ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENT
    
1.Termination of Employment; Change of Control.  


1.1Termination of Employment. Except as provided in Section 1.2 or 1.3 below, any unvested Options subject to this Agreement shall immediately terminate and be automatically forfeited by the Optionee to the Company upon the termination of the Optionee’s Active Status with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company for any reason (as further described in Section 5(n) below), including without limitation, voluntary termination by the Optionee, or termination by the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company because of Misconduct.
1.2    Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, the vesting of the Options shall accelerate, and the Options shall become fully vested and exercisable to the extent and under the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan; provided, that for purposes of this Section, “Resignation (or Resign) for Good Reason” shall have the following meaning: 
“Resignation (or Resign) for Good Reason” shall mean any voluntary termination by written resignation of the Active Status of an Optionee after a Change of Control because of: (1) a material reduction in the Partner’s authority, responsibilities or scope of employment; (2) an assignment of duties to the Partner materially inconsistent with the Partner’s role at the Company (including its Subsidiaries and affiliates) prior to the Change of Control, (3) a material reduction in the Partner’s base salary or total incentive compensation; (4) a material reduction in the Partner’s benefits unless such reduction applies to all Partners of comparable rank; or (5) the relocation of the Partner’s primary work location more than 50 miles from the Partner’s primary work location prior to the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Optionee shall not be deemed 


Page 1 of 16
Global Key Employee Option Agreement









to have Resigned for Good Reason unless the Optionee, within one year after a Change of Control, (i) notifies the Company of the existence of the condition giving rise to a Resignation for Good Reason within 90 days of the initial existence of such condition, (ii) gives the Company at least 30 days following the date on which the Company receives such notice (and prior to termination) in which to remedy the condition, and (iii) if the Company does not remedy such condition within such 30-day period, actually terminates employment within 60 days after the expiration of such 30-day period (and before the Company remedies such condition). If the Company remedies such condition within such 30-day period (or at any time prior to the Optionee’s actual termination), then any Resignation for Good Reason by the Optionee on account of such condition will not be a Resignation for Good Reason. 
1.3    Death, Disability or Retirement.  If the Optionee’s Active Status terminates due to death, Disability or Retirement, any unvested Options shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable as of the date of termination of Active Status due to death, Disability or Retirement.  


2.Misconduct.  As a condition to receiving and becoming eligible to vest and exercise the Options, the Optionee hereby agrees not to engage in Misconduct.  


3.Clawback.  If the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Optionee has engaged in Misconduct, the Optionee agrees and covenants that (a) any unexercised portion of the Options shall be immediately forfeited as of the date the Company determines that the Optionee has engaged in Misconduct (the “Determination Date”); (b) if any part of the Options were exercised prior to the Determination Date, upon the Company’s demand, the Optionee shall immediately deliver to the Company (i) the Shares that the Optionee acquired upon exercise of such Options and (ii) to the extent any such Shares were previously sold by the Optionee, a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value as of the Determination Date of the Shares contemplated to be returned to the Company under this clause; and (c) the foregoing remedies set forth in this Section 3 shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedies, which shall include, among other remedies, injunctive relief and damages that may be available to the Company.  The Company reserves all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity.


4.Responsibility for Taxes.  Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, the Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any 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 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 the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Optionee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, he or she 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 exercise of the Options or any other relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee must pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, in their sole discretion, to satisfy their withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: 


		
	(a)
	withholding from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; or




		
	(b)
	withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Options, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), to the extent and in the manner permitted by 




Page 2 of 16
Global Key Employee Option Agreement









all applicable securities laws, including making any necessary securities registration or taking any other necessary actions; or


		
	(c)
	withholding in whole Shares to be issued at exercise of the Options based on the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares on the date the withholding obligation arises, in an amount equal to the aggregate withholding obligation as determined by the Company and/or the Employer with respect to such Options.




Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, to the extent authorized under the Plan, in which case the Optionee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. In the event the Tax-Related Items withholding obligation would result in a fractional number of Shares to be withheld by the Company, such number of shares to be withheld shall be rounded up to the next nearest number of whole Shares. If, due to rounding of Shares, the value of the number of shares retained by the Company pursuant to this provision is more than the amount required to be withheld, then the Company may pay such excess amount to the relevant tax authority as additional withholding with respect to the Optionee.  
    
Finally, the Optionee is required to 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 his or her participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. The Optionee shall have no further rights with respect to any Shares that are retained by the Company pursuant to this provision, and under no circumstances will the Company be required to issue any fractional Shares.


5.Nature of Grant.  In accepting the grant of the Options, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
		
	(a)
	the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;




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




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




		
	(d)
	the Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service relationship with the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, as applicable, to terminate his or her employment or service relationship, if any; 




		
	(e)
	the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; 




		
	(f)
	the Options and the Shares subject to the Options, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;




		
	(g)
	the Options and the Shares subject to the Options, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of calculating any severance, 




Page 3 of 16
Global Key Employee Option Agreement









resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments; 


		
	(h)
	unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Options and the Shares subject to the Options, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service that the Optionee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;




		
	(i)
	the future value of the Shares subject to the Options is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty; 




		
	(j)
	if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Options will have no value; 




		
	(k)
	if the Optionee exercises the Option and acquires Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value even below the Exercise Price; 




		
	(l)
	after termination of the Optionee’s Active Status, the Optionee is no longer eligible to receive any new options under the Plan;




		
	(m)
	no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Options resulting from termination of the Optionee’s Active Status (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or providing services or the terms of the Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any); 




		
	(n)
	for purposes of the Options, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Optionee’s Active Status will be considered terminated as of the date the Optionee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or providing services or the terms of the Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any), and, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, (i) the Optionee’s right to vest in the Options under the Plan, if any will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Optionee’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or providing services or the terms of the Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any), and (ii) the period (if any) during which the Optionee may exercise the Options after termination of the Optionee’s Active Status will commence on such date and will not be extended by any notice period under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or providing services or the terms of the Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee’s Active Status for purposes of the Option grant is terminated (including whether the Optionee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);




		
	(o)
	unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock; and




		
	(p)
	the following provisions apply only if the Optionee is providing services outside the United States:




(1)the Option and the Shares subject to the Option, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and


(2)neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local 


Page 4 of 16
Global Key Employee Option Agreement









currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Options or of any amounts due to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Options or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise.


6.Method of Payment.  The permissible methods of payment of consideration for any Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be (i) a request that the Company or the designated brokerage firm conduct a cashless exercise of the Option and (ii) cash.    


7.No Advice Regarding Grant.  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. The Optionee should 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.


8.Data Privacy.  The Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Option grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company, and its other Subsidiaries and affiliates 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, e-mail address, date of birth, social insurance number (to the extent permitted under applicable local law) passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration 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 or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  


The Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC, 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 recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and each recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Optionee’s country. If the Optionee resides outside the United States, the Optionee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting his or her local partner resources representative. The Optionee authorizes the Company, Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC 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 Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the Optionee may elect to deposit any Shares received upon exercise of the Options. 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. If the Optionee resides outside the United States, the Optionee may, at any time, view Data, request 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 his or her local partner resources representative. Further, the Optionee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Optionee does not consent, or if the Optionee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Optionee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Options or other equity awards to the Optionee or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Optionee understands that refusal or withdrawal of 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 he or she may contact his or her local partner resources representative.


9.Governing Law/Choice of Venue.  The Options and the provisions of this Agreement are governed by, and subject to, the laws of the State of Washington, as provided in the Plan, without regard for its conflict of laws provisions. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and

consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Washington, agree that such litigation shall be conducted exclusively in the courts of King County, or the federal courts of the United States for the 9th Circuit, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.


10.Compliance with Law.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares issuable upon exercise of the Options prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. Further, the Optionee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement without the Optionee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of shares.


11.Language.  If the Optionee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.


12.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.  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 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.


13.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.


14.Undertakings.  The Optionee hereby agrees to take whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either the Optionee or the Option pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.


15.Restrictions on Transfer.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Options granted pursuant to this Award may not be sold, pledged (as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation or for any other purpose), assigned, hypothecated, transferred, disposed of in exchange for consideration, made subject to attachment or similar proceedings, or otherwise disposed of under any circumstances, except that the Options may be transferred (i) by will or by laws of descent and distribution applicable to a deceased Optionee, (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order, (iii) to the extent permitted by the Board or Committee, to one or more of the beneficiaries on a Company-approved form who may exercise the Option after the Optionee’s death; and/or (iv) by gift to a Family Member of the Optionee.  For purposes of this Section 15, a “Family Member” shall include any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing an Optionee’s household (other than a tenant or an employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent (50%) of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or an Optionee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or an Optionee) own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests.


16.Appendix A.  Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Options shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix A for the Optionee’s country. Moreover, if the Optionee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix A, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Optionee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for 


Page 6 of 16
Global Key Employee Option Agreement









legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix A constitutes part of this Global Key Employee Stock Option Grant Agreement.


17.Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on the Options and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Optionee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings (as provided in Section 14 above) that may necessary to accomplish the foregoing.


18.Waiver.  If the Optionee breaches or otherwise does not comply with any provision of this Agreement, but the Company does not act upon this breach or non-compliance and continues to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, this shall not mean that the Company waives any other provision of this Agreement or will otherwise permit any further breach of or non-compliance with any provision of this Agreement.  


19.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws.  The Optionee acknowledges that, depending on the applicable jurisdiction, the Optionee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Optionee’s ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., Options) under the Plan during such times as the Optionee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdiction). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. The Optionee acknowledges that it is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Optionee should consult with the Optionee’s own personal legal and financial advisors on this matter before taking any action related to the Plan.


20.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting; Exchange Controls.  The Optionee’s country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and/or exchange controls which may affect the Optionee’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Optionee’s country. The Optionee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Optionee also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. The Optionee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Optionee should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.


Finally, the Company hereby strongly recommends that the Optionee seek the advice of a personal tax and/or legal advisor to obtain specific information concerning the tax and other legal consequences associated with the Options.

APPENDIX A 
TO
STARBUCKS CORPORATION
GLOBAL KEY EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT
FOR PURCHASE OF STOCK UNDER THE 
2005 LONG-TERM EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Appendix A but defined in the Global Key Employee Stock Option Grant Agreement, the Plan or any applicable country-specific sub-plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan, any applicable country-specific sub-plan and/or the Global Key Employee Stock Option Grant Agreement (the “Key Employee Option Agreement”).
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Appendix A, which is part of the Key Employee Option Agreement, includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Options to purchase Shares under the Plan and that will apply to the Optionee if he or she is in one of the countries listed below.
If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Date of Grant, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the additional terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Optionee under these circumstances.
NOTIFICATIONS
This Appendix A also includes information regarding exchange control and certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2017. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because such information may be outdated when the Optionee exercises the Options and/or sells any Shares acquired at exercise.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation. As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of any particular result. The Optionee therefore should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Optionee’s situation.
Finally, if the Optionee is a citizen or resident or a country other than that in which he or she is currently residing and/or working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Date of Grant, the information contained herein may not be applicable in the same manner to the Optionee.
ALL COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE U.S.
Method of Payment.  Notwithstanding Section 7(b) of the Plan or Section 6 of the Key Employee Option Agreement, due to legal restrictions outside the United States, the consideration for any Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options may not be paid by the tender of Shares owned by the Optionee.
EUROPEAN UNION

AUSTRALIA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Compliance with Law.  Notwithstanding anything in the Key Employee Option Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the Optionee will not be entitled to, and shall not claim, any benefit under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits.  Further, the Employer is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders in general meeting for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.
NOTIFICATIONS
Tax Information.  The Plan is a plan to which subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to conditions in the Act).
Securities Law Information.  If the Optionee acquires shares of Common Stock under the Plan and subsequently offers such shares for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law.  The Optionee should obtain legal advice as to his or her disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer.
Exchange Control Information.  Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding AUD10,000 and for international fund transfers.  If an Australian bank is assisting with the transaction, the bank will file the report on behalf of the Optionee.
AUSTRIA
NOTIFICATIONS
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  If the Optionee holds Shares acquired under the Plan outside of Austria, the Optionee may be required to submit a report to the Austrian National Bank. An exemption applies if the value of the Shares as of any given quarter does not meet or exceed €30,000,000 or as of December 31 does not meet or exceed €5,000,000. If the former threshold is exceeded, quarterly obligations are imposed and need to be complied with by the 15th day of the month following the end of the respective quarter, whereas if the latter threshold is exceeded, annual reports must be given. The annual reporting date is December 31 and the deadline for filing the annual report is January 31 of the following year.  
When the Optionee sells Shares acquired under the Plan, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash proceeds are held outside of Austria. If the transaction volume of all accounts abroad meets or exceeds €10,000,000, the movements and balances of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month, on the prescribed form (Meldungen SI-Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichtungen).

Les parties reconnaissent avoir expressement souhaité que cette Convention, ainsi que tous les documents, avis et procédures judiciaries, éxecutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou lié, directement ou indirectement à la présente convention, soient rédigés en langue anglaise.

Securities Law Information.  The Optionee is permitted to sell Shares acquired through the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the resale of such Shares takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (i.e., the NASDAQ Global Select Market).  
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  Foreign specified property, including shares of stock (i.e., Shares), options to purchase shares (i.e., Options) and other rights to receive shares (e.g., restricted stock units) of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident employee must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of his or her foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, the Options must be reported (generally at a nil cost) if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because other foreign specified property the Optionee holds. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares. The ACB ordinarily is equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if the Optionee owns other Shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. The Optionee should consult with his or her personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with the applicable reporting obligations.
CHINA
The following applies only if the Optionee is subject to exchange control restrictions in China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Cashless Exercise Restriction.  Notwithstanding Section 7(b) of the Plan, due to legal restrictions in China, the Optionee will be required to pay the Exercise Price by a cashless exercise through a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company, such that all Shares subject to the exercised Options will be sold immediately upon exercise and the proceeds of sale, less the Exercise Price, any Tax-Related Items and broker’s fees or commissions, will be remitted to the Optionee in accordance with any applicable exchange control laws and regulations. The Company reserves the right to provide the Optionee with additional methods of exercise depending on the development of local exchange control law.
Due to fluctuations in the trading price of the Company’s Common Stock and/or the U.S. dollar/RMB currency exchange rate between the exercise/sale date and (if later) when the sale proceeds can be converted into local currency, the sale proceeds that the Optionee receives may be more or less than the fair market value of the Shares on the exercise/sale date minus the Exercise Price (which is the amount relevant to determining the Optionee’s tax liability).
Termination of Employment.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan, due to legal restrictions in China, the Optionee agrees that the Optionee may be required to exercise the Option within a certain period of time after termination of the Optionee’s Active Status for any reason, including without limitation, the Optionee’s voluntary termination, termination because of Retirement, Disability or death or termination by the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company because of Misconduct. The Optionee hereby authorizes the Company or the Company’s designated broker to effect the exercise on the Optionee’s behalf at the end of the period. The Optionee acknowledges that the Company or the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to effect the exercise and immediate sale of the Shares subject to the exercised Option at any particular price.  Upon the exercise, the Optionee will receive the sale proceeds less any amounts necessary to satisfy Tax-Related Items and applicable transaction fees or commissions.  
Exchange Control Restriction.  Due to exchange control laws and regulations in China, the Optionee will be required immediately to repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of Shares. The Optionee further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds may need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or a Subsidiary expressly for this purpose. By accepting the Options, the Optionee agrees that any cash proceeds from the sale of Shares may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Optionee. The proceeds may be paid to the Optionee in U.S. dollars or in local currency at the Company’s discretion.  If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, the Optionee understands that he or she will be required to open a U.S. dollar bank account in China and provide the bank account details to the Company or the Employer. The Optionee

acknowledges that, if the cash proceeds are paid in local currency, the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular currency exchange conversion rate. Furthermore, compliance with local exchange control laws and regulations may delay the conversion of cash proceeds into local currency. The Optionee agrees that, if the conversion of the cash proceeds into local currency is delayed, he or she shall bear the risk of any currency exchange conversion rate fluctuation between the date on which the Shares issued at exercise of the Options are sold and the date of conversion of the cash proceeds into local currency. The Optionee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that the Company may impose in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.
NOTIFICATIONS
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  The Optionee may be required to report to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange all details of his or her foreign financial assets and liabilities, as well as details of any economic transactions conducted with non-China residents. Under these rules, the Optionee may be subject to reporting obligations for the Options, Shares acquired under the Plan and Plan-related transactions.

COLOMBIA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Labor Law Acknowledgement.  The following provision supplements Section 5 of the Key Employee Option Agreement:
The Optionee acknowledges that pursuant to Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code, the Plan, the Options and any income realized under the Plan do not constitute a component of the Optionee’s “salary” for any legal purpose. Therefore, they will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as legal/fringe benefits, vacations, indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions and/or any other labor-related amount which may be payable.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information.  The Shares are not and will not be registered with the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the Shares may not be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in the Agreement should be construed as making a public offer of securities in Colombia.
Exchange Control Information.  If the Optionee holds investments outside Colombia (including Shares the Optionee acquires under the Plan) and the aggregate value of such investments is US$500,000 or more as of December 31 of any year, the Optionee will be required to register such investments with the Central Bank (Banco de la República) as foreign investments held abroad. Upon the subsequent sale or other disposition of any previously-registered investments, the Optionee may choose to keep the resulting proceeds abroad, or to repatriate them to Colombia. If the Optionee chooses to repatriate funds to Colombia and has not registered the investment with Banco de la República, a Form No. 5 must be filed with Banco de la República upon conversion of funds into local currency, which should be duly completed to reflect the nature of the transaction. If the investment was previously registered with Banco de la República, the Optionee will need to file Form No. 4 upon conversion of funds into local currency, which should be duly completed to reflect the nature of the transaction. If Shares are sold immediately upon receipt, no registration is required because no  Shares are held abroad. It is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with Colombian exchange control requirements.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  An annual informative return must be filed with the Colombian Tax Office detailing any assets held abroad (including Shares acquired under the Plan).  If the individual value of any of these assets exceeds a certain threshold, each asset must be described in detail, including the jurisdiction in which it is located, its nature and its value.

UNITED KINGDOM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Responsibility for Taxes.  The following provision supplements Section 4 of the Key Employee Option Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 4 of the Key Employee Option Agreement, the Optionee agrees that the Optionee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).  Optionee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold on the Optionee’s behalf or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Optionee’s behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee is an executive officer or director of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act ), the Optionee acknowledges that he or she may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Optinee, as it may be considered a loan.  In this case, the amount of any income tax not collected within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Item(s) occurs may constitute a benefit to the Optionee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions (“NICs”) may be payable.  The Optionee understands that he or she will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any NICs due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from the Optionee at any time by any of the means referred to in Section 4 of the Key Employee Option Agreement.
