a. | Responsibility for Taxes. By accepting the Award, you acknowledge and agree that: |
i. | regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”), you shall be ultimately responsible for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you or legally imposed on the Company or the Employer as a result of your participation in the Plan and deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to you (“Tax-Related Items”); |
ii. | your liability for Tax-Related Items may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer; |
iii. | the Company and/or the Employer make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; |
iv. | the Company and/or the Employer do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result; and |
v. | if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. |
b. | Withholding Taxes. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: |
i. | withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to you in connection with vesting of the Units; or |
ii. | withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the Units, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization). |
If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of
MARCH 2017 -6-
Common Stock subject to the vested Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. You 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 your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock, or the proceeds of the sale of such shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
c. | Withholding Taxes for Section 16 Officers. Notwithstanding Section 9(b) above, if you are considered an officer for purposes of the Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) you may elect to satisfy your obligations for Tax-Related Items by one of the withholding methods set forth in Section 9(b)(i) - (ii) above, unless otherwise set forth in the Appendix for your country. In the absence of such an election, the Company and/or the Employer will satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable in connection with the applicable vesting Units, as set forth in Section 9(b)(i), unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities laws, or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items will be satisfied by the methods set forth in Sections 9(b)(ii) above. |
10. | NATURE OF GRANT. In accepting the Award, you acknowledge, understand and agree that: |
a. | the 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 Plan; |

d. | the Award and your participation in the 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, as applicable, to terminate your employment relationship (if any); |
e. | you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; |

h. | the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Units is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; |
i. | except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Units and the benefits evidenced by the Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock of the Company; and |
j. | in addition to subsections (a) through (i) above, the following provisions will also apply if you are providing services outside the United States: |

APPENDIX TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Units granted to you under the Plan if you work and/or reside in one of the countries listed below. If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working (or are considered as such for local law purposes), or if you transfer employment or residency to a different country after the Units are granted, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will be applicable to you.
Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Award Agreement.
NOTIFICATIONS
This Appendix also includes notifications regarding certain issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. These notifications are based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2017. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the notifications contained in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be outdated at the time you vest in the Units or sell any shares of Common Stock acquired upon such vesting.
In addition, the notifications contained in this Appendix are general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation and, as a result, the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you are strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your individual situation.
If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working (or are considered as such for local law purposes), or if you relocate to a different country after the Units are granted, the notifications contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to you in the same manner.

In accepting the Award, you acknowledge and agree that the grant of Units is made by the Company (not the Employer) in its sole discretion and that the value of the Units or any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan shall not constitute salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, including, but not limited to, the calculation of (i) any labor benefits including, without limitation, vacation pay, thirteenth salary, compensation in lieu of notice, annual bonus, disability, and leave of absence payments, etc., or (ii) any termination or severance indemnities or similar payments.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits under the Plan are considered as salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, you acknowledge and agree that such benefits shall not accrue more frequently than on each RSU Vesting Date.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. Neither the Units nor the underlying shares of Common Stock are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina. The offer is private and not subject to the supervision of any Argentine governmental authority.
Exchange Control Information. Following the sale of shares of Common Stock and/or the receipt of dividends, Argentine residents may be subject to certain restrictions in bringing such funds back into Argentina. The Argentine bank handling the transaction may request certain documentation in connection with the request to transfer sale proceeds into Argentina (e.g., evidence of the sale, proof of the source of the funds used to purchase such shares, etc.). Argentine residents are solely responsible for complying with applicable Argentine exchange control rules that may apply in connection with their participation in the Plan and/or the transfer of cash proceeds into Argentina. Prior to transferring cash proceeds into Argentina, Argentine residents should consult with their local bank and/or exchange control advisor to confirm what will be required by the bank because interpretations of the applicable Central Bank regulations vary by bank and exchange control rules and regulations are subject to change without notice.
Foreign Asset and Account Reporting. Argentine residents must report any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held by the resident on December 31st of each year on their annual tax return for that year. Argentine residents should consult with their personal tax advisor to determine their personal reporting obligations.

MARCH 2017 -17-
Les parties reconnaissent avoir expressement souhaité que la convention [“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 Notice and Consent. This provision supplements Section 15 of the Award Agreement (Consent to Transfer Personal Data):
You hereby authorize the Company and its representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. You further authorize the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. You further authorize the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary to record such information and to keep such information in your employee file.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. Canadian residents may not be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the Units within Canada. Canadian residents may only be permitted to sell or dispose of any such shares if such sale or disposal takes place outside of Canada on the facilities on which the Common Stock is traded (i.e., on the New York Stock Exchange).
Foreign Asset and Account Reporting. Foreign property, including shares of Common Stock, stock options, and other rights to receive shares of Common Stock (e.g., Units) of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident employee must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the employee’s foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, such Units must be reported – generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because other foreign property is held by the employee. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of such shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of acquisition, but if the employee owns other shares of Common Stock of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. Canadian residents should consult with their personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with their reporting requirements.
CHILE
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The grant of the Award constitutes a private offering of securities in Chile effective as of the Date of Grant. This offer of Restricted Stock Units 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 Restricted Stock Units are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide public information about the Restricted Stock Units or the shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the Restricted Stock Units and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the SVS, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.
Esta Oferta del Otorgamiento constituye una oferta privada de valores en Chile y se inicia en la Fecha de la Oferta. Esta oferta de Unidades de Acciones Restringidas se acoge a las disposiciones de la Norma de Carácter General Nº 336 (“NCG 336”) de la Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros de Chile (“SVS”). Esta oferta versa sobre valores no inscritos en el Registro de Valores o en el Registro de Valores Extranjeros que lleva la SVS, por lo que tales valores no están sujetos a la fiscalización de ésta. Por tratarse de valores no inscritos en Chile no existe la obligación por parte de la Compañía de entregar en Chile información

Exchange Control Information. Chilean residents are not required to repatriate proceeds obtained from the sale of shares of Common Stock or from dividends to Chile; however, if the Chilean resident decides to repatriate such proceeds to Chile and the amount of the proceeds to be repatriated exceeds US$10,000, such resident must effect such repatriation through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office in Chile). If the Chilean resident does not repatriate the proceeds and uses such proceeds for the payment of other obligations contemplated under a different Chapter of the Foreign Exchange Regulations, the resident must sign Annex 1 of the Manual of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations and file it directly with the Central Bank of Chile within the first 10 days of the month immediately following the transaction.
Further, if the value of the Chilean resident’s aggregate investments held outside of Chile (including the value of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) is equal to or greater than US$5,000,000 at any time during the year, such resident may need to report the status of such investments on a quarterly basis to the Central Bank using Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations of the Central Bank.
Foreign Asset and Account Reporting. If a Chilean resident holds shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan outside of Chile, the resident may be required to inform the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (the “CIRS”) of the details of his or her investment in such shares by filing Tax Form 1851 (“Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Permanent Investments Held Abroad”). Further, if such resident wishes to receive credit against his or her Chilean income taxes for any taxes paid abroad, such resident must report the payment of taxes abroad to the CIRS by filing Tax Form 1853 (“Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Credits for Taxes Paid Abroad”). These statements must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website (www.sii.cl) before March 15 of each year. Chilean residents should consult with their personal tax advisor to determine their personal reporting obligations.
CHINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following terms apply only to nationals of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) residing in the PRC, unless otherwise determined by the Company:
Immediate Sale Restriction. Due to exchange control laws in the PRC, you understand and agree that the Company may require that any shares of Common Stock acquired upon the vesting of the Units be immediately sold. If the Company, in its discretion, does not exercise its right to require the automatic sale of shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting of the Units, as described in the preceding sentence, you understand and agree that any such shares acquired by you under the Plan must be sold no later than ninety (90) days after your termination of employment, or within any other such time frame as may be permitted by the Company or required by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). You understand that any shares of Common Stock acquired by you under the Plan that have not been sold within ninety (90) days of your termination of employment will be automatically sold by the Designated Broker at the Company’s direction, pursuant to this authorization by you.
You agree that the Company is authorized to instruct the Designated Broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such shares (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization), and you expressly authorize the Designated Broker to complete the sale of such shares. You also agree to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Designated Broker) to effectuate the sale of the
MARCH 2017 -19-
shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, as to the transfers of the proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters, provided that you shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. You acknowledge that the Designated Broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of Common Stock at any particular price. Due to fluctuations in the price of the Common Stock and/or applicable exchange rates between the RSU Vesting Date and (if later) the date on which the shares of Common Stock are sold, the amount of proceeds ultimately distributed to you may be more or less than the market value of the shares of Common Stock on the RSU Vesting Date (which is the amount relevant to determining your Tax-Related Items liability). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the price of the Common Stock and/or any applicable exchange rate. You acknowledge that you are not aware of any material nonpublic information with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company as of the date of the Agreement.
Upon the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale (less any applicable Tax-Related Items, brokerage fees or commissions) to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the restrictions set forth in this Appendix for China below under “Exchange Control Restrictions”.
Exchange Control Restrictions. By accepting the Award, you understand and agree that, due to PRC exchange control restrictions, you are not permitted to transfer any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan out of your account established with the Designated Broker and that you will be required to repatriate all proceeds due to you under the Plan to the PRC, including any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan or dividends.
Further, you understand that such repatriation will need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or Subsidiary in the PRC, and you hereby consent and agree that the proceeds may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. The proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or in local currency, at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, you understand that you will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in the PRC so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are paid in local currency, you acknowledge that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is under an obligation to secure any particular currency conversion rate and that the Company (or a Subsidiary) may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control requirements in the PRC. You agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the shares of Common Stock are sold and the time the proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to you. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with PRC exchange control requirements.
NOTIFICATIONS
Foreign Asset and Account Reporting. PRC residents may be required to report to SAFE all details of their foreign financial assets and liabilities, as well as details of any economic transactions conducted with non-PRC residents. PRC residents should consult with their personal tax advisor to determine their personal reporting obligations.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Labor Law Acknowledgement. This provision supplements the acknowledgment contained in Section 10 of the Award Agreement (Nature of Grant):

Securities Law Acknowledgment. The Plan is offered in Colombia on the basis that offer of the Units and/or the sale of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan will not constitute a “public offering of securities” under Law 964 of 2005. In the event that the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the offer of the Units in Colombia may constitute a “public offer of securities” under Law 964 of 2005, you understand and agree that the Company may, in its sole discretion, cease to offer participation in the Plan in Colombia. In the event that the Company exercises its discretion to cease offering the Plan in Colombia, you will no longer be permitted to participate in the Plan as of the date established by the Company.

By accepting the Award, you understand and agree that the Units are offered subject to and in accordance with the Israeli Addendum (Sub-Plan) to the Plan (the “Israeli Subplan”), are granted under the Capital Gains Tax Track Through a Trustee (as defined in the Israeli Subplan) and are intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment set forth under the “capital gains” track of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [new version] 1961 (“102 Capital Gains Treatment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not undertake to maintain the qualified status of the Units and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to damages of any nature whatsoever if the Award becomes disqualified.

Further, to the extent requested by the Company or the Employer, you agree to execute any letter or other agreement that may be required in connection with the grant or tax-qualified status of the Award or any future award granted under the Israeli Subplan.

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 purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. You should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing to participate in the Plan.

This Appendix, the Award Agreement, the Plan and all other materials that you may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia. Absent any requirement under local law, the issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan has not and will not be registered in Russia; hence, the securities described in any Plan-related documents may not be used for offering or public circulation in Russia.
Exchange Control Information. Russian residents are required to repatriate the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock received in relation to the Units to Russia. Effective August 2, 2014, dividends (but not dividend equivalents) do not need to be remitted to Russian resident’s bank account in Russia, but instead, can be remitted directly to a foreign individual bank account (in Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) and Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”) countries). Russian residents must repatriate cash proceeds to the residents’ bank account in Russia when the proceeds are released to the resident. Russian residents may subsequently remit such proceeds to a foreign bank account. Russian residents should consult their personal advisor before remitting any sale proceeds to Russia, as significant penalties may apply in the case of non-compliance with exchange control requirement and exchange control requirements are subject to change at any time, often without notice. As from January 1, 2018, cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock listed on the Russian stock exchange or a foreign exchange on the legally approved list, currently including the New York Stock Exchange, also can be paid directly to your foreign bank account opened with a bank located in an OECD or FATF country.
Foreign Asset and Account Reporting. Russian residents will be required to notify the Russian tax authorities within one month of opening or closing a foreign bank account or of changing any account details. Effective as of January 1, 2015, Russian residents are also required to file with the Russian tax authorities reports of the transactions in their foreign bank accounts. Russian residents should consult with their personal tax advisor for additional information about these reporting obligations.
Labor Law Information. If Russian residents continue to hold shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting of the Units after an involuntary termination of their employment, they will not be eligible to receive unemployment benefits in Russia.
Anti-Corruption Law. Certain individuals who hold public office in Russia, as well as their spouses and dependent children, are prohibited from opening or maintaining foreign brokerage or bank accounts and holding any securities, whether acquired directly or indirectly in a foreign company (including shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan).

SPAIN
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Nature of Grant. The following provision supplements Section 10 of the Award Agreement (Nature of Grant):
In accepting the Award, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan.
You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. This decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than as expressly set forth in the Plan and the Agreement. Consequently, you understand that the Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Units and any shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of the Units are not a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.
Further, you understand and agree that, unless otherwise expressly provided for by the Company or set forth in the Agreement, the Units will be cancelled without entitlement to any shares of Common Stock if your employment is terminated for any reason, including, but not limited to: resignation, retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, or under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine the date when your employment has terminated for purposes of the Units.
In addition, you understand that this grant would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; 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, or right to, the Units shall be null and void.

Securities Law Information. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the Units. The Agreement has not been, nor will it be, registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
Foreign Asset and Account Reporting. To the extent that Spanish residents hold rights or assets (e.g., shares of Common Stock, cash, etc.) in a bank or brokerage account outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 per type of right or asset as of December 31 each year, such residents are required to report information on such rights and assets on their tax return for such year. Shares of Common Stock constitute securities for purposes of this requirement, but unvested rights (e.g., Units) are not considered assets or rights for purposes of this requirement.
MARCH 2017 -38-
If applicable, Spanish residents must report the assets or rights on Form 720 by no later than March 31 following the end of the relevant year. After such assets or rights are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported assets or rights increases by more than €20,000. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement may result in penalties.
Spanish residents are also required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the securities held in such accounts, if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceeds €1,000,000. More frequent reporting is required if such transaction value or account balance exceeds €1,000,000.
Spanish residents should consult with their personal tax and legal advisors to ensure compliance with their personal reporting obligations.
Exchange Control Information. If you are a Spanish resident and you acquire shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the Units, you must declare such acquisition to the Spanish Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”), the Bureau for Commerce and Investments, which is a department of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. Spanish residents must also declare ownership of any shares of Common Stock by filing a Form D-6 with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January while such shares are owned. In addition, the sale of shares of Common Stock must also be declared on Form D-6 filed with the DGCI in January, unless the sale proceeds exceed the applicable threshold (currently €1,502,530), in which case, the filing is due within one month after the sale. In addition, you may be required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign instruments (including shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan), and any transactions with non-Spanish residents, depending on the balances in such accounts together with the value of such instruments as of December 31 of the relevant year, or the volume of transactions with non-Spanish residents during the relevant year.
