The actual number of Units subject to the Award (the “Actual Award”) will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) based on Core Adjusted EPS (as defined below) measured on a cumulative basis (the “Cumulative Core Adjusted EPS”) for fiscal years [_____________] (the “Performance Period”), as follows:

Appendix B
to
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

Country-Specific Provisions
This Appendix B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award and dividend equivalents granted to you under the Plan if you are a Participant and reside and/or work in one of the countries listed herein. If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you currently are working and/or residing (or if you are considered as such for local law purposes), or if you transfer or relocate employment or residence to another country after the Grant Date, the Company, in its discretion, will determine the extent to which the terms and conditions herein will be applicable to you.
This Appendix B also includes information regarding securities and other laws of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. The information is based on laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2022. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, you should not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date by the time you vest in the Award and any dividend equivalents or sell the Shares acquired under the Plan. In addition, the information noted herein is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the applicable laws may apply to your situation. That is your responsibility, and not the Company’s.
If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you currently are working and/or residing (or if you are considered as such for local law purposes), or if you transfer employment or residence to another country after the Grant Date, the information noted herein may not be applicable to you in the same manner.

j.    for purposes of the Award and dividend equivalents, and unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Agreement or determined by the Company, your Continuous Service will terminate, and your right (if any) to earn, seek damages in lieu of, or otherwise be paid any portion of the Units pursuant to the Agreement, will be measured by the date that is the earliest of (i) the date your employment with the Employer is terminated, whether by you or by the Company or the Employer; and (ii) the date you receive written notice of termination from to the Company or the Employer, in either case, regardless of any period during which notice, pay in lieu of notice or related payments or damages are provided or required to be provided under local law.

Warning
This is an offer of rights to receive Shares underlying the Award and dividend equivalents. Shares give you a stake in the ownership of the Company. Shares are quoted on the NYSE. This means you may be able to sell them on the NYSE if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.
If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You also will have fewer other legal protections for this investment.
In compliance with applicable New Zealand securities laws, you are entitled to receive, in electronic or other form and free of cost, copies of the Company’s latest annual report, relevant financial statements and the auditor’s report on said financial statements (if any).
You should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself.

Spain
Labor Law Acknowledgement. The following provision supplements the Nature of Grant section in Appendix A:

By accepting the Award and any dividend equivalents, you acknowledge that you understand and agree that you consent to participation in the Plan and that you have received a copy of the Plan.

You further understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate throughout the world. The decision to grant the Awards and dividend equivalents is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate on an ongoing basis other than as set forth in this Agreement. Consequently, you understand that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the Shares is unknown and unpredictable.
Additionally, you understand that the vesting and settlement of the Award and any dividend equivalents is expressly conditioned on your continued and active rendering of service to the Employer such that if your Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than as expressly provided in Section 4 of the Agreement, your Award and dividend equivalents will cease vesting immediately effective as of the date of termination of your Continuous Service. This will be the case, for example, even if (1) you are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”); (2) you are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) you terminate Continuous Service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) you terminate Continuous Service due to the Company’s or any Parent’s, Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s unilateral breach of contract; or (5) your Continuous Service terminates for any other reason whatsoever, in each case other than as expressly provided in Section 4 of the Agreement. Consequently, upon termination of your Continuous Service for any of the above reasons, you will automatically lose any rights to Awards and any dividend equivalents granted to you that were unvested on the date of termination of your Continuous Service, as described in the Agreement.
Finally, you understand that this grant would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to herein; 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 of an Award and any dividend equivalents shall be null and void.

Without limiting the Company’s or the Employer’s authority to satisfy their withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items as set forth in Section 13 of the Agreement as further supplemented by the Responsibility for Taxes section in Appendix A, by accepting the Award and any dividend equivalents, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer to withhold Shares or to sell Shares otherwise deliverable to you upon vesting/settlement to satisfy Tax-Related Items, regardless of whether the Company and/or the Employer have an obligation to withhold such Tax-Related Items.

Prospective purchasers of the securities offered (i.e., the Units) should conduct their own due diligence on the securities.

Without limitation to Section 13 of the Agreement and the Responsibility for Taxes section in Appendix A, you agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax or other relevant authority). You also agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any taxes or other amounts that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax or other relevant authority) on your behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or an executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In such case, if the amount of any income tax due is not collected from or paid by you within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year (April 6 - April 5) in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You understand and agree that 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 paying the Company or the Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may obtain from you by any of the means referred to in the Plan or the Agreement.
