5    



and an unrelated third party (“Outsourcing Agent”) pursuant to which (i) the Company transfers the performance of services previously performed by employees of the Company or Subsidiary to the Outsourcing Agent, and (ii) the Outsourcing Agent is obligated to offer employment to any employee whose employment is being terminated as a result of or in connection with said Outsourcing Agreement.

By not declining the Award, you hereby acknowledge that the Company or Subsidiary or employing company shall require you to pay the Company or Subsidiary or employing company the amount of any federal, state, local, foreign or other tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company or Subsidiary or employing company to such authority for your account, and you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Award and delivery of any Shares, to satisfy such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion establish procedures to permit you to satisfy such obligation in whole or in part, and any local, state, federal, foreign or other income tax obligations relating to the Award, by electing (the “election”) to have the Company withhold Shares from the Shares to which you otherwise become entitled. The number of Shares to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld, taking into account any exchange rate issues, is determined as nearly equal as possible to (but not exceeding) the amount of such obligations being satisfied. Each election must be made in writing in accordance with election procedures established by the Committee.
By not declining the Award, you acknowledge that the Company has made no warranties or representations to you with respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) with respect to the Award contemplated by these Terms and Conditions, and you are in no manner relying on the Company or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. You hereby acknowledge that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant or vesting or exercise of the Award and/or the acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to the Award and you have been advised that you should consult with your own attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this

6    



Award and these Terms and Conditions and the consequences thereof. You also acknowledge that the Company has no responsibility to take or refrain from taking any actions in order to achieve a certain tax result for you.

12.    Transfer of Share Option. You may not transfer the Share Option or any interest therein except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may transfer the Share Option to members of your immediate family or to one or more trusts for the benefit of family members or to one or more partnerships in which the family members are the only partners, provided that (i) you do not receive any consideration for the transfer, (ii) you furnish the Committee or its designee with detailed written notice of the transfer at least three (3) business days in advance, and (iii) the Committee or its designee consents in writing. For this purpose, “family member” means your spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings, nieces, nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews, including adopted, in-laws and step family members. Any Share Option transferred pursuant to this provision will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Share Option immediately prior to transfer. The Share Option may be exercised by the transferee only to the same extent that you could have exercised the Share Option had no transfer occurred.
13.    Covenant; Forfeiture of Award; Agreement to Reimburse Company.
(a)    If your Termination of Employment is for Cause, including without limitation a termination as a result of your violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Conduct, any outstanding vested or unvested Share Options shall be immediately rescinded and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect to those Share Options. Furthermore, by not declining this Award you agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, cash) equal in value to the amount of any profit you realized upon an exercise of the Share Option during the period beginning six months prior to your Termination of Employment for Cause and ending on the six-month anniversary of your Termination of Employment for Cause, including, without limitation, a termination for Cause resulting from your violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Conduct.
(b)     If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that at any time after the Grant Date and prior to the second anniversary of your Termination of Employment you (i) disclosed business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or Subsidiary or (ii) have entered into an employment or consultation arrangement (including any arrangement for employment or service as an agent, partner, shareholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in a business, which arrangement would likely (in the sole judgment of the Committee) result in the disclosure of business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or a Subsidiary to a business that is competitive with any Company or Subsidiary business as to which you have had access to business strategic or confidential information, and the Committee has not approved the arrangement in writing, then any Share Option that you have not exercised (whether vested or unvested) will immediately be rescinded, and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect to these Share Options as of the date of the Committee’s determination.

Any such determinations and adjustments made by the Committee will be binding on all persons.
15.    Restrictions on Exercise.

16.    Disposition of Securities. By not declining the Award, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, and are aware of and understand your obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to trading in the Company’s securities, and you agree not to exercise your Share Option at any time when doing so would result in a violation of securities law.

You further acknowledge that any such law, regulation or policy may provide for recovery of benefits, including Shares delivered to you in respect of this Award, irrespective of any finding of fault, causation, liability or guilt on your behalf.
17.    Plan Terms Govern. The exercise of the Option, the disposition of any Shares received upon exercise of the Share Option, and the treatment of any gain on the disposition of these Shares are subject to the terms of the Plan and any rules that the Committee may prescribe.

Any payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the later of your Termination of Employment and the determination of any adjustment described in Section 5(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not earn any portion of your Award in accordance with the preceding paragraph if (i) your Termination of Employment occurs on or prior to the closing date of such Disposition of Assets or Disposition of a Subsidiary, as applicable, or on such later date as is specifically provided in the applicable transaction agreement, or on the effective date of such Outsourcing Agreement applicable to you (the “Applicable Employment Date”), and (ii) you are offered Comparable Employment (as defined below) with the buyer, successor company or outsourcing agent, as applicable, but do not commence such employment on the Applicable Employment Date.

9.    Withholdings. The Company will have the right, prior to any issuance or delivery of Shares based on your Performance Share Units, to withhold or demand from you payment of the amount necessary to satisfy applicable tax requirements, as determined by the Company. If you have not satisfied your tax withholding requirements in a timely manner, the Company will have the right to sell the number of Shares from your Award necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy such requirements. In addition, the Company shall have the right, if so provided under applicable law, to recover any taxes relating to this Award that the Company or any of its affiliates pays on your behalf.
By not declining the Award, you hereby acknowledge that the Company or Subsidiary or employing company shall require you to pay the Company or Subsidiary or employing company the amount of any federal, state, local, foreign or other tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company or Subsidiary or employing company to such authority for your account, and you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Award and delivery of any Shares, to satisfy such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its discretion establish procedures to permit you to satisfy such obligation in whole or in part, and any local, state, federal, foreign or other income tax obligations relating to the Award, by electing (the “election”) to have the Company withhold Shares from the Shares to which you otherwise become entitled. The number of Shares to be withheld shall have a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld, taking into account any exchange rate issues, is determined as nearly equal as possible to (but not exceeding) the amount of such obligations being satisfied. Each election must be made in writing in accordance with election procedures established by the Committee.
By not declining the Award, you acknowledge that the Company has made no warranties or representations to you with respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) with respect to the Award contemplated by these Terms and Conditions, and you are in no manner relying on the Company or its representatives for an

5


        


assessment of such tax consequences. You hereby acknowledge that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant or vesting of the Award and/or the acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to the Award and you have been advised that you should consult with your own attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this Award and these Terms and Conditions and the consequences thereof. You also acknowledge that the Company has no responsibility to take or refrain from taking any actions in order to achieve a certain tax result for you.

11.    Covenant; Forfeiture of Award; Agreement to Reimburse Company.

(b)    If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that at any time after the Grant Date and prior to the second anniversary of your Termination of Employment you (i) disclosed business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or Subsidiary or (ii) have entered into an employment or consultation arrangement (including any arrangement for employment or service as an agent, partner, shareholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in a business, which arrangement would likely (in the sole judgment of the Committee) result in the disclosure of business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or a Subsidiary to a business that is competitive with any Company or Subsidiary business as to which you have had access to business strategic or confidential information, and the Committee has not approved the arrangement in writing, then any unearned Performance Share Units will immediately be rescinded, and you will forfeit any rights you have with respect to these Performance Share Units as of the date of the Committee’s determination.
