SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.
The Plan was adopted by the Board on February 4, 2015, and approved by the stockholders of the Company on June 3, 2015. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of restricted shares, Restricted Stock Units, options (which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options), stock appreciation rights or long-term incentive cash-based awards.

(b) “Award” shall mean any award of an Option, a SAR, a Restricted Share or a Restricted Stock Unit under the Plan.
(c) “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company, as constituted from time to time.
(d) “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

(ii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if persons who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization own immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding securities of each of (A) the continuing or surviving entity and (B) any direct or indirect parent corporation of such continuing or surviving entity; or
(iii) The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
For purposes of subsection (d)(ii) above, the term “person” shall have the same meaning as when used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall exclude (1) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary and (2) a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Stock.
Any other provision of this Section 2(d) notwithstanding, a transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction, and a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur if the Company files a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial offering of Stock to the public or if there

The Company determines which leaves count toward Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan. Further, unless otherwise determined by the Company, a Participant’s Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Participant provides Service to the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate, or a transfer between entities (the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate), provided, that there is no interruption or other termination of Service in connection with a change in capacity or transfer between entities.

(oo) “Tax-Related Items” shall mean any federal, state and local taxes and taxes imposed by jurisdictions outside of the United States (including, without limitation, income tax, social insurance contributions, payment on account, employment tax obligations, stamp taxes, any other taxes that may be due) required by law to be withheld and any employer tax liability shifted to a Participant.

Within the limitations of the preceding sentence, any reference in the Plan to the Committee shall include such committee or committees appointed pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Board may also authorize one or more officers of the Company to designate Employees, other than officers under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to receive Awards and/or to determine the number of such Awards to be received by such persons; provided, however, that the Board shall specify the total number of Awards that such officers may so award.

(viii) To amend any outstanding Award agreement, subject to applicable legal restrictions and to the consent of the Participant if the Participant’s rights would be materially impaired or obligations would be materially increased;

All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all Offerees, all Participant, and all persons deriving their rights from an Offeree or Participant. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action that he has taken or has failed to take in good faith with respect to the Plan, any Option, or any right to acquire Shares under the Plan.
SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY.
(a) General Rule. Only Employees shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. Only Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors shall be eligible for the grant of Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Nonstatutory Options or SARs.
(b) Ten-Percent Stockholders. An Employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless such grant satisfies the requirements of Section 422(c)(5) of the Code.
(c) Attribution Rules. For purposes of Section 4(b) above, in determining stock ownership, an Employee shall be deemed to own the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such Employee’s brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed to be owned proportionately by or for its stockholders, partners or beneficiaries.
(d) Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Section 4(b) above, “outstanding stock” shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after the grant. “Outstanding stock” shall not include shares authorized for issuance under outstanding options held by the Employee or by any other person.
SECTION 5. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.
(a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or Shares purchased on the open market. The aggregate number of Shares authorized for issuance as Awards under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares available for issuance as of the date the Plan becomes effective in accordance with Section 19(a) hereof under the Prior Plan (including Shares that are subject to awards outstanding under the Prior Plan that expire, are cancelled or otherwise terminate unexercised, or Shares that otherwise would have reverted to the share reserve of the Prior Plan following the effective date of the Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2016 fiscal year, in an amount equal to the least of (x) 3% of the outstanding shares of all classes of common stock of the Company on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, (y) 6,000,000 Shares, or (z) such number of Shares determined by the Board. The limitations of this Section 5(a) shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11. The number of Shares that are subject to Options or other Awards outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Notwithstanding the above, the aggregate number of shares actually issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of ISOs will not exceed fifteen million (15,000,000) shares.

A-12



(b) Award Limitation. Subject to the provisions of Section 11, no Participant may receive Options or SARs, or Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units that are granted as a Qualifying Performance Award pursuant to Section 17(b) hereof, in any calendar year that relate to more than five million (5,000,000) Shares in the aggregate under all such Awards. For Performance Bonus Awards and other Awards that may be paid in cash and that are intended to be Qualified Performance-Based Compensation, the maximum amount that may be paid in cash to any Participant during any calendar year shall be fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000).
(c) Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares or Shares issued upon the exercise of Options are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Restricted Stock Units, Options or SARs are forfeited or terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then the corresponding Shares shall become available for Awards under the Plan. If Restricted Stock Units are settled, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units shall reduce the number available under Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available in Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan.
(d)    Assumed and Substituted Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under applicable stock exchange rules, Shares issued pursuant to awards assumed or Awards granted in substitution of other awards in connection with the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of an unrelated entity shall not reduce the maximum number of Shares issuable under the above Section 5(a).
SECTION 6. RESTRICTED SHARES.
(a) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
(b) Payment for Awards. Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services.
(c) Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares or thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.
(d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid.
(e) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Restricted Shares shall be subject to such rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal or other restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.

SECTION 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
(a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option

A-13


Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Participant’s other compensation.
(b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11.
(c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms described in Section 8.
(d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Participant shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any obligations for Tax-Related Items for which the Participant is responsible that may arise in connection with the Option. The Participant shall also make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any Tax-Related Items for which the Participant is responsible that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.
(e) Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant (five years for Employees described in Section 4(b)). A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Participant’s death, disability, or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Participant’s Service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(e), the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire.
(f) Exercise of Options. Each Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Participant’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any executors or administrators of the Participant’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Participant by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.
(g) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.
(h) No Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant, or a transferee of a Participant, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of Shares have been recorded in the books of the brokerage firm selected by the Committee or, as applicable, of the Company, its transfer agent, stock plan administrator or such other outside entity which is not a brokerage firm. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 11.
(i) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (to the extent not previously exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different exercise price, or in return for the grant of the same or a different number of Shares. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Participant, materially impair his or her rights or materially increase his or her obligations under such Option.
(j) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.

A-14



(k) Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b) authorize a Participant to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish.
SECTION 8. PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
(a) General Rule. The entire Exercise Price or Purchase Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Section 8(b) through Section 8(g) below.
(b) Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Participant or his representative. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the Plan. The Participant shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.
(c) Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination (at the time of the award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(b).
(d) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.
(e) Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.
(f) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement so provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.
(g) Limitations under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement to the contrary, payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
SECTION 9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
(a) SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Participant’s other compensation.
(b) Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11.
(c) Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price, which shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share on the date of grant.
(d) Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Participant’s service. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be

A-15


exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.
(e) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.
(f) Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.
(g) Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the holder, materially impair his or her rights or materially increase his or her obligations under such SAR.
(h) Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents a SAR previously granted or (b) authorize a Participant to elect to cash out a SAR previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish.
SECTION 10. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS.
(a) Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Restricted Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the recipient’s other compensation.
(b) Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.
(c) Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. A Restricted Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.
(d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Restricted Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Restricted Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions (including without limitation, any forfeiture conditions) as the Restricted Stock Units to which they attach.
(e) Form and Time of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Restricted Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting Restricted Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of

A-16


trading days. Vested Restricted Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Restricted Stock Units is settled, the number of such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11.
(f) Death of Recipient. Any Restricted Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the Participant’s death shall be distributed to the Participant’s estate or as otherwise required under the laws of descent and distribution in the Participant’s country.
(g) Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Restricted Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.
SECTION 11. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.
(a) Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make adjustments in one or more of:
(i) The number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units available for future Awards under Section 5;
(ii) The limitations set forth in Sections 5(a) and (b);
(iii) The number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option and SAR;
(iv) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR; or
(v) The number of Restricted Stock Units included in any prior Award which has not yet been settled.
Any adjustment affecting an Award intended as “Qualified Performance-Based Compensation” shall be made in a manner that does not disqualify the Award. Any adjustment affecting an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in a manner that does not result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code, except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
Except as provided in this Section 11, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. The reclassification of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock into a single class of Common Stock shall not be subject to adjustments under this Section 11, but, for the sake of clarity in accordance with the definition of “Stock” in Section 2, following any such reclassification each Award that formerly covered Class A Common Stock shall cover an equal number of shares of Common Stock.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Restricted Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.
(c) Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement shall provide for:
(i) The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving corporation;
(ii) The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary;
(iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards;
(iv) Acceleration of the expiration date of the outstanding unexercised Awards to a date not earlier than thirty (30) days after notice to the Participant; or

A-17



(v) Settlement of the value of the outstanding Awards which have vested as of the consummation of such merger or other reorganization in cash or cash equivalents; in the sole discretion of the Company, settlement of the value of some or all of the outstanding Awards which have not vested as of the consummation of such merger or other reorganization in cash or cash equivalents on a deferred basis pending vesting; and the cancellation of all vested and unvested Awards as of the consummation of such merger or other reorganization.
(d) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 11, a Participant or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
SECTION 12. DEFERRAL OF AWARDS.
(a) Committee Powers. In a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a Participant to:
(i) Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Restricted Stock Units credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books;
(ii) Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR converted into an equal number of Restricted Stock Units; or
(iii) Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the settlement of Restricted Stock Units converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant.
(b) General Rules. A deferred compensation account established under this Section 12 may be credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under this Section 12.
SECTION 13. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.
The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Shares issued under this Plan. Such Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of Restricted Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Shares available under Section 5.
SECTION 14. PAYMENT OF DIRECTOR’S FEES IN SECURITIES.
(a) Effective Date. No provision of this Section 14 shall be effective unless and until the Board has determined to implement such provision.
(b) Elections to Receive NSOs, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units. An Outside Director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments and/or meeting fees from the Company in the form of cash, NSOs, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board and in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. Such NSOs, Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units shall be issued under the Plan. An election under this Section 14 shall be filed with the Company on the prescribed form.

A-18



(c) Number and Terms of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units. The number of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units to be granted to Outside Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would otherwise be paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The terms of such NSOs, Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units shall also be determined by the Board.
SECTION 15. LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state and/or non-U.S. securities laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed, and the Company has obtained the approval or favorable ruling from any governmental agency which the Company determines is necessary or advisable. The Company shall not be liable to a Participant or other persons as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares under the Plan; and (b) any tax consequences expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Award granted under the Plan.
SECTION 16. WITHHOLDING TAXES; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE.
(a) General. The Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have the authority and right to deduct or withhold or to require a Participant to remit to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, as applicable, an amount sufficient to satisfy Tax-Related Items with respect to any taxable or tax withholding event concerning a Participant arising in connection with the Participant’s participation in the Plan or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, as appropriate, to satisfy withholding obligations for the payment of Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation; (ii) withholding from the proceeds of sale of Shares underlying the Award either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company on the Participant’s behalf, without need of further authorization; or (iii) in the Committee’s sole discretion, in accordance with Section 16(b). The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan to the Participant or any other person until arrangements acceptable to the Company are made by the Participant or such other person to satisfy the obligations for Tax-Related Items with respect to any taxable or tax withholding event concerning the Participant or such other person as a result of the Plan.
(b) Share Withholding. The Committee may, or may permit a Participant to elect to, satisfy all or part of the Participant’s obligations with respect to Tax-Related Items by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date that the amount sufficient to satisfy Tax-Related Items is to be determined. In no event may a Participant have Shares withheld that would otherwise be issued to him or her in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the legally required minimum tax withholding or other applicable minimum withholding rate.
(c) Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that a Participant is or may be subject to taxation under the laws of the United States or any political division thereof, the following provisions shall apply:
(i) To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any Awards hereunder comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Participants, and the Plan and Awards hereunder will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. This Plan and any Awards hereunder shall be designed and administered in such a manner that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the Code, except as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(ii) Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any Awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company or any of its affiliates.

A-19



(iii) If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (A) the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (B) the Company determines that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay it, without interest, on the first business day of the seventh month after such six-month period.
(iv) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Plan (including with retroactive effect) and Awards as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code (or to mitigate adverse tax consequences if compliance is not practicable). In any case, a Participant shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with this Plan and Awards (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant or any other party harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.
SECTION 17. OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS.
(a) Transferability. Unless the agreement evidencing an Award (or an amendment thereto authorized by the Committee) expressly provides otherwise, no Award granted under this Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner (prior to the vesting and lapse of any and all restrictions applicable to Shares issued under such Award), other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that an ISO may be transferred or assigned only to the extent consistent with Section 422 of the Code. Any purported assignment, transfer or encumbrance in violation of this Section 17(a) shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.
(b) Qualifying Performance Awards. For purposes of granting Awards (other than Option or SARs) that are intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation, the number of Shares or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award may be made subject to the attainment of Qualifying Performance Goals during a Qualifying Performance Period relating to one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria. The Committee in an Award, or after the Award is granted (to the extent consistent with, and within the time prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code if applicable), may provide for the adjustment or modification of any evaluation of performance under a Qualifying Performance Goal to exclude any objective and measurable events specified in the Award, including but not limited to any of the following events that occurs, or is anticipated to occur, during a Qualifying Performance Period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs, (v) acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs, (vi) stock-based compensation charges, (vii) purchase-accounting related charges, including amortization of intangible purchased assets, acquired in-process research and development charges, and similar charges associated with purchase accounting, (viii) any extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 or other applicable accounting principles, and (ix) the related tax effects associated with each of the adjustments listed in clauses (i) through (viii) above. If applicable, the Committee shall, not later than the 90th day of the Qualifying Performance Period (or such other period prescribed or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), establish the Performance Goals and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned during such Qualifying Performance Period. The Committee shall determine and certify, for each Participant, the extent to which the Qualifying Performance Goals have been met. The Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but may not in any event increase) the amount of compensation payable under the Plan to a Covered Employee at a given performance level to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of whether Qualifying Performance Goals are achieved. A Participant shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Qualifying Performance Award only if the Qualifying Performance Goals for such period are achieved, subject to any additional requirements regarding Service. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award granted to a Covered Employee shall be subject to any additional limitations applicable to Qualified Performance-Based Compensation, and the Plan and any applicable agreement containing additional terms

A-20


and conditions governing the Award shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.
(c) Performance Bonus Awards. Any Covered Employee selected by the Committee may be granted one or more Performance-Based Awards in the form of a cash bonus (a “Performance Bonus Award”) payable upon the attainment of Qualified Performance Goals that are established by the Committee and relate to one or more of the Qualified Performance Criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Committee.
(d) Clawback/Recovery. All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law. In addition, the Plan Administrator may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions on an Award as the Plan Administrator determines necessary or appropriate, including, but not limited to, a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired Shares or other cash or property upon the occurrence of cause (as determined by the Committee).
SECTION 18. NO EMPLOYMENT OR CONTINUED SERVICE RIGHTS.
No provision of the Plan, nor any Award granted under the Plan, shall be construed to give any Participant any right to become, to be treated as, or to remain an Employee or continue providing Service if the Participant is a Consultant. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate any person’s Service at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, to the extent permitted by applicable laws.
SECTION 19. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS.
(a) Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company, and shall terminate automatically, on February 4, 2025, and may be terminated on any earlier date pursuant to Subsection (b) below. No Award may be granted after the date the Plan is terminated and no ISO may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, but any Awards that are outstanding on the date the Plan terminates shall remain in force according to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award agreement.
(b) Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. The Board may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time. Rights and obligations under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be materially impaired by such amendment, except with consent of the Participant unless such amendment is deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to facilitate compliance with applicable law or as contemplated under Section 16(c). An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders only to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules.
(c) Effect of Termination. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the termination thereof. The termination of the Plan shall not affect Awards previously granted under the Plan.
SECTION 20. SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of the Plan or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Plan and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances shall not be affected, and the provisions so held to be unenforceable shall be reformed to the extent (and to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable and valid.
SECTION 21. GOVERNING LAW.
The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any principle of law that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

SUNPOWER CORPORATION 2015 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

1.Grant. Pursuant to the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units or the Notice of Grant of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (the “Notice of Grant”) to which this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including the Appendix (together, the “Agreement”) is attached, SunPower Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to Grantee the right to receive the number of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) or Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) under the SunPower Corporation 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), as set forth in the Notice of Grant. In addition, if Notice of Grant relates to PSUs, all references to RSUs in this Agreement shall mean PSUs.
2.Payment of RSUs. The RSUs covered by this Agreement shall become payable to Grantee if and when they become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3 (Vesting Schedule) hereof.
3.Vesting Schedule. Subject to Section 4 (Termination of Service), Grantee’s right to receive Shares subject to the RSUs awarded by this Agreement will vest in Grantee according to the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant and/or the Vesting Summary set forth online through the Company’s designated broker.
4.Termination of Service. Except as otherwise provided in the Notice of Grant:
(a)If Grantee terminates Service with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate that is Grantee’s employer (the “Employer”) for any or no reason (other than due to death or Total and Permanent Disability or as otherwise provided in the Plan) prior to vesting, the unvested RSUs awarded by this Agreement will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company and without any consideration to Grantee. The date on which Service terminates shall not be extended by any notice period required to be given under local law (e.g., Service would not include a period of “garden leave”); such termination date will be considered to be the last date of active employment.
(b)If Grantee terminates Service with the Company or the Employer due to death or Total and Permanent Disability, all unvested RSUs will vest in full as of the termination date due to death or Total and Permanent Disability, unless otherwise provided in the Notice of Grant.
5.Leaves of Absence. Grantee’s Service will not terminate and Grantee’s vesting will continue unaffected for up to 90 days, provided:
(a)Grantee is on a personal leave of absence, which has been approved in writing by the Company or the Employer; or
 
(b)
Grantee is on a bona fide leave of absence for which Grantee is entitled to continued service crediting as a matter of law or under the terms of a contract.
In all other circumstances, the Committee may suspend the vesting of the RSUs, according to its policy and procedures for such leaves of absences. Further, if Grantee does not return to active Service following a leave of absence in keeping with (a) or (b) above, Grantee will have terminated his or her employment and vesting will cease.
6.Form and Time of Payment of RSUs. Except as otherwise provided for in Section 9 (Adjustments), payment for the RSUs shall be made in form of whole Shares at the time they become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3 (Vesting Schedule) hereof, or as soon as practicable thereafter, but with regard to U.S. taxpayers, in any event, within the period ending on the later to occur of the date that is 2½ months within the period ending on the later to occur of the end of (i) U.S. taxpayers’ tax year that includes the date of vesting, or (ii) the Company’s tax year that includes the applicable date of vesting.
7.No Dividend Equivalents. Grantee shall not be entitled to dividend equivalents.
8.Grant is Not Transferable. Subject to the provisions of Section 10(f) of the Plan regarding the designation of beneficiaries, neither the RSUs granted hereby nor any interest therein or in the Shares related thereto shall be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution prior to payment of the RSUs.
9.Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Stock or other capitalization adjustment contemplated in Section 11(a) of the Plan, the number of RSUs subject to this Agreement shall be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.
10.Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. For U.S. taxpayers, it is intended that the vesting and the payments of RSUs set forth in this Agreement shall qualify for exemption


Restricted Stock Unit Agreement - -1


from the application of Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that all vesting and/or payments provided under this Agreement are made in a manner that qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation that the vesting or payments of RSUs provided under this Agreement will be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to the vesting and/or payment of RSUs provided under this Agreement.
11.No Service Contract. The grant of the RSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past. The RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of, 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.
12.Retention Rights. Neither the Award nor this Agreement gives Grantee the right to be retained by the Company, the Employer, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate in any capacity. The Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, the Employer, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Company or the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or the Employer to terminate Grantee’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time with or without cause.
13.Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, Grantee 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 as set forth in the Plan;
(b)all decisions with respect to future RSU grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(c)Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(d)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(e)the RSUs and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability;
(f)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSU and the Shares subject to the RSU, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service Grantee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary or Affiliate;
 
(g)the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, and are outside the scope of Grantee’s service or employment contract, if any;
(h)the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation
(i)for Grantees who reside outside the U.S., the following additional provisions shall apply:
(i)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from termination of Grantee’s Service with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of the grant of the RSUs to which Grantee is otherwise not entitled, Grantee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waive his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company and the Employer 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, Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims;
(ii)in the event of termination of Grantee’s Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Grantee’s right to vest in the RSUs, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Grantee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Grantee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the RSUs;
(iii)Grantee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Grantees local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to Grantee pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting; and
(iv)the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose.
14.Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company at 10801 N. MoPac Expressway, Building 3 Floor 5, Austin, Texas 78759 U.S.A., Attn: Stock Plans Dept, or at


Restricted Stock Unit Agreement - -2


such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing or electronically.
15.Taxes and Withholding.
(a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer, if different, takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Grantee further acknowledges 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 RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the issuance of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, Grantee 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, Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Tax-Related Items withholding obligation shall be satisfied by the retention by the Company of Shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to this award; provided, however, that the Shares retained for payment of the Tax-Related Items must satisfy the minimum tax withholding amount permissible under the method that results in the least amount withheld. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
(c)In the alternative and subject to the Committee’s authorization, Grantee agrees that the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, may satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i)withholding from Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Grantee by the Company, the Employer and/or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; or
(ii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization).
(d)Grantee 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 Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means described in this Section.
 
16.Plan Governs. This Agreement and the Notice of Grant are subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.
17.Committee Authority. The Committee will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any RSUs have vested and when Grantee is no longer actively employed for purposes of Grantee’s RSU grant). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon Grantee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.
18.Data Privacy Notice and Consents. This Section 18 (Data Privacy Notice and Consent) applies only if Grantee resides outside the U.S. If Grantee resides outside the U.S., then Grantee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Grantee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
Grantee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Grantee, including, but not limited to, Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Grantee’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
Grantee understands that Data will be transferred to Charles Schwab and any other third party assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.


Restricted Stock Unit Agreement - -3


Grantee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Grantee’s country. Grantee understands that Grantee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Grantee’s local human resources representative. Grantee authorizes the Company, Charles Schwab and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in the Plan. Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Grantee’s participation in the Plan. Grantee understands that Grantee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Grantee’s local human resources representative. Grantee understands that Grantee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis and that if Grantee does not consent, or if Grantee later seeks to revoke consent, Grantee’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected. Grantee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing Grantee’s consent may affect Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Grantee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Grantee understands that Grantee may contact Grantee’s local human resources representative.
19.Amendments. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the rights of Grantee in a material way under this Agreement without Grantee’s consent.
20.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances shall not be affected, and the provisions so held to be invalid or unenforceable shall be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable and valid.
21.Successors and Assigns. Without limiting Section 8 (Grant is Not Transferable) hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns of Grantee, and the successors and assigns of the Company.
22.Governing Law & Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any principle of law that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of California, and agree that such litigation will be conducted in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this Agreement is made and/or to be performed.
 
23.No Advice Regarding Award. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the company making any recommendation regarding Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or the acquisition or sale of underlying Shares. Grantee is advised to consult with his or her personal tax, legal, and financial advisors regarding the decision to participate in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
24.Electronic Delivery and Participation. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
25.Language. If Grantee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
26.Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the RSU grant shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for Grantee’s country of residence, if any, as set forth in the Appendix to this Agreement. Moreover, if Grantee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Grantee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. This Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
27.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
28.Waiver. Grantee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of the Agreement shall not


Restricted Stock Unit Agreement - -4


operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of the Agreement or of any subsequent breach by Grantee or any other grantee.
29.Insider Trading Restrictions / Market Abuse Laws. Grantee acknowledges that, depending on his or her country of residence, Grantee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect Grantee’s ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) under the Plan during such times as Grantee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in Grantee’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. Grantee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Grantee is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

APPENDIX
(FOR GRANTEES OUTSIDE THE U.S.)


This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) granted to Grantee if Grantee resides in one of the countries listed herein. This Appendix forms part of the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”).

This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Grantee should be aware with respect to Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2015. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Grantee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time Grantee vests in the RSUs or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

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

Finally, Grantee understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Grantee is currently working, transfers employment after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to Grantee, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply.

Termination of Employment. The following provision replaces Section 4 of the Agreement:
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant, if Grantee terminates Service with the Company for any or no reason prior to vesting (whether or not in breach of local labor laws or whether or not later found to be invalid), Grantee’s right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that is the earlier of (i) the date on which Grantee receives a notice of termination of employment from the Company or the Employer, or (ii) the date on which Grantee is no longer actively employed, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Grantee is no longer employed for purposes of the RSUs.

The form T1135 must be filed by April 30 of the following year. Grantee is advised to consult with a personal advisor to ensure that Grantee complies with the applicable requirements.

CHILE - Notifications

Grantee must comply with the exchange control and tax reporting requirements in Chile when sending funds into the country in connection with the sale of Shares pursuant to the Plan, or the receipt of any dividends paid on the Shares, and register any investments with the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (the “CIRS”).

Grantee is not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of Shares or the receipt of any dividends. However, if Grantee decides to repatriate such funds, he or she must do so through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office) if the funds exceed US$10,000. In such case, Grantee must report the payment to a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office receiving the funds. If Grantee does not repatriate the funds and uses such funds for the payment of other obligations contemplated under a different Chapter of the Foreign Exchange Regulations, Grantee must sign Annex 1 of the Manual of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations and file it directly with the Central Bank within the first 10 days of the month immediately following the transaction.

If Grantee’s aggregated investments held outside Chile exceed US$5,000,000 (including the Shares or cash proceeds received under the Plan), he or she must report the investments quarterly to the Central Bank. Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations must be used to file this report.

Please note that exchange control regulations in Chile are subject to change. Grantee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that Grantee may have prior to vesting in the RSUs or receiving proceeds from the sale of Shares, or the receipt of any dividends paid on the Shares.

SPAIN

Terms and Conditions

Labor Law Acknowledgement. The following provision supplements Section 13 (Nature of Grant) of the Agreement:

In accepting the RSUs, Grantee consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan and the Agreement. Grantee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, upon termination of Grantee’s Service for any reason (except due to death and Total and Permanent Disability) prior to the vesting date will automatically result in the loss of the unvested RSUs that may have been granted to Grantee. In particular, Grantee understands and agrees that any unvested RSUs shall be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination of Grantee’s Service, including, but not limited to: resignation, 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.

Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to eligible Employees, Consultants, or Outside Directors throughout the world. The decision is limited and entered into based upon the express assumption and condition that any RSUs will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, including the Employer, on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, Grantee understands that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs shall not become part of any employment contract (whether with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, including the Employer) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Furthermore, Grantee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from the grant of the RSUs, which is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the RSUs and the underlying Shares is unknown and unpredictable. Grantee also understands that the grant of the RSUs would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Grantee understands, acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the
 
assumptions be mistaken or any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the RSUs and any right to the underlying Shares shall be null and void.

Notifications

Exchange Control Notification. To participate in the Plan, Grantee must comply with exchange control regulations in Spain. The acquisition and sale of Shares must be declared for statistical purposes to the Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”) of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, and Grantee also must declare the ownership of any Shares with the DGCI. Because Grantee will not purchase or sell the Shares through the use of a Spanish financial institution, Grantee must make the declaration him- or herself by filing a D-6 form with the DGCI. Generally, the D-6 form must be filed each January while the Shares are owned or to report the sale of Shares.

When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of Shares (i.e., dividends or sale proceeds) exceeding €50,000, Grantee must inform the financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made. Grantee will need to provide the institution with the following information: (i) Grantee’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) any further information that may be required.

Securities Law Notification. No “offer of securities to the public”, as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory with respect to the RSUs. No public offering prospectus has been, nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission) (“CNMV”). Neither the Plan nor the Agreement constitute a public offering prospectus and they have not been, nor will they be, registered with the CNMV.

Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Requirement.  Effective January 1, 2013, Grantee is required to declare electronically to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the Shares held in such accounts if the value of the transactions during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceed €1,000,000.
Further, to the extent that Grantee holds Shares and/or has bank accounts outside Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 (for each type of asset) as of December 31 each year, Grantee will be required to report information on such assets on Grantee’s tax return (tax form 720) for such year.  After such rights are assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported asset increases by more than €20,000.

The reporting must be completed by March 31. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement may result in penalties to Grantee.

Accordingly, Grantee is advised to consult with his or her personal tax and legal advisors to ensure that this new reporting requirement is properly complied with.

Grantee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”), it will 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 15 of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee 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), Grantee shall not be eligible for a loan from the Company to cover the taxes due. In the event that Grantee is a director or executive officer and taxes are not collected from or paid by Grantee by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected taxes may constitute a benefit to Grantee on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) (including Employer NICs, as defined below) may be payable. Grantee understands that he or she will be responsible for reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Company or the Employer, as applicable, for the value of any NICs due on this additional benefit, which Grantee agrees the Company or the Employer, as applicable, may recover from Grantee by any means referred to in Section 15 of the Agreement.

Payable Only in Shares. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan, the grant of RSUs does not provide any right for Grantee to receive a cash payment, and the RSUs are payable only in Shares.

Joint Election for Transfer of the Employer’s Secondary Class 1 NICs Liability to Grantee. As a condition of participation in the Plan and the vesting of the RSUs, Grantee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs which may be payable by the
 
Company and/or the Employer in connection with the RSUs and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer NICs”). Without limitation to the foregoing, Grantee agrees to enter into an election between himself/herself and the Company or the Employer in the form approved by HMRC (the “Joint Election”) and any other consent or election required to accomplish the transfer of Employer NICs to Grantee. Grantee understands that the Joint Election applies to any RSUs granted to him/her under the Plan after the execution of the Joint Election. Grantee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between him/her and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer. Grantee further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs from him or her by any of the means set forth in Section 15 of the Agreement.

If Grantee does not enter into a Joint Election prior to vesting of the RSUs, he/she will not be entitled to vest in the RSUs unless and until he/she enters into a Joint Election and no Shares will be issued to Grantee under the Plan, without any liability to the Company and/or the Employer.
