Vesting: Upon vesting of each RSU, the Participant shall be entitled to a payment equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share. The payment shall be paid to the Participant in Shares, such that the requirements of Section 580 of the Companies Act 2006 are satisfied (being that no Shares are issued for a consideration of less than their nominal value).

Termination: Notwithstanding anything in Section 8 of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant, any RSUs that have not vested will lapse immediately; provided, however, in the event that such termination is due to the Participant’s death, 100% of the unvested RSUs shall vest in full upon the Participant’s death.

Dilution Protection: The Plan contains detailed provisions for adjustments in the number and price of Shares for various corporate events, such as a change in capitalization, or a corporate transaction.
