ADDENDUM A TO THE SHARE OPTION AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS
This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Share Option granted to Participant if Participant works or resides outside the United States.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Plan or the Agreement and have the meanings set forth therein.
1.No Acquired Right. Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, the grant of options under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Committee and the Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. All decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.
(b)This Option (and any similar awards the Company may in the future grant to Participant, even if such awards are made repeatedly or regularly, and regardless of their amount), and Shares acquired under the Plan (A) are wholly discretionary and occasional, are not a term or condition of employment and do not form part of a contract of employment, or any other working arrangement, between Participant and the Company or any Affiliate; (B) do not create any contractual entitlement to receive future awards or benefits in lieu thereof and are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; and (C) do not form part of normal or expected salary or remuneration for purposes of determining pension payments or any other purposes, including without limitation termination indemnities, severance, resignation, payment in lieu of notice, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-term service awards, pension or retirement benefits, welfare benefits or similar payments, except as otherwise required by the applicable law of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the award is subject.
(c)This Option and the Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.
(d)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(e)In the event that Participant’s employer is not the Company, the grant of this Option and any similar awards the Company may grant in the future to Participant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company and, furthermore, the grant of this Option and any similar awards the Company may grant in the future to Participant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with Participant’s employer or any Affiliate.
(f)The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the Option Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value. If Participant exercises this Option and acquires Shares, the value of the acquired Shares may increase or decrease, including below the purchase price of the Shares. The Company and its
A-1
Affiliate are not responsible for any foreign exchange fluctuations between the United States Dollar and Participant’s local currency that may affect the value of this Option or the Shares.
(g)Participant shall have no rights, claim or entitlement to compensation or damages as a result of Participant’s cessation of employment for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of contract or local labor law, insofar as these rights, claim or entitlement arise or may arise from Participant’s ceasing to have rights under or be entitled to exercise this Option as a result of such cessation or loss or diminution in value of the Option or any of the Shares purchased through exercise of the option as a result of such cessation, and Participant irrevocably releases his or her employer, the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, from any such rights, entitlement or claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such right or claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived his or her entitlement to pursue such rights or claim.
2.Data Protection.
(a)In order to facilitate Participant’s participation in the Plan and the administration of the Option, it will be necessary for contractual and legal purposes for the Company (or its Affiliates or payroll administrators) to collect, hold and process certain personal information about Participant (including, without limitation, Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, nationality, social insurance or other identification number and job title and details of the Option and other options awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding and Shares held by Participant). Participant consents explicitly and unambiguously to the Company (or its Affiliates or payroll administrators) collecting, holding and processing Participant’s personal data and transferring this data (in electronic or other form) by and among, as applicable, Participant’s employer, the Company and its Affiliates and other third parties (collectively, the “Data Recipients”) insofar as is reasonably necessary to implement, administer and manage the Plan and the Option. Participant authorizes the Data Recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the data for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and the Option. Participant understands that the data will be transferred to E*TRADE, or such other broker or third party as may be selected by the Company in the future which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the Data Recipients may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have a lower standard of data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country.
(b)The Data Recipients will treat Participant’s personal data as private and confidential and will not disclose such data for purposes other than the management and administration of the Plan and the Option and will take reasonable measures to keep Participant’s personal data private, confidential, accurate and current. Participant understands that the data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan.
(c)Participant understands that Participant may, at any time, make a request to view his or her personal data, require any necessary corrections to it or withdraw
A-2
the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company and that these rights are subject to legal restrictions but acknowledges that without the use of such data it may not be practicable for the Company to administer Participant’s involvement in the Plan in a timely fashion or at all and this may be detrimental to Participant and may result in the possible exclusion of Participant from continued participation with respect to this Option or any future awards under the Plan.

SINGAPORE
Securities Law Notice. The Option is being granted pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Singapore Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Participant should note that such grant is subject to section 257 of the SFA and Participant will not be able to make any subsequent sale in Singapore, or any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares unless such sale or offer in Singapore is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA.
Chief Executive Officer, Director Notification Requirement. If Participant is the Chief Executive Officer, a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singapore Affiliate of the Company, Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singaporean Affiliate of the Company in writing when Participant receives an interest (e.g., the Option or Shares) in the Company or any Affiliate. In addition, Participant must notify the Singaporean Affiliate when Participant sells Shares or shares of any other Affiliate of the Company (including when Participant sells Shares acquired under the Option). These notifications must be made within two (2) days of acquiring or disposing of an interest in the Company or any Affiliate. In addition, within two (2) days of becoming the Chief Executive Officer, a director, associate director or shadow director, Participant must notify the Singaporean Affiliate of any interest Participant may have in the Company or any Affiliate. Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to Participant’s reporting obligations under the Singapore Companies Act.
SPAIN
Nature of Grant. This provision supplements Section 1 of Addendum A to the Agreement titled “No Acquired Rightsˮ:
In accepting the Option, Participant consents to participate in the Plan and acknowledges that Participant has received a copy of the Plan.
B-7
Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant share options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or an Affiliate throughout the world. 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 an Affiliate. Consequently, Participant understands that the Option is granted on the assumption and condition that the Option and any Shares issued are not part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, Participant understands that Participant will not be entitled to continue vesting in the Option after termination of Participant’s service. In addition, Participant understands that the Option would not be granted to Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to herein; thus, Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of the Option and any right to the Option shall be null and void.
Further, the vesting of the Option is expressly conditioned on Participant’s continued service, such that upon termination of Participant’s service for any reason whatsoever, the Option may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of termination of Participant’s service (as determined by the Agreement). This will be the case, for example, even if (1) Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons; or (2) Participant’s termination of service is due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or Participant’s employer. Consequently, upon Participant’s termination of service for any of the above reasons, Participant may automatically lose any rights to the Option to the extent not vested on the date of Participant’s termination of service, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.
SWITZERLAND

Prospective purchasers of the securities offered should conduct their own due diligence on the securities. If Participant does not understand the contents of the Plan and the Agreement, Participant should consult an authorized financial adviser. The Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority has no responsibility for reviewing or verifying any documents in connection with the Plan. Neither the Ministry of Economy nor the Dubai Department of Economic Development has approved the Plan or the Agreement nor taken steps to verify the information set out herein, and has no responsibility for such documents.

Taxes. Any reference to the withholding of Applicable Taxes, including any obligation to withhold, shall be treated as including a reference to any amount of Applicable Taxes in respect of which the Company (or an Affiliate) is required to account to any tax authority.
Termination of Service. Participant has no right to compensation or damages on account of any loss in respect of an Option under the Plan where the loss arises or is claimed to arise in whole or part from: (a) the termination of Participant’s office or employment; or (b) notice to terminate Participant’s office or employment. This exclusion of liability shall apply however termination of office or employment, or the giving of notice, is caused, and however compensation or damages are claimed. For the purpose of the Plan, the implied duty of trust and confidence is expressly excluded.
Employer NIC. As a condition to participation in the Plan and the exercise of the Option, Participant hereby agrees to accept all liability for and pay all secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions which would otherwise be payable by the Company (or any successor or any Affiliate employing or previously employing Participant) with respect to the exercise of the Option or any other event giving rise to taxation under this Option (the “Employer NIC”). Participant agrees that Participant will execute, within the time period specified by the Company, a joint election (the “Joint Electionˮ) provided by the Company and any other consent or elections required to effect the transfer of the Employer NIC. Participant further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between Participant and any successor to the Company and/or Participant's employer. Participant further agrees that the Company and/or Participant's employer may collect the Employer NIC by any of the means set forth in the Joint Election.
