Pursuant to the Plan, the Administrator of the Plan hereby grants to the Participant named in the Notice to which this Agreement is attached, an Award, subject to the terms of the Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, effective as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Notice (the “Grant Date”). Except as otherwise indicated, any capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Notice or the Plan.

1.Grant of Award.  Each Award of Restricted Stock Unit shall represent the unsecured right to receive one Share upon the vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit, subject to certain restrictions, as determined in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan and the Notice. The number of Restricted Stock Units is set forth in the Notice.  

2.Vesting Schedule. Subject to Section 1, the Award shall vest pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice.  

3.Termination of Service.  In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, any Restricted Stock Units that are not vested as of the date of such Termination of Service will be forfeited and Participant will have no right to the forfeited Restricted Stock Units or the underlying Shares.

4.Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units will be treated in accordance with Section 15(c) of the Plan.

5.Voting Rights. Participant shall have no voting rights or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units unless and until Participant becomes the record owner of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units.

6.Dividend Equivalents. If dividend equivalents are included in this Award, as determined by the Administrator and indicated in the Notice, and a cash dividend is declared on Shares during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date on which the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units are distributed to Participant pursuant to this Agreement, Participant shall be eligible to receive an amount in cash (a “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the dividend that Participant would have received had the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units been held by Participant as of the time at which such dividend was declared. Each Dividend Equivalent will be paid to Participant in cash as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than 30 days) after the applicable Vesting Date of the corresponding Restricted Stock Units. For clarity, no Dividend Equivalent will be paid with respect to any Restricted Stock Units that are forfeited.

7.Distribution of Shares. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon the vesting of any of the Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to Participant, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than 30 days) after the applicable Vesting Date, one Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit; provided that, if a valid deferral election is in effect with respect to this Award pursuant to an Administrator-approved deferred compensation plan, the delivery of shares shall occur at such time or times as set forth in such election.  Upon the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Shares delivered shall be fully assignable, alienable, saleable and transferrable by Participant; provided that any such assignment, alienation, sale, transfer or other alienation with respect to such Shares shall be in accordance with applicable securities laws and any applicable Company policy.

8.Responsibility for Taxes.  

(a)Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally

2

applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) 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 Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that 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)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:  

(1)withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or

(2)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or

(3)withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, provided, however, that if Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, then the Administrator (as constituted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) shall establish the method of withholding from alternatives (a)-(c) herein and, if the Administrator does not exercise its discretion prior to the Tax-Related Items withholding event, then Participant shall be entitled to elect the method of withholding from the alternatives above in advance of any taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, and in the absence of Participant’s timely election, the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, or the Administrator (as constituted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) may determine that a particular method be used to satisfy any obligations for Tax‑Related Items; or

(4)any other method of withholding determined by the Company and permitted by applicable law.

(c)Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the relevant Participant jurisdiction(s), in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

9.Deferral of Compensation.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, this Award is intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A; provided that the Company does not guarantee to Participant any particular tax treatment of the Restricted Stock Units.  In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Participant by Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Code Section 409A, if Shares subject to Restricted Stock Units will be withheld (or sold on Participant’s behalf) to satisfy any Tax Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the Restricted Stock Units for any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, then the

3

number of Shares withheld (or sold on Participant’s behalf) shall not exceed the number of Shares that equals the liability for Tax-Related Items.

10.Nature of Grant.  In accepting the Award, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees 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;

(b)the grant of the Award is voluntary, exceptional and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards, or benefits in lieu of awards, even if awards have been granted in the past;

(d)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(g)in the event that Participant is not an employee of the Company, the Award and Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company;

(h)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from Participant’s Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any) and, in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any such claim against the Company, the Employer, or any Subsidiary, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company, the Employer, and any Subsidiary from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;

(j)for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, Participant’s employment or service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company, the Employer or a Subsidiary (the “Termination Date”) (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any) and, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement or determined by the Company, Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any); the Administrator shall have the exclusive

4

discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence); and

(k)neither the Company, the Employer, nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares.

BELGIUM

Taxation, Withholding and Reporting

You will be subject to personal income tax (at the normal progressive income tax rates) on the fair market value of the Shares on the date of Vesting and on any Dividend Equivalents.

Your local employer is required to withhold income tax at the time of the taxable event and to report the taxable amount on your salary slip.  You are always obliged and responsible to report the benefit in kind on your annual income tax return and to pay any taxes resulting from the acquisition of the Shares.

Your local employer will also withhold employee social security contributions (of 13.07% of the benefit in kind) from your monthly salary.

Sale of Shares

On the date(s) that you sell any Shares acquired, you generally will not be subject to taxation on any gain you realize from the sale.

However, you will be subject to a stock exchange tax at the time you sell the Shares. The stock exchange tax applies on the sale proceeds on a per transaction basis (subject to the applicable maximum threshold). You will be responsible for filing a stock exchange tax return and paying the tax due by the end of the second month following the month of the sale, except in the unlikely event that the financial intermediary involved in the sale of Company shares arranges to pay and/or remit the stock exchange tax on your behalf via a Belgian representative.

Dividends

Where Shares are acquired, dividends may be paid with respect to these Shares. The dividends received will be subject to income tax in Belgium (at a rate of 30%) and to U.S. federal income withholding tax.  The employee may be entitled to reduce the U.S. federal income withholding tax rate provided that the appropriate certifications concerning domicile in Belgium are provided as required by the United States Internal Revenue Service.

Notifications

You are required to report any securities (e.g., Shares acquired under the Plan) held and bank accounts (including brokerage accounts) opened and maintained outside of Belgium on your annual tax return.

The references in the Plan and / or the Agreement to “tax” or “Tax-Related Items” includes any and all taxes, charges, levies and contributions in Ireland or elsewhere, to include, in particular, Universal Social Charge (USC) and Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) (“Taxes”).

The Participant shall be accountable for any Taxes, which are chargeable on any assessable income deriving from the grant, exercise, purchase, or vesting of, or other dealing in, Awards or Shares issued pursuant to an Award.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall become liable for any Taxes, as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.  In respect of

13

such assessable income, the Participant shall indemnify the Company and (at the direction of the Company) any Subsidiary, which is or may be treated as the employer of the Participant in respect of the Taxes (the “Tax Liabilities”).

Pursuant to the indemnity referred to above, where necessary, the Participant shall make such arrangements as the Company or any Subsidiary requires to meet the cost of the Tax Liabilities, including at the direction of the Company any of the following:

Securities Law Information.  Neither the grant of the Award of Restricted Stock Units, being non-transferable securities of the Company, to Participants in Ireland, nor the subsequent issuance of Shares on vesting of any such Restricted Stock Units, will trigger a requirement to produce a prospectus or other information or disclosure document under Irish securities law.

Termination Date. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, for the purposes of section 10 (j), a Participant’s employment or service relationship will be considered terminated upon the giving of (written) notice of termination by either party to the other in accordance with the Participant’s employment or service contract and/or in any event as of the date of termination, and “Termination Date” will be construed accordingly.

At Will Employment. The Company acknowledges that the concept of “at will” employment does not apply in Ireland. Accordingly, where the Plan refers to “at the will” of the Company in section 14, it should be read as though these words are deleted therefrom.

SPAIN

Terms and Conditions

Plan Document Acknowledgement.  By accepting the Award, Participant acknowledges that (a) Participant has received the Plan and the Agreement, including this Appendix; (b) Participant has reviewed those documents in their entirety and fully understands the contents thereof; and (c) Participant accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Agreement, including this Appendix.

Responsibility for Taxes: The following provisions would supplement the section 8 of the Agreement:

The Participant acknowledges that employment taxable income shall arise for him/her on the date of the delivery of the Shares derived from the Restricted Stock Units and this shall be determined on the fair market value of the Shares on that date.

Also, the Participant acknowledges that, irrespective of the withholding and reporting tax obligations of the Employer, he/she is responsible to report the benefit in kind derived from the delivery of the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units on his/her annual Personal Income Tax return and, when necessary, to pay any taxes resulting from such event. This Personal Income Tax Return should be generally submitted no later than June 30^th of the correspondent following year.

The Participant is informed that current Personal Income Tax Law states the following tax benefits that may be applicable on the correspondent taxable income derived from the delivery of shares to employees:

In general terms, under current Personal Income Tax Law, an annual exemption of up to 12,000 euros can be applicable to the remuneration in kind derived from the delivery of shares of a company to its employees as a consequence of the participation in the company or other group company, if:

15

As long as the Personal Income Tax Law requires that the delivery of shares has to be made to active employees, this exemption should not be applicable to members of the Board of Directors, or to individuals without an employment relationship (e.g. consultants, service providers, etc.).

In general terms, a 30 percent reduction could be applicable on the employment income subject to taxation, in this case, derived from the delivery of the Shares, if:

The maximum amount that can benefit from the 30 percent reduction is limited to 300,000 euros.

The application of these tax benefits should be analysed in a case by case basis.

Transfer of the Shares

The transfer of the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall generate a capital gain or loss for the Participant to be calculated as the difference between the transfer price of the Shares and their market value on the date of delivery to the Participant.

The correspondent capital gains and losses derived from the transfer of the Shares shall be included in the saving tax base of the Personal Income Tax return of the Participant for the correspondent tax period. In general terms, gains and losses can be offset against each other in each tax period, resulting in a positive or negative balance.

In relation to the provisions of the section 8 (b) of this document, when a partial sale of the Shares is made in order to apply the correspondent withholding taxes, a capital gain or loss may arise for the Participant. If the Participant held Shares of the Company prior to the delivery of the Shares derived from this Plan, in order to calculate the taxable capital gain or loss, the acquisition price would be calculated by applying the FIFO (First In First Out) method, according to which the Shares transferred by the Participant shall be deemed to be those which he/she acquired in the first place, that is to say, those that were kept for longer in his/her assets.

Dividends

Dividends received from the Shares acquired will be reportable in the correspondent annual Personal Income Tax return and subject to taxation in the saving tax base of the Personal Income Tax of the Participant at a progressive tax scale currently ranging from 19 to 26 per cent.

Reporting obligations for the Participants

In addition to the correspondent tax reporting obligations for the Participants in the annual Personal Income Tax returns of the employment income derived from the delivery of the Shares, the capital gain or loss derived for any transfer of the Shares and the dividends received, the following reporting obligations may be applicable:

The Participants considered tax resident in Spain should take into consideration the value of the Shares for Spanish Net Wealth Tax (“NWT”) purposes. In this regard, the NWT is levied on an individual’s worldwide net worth as of December 31^st each fiscal year.

16

Currently there is an annual obligation to file a NWT return for taxpayers who are in the following circumstances:

Participants considered tax residents should also file an informative declaration, reporting the foreign goods and assets (Form 720) held by December 31^st of the correspondent tax year, which does not imply a tax liability.

As a summary, this reporting obligation involves to provide information about the following blocks of goods, rights and assets located outside Spain:

The obligation to file this declaration is determined by analysing each block, and arises, for the first time, when the value of the assets of at least one of these blocks exceeds the limit of 50,000 euros.

This declaration must be filed, generally, before the end of March of the correspondent following year.

Once the first declaration is submitted, it must only be submitted again when the joint value of all the assets and rights, of each of the aforementioned blocks, had increased more than 20,000 euros with respect to the value that determined the filing of the last declaration and, in any case, when the holders, representatives, authorized persons, beneficiaries, persons with powers of disposal or real owners no longer have such status over the assets and rights declared at December 31^st of the corresponding tax year.

It should be noted that the inobservance of this reporting obligation may lead to substantial monetary fines.

UNITED KINGDOM

Terms and Conditions

Distribution of Shares.  This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:

17

Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan, Restricted Stock Units granted to Participants in the United Kingdom shall be paid in Shares and not in cash or a combination of cash and Shares.

Responsibility for Taxes. The following provisions supplement Section 8 of the Agreement:

Participant agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Employer, or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or other relevant authority).  Participant also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or other relevant authority) on Participant’s behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is an executive officer or director of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply.  In the event Participant is an executive officer or director of the Company and the income tax is not collected from or paid by Participant within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable.  Participant acknowledges that Participant 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 National Insurance contributions due on this additional benefit.  Participant further acknowledges that the Company or the Employer may collect such amounts from Participant by any of the means referred to in Section 8 of the Agreement.

Joint Election.  As a condition of Participant’s participation in the Plan, Participant agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the Restricted Stock Units and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer’s Liability”). Without limitation to the foregoing, Participant agrees to execute the following joint election with the Company (the “Joint Election”), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and to execute any other consents or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer’s Liability to Participant.  Participant further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between Participant and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer.  Participant further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer’s Liability from him or her by any of the means set forth in Section 8 of the Agreement.

If Participant does not enter into the Joint Election prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or any other event giving rise to Tax-Related Items, he or she will not be entitled to vest in the Restricted Stock Units or receive any benefit in connection with the Restricted Stock Units unless and until he or she enters into the Joint Election and no Shares or other benefit pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units will be issued to Participant under the Plan, without any liability to the Company and/or the Employer; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply if Participant is a U.S. taxpayer and the application of this provision would cause the Restricted Stock Units to fail to qualify under an exemption from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Code.
