Common Stock), subject to the fulfillment of the vesting conditions set forth below and pursuant

Plan) (collectively, with the U.S. Plan, the Plan) (a copy of which has been provided to you).
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein are used with the same meanings as in the
Plan.

Restricted Stock Unit Award shall become vested as set forth below, provided Awardee remains
employed with Micro or any of its Affiliates through the Vesting Date:

Vesting Date | ||||
(Date that Restrictions | Vesting Period and/or | |||
Number Of Shares Awarded | Lapse) | Other Conditions | ||
Section 3. Time and Form of Payment. Subject to satisfaction of any Tax-Related Items
as provided for in Section 7 of this Award Agreement, any vested Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall
be paid by Micro in Shares (on a one-to-one basis) upon the Vesting Date, or, if the Restricted
Stock Unit Award vests on more than one date, upon the Vesting Dates stated above.
Section 4. Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Unit Award. This Restricted Stock
Unit Award shall not be transferable by Awardee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. The terms of this Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be binding on the executors,
administrators, heirs and successors of Awardee.
Section 5. Termination or Suspension of Employment or Service. The following
provisions shall apply in the event of Awardees termination of employment or service unless the
Committee shall have provided otherwise, either at the time of the grant of the Restricted Stock
Unit Award or thereafter.
(a) Termination of Employment or Service for Cause or upon a Voluntary Termination.
Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as required to comply with applicable
law, if Awardees employment or service with Micro or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause or if
Awardee voluntarily terminates employment (Voluntary Termination), the unvested Restricted Stock
Unit Award shall immediately be cancelled (forfeited) and Awardee shall not be entitled to receive
any payment thereunder.
(b) Termination of Employment or Service by Micro or its Affiliates in General.
Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as required to comply with applicable
law, if Awardees employment or service with Micro or an Affiliate is terminated for any reason
other than Voluntary Termination,
1
death, Disability or Cause, Awardees right to receive a payment under the Restricted Stock
Unit Award shall be reduced from 100% of the payment that would be due if the Awardee remained
employed throughout the Measurement and Vesting Periods to a fraction thereof whose numerator shall
be the number of full months elapsed from the beginning of the Measurement Period through the
Termination Date (as defined in Section 5(e) below) and whose denominator shall be 36; provided,
however that if the numerator is less than 12, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall immediately be
cancelled (forfeited) and Awardee shall not be entitled to receive any payment thereunder. The
payment will be made on each Vesting Date, as applicable, and shall be based on upon the results at
the end of the Measurement Period.
(c) Death. If Awardees employment or service with Micro or an Affiliate is
terminated by reason of death, his/her heirs are entitled to receive on each Vesting Date, as
applicable, a full payment under the Restricted Stock Unit Award to which he/she would be entitled
had he/she remained employed through the end of the Measurement and Vesting Periods with payout
based upon results at the end of the Measurement Period, provided Awardees heirs have requested
the issuance of the underlying Shares within six months of Awardees death. If Awardees heirs do
not request the issuance of the underlying Shares within six months of Awardees death, the
Restricted Stock Unit Award will be forfeited.
(d) Disability. If Awardees employment or service with Micro or an Affiliate is
terminated by reason of Disability (as defined in the French Plan), Awardees unvested Restricted
Stock Unit Award will immediately vest as of the effective date of such Awardees Disability.
(e) Effective Time of Termination. Except as the Committee may otherwise determine,
for purposes hereof, any termination of Awardees employment or service for any reason shall occur
on the date such Awardee ceases to perform services for Micro or an Affiliate (the Termination
Date) without regard to whether such Awardee continues thereafter to receive any compensatory
payments therefrom or is paid salary thereby in lieu of notice of termination. The Termination
Date will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment
would not include a period of garden leave or similar period pursuant to local law); Micro shall
have the exclusive discretion to determine the Termination Date for purposes of the Restricted
Stock Unit Award.
Section 6. Restrictions on Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Micro shall not be
obligated to issue any Shares pursuant to this Restricted Stock Unit Award unless the Shares are at
that time effectively registered or exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and unless the issuance is in compliance with all applicable local securities or other
laws.
The sale or transfer of the Shares issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Awards held by
the Awardee must not occur prior to the relevant anniversary of the Vesting Date specified by the
Committee and in no case prior to the second anniversary of each Vesting Date or such other period
as is required to comply with the minimum mandatory holding period applicable to shares underlying
French-qualified awards under Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, the French Tax
Code or the French Social Security Code, as amended. Notwithstanding the above, the Awardees
heirs, in case of the Awardees death, or the Awardee in case of the Awardees Disability (as
defined in the French Plan), are not subject to this restriction on the sale of Shares. In
addition, the underlying Shares cannot be sold during certain Closed Periods as provided for by
Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, so long as those Closed Periods are
applicable to shares underlying French-qualified awards, as interpreted by the French
administrative guideline, to the extent applicable. These restrictions apply even if the Awardee
is no longer an employee or a corporate officer of the French Entity.
If the Awardee qualifies as a managing director under French law (mandataires sociaux,
(i.e., Président du Conseil dAdministration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général Délégué, Membre
du Directoire, Gérant de Sociétés par actions)), the Awardee is required to hold 20% of the Shares
issued upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit Award in a nominative account under the
procedure implemented by Micro and not to sell or transfer the Shares until he or she ceases to
serve as a managing director, as long as this restriction is a requirement under French law and
unless law or regulations provide for a lower percentage (in which case these requirements apply to
the lower percentage of Shares held).

Section 7. Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action Micro or Awardees
employer (the Employer) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll
tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Awardees participation in the Plan
and legally applicable to Awardee or deemed by Micro or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to
Awardee even if technically due by Micro or the Employer (Tax-Related Items), Awardee
acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Awardees
responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Micro or the Employer. Awardee
further acknowledges that Micro and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted
Stock Unit Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted
Stock Unit Award, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, the
subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the receipt of
any dividends or other distributions, if any; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Unit Award to reduce or
eliminate Awardees liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further,
if Awardee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and
the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Awardee acknowledges that
Micro and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or
account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Awardee will pay or
make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Micro and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related
Items. In this regard, if permissible under local law, Awardee authorizes Micro and/or the
Employer, or their respective agents, at their sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as
they may specify from time to time, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all applicable
Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding from Awardees wages or
other cash compensation paid to Awardee by Micro and/or the Employer, within legal limits; (2)
withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit
Award, either through a voluntary sale or mandatory sale arranged by Micro (on Awardees behalf
pursuant to this authorization); or (3) withholding in Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted
Stock Unit Award. To avoid negative accounting treatment, Micro may withhold or account for
Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other
applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding
in Shares as described herein, for tax purposes, Awardee is deemed to have been issued the full
number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Unit Award, notwithstanding that a number
of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result
of any aspect of Awardees participation in the Plan.
Finally, Awardee will pay to Micro or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Micro
or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Awardees participation
in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Awardee acknowledges and
agrees that should the amount of withholding for Tax-Related Items be in excess of the actual tax
due, Micro and/or the Employer will refund the excess amount to him or her as soon as
administratively practicable and without any interest. Micro may refuse to issue or deliver the
Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Awardee fails to comply with his or her obligations
in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Section 8. Adjustment. The number of Shares subject to this Restricted Stock Unit
Award may be adjusted by Micro from time to time pursuant to the Plan.
Section 9. Nature of the Award. By accepting this Restricted Stock Unit Award,
Awardee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(1) | the Plan is established voluntarily by Micro, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by Micro at any time; | ||
(2) | the grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Unit Award, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Unit Awards, even if Restricted Stock Unit Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past; |
3
(3) | all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Micro; | ||
(4) | participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Awardees employment or service relationship at any time; | ||
(5) | participating in the Plan is voluntary; | ||
(6) | the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to Micro or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of Awardees employment contract, if any; | ||
(7) | the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; | ||
(8) | the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, welfare or retirement benefits or similar payments, and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services to Micro, the Employer or any subsidiary or Affiliate of Micro; | ||
(9) | the Restricted Stock Unit Award and Awardees participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with Micro, the Employer or any subsidiary or Affiliate of Micro; | ||
(10) | the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; | ||
(11) | no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Unit Award resulting from termination of Awardees employment or service with Micro or the Employer, as applicable, and in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award to which Awardee is otherwise not entitled, Awardee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against Micro or the Employer, waive his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release Micro and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then by participating in the Plan, Awardee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; | ||
(12) | the vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit Award ceases upon the Termination Date, or other cessation of eligibility to vest for any reason, except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan document or this Award Agreement; | ||
(13) | Awardee acknowledges that this Award Agreement is between Awardee and Micro, and that the Employer is not a party to this Award Agreement; | ||
(14) | Awardee agrees to provide Micro with any data requested if Awardee is a mobile employee to facilitate the proper withholding and reporting by Micro and/or the Employer, as applicable; and | ||
(15) | the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability. |

administering and managing the Plan (Data). Awardee hereby understands that Data may be

may be required to a broker or other third party with whom Awardee may elect to deposit any Shares
