Exhibit 10.4

MAGMA DESIGN AUTOMATION, INC.

2010 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

GLOBAL STOCK UNIT AWARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. General. These Stock Unit Award Terms and Conditions (these “Stock Unit Award
Terms and Conditions”) apply to a grant of Stock Units (the “Stock Units”) under
the Magma Design Automation, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). These
Stock Unit Award Terms and Conditions, together with the Notice of Grant of
Award (the “Notice of Grant”) corresponding to the particular award of Stock
Units (the “Award”) and any country-specific terms and conditions contained in
an appendix hereto (the “Appendix”) are collectively referred to as the “Award
Agreement” with respect to the Award. The recipient of the Award identified in
the Notice of Grant is referred to as the “Participant.”

The Award was granted under and subject to the Plan. Capitalized terms are
defined in the Plan if not defined herein. The Award has been granted to the
Participant in addition to, and not in lieu of, any form of compensation
otherwise payable or to be paid to the Participant.

2. Settlement. To the extent that the Stock Units subject to the Award become
vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant
or Section 3 below, subject to Section 12 of these Stock Unit Award Terms and
Conditions, settlement of the vested Stock Units shall be made within 30 days
following the applicable date of vesting by the Company delivering to the
Participant one Share for each Stock Unit that vested on the corresponding
vesting date, unless provided otherwise in the Appendix. Settlement of Stock
Units subject to the Award shall be in whole Shares only and any fractional
Share will be rounded down. The Participant shall have no further rights with
respect to any Stock Units that are settled or that terminate pursuant to
Section 7. The Stock Units are subject to adjustment, acceleration and
termination in accordance with Section 11 of the Plan.

3. Possible Acceleration of Award. In it sole discretion, the Committee may
accelerate the vesting of the balance (or portion thereof) of the unvested
portion of the Award at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. Upon any
such acceleration of vesting, the Award will be considered as having become
vested as of (or, as may be necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
acceleration, immediately prior to) the date specified by the Committee.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Award Agreement to the contrary, if
the vesting of the balance (or portion thereof) of the Award is accelerated in
connection with a Participant who is a U.S. taxpayer ceasing to provide Services
(other than due to death) and the Award may be considered deferred compensation
subject to Section 409A, the Stock Units that vest on account of such cessation
of Service will not be considered due or payable to the Participant until the
Participant has incurred a “separation from service.” For purposes of the Award
Agreement, “Section 409A” shall mean Section 409A of the Code and all
regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder. As used herein, a
“separation from service” occurs when the Participant dies, retires, or
otherwise has a termination of employment with the Company that constitutes a
“separation from service” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(h)(1), without regard to the optional alternative definitions
available thereunder. Furthermore, if a U.S. taxpayer Participant is a
“specified employee” as of the date of such separation from service, the
Participant shall not be entitled to any distribution

 

1

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

of his or her benefits hereunder until the earlier of (i) the date which is six
(6) months after his or her separation from service for any reason other than
death, or (ii) the date of the Participant’s death. For purposes of the Award
Agreement, “specified employee” shall mean an individual who, as of the date of
the individual’s separation from service, is a “specified employee” within the
meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). The provisions of this
paragraph shall apply only to the extent required to avoid any tax, penalty or
interest pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

4. No Stockholder Rights. The Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for
the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if and
when such Stock Units vest pursuant to the Award Agreement. Unless and until the
Award has vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice
of Grant, the Participant will have no right to payment of the Shares pursuant
to the Award. Prior to the issuance of Shares pursuant to the vested Award, such
Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation and shall not be treated as
property or as a trust fund of any kind. The Participant shall have no rights as
a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights until the
Stock Units vest and the related Shares are actually issued to and held of
record by the Participant. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other
rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of
such Shares.

5. Dividend Rights. The Participant shall have no dividend rights with respect
to the Stock Units.

6. Restrictions on Transfer. Neither the Award, nor any interest therein or
amount or Shares payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or
involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not
apply to transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

7. Termination of Service. If the Participant’s continuous, active Service with
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates terminates for any reason,
whether with or without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether or not
in breach of local labor laws, the Stock Units subject to the Award shall
automatically cease vesting and terminate (to the extent such Stock Units have
not become vested) on the first date the Participant is no longer providing
continuous, active Service to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates. Vesting will not be extended by any notice period mandated under
local law (e.g., Service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar
period under local law). If any unvested Stock Units are terminated hereunder,
such Stock Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the
applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company
and without any other action by the Participant, or the Participant’s
beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be. In case of any
dispute as to whether termination of the Participant’s continuous Service has
occurred, the Committee shall have sole discretion to determine whether such
termination has occurred and the effective date of such termination.

8. Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or the
Participant’s 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 the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally
applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant

 

2

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

acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and
remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually
withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges
that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect
of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of
the Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Stock Units, the
subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of
any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are
under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the
Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become
subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the
date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the
Company 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, the
Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company
and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, subject to
Section 12, upon any distribution of Shares in respect of the Stock Units, the
Company shall automatically reduce the number of Shares to be delivered (or
otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of whole Shares, valued at their
then Fair Market Value, to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company or
its Subsidiaries or Affiliates with respect to such distribution of Shares at
the minimum applicable withholding rates. In the event that the Company cannot
legally satisfy such withholding obligations by such reduction of Shares, or in
the event of a cash payment or any other withholding event in respect of the
Stock Units, the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) shall be entitled to
require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from
other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by U.S. federal,
state, local or foreign tax law to be withheld with respect to such distribution
or payment. Furthermore and notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is not
subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company may elect to satisfy any
obligation for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following
methods and Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their
respective agents, at their discretion to meet such obligation by
(i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to
the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from
proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Stock
Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by
the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization).

If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares,
for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number
of Shares subject to the vested Stock Units, 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 the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of
Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold
or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that
cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to
issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the
Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection
with the Tax-Related Items.

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

9. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Award and any Shares issued pursuant to the
vesting of the Award, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

 

  (a)

the grant of the Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any
contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Units, or benefits
in lieu of Stock Units, even if Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the
past;

 

  (b)

all decisions with respect to future Stock Unit grants, if any, will be at the
sole discretion of the Company;

 

  (c)

the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

 

  (d)

in the event the Company is not the Employer, the Award and the Shares subject
to the Award are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any
kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, which are
outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any and in no
event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past
services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Company;

 

  (e)

the Award and the Shares subject to the Award are not intended to replace any
pension rights or compensation;

 

  (f)

the Award and the Shares subject to the Award are not part of normal or expected
compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to,
calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end
of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or
welfare benefits or similar payments;

 

  (g)

the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted
with certainty;

 

  (h)

no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture
of the Award resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment by the
Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach
of local labor laws), and in consideration of the grant of the Award to which
the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees
never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waives his or
her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company 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, the Participant 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.

 

4

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

10. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or
financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the
Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or
sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant is hereby advised to consult with
his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her
participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

11. Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents
to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the
Participant’s personal data as described in the Award Agreement and any other
Stock Unit grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the
Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of
implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the
Plan.

The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain
personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the
Participant’s 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 awarded, canceled, exercised, vested,
unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of
implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

The Participant understands 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. The Participant understands 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 the Participant’s country. The Participant understands
that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential
recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources
representative. The Participant authorizes the Company, its designated Plan
broker 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 his or
her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be
held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the
Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that he or
she 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 his or her local human resources representative. The Participant
understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect
the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on
the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of
consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local
human resources representative.

12. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Award and any payment with respect
thereto will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by Company and the
Participant with all applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations and with any applicable requirements of any stock exchange or
automated quotation system on which the Company’s Shares may be listed or quoted
at the time of such issuance or transfer.

 

5

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

13. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under the
Award Agreement. The Award Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to Section 6, the
Award Agreement will be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s
heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

14. Entire Agreement; Severability. The Company and the Participant agree that
the Stock Units are granted under and governed by the Award Agreement and the
provisions of the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference). The
Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement,
which together constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings
and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject
matter hereof. If any provision of the Award Agreement is determined by a court
of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be enforced to
the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective
and enforceable.

15. NO GUARANTEE OF SERVICE. UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR ANY
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTICIPANT AND THE EMPLOYER, THE PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS
AND AGREES THAT HIS OR HER SERVICE IS FOR AN UNSPECIFIED DURATION AND, IF THE
PARTICIPANT IS AN EMPLOYEE, CONSTITUTES “AT-WILL” EMPLOYMENT. THE PARTICIPANT
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING
SCHEDULE SET FORTH IN THE NOTICE OF GRANT IS ATTAINED ONLY BY CONTINUING ACTIVE
SERVICE TO THE COMPANY OR ONE OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES AS AN EMPLOYEE,
DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR
AFFILIATES (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED STOCK UNITS OR
BEING ISSUED SHARES HEREUNDER). THE PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT (I) THE AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER, AND THE
VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH IN THE NOTICE OF GRANT DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS AN EMPLOYEE OR OTHER SERVICE
PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL; (II) WILL NOT BE
INTERPRETED TO FORM AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT OR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY OR
ANY SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATE; AND (III) SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE
PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S AND/OR ANY SUBSIDIARY’S OR AFFILIATE’S
RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE PARTICIPANT’S SERVICE AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
NO PRO-RATA VESTING WILL BE AWARDED FOR SERVICE (EVEN IF SUBSTANTIAL) BETWEEN
VESTING DATES.

16. Modifications to the Award Agreement and Imposition of Additional
Requirements. The Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting
the Award Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements
other than those contained herein. The Plan and the Award Agreement may be
amended pursuant to Section 19 of the Plan.

In addition, the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the
Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any Shares acquired
under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or
advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of
the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or
undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

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

17. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms
of the Award Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Company, in care
of its General Counsel, at 1650 Technology Drive, San Jose, California 95110,
U.S.A., or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in
writing. Any such notice shall be given only when received by the Company.

18. Restrictions on Resale. By entering into the Award Agreement, the
Participant agrees not to sell any Shares at a time when applicable laws or
Company policies prohibit such a sale. This restriction shall apply so as long
as the Participant is providing Services to the Company or a Subsidiary or
Affiliate.

19. Claw-Back Policy. Notwithstanding anything else contained in these Stock
Unit Award Terms and Conditions to the contrary and unless otherwise provided in
the Appendix, the Award and any Shares acquired with respect to the Award are
subject to forfeiture to or claw-back by the Company (i) to the extent required
and allowed by law (including, but not limited to, the Sarbanes Oxley Act of
2002), and (ii) pursuant to any applicable claw-back or similar policy of the
Company, as any such policy may be in effect from time to time. In its sole
discretion, the Committee may amend or waive the provisions of this Section 19,
in whole or in part, to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with
applicable laws, as determined by the Committee.

20. Governing Law and Venue. The Award Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to conflict of laws principles thereunder.

For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from
the relationship of the parties evidenced by the Award or the Award Agreement,
the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in
the courts of Santa Clara, California, or the federal courts for the United
States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this
grant is made and/or to be performed.

21. Section Headings. Section headings of the Award Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any
provision hereof.

22. Limitation on the Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no
rights or interests other than as herein provided. The Award Agreement creates
only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable
pursuant to the Award and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither
the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The
Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the
Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with
respect to the Stock Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the
Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to Stock Units, as and when
payable hereunder.

23. Counterparts. The Award Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

7

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

24. Construction. While the Company makes no tax representations regarding the
Award, it is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the
imposition of any tax liability pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. The Award
Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.

25. Language. If the Participant has received the Award Agreement or any other
document related to the Plan 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.

26. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to
deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by
electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by
electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or
electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party
designated by the Company.

27. Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in the Award Agreement, the Award
shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Appendix
to the Award Agreement for the Participant’s country. Moreover, if the
Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the
special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to
the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and
conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or
facilitate the administration of the Plan. The Appendix constitutes part of the
Award Agreement.

The Participant and the Company agree that the Award is granted under and
governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement. The
Participant accepts the Award on such terms and conditions. In the event of a
conflict between one or more provisions of the Award Agreement and one or more
provisions of the Plan, the Participant agrees that the provisions of the Plan
will govern. The Participant agrees that the Participant has reviewed the Plan
and the Award Agreement (including the Notice of Grant, the Stock Unit Award
Terms and Conditions and the Appendix) in their entirety, has had an opportunity
to obtain the advice of counsel prior to accepting the Award and any Shares
issued at vesting of the Award, and fully understands all provisions of the Plan
and the Award Agreement. The Participant agrees that the Participant has also
received and reviewed the Prospectus for the Plan. The Participant understands
that the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in
nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.
The Participant agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions
or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions relating to the Plan and
the Award Agreement. The Participant further agrees to notify the Company upon
any change in the Participant’s residence address.

DEEMED ACCEPTANCE: The Participant does not need to specifically acknowledge his
or her acceptance of this Award as the Participant will be deemed to have
accepted the Award and the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award
Agreement unless the Participant notifies the Company in writing prior to the
first vesting date set forth in the Notice of Grant that the Participant
declines this grant.

position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the

one in which the Participant is currently working, transfers employment to
another country after the Award is granted, or is considered a citizen of

NETHERLANDS

Notifications

Securities Law Notification. The Participant should be aware of Dutch insider
trading rules which may impact the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan. In
particular, the Participant may be prohibited from effecting certain securities
transactions if the Participant has insider information regarding the Company.

In accepting the grant of Stock Units and participating in the Plan, the
Participant acknowledges having read and understood this Securities Law
Notification and acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to
comply with the following Dutch insider trading rules:

Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has
“inside information” related to an issuer is prohibited from effectuating a
transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is
knowledge of specific information concerning the issuer to which the securities
relate that is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected
to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of the price.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees
of the Company working at a Subsidiary or Affiliate in the Netherlands
(including the Participant) may have inside information and, thus, would be
prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a
time when the Participant had such inside information.

UNITED KINGDOM

Terms and Conditions

Settlement. This provision supplements Section 2 of the Award Agreement.

Notwithstanding any discretion of the Company or anything to the contrary in the
Plan or the Award Agreement, the grant of the Stock Units does not provide any
right for the Participant to receive a cash payment and the Stock Units are
payable in Shares only. Without limitation to the above: (i) for the purposes of
Section 9(c) of the Plan, any dividend equivalents which are payable in respect
of the Stock Units granted to the Participant will be converted into additional
Stock Units and will be settled in the form of Shares, and (ii) for the purposes

Agreement:

If payment or withholding of income taxes is not made within ninety (90) days of
the event giving rise to the income tax or such other period specified in
Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the
“Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax shall constitute a loan
owed by the Participant to the Employer, effective as of the Due Date. The
Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official
rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), it shall be immediately due
and repayable, and the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time by any

Company to cover the income tax. In the event the Participant is a director or

paid by the Participant by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income
tax will constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax
and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) will be payable. The Participant
