Who May Hold/Exercise the Option.

General Rule - Exercise by Director Only. During the lifetime of the Director, the Option may be exercised only by the Director or the Director’s Representative.

Death Exception. If the Director dies, then the Option may be exercised only by the executor or administrator of the estate of the Director or the person or persons to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution. Such person(s) shall furnish the appropriate tax clearances, proof of the right of such person(s) to exercise the Option, and other pertinent data as the Company may deem necessary.

Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee or its delegate, the Option is not transferable other than: (A) by will or the laws of descent and distribution; or (B) by the Director as a gift to the Director’s spouse, child or grandchild (the Director’s “Immediate Family”) or to a family trust, a family partnership, a family limited liability company, or a similar arrangement for the benefit of members of the Director’s Immediate Family. It may not be assigned, transferred (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or hypothecated in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Any attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any attachment or similar process upon such Option, shall be null and void.

Method of Exercise. The Option may be exercised only by:

delivery to the designated employee or agent of the Company of a written, electronic, or telephonic notice of exercise, specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is then being exercised, and payment of the full Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased in cash or with other Shares held by the Director having a then Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price;

delivery of a properly-executed exercise notice together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Exercise Price;

a combination of (i) and (ii) above; or

any other manner approved by the Committee from time to time.

tendering a cash payment;

having the Company withhold Shares from the Option exercised to satisfy the applicable withholding tax;

tendering Shares received in connection with the Option back to the Company; or

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

No Right to Continued Service. This Agreement and the Director’s participation in the Program is not and shall not be interpreted to:

form a contractual or other relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

confer upon the Director any right to continue in the service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Director’s service at any time.

No Contract as of Right. The grant of an Option under the Program does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Options or other Program Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the Director. Future Option grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

Data Privacy.

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Director’s personal Data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the Program and the Director’s participation in the Program. The Director’s denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Director:

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

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

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

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

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

obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

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

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

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

Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company’s Shares are listed. If the Director relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternate terms and conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local laws, rules or regulations, to facilitate the operation and administration of the Option and the Program and/or to accommodate the Director's relocation.
