particularly in that of consultancy, the Accenture Group has been implementing, on a global basis,
important salary measures intended to increase the level of employee loyalty through the
implementation of incentives linked to share option schemes, on the one hand, and fostering of
performance linked remuneration, on the other hand, which to a greater or lesser degree affect the
remuneration systems of all the groups making up the payroll of the Accenture Group in Spain.



II.- Both parties acknowledge that, in the event of employees holding a category of
Director/Partner, a more comprehensive salary change is required in order to adapt to the new
remuneration models applied on a global scale and to the current situation in the consultancy
market.



 









 





IV- Likewise, it is of mutual interest for both parties to amend their labor agreement, cancelling
and replacing in whole the existing one, which they carry out in accordance with the following




CLAUSES




FIRST.- This labor agreement shall be effective as of the date of signature hereof.



SECOND.- The EMPLOYEE shall render services to the COMPANY at the work center in Barcelona,
holding the category of Director/Partner, and performing, among others, the following tasks:
planning, coordination, overview and control of the work developed under his direction and in his
area of activity, over the group of workers assigned to such area of activity, and more
particularly, those of client relations and entering into consultancy agreements, as well as any
others which, being consistent with his professional category, he may be requested to perform,
adhering in his conduct to the Company policies and guidelines



THIRD.- The working hours shall be forty hours per week in average, calculated on an
annual basis, according to the working calendar of the company and complying in any event with the

calendar days per year and it shall be fixed in consultation with the COMPANY.



FOURTH.- With effects as of           , the EMPLOYEE’s remuneration package

installments, shall receive the EMPLOYEE monthly in arrears. The gross annual base
salary at the date hereof is of EUR          .




Performance Salary, supplemental wages based on activity, performance and
permanence. This element shall be considered as variable salary earned by performance
years and does not create vested rights. It shall accrue month by month, and is
therefore linked to the EMPLOYEE remaining employed with the COMPANY. In no event
shall performance salaries accrue or may these be claimed by the EMPLOYEE with respect
to months subsequent to the termination of the EMPLOYEE’s employment with the COMPANY,
irrespective of the grounds for such termination. Payment of performance salary
may be

the internal policies of the Accenture group, and shall be applied with effects as of
December 1st of each year, accruing on a monthly basis as from such date until
November 30th of the following year.



In addition, the EMPLOYEE may receive a variable compensation not creating vested rights, in the
form of a bonus, to be determined on the basis of criteria established in the internal policies of
the COMPANY and linked to achieving business targets and results. The granting of said bonus shall
create an entitlement for the EMPLOYEE to receive it solely and exclusively on the year for which
it is established, and shall not bind the COMPANY for subsequent years.

the terms and conditions foreseen in the COMPANY’s policies for the groups of employees of the
COMPANY.

otherwise and whether on his own behalf or on behalf of others, which may be in competition with
the activity of the COMPANY or any of its businesses, or which may have a bearing on the company’s
interests. Upon signing this agreement, the EMPLOYEE represents and warrants that he is in
compliance with said obligation, and is not involved, in any of the above mentioned forms, in any
competing business or activity.

information as the COMPANY may require for the purposes of determining the existence of eventual

unfair dismissal under section 56 of the aforementioned Workers’ Statute. For the above purposes,
and considering that the EMPLOYEE has been providing services to the COMPANY or to one or other of
the companies in the group since           , his seniority shall be calculated
taking into account the whole of the period in which the EMPLOYEE has provided services in any of
the group companies, save for the period in which he has been a partner of the company Accenture
