select those individuals who are eligible to participate in the Plan, to determine the number, type, and amount of Awards to be granted to Participants, to construe and interpret the Plan and any Awards granted thereunder, to establish and amend
rules for Plan administration, to change the terms and conditions of Awards at or after grant (subject to the provisions of Section 18 hereof), to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any
Award granted under the Plan, and to make all other determinations which it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to Section 23 hereof and applicable law, the Committee will
have the discretionary authority to amend any outstanding Award Agreement in any respect, including, without limitation, to (1) accelerate the time or times at which the Award becomes vested, unrestricted or may be exercised or at which Stock
under the Award is delivered (and, in connection with such acceleration, may provide that any Stock acquired or delivered pursuant to such Award will be Restricted Stock, which is subject to vesting, transfer, forfeiture or 

  
 3 

 
repayment provisions similar to those in the Participant’s underlying Award), (2) waive or amend any goals, restrictions, vesting provisions or conditions set forth in such Award
Agreement, or impose new goals, restrictions, vesting provisions and conditions, (3) determine at any time whether, to what extent and under what circumstances and method or methods Awards may be exercised, cancelled, forfeited or suspected,
settled in cash, Stock, other securities, other Awards or other property (in which event, the Committee may specify what other effects such settlement will have on the Participants Award, including the effect on any repayment provisions under the
Plan or Award Agreement) and (4) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances Awards may be settled by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or any of their designees. 

The Committee or the Board may authorize one or more officers of the Company to select individuals to participate in the Plan and to determine
the number, type, and amount of Awards to be granted to such Participants. Any reference in the Plan to the Committee shall include such authorized officer or officers. 

The determinations of the Committee shall be made in accordance with their judgment as to the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders and in accordance with the purposes of the Plan. Any determination of the Committee under the Plan may be made without notice or meeting of the Committee, if in a writing signed by all the Committee members, and shall be conclusive, and
final and binding on all interested Persons to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan and Award Agreements (including, without limitation, whether a Participant has experienced a
termination of employment) need not be uniform and may be made selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). 

4. Participants. Participants may consist of any or all employees of, and individuals providing services to, the Company, its Subsidiaries and Joint
Ventures. Designation of a Participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate that individual to receive an Award in any other year or to receive the same type or amount of Award as granted to the Participant in any other year or
as granted to any other Participant in any year. The Committee shall consider all factors that it deems relevant in selecting Participants and in determining the type and amount of their respective Awards. 

5. Shares Available under the Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock available for grant of Awards under the Plan and the maximum
aggregate number of shares of Stock available for grant of Awards made to Executive Directors will be as determined by the Board at or prior to the first grant of Awards under the Plan (subject to modification pursuant to a resolution of the general
meeting of shareholders of the Company). The following shares of Stock related to Awards under the Plan may again be available for issuance under the Plan: (a) any shares of Stock covered by an Award which are settled in cash and (b) any
Shares of Stock related to Stock Option or other Awards that expire, lapse, are forfeited or cancelled or terminate for any other reason without issuance of shares of Stock. Further, any shares of Stock subject to a SAR shall be counted as used only
to the extent shares of Stock are actually issued to the Participant upon exercise of the SAR. Any shares of Stock retained by the Company to comply with applicable income tax or social tax withholding requirements or withheld to facilitate payment
of the exercise price of a Stock Option, shall be deemed delivered for purposes of the Plan and will not be deemed to be Stock available for Awards under the Plan. 

All Stock issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued Stock or previously issued Stock that has been reacquired by the Company
(including treasury shares). To the extent required by applicable law, stock exchange or other regulatory requirements, Stock Options and unissued Stock may only be issued if authorized pursuant to the articles of association of the Company, a
resolution of the general meeting of shareholders of the Company (or, if authorized to do so by the articles of association of the Company or a general meeting of shareholders, by the Board) authorizing such issuance and excluding preference rights
for existing shareholders if applicable. The authorization shall not be applicable to the issuing of Stock to Participants who exercise a Stock Option. 

The Stock reserved for issuance and the other limitations set forth above shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 13(a)
hereof. 

  
 4 

 6. Types of Awards, Payments, and Limitations. Awards shall consist of Stock Options, SARs, Restricted
Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Share Units, and other Stock-based Awards, all as 
 described below. Payment of Awards may
be in the form of cash, Stock, other securities, other Awards, other property or combinations thereof as the Committee shall determine, and with the expectation that any Award of Stock shall be styled to preserve such restrictions as it may impose.
The Committee need not require the execution of any such agreement by a Participant. Acceptance of the Award by the applicable Participant shall constitute agreement by the Participant to the terms and conditions of the Award. 

The Committee may (but need not) provide that any Awards earn dividends or dividend equivalents and interest on such dividends or dividend
equivalents. Such dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid currently or may be credited to a Participant’s Plan account and are subject to the same terms and conditions, including, without limitation, the attainment of Performance
Criteria, as the underlying Award. Any crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents may be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish, including reinvestment in additional Stock or Stock equivalents. 

Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that sets forth the terms, conditions and limitations of such Award. Such terms may include,
but are not limited to, the term of the Award, the provisions applicable in the event the Participant’s employment terminates, and the Company’s authority (subject to the provisions of Section 18 hereof) to unilaterally or bilaterally
amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind any Award, including, without limitation, the ability to amend such Awards to comply with changes in applicable law. An Award may also be subject to other provisions (whether or not applicable to similar
Awards granted to other Participants, whether or not similarly-situated) as the Committee determines appropriate, including provisions intended to comply with applicable tax, securities laws, stock exchange and other regulatory requirements,
understandings or conditions as to the Participant’s employment, requirements or inducements for continued ownership of Stock after exercise or vesting of Awards, or forfeiture of Awards in the event of termination of employment shortly after
exercise or vesting, or breach of noncompetition or confidentiality agreements following termination of employment. 
 The Committee may
make retroactive adjustments to and the Participant shall reimburse to the Company any cash or equity based incentive compensation paid to the Participant where such compensation was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were
substantially the subject of an accounting restatement, and as a result of such accounting restatement it is determined that the Participant otherwise would not have been paid such compensation, regardless of whether or not the accounting
restatement resulted from the Participant’s fraud or misconduct. In each such instance, the Company will, to the extent practicable, seek to recover (a) the amount by which the Participant’s cash or equity based incentive compensation
for the relevant period exceeded the lower payment, if any, that would have been made based on the restated financial results, or (b) if in the Committee’s view the Participant engaged in fraud or misconduct that caused or partially caused
the need for the accounting restatement, the total amount of the Participant’s cash or equity based incentive compensation for the relevant period, plus a reasonable rate of interest. In addition to (and not in derogation of) the foregoing:
(y) to the extent required under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to its material noncompliance, as a result of misconduct, with any financial
reporting requirement under applicable securities laws, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer shall reimburse the Company for (i) any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received by that
individual from the Company during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurs) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement,
and (ii) any profits realized from the sale of securities of the Company during that 12-month period, and (z) to the extent required under Section 10D of the Exchange Act, effective on or after July 22, 2010, in the event that
the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to its material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws, the Company will recover from any current or former executive officer of the
Company who received incentive based compensation (including Stock Options awarded as compensation) during the 3-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, the excess of the amount of such
incentive based compensation received based on the erroneous data over what would have been paid to the executive officer under the accounting restatement. 

The Committee, in its sole discretion, either at the time of grant or by subsequent amendment, and subject to the provisions of Sections 18
and 23 hereof, may, except in the case of Stock Options and SARs, require or permit a Participant to elect to defer amounts or Stock that otherwise would be paid or delivered to the Participant as a result of the settlement of an Award under such
rules and procedures as the Committee may establish under the Plan, and to have any such deferred amounts or Stock credited to one or more accounts established for the Participant by the Committee on the Company’s books of account. 

  
 5 

 7. Stock Options. Stock Options may be awarded to Participants under such terms and conditions as may be
established by the Committee, except that reload options may not be granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the number of shares of Stock subject to each Stock Option and whether the Stock Option is an Incentive Stock Option. All of
the available Stock under the Plan may, but need not, be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options; provided, however, notwithstanding a Stock Option’s designation, to the extent that Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for
the first time by the Participant during any calendar year with respect to Stock whose aggregate Fair Market Value exceeds US$100,000, such Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. The exercise price for each Stock Option shall
be determined by the Committee but shall not be less than the higher of (i) EUR 0.01 or (ii) 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Stock Option is granted (or, if the grant date is not a trading day, the trading day
immediately prior to the grant date) unless the Stock Option is a substitute or assumed Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 14 hereof. Each Stock Option shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant. Stock
Options shall be exercisable at such time and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine; provided, however, that no Stock Option shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of its grant. Unless otherwise set
forth in the applicable Award Agreement, the exercise price, upon exercise of any Stock Option, shall be payable by or on behalf of the applicable Participant to the Company in full by: (a) cash payment or its equivalent; (b) tendering
previously acquired Stock purchased on the open market having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price or certification of ownership of such previously-acquired Stock; (c) to the extent permitted by applicable
law, delivery of a properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale proceeds from the Stock Option shares or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price and any
withholding taxes due to the Company; and (d) such other methods of payment as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Upon exercise of any Stock Option, the Stock will be issued in the manner as the Company may deem
appropriate. 
 8. Stock Appreciation Rights. SARs may be awarded to Participants under such terms and conditions as may be established by the
Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, substitute SARs which can be settled only in Stock for outstanding Stock Options. The grant price of a substitute SAR shall be equal to the
exercise price of the related Stock Option and the substitute SAR shall have substantive terms (e.g., duration) that are equivalent to the related Stock Option. The grant price of any other SAR shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the
Stock on the date of its grant (or, if the grant date is not a trading day, the trading day immediately prior to the grant date) unless the SARs are substitute or assumed SARs granted pursuant to Section 14 hereof. A SAR may be exercised upon
such terms and conditions and for the term the Committee in its sole discretion determines, as specified by the Committee in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall not exceed the Stock Option term in the case of a substitute SAR
or ten years in the case of any other SAR, and the terms and conditions applicable to a substitute SAR shall be substantially the same as those applicable to the Stock Option which it replaces. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant shall be
entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying (a) the excess (if any) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR by (b) the number of shares of
Stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised. The payment may be made in cash or Stock, or any combination thereof, at the discretion of the Committee, except in the case of a substitute SAR payment which may be made only in Stock. 

9. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be awarded to Participants under such terms and
conditions as shall be established by the Committee. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to vesting conditions and such other terms and conditions as the Committee determines, including, without limitation, any of the
following: 
 (a) a prohibition against sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance for a specified period; and

 (b) a requirement that the holder forfeit the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units in the event of termination of employment during
the period of restriction. 
 All restrictions shall expire and the Award shall vest at such times as the Committee shall specify. 

  
 6 

 10. Performance Shares and Performance Share Units. Performance Shares and Performance Share Units may be
awarded to Participants under such terms and conditions as shall be established by the Committee. Performance Shares and Performance Share Units shall be subject to the attainment of Performance Criteria during the applicable Performance Period and
the satisfaction of such vesting conditions and other terms and conditions established by the Committee. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction
of any Performance Criteria, the Performance Criteria for the applicable Performance Period and the number of shares of Stock issued or the amount of cash paid in respect of a Performance Shares Award or Performance Share Units Award may be adjusted
by the Committee on the basis of such further consideration as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine. 
 11. Other Stock-Based Awards.
In addition to the incentives described in Sections 6 through 10 hereof, the Committee may grant other Stock-based incentives payable in cash, Stock, or any combination thereof, under the Plan as it determines to be in the best interests of the
Company and subject to such other terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, as specified by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement. 
  

	12.	Change of Control. 

 (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, or otherwise
determined by the Committee, unless Awards are not assumed, converted or replaced in connection with a transaction that constitutes a Change of Control (in which case such Awards shall vest immediately prior to the Change of Control and all
Performance Criteria, to the extent applicable, shall be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met on Performance Shares and Performance Share Units), notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in
the event that the employment of the Participant is involuntarily terminated by the Company, or the applicable Subsidiary or Joint Venture, (or the applicable successor to such entity) other than for Cause within a twenty-four (24) month period
following the effective date of a Change of Control (a “Termination Event”): 
 (i) any Stock Options and SARs outstanding
which are not then exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and vested; 
 (ii) subject to Section 12(a)(vi), all
restrictions shall lapse and all other terms and conditions shall be deemed met on Restricted Stock and Performance Shares and such Awards shall be become fully vested and transferable; 

(iii) subject to Section 12(a)(vi), all Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Units shall be considered to be earned and vested
and payable in full, and such Awards shall be settled in cash or shares, or in any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 60 days following the Termination
Event); 
 (iv) all other Awards shall be paid out in cash or shares, or in any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee in its
discretion, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 60 days following the Termination Event); 
 (v) subject to the terms of
the Plan, the Committee may also make additional adjustments and/or settlements of outstanding Awards as it deems appropriate and consistent with the Plan’s purposes and applicable law; and 

(vi) all Performance Criteria shall be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met on Performance Shares and
Performance Share Units. 
 (b) If and to the extent provided in an Award Agreement or an employment agreement between the Participant and
the Company (or any Subsidiary or Joint Venture, as applicable) or otherwise determined by the Committee, unless Awards are not assumed, converted or replaced in connection with a transaction that constitutes a Change of Control (in which case such
Awards shall vest immediately prior to the Change of Control and all 

  
 7 

 
Performance Criteria, to the extent applicable, shall be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met on Performance Shares and Performance Share Units), the voluntary
termination of employment with the Company, or the applicable Subsidiary or Joint Venture, (or the applicable successor to such entity) by the Participant for Good Reason within a twenty-four (24) month period following the effective date of a
Change of Control may be deemed a Termination Event as a result of which the consequences set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 12(a) would apply. 

(c) In the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may in its discretion and upon at least ten (10) days’ advance notice to the
affected Participants, cancel any outstanding Awards and pay to the holders thereof, in cash or shares, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards based upon the price per share received or to be received by other shareholders of the
Company in the event. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Section 12
shall be applicable only to the extent specifically provided in the Award Agreement and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. 

(de) To the extent the effect of a Change of Control on any Award granted under the Plan is not otherwise addressed in this Section 12 or
the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, as to any such Award, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the acceleration of any time periods relating to the vesting, exercise or
realization of any such Award so that such Award may be exercised or realized in full on or before a date fixed by the Committee; (ii) provide for the purchase of any such Award; (iii) make such adjustment to any such Award then
outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change of Control; (iv) cause any such Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by the successor company (or a subsidiary or affiliate of such
successor company, as applicable) after such Change of Control; or (v) take any other action with respect to such Award as the Committee may determine is appropriate, in its sole discretion. 

For purposes of the Plan, the term “Change of Control” shall mean: 

(I) the acquisition by any Person of beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding capital stock of the Company that by its terms may be voted on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Company generally (“Voting Stock”); provided,
however, that the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company (excluding any acquisition resulting from the exercise of a conversion or exchange privilege in respect of
outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities unless such outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities were acquired directly from the Company); (ii) any acquisition by the Company; (iii) any acquisition by an employee benefit
plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company; or (iv) any acquisition by any entity pursuant to a reorganization, merger or consolidation involving the Company, if, immediately after such reorganization, merger or
consolidation, each of the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (II) below shall be satisfied; and provided further that, for purposes of clause (ii) above, if (A) any Person (other than the Company or any
employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company) shall become the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the Voting Stock by reason of an acquisition of Voting Stock by the Company, and (B) such Person shall, after
such acquisition by the Company, become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of the Voting Stock and such beneficial ownership is publicly announced, then such additional beneficial ownership shall constitute a Change of Control; or 

(II) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company, or the sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or at
least 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company (with the total gross fair market value of the total assets of the Company and the assets of the Company being sold, leased, exchanged, or transferred each determined
without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets), excluding, however, any such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale, lease, exchange or other transfer with respect to which, immediately after consummation of such transaction:
(i) all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction continue to beneficially own, directly or indirectly (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the entity resulting from such transaction), more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities 

  
 8 

 
of the entity resulting from such transaction (including, without limitation, the Company or an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or at least 50% of the total
gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company (as described in herein), directly or indirectly) (the “Resulting Entity”) outstanding immediately after such transaction, in substantially the same proportions relative to each
other as their ownership immediately prior to such transaction; and (ii) no Person (other than any Person that beneficially owned, immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition, directly or
indirectly, Voting Stock representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Stock) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
capital stock of the Resulting Entity; or 
 (III) upon the approval of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

 

	13.	Adjustment Provisions. 

 (a) In the event of any change affecting the number, class,
market price or terms of the Stock by reason of share dividend, share split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, disaffiliation of a Subsidiary, combination of Stock, exchange of Stock, Stock rights offering, or other
similar event, or any distribution to the holders of Stock other than a regular cash dividend, the Committee shall equitably substitute or adjust the number or class of Stock which may be issued under the Plan in the aggregate or to any one
Participant in any calendar year and the number, class, price or terms of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no adjustment shall be made to any Award under this Plan if or to the
extent such adjustment would cause an outstanding Award to fail to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code. 
 (b) In
the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company with or into another corporation which results in the outstanding Stock of the Company being converted into or exchanged for different securities, cash or other property, or any
combination thereof, there shall be substituted, on an equitable basis, for each share of Stock then subject to an Award, the number and kind of shares of stock, other securities, cash or other property to which holders of Stock will be entitled
pursuant to the transaction. 
 14. Substitution and Assumption of Awards. The Board or the Committee may authorize the issuance of Awards in
connection with the assumption of, or substitution for, outstanding equity awards previously granted to individuals who become employees of the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or
reorganization, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may deem appropriate. 
 15. Nontransferability. Awards shall not be transferable
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each Stock Option and SAR shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, in the event of disability, by the Participant’s personal
representative. In the event of the death of a Participant, exercise of any Award or payment with respect to any Award shall be made only to the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased Participant or to the Person or Persons to whom
the deceased Participant’s rights under the Award shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the approval of the Committee in its sole discretion, Stock Options may be transferable to charity or to members of the
immediate family of the Participant and to one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members, partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, or corporations in which such family members are the only shareholders. Members of
the immediate family means the Participant’s spouse, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings (including half brothers and sisters), and individuals who are family members by adoption. 

16. Taxes. The Company, Subsidiary and/or Joint Venture shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the wages, salary, bonus and other income paid by
the Company, or Joint Venture Subsidiary to the Participant or require a Participant to remit the amount of any federal, state and cantonal, local and social or payroll tax, including social security contributions, attributable to any amounts
payable or Stock deliverable under the Plan. The Company may defer making payment or delivery as to any Award, if any such tax is payable, until indemnified to its satisfaction, and the Company shall have no liability to any Participant for
exercising the foregoing right. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt, permit or require a Participant to pay 

  
 9 

 
all of or a portion of the federal, state and cantonal, local and social or payroll tax arising in connection with the grant, vesting, settlement, or exercise of any Award, by (i) having the
Company withhold shares of Stock, (ii) tendering shares of Stock received in connection with such Award back to the Company or (iii) delivering other previously acquired shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount
required to be withheld. 
 17. Duration of the Plan. No Award shall be made under the Plan more than ten years after the date of its adoption by the
Board; provided, however, that the terms and conditions applicable to any Award granted on or before such date may thereafter be amended or modified by mutual agreement between the Company and the Participant, or such other Person as may then have
an interest therein. 
 18. Amendment and Termination. The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan from time to time or terminate the Plan at any
time. However, unless expressly provided in an Award Agreement or the Plan, no such action shall reduce the amount of any existing Award or change the terms and conditions thereof without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, that the
Committee may, in its discretion, substitute SARs which can be settled only in Stock for outstanding Stock Options in accordance with Section 8 hereof, and may require an Award be deferred pursuant to Section 6 hereof, without a
Participant’s consent; and further provided that the Committee may amend or terminate an Award to comply with changes in applicable law without a Participant’s consent. 

The Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or
stock exchange rules. 
  

	19.	Other Provisions. 

 (a) The Committee may grant Awards to employees or other service
providers of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures who reside or performs services outside the United States. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion: (a) amend or vary the
terms of the Awards in order to conform such terms with the requirements of each jurisdiction where a Subsidiary or Joint Venture is located; (b) amend or vary the terms of the Plan in each jurisdiction where a Subsidiary is located as it
considers necessary or desirable to take into account or to mitigate or reduce the burden of taxation and social security contributions for Participants and/or the Subsidiary or Joint Venture; or (c) amend or vary the terms of the Plan in a
jurisdiction where the Subsidiary or Joint Venture is located as it considers necessary or desirable to meet the goals and objectives of the Plan. The Committee may where it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, establish one or more sub-plans
for these purposes, and establish administrative rules and procedures to facilitate the operation of the Plan in such jurisdictions. 
 (b)
Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s employment or service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Joint Ventures; nor interfere in any way with the
Participant’s right or the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and any enforceable agreement between the Participant and the
Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable. 
 (c) No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award,
and the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional shares of Stock, or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be
cancelled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated. 
 (d) In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held to be illegal or invalid for any
reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provisions had never been contained in the Plan. 

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Company shall have no liability to deliver any Award or make any other distribution of
benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act, the Italy Consolidated
Financial Act (Testo Unico delle Disposizioni in materia di intermediazione finanziaria), and the Netherlands Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht) and rules promulgated thereunder) and the shares of Stock in
respect of such Award are authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange or Mercato Telematico Azionario (organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.), provided that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the
Stock to effect such compliance. 

  
 10 

 (f) Except as otherwise provided in any Award Agreement or as expressly set forth herein, a
Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company until he or she becomes the holder of record of the shares of Stock. 
 (g)
Payments and other benefits received by a Participant under an Award shall not be deemed a part of a Participant’s compensation for purposes of determining the Participant’s benefits under any other employee benefit plans or arrangements
provided by the Company or a Subsidiary, unless the Committee expressly provides otherwise in writing or unless expressly provided under such other plan or arrangement. 

20. Governing Law. Subject to Section 19(a) hereof, the Plan and any actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with applicable federal law of the United States of America and, to the extent not pre-empted thereby or inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to any jurisdiction’s
conflict of laws principles. BY ACCEPTING ANY AWARD UNDER THE PLAN, THE PARTICIPANT EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN
RESPECT OF ANY MATTER RELATING THE PLAN THAT IS NOT OTHERWISE ARBITRATED OR RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 21 HEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO COMPEL ARBITRATION OR TO ENFORCE AN ARBITRATION AWARD. 

21. Arbitration. Any and every dispute or difference arising under, or in relation to the Plan, including any dispute or difference as to the validity,
meaning or effect hereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration in Wilmington, Delaware, United States of America under the Rules of the United States Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration award shall be final and binding and shall deal with
the question of the costs of arbitration and all matters relating thereto. The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of reasonable actual damages. The dispute shall be resolved by a single arbitrator appointed by the American
Arbitration Association. 
 22. Unfunded Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be
construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The Plan shall not establish a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other Person. To the extent any Person holds any rights by virtue of an Award under the Plan,
such right (unless otherwise determined by the Committee) shall be not greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
 23.
Code Section 409A. Awards generally are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A; provided, however, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or any other agreement or notice governing any Award, the following provisions
shall apply if and to the extent any payment made pursuant to an Award is subject to (and not exempt from) Code Section 409A: 
 (a)
Such payment shall comply with Code Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted, and such payment shall be made under such other conditions determined by the Committee that cause such payment,
to be in compliance with Code Section 409A. 
 (b) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any
provision of the Plan or an Award providing for the payment of any amounts upon or following a Participant’s termination date unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A,
applying the default rules thereof. 
 (c) With respect to any payment that is otherwise payable upon a Participant’s separation from
service, in the event the Participant is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), any such payment that would otherwise have been payable in the first six months following the Participant’s separation from
service date will not be paid to the Participant until the date that is six months and one day following the Participant’s separation from service date (or, if earlier, the Participant’s date of death), with any such deferred payments
being paid in a lump sum; provided that, thereafter, the remainder of any such payments shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the Award Agreement, as the case may be. 

  
 11 

 (d) Whenever a payment under the Plan or an Award Agreement specifies a period within which such
payment may be made, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee. 
 (e) In
no event shall any payment under the Plan that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be offset by any other payment pursuant to the Plan or otherwise. 

(f) To the extent required under Code Section 409A, (i) any reference herein to the term “Plan” shall mean this Plan and
any other plan, agreement, method, program, or other arrangement, with which this Plan is required to be aggregated under Code Section 409A, and (ii) any reference herein to the term “Company” shall mean the Company and all
Persons with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Code Section 414(b) or 414(c). 
 In such case, if the Plan
or the terms of an Award Agreement fail to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A with respect to such Award, then such Award shall remain in effect and be subject to taxation in accordance with Code Section 409A and the Committee may
accelerate distribution or settlement of an Award in accordance with Code Section 409A. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no liability for any tax imposed on a Participant under Code Section 409A, and if any tax is imposed on a
Participant, the Participant shall have no recourse against the Company, its Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures for payment of any such tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any modification of an Award causes the Award to be deferred compensation
under Code Section 409A, the Committee may rescind such modification in accordance with Code Section 409A. 
 Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Plan, the Company, its Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures do not guarantee to any Participant or any other Person with an interest in an Award that any Award intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A shall be so exempt, nor
that any Award intended to comply with Code Section 409A or Code Section 422 shall so comply. 
 24. Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall
be binding on the Company and all Participants and their respective heirs, executors, agents, trustees, administrators, successors and assigns. 
 25.
Gender, Singular, Plural, Captions. Where the context of the Plan permits, words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural form of a word shall include the singular form, and the singular form of a word shall include
the plural form. In addition, the captions of the Sections of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions. 

26. Effective Date and Applicability. This Plan shall be effective as of [October 10, 2014], as adopted by the Board by written resolution, and the
provisions contained herein shall apply with respect to any and all Awards granted on or after such date.
