APPENDIX A - TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT

FOR NON-U.S. EMPLOYEES

     1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated on the first page of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, this Appendix A, any special terms and conditions for the Employee’s country set forth in Appendix B and the Plan. When Shares are paid to the Employee in payment for the Restricted Stock Units, par value will be deemed paid by the Employee for each Restricted Stock Unit by past services rendered by the Employee and will be subject to the appropriate tax withholdings.

     2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. On any date, a Restricted Stock Unit has a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the first page of this Agreement, the Employee will have no right to payment of the Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock Units represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

     3. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in paragraph 4, and subject to paragraph 5, the Restricted Stock Units subject to this grant will vest as to the number of Restricted Stock Units, and on the dates shown, on the first page of this Agreement, but in each case, only if the Employee’s status as a Service Provider has not been interrupted.

     4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all or a portion 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 been earned (vested) as of the date specified by the Administrator. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated in connection with the interruption of the Employee’s status as a Service Provider (provided that such interruption is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A), as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if (x) the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such interruption and (y) the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Employee on or within the six (6) month period following Employee’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then the payment of such accelerated Restricted Stock Units will not be made until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of such separation, unless the Employee dies during such six (6) month period, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid to the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 8. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units provided under this Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and the Employee will cooperate diligently to amend the terms of this Agreement to avoid the imposition of any taxes or penalties under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will the Company be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses incurred by the Employee due under Section 409A or any other law or regulation. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

     5. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested pursuant to paragraphs 3 or 4 will be forfeited and cancelled automatically on the first to occur of (a) the date the Employee’s status as a Service Provider is interrupted or (b) the Termination Date set forth on the first page of this Agreement.

     6. Payment after Vesting. Subject to paragraph 4, Restricted Stock Units that vest will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares (which may be in electronic form) as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, but in each such case no later than the date that is two-and-one-half months from the end of the Company’s tax year that includes the vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and if permitted by the Administrator, the Employee may elect to defer the payout of vested Restricted Stock Units by properly completing and submitting a Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Election to the Company in accordance with the directions on the Election form and such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, which rules and procedures shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A, unless otherwise expressly determined by the Administrator.

     7. Death of the Employee. 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 transferee 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, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Employee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount to be withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Employee 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 Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee 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.

     If any tax withholding is required when Shares are issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock Units or, in the discretion of the Company, at such earlier time as the Tax Obligations (defined below) are due, the Company (or, the employing Subsidiary), will withhold a portion of the Shares that has an aggregate market value sufficient to pay all taxes and social insurance liability and other requirements in connection with the Shares, including, without limitation, (a) all federal, state and local income, employment and any other applicable taxes that are required to be withheld by the Company or the employing Subsidiary, (b) the Employee’s and, to the extent required by the Company (or the employing Subsidiary), the Company’s (or the employing Subsidiary’s) fringe benefit tax liability, if any, associated with the grant, vesting, or sale of the Restricted Stock Units awarded and the Shares issued thereunder, and (c) all other taxes or social insurance liabilities with respect to which the Employee has agreed to bear responsibility (collectively, the “Tax Obligations”). The number of Shares withheld pursuant to the prior sentence will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with no refund provided in the U.S. for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the Tax Obligations as a result of such rounding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, may require the Employee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such Tax Obligations in advance of the arising of any Tax Obligations.

     Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be issued unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any Tax Obligations that the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Shares. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) has the right to retain without notice from any fees, salary or other amounts payable to the Employee, cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any Tax Obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares or that are due prior to the issuance of Shares under the Restricted Stock Units award. All Tax Obligations related to the Restricted Stock Units award and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Employee.

     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 have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee. Except as provided in paragraph 12, 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. Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Employee acknowledges 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;

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

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

          (d) the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment relationship at any time;

          (e) the Employee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

          (f) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the 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 the Employer, and which is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any;

          (g) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or affiliate;

          (h) the Restricted Stock Unit grant and the Employee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;

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

          (j) in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of the Employee's status as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and 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, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim;

          (k) in the event of termination of the Employee's status as a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units 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); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Restricted Stock Unit grant; and

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

     11. No Advice Regarding Grant.

          (a) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan, or the Employee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares; and

          (b) the Employee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

     12. Changes in Shares. In the event that as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, combination of Shares or the adjustment in capital stock of the Company or otherwise, or as a result of a merger, consolidation, spin-off or other reorganization, the Restricted Stock Units will be increased, reduced or otherwise changed, and by virtue of any such change the Employee will in his capacity as owner of unvested Restricted Stock Units which have been awarded to him (the “Prior Units”) be entitled to new or additional or different restricted stock units, cash, or securities (other than rights or warrants to purchase securities), such new or additional or different restricted stock units, cash, or securities will thereupon be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock Units and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Units pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. If the Employee receives rights or warrants with respect to any Prior Units, such rights or warrants may be held or exercised by the Employee, provided that until such exercise any such rights or warrants and after such exercise any shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants will be considered to be unvested Restricted Stock Units and will be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Prior Units pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement.

APPENDIX B – COUNTRY- SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Appendix B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to the Employee if the Employee resides in one of the countries listed herein.

In addition, this Exhibit B may also include information regarding certain other issues of which the Employee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, income tax and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2012. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Employee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Employee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Employee vests in Restricted Stock Units or sells Shares acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Employee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Employee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Employee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Employee’s country may apply to his or her situation.

Finally, if the Employee is a citizen or resident of a country, or is considered resident of a country, other than the one in which the Employee is currently working or transfers employment after the Restricted Stock Units are granted but prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Employee. The Company shall in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply.

Based on the foregoing, the Employee expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that the Employee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Employee and the Employee’s employer; do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Employee’s employer; and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Employee’s employment.

Finally, the Employee hereby declares that the Employee does not reserve any action or right to bring any claim against the Company for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and the Employee therefore grants a full and broad release to the Company and its Subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, officers, agents or legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.

Netherlands

Insider Trading Restrictions. The Employee should be aware of Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the ability to sell Shares acquired under the Plan. In particular, the Employee may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if the Employee has insider information regarding the Company.

By accepting any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder and participating in the Plan, the Employee acknowledges having read and understood this Securities Law Information notice and further acknowledges that it is the Employee’s responsibility for complying with the following Dutch insider trading rules:

Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has “inside information” related to the issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of specific information concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate or the trade in securities issued by such company, which has not been made public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be any employee of a Subsidiary or affiliate in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when in possession of such inside information.

Russia

Exchange Control Information. Exchange control laws require Employees resident in Russia who sell Shares or receive dividends on such Shares to repatriate the proceeds to Russia within a reasonably short time. Such proceeds must initially be credited to the Employee through a foreign currency account opened in the Employee’s name at an authorized bank in Russia. After the funds are initially received in Russia, they may be further remitted to a foreign bank subject to the following limitations: (i) the foreign account may be opened only for individuals; (ii) the foreign account may not be used for business activities; (iii) the Russian authorities must be given notice of the opening/closing of each foreign account within one month of the account opening/closing; and (iv) the Russian tax authorities must be given notice of the account balances of such foreign accounts as of the beginning of each calendar year. The Employee is encouraged to contact the Employee’s personal advisor before remitting proceeds from participation in the Plan to Russia as exchange control requirements may change.

Securities Law Information. The Agreement, including Appendix A and Appendix B, the Plan and all other materials that the Employee may receive regarding 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; hence, the securities described in any Plan-related documents may not be used for offering or public circulation in Russia.

When the Employee acquires Shares upon vesting, the Shares will be held for the Employee in a U.S. brokerage account. The Employee will not be permitted to request share certificates and hold the certificates in Russia. The Employee may sell his or her Shares on a U.S. stock market, but is not permitted to sell shares in the Company directly to other Russian individuals.

Labor Law Information. If the Employee continues to hold Shares after an involuntary termination of the Employee’s employment, the Employee will not be eligible to receive unemployment benefits in Russia.

Singapore

Securities Law Information. The Restricted Stock Units are being granted pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Singapore Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The Employee should note that such Restricted Stock Units are subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Employee will not be able to make any subsequent sale in Singapore, or any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless such sale or offer in Singapore is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.).

Director Notification. If the Employee is a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singapore Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, the Employee is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singapore Subsidiary or affiliate in writing when the Employee receives an interest (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) in the Company or any related companies. In addition, the Employee must notify the Singapore Subsidiary or affiliate when the Employee sells Shares of the Company or any related company (including when the Employee sells Shares acquired under the Plan). These notifications must be made within two days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company. In addition, a notification must be made of the Employee’s interests in the Company or any related company within two days of becoming a director, associate director or shadow director.

Insider Trading Restrictions. The Employee should be aware of the Singapore insider trading rules, which may impact the acquisition or disposal of the Shares received pursuant to the Plan. Under the Singapore insider trading rules, the Employee is prohibited from selling Shares of the Company when he or she is in possession of information which is not generally available and which he or she knows or should know will have a material effect on the price of the Shares once such information is generally available.

Spain

Labor Law Information. In accepting the 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 or affiliates 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 or affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Employee understands that the Restricted Stock Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates) 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 this award shall be null and void.

Unless otherwise provided by the Plan, the Employee understands and agrees that the termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason will automatically result in the forfeiture of unvested Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Agreement. In particular, the Employee understands and agrees that, unless otherwise expressly provided for by the Company, vesting of the Restricted Stock Units will end if the Employee terminates employment by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, 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, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.

Exchange Control Information. If the Employee acquires Shares under the Plan, the Employee must declare the acquisition to the Direccion General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”). If the Employee acquires the Shares through the use of a Spanish financial institution, the institution will make the declaration to the DGCI for the Employee; otherwise, the Employee is required to make the declaration by filing a D-6 Form. The Employee must also declare ownership of any Shares with the DGCI every January while the Shares are owned.

When receiving foreign currency payments exceeding €50,000 derived from the ownership of Shares (i.e., sale proceeds or dividends), 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 and the currency used; (iv) the country of origin; (v) the reasons for the payment; and (vi) further information that may be required.

Securities Law Information. The Restricted Stock Units and the Shares described in the Agreement do not qualify under Spanish regulations as securities. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. 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.

United Kingdom

Withholding of Taxes. This provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement:

If payment or withholding of the income tax due is not made within ninety (90) days of the event giving rise to the income tax or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax shall constitute a loan owed by the Employee to the Employer, effective as of the Due Date. The Employee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”), it shall be immediately due and repayable, and the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 8 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she shall not be eligible for a loan from the Company to cover the income tax. In the event that the Employee is a director or executive officer and income tax is not collected from or paid by him or her by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) will be payable. The Employee 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 reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of the employee and employer NICs due on this additional benefit.
