B. Section 3 of the Plan provides that the Compensation Committee of the Board (the Committee) shall have the discretion and right to grant Awards, including Stock Unit Awards representing rights to receive shares, to any Employees or Non-Employee Directors, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any additional terms provided by the Committee. The Committee has made a Stock Unit Award to the Grantee as of the Grant Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

Agreement
1. Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee under Section 10 of the Plan _____ restricted stock units (the Restricted Stock Units) as of the Grant Date. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share if the Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including no dividend rights and no voting rights, with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and such Shares are delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. The Grantee is required to pay no cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Restricted Stock Units and related rights are nontransferable as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture in the event the Grantees Continuous Service terminates in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) sales of Shares delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the Companys policies regulating trading by Employees or Non-Employee Directors, including any applicable blackout or other designated periods in which sales of Shares are not permitted, (iv) Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to the Restrictive Covenants specified in Section 7 of this Agreement and any recoupment or Clawback Policy in effect on the Grant Date or as adopted following the Grant Date to comply with applicable law, including the forfeiture and clawback rights specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, regardless of whether such recoupment or Clawback Policy is applied with prospective or retroactive effect, and (v) any entitlement to dividend equivalents will be in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. The extent to which the Grantees rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement.
2. Vesting. Except as may be otherwise provided in Section 3, Section 6 or Section 7 of this Agreement, the vesting of the Grantees rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2. The Grantees rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and non-forfeitable at the rate of thirty percent (30%) of the initial Restricted Stock Units on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional thirty percent (30%) of the initial Restricted Stock Units on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, and an additional forty percent (40%) of the initial Restricted Stock Units on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, provided that the Grantees Continuous Service does not terminate prior to the applicable vesting date. A date at which a Restricted Stock Unit is to become vested under this Section 2 is referred to herein as a Stated Vesting Date.
3. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested on the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred:
(a) shall become fully vested on the first anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (the Change in Control Anniversary) if the Grantees Continuous Service does not terminate prior to the Change in Control Anniversary;
(b) shall become fully vested on the Date of Termination if the Grantees Continuous Service terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Grantee for Good Reason; or
(c) shall not become fully vested if the Grantees Continuous Service terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the Grantee without Good Reason, but only to the extent such Restricted Stock Units have not previously become vested.
This Section 3 shall supersede the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement only to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and it shall not result in a delay of any vesting or non-vesting of any Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would occur at a Stated Vesting Date under the terms of the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Section 3, the following definitions shall apply:
(d) Cause means:
(i) The Grantees conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or
(ii) The Grantees continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the performance of the Grantees duties after receipt of written notice from the Company concerning such misconduct;
provided, however, that for purposes of Section 3(d)(ii), Cause shall not include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligence or any act or omission believed by the Grantee in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interest of the Company (without intent of the Grantee to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).
4. Timing and Manner of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Settlement Timing. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the Grantee will have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units will be settled under this Section 4 by the Company delivering to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death) a number of Shares equal to the number of
2
Restricted Stock Units that have become vested and non-forfeitable and are to be settled at the applicable settlement date. In the case of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable at a Stated Vesting Date in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, such Restricted Stock Units will be settled at a date (the Stated Settlement Date) that is as prompt as practicable after the Stated Vesting Date but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after such Stated Vesting Date (settlement that is prompt but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the applicable vesting date or vesting event is referred to herein as Prompt Settlement). The settlement of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable in circumstances governed by Section 3 or Section 6 will be as follows:
(i) Restricted Stock Units that do not constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A will be settled as follows:
(A) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(a) (due to the Grantees death) will be settled within the period extending to not later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the later of the end of calendar year or the end of the Companys fiscal year in which death occurred;
(B) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantees termination due to Disability) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantees Continuous Service; and
(C) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary) or Section 3(b) (during the one-year period following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the applicable vesting date or vesting event under Section 3(a) or 3(b).
(ii) Restricted Stock Units that constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A (409A RSUs) will be settled as follows:
(A) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(a) (due to the Grantees death) will be settled on the 30th day after the date of the Grantees death;
(B) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantees termination due to Disability) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantees Continuous Service, subject to Section 10(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and
(C) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary), if in connection with the Change in Control there occurred a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a 409A Change in Control), will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the first anniversary of the 409A Change in Control, and if there occurred no 409A Change in Control in connection with the Change in Control, such 409A RSUs will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the earliest of the applicable Stated Vesting Date, one year after a 409A Change in Control not related to the Change in Control or the termination of the Grantees Continuous Service, subject to Section 10(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and
(D) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) (during the one-year period following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantees Continuous Service, subject to Section 10(b) (including the six-month delay rule).
3
(b) Manner of Settlement. The Company may make delivery of Shares in settlement of Restricted Stock Units by either delivering one or more certificates representing such Shares to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death), registered in the name of the Grantee (and any joint name, if so directed by the Grantee), or by depositing such Shares into a stock brokerage account maintained for the Grantee (or of which the Grantee is a joint owner, with the consent of the Grantee). If the Company determines to settle Restricted Stock Units by making a deposit of Shares into such an account, the Company may settle any fractional Restricted Stock Unit by means of such deposit. In other circumstances or if so determined by the Company, the Company shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional Share, on such basis as the Committee may determine. In no event will the Company issue fractional Shares.
(c) Effect of Settlement. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantees successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Restricted Stock Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above in order to be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Grantee or beneficiary of a Grantee shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Stock was different on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Shares and related dividend equivalents).
5. Restrictions on Transfer. The Grantee shall not have the right to make or permit to occur any transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, and the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Grantee will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Restricted Stock Units upon the death of the Grantee, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Committee. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 5 shall be deemed null and void.
6. Forfeiture and Clawback; Termination due to Death or Disability. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Grantee shall forfeit all of his rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents if his Continuous Service terminates for any reason before the Restricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement, or if the Grantee violates the Restrictive Covenant provisions specified in Section 7 or if the Grantee commits an act or omission constituting Cause as defined in Section 2 of the Plan, including but not limited to a substantial violation of the Companys Code of Conduct. If the Grantee violates the Restrictive Covenant provisions specified in Section 7 or if the Grantee commits an act or omission constituting Cause as defined in Section 2 of the Plan, the Grantee must reimburse the Company the full value of any vested Restricted Stock Units and the Shares of Common Stock issued, determined as of the vesting date or vesting event, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights. The forfeiture and clawback rights under this Section apply irrespective of whether the conduct was discovered during the course of the Grantees employment.
(a) Death. In the event that the Grantees Continuous Service terminates due to death at a time that any of the Grantees Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, such Restricted Stock Units shall not be forfeited but instead shall become fully vested at the date of death.
(b) Disability. In the event that the Grantees Continuous Service terminates due to Disability at a time that any of the Grantees Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, such Restricted Stock Units shall not be forfeited but instead shall become fully vested at the date of termination, provided that such accelerated vesting will only apply if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(c).
4
(c) Execution of Separation Agreement and Release. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, as a condition to the accelerated vesting of Restricted Stock Units under Section 6(b), the Grantee shall be required to execute a separation agreement and release, in a form prescribed by the Committee, setting forth reincorporated, updated or revised covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisparagement, confidentiality and similar covenants for the protection of the Companys business, and releasing the Company from liability in connection with the Grantees termination. Such agreement shall provide for the forfeiture and/or clawback of the Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(b), and the Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, in the event of the Grantees failure to comply with the terms of such agreement. The Committee will provide the form of such agreement to the Grantee, and the Grantee must execute and return such form within the period specified by law and not revoke such agreement within any permitted revocation period (the end of these periods being the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline). If any Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(b) or related rights would be required to be settled before the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline, the settlement shall not be delayed pending the receipt and effectiveness of the agreement, but any such Restricted Stock Units or related rights settled before such receipt and effectiveness shall be subject to clawback in the event that the agreement is not received and effective and not revoked by the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline.
7. Restrictive Covenants. The Company and including its Subsidiaries (Jabil) is the owner and possessor of numerous trade secrets and highly-sensitive business information about its finances, operations, business development / acquisition / divestiture / merger methods and strategies, customers (and potential customers), vendors (and potential vendors), employees, contractors and consultants and other matters that could be valuable to Jabils competitors. The Grantee is in possession of such sensitive information acquired during Jabil employment and, further, the Grantee has developed valuable contacts and relationships with Jabil customers (and potential customers), vendors (and potential vendors), acquisition targets and representatives, employees, contractors and consultants.
(a) As the Award is intended to encourage the Grantee to continue employment with Jabil, during which time the Grantee will have access to Jabils confidential information and trade secrets, during the term of the Grantees employment and for a period of one (1) year following the separation from employment, regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, the Grantee shall not, without the written consent of the General Counsel of the Company or his/her designee:
(i) perform duties or undertake responsibilities in any capacity for a Competitor in the same countries or regions that the Grantee previously performed services during the two (2) year period preceding Grantees separation from employment that are the same or substantially similar to those duties or responsibilities that the Grantee performed or undertook for Jabil during such two (2) year period;
(ii) interfere with or engage in any activity to persuade or attempt to persuade any person or entity that has a business relationship with Jabil to not do business with or cease doing business with Jabil, to reduce the amount of business historically done with Jabil or to otherwise alter the actual business relationship with Jabil; or
(iii) solicit any Jabil employee to end or modify his/her relationship with Jabil for employment outside of Jabil.
5
(b) Unless compelled by subpoena or as otherwise permitted under this Section 7, Grantee will not at any time use or talk about, write about, disclose in any manner or publicize:
(i) Jabils business, operations or employment data, policies or practices; or
(ii) The proprietary or trade secret or confidential information of Jabil (including without limitation merger and acquisition strategies, methods, and plans), or of its customers, vendors, merger/acquisition candidates, employees, contractors or consultants.
(c) As used herein, Competitor means
any individual or entity which competes with Jabil or any customers of Jabil with whom Grantee had substantial contact during the two (2) year period preceding Grantees separation from Jabil or any of their current or future parents, subsidiaries, divisions, or direct or indirect affiliates (affiliates to include any entity in which the named entity has or from time to time may have a majority equity interest) anywhere in the world.
The foregoing restrictions shall not apply if the Grantee resides and/or primarily works in the State of California.
(d) During the period of one (1) year following termination of the Grantees employment with Jabil, the Grantee agrees to notify the Company in writing prior to accepting new employment, or engaging in any other activity which may violate this Agreement, and the Grantee agrees to provide in such notice information concerning the anticipated new employment or activity, including, but not limited to: name of employer; address of employer; job title; and scope and responsibilities of the new position. The Grantee recognizes that such duty of notification is not affected by the Grantees belief that such employment may perhaps not violate this Agreement or otherwise be unfairly competitive with Jabil. The Grantees written notice should be addressed to General Counsel of the Company. Provided, however, the foregoing notice requirement shall not apply if the Grantee resides and/or primarily works in the State of California.
(e) During the period of one (1) year following termination of the Grantees employment with Jabil, the Grantee shall provide a copy of Section 7 of this Award Agreement to each new employer before starting in any new employment. The Grantee agrees that the Company may notify any third party about the Grantees obligations under Section 7 of this Award Agreement until such obligations are fulfilled.
(f) If any provision of this Section 7 is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to be severed from the Award Agreement and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of the Award Agreement, all of which shall remain valid and enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the covenants contained in this Section 7 are unenforceable because they are overbroad in some respect, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, the court shall revise or reform any aspect of this Section 7 so as to make the scope of such Section 7 as broad as can be enforced under applicable law. A ruling that any provision of this Section 7 regarding post-employment obligations is unenforceable does not impact the Companys ability to execute rights regarding forfeiture and clawback.
(g) In the event of an anticipated or actual breach by the Grantee of this Section 7, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that damages would not be an adequate remedy to compensate Jabil for the harm to the business of Jabil and, in such event, agrees that Jabil shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and to temporary injunctive relief to prevent or terminate such anticipated or actual breach, provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit any permanent relief to which Jabil may be entitled or the damages otherwise recoverable by Jabil in any such event.
(h) If the Grantee violates any aspect of this Section 7, or any duty of loyalty or confidentiality imposed by law, in addition to any damages that the Grantee may be required to pay, the Grantee understands and agrees that the Grantee shall be required to reimburse Jabil for all its costs incurred to enforce this Agreement, including but not limited to, all attorneys fees.
6
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Section 7 is intended to or shall limit, prevent, impede or interfere with the Grantees non-waivable right, without prior notice to the Company, to provide information to the government, participate in investigations, testify in proceedings regarding Jabils past or future conduct, engage in any activities protected under whistleblower statutes, or to receive and fully retain a monetary award from a government-administered whistleblower award program for providing information directly to a government agency. The Grantee does not need prior authorization from the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and is not required to notify the Company that the Grantee has made such reports or disclosures. Further, the parties acknowledge that, as provided by the Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, Grantee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret made: (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
8. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments.
(a) Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 9).
(b) Adjustments. The number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee shall be subject to adjustment by the Company, in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan, in order to preserve without enlarging the Grantees rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 8(a) in connection with such transaction or event. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, the Committee may determine to adjust the Grantees Restricted Stock Units under this Section 8(b) in lieu of crediting cash dividend equivalents under Section 8(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Restricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.
9. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantees employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantees participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (Tax-Related Items), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantees responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates, if any. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of any award to reduce or eliminate the Grantees liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
7
Grantee shall satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Tax-Related Items by the Company withholding whole Shares which would otherwise be delivered to Grantee upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date on which such withholding obligation arises (the Tax Date), equal to the Tax-Related Items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may elect to satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Tax-Related Items by any of the following means:
(a) a cash payment to the Company;
(b) withholding from the Grantees wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or
(c) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.
To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable withholding rates but not exceeding the maximum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantees participation in the Plan.
Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantees participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantees obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
10. Code Section 409A.
(a) General. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 10 will apply in order that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise have terms that comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to provide that all Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise have terms that comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company makes no representations that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or avoid any penalties that may apply under Code Section 409A, makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, and will not indemnify or provide a gross up payment to a Grantee (or his beneficiary) for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed under Code Section 409A.
(b) Restrictions on 409A RSUs. In the case of any 409A RSUs, the following restrictions will apply:
(i) Separation from Service. Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Service (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a separation from service within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination for purposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.
8
(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule. The six-month delay rule will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:
(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other than death;
(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and
(C) the Grantee is a specified employee under Code Section 409A.
If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise would occur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:
(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;
(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantees death and for no other reason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and
(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be made more than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.
(c) Other Compliance Provisions. The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units:
(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that is scheduled to vest at a separate Stated Vesting Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.
(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Company may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantees Continuous Service) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.
(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).
(iv) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with Code Section 409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status of such Restricted Stock Unit as not being a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A.
(v) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid tax penalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term is hereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.
9
(vi) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Stated Vesting Date or other date triggering a right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made.
(vii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability but termination of the Grantees Continuous Service has not in fact resulted immediately without an election by the Grantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantees Continuous Service due to such Disability.
(viii) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409A RSU would have been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within the same year as the settlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section 409A.
11. No Effect on Employment or Rights under the Plan. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee regardless of the effect of such termination of employment on the rights of the Grantee under the Plan or this Agreement. If the Grantees employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever (and whether lawful or otherwise), he will not be entitled to claim any compensation for or in respect of any consequent diminution or extinction of his rights or benefits (actual or prospective) under this Agreement or any Award or otherwise in connection with the Plan. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of his employment with the Company or any Subsidiary will not be affected by his participation in the Plan or this Agreement, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement form part of any contract of employment between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary. The granting of Awards under the Plan is entirely at the discretion of the Committee, and the Grantee shall not in any circumstances have any right to be granted an Award.
12. Governing Laws. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.
13. Successors; Severability; Entire Agreement; Headings. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Grantee and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any rules adopted by the Company or the Committee and applicable to this Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference, this Agreement expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to such terms, restrictions and limitations.

(a) Data Privacy. As communicated in Jabils Notice of Data Collection, Processing and Transfer of Employee Personal Data, as updated from time to time.
Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses personal data about the Grantee, including but not limited to, the Grantees name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards, rights or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised,

vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantees favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Grantees employer. In order for the Grantee to participate in the Plan, the Company will collect his or her personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Companys legal basis for the processing of the Grantees personal data is based on the necessity for Companys performance of its obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Companys legitimate business interests. In those jurisdictions where the Grantees consent to the processing of the Grantees personal data is required, the Grantee expressly and explicitly consents to the collection, processing and transfer practices as described herein.
Stock Plan Administration and Service Providers. The Company may transfer the Grantees data to one or more third party stock plan service providers based in the United States (U.S.), which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Such service provider(s) may open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade Shares. The Grantee may be asked to acknowledge, or agree to, separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s).
International Data Transfers. The Grantees personal data will be transferred from the Grantees country to the U.S., where the Company and its service providers are based. The Companys legal basis for the transfer of the Grantees data to the U.S. is the Grantees consent (where required) or that it is authorized by the Companys use of the standard data protection clauses adopted in accordance with applicable law.
Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantees personal data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantees participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantees personal data, which will generally be seven (7) years after the Grantee participates in the Plan, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Companys legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.
Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdraw. The Grantees participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent, if required, is purely voluntary. The Grantee may reject participation in the Plan or withdraw the Grantees consent, if applicable, at any time. If the Grantee rejects participation in the Plan, does not consent, if applicable, or withdraws his or her consent, if applicable, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Grantees existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that he or she may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantees jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing of data, (v) portability of data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantees jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantees personal data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact his or her local human resources department.
(b) Voluntary Participation. The Grantees participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate agreement between the Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary, the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
11

BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY (INCLUDING DEEMED ACCEPTANCE), THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN, THE PROSPECTUS FOR THE PLAN AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE PLAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE PLAN DOCUMENTS). THE COMPANY WILL DELIVER THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY TO THE GRANTEE BY E-MAIL, BY POSTING SUCH DOCUMENTS ON ITS INTRANET WEBSITE OR BY ANOTHER MODE OF ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AS DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

THE COMPANY WILL SEND TO THE GRANTEE AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT WHEN THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY FOR THE GRANTEES REVIEW, DOWNLOAD OR PRINTING AND WILL PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE THE PLAN DOCUMENTS CAN BE FOUND. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING BY THE COMPANY, THE GRANTEE WILL NOT INCUR ANY COSTS FOR RECEIVING THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE COMPANYS COMPUTER NETWORK. THE GRANTEE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAPER COPIES OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENT BY SENDING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR A PAPER COPY TO THE COMMITTEE. THE GRANTEES CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WILL BE VALID AND REMAIN EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE EARLIER OF (i) THE TERMINATION OF THE GRANTEES PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN AND (ii) THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE GRANTEES CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS. THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE GRANTEE HAS THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO WITHDRAW HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS BY SENDING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL TO THE COMMITTEE. IF THE GRANTEE WITHDRAWS HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE, THE COMPANY WILL RESUME SENDING PAPER COPIES OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT OF THE WITHDRAWAL NOTICE. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS ABLE TO ACCESS, VIEW AND RETAIN AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT INFORMING THE GRANTEE THAT THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN EITHER HTML, PDF OR SUCH OTHER FORMAT AS THE COMPANY DETERMINES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.
(d) Unfunded Plan. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any rights of the Grantee relating to the Grantees Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights shall constitute bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in the Grantee any right to, or claim against, any specific assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for the Grantee. With respect to the Grantees entitlement to any payment hereunder, the Grantee shall be a general creditor of the Company.

COUNTRY APPENDIX
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
This Country Appendix (Appendix) includes the following additional terms and conditions that govern the Grantees Stock Award for all Grantees that reside and/or work outside of the United States.
Notifications
This Country Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantees participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of October 2022. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information in this Country Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantees participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Restricted Stock Units vest, or Shares are delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantees particular situation, and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Committee is in a position to assure the Grantee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantees country of residence and/or work may apply to the Grantees situation.
Finally, if the Grantee transfers employment after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes following the Grant Date, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee, and the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Grantee.
Terms and Conditions Applicable to All Non-U.S. Jurisdictions
English Language. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that it is the Grantees express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, rules, procedures, forms, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Stock Award, be drawn up in English. The Grantee further acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and any rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award. If the Grantee has received this Agreement, the Plan or any other rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
Repatriation; Compliance with Laws. The Grantee agrees, as a condition of the grant of the Stock Award, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Award and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents, and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Agreement) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee. The Company and the Committee reserve the right to impose other requirements on the Grantees participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired or cash payments made pursuant to the Agreement, to the extent the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Committee determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Finally, the Grantee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Grantees personal legal and tax obligations under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee.
14
Commercial Relationship. The Grantee expressly recognizes that the Grantees participation in the Plan and the Companys Stock Award grant does not constitute an employment relationship between the Grantee and the Company. The Grantee has been granted Stock Awards as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Companys Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and the Companys Subsidiary that employs the Grantee is the Grantees sole employer. Based on the foregoing, the Grantee expressly recognizes that (a) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Grantee and the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, (b) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by the Company or the Committee, or a termination of the Plan by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantees employment with the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee.
Private Placement. The grant of the Stock Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Grantees country of residence and/or employment but instead is intended to be a private placement. As a private placement, the Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Stock Award is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.
Additional Acknowledgements. The GRANTEE also acknowledges and agrees to the following:
| The grant of the Stock Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Awards or benefits in lieu of the Stock Award even if Stock Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past. |
| The future value of the Shares and any related dividend equivalents is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. |
| No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the Stock Award or any of the Restricted Stock Units or related dividend equivalents, the termination of the Plan, or the diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or Shares, and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Committee and their affiliates from any such claim that may arise. |
| None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Committee is providing any tax, legal or financial advice or making any recommendations regarding the Grantees participation in the Plan, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Grantees Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantees acquisition or sale of the Shares delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee is hereby advised to consult with his own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. |

If the Grantee would like to participate in the Plan, the Grantee should carefully review the following information about the Companys and the Grantees employers data processing practices.
Data Collection, Processing and Usage. The Company and/or the Grantees employer may collect, process, maintain and use personal data of the Grantee, including, without limitation, data such as name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, financial situation, citizenship, job title or description, any options, Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Restricted Stock Units, options or other rights to purchase Shares canceled, vested, or outstanding in the Grantees favor, which data the Company may receive from the Grantee, the Grantees employer or any other person (all Personal Data) to, among other things related to the Restricted Stock Units and Shares issued pursuant to exercise of the Restricted Stock Units, implement, administer or manage the Plan.

The Grantee hereby agrees and consents to the Company and/or Grantee s employer transferring the Grantees Personal Data to any of such service providers.
Data Transfers. The Grantee consents and agrees to the Grantee s employers transfer to the Company, and the Companys transfer to the Grantee s employer, of any Personal Data of the Grantee.

This means that the Grantees Personal Data will be transferred and disclosed to persons, and maintained, outside of Israel. Israel has enacted data privacy laws that are different from, and may be less protective of the Grantee than, the privacy laws of the State of Delaware and even from other countries in which Plan administration service providers may be based or where Shares may be traded.

Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantees Personal Data to, among other things, implement, administer and manage the Grantees participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantees Personal Data for such purposes, the Company may remove such data from its systems, except that the Company will retain such data longer if it is required to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations, and the Grantee hereby consents to such retention.
23
Voluntariness.

The Grantee may deny or withdraw the Grantees agreements and consents herein to the collection, processing, maintenance, use and transfer of the Grantees Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee denies or withdraws such consent, the Grantee would not be able to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Grantees salary as an employee of the Grantees employer or the Grantees career with the Grantees employer; the Grantee would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
Additional Legal Basis. The Grantee understands and agrees, that the Company and/or the Grantees employer may rely on a legal basis other than the Grantees consent for the collection, processing, maintenance, use or transfer of the Grantees Personal Data. The Grantee further understands, and agrees, that the Company and/or the Grantees employer may request the Grantee to provide another data privacy consent or a data privacy consent acknowledgment or agreement that the Company and/or the Grantees employer may deem necessary or advisable to obtain under current or future data privacy laws in Israel.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Sweden
Authorization to Withhold. This provision supplements Section 9 of the Agreement:
Without limiting the Companys and the Employers authority to satisfy their withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items as set forth in Section 9 of the Agreement, by accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to withhold Shares or to sell Shares otherwise deliverable to the Grantee upon settlement/vesting to satisfy Tax-Related Items, regardless of whether the Company and/or the Employer have an obligation to withhold such Tax-Related Items.
Notifications Applicable to Switzerland
Securities Law Information. The Restricted Stock Units are not intended to be publicly offered in or from Switzerland. Because the offer of the Restricted Stock Units is considered a private offering, it is not subject to registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Restricted Stock Units (a) constitutes a prospectus as such term is understood pursuant to article 35 et. seq. of the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Services (FinSA), (b) may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland to any person other than an employee of the Company, or (c) has been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss reviewing body according to article 51 FinSA or any other Swiss regulatory authority, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA.
Tax Reporting Information. The Grantee will receive an addendum to their annual salary statement, reporting the details of their Stock Awards granted to them. The Grantee is required to file such addendum with their tax return. Furthermore, the Grantee is required to declare all Stock Awards granted to them under the Plan which should not be subject to the net wealth tax, but must be reflected pro memoria in the statement on bank accounts and securities (Wertschriftenverzeichnis) that the Grantee is required to file with their tax return.
Data Privacy Transfer of personal data to the United States. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that their personal data will be transferred to the United States and that there is a risk, in particular, that the rights provided for by Swiss (and EU data protection laws, as applicable) may only be guaranteed to a limited extent and that foreign authorities, i.e. authorities of the United States may gain access to the Grantees personal data with or without the Grantees knowledge. Such access may also result in further tracking and/or observations by foreign authorities.
Notifications Applicable to Taiwan
Securities Law Information. The offer to participate in the Plan is available only for employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The offer to participate in the Plan is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company. Therefore, it is not subject to registration in Taiwan.
Exchange Control Notification. The Grantee may acquire and remit foreign currency (including proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock or the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents) through an authorized foreign exchange bank, into Taiwan, up to US$5,000,000 per year without justification. Remittance of funds related to the sale of shares of common stock should be made through an authorized foreign exchange bank. If the transaction amount is TWD$500,000 or more in a single transaction, the Grantee must submit a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form.
Terms and Conditions Applicable to the United Kingdom
Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 9 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 9 of the Agreement, the Grantee agrees that the Grantee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such taxes, as and when requested by the Company or (if different) the Grantees employer or by Her Majestys Revenue & Customs (HMRC) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Grantee also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and (if different) the Grantees employer against any such taxes that they are required to pay or withhold on the Grantees behalf or have paid or will pay to the HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
30
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a director or executive officer (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 Grantee is a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Grantee within 90 days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or (if different) the Grantees employer for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company or (if different) the Grantees employer may recover from the Grantee at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Agreement.
At the election of the Company, the Grantee shall enter into an election jointly with the Company, pursuant to Section 431 of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA), electing that the market value of the Shares at the time of vesting be calculated as if such shares were not restricted securities, in form prescribed by the Company. Without such election, any gains made on disposal of the Shares may be subject to a partial income tax charge.
In the event the Grantee has failed to make arrangements pursuant to the Tax Withholding section of the Terms, for the amount so indemnified hereunder, the Grantee shall pay to the Company (or such other affiliate, as the case may be) the balance in cash promptly on written demand and in any event within sixty (60) days from the date on which any relevant amount indemnified is due to be accounted for to the applicable tax authority, failing which the Grantee shall also be liable to account to the Company or any affiliate for any additional liability that may arise to the Company or such other affiliate as a result of the operation of Section 222 of ITEPA.
