Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as assigned to them in the Plan. The applicable terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

1. Grant of Units. The Committee hereby grants you that number of Deferred Stock Units as set forth in this Agreement (the “Units”). Each Unit represents the Company's commitment to issue to you one share of Stock subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. This Award is granted pursuant to and is subject to the provisions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Addendum.

2. Vesting. The Units shall vest and shares of Stock will be issued to you according to the vesting schedule set forth in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 below, the Units will vest, subject to the conditions described in Section 7 below, in approximately equal annual installments on each of the five (5) consecutive anniversaries of the Grant Date, beginning on the first anniversary of the Grant Date. No shares of Stock shall otherwise be issued to you prior to the date on which the Units vest. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Units in the form of a cash payment to the extent that settlement in shares of Stock is prohibited under local law or would require the Company and/or any of its Affiliates to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence (or country of employment, if different). Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Units in the form of shares of Stock but require you to immediately sell such Stock (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on your behalf).

3. Participant's Rights in Stock. The shares of Stock, if and when issued to you pursuant to this Agreement, shall be registered in your name and evidenced in a manner as determined by the Company, in its sole discretion. Under no circumstance will you be deemed, by virtue of the granting of the Units, to be a holder of any shares of Stock underlying the Units or be entitled to the rights or privileges of a holder of such shares of Stock (including the right to receive dividends or vote the shares of Stock), unless and until the Units have vested with respect to such shares of Stock and the shares of Stock have been issued to you.

4. Death. In the event you terminate employment by reason of death, any Units that have not vested prior to the date of your death shall immediately vest and shares of Stock shall be issued in accordance with your will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided that you have remained in continuous service with the Company or an Affiliate through the first anniversary of the Grant Date. In the event that your death occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, a number of the Units equal to the percentage of the year completed (based on the number of full and partial months of employment completed in such vesting year, rounded up to the nearest whole month) prior to death shall immediately vest and shares of Stock shall be issued in accordance with your will or the laws of descent and distribution and all remaining unvested Units shall immediately terminate and be forfeited.

6. Disability. If you terminate employment by reason of your Disability (as the term is defined in the Plan or determined under local law), any Units that have not vested prior to the date of your Disability shall immediately vest and shares of Stock shall be issued to you; provided you have remained in continuous service with the Company or an Affiliate through the first anniversary of the Grant Date. In the event that your Disability occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, all unvested Units shall immediately terminate and be forfeited in their entirety.

7. Other Termination of Employment; Certain Vesting Conditions. If your employment terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, any Units that have not vested prior to the date of your termination shall terminate and be forfeited on the effective date of such termination, except if your employment terminates for Cause, in which case, all unvested Units shall be forfeited upon notice of your termination for Cause. The issuance of shares of Stock is conditioned on your continuous employment with the Company or an Affiliate through and on the applicable anniversary of the Grant Date as set forth in Section 2 above. For purposes of the vesting conditions set forth in this Agreement, the effective date of your termination shall be deemed to be the last day of your active service with the Company or an Affiliate (if applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, the date of your termination of employment shall not be extended by any statutory or common law notice of termination period.

8. Change in Control of the Company. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, any Units that have not vested prior to the Change in Control shall immediately vest and shares of Stock will be issued to you; provided, however, that if you have entered into a Change in Control agreement with the Company, the Units will vest according to the provisions of the Change in Control agreement.

(a) Current Recoupment Policy. Pursuant to the Company's recoupment policy and to the extent permitted by governing law, the Board, in its discretion, may seek Recovery of the Award granted to you if you are a Current Executive Officer or Former Executive Officer and you, in the judgment of the Board, commit misconduct or a gross dereliction of duty that results in a material violation of Company policy and causes significant harm to the Company while serving in your capacity as Executive Officer.

(b) Provisions Required by Law. If the Company subequently determines that it is required by law to apply a "clawback" or alternate recoupment provision to outstanding Awards, under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or otherwise, then such clawback or recoupment provision also shall apply to this Award, as applicable, as if it had been included on the Grant Date and the Company shall notify you of such additional provision.

The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock until (a) all federal, state and local laws and regulations, as the Company may deem applicable, have been complied with; (b) the shares have been listed or authorized for listing upon official notice to the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or have otherwise been accorded trading privileges; and (c) all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of the shares have been approved by the Company's legal department.

Usted reconoce, además, que usted acepta todas las disposiciones del Plan, y en el Acuerdo. Usted también reconoce que ha leído y, concretamente, y aprobar de forma expresa los términos y condiciones establecidos en el Acuerdo, que claramente dispone lo siguiente:

responsable de la administración del Plan. Además, usted acepta que su participación en el Plan, la concesión de Units y cualquier adquisición de acciones en el marco del Plan no constituyen una relación laboral entre usted y la Compañía porque usted está participando en el Plan en su totalidad sobre una base comercial y su único empleador es [INSERT NAME OF LOCAL ENTITY].

Waiver of Termination Rights. As a condition to the grant of the Units, you hereby waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment with the Company and the Employer for any reason whatsoever, insofar as those rights result or may result from (a) the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements under the Plan, or (b) your ceasing to have rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any awards under the Plan as a result of such termination.

1. Director Notification Requirement. Directors of a Singaporean Subsidiary and/or Affiliate are subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Directors must notify the Singapore Subsidiary and/or Affiliate in writing of an interest (e.g., unvested Units, shares of Stock, etc.) in the Company or any Subsidiary and/or Affiliate within two (2) days of (i) its acquisition or disposal, (ii) any change in previously disclosed interest (e.g., when shares of Stock acquired at vesting are sold), or (iii) becoming a director.

2. Private Placement. The grant of Units is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption” under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Plan has not been and will not be lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and is not regulated by any financial supervisory authority pursuant to any legislation in Singapore. Accordingly, statutory liability under the SFA in relation to the content of prospectuses would not apply. You should note that the Units are subject to section 257 of the SFA and you will not be able to make (i) any subsequent sale of the shares of Stock in Singapore or (ii) any offer of such subsequent sale of the shares of Stock subject to the Units in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.).

2. Exchange Control Obligations. You are solely responsible for complying with applicable exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa. As the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of shares of Stock under the Plan to ensure compliance with current Exchange Control Regulations. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws.

You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, you understand that the Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Units and the shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that this grant would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the grant of Units shall be null and void.

You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of Units, your termination of employment for any reason (including the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the loss of the Units to the extent the Units have not vested as of date the you cease active employment. In particular, you understand and agree that any unvested Units as of the date you cease active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Stock or to any amount of indemnification in the event of the termination of employment by reason of, but not limited to, resignation, retirement, disability prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or 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 the Royal Decree 1382/1985. You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a termination of employment on your Award.

Regardless of any action the Company or the Affiliate that employs you (the “Employer”) (if applicable) takes with respect to any or all income tax, primary and secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding attributable to or payable in connection with or pursuant to the grant or vesting of the Award and the acquisition of Stock, or the release or assignment of the Award for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Award (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility. Furthermore, the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the Award, the vesting of the Award, and the issuance of Stock in settlement, the subsequent sale of any Stock acquired and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

As a condition of the issuance of Stock upon vesting of the Award, the Company and/or the Employer shall be entitled to withhold and you agree to pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy, all obligations of the Company and/or the Employer to account to HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) for any Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you by withholding a sufficient number of whole shares of Stock having a fair market value (determined in the Company's reasonable discretion) on the applicable withholding date equal to the minimum amount of Tax-Related Items required to be withheld. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, at its discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items legally payable by you by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from any wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; (b) arranging for the sale of a sufficient number of whole shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to you (on your behalf and at your direction pursuant to this

authorization); or (c) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of a sufficient number of whole shares of Stock acquired upon vesting of the Award. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a whole number of shares of Stock as described herein, you will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Award.

You also agree that the Company and the Employer may determine the amount of Tax-Related Items to be withheld and accounted for by reference to the maximum applicable rates, without prejudice to any right which you may have to recover any overpayment from the relevant tax authorities. You shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to account to HMRC with respect to the Chargeable Event that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. If any of the foregoing methods of collection are not allowed under applicable laws or if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section, the Company may refuse to deliver the shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.

If payment or withholding is not made within 90 days of the Chargeable Event or such other period as required under U.K. law (the "Due Date"), you agree that the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items shall (assuming you are not 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), constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. You agree that the loan will bear interest at the then-current HMRC Official Rate and it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are 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), you shall not be eligible for a loan from the Company to cover the income tax liability. In the event that you are a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by you by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) will be payable. You will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime, and the Company or the Employer (as applicable) will hold you liable for the cost of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit. The Company or the Employer (as applicable) may recover the cost of any such employee NICs from you at any time by any of the means referred to in this Section 13.

ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Award, whether or not as a result of the termination of your employment with the Company or its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever (whether the termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Award. Upon the grant of the Award, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.
