senior executive (excluding services as a board member) to, or owns more than a 5% interest in, any person or entity that competes with the Company; or
(iii)solicits, diverts or takes away any person who is an employee of the Company or advises or induces any employee to terminate his or her employment with the Company; or
(iv)solicits, diverts or takes away any person or entity that is a customer of the Company, or advises or induces any customer or potential customer not to do business with the Company; or
(v)discloses to any person or entity other than the Company, or makes any use of, any information relating to the technology, know how, products, business or data of the Company or its Subsidiaries, suppliers, licensors or customers, including but not limited to the names, addresses and special requirements of the customers of the Company.
(e)Clawback. As an additional condition of receiving this Award, the Employee agrees and acknowledges that the Award shall be subject to repayment to the Company in whole or in part in the event of a financial restatement or in such other circumstances as may be required by applicable law or as may be provided in any clawback policy that is adopted by the Company.
(f)Termination Date. The employment termination date shall occur (regardless of the reason of termination and whether or not the termination was in breach of applicable labor laws or the Employee’s employment contract, if any) effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable law or contractual right. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the RSUs (including whether the Employee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 3(a), the Employee is not entitled to pro-rata vesting of any RSUs if the Employee is employed for only a portion of the vesting period.

Exhibit 10.52


4.Withholding and Taxes.
(a)If the Company and/or the Employer are obligated to withhold an amount on account of any federal, state or local tax imposed as a result of the grant or settlement of the RSUs pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”), including, without limitation, any federal, state or other income tax, or any F.I.C.A., state disability insurance tax or other employment tax (the date upon which the Company and/or the Employer becomes so obligated shall be referred to herein as the “Withholding Date”), then the Employee shall pay to the Company on the Withholding Date, the aggregate amount that the Company and the Employer are so obligated to withhold, as such amount shall be determined by the Company (the “Withholding Liability”), which payment shall be made by the automatic cancellation by the Company of a portion of the RSU Shares; provided that the Company is not then prohibited from purchasing or acquiring such shares of Common Stock (such shares to be valued on the basis of the aggregate Fair Market Value thereof on the Withholding Date, plus the value of the Dividend Equivalents associated with such shares on the Withholding Date); and provided further that the RSU Shares to be cancelled shall be those that would otherwise have been delivered to the Employee the soonest upon settlement of the RSUs; and provided further, however, that the Employee may, on or before the Withholding Date, irrevocably elect to instead pay to the Company, by check or wire transfer delivered or made within one business day after the Withholding Date, an amount equal to or greater than the Withholding Liability.
(b)The Employee acknowledges that neither the Company nor the Employer has made any representation or given any advice to the Employee with respect to Taxes.

The RSUs are granted pursuant to the Plan, as in effect on the Grant Date, and are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive the Employee, without his or her consent, of the RSUs or of any of the Employee’s rights under this Agreement. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of the Plan, this Agreement and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee for the purpose of administering the Plan shall be final and binding upon the Employee.

Exhibit 10.52

(d)the Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)the future value of the RSUs and the RSU Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(f)the RSUs and RSU Shares, and the income from and value of same, are an extraordinary item which does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment or service contract, if any;
(g)the RSUs and the RSU Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(h)the RSUs and the RSU Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, any holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards or pension or retirement or welfare benefits, or any similar payments;
(i)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the RSU Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Employee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary; and

15.Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, United States of America, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Any action, suit or proceeding to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to resolve any dispute or controversy arising under or in any way relating to this Agreement, shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts in the State of Nevada, United States of America, and the parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to venue in such courts, whether on the basis of the doctrine of “forum non conveniens” or otherwise.

Exhibit 10.52

16.Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waivers.
This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not stated or incorporated by reference herein, shall bind either party hereto. Except as set forth in Section 19 or Section 21, none of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or canceled except by a writing, signed by the parties hereto specifying such amendment, modification, waiver or cancellation. A waiver by either party at any time of compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be considered a modification, cancellation or consent to a future waiver of such terms and conditions or of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, unless expressly so stated. Any failure or delay on the part of either party to exercise any remedy or right under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver. The failure of either party to require performance of any of the terms, covenants, or provisions of this Agreement by the other party shall not constitute a waiver of any of the rights under the Agreement. No forbearance by either party to exercise any rights or privileges under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver, but all rights and privileges shall continue in effect as if no forbearance had occurred. No covenant or condition of this Agreement may be waived except by the written consent of the waiving party.
17.Section 409A Compliance.
Payments under this Agreement are designed to be made in a manner that is exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) as a “short-term deferral,” and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly (or disregarded to the extent such provision cannot be so administered, interpreted, or construed).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, upon the advice of its counsel, the Company determines that the settlement of an RSU Share pursuant to this Agreement is or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A (“409A Taxes”) as applicable at the time such settlement is otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payment may be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid 409A Taxes. In particular:
(a)if the Employee is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations, such settlement shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the first business day following the expiration of six months from the Employee’s separation from service, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or (iii) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A (the “Settlement Delay Period”); and
(b)if all or any part of such RSU Share has been converted into cash pursuant to Section 6 hereof, then:
(i)upon settlement of such RSU Share, such cash shall be increased by an amount equal to interest thereon for the Settlement Delay Period at a rate equal to
    8

Exhibit 10.52

the default rate credited to amounts deferred under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan; provided, however, that such rate shall be calculated on a monthly average basis rather than a daily basis; and
(ii)the Company shall fund the payment of such cash to the Employee upon settlement of such RSU Share, including the interest to be paid with respect thereto (collectively, the “Delayed Cash Payment”), by establishing and irrevocably funding a trust for the benefit of the Employee, but only if the establishment of such trust does not result in any taxes or penalties becoming due under Section 409A(b). Such trust shall be a grantor trust described in Section 671 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and intended not to cause tax to be incurred by the Employee until amounts are paid out from the trust to the Employee. The trust shall provide for distribution of amounts to the Employee in order to pay taxes, if any, that become due on the amounts as to which payment is being delayed during the Settlement Delay Period pursuant to this Section 17, but only to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code without the imposition of 409A Taxes. The establishment and funding of such trust shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the Delayed Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 17.
18.No Advice Regarding RSUs.
The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan, or the Employee’s acquisition or sale of RSU Shares. The Employee should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

19.Compliance with Law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the RSU Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any RSU Shares issuable upon settlement of the RSUs prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the RSU Shares under any federal, state, or local securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining approval or other clearance from any federal, state, or local governmental agency, which registration, qualification, or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion deem necessary or advisable. The Employee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the RSU Shares with the SEC or any state securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or the sale of the RSU Shares. Further, the Employee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend this Agreement without the Employee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of RSU Shares.

    9

Exhibit 10.52

20.Electronic Delivery and Participation.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means or request the Employee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

21.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws.
The Employee acknowledges that the Employee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Employee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell, or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock, rights to shares of Common Stock, or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock (e.g., phantom awards, futures) during such times as the Employee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by applicable laws or regulations). Insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Employee places before possessing inside information. Furthermore, the Employee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Keep in mind third parties include fellow employees.

Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Employee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Employee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

22.Severability.
The provisions of the Agreement are severable and any provision of the Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of the Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.

23.Imposition of Other Requirements.
The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any RSU Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
