AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
GLOBAL SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
1.I hereby elect to participate in the Xxxxxxx Navigation Limited Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) and subscribe to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with this Global Subscription Agreement, including any special terms and conditions for my country in the appendix hereto (the “Appendix,” together with the Global Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreement”) and the Stock Purchase Plan. All capitalized terms not defined in this Subscription Agreement shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Stock Purchase Plan.
2. I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount of _____% (not to exceed 10%) of my Compensation on each payday during the Offering Period in accordance with the Stock Purchase Plan.
If I am enrolling in the Stock Purchase Plan through the Company’s online enrollment procedures with the Company’s designated broker/third party administrator for the Stock Purchase Plan, then by such enrollment and by making my online enrollment elections, I authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount of the elected percentage (not to exceed 10%) of my Compensation on each payday during the Offering Period in accordance with the Stock Purchase Plan.
3. I understand that said payroll deductions shall be accumulated for the purchase of shares of Common Stock at the applicable Option Price determined in accordance with the Stock Purchase Plan. I understand that any accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise my option on the Exercise Date unless I become ineligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan or otherwise withdraw from the Stock Purchase Plan in accordance with the withdrawal procedures in effect at such time.
4. I understand that this Subscription Agreement will automatically re-enroll me in all subsequent Offering Periods unless I withdraw from the Stock Purchase Plan or I become ineligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan. I further understand that my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan in any subsequent Offering Period will be governed by the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Plan and the subscription agreement (including any appendix thereto) in effect at that time, subject to my right to withdraw from the Stock Purchase Plan in accordance with the withdrawal procedures in effect at that time.
5. I have received a copy of the complete “Xxxxxxx Navigation Limited Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan.” I understand that my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan is in all respects subject to the terms of the Stock Purchase Plan.
6. I understand and agree that the effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent upon my eligibility to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan. I understand that, if I am participating in the Code Section 423(b) Plan Component, I may not transfer the shares of Common Stock out of such
account and to my individual brokerage account for two (2) years following the Exercise Date of any Offering Period. I agree to notify the Company in writing within 30 days of any disposition of the shares of Common Stock whether such shares are sold while they are held in an account with the Company’s designated broker or in my individual brokerage account.
7. Shares of Common Stock purchased for me under the Stock Purchase Plan will be deposited into an account established in my name with the Company’s designated broker for the Stock Purchase Plan.
8. I understand that if I am a U.S. taxpayer participating in the Code Section 423(b) Plan Component and I dispose of any shares of Common Stock received by me pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan within 2 years after the first day of the Offering Period during which I purchased such shares (“Enrollment Date”) or within 1 year after the Exercise Date, I will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time such shares were delivered to me over the Option Price which I paid for the shares. However, if I dispose of such shares at any time after the expiration of the holding period set forth above, I understand that I will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having received income only at the time of such disposition, and that such income will be taxed as ordinary income only to the extent of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such disposition over the Option Price which I paid for the shares under the option, or (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the shares over the Option Price, measured as if the option had been exercised on the Enrollment Date. The remainder of the gain, if any, recognized on such disposition will be taxed as capital gain.
I understand that if I am a U.S. taxpayer participating in the Non-423(b) Plan Component, the tax treatment under Code Section 423(b) will not apply and I will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary income on the Exercise Date in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the Exercise Date over the Option Price which I paid for the shares.
9. I acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, my employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items relating to my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan and legally applicable to me (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains my responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. I acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the option, including the grant of the option, the exercise of the option, the purchase of shares, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the option and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the option to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if I am subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, I acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, I agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this
-2-
regard, I authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any withholding obligations with regard to Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from wages or other cash Compensation payable to me by the Company and/or the Employer; or (b) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock that I acquire, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on my behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (c) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued to me.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case I will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash as soon as practicable and I will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, I am deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock purchased, notwithstanding that some shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, I agree 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 my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise or purchase shares on my behalf or may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
10. By enrolling and participating in the Stock Purchase Plan, I acknowledge, understand and agree that: (a) the Stock Purchase Plan 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, to the extent permitted by the Stock Purchase Plan; (b) the grant of the option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants, or benefits in lieu of grants, even if options have been granted in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future grants of options, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary to terminate my employment relationship at any time with or without cause; (e) I am voluntarily participating in the Stock Purchase Plan; (f) the option and the underlying shares of Common Stock are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (g) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the option and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income and value of same, are not offered to me in my capacity as a director of a Subsidiary of the Company; (h) the option and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, unfair dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; (i) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty; (j) the value of shares of Common Stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan may increase or decrease, even below the Option Price; (k) no claim or entitlement to compensation or
-3-
damages shall arise from termination of the option resulting from termination of my employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where I am employed or the terms of my employment agreement, if any) and, in consideration of the grant of the option to which I am not otherwise entitled, I irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary, waive my ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company, the Employer and any Subsidiary from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, I shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and (l) in the event of termination of my employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where I am employed or the terms of my employment agreement, if any), my right to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan and purchase shares of Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that I am no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active service would not include any contractual notice or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where I am employed or the terms of my employment agreement, if any); and the Board shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when I am no longer actively providing services for purposes of my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan; (m) unless otherwise provided in the Stock Purchase Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the option and the benefits evidenced by this Subscription Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Stock Purchase Plan or any such benefits granted thereunder, transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; and (n) neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the United States Dollar and my local currency (if different) that may affect the value of the shares of Common Stock or any amounts due to me pursuant to the purchase of the shares or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan.
11. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan, or my acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. I am hereby advised to consult with my own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan before taking any action related to the Stock Purchase Plan.
12. I acknowledge that, depending on my country of residence, I may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect my ability to acquire or sell shares of Common Stock or rights to shares of Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan during such times as I am considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in my 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. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and that I am advised to speak to my personal legal advisor on this matter.
13. I hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of my personal data as described in this Subscription Agreement and any
-4-
other Stock Purchase Plan materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Employer, and the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purposes of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan. I understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about me, including, but not limited to, my name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised or outstanding in my favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Stock Purchase Plan.
I understand that Data will be transferred to the Company’s designated broker/third party administrator for the Stock Purchase Plan, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Stock Purchase Plan. I understand that the recipients of Data may be located in my country or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than my country. I understand that, if I reside outside the United States, I may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting my local human resources representative. I authorize the Company, any Subsidiary, the Company’s designated broker/third party administrator for the Stock Purchase Plan and any other possible recipients of Data to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan, including any requisite transfer of Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom I may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock acquired upon purchase of shares under the Stock Purchase Plan. I understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan. I understand that, if I reside outside the United States, I may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing my local human resources representative. Further, I understand that I am providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If I do not consent, or if I later seek to revoke my consent, my employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing my consent is that the Company would not be able to grant me options under the Stock Purchase Plan or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, I understand that refusing or withdrawing my consent may affect my ability to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan. For more information on the consequences of my refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, I understand that I may contact my local human resources representative.
14. The grant of the option and the provisions of this Subscription Agreement are governed by, and subject to, the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict of laws provisions. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or this Subscription Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California, USA, agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Santa Xxxxx County, California, USA, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

15. If I have received this Subscription Agreement or any other document related to the Stock Purchase Plan translated into a language other than English and if meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
16. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Stock Purchase Plan by electronic means. I hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
17. The provisions of this Subscription Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
18. The grant of the option shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for my country set forth in the Appendix. Moreover, if I relocate to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country apply to me, unless the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is not necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Subscription Agreement.
19. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan, on the grant of the option and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Stock Purchase Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require me to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
20. I acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Subscription Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by me or any other participant in the Stock Purchase Plan.
20. By enrolling in the Stock Purchase Plan, either by signing below or by using the Company’s online enrollment procedures with the Company’s designated broker/third party administrator for the Stock Purchase Plan, I agree to be bound by, and understand that my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan is in all respects subject to, the terms of the Stock Purchase Plan and this Subscription Agreement.

APPENDIX OF
SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO THE
XXXXXXX NAVIGATION LIMITED
AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
GLOBAL SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Appendix, which is part of the Subscription Agreement, includes additional or different terms and conditions that govern my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan and that will apply to me if I am in one of the countries listed below. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms set forth in this Appendix shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Stock Purchase Plan or the Subscription Agreement, as applicable.
If I am a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which I am currently working, am considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfer employment and/or residency between countries after the Enrollment Date, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply to me under these circumstances.
NOTIFICATIONS
This Appendix also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which I should be aware with respect to my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of April 2015. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that I not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan because such information may be outdated when the shares of Common Stock are purchased and/or when I sell any shares purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to my particular situation. As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure me of any particular result. The Company therefore advises me to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in my country may apply to my particular situation.
Finally, if I am a citizen or resident of a country other than that in which I currently am working, am considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfer employment and/or residency to a different country after the Enrollment Date, the information contained herein may not apply in the same manner to me.

ALL EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA COUNTRIES
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Securities Law Restriction. If I work in a country located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan may be further limited as a result of applicable securities laws. Specifically, contributions from employees working in the EEA will be limited to less than an aggregate amount of €2.5 million on an annual basis. It is also possible that certain other equity awards in the EEA will count against this €2.5 million threshold. I understand that, if employees in the EEA elect to contribute more than this amount during any year, participation rates will be prorated to ensure that this threshold is not exceeded. If my participation will be prorated, I will receive a notice from the Company explaining the proration.
AUSTRALIA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Australian Addendum. I understand and agree that my right to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan and any options granted under the Stock Purchase Plan are subject to an Australian Addendum to the Stock Purchase Plan. My right to purchase shares of Common Stock is subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Australian Addendum and the Offer Document, in addition to the Stock Purchase Plan and the Subscription Agreement.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. If I acquire shares under the Stock Purchase Plan and offer the shares for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law, and I should obtain legal advice regarding any applicable disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer.

NOTIFICATIONS
Consumer Protection Information. I understand that I may be entitled to revoke acceptance of the Subscription Agreement on the basis of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) under the
-8-
conditions listed below, if the Act is considered to be applicable to the Subscription Agreement and the Stock Purchase Plan:
(i) | The revocation must be made within one (1) week after acceptance of the Subscription Agreement. |
(ii) | The revocation must be in written form to be valid. It is sufficient if I return the Subscription Agreement to the Company or the Company’s representative with language which can be understood as a refusal to conclude or honor the Subscription Agreement, provided the revocation is sent within the period discussed above. |
Exchange Control Information. If I hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Stock Purchase Plan outside of Austria, I understand that I may be required to submit a report to the Austrian National Bank, depending on the value of the shares of Common Stock. Further, I understand that upon sale of the Shares acquired under the Stock Purchase Plan, I may be required to fulfill certain exchange control obligations if the cash proceeds are held outside of Austria and depending on the transaction volume of all accounts abroad. I acknowledge that I am solely responsible for complying with applicable Austrian exchange control laws and that I have been advised to consult my personal advisor before enrolling in the Stock Purchase Plan, acquiring or selling shares of Common Stock, or opening any foreign accounts in connection with the Stock Purchase Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations.
BELGIUM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Authorization to Remit Payroll Deductions. For Belgian law purposes, “payroll deductions” means a specific instruction by me to the Employer to pay out part of my Compensation (as indicated in the Subscription Agreement) in order to fund the Option Price for the shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Plan.
NOTIFICATIONS
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. I am required to report any taxable income attributable to my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan on my annual tax return.

CANADA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Nature of Grant. The following provision replaces Paragraph 10(k) of the Subscription Agreement:
-9-
In the event of termination of my employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of local labor laws or the terms of my employment agreement, if any), my right to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the earliest of (i) the date that my employment with the Company or a Designated Subsidiary is terminated; (ii) the date that I receive written notice of termination of employment from the Employer, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under any employment law in the country where I reside (including, but not limited to, statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law), even if such law is otherwise applicable to my employment benefits from the Employer; and (iii) the date that I am no longer actively employed by or actively providing services to the Company or a Designated Subsidiary; the Board shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when I am no longer actively providing services for purposes of my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan.
The following provisions apply if I am a resident of Quebec:
Consent to Receive Information in English. The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the present agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.
Les parties reconnaissent avoir expressement souhaité que la convention (“Subscription Agreement”), ainsi que tous les documents, avis et procédures judiciaries, éxecutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou lié, directement ou indirectement à la présente convention, soient rédigés en langue anglaise.
Data Privacy. The following provision supplements Paragraph 13 of the Subscription Agreement:
I hereby authorize the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or non-professional, involved in the administration of the Stock Purchase Plan. I further authorize the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary and the Company’s designated broker/third party administrator for the Stock Purchase Plan (or such other stock plan service provider that may be selected by the Company to assist with the implementation, administration and management of the Stock Purchase Plan) to disclose and discuss such information with their advisors. I also authorize the Company, the Employer and/or any Subsidiary to record such information and to keep such information in my employment file.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. I am permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired through the Stock Purchase Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Stock Purchase Plan, if any (or any other broker acceptable to the Company), provided the resale of shares of Common Stock takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed. The shares of Common Stock are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Foreign Assets/Account Reporting Information. Foreign property, including shares of Common Stock and rights to receive shares of Common Stock (e.g., options under the Plan), must be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds CAD100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, such options must be reported -
-10-
generally at a nil cost - if the CAD100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of purchase, but if other shares are also owned, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares.
CHILE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Authorization for Stock Purchase Plan Participation. I hereby authorize the Employer or any Subsidiary to remit my accumulated payroll deductions under the Stock Purchase Plan, on my behalf, to the United States of America, to purchase shares of Common Stock.
I understand that I must execute the attached power of attorney and any other agreements or consents that may be required to enable the Employer, a Subsidiary, or any third party designated by the Employer or the Company, to remit my accumulated payroll deductions from Chile to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan. I understand further that I must return the executed power of attorney to my local human resources representative; if I fail to do so, or if I fail to execute any other form of agreement or consent that is required for the remittance of my payroll deductions, I may not be able to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan.
NOTIFICATIONS
Exchange Control and Tax Reporting Information. I understand that it is my responsibility to comply with the exchange control and tax reporting requirements in Chile in connection with the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan and that I should consult with my personal legal and tax advisors in this regard.
I am not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of shares of Common Stock to Chile. However, if I decide to repatriate such funds to Chile, I must do so through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office) if the funds exceed US$10,000. If I do not repatriate the funds and use such funds for the payment of other obligations contemplated under a different Chapter of the Foreign Exchange Regulations, I must sign Annex 1 of the Manual of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations and file it directly with the Central Bank within the first 10 days of the month immediately following the transaction.
If my aggregate investments held outside of Chile meet or exceed US$5,000,000 (including the investments made under the Stock Purchase Plan), I must report the status of such investments quarterly to the Central Bank, using Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations.
If I hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Stock Purchase Plan outside of Chile, I must report the details of such investment and any taxes paid abroad (if I wish to receive credit against my Chilean income taxes for taxes paid abroad). The forms to be used are Tax Form 1853 “Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Credits for Taxes Paid Abroad” and Tax Form 1851 “Annual Sworn Statement
-11-
Regarding Investments Held Abroad.” If I am not a Chilean citizen and have been a resident in Chile for less than three years, I am exempt from the requirement to file Tax Form 1853. The forms must be submitted electronically through the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (the “CIRS”) website (xxx.xxx.xx) before March 15 of each year.
I also understand that investments abroad must be registered with the CIRS for me to be entitled to a foreign tax credit for any tax withheld on dividends abroad, if applicable, and such registration also provides evidence of the price paid for the shares of Common Stock which I will need when the shares are sold. It may also be possible for me to provide other evidence of the price paid for the shares and the number of shares purchased and sold; however, neither the Company nor its broker are under any obligation to provide me with such a report.
Securities Law Information. The offer of the option constitutes a private offering in Chile effective as of the date of the offer of the option. The offer of the option is made subject to general ruling n° 336 of the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (“SVS”). The offer refers to securities not registered at the securities registry or at the foreign securities registry of the SVS, and, therefore, such securities are not subject to oversight of the SVS. Given that the option is not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide public information about the option or the shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the option and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the SVS, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.

This is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that such offer will not bind the Company or any Subsidiary, other than as set forth in the Subscription Agreement.
