Nielsen Holdings 2010 Stock Incentive Plan



 Exhibit 10.2 
 Final (Post-Reverse Split) 
 NIELSEN HOLDINGS 2010 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 1. Purpose of the Plan 

The purpose of the Plan is to aid the Company and its Subsidiaries in recruiting and retaining key employees, directors or other service providers and to
motivate such employees, directors or other service providers to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries by providing incentives through the granting of Awards. The Company expects that it will benefit from the added
interest which such key employees, directors or other service providers will have in the welfare of the Company as a result of their proprietary interest in the Company’s success.

 3. Shares Subject to the Plan 
 (a) Subject to Section 10, the total
number of Shares which may available for Awards under the Plan is 12,120,000 Shares plus the number of shares remaining available for award under the 2006 Plan as of the Effective Date and the maximum number of Shares for which incentive stock
options may be granted is 6,060,000. The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The issuance of Shares shall reduce the total number of Shares available under the Plan. Shares related to Awards or portions of
Awards outstanding under the Plan and awards or portions of awards that are outstanding as of the Effective Date under the 2006 Plan that are (a) forfeited, terminated, canceled, expire unexercised, (b) withheld or tendered to satisfy tax
withholding obligations, the aggregate Option Price on the exercise of Options or the purchase price for any other Award, or (c) repurchased by the Company, in each case, shall immediately become available for new Awards. If an Award is settled
for cash (in whole or in part) or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the Shares subject to such Award (including in connection with payment in Shares on exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right) such Shares shall, to the
extent of such cash settlement or non-issuance, immediately become available for new Awards. 

  
 4 








 (b) Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made under the Plan in assumption of,
or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or a company acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines, subject to the limitations of Sections 6(f) and 7(d) below. The number
of Shares underlying awards made in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by a company acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries combines shall not
be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan, nor shall the Shares subject to such substitute awards become available for new Awards under the circumstances described in the prior paragraph of this
Section 3. In addition, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by shareholders and not
adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or
formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares
authorized for issuance; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made
to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such acquisition or combination. 
 4.
Administration 
 (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee; provided, however, that the Board
may, in its sole discretion, take any action delegated to the Committee under this Plan as it may deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent required by Netherlands law, Awards granted pursuant to this Plan
(to the extent they constitute options or other rights to acquire Shares) shall be deemed to have been granted subject to the approval of such Award (including its terms and conditions as established by the Compensation Committee) by the Board (if
and to the extent the Company’s general meeting of shareholders has delegated such authority to the Board) or by the Company’s general meeting of shareholders itself (if and to the extent the Company’s general meeting of shareholders
has not delegated such authority to the Board). No such authority from the Board or the Company’s general meeting of shareholders is required for the issuance of Shares upon exercise of a validly granted Award. 

(b) Subject to Section 16 of the Plan, the Committee is authorized to (i) interpret the Plan, (ii) establish, amend and
rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and (iii) make any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile
any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall lie within its sole and absolute
discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned (including, but not limited to, Participants and their beneficiaries or successors). The Committee shall have the full power and authority to establish the terms and
conditions of any Award consistent with the provisions of the Plan and to waive 

  
 5 








 
any such terms and conditions at any time (including, without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting conditions). The Committee may make Awards to Employees who are subject to the laws
of nations other than the United States, which Awards may have terms and conditions that differ from the terms of Awards granted to Employees in the United States as provided elsewhere in the Plan for the purpose of complying with foreign laws.

 (c) The Committee shall require payment of any amount it may determine to be necessary to withhold for federal, state, local
or other taxes as a result of the exercise, grant or vesting of an Award and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have the right and is authorized to withhold any applicable withholding taxes in respect to the Award, its exercise or any
payment or transfer under or with respect to the Award and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. To the extent permitted by the Committee,
the Participant may elect to pay a portion or all of such withholding taxes by (i) delivery of Shares, provided that such Shares have been held by the Participant for such period of time as the Company’s accountants may require or
(ii) with respect to minimum withholding amounts only, having Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount withheld by the Company from any Shares that would have otherwise been received by the Participant (i.e., through a “net
settlement” of such minimum tax withholding due). 
 5. Limitations 
 No Award may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. 

6. Terms and Conditions of Options 

Options granted under the Plan shall be non-qualified stock options unless specifically identified as incentive stock options for federal income tax
purposes, as determined by the Committee and evidenced by the related Award agreements, and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent therewith. The maximum number of Shares in respect of which such Options may be granted
during a fiscal year of the Company to any Participant shall be 1,250,000. In addition to the foregoing, except as otherwise determined by the Committee and evidenced by the related Award agreements, the Options shall also be subject to the
following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Option Price. The Option Price per Share shall be determined by the Committee, but
shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date an Option is granted (other than in the case of Options granted in substitution of previously granted awards, as described in Section 3). For the avoidance of doubt, to
the extent required by Netherlands law, the Option Price shall not be less than the nominal value per Share in respect of which the Option is being exercised. 
 (b) Exercisability. Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall an Option be
exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted; provided, however, in the event that any portion of an exercisable Option is scheduled to expire on such tenth anniversary date or otherwise scheduled to expire pursuant to the applicable
Award agreement 

  
 6 








 
and both (x) the date on which such portion of the Option is scheduled to expire falls during a Company blackout trading period applicable to the Participant (whether such period is imposed
at the election of the Company or is required by applicable law to be imposed) and (y) the exercise price per Share of such portion of the Option is less than the Fair Market Value, then on the date that such portion of the Option is scheduled
to expire, such portion of the Option (to the extent not previously exercised by the Participant) shall be automatically exercised on behalf of the Participant through a net settlement of both the exercise price and the minimum withholding taxes due
(if any) upon such automatic exercise (as described in Section 6(c)(v), below), and the net number of Shares resulting from such automatic exercise shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable thereafter. 

(c) Exercise of Options. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Award agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or
from time to time any part, of the Shares for which it is then exercisable. For purposes of Section 6 of the Plan, the exercise date of an Option shall be the later of the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company and, if applicable,
the date payment is received by the Company pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) in the following sentence. The purchase price for the Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company in full at the time
of exercise at the election of the Participant: (i) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by check); (ii) unless otherwise provided for by the Committee, at the election of the Participant, in Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to
the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, provided, that such Shares have been held by the Participant for such period of time as the Company’s
accountants may require to avoid adverse accounting treatment; (iii) unless otherwise provided for by the Committee, partly in cash and partly in such Shares; (iv) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, unless otherwise
provided for and subject to such rules as may be established by the Committee, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out
of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased; or (v) allow for payment through a “net settlement” feature (i.e., having Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise
price in respect of the portion of the Option to be exercised withheld by the Company from any Shares that would have otherwise been received by the Participant). No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a shareholder
with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan.

 (d) ISOs. The Committee may grant Options under the Plan that are intended to be “incentive stock options”
(within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) (“ISOs”). Such ISOs shall comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code (or any successor section thereto). No ISO may be granted to any Participant who at the time
of such grant, owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries, unless (i) the Option Price for such ISO is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of
a Share on the date the ISO is granted and (ii) the date on which such ISO terminates is a date not later than the day preceding the fifth anniversary of the date on which the ISO is granted. Any Participant who disposes of Shares acquired upon
the exercise of an ISO either (x) within two years after the date of grant of such ISO or (y) within one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the


  
 7 








 
amount realized upon such disposition. All Options granted under the Plan are intended to be nonqualified stock options, unless the applicable Award agreement expressly states that the Option is
intended to be an ISO. If an Option is intended to be an ISO, and, if for any reason such Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a
nonqualified stock option granted under the Plan; provided that such Option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with the Plan’s requirements relating to nonqualified stock options. In no event shall any member of the Committee, the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or their respective employees, officers or directors) have any liability to any Participant (or any other Person) due to the failure of an Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO. 

(e) Attestation. Wherever in this Plan or any agreement evidencing an Award a Participant is permitted to pay the Option Price of
an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such Shares, in
which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and shall withhold such number of Shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option. 

(f) Repricing of Options. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the repricing of an Option, once granted
hereunder, is prohibited without prior approval of the Company’s shareholders. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (i) changing the
terms of an Option to lower the Option Price; (ii) any other action that is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles; and (iii) repurchasing for cash or canceling an Option in exchange for another
Award at a time when the Option Price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a change in capitalization or similar change permitted under Section 10(a)
below. Such cancellation and exchange would be considered a “repricing” regardless of whether it is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles and regardless of whether it is voluntary on the part of
the Participant. 
 7. Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights 

(a) Grants. The Committee also may grant (i) a Stock Appreciation Right independent of an Option or (ii) a Stock
Appreciation Right in connection with an Option, or a portion thereof. The maximum number of Shares in respect of which such Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted during a fiscal year of the Company to any Participant shall be 1,250,000. A Stock
Appreciation Right granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted at the time the related Option is granted or at any time prior to the exercise or cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the
same number of Shares covered by an Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine) and (C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by
this Section 7 (or such additional limitations as may be included in an Award agreement). 
 (b) Terms. The exercise
price per Share of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be an amount determined by the Committee but in no event shall such amount be less than 100% of the 

  
 8 








 
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted (other than in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted in substitution of previously granted awards, as
described in Section 3); provided, however, that in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, the exercise price may not be less than the Option Price of the related
Option; and provided, further, that the exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right that is granted in exchange for an Option may be less than the Fair Market Value on the grant date if such exercise price is equal to the Option Price of the
exchanged Option. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent required by Netherlands law, the exercise price per Share of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than the nominal value per Share in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right
is being exercised. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over
(B) the exercise price per Share, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Stock Appreciation Right. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, shall entitle a Participant to surrender
to the Company the unexercised Option, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over (B) the Option
Price per Share, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered. The date a notice of exercise is received by the Company shall be the exercise date. Payment to the Participant shall be made in
Shares or in cash, or partly in Shares and partly in cash (any such Shares valued at such Fair Market Value), all as shall be determined by the Committee. Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised from time to time upon actual receipt by the
Company of written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. No fractional Shares will be issued in payment for Stock Appreciation Rights, but instead cash will be paid for
a fraction or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of Shares will be rounded downward to the next whole Share. 

(c) Limitations. The Committee may impose, in its discretion, such conditions upon the exercisability or transferability of Stock
Appreciation Rights as it may deem fit, but in no event shall a Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. 
 (d) Repricing of Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the repricing of a Stock Appreciation Right, once granted hereunder, is prohibited without prior
approval of the Company’s shareholders. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (i) changing the terms of a Stock Appreciation Right to
lower its exercise price; (ii) any other action that is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles; and (iii) repurchasing for cash or canceling a Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for another
Award at a time when its exercise price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a change in capitalization or similar change permitted under Section 10(a) of
the Plan. Such cancellation and exchange would be considered a “repricing” regardless of whether it is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles and regardless of whether it is voluntary on the part
of the Participant.

 8. Other Stock-Based Awards 
 The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant or sell Awards of Shares, Awards of restricted Shares, Awards of restricted stock units, and Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or
are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of Shares (such Awards, “Other Stock-Based Awards”). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including,
without limitation, the right to receive, or vest with respect to, one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance
objectives. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made, the
number of Shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards, whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, and all other terms and conditions of such
Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent required by Netherlands law, the
price paid per Share for Shares awarded in respect of Other Stock-Based Awards shall not be less than the nominal value of the underlying Share. 
 9. Performance-Based Awards 
 (a) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may
grant Awards which are denominated in Shares or cash (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include an Award of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and Other Stock-Based Awards) (such Awards, “Performance-Based Awards”), which
Awards may, but for the avoidance of doubt are not required to, be granted in a manner which is intended to be deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto). Such Performance-Based Awards shall be
in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive, or vest with respect to, one or more Shares or the cash value of the Award upon the completion of a specified
period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives. Performance-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent
required by Netherlands law, the price paid per Share for Shares awarded in respect of Performance-Based Awards shall not be less than the nominal value of the underlying Share. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to
whom and when Performance-Based Awards will be made, the number of Shares or aggregate amount of cash to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Performance-Based Awards, whether such Performance-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares
or a combination of cash and Shares, and all other terms and conditions of such Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued, to the extent applicable, shall be
fully paid and non-assessable). 
 (b) A Participant’s Performance-Based Award shall be determined based on the attainment
of written performance goals approved by the Committee for a performance period established by the Committee (i) while the outcome for that performance period is substantially uncertain and (ii) no more than 90 days after the
commencement of the performance period to which the performance goal relates or, if less, the number of days which is equal to 25 percent of 

  
 10 









 
the relevant performance period. The performance goals, which must be objective, shall be based upon one or more of the following criteria: (i) consolidated income before or after taxes
(including income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (ii) EBITDA; (iii) adjusted EBITDA; (iv) operating income; (v) net income; (vi) adjusted cash net income; (vii) adjusted cash net income per
Share; (viii) net income per Share; (ix) book value per Share; (x) return on members’ or shareholders’ equity; (xi) expense management; (xii) return on investment; (xiii) improvements in capital structure;
(xiv) profitability of an identifiable business unit or product; (xv) maintenance or improvement of profit margins; (xvi) stock price; (xvii) market share; (xviii) revenue or sales; (xiv) costs; (xx) cash flow;
(xxi) working capital; (xxii) multiple of invested capital; (xxiii) total return; and (xxiv) such other objective performance criteria as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, to the extent such criteria would be a
permissible performance criteria under Section 162(m) of the Code. The foregoing criteria may relate to the Company, one or more of its Subsidiaries or one or more of its or their divisions or units, or any combination of the foregoing, and may
be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative to one or more peer group companies or indices, or any combination thereof, all as the Committee shall determine. In addition, to the degree consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code (or any
successor section thereto), the performance goals may be calculated without regard to extraordinary items. The maximum amount of a Performance-Based Award granted in respect of any given performance period that may be earned during each fiscal year
of the Company covered by the performance period by any Participant shall be: (x) with respect to Performance-Based Awards that are denominated in Shares, 1,000,000 Shares and (y) with respect to Performance-Based Awards that are
denominated in cash, $10,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Performance-Based Award may be earned over a period that is longer than one fiscal year of the Company, the foregoing limitations shall apply to each full or partial
fiscal year during or in which such Award may be earned, and such limitations shall apply individually to each Performance-Based Award and not in the aggregate, to the extent multiple Performance-Based Awards are granted in respect of performance
periods that contain overlapping fiscal years of the Company. 
 (c) The Committee shall determine whether,
with respect to a performance period, the applicable performance goals have been met with respect to a given Participant and, if they have, during any period when Section 162(m) of the Code is applicable to the Company and the Plan and such
Performance-Based Award is intended to be deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Code, shall so certify and ascertain the amount of the applicable Performance-Based Award. No Performance-Based Awards will be paid for such
performance period until such certification, to the extent applicable, is made by the Committee. The amount of the Performance-Based Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable performance goal
formula, at the discretion of the Committee. The amount of the Performance-Based Award determined by the Committee for a performance period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion after the
end of such performance period; provided, however, that a Participant may, if and to the extent permitted by the Committee and consistent with the provisions of Sections 162(m) and 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable, elect to defer
payment of a Performance-Based Award.

 10. Adjustments Upon Certain Events 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all Awards granted under the Plan: 

(a) Generally. In the event of any Share dividend or split, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
combination, or transaction or exchange of Shares or other corporate exchange, any equity restructuring (as defined under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification 718), or any distribution to shareholders other
than regular cash dividends or any transaction similar to the foregoing, the Committee in its sole discretion and without liability to any Person shall make such substitution or adjustment as it deems reasonably necessary to address, on an equitable
basis, the effect of such event (subject to Section 20), as to (i) the number or kind of Shares or other securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan or pursuant to outstanding Awards, (ii) the maximum number of
Shares for which Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted during a fiscal year to any Participant, (iii) the maximum amount of a Performance Based Award that may be granted during a fiscal year to any Participant, (iv) the
Option Price or exercise price of any Award and/or (v) any other affected terms of such Awards. 
 (b) Change in
Control. In the event of a Change in Control that occurs after the Effective Date, unless the Committee otherwise provides in any applicable Award agreement at the time of the initial grant or in connection with the Change in Control:

 (i) If the successor or acquiring entity in the Change in Control does not agree to provide for the issuance of substitute
Awards on an equitable basis in a manner consistent with Section 10(a) of the Plan (such Awards, “Substitute Awards”), as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, then (x) any outstanding Awards held by a
Participant at the effective time of such Change of Control that are unexercisable or otherwise unvested or subject to lapse restrictions and are not assumed by a successor corporation in connection with such Change in Control shall automatically be
deemed exercisable or otherwise vested or no longer subject to lapse restrictions and (y) the Committee shall (subject to Section 20 of the Plan), (A) cancel Awards for fair value (as determined in the sole discretion of the
Committee), to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, may equal the excess, if any, of value of the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control transaction to
holders of the same number of Shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or, if no consideration is paid in any such transaction, the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) over the
aggregate Option Price or exercise price of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or (B) provide that for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the Change in Control, such Awards shall be exercisable, to the extent applicable,
as to all Shares subject thereto and the Committee may further provide that upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, such Awards shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to clause
(A) above, the Committee may cancel Options and Stock Appreciation Rights for no consideration if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights is less than or equal to the aggregate Option
Price of such Options or exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Rights. 

  
 12 









 (ii) If the successor or acquiring entity in the Change in Control does agree to provide
for the issuance of Substitute Awards, then any outstanding Awards held by a Participant at the effective time of such Change of Control that are unexercisable or otherwise unvested or subject to lapse restrictions shall not automatically be
deemed exercisable or otherwise vested or no longer subject to lapse restrictions, as the case may be, as of the date of the Change in Control; provided, however, that if, at any time during the two-year period following a Change in
Control the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated under a circumstance that would give rise to the Participant’s right to the payment of severance compensation pursuant to any Company or Subsidiary
severance plan, policy, arrangement or agreement, as of such date of termination, any then-unvested Awards outstanding hereunder shall become automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested or no longer subject to lapse restrictions.

 (iii) If the Committee establishes terms for the vesting or exercisability of any Award in connection with a Change in
Control that vary from the provisions set forth above in this Section 10(b) (i.e., the Committee provides for the vesting of an unvested Award at the time of a Change in Control where the acquiring or successor entity has agreed to provide for
the issuance of Substitute Awards), then the same such terms must apply to all other Awards having substantially similar vesting or exercisability terms that are held by all other Participants as of such time. For the avoidance of doubt, at the time
of a Change in Control, the Committee shall not be required to provide for similar treatment of Awards that are subject to vesting and exercisability terms that are dissimilar. 
 11. Forfeiture/Clawback 
 The Committee may, in its sole discretion, specify in an Award or
a policy that will be incorporated into an Award agreement by reference, that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of
certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, termination of Employment for cause, termination of the Participant’s
provision of services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or restatement of the Company’s financial statements to reflect
adverse results from those previously released financial statements, as a consequence of errors, omissions, fraud, or misconduct. 
 12. No
Right to Employment or Awards 
 The granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose no obligation on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
to continue the Employment of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s right to terminate the Employment of such Participant. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any
Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the
same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated). 

  
 13 









 13. Securities Laws 
 The Board may refuse to instruct the Company to issue or transfer any Shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such
Shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the
relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award granted hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the
Committee in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, laws of the United States (and any state thereof),
and the Netherlands. 
 14. Successors and Assigns 
 The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and a Participant, including without limitation, the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such
estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors. 
 15. Nontransferability of
Awards 
 Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, an Award shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant otherwise than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution. An Award exercisable after the death of a Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or distributees of the Participant. 

16. Amendments or Termination 
 Subject
to the limitations imposed under Sections 6(d) and 7(f) of this Plan, the Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan or any outstanding Award, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made, (a) without the approval of the
shareholders of the Company to the extent such approval is (i) required by or (ii) desirable to satisfy the requirements of, in each case, any applicable law, regulation or other rule, including, the listing standards of the securities
exchange, which is, at the applicable time, the principal market for the Shares, (b) without the consent of a Participant, if such action would materially and adversely affect any of the rights of the Participant under any Award theretofore
granted to such Participant under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as it deems necessary to permit the granting of Awards meeting the requirements of the Code or other applicable laws
(including, without limitation, to avoid adverse tax or accounting consequences to the Company or to Participants). 
 17. International
Participants 
 With respect to Participants who reside or work outside the United States of America and who are not (and who are not
expected to be) “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of the Plan or 

  
 14 









 
Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the requirements of local law or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant, the Company or a
Subsidiary. 
 18. Choice of Law 

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws, except to the extent
that the matter in question is mandatorily required to be governed by Netherlands law, in which case it will be governed by the applicable provision of Netherlands law. 
 19. Effectiveness of the Plan 
 The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date,
subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company. 
 20. Section 409A of the Code 

To the extent applicable, this Plan and all Awards granted hereunder are intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and will
be interpreted in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. References under the Plan or an Award to the Participant’s termination of Employment shall be deemed to refer to the date upon which the Participant has
experienced a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) if at the time of the Participant’s separation from service with any Service
Recipient the Participant is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such separation from service is
necessary in order to prevent the imposition of any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in
such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Participant) to the minimum extent necessary to satisfy Section 409A of the Code until the date that is six months and one day following the Participant’s separation from service
with all Service Recipients (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code), if such payment or benefit is payable upon a termination of Employment and (b) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to the
Participant hereunder would cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred, if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under
Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the minimum extent necessary, in a manner, reasonably determined by the Committee, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax or
result in an additional cost to the Company (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Participant).
