There are four exercise methods from which to choose.  Due to local legal requirements, not all methods are available in all countries.

	
Withholding
	
You acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”) in connection with any aspect of the Options, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

You may not transfer these Options, except by will or laws of descent and distribution.  The Options are exercisable during your lifetime only by you or your guardian or legal representative.

sf-3732478 




	
Severability
	
The provisions of this 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.

	
Waiver
	
You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other participant.

	
Appendix
	
Notwithstanding any provisions in these Award Terms, the Options shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement and to any special terms and provisions as set forth in Appendix B for your country, if any.

APPENDIX A

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Options.  These terms and conditions are in addition to, or, if so indicated, in place of, the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Terms.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Award Terms or the Plan.


	
Data Privacy
	
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 Agreement and any other Option grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that the Company and the Employer may 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 (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

You understand that Data will be transferred to any third parties 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 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, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, the Employer 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.

amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consent herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative.  Further, you understand that you are providing the consent 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 consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you Options or other awards or administer or maintain such awards (i.e., the award would be null and void).  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.

Each of the parties hereby represents and agrees that such party is subject to the personal jurisdiction of said courts; hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts in any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which such party may now or hereafter have that the laying of the venue of any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute which is brought in such courts is improper or that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.

automatically result in the loss of the Options that may have been granted to you and that have not vested on the date of termination.

In particular, you understand and agree that any unvested Options as of your termination date and any vested Options not exercised within the period set forth in the Award Terms following your termination date will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Stock or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination by reason of, including, but not limited to: 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, “despido improcedente,” 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.

Furthermore, you understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant the Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates over and above the specific terms set forth in this Agreement.  Consequently, you understand that the Options are granted on the assumption and condition that the Options and the shares of Stock issued upon exercise shall not become a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  In addition, you understand that the grant of the Options would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept 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 to you of the Options shall be null and void.

Securities Law Information.  The Options and the shares of Stock described in this Agreement 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 Agreement has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

Responsibility for Taxes.  This provision supplements the Withholding section of the Award Terms:

If payment or withholding of income tax is not made within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the liability for income tax occurs (the “Due Date”) or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective on the Due Date.  You agree that the loan will bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Withholding section.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), you will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax liability.  In the event that you are a director or executive officer and income tax is not collected from or paid by you by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax 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 and national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer for any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Withholding section.
