1.10 | unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Shares and benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Shares or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporation transaction affecting the Shares; and |

2.1 | The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Employee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other PRSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Company and any parent or subsidiary corporation for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan. |
2.2 | The Employee understands that the Company may hold certain personal information about the Employee, including, but not limited to, the Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all PRSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. |
2.3 | The Employee understands that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Stock Plan Services and any of its affiliated companies (“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. The Employee 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 the Employee’s country. The Employee understands that 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. The Employee 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 sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands 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 Employee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Employee does not consent, or if the Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Company will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Employee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant PRSUs or other equity awards to the Employee or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Employee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Employee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative. |
2.4 | Upon request of the Company, the Employee agrees to provide a separate executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company) that the Company may deem necessary to obtain from the Employee for the purpose of administering his or her participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Employee’s country, either now or in the future. The Employee understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Employee fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company. |
