Section 6. Termination or Suspension of Employment or Service. The following
provisions shall apply in the event of Awardees termination of employment, or with respect to a
member of the Board who is not an Employee, Awardees termination of service as a member of the
Board, as applicable (hereinafter referred to as a termination of employment or service,
respectively).
(a) Termination of Employment or Service for Cause or any reason other than death,
Disability or Retirement. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as
required to comply with applicable law, if Awardees employment with the Employer, or service with
Micro, as applicable, is terminated for Cause or any reason other than death, Disability or
Retirement, the unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be cancelled (forfeited) on the
Termination Date (as defined in Section 6(d) below) and Awardee shall not be entitled to receive
any payment thereunder.
(b) Disability or Death. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or
as required to comply with applicable law, if Awardees employment with the Employer, or service
with Micro, as applicable, is terminated due to Disability or death, the unvested Restricted Stock
Unit Award will immediately vest and become payable as of the Termination Date (as defined in
Section 6(d) below), or on the date of Awardees death. For purposes hereof, Disability means
permanent and total disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as determined by the
Committee pursuant to applicable local law.
(c) Retirement. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as
required to comply with applicable law, if Awardees employment with the Employer, or service with
Micro, as applicable, is terminated due to Retirement, Awardees unvested Restricted Stock Unit
Award will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 of this
Award Agreement. Unless the Committee otherwise permits, the Committee has determined that the
term Retirement means that Awardees employment has terminated other than by reason of death,
Disability or Cause and that all of the following criteria have been satisfied as of the
Termination Date (as defined in Section 6(d) below): either (1) Awardee is at least 65 years of age
and has completed at least five years of service with the Employer, or (2) Awardee is at least 55
years of age and has completed at least ten years of service with the Employer. However, the
number of Restricted Stock Units awarded in the year of Retirement will be prorated based upon the
number of full months of service completed by the retiree during the calendar year of Retirement
divided by 12, and the number of prorated Restricted Stock Units will continue to vest in
accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 of this Award Agreement.
(d) Termination Date. Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, for purposes
hereof, (i) any termination of Awardees employment for any reason shall occur on the date such
Awardee ceases to be actively employed by the Employer 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, and (ii) with respect to a member of the Board who is not also an
Employee, any termination of Awardees service with Micro shall occur on the date such Awardee
ceases to be a member of the Board, in each case, such date shall be known as the Termination
Date. 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 7. Restrictions on Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Micro shall not be
obligated to issue any Shares prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
(a) The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Common Stock
is then listed;
(b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state
or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or of
any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem
necessary or advisable;
2
(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental
agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or
advisable;
(d) The receipt by Micro of full payment for such Shares, including payment of any applicable
withholding tax; and
(e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the vesting of the Restricted Unit
Awards as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.
Section 8. 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, 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; (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 or Awardees acquisition of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously
described. 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 9. 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 10. Nature of the Award. By accepting this Restricted Stock Unit Award,
