General Conditions. Please carefully review all of the provisions of the Plan. In addition to the conditions set forth in the Plan, the Option is contingent upon satisfying the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.

Vesting. The Option will vest in three equal tranches over a period of three years (one-third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Grant Date), subject to any acceleration provisions contained in the Plan or otherwise set forth in this Agreement and the Optionee’s continuous employment or service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the Grant Date through the applicable vesting date (each date on which a portion of the Option will vest pursuant to this Agreement, a “Vesting Date”).

Maximum Term. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Option will expire at the close of business on the final trading day immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

Exercise Restrictions. Subject to any country-specific variations, the vested portion of the Option may be exercised at any time after its applicable Vesting Date and prior to the expiration of the Option, provided that at the time of the exercise all of the conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement have been met. No portion of the Option may be exercised prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date or after the expiration of the maximum term set forth in Section 3, above.

Accelerated Vesting Events. The Option awarded pursuant to this Agreement will vest according to the schedule set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, subject to the Optionee’s continuous service with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries through each applicable Vesting Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that the Optionee has been in continuous service with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries since the Grant Date through the date of termination of his or her employment or service, (a) the Option shall remain in effect and continue to vest according to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, irrespective of the continuous service limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5, upon the occurrence of (i) the Optionee’s termination of employment by reason of Retirement in Good Standing (as defined in Section 19, below) or (ii) the Optionee’s termination of employment or service by reason of Disability (as defined in Section 19, below), and (b) the Option shall immediately vest upon the occurrence of (i) a “Change in Control Termination” (as defined in Section 19, below) in accordance with Section 4.2(h)(ii) of the Plan or (ii) the Optionee’s termination of employment or service by reason of death.

Exercise Period. The Option will normally terminate on the earlier of (i) the date of the expiration of the Option set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement or (ii) the 90th day after severance of the Optionee’s employment relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary, for any reason, for or without Cause. Whether an authorized leave of absence, or an absence for military or government service, constitutes severance of the Optionee’s employment or service relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary will be determined by the Committee administering the Plan at the time of the event. However, if before the expiration of the Option, the Optionee’s employment relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates as a result of Retirement in Good Standing, Change in Control Termination, or Disability, the Option will remain exercisable in accordance with its terms as if Optionee remained in the employment or service of the Company or a Subsidiary, and in the event of the Optionee’s death while employed by or providing service to the Company or any Subsidiary, the Option may be exercised by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate for up to

Method of Exercise. At the time or times when the Optionee wishes to exercise the Option, the Optionee shall be required to follow the procedures established for doing so, which the Committee may revise from time to time. Notice of exercise of the Option must be accompanied by a payment equal to the applicable Option exercise price plus all Tax-Related Items (as defined below) required to be withheld, collected or accounted for, if any, such amount to be paid in cash or by tendering, either by actual delivery of shares of Stock or by attestation, shares of Stock that are acceptable to the Committee, such shares to be valued at Fair Market Value as of the day the shares are tendered, or paid in any combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Committee. To the extent permitted by applicable law and the policies adopted from time to time by the Committee, the Optionee may elect to pay the exercise price through the contemporaneous sale by a third party broker of shares of Stock acquired upon exercise yielding net sales proceeds equal to the exercise price and any withholding Tax-Related Items required to be withheld, collected or account for and the remission of those sale proceeds to the Company.

No Assignment. No right or interest of the Optionee in the Option may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated or be made subject to any lien, obligation or liability of the Optionee other than as provided in this Section 8. The Option may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Nature of Option. In accepting the Option, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and the Company can amend, modify, suspend, cancel or terminate it at any time, to the extent permitted under the Plan;

this Option and any other awards under the Plan are voluntary and occasional and do not create any contractual or other right to receive future options, awards or benefits in lieu of any options or awards, even if similar options or awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

all determinations with respect to any future options or awards, including, but not limited to, the times when options or awards are made, the amount of the options or awards and other conditions attached to the options or awards, will be at the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Committee;

participation in this Plan or program is voluntary;

the Option and any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan upon exercise of the Option are extraordinary items and do not constitute compensation of any kind (and do not give a right of claim of any kind) for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including, as applicable, the entity employing the Optionee or to which the Optionee provides services, (the “Employer”) and which are outside the scope of the Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any;

this Option, and any income derived therefrom, are not paid in lieu of, and are not intended to replace, any pension rights or compensation and are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, life or accident insurance benefits, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

for the purposes of the Option, unless otherwise specified by the Company or any Affiliated Company, the Optionee’s employment or service will be considered terminated as of the date the Optionee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Subsidiary (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later to be found invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Optionee’s right to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period or period during with the Optionee is in receipt of pay in lieu of such notice or severance pay (e.g., the Optionee’s period of service would not include any contractual, statutory or common law notice period or period during which the Optionee is in the receipt of pay in lieu of such notice or severance pay or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively providing services for the purposes of the Option (including whether the Optionee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);

the future value of the underlying Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the shares of Stock subject to the Option do not increase in value following the Grant Date, the Option will have no value. If the Optionee exercises the Option and obtains the shares of Stock, the value of those shares of Stock acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Option exercise price;

no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from the termination of the Optionee’s employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which the Optionee is otherwise not entitled, the Optionee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Optionee 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;

the Option and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or services contract with the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company, as applicable, to terminate the Optionee’s employment or service relationship (if any). The right of the Company or Employer to terminate at will the Optionee’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved;

if the Optionee is providing services outside the United States, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary nor any Affiliated

in the event of any conflict between communications to the Optionee by the Company of the terms of this Agreement or the records of any third party administrator and the Plan, the Plan will prevail.

Irrespective of any action taken by the Company or the Employer, the Optionee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, social security, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the responsibility of the Optionee or the Optionee’s estate (as applicable) and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Optionee acknowledges and understands that the requirements with respect to the Tax-Related Items may change from time to time as applicable laws or interpretations change.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company, the Employer, and their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items withholding obligations by one or a combination of the following:

withholding from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer, or any other payment of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; or

withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or

retention of or withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value that is sufficient to satisfy the Tax-Related Items.

Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 10(b) of the Agreement, if the Optionee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, the Company will withhold in shares of Stock unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable law or has materially adverse accounting or tax consequences, in which case, the withholding obligation may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods set forth in Section 10(b)(i) and (ii) above.

If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, the Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full amount of Stock subject

In addition, the Optionee shall 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 the Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock, if the Optionee fails to comply with the Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

The Optionee 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 Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the issuance of Stock upon exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents following the issuance of Stock upon the exercise of the Option; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Optionee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Optionee 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.

Notwithstanding any other term of the Agreement or any prior agreement to the contrary, in order to be eligible to benefit from any portion of the Option, the Optionee must have entered into an agreement containing restrictive covenants concerning limitations of the Optionee’s behavior both during employment or service and following termination of employment or service that is satisfactory to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries. In the event the Optionee engages in any action that violates any such restrictive covenants at any time during the term of the Agreement, the Option shall be forfeited. The Optionee further agrees that to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon demand by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, the Optionee will forfeit, return or repay the “Benefits and Proceeds” (as defined below) in the event the Optionee breaches any post-employment or post-service covenant with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Benefits and Proceeds” means:

to the extent the Optionee has received any Stock in satisfaction of this Option and the Optionee continues to hold those shares of Stock, the shares of Stock so acquired;

to the extent the Optionee has received any Stock in satisfaction of this Option and no longer owns the shares of Stock so acquired, cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock on the date such payment is demanded by the Company (which, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, shall be equal to the closing sale price during regular trading hours of the shares of Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on such date); and

to the extent the Optionee has not received any Stock in satisfaction of this Option, all of the Optionee’s remaining rights, title or interest in the Option.

Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Optionee consents and agrees to electronic delivery of any Plan documents, proxy materials, annual reports or other related documents, and to the electronic review, confirmation and acceptance procedures governing this Option. The Optionee consents and agrees that any such electronic procedures may be effected by a third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative services related to the Plan, including any program adopted under the Plan. The Optionee further agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature.
