(a)In the event of a Change in Control in which the Restricted Stock Units will not be continued, assumed or substituted with Substitute Awards (as defined below), the Operating Income requirements of the Target Level in Section 5(c) of this Agreement shall automatically be deemed satisfied and all of the Restricted Stock Units not otherwise forfeited shall vest immediately prior to the Change in Control.

(d)If the Restricted Stock Units are substituted with Substitute Awards as set forth in subclauses (b) or (c) of this Section 6, and within 12 months following the Change in Control the Grantee is terminated by the Successor (or an affiliate thereof) without Cause or resigns for Good Reason, the Substitute Awards not otherwise forfeited shall immediately vest upon such termination or resignation.
(e)The following definitions shall apply to this Section 6:
i.“Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (a) the Grantee’s material misconduct or neglect in the performance of his or her duties; (b) the Grantee’s commission of any felony; offense punishable by imprisonment in a state or federal penitentiary; any offense, civil or criminal, involving material dishonesty, fraud, moral turpitude or immoral conduct; or any crime of sufficient import to potentially discredit or adversely affect the Company’s ability to conduct its business in the normal course; (c) the Grantee’s material breach of the Company’s written Code of Conduct, as in effect from time to time; (d) the Grantee’s commission of any act that results in severe harm to the Company excluding any act taken by the Grantee in good faith that he or she reasonably believed was in the best interests of the Company; or (e) the Grantee’s material breach of the Employee Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement by and between Grantee and the Company (the “Confidentiality, Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement”) attached hereto as Attachment B. However, none of the foregoing events or conditions will constitute Cause unless the Company provides Grantee with written notice of the event or condition and thirty (30) days to cure such event or condition (if curable) and the event or condition is not cured within such 30-day period.
ii.“Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) a diminishment in the scope of the Grantee’s duties or responsibilities with the Company; (b) a reduction in the Grantee’s current base salary, bonus opportunity or a material reduction in the aggregate benefits or perquisites; or (c) a requirement that the Grantee relocate more than fifty (50) miles from his or her primary place of business as of the date of a Change in Control, or a significant increase in required travel as part of the Grantee’s duties and responsibilities with the Company.

iii.An award will qualify as a “Substitute Award” if it is assumed, substituted or replaced by the Successor with awards that, solely in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board, preserves the existing value of the outstanding Restricted Stock Units at the time of the Change in Control and provides vesting and payout terms that are at least as favorable to Grantee as the vesting and payout terms applicable to the Restricted Stock Units.
iv.“Successor” shall mean the continuing or successor organization, as the case may be, following the Change in Control.
7.Forfeiture. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement, with respect to the Restricted Stock Units which have not become vested on the date the Grantee’s employment is terminated, the Award of Restricted Stock Units shall expire and such unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately be forfeited on such date.
For purposes of the Award, the Grantee’s employment will be considered terminated as of the date the Grantee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable (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 the Grantee is employed or rendering services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or service agreement, if any). Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the Grantee’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., the Grantee’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 the Grantee is employed or rendering services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or service agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of his or her Award (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).
8.Obligation to Continue Employment. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee’s status as an employee and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment status of the Grantee at any time.
9.Employee Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement. As a condition to the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, Grantee shall have executed and become a party to the Confidentiality, Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement.
10.No Shareholder Rights. Grantee does not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. No dividend equivalents will be earned or paid with regard to the Restricted Stock Units.
11.Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party hereto upon any breach or default of any party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereafter occurring nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party or any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
12.Integration. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those expressly set forth herein and in the Plan. This Agreement and the Plan supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to its subject matter.
13.Withholding Taxes. The Grantee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary or Affiliate for which the Grantee is a Service Provider (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Grantee 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 Restricted Stock Units, including, but not
limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee 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.
Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy their withholding obligations, if any, with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(a) | withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer; or |
(b) | withholding from 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 the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or |
(c) | withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; or |
(d) | by any other method deemed by the Company to comply with applicable laws. |
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Grantee will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Stock. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, the Grantee 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 the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock if the Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
14.Nature of Grant. In accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the grant of the 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)all decisions with respect to future restricted stock units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)the Award and any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f)the Award and any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or payments or welfare benefits or similar payments;
(g)the future value of the shares of Stock underlying the Award is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(h)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of the Grantee’s status as an employee (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or rendering services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units to which the Grantee is otherwise not entitled, the Grantee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company and any other Subsidiary or Affiliate 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, the Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;
(i)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award 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 Stock; and
(j)neither the Company nor any other Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to the Grantee pursuant to settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement.
15.Data Privacy. The Grantee hereby voluntarily consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
The Grantee understands that the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate may hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
The Grantee understands that Data will be transferred to the stock plan service provider selected by the Company, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Grantee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country. The Grantee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Human Resources at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. The Grantee authorizes the Company, the stock plan service provider 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 sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that 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, the Grantee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Company will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Grantee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Grantee understands that he or she may contact Human Resources at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

17.Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be signed by the Company through application of an authorized officer’s signature, and may be signed by Grantee through an electronic signature.
18.Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to the provisions governing conflict of laws.

advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Award Agreement.
20.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Grantee acknowledges that, depending on the Grantee’s country of residence, the Grantee may be subject to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Grantee’s ability to acquire or sell shares of Stock or rights to shares of Stock (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) under the Plan during such times as the Grantee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the Grantee’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.

Modification. By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, Grantee understands and agrees that any modification of the Plan or the Agreement or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of employment.

Notifications
Securities Law Information. The Grantee should be aware of Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of shares of Stock acquired under the Plan. In particular, the Grantee may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions involving shares of Stock during the period in which Grantee has "inside information" regarding the Company.
By accepting the Restricted Stock Units and participating in the Plan, Grantee acknowledges having read and understood this Securities Law Information and further acknowledges that it is Grantee's responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider-trading rules:
Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has “inside information” related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of details concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate, which is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be a service provider in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.
Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain service providers working in the Netherlands (possibly including the Grantee) may have inside information and, thus, would be
prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when the Grantee had such inside information.

UNITED KINGDOM
Terms and Conditions
Withholding Taxes. The following provisions supplement Section 13 of the Award Agreement:
Grantee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to account to HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) with respect to the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items (the “Chargeable Event”) that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. If payment or withholding of income tax is not made within ninety (90) days after the Chargeable Event, or, if the Chargeable Event occurs on or after April 6, 2014, within 90 days after the end of the UK tax year in which the Chargeable Event occurs or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, (the “Due Date”), Grantee agrees that the amount of any uncollected income tax shall (assuming Grantee is not a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)), constitute a loan owed by Grantee to the employer, effective on the Due Date. The loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and it will be immediately due and repayable by the Grantee, and the Company or the employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 13 of the Award Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the 1934 Act), the Grantee will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the unpaid income tax. In the event that the Grantee is such a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by the Grantee by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected taxes will constitute a benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) will be payable. The Grantee will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Company or the employer, as applicable, any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the employer may recover from the Grantee by any of the means referred to in Section 13 of the Award Agreement.
