Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, all unvested Units will vest immediately in the event that prior to the Vesting Date: (1) the Committee determines that the Participant’s service as a member of the Board was terminated as a result of the Participant’s medically diagnosed permanent physical or mental inability to perform his or her duties as a director of the Company or (2) the Participant dies while providing service as a member of the Board (in which event the then vested portion of the Units shall be delivered to the executor or administrator of Participant’s estate or, if none, to the person(s) entitled to receive the vested Units under Participant’s will or the laws of descent or distribution)



5.Non-Transferability. The Units may not be Transferred, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Delivery of the Shares shall be effected by the electronic delivery of the Shares to a brokerage account designated by Participant and acceptable to the Company, or by another method provided by the Company, and shall be subject to compliance with all applicable legal requirements, including compliance with the requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws, and shall be in complete satisfaction and settlement of such vested Units.
8.Taxes and Withholding. Participant acknowledges that the Company has the right to require Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy his or her minimum federal, state, local, and foreign withholding tax requirements, or to deduct from all payments under the Plan amounts sufficient to satisfy such minimum withholding tax requirements. Participant further acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company. Participant authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the Participant’s tax obligations that must be withheld by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates by withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Units, or in the sole discretion of the Company, by any other appropriate method.
9.No Right to Continued Board Service. The granting of this Award shall not be construed as granting to the Participant the right of continued appointment as a member of the Board.

This Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings, restrictions, representations, or warranties between the Company and the Participant with respect to such subject matter other than those as set forth or provided for herein.
11.Governing Document. This Award is issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan and may be amended as provided in the Plan. This Award Agreement does not set forth all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.

12.Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
13.Data Protection. If Participant is employed outside the European Economic Area and consent is needed for the collection, processing or transfer of Personal Data under applicable local law, the following shall apply:
Participant consents to the collection and processing of Personal Data relating to the Participant so that the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates can fulfill their obligations and exercise their rights under the Plan and generally administer and manage the Plan. “Personal Data” shall include but may not be limited to, data about participation in the Plan and securities offered or received, purchased or
