New Form of Award Agreements

 

On June 12, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Latch, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted an updated form of restricted stock unit grant notice and agreement (the “RSU Agreement”), an updated form of stock option grant notice and agreement (the “Stock Option Agreement”), and a new form of common stock grant notice and agreement (the “Common Stock Agreement”) (collectively, the “Award Agreements”) under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”). These forms may be used for equity awards granted to the Company’s executive officers, including its named executive officers, and constitute material compensatory plans or arrangements within the meaning of Item 5.02(e) of Form 8-K.

 

The RSU Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement provide for the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options, respectively, of the Company that may be subject to vesting over time. The vesting of the RSUs and stock options is subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service through the vesting date of such equity awards.

 

The RSU Agreement and Stock Option Agreement permit the Compensation Committee or the Board to designate a vesting commencement date that precedes the grant date for purposes of calculating vesting, while maintaining the actual grant date for all other purposes, including determining fair market value.

 

The Award Agreements set forth the terms and conditions applicable to equity awards granted under the 2021 Plan, including vesting conditions, exercisability, settlement, forfeiture, transfer restrictions, and related rights and obligations of the award recipients. In addition, the RSU Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement include the following modifications to the prior forms adopted by the Board:

 

·The timing and mechanics of settlement of the awards are revised and intended to comply with the short-term deferral exemption under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code permitting the Company to delay settlement or delivery of shares where necessary to comply with applicable law, securities law requirements or stock exchange listing standards;
·Expanded permitted methods to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations, including net share withholding and other Company-approved methods permitted under the 2021 Plan; and
·Additional administrative procedures relating to the settlement of awards following a participant’s termination of service.

 

The RSU Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement also include various administrative, clarifying, and conforming revisions. Copies of the RSU Agreement, the Stock Option Agreement, and the Common Stock Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Award Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits. Except as expressly described above, the 2021 Plan remains unchanged and in full force and effect. The Award Agreements are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan, which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2025, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

RSU Grants to Executives

 

On June 12, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved grants of time-based restricted stock units under the Company’s 2021 Plan to Dave Lillis, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer, Jeff Mayfield, the Company’s Principal Financial Officer, and Ryan Salmons, the Company’s Chief Product and Technology Officer. These individuals are executive officers of the Company, and the awards therefore constitute material compensatory arrangements reportable under Item 5.02(e) of Form 8-K.

 

Mr. Lillis, Mr. Mayfield, and Mr. Salmons were granted 968,179, 130,000, and 500,000 RSUs, respectively (the “Executive RSUs”). The grant-date fair values of the awards for Mr. Lillis, Mr. Mayfield, and Mr. Salmons were approximately $193,636, $26,000, and $100,000, respectively, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For vesting purposes only, Mr. Lillis’ RSU award has a vesting commencement date of July 13, 2023 and 887,497 shares of his award were vested as of the grant date; Mr. Mayfield’s RSU award has a vesting commencement date of September 5, 2023 and 119,167 shares of his award were vested as of the grant date; and Mr. Salmons’ RSU award has a vesting commencement date of December 31, 2024 and 208,333 shares of his award were vested as of the grant date. However, the grant date for the Executive RSUs is used for all other purposes, including determining fair market value. The Compensation Committee approved these vesting commencement dates to reflect service provided by each executive following such executive’s hire or promotion, during which period the Company was unable to grant equity awards because its registration statement on Form S-8 was suspended. As a result of this vesting structure, as noted above, a portion of each executive’s Executive RSUs vested on the grant date, representing the amount that would have vested between the applicable vesting commencement date and the grant date if the award had been granted on the vesting commencement date. The remaining portion of each executive’s Executive RSUs will vest in substantially equal quarterly installments over the remainder of a three-year vesting period, subject to the executive’s continued service through each applicable vesting date.

 

The Executive RSUs were granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan and the RSU Agreement. Copies of the RSU Agreements for Mr. Lillis, Mr. Mayfield, and Mr. Salmons are filed as Exhibits 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Executive RSUs does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

Exhibit A

 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

 

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.

 

ARTICLE I.

GENERAL

 

1.1            Award of RSUs. The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share or, at the option of the Company, an amount of cash, in either case, as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares or payment of any cash until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested.

 

1.2            Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.

 

1.3            Unsecured Promise. The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.

 

ARTICLE II.

VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT

 

2.1            VESTING; FORFEITURE. The RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice except that any fraction of an RSU that would otherwise be vested will be accumulated and will vest only when a whole RSU has accumulated. In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, all unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company.

 

2.2            Settlement.

 

(a)            General Settlement Timing. RSUs will be settled in Shares or, at the sole discretion of the Company, in cash, as soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of the applicable RSU (including any RSUs that are vested as of the Grant Date), but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the calendar year in which the applicable RSU vests, in either case in accordance with the requirements of the "short-term deferral" exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). For purposes of this Agreement, “Settlement Date” means the date on which Shares or cash are delivered to Participant, which shall occur within the period specified in this Section 2.2(a).

 

(b)            Cash Settlement. If an RSU is settled in cash, the amount of cash paid with respect to the RSU will equal the Fair Market Value of a Share on the trading day immediately preceding the Settlement Date.

 

 

 

 

(c)            Settlement following Termination of Service. If Participant has experienced a Termination of Service following the vesting, but prior to the settlement, of any RSUs, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) settle such vested RSUs on the Settlement Date or (ii) require Participant to provide updated contact and tax information prior to settlement and delay settlement until Participant provides such information, provided that any such delay shall not extend settlement beyond the latest date permitted under Section 2.2(a).

 

(d)            Delay for Legal and Regulatory Compliance. Notwithstanding as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company may delay the settlement of any RSU and any associated issuance or delivery of Shares or payment of cash that the Company reasonably anticipates would violate Applicable Laws, including without limitation, U.S. federal securities laws or the listing standards of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, until the earliest date the Company reasonably anticipates the making of the payment or delivery will not cause such a violation or failure in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii). For avoidance of doubt, the Company may delay the issue or delivery of any Shares in settlement of RSUs unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares is then effective, (ii) the Shares are registered, qualified, or exempt from registration or qualification under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, and (iii) the listing (or authorization for listing upon official notice of issuance) of such Shares on any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are then listed has been authorized and remains in effect.

 

ARTICLE III.

TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING

 

3.1            Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

 

3.2            Tax Withholding.

 

(a)            Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as a condition to the settlement of any RSUs, Participant agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment until such obligations are satisfied.

 

(b)            To the extent the RSUs are settled in cash (in whole or in part), if Participant fails to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable withholding tax obligations within the timeframe required by the Company, the Company is authorized to withhold or deduct for the cash payable to the Participant in settlement of the RSUs (or any portion thereof) an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable tax withholding obligations.

 

(c)            To the extent the RSUs are settled in Shares (in whole or in part), if Participant fails to make arrangements satisfactory to and, if applicable, permitted by, the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable withholding tax obligations within the timeframe required by the Company, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, (i) withhold and retain a number of Shares that would otherwise be delivered to Participant in settlement of the RSUs having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of delivery sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations, (ii) require Participant to remit cash to the Company in an amount sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations, (iii) withhold amounts from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or any Subsidiary (or from any other amounts payable to Participant), to the extent permitted by applicable law or (iv) take any other actions permitted under the Plan to satisfy such withholding obligations, including without limitation a third-party transaction approved or facilitated by the Company. If Participant fails to make arrangements to satisfy any withholding obligations, and the Company does not otherwise take any of the foregoing action to satisfy the withholding obligation, the Company may, upon prior written notice to Participant, cause the portion of the RSUs (and any Shares otherwise deliverable in respect thereof) for which Participant has failed to make arrangements sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations to be forfeited, and any such Shares otherwise deliverable shall be cancelled and forfeited to the Company without consideration.

 

A-2

 

 

(d)            In the event that the Company is withholding from any payment or delivery of Shares to satisfy any withholding obligation, the Company will withhold at the minimum statutory rate required by Applicable Law in all jurisdictions in which Participant is subject to tax withholding obligations, unless the Company reasonably and in good faith after considering any accounting consequences or costs, determines that a different rate is required by Applicable Law. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall withhold at the minimum statutory rate and that Participant shall be responsible for any additional taxes owed.

 

(e)            Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.

 

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER PROVISIONS

 

4.1            Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs, the Shares subject to the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

 

4.2            Forfeiture and Claw-Back. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the RSUs (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by Participant upon any receipt RSUs) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of applicable law, including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

A-3

 

 

4.3            Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company in care of the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal office or the Secretary’s then-current email address or facsimile number. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant (or, if Participant is then deceased, to the Designated Beneficiary) at Participant’s last known mailing address, email address or facsimile number in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice will be deemed duly given when received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.

 

4.4            Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

 

4.5            Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws.

 

4.6            Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

 

4.7            Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is a Section 16 Person, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the RSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

 

4.8            Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including any exhibit hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

4.9            Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held illegal or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement.

 

4.10          Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash or the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

A-4

 

 

4.11          Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.

 

4.12          Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument.

 

4.13          Restrictions. In the event the Shares are no longer registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (as determined by the Administrator), any Shares acquired in respect of the RSUs shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, including, without limitation, restrictions on the transferability, repurchase rights, the right of the Company to require that Shares be transferred in the event of certain transactions, rights of first refusal, tag-along rights, bring-along rights, redemption and co-sale rights and voting requirements. Such terms and conditions may be additional to those contained in the Plan and may, as determined by the Administrator, be contained in an exercise notice, securityholders’ agreement or in such other agreement as the Administrator shall determine, in each case in a form determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may condition the issuance of such Shares on the Participant’s consent to such terms and conditions and the Participant’s entering into such agreement or agreements.

Exhibit A

 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.

  

ARTICLE I.

GENERAL

 

1.1            Grant of Option. The Company has granted to Participant the Option effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”).

 

1.2            Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Option is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.

 

ARTICLE II.

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

 

2.1            Commencement of Exercisability. The Option will vest and, subject to Section 4.5, become exercisable according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice (the “Vesting Schedule”) except that any fraction of a Share as to which the Option would be vested or exercisable will be accumulated and will vest and become exercisable only when a whole Share has accumulated. Notwithstanding anything in the Grant Notice, the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, unless the Administrator otherwise determines, the Option will immediately expire and be forfeited as to any portion that is not vested and exercisable as of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason.

 

2.2            Duration of Exercisability. The Vesting Schedule is cumulative. Any portion of the Option which vests and becomes exercisable will remain vested and exercisable until the Option expires. The Option will be forfeited immediately upon its expiration.

 

2.3            Expiration of Option. The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after, and will expire on, the first of the following to occur:

 

(a)           The final expiration date in the Grant Notice;

 

(b)           Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, the expiration of three (3) months from the date of Participant’s Termination of Service, unless Participant’s Termination of Service is for Cause or by reason of Participant’s death or disability;

 

(c)           Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, the expiration of one (1) year from the date of Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of Participant’s death or disability; and

 

(d)           Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, Participant’s Termination of Service for Cause.

 

2.4            Leaves of Absence. If the Participant goes on a leave of absence, then the Company may adjust the Vesting Schedule in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of such leave. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Participant shall be deemed to continue to be a Service Provider for any purpose under this Agreement while Participant is on a bona fide leave of absence, if (i) such leave was approved by the Company in writing and (ii) continued crediting of service for such purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company). A Termination of Service shall be deemed to occur when such leave ends, unless the Participant immediately returns to active work. If the reemployment of a Participant upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company that exceeds three months is not expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company), any Incentive Stock Option exercised by such Participant more than six months after the first day of such leave shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

 

 

 

  

ARTICLE III.

EXERCISE OF OPTION

 

3.1            Person Eligible to Exercise. During Participant’s lifetime, only Participant may exercise the Option. After Participant’s death, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time the Option expires, be exercised by Participant’s Designated Beneficiary as provided in the Plan.

 

3.2            Partial Exercise. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised, in whole or in part, according to the procedures in the Plan at any time prior to the time the Option or portion thereof expires, except that the Option may only be exercised for whole Shares.

 

3.3            Tax Withholding.

 

(a)            Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as a condition to the exercise of any Option and the issuance of Shares upon such exercise, Participant agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Option. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares until such obligations are satisfied.

 

(b)           If Participant fails to make arrangements satisfactory to and, if applicable, permitted by, the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable withholding tax obligations within the timeframe required by the Company, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, (i) withhold and retain a number of Shares that would otherwise be issued to Participant upon exercise of the Option having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of delivery sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations, (ii) require Participant to remit cash to the Company in an amount sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations, (iii) withhold amounts from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or any Subsidiary (or from any other amounts payable to Participant), to the extent permitted by applicable law or (iv) take any actions permitted under the Plan to satisfy such withholding obligations[, including without limitation a third-party transaction approved or facilitated by the Company]. If Participant fails to make arrangements to satisfy any withholding obligations, and the Company does not otherwise take any of the foregoing action to satisfy the withholding obligation, the Company may, upon prior written notice to Participant, cause the portion of the Options (and any Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise thereof) for which Participant has failed to make arrangements sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations to be forfeited, and any such Shares otherwise deliverable shall be cancelled and forfeited to the Company without consideration.

 

(c)           In the event that the Company is withholding from any payment or delivery of Shares to satisfy any withholding obligation, the Company will withhold at the minimum statutory rate required by Applicable Law in all jurisdictions in which Participant is subject to tax withholding obligations, unless the Company reasonably and in good faith after considering any accounting consequences or costs, determines that a different rate is required by Applicable Law. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall withhold at the minimum statutory rate and that Participant shall be responsible for any additional taxes owed.

 

A-2

 

 

(d)           Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Option, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Option. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the Option to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.

 

3.4            Delay for Legal and Regulatory Compliance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may delay the issuance or delivery of any Shares upon exercise of the Option if the Company reasonably anticipates that such issuance or delivery would violate Applicable Laws, including without limitation U.S. federal securities laws or the listing standards of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, until the earliest date the Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance or delivery will not cause such a violation or failure. For avoidance of doubt, the Company may delay the issuance or delivery of any Shares unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares is then effective, (ii) the Shares are registered, qualified, or exempt from registration or qualification under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and (iii) the listing (or authorization for listing upon official notice of issuance) of such Shares on any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are then listed has been authorized and remains in effect.

4.1             Adjustments.  Participant acknowledges that the Option is subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

 

4.2             Forfeiture and Claw-Back. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Option (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by Participant upon any receipt or exercise of the Option or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Option) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of applicable law, including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

4.3            Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company in care of the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal office or the Secretary’s then-current email address or facsimile number. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant (or, if Participant is then deceased, to the Designated Beneficiary) at Participant’s last known mailing address, email address or facsimile number in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.

 

4.4            Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

 

4.5            Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, until the Company has filed an effective registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) after the Grant Date, no portion of the Option, even if vested, shall be exercisable unless the Administrator shall have determined that the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the Option is registered with the SEC pursuant to another effective registration statement or that an exemption from registration is available for such issuance.

 

A-3

 

 

4.6            Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

 

4.7            Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is a Section 16 Person, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Option will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

 

4.8            Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including any exhibit hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

4.9            Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held illegal or invalid, the provision will be severable from, and the illegality or invalidity of the provision will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement.

 

4.10          Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Option, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Option, as and when exercised pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

4.11          Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.

 

4.12          Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument.

 

A-4

 

 

4.13          Incentive Stock Options. If the Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option:

  

(a)           Participant acknowledges that to the extent the aggregate fair market value of shares (determined as of the time the option with respect to the shares is granted) with respect to which stock options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, including the Option, are exercisable for the first time by Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000 or if for any other reason such stock options do not qualify or cease to qualify for treatment as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, such stock options (including the Option) will be treated as non-qualified stock options. Participant further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence will be applied by taking the Option and other stock options into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code. Participant acknowledges that amendments or modifications made to the Option pursuant to the Plan that would cause the Option to become a Non-Qualified Stock Option will not materially or adversely affect Participant’s rights under the Option, and that any such amendment or modification shall not require Participant’s consent. Participant also acknowledges that if the Option is exercised more than three (3) months after Participant’s Termination of Service as an Employee, other than by reason of death or disability, the Option will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

 

(b)           Participant will give prompt written notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any Shares acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or other transfer is made (a) within two (2) years from the Grant Date or (b) within one (1) year after the transfer of such Shares to Participant. Such notice will specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by Participant in such disposition or other transfer.

 

4.14          Restrictions. In the event the Shares are no longer registered with the SEC (as determined by the Administrator), any Shares acquired in respect of the Option shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, including, without limitation, restrictions on the transferability, repurchase rights, the right of the Company to require that Shares be transferred in the event of certain transactions, rights of first refusal, tag-along rights, bring-along rights, redemption and co-sale rights and voting requirements. Such terms and conditions may be additional to those contained in the Plan and may, as determined by the Administrator, be contained in an exercise notice, securityholders’ agreement or in such other agreement as the Administrator shall determine, in each case in a form determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may condition the issuance of such Shares on the Participant’s consent to such terms and conditions and the Participant’s entering into such agreement or agreements.

Exhibit A

 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

 

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.

 

ARTICLE I.
GENERAL

 

1.1            Award of RSUs. The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share or, at the option of the Company, an amount of cash, in either case, as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares or payment of any cash until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested.

 

1.2            Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.

 

1.3            Unsecured Promise. The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.

 

ARTICLE II.
VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT

 

2.1            VESTING; FORFEITURE. The RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice except that any fraction of an RSU that would otherwise be vested will be accumulated and will vest only when a whole RSU has accumulated. In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, all unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company.

 

2.2Settlement.

 

(a)            General Settlement Timing. RSUs will be settled in Shares or, at the sole discretion of the Company, in cash, as soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of the applicable RSU (including any RSUs that are vested as of the Grant Date), but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the calendar year in which the applicable RSU vests, in either case in accordance with the requirements of the "short-term deferral" exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). For purposes of this Agreement, “Settlement Date” means the date on which Shares or cash are delivered to Participant, which shall occur within the period specified in this Section 2.2(a).

 

(b)            Cash Settlement. If an RSU is settled in cash, the amount of cash paid with respect to the RSU will equal the Fair Market Value of a Share on the trading day immediately preceding the Settlement Date.

 

 

 

 

(c)            Settlement following Termination of Service. If Participant has experienced a Termination of Service following the vesting, but prior to the settlement, of any RSUs, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) settle such vested RSUs on the Settlement Date or (ii) require Participant to provide updated contact and tax information prior to settlement and delay settlement until Participant provides such information, provided that any such delay shall not extend settlement beyond the latest date permitted under Section 2.2(a).

 

(d)            Delay for Legal and Regulatory Compliance. Notwithstanding as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company may delay the settlement of any RSU and any associated issuance or delivery of Shares or payment of cash that the Company reasonably anticipates would violate Applicable Laws, including without limitation, U.S. federal securities laws or the listing standards of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, until the earliest date the Company reasonably anticipates the making of the payment or delivery will not cause such a violation or failure in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii). For avoidance of doubt, the Company may delay the issue or delivery of any Shares in settlement of RSUs unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares is then effective, (ii) the Shares are registered, qualified, or exempt from registration or qualification under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, and (iii) the listing (or authorization for listing upon official notice of issuance) of such Shares on any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are then listed has been authorized and remains in effect.

 

ARTICLE III.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING

 

3.1            Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

 

3.2Tax Withholding.

 

(a)            Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as a condition to the settlement of any RSUs, Participant agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment until such obligations are satisfied.

 

(b)            To the extent the RSUs are settled in cash (in whole or in part), if Participant fails to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable withholding tax obligations within the timeframe required by the Company, the Company is authorized to withhold or deduct for the cash payable to the Participant in settlement of the RSUs (or any portion thereof) an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable tax withholding obligations.

(c)            To the extent the RSUs are settled in Shares (in whole or in part), if Participant fails to make arrangements satisfactory to and, if applicable, permitted by, the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable withholding tax obligations within the timeframe required by the Company, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, (i) withhold and retain a number of Shares that would otherwise be delivered to Participant in settlement of the RSUs having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of delivery sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations, (ii) require Participant to remit cash to the Company in an amount sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations, (iii) withhold amounts from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or any Subsidiary (or from any other amounts payable to Participant), to the extent permitted by applicable law or (iv) take any other actions permitted under the Plan to satisfy such withholding obligations, including without limitation a third-party transaction approved or facilitated by the Company. If Participant fails to make arrangements to satisfy any withholding obligations, and the Company does not otherwise take any of the foregoing action to satisfy the withholding obligation, the Company may, upon prior written notice to Participant, cause the portion of the RSUs (and any Shares otherwise deliverable in respect thereof) for which Participant has failed to make arrangements sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations to be forfeited, and any such Shares otherwise deliverable shall be cancelled and forfeited to the Company without consideration.

 

(d)            In the event that the Company is withholding from any payment or delivery of Shares to satisfy any withholding obligation, the Company will withhold at the minimum statutory rate required by Applicable Law in all jurisdictions in which Participant is subject to tax withholding obligations, unless the Company reasonably and in good faith after considering any accounting consequences or costs, determines that a different rate is required by Applicable Law. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall withhold at the minimum statutory rate and that Participant shall be responsible for any additional taxes owed.

 

(e)            Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.

Such terms and conditions may be additional to those contained in the Plan and may, as determined by the Administrator, be contained in an exercise notice, securityholders’ agreement or in such other agreement as the Administrator shall determine, in each case in a form determined by the Administrator.

Exhibit A

 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

 

Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.

 

ARTICLE I.
GENERAL

 

1.1            Award of RSUs. The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share or, at the option of the Company, an amount of cash, in either case, as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares or payment of any cash until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested.

 

1.2            Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.

 

1.3            Unsecured Promise. The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.

 

ARTICLE II.
VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT

 

2.1            VESTING; FORFEITURE. The RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice except that any fraction of an RSU that would otherwise be vested will be accumulated and will vest only when a whole RSU has accumulated. In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, all unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company.

 

2.2Settlement.

 

(a)            General Settlement Timing. RSUs will be settled in Shares or, at the sole discretion of the Company, in cash, as soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of the applicable RSU (including any RSUs that are vested as of the Grant Date), but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the calendar year in which the applicable RSU vests, in either case in accordance with the requirements of the "short-term deferral" exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). For purposes of this Agreement, “Settlement Date” means the date on which Shares or cash are delivered to Participant, which shall occur within the period specified in this Section 2.2(a).

 

(b)            Cash Settlement. If an RSU is settled in cash, the amount of cash paid with respect to the RSU will equal the Fair Market Value of a Share on the trading day immediately preceding the Settlement Date.

 

 

 

 

(c)            Settlement following Termination of Service. If Participant has experienced a Termination of Service following the vesting, but prior to the settlement, of any RSUs, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) settle such vested RSUs on the Settlement Date or (ii) require Participant to provide updated contact and tax information prior to settlement and delay settlement until Participant provides such information, provided that any such delay shall not extend settlement beyond the latest date permitted under Section 2.2(a).

 

(d)            Delay for Legal and Regulatory Compliance. Notwithstanding as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company may delay the settlement of any RSU and any associated issuance or delivery of Shares or payment of cash that the Company reasonably anticipates would violate Applicable Laws, including without limitation, U.S. federal securities laws or the listing standards of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, until the earliest date the Company reasonably anticipates the making of the payment or delivery will not cause such a violation or failure in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii). For avoidance of doubt, the Company may delay the issue or delivery of any Shares in settlement of RSUs unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares is then effective, (ii) the Shares are registered, qualified, or exempt from registration or qualification under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, and (iii) the listing (or authorization for listing upon official notice of issuance) of such Shares on any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are then listed has been authorized and remains in effect.

 

ARTICLE III.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING

 

3.1            Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement.

The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment until such obligations are satisfied.

 

(b)            To the extent the RSUs are settled in cash (in whole or in part), if Participant fails to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable withholding tax obligations within the timeframe required by the Company, the Company is authorized to withhold or deduct for the cash payable to the Participant in settlement of the RSUs (or any portion thereof) an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable tax withholding obligations.

If Participant fails to make arrangements to satisfy any withholding obligations, and the Company does not otherwise take any of the foregoing action to satisfy the withholding obligation, the Company may, upon prior written notice to Participant, cause the portion of the RSUs (and any Shares otherwise deliverable in respect thereof) for which Participant has failed to make arrangements sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations to be forfeited, and any such Shares otherwise deliverable shall be cancelled and forfeited to the Company without consideration.

For avoidance of doubt, the Company may delay the issue or delivery of any Shares in settlement of RSUs unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares is then effective, (ii) the Shares are registered, qualified, or exempt from registration or qualification under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, and (iii) the listing (or authorization for listing upon official notice of issuance) of such Shares on any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are then listed has been authorized and remains in effect.

 

ARTICLE III.

TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING

 

3.1            Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

 

3.2Tax Withholding.

 

(a)            Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as a condition to the settlement of any RSUs, Participant agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment until such obligations are satisfied.

 

(b)            To the extent the RSUs are settled in cash (in whole or in part), if Participant fails to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable withholding tax obligations within the timeframe required by the Company, the Company is authorized to withhold or deduct for the cash payable to the Participant in settlement of the RSUs (or any portion thereof) an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable tax withholding obligations.

 

 A-2 

 

 

(c)            To the extent the RSUs are settled in Shares (in whole or in part), if Participant fails to make arrangements satisfactory to and, if applicable, permitted by, the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable withholding tax obligations within the timeframe required by the Company, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, (i) withhold and retain a number of Shares that would otherwise be delivered to Participant in settlement of the RSUs having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of delivery sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations, (ii) require Participant to remit cash to the Company in an amount sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations, (iii) withhold amounts from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or any Subsidiary (or from any other amounts payable to Participant), to the extent permitted by applicable law or (iv) take any other actions permitted under the Plan to satisfy such withholding obligations, including without limitation a third-party transaction approved or facilitated by the Company. If Participant fails to make arrangements to satisfy any withholding obligations, and the Company does not otherwise take any of the foregoing action to satisfy the withholding obligation, the Company may, upon prior written notice to Participant, cause the portion of the RSUs (and any Shares otherwise deliverable in respect thereof) for which Participant has failed to make arrangements sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding tax obligations to be forfeited, and any such Shares otherwise deliverable shall be cancelled and forfeited to the Company without consideration.

 

(d)            In the event that the Company is withholding from any payment or delivery of Shares to satisfy any withholding obligation, the Company will withhold at the minimum statutory rate required by Applicable Law in all jurisdictions in which Participant is subject to tax withholding obligations, unless the Company reasonably and in good faith after considering any accounting consequences or costs, determines that a different rate is required by Applicable Law. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall withhold at the minimum statutory rate and that Participant shall be responsible for any additional taxes owed.

 

(e)            Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.

 

ARTICLE IV.
OTHER PROVISIONS

 

4.1            Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs, the Shares subject to the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

 

4.2            Forfeiture and Claw-Back. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the RSUs (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by Participant upon any receipt RSUs) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of applicable law, including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant (or, if Participant is then deceased, to the Designated Beneficiary) at Participant’s last known mailing address, email address or facsimile number in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice will be deemed duly given when received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.

 

4.4            Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

 

4.5            Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws.

 

4.6            Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.

4.7            Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is a Section 16 Person, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the RSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

 

4.8            Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including any exhibit hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

4.9            Agreement Severable.

 A-4 

 

 

4.10            Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash or the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

4.11            Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.

 

4.12            Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument.

 

4.13            Restrictions. In the event the Shares are no longer registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (as determined by the Administrator), any Shares acquired in respect of the RSUs shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, including, without limitation, restrictions on the transferability, repurchase rights, the right of the Company to require that Shares be transferred in the event of certain transactions, rights of first refusal, tag-along rights, bring-along rights, redemption and co-sale rights and voting requirements. Such terms and conditions may be additional to those contained in the Plan and may, as determined by the Administrator, be contained in an exercise notice, securityholders’ agreement or in such other agreement as the Administrator shall determine, in each case in a form determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may condition the issuance of such Shares on the Participant’s consent to such terms and conditions and the Participant’s entering into such agreement or agreements.
