The Award shall not be vested as of the Award Date and shall be forfeitable unless and until otherwise vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

The provisions of Section 13 of the Plan relating to the restrictions on transfers of Restricted Stock Units, including all amendments, revisions and modifications thereto as may hereafter be adopted, are hereby incorporated in this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Unless and until the Forfeiture Restrictions have lapsed, the Restricted Stock Units shall be unvested and subject to forfeiture hereunder.
(c)
In the event Employee ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason including death and the Employee becoming disabled, the effect of such cessation upon the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined by reference to Schedule B of the Plan, which Schedule B is incorporated herein by this reference.
(d)
After the Award Date, the Restricted Stock Units will become 100% vested (referred to as “Vested Units”) on the fifth anniversary of the Award Date (the “Maturity Date”), provided that Employee remains continuously employed by the Company through such Maturity Date.
(e)

(g)
Neither the Award, nor any interest therein nor any shares of Jacobs Common Stock payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily.
3.Section 409A Compliance
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Plan and this Agreement shall be construed or deemed to be amended as necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to avoid the imposition of any additional or accelerated taxes or other penalties under Section 409A of the Code. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the requirements of Section 409A of the Code applicable to the Plan and this Agreement and shall interpret the terms of each consistently therewith. Under no circumstances, however, shall the Company have any liability under the Plan or this Agreement for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable pursuant to the Plan and/or this Agreement, including any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code.
4.
Status of Participant
Employee shall have no rights as a stockholder (including, without limitation, any voting rights or rights to receive dividends with respect to the shares of Jacobs Common Stock subject to the Award) with respect to either the Award granted hereunder or the shares of Jacobs Common Stock underlying the Award, unless and until such shares are issued in respect of Vested Units, and then only to the extent of such issued shares.
5.
Payment of Withholding Taxes
The payment of withholding taxes, if any, due upon the settlement of the Award may, at the discretion of the Committee, be satisfied by instructing the Company to withhold from the shares of Jacobs Common Stock otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Award that number of shares having a total Fair Market Value equal to the amount of income and withholding taxes due as determined by the Company. Under no circumstances can the Company be required to withhold from the shares of Jacobs Common Stock that would otherwise be delivered to Employee upon the settlement of the Award a number of shares having a total Fair Market Value that exceeds the amount of withholding taxes due as determined by the Company at the time the Award vests. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may delay the delivery of the shares of Jacobs Common Stock that would otherwise be delivered to Employee upon settlement of the Award until Employee has made arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligations of Employee.
