Adobe Systems Incorporated
2003 Equity Incentive Plan
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

(Global)
Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this
Award Agreement, including the attached Appendix, (“Award Agreement”), Adobe
Systems Incorporated (the “Company”) has awarded you, pursuant to its 2003
Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a Restricted Stock Unit Award for that
number of Restricted Stock Units as indicated in the Grant Notice. Unless
otherwise defined herein or in the Grant Notice, capitalized terms shall have
the meanings set forth in the Plan. Subject to adjustment and the terms and
conditions as provided herein and in the Plan, each Restricted Stock Unit shall
represent the right to receive one (1) share of Stock.

The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice,
are as follows.

1.Vesting.

(a)The Restricted Stock Units shall vest, if at all, as provided in the Vesting
Schedule set forth in your Grant Notice, this Award Agreement, and the Plan,
provided that vesting shall cease upon the termination of your Service, except
as otherwise set forth herein.

(b)If your Service terminates due to your death or Disability, then you will be
given credit for an additional twelve (12) months of continuous Service such
that the number of Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would have vested had
your Service continued for an additional twelve (12) months following your
termination will accelerate and become vested as of the date of your Service
termination; provided, however, that in no event shall such applicable vesting
exceed 100% of the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award. For
purposes of this provision, (i) your Service shall be deemed to have terminated
on account of death if your death occurs within three (3) months after your
termination of Service, and (ii) “Disability” shall mean your permanent and
total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any applicable regulations
promulgated thereunder to the extent not inconsistent with the regulations under
Section 409A of the Code. Except as set forth in this Section 1(b), any
Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award that have not vested at the time of
your termination of Service for any or no reason will be forfeited immediately
and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the
Company.

(c)For purposes of the Award, your Service will be considered terminated as of
the date you are no longer actively providing Service to the Participating
Company Group (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not
later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction
where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), and
unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the
Participating Company Group, your right to vest in the Award under the Plan, if
any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice
period (e.g., your period of service would not include any contractual notice
period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under
employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your
employment agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion
to determine when you are no longer actively providing Service for purposes of
your Award (including whether you may still be considered to be providing
services while on a leave of absence). Any such determination by the Company (or
any Participating Company, as applicable) for the purposes of this Award
Agreement shall have no effect upon any determination of the rights or
obligations of you or the Company (or any Participating Company, as applicable)
for any other purpose.

(d)The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance,
or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at
any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted
Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the
Committee. Notwithstanding Section 5 and in accordance with Section 16, the
payment of shares of Stock vesting pursuant to this Section 1(d) shall in all
cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with,
Section 409A.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.
Number of Restricted Stock Units and Underlying Shares of Stock.

(a)The Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award and the shares of Stock
deliverable with respect to such Restricted Stock Units will be adjusted from
time to time for capitalization adjustments, as provided in Section 4.2 of the
Plan.

(b)Any additional Restricted Stock Units, shares of Stock, cash or other
property that become subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 2 shall be
subject, in a manner determined by the Committee, to the same forfeiture
restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery
as applicable to the other Restricted Stock Units and shares of Stock covered by
your Award.

(c)Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2, no fractional Restricted
Stock Units or rights for fractional shares of Stock shall be created pursuant
to this Section 2. The Board shall, in its discretion, determine an equivalent
benefit for any fractional Restricted Stock Units or fractional shares that
might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 2.

3.Payment by You. Except as otherwise provided in the Grant Notice, this Award
has been granted in consideration of your Services. Subject to Section 12 below,
and except as otherwise provided in the Grant Notice, you will not be required
to make any payment to the Company (other than your past and future services
with the Company (or any other Participating Company, as applicable)) with
respect to your receipt of the Award, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units,
or the delivery of the shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units.

4.Rights as a Stockholder. Neither you nor any person claiming under or through
you will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in
respect of any shares of Stock hereunder unless and until certificates
representing shares of Stock will have been issued to you pursuant to Section 5.
After such issuance, you will have all the rights of a stockholder of the
Company with respect to voting such shares of Stock and receipt of dividends and
other distributions on such shares of Stock.

5.Delivery of Shares. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive
one share of Stock on the date that such Restricted Stock Unit vests. Unless and
until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in
Section 1, you will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units.
Except as provided in Section 6, any Restricted Stock Units that vest in
accordance with Section 1 will be paid to you in whole shares of Stock as soon
as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period thirty
(30) days following the vesting date, subject to you satisfying any applicable
tax withholding obligations as set forth in Section 12. In no event will you be
permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of
any Restricted Stock Units payable under this Award Agreement.

(a)Deferred Shares. If you are eligible and elect to defer delivery of the
shares of Stock as provided in Section 6 of this Award Agreement, such shares of
Stock will be issued and delivered to you on the date or dates that you elect on
your deferral election form. The Certificates shall be in such form as is
determined by the Company. No shares of Stock shall be issued prior to vesting
of the Restricted Stock Units.

(b)Delivery Following Death. If you are deceased at the time that shares of
Stock pursuant to Restricted Stock Units, if any, are to be delivered to you,
such delivery will be made to your designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary
has survived you or been designated, to the administrator or executor of your
estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (i) written notice of
his or her status as a transferee, and (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Company
to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or
regulations pertaining to said transfer.

6.Deferral Election. If permitted by the Company to do so, you may elect to
defer receipt of the shares of Stock that otherwise would be issued pursuant to
the vesting of your Award in accordance with the terms and conditions, including
the applicable eligibility requirements, of the Company's Deferred Compensation
Plan. The Committee will, in its sole discretion, establish the rules and
procedures for such deferrals.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.Securities Law Compliance. The grant of your Award and the issuance of any
shares of Stock thereunder shall be subject to compliance with all applicable
requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities.
You may not be issued any shares of Stock if such issuance of shares of Stock
would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign
securities laws, any other governmental regulatory body, or other law or
regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon
which the Stock may then be listed. You understand that the Company is under no
obligation to register or qualify the shares with the United States Securities
Exchange Commission or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek
approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale
of the shares of Stock.

In addition, you may not be issued any shares of Stock unless (i) a registration
statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of issuance be in effect
with respect to the shares of Stock or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to
the Company, the shares of Stock may be issued in accordance with the terms of
an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. YOU ARE CAUTIONED THAT THE SHARES OF STOCK MAY NOT BE ISSUED UNLESS THE
FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. Where the Company determines that the
delivery of any shares of Stock to settle this Award would violate federal
securities laws or other applicable laws/governmental agency, the Company will
defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably
anticipates that delivery of shares of Stock will no longer cause such
violation. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body
having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company's legal counsel
to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Stock shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
such shares of Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been
obtained. As a condition to the issuance of any shares of Stock pursuant to this
Award, the Company may require you to satisfy any qualifications that may be
necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or
regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as
may be requested by the Company. Further, you agree that the Company shall have
unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Award Agreement without your
consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws
applicable to issuance of shares of Stock.

8.Restrictive Legends. The shares of Stock issued pursuant to this Award shall
be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by the Company.

9.Transferability. Except to the limited extent permitted under Section 5(b),
this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation
of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution,
attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privileged
conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or
similar process, this Award and the rights and privileges hereby immediately
will become null and void.

10.Award Not a Service Contract. Your Award is not an employment or service
contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to create in any way
whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the
Participating Company Group, or on the part of the Participating Company Group
to continue such service. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the
Participating Company Group, their respective stockholders, boards of directors,
Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as an
Employee, Director or Consultant for the Participating Company Group.

11.Unsecured Obligation. Your Award is unfunded, and even as to any Restricted
Stock Units that vest, you shall be considered an unsecured creditor of the
Company with respect to the Company's obligation, if any, to issue shares of
Stock pursuant to this Award Agreement. You shall not have voting or any other
rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock
acquired pursuant to this Award Agreement until such shares of Stock are issued
to you pursuant to this Award Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain
full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the
shares of Stock so issued. Nothing contained in this Award Agreement, and no
action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create
a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or
any other person.

12.Tax Obligations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a)General. Regardless of any action taken by the Company or any other
Participating Company with respect to any or all federal, state, local and
foreign income, employment, social insurance, payroll taxes, payment on account
or other taxes related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable
to you or deemed by the Participating Company Group to be an appropriate charge
to you even if technically due by the Participating Company Group (“Tax-Related
Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
legally due by you or otherwise due from you as set forth below in this Section
12, is, and remains, your responsibility. You further acknowledge that the
Participating Company Group (i) makes no representations or undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect
of your Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement
of this Award, subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to this Award, or the
receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents and (ii) does not commit to
and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any other
aspect of your Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related
Items. Further, if you have 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, you acknowledge that the Participating Company
Group may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than
one jurisdiction.

(b)Withholding Arrangements. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding
event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to
the Participating Company Group to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this
regard, you hereby authorize the Participating Company Group, or its respective
agents, in their sole discretion and subject to any limitations under applicable
law, to satisfy all Tax-Related Items by one or more of the following means:

i.
withholding of that number of whole vested shares of Stock otherwise deliverable
to you pursuant to this Award Agreement having a Fair Market Value not in excess
of the amount of the Tax-Related Items determined by the applicable minimum
statutory rates. In no event may shares of Stock be withheld with a value
exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld or paid. For tax
purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock
subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of
Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due
as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan;

ii.
withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon
vesting/settlement of the Award either through a voluntary sale or through a
mandatory sale arranged by the Participating Company Group (on your behalf
pursuant to this authorization);

iii.
tender by you of a payment in cash or check to the Participating Company Group
(as applicable) of any amount of the Tax-Related Items;

iv.
withholding by any Participating Company of any amount of the Tax-Related Items
from your wages of any other compensation owed to you by any Participating
Company; and

v.
in the event this Award is settled in whole or in part in cash, withholding from
the cash to be distributed to you in settlement of this Award.

(c)You shall pay to the Participating Company Group (as applicable) any amount
of Tax-Related Items that the Participating Company Group may be required to
withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that
cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company and any other
Participating Company Group shall have no obligation to issue or deliver shares,
cash or the proceeds of the sale of Stock until you have satisfied the
obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this
Section.

13.Nature of Award. In accepting your Award, you acknowledge, understand and
agree that:

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company; it is discretionary in
nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company
at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)the grant of your Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any
contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in
lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted in the past;

(c)all decisions with respect to future Awards or other grants, if any, will be
at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d)the Award and your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to

(if any);

(e)you are voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(f)the Award and the Stock subject to the Award are not intended to replace any
pension rights or compensation;

(g)the Award and the Stock subject to the Award, and the income and value of

end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or
welfare benefits or similar payments;

(h)the future value of the underlying shares of Stock subject to your Award is
unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from
forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of your Service with the
Participating Company Group employment or other service relationship (for any
reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of
employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your
employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Award to
which you are otherwise not entitled, you irrevocably agree never to institute
any claim against any Participating Company, waive your ability, if any, to
bring any such claim, and release the Participating Company Group 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, you shall be
deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such a claim and agree to
execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of
such claim;

(j)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Participating Company Group
in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement
do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred

substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the
shares of the Company; and

(k) the following provisions apply only if you are providing Service outside the

the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any
amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent
sale of any shares of Stock acquired upon settlement.

14.Delivery of Documents and Notices. Any document relating to participating in
the Plan or this Award and/or notice required or permitted hereunder shall be

that this Award Agreement provides for effectiveness only upon actual receipt of
such notice) upon personal delivery, electronic delivery, or upon deposit in the
U.S. Post Office or foreign postal service, by registered or certified mail,
with postage and fees prepaid, or with a nationally recognized courier

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with evidence of delivery, addressed to the other party at the e-mail address,
if any, provided for you by the Company or a Participating Company or at such
other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the
other party.

(a)Description of Electronic Delivery. The Plan and Awarddocuments, which may
include but do not necessarily include the Plan prospectus, Grant Notice, Award
Agreement, Certificates, and United States financial reports of the Company, may
be delivered to you electronically by the Company or a third party designated by
the Company. Such means of delivery may include but do not necessarily include
the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the internet site of a third
party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of the document via
e-mail or such other delivery determined at the Committee's discretion.

(b)Consent to Electronic Delivery. You acknowledge that you have read Section 15
of this Award Agreement and consent to the electronic delivery of the Plan and
Award documents by the Company or a third party designated by the Company and
agree to participate in the Plan through any online or electronic system
established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the
Company, as described in Section 15 of this Award Agreement. You acknowledge
that you may receive from the Company a paper copy of any documents delivered
electronically at no cost if you contact the Company by telephone, through a
postal service or electronic mail at equity@adobe.com. You further acknowledge
that you will be provided with a paper copy of any documents delivered
electronically if electronic delivery fails; similarly, you understand that you
must provide the Company or any designated third party with a paper copy of any
documents delivered electronically if electronic delivery fails. Also, you
understand that your consent may be revoked or changed, including any change in
the electronic mail address to which documents are delivered (if you have
provided an electronic mail address), at any time by notifying the Company of
such revised or revoked consent by telephone, postal service or electronic mail
at equity@adobe.com. Finally, you understand that you are not required to
consent to electronic delivery.

15.Data Privacy Consent. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the
collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data
as described in this Award Agreement or any other Award materials (“Data') by
and among the members of the Participating Company Group for the exclusive
purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the
Plan.

You understand that the Company and the Participating Company Group hold certain
personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home
address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other
identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or
directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards or any other
entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or
outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing,
administering and managing the Plan.

You understand that Data will be transferred to E*TRADE, or such other stock
plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is
assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of
the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the
United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients' country (e.g., the United
States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country.
You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a
list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by
contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Company,
E*TRADE and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company
(presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the
Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or
other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing
your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data will be held only as
long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in
the Plan. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may,
at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and
processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or
withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing
your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are
providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not
consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or
service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected: the only
adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company
would not be able to grant you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Restricted Stock units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such
awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may
affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the
consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand
that you may contact your local human resources representative.

16.Application of Section 409A. Absent a proper deferral election, it is
intended that all of the benefits and payments provided under this Award
satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of
Code Section 409A provided under the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in
United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A‑1(b)(4), and this Award will be
construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions.
To the extent not so exempt, this Award and the payments and benefits to be
provided hereunder are intended to, and will be construed and implemented so as
to, comply in all respects with the applicable provisions of Code Section 409A,
and any provisions calling for payments on a termination of employment or other
service shall be read to mean a “separation from service” (as defined under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409-1(h) without reference to alternative
definitions thereunder). For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment,
installment and benefit under this Award is intended to constitute a separate
payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A‑2(b)(2).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award, to the extent that (i) one or
more of the payments or benefits received or to be received by you upon
“separation from service” pursuant to this Plan would constitute deferred
compensation subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, and (ii) you are
a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A at the time of
separation from service, then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion
of such payments or benefits is required in order to avoid a prohibited
distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related adverse
taxation under Section 409A, such payments and benefits shall not be provided to
you prior to the earliest of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured
from the date of separation from service, (b) the date of your death or (c) such
earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse
taxation on you. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such
applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments and benefits
deferred pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum to you, and any
remaining payments and benefits due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

17.Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this
Award contained herein, the Award Agreement will be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and
assigns of the parties hereto.

18.Committee Authority. The Committee will have the power to interpret the Plan
and this Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to
interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the
determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested). All
actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee
in good faith will be final and binding upon you, the Company and all other
interested persons. No member of the Committee will be personally liable for any
action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or this Award Agreement.

19.Headings. The headings of the Sections in this Award Agreement are inserted
for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Award
Agreement or to affect the meaning of this Award Agreement.

20.Miscellaneous.

(a)The rights and obligations of the Company under your Award shall be
transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and
agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the
Company's successors and assigns.

(b)You agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments
necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the
purposes or intent of your Award.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its entirety,
have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing and
accepting your Award and fully understand all provisions of your Award.

21.Agreement Severable. The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and
if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless
be binding and enforceable.

22.Governing Plan Document. Your Award is subject to all the provisions of the
Plan, which are hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all
interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time
be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict
between one or more provisions of your Award and one or more provisions of the
Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

23.Applicable Law and Venue. The Award and the provisions of this Award
Agreement shall be governed by, and subject to, the laws of the State of
California, United States of America. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or
other proceedings brought to enforce this Award Agreement, relating to it, or
arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and
exclusive jurisdiction of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts
of the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other
courts, where this Award Agreement is made and/or performed.

24.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or
financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your

is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, you acknowledge that you are
solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage
account and shares of Stock deposited therein to the Danish Tax Administration
as part of your annual income tax return. By signing the Form V, you authorize
the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.

bank), the brokerage account likely will be treated as a deposit account because
cash can be held in the account. Therefore, you likely must also file a Form K
(Erklæring K) with the Danish Tax Administration. Both you and the broker must
sign the Form K. By signing the Form K, the broker undertakes an obligation,
without further request each year and not later than February 1 of the year
following the calendar year to which the information relates, to forward
information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the content of the
deposit account. In the event that the applicable financial institution (broker
or bank) with which the account is held, does not wish to, or, pursuant to the
laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to
report, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for providing certain
details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account to the Danish Tax
Administrative as part of your annual income tax return. By signing the Form K,
you authorize the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.

by such company, which has not been made public and which, if published, would
reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the development
of the price. The insider could be any employee of a Participating Company Group
in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.

working at a Participating Company Group in the Netherlands may have inside
information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in
securities in the Netherlands at a time when you have such inside information.

Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the
Singapore company in writing when you receive an interest (e.g., Awards, shares
of Stock) in the Company or any related companies. In addition, you must notify
the Singapore company when you sell shares of the Company or any related company
(including when you sell shares of Stock acquired pursuant to your Award). These
notifications must be made within two business days of acquiring or disposing of
any interest in the Company or any related company. In addition, a notification
must be made of your interests in the Company or any related company within two
business days of becoming a director.

Insider Trading Information
You should be aware of the Singapore insider-trading rules, which may impact
your acquisition or disposal of shares of Stock or rights to Stock under the
Plan. Under the Singapore insider-trading rules, you are prohibited from
acquiring or selling shares of Stock or rights to Stock (e.g., Restricted Stock
Units under the Plan) when you are in possession of information which is not
generally available and which you know or should know will have a material
effect on the price of Stock once such information is generally available.
Securities Law Information
The award of Restricted Stock Units is being made in reliance of section
273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chap. 289) (“SFA”) for which it is
exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements under the SFA. The Plan
has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of
Singapore. You should note that the Award of Restricted Stock Units is subject
to section 257 of the SFA and you will not be able to make (i) any subsequent
sale of shares of Stock in Singapore or (ii) any offer of such subsequent sale
of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units in Singapore, unless such sale or
offer in is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1)
Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.).
South Africa
Exchange Control Information

You are solely responsible for complying with applicable South African exchange
control regulations. Since the exchange control regulations change frequently
and without notice, you should consult your legal advisor prior to the
acquisition or sale of Stock under the Plan to ensure compliance with current
regulations. As noted, it is your responsibility to comply with South African
exchange control laws, and the Participating Company Group will not be liable
for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable
laws.

Spain
Securities Law Information
The Awards described in the Award agreement and Appendix do not qualify under
Spanish regulations as securities. No “offer of securities to the public,” as
defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish
territory. The Award Agreement (including the Appendix) has not been nor will it
be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and it does not
constitute a public offering prospectus.
Exchange Control Information
To participate in the Plan, you must comply with exchange control regulations in
Spain. When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of
shares of Stock issued pursuant to the Award exceeding €50,0000 (i.e., dividends
or sale proceeds), you must inform the financial institution receiving the
payment of the basis upon which such payment is made. You will need to provide
the institution with the following information: (i) your name, address, and
fiscal identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of the
Company; (iii) the amount of the payment and the currency used; (iv) the country
of origin; (v) the reasons for the payment; and (vi) any further information
that may be required.
If you acquire shares of Stock issued pursuant to the Award and wish to import
the ownership title of such shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, you
must declare the importation of such securities to the Spanish Direccion General
de Política Comercial y de Inversiones Extranjeras (the “DGPCIE”). Generally,
the declaration must be made in January for shares of Stock acquired or sold
during (or owned as of December 31 of) the prior year; however, if the value of
shares acquired or sold exceeds €1,502,530 (or you hold 10% or more of the
shares capital of the Company or such other amount that would entitle you to
join the Company's board of directors), the declaration must be filed within one
month of the acquisition or sale, as applicable. Effective January 1, 2013, the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the relevant year.

Labor Law Acknowledgment
By accepting the Award, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge
that you have received a copy of the Plan document.
You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and in its sole
discretion decided to make grants of Awards under the Plan to Employees,
Directors and Consultants throughout the world. The decision is limited and
entered into based upon the express assumption and condition that any Awards
will not economically or otherwise bind the Participating Company Group,
including the Employer, on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth
in the Award Agreement. Consequently, you understand that the Awards are given
on the assumption and condition that the Awards shall not become part of any
employment contract (whether with the Participating Company Group, including the
Employer) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any
purpose (including severance compensation), or any other right whatsoever.
Furthermore, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that
any benefit whatsoever shall arise from the grant of Awards, which is gratuitous
and discretionary, because the future value of the Awards and the underlying
shares of Stock is unknown and unpredictable.
You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the Awards, your
termination of Service for any reason other than death, disability or retirement
(including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the
cancellation and loss of any Awards that may have been granted to you and that
were not fully vested on the date of termination of Service. In particular, you
understand and agree that, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Company in
the Award Agreement, the Awards will be cancelled without entitlement to the
shares or to any amount as indemnification if you terminate Service by reason
of, but not limited to, the following: resignation; disciplinary dismissal
adjudged to be with cause; disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be
without cause; individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether
adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause;
material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the
Workers' Statute; relocation under Article 40 of the Workers' Statute; Article
50 of the Workers' Statute; unilateral withdrawal by the Employer; and under
Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.
You also understand that this grant of Awards would not be made but for the
assumptions and conditions set forth above; thus, you understand, acknowledge
and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or any
of the conditions not be met for any reason, the grant, the Awards and any right
to the underlying shares of Stock shall be null and void.
Payment on Account
The amount of the payment on account payable at the time of vesting of Awards
paid in shares of Stock, if any, will be charged to you and will be withheld
from salary. If your salary is insufficient to cover the payment on account
obligation, you must sell some of your shares of Stock acquired upon vesting to
cover the payment on account obligation.
Sweden
There are no country-specific provisions.
Switzerland
Securities Law Information
The grant is considered a private offering in Switzerland and is therefore not
subject to registration in Switzerland.

United Kingdom
The following supplements Section 12 of the Award Agreement:
You agree that, if you do not pay or the Participating Company Group does not
withhold from you the full amount of Tax-Related Items that you owe at vesting
and settlement of the Award, or the release or assignment of the Award for
consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Award
(the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other
period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and
Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld shall
constitute a loan owed by you to the Participating Company Group, effective 90
days after the Taxable Event. You agree that the loan will bear interest at Her
Majesty's Revenue & Customs' (“HMRC”) official rate and will be immediately due
and repayable by you, and the Participating Company Group may recover it at any
time thereafter by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds
due to you by the Employer, by withholding in shares of Stock issued upon
vesting of your Award or from the cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock
or by demanding cash or a cheque from you. You also authorize the Company to
delay the issuance of any shares of Stock or their cash equivalent unless and
until the loan is repaid in full.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an officer or executive director (as
within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not
apply. In the event that you are an officer or executive director and Tax
Related Items are not collected from or paid by you within 90 days of the
Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a
benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance
contributions may be payable. You will be responsible for reporting and paying
any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to the HMRC under the
self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as
appropriate) for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due
on this additional benefit. You acknowledge that the Participating Company Group
may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions
at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 12 of the
Award Agreement.
