RSU AWARD
2.1
RSU Award.
(a)
Award. The Company hereby grants to Participant the number of RSUs set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this RSU Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan. Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share. Participant is a Service Provider. Prior to actual issuance of any Shares, the Award represents an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company.
(b)
Vesting. The RSUs shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, Participant will have no right to any distribution with respect to such RSUs. In the event Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason prior to the vesting of all of the RSUs, any unvested RSUs will terminate automatically without any further action by the Company and be forfeited without further notice and at no cost to the Company. For purposes of this RSU Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to cease to be a Service Provider on the date on which Participant ceases to actively provide services, which shall not be extended by any notice period, whether mandated or implied under local law during which Participant is not actually employed (e.g., garden leave or similar leave) or during or for which Participant receives pay in lieu of notice or severance pay, unless otherwise required by applicable law or agreed to in writing by the Company. The Company shall have the sole discretion to determine when Participant is no longer a Service Provider for purposes of the Award without reference to any other agreement, written or oral, including Participant’s contract of employment, if applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to applicable law, during any authorized leave of absence, the vesting of RSUs provided in the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall be suspended (to the extent permitted under Section 409A) after the leave of absence exceeds a period of twelve (12) months and shall be extended by the length of the suspension. Vesting of the RSUs shall resume upon Participant’s termination of the leave of absence and return to service to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. An authorized leave of absence shall include sick leave, military leave or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company (or, if the Participant is an executive officer, by the Administrator).

(c)
Distribution of Stock.
(i)
Shares shall be distributed to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to Participant’s estate) with respect to such Participant’s vested RSUs granted to Participant pursuant to this RSU Agreement, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and this RSU Agreement, within thirty (30) days following each vesting date as the RSUs vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice.
(ii)
All distributions shall be made by the Company in the form of whole Shares.
(d)
Generally. Shares issued under the Award shall be issued to Participant or Participant’s beneficiaries, as the case may be, at the sole discretion of the Administrator, in either (i) uncertificated form, with the Shares recorded in the name of Participant in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent with appropriate notations regarding the restrictions on transfer imposed pursuant to this RSU Agreement; or (ii) certificate form.
2.2
Tax Indemnity; Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this RSU Agreement:
(a)
Participant agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company, any Subsidiary and Participant’s employing company, if different, and their affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) from and against any liability for or obligation to pay, withhold, collect, or account for any federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes, employment taxes, social insurance, social security, national insurance contributions, other contributions, payroll taxes, levies, payment on account obligations or other amounts (“Tax Related Items”) that are attributable to the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the sale or disposal of any Shares issued pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or otherwise pursuant to this RSU Agreement. No Shares shall be issued or delivered to Participant or Participant’s legal representative unless and until Participant or Participant’s legal representative shall have paid to the Company the full amount of any Tax Withholding Liability (as defined below). Participant acknowledges that regardless of any action any member of the Company Group takes, the ultimate liability for any Tax Related Items related to the RSUs is and remains Participant’s responsibility and that the Company Group (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, and the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at settlement; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for any Tax Related Items. Further, if Participant is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company Group (or former member of the Company Group, as applicable) may be required to withhold, collect or account for Tax Withholding Liability (if any) in more than one jurisdiction.

(b)
The Company Group shall be entitled to satisfy any applicable Tax Withholding Liability according to the requirements under applicable laws, rules and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Until such time as the Company determines otherwise, the Company shall satisfy the Company Group’s Tax Withholding Liability by withholding a number of vested Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the RSUs based on the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates (or such higher rate as determined by the Administrator), provided that such Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Share. If Shares are withheld to cover the obligations for Tax Withholding Liability, then for tax purposes Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares with respect to the related RSUs notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back for purposes of paying any Tax Withholding Liability.
(c)
For purposes of this RSU Agreement, “Tax Withholding Liability” shall mean any Tax Related Item that the Company Group is required to withhold, collect or account for that may arise as a result of (w) the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSU, (x) the issuance to Participant of Shares on the vesting or settlement of the RSU, (y) the disposition of any Shares that were the subject of the RSU, or (z) any other transactions contemplated by this RSU Agreement.
2.3
Conditions to Issuance of Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for any Shares prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of the Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Shares are then listed, (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state, federal or foreign law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary and advisable, (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state, federal or foreign governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, (d) the lapse of any such reasonable period of time following the date the RSUs vest as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience, and (e) Participant’s satisfaction of Participant’s obligations under Section 2.2.

(c)
The Plan shall not form part of any contract of employment between the Company Group and Participant, and neither the grant of RSUs nor any provision of this RSU Agreement, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon Participant any right with respect to employment or service or continuation of current employment or service and shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate;
(d)
Unless expressly so provided in Participant’s contract of employment, Participant has no right or entitlement to be granted an Award or any expectation that an Award might be made to Participant, whether subject to any conditions or at all;

The benefit to Participant of participation in the Plan (including, in particular but not by way of limitation, any Awards held by Participant) shall not form any part of Participant’s remuneration or count as Participant’s remuneration for any purpose and shall not be pensionable;
(f)
The rights or opportunity granted to Participant on the making of an Award shall not give Participant any rights or additional rights, and if Participant ceases to be employed by the Company Group, Participant shall not be entitled to compensation for the loss of any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under the Plan (including, in particular but not by way of limitation, any Awards held by Participant which lapse by reason of his ceasing to be employed by the Company Group) whether by way of damages for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, breach of contract or otherwise;
(g)
The rights or opportunity granted to Participant on the making of an Award shall not give Participant any rights or additional rights in respect of any pension scheme operated by the Company Group;

The value of the Award is outside the scope of Participant’s employment contract, if any;

Participant shall have no rights, claim or entitlement to compensation or damages as a result of Participant’s cessation of employment or service for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of contract or local labor law, insofar as these rights, claim or entitlement arise or may arise from Participant’s ceasing to have rights under the RSUs as a result of such cessation or loss or diminution in value of the RSUs or any of the Shares issuable under the RSUs as a result of such cessation, and Participant irrevocably releases the Company Group from any such rights, entitlement or claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such right or claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing the RSU Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived Participant’s entitlement to pursue such rights or claim; and

Settlement of RSUs and Sale of Shares. The following provisions supplement Sections 2.1(c) and 2.2 of the RSU Agreement and supersede such provisions to the extent inconsistent with the following:

 

Notwithstanding Section 2.1(c) of the RSU Agreement, the Company may settle vested RSUs in cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share for each vested RSU, as determined by the Administrator, in which case Participant shall have no right to any Shares under the RSUs. Any such cash payment shall be made by Participant’s local employer, less any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other Tax-Related Items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan.

 

If the Administrator settles vested RSUs in the form of Shares, such settlement will be conditioned upon the Company securing all necessary approvals from the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) and the requirements of such approval. Participant understands that Participant may be required to sell such Shares immediately upon vesting or within a specified period following termination of employment and will be required to hold such Shares with the Company’s designated brokerage firm until the Shares are sold. Further, Participant understands that Participant may be required to immediately repatriate to China proceeds from the sale of any Shares acquired under the Plan (and any dividends) and there may be delays in distributing the funds to Participant due to exchange control requirements in China. Participant understands that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with any mandatory sale of such Shares (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) and Participant expressly authorizes the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such Shares. Participant acknowledges that the Company’s designated broker will be under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the Shares at any particular price. The remittance, conversion and payment of the proceeds shall be made in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Company in order to comply with SAFE regulations and accordingly, may be subject to change from time to time. If the proceeds are paid in local currency, Participant acknowledges that the Company will be under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate. Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the net proceeds are distributed to Participant. Participant further agrees to comply with all requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future with respect to the RSUs and issuance of Shares to facilitate compliance with applicable law and regulations in China.
