	3.	 	Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, you will “vest”
in, or have the right to exercise, this Stock Option as follows:

	 	(a)	 	On or after the first anniversary and until the tenth anniversary of the grant
date, you may exercise this Stock Option for up to one-fourth (25%) of the total number
of shares covered hereby;
	 
	 	(b)	 	On or after the second anniversary and until the tenth anniversary of the grant
date, you may exercise this Stock Option for up to one-half (50%) of the total number of

	 	(e)	 	No part of this Stock Option may be exercised after the tenth anniversary of the

	4.	 	This Stock Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless the following conditions
are met:

	 	(a)	 	You have accepted these Terms and Conditions either through on-line electronic
acceptance (if permitted by the Company) or by signing and returning to the Company a
copy of these Terms and Conditions. Signed copies of these Terms and Conditions should
be sent to the attention of: Western Union Stock Plan Administration, 12500 E. Belford
Avenue, M21B2, Englewood, Colorado 80112.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Legal counsel for the Company must be satisfied at the time of exercise that the
issuance of shares upon exercise will comply with applicable U.S. federal, state, local
and foreign laws.
	 
	 	(c)	 	You pay the exercise price as follows: (i) by giving notice to the Company or its
designee of the number of whole shares of Common Stock to be purchased and by making
payment therefor in full (or arranging for such payment to the Company’s satisfaction)
either (A) in cash, (B) by delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures
established by the Company) of Mature Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value,
determined as of the 

Executive Committee (U.S.)

 

 

	 	 	 	date of exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise,
(C) except as may be prohibited by applicable law, in cash by a broker-dealer
acceptable to the Company and to whom you have submitted an irrevocable notice of
exercise (i.e., also known as “cashless exercise”) or (D) by a combination of (A) and
(B) and (ii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request.

	 	(d)	 	You must, at all times during the period beginning with the grant date of this
Stock Option and ending on the date of such exercise, have been employed by the Company,
a Subsidiary or an Affiliate or have been engaged in a period of Related Employment,
with certain exceptions noted below. Service on the Board after receipt of a Stock
Option shall not be considered a termination of employment.
	 
	 	(e)	 	You have executed and returned to the Company or accepted electronically an
updated restrictive covenant agreement (and exhibits) if requested by the Company which
may contain certain noncompete, nonsolicitation and/or nondisclosure provisions. While
a court may sever any provision in the restrictive covenant agreement, you agree by
executing or electronically accepting the restrictive covenant agreement that you will
forfeit this Stock Option, whether vested or not, if you do not abide by the restrictive
covenant agreement as written.
	 
	 	(f)	 	You pay all applicable taxes, withholding obligations, securities fees, or other
costs, charges, or fees associated with the exercise. You may elect to satisfy your
obligation to pay all applicable taxes, withholding obligations, securities fees, or
other costs, charges, or fees by any of the following means: (A) a cash payment to the
Company, (B) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established
by the Company) to the Company of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value,
determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such
obligation, (C) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which
would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the
Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to you, equal
to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligations, (D) except as may be prohibited
by applicable law, a cash payment by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom
you have submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise, or (E) any combination of (A) and
(B). Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have an aggregate Fair
Market Value in excess of the amount determined by applying the minimum statutory
withholding rate. You (or any beneficiary or person entitled to act on your behalf)
shall provide the Company with any forms, documents or other information reasonably
required by the Company.

	5.	 	Absent a period of Related Employment or service on the Board subsequent to the grant date,
if you terminate employment or cease providing services to the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate while holding this Stock Option, your right to exercise the Stock Option and the
time during which you may exercise the Stock Option depends on the reason for your
termination.

	 	(a)	 	Disability. If your employment with or service to the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates by reason of Disability, this Stock Option shall
become fully vested and exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by you (or your
legal representative or similar person) until the date which is one year after the
effective date of your termination of employment or service, or if earlier, the
expiration date of the term of this Stock Option.

	 	(b)	 	Retirement. If your employment with or service to the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates by reason of Retirement, this Stock Option shall
continue to vest in accordance 

Executive Committee (U.S.)

 

 

	 	 	 	with its terms, and to the extent vested, may thereafter
be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person) until the date
which is four years after the effective date of your termination of employment or
service, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option.

	 	(c)	 	Death. If your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or
an Affiliate terminates by reason of death, this Stock Option shall become fully vested
and exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by your executor, administrator, legal
representative, beneficiary or similar person until the date which is one year after the
date of death, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Involuntary Termination Without Cause. Except to the extent paragraph 7
applies, if your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate
is terminated involuntarily and without Cause and you are an eligible participant in the
Severance/Change in Control Policy applicable to members of the Company’s Executive
Committee, subject to the terms of such policy, the unvested portion of this Stock
Option shall vest on a prorated basis effective on your termination date. Such prorated
vesting shall be calculated by multiplying the unvested portion of the Stock Option by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed between the
grant date and your termination date and the denominator of which is the number of days
between the grant date and the date the Stock Option would have become fully vested,
treating each separate vesting tranche of the Stock Option as a separate Stock Option
award. The unvested portion of this Stock Option that does not become vested under such
calculation shall be forfeited effective on your termination date and shall be canceled
by the Company. The vested portion of this Stock Option, including any portion that had
previously become vested and the prorated portion that vests effective on your
termination date in accordance with the above calculation, may be exercised by you (or
your legal representative or similar person) until the end of your severance period
under such Policy or, if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option.
If your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate is
terminated involuntarily and without Cause and you are not an eligible participant in
the Severance/Change in Control Policy applicable to members of the Company’s Executive
Committee on the date of such termination, this Stock Option shall cease to vest, and to
the extent already vested, may thereafter be exercised by you (or your legal
representative or similar person) until the date which is three months after such
involuntary termination, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock
Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the time of your termination of
employment, you have satisfied the applicable age or age and service requirement for
“Retirement” under the Plan, the provisions of paragraph 5(b) above, rather than this
paragraph 5(d), shall be applicable to this Stock Option.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Termination for Cause. If your employment with or service to the Company,
a Subsidiary or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause, this Stock Option shall cease to
vest, and to the extent already vested, may thereafter be exercised by you (or your
legal representative or similar person) until the close of the New York Stock Exchange
(if open) on the date of your termination of employment or service. If the New York
Stock Exchange is closed at the time of your termination of employment, this Stock
Option shall be forfeited at the time your employment is terminated and shall be
canceled by the Company.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Other Termination. If your employment with or service to the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates for any reason other than Disability, Retirement,
death, involuntary termination without Cause or termination for Cause, this Stock Option
shall cease to vest, and 

Executive Committee (U.S.)

 

 

	 	 	 	to the extent already vested, may thereafter be exercised by
you (or your legal representative or similar person) until the close of the New York
Stock Exchange (if open) on the date which is the thirtieth (30th) day
following your termination of employment or service, or if earlier, the expiration date
of the term of this Stock Option. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on the
thirtieth (30th) day following your termination of employment or service,
then your unexpired Stock Option may be exercised until the close of the New York Stock
Exchange on the next following day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open, after
which time this Stock Option shall be forfeited and canceled by the Company.

	 	(g)	 	Death Following Termination of Employment or Service. If you die during
the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period, this Stock Option will be exercisable
only to the extent that the Stock Option is exercisable on the date of your death and
may thereafter be exercised by your executor, administrator, legal representative,
beneficiary or similar person until the date which is one year after the date of your
death, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option.

	6.	 	So long as you continue to be a member of the Executive Committee of the Company, you may
transfer this Stock Option to a Family Member or Family Entity without consideration;
provided, however, in the case of a transfer of this Stock Option to a limited liability
company or a partnership which is a Family Entity, such transfer may be for consideration
consisting solely of an entity interest in the limited liability company or partnership to
which the transfer is made. Any transfer of this Stock Option shall be in a form acceptable
to the Committee, shall be signed by you and shall be effective only upon written
acknowledgement by the Committee of its receipt and acceptance of such notice. If this Stock
Option is transferred to a Family Member or Family Entity, the Stock Option may not thereafter
be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by such Family
Member or Family Entity except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee
has delegated its responsibilities under this paragraph 6 to the Company’s General Counsel.
	 
	7.	 	If you are an eligible participant in the Severance/Change in Control Policy applicable to
members of the Company’s Executive Committee at the time of a Change in Control and your
employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates for an eligible reason
under such policy during the 24-month period commencing on the effective date of the Change in
Control, then this Stock Option shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable
effective on the date of your termination and may thereafter be exercised by you (or your
legal representative or similar person) until the end of your severance period under such
policy (or, if, at the time of your termination of employment, you have satisfied the
applicable age or age and service requirement for “Retirement” under the Plan, four years
after the effective date of your termination of employment) or, if earlier, the expiration
date of the term of this Stock Option.
	 
	8.	 	The Board or Committee may amend or terminate the Plan and the Committee may amend (or its
delegate may amend) these Terms and Conditions. No amendment may impair your rights as an
option holder without your consent. The determination of such impairment shall be made by the
Committee in its sole discretion.
	 
	9.	 	The Committee (or its delegate) administers the Plan and has discretion to interpret the Plan
and this Agreement. Any decision or interpretation rendered by the Committee or its delegate
shall be final,
conclusive and binding on you and all persons claiming under or through you. By accepting
this grant or other benefit under the Plan, you and each person claiming under or through you
shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated acceptance and ratification of, and consent
to, any action taken under the Plan by the Committee or its delegate.

Executive Committee (U.S.)

 

 

	10.	 	The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan and this
Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the
State of Delaware.
	 
	11.	 	You acknowledge that you have read the Company’s Clawback Policy. In consideration of the
grant of this Stock Option, you agree to abide by the Company’s Clawback Policy and any
determinations of the Board pursuant to the Clawback Policy. Without limiting the foregoing,
and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Board determines
that any Incentive Compensation (as defined in the Company’s Clawback Policy) received by or
paid to you resulted from any financial result or performance metric that was impacted by your
misconduct or fraud and that compensation should be recovered from you (such amount being
recovered, the “Clawbacked Compensation”), then upon such determination, the Board may recover
such Clawbacked Compensation by (a) cancelling all or any portion of this Stock Option (the
“Clawbacked Portion”) and, in such case, you shall cease to be entitled to exercise the
Clawbacked Portion of this Stock Option and the Clawbacked Portion of this Stock Option shall
automatically and without further action of the Company be cancelled, (b) requiring you to
deliver to the Company shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of this Stock Option
(to the extent held by you), (c) requiring you to repay to the Company any profit resulting
from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of this Stock Option or (d)
any combination of the remedies set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c). The foregoing remedies
are in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company due to your
misconduct or fraud. Any determination by the Board with respect to the foregoing shall be
final, conclusive and binding upon you and all persons claiming through you.

	 
	 	 	I hereby confirm that the foregoing
and the documents attached hereto are
hereby in all respects accepted and
agreed to by the undersigned as of
the date of this Agreement:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Signature:

	 	 
	 	Printed Name:

pursuant to which you have been granted a Nonqualified Stock Option (“Stock Option”) under The
Western Union Company 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A copy of the Plan is
enclosed for your convenience. The terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated in this
Agreement by reference and made a part hereof. Any capitalized terms used in this Agreement

Option, the grant date of the Stock Option and the option exercise price are all specified in

date, you may exercise this Stock Option for up to one-fourth (25%) of the total number
of shares covered hereby;

the grant date listed in the Award Notice;
	 
	 	(f)	 	If you are an eligible participant in the Severance/Change in Control Policy
applicable to members of the Company’s Executive Committee at the time of a Change in
Control and your employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates
for an eligible reason under such policy during the 24-month period commencing on the
effective date of the Change in Control, then this Stock Option shall immediately
become fully vested and exercisable effective on the date of your termination and may
thereafter be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person) until
the end of your severance period under such Policy (or, if, at the time of your
termination of employment, you have satisfied the applicable age or age and service
requirement for “Retirement” under the Plan, four years after the effective date of
your termination of employment, unless such extended exercise period would be deemed to
be impermissible age discrimination under local law, as determined in the sole
discretion of the Committee) or, if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this
Stock Option.

	 	 	This option may not be exercised for a fraction of a common share of the Company.
	 
	4.	 	This Stock Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless the following conditions
are met:

	 	(a)	 	You have accepted these Terms and Conditions either through on-line electronic
acceptance (if permitted by the Company) or by signing and returning to the Company a
copy of these Terms and Conditions. Signed copies of these Terms and Conditions should
be sent to the attention of: Western Union Stock Plan Administration, 12500 E. Belford
Avenue, M21B2, Englewood, Colorado 80112.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Legal counsel for the Company must be satisfied at the time of exercise that
the issuance of shares upon exercise will comply with applicable U.S. federal, state,
local and foreign laws.
	 
	 	(c)	 	You pay the exercise price as follows: (i) by giving notice to the Company or
its designee of the number of whole shares of Common Stock to be purchased and by
making payment therefor in full (or arranging for such payment to the Company’s
satisfaction) either (A) in cash, (B) except as may be prohibited by applicable law, in
cash by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company and to whom you have submitted 

 

 

	 	 	 	an irrevocable notice of exercise (i.e., also known as “cashless exercise”) or (C) by a
combination of (A) and (B), and (ii) by executing such documents as the Company may
reasonably request.

	 	(d)	 	You must, at all times during the period beginning with the grant date of this
Stock Option and ending on the date of such exercise, have been employed by the
Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate or have been engaged in a period of Related
Employment, with certain exceptions noted below. Service on the Board after receipt of
a Stock Option shall not be considered a termination of employment.

	5.	 	Absent a period of Related Employment or service on the Board subsequent to the grant date,
if you terminate employment or cease providing services to the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate while holding this Stock Option, your right to exercise the Stock Option and the
time during which you may exercise the Stock Option depends on the reason for your
termination.

	 	(a)	 	Disability. If your employment with or service to the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates by reason of Disability, this Stock Option shall
become fully vested and exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by you (or your
legal representative or similar person) until the date which is one year after the
effective date of your termination of employment or service, or if earlier, the
expiration date of the term of this Stock Option.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Retirement. If your employment with or service to the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates by reason of Retirement, this Stock Option shall
continue to vest in accordance with its terms, and to the extent vested, may thereafter
be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person) until the date
which is four years after the effective date of your termination of employment or
service, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. In
administering the Plan, the Committee reserves the right to treat your termination of
employment due to Retirement the same as “Other Termination” (as defined in this
Agreement) in the event that application of the immediately preceding sentence would be
deemed to be impermissible age discrimination under local law, as determined in the
sole discretion of the Committee.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Death. If your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary
or an Affiliate terminates by reason of death, this Stock Option shall become fully
vested and exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by your executor, administrator,
legal representative, beneficiary or similar person until the date which is one year
after the date of death, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock
Option.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Involuntary Termination Without Cause. Except to the extent paragraph
3(f) applies, if your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate is terminated involuntarily and without Cause and you are an eligible
participant in the Severance/Change in Control Policy applicable to members of the
Company’s Executive Committee, subject to the terms of such policy, the unvested
portion of this Stock Option shall vest on a prorated basis effective on your
termination date. Such prorated vesting shall be calculated by multiplying the
unvested portion of the Stock Option by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days that have elapsed between the grant date and your termination date and
the denominator of which is the number of days between the grant date and the date the
Stock Option would have become fully vested, treating each separate vesting tranche of
the Stock Option as a separate Stock Option award. The unvested portion of this Stock
Option that does not become vested under such calculation shall be forfeited effective
on your termination date and shall be canceled by the Company. The vested portion of
this Stock Option, including any portion that had previously become vested and the
prorated portion that vests effective on your termination date in accordance with the
above calculation may be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar
person) until the end of your severance period under such Policy or, if earlier, the
expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. If your employment with or service
to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate is terminated involuntarily and without
Cause and you are not an eligible participant in the Severance/Change in Control Policy
applicable to members of the Company’s Executive Committee on the date of such
termination, this Stock Option shall cease to vest, and to the extent already vested,
may thereafter be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person)
until the date which is three months after such involuntary termination, or if earlier,
the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if, at the time of your termination of employment, you have satisfied the applicable
age or age and service requirement for “Retirement” under the Plan, the 

Executive Committee (Austria)

 

 

	 	 	 	provisions of
paragraph 5(b) above, rather than this paragraph 5(d), shall be applicable to this
Stock Option.

	 	(e)	 	Termination for Cause. If your employment with or service to the
Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause, this Stock Option shall
cease to vest, and to the extent already vested, may thereafter be exercised by you (or
your legal representative or similar person) until the close of the New York Stock
Exchange (if open) on the date of your termination of employment or service. If the
New York Stock Exchange is closed at the time of your termination of employment, this
Stock Option shall be forfeited at the time your employment is terminated and shall be
canceled by the Company.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Other Termination. If your employment with or service to the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates for any reason other than Disability, Retirement,
death, involuntary termination without Cause, or termination for Cause, this Stock
Option shall cease to vest, and to the extent already vested, may thereafter be
exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person) until the close of
the New York Stock Exchange (if open) on the date which is the thirtieth
(30th) day following your termination of employment or service, or if
earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. If the New York Stock
Exchange is closed on the thirtieth (30th) day following your termination of
employment or service, then your unexpired Stock Option may be exercised until the
close of the New York Stock Exchange on the next following day on which the New York
Stock Exchange is open, after which time this Stock Option shall be forfeited and
canceled by the Company.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Death Following Termination of Employment or Service. If you die during
the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period, this Stock Option will be exercisable
only to the extent that the Stock Option is exercisable on the date of your death and
may thereafter be exercised by your executor, administrator, legal representative,
beneficiary or similar person until the date which is one year after the date of your
death, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option.

	6.	 	Subject to any restrictions imposed by local law, so long as you continue to be a member of
the Executive Committee of the Company, you may transfer this Stock Option to a Family Member
or Family Entity without consideration; provided, however, in the case of a transfer of this
Stock Option to a limited liability company or a partnership which is a Family Entity, such
transfer may be for consideration consisting solely of an entity interest in the limited
liability company or partnership to which the transfer is made. Any transfer of this Stock
Option shall be in a form acceptable to the Committee, shall be signed by you and shall be
effective only upon written acknowledgement by the Committee of its receipt and acceptance of
such notice. If this Stock Option is transferred to a Family Member or Family Entity, the
Stock Option may not thereafter be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of by such Family Member or Family Entity except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution. The Committee has delegated its responsibilities under this
paragraph 6 to the Company’s General Counsel.
	 
	7.	 	The Company shall have the right to require, as of the grant, vesting or exercise of an
option and the sale of any shares of stock received upon exercise of an option, that you (or
any person acting under Paragraph 5 above):

	 	(a)	 	Pay to the Company or its designee, upon its demand, such amount as may be
requested for the purpose of satisfying its obligation or the obligation of any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates or other person to withhold U.S. federal, state, local or
foreign income, employment or other taxes incurred by reason of the shares. You may
satisfy your obligation to pay such amounts by authorizing the Company to withhold from
your wages or other cash compensation, from proceeds from the sale of shares or from
the shares purchased by you pursuant to the exercise shares having a fair market value
on the date of exercise equal to the withholding amount. If the amount requested for
the purpose of satisfying the withholding obligation is not paid, the Company may
refuse to allow you to exercise the option; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	Provide the Company with any forms, documents or other information reasonably
required by the Company in connection with the grant.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income
tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment
on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax Related Items”), you acknowledge that
the ultimate liability for all Tax Related Items legally due remains your
responsibility and that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax Related Items in connection with any aspect of the
Stock Options, including the 

Executive Committee (Austria)

 

 

	 	 	 	grant of the Stock Options, the exercise of the Stock
Options, the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any Shares
acquired at exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) does not
commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Stock Options to
reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax Related Items.

	 	(d)	 	Prior to the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Stock Options, you shall
pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company (in its sole discretion)
to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company. In this
regard, you authorize the Company to withhold all applicable Tax Related Items legally
payable by you from your wages or other cash compensation payable to you by the Company
upon exercise of any Stock Options. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible
under local law, the Company may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell or arrange for the
sale of Shares to be issued on the exercise of the Stock Options to satisfy the
withholding or payment on account obligation, and/or (ii) withhold in Shares, provided
that the Company shall withhold only the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the
minimum withholding amount. You shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax Related
Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of your receipt of the

comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax Related Items as described
herein.

your written consent.
	 
	9.	 	Any action taken or decision made by the Company, the Board, or the Committee or its
delegates arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration,

	10.	 	The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan, and of its

may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company or the Committee at any time; (ii) the
grant of the Stock Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or

options have been granted repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to any such
future grants will be at the sole discretion of the Committee; (iv) your participation in the
Plan shall not create a right to further employment with your Employer (“Employer”) and shall
not interfere with the ability of your Employer to terminate your employment relationship at
any time with or without cause; (v) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (vi) the
value of the option is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of
your employment contract, if any; (vii) the options are not part of normal or expected

severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards,
pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (viii) in the event of involuntary
termination of your employment, your right to receive options under the Plan, if any, will
terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed regardless of any
reasonable notice period mandated under local law (including but not limited to statutory law,
regulatory law and/or common law) and the right to receive grants of options will not continue
during any required notice period; (ix) the options have not been granted to you in
consideration of your employment with your Employer, but is purely a gratuity extended by the
Company at its sole discretion, and the option grant can in no event be understood or
interpreted to mean that the Company is your employer or that you have an employment
relationship with the Company; (x) the future value of the underlying shares is unknown and
cannot be predicted with certainty; (xi) if the underlying shares do not increase in value,
the options will have no value; and (xii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages

paid to you resulted from any financial result or performance metric that was impacted by your
misconduct or fraud and that compensation should be recovered from you (such amount being
recovered, the “Clawbacked Compensation”), then upon such determination, the Board may recover
such Clawbacked Compensation by (a) cancelling all or any portion of this Stock Option (the

misconduct or fraud. Any determination by the Board with respect to the foregoing shall be
final, conclusive and binding upon you and all persons claiming through you.
