The Executive hereby waives and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that the Executive now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.
(ii) The Executive agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Companys sole cost and expense, the Executive shall do any and all things that the Company may reasonably deem useful or desirable to establish or document the Companys exclusive ownership throughout the United States of America or any other country of any and all Proprietary Rights in any such Inventions, including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate copyright and/or patent applications or assignments. To the extent the Executive has any Proprietary Rights in the Inventions that cannot be assigned in the manner described above, the Executive unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such Proprietary Rights. This Section 7(c)(ii) is subject to and shall not be deemed to limit, restrict or constitute any waiver by the Company of any Proprietary Rights of ownership to which the Company may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of the Executives employment with, or service to, the Company. The Executive further agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Companys sole cost and expense, the Executive shall assist the Company in every proper and lawful way to obtain and from time to time enforce Proprietary Rights relating to Inventions in any and all countries. To this end, the Executive shall execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining, and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, the Executive shall execute, verify, and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designees. The Executives obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of the Executives employment with the Company.
(d) As used in this Section 7, the term Company shall include Parent, the Company, and any direct or indirect subsidiaries thereof or any successors thereto.

(e) Protected Disclosures.
(i) Nothing in this Agreement will preclude, prohibit or restrict the Executive from (A) communicating with, any federal, state or local administrative or regulatory agency or authority, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC); (B) participating or cooperating in any investigation conducted by any governmental agency or authority; or (C) filing a charge of discrimination with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal state or local administrative agency or regulatory authority.
(ii) Nothing in this Agreement, or any other agreement between the parties, prohibits or is intended in any manner to prohibit, the Executive from (A) reporting a possible violation of federal or other applicable law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including the Department of Justice, the SEC, the U.S. Congress, and any governmental agency Inspector General, or (B) making other disclosures that are protected under whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. This Agreement does not limit the Executives right to receive an award (including, without limitation, a monetary reward) for information provided to the SEC. The Executive does not need the prior authorization of anyone at the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and the Executive is not required to notify the Company that the Executive has made such reports or disclosures.
(iii) Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement or policy of the Company is intended to interfere with or restrain the immunity provided under 18 U.S.C. §1833(b). The Executive cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (A) (1) in confidence to federal, state or local government officials, directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (2) for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (B) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if filed under seal; or (C) in connection with a lawsuit alleging retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, if filed under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to a court order.
(iv) The foregoing provisions regarding protected disclosures are intended to comply with all applicable laws. If any laws are adopted, amended or repealed after the execution of this Agreement, this Section 7(e) shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the same.
8. Injunctive Relief. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 6 and 7 will cause irreparable damage to the Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 6 and 7, in addition to any other remedy that may be available at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief (without posting a bond). In the event of any breach or violation by the Executive of any of the covenants contained in Section 6 and 7, the time period of such covenant with respect to the Executive shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be tolled until such breach or violation is resolved.
9. Indemnification. During the Executives employment and service as a director or officer (or both) and at all times thereafter during which the Executive may be subject to liability, the
13
Executive shall be entitled to the protection set forth in the Indemnification Agreement between the Executive and the Company, dated February 4, 2014, in addition to the protection of any insurance policies the Company may elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its directors and officers against all costs, charges, and expenses incurred or sustained by him in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as well as any rights the Executive may have under the Companys articles of incorporation and bylaws (in each case, other than any dispute, claim, or controversy arising under or relating to this Agreement or otherwise arising under or relating to the Executives employment, equity ownership or compensation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Executives rights under this Section 9 shall survive the termination of his employment for any reason and the expiration of this Agreement for any reason.
10. Cooperation. The Executive agrees that, subject to the Executives reasonable availability, during and after the Executives employment by the Company, and without the necessity of the Company obtaining a subpoena or court order, the Executive shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with any suit, action or proceeding (or any appeal from any suit, action or proceeding), and any investigation and/or defense of any claims asserted against the Company Releasees (as defined in the Release), which relates to events occurring during the Executives employment (including furnishing relevant information and materials to the Company or its designee and/or providing testimony at depositions and at trial); provided that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses the Executive incurs that are associated with any such cooperation; provided further that any such cooperation occurring after the termination of the Executives employment shall be scheduled to the extent reasonably practicable so as not to unreasonably interfere with the Executives business or personal affairs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the preceding cooperation covenant shall not apply to any suit, action, proceeding, investigation, defense or claim that arises out of or relates to a dispute between the Executive and any of the Company Releasees.
11. Section 409A of the Code.
(a) General. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with, and incorporate the terms and conditions required by, Section 409A of the Code and the 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 Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be taxable currently to the Executive under Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Company and the Executive shall cooperate in good faith to (i) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that they mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement, and to avoid less-favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company, and/or (ii) take such other actions as mutually determined to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A of the Code or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder; provided, however, that this
14
Section 11(a) does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify this Agreement and does not guarantee that the amounts payable hereunder will not be subject to interest or penalties under Section 409A, and in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on the Executive as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
(b) Separation from Service under Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) no amount shall be payable pursuant to Section 5(a) or (b) unless the termination of the Executives employment constitutes a separation from service within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Department of Treasury Regulations; (ii) if the Executive is deemed at the time of his separation from service to be a specified employee for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent that delayed commencement of any portion of the termination benefits to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such termination benefits under Section 409A), including, without limitation, any portion of the additional compensation awarded pursuant to Section 5(a) or (b), is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of the Executives termination benefits shall not be provided to the Executive prior to the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executives separation from service with the Company (as such term is defined in the Department of Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A) and (B) the date of the Executives death; provided, that upon the earlier of such dates, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 11(b)(ii) shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein; (iii) the determination of whether the Executive is a specified employee for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of his separation from service shall be made by the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder (including, without limitation, Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Department of Treasury Regulations and any successor provision thereto); (iv) for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the Executives right to receive installment payments pursuant to Section 5 shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments; (v) if the sixty day period following the Date of Termination ends in the calendar year following the year that includes the Date of Termination, then payment of any amount that is conditioned upon the execution of the Release and is subject to Section 409A shall not be paid until the first day of the calendar year following the year that includes the Date of Termination, regardless of when the Release is signed; and (vi) to the extent that any reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A, such reimbursement or benefit shall be provided no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year. The amount of any in-kind benefits provided in one year shall not affect the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other year.
12. Section 280G of the Code.
(a) If there is a change of ownership or effective control or change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) and any payment or benefit (including payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement)
15
that the Executive would receive from the Company or otherwise (Transaction Payment) would (i) constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the Excise Tax), then the Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Transaction Payment are paid to the Executive, which of the following two alternative forms of payment would result in the Executives receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Transaction Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Transaction Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax: (1) payment in full of the entire amount of the Transaction Payment (a Full Payment), or (2) payment of only a part of the Transaction Payment so that the Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a Reduced Payment). For purposes of determining whether to make a Full Payment or a Reduced Payment, the Company shall cause to be taken into account all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes). If a Reduced Payment is made, the reduction in payments and/or benefits will occur in the following order: (1) first, reduction of cash payments, in reverse order of scheduled payment date (or if necessary, to zero), (2) then, reduction of non-cash and non-equity benefits provided to the Executive, on a pro rata basis (or if necessary, to zero), and (3) then, cancellation of the acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executives equity awards.
(b) Unless the Executive and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this section shall be made in writing by the Companys independent public accountants (the Accountants), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Accountants shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and the Executive as requested by the Company or the Executive. The Executive and the Company shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 12(b).
13. Assignment and Successors. The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any entity, including any successor to all or substantially all the assets of the Company, by merger or otherwise, and may assign or encumber this Agreement and its rights hereunder as security for indebtedness of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive may not assign his rights or obligations under this Agreement to any individual or entity. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel, legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable.

Use of the term or is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
2. CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE AWARD.
2.1 Compliance with Local Law. The Participant agrees that the Participant will not acquire shares pursuant to the Award, or transfer, assign, sell or otherwise deal in such shares except in compliance with Local Law.
28
2.2 Employment Conditions. By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Any notice period mandated under Local Law shall not be treated as Service for the purpose of determining the vesting of the Award; and the Participants right to receive shares in settlement of the Award after termination of Service, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Participants active Service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under Local Law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of the Plan, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Participants Service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Grant Notice, if the Participant is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason (each as defined in the Participants employment agreement with the Company dated April 26, 2018) prior to the settlement of the Award, the Participant will remain eligible to vest (determined in accordance with the terms set forth in the Grant Notice) in a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units on the Certification Date, determined by multiplying the total number of Restricted Stock Units remaining outstanding and unvested immediately prior to such termination by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that the Participant provided continuous Service during the Performance Period, and the denominator of which is the number of full months in the full Performance Period. All Restricted Stock Units in excess of the pro rata portion thereof that remains outstanding in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto. If a Change in Control occurs upon or following such termination and prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Restricted Stock Units remaining outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Change in Control (after application of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(b)) shall vest and become non-forfeitable at the target level of achievement (determined in accordance with the Grant Notice) immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and the date that the Change in Control is consummated shall be the Settlement Date for purposes of Section 7 hereof.
(c) The vesting of the Award shall cease upon, and no Units shall vest following, the Participants termination of Service for any reason other than as set forth in Section 2.2 (b). Further, all unvested Units will be forfeited and cancelled and the Participant will not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
(d) The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company. It is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement.
(e) The grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.
(f) All decisions with respect to future Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.
(g) The Participants participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Service with any Participating Company and shall not interfere with the ability of any Participating Company to terminate the Participants Service at any time, with or without cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law.
29
(h) The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(i) The Award and resulting shares, if any, are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for Service of any kind rendered to any Participating Company, and which is outside the scope of the Participants employment contract, if any.
(j) The Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
(k) In the event that the Participant is not an employee of the Company, the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any other Participating Company.
(l) The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the Participant obtains shares upon settlement of the Award, the value of those shares may increase or decrease.
(m) In consideration of the grant of an Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Award or diminution in value of the Award or shares acquired upon settlement of the Award resulting from termination of the Participants Service (for any reason whether or not in breach of Local Law) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and each other Participating Company from any such claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen then, by signing this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participants entitlement to pursue such a claim.
2.3 Data Privacy Consent.
(a) THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF THE PARTICIPANTS PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT BY AND AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THE PARTICIPATING COMPANY GROUP FOR THE EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE PARTICIPANTS PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

4. THE AWARD.
4.1 Grant of Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Total Number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Grant
31
Notice, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 and Section 10. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, each Unit represents a right to receive on a date determined in accordance with the Grant Notice and this Agreement one (1) share of Stock.
4.2 No Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Units or shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units, the consideration for which shall be past services actually rendered or future services to be rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units.
4.3 Dividend Equivalent Units. On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a) the product of (i) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii) the total number of Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited to the Participant pursuant to the Award and which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined below) as of such date, by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Any resulting fractional Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Such additional Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
5. VESTING OF UNITS.
Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement shall become Vested Units as provided in the Grant Notice. Dividend Equivalent Units shall become Vested Units at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
6. COMPANY REACQUISITION RIGHT.
6.1 Grant of Company Reacquisition Right. In the event that the Participants Service with a Participating Company is terminated by the Participating Company for Cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law the Participant shall forfeit and the Company shall automatically reacquire all Units (whether vested or unvested), and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the Company Reacquisition Right).
7. SETTLEMENT OF THE AWARD.
7.1 Issuance of Shares of Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 below, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date upon which Units vest (such date, the Settlement Date) (but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs), the Company shall issue to the Participant with respect to each such Vested Unit one (1) share of Stock. Shares of Stock issued in settlement of Units
32
shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such restriction as may be required pursuant to Section 7.3, Section 7 or the Companys Trading Compliance Policy or any stock ownership guidelines or holding period guidelines established by the Board from time to time.
7.2 Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit any or all shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award with the Companys transfer agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry form, or to deposit such shares for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the Company has notice. Except as provided by the foregoing, a certificate for the shares acquired by the Participant shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.
7.3 Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of United States federal, state law and Local Law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable United States federal, state, or Local Law, or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, or the impracticality of doing so, deemed by the Companys legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
7.4 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the settlement of the Award.
8. TAX WITHHOLDING.
Regardless of any action the Company or the Participants employer (the Employer) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (Tax-Related Items), the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participants responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Units, including the grant and vesting of Units, subsequent delivery of shares and/or cash related to such Units or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to such Units and receipt of any dividend equivalent payments (if any) and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of Units to reduce or eliminate the Participants liability for Tax-Related Items. The Participant shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participants participation in the Plan or the Participants receipt of Units that cannot be satisfied by the means described below. Further, if the Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the
33
Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participants obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items; provided that the arrangement in clause (1) of the following sentence shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the extent that it alone, or combined with any other arrangement satisfactory to the Board, satisfies the Participants obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Participant by (1) withholding a number of Shares otherwise deliverable equal to the Retained Share Amount (as defined below), (2) withholding from the Participants wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or Employer; and/or (3) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by the Company (on the Participants behalf pursuant to this authorization), to the extent permitted by the Administrator. The Retained Share Amount shall mean a number of shares equal to the quotient of the statutory tax withholding obligation of the Company triggered by the Units on the relevant date, divided by the Fair Market Value of one share on the relevant date or as otherwise provided in the Plan. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant understands that he or she will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the settled 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 the settlement of the Units.
The Participant acknowledges and understands that the Participant should consult a tax adviser regarding the Participants tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.
9. EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL.
In the event of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, subject to the Participants continued Service on the date that such Change in Control is consummated, the Target Award (and any Dividend Equivalent Units associated therewith) will vest and the date that the Change in Control is consummated will be treated as the Settlement Date for purposes of Section 7 hereof. No Restricted Stock Units in excess of the Target Award shall vest pursuant to this Agreement and all Restricted Stock Units in excess of the Target Award shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
10. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of
34
payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Companys dividend policy) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number of Units subject to the Award and/or the number and kind of shares or other property to be issued in settlement of the Award, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participants rights under the Award. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Companys dividend policy, which shall be treated in accordance with Section 4.3) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of ownership of Units acquired pursuant to this Award will be immediately subject to the provisions of this Award on the same basis as all Units originally acquired hereunder. Any fractional Unit or share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall be determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
11. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT.
The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares which may be issued in settlement of this Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (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 dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4.3 and Section 10. If the Participant is an Employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Participant, the Participants employment is at will and is for no specified term unless otherwise required under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Participants Service at any time.
12. LEGENDS.
The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable United States federal, state or non-U.S. securities law, including Local Law, restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Award in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.
13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
13.1 Termination or Amendment. The Committee may terminate or amend the Plan or this Agreement at any time; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 9 in connection with a Change in Control, no such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Participants rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Participant unless such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law or government regulation. No amendment or addition to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.
35
13.2 Nontransferability of the Award. Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock on the applicable Settlement Date, neither this Award nor any Units subject to this Award shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participants beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to the Award shall be exercisable during the Participants lifetime only by the Participant or the Participants guardian or legal representative.
13.3 Further Instruments. The parties hereto agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
13.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, be binding upon the Participant and the Participants heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

EXHIBIT A
Performance Matrix
The Performance Period shall be January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020.
The Performance Goal shall be the three-year total shareholder return (TSR) of the Company relative to the other entities in the S&P Semiconductor Index (the TSR Index). Achievement of the Performance Goal shall be determined by the percentile rank of the Companys TSR relative to the TSR of each other entity in the TSR Index.
Determination of TSR: TSR for the Company and each other entity in the TSR Index shall be determined in accordance with the following formula. TSR shall be equal to the quotient of (a) divided by (b), expressed as a percentage, where:
(a) is equal to the sum of (i) and (ii), where (i) is the difference determined by the Ending Price minus the Starting Price (each as defined below); and (ii) is the sum of all dividends paid on one share of common stock during the Performance Period, provided that all dividends are treated as reinvested at the time paid; and
(b) is equal to the Starting Price.
For purposes of determining TSR:
(i) Starting Price means the volume-weighted average price of one share of common stock on the applicable stock exchange during the 30 days immediately preceding the first day of the Performance Period.
(ii) Ending Price means the volume-weighted average price of one share of common stock on the applicable stock exchange during the 30 days immediately preceding the last day of the Performance Period.

The Companys Rank shall be determined by the Companys position within the ranking of each entity in the TSR Index (including the Company) in descending order based on their respective TSRs (with the highest TSR having a Rank of one). For purposes of developing the ordering provided in the immediately-preceding sentence, (A) any entity that filed for bankruptcy protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code during the Performance Period shall be assigned the lowest order of any entity in the TSR Index, and (B) any entity that is acquired during the Performance Period, or otherwise no longer listed on a national securities exchange at the end of the Performance Period (other than the Company), shall be removed from the TSR Index and shall be excluded for purposes of ordering the entities in the TSR Index (and for purposes of calculating the Companys Percentile).

| Target Performance: If the Companys Percentile equals 60% (the Target Percentile), the Payout Percentage shall be 100%. |
| Maximum Performance: If the Companys Percentile equals 75% (the Maximum Percentile), the Payout Percentage shall be 150%. |
| Supermaximum Performance: If the Companys Percentile equals the Percentile achieved by a Rank of one in the TSR Index, the Payout Percentage shall be 200%. |
| Straight-line interpolation shall be used to determine the Payout Percentage for any Company Percentile between the Threshold Percentile and the Target Percentile and between the Target Percentile and the Maximum Percentile, based upon the Payout Percentages set forth above. |
The following exception exists with respect to the Payout Percentage determination set forth above: If the Companys absolute TSR (irrespective of its Rank or Percentile) is less than 0%, then the Payout Percentage shall be 0%.

Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term or is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
2. CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE AWARD.
2.1 Compliance with Local Law. The Participant agrees that the Participant will not acquire shares pursuant to the Award, or transfer, assign, sell or otherwise deal in such shares except in compliance with Local Law.
46
2.2 Employment Conditions. By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Any notice period mandated under Local Law shall not be treated as Service for the purpose of determining the vesting of the Award; and the Participants right to receive shares in settlement of the Award after termination of Service, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Participants active Service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under Local Law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of the Plan, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Participants Service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Grant Notice, if the Participant is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason (each as defined in the Participants employment agreement with the Company dated April 26, 2018) prior to the settlement of the Award, the Participant will remain eligible to vest (determined in accordance with the terms set forth in the Grant Notice) in a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units on the Certification Date, determined by multiplying the total number of Restricted Stock Units remaining outstanding and unvested immediately prior to such termination by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that the Participant provided continuous Service during the Performance Period, and the denominator of which is the number of full months in the full Performance Period. All Restricted Stock Units in excess of the pro rata portion thereof that remains outstanding in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto. If a Change in Control occurs upon or following such termination and prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Restricted Stock Units remaining outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Change in Control (after application of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(b)) shall vest and become non-forfeitable at the target level of achievement (determined in accordance with the Grant Notice) immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and the date that the Change in Control is consummated shall be the Settlement Date for purposes of Section 7 hereof.
(c) The vesting of the Award shall cease upon, and no Units shall vest following, the Participants termination of Service for any reason other than as set forth in Section 2.2 (b). Further, all unvested Units will be forfeited and cancelled and the Participant will not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
(d) The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company. It is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement.
(e) The grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.
(f) All decisions with respect to future Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.
(g) The Participants participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Service with any Participating Company and shall not interfere with the ability of any Participating Company to terminate the Participants Service at any time, with or without cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law.
47
(h) The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(i) The Award and resulting shares, if any, are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for Service of any kind rendered to any Participating Company, and which is outside the scope of the Participants employment contract, if any.
(j) The Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
(k) In the event that the Participant is not an employee of the Company, the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any other Participating Company.
(l) The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the Participant obtains shares upon settlement of the Award, the value of those shares may increase or decrease.
(m) In consideration of the grant of an Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Award or diminution in value of the Award or shares acquired upon settlement of the Award resulting from termination of the Participants Service (for any reason whether or not in breach of Local Law) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and each other Participating Company from any such claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen then, by signing this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participants entitlement to pursue such a claim.
2.3 Data Privacy Consent.
(a) THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF THE PARTICIPANTS PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT BY AND AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THE PARTICIPATING COMPANY GROUP FOR THE EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE PARTICIPANTS PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

4. THE AWARD.
4.1 Grant of Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Total Number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Grant
49
Notice, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 and Section 10. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, each Unit represents a right to receive on a date determined in accordance with the Grant Notice and this Agreement one (1) share of Stock.
4.2 No Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Units or shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units, the consideration for which shall be past services actually rendered or future services to be rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units.
4.3 Dividend Equivalent Units. On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a) the product of (i) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii) the total number of Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited to the Participant pursuant to the Award and which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined below) as of such date, by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Any resulting fractional Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Such additional Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
5. VESTING OF UNITS.
Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement shall become Vested Units as provided in the Grant Notice. Dividend Equivalent Units shall become Vested Units at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
6. COMPANY REACQUISITION RIGHT.
6.1 Grant of Company Reacquisition Right. In the event that the Participants Service with a Participating Company is terminated by the Participating Company for Cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law the Participant shall forfeit and the Company shall automatically reacquire all Units (whether vested or unvested), and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the Company Reacquisition Right).
7. SETTLEMENT OF THE AWARD.
7.1 Issuance of Shares of Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 below, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date upon which Units vest (such date, the Settlement Date) (but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs), the Company shall issue to the Participant with respect to each such Vested Unit one (1) share of Stock. Shares of Stock issued in settlement of Units
50
shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such restriction as may be required pursuant to Section 7.3, Section 7 or the Companys Trading Compliance Policy or any stock ownership guidelines or holding period guidelines established by the Board from time to time.
7.2 Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit any or all shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award with the Companys transfer agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry form, or to deposit such shares for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the Company has notice. Except as provided by the foregoing, a certificate for the shares acquired by the Participant shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.
7.3 Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of United States federal, state law and Local Law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable United States federal, state, or Local Law, or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, or the impracticality of doing so, deemed by the Companys legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
7.4 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the settlement of the Award.
8. TAX WITHHOLDING.
Regardless of any action the Company or the Participants employer (the Employer) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (Tax-Related Items), the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participants responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Units, including the grant and vesting of Units, subsequent delivery of shares and/or cash related to such Units or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to such Units and receipt of any dividend equivalent payments (if any) and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of Units to reduce or eliminate the Participants liability for Tax-Related Items. The Participant shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participants participation in the Plan or the Participants receipt of Units that cannot be satisfied by the means described below. Further, if the Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the
51
Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participants obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items; provided that the arrangement in clause (1) of the following sentence shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the extent that it alone, or combined with any other arrangement satisfactory to the Board, satisfies the Participants obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Participant by (1) withholding a number of Shares otherwise deliverable equal to the Retained Share Amount (as defined below), (2) withholding from the Participants wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or Employer; and/or (3) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by the Company (on the Participants behalf pursuant to this authorization), to the extent permitted by the Administrator. The Retained Share Amount shall mean a number of shares equal to the quotient of the statutory tax withholding obligation of the Company triggered by the Units on the relevant date, divided by the Fair Market Value of one share on the relevant date or as otherwise provided in the Plan. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant understands that he or she will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the settled 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 the settlement of the Units.
The Participant acknowledges and understands that the Participant should consult a tax adviser regarding the Participants tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.
9. EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL.
In the event of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, subject to the Participants continued Service on the date that such Change in Control is consummated, the Target Award (and any Dividend Equivalent Units associated therewith) will vest and the date that the Change in Control is consummated will be treated as the Settlement Date for purposes of Section 7 hereof. No Restricted Stock Units in excess of the Target Award shall vest pursuant to this Agreement and all Restricted Stock Units in excess of the Target Award shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
10. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of
52
payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Companys dividend policy) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number of Units subject to the Award and/or the number and kind of shares or other property to be issued in settlement of the Award, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participants rights under the Award. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Companys dividend policy, which shall be treated in accordance with Section 4.3) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of ownership of Units acquired pursuant to this Award will be immediately subject to the provisions of this Award on the same basis as all Units originally acquired hereunder. Any fractional Unit or share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall be determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
11. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT.
The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares which may be issued in settlement of this Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (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 dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4.3 and Section 10. If the Participant is an Employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Participant, the Participants employment is at will and is for no specified term unless otherwise required under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Participants Service at any time.
12. LEGENDS.
The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable United States federal, state or non-U.S. securities law, including Local Law, restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Award in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.
13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
13.1 Termination or Amendment. The Committee may terminate or amend the Plan or this Agreement at any time; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 9 in connection with a Change in Control, no such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Participants rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Participant unless such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law or government regulation. No amendment or addition to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.
53
13.2 Nontransferability of the Award. Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock on the applicable Settlement Date, neither this Award nor any Units subject to this Award shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participants beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to the Award shall be exercisable during the Participants lifetime only by the Participant or the Participants guardian or legal representative.
13.3 Further Instruments. The parties hereto agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
13.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, be binding upon the Participant and the Participants heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

(a) Dividend Equivalent Units mean additional Restricted Stock Units credited pursuant to Section 4.3.

Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term or is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
2. CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE AWARD.
2.1 Compliance with Local Law. The Participant agrees that the Participant will not acquire shares pursuant to the Award, or transfer, assign, sell or otherwise deal in such shares except in compliance with Local Law.
61
2.2 Employment Conditions. By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Any notice period mandated under Local Law shall not be treated as Service for the purpose of determining the vesting of the Award; and the Participants right to receive shares in settlement of the Award after termination of Service, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Participants active Service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under Local Law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of the Plan, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Participants Service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Grant Notice, if the Participant is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason, in each case not in connection with a CIC Qualified Termination (each as defined in the Participants employment agreement with the Company dated April 26, 2018) and prior to the settlement of the Award, the Participant will vest in a pro rata portion of the next tranche of Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest hereunder, determined by multiplying the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units in such tranche by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months from the last vesting date (or, if none, the Grant Date) to the date of such termination and the denominator of which is the number of full months from the last vesting date (or, if none, the Grant Date) to the next vesting date.
(c) If the Participant incurs a CIC Qualified Termination, all unvested Restricted Stock Units will fully vest on the date of such termination.
(d) The vesting of the Award shall cease upon, and no Units shall vest following, the Participants termination of Service for any reason other than as set forth in Section 2.2(b) or (c). Further, all unvested Units will be forfeited and cancelled and the Participant will not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
(e) The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company. It is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement.
(f) The grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.
(g) All decisions with respect to future Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.
(h) The Participants participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Service with any Participating Company and shall not interfere with the ability of any Participating Company to terminate the Participants Service at any time, with or without cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law.
(i) The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
62
(j) The Award and resulting shares, if any, are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for Service of any kind rendered to any Participating Company, and which is outside the scope of the Participants employment contract, if any.
(k) The Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
(l) In the event that the Participant is not an employee of the Company, the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any other Participating Company.
(m) The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the Participant obtains shares upon settlement of the Award, the value of those shares may increase or decrease.
(n) In consideration of the grant of an Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Award or diminution in value of the Award or shares acquired upon settlement of the Award resulting from termination of the Participants Service (for any reason whether or not in breach of Local Law) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and each other Participating Company from any such claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen then, by signing this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participants entitlement to pursue such a claim.
2.3 Data Privacy Consent.
(a) THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF THE PARTICIPANTS PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT BY AND AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THE PARTICIPATING COMPANY GROUP FOR THE EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING, ADMINISTERING AND MANAGING THE PARTICIPANTS PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, each Unit represents a right to receive on a date determined in accordance with the Grant Notice and this Agreement one (1) share of Stock.
64
4.2 No Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Units or shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units, the consideration for which shall be past services actually rendered or future services to be rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units.
4.3 Dividend Equivalent Units. On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a) the product of (i) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii) the total number of Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited to the Participant pursuant to the Award and which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined below) as of such date, by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Any resulting fractional Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Such additional Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
5. VESTING OF UNITS.
Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement shall become Vested Units as provided in the Grant Notice. Dividend Equivalent Units shall become Vested Units at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
6. COMPANY REACQUISITION RIGHT.
6.1 Grant of Company Reacquisition Right. In the event that the Participants Service with a Participating Company is terminated by the Participating Company for Cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law the Participant shall forfeit and the Company shall automatically reacquire all Units (whether vested or unvested), and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the Company Reacquisition Right).
7. Settlement of the Award.
7.1 Issuance of Shares of Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3 below, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date upon which Units vest (such date, the Settlement Date) (but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year of following the calendar year in which the Units vest), the Company shall issue to the Participant with respect to each such Vested Unit one (1) share of Stock. Shares of Stock issued in settlement of Units shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such restriction as may be required pursuant to Section 7.3, Section 7 or the Companys Trading Compliance Policy or any stock ownership guidelines or holding period guidelines established by the Board from time to time.
65
7.2 Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit any or all shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award with the Companys transfer agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry form, or to deposit such shares for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the Company has notice. Except as provided by the foregoing, a certificate for the shares acquired by the Participant shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.
7.3 Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of United States federal, state law and Local Law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable United States federal, state, or Local Law, or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, or the impracticality of doing so, deemed by the Companys legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
7.4 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the settlement of the Award.
8. TAX WITHHOLDING.
Regardless of any action the Company or the Participants employer (the Employer) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (Tax-Related Items), the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participants responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Units, including the grant and vesting of Units, subsequent delivery of shares and/or cash related to such Units or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to such Units and receipt of any dividend equivalent payments (if any) and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of Units to reduce or eliminate the Participants liability for Tax-Related Items. The Participant shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participants participation in the Plan or the Participants receipt of Units that cannot be satisfied by the means described below. Further, if the Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participants obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
66
Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items; provided that the arrangement in clause (1) of the following sentence shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the extent that it alone, or combined with any other arrangement satisfactory to the Board, satisfies the Participants obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Participant by (1) withholding a number of Shares otherwise deliverable equal to the Retained Share Amount (as defined below), (2) withholding from the Participants wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or Employer; and/or (3) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by the Company (on the Participants behalf pursuant to this authorization), to the extent permitted by the Administrator. The Retained Share Amount shall mean a number of shares equal to the quotient of the statutory tax withholding obligation of the Company triggered by the Units on the relevant date, divided by the Fair Market Value of one share on the relevant date or as otherwise provided in the Plan. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant understands that he or she will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the settled 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 the settlement of the Units.
The Participant acknowledges and understands that the Participant should consult a tax adviser regarding the Participants tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.
9. EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL.
The Award shall be subject to the terms of Sections 13(b) and 13(c) of the Plan in the event of a Change in Control.
10. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Companys dividend policy) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number of Units subject to the Award and/or the number and kind of shares or other property to be issued in settlement of the Award, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participants rights under the Award. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Companys dividend policy, which shall be treated in accordance with Section 4.3) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of ownership of Units acquired pursuant to this Award
67
will be immediately subject to the provisions of this Award on the same basis as all Units originally acquired hereunder. Any fractional Unit or share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall be determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
11. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT.
The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares which may be issued in settlement of this Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (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 dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4.3 and Section 10. If the Participant is an Employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Participant, the Participants employment is at will and is for no specified term unless otherwise required under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Participants Service at any time.
12. LEGENDS.
The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable United States federal, state or non-U.S. securities law, including Local Law, restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Award in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.
13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
13.1 Termination or Amendment. The Committee may terminate or amend the Plan or this Agreement at any time; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 9 in connection with a Change in Control, no such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Participants rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Participant unless such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law or government regulation. No amendment or addition to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.
13.2 Nontransferability of the Award. Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock on the applicable Settlement Date, neither this Award nor any Units subject to this Award shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participants beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to the Award shall be exercisable during the Participants lifetime only by the Participant or the Participants guardian or legal representative.
68

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Release will have the meanings given to them in the Employment Agreement dated April [ ], 2018, between MagnaChip Semiconductor, Ltd. (the Company), MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Parent), and Young Joon Kim (my Employment Agreement).
For and in consideration of the payments and benefits under Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, I, for and on behalf of myself and my executors, heirs, administrators, representatives, and assigns, hereby agree to release and forever discharge the Company, Parent and all of their respective predecessors, successors, and past, current, and future parent entities, affiliates, subsidiary entities, investors, directors, shareholders, members, officers, general or limited partners, employees, attorneys, agents, and representatives, and the employee benefit plans in which I am or have been a participant by virtue of my employment with or service to the Company (collectively, the Company Releasees), from any and all claims that I have or may have had against the Company Releasees based on any events or circumstances arising or occurring on or prior to the date hereof and arising directly or indirectly out of, relating to, or in any other way involving in any manner whatsoever my employment by or service to the Company or the termination thereof, including without limitation any and all claims arising under national, federal, provincial, state, or local laws relating to employment, including without limitation claims of wrongful discharge, breach of express or implied contract, fraud, misrepresentation, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, or liability in tort, and claims of any kind that may be brought in any court or administrative agency, and any related claims for attorneys fees and costs, including, without limitation, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 2000, et seq.; the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 701 et seq.; the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the Civil Rights Act of 1991; 42 U.S.C. Section 1981, et seq.; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. Section 621, et seq. (the ADEA); the Equal Pay Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. Section 206(d); regulations of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance, 41 C.F.R. Section 60, et seq.; the Family and Medical Leave Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.; the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq.; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq.; and any similar national, provincial, state, or local laws of the United States, the Republic of Korea or any other jurisdiction. I agree further that this Release may be pleaded as a full defense to any action, suit, arbitration, or other proceeding covered by the terms hereof that is or may be initiated, prosecuted, or maintained by me or my descendants, dependents, heirs, executors, administrators, or assigns. By signing this Release, I acknowledge that I intend to waive and release all rights known or unknown that I may have against the Company Releasees under these and any other laws.
74
I acknowledge and agree that as of the date I execute this Release, I have no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that give rise or could give rise to any claims under any of the laws listed in the preceding paragraph and that I have not filed any claim against any of the Releasees before any local, state, federal, or foreign agency, court, arbitrator, mediator, arbitration or mediation panel, or other body (each individually a Proceeding). I (i) acknowledge that I will not initiate or cause to be initiated on my behalf any Proceeding and will not participate in any Proceeding, in each case, except as required by law; and (ii) waive any right that I may have to benefit in any manner from any relief (whether monetary or otherwise) arising out of any Proceeding, including any Proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Further, I understand that, by executing this Release, I will be limiting the availability of certain remedies that I may have against the Company and limiting also my ability to pursue certain claims against the Company Releasees.
By executing this Release, I specifically release all claims relating to my employment and its termination under ADEA, a federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefit plans.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, I do not release (i) claims to receive payments and benefits under Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, (ii) claims for indemnification arising under any applicable indemnification obligation of the Company, (iii) any vested rights I may have under any qualified employee benefit plans, programs or policies of the Company and any of its Affiliates, or (iv) claims that cannot be waived by law. Further, nothing in this Release shall prevent me from (a) initiating or causing to be initiated on my behalf any claim against the Company before any local, state, or federal agency, court, or other body challenging the validity of the waiver of my claims under the ADEA (but no other portion of such waiver); or (b) initiating or participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC.
I understand that nothing in this Agreement will preclude, prohibit or restrict me from (i) communicating with, any federal, state or local administrative or regulatory agency or authority, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC); (ii) participating or cooperating in any investigation conducted by any governmental agency or authority; or (iii) filing a charge of discrimination with the EEOC or any other federal state or local administrative agency or regulatory authority.
Nothing in this Agreement, or any other agreement with the Company, prohibits or is intended in any manner to prohibit, me from (i) reporting a possible violation of federal or other applicable law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the SEC, the U.S. Congress, and any governmental agency Inspector General, or (ii) making other disclosures that are protected under whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. This Agreement does not limit my right to receive an award (including, without limitation, a monetary reward) for information provided to the SEC. I do not need the prior authorization of anyone at the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and I am not required to notify the Company that I have made such reports or disclosures.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement or policy of the Company is intended to interfere with or restrain the immunity provided under 18 U.S.C. §1833(b). I cannot be held
75
criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) (A) in confidence to federal, state or local government officials, directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (B) for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if filed under seal; or (iii) in connection with a lawsuit alleging retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, if filed under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to a court order.
I acknowledge that I have been given at least [21]/[45]1 days in which to consider this Release. I acknowledge further that the Company has advised me to consult with an attorney of my choice before signing this Release, and I have had sufficient time to consider the terms of this Release. I represent and acknowledge that if I execute this Release before [21]/[45] days have elapsed, I do so knowingly, voluntarily, and upon the advice and with the approval of my legal counsel (if any), and that I voluntarily waive any remaining consideration period.
I understand that after executing this Release, I have the right to revoke it within seven days after its execution. I understand that this Release will not become effective and enforceable unless the seven-day revocation period passes and I do not revoke the Release in writing. I understand that this Release may not be revoked after the seven-day revocation period has passed. I understand also that any revocation of this Release must be made in writing and delivered to the Company at its principal place of business within the seven-day period.
This Release will become effective, irrevocable, and binding on the eighth day after its execution, so long as I have not timely revoked it as set forth above. I understand and acknowledge that I will not be entitled to payments or benefits under Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement unless this Release is effective on or before the date that is 60 days following the Date of Termination (as defined in the Employment Agreement).
I hereby agree to waive any and all claims to re-employment with the Company or any of its affiliates and affirmatively agree not to seek further employment with the Company or any of its affiliates.
The provisions of this Release will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, and assigns. If any provision of this Release will be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such provision will be of no force or effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however, will have no effect upon and will not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Release.
This Release will be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Release or claim of breach hereof will be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware to the extent that federal jurisdiction exists, and in the Delaware Chancery Court to the extent that federal jurisdiction does not exist. By execution of
1 | NTD: To be selected based on whether applicable termination was in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967). |
76
this Release, I am waiving any right to trial by jury in connection with any suit, action, or proceeding under or in connection with this Release.
