The Committee shall determine (A) the Total Shareholder Return for the Company for the Performance Period, (B) the Total Shareholder Return for each Peer Group Member for the Performance Period, and (C) the Percentile Rank for the Company.

3.	Definitions.

For the purposes of this Award Notice:

(a)“Achievement Percentage” means the “Percentage of Award Earned” specified with respect to the below threshold, threshold, target, above target and maximum levels for each Performance Component, or a percentage determined using linear interpolation if actual performance falls between threshold and target, or between target and maximum levels (and rounded to the nearest whole percentage point and, if equally between two percentage points,

rounded up). In the event that actual performance does not meet the threshold level for any Performance Component, the “Achievement Percentage” with respect to such Performance Component shall be zero.

(b) “Adjusted EBITDA” means adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-Ks and Form 10-Qs as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the time of grant.

(c) “EBITDA CAGR” means compound annual growth rate at which Adjusted EBITDA for the final four fully completed fiscal quarters of the Performance Period (“LTM EBITDA”) would have grown relative to the Adjusted EBITDA for the 20__ fiscal year (“20_- EBITDA”) assuming a steady growth rate, as is calculated at the end of the Performance Period using the following formula:

((LTM EBITDA/20__ EBITDA)^{Time Period} ) – 1,

where “Time Period” means a fraction, with a numerator of 4 and a denominator equal to the number of full fiscal quarters completed during the Performance Period.

(d) “Peer Group Members” means the companies identified by the Committee at the time this Award Notice was approved.

(e) “Performance Components” means the performance criteria applicable to an Award, as set forth on the Award Notice.

(f) “Total Shareholder Return” of either the Company or a Peer Group Member means: (A) (i) the average closing price for a share of common stock of the Company or such Peer Group Member (as applicable) over the 30 calendar day period ending on (and including) the last date of the Performance Period (plus the value of any dividends declared on any share of such common stock in respect of a record date occurring during the Performance Period, as adjusted assuming such dividends were reinvested in shares of common stock of the issuer of the dividend on such record date) minus (ii) the average closing price for such share of common stock over the 30 calendar day period ending immediately before (and excluding) the first date of the Performance Period (the “Base Price”) prior to a relevant measurement date the average closing price will be determined based on such shorter number of days, divided by (B) the Base Price (in each case, with such adjustments as are necessary, in the judgment of the Committee to equitably calculate Total Shareholder Return in light of any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, and other extraordinary transactions or other changes in the capital structure of the Company or the Peer Group Member, as applicable). All closing prices shall be the principal stock exchange or quotation system closing prices on the date in question. In the event that the applicable common stock has not been trading for a full 30 day period prior to applicable measurement date, the average closing price shall be determined based on such shorter number of days that such common stock has been trading as of such measurement date. In the event any Peer Group Member (a) merges with or is acquired by another Peer Group Member, (b) is acquired by a company who is not a Peer Group Member, or (c) is in reorganization under

Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on the last date of the Performance Period, such Peer Group Member shall be deemed to have a Total Shareholder Return of -100%.

6.	Effect of a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control

during the Participant’s employment or while any Performance Shares remain outstanding and eligible to vest, and prior to the completion of the Performance Period, a portion of the Performance Shares granted hereunder shall become vested, with the actual number of Performance Shares determined based on actual performance through the most recently completed fiscal quarter, measured against performance levels using only the number of fiscal quarters completed prior to the date of such Change in Control, or, for any Performance Condition based on the price of a share of Common Stock, determined based on actual performance through the date of such Change in Control. To the extent the Committee cannot

determine whether a performance level has been achieved, the Committee shall vest the Performance Shares at target levels.


7.	Dividends; Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall be the record

owner of the Performance Shares until or unless such Performance Shares are forfeited pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and as a record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a common stockholder of the Company, including without limitation, voting rights with respect to the Performance Shares; provided, that (i) Participant holding unvested Performance Shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends payable in respect of such Shares unless and until such Performance Shares become vested Shares, and (ii) the Performance Shares shall be subject to the limitations on transfer and encumbrance set forth in Section 7.


8.	Restrictions on Transfer. Prior to the vesting of any Performance Share,

the Participant may not Assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber a Performance Share or the Participant’s right under the Performance Shares, except other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary (if permitted by the Committee) shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. “Assign” or “Assignment” shall mean (in either the noun or the verb form, including with respect to the verb form, all conjugations thereof within their correlative meanings) with respect to any security, the gift, sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition (whether for or without consideration, whether directly or indirectly, and whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) of such security or any interest therein.

9. Repayment of Proceeds; Clawback Policy. If a Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs or the Company discovers after a termination of employment that grounds existed for Cause at the time thereof, then Participant shall be required, in addition to any other remedy available (on a non-exclusive basis), to pay to the Company, within 10 business days of the Company’s request to Participant therefor, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment) Participant received upon the sale or other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, the Performance Shares. Any reference in this Agreement to grounds existing for a termination of employment with Cause shall be determined without regard to any notice period, cure period, or other procedural delay or event required prior to finding of or termination with, Cause. The Performance Shares and all proceeds of the Performance Shares shall be subject to the Company’s Clawback Policy, in accordance with its terms as in effect from time to time (including any lapse date or expiration date set forth therein), to the extent Participant is a director or “officer” as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


10.	No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this

Agreement nor the Participant’s receipt of the Performance Shares hereunder shall impose any obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the employment or engagement of the Participant. Further, the Company or any Affiliate (as applicable) may at any time terminate the

employment or engagement of such Participant, free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.


11.	Adjustments Upon Change in Capitalization. The terms of this

Agreement, including the Performance Shares, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan. This paragraph shall also apply with respect to any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution in respect of the Company’s Common Stock (whether in the form of cash or other property).


12.	Tax Withholding. Upon the vesting of any Performance Shares or at any

such time as required under applicable law, except to the extent the Participant shall have a written agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates under which the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is responsible for payment of taxes with respect to the Performance Shares, a number of Shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum applicable withholding taxes, liabilities, and obligations (“Withholding Taxes”) required to be withheld in respect of the Shares shall be automatically delivered to the Company (rounded up to the nearest whole Share), in satisfaction of such Withholding Taxes (including any applicable Withholding Taxes due prior to the settlement date). The number of Shares to be used for payment shall be calculated using the closing price per Share on the New York Stock Exchange (or other principal exchange on which the Shares then trade) on the trading day immediately prior to the date of delivery of the Shares.


13.	Award Subject to Plan. By entering into this Agreement, the Participant

agrees and acknowledges that the Participant has received and read a copy of the Plan. The Performance Shares granted hereunder are subject to the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.


14.	Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court

of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected by such holding and shall continue in full force in accordance with their terms.


15.	Governing Law; Venue; Language. This Agreement shall be governed

by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. Any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement (or any provision incorporated by reference), or any judgment entered by any court in respect of any thereof, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York or the State of Delaware, and each of the Participant, the Company, and any transferees who hold Performance Shares pursuant to a valid assignment, hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding, or judgment. Each of the Participant, the Company, and any transferees who hold Performance Shares pursuant to a valid assignment hereby irrevocably waives (a) any objections which it may now or hereafter have to

the laying of the venue of any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware or the State of New York, (b) any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in any inconvenient forum and (c) any right to a jury trial. If the Participant has received a copy of this Agreement (or the Plan or any other document related hereto or thereto) translated into a language other than English, such translated copy is qualified in its entirety by reference to the English version thereof, and in the event of any conflict the English version will govern.


16.	Successors in Interest. Any successor to the Company shall have the

benefits of the Company under, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement. Likewise, the Participant’s legal representative shall have the benefits of Participant under, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement. All obligations imposed upon the Participant and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators and successors.


17.	Data Privacy Consent. The Participant hereby explicitly and

unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Performance Share grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Participant’s employer or contracting party (the “Employer”) and the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, work location and phone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, hire date, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Personal Data”). The Participant understands that Personal Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, now or in the future, that these recipients may be located in the Participant’s country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Personal Data by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that the Participant may, at any time, view Personal Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to Personal Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Participant’s local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that the Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke the

Participant’s consent, the Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of the Participant’s refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Performance Shares or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that the Participant may contact the Participant’s local human resources representative.

18. Restrictive Covenants. Participant acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates and accordingly agrees to the provisions of Appendix A to this Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other restrictive covenants or similar covenants or agreements between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates.

19. Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item of Compensation. By accepting this Agreement and the grant of the Performance Shares contemplated hereunder, the Participant expressly acknowledges that (a) the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) the grant of Performance Shares is a one-time benefit that does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Performance Shares, or benefits in lieu of Performance Shares; (c) all determinations with respect to future grants of Performance Shares, if any, including the grant date, the number of Shares granted and the applicable vesting terms, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (e) the value of the Performance Shares is an extraordinary item of compensation that is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any, and nothing can or must automatically be inferred from such employment contract or its consequences; (f) grants of Performance Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose and are not to be used for calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, the Participant waives any claim on such basis, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Performance Shares shall not constitute an “acquired right” under the applicable law of any jurisdiction; and (g) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, the Participant understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will have no rights to compensation or damages related to Performance Share proceeds in consequence of the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract.

20. Award Administrator. The Company may from time to time designate a

third party (an “Award Administrator”) to assist the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and any Performance Shares granted thereunder, including by sending Award Notices on behalf of the Company to Participants, and by facilitating through electronic means acceptance of s by Participants.


21.	Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the provisions

of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee shall have the right to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any respect as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with Section 409A of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder, including without limitation by delaying the issuance of the Shares contemplated hereunder.


22.	Book Entry, Certificates; Legend.

(a) Whenever reference in this Agreement is made to the issuance or delivery of certificates representing one or more Shares, the Company may elect to issue or deliver such Shares in book entry form in lieu of certificates. Any certificates evidencing the Performance Shares may be issued by the Company and any such certificates shall be registered in the Participant’s name on the stock transfer books of the Company promptly after the date hereof, but shall remain in the physical custody of the Company or its designee at all times prior to the later of (i) the vesting of Performance Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the expiration of any transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement or otherwise applicable of the Performance Shares. As soon as practicable following such time, any certificates for Shares (if any) shall be delivered to the Participant or to the Participant’s legal guardian or representative, along with the stock powers relating thereto. No certificates shall be issued for fractional Shares. To the extent required by the Company, the Participant shall deliver to the Company a stock power, duly endorsed in blank, relating to the Performance Shares. However, the Company shall not be liable to the Participant for damages relating to any delays in issuing the certificates (if any) to the Participant, any loss by the Participant of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates themselves.

(b) To the extent applicable, all book entries (or certificates, if any) representing the Performance Shares shall be subject to the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Company may cause notations to be made next to the book entries (or a legend or legends put on certificates, if any) to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. Any such book entry notations (or legends on certificates, if any) shall include a description to the effect of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

23. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

24. Acceptance and Agreement by the Participant; Forfeiture upon Failure to Accept. By accepting the Performance Shares (including through electronic means), the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in the Plan, this Agreement, and the Company’s policies, as in effect from time to time, relating to the Plan. The Participant's rights to the Performance Shares granted herein will lapse ninety (90) days

from the Date of Grant, and the Performance Shares will be forfeited to the Company on such date in accordance with Section 23 and Section 24 if the Participant shall not have accepted this Agreement by such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant's failure to accept this Agreement shall not affect the Participant’s continuing obligations under any other agreement between the Company and the Participant.

25. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan, or the Participant's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

26. Appendices For Non-U.S. Participants. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, Participants residing and/or working outside the United States shall be subject to the Terms and Conditions for Non-U.S. Participants attached hereto as Appendix B and to any Country-Specific Terms and Conditions for the Participant's country attached hereto as Appendix C. If the Participant relocates from the United States to another country, the Terms and Conditions for Non-U.S. Participants and the applicable Country-Specific Terms and Conditions will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Moreover, if the Participant relocates between any of the countries included in the Country-Specific Terms and Conditions, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.

The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant's participation in the Plan, on the Performance Shares and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

28. Waiver. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other participant in the Plan.

2013 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan and the .

1.Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 12 of the :

(a)The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Employer the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Shares, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Performance Shares, the subsequent sale of any Shares which become vested pursuant to this agreement, the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Shares to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy their withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or

(ii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares which become vested pursuant to this Agreement, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or

(iii)withholding in Shares which become vested pursuant to this Agreement;

Appendix B - 2

provided, however, that if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i) and (ii) above.

(c)Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Performance Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

(d)The Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue the Shares or deliver the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or in Section 12 of the , if the Company is required by applicable law to use a particular definition of fair market value for purposes of calculating the taxable income for the Participant, the Company shall have the discretion to calculate the Shares to be withheld to cover any Withholding Taxes by using either the price used to calculate the taxable income under applicable law or by using the closing price per Share on the New York Stock Exchange (or other principal exchange on which the Shares then trade) on the trading day immediately prior to the date of delivery of the Shares.

2. Nature of Grant. This provision supplements Section 20 of the :

In accepting the grant of the Performance Shares, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a)the Performance Share grant and the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or services contract with the Company or any Affiliate;

(b)the Performance Shares and the Shares subject to the Performance Shares are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(c)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Performance Shares and the Shares that become vested pursuant to this agreement, and the income and value of same, are not

Appendix B - 3

granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate;

(d)for purposes of the Performance Shares, the Termination Date shall be the date the Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later to be found invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Participant’s right to vest in the Performance Shares under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Performance Share grant (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);

(e)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Performance Shares and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Performance Shares or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Company’s Common Stock; and

(f)neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Performance Shares or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the vesting of the Performance Shares or the subsequent sale of any Shares.

3. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant acknowledges that, depending on his or her country, the Participant may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect his or her ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., Performance Shares) under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the Participant’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy. The Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and is advised to consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

4. Termination of Employment. This provision supplements Section 5(b)(ii) of the Performance Restricted Share Agreement:

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(b)(ii), if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Participant’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to the Performance Shares when the Participant terminates employment as a result of the Participant’s Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or

Appendix B - 4

discriminatory, the provisions of this Section 5(b)(ii) regarding the treatment of the Performance Shares when the Participant terminates employment as a result of the Participant’s Retirement shall not be applicable to the Participant and the remaining provisions of this Section 5 shall govern.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to the Participant’s situation.

If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working (or if the Participant is considered as such for local law purposes) or if the Participant moves to another country after receiving the grant of the Performance Shares, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner.

UNITED KINGDOM

Terms and Conditions

Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 1 of the Terms and Conditions for Non-U.S. Participants:

If payment or withholding of the income tax due is not made within ninety (90) days of the end of the UK tax year in which the event giving rise to the liability occurs or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Employer, effective on the Due Date.
