 Exhibit A 

Notice of Grant of Stock Option and Option Agreement for {Non-}U.S. Employees 

1.    Exercise Price. The Exercise Price is equal to Fair Market Value, as defined in Section 2(n)
of the Plan, of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the Notice of Grant of Stock Option and Option Agreement for {Non-U.S. Employees} (of which this Exhibit A is a part) (the
“Option Agreement”). 
 2.    Option Exercise. Once vested, and subject to the other
provisions of this Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable in whole or in part at any time through and including the day immediately preceding the date set forth under the heading “Expiration” on the Option Agreement (the
“Expiration Date”), after which the Option shall expire and no longer be exercisable. 
 The Option shall be exercisable by notice
to the Company or the Company’s designated stock option administrator, which shall: 
 (a)    state the election to
exercise the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which it is being exercised, and, if different than the Optionee, the person in whose name the stock certificate or certificates for such shares of Common Stock are to be
registered, and the address and Social Security number of such person; 
 (b)    be signed by the person or persons
entitled to exercise the Option, and if the Option is being exercised by a person or persons other than the Optionee, be accompanied by proof satisfactory to the Company’s legal counsel of the right of such person or persons to exercise the
Option; and 
 (c)    if to the Company, be in writing and delivered in person or by certified mail to the Chief
Financial Officer of the Company or, if to the Company’s designated stock option administrator, be in the manner and form specified by such stock option administrator. 

Payment of the full purchase price of any shares of Common Stock, with respect to which the Option is being exercised, shall accompany the notice of exercise
of the Option and such payment may be made in cash or check payable to the Company. Alternatively, the Optionee may elect to pay the full purchase price of any shares of Common Stock, with respect to which the Option is being exercised, by having
the Company withhold, such number of shares of Common Stock as are equal in value to the full purchase price. Unless the Company has elected to have shares recorded in book entry form, the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock as to
which the Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of the person or persons exercising the Option. 

3.    Termination of Service. If the Optionee terminates Service other than by reason of the
Optionee’s death, Disability or Retirement, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option for three months following such termination to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of
the term of the Option). 
 4.    Retirement of Optionee. If the Optionee terminates Service as a
result of Retirement, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option for 24 months following such termination to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option). 

5.    Disability of Optionee. If the Optionee terminates Service as a result of
the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option for 24 months following such termination to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the
Option). 







 6.    Death of Optionee. If the Optionee dies while a
Service Provider, the Option may be exercised by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance for 12 months following the Optionee’s termination of Service because of death.

 7.    Optionee’s Agreement. The Optionee agrees to all the terms stated in the Option
Agreement (of which this Exhibit is a part), as well as to the terms of the Plan (which shall control in case of conflict with the Option Agreement), a copy of which is attached and of which the Optionee acknowledges receipt. 

8.    Withholding. The Optionee consents to fulfill all withholding obligations for all applicable
payroll and income taxes with respect to the Option when they are due and arrange for satisfactory payment of all withholding obligations in a manner as set forth in Section 13(h) of the Plan. The Company may delay issuance of a certificate until
proper payment of such taxes has been made by the Optionee. The Company may satisfy such withholding obligations by withholding such number of shares of Common Stock as are equal in value to the amount of the required withholding. 

{8.    Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Optionee’s employer (the
“Employer”) take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related
Items legally due by the Optionee is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and 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 Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at exercise and the receipt of
any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. 

Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Optionee shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy
all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items
legally payable by the Optionee from any wages or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the
Employer, at its discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Optionee by one or a
combination of the following: (i) withholding otherwise deliverable shares of Common Stock, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount; (ii) arranging
for the sale of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Optionee (on the Optionee’s behalf and at the Optionee’s direction pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of
Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares of Common Stock as described herein, the Optionee is deemed to have
been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due
as a result of any aspect of the Option. The Optionee shall pay to the Company and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result
of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver to the Optionee any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Option if the Optionee fails to comply with the
Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.} 







 9.    Rights as Shareholders. The Optionee shall have no
rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Option until the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates upon the exercise of the Option, and then only with respect to the shares of
Common Stock represented by such certificate or certificates. 

10.    Non-Transferability. The Option may not be transferred
in any manner other than as permitted in Section 13(j) of the Plan {by will or by the laws of descent and distribution}. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Optionee. 

{11.     Employment Agreement. In consideration for this Option, the Recipient reaffirms the terms of the
Recipient’s Employment Agreement with Employer, including but not limited to the provisions (if any) related to competition and solicitation. The Recipient further agrees that to the extent the nature of the Employer’s business has evolved
since the date of the Employment Agreement the covenants shall also apply to the business as evolved.} 
 11.    {12.}
Compliance with Securities, Tax and Other Law. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities
law or any other law or valid regulation. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee, or any person acquiring the right to exercise the Option, to make any representation or warranty that the Company deems to
be necessary under any applicable securities, tax, or other law or regulation. 
 12.    {13.} Adjustments upon Changes in
Capitalization. In the event of any change in the shares subject to the Plan or to any Option granted under the Plan by reason of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split,
combination or exchange of shares {of Common Stock}, or other change in the structure of the Company, the number of shares {of Common Stock} subject to each outstanding Option and/or the Option price with respect to the shares {of Common Stock}
shall be appropriately adjusted by the Company and such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 13.    {14.} No
Right to Employment. The granting of the Option does not confer upon the Optionee the right to continue in the Service of the Company {and/or the Employer}, or affect in any way the right and power of the Company {and/or
the Employer} to terminate the Service of the Optionee at any time with or without assigning a reason therefor, to the same extent as the Company {and/or the Employer} might have done if the Option had not been granted. 

14.    {15.} No Guarantee. The Company offers no guarantee or assurance that the Company’s stock
has any value at the time of this grant or will have any value or liquidity at any future time. 
 {16. Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and
Option. In accepting the Option, the Optionee acknowledges 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, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Option Agreement; 

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







 (c)    all decisions with respect to future Options, if any, will be at the
sole discretion of the Company; 
 (d)    the Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; 

(e)    the Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation for services of any kind rendered to the
Company or any Related Company, and which is outside the scope of the employment contract, if any; 
 (f)    the Option
is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or
retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Related Company; 

(g)    in the event that the Optionee is not an Employee of the Company or any Related Company, the Option and the
Optionee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or any Related Company; 

(h)    the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with any certainty;

 (i)    if you exercise your Option and obtain shares of Common Stock, the value of those shares of Common Stock
acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Option price; 
 (j)    in consideration of the
Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Option or from any diminution in value of the Option or shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option resulting from termination of the
Optionee’s service by the Company or any Related Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and any Related Company from any such claim that may arise;
if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing the Option Agreement, the Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Optionee’s entitlement to pursue
such claim; 
 (k)    in the event of termination of the Optionee’s Service (whether or not in breach of local
labor laws), the Optionee’s right to receive an Option and vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Optionee is no longer actively employed and 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); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no
longer actively employed for purposes of the Option; 
 (l)    the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial
advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock; and 

(m)    the Optionee is hereby advised to consult with the Optionee’s personal tax, legal and financial advisors
regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.} 







 {17. Data Privacy Notice and Consent. The Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously
consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Optionee’s personal data as described in this Option Agreement and any other Option grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its
Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. 

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

 The Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to a third party stock plan service provider(s) as may be selected
by the Company, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Optionee understands the recipients of the Data may be located in the Optionee’s country, in the United States or elsewhere,
and that the data recipients’ country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Optionee’s country. The Optionee understands that the Optionee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients
of the Data by contacting the Optionee’s local human resources representative. The Optionee authorizes the Company 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 the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that Data
will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that the Optionee 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 the Optionee’s local human resources representative. The Optionee understands, however,
that refusing or withdrawing the Optionee’s consent may affect the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Optionee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Optionee
understands that the Optionee may contact the Optionee’s local human resources representative.} 
 15.    {18.}
Amendment and Termination of Option. The Company may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Option, provided that the Recipient’s consent to such action shall be required unless it occurs pursuant to a
Sale of the Company or the Committee determines that the action would not materially and adversely affect the Recipient. 

16.    Standards Letter. In consideration for this Option, the Recipient reaffirms the terms of the
Recipient’s Standards Letter agreement with Pegasystems, including but not limited to the provisions related to competition and solicitation. The Recipient further agrees that to the extent the nature of the Company’s business has evolved
since the date of the Standards Letter the covenants shall also apply to the business as evolved. 

{19.    Language. If the Optionee has received this Option Agreement or any other document related to the Plan
translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.} 







 {20.    Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole
discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Option or future grants made under the Plan by electronic means or request that the Optionee consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Optionee 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.} 

17.    {21.} Governing Law and Venue. The Option Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law provisions thereof. 
 For
purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this Option or this Option Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, or the federal courts for the United States for the district of Massachusetts, and no other courts, where this grant of Options
is made and/or to be performed. 
 18.    {22.} Severability. In the event any one or more of the
provisions of the Option Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Option Agreement shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a
mutually acceptable provision, which being valid, legal and enforceable, comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. 

19.    {23.} Definitions. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan. 
 {24.    Exhibit B. Notwithstanding any provision herein, the
Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall be subject to any special terms and conditions as set forth in Exhibit B for the Optionee’s country of residence, if any. The Exhibit B constitutes part of this Option Agreement.} 







 {Exhibit B 

To Notice of Grant of Option and Option Agreement for Non-U.S. Employees 

This Exhibit B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Options granted to the Optionee if the Optionee resides in the countries contained
herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Notice of Grant of Option and Option Agreement for Non-U.S. Employees (of which this Exhibit B is a
part) or the Plan. 
 This Exhibit B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Optionee should be
aware with respect to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of December 2009, unless otherwise notated. Such laws are often
complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan
because the information may be out of date at the time the Optionee acquires shares of Common Stock or sells shares of Common Stock the Optionee acquires under the Plan. 

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to
assure the Optionee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Optionee is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Optionee’s country apply to the Optionee’s specific situation.

 If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of another country, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information
contained in this Exhibit B may not be applicable to the Optionee. 
 Australia 

Withholding 
 This provision supplements Section 8
(Withholding): 
 Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Optionee will provide the Company with their Australian Tax File Number (TFN) or Australian
Business Number (ABN). Failure to do so will result in the requirement for the Company to withhold Australian tax at the rate of 46.5%. 
 Reform to the
taxation of employee share schemes 
 With effect from 1 July 2009, Optionee share options shall be taxed upfront, unless there is a “real risk
of forfeiture”. Where there is a “real risk of forfeiture,” options shall generally be taxed at the earliest of: 
  

	 	•	 	Vesting of the option 

  

	 	•	 	Cessation of employment 

  

	 	•	 	7 years after grant 

 Canada 

Option Exercise 
 The paragraphs below replace
Section 2 (Option Exercise) of Exhibit A to the Option Agreement: 
 Once vested, the Option shall remain exercisable in whole or in part at any time
through and including the day immediately preceding the date set forth under the heading “Expiration” on the Option Agreement (the “Expiration Date”), after which the Option shall expire and no longer be exercisable. 







 The Option shall be exercisable by notice to the Company or the Company’s designated stock option
administrator, which shall: 
  

	(a)	state the election to exercise the Option and the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which it is being exercised, 

  

	(b)	be signed by the Optionee; and 

  

	(c)	if to the Company, be in writing and delivered in person or by certified mail to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company or, if to the Company’s designated stock option administrator, be in the manner and form
specified by such stock option administrator. 

 Payment of the full purchase price of any shares of Common Stock, with respect to which the
Option is being exercised, shall accompany the notice of exercise of the Option and such payment may be made in cash or check payable to the Company. Alternatively, the Optionee may elect to pay the full purchase price of any shares of Common Stock,
with respect to which the Option is being exercised, by having the Company withhold such number of shares of Common Stock as are equal in value to the full purchase price. The certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock as to which the
Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee. 
 For further clarity, any shares issued of the Common Stock of the Company upon
exercise of an Option shall be issued solely in the name of the Optionee and not in the name of any other person, including a person with whom the Optionee is dealing at non-arm’s length. 

Upon exercise of the Option, the Optionee shall receive shares of the Common Stock of the Company and under no circumstances shall the Administrator elect to
have the employee receive cash (or any other security) in lieu of the Common Stock of the Company. To this effect, section 13(e) of the Plan (and any other similar section) do not apply in Canada. 

Furthermore, at all times the Optionee should hold less than 10% of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company or any Related Company. 

Withholding 
 The paragraphs below replace Section 8
of Exhibit A to the Option Agreement: 
 Generally, there are Canadian requirements to withhold source deductions on stock options benefits. Although stock
options benefits are considered to be remuneration subject to source deductions, Canada recognizes that requiring additional withholding from cash payments, such as normal salary, as a result of a stock option benefit can create hardship for the
employee. This hardship will be created when either the benefit is very large in proportion to the employee’s normal salary or the option is exercised later in the year. As a result, employers may make withholdings from employees’ cash
remuneration to the extent possible, without imposing actual hardship. Where the non-cash benefit is the only form of income received from that employer, the employer will not be required to withhold tax on
the amount of such benefits. 
 Stock option benefits are also subject to social security taxes in Canada. These benefits are subject to Canada Pension Plan
withholdings but not Employment Insurance withholdings. The province of Ontario will also levy payroll taxes to fund the Canadian health service. 
 The
employment benefit and, if applicable, related 50% deduction will be reported on the Optionee T4 for the year in which the tradable options are exercised or sold. The Optionee must report these amounts on his or her individual income tax return for
the same year. 
 If the Optionee qualifies and elects to defer a part of the employment benefit arising on exercise to the date of sale, the employer (i.e.
the Related Company) will report the deferred benefit on the T4 slip in the year of exercise, however the benefit will not be included in income for that year. The Optionee must 







 
complete and file Form T1212, “Statement of Deferred Security Option Benefits” with his or her federal tax return for each year in which arises a balance of deferred benefit
outstanding. In the year the Optionee sells the shares, the Optionee must report the deferred benefit on his or her tax return.

 France 
 This information is
correct as of November 2011. 
 Exchange Control Information 

If the Optionee retains Shares outside of France or maintains a foreign bank account, the Optionee is required to report such to the French tax authorities
when filing his or her annual tax return. 
 Germany 

Exchange Control Information 
 Cross-border payments in
excess of €12,500 must be reported monthly to the German Federal Bank. If the Optionee uses a German bank to transfer a cross-border payment in excess of €12,500 in connection with the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the
Plan, the bank will make the report for the Optionee. In addition, the Optionee must report any receivables or payables or debts in foreign currency exceeding €5,000,000 on a monthly basis. 

Hong Kong 
 Obligation to report the share
option gains to the tax authority 
 The Optionee is obliged to declare the gains realized by the exercise, assignment or release of the share options to
the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (“IRD”) in their Individual Tax Return for the year of assessment in which the share options are exercised, assigned or released. If the Optionee is eligible to lodge any offshore non-taxable claim on their share option gains, the Optionee is required to lodge such claim in their Individual Tax Return. Therefore, it is the Optionee’s responsibility to prove to the satisfaction of the IRD
on their non-taxable claim lodged with documentary evidence in support. 
 Reporting requirement 

Upon the commencement of Hong Kong employment/assignment of the Optionee, the Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) is obliged to file the
Commencement Notice (Form IR 56E) for reporting the term of employment and share options details to the IRD within 3 months from the date of commencement of employment. Annual Employer’s Return (Form IR 56B) is required to be filed to the IRD
by end of April to report the remuneration paid/accrued to the Optionee, including the share option gains, for each year ended 31 March. Further to the filing of the said Forms, the IRD will normally create








 
a tax file for the Optionee and issue the annual Individual Tax Return to the Optionee (usually in May) to ascertain their tax position. If there is no Individual Tax Return issued by the IRD to
the Optionee for reporting the share option gain in the year of exercise, the Optionee is obliged to voluntarily inform the IRD on this tax chargeability arising from the exercise as well as other Hong Kong taxable employment income within four
months after the end of the basis period during which the year of assessment is concerned (i.e. the informing deadline is 31 July given the fiscal year ends on 31 March). 

Leaving Hong Kong 
 If the share option is only exercised,
assigned or released after the Optionee permanently departs from Hong Kong, the Employer should report the share option gains by filing the Departure Notice (Form IR 56G) and provide a copy for the Optionee. The Optionee also needs to
discharge their voluntary informing chargeability obligation as mentioned above not later than 4 months after the end of the year of assessment in which the share option gains are derived. Even if the Employer fails to submit the Departure Notice to
report the taxable share option gain, the Optionee still needs to comply with their own reporting obligation. 
 In order to assist with finalizing the
salary-related tax liabilities prior to permanent departure, the Optionee is allowed, as a concession, to elect to have the tax liabilities finalized on the basis of a notional exercise of the share options. The notional gain is calculated on the
basis as if the options had been exercised on a day within 7 days before the date of submission of the Optionee’s tax return for the final year of assessment in which the Optionee departs. As a further concession, the IRD is prepared to accept
an election made within 3 months from the date of departure from Hong Kong if no election has been made before departure. In this case, the date of departure will be taken as the date of notional exercise for the purpose of calculating the gain.

 An election once made cannot be withdrawn before the actual exercise, assignment or release, except: 

 

	 	(i)	within the objection period of the assessment in which the gain of the notional exercise is included; or 

  

	 	(ii)	total forfeiture of the options with no replacement or compensation before the actual exercise. 

 If it
transpires that the gain in respect of the actual exercise, assignment or release is less than the amount assessed in respect of the notional exercise, the IRD has indicated in its Departmental Interpretation and Practice Note that they will
favorably consider any application for appropriate amendment and re-assessment. 
 Withholding 

The paragraphs below supplement Section 8 (Withholding) of Exhibit A to the Option Agreement. 

The Employer is not required to withhold the Optionee’s share option gains unless the Optionee permanently departs from Hong Kong. The Employer is
statutorily required to withhold money payment from the Optionee for a period of one month after the Departure Notification (Form IR 56G) was filed to the IRD, unless consent (by the issue of a Letter of Release to the employer with a copy to the
Optionee after they have settled all their tax liabilities) is given by the IRD. Hence, if the Optionee derives share option gains and there is money paid to them by the Employer, the Employer has the withholding obligation. 







 India 

Exchange Control Information 
 As per the foreign exchange
laws (“regulations”) in India, there are no restrictions on the amount of remittances that the Optionee can make for acquiring Options provided that the following conditions are fulfilled: 

 

	1.	The Company issuing the shares effectively, directly or indirectly, holds in the Indian company, whose employees / directors are being offered shares, not less than 51% of its equity, and 


 

	2.	The shares under the Plan are offered by the issuing company globally on a uniform basis (with the same terms and with the same rights). 


Ireland 
 Restriction on Types of Shares Issued
to Directors 
 If the Optionee is a director or shadow director of an Irish Subsidiary, the Optionee’s Options will be paid in newly issued shares
of Common Stock only. In no event will the Options be settled in treasury shares. 
 Director Notification Requirement 

If the Optionee is a director, shadow director or secretary of an Irish Subsidiary, the Optionee must notify the Irish Subsidiary in writing within five
business days of receiving or disposing of an interest in the Company (e.g., Options, shares of Common Stock, etc.), or within five business days of becoming aware of the event giving rise to the notification requirement, or within five
business days of becoming a director or secretary if such an interest exists at the time. This notification requirement also applies with respect to the interests of a spouse or minor children (whose interests will be attributed to the director,
shadow director or secretary). 
 Italy 
 This
information is correct as of August 2011. 
 Purpose 

The Plan is discretionary in nature and is offered only to individual employees and/or specific categories of employees. 

Nature of Plan 
 This provision supplements
Section 11 (Acknowledgement of Nature of Plan and Option) of Exhibit A to the Option Agreement: 
 The Optionee understands that the Company has
unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the
express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or any Related Company. Consequently, the Optionee understands that the Option is granted on the assumption and condition that the Option and any shares of Common Stock
acquired upon exercise of the Option are not a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Related Company) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other
right whatsoever. Further, the Optionee understands that the Optionee will not be entitled to continue vesting in any Option once the Optionee’s Service with the Company or any Related Company ceases. In addition, the Option understands that
this grant would not be made to the Optionee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Optionee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be
met for any reason, then any grant of or right to the Option shall be null and void. 
 It is a condition of participation in the Plan that the Optionee
expressly agrees to the terms of the Plan, including the provisions in this Exhibit B. 







 Options Payable Only in Shares of Common Stock 

Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything contrary in the Option Agreement, if the Optionee is resident in Italy, the grant of Options does not
provide any right for the Optionee to receive a cash payment and the Options are payable in shares of Common Stock only. 
 Securities Reporting 

Individuals in Italy are required to report assets held abroad on their annual tax returns (Form RW) if the value of such assets exceeds 10,000 Euros at the
end of the calendar year. The Italian tax authorities have taken the position that vested Stock Options in a foreign company are considered ‘assets held abroad’. 

Employees must therefore also report vested Stock Options in their annual tax returns (Form Unico, Schedule RW) if the threshold is exceeded. 

In addition, employees must report in Section III of Form RW the transfer of money exceeding 10,000 Euros: 

 

	 	•	 	From Italy to another jurisdiction; 

  

	 	•	 	From another jurisdiction to Italy; 

  

	 	•	 	Between non-Italian jurisdictions, if the transfer relates to investments held overseas. 


This also applies to transfers to countries that have adopted the Euro. 

Japan 
 This information is correct as of August
2009. 
 Exchange Control Information 
 Although there
are no restrictions on the transfer of funds outside Japan, certain reporting obligations to the tax authorities or the Ministry of Finance may be required. 

Optionees must notify the Ministry of Finance of share purchases in excess of 30,000,000 Yen. An additional notification is required for purchase of shares
with a value in excess of 100,000,000 Yen. 
 Japanese banks including Japanese branches of foreign banks have to report transfers of funds of more than
1,000,000 Yen in and out of Japan to the government automatically. Sometimes the tax authorities check individual tax returns to these records. 

Netherlands 
 By participating in the Plan the
Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee’s Options can cease to vest on termination of employment under the terms of the Plan. It is a condition of participation in the Plan that the Optionee agrees to these terms.

 Withholding 

This provision supplements Section 8 Withholding. The Employer is required to report on the employee share scheme benefit in its Employer Monthly Schedule
as the benefit accrues to the Optionee. However, the Employer has the choice as to whether or not it deducts tax on the employee share scheme benefit – unless the Employer elects to do this, the obligation to return the tax on the benefit (and
file a return including the same) remains with the Optionee. Further, reforms to the tax rules applicable to employee shares schemes have been proposed, which may alter how the benefit is calculated and when the taxing point(s) arises. Going
forward, Optionees will need to monitor these developments. 
 Poland 

Securities reporting

 Singapore 

Leaving Singapore

Optionees who are foreign citizens or are Singapore Permanent residents leaving Singapore permanently are taxed on a “deemed exercise” basis for any options or units or shares granted or issued during Singapore employment. This would also

 As per the deemed exercise rule, all
Options, units, or stock which have been granted during Singapore employment are deemed to have been exercised, irrespective whether the Options have vested or not. The taxable value is the difference between the fair market value (which would be
the fair market value one month prior to the date of departure) and the exercise price. 
 Director withholding 

Independent Directors who are Non Resident in Singapore and have received Options by virtue of their being on the Board of the Singapore Company will be
subject to tax in Singapore and liable for tax withholding.

 Acknowledgment
of Nature of Plan and Option 
 The paragraphs below are added to Section 16 (Acknowledgement of Nature of Plan and Option) of Exhibit A to the
Option Agreement: 
 The Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, and discretionally decided to grant Options under the Plan to individuals
who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. 
 The Company has the absolute right to decide whether or not Options shall
be granted to an employee. Within its absolute discretion, the Company may in particular take into account (i) the financial results of the Company, of the department for which the Employee works as well as of the stand-alone financial results
of the Company, and (ii) the individual performance as well as the behavior of the Employee during the financial period. Even though Options have been granted to an Employee at several occasions, whether consecutive or not, the Employee may not
infer any entitlement to any future grant of Options. The grant of Options is conditional upon the employment agreement not having been unilaterally terminated. 

The grant of Options is entirely discretionary and does not create any obligation upon the Company to pay future bonus even though the Employee receives
Options at several consecutive occasions. No pro rate amount will be paid. 
 The Optionee acknowledges that the Options are given with his full agreement
instead of an extraordinary cash bonus and that he has no right to be granted further Options. 
 Withholding 

The paragraphs below replace Section 8 (Withholding) of Exhibit A to the Option Agreement: 

The Optionee shall be exclusively responsible for getting advice and obtaining any and all information about the tax consequences in connection with the Plan,
in particular with the promise to grant, the grant, the holding and the exercise of Options, as well as with the issuance and transfer of Shares. 







 Any social contributions levied at the promise to grant, at the grant or at exercise of the Options, and at the
delivery and transfer of shares shall be borne by the Company and the Optionee as provided by law. 
 The Optionee shall bear any and all the
Employee’s withholdings (including but not limited to tax and social security) related to the grant or the exercise of Options, and shall reimburse to the Company any such tax and social security which may have been paid by the Company.
However, the stamp duty on issuance of the Shares shall be borne by the Company. 
 As long as the Options are not tradable, the taxable benefit at the time
the Options are vested corresponds to the difference between the market value of the option and the strike price. 
 The Company may withhold from any
amounts due to the Optionee any sums which the Company is or will be required by applicable law to pay on behalf of the Optionee in respect of taxes or social security (including withholding taxes). The amounts that the Company is entitled to
withhold for that purpose from amounts due to the Optionee who is an Employee of the Company are subject to applicable mandatory employment law provisions. 

The Company is entitled to retain the Shares resulting from the exercise of the Options as long as, and to the extent, the Company has not been reimbursed (or
has not been provided with guarantees for such reimbursement) by the Participant for any amount the Company paid on behalf of the Optionee in respect of taxes or social security. 

Termination of Service 
 The paragraph below is added to
Section 3 (Termination of Service) of Exhibit A to the Option Agreement: 
 If the employment agreement between the Optionee and the Company is
terminated by the Company for just cause as referred to by article 337 CO so as to justify immediate termination of service, all Options held by the Participant exercisable or not, shall be automatically forfeited at the date of termination of
service. The Company shall have no further obligation as from that date with regard to the Optionee under the Long-Term Incentive Plan or the Option Agreement.

 Obligation to Request for Approval on Remittance of Subscription Price Abroad and Declaration of Dividends Received 

Foreign Exchange Control 
 Approval on Remittance of
Subscription Price Abroad: In principle, the Bank of Thailand (“BOT”) approval is not required unless the value of the shares subscribed by the employees exceeds US$1,000,000. 

For any foreign currency transaction effected with the authorized juristic person with a value of US$50,000 or equivalent, the foreign currency transaction
form must be submitted, referring to the reference number and the date stipulated in the BOT approval letter. However, in the case the subscription price to be remitted abroad is below US$1,000,000, the authorized juristic person (local bank) is
authorized by the BOT to approve such transaction itself. 
 Approval on Declaration of Dividends Received: Generally, once the dividend payment is
declared, the employees must immediately remit such dividend into Thailand, otherwise the BOT approval for this is required. Thus, should the dividend will be re-invested or used for other purpose according to
the plan, 







 
the approval from BOT must be obtained in advance. Local company may consider applying for BOT approval for both remittance of subscription price abroad and declaration of dividends received by
the same application for time-saving.  
 After prescribed period (lock-up period), unless otherwise provided
in the plan and subject to the BOT approval, the dividends and other compensations received under the plan must be remitted into Thailand immediately. 

Personal Income Tax 
 Tax on Dividends 

Dividends will also be subject to taxation when such dividends are actually received by employees. Similarly, dividends are subject to tax at progressive
income rates ranging from 5% to 35% depending on the amount of income taxable. 
 Tax on Capital Gains 

Capital gains (defined as the difference between the redemption proceeds and the subscription price/ value of share) are taxed at progressive income rates of
5% to 35%. No employee or employer social charges apply. 
 Employees must file a tax return by March 31 of the calendar year following the calendar
year in which the income was received. Applicable taxes are not withheld by the employer. 
 Turkey 

This information is correct as of April 2017. 
 Tax
Obligations of the Optionees 
 There are no specific rules are regulated under Turkish tax legislation regarding the stock options. Under the general
tax provisions, share options are taxable as employment income at the time of their exercise. Additionally, under certain circumstances, Optionees might be subject to stamp tax and some social security contributions. 

The gain arising on the sale of the shares must be declared on the Optionee’s annual income tax return and will be subject to income tax at the
Optionee’s applicable rate. There is an income tax exemption for a certain amount of gains in a calendar year but this exemption does not apply to the sale of marketable securities. 

The Income Tax Law describes employment income as benefits paid in cash, in-kind or other ways, represented by money
for services rendered, to persons employed by an employer and working at a certain workplace (Article 61). This definition includes all non-cash benefits provided and payments made (including allowance,
compensation, cash indemnity, funds, increase, advance, dues, attendance fee, premium, bonus and reimbursement or under any other names). Payment as a certain percentage of earnings (provided it is not related to an ownership of a company and
related to the employment of the concerned personnel) must also be included under this definition and considered as employment income. 
 The taxable event
for employment income is triggered once the Optionee legally and economically has the right to dispose of the benefit or payment. Income tax is imposed upon exercise on any “spread” on the shares, which is the excess of the fair market
value of the shares on the exercise date, over the aggregate exercise price paid. 
 The benefit (that is, the difference between the shares’ price at
grant and value at vesting) is subject to withholding tax and must be declared by the Turkish resident company in the withholding tax return (Article 94, Income Tax Law). The income tax rate is applied at progressive rates ranging between 15% and
35%.

United Kingdom 
 Withholding 

The paragraphs below replace Section 8 (Withholding) of Exhibit A to the Option Agreement: 

Regardless of any action the Company or the Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, primary and
secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding attributable to or payable in connection with or pursuant to the grant, vesting, exercise, release or
assignment of any Option (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Optionee is
and remains the Optionee’s responsibility. Furthermore, 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 Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the
grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. 
 As
a condition of any Options becoming exercisable and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Options, the Company and/or the Employer shall be entitled to withhold and the Optionee agrees to pay, or make adequate arrangements
satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy, all obligations of the Company and/or the Employer to account to HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) for any Tax-Related Items by the
Due Date, which is 90 days, or such other period as required under U.K. law, after the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items (the “Chargeable Event”). In this regard, except as provided in the
next sentence, such payment shall be made by means of the Company withholding and/or reacquiring a number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Options having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of
Tax-Related Items that the Company determines it or the Employer is required to account to HMRC under applicable tax laws with respect to the Options (with such obligation determined based on any applicable
minimum statutory withholding rates). In the event that the Company cannot (under applicable legal, regulatory, listing or other requirements, or otherwise) satisfy such obligation in such method, the Company may satisfy its entitlement to withhold
under this 







 
Option Agreement by either or a combination of the following methods: (i) by requiring the Optionee to pay such amount in cash or check; and/or (ii) by deducting such amount out of any
other compensation otherwise payable to the Optionee. For these purposes, the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock to be withheld or repurchased, as applicable, shall be determined on the date that
Tax-Related Items are to be determined. 
 The Optionee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to account to HMRC with respect to the Chargeable Event that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. If payment or withholding is not
made by the Due Date, the Optionee agrees that the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items shall (assuming the Optionee is not a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section
13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)), constitute a loan owed by the Optionee to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. The Optionee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current HMRC Official Rate and
it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to above. If any of the foregoing methods of collection are not allowed under Applicable Laws or if the
Optionee fails to comply with the Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section, the Company may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock acquired under
the Plan. 
 Joint Election 
 As a condition to
exercising the Options, the Optionee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions (the “Employer’s Liability”) which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with
the Options and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items. To accomplish the foregoing, the Optionee agrees to execute a joint election with the Company (the “Election”), the form of such Election
being formally approved by HMRC, and any other consent or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer’s Liability to the Optionee. The Optionee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between
the Optionee and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer. If the Optionee does not enter into the Election when the Optionee accepts the Option Agreement or when otherwise requested by the Company and/or Employer, or if the Election is
revoked at any time by HMRC, the Optionee will not be entitled to exercise the Option unless the Optionee agree to pay an amount equal to the Employer’s Liability to the Company, the Employer and/or any Related Company. The Optionee further
agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer’s Liability by any of the means set forth in the Withholding section of the Option Agreement.}
