APPENDIX A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

1. Award. The Company hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan an award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement (including Exhibit A hereto), the attached Notice of Award and the Plan. If and when any Restricted Stock Units are paid to the Employee, par value for the Shares issued will be deemed paid by the Employee by past services rendered by the Employee.

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit has a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date it becomes vested. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in paragraphs 3 and 4, the Employee will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units will be made in whole Shares only.

3. Vesting Schedule. Subject to paragraphs 4 and 5, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement and the attached Notice of Award will vest in the Employee according to the vesting schedule set forth on the attached Notice of Award, subject to the Employee continuing to be a Service Provider through each such vesting date.

4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. If the Administrator, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units, the payment of such accelerated amount nevertheless shall be made at the same time or times as if such Restricted Stock Units had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the attached Notice of Award (whether or not the Employee remains employed by the Company or a Subsidiary as of such date(s)).

5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Continuous Service. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the attached Notice of Award, if the Employee ceases to be a Service Provider for any or no reason, the then-unvested Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement and the attached Notice of Award will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company and the Employee will have no further rights thereunder.

6. Payment after Vesting. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with paragraph 3 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares as soon as administratively practicable after vesting, subject to paragraph 8 and the other provisions of this Agreement. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with paragraph 4 will be paid to the Employee at the time(s) provided in paragraph 4, subject to paragraph 8 and the other provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with the Change of Control Vesting Schedule will be paid to the Employee at the same time or times as if such Restricted Stock Units had vested in accordance with the Original Vesting Schedule.

7. Payments after Death. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Employee under this Agreement will, if the Employee is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of the Employee’s estate. Any such administrator or executor must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

8. Withholding of Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or the Employee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including foreign, federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related Items legally due by the Employee is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including the award of Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares in settlement of Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax Related Items.

Prior to the issuance of Shares upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units, the Employee shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, the Employee authorizes the Company or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax Related Items legally payable by the Employee from the Employee’s wages or other cash compensation payable to the Employee by the Company or the Employer. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company or the Employer may, in their sole discretion, (i) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares to be issued on the vesting of Restricted Stock Units to satisfy the withholding or payment on account obligation, and/or (ii) withhold in Shares, provided that the Company and the Employer shall withhold only the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. The Employee shall pay to the Company or to the Employer any amount of Tax Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Employee’s receipt of Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units, or the issuance of Shares in settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver Shares to the Employee if the Employee fails to comply with the Employee’s obligation in connection with the Tax Related Items as described herein.

9. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

10. No Effect on Employment. The terms of the Employee’s employment with his or her Employer are governed by applicable local law and any relevant employment agreement. This Agreement and the attached Notice of Award do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment for any period of time. The Employee may terminate his or her employment and the Employer may terminate the Employee’s employment in accordance with applicable local law and any relevant employment agreement.

11. Acknowledgment of Nature of Award. In accepting the award of Restricted Stock Units, the Employee acknowledges that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan;

(b) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d) the Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(e) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or to the Employer, and Restricted Stock Units are outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any;

(f) Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(g) neither the award of Restricted Stock Units nor any provision of this Agreement, the attached Notice of Award, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon the Employee any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment, and in the event that the Employee is not an employee of the Company, Restricted Stock Units shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company;

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

(i) if the Employee receives Shares, the value of such Shares acquired on vesting of Restricted Stock Units may increase or decrease in value;

(j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of Restricted Stock Units, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from any diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or Shares received upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of the Employee’s employment by the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and

 

5


the Employee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing the attached Notice of Award, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim; and

(k) in the event of involuntary termination of the Employee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to receive Restricted Stock Units and vest under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to receive Shares pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Employee’s active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the award of Restricted Stock Units.

Tampoco establece derecho alguno entre el Opcionante y su empleador.

English Translation. The invitation the Company is making under the Plan is unilateral and discretionary and, therefore, the Company reserves the absolute right to amend it and discontinue it at any time without any liability to the Employee. This invitation and, in Employee’s case, the acquisition of Shares does not, in any way, establish a labor relationship between the Employee and the Company and it does not establish any rights between the Employee and the Employer.

This Agreement, the Plan and all other materials Employee may receive regarding his or her participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia. The issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan has not and will not be registered in Russia and hence the securities described in any Plan-related documents may not be used for offering or public circulation in Russia.

All proceeds from the sale of Shares must be repatriated to Russia through an authorized bank in Russia. After repatriation, Employee may transfer the funds to an “offshore” (foreign) bank account outside of Russia, but must give notice to the Russian tax authorities about the opening/closing of each foreign account within one month after the account is opened/closed and report to the Russian tax authorities records of the flow of funds in the foreign accounts as well as records of the account balances.

Spain

In accepting the Restricted Stock Unit award, the Employee acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan. The Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any award will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Employee understands that the award is granted on the assumption and condition that the award or the Shares acquired pursuant to the award shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Employee understands that this award would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Employee 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 any award of Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void.

To participate in the Plan, the Employee must comply with exchange control regulations in Spain. The acquisition of Shares under the Plan must be declared for statistical purposes to the Spanish Dirección General de Política Comercial e Inversiones Exteriores (the “DGPCIE”), the Bureau for Commercial Policy and Foreign Investments, which is a department of the Ministry of the Economy. The Employee must make the declaration himself or herself by filing a form with the DGPCIE. When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of Shares (i.e., dividends or sale proceeds), the Employee must inform the financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made. The Employee will need to provide the institution with the following information: (i) the Employee’s name, address, and fiscal identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of the Company; (iii) the amount of the payment; (iv) the currency used; (v) the country of origin; (vi) the reasons for the payment; and (vii) further information that may be required. If the Employee acquires Shares under the Plan and wishes to import the ownership title of such Shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, the Employee must declare the importation of such securities to the DGPCIE.
