Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Terms and Conditions. The terms included in this Appendix are intended to ensure compliance with the laws of the country in which you are employed.

Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2015. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the information in the Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that you receive payment of your Awards.
In addition, the information contained 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 are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.
Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working, transfer employment and/or residency after the Awards are granted or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to you in the same manner.
