HESKA CORPORATION 
STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
Most Recently Amended and Restated Effective April 8, 2020
ARTICLE 1.
INTRODUCTION.
The Heska Corporation 1997 Stock Incentive Plan was originally adopted by the Board effective March 15, 1997 (the “Original Plan”). The Original Plan was subsequently amended and/or restated as of March 6, 2007, May 5, 2009, February 22, 2012, March 25, 2014, and May 6, 2014, March 28, 2016, March 7, 2018, May 3, 2018, December 19, 2018 and May 2, 2019 (the “Amended and Restated Plan”). The number of Common Shares available for issuance and subject to Awards under the Amended and Restated Plan was adjusted in connection with completion of the Company’s 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split on December 30, 2010. The Board approved on March 14, 2019, and the Company’s stockholders approved on May 2, 2019  The Board approved on February 19, 2020, and the Company’s stockholders approved on April 8, 2020 the further amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Plan to, among other things, provide the Company with the ability to make Awards in the form of Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Other Cash Based Awards, and Other Stock Based Awards, in addition to its existing ability to grant Awards of Restricted Shares and Options, and to add an annual limit on the cash and equity compensation that may be paid to each Outside Director of the Company increase the number of shares authorized for issuance  thereunder. 
The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Options (which may constitute ISOs or NQOs), Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance-Based Awards, Other Cash-Based Awards, or Other Stock-Based Awards.
The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado (except its choice-of-law provisions).
ARTICLE 2.
ADMINISTRATION.
		
	2.1
	COMMITTEE COMPOSITION. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall consist exclusively of two or more directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. In addition, the composition of the Committee shall satisfy:

		
	(a)
	Such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act; and

		
	(b)
	Such requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may establish for outside directors acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.

The Board may also appoint one or more separate committees of the Board, each composed of one or more directors of the Company who need not satisfy the foregoing requirements, who may administer the Plan with respect to Employees and Consultants who are not considered officers or directors of the Company under section 16 of the Exchange Act, may grant Awards under the Plan to such Employees and Consultants and may determine all terms of such Awards.
		
	2.2
	COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES. The Committee shall (a) select the Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the type, number, vesting requirements and other features and conditions of such Awards, (c) interpret the Plan and (d) make all other decisions relating to the operation of the Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it 

4

deems appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committee may amend or modify any outstanding Awards in any manner to the extent the Committee would have had the authority under the Plan initially to make such Awards as so amended or modified. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.
		
	2.3
	INDEMNIFICATION. No member of the Board or the Committee, or any officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, omission, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company and of any Subsidiary thereof acting on their behalf shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Company’s by-laws and governing documents, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, omission, determination or interpretation.

		
	2.4
	BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS. If permitted by the Committee, a Participant under the Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the beneficiary designated by the Participant in the Company’s qualified 401(k) savings plan, or if none, to the Participant’s surviving spouse, or if none, to the Participant’s estate.

ARTICLE 3.
SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.
		
	3.1
	BASIC LIMITATION. Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares, or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. The number of Common Shares stated in this Section 3.1 as available for the grant of Awards is subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 12. As of March 7, 2018, the aggregate number of Common Shares cumulatively authorized by the Company’s stockholders for issuance as Awards under the Plan was 2,635,130. Of that total, as of March 7, 2018, Previously Issued Awards have been issued covering 2,578,093 Common Shares, leaving 57,037 Common Shares for the issuance of Awards under the Plan. With the March 7, 2018 amendment and restatement of the Plan, the Company’s Board and stockholders approved an increase of 250,000 in the aggregate number of Common Shares available for Awards under the Plan, to a new total of 2,885,130. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the additional 250,000 Common Shares the Company’s Board and stockholders approved for Awards under the Plan as of March 7, 2018 will not be available for issuance with respect to any Award granted prior to November 2, 2017. Effective as of April 8, 2020, the Company’s Board and stockholders approved an increase of 300,000 in the aggregate number of Common Shares available for Awards under the  Plan, to a new total of 3,185,130. 

		
	3.2
	ADDITIONAL SHARES. Any Common Shares subject to an Award that is canceled, forfeited or expires prior to exercise or realization, either in full or in part, shall again become available for issuance under the Plan as Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: Common Shares subject to an Award under the Plan shall not again be made available for issuance or delivery under the Plan if such Common Shares are (a) tendered in payment of an Option, or (b) delivered or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation.

		
	3.3
	MINIMUM VEESTING REQUIREMENTS. Subject to the following sentence, Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Committee may permit acceleration of vesting of an Award in the event of a Participant’s death, Disability, or Retirement, or the occurrence of a Change in Control, and (ii) the Committee may grant Awards covering five percent (5%) or fewer of the total number of Common Shares authorized under the Plan without respect to the above-described minimum vesting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 

5

with respect to Awards made to Outside Directors, the vesting of such Awards will be deemed to satisfy the one-year minimum vesting requirement to the extent that the Awards vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next regular annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders that is at least fifty (50) weeks after the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting.
		
	3.4
	LIMITATION ON OUTSIDE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, compensation paid to an Outside Director, including cash fees and Awards under the Plan (based on the grant date Fair Market Value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes), shall not exceed $300,000 per fiscal year in respect of his or her service as an Outside Director. For the avoidance of doubt, compensation shall be counted toward this limit for the Board compensation year in which it is earned (and not when it is paid or settled in the event that it is deferred).

		
	3.5
	PER-PARTICIPANT ANNUAL AWARD LIMITS. The Awards granted under the Plan to one Participant in a single fiscal year of the Company may not exceed the following limits: (i) 50,000 Common Shares subject to Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights in the aggregate, except that Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights granted to a new Employee in the fiscal year of the Company in which his or her service as an Employee first commences shall not cover more than 100,000 Common Shares in the aggregate; (ii) 45,000 Common Shares granted in the form of Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, and/or Other Stock-Based Awards in the aggregate, except a new Employee may receive grants of up to 75,000 Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, and/or Other Stock-Based Awards in the aggregate in the fiscal year of the Company in which his or her service with the Company begins; and (iii) no more than $500,000 may be paid in the form of Other Cash-Based Awards to any single Participant per calendar year. The limitations set forth in the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 12.

ARTICLE 4. 
ELIGIBILITY.
		
	4.1
	AWARDS OTHER THAN ISOs. Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants shall be eligible for the grant of Awards other than ISOs.

		
	4.2
	INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Only Employees who are common-law employees of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs.

ARTICLE 5. 
OPTIONS.
		
	5.1
	STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The Award Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NQO. The provisions of the various Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a cash payment or in consideration of a reduction in the Participant’s other compensation.

		
	5.2
	NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Award Agreement shall specify the number of Common Shares subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 12.

		
	5.3
	EXERCISE PRICE. Each Award Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price; provided that the Exercise Price under an Option shall in no event be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant.

		
	5.4
	INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. The grant of ISOs shall be subject to all of the requirements of Code Section 422, including the following limitations:

6

		
	(a)
	The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than one-hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant; provided, however, if on the date of grant, the Employee (together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Code Section 424(d)) owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a “10% Stockholder”), the Exercise Price shall not be less than one-hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant.

		
	(b)
	ISOs may be granted only to persons who are, as of the date of grant, Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary, and may not be granted to Consultants or Outside Directors.

		
	(c)
	To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as NQOs to the extent required by Code Section 422. For purposes of this Section 5.4(c), ISOs shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Common Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Common Shares is granted.

		
	(d)
	In the event of a Participant’s change of status from Employee to Consultant or Outside Director, an ISO held by the Participant shall cease to be treated as an ISO and shall be treated for tax purposes as an NQO three (3) months and one (1) day following such change of status.

5.5    EXERCISABILITY. Each Award Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of
the Option is to become exercisable. A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement or other events and may
provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Participant’s service. NQOs may also be awarded in combination with Restricted Shares, and such an Award may
provide that the NQOs will not be exercisable unless the related Restricted Shares are forfeited.
		
	5.6
	OPTION TERM. Unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, but in any event, no later than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof, each Option shall terminate no later than the first to occur of the following events:

		
	(a)
	Date in Award Agreement. The date for termination of the Option set forth in the Award Agreement;

		
	(b)
	Termination of Service. The ninetieth (90th) day following the date on which the Participant’s service terminates (other than for a reason described in subsections (c) or (d) below);

		
	(c)
	Disability. In the event that a Participant’s service terminates due to the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement). If, at the date of termination, the Participant is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Common Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Common Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan?

		
	(d)
	Death. In the event of the death of a Participant, the Participant’s Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), by the Participant’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death. If, at the time of death, the Participant was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Common Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If, after death, the Participant’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Common Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan? or

7

		
	(e)
	Ten Years from Grant. An Option shall expire no more than ten (10) years after the date of grant? provided, however, that if an ISO is granted to a 10% Stockholder, such ISO may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant.

		
	5.7
	EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Common Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

		
	5.8
	MODIFICATION OR ASSUMPTION OF OPTIONS. The Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Common Shares and at the same or a different exercise price; provided, that an

extension of the term of an ISO shall be subject to limitations applicable to ISOs and provided further that any such extension may not exceed the maximum term of the Option. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option (except that the Committee has the authority to amend any outstanding Option without the Participant’s consent if the Committee deems it necessary or advisable to comply with Code Section 409A). In addition, to the extent the Committee’s modification of the purchase price or the exercise price of any outstanding Award effects a repricing, shareholder approval shall be required before the repricing is effective. and notwithstanding anything  to the contrary contained herein, at no time will the Committee reprice any Option without  shareholder approval, including canceling or surrendering and re-granting or exchanging such Option  for cash or a new award with a lower (or no) exercise price. 
5.9    PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES.
		
	(a)
	General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Common Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time when such Common Shares are purchased, except as follows:

		
	(1)
	In the case of an ISO granted under the Plan, payment shall be made only pursuant to the express provisions of the applicable Award Agreement. The Award Agreement may specify that payment may be made in any form(s) described in this Section 5.9.

		
	(2)
	In the case of an NQO, the Committee may at any time accept payment in any form(s) described in this Section 5.9.

		
	(b)
	Surrender of Stock. To the extent that this Section 5.9(b) is applicable, all or any part of the Exercise Price may be paid by surrendering Common Shares that are already owned by the Participant. Such Common Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Common Shares are purchased under the Plan. The Participant shall not surrender Common Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action could cause the Company to recognize additional compensation expense with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes under GAAP accounting at the time of such proposed surrender.

		
	(c)
	Exercise/Sale. To the extent that this Section 5.9(c) is applicable, all or any part of the Exercise Price may be paid by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Common Shares being purchased under the Plan and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company.

		
	(d)
	Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that this Section 5.9(d) is applicable, all or any part of the Exercise Price may be paid in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws,

regulations and rules, including, without limitation, pursuant to a net exercise.
ARTICLE 6.
RESTRICTED SHARES.
		
	6.1
	TIME, AMOUNT AND FORM OF AWARDS. Awards under the Plan may be granted in the form of Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares may also be awarded in combination with NQOs, and such an Award may provide that the Restricted Shares will be forfeited in the event that the related NQOs are exercised.

8

		
	6.2
	PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient, as a condition to the grant of such Award, shall be required to pay the Company in cash, cash equivalents or any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the Company, including but not limited to future services, an amount equal to the par value of such

Restricted Shares. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Restricted Shares from the Company’s treasury, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.
		
	6.3
	VESTING CONDITIONS. Each Award of Restricted Shares shall be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Award Agreement. An Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement or other events. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares or thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

		
	6.4
	VOTING AND DIVIDEND RIGHTS. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, the holder of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders; provided, that to the extent that a Restricted Share carries with it a right to receive dividends, any dividends declared shall be accumulated and paid at the time (and to the extent) that the Restricted Shares vest, but in no event later than two-and-a-half months following the end of the calendar year in which the vesting occurs. Without limitation, an Award Agreement may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares (in which case such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid).

ARTICLE 7.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS.
		
	7.1
	TIME, AMOUNT AND FORM OF AWARDS. Awards under the Plan may be granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible individuals to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock Units shall be made; the number of Restricted Stock Units to be awarded; the period of restrictions, if any, applicable to Restricted Stock Units; the performance goals (if any) applicable to Restricted Stock Units; and all other conditions of the Restricted Stock Units. If the restrictions, performance goals and/or conditions established by the Committee are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the terms of the grant. The provisions of Restricted Stock Units need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

		
	7.2
	RESTRICTIONS AND CONDITIONS. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Committee at the time of grant or, subject to Code Section 409A, thereafter:

		
	(a)
	Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Award Agreement.

		
	(b)
	An Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement or other events. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

		
	(c)
	Participants holding Restricted Stock Units shall have no voting rights. A Restricted Stock Unit may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such

right would entitle the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Common Share while the Restricted Stock Unit is outstanding. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant dividend equivalents from the date of grant or only after a Restricted Stock Unit is vested. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that a Restricted 

9

Stock Unit carries with it rights to dividend equivalents, any dividend equivalents with respect to dividends declared shall be accumulated and paid at the time (and to the extent) that the Restricted Stock Units vest, but in no event later than two-and-a-half months following the end of the calendar year in which the vesting occurs.
		
	(d)
	The rights of Participants granted Restricted Stock Units upon termination of employment or service as an Outside Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason while the Restricted Stock Units remain outstanding shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

		
	7.3
	RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Except as may otherwise be provided in an Award Agreement with respect to dividend equivalents (in accordance with Section 7.2(c)), a Participant shall have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Common Shares subject to Restricted Stock Units until the Participant has satisfied all conditions of the Award Agreement and the requirements of Section 15.1 of the Plan, and the Common Shares have been issued to the Participant.

		
	7.4
	SETTLEMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made to Participants in the form of Common Shares, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, provides for the payment of the Restricted Stock Units in cash (or partly in cash and partly in Common Shares) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares that would otherwise be distributed to the Participant.

ARTICLE 8.
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
		
	8.1
	IN GENERAL. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”). Related Rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Option. The Committee shall determine the eligible individuals to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be made, the number of Common Shares to be awarded, the price per Common Share, and all other conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Related Right may be granted for more Common Shares than are subject to the Option to which it relates and any Stock Appreciation Right must be granted with an Exercise Price not less than the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of grant. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.1 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

		
	8.2
	RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. A Participant shall have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Common Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right until the Participant has given written notice of the exercise thereof, has satisfied the requirements of Section 15.1 of the Plan and the Common Shares have been issued to the Participant.

8.3     EXERCISABILITY. 
		
	(a)
	Stock Appreciation Rights that are Free Standing Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement.

		
	(b)
	Stock Appreciation Rights that are Related Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in

accordance with the provisions of Article 5 and this Article 8 of the Plan.

10

		
	(c)
	An Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement or other events. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may determine, at the time of granting Stock Appreciation Rights or thereafter, that all or part of such Stock Appreciation Rights shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

8.4    PAYMENT UPON EXERCISE.
		
	(a)
	Upon the exercise of a Free Standing Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Common Shares, determined using the Fair Market Value, equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the price per Common Share specified in the Free Standing Right multiplied by the number of Common Shares in respect of which the Free Standing Right is being exercised.

		
	(b)
	A Related Right may be exercised by a Participant by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Common Shares, determined using the Fair Market Value, equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the Exercise Price specified in the related Option multiplied by the number of Common Shares in respect of which the Related Right is being exercised. Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Related Rights have been so exercised.

		
	(c)
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine to settle the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right in cash (or in any combination of Common Shares and cash).

8.5    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEMENT OR SERVICES.
		
	(a)
	In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Free Standing Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement.

		
	(b)
	In the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Related Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the related Options.

8.6    TERM. 
		
	(a)
	The term of each Free Standing Right shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Free Standing Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

		
	(b)
	The term of each Related Right shall be the term of the Option to which it relates, but no Related Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.

		
	8.7
	MODIFICATION OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at no time will the Committee reprice any Stock Appreciation Right  without shareholder approval, including canceling or surrendering and re-granting or exchanging such  Stock Appreciation Right for cash or a new award with a lower (or no) exercise price. 

ARTICLE 9.
OTHER STOCK-BASED OR CASH-BASED AWARDS.
		
	9.1

Common Shares or other securities or property 

11

delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 9.1 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, Common Shares, other Awards, notes or other property, as the Committee shall determine, subject to any required corporate action.

An Award Agreement with respect to an Other Stock-Based Award or Other Cash-Based Award may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement or other events.

No such Award shall be payable unless the Committee certifies in writing, by resolution or otherwise, that the performance goals applicable to the Award were satisfied. In no case may the Committee increase the value of an Award granted under this Section 10.1 above the maximum value determined under the performance formula by the attainment of the applicable performance goals, but the Committee retains the discretion to reduce the value below such maximum.

Any performance measures may be used to measure the performance of the Company as a whole and/ or any one or more business segments, regional operations, products and/or Affiliates of the Company or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem appropriate, and any performance measures may be used in comparison to the performance of a group of peer companies, or a published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that do not qualify as performance based compensation, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. Effective with respect to Awards granted in 2018 or later, the Committee may make Awards subject to the achievement of performance goals other than the performance goals listed in Section 10.2 without regard to whether stockholders have approved such performance goals.

PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.
		
	12.1

ARTICLE 14.
LIMITAION ON RIGHTS.
14.1 RETENTION RIGHTS. Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an Employee, Outside Director or Consultant.

Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, a Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the time when a stock certificate for such Common Shares is issued or, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the time when he or she becomes entitled to receive such Common Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Exercise Price. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such time, except as expressly provided in the Plan.

15

		
	14.3

WITHHOLDING TAXES; PARACHUTE PAYMENTS.
		
	15.1 
	GENERAL. To the extent provided by the terms of an Award Agreement and subject to the discretion of the Committee, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold Common Shares from the Common Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Shares under the Award, provided, however, that no Common Shares are withheld with a value exceeding the amount of tax required to be withheld by law or such other greater amount up to the maximum statutory rate under applicable law, as applicable to such Participant, if such other greater amount would not result in adverse financial accounting treatment, as determined by the Committee (including in connection with the effectiveness of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-09); or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered Common Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any Common Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

		
	15.2
	 SECTION 280G. To the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided for under the Plan or any other agreement or arrangement between the Company or its Affiliates and a Participant (collectively, the “Payments”) (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and (ii) but for this paragraph would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Payments shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (determined in accordance with the reduction of payments and benefits paragraph set forth below); whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the participant’s receipt on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits under this Plan, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Any determination required under this provision will be made by accountants chosen by the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the participant and the Company for all purposes.

Except to the extent, if any, otherwise agreed in writing between a participant and the Company, reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, will be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order; provided, however, that any reduction or elimination of accelerated vesting of any equity award will first be accomplished by reducing or eliminating the vesting of such awards that are valued in full for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, then the reduction or elimination of vesting of other equity awards.
ARTICLE 16.
FUTURE OF THE PLAN.
16.1 TERM OF THE PLAN. The Plan was initially effective on March 14, 1997. The Board may, at any time and for any reason, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan (subject to the approval of the Company’s 

16

stockholders only to the extent required by applicable law, regulations or rules). The Committee may issue ISOs under the Plan until the tenth anniversary of the date of its most recent amendment or restatement. The Committee may issue any Award other than ISOs at any time prior to the date, if any, that the Board suspends or terminates the Plan. No Award may be granted pursuant to the Plan after such date, but Awards granted before such date may extend beyond that date.
		
	16.2
	 PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Unless the Company determines to submit the Plan to the Company’s stockholders at the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which the Plan was last approved by stockholders (or any earlier meeting designated by the Board), in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 162(m), and unless such stockholder approval is obtained, then no further Awards made under Article 10 will qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Code Section 162(m).

ARTICLE 17.
CODE SECTION 409A.
The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under the Plan comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Code Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided upon a “separation from service” to a Participant who is a “specified employee” shall be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service (or upon the Participant’s death, if earlier). In addition, for purposes of the Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, which constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Nothing contained in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect with respect to an Award. The Company does not guarantee that any Awards provided under the Plan will satisfy the provisions of Code Section 409A, and in no event will the Company be liable for any or all portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by a Participant on account of any non-compliance with Code Section 409A.

Any Termination shall be effective on the last day the Employee performs services for or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiary, and employment shall not be extended by any statutory or common law notice of termination period.

		
	2.
	Delivery Dates and Shareholder Rights.  The delivery dates for Shares issuable with respect to the Units are the respective dates on which the Shares are distributable to the Employee if the Restrictions lapse pursuant to Section 4 below (each a “Delivery Date”).  Prior to the Delivery Date(s):

		
	(a)
	the Employee shall not be treated as a shareholder as to any Shares issuable under the Agreement, and shall have only a contractual right to receive Shares, unsecured by any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

		
	(b)
	the Employee shall not be permitted to vote any Shares issuable under the Agreement; and

		
	(c)
	the Employee’s right to receive such Shares will be subject to the adjustment provisions relating to mergers, reorganizations, and similar events set forth in the Program.

Subject to the requirements of local law, if any dividend or other distribution is declared and paid on Shares (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) while any of the Units remain subject to this Award (meaning that any of the Shares into which Units would be converted are not otherwise issued and outstanding for purposes of the entitlement to the dividend or distribution), then a book account will be maintained for the Employee and credited with a phantom dividend that is equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the total number of Performance-Vested Shares that may be distributed under this Award if that number of Shares had been issued and outstanding and entitled to the dividend or distribution.  As any Units vest under this Award, the phantom dividends credited to the book account that are attributable to the Shares issuable with respect to such Units will vest and be distributed to the Employee (in the form in which the actual dividend or distribution was paid to shareholders or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances) concurrently with the issuance of the Shares resulting from the Unit vesting. Any such distribution is subject to the Company’s collection of withholding taxes applicable to the distribution.  
If fewer than all of the Performance-Vested Shares are earned as a result of the application of the vesting requirements or the forfeiture provisions of this Agreement or the Program, then the phantom dividends attributable to the unearned Shares will be cancelled and the Employee will cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any distribution or other amount with respect to such cancelled phantom dividends.
No phantom dividends will be paid or payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect to dividends or distributions for which the record date occurs on or after the applicable Delivery Date, the date the Employee has forfeited the Units or, in some cases due to applicable law, the date the Restrictions on the Units have lapsed.  For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any phantom dividend to which the Employee is entitled under 

4
Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (2020)

this Section 2 is the calendar year in which the corresponding Shares vest and are distributed to the Employee.  The Employee has no right to determine the year in which phantom dividends will be paid.
		
	3.
	Restrictions.  The Units (encompassing all of the Performance-Vested Shares) are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 6 and 7 below.  Shares are not earned and may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the “Restrictions”) until an event or combination of events described in subsections 4(a), (b), (c) or (d) or Section 5 occurs.

		
	4.
	Lapse of Restrictions.  The number of Shares that become issuable under this Award, as set forth in this Section 4 and subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 7 below, will be calculated based on the extent to which the Performance Vesting Requirements described in the attached Schedule are achieved. The Committee may equitably adjust the Performance Vesting Requirements described in the attached Schedule in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary, in response to changes in applicable laws or regulations, or to account for items of gain, loss or expense determined to be unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or related to the acquisition or disposal of a business or assets or related to a change in accounting principles.

		
	(a)
	Performance.  If the Employee remains employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the applicable vesting date specified below and has not experienced a Termination that triggers forfeiture, then:

		
	(i)
	the Restrictions on up to one-third of the total number of Units may lapse on «VESTING DATE 1», as determined in accordance with the Schedule;

		
	(ii)
	the Restrictions on up to an additional one-third of the total number of Units may lapse on «VESTING DATE 2», as determined in accordance with the Schedule; and

		
	(iii)
	the Restrictions on up to an additional one-third of the total number of Units may lapse on «VESTING DATE 3», as determined in accordance with the Schedule.

		
	(b)
	Retirement.  The Restrictions will continue to apply in the event of the Employee’s Termination due to Retirement, but may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a) above, in which case any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date will be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after the date of such Termination due to Retirement. 

		
	(c)
	Death.  The Restrictions will lapse on the date of the Employee’s Termination due to death, and any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date will be settled (for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Termination due to death.  The extent to which the Restrictions lapse, and the number of Shares to be delivered as a result, will be determined as follows: 

		
	(i)
	For any Performance Period that has begun but has not been completed as of the date of Termination due to death, the number of Shares to be delivered with respect to the applicable Award tranche will be determined based on the greater of (A) performance through the date of Termination measured against the Performance Vesting Requirements set forth in the Schedule using the most recent earnings information released before the date of Termination, and (B) the target vesting level for the applicable Award tranche.

5
Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (2020)

		
	(ii)
	For any Performance Period that has not yet begun as of the date of Termination due to death, the number of Shares to be delivered will be determined using the target vesting level for the applicable Award tranche(s).

		
	(d)
	Disability.  The Restrictions will lapse on the date of the Employee’s Termination due to Disability, and any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date will be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Termination due to Disability.  The extent to which the Restrictions lapse, and the number of Shares to be delivered as a result, will be determined as follows: 

		
	(i)
	For any Performance Period that has begun but has not been completed as of the date of Termination due to Disability, the number of Shares to be delivered with respect to the applicable Award tranche will be determined based on the greater of (A) performance through the date of Termination measured against the Performance Vesting Requirements set forth in the Schedule using the most recent earnings information released before the date of Termination, and (B) the target vesting level for the applicable Award tranche.

		
	(ii)
	For any Performance Period that has not yet begun as of the date of Termination due to Disability, the number of Shares to be delivered will be determined using the target vesting level for the applicable Award tranche(s).

		
	5.
	Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control, the entity surviving such Change in Control or the ultimate parent thereof (referred to herein as the “Surviving Entity”) may assume, convert or replace this Award with an award of at least equal value and terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement, in which case the new award will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement.  If the Surviving Entity does not assume, convert or replace this Award, the Restrictions will lapse on the date of the Change in Control, as described below.  

If the Surviving Entity does assume, convert or replace this Award, then in the event the Employee’s Termination (a) occurs within the time period beginning six months immediately before a Change in Control and ending two years immediately following such Change in Control, and (b) was initiated by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Cause or was initiated by the Employee for Good Reason, the Restrictions will lapse on the later of the date of the Change in Control and the date of the Employee’s Termination (referred to herein as the “Applicable Lapse Date”).
The extent to which the Restrictions lapse, and the number of Shares to be delivered as a result, will be determined as follows:
		
	(i)
	For any Performance Period that has begun but has not been completed as of the Applicable Lapse Date, the number of Shares to be delivered with respect to the applicable Award tranche will be determined based on the greatest of: (A) performance through the date of the Change in Control measured against the Performance Vesting Requirements set forth in the Schedule using the most recent earnings information released before the date of the Change in Control; (B) performance through the date of the Termination measured against the Performance Vesting Requirements set forth in the Schedule using the most recent earnings information released before the date of the Termination; and (C) the target vesting level for the applicable Award tranche.

		
	(ii)
	For any Performance Period that has not yet begun as of the Applicable Lapse Date, the number of Shares to be delivered will be determined using the target vesting level for the applicable Award tranche(s).

6
Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (2020)

The provisions of this Section 5 supersede Section 13(a)(iii), (iv) and (v) of the Program.
		
	6.
	Effect of Certain Bad Acts.  Any Units not previously settled will be cancelled and forfeited immediately if the Employee engages in activity that constitutes Cause, as determined in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

		
	7.
	Forfeiture of Units.  In the event of the Employee’s Termination for any reason other than those set forth in subsection 4(b), (c) or (d) or Section 5, any Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination will be forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee’s Representative.  In the event that the Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause and in a situation not covered by Section 5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all of the Units to continue to be subject to the Restrictions, provided such Restrictions may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a), in which case such Units will be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed on such dates.  In accepting this Award, the Employee acknowledges that in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to vest in the Units, if any, will cease and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment does not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law) and that the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Termination occurs.

		
	8.
	Withholding Taxes.  To the extent permitted under applicable law and by the Company, the Employee may satisfy any U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state, local or other applicable taxes arising from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by:

		
	(a)
	tendering a cash payment;

		
	(b)
	having the Company withhold Shares from the Shares to be delivered to satisfy the applicable withholding tax;

		
	(c)
	tendering Shares received in connection with the Award back to the Company; or

		
	(d)
	delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld.

The Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from the Shares deliverable to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement or (to the extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation Code Section 409A) from any other compensation or other amount owing to the Employee, such amount as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all such taxes, requirements and withholding obligations.  If the Company withholds for tax purposes from the Shares otherwise to be delivered to the Employee, the Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Award, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold using the method described in subsection 8(b) above unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable laws or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case the Committee shall determine which of the other methods described in this Section 8 or in the Program shall be used to satisfy the applicable withholding obligations.

7
Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (2020)

	10.

	the Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

	not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

		
	(iii)
	not part of the Employee’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should they be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

	11.
	Data Privacy.

		
	(a)
	Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee’s personal Data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the Program and the Employee’s participation in the Program.

As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

		
	(i)
	voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein; and

		
	(ii)
	authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

		
	(b)
	Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Program.  Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Employee’s country of residence.  Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought.  The Data will be accessible within the Company’s organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and for the Employee’s participation in the Program.

		
	(c)
	The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee’s participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Program.  These recipients may be located throughout the world.

		
	(d)
	The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to:

	obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

		
	(ii)
	verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

		
	(iii)
	request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

9
Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (2020)

		
	(iv)
	oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee’s participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.
		
	(e)
	Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee, the Employee agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreement or consent that may be required by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee) to the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee that the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee may deem necessary to obtain from the Employee for the purpose of administering his or her participation in the Program in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Employee’s country, either now or in the future. The Employee understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Program if the Employee fails to provide any such requested consent or agreement.

		
	12.
	Form of Payment.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee’s Units in the form of a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares: (a) is prohibited under local law; (b) would require the Employee, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Employee’s country; (c) would result in adverse tax consequences for the Employee or the Company; or (d) is administratively burdensome.  Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee’s Units in the form of Shares but require the Employee to sell such Shares immediately or within a specified period of time following the Employee’s Termination (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on the Employee’s behalf).

		
	13.
	Private Placement.  This Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee’s country.  The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and this Award is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

		
	14.
	Exchange Controls.  As a condition to this Award, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange rules and regulations.

	Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations.

	Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee’s participation in the Program and legally applicable to the Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company or its Subsidiaries (“Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries, if any.  The Employee further acknowledges 

10
Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (2020)

that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, lapse of Restrictions or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon payment of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  If the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.  If the Employee relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local laws, rules or regulations, to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Program and/or to accommodate the Employee’s relocation.
		
	(c)
	The Employee acknowledges that, depending on the Employee’s or the broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, the Employee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Units) or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times the Employee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in his or her country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Employee placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Employee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. The Employee understands that third parties may include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Employee acknowledges that it is the Employee’s responsibility to comply with any restrictions and the Employee is advised to speak to his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

		
	16.
	Code Section 409A.  Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or otherwise comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable.  The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent.  If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A and this Agreement fails to comply with that section’s requirements, the Company may, at the Company’s sole discretion, and without the Employee’s consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from Code Section 409A.  

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee’s Termination (including Retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Employee’s Termination (or upon the Employee’s death, if earlier).  For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (a) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount 

11
Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (2020)

to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 13(a) of the Program, upon the lapse of Restrictions pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of the Change in Control or the date of the Employee’s Termination (as applicable); (c) the term “as soon as administratively possible” means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination, Disability or Change in Control (as applicable); and (d) the date of the Employee’s Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.  
Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law.  None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisors shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

SCHEDULE
PERFORMANCE PERIODS AND PERFORMANCE VESTING REQUIREMENTS

Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Schedule has the meaning set forth in the Agreement or the Program.  This Schedule is subject to, and is to be interpreted in combination with, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Program.

Award Tranches and Performance Periods

The Award is subject to vesting in one-third increments over three years with each vesting tranche tied to the Company’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance for the applicable year (2020, 2021 or 2022), as described in the Agreement and the Performance Vesting Requirements section below.  The vesting tranches and corresponding Performance Periods are as follows:

	
			
	Vesting Tranche
	Units Subject to Vesting
	Performance Period

	Tranche 1
	1/3 of Units
	January 1-December 31, 2020

	Tranche 2
	1/3 of Units
	January 1-December 31, 2021

	Tranche 3
	1/3 of Units
	January 1-December 31, 2022

Performance Vesting Requirements

The vesting for each tranche will be determined based on the Company’s ROIC for the applicable Performance Period relative to the ROIC for that period of the companies (other than the Company) that were constituents of either the S&P Pharmaceutical, Biotech, and Life Science Index or the NYSE Arca Pharmaceutical Index on January 1, 2020 and on the last day of the applicable Performance Period (the “Index Companies”).

Within sixty-five (65) days after the end of each Performance Period, the Committee will determine the Company’s relative ROIC percentile rank for the applicable Performance Period.  For purposes of determining Performance Period ROIC results, ROIC means non-GAAP (or equivalent) ROIC measured using the annual results disclosed in each company’s earnings release issued most recently prior to the Performance Determination Date.  If an Index Company has not issued its annual earnings release prior to the Performance Determination Date, then its results shall be based on the most currently available four quarters of financial information.

The Company’s relative ROIC percentile rank for the applicable Performance Period determines the vesting percentage for the Units covered by the applicable tranche, such that:

		
	a.
	A ranking at or above the 85th percentile results in vesting at 200% of target level;

		
	b.
	A ranking from the 75th percentile up to the 85th percentile results in vesting at 175% of target level;

		
	c.
	A ranking from the 65th percentile up to the 75th percentile results in vesting at 150% of target level;

		
	d.
	A ranking from the 50th percentile up to the 65th percentile results in vesting at target level;

		
	e.
	A ranking from the 40th percentile up to the 50th percentile results in vesting at 50% of target level; and

		
	f.
	A ranking below the 40th percentile results in 0% vesting.

The vesting percentage derived from the ranking determination will be multiplied by the number of Units covered by the applicable tranche, yielding the number of Shares deliverable under the Agreement as a result of the application of the Performance Vesting Requirements for the applicable Performance Period.

ADDENDUM
In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Award is subject to the following terms and conditions.  If the Employee is employed in a country or jurisdiction identified in this Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country or jurisdiction will apply.  If the Employee relocates to one of the countries or jurisdictions identified in this Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country or jurisdiction will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable to comply with local laws, rules and/or regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Units and the Program (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee’s relocation).

All defined terms contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Program.

EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”) / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”) COUNTRIES, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM
Data Privacy. The following provision replaces Section 11 of the Agreement in its entirety:
Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the Employee is hereby notified of the following in relation to the Employee’s Personal Data (defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Personal Data in relation to the administration of the Program. The collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of the administration of the Program by the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee and the Employee’s participation in the Program, and the Employee’s denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data may affect his or her participation in the Program. As such, by participating in the Program, the Employee acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Personal Data as described herein.
The Employee understands that the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee may hold certain personally identifiable information about the Employee, specifically his or her name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security, passport or other identification number (resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company or its Subsidiaries, details of all entitlements to Shares (or cash) granted, awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Program (“Personal Data”). The Personal Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties. The Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee each act as controllers of the Personal Data and will process the Personal Data in this context for the exclusive legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Program and meeting related legal obligations associated with these actions. 
The processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures correlated to the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations. Personal Data will be accessible within the Company’s organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and other aspects of the employment relationship and for the Employee’s participation in the Program.
The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves and their affiliates as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee’s participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Program, including E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services Inc. and its affiliates (“E*TRADE”) or any successor or other third party that the Company, the Subsidiary that employs the Employee or E*TRADE (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Program from time to time. These recipients may be located in the EU, EEA, Switzerland, the United Kingdom or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. By participating in the Program, the Employee understand that these recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of 

1
Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (2019)

implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program. The Employee further understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data by contacting the Employee’s local Human Resources manager or AbbVie’s Human Resources Department. When transferring Personal Data to these potential recipients, the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee may provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. The Employee may request a copy of such safeguards from the Employee’s local Human Resources manager or AbbVie’s Human Resources Department.
To the extent provided by law, the Employee may, at any time, have the right to request: access to Personal Data, rectification of Personal Data, erasure of Personal Data, restriction of processing of Personal Data, and portability of Personal Data. The Employee may also have the right to object, on grounds related to a particular situation, to the processing of Personal Data, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee’s local Human Resources manager or AbbVie’s Human Resources Department. The Employee understands, however, that the only consequence of refusing to provide Personal Data is that the Company may not be able to grant the Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. 
When the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee no longer need to use Personal Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Personal Data from their systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Employee can no longer be identified from it.
ALGERIA

AUSTRALIA
1.    Breach of Law.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Program, the Employee will not be entitled to, and shall not claim any benefit (including without limitation a legal right) under the Program if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits.

2.    Australian Offer Document.  In addition to the Agreement and the Program, the Employee must review the Australian Offer Document for additional important information pertaining to the Award.

Any Shares issued pursuant to the Units under the Program shall be deposited into a brokerage account in the United States.  In no event will Shares be issued or delivered in Bahrain.  The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Units described herein has not and will not be registered in Bahrain and hence, the Shares described herein may not be admitted or used for offering, placement or public circulation in Bahrain.  Accordingly, the Employee may not make any public advertising or announcements regarding the Units or Shares in Bahrain, promote these Shares to legal entities or individuals in Bahrain, or sell Shares directly to other legal

CHINA
Foreign Exchange Control Laws.  The following provisions shall govern the Employee’s participation in the Program if the Employee is a national of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) resident in mainland China, or if determined to be necessary or appropriate by the Company in its sole discretion:
The Employee agrees to hold the Shares received upon settlement of the Units with the Company’s designated broker.  Upon a Termination, the Employee shall be required to sell all Shares issued pursuant to the Units within 180 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange or the Company) of the Termination date and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company.  For purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall establish procedures for effectuating the forced sale of the Shares (including procedures whereby the Company may issue sale instructions on behalf of the Employee), and the Employee hereby agrees to comply with such procedures and take any and all actions as the Company determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable for purposes of complying with local laws, rules and regulations in China.  

The Employee understands and agrees that the repatriation of dividends and sales proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that dividends issued on Shares and sales proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Program may be transferred to such account by the Company on the Employee’s behalf prior to being delivered to the Employee.  Dividends and/or sales proceeds may be paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion.  If dividends and/or sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars, the Employee understands that the Employee will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the dividends or proceeds may be deposited into this account.  If dividends and/or sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the dividends and/or proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions.  The Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time dividends are issued or Shares are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to the Employee.  The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.  The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the processes and requirements set forth herein shall continue to apply following the Employee’s Termination.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses the Employee may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Addendum or otherwise from the Company’s operation and enforcement of the Program, the Agreement and the Units in accordance with Chinese law including, without limitation, any applicable State Administration of Foreign Exchange rules, regulations and requirements.

DENMARK

The Employee acknowledges having received an “Employer Information Statement” in Danish, which is provided to comply with the Stock Option Act.

FINLAND
Withholding of Tax-Related Items. Notwithstanding anything in Section 8 of the Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee is a local national of Finland, any Tax-Related Items shall be withheld only in cash from the Employee’s

3.    IMPORTANT NOTICE.  WARNING: The contents of the Agreement, the Addendum, the Program, and all other materials pertaining to the Units and/or the Program have not been reviewed by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong.  The Employee is hereby advised to exercise caution in relation to the offer thereunder.  If the Employee has any doubts about any of the contents of the aforesaid materials, the Employee should obtain independent professional advice.

ISRAEL
Trustee Arrangement. The Employee agrees to hold the Shares received upon settlement of the Units with the Company’s designated broker. The Employee understands and agrees that upon the Employee’s sale of Shares, unless otherwise determined by the Company, (a) the repatriation of sales proceeds shall be effected through a trustee in Israel engaged by the Company (the “Trustee”), (b) the Trustee will withhold the requisite tax and other mandatory withholding (e.g., National Insurance payments) from the sales proceeds and (c) the Trustee will transfer the remaining sale proceeds (net of the requisite tax and other mandatory withholding) to the Employee. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the process and requirements set forth herein shall continue to apply following the Employee’s Termination.

MEXICO
1.    Commercial Relationship.  The Employee expressly acknowledges that the Employee’s participation in the Program and the Company’s grant of the Award does not constitute an employment relationship between the Employee and the Company.  The Employee has been granted the Award as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee, and the Company’s Subsidiary in Mexico is the Employee’s sole employer.  Based on the foregoing: (a) the Employee expressly acknowledges that the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program do not establish any rights between the Employee and the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; (b) the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Program or benefits granted thereunder by the Company, or a termination of the Program by the Company, shall not constitute

Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (2020)

a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Employee’s employment with the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee.

2.    Extraordinary Item of Compensation.  The Employee expressly recognizes and acknowledges that the Employee’s participation in the Program is a result of the discretionary and unilateral decision of the Company, as well as the Employee’s free and voluntary decision to participate in the Program in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Program, the Agreement and this Addendum.  As such, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, may amend and/or discontinue the Employee’s participation in the Program at any time and without any liability.  The value of the Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any.  The Units are not part of the Employee’s regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of the Company’s Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee.

MOROCCO
Settlement in Cash.  Notwithstanding Section 4 of the Agreement or any other provision in the Agreement to the contrary, pursuant to Section 12 of the Agreement, the Units will be settled in the form of a cash payment, except as otherwise determined by the Company.

NETHERLANDS
Waiver of Termination Rights.  The Employee waives any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of a Termination, insofar as those rights result or may result from: (a) the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements under the Program; or (b) the Employee ceasing to have rights, or ceasing to be entitled to any Awards under the Program as a result of such Termination.
NEW ZEALAND
Securities Law Notice.  The following securities notification applies for an offer of Units on or after December 1, 2016:
Warning
This is an offer of Units which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Program and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares.  Shares give you a stake in the ownership of AbbVie Inc.  You may receive a return if dividends are paid.
If AbbVie Inc. runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid.  You may lose some or all of your investment.
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest.  This information is designed to help investors make an informed decision.  The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme.  As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required.  You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.
Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.
Prior to the vesting and settlement of the Units, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting rights) with respect to the underlying Shares. 
No interest in any Units may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.
The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange.  This means that if you acquire Shares under the Program, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers.  You may get less than you invested.  The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.
You also are hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on sites at the web addresses listed below:

RUSSIA
1.    Sale or Transfer of Shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program or the Agreement, the Employee shall not be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Award in Russia.  The Employee may sell the Shares only through a broker established and operating outside Russia.  Any Shares issued upon vesting shall be delivered to the Employee through a brokerage account in the U.S.  The Employee may hold the Shares in his or her brokerage account in the U.S.; however, in no event will Shares issued to the Employee under the Program be delivered to the Employee in Russia.  The Employee is not permitted to sell Shares directly to other Russian legal entities or individuals. 
2.    Repatriation Requirements.  The Employee agrees to promptly repatriate proceeds resulting from the sale of Shares acquired under the Program to a foreign currency account at an authorized bank in Russia if legally required at the time Shares are sold and to comply with all applicable local foreign exchange rules and regulations.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from the Employee’s failure to comply with applicable laws.

Qualifying Person Exemption.  The grant of the Award under the Program is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (the “SFA”).  The Program has not been and will not be lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and is not regulated by any financial supervisory authority pursuant to any legislation in Singapore.  Accordingly, statutory liability under the SFA in relation to the content of prospectuses would not apply. The Employee should note that, as a result, the Award is subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Employee will not be able to make: (a) any subsequent sale of the Shares underlying the Award in Singapore; or (b) any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares subject to the Award in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division 1 Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA.

SOUTH AFRICA
1.    Exchange Control Obligations.  The Employee is solely responsible for complying with applicable exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa.  As the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, the Employee should consult the Employee’s legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of Shares under the Program to ensure compliance with current Exchange Control Regulations.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from the Employee’s failure to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations.
2.    Securities Law Notice.  In compliance with South African securities laws, the Employee acknowledges that the documents listed below are available for review at the web addresses listed below:

The Employee understands that a copy of the above documents will be sent to the Employee free of charge on written request to: Director, Equity Programs, AbbVie Inc., Dept. V58G, Bldg. AP34-2, 1 North Waukegan Road, North Chicago, IL 60064, USA.

SPAIN
1.    Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Program; No Vested Rights

By accepting the Award, the Employee consents to participation in the Program and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Program.

The Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Units under the Program to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis.  Consequently, the Employee understands that the Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Units and the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Award shall be null and void.

The Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Award, unless otherwise provided in Section 4 of the Agreement, any unvested Units as of the date the Employee ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of Termination.  The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination on the Units.

		
	1.
	Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program or the Agreement, “Cause” shall be as defined as set forth in the Agreement, regardless of whether the Termination is considered a fair termination (i.e., “despido procedente”) under Spanish legislation.

(“FinSA”), (ii) may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland to any
 
person other than an employee of the Company or (iii) has been or will be filed with, approved or

UNITED KINGDOM
1.    Payment of Taxes. Without limitation to Section 8 of the Agreement, the Employee hereby agrees that the Employee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or (if different) the Subsidiary that employs the Employee or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).  The Employee also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and (if different) the Subsidiary that employs the Employee against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold on the Employee’s behalf or have paid or will pay on the Employee’s behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that the Employee is a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Employee by within 90 days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (as applicable) for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee may recover from the Employee at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 8 of the Agreement.
2.    Exclusion of Claim.  The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee’s ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Units, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Units.  Upon the grant of the Award, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.
