Section 1.3.Disability Termination

“Disability Termination” shall mean (a) the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries is involuntarily terminated by the Company or any Subsidiary that employs the Grantee other than with Cause at a time when the Grantee is eligible for and receiving benefits under the Company’s long term disability plan and (b) such termination of employment also constitutes a Separation from Service.

Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)(1) (including the extended disability leave provisions). Under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)(1), unless the Grantee retains a

right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the Separation from Service is deemed to occur on the first date immediately following six (6) months or, for certain disabilities, twenty-nine (29) months.

​

Section ▇.▇.▇▇ Guarantee of Employment

Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the employment of the Grantee at any time and for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, subject to the applicable provisions of, if any, the Grantee’s employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary that employs the Grantee or offer letter provided by the Company or any Subsidiary that employs the Grantee to the Grantee.

VESTING AND PAYMENT

​

Section 3.1.Vesting

​

​

​

Section 3.2.Payment of Restricted Stock Units  

(a)Payment and Delivery. Shares corresponding to the number of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3.1(a) or (b) (“RSU Shares”) shall be paid, subject to any applicable withholdings, to the Grantee, or, if deceased, the Grantee’s estate, either through delivery of a Share certificate or registration of the issuance of such RSU Shares on the Company’s books and records, and such RSU Shares shall be registered in the name of the Grantee or, if deceased, the Grantee’s estate. The RSU Shares shall be paid on the Vesting Date unless vesting is accelerated under Section 3.1(b) prior to such Vesting Date. In the event vesting is accelerated under Section 3.1(b), the RSU Shares shall be paid as follows (based on the first to occur of Retirement, Disability Termination, Qualifying Termination, or death, but only if such accelerated payment timing results in payment before the applicable Vesting Date): (i) six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Grantee’s Separation from Service; or (ii) within ninety (90) days following the date of the Grantee’s death. If the Grantee dies after another payment event triggering payment under Section

3.2(a)(i) but prior to actual payment, payment of the RSU Shares shall occur upon the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days following the date of the Grantee’s death; or (B) the original payment time under Section 3.2(a)(i). In determining the number of RSU Shares to be withheld for taxes as provided in Section 4.3, the value of the RSU Shares shall be based upon the Fair Market Value of the RSU Shares on the date of payment. If the date of payment falls on a weekend, holiday or other non-trading day, the value of any RSU Shares payable on such date of payment shall be determined based on the Fair Market Value of the RSU Shares on the most recent prior trading date.

(b)Authorized Shares. The RSU Shares may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares or issued Shares, which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

Section ▇.▇.▇▇ Dividend Equivalents

The Grantee shall have no right to dividend equivalents or dividends on the Restricted Stock Units.

Section 3.4.Rights as Shareholder  

The Grantee shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any RSU Shares issuable upon the payment of the Restricted Stock Units or any portion thereof unless and until certificates representing such RSU Shares shall have been issued by the Company to the Grantee (or book entry representing such RSU Shares has been made with the appropriate registered book-entry custodian).

ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.1.Administration

The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan, this Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action taken or determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Restricted Stock Units. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan and this Agreement.

Section 4.2.Transferability  

None of (a) the Restricted Stock Units prior to becoming vested pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or (b), (b) the RSU Shares prior to delivery pursuant to Section 3.2(a), or (c) any interest or right therein or part thereof (i) shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Grantee or his or her successors in interest or (ii) shall be subject in any manner to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, assignment, charge or any other means whether any such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any

attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided, however, that this Section 4.2 shall not prevent transfers by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or other transfers authorized in limited circumstances by the Committee (or its Delegee).

Section 4.3.Taxes

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (in compliance with Section 409A of the Code), at the time of payment of the RSU Shares, the Company shall withhold from any RSU Shares deliverable in payment of the Restricted Stock Units the number of RSU Shares having a value equal to the minimum amount of federal, state or local income or other taxes required to be withheld under applicable laws and regulations, and pay the amount of such withholding taxes in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (in compliance with Section 409A of the Code), if vesting occurs prior to payment and applicable law requires the payment of employment taxes at such time, then the Company shall withhold from the Restricted Stock Units the number of RSU Shares having a value equal to the minimum amount of federal, state or local income and employment or other taxes required to be withheld under applicable law and regulations, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, and pay the amount of such withholding taxes in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. With regard to withholding at the time of payment (but not at the time of vesting), any fractional Shares resulting from the payment of the withholding amounts shall be liquidated and paid in cash to the U.S. Treasury as additional federal income tax withholding for the Grantee. With regard to withholding at the time of vesting, only full Shares (determined by rounding down to the next full Share) shall be liquidated and paid in cash to the U.S. Treasury and any additional amounts due for tax withholding shall be paid by the Grantee. The Grantee shall be responsible for any withholding taxes not satisfied by means of such mandatory withholding and for all taxes in excess of such withholding taxes that may be due upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.

Section 4.4.Limitation on Obligations

The Restricted Stock Units shall not be secured by any specific assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor shall any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be designated as attributable or allocated to the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall not be liable to the Grantee for damages relating to any delays in issuing the Share certificates or electronic delivery thereof to him or her (or his or her designated entities), any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance or registration of the certificates or in the certificates themselves.  

Section 4.5.Securities Laws  

The Company may require the Grantee to make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements, in a form satisfactory to the Committee (or its Delegee), as the Committee (or its Delegee) may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including without limitation written representations stating that the RSU Shares are being acquired for the Grantee’s own account, for investment and without any present intention of distributing or reselling said RSU Shares or any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and then applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and that the Grantee will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and harmless from any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to the Company if any sale or distribution of the RSU Shares by such person is contrary to the representation and agreement referred to above; provided, however, that the Committee

(or its Delegee) may, in its reasonable discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems reasonably necessary to ensure the observance and performance of such representation and agreement and to effect compliance with the Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations. The Restricted Stock Units and the RSU Shares shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals of any governmental agencies as may be required.

Section 4.6.Notices

Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of its General Counsel or his or her designee, and any notice to be given to the Grantee shall be addressed to the Grantee at the last address of the Grantee known to the Company unless otherwise directed by the Grantee. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 4.6, either party may hereafter designate a different address for the provision of notices under this Agreement. Any notice, which is required to be given to the Grantee, shall, if the Grantee is then deceased, be given to the Grantee’s personal representative if such representative has previously informed the Company of his or her status and address by written notice under this Section 4.6. Any notice shall have been deemed duly given when (a) delivered in person; (b) enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service; or (c) enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, deposited (with fees prepaid) in an office regularly maintained by FedEx, UPS, or comparable non-public mail carrier.

Section 4.7.Titles; Pronouns

Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement. The masculine pronoun shall include the feminine and neuter, and the singular the plural, where the context so indicates.

Section 4.8.Applicability of the Plan

The Restricted Stock Units and the RSU Shares issued to the Grantee upon payment of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan to the extent applicable to a restricted stock unit and Shares. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

Section 4.9.Amendment

This Agreement may only be amended pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan.

Section 4.10.Governing Law

The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws. This Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units are subject to all present and future applicable provisions of the Code. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any such Code provision, the Committee shall modify this Agreement so as to comply, or if for any reason modification cannot be made, that provision of this Agreement shall be void and of no effect. The provisions of Section 10(c) of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall

not be liable to the Grantee in the event this Agreement or any payment or benefit hereunder fails to be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Code.

Section 4.11.Arbitration

Unless a dispute between the Company and the Grantee (referred to in this Section as the “Parties”) under this Agreement is excluded from being determined by arbitration under applicable law (see below), any dispute among the Parties arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement which cannot be settled amicably by the Parties, shall be finally, exclusively and conclusively settled by mandatory arbitration and be further subject to the following provisions:

(a)The arbitration will be filed with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).

AAA’s Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures will only apply if not inconsistent with the Federal Rules of Procedure and Evidence;

(b)the arbitration will be conducted within the time or limitations period required by the asserted claim(s). In addition, any administrative prerequisites associated with the asserted claim(s) (e.g., notices, filing of administrative charges, or obtaining “right to sue” notices from government agencies) must be satisfied;

(c)The arbitration process shall take place in Nashville, Tennessee, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties;

(d)The arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. (the “FAA”);

(e)The Parties waive any and all rights to a judge or jury trial and/or administrative hearing of their disputes and agree to resolve such disputes only through final and binding individual arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law;

(f)Disputes excluded (“Excluded Disputes") from arbitration under this Section include: (i) claims for workers’ compensation, state disability insurance, unemployment insurance benefits, or other health or welfare benefits under government-administered programs; (ii) claims constituting sexual harassment or sexual assault disputes as defined by the FAA; (iii) claims for which this provision would be invalid or prohibited as a matter of federal law, or state or local law that is not preempted by federal law; (iv) disputes that may not be subject to a pre-dispute arbitration agreement as provided by the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Public Law 111-203); (v) claims which are legally prohibited from being adjudicated in arbitration; (vi) disputes arising or related to the applicability, interpretation, enforceability, scope and/or severability of this Section, including whether such provisions are governed by the FAA, which must be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction in Davidson County, Tennessee, or a district court in the U.S. District for the Middle District of Tennessee; and (vii) any disputes as to whether any claims or disputes are Excluded Disputes, which must be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction in Davidson County, Tennessee, or a district court in the U.S. District for the Middle District of Tennessee;

(g)The Parties agree and stipulate that (i) all claims that relate to a sexual harassment or sexual assault dispute, as defined in the FAA, shall be filed (or if not filed as, severed into) a separate case from all other claims; (ii) those claims that do not relate to a sexual harassment or sexual assault

dispute and are subject to arbitration under this Section shall be governed by and proceed with individual arbitration, it being the express intent of the Parties to allow for individual arbitration of claims to the maximum extent possible; and (iii) if a Party brings claims subject to arbitration and claims that are not subject to arbitration, the latter shall be stayed until the former are fully arbitrated;

(h)The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all Parties hereto and shall be rendered pursuant to a written decision, which contains a detailed recital of the arbitrator’s reasoning.

(i)Each Party shall bear its own legal fees and expenses, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator, and each Party shall bear an equal portion of the arbitrator’s and arbitral forum’s fees.

Section 4.12.Clawback

As a condition of receiving the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to any reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of certain specified events, as may be required by any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any applicable national exchange, or by any other applicable law, rule or regulation or as set forth in a separate “clawback” or recoupment policy as may be adopted from time to time by the Board or the Committee, including but not limited to the Company’s Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy (as may be amended or replaced from time to time) (collectively, the “Clawback Requirement”), and the Grantee agrees to abide by any such Clawback Requirement. In the event the Grantee no longer owns the RSU Shares at the time of required recoupment, the Grantee agrees to the recoupment of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the RSU Shares on the date the RSU Shares were sold. To the extent allowed by state and federal law and as determined by the Board or the Committee, the Grantee agrees that such recoupment may, in the discretion of the Committee, be accomplished by withholding of future compensation, including but not limited to base salary to the extent permitted by law, to be paid to the Grantee by the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee.

Section 4.13.Consent to Electronic Delivery

The Grantee hereby consents to and agrees to electronic delivery of this Agreement, the RSU Shares, Plan documents, proxy materials, annual reports and other related documents.

The Grantee hereby consents to such procedures and agrees that his or her electronic acceptance is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature. The Grantee hereby consents and agrees that any such procedures and delivery may be effected by a third party designated by the Committee (or its Delegee) to provide administrative services related to the Plan.

Section 4.14.Restricted Stock Units and Agreement Acceptance

​

The Grantee must accept the Restricted Stock Units and this Agreement through the electronic system maintained by the third party designated by the Committee (or its Delegee) to administer the Plan or by other electronic or manual means acceptable to the Committee (or its Delegee) in its sole

discretion no later than sixty (60) days after the Grant Date (or such later date as the Committee (or its Delegee) may accept). If the Grantee does not timely accept, or if the Grantee declines, the Restricted Stock Units, the Restricted Stock Units will be canceled ab initio and the Grantee will not be entitled to any benefits from the Restricted Stock Units nor any compensation or benefits in lieu of the canceled award.

HONG KONG APPENDIX

Payment of Restricted Stock Units.  This provision supplements Section 3.2 of the Agreement:

The grant of the Restricted Stock Units does not provide any right for the Grantee to receive a cash payment, and the Restricted Stock Units are payable in RSU Shares only. This provision is without prejudice to the application of the tax withholding under Section 4.3 of the Agreement.

Restriction on Sale.  In the event the Restricted Stock Units vest and RSU Shares are issued to the Grantee within six (6) months of the Grant Date, the Grantee agrees that he or she will not dispose of any such RSU Shares in a manner which amounts to an offer for sale to the Hong Kong public prior to the six (6)-month anniversary of the Grant Date.

Securities Law Information.  Warning: The contents of this document have not been reviewed by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong. The Grantee should exercise caution in relation to the offer. If the Grantee is in any doubt about any of the contents of this document, the Grantee should obtain independent professional advice. Neither the grant of the Restricted Stock Units nor the issuance of RSU shares upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units constitutes a public offering of securities under Hong Kong law and is available only to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Agreement, the Plan and other incidental communication materials distributed in connection with the Restricted Stock Units (i) have not been prepared in accordance with and are not intended to constitute a “prospectus” for a public offering of securities under the applicable securities legislation in Hong Kong, and (ii) are intended only for the personal use of each eligible employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries and may not be distributed to any other person.

MEXICO APPENDIX

Acknowledgment.  By participating in the Plan, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has received a copy of the Plan, has reviewed the Plan in its entirety and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan.  The Grantee further acknowledges that (i) the Grantee’s participation in the Plan does not constitute an acquired right; (ii) the Plan and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan are offered by the Company on a wholly discretionary basis; (iii) the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; and (iv) the Company and its Subsidiaries are not responsible for any decrease in the value of the RSU Shares.

Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgment.  By participating in the Plan, the Grantee expressly recognizes that the Company, with its principal executive offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇.▇., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and acquisition of Shares do not constitute an employment relationship between the Grantee and the Company, since the Grantee is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis.  Based on the foregoing, the Grantee expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Grantee and the Subsidiary employing the Optionee (the “Employer”) and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Employer, and that any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee’s employment with the Employer.

The Grantee further understands that the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is as a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of the Company.  Therefore, the Company reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue the Grantee’s participation at any time without any liability to the Grantee.

Finally, the Grantee hereby declares that the Grantee does not reserve to the Grantee any action or right to bring any claim against the Company for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and the Grantee therefore grants a full and broad release to the Company, its Subsidiaries, branches, representation offices, its shareholders, officers, agents or legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.

Securities Law Information. The Restricted Stock Units offered under the Plan and the RSU Shares have not been registered with the National Register of Securities maintained by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission and cannot be offered or sold publicly in Mexico.  In addition, the Plan and any other document relating to the Restricted Stock Units may not be publicly distributed in Mexico. These materials are addressed to the Grantee only because of his or her existing relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and these materials should not be reproduced or copied in any form. The offer contained in these materials does not constitute a public offering of securities but rather constitutes a private placement of securities addressed specifically to individuals who are present employees of the Company or a Subsidiary, made in accordance with the provisions of the Mexican Securities Market Law, and any rights under such offering shall not be assigned or transferred.
