You acknowledge that you have reviewed and fully understand all of the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, and have had the opportunity to obtain advice of counsel prior to accepting the grant of the RSUs pursuant to this Agreement. You hereby agree to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or relating to the RSUs.


Article I.
AWARD; VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT
I.1RSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested.
(b)The Company hereby grants to Participant, with respect to each RSU, a Dividend Equivalent for ordinary cash dividends paid to substantially all holders of outstanding Shares with a record date after the Grant Date and prior to the date the applicable RSU is settled, forfeited or otherwise expires. Each Dividend Equivalent entitles Participant to receive the equivalent cash value of any such ordinary cash dividends paid on a single Share. The Company will establish a separate Dividend Equivalent bookkeeping account (a “Dividend Equivalent Account”) for each Dividend Equivalent and credit the Dividend Equivalent Account (without interest) on the applicable dividend payment date with the amount of any such cash paid.
I.2Vesting; Forfeiture. The RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule set forth above (the “Vesting Schedule”), 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. Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator (or its delegate) or as otherwise provided for in the Plan or this Agreement with respect to [(a) Participant’s Termination of Service by the Employer (as defined below) other than for Misconduct (any such termination, a “Qualifying Termination”) 1 or (b)] Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of Participant’s [Retirement2,] death or Disability, the RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited as to any portion that is not vested as of Participant’s Termination of Service. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 1.3 and 1.5 of this Agreement or as provided by the Company under a formal, written severance plan or agreement, if Participant’s Termination of Service occurs prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date, Participant will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for any portion of time before the respective Scheduled Vesting Date during which Participant was providing services, nor will Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting. In addition, the RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited (including any portion that is then vested) upon the execution of a written determination by the Administrator or an authorized representative of the Company that Participant engaged in an act of Misconduct (whether the execution of such written determination occurs before or after Participant’s Termination of Service). Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) will vest or be forfeited, as applicable, upon the vesting or forfeiture of the RSU with respect to which the Dividend Equivalent (including the Dividend Equivalent Account) relates.
I.3Special Vesting Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.2 or the Vesting Schedule, the RSUs shall continue to vest, or vest on an accelerated basis, under the following circumstances (provided that none of the following events shall constitute the “Scheduled Vesting Date” for purposes of this Agreement):
1 Note: Bracketed “Qualifying Termination” provisions throughout this form may be included as part of the award terms for retention and other special grants. Such provisions will not be included as part of the terms of annual grants.
2 Note: Bracketed “Retirement” provisions throughout this form will be included as part of the award terms for annual grants. Such provisions will not be included as part of the terms of retention and other special grants.
2

(a)[If Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of Participant’s Retirement, the RSUs shall remain eligible to vest on the Scheduled Vesting Date as if Participant had not incurred a Termination of Service, subject to accelerated vesting pursuant to Section 1.3(b) and Section 1.5. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in Participant’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable Retirement treatment that otherwise would apply to the RSUs pursuant to this Section 1.3(a) being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply this favorable Retirement treatment at the time of Participant’s Termination of Service and the RSUs will be treated as they would under the rules that otherwise would have applied if Participant’s Termination of Service did not qualify as a Retirement.]
(b)If Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of death or Disability or Participant dies or incurs a Disability following the date of [a Qualifying Termination] [Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of Retirement], the RSUs shall fully vest as of the date of death or Disability, as applicable.
[(c)    If Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of a Qualifying Termination, the RSUs shall remain eligible to vest on the Scheduled Vesting Date as if Participant had not incurred a Qualifying Termination, subject to accelerated vesting pursuant to Section 1.3(a) and Participant’s timely execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims against the Company and its Affiliates (excluding any rights Participant may have to indemnification or coverage under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy) in a form prescribed by the Company in its sole discretion.]
For purposes of this Article I, the term “Disability” shall have the meaning given to such term in U.S. Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(i)(4).
I.4Settlement.
(a)All of Participant’s RSUs which are then vested pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5 will be paid in Shares, and any related Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) will be paid in cash, in each case, during the thirty (30)-day period beginning with the earliest to occur of the following events:
(i)the Scheduled Vesting Date;
(ii)the date of Participant’s death;
(iii)the date of Participant’s Disability; or
(iv)subject to Section 1.4(b), Participant’s Termination of Service following a Change in Control of the Company [(provided that, if Participant is or will be eligible for Retirement at any time on or after the Grant Date and prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date and to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, such Termination of Service must constitute a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h))]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Plan, no RSUs or Dividend Equivalents shall be distributed to Participant pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)(iv) during the six-month period following Participant’s separation from service if the Company determines that distributing such RSUs and Dividend Equivalents at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section
3

409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the distribution of any of Participant’s RSUs and Dividend Equivalents is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then such RSUs and Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) shall be paid to Participant during the thirty (30)-day period beginning on the first business day following the end of such six-month period (or such earlier date upon which such RSUs and Dividend Equivalents can be distributed under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of Participant’s death).
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.4(a) above, in the event that the vesting of the RSUs accelerates pursuant to Section 1.5(b), Shares shall be distributed to Participant in settlement of such RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents (including any Dividend Equivalent Account balance) shall be paid to Participant immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control.
(c)Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the time of distribution of the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents under this Agreement may not be changed except as may be permitted by the Administrator in accordance with Section 409A and the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
I.5Effect of Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Vesting Schedule or Sections 1.2 and 1.3, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the following provisions shall apply:
(a)In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service (i) by the Company or any Subsidiary other than as a result of Participant’s Misconduct or (ii) by Participant for Good Reason, in either case, within eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control of the Company, the RSUs shall become fully vested as of the date of such Termination of Service.
(b)In the event that the RSUs are not assumed or continued, or an equivalent award substituted for the RSUs, by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation in connection with a Change in Control of the Company, the RSUs shall become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control.
For purposes of this Section 1.5, “Good Reason” means (i) a material diminution in Participant’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control of the Company, (ii) a material diminution in Participant’s base salary or annual planned cash compensation, or (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which Participant is required to perform services for the Company or any Subsidiary.
Article II.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
II.1Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant's employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or
4

the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the RSUs or any related Dividend Equivalents, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon vesting, and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company 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)In connection with any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to assist the Company and/or the Employer in satisfying any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, may satisfy, or allow Participant to satisfy, their withholding obligation, if any, with regard to all Tax-Related Items by any of the following, or a combination thereof:
(i)By cash, check or wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that the Company may limit the use of one of the foregoing methods if one or more of the methods below is permitted;
(ii)Delivery (including telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable upon settlement of the RSUs, and that the broker has been directed to deliver promptly to the Company funds sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Company;
(iii)To the extent permitted by the Administrator, surrendering Shares then issuable upon settlement of the RSUs valued at their Fair Market Value on such date; or
(iv)By the deduction of such amount from salary or other compensation payable to Participant.
(c)The Company and/or the Employer has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely payment of any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items as Participant's election to satisfy all or any portion of the Tax-Related Items pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iii) or (iv) above, or a combination of such sections.
(d)The Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in Participant’s jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash through the Employer’s normal payroll processes (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock) or, if not refunded, Participant may be able to seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, Participant may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by surrendering Shares, solely for tax purposes and not intended to modify or restrict in any way Section 4.2 of the Plan, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full
5

number of Shares subject to the vested RSU, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are surrendered for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(e)Participant understands and agrees that certain withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items may arise prior to any issuance of Shares or payment of cash under Section 1.4 if the RSUs are at any time not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Section 83 of the Code (or similar rules under non-U.S. legislation or case law) prior to such date. If Shares are issued or cash is paid on an accelerated basis to satisfy the U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax imposed under Sections 3101, 3121(a) or 3121(v)(2) of the Code (the “FICA Tax”) or comparable non-U.S. tax liabilities as provided in this Section 2.1(e) as a result of the lapse of the substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Section 83 of the Code (or similar rules under non-U.S. legislation or case law) prior to the issuance of Shares or payment of cash under Section 1.4, then Participant may have income tax at source on wages imposed under Section 3401 of the Code or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable non-U.S. federal tax laws, or applicable U.S. or non-U.S. state or local tax laws (together with the FICA Tax, the “FICA-Related Taxes”). Participant’s FICA-Related Taxes shall be satisfied by the deduction of such amount from other compensation payable to Participant. To the extent the other compensation payable to Participant is determined by the Company to be insufficient to satisfy Participant’s FICA-Related Taxes, Participant’s acceptance of the RSUs hereunder constitutes Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company to satisfy the FICA-Related Taxes through the accelerated issuance and withholding of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the RSUs having a then-current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the FICA-Related Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries based on the applicable statutory withholding rates.
(f)Finally, Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company 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. The Company may refuse to honor the vesting of the RSUs and/or refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds from the sale of the Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant's obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(l)    unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Administrator, the RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the RSUs 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 Common Stock;

any other Subsidiary 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; and

The Plan and this Agreement (including all exhibits and appendices 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.

The Applicable Laws of Participant’s country may require that Participant report such accounts, assets, the balances therein, the value thereof and/or the transactions related thereto to the applicable authorities in such country. Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participation in the Plan to Participant’s country through a designated broker or bank and/or within a certain time after receipt.

III.15▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws.

Local ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders placed by Participant before possessing inside information. Furthermore, Participant understands that he or she may be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ policy of the Company. Participant acknowledges that Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult Participant’s personal legal advisor on these matters.
III.16Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment that Participant may be eligible to receive under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct payment.
III.17Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix. Specifically, in the event Participant resides or relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes a part of this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.
III.18Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement and the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding the choice-of-law principles of the State of Delaware and any other state requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of Delaware. [For purposes of litigating any dispute concerning the grant of the RSUs, the Dividend Equivalents or this Agreement, Participant consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Minnesota and agrees that such litigation shall be conducted exclusively in the courts of Ramsey County, Minnesota, or the federal courts for the United States for the District of Minnesota, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.]
III.19Recoupment. All RSUs, whether unvested or vested, any Shares issued at vesting of the RSUs, and proceeds from the sale of such Shares shall be subject to the Company’s Recoupment Policy, as amended from time to time (the “Recoupment Policy”). As such, any RSUs granted to Participant, any Shares acquired pursuant to such RSUs, and any proceeds from the sale of such Shares, shall be subject to deduction, clawback or forfeiture as provided under the Recoupment Policy (to the extent Participant is subject to the Recoupment Policy) or as otherwise required to comply with Applicable Laws. In order to satisfy any recoupment or clawback obligation arising under the Recoupment Policy or otherwise under Applicable Laws, among other things, Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm or stock plan service provider engaged
10

by the Company to hold any Shares or other amounts acquired pursuant to the RSUs to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company’s enforcement of the Recoupment Policy or compliance with Applicable Law.

Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) or, if not defined therein, the Plan.
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the RSUs granted to Participant under the Plan if Participant resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant resides and/or works, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the Company shall determine, in its sole discretion, to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to Participant.
Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2024. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may become out of date in the future.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Participant’s country may apply to Participant’s situation.
Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant resides and/or works, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Grant Date, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.
DATA PRIVACY PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO PARTICIPANTS IN THE EEA+
Participants in the European Union/European Economic Area/Switzerland/United Kingdom (collectively, the “EEA+”) should refer to the Data Privacy Notice and Declaration of Consent which is available to Participants online through the Company’s Fidelity platform, and which must be acknowledged and accepted as a condition of accepting this Agreement.
DATA PRIVACY PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO PARTICIPANTS OUTSIDE THE EEA+
Participant 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 RSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its other Subsidiaries for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant's participation in the Plan.


Participant understands that the Company and the Employer hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant's name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, passport, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, work location, service entry date, leave or disability status, basis for Termination of Service, date of death, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all stock options, RSUs or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant's favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant's participation in the Plan.
Participant understands that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Investments and certain of its affiliates (“Fidelity”), or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company 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 than Participant's country. Participant understands that Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Participant's local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, Fidelity and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (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 purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Plan. Participant understands that if Participant resides outside the United States, Participant may, at any time, view Data, request 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 Participant's local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke Participant's consent, Participant's employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant's consent is that the Company may not be able to grant RSUs or other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing Participant's 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 Participant may contact Participant's local human resources representative.
Finally, Participant understands that the Company may rely on a different legal basis for the processing or transfer of Data in the future and/or request that Participant provide another data privacy consent. If applicable and upon request of the Company or the Employer, Participant agrees to provide a separate executed acknowledgment or data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from Participant for the purpose of administering Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in Participant’s country, either now or in the future. Participant understands and agrees that

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Canadian residents are required to report their foreign specified property on form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign specified property exceeds a certain threshold at any time in the year. Foreign specified property includes Shares acquired under the Plan and may include the RSUs. The RSUs must be reported -- generally at nil cost -- if the cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property Participant holds. If Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB ordinarily would equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if Participant owns other Shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The form T1135 generally must be filed by April 30 of the following year. Participant should consult with his or her personal advisor to ensure compliance with the applicable reporting requirements.
Securities Law Information. Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (i.e., the New York Stock Exchange).

Unless the RSUs and/or the Shares are registered with the CMF, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.

It may also be possible for Participant to provide other evidence in the form of the Agreement or a report of the vesting and the number of Shares acquired and sold; however, neither the Company nor Fidelity is under any obligation to provide Participant with such a report. Participant should consult with his or her personal legal and tax advisors regarding how to register with the CIRS (if desired).

CHINA
The following provisions apply only if Participant is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:
Terms and Conditions
Forfeiture Upon Termination of Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent not earlier vested, forfeited, canceled or otherwise extinguished, the RSUs shall be forfeited on the date that is six (6) months from the date of Termination of Service (for any reason, including [Retirement][Qualifying Termination]), or on any earlier date after Termination of Service as may be required under SAFE regulations or rules, and thereafter Participant shall have no entitlement to the underlying Shares.
Immediate Sale of Shares Upon Termination of Service. Participant understands and agrees that upon Participant's Termination of Service for any reason, including [Retirement][ Qualifying Termination], death or Disability, Participant is required to and Participant will sell all Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs; provided, however, that if Participant’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of Participant’s [Retirement][Qualifying Termination] no more than six (6) months before the vesting date of the RSUs, this requirement to sell all Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs will apply as soon as reasonably possible following such vesting date. Any Shares not sold at Participant's direction within a reasonable period of time following Participant's Termination of Service (or upon the vesting date, if applicable), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, will be sold on Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent. In this case, the Company will be under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price.
Responsibility for Taxes. Notwithstanding Section 2.1(c) of the Agreement, if Participant fails to provide timely payment of any Tax-Related Items, such failure shall be viewed as Participant's express authorization (without further action on Participant's part) for the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all or any portion of any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii) of the Agreement or, if such withholding method is deemed to be not in accordance with Applicable Laws, pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iv) of the Agreement.
Repatriation of Sale Proceeds and Dividends. Any Shares that Participant acquires at vesting of the RSUs (less amounts required to be withheld to satisfy Tax-Related Items) will be credited to Participant’s account in Participant’s trust or other account established under the Plan. Participant understands that these Shares must remain in such Participant’s trust or other account until such time as Participant decides or is required to sell them. Participant understands and agrees that, due to exchange control laws in China, Participant will be required to immediately repatriate to the Approved Account described below the proceeds from the sale of Shares that Participant acquires upon the vesting of the RSUs. Participant also understands and agrees that this repatriation requirement also applies to any dividends that are paid on such Shares and the Dividend Equivalents paid with respect to the RSUs, which must be repatriated to China at the time and in the manner established by the Company. Participant further agrees that such proceeds and dividends must be transferred directly from the participant trust or other account established under the Plan to the dedicated foreign exchange account established by the Company or a Subsidiary in China and approved by SAFE or its local counterpart under applicable exchange control rules (the “Approved Account”) before such proceeds and dividends can be remitted to Participant. Participant further agrees not to instruct or cause the Administrator to transfer such cash proceeds
A-7

and dividends to any person, broker or entity other than the Approved Account. Participant further agrees to cooperate with and comply with any other requests made by the Company, the Employer or the Administrator in the future in order to facilitate compliance with the exchange control requirements in China. Participant undertakes to reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for any penalties or other charges that they may incur resulting from any failure by Participant to ensure compliance with the requirements set forth in this paragraph. Participant understands that, due to exchange control requirements in China, the funds held on Participant's behalf in the Approved Account may be converted from U.S. dollars into local currency only once per calendar quarter, and that these funds may not be remitted to Participant until this conversion occurs. Finally, Participant understands and agrees that neither the Company nor the Employer assumes any liability for any fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate between the time that Participant acquires Shares upon the vesting of the RSUs, the time that dividends or Dividend Equivalents are received with respect to such Shares or RSUs, or the time Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan, either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company, and the time Participant receives the cash proceeds in China through the Approved Account.
Additional Restrictions. The RSUs will not vest and the Shares subject to vested RSUs will not be settled unless the Company determines that such vesting and the settlement of Shares complies with all relevant provisions of law. Further, the Company is under no obligation to allow vesting of the RSUs and/or issue Shares upon vesting of the RSUs if the Company has not obtained SAFE approval or the Company’s SAFE approval becomes invalid or ceases to be in effect by the time Participant vests in the RSUs.
