The parties agree as follows:
1. Grant of Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a copy of which has been made available to the Participant
and made a part of this Award, and to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the Company grants to the Participant an Award of Options or an SAR, as specified in the Award Notice.
2. Exercise Price. The purchase price payable upon exercise of the Options or used to determine the value of the SARs shall be the Exercise Price per Share stated in the Award Notice.
3. Exercise of Vested Portion of Award. The Award may be exercised by the Participant, in whole or in part, from time to time, to the extent the Award is vested and prior to the Expiration Date stated in the Award Notice. The
vesting schedule of the Award is as follows:
(a) Fifty Percent (50%) of the Award shall vest on the second anniversary of the Grant Date. (b) Fifty Percent (50%) of the Award shall vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.
The Award shall expire ten years from the Grant Date.
4. Exercise Procedure. The Award may only be exercised through the Company’s Option/SAR execution service provider following the procedures established by the Committee.
5. (a) Conditions
to Issuance or Payment. Before the Company will become obligated to issue or transfer Shares or pay cash upon exercise of the Option or SAR, the Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company or its Affiliates such amount as may be requested by the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of satisfying its liability to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of the exercise of the Award. If the amount requested is not paid, the Company may refuse to issue or transfer Shares or pay
cash, as applicable, upon exercise of the Award.
(b) Share Withholding or Delivery. The Participant shall be permitted to satisfy the Company's withholding tax requirements with respect to the Option by electing to have the Company withhold sufficient Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant to meet the withholding tax requirements; provided that, to the extent Shares are withheld to satisfy taxes, the amount to be withheld may not exceed the total minimum statutory tax withholding obligations associated with the transaction to the extent needed for the Company and its Subsidiaries
to avoid an accounting charge until Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 applies to the Company, after which time the amount to be withheld may not exceed the total maximum statutory tax rates associated with the transaction. Such election shall be irrevocable, and shall be subject to disapproval, in whole or in part, by the Company. Such election shall be made according to such rules and regulations and in such form as the Company shall determine.
(c) Other Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award, if the
Company or any Affiliate is required to withhold any foreign, Federal, state or local taxes or other amounts in connection with the Award, then the Company may deduct (or require an Affiliate to
Terms for SAR- Share Options - 2012 Plan
deduct) such taxes or other amounts from any payments of any kind otherwise due the Participant to satisfy such tax obligations.
6. (a) Termination - General. In the event a Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its
Affiliates is terminated for any reason, except Retirement, death, Disability, Disposition of Assets (as defined below), Disposition of a Subsidiary (as defined below), Outsourcing Agreement (as defined below) or Cause, a Participant may exercise this Award (to the extent vested and exercisable as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment) for a period of ninety (90) days after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, but not later than the Award’s expiration date. Thereafter, all rights to exercise the Award shall terminate. Any portion of this Award that is not, or does not become, vested and exercisable as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall automatically be forfeited as of the date of such termination of employment.
(b) Termination for Retirement. If the Participant
ceases to be an employee of the Company or any Affiliate by reason of Retirement at a time when the participant’s employment could not have been terminated for Cause, then the Award (i) shall be exercisable in full without regard to any vesting requirements; provided that an Option of a Participant who Retires shall be exercisable in full only if the participant Retires on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and (ii) will remain exercisable until the Award’s expiration date.
(c) Termination for Death or Disability. If the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any Affiliate by reason of death or Disability at a time when the Participant
could not be terminated for Cause, then the Award shall become exercisable in full without regard to any vesting requirements, and may be exercised by the Participant at any time within three (3) years after the date of such termination, but not later than the Award’s expiration date. In the case of the Participant’s death, the Award may be exercised by the person to whom the Award is transferred by will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution. In the event of the death of a Participant who has had a Retirement or ceased to be an employee by reason of Disability, the Award may be exercised by the person to whom the Option is transferred, by will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution, as if the Participant had remained living under Section 6(b) or this Section 6(c), as applicable.
(d) Divestiture or Outsourcing. If
the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates as a result of a Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement (each as defined below) at a time when the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause, then the Award shall become exercisable with respect to a pro rata portion of the Award and will remain exercisable (to the extent vested upon the Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement) until the earlier of three (3) years after the date of such Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement and the Award’s expiration date. The pro rata portion of the Award that shall vest upon termination shall be calculated as follows: (i) the total number of Options or SARs subject to this Award multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which equals the total number
of full months that the Participant was employed during the Award’s original vesting period and the denominator of which equals the total number of months in the Award’s original vesting period, less (iii) the number of Options or SARs that previously vested in the normal course as of the Participant’s last day of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall not be eligible for such pro rata vesting if (i) the Participant’s termination of employment occurs on or prior to the closing date of such Disposition of Assets or Disposition of a Subsidiary, as applicable, or on such later date as is specifically provided in the applicable transaction agreement or related agreements, or on the effective date of such Outsourcing Agreement applicable to the Participant (the “Applicable Employment Date”), and (ii) the Participant is offered Comparable Employment (as defined below) with the buyer, successor company or outsourcing agent, as applicable, but
does not commence such employment on the Applicable Employment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any portion of this Award that is not, or does not become, vested and exercisable as of the date of the Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement
Terms for SAR- Share Options - 2012 Plan
shall automatically be forfeited as of the date of such Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement, as applicable.
For purposes of this Section 6(d), “Comparable Employment” shall mean employment (i) with base compensation and benefits (not including perquisites, allowances or long term incentive compensation) that, taken as whole,
is not materially reduced from that which is in effect immediately prior to the Participant’s termination of employment and (ii) that is at a geographic location no more than 50 miles from the Participant’s principal place of employment in effect immediately prior to the Participant’s termination of employment; “Disposition of Assets” shall mean the disposition by the Company or an Affiliate by which the Participant is employed of all or a portion of the assets used by the Company or Affiliate in a trade or business to an unrelated corporation or entity; “Disposition of a Subsidiary” shall mean the disposition by the Company or an Affiliate of its interest in a subsidiary or controlled entity to an unrelated
individual or entity (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes a spin-off or split-off or similar transaction), provided that such subsidiary or entity ceases to be controlled by the Company as a result of such disposition; and “Outsourcing Agreement” shall mean a written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and an unrelated third party (“Outsourcing Agent”) pursuant to which (i) the Company transfers the performance of services previously performed by employees of the Company or Affiliate to the Outsourcing Agent, and (ii) the Outsourcing Agent is obligated to offer employment to any employee whose employment
is being terminated as a result of or in connection with said Outsourcing Agreement.
(e) Termination for Cause. If the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates is terminated for Cause, then such termination shall cause the immediate cancellation and forfeiture of any Award, regardless of vesting; and any pending exercises shall be cancelled on the date of termination.
7. Inimical Conduct. If the Committee determines at any time that a Participant has engaged in Inimical Conduct, whether before or after termination of employment, the Award
shall be cancelled, regardless of vesting; and any pending exercises shall be cancelled on that date. In addition, the Committee or the Company may suspend any exercise of the Option or SAR pending the determination of whether the Participant has engaged in Inimical Conduct.
8. Rights as Shareholder. The Participant shall not be deemed for any purposes to be a shareholder of the Company with respect to any shares which may be acquired hereunder except to the extent that the Option shall have been exercised with respect thereto and Shares issued therefor.
9. No
Reinstatement of Award. After this Award or any portion thereof expires, is cancelled or otherwise terminates for any reason, the Award or such portion shall not be reinstated, extended or otherwise continued.
10. Transferability. This Award shall not be transferable (without the Committee’s consent) other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Following any permitted transfer, the Award shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer, provided that the Award may be exercised during the life of the Participant only by the Participant or, if applicable, by the Participant’s permitted transferees.
11. Securities Compliance. The
Participant agrees for himself/herself and the Participant's heirs, legatees, and legal representatives, with respect to all Shares acquired pursuant to this Award (or any Shares issued pursuant to a share dividend or share split thereon or any securities issued in lieu of or in substitution or exchange for such Shares) that the Participant and the Participant's heirs, legatees, and legal representatives will not sell or otherwise dispose of such shares except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or except in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, is exempt from registration under such act.
12. No Restrictions on Certain Actions. The existence of the Award shall not
affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business,
Terms for SAR- Share Options - 2012 Plan
or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred, or prior preference shares ahead of or affecting the Shares or the rights thereof, or dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
13. Award Not Part of Normal Compensation. Neither the Award nor any benefit accruing to the Participant from the Award will be considered to be part of the Participant’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments. In no event may the Award or any benefit accruing to the Participant from the Award be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the
Company or any Affiliate. In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company or any Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by acknowledging the grant, the Participant shall have been deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim.
14. Electronic
Communications. The Company or its Affiliates may, in its or their sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan or related to this Award by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. The Participant hereby agrees that all on-line acknowledgements shall have the same force and effect as a written signature.
15. Governing
Law; Arbitration. This Award, and the interpretation of this Award Agreement, shall be governed by (a) the internal laws of Ireland (without reference to conflict of law principles thereof that would direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction) with respect to the validity and authorization of any Shares issued under this Award, and (b) the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin (without reference to conflict of law principles thereof that would direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction) with respect to all other matters. Arbitration will be conducted per the provisions in the Plan.
16. Data Privacy and Sharing. As a condition of the granting of the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that it is necessary for some of the Participant’s personal identifiable information
to be provided to certain employees of the Company and the Company’s Option/SAR execution service provider and the Company’s designated third party broker in the United States. These transfers will be made pursuant to a contract that requires the service provider to provide adequate levels of protection for data privacy and security interests in accordance with the EU Data Privacy Directive 95/46 EC and the implementing legislation of the Participant’s home country (or any successor or superseding regulation). By acknowledging the Award, the Participant acknowledges having been informed of the processing of the Participant’s
personal identifiable information described in the preceding paragraph and consents to the Company collecting and transferring to the Company's Shareholder Services Department, and its independent service provider and third party broker, the Participant’s personal data that are necessary to administer the Award and the Plan. The Participant understands that his or her personal information may be transferred, processed and stored outside of the Participant’s home country in a country that may not have the same data protection laws as his or her home country, for the purposes mentioned in this Award.
17. Restrictive Covenants. In consideration for the Participant’s
opportunity to earn the benefits provided in this Award Agreement, Participant agrees to be bound by the restrictive covenants in Attachment A. For the sake of clarity, by accepting this Award, Participant agrees to be bound by such restrictive covenants even if Participant ultimately forfeits this Award or otherwise fails to receive any benefits under this Award Agreement.
This Award, the Award Notice and any other documents expressly referenced in this Award contain all of the provisions applicable to the Award and no other statements, documents or practices may modify,
Terms for SAR- Share Options - 2012 Plan
waive or alter such provisions unless expressly set forth in writing,
signed by an authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Participant.
Failure of the Participant to affirmatively ACKNOWLEDGE or reject this Award within the sixty (60) day period following the Grant Date will result in the Participant’s IMMEDIATE AND AUTOMATIC acceptance of this Award and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.
The Company has caused this Award to be executed by one of its authorized officers
as of the Grant Date.
In consideration for the Participant’s opportunity to earn the benefits provided in this Award Agreement (regardless of whether benefits under this Award Agreement are actually realized by the Participant), and except as prohibited by law, the Participant agrees as follows:
1. Non-Competition. Participant
agrees that during his or her employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, and for the period of one (1) year following the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason, or such longer period of non-competition as is included in any offer letter or any other agreement between Participant and the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Participant will not directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control (including indirectly through a debt, equity investment, or otherwise), provide services to, or be employed by, any person or entity engaged in any business that (i) conducts or is planning to conduct

and for the period of one (1) year following the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason, or such longer period of non-solicitation as is included in any offer letter or any other agreement between Participant and the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of another (i) solicit, aid or induce any customer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that Participant was responsible for, including supervised, managed or directed by Participant, to purchase goods or services then sold by the
Company or its Subsidiaries from another person or entity, or assist or aid any other person or entity in identifying or soliciting any such customer, or (ii) solicit, aid or induce any customer that was pursued by the Company and with which Participant had contact, participated in the contact, or about which Participant had knowledge of Confidential Information by reason of Participant’s relationship with the Company within the twenty-four (24) month period preceding Participant’s termination if that sale or service would be located in a region with respect to which the Participant had substantial responsibilities while employed by the

The DTSA provides: An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to any attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation or law; or (b) is made in a complaint
or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

administrative techniques and documents; and any information received by the Company under an obligation of confidentiality to a third party.
5. Non-Disparagement. Each of the Participant and the Company and its Subsidiaries (for purposes hereof, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall mean only the officers and directors thereof and not any other employees) agrees not to make any statements that disparage the other party, or in the case of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, their respective Subsidiaries, employees, officers, directors, products or services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, statements made in the course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings (including, without

4.
Termination of Employment
– Risk of Forfeiture.
a.
Retirement. If the Participant terminates employment from the Company and its Affiliates due to Retirement on or after the first anniversary of the date on which this Award is granted, and at a time when the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause, then any remaining Restriction Period shall continue as if the Participant continued in active employment. If the Participant engages in Inimical Conduct after his Retirement, as determined by the Committee, any Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units still subject to a Restriction
Period shall automatically be forfeited as of the date of the Committee’s determination.
b.
Death. If the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates because of death at a time when the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause, then, effective as of the date the Company determines the Participant’s employment terminated due to death (provided such determination is made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which death occurs), the Participant
shall become fully vested in all of the Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units subject to this Award and any remaining Restriction Period shall automatically lapse.
c.
Disability. If the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates because of Disability at a time when the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause, then the Participant shall become fully vested in all of the Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units subject to this Award and any remaining Restriction Period shall automatically lapse as of the date of such termination of employment.
d.
Divestiture or Outsourcing. If the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates as a result of a Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement (each as defined below), at a time when the Participant could not
have been terminated for Cause, then the Participant shall become vested in a pro rata portion of the total number of Restricted Shares or Restricted Share
Units subject to this Award. Such pro rata portion that shall vest upon termination shall be calculated as follows: (i) the total number of Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units granted under this Award multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which equals the total number of full months that the Participant was employed during the Restriction Period and the denominator of which equals the total number of months in the Restriction Period, less (iii) any Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units that previously vested in the normal course as of the Participant’s last day of employment; provided that, if such termination of employment does not constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then any remaining Restriction Period shall continue with respect to the vested Shares or Restricted Share Units as if the Participant continued in active employment to the extent required for compliance with Code Section 409A. Any
Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units subject to this Award that do not become vested under this paragraph as a result of such Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement shall automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company as of the date of the Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or Outsourcing Agreement, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall not be eligible for such pro rata vesting if (i) the Participant’s termination of employment occurs on or prior to the closing date of such Disposition of Assets or Disposition of a Subsidiary, as applicable, or on such later date as is specifically provided in the applicable transaction agreement or related agreements, or on the effective date of such Outsourcing Agreement applicable to the Participant (the “Applicable Employment Date”), and (ii)
the Participant is offered Comparable Employment (as defined below) with the buyer, successor company or outsourcing agent, as applicable, but does not commence such employment on the Applicable Employment Date.
For purposes of this Section 4(d), “Comparable Employment” shall mean employment (i) with base compensation and benefits (not including perquisites, allowances or long term incentive compensation) that, taken as whole, is not materially reduced from that which is in effect immediately prior to the Participant’s termination of employment and (ii) that is at a geographic location no more than 50 miles from the Participant’s principal place of employment in effect immediately prior to the Participant’s termination of employment; “Disposition of Assets” shall mean the disposition by the Company or an Affiliate by which the
Participant is employed of all or a portion of the assets used by the Company or Affiliate in a trade or business to an unrelated corporation or entity; “Disposition of a Subsidiary” shall mean the disposition by the Company or an Affiliate of its interest in a subsidiary or controlled entity to an unrelated individual or entity (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes a spin-off or split-off or similar transaction), provided that such subsidiary or entity ceases to be controlled by the Company as a result of such disposition; and “Outsourcing Agreement” shall mean a written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate
and an unrelated third party (“Outsourcing Agent”) pursuant to which (i) the Company transfers the performance of services previously performed by employees of the Company or Affiliate to the Outsourcing Agent, and (ii) the Outsourcing Agent is obligated to offer employment to any employee whose employment is being terminated as a result of or in connection with said Outsourcing Agreement.
e.
Other Termination. If the Participant’s employment terminates for any reason not described above (including for Cause), then any Restricted Shares or any Restricted Share Units
(and all deferred dividends paid or credited thereon) still subject to the Restriction Period as of the date of such termination shall automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company. In the event of the Participant’s involuntary termination of employment by the Company or an Affiliate for other than Cause, the Committee may waive the automatic forfeiture of any or all such Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units (and all deferred dividends or other distribution paid or credited thereon) and may add such new restrictions to such Restricted
Shares or Restricted Share Units as it deems appropriate. The
Company may suspend payment or delivery of Shares (without liability for interest thereon) pending the Committee’s determination of whether the Participant was or should have been terminated for Cause.
5.
Withholding. The Participant agrees to remit to the Company any foreign, Federal, state and/or local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA tax obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to the issuance of Shares under this Award, the vesting of this Award or the payment of cash under this Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award, if the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company is required to withhold any Federal, state or local taxes or other amounts in connection with the Award, then the Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company, in cash, promptly on demand, amounts sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment to the Company of the aggregate amount of any such taxes and other amounts. Alternatively, the Company
can withhold Shares no longer restricted, or can withhold from cash or property, including cash or Shares under this Award, payable or issuable to the Participant, in the amount needed to satisfy any withholding obligations; provided that, to the extent Shares are withheld to satisfy taxes, the amount to be withheld may not exceed the total maximum statutory tax withholding obligations associated with the transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Participant who is a Reporting Person, if the payment hereunder is to be made in the form of Shares, then any withholding obligations shall be satisfied by the Company withholding Shares otherwise issuable under this Award unless the Committee approves an alternative method by which the Participant shall pay such withholding taxes.
6.
No
Claim for Forfeiture. Neither the Award nor any benefit accruing to the Participant from the Award will be considered to be part of the Participant’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments. In no event may the Award or any benefit accruing to the Participant from the Award be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Affiliate. In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment by the
Company or any Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by acknowledging the grant, the Participant shall have been deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim.
7.
Electronic Delivery. The Company or its Affiliates
may, in its or their sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan or related to this Award by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. The Participant hereby agrees that all on-line acknowledgements shall have the same force and effect as a written signature.
8.
Securities
Compliance. The Company may place a legend or legends upon the certificates for Shares issued under the Plan and may issue “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent in respect of such Shares as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to (a) prevent a violation of, or to obtain an exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, applicable state securities laws or other legal requirements, or (b) implement the provisions of the Plan, this Award or any other agreement between the Company and the Participant with respect to such Shares.
9.
Successors. All
obligations of the Company under this Award shall be binding on any successor to the Company. The terms of this Award and the Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Participant, and his or her heirs, executors, administrators or legal representatives.
10.
Legal Compliance. The granting of this Award and the issuance of Shares under this Award shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
11.
Governing Law; Arbitration. This Award, and the interpretation of this Award Agreement, shall be governed by (a) the internal laws of Ireland (without reference to conflict of law principles thereof that would direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction) with respect to the validity and authorization of any Shares issued under this Award, and (b) the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin (without reference to conflict of law principles thereof that would direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction) with respect
to all other matters. Arbitration will be conducted per the provisions in the Plan.
12.
Data Privacy and Sharing. As a condition of the granting of the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that it is necessary for some of the Participant’s personal identifiable information to be provided to certain employees of the Company, the third party data processor that administers the Plan and the Company’s designated third party broker in the United States. These transfers will be made pursuant to a contract
that requires the processor to provide adequate levels of protection for data privacy and security interests in accordance with the EU Data Privacy Directive 95/46 EC and the implementing legislation of the Participant’s home country (or any successor or superseding regulation). By acknowledging the Award, the Participant acknowledges having been informed of the processing of the Participant’s personal identifiable information described in the preceding paragraph and consents to the Company collecting and transferring to the Company's Shareholder Services Department, and its independent benefit plan administrator and third party broker, the Participant’s personal data that are necessary to administer the Award and the Plan. The Participant understands that his or her personal information may be transferred,
processed and stored outside of the Participant’s home country in a country that may not have the same data protection laws as his or her home country, for the purposes mentioned in this Award.
13.
Restrictive Covenants. In consideration for the Participant’s opportunity to earn the benefits provided in this Award Agreement, Participant agrees to be bound by the restrictive covenants in Attachment A. For the sake of clarity, by accepting this Award, Participant agrees to be bound by such restrictive covenants even if Participant ultimately forfeits this Award or otherwise fails to receive any benefits under this Award Agreement.
This
Award, the Award Notice and any other documents expressly referenced in this Award contain all of the provisions applicable to the Award and no other statements, documents or practices may modify, waive or alter such provisions unless expressly set forth in writing, signed by an authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Participant.
Failure of the Participant to affirmatively ACKNOWLEDGE or reject this Award within the sixty (60) day period following the date of grant will result in the Participant’s IMMEDIATE AND AUTOMATIC acceptance of this Award and the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, including the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions contained herein.
