First Name Last Name

Dear First Name:

I am pleased to inform you that as an SLT member, you are receiving a performance stock units (PSUs) award in 2024. We use these awards to reward performers who we believe will be key contributors to our growth well into the future. The total Award Date Value (ADV) of your awards is approximately USD $xx,xxx.

We are awarding you xxx PSUs. The number of PSUs actually earned will be dependent upon Stryker’s financial performance during the three-year period ending December 31, 2026. Refer to the Terms and Conditions accompanying the 2024 PSUs award for specific criteria associated with vesting in such award. In order to earn any of the PSUs, you must be continuously employed with Stryker through the vesting date of March 21, 2027 except as otherwise provided in the Terms and Conditions.

You must “Accept” the award online via the UBS One Source web site located at www.ubs.com/onesource/SYK between March 1 and March 31, 2024. The detailed terms of the PSUs are in the Terms and Conditions, any applicable country addendum and the provisions of the Company's 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated. Those documents, together with the related Prospectus, are available on the UBS One Source web site, and you should read them before accepting the awards. In addition, you may be asked to sign the most recent version of Stryker’s Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (“Non-Compete Agreement”) in connection with the award. If you are asked to sign the Non-Compete Agreement, it will be emailed to you and you will be asked to sign the document electronically via Adobe Sign by March 31, 2024. The exercisability of the options and vesting of the PSUs is conditioned on you having signed the Non-Compete Agreement by March 31, 2024, where permitted by applicable law.

You can find additional educational materials on the UBS One Source web site in the Resources section.

Your contributions helped us deliver record breaking results in 2023, including surpassing $20B in sales for the first time in our history. With your help, I look forward to our continued business growth and success.

Sincerely,

STRYKER CORPORATION
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RELATING TO PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS GRANTED
PURSUANT TO THE 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED
1.The Performance Stock Units with respect to Common Stock of Stryker Corporation (the "Company") granted to you during 2024 (the "PSUs") are subject to these Terms and Conditions Relating to Performance Stock Units Granted Pursuant to the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the "Terms and Conditions") and all of the terms and conditions of the Stryker Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the "2011 Plan"), which is incorporated herein by reference. In the case of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the 2011 Plan, the provisions of the 2011 Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning provided therefor in the 2011 Plan. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, "Employer" means the Company or any Subsidiary that employs you on the applicable date, and "Stock Plan Administrator" means UBS Financial Services Inc. (or any other independent service provider engaged by the Company to assist with the implementation, operation and administration of the 2011 Plan).
2.Vesting. Except as provided in Section 8(a) and 8(b), the vesting of your PSUs is dependent upon your remaining continuously employed with your Employer through March 21, 2027 (the "Vesting Date") as well as upon the Company's financial performance during the three-year period ending December 31, 2026 (the "Performance Period"). Specifically, the vesting of any of the PSUs is dependent upon attainment of the Threshold Performance Target as set forth in Section 3. If the Threshold Performance Target is attained, then the vesting of 50% of the PSUs (the "EPS PSUs") is dependent on Adjusted EPS Growth as set forth in Section 4, and vesting of the remaining 50% of the PSUs (the "Sales Growth PSUs") is dependent on the Sales Growth Percentile Ranking as set forth in Section 5. The actual number of your PSUs that become vested, if any, shall be determined based on exercise of negative discretion by the Committee in accordance with Sections 4, 5 and 6 below.
3.Threshold Performance Target. If the Company's Adjusted EPS Growth as of the last day of the Performance Period is less than 2.0%, none of your PSUs shall become vested and all of your PSUs shall be forfeited as of the last day of the Performance Period. If the Company's Adjusted EPS Growth as of the last day of the Performance Period is 2.0% or greater (the "Threshold Performance Target") and, except as provided in Section 8(a) and 8(b), you remain in the continuous employment of Stryker through the Vesting Date, you shall become eligible to vest in up to 200% of your PSUs, although the actual number of your PSUs that become vested shall be determined based on exercise of negative discretion by the Committee in accordance with Sections 4, 5 and 6 below.
4.Adjusted EPS Growth.
(a)If the Threshold Performance Target is attained and, except as provided in Section 8(a) and 8(b), you have remained in the continuous employment of Stryker through the Vesting Date, then subject to Section 6 you shall become vested in the percentage of the EPS PSUs determined based on the Company's Adjusted EPS Growth using the table below, applying straight line interpolation rounded down to the nearest whole number of EPS PSUs for Adjusted EPS Growth resulting in vested EPS PSUs between 50% and 100% or between 100% and 200%.

(iii)"Annual Percentage Change in Adjusted EPS" for a calendar year shall mean the amount by which the Adjusted EPS for such calendar year has increased or decreased relative to the immediately preceding calendar year, expressed as a positive or negative percentage (depending on whether Adjusted EPS increased or decreased) of the Adjusted EPS for such preceding calendar year.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee shall have discretion to make such adjustments to the foregoing metrics as it deems appropriate to reflect the impact of corporate transactions, accounting or tax law changes or extraordinary, unusual, nonrecurring or infrequent items; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the Threshold Performance Target in Section 3, in no case shall such adjustments have the net aggregate effect of increasing Adjusted EPS Growth.
5.Sales Growth Percentile Ranking.
(a)If the Threshold Performance Target is attained and, except as provided in Section 8(a) and 8(b), you have remained in the continuous employment of Stryker through the Vesting Date, then subject to Section 6 you shall become vested in the percentage of the Sales Growth PSUs based upon the Company's Sales Growth Percentile Ranking, as determined using the table below, applying straight line interpolation rounded down to the nearest whole number of Sales Growth PSUs for Sales Growth Percentile Ranking resulting in vested Sales Growth PSUs between 50% and 100% or between 100% and 200%.

Any Sales Growth PSUs that do not become vested in accordance with the foregoing shall be forfeited, and if the Company's Average Sales Growth in the Performance Period is equal to or less than zero, all of the Sales Growth PSUs shall be forfeited (irrespective of the Sales Growth Percentile Ranking).
(b)As soon as administratively practicable following the Vesting Date (but in no event later than December 31, 2027), the Company shall issue you the Shares underlying the vested Sales Growth PSUs.

Boston Scientific Corporation
Danaher Corporation

For purposes of the foregoing, any company for which Sales Growth cannot be calculated for three full annual Reporting Periods ending within the Performance Period shall be excluded.
(iii) "Net Sales" shall mean, for the Company and each company in the Comparison Group, net sales as publicly reported for the applicable Reporting Period.
(iv) "Reporting Period" shall mean a calendar year in the case of the Company and each company in the Comparison Group that reports on a calendar year basis, and in the case of any other company in the Comparison Group, the four fiscal quarters that include the last fiscal quarter ending prior to December 31 for which such company has publicly reported prior to the following February 28.

(vi) "Sales Growth Percentile Ranking" shall mean the percentile ranking of the Company's Average Sales Growth relative to the Average Sales Growth for each company in the Comparison Group, rounded to the whole nearest percentile. For this purpose, the percentile ranking shall be calculated as 1 – (Rank-1)/(Total of the Comparison Group plus the Company-1). For example, if the Company ranked 5th out of 19 companies including itself, the percentile rank would be calculated as 1 – (5-1)/(19-1) or 1 – (4/18) or 1-0.22 or the 78th percentile.
(d) The Committee may make such revisions and adjustments to each of the items set forth in Sections 5(c)(i)-(vi) as it may determine necessary and appropriate in its discretion.
6. Discretion of the Committee. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms or Conditions or the 2011 Plan to the contrary, provided that the Threshold Performance Target has been attained, the Committee shall have the power and authority, in its sole and absolute exercise of negative discretion, to reduce or increase the vested PSUs such that the actual earned PSUs will be greater than or less than the vested PSUs, which increase or reduction may be made by taking into account any criteria the Committee deems appropriate; provided further that notwithstanding anything in these Terms or Conditions to the contrary you shall not become vested in more than 200% of your PSUs.
7.Dividend Equivalents. In connection with your PSUs, you shall be entitled to receive all of the cash dividends for which the record date occurs during the period between the commencement of the Performance Period and the Vesting Date with respect to each Share underlying your vested PSUs ("Dividend Equivalents"). Dividend Equivalents shall be converted into their equivalent number of additional PSUs rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Vesting Date, provided, that the maximum number of additional PSUs you may receive upon such conversion shall be equal to 200% of your originally granted PSUs. Such additional PSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the PSUs to which the Dividend


Exhibit 10(iii)
Equivalents relate, including, without limitation, the vesting, forfeiture, and payment form and timing provisions contained herein.
8.In the event you cease to remain in the continuous employment of the Company or a Subsidiary for the entire period commencing on the grant date and ending on the applicable Vesting Date, your right to receive the Shares issuable pursuant to the PSUs shall be only as follows:
(a)Subject to Section 6, if you cease to be an Employee prior to the Vesting Date by reason of Disability (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan) or death, you or your estate will become vested in full on the Vesting Date in your PSUs based upon the Company's Adjusted EPS Growth and Sales Growth Percentile Ranking for the Performance Period as determined pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 of these Terms and Conditions. You, your legal representative or your estate will receive all of the underlying Shares attributable to the vested PSUs as soon as administratively practicable following (and in no event more than ninety (90) days after) the Vesting Date.
(b)If you cease to be an Employee prior to the Vesting Date by reason of Retirement (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan), you will become vested in your PSUs as follows:
(i)If you meet both the terms of Retirement (as such term is defined in the 2011 LTIP) and you have been an Employee for at least 12 months following the grant date of your PSUs, then you will become vested in full on the Vesting Date in your PSUs, based upon the Company's Adjusted EPS Growth and Sales Growth Percentile Ranking for the Performance Period as determined pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 of these Terms and Conditions.
(ii)If you meet the terms of Retirement (as such term is defined in the 2011 LTIP) but you are not an Employee for at least 12 months following the grant date of your PSUs, then you will become vested on the Vesting Date in a pro-rata portion (determined by dividing (a) the number of days during the Performance Period in which you were an Employee by (b) the total number of days during the Performance Period) of your PSUs based upon the Company’s Adjusted EPS Growth and Sales Growth Percentile Ranking for the Performance Period as determined pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 of these Terms and Conditions.
(c)If you cease to be an Employee for any reason other than those provided in (a) and (b) above and your Termination Date is prior to the Vesting Date, you shall immediately forfeit all PSUs granted hereunder effective as of your Termination Date. If you are resident or employed outside of the United States, "Termination Date" shall mean the last day on which you are an Employee of your Employer, provided that (1) your notice period is 12 months or less, or (2) your employment ends less than 12 months after the date on which you signed your termination agreement. If your notice period exceeds 12 months, then "Termination Date" will be 12 months after the date on which notice was given, whether it be by you or your Employer. If your employment ends more than 12 months after you signed your termination agreement, then “Termination Date” will be 12 months after the date on which you signed your termination agreement.
9.Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the PSUs (and any Dividend Equivalents) in the form of: (i) a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares (1) is prohibited under local law, (2) would require you, the Company and/or your Employer to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different), or (3) is administratively burdensome; or (ii) Shares, but require you to


Exhibit 10(iii)
immediately sell such Shares (in which case, the Company shall have the authority to issue sales instructions in relation to such Shares on your behalf).
10.The number of Shares subject to the PSUs shall be subject to adjustment and the vesting dates hereof may be accelerated as follows:
(a)In the event that the Shares, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, combination of shares, or otherwise) or if the number of such Shares shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend or a dividend on the Shares of rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be made, then there shall be substituted for or added to each Share theretofore subject to the PSUs the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding Share shall be so changed, or for which each such Share shall be exchanged, or to which each such Share shall be entitled. The other terms of the PSUs shall also be appropriately amended as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events. In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding Shares, or of any stock or other securities into which such Shares shall have been exchanged, then if the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the PSUs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.
(b)Fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment in the PSUs may be settled in cash or otherwise as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion. Notice of any adjustment will be given to you and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes hereof.
(c)The Committee shall have the power to amend the PSUs to permit the immediate vesting of the PSUs (and to terminate any unvested PSUs) and the distribution of the underlying Shares prior to the effectiveness of (i) any disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company or your Employer, (ii) the shutdown, discontinuance of operations or dissolution of the Company or your Employer, or (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company or your Employer with or into any other unrelated corporation.
11.If you are resident or employed outside of the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the PSUs, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the 2011 Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the PSUs) if required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, you also agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).
12.If you are resident and/or employed in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the PSUs and these Terms and Conditions are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the "Age Discrimination Rules"). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms and Conditions are invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power


Exhibit 10(iii)
and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.
13.Regardless of any action the Company and/or your Employer take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you are and remains your responsibility and that the Company and your Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PSUs, including the grant of the PSUs, the vesting of the PSUs, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the PSUs and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one country between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that your Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.
Prior to any taxable event, if your country of residence (and/or your country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company shall withhold a number of whole Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value that the Company, taking into account local requirements and administrative issues, determines in its sole discretion is appropriate to cover withholding for Tax-Related Items with respect to the Shares. The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items. In cases where the Fair Market Value of the number of whole Shares withheld is greater than the amount required to be paid to the relevant government authorities with respect to withholding for Tax-Related Items, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as administratively practicable. In the event that withholding in Shares is prohibited or problematic under applicable law or otherwise may trigger adverse consequences to the Company or your Employer, your Employer shall withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares in cash from your regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through your regular salary and/or wages or any other amounts payable to you by your Employer, no Shares will be issued to you (or your estate) unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Board of Directors) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company or your Employer determines, in its sole discretion, should be withheld or collected with respect to such PSUs. By accepting these PSUs, you expressly consent to the withholding of Shares and/or withholding from your regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the PSUs and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are your sole responsibility.
14.The PSUs are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The 2011 Plan and these Terms and Conditions shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that these Terms and Conditions are subject to Code Section 409A and that it has failed to comply with the requirements of that Section, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion and without your consent, amend these Terms and Conditions to cause them to comply with Code Section 409A or be exempt from Code Section 409A.
15.If you were required to sign the "Stryker Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement" or a similar agreement in order to receive the PSUs or have previously signed such an agreement and you breach any non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disclosure provision or provision as to ownership of inventions contained therein at any time while


Exhibit 10(iii)
employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, or during the one-year period following termination of employment, any unvested PSUs shall be rescinded and you shall return to the Company all Shares that were acquired upon vesting of the PSUs that you have not disposed of. Further, you shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the profit realized by you (if any) on all Shares that were acquired upon vesting of the PSUs that you have disposed of. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the profit shall be the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of disposition.
16.The PSUs shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If you shall purport to make any transfer of the PSUs, except as aforesaid, the PSUs and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately.
17.The PSUs shall not be vested in whole or in part, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares subject to the PSUs, if such issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. statute having similar requirements as it may be in effect at the time. The PSUs are subject to the further requirement that, if at any time the Board of Directors shall determine in its discretion that the listing or qualification of the Shares subject to the PSUs under any securities exchange requirements or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the issuance of Shares pursuant to the PSUs, the PSUs may not be vested in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of Directors.
18.The grant of the PSUs shall not confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of your Employer nor limit in any way the right of your Employer to terminate your employment at any time. You shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the vesting of the PSUs until the date of issuance of such Shares.
19.You acknowledge and agree that the 2011 Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of the PSUs under the 2011 Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of PSUs or any other award under the 2011 Plan or other benefits in lieu thereof in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares subject to the grant, and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the 2011 Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your employment with your Employer.
20.Your participation in the 2011 Plan is voluntary. The value of the PSUs and any other awards granted under the 2011 Plan is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of your employment (and your employment contract, if any). Any grant under the 2011 Plan, including the grant of the PSUs, is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments.
21.These Terms and Conditions shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and you and your estate in the event of your death.
22.The Company is located at 1941 Stryker Way, Portage, Michigan 49002, U.S.A. and grants PSUs under the 2011 Plan to employees of the Company and Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company's grant of the PSUs under the 2011 Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data


Exhibit 10(iii)
collection, processing and transfer practices ("Personal Data Activities"). In accepting the grant of the PSUs, you expressly and explicitly consent to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.
(a)The Company collects, processes and uses your personal data, including your name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all PSUs or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you or your Employer. In granting the PSUs under the 2011 Plan, the Company will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the 2011 Plan. The Company's legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of your personal data is your consent.
(b)The Company transfers your personal data to the Stock Plan Administrator. In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you, if an account is not already in place, to receive and trade Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the 2011 Plan.
(c)The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. You should note that your country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. The Company's legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is your consent.
(d)Your participation in the 2011 Plan and your grant of consent is purely voluntary. You may deny or withdraw your consent at any time. If you do not consent, or if you withdraw your consent, you may be unable to participate in the 2011 Plan. This would not affect your existing employment or salary; instead, you merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the 2011 Plan.
You may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country or residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data. To receive clarification regarding your rights or to exercise your rights, you should contact your local HR manager or the Company's Human Resources Department.
23.The grant of the PSUs is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing(s) with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law). No employee of the Company is permitted to advise you on whether you should acquire Shares under the 2011 Plan or provide you with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the PSUs. The acquisition of Shares involves certain risks, and you should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the 2011 Plan or the disposition of them. Further, you should carefully review all of the materials related to the PSUs and the 2011 Plan, and you should consult with your personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to your personal circumstances.
24.All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of the PSUs and the 2011 Plan shall be governed and construed according to the laws of the state of Michigan, without


Exhibit 10(iii)
regard to the application of the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any disputes regarding the PSUs or the 2011 Plan shall be brought only in the state or federal courts of the state of Michigan.
25.The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the PSUs or other awards granted to you under the 2011 Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the 2011 Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
26.The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the 2011 Plan or these Terms and Conditions shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the 2011 Plan or these Terms and Conditions.
27.If you are resident outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the PSUs be drawn up in English. If you have received these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan or any other documents related to the PSUs translated into a language other than English and the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
28.You acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker's country of residence or where the Shares are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., PSUs) or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times you are considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in your country of employment (and country of residence, if different). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a "need to know" basis) and (ii) "tipping" third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees.

The Company's collection, processing, use and transfer of your personal data is necessary for the performance of the Company's contractual obligations under the 2011 Plan and pursuant to the Company's legitimate interest of managing and generally administering employee equity awards.

You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the 2011 Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to you if your personal data is transferred to the United States.

(d)Data Retention. The Company will use your personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the 2011 Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws. When the Company no longer needs your personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps your data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company's legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.
(e)Data Subject Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data.

CANADA
1.Settlement in Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms and Conditions or the 2011 Plan, the PSUs shall be settled only in Shares (and may not be settled in cash).
2.Termination of Employment. The following supplements Section 8(cb) of the Terms and Conditions as well as any other section required to give effect to the same:
In the event of your termination of employment for any reason (other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement), either by you or by the Employer, with or without cause, your rights to vest or to continue to vest in the PSUs and receive Shares under the 2011 Plan, if any, will terminate as of the actual Termination Date. For this purpose, the "Termination Date" shall mean the last day on which you are actively employed by the Employer, and shall not include or be extended by any period following


Exhibit 10(iii)
such day during which you are in receipt of or eligible to receive any notice of termination, pay in lieu of notice of termination, severance pay or any other payments or damages, whether arising under statute, contract or at common law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable employment standards legislation explicitly requires continued entitlement to vesting during a statutory notice period, your right to vest in the PSUs under the 2011 Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the last day of your minimum statutory notice period, but you will not earn or be entitled to pro-rated vesting if the vesting date falls after the end of your statutory notice period, nor will you be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.
3.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Specified foreign property, including the PSUs, Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan, and other rights to receive shares of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident generally must be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, the unvested portion of the PSUs must be reported – generally at a nil cost – if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because you holds other specified foreign property. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB ordinarily will equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if you owns other Shares, the ACB may need to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. You should consult with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal foreign asset/foreign account tax obligations you may have in connection with your participation in the 2011 Plan.
BY SIGNING BELOW, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE 2011 PLAN, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THIS ADDENDUM.
