Employee Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (International)

Terms and Conditions*

 

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to you, subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, an Award of the number of Units specified on the cover page of this Agreement, each representing the right to receive one Share of the Company’s common stock. The Units granted to you will be credited to an account in your name maintained by the Company or its agent. This account shall be unfunded and maintained for book-keeping purposes only, with the Units simply representing an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company.

 

2. Restrictions on Units. Neither this Award nor the Units subject to this Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged or encumbered other than a transfer upon your death in accordance with your will, by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a beneficiary designation submitted in accordance with Section 6(d) of the Plan. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section 2 shall be of no effect and may result in the forfeiture of all Units. The Units and your right to receive Shares in settlement of the Units under this Agreement shall be subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement until satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.

 

3. Vesting of Units.

(a) Scheduled Vesting. If you remain an Employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates continuously from the Grant Date specified on the cover page of this Agreement, then the Units will vest in the numbers and on the dates specified in the vesting schedule on the cover page of this Agreement.

(b) Accelerated Vesting. Vesting of the Units will be accelerated if your Service to the Company or any Affiliate terminates because of your death or Disability, as provided in Section 6(e)(2) of the Plan. Vesting will also be accelerated under the circumstances described in Section 13(d) of the Plan and may be accelerated by action of the Committee in accordance with Sections 3(b)(2), 13(b)(3) and 13(c) of the Plan. Vesting may also be accelerated upon the occurrence of events and in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in any other written agreement you have with the Company.

 

4. Service Requirement. Except as otherwise provided in accordance with Section 3(b) of this Agreement, if you cease to be an Employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates prior to the vesting date(s) specified on the cover page of this Agreement, you will forfeit all unvested Units. Your Service as an Employee will be deemed continuing while you are on a leave of absence approved by the Company in writing or guaranteed by applicable law or other

 

 

* To the extent any capitalized term used in this Agreement is not defined, it has the meaning assigned to it in the Plan as the Plan currently exists or as it is amended in the future.


written agreement you have entered into with the Company (an “Approved Leave”). If you do not resume providing Service as an Employee of the Company or any Affiliate following your Approved Leave, your Service will be deemed to have terminated upon the expiration of the Approved Leave.

 

5. Settlement of Units. After any Units vest pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, the Company shall, as soon as practicable (but in any event within the period specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) to qualify for a short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code), cause to be issued and delivered to you, or to your designated beneficiary or estate in the event of your death, one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Unit (the date of such issuance being the “Settlement Date”). Delivery of the Shares shall be effected by the electronic delivery of the Shares to a brokerage account maintained for you at E*Trade (or another broker designated by the Company), or by another method provided by the Company, and shall be subject to the withholding provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement and compliance with all applicable legal requirements, including compliance with the requirements of applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws, and shall be in complete satisfaction and settlement of such vested Units.

 

6. Tax Consequences and Withholding. As a condition precedent to the delivery of Shares in settlement of the Units, you are required to make arrangements acceptable to the Company for payment of all income tax, employment tax, payroll tax, social security tax, social insurance, contributions, payment on account obligations, national and local tax or other payments that may be required to be withheld as a result of the issuance of Shares pursuant to the Settlement of the Units (“Withholding Taxes”), in accordance with Section 15 of the Plan.

Until such time as the Company provides notice to the contrary, it will collect the applicable withholding tax obligations through an automatic Share withholding procedure (the “Share Withholding Method”), unless other arrangements acceptable to the Company have been made. Under such procedure, the Company or its agent will withhold, at the Settlement Date, a portion of the Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the Settlement Date) sufficient to cover the amount of such taxes; provided, however, that the number of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the number necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.

The Company will notify you in writing in the event the Share Withholding Method is not available, in which case the Withholding Taxes will be collected from you through one of the following alternatives:

 

  (a) delivery of your authorization to E*Trade (or another broker designated by the Company) to transfer to the Company from your account at such broker the amount of such Withholding Taxes;

 

  (b) the use of the proceeds from a next-day sale of the Shares issued to you, provided that (i) such sale is permissible under the Company’s trading policies governing its securities, (ii) you make an irrevocable commitment, on or before the Settlement Date, to effect such sale of the Shares, and (iii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; or

 

  (c) any other method approved by the Company.
