Vesting.

The Earned Performance Units will vest on the Vesting Date, subject to satisfaction of the Performance Target required to be met in order for the Earned Performance Units to be earned under the Plan and subject to your continued Service through the Vesting Date and to the Sections below entitled “Determination of Number of Earned Performance Units” and “Termination” below.

No Payment for Shares.

No payment is required for Performance Units or Shares that you receive under this Award.

A-3

Nature of Award.

This Award represents the opportunity to receive the number of Shares equal to the Earned Performance Units earned as provided for below under “Number of Earned Performance Units,” subject to the section above entitled “Vesting” and to the sections below entitled “Settlement of Performance Units” and “Termination”.

Number of Earned Performance Units.

The number of Performance Units earned at the end of the Performance Period (the “Earned Performance Units”), if any, will be based on the percentage achievement (the “Achievement Percentage”) of the Performance Target, as follows:

The Achievement Percentage shall be calculated by dividing the Performance Achieved by the Performance Target, rounded down to the nearest whole percentage. For example, if the Performance Achieved is %, then the Achievement Percentage shall be %, or % divided by the Performance Target of %.

If the Achievement Percentage is between % and %, the Percentage of Earned Performance Units shall be equal to the Achievement Percentage. For example, if your Achievement Percentage is %, then the Percentage of Earned Performance Units is equal to %, and the number of Earned Performance Units at the end of the Performance Period shall be equal to the Target Number of Performance Units multiplied by %.

If the Achievement Percentage of the Performance Target is between % and %, then for every one percentage point below %, the Percentage of Earned Performance Units shall be reduced by two percentage points. Therefore, the Percentage of Earned Performance Units shall be calculated as the difference between % and the Achievement Percentage, multiplied by two, and then by subtracting this amount from %. For example, if the Achievement Percentage is %, then the Percentage of Earned Performance Units shall equal %, or ( % minus %) multiplied by 2, and then subtracting this amount from %.

All Earned Performance Units will vest on the Vesting Date and will settle in accordance with the section below entitled, “Settlement of Earned Performance Units”.

A-4

Settlement of Earned Performance Units.

The Company shall deliver to you that number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Earned Performance Units for the Performance Period, if any, as determined in accordance with the section entitled “Number of Earned Performance Units” above, on or as soon as practicable (but no later than 60 days) after the Vesting Date, subject to the section entitled “Termination” below. You will have no rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares until such Shares have been delivered to you.

Adjustment for Certain Events.

If and to the extent that it would not cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code or other applicable law, if any Corporate Event described in Section 5(d)(ii) of the Plan shall occur, the Committee shall make an adjustment as described in such Section 5(d)(ii) in such manner as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate and equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights provided under this Award.

Termination.

Upon termination of your Service (other than as set forth below) prior to the Vesting Date, you will forfeit all of your Performance Units (including your Earned Performance Units) without any consideration due to you. For the purposes of the Plan and this Award Agreement, your Service will not be deemed to be terminated in the event that you transfer employment from the Company to any Affiliate or from an Affiliate to the Company or another Affiliate, as the case may be.

If your Service terminates on or after February 26, 2019 Without Cause or by reason of your Retirement (as defined below), you shall be vested in the number of Earned Performance Units, as determined in accordance with the section entitled “Number of Earned Performance Units” above, as if the Earned Performance Units subject to this Award vested 30% on February 26, 2019, 40% on February 26, 2020 and 100% on February 26, 2021, and you shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares equal to the number of vested Earned Performance Units in accordance with the section entitled “Settlement of Performance Units”. For example, if the Achievement Percentage for the Performance Period is 100%, and your Service terminates on March 31, 2019, you would be entitled to receive 30% of the Target Number of Performance Units in settlement of your Earned Performance Units. For the avoidance of doubt, if your Service terminates prior to February 26, 2019 Without Cause or by reason of your Retirement, you will forfeit all of your Performance Units (including your Earned Performance Units).

If your Service terminates prior to the Vesting Date by reason of Disability (as defined below), you shall be vested in the number of Earned Performance Units, as determined in accordance with the section entitled “Number of Earned Performance Units” above, as if the Earned Performance Units subject to this Award vested 20% on each of February 26, 2017, February 26, 2018, February 26, 2019, February 26, 2020 and

A-5

February 26, 2021, respectively, and you shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares equal to the number of vested Earned Performance Units in accordance with the section entitled “Settlement of Earned Performance Units”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your Service terminates on or before the last day of the Performance Period by reason of your Disability, then for purposes of determining the number of Shares to be delivered to you by reason of your Disability, your Earned Performance Units shall be equal to the Target Number of Performance Units, multiplied by the applicable vesting percentage.

If your Service terminates prior to the Vesting Date by reason of your death, your Beneficiary shall be vested in the number of Earned Performance Units, as determined in accordance with the section entitled “Number of Earned Performance Units” above, as if the Earned Performance Units subject to this Award vested 20% on February 26, 2017, 40% on February 26, 2018 and 100% on February 26, 2019. In such event, your Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares equal to the number of Earned Performance Units vested on the date of your death in accordance with the section entitled “Settlement of Performance Units”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your Service terminates on or before the last day of the Performance Period by reason of your death, then for purposes of determining the number of Shares to be delivered to your Beneficiary by reason of your death, your Earned Performance Units shall be equal to the Target Number of Performance Units, multiplied by the applicable vesting percentage.

The date of termination of your Service will not be extended by any period of notice of termination of employment, payment in lieu of notice or severance mandated under local law, whether statutory, contractual or at common law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law) regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of laws in the jurisdiction where you are rendering Service or the terms of your Employment Agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine the date of termination of your Service for purposes of this Award.

In the event that there is a conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement regarding the effect of a termination of your Service on this Award and the terms of any Employment Agreement, the terms of your Employment Agreement will govern.

Subject to any terms and conditions that the Committee may impose in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in the event that a Change in Control occurs and, within twelve (12) months following the date of such Change in Control, your Service is terminated by the Company Without Cause (as defined herein), your Earned Performance Units shall vest in full upon such termination. In such event, the number of your Earned Performance Units, and thus the number of Shares that you would be entitled to receive, shall be calculated in accordance with the sections entitled “Number of Earned Performance Units” and “Settlement of Earned Performance Units”; provided, however, that if the Change in Control occurs prior to the expiration of the Performance Period, then for purposes of determining the number of Shares to be delivered to you by reason of your termination, your Earned Performance Units shall be equal to your Target Number of Performance Units. In the event that there is a conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement regarding the effect of a Change in Control on this Award and the terms of any Employment Agreement, the terms of this Award Agreement will govern.

A-6

Taxes.

Regardless of any action the Company or your Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security or insurance, government-sponsored pension plan, unemployment insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and 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 Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of Performance Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalents; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

Prior to settlement of this Award, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of Shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may in its sole and absolute discretion (1) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that you acquire to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), and/or (2) withhold the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the Tax-Related Items.

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 I may 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, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSU, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, you will pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.

A-7

Dividend Equivalents.

During the Performance Period, you shall be credited with additional Performance Units (based on the Target Number of Performance Units) with respect to the number of Shares (rounded to six decimal places) having a Fair Market Value as of the applicable dividend payment date equal to the value of any dividends or other distributions that would have been distributed to you if each of the Shares to be delivered to you upon settlement of the Performance Units instead was an issued and outstanding Share owned by you (“Dividend Equivalents”). After the expiration of the Performance Period, the Target Number of Performance Units and the relevant accrued number of Dividend Equivalents shall be collectively adjusted based on the Achievement Percentage and rounded to six decimal places. Thereafter, for the remainder of the term of this Award Agreement, you shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents based on the number of Earned Performance Units. The additional Performance Units credited to you as Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same terms and conditions under this Award Agreement as the Performance Units to which they relate, and shall vest and be earned and settled (rounded down to the nearest whole number) in the same manner and at the same times as Performance Units to which they relate. Each Dividend Equivalent shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

No Guarantee of Continued Service.

You acknowledge and agree that the vesting of this Award on the Vesting Date is earned only by performing continuing Service (not through the act of being hired or being granted this Award). You further acknowledge and agree that this Award Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Vesting Date shall not be construed as giving you the right to be retained in the employ of, or to continue to provide Service to, the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or the applicable Affiliate may at any time dismiss you, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in any other agreement binding you, the Company or the applicable Affiliate. The receipt of this Award is not intended to confer any rights on you except as set forth in this Award Agreement.

Termination for Cause; Restrictive Covenants.

In consideration for the grant of this Award and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged by you, you agree as follows:

Upon (i) a termination of your Service for Cause, (ii) a retroactive termination of your Service for Cause as permitted herein or under your Employment Agreement, or (iii) a violation of any post-termination restrictive covenant (including, without limitation, non-disclosure, non-competition and/or non-solicitation) contained in your Employment Agreement, any separation or termination or similar agreement you may enter into with the Company or one of its Affiliates in connection with termination of your Service, any Award you hold shall be immediately forfeited and the Company may require that you repay (with interest or appreciation (if any), as applicable, determined up to the date payment is made), and you shall promptly repay, to the Company, the Fair Market Value (in cash or in Shares) of any Shares received upon the settlement of Performance Units during the period beginning on the date that is one year before the date of your termination and ending on the first anniversary of the date of your termination. The Fair Market Value of any such Shares shall be determined as of the date on which the Performance Units were settled.

A-8

Company’s Right of Offset.

If you become entitled to a distribution of benefits under this Award, and if at such time you have any outstanding debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company or its Affiliates, upon a determination by the Committee, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and it would not cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code, may offset such amount so owing against the amount of benefits otherwise distributable. Such determination shall be made by the Committee.

Acknowledgment of Nature of Award.

In accepting this Award, you acknowledge that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan;

(b) the Award is voluntary, occasional and discretionary and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Performance Units, or benefits in lieu of Performance Units even if Performance Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past;

(d) your participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(e) this Award and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(f) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(g) if you receive Shares, the value of such Shares acquired upon settlement may increase or decrease in value; and

(h) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of this Award, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from any diminution in value of the Performance Units or Shares received upon settlement of Performance Units resulting from termination of your Service by the Employer and you irrevocably release the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise.

A-9

Securities Laws.

By accepting this Award, you acknowledge that Canadian or other applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, U.S. securities laws, and/or the Company’s policies regarding trading in its securities may limit or restrict your right to buy or sell Shares, including, without limitation, sales of Shares acquired in connection with this Award. You agree to comply with all Canadian and any other applicable securities law requirements, including, without limitation, any U.S. securities law requirements, and Company policies, as such laws and policies are amended from time to time.

Data Privacy Notice and Consent.

You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Award Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Affiliates or such third party administrator as designated by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that the Company, the Employer and/or such third party administrator as designated by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or social security number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of this Award or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the Shares received upon settlement of Performance Units may be deposited.

You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, or this Award Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Award Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without your consent, to comply with Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A of the Code prior to the actual payment of Shares pursuant to this Award. If you are subject to U.S. taxes, all Shares to which you are entitled will be issued to you on the applicable settlement date of the Performance Units, as described above in the section entitled “Settlement”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to you that this Award is exempt from, or satisfies, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless you or any Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that you or any Beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof or any other action taken with respect thereto, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A.

Nature of Grant.

This provision supplements the Acknowledgement of Nature of Award section of the Award Agreement including this Exhibit B:

In accepting this Award, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan.

You understand and agree that, as a condition of this Award, except as provided for in the Award Agreement, the termination of your Service for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the loss of this Award that has not vested on the date of termination.

You understand and agree that, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, the vesting and settlement of this Award is expressly conditioned on your continuous Service such that if your employment or rendering of Service terminates for any reason whatsoever, this Award will cease vesting immediately effective as of the date of such termination for any reason including, but not limited to: disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.

Furthermore, you understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant this Award under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or any Affiliate. 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 its Affiliates on an ongoing basis other than to the extent set forth in the Award Agreement. Consequently, you understand that

A-19

this Award is granted on the assumption and condition that this Award and the Shares issued upon settlement shall not become a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company, the Employer or any other Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that the grant of this Award would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant to you of this Award shall be null and void.

Securities Law Information.

This Award and the Shares described in the Award Agreement do not qualify under Spanish regulations as securities. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Award Agreement has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Xxxxxxx de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

Exchange Control Information.

To participate in the Plan, you must comply with exchange control regulations in Spain. You are required to declare electronically to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the Shares held in such accounts, depending on the value of the transactions during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year.

The acquisition of Shares and the sale of Shares must also be declared for statistical purposes to the Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”) of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce. Because you will not purchase or sell the Shares through the use of a Spanish financial institution, you must make the declaration by filing a D-6 form with the DGCI. Generally, the D-6 form must be filed each January while the Shares are owned or to report the sale of Shares.

When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of Shares (i.e., dividends or sale proceeds) exceeding €50,000, you must inform the financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made. You will need to provide the institution with the following information: (i) your name, address, and fiscal identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of the Company; (iii) the amount of the payment; (iv) the currency used; (v) the country of origin; (vi) the reasons for the payment; and (vii) any further information that may be required.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.

To the extent that you hold rights or assets (e.g., Shares, cash, etc.) in a bank or brokerage account outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 per type of right or asset as of December 31 each year, you are required to report information on such rights and assets on your tax return for such year. Shares acquired under the Plan constitute securities for purposes of this requirement, but this Award (whether vested or unvested) is not considered an asset or right for purposes of this requirement.

A-20

If applicable, you must report the rights or assets on Form 720 by no later than March 31 following the end of the relevant year. After such rights or assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than €20,000. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement may result in penalties to you. Accordingly, you are advised to consult your personal tax and legal advisors to ensure that you are properly complying with your reporting obligations.

In addition, you are required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the securities held in such accounts if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceeds €1,000,000.

You shall pay to the Company or the Employer the amount of income tax that the Company or the Employer may be required to account to HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) with respect to the event giving rise to the income tax (the “Taxable Event”) that cannot be satisfied by the means described in the Award Agreement. If payment or withholding of the income tax is not made within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the Taxable Event occurs or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Xxxxxxxx) Xxx 0000 (the “Due Date”), then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. You agree that the loan will bear interest at the HMRC official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by you, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means set forth in Award Agreement.

In the event that you are an executive officer or director, as defined above, and income tax due is not collected from or paid by you by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable. You 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 Employer, as applicable, for the value of any employee National Insurance contributions due on this additional benefit which the Company and/or the Employer may recover by any of the means set forth in the Award Agreement.

You acknowledge that you are permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the sale of the Shares acquired under the Plan takes place through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (i.e., the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange).

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.

You must report annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) the foreign property you hold (including any Shares acquired under the Plan, if held outside Canada), if the total value of such foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. The unvested portion of this Award also must be reported (generally at nil cost) on Form 1135 if the C$100,000 threshold is exceeded due to other foreign property you hold. If Shares are acquired, the cost generally is their adjusted cost base (the “ACB”). The ACB would normally equal the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if you own other Shares, the ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. The form must be filed by April 30 of the following year. You should consult with a personal advisor to ensure you comply with the applicable reporting obligation.
