1.Award.
(a)Restricted Stock Units. Pursuant to the YUM! Brands, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Participant is hereby awarded the aggregate number of restricted stock units set forth above evidencing the right to receive an equivalent number of shares of Stock, subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement (“Restricted Stock Units”).
(b)Plan Incorporated. Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Summary Plan Description, and agrees that this award of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and the Summary Plan Description, including future amendments thereto, if any, which Plan and Summary Plan Description are incorporated herein by reference as a part of this Agreement. Participant may make a written request for a copy of the Plan at any time. Except as defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meanings ascribed to them under the Plan.
2.Terms of Restricted Stock Units. Participant hereby accepts the Restricted Stock Units and agrees with respect thereto as follows:
(a)Assignment of Restricted Stock Units Prohibited. The Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of, except by will or the applicable laws of inheritance.
(b)Vesting. Except as otherwise provided herein, as long as a separation from service from YUM!, its divisions and its Subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) does not occur prior to the three year anniversary of the Grant Date (“Vesting Date”), then Participant shall become vested in all Restricted Stock Units credited to Participant under this Agreement on such Vesting Date and shares of Stock shall be issued to him or her as described in subparagraph (f) below.
(c)Termination of Service. In the event Participant’s service with the Company is terminated either (i) voluntarily by Participant (other than as a result of Retirement or a Special Termination, each as defined below), or (ii) involuntarily by the Company or for cause (as
determined by YUM! or the employing Subsidiary in its sole discretion), Participant shall, for no consideration, forfeit all Restricted Stock Units to the extent they are not fully vested at the time of separation from service. In the event of termination of Participant's service with the Company prior to the Vesting Date for any other reason, including but not limited to, death, Retirement, or involuntary termination by the Company other than for cause, including without limitation, as a result of (i) a disposition (or similar transaction) with respect to an identifiable Company business or segment (“Business”), and in accordance with the terms of the transaction, Participant and a substantial portion of the other employees of the Business continue in employment with such Business or commence employment with its acquiror, (ii) the elimination of Participant’s position within the Company, or (iii) the selection of Participant for work force reduction (whether selection is voluntary or involuntary), then Participant shall become vested in a portion of the Restricted Stock Units which is in proration to Participant’s service during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date of death, Retirement or involuntary termination other than for cause as described in this subparagraph and the date of termination shall be treated as the Vesting Date for purposes of this Agreement and any outstanding, unvested grant shall be vested on a pro-rata basis.
In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of Special Termination (as defined below), the Restricted Stock Units will vest in accordance with the following: (i) if the Special Termination occurs as a result of a Special Termination as defined in Section 21(b)(i), pro rata on a monthly basis for the vesting period in which the termination occurs such that a portion of the Participant’s otherwise unvested Restricted Stock Units for the vesting period in which the termination occurs will vest based on the time the Participant was employed during the vesting period up to the last day of employment (as determined in accordance with Section 7(h) below) and all unvested Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and (ii) if the Special Termination occurs as a result of a Special Termination as defined in Section 21(b)(ii), in accordance with the vesting schedule otherwise applicable to the Restricted Stock Units as set forth in this Agreement as though employment with the franchisee were not termination with the Company.
If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Vesting Date and prior to Participant’s separation from service and if Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company (other than for cause) on or within two years following the Change in Control, then Participant shall become vested in all unvested Restricted Stock Units credited to Participant under this Agreement on Participant’s termination date (to the extent not previously vested in accordance with the terms hereof) and the date of termination shall be treated as the Vesting Date for purposes of this Agreement.
(d)Dividend Equivalent Units. Participant will be credited with additional units (“Dividend Equivalent Units”) equal to the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Units if Participant actually owned the same number of shares of Stock during the period between the Grant Date and the Vesting Date. Dividend Equivalent Units shall vest at the same time that the Restricted Stock Units vest; provided, however, that in the event the Restricted Stock Units are forfeited then any accumulated Dividend Equivalent Units will also be forfeited.
2
(e)No Rights as Stockholder. Participant shall not be a shareholder of record and therefore shall have no voting, dividend or other shareholder rights prior to the issuance of shares of Stock at vesting.
(f)Settlement and Delivery of Stock. Payment of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after the applicable Vesting Date but in no event later than 2-1/2 months following the year in which the Vesting Date occurs. Settlement will be made by payment in shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, YUM! shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock if counsel to YUM! determines that such sale or delivery would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of YUM! with, any securities exchange or association upon which the Stock is listed or quoted. YUM! shall in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the delivery of shares of Stock to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.
Furthermore, Participant understands that the laws of the country in which he/she is working at the time of grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or at the subsequent sale of Stock granted to Participant under this Award (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor or other matters) may subject Participant to additional procedural or regulatory requirements he/she is solely responsible for and will have to independently fulfill in relation to ownership or sale of such Stock.
3.Withholding of Tax.
(a)Participant acknowledges that regardless of any action taken by YUM! or if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items arising out of Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by ▇▇▇! and/or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that YUM! and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Stock acquired under the Plan pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalent Units; and (b) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if Participant is or becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that YUM! and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to YUM! and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes YUM! and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with respect to Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following (1) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash
3
compensation paid to Participant by ▇▇▇!, the Employer, or any Subsidiary of YUM!; or (2) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by YUM! (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (3) withholding in Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
(c)Depending on the withholding method, YUM! or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for the Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Stock, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(d)Participant shall pay to YUM! or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that YUM! or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described in this Paragraph 3. YUM! may refuse to issue or deliver the Stock or the proceeds from the sale of Stock, if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
4.Nature of Award. In accepting the Restricted Stock Units, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by YUM!, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by YUM! at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)this Award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;
(c)the Restricted Stock Units and any shares acquired under the Plan are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose;
(d)Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither YUM!, the Employer nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between his or her local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement;
(e)all decisions with respect to future grants of Restricted Stock Units or other Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of YUM!;
(f)Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
4
(g)this Award of Restricted Stock Units and any Stock acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(h)the future value of the Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(i)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Award of Restricted Stock Units or diminution in value of the Stock acquired upon settlement resulting from Participant’s separation from service (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of this Award of Restricted Stock Units to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against YUM!, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Employer, waives Participant’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases YUM!, its Subsidiaries and/or the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;
(j)for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, Participant’s employment or service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date Participant is no longer actively providing services to YUM! or one of its Subsidiaries (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by YUM!, Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Award (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);
(k)by accepting the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement, Participant agrees to an amendment to the terms of all prior Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreements between the Company and Participant pursuant to which there are currently unvested Restricted Stock Units outstanding, to add a new Section 13 to such Agreements which is identical to Section 13, Restrictive Covenants, of this Agreement; and
(l)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by YUM! in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of Stock.

5.Compensation Recovery Policy.
(a)Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Stock Units granted to Participant under this Agreement shall be subject to the YUM! Brands, Inc. Compensation Recovery Policy, amended and restated January 1, 2015 (“Compensation Recovery Policy”), and as in effect on the date of this Agreement.
(b)This Agreement is a voluntary agreement, and each Participant who has accepted the Agreement has chosen to do so voluntarily. Participant understands that the Restricted Stock Units provided under the Agreement and all amounts paid to the individual under the Agreement are provided as an advance that is contingent on YUM!’s financial statements not being subject to a material restatement. As a condition of the Agreement, Participant specifically agrees that the Committee may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict the Restricted Stock Units for any individual party to such an agreement due to a material restatement of YUM!’s financial statements, as provided in YUM!’s Compensation Recovery Policy. In the event that amounts have been paid to Participant pursuant to the Agreement and the Committee determines that Participant must repay an amount to YUM! as a result of the Committee’s cancellation, rescission, suspension, withholding or other limitation or restriction of rights, Participant agrees, as a condition of being awarded such rights, to make such repayments.
6.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or sale of the Stock acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units. Participant is ▇▇▇▇▇▇ advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
7.Adjustment for Change in Stock. As set forth in the Plan, in the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or similar corporate change, the number of shares which Participant may receive upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be adjusted appropriately in the Committee’s sole discretion.
8.Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, Participant shall be considered to be in the employment of the Company as long as Participant remains an employee of YUM! or any of its Subsidiaries or a corporation or a subsidiary of YUM! assuming or substituting a new award for this Award of Restricted Stock Units. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of such employment, and the cause of such termination, shall be determined by the Committee, or its delegate, as appropriate, and its determination shall be final.
Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to constitute or create a contract of service or employment, nor shall it constitute or create the right to remain associated with or in the service or employ of YUM!, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or related company for any particular period of time. This Agreement shall not interfere in any way with the right of YUM!, the Employer or any Subsidiary or related company, as applicable, to terminate Participant’s service or employment at any time. Furthermore, this Agreement, the Plan, and any other Plan documents are not part of Participant’s employment contract, if any, and do not guarantee either Participant’s
6
right to receive any future grants of Awards or benefits in lieu thereof under this Agreement or the Plan. The Restricted Stock Units and any Stock acquired under the Plan and the income and value of same are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments.
9.Data Privacy. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Employer, YUM! and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.
Participant understands that YUM! and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Stock or directorships held in YUM!, details of all Awards of Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
Participant understands that Data will be transferred to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, which is assisting YUM! with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections from Participant’s country. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Participant authorizes YUM!, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and any other possible recipients which may assist YUM! (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing his or her consent is that YUM! would not be able to grant Participant Restricted Stock Units or other Awards or administer or maintain such Awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

Participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in lieu of receiving documents in paper format, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that YUM! or related company may deliver in connection with this grant and any other grants offered by YUM!, including prospectuses, grant notifications, account statements, annual or quarterly reports, and other communications. Electronic delivery of a document may be made via YUM!’s email system or by reference to a location on YUM!’s intranet or website or website of YUM!’s agent administering the Plan.
To the extent Participant has been provided with a copy of this Agreement, the Plan, or any other documents relating to this Award in a language other than English, the English language documents will prevail in case of any ambiguities or divergences as a result of translation.
11.Committee’s Powers. No provision contained in this Agreement shall in any way terminate, modify or alter, or be construed or interpreted as terminating, modifying or altering any of the powers, rights or authority vested in the Committee or, to the extent delegated, in its delegate pursuant to the terms of the Plan or resolutions adopted in furtherance of the Plan, including, without limitation, the right to make certain determinations and elections with respect to the Restricted Stock Units.

In the event that any portion of this Section 13(b) shall be determined by a court or arbitrator to be unenforceable because it is unreasonably restrictive in any respect, it shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time for which it reasonably may be enforced and to the maximum extent for which it reasonably may be enforced in all other respects, and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such court or arbitrator in such action. Participant acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, the provisions of this Section 13(b) are not applicable to a Participant who is a resident of California and provides the majority of his or her services to the Company within California.
(c)Non-Solicitation. During Participant’s employment and for eighteen months following the later of (i) termination of Participant’s employment for any reason whatsoever or (ii) the last scheduled award vesting date, Participant shall not:

(ii)induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to work for, render services to, or provide advice to any third party;
(iii)induce or attempt to induce any current or former employee of the Company to supply confidential information of Company to any third party, except where disclosure is required to be made to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal;

In particular, Participant will not, directly or indirectly, induce any employee of Company to carry out any such activity.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, the provisions of this Section 13(c) are not applicable to a Participant who is a resident of California and provides the majority of his or her services to the Company within California.
The Company and Participant agree that the provisions of this Section 13 contain restrictions that are not greater than necessary to protect the interests of the Company.
(d)Partial Invalidity. If any portion of this Section 13 is determined by a court or arbitrator to be unenforceable in any respect, it shall be interpreted to be valid to the maximum extent for which it reasonably may be enforced, and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such arbitrator in such action. Participant acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.
(e)Clawback & Recovery. Participant agrees that a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants set forth in this Section 13 would cause material and irreparable harm to the Company.

(iii)The Committee has sole and absolute discretion to take action or not to take action pursuant to this Section 13 upon determination of a breach of a Restrictive Covenant, and its decision not to take action in any particular instance shall not in any way limit its authority to send a Recapture Notice in any other instance.
(iv)Any action taken by the Committee pursuant to this Section 13(e) is without prejudice to any other action the Committee may choose to take upon determination that the Participant has violated a Restrictive Covenant contained herein.
(v)This Section 13(e) will cease to apply upon a Change in Control.
(f)Right of Set Off. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, Participant agrees that any member of the Company Group may set off any amount owed to Participant (including wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay) against any amounts Participant owes under this Section 13.

(as defined by the laws in Participant’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ policy.

The Addendum constitutes part of this Agreement.
18.Imposition of Other Requirements. YUM! reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent YUM! determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

SPAIN
Terms and Conditions
Labor Law Acknowledgement. The following provision supplements Paragraph 4 of the Agreement:
Participant understands that YUM! has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Restricted Stock Units to select Eligible Individuals who meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the Plan. The decision is a limited decision, which is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any Restricted Stock Units granted will not economically or otherwise bind YUM! or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, Participant understands that the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder are given on the assumption and condition that they shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with YUM! or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant of Restricted Stock Units since the future value of the Restricted Stock Units and the underlying Stock is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, Participant understands that any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Participant understands, acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of Restricted Stock Units or right to Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void.
Further, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units is expressly conditioned on Participant's continued and active rendering of service, such that if his or her employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Restricted Stock Units may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of Participant's termination of employment except as otherwise specified in Paragraph 2 of the Agreement. This will be the case, for example, even if (1) Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) Participant terminates service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) Participant terminates service due to a unilateral breach of contract by YUM! or a Subsidiary; or (5) Participant's employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon termination of Participant's employment for any of the above reasons, Participant may automatically lose any rights to Restricted Stock Units that were not vested on the date of Participant's termination of employment unless otherwise provided in Paragraph 2 of the Agreement.
Participant acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in Paragraph 4 of the Agreement.
