II.    AGREEMENT
1.    Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in this Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Optionee”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of shares (the “Shares”) set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. Except as set forth in Section 2(c) below, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.
2.    Vesting.
(a)    Vesting Schedule.  Except as may otherwise be set forth in this Agreement or in the Plan, Options awarded to an Optionee shall not vest until the Optionee (i) satisfies the performance-based vesting criteria (“Performance Objective”), if any, applicable to such Options and (ii) continues to be actively employed with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary for the periods required to satisfy the time-based vesting criteria (“Time-Based Vesting Criteria”) applicable to such Options.  The Performance Objective and Time-Based Vesting Criteria applicable to an Option are collectively referred to as “Vesting Conditions,” and the earliest date upon which all Vesting Conditions are satisfied is referred to as the “Vesting Date.”  The Vesting Conditions for an Option received by an Optionee shall be established by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (or by one or more members of Company management, if such power has been delegated in accordance with the Plan and applicable law) and reflected in the account maintained for the Optionee by an external third party administrator of the Option awards.  Further, during any approved leave of absence (and without limiting the application of any other rules governing leaves of absence that the Committee may approve from time to time pursuant to the Plan), to the extent permitted by applicable law the Committee shall have discretion to provide that the vesting of the Options shall be frozen as of the first day of the leave and shall not resume until and unless the Optionee returns to active employment prior to the Expiration Date of the Options.
(b)    Performance Objective.  The Committee shall determine whether the Performance Objective applicable to an Option has been met, and such determination shall be final and conclusive.  Until the Committee has made such a determination, the Performance Objective may not be considered to have been satisfied.  Notwithstanding any determination by the Committee that the Performance Objective has been attained with respect to particular Options, such Options shall not be considered to have vested unless and until the Optionee has satisfied the Time-Based Vesting Criteria applicable to such Options.
(c)    Age 65.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Plan, if the Optionee is employed in the European Economic Area as of the Date of Grant (“EU Optionee”), (1) the Plan provisions providing that options held by an optionee upon retirement after age 65 will remain outstanding and continue to vest and be exercisable until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of retirement or the expiration of the award shall not apply to any of the Options awarded pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) with respect to the Options awarded pursuant to this Agreement, the definition of “Early Retirement” for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement shall be modified to 

    








read as follows: “’Early Retirement’ means an employee voluntarily ceases to be an Employee and the Committee determines that the cessation constitutes Retirement for purposes of this Plan.  In deciding whether a termination of employment is an Early Retirement, the Committee need not consider the definition under any other Company benefit plan.”  For the avoidance of doubt, the attainment of age 65 by an EU Optionee shall confer no rights or benefits with respect to the Options awarded pursuant to this Agreement, and Section 5(e) of this Agreement shall not apply to Options granted under this Agreement to an EU Optionee.  The parties to this Agreement expressly acknowledge that this Section 2(c) supersedes any conflicting provisions in the Plan.
(d)    Fractional Shares.  The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an Option.  Any fractional share will be rounded up and issued to the Optionee in a whole share.
3.    Exercise of Option.
(a)    Right to Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.
(b)    Method and Time of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by any method made available from time to time by the external third party administrator of the Option awards.  An exercise may be made with respect to whole Shares only, and not for a fraction of a Share.  Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded.  The Committee may require the Optionee to take any reasonable action in order to comply with any such rules or regulations.  Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.    
(c)    Acknowledgment of Potential Securities Law Restrictions.  Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covers the Shares issued upon exercise of an Option, the Committee may require that the Optionee agree in writing to acquire such Shares for investment and not for public resale or distribution, unless and until the Shares subject to the Award are registered under the Securities Act.  The Committee may also require the Optionee to acknowledge that he or she shall not sell or transfer such Shares except in compliance with all applicable laws, and may apply such other restrictions as it deems appropriate.  The Optionee acknowledges that the U.S. federal securities laws prohibit trading in the stock of the Company by persons who are in possession of material, non-public information, and also acknowledges and understands the other restrictions set forth in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
(d)    Automatic Exercise Upon Expiration Date.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than this Section), on the last trading day on which all or a portion of the outstanding Option may be exercised, if as of the close of trading on such day the then Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the per share Exercise Price of the 



2








Option by at least $.01 (such expiring portion of the Option that is so in-the-money, an “Auto-Exercise Eligible Option”), Optionee will be deemed to have automatically exercised such Auto-Exercise Eligible Option (to the extent it has not previously been exercised or forfeited) as of the close of trading in accordance with the provisions of this Section.  In the event of an automatic exercise pursuant to this Section, the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued to Optionee upon such automatic exercise of the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option in an amount necessary to satisfy (1) Optionee’s Exercise Price obligation for the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option, and (2) the minimum, applicable Federal, state, local and, if applicable, foreign income and employment tax and social insurance withholding requirements arising upon the automatic exercise in accordance with the procedures of Section 6(f) of the Plan (unless the Administrator deems that a different method of satisfying the tax withholding obligations is practicable and advisable), in each case based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the close of trading on the date of exercise.  Optionee may notify the Plan record-keeper in writing in advance that Optionee does not wish for the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option to be exercised. This Section shall not apply to the Option to the extent that this Section causes the Option to fail to qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable law. In its discretion, the Company may determine to cease automatically exercising Options at any time.
4.    Method of Payment. Unless the Committee consents otherwise, payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:
(a)    cash, delivered to the external third party administrator of the Option awards in any methodology permitted by such third party administrator;
(b)    payment under a cashless exercise program approved by the Company or through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee (i) shall provide written instructions to a licensed broker acceptable to the Company and acting as agent for the Optionee to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and to remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased Shares and (ii) shall provide written direction to the Company to deliver the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction; or
(c)    surrender of other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the exercised Shares.
5.    Termination of Employment.
(a)    General.  In the event the Optionee’s active employment or other active service-providing relationship with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary terminates for any reason (other than (1) for any Optionee, death or Early Retirement, and (2) for an Optionee employed in any country outside the European Economic Area as of the Date of Grant (“Non-EU Optionee”), Normal Retirement) whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws, all unvested Options shall be automatically forfeited by the Optionee as of the date of termination and Optionee’s right to receive options under the Plan shall also terminate as of the date of termination. The Committee 



3








shall have discretion to determine whether the Optionee has ceased to be actively employed by (or, if the Optionee is a consultant or director, has ceased actively providing services to) the Company or Eligible Subsidiary, and the effective date on which such active employment (or active service-providing relationship) terminated.  The Optionee’s active employer-employee or other active service-providing relationship will not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable law (e.g., active employment shall not include a period of “garden leave”, paid administrative leave or similar period  pursuant to applicable law) and in the event of an Optionee’s termination of employment (whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws), Optionee’s right to exercise any Option after termination of employment, if any, shall be measured by the date of termination of active employment or service and shall not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable law.  Unless the Committee provides otherwise (1) termination of the Optionee’s employment will include instances in which the Optionee is terminated and immediately rehired as an independent contractor, and (2) the spin‐off, sale, or disposition of the Optionee’s employer from the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary (whether by transfer of shares, assets or otherwise) such that the Optionee’s employer no longer constitutes an Eligible Subsidiary will constitute a termination of employment or service.
(b)    General Termination Rule.  In the event the Optionee’s employment with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary terminates for any reason (other than (i) in the case of any Optionee, death, Disability, Early Retirement or Gross Misconduct, and (ii) in the case of any Non-EU Optionee, Normal Retirement), whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws, the Optionee shall have a period of 90 days, commencing with the date the Optionee is no longer actively employed, to exercise the vested portion of any outstanding Options, subject to the Expiration Date of the Option.  However, if the exercise of an Option following Optionee’s termination of employment (to the extent such post-termination exercise is permitted under Section 11(a) of the Plan) is not covered by an effective registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, then the Option will terminate upon the later of (i) thirty (30) days after such exercise becomes covered by an effective registration statement, or (ii) the end of the original post-termination exercise period, but in no event may an Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option.
(c)    Death.  Upon Optionee’s death prior to termination of employment, all unexpired Options shall become fully exercisable and may be exercised for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (subject to the Expiration Date of the Option) by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or any other person to whom the Option is transferred under a will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution. 
(d)    Disability.  In the event the Optionee’s employment with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary terminates by reason of the Optionee’s Disability, all unvested Options shall be automatically forfeited by the Optionee as of the date of termination and the Optionee shall have until the first anniversary of the Optionee’s termination of employment for Disability (subject to the Expiration Date of the Option) to exercise the vested portion of any outstanding Options.
(e)    Normal Retirement.  In the event any Non-EU Optionee voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary at or after reaching 



4








age 65, the Non-EU Optionee’s Options shall remain outstanding and shall continue to vest (as to both the Performance Objective and Time-Based Vesting Criteria, as applicable) and subject to satisfaction of all applicable Vesting Conditions may be exercised up until the fifth anniversary of the Normal Retirement date (or if earlier, up until the Expiration Date of the Option).
(f)    Early Retirement.  In the event the Optionee voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary and the Committee determines that the cessation of Optionee’s employment constitutes Early Retirement, the Optionee’s Options shall remain outstanding and shall continue to vest (as to both the Performance Objective and Time-Based Vesting Criteria, as applicable) and subject to satisfaction of all applicable Vesting Conditions may be exercised up until the fifth anniversary of the Early Retirement date (or if earlier, up until the Expiration Date of the Option).  The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the grant of Early Retirement treatment is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee and that the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may grant Early Retirement treatment with respect to all, a specified portion, or none of the Optionee’s Options.
(g)    Gross Misconduct.  If the Optionee’s employment with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary is terminated for Gross Misconduct, the Optionee’s unexercised Options shall terminate immediately as of the time of termination, without consideration.  The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s termination of employment shall also be deemed to be a termination of employment by reason of the Optionee’s Gross Misconduct if, after the Optionee’s employment has terminated, facts and circumstances are discovered or confirmed by the Company that would have justified a termination for Gross Misconduct.
(h)    Violation of Post-Employment Covenant.  To the extent that any of the Optionee’s Options remain outstanding under the terms of the Plan or this Agreement after termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary, such Options shall nevertheless expire as of the date the Optionee violates any covenant not to compete or other post-employment covenant that exists between the Optionee on the one hand and the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand.
(i)    Substantial Corporate Change.  Upon a Substantial Corporate Change, the Optionee’s outstanding Options will terminate unless provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the assumption or continuation of the Options, or the substitution for such Options of any options or grants covering the stock or securities of a successor employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such successor, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares of stock and prices, in which event the Options will continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.  
6.    Non-Transferability of Option; Term of Option.
(a)    Unless the Committee determines otherwise in advance in writing, this Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee and/or by his or her duly appointed guardian. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and permitted successors and assigns of the Optionee.



5








(b)    Notwithstanding any other term in this Agreement, this Option may be exercised only prior to the Expiration Date set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Agreement.
7.    Amendment of Option or Plan.  
(a)    The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Optionee expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein.  The Company’s Board may amend, modify or terminate the Plan or any Option in any respect at any time; provided, however, that modifications to this Agreement or the Plan that materially and adversely affect the Optionee’s rights hereunder can be made only in an express written contract signed by the Company and the Optionee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement and Optionee’s rights under outstanding Options as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Optionee, (1) upon a Substantial Corporate Change, (2) as required by law, or (3) to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 409A”) or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection with this award of Options.
(b)    The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Committee may in its sole discretion reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s unvested Options if the Optionee changes classification from a full-time employee to a part-time employee.
8.    Tax Obligations.  
(a)    Withholding Taxes.  Regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary employing the Optionee (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all federal, state, local or foreign income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax related items (“Tax Related Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related Items associated with the Option is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and that the Company and 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, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; 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.  Further, if Optionee has relocated to a different jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any taxable event, Optionee 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 the relevant taxable event, Optionee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer (in its sole discretion) to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations for Tax Related Items of the Company and/or the Employer.  In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and the Employer, or either of them, in such 



6








entity’s sole discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax Related Items legally payable by the Optionee (with respect to the Option granted hereunder as well as any equity awards previously received by the Optionee under any Company stock plan) by one or a combination of the following:  (i) requiring the Optionee to pay Tax-Related Items in cash with a cashier’s check or certified check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds; (ii) withholding cash from the Optionee’s wages or other compensation payable to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; (iii) accepting from the Optionee the delivery of unencumbered Shares; (iv) withholding from the proceeds of a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure as described in Section 4(b) above; or (v) withholding in Shares otherwise issuable to the Optionee, provided that the Company withholds only the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum statutory withholding amount (or if there is no minimum statutory withholding amount, such amount as may be necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment) using the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of the relevant taxable event.  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 withhold as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan or the Optionee’s purchase of Shares that are not satisfied by any of the means previously described.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Company and/or the Employer withhold more than the minimum amount of Tax Related Items required by law (or if there is no minimum statutory withholding amount, such amount as may be necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment), nor shall any Optionee have the right to require the Company and/or the Employer to withhold more than such amount.  The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares to the Optionee if the Optionee fails to comply with Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax Related Items as described in this Section. 
(b)    Code Section 409A. Payments made pursuant to this Plan and the Agreement are intended to qualify for an exemption from or comply with Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement,  the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Options granted to Optionees who are United States taxpayers are made in such a manner that either qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Plan or the Options shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to the Plan or any Options granted thereunder.  If this Agreement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on the Optionee by Section 409A, and the Optionee shall have no recourse against the Company or any of its affiliates for payment of any such tax, penalty or interest imposed by Section 409A.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, these provisions shall apply to any payments and benefits otherwise payable to or provided to the Optionee under this Agreement.  For purposes of Section 409A, each “payment” (as defined by Section 409A) made under this Agreement shall be considered a “separate payment.”  In addition, for purposes of Section 409A, payments shall be deemed exempt from the definition of deferred compensation under Section 409A to the fullest extent possible under (i) the “short-term deferral” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4), and (ii) (with respect to amounts paid as separation pay no later than the second calendar year following the calendar year containing the Optionee’s “separation from 



7








service” (as defined for purposes of Section 409A)) the “two years/two-times” separation pay exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), which are hereby incorporated by reference.
If the Optionee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A (and as applied according to procedures of the Company and its affiliates) as of his separation from service, to the extent any payment under this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation (after taking into account any applicable exemptions from Section 409A), and to the extent required by Section 409A, no payments due under this Agreement may be made until the earlier of: (i) the first day of the seventh month following the Optionee’s separation from service, or (ii) the Optionee’s date of death; provided, however, that any payments delayed during this six-month period shall be paid in the aggregate in a lump sum, without interest, on the first day of the seventh month following the Optionee’s separation from service.
9.    Rights as Shareholder.  Until all requirements for exercise of the Option pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan have been satisfied, the Optionee shall not be deemed to be a shareholder or to have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares. 
10.    No Employment Contract.  Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement constitutes an employment contract between the Company and the Optionee and this Agreement shall not confer upon the Optionee any right to continuation of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries right to terminate the Optionee’s employment at any time, with or without cause (subject to any employment agreement an Optionee may otherwise have with the Company or a Subsidiary thereof and/or applicable law). 
11.    Board Authority.  The Board and/or the Committee shall have the power to interpret this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Agreement as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether any Options have vested).  All interpretations and determinations made by the Board and/or the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding upon Optionee, the Company and all other interested persons and such determinations of the Board and/or the Committee do not have to be uniform nor do they have to consider whether optionees are similarly situated.  No member of the Board and/or the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to this Agreement.  
12.    Headings.  The captions used in this Agreement and the Plan are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed to be a part of the Option for construction and interpretation.
13.    Electronic Delivery. 
(a)    If the Optionee executes this Agreement electronically, for the avoidance of doubt Optionee acknowledges and agrees that his or her execution of this Agreement electronically (through an on-line system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company, or otherwise) shall have the same binding legal effect as would execution of this 



8








Agreement in paper form.  Optionee acknowledges that upon request of the Company he or she shall also provide an executed, paper form of this Agreement.
(b)    If the Optionee executes this Agreement in paper form, for the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that any agreement previously or subsequently entered into between the parties that is executed electronically shall have the same binding legal effect as if such agreement were executed in paper form.
(c)    If Optionee executes this Agreement multiple times (for example, if the Optionee first executes this Agreement in electronic form and subsequently executes the Agreement in paper form), the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that (i) no matter how many versions of this Agreement are executed and in whatever medium, this Agreement only evidences a single grant of Options relating to the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and (ii) this Agreement shall be effective as of the earliest execution of this Agreement by the parties, whether in paper form or electronically, and the subsequent execution of this Agreement in the same or a different medium shall in no way impair the binding legal effect of this Agreement as of the time of original execution.
(d)    The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver by electronic means any documents related to the Option, to participation in the Plan, or to future awards granted under the Plan, or otherwise required to be delivered to the Optionee pursuant to the Plan or under applicable law, including but not limited to, the Plan, the Agreement, the Plan prospectus and any reports of the Company generally provided to shareholders.  Such means of electronic delivery may include, but do not necessarily include, the delivery of a link to the Company’s intranet or the internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of documents via electronic mail (“e-mail”) or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company.  By executing this Agreement, the Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery.  At the Optionee’s written request to the Secretary of the Company, the Company shall provide a paper copy of any document at no cost to the Optionee.
14.     Data Privacy.  Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her Data (as defined below) by and among, as necessary and applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan and in the Company’s Amended 1998 Plan.
Optionee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Optionee, including, but not limited to, Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, and job title, any Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of the Option or any other option or other entitlement to Shares, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and/or the Amended 1998 Plan (“Data”).  Optionee understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and/or the Amended 1998 Plan, that these recipients may be located in Optionee’s country or elsewhere, including outside the 



9








European Economic Area, and that the recipients’ country may have different data privacy laws and protections than Optionee’s country.  Optionee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan and/or in the Amended 1998 Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom Optionee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option or any other option or other entitlement to Shares.


Optionee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Optionee understands that Data shall be held as long as is reasonably necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan and/or the Amended 1998 Plan, and he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative.  Optionee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing such consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan and/or the Amended 1998 Plan.  In addition, Optionee understands that the Company and its Subsidiaries have separately implemented procedures for the handling of Data which the Company believes permits the Company to use the Data in the manner set forth above notwithstanding Optionee’s withdrawal of such consent.  For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Optionee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.    
15.    Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.  Each party, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waives any right or expectation against the other to trial or adjudication by a jury of any claim, cause or action arising with respect to the Option or hereunder, or the rights, duties or liabilities created hereby.  
16.    Agreement Severable.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
17.    Governing Law and Venue. The laws of the State of Delaware (other than its choice of law provisions) shall govern this Agreement and its interpretation.  For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises with respect to this Option, this Agreement or the Plan, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of New Castle County, or the United States Federal court for the District of Delaware.  
18.    Nature of Option.  In accepting the Option, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)    the award of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, benefits in lieu of options or other equity awards, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past;



10








(b)    all decisions with respect to future equity awards, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(c)    Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(d)    the Option is an extraordinary item that (i) does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary, and (ii) is outside the scope of Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any;
(e)    the Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating 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 Subsidiary;

ADDENDUM A
This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to Optionee if Optionee resides in one of the countries listed herein.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, the Agreement or the Plan.
This Addendum may also include information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Optionee should be aware with respect to Optionee’s participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws concerning Options in effect as of April 2014.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Optionee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Optionee’s participation in the Plan as the information may be out of date at the time Optionee exercises the Option or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, this Addendum is general in nature and may not apply to Optionee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Optionee of any particular result.  Accordingly, Optionee is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Optionee’s country apply to Optionee’s specific situation.
If Optionee resides in a country but is considered a citizen or resident of another country for purposes of the country in which Optionee resides, the information contained in this Addendum may not be applicable to Optionee.  
OPTIONEES IN CHINA AND ITALY
Method of Exercise 
Optionee acknowledges that due to regulatory requirements, and notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, Optionees residing in mainland China and Italy will be restricted to the cashless sell-all method of exercise with respect to their Options. To complete a cashless sell-all exercise, Optionee understands that Optionee needs to instruct the broker to: (i) sell all of the purchased Shares issued upon exercise; (ii) use the proceeds to pay the Exercise Price, brokerage fees and any applicable Tax-Related Items; and (iii) remit the balance in cash to Optionee.  In the event of changes in regulatory requirements, the Company reserves the right to eliminate the cashless sell-all method of exercise requirement and, in its sole discretion, to permit cash exercise, cashless sell-to-cover exercise or any other method of exercise and payment deemed appropriate by the Company. 
OPTIONEES IN ARGENTINA
Securities Law Notice
Optionee understands that neither the grant of the Option nor the purchase of Shares constitute a public offering as defined by the Law N° 17,811, or any other Argentine law.  The offering of the 



15








Option is a private placement.  As such, the offering is not subject to the supervision of any Argentine governmental authority.
Labor Law Acknowledgement 
Any benefits awarded under the Plan accrue no more frequently than on an annual basis.  In addition, Optionee acknowledges that the grant is made by the Company on behalf of Optionee’s local employer.


Exchange Control Notice


Under current exchange control laws in Argentina, the Optionee is not permitted to purchase and remit foreign currency out of Argentina for the purpose of acquiring foreign securities (including Shares).  Therefore, Optionee will not be able to pay the Exercise Price by remitting funds out of Argentina.  The Optionee may pay the Exercise Price with funds he or she has outside of Argentina or by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell some or all of the Shares subject to the exercised portion of the Option and deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale proceeds to pay the Exercise Price.  


If the Optionee transfers proceeds from the sale of Shares or any cash dividends paid on such Shares into Argentina within 10 days of receipt (i.e., if the proceeds have not been held in the offshore bank or brokerage account for at least 10 days prior to transfer), the Optionee will be required to deposit 30% of the proceeds into a non-interest bearing account in Argentina for 365 days.  The Argentine bank handling the transaction may request certain documentation in connection with the Optionee’s request to transfer proceeds into Argentina, including evidence of the sale or dividend payment and proof that no funds were remitted out of Argentina to acquire the Shares.  If the bank determines that the 10-day rule or any other rule or regulation promulgated by the Argentine Central Bank has not been satisfied, it will require that 30% of the proceeds be placed in a non-interest bearing dollar denominated mandatory deposit account for a holding period of 365 days.  


Optionee is solely responsible for complying with any exchange control laws that may apply to the Optionee as a result of participation in the Plan, the exercise of the Option and/or the transfer of funds in connection with the Option.  Optionee should consult his or her local bank and/or exchange control advisor to confirm the exchange control rules and required documentation for an transfer of funds into Argentina.

If funds are remitted from Colombia through an authorized local financial institution, the authorized financial institution will automatically register the investment.  
If the Optionee does not remit funds through an authorized financial institution when exercising his or her Option because a partial cashless exercise method is used (selling only enough Shares to cover the Grant Price and any brokerage fees), then the Optionee must register the investment him- or herself if the accumulated financial investments the Optionee holds abroad at the year-end are equal to or exceed the equivalent of US$500,000.  The Optionee must register by filing a Form No. 11 and submitting it to Señores, Banco de la República, Atn: Jefe Sección Inversiones, Departamento de Cambios Internacionales, Carrera 7 No. 14 - 18, Bogotá, Colombia by June 30 of the following year.

Optionee also understands that providing the Company with Personal Data is mandatory for compliance with laws and is necessary for the performance of the Plan and that his denial to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect his ability to participate in the Plan. The Controller of personal data processing is Danaher Corporation, with registered offices at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Suite 800W, Washington, DC 20037.
Optionee understands that Personal Data will not be publicized, but it may be accessible by Optionee’s employer and within the employer’s organization by its internal and external personnel in charge of processing, and by the data processor, if appointed. The updated list of processors and of the subjects to which Personal Data are communicated will remain available upon request at Optionee’s employer. Furthermore, Personal Data may be transferred to banks, other financial institutions or brokers involved in the management and administration of the Plan.  Optionee understands that Personal Data may also be transferred to the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company, and also to the legitimate addressees under applicable laws. Optionee further understands that the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, and that the Company and its Subsidiaries or  affiliates may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, including any requisite transfer of Personal Data to a broker or other third party with whom he or she may elect to deposit any shares acquired under the Plan or any proceeds from the sale of such shares.  Such recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Personal Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan.  Optionee understands that these recipients may be acting as controllers, processors or persons in charge of processing, as the case may be, according to applicable privacy laws, and that they may be located in or outside the European Economic Area, such as in the United States or elsewhere, in countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection as intended under Italian privacy law.  



25








Optionee understands that Personal Data processing related to the purposes specified above shall take place under automated or non-automated conditions, anonymously when possible, that comply with the purposes for which Personal Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations, with specific reference to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003.
The processing activity, including the transfer of Personal Data abroad, including outside of the European Economic Area, as specified herein and pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, does not require Optionee’s consent thereto as the it is necessary to performance of law and contractual obligations related to implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  Optionee understands that, pursuant to section 7 of the Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, Optionee has the right at any moment to, including, but not limited to, obtain confirmation that Personal Data exists or not; access and verify its contents, origin and accuracy; delete, update, integrate or correct Personal Data; or block or stop, for legitimate reason, Personal Data processing. To exercise privacy rights, Optionee should contact his or her  employer. Furthermore, Optionee is aware that Personal Data will not be used for direct marketing purposes.  In addition, Personal Data provided can be reviewed and questions or complaints can be addressed by contacting Optionee’s employer human resources department.
Plan Document Acknowledgement
In accepting the Option, Optionee acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan and the Agreement and has reviewed the Plan and the Agreement, including this Addendum, in their entirety and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Agreement, including this Addendum.
Optionee further acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically and expressly approves the following paragraphs of the Agreement: Tax Obligations; No Employment Contract; Nature of Grant; Language; Governing Law and Venue; and the Data Privacy paragraph included in this Addendum.
Exchange Control Notice
The Optionee is required to report in his or her annual tax return: (a) any transfers of cash or Shares to or from Italy exceeding €10,000; and (b) any foreign investments or investments held outside of Italy exceeding €10,000, if such investment (e.g., Options, cash, Shares) may give rise to taxable income in Italy (this will include reporting any vested Option if the value of the Option (i.e., the difference between the fair market value of the Shares underlying the vested Option at the end of the year and the Exercise Price) combined with other relevant investments exceeds €10,000); and (c) the amount of transfers to and from Italy which have had an impact during the calendar year on the Optionee’s foreign investments or investments held outside of Italy.  The Optionee is exempt from the formalities in (a) if the investments are made through an authorized broker resident in Italy, as the broker will generally comply with the reporting obligation on the Optionee’s behalf.

Exchange Control Notice



26








If the Optionee acquires Shares valued at more than ¥100,000,000 in a single transaction, the Optionee must file a Securities Acquisition Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan within 20 days of the purchase of the shares.  
In addition, if the Optionee pays more than ¥30,000,000 in a single transaction for the purchase of shares when the Optionee exercises the Option, the Optionee must file a Payment Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan by the 20th day of the month following the month in which the payment was made.  The precise reporting requirements vary depending on whether or not the relevant payment is made through a bank in Japan.
A Payment Report is required independently from a Securities Acquisition Report.  Therefore, if the total amount that the Optionee pays upon a one-time transaction for exercising the Option and purchasing shares exceeds ¥100,000,000, then the Optionee must file both a Payment Report and a Securities Acquisition Report. 
Foreign Assets Reporting Information
The Optionee will be required to report details of any assets held outside of Japan as of December 31st (including any Shares acquired under the Plan) to the extent such assets have a total net fair market value exceeding ¥50,000,000.  Such report will be due by March 15th each year.  The Optionee should consult with his or her personal tax advisor as to whether the reporting obligation applies to the Optionee and whether the Optionee will be required to include details of any outstanding Option or Shares held by the Optionee in the report.
OPTIONEES IN KOREA
Exchange Control Notice

To receive the confirmation, Optionee should submit the following to the foreign exchange bank: (i) a prescribed form application; (ii) the Agreement, Notice of Stock Option Gant and any other Plan documents received; and (iii) certificate of employment with the local employer.  Optionee should check with the bank to determine whether there are any additional requirements.  
OPTIONEES IN MEXICO
Labor Law Acknowledgement
These provisions supplement the labor law acknowledgement contained in the Agreement:
By accepting the Options, Optionee acknowledges that he or she understands and agrees that: (i) the Option is not related to the salary and other contractual benefits granted to Optionee by the 



27








Employer; and (ii) any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of employment.
Policy Statement
The invitation the Company is making under the Plan is unilateral and discretionary and, therefore, the Company reserves the absolute right to amend it and discontinue it at any time without any liability.
The Company, with registered offices at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 800W, Washington, D.C., 20037, United States of America, is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and participation in the Plan and, in Optionee’ case, the acquisition of Shares does not, in any way establish an employment relationship between Optionee and the Company since Optionee is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and the sole employer is the Subsidiary employing Optionee, as applicable, nor does it establish any rights between Optionee and the Employer.
Plan Document Acknowledgment
By accepting the Option grant, Optionee acknowledges that he or she has received copies of the Plan, has reviewed the Plan and the Agreement in their entirety and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Agreement.  
In addition, by signing the Agreement, Optionee further acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically and expressly approves the terms and conditions in the Nature of Grant, Section 18 of the Agreement, in which the following is clearly described and established: (i) participation in the Plan does not constitute an acquired right; (ii) the Plan and participation in the Plan is offered by the Company on a wholly discretionary basis; (iii) participation in the Plan is voluntary; and (iv) the Company and its Subsidiaries are not responsible for any decrease in the value of the Shares underlying the Option. 
Finally, Optionee hereby declares that he or she does not reserve any action or right to bring any claim against the Company for any compensation or damages as a result of participation in the Plan and therefore grants a full and broad release to the Employer and the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to any claim that may arise under the Plan.

28








Declaración de Política 
La invitación por parte de la Compañía bajo el Plan es unilateral y discrecional y, por lo tanto, la Compañía se reserva el derecho absoluto de modificar y discontinuar el mismo en cualquier momento, sin ninguna responsabilidad.
La Compañía, con oficinas registradas ubicadas en 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 800W, Washington, D.C., 20037, United States of America, es la única responsable de la administración del Plan y de la participación en el mismo y, en el caso del que tiene la opción, la adquisición de Acciones no establece de forma alguna, una relación de trabajo entre el que tiene la opción y la Compañía, ya que la participación en el Plan por parte del que tiene la opción es completamente comercial y el único patrón es la Subsidiaria que esta contratando al que tiene la opción, en caso de ser aplicable, así como tampoco establece ningún derecho entre el que tiene la opción y el patrón.
Reconocimiento del Plan de Documentos
Por medio de la aceptación de la Opción, el que tiene la opción reconoce que ha recibido copias del Plan, que el mismo ha sido revisado al igual que la totalidad del Acuerdo y, que ha entendido y aceptado las disposiciones contenidas en el Plan y en el Acuerdo.

OPTIONEES IN THE NETHERLANDS
Labor Law Acknowledgment
By accepting the Option, Optionee acknowledges that: (i) the Option is intended as an incentive for the Optionee to remain employed with the Employer and is not intended as remuneration for labor performed; and (ii) the Option is not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.
Securities Law Notice
Optionee should be aware of the Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Shares issued upon exercise of the Option.  In particular, Optionee may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if he or she has inside information about the Company. 



29








Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has "insider information" related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. "Inside information" is defined as knowledge of specific information concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate or the trade in securities issued by such company, which has not been made public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the development of the price.  The insider could be any employee of the Company or an affiliate in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.
Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, an Optionee working at an affiliate in the Netherlands may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when he or she has such inside information.
If Optionee is uncertain whether the insider-trading rules apply to him or her, then the Optionee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor.
OPTIONEES IN NEW ZEALAND
Securities Law Notice 
In compliance with New Zealand securities laws, the Optionee is hereby notified that the following information is available for review in connection with the offer to purchase Shares under the Plan:
		
	(i)
	the Agreement, including this Appendix, which together with the Plan sets forth the terms and conditions of participation in the Plan; 


		
	(ii)
	a copy of the Company’s most recent annual return (i.e., Form 10-K) and most recent financial reports; and 


		
	(iii)
	a copy of the Plan and a description of the Plan (the “Description”) (i.e., the Company’s Form S-8 Plan Prospectus under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended); the Company will provide any attachments or documents incorporated by reference into the Description upon written request.  


The Optionee may request copies of the documents described above by contacting Danaher’s corporate legal department using the contact details provided on www.mydanaher.com.  The documents incorporated by reference into the Description are updated periodically.  The Optionee understands that should he or she request copies of the documents incorporated by reference into the Description, the Company will provide the Optionee with the most recent documents incorporated by reference.
Warning Statement
Optionee is being offered an Option to purchase Shares in the Company.  Exercise of the Option will give Optionee a stake in the ownership of the Company. The Shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange.  This means that Optionee can sell Shares on the New York Stock Exchange if there are buyers for it.  If Optionee sells the Shares, the price Optionee gets may vary depending on factors such as the financial condition of the Company.  Optionee may receive less than the full amount paid for the Shares.  Optionee could receive a return if the Company becomes 



30








more valuable, and Optionee may also receive dividends, if the Company decides to pay them.  If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, shareholders will only be paid after all other creditors have been paid, resulting in Optionee losing some or all of the money Optionee invested.  
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest.  This requires those offering financial products to have disclosure information that is important for investors to make an informed decision.  
The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, Optionee may not be given all of the information usually required.  Optionee will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. 
Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing to this investment.
OPTIONEES IN NORWAY

OPTIONEES IN POLAND

If required, the reports are due on a quarterly basis.  Polish residents are also required to transfer funds through a bank account in Poland if the transferred amount in any single transaction exceeds a specified threshold (currently €15,000).  Further, upon the request of a Polish bank, Polish residents are required to inform the bank about all foreign exchange transactions performed through such bank.

OPTIONEES IN RUSSIA



31








Exchange Control Notice
If Optionee remits funds out of Russia to purchase Shares, the funds must be remitted from a foreign currency account in Optionee’s name at an authorized bank in Russia.  This requirement does not apply if Optionee uses a cashless exercise such that all or part of the shares subject to the Option will be sold immediately upon exercise and the proceeds of sale remitted to the Company to cover the Option Exercise Price for the purchased shares and any withholding taxes because, in this case, there is no remittance of funds out of Russia.  
Regardless of what method of exercise is used to purchase Shares, Optionee must repatriate the proceeds from the sale of shares and any dividends received in relation to the shares to Russia within a reasonably short period after receipt.  The sale proceeds and any dividends received must be initially credited to Optionee through a foreign currency account opened in Optionee’s name at an authorized bank in Russia.  After the funds are initially received in Russia, they may be further remitted to a foreign bank subject to the following limitations: (i) the foreign account may be opened only for individuals; (ii) the foreign account may not be used for business activities; (iii) the Russian tax authorities must be given notice about the opening/closing of each foreign account within one month of the account opening/closing; and (iv) the Russian tax authorities must be given notice of the account balances of such foreign accounts as of the beginning of each calendar year.  
Securities Law Notice
Optionee acknowledges that the Agreement, the grant of the Option, the Plan and all other materials Optionee may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia.  The issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan has not and will not be registered in Russia and therefore, the securities described in any Plan-related documents may not be used for offering or public circulation in Russia.  
Optionee acknowledges that he or she may hold Shares issued upon exercise of the Option in Optionee’s account with the Company’s third party administrator in the U.S.  However, in no event will Shares issued to Optionee under the Plan be delivered to Optionee in Russia.  
Optionee is not permitted to sell shares acquired under the Plan directly to a Russian legal entity or resident.

OPTIONEES IN SINGAPORE
Securities Law Notice
The grant of the Option is being made on a private basis and is, therefore, exempt from registration in Singapore.
The Optionee should be aware of the Singapore insider trading rules, which may impact the acquisition or disposal of Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., Options) under the Plan.  Under the Singapore insider trading rules, the Optionee is prohibited from acquiring or selling Shares or rights to Shares when in possession of information which is not generally available and which the Optionee knows or should know will have a material effect on the price of Shares once such information is generally available.



36








Director Notification
If Optionee is a director of a Singapore Subsidiary of the Company, Optionee must notify the Singapore Subsidiary in writing within two business days of Optionee receiving or disposing of an interest (e.g., Options, Shares) in the Company or any Subsidiary or within two days of becoming a director if such an interest exists at the time.  This notification alert also applies to an associate director of the Singapore Subsidiary and to a shadow director of the Singapore Subsidiary (i.e., an individual who is not on the board of directors of the Singapore Subsidiary but who has sufficient control so that the board of directors of the Singapore Subsidiary acts in accordance with the “directions and instructions” of the individual).  
OPTIONEES IN SLOVAK REPUBLIC
Foreign Assets Reporting Information
If the Optionee permanently resides in the Slovak Republic and, apart from being employed, carries on business activities as an independent entrepreneur (in Slovakian, podnikatel), the Optionee will be obligated to report his or her foreign assets (including any foreign securities) to the National Bank of Slovakia (provided that the value of the foreign assets exceeds an amount of €2,000,000).  These reports must be submitted on a monthly basis by the 15th day of the respective calendar month, as well as on a quarterly basis by the 15th day of the calendar month following the respective calendar quarter, using notification form DEV (NBS) 1-12, which may be found at the National Bank of Slovakia’s website at www.nbs.sk.  
OPTIONEES IN SLOVENIA
There are no country-specific provisions.


OPTIONEES IN SOUTH AFRICA
Withholding Taxes.  The following provision supplements Section 8(a) of the Agreement.  
By accepting the Option, the Optionee agrees to notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized upon exercise of the Option.  If the Optionee fails to advise the Employer of the gain realized upon exercise of the Option, he or she may be liable for a fine.  The Optionee will be responsible for paying any difference between the actual tax liability and the amount withheld.
Tax Clearance Certificate for Cash Exercises.  If the Optionee exercises the Option by a cash purchase exercise, the Optionee is required to obtain and provide to the Employer, or any third party designated by the Employer or the Company, a Tax Clearance Certificate (with respect to Foreign Investments) bearing the official stamp and signature of the Exchange Control Department of the South African Revenue Service (“SARS”).  The Optionee must renew this Tax Clearance Certificate each twelve (12) months or in such other period as may be required by the SARS.  



37








If the Optionee exercises the Option by a cashless exercise whereby no funds are remitted offshore for the purchase of shares, he or she is not required to obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate.  
Exchange Control Notice
Under current South African exchange control policy, if the Optionee is a South African resident, he or she may invest a maximum of ZAR5,000,000 per annum in offshore investments, including in Shares.  The first ZAR1,000,000 annual discretionary allowance requires no prior authorization.  The next ZAR4,000,000 requires tax clearance.  This limit does not apply to non‐resident employees.  It is the Optionee’s responsibility to ensure that he or she does not exceed this limit and obtains the necessary tax clearance for remittances exceeding ZAR1,000,000.  This limit is a cumulative allowance; therefore, the Optionee’s ability to remit funds for the exercise of an Option will be reduced if the Optionee’s foreign investment limit is utilized to make a transfer of funds offshore that is unrelated to the Option.  If the ZAR5,000,000 limit will be exceeded as a result of an Option exercise, the Optionee may still exercise the Option and participate in the Plan, however the Optionee will be required to immediately sell the Shares underlying the exercised Option and repatriate the proceeds to South Africa.  If the ZAR5,000,000 limit is not exceeded, the Optionee will not be required to immediately repatriate the sale proceeds to South Africa.
The Optionee is solely responsible for complying with applicable South African exchange control regulations.  Since the exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, the Optionee should consult his or her legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of Shares under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations.  As noted, it is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with South African exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.
OPTIONEES IN SPAIN
Vesting Schedule
This provision supplements Section 2(a) of the Agreement.
The Optionee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the grant of the Option, upon the date that the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason (including the reasons listed below), all Options that have not yet vested (or that do not become vested as a result of the Optionee’s death) shall be forfeited.  
In particular, the Optionee understands and agrees that any Options that have not yet vested (or that do not become vested as a result of the Optionee’s death) as of the date that the Optionee is no longer actively providing services shall be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of the Optionee ceasing to be a Service Provider by reason of, but not limited to, resignation, retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without cause, 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 the Royal Decree 1382/1985.  
Nature of Plan
This provision supplements Section 18 of the Agreement.  In accepting the grant, Optionee acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan.
Optionee understands that the Company, in its sole discretion, has unilaterally and gratuitously decided to grant Options under the Plan to individuals who may be Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary throughout the world.  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 Subsidiary on an ongoing basis.  Consequently, Optionee understands that the Option is granted on the assumption and condition that the Option and the Shares issued upon exercise of the Option shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or a Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  In addition, Optionee understands that the grant of the Option would not be made to Optionee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, 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 Option grant shall be null and void.
Exchange Control Notice
When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of Shares (i.e., as a result of the sale of the Shares), Optionee must inform the financial institution receiving the payment, the basis upon which such payment is made.  Optionee will need to provide the institution with the following information: (i) his or her name, address, and fiscal identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of Company; (iii) the amount of the payment; (iv) the currency used; (v) the country of origin; (vi) the reasons for the payment; and (vii) additional information that may be required.
If Optionee wishes to import the ownership title of the Shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, he or she must declare the importation of such securities to the Dirección General de Política Comercial e Inversiones Exteriores.
To participate in the Plan, Optionee must comply with exchange control regulations in Spain that require that the purchase of Shares be declared for statistical purposes.  If a Spanish financial institution executes the transaction, the institution will automatically make the declaration on Optionee’s behalf; otherwise, it is Optionee’s responsibility to make the declaration.  In addition, Optionee must file a declaration of ownership of foreign securities each January.
Translations of the Agreement and this Addendum in Spanish can be provided to Optionee upon request.

OPTIONEES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
The following replaces Section 8(a) of the Agreement in its entirety:
(a)    Withholding Taxes.  Regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary employing Optionee (the “Employer”) take 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 (the “Tax-Related Items”), Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related Items associated with the Option is and remains 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, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the 



41








grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Tax Related Items.  Further, if Optionee has relocated to a different jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any taxable event, Optionee 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.
As a condition of the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Option, the Company and/or the Employer shall be entitled to withhold and 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.  In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted under local law, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax Related Items legally payable by Optionee by one or a combination of the following:  (i) require Optionee to pay Tax-Related Items in cash with a cashier’s check or certified check; (ii) withholding cash from Optionee’s wages or other compensation payable to Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; (iii) withholding from the proceeds of a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure as described in Section 4(b) above; or (iv) withholding in Shares otherwise issuable to Optionee, provided that the Company withholds only the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum statutory withholding amount or such other amount as may be necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment using the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of the relevant taxable event.  
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 event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items (the “Chargeable Event”) that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  If payment or withholding is not made within 90 days of the Chargeable Event, or, if the Chargeable Event occurs on or after April 6, 2014, within 90 days after the end of the UK tax year in which the Chargeable Event occurs, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), Optionee agrees that the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items shall (assuming 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 Optionee to the Employer, effective on the Due Date.  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 Optionee fails to comply with Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section, the Company may refuse to deliver the Shares acquired under the Plan.
