_________________________________

Plan Document

_________________________________

Adopted by the Board of Managers: September 17, 2019
Termination Date: September 17, 2029

1.
General.
(a)
Purpose. OneStream Software LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) hereby establishes this 2019 Common Unit Option Plan (this “Plan”). This Plan is intended (i) to attract and retain the best available personnel to ensure the Company’s success and accomplish the Company’s goals; (ii) to incentivize Employees, Managers, and Consultants with long-term, equity-based compensation to align their interests with the interests of the Company’s members; and (iii) to promote the success of the Company’s business.
(b)
Eligible Award Recipients. Employees, Consultants, Managers, or individuals or Persons to whom an offer of a service relationship as an Employee, Consultant, or Manager has been or is being extended (together, “Eligible Persons”) may receive Awards of Options, subject to the terms of this Plan.
(c)
Definitions. Capitalized terms in this Plan are defined in Section 21.
(d)
Effective Date. This Plan shall become effective on the date it is adopted by the Company’s Board of Managers.
(e)
Effect on Other Plans, Awards, and Arrangements. No payment pursuant to this Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any Company or any Affiliate benefit plan, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan.
2.
Units Available for Awards.
(a)
Unit Reserve; In General. A total of 17,391,304.348 Units may be issued under this Plan, subject to Section 8 below (“Unit Reserve”). The Units deliverable pursuant to Awards shall be authorized but unissued or reacquired Units, including Units that the Company repurchased on the open market or otherwise, or that the Company otherwise holds in treasury or trust.
(b)
Replenishment; Counting of Units. Any Units reserved for a given Award will again be available for future Awards if the Units for any reason will never be issued to a Participant or Beneficiary (e.g., due to the Award’s forfeiture, cancellation, or expiration, or pursuant to an Award providing for settlement solely in cash rather than in Units). Furthermore, (i) Units withheld in connection with any exercise price or Withholding Taxes relating to an Award shall not constitute Units delivered to the Participant and shall again be available for Awards under the

 


 

Plan, and (ii) Units tendered by a Participant in satisfaction of Withholding Taxes or payment of exercise price shall be available for future Awards under the Plan.
3.
Eligibility.
(a)
General Rule. The Committee shall determine which Eligible Persons may receive Awards. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that: sets forth the Grant Date and all other terms and conditions of the Award; is signed on behalf of the Company; and (unless waived by the Committee) is signed by the Eligible Person in acceptance of the Award. The grant of an Award shall not obligate the Company or any Affiliate to continue the employment or service of any Eligible Person, or to provide any future Awards or other remuneration at any time thereafter.
(b)
Consultants. A Consultant is eligible for an Award only if, at grant, the offer and/or sale of Company securities to the Consultant is exempt under Rule 701 or satisfies another exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and complies with all other Applicable Law.
4.
Unit Options.
(a)
Grants. For U.S. Taxpayers, Options only may be granted if the Eligible Person is providing services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries such as to qualify the Company as an eligible issuer of “service recipient stock” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. The Committee may grant Options to Eligible Persons pursuant to Award Agreements setting forth the terms and conditions for exercisability, vesting, and other requirements consistent with this Plan, as the Committee deems appropriate, and that may differ for any reason between Eligible Persons, provided in all instances that, for U.S. Taxpayers:
(i)
the exercise price of each Option shall be at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Units on the Grant Date (except the exercise price may be lower than 100% of such Fair Market Value if the Award replaces a previously issued Option or the Award is designated as a “Section 409A Award” and has a fixed exercise date or otherwise designed to comply with Code Section 409A); and
(ii)
no Option can be exercised beyond 10 years after its Grant Date (or any such shorter period specified in the Award Agreement).
(b)
Method of Exercise. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, each Option may be exercised in whole or in part (provided that the Company shall not be required to issue fractional Units) before it expires, but only pursuant to the applicable Award Agreement, and not during any exercise blackout periods the Committee implements from time to time in its sole discretion. Exercise shall occur by delivery of both (A) written or electronic notice of exercise to the secretary of the Company, and (B) payment of the full exercise price for the Units being purchased. The methods of payment that the Committee may in its discretion accept or commit to accept in an Award Agreement include:
(i)
cash or check payable to the Company (in U.S. dollars);

2


 

(ii)
other Units that (A) are owned by the Participant, (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Units as to which the Option is being exercised, (C) at the time of the surrender are free and clear of any and all claims, pledges, liens and encumbrances, or any restrictions on the transfer of such Units to or by the Company (other than such restrictions as may have existed prior to an issuance of such Units by the Company to the Participant), and (D) are duly endorsed for transfer to the Company; provided that doing so would not violate the provisions of any Applicable Law or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s Units;
(iii)
a net exercise by surrendering to the Company Units otherwise receivable on exercise of the Option (e.g., the Company will reduce the number of Units issued on exercise of the Option by the largest whole number of Units with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price); provided that the Participant pays any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by the “net exercise” in cash or other permitted form of payment, and Units will no longer be outstanding under the Option and will not be exercisable thereafter if those Units (A) are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (B) are delivered to the Participant as a result of such exercise, or (C) are withheld to satisfy the Participant’s Withholding Taxes;
(iv)
a cashless exercise program that the Committee may approve, from time to time in its discretion, pursuant to which a Participant may elect to concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (A) to the Participant’s broker or dealer to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Units and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the exercise price of the Option plus all applicable Withholding Taxes, and (B) to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Units directly to the broker or dealer in order to complete the sale;
(v)
any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or
(vi)
any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion.
(c)
The Company shall not be required to deliver Units pursuant to the exercise of an Option and an Option will not be deemed exercised until the Company has received sufficient funds or value to cover the full exercise price due and all applicable Withholding Taxes.
(d)
Exercise of Unvested Options. Options may be exercised only to the extent vested. No Participant may exercise an Option to the extent the Options is unvested.

3


 

(e)
Termination of Continuous Service. The Committee may set forth in the applicable Award Agreement the terms and conditions by which an Option is exercisable, if at all, after the date of a Participant’s termination of Continuous Service. The Committee may waive or modify these provisions at any time. To the extent that a Participant is not entitled to exercise an Option on the date of a Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, or if the Participant (or other Person entitled to exercise the Option) does not exercise the Option within the time specified in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has a contingent contractual obligation to provide for accelerated vesting or extended exercisability of a Participant’s Options after termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service, such Options shall remain outstanding until the maximum contractual time for determining whether such contingency will occur, and terminate at such time if the contingency has not then occurred; provided that for Options held by U.S. Taxpayers the foregoing shall not cause an Option to be exercisable after the 10-year anniversary of its Grant Date or the date such Option otherwise would have terminated had the Participant remained in Continuous Service.
(f)
Blackout Periods. If there is a blackout period (whether under the Company’s insider trading policy, Applicable Law, or a Committee-imposed blackout period) that prohibits buying or selling Units during any part of the 10-day period before an Option expires due to a Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, the Option exercise period shall be extended until 10 days after the end of the blackout period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan or any Award Agreement, no Option can be exercised beyond the date its original term expires as set forth in the Award Agreement or the date on which the Option otherwise would become unexercisable absent termination of Continuous Service.
(g)
Company Cancellation Right. Subject to Applicable Law, if the Fair Market Value for Units subject to any Option is more than 33% below their exercise price for more than 90 consecutive business days, the Committee unilaterally may declare the Option terminated, effective on the date the Committee provides written notice to the Option holder. The Committee may take such action with respect to any or all Options granted under the Plan or with respect to any individual Option holder or class(es) of Option holders.
(h)
Exchange Program. The Committee may at any time offer to buy out an Option, in exchange for a payment in cash or Units, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer is made.
(i)
Non-Exempt Employees. An Option granted to an Employee who is non-exempt for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, will not be first exercisable for any Units until at least six months after the Grant Date of the Option (although the Award may vest prior to such date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, consistent with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity Act, the vested portion of any Option may be exercised earlier than six months after the Grant Date: (i) if the non-exempt Employee dies or becomes Disabled, (ii) upon a corporate transaction in which the Option is not assumed, continued, or substituted, (iii) upon a Change in Control, or (iv) upon the Participant’s retirement (as may be defined in the Participant’s Award Agreement or other agreement with the Company, or, if no such definition, in accordance with the Company’s then current employment policies and guidelines). The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt Employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay. Notwithstanding Section 4(e), to the extent necessary to accomplish the foregoing, a vested Option will not terminate until six months after the Grant Date.

4


 

5.
Right of First Refusal; Right of Repurchase.
(a)
Right of Repurchase. An Award Agreement for an Option may include a provision whereby the Company or its designee may elect to repurchase all or any part of the vested Units acquired by the Participant pursuant to an Award.
(b)
Right of First Refusal. The Award Agreement for an Option may include a provision whereby the Company or its designee may elect to exercise a right of first refusal following receipt of notice from the Participant of the intent to transfer all or any part of the Units received upon the exercise of the Award. The Units also shall be subject to whatever right of first refusal and other limitations that may exist in Operating Agreement or other organizational documents of the Company.
6.
Taxes; Withholding; Code §409A.
(a)
General Rule. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, Participants are solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may arise in connection with Awards, and neither the Company, nor the Committee, nor any Affiliate, nor any of their employees, Managers, or agents shall have any duty or obligation to mitigate, minimize, indemnify, or to otherwise hold any Participant harmless from any such consequences.
(b)
Withholding. The Company’s obligation to deliver Units (or to pay cash) to Participants pursuant to Awards is at all times subject to their prior or coincident satisfaction of all Withholding Taxes. Except as otherwise provided under the Plan or in an Award Agreement, no later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in a Participant’s taxable income for U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income or social insurance tax purposes with respect to an Award, the Participant shall pay to the Company (or to the Affiliate employing the Participant), or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company (or such Affiliate) for the payment of, any such Withholding Taxes (which normally will not apply to non-Employees). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Affiliates may, in each of their sole discretion, withhold a sufficient number of Units that are otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to the Award (and/or cash that is otherwise payable to the Participant) in order to satisfy all or part of Withholding Taxes.
(c)
U.S. Code Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under this Plan is subject to Code Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, this Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. The Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures or cancelling all or some Awards with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate (i) to exempt an Award from Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section.

5


 

(d)
U.S. Code Sections 280G and 4999. Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Plan or any other document to the contrary, in no event shall the vesting of any Award or payment be accelerated to an extent or in a manner so that such Award or payment, together with any other compensation and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, a Participant under any other plan or agreement of the Company or its Affiliates, would not be fully deductible by the Company or one of its Affiliates for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Code. If a holder of an Award would be entitled to benefits or payments hereunder and under any other plan or program that would constitute “parachute payments” as defined in Section 280G of the Code, then the Company shall reduce or eliminate such parachute payments in the following order so that the Company or one of its Affiliates is not denied federal income tax deductions because of Section 280G of the Code: cash severance benefits shall be reduced or eliminated first, then any accelerated vesting of Options shall be reduced or eliminated, and finally any other benefits to which the Participant is or may be entitled shall be reduced or eliminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is a party to a written agreement with the Company or one of its Affiliates, or is a participant in a severance program sponsored by the Company or one of its Affiliates that contains express provisions regarding Section 280G and/or Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar successor provision), or the applicable Award Agreement includes such provisions, the Section 280G and/or Section 4999 provisions of such other agreement or plan, as applicable, shall control as to the Awards held by that Participant.
(e)
Unfunded Tax Status. This Plan is an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Person pursuant to an Award, nothing in this Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Person any rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate, and a Participant’s rights under this Plan at all times constitute an unsecured claim against the Company’s general assets for the collection of benefits as they come due. Neither the Participant nor his or her duly-authorized transferee or Beneficiaries shall have any claim against or rights in any specific assets, Units, or other funds of the Company.
7.
Non-Transferability of Awards.
(a)
General. Except as set forth in this Section, or as otherwise approved by the Committee and subject to restrictions on transfer contained in the Operating Agreement or other organizational documents of the Company, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The designation of a death Beneficiary by a Participant will not constitute a transfer. An Award may be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder of an Award, only by such holder, by the duly-authorized legal representative of a holder who is Disabled, or by a transferee permitted by this Section.
(b)
Limited Transferability Rights. Subject to restrictions on transfer contained in the Operating Agreement or other organizational documents of the Company, the Committee may in its discretion provide in an Award Agreement that an Award in the form of an Option may be transferred, on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, either (i) by instrument to the Participant’s Immediate Family, (ii) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust (or other entity) in which the Award is to be passed to the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries, (iii) pursuant to a domestic relations order, or (iv) by gift to charitable institutions. Any transferee of the Participant’s rights shall succeed and be subject to all of the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and this Plan.

6


 

(c)
Death. In the event of the death of a Participant, any outstanding vested Awards issued to the Participant shall automatically be transferred to the Participant’s Beneficiary (or, if no Beneficiary is designated or surviving, to the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under the Award pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the state in which the Participant was domiciled at the time of his or her death).
8.
Change in Capital Structure; Change in Control; Etc.
(a)
Changes in Capitalization. The Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, equitably adjust the number of Units covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Units that have been authorized for issuance under this Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or that have been returned to this Plan upon cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of an Award, or any other Plan limits, as well as the exercise or other price per Unit covered by each such outstanding Award, to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued Units resulting from a stock/unit-split, reverse stock/unit-split, stock/unit dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Units, merger, consolidation, change in organization form, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Units effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards, or as an alternative to an adjustment, such alternative consideration (including cash or securities of any surviving entity) as it may in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances and may, if substitute consideration is provided, require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so substituted. In any case, such substitution of consideration shall not require the consent of any Participant.
(b)
Dissolution or Liquidation. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company other than as part of a Change in Control, each Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such dissolution or liquidation, subject to the ability of the Committee to exercise any discretion authorized in the case of a Change in Control.
(c)
Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (which, solely for purposes of this Section 8(c), shall also include KKR Dream Holdings LLC or its affiliates ceasing to own a majority of the voting power of the outstanding equity of the Company) but subject to the terms of any Award Agreements or employment-related agreements between the Company or any Affiliates and any Participant, each outstanding Award may be assumed or a substantially equivalent award may be substituted by the surviving or successor company or a parent or subsidiary of such successor company (in each case, the “Successor Company”) upon consummation of the transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instead of having outstanding Awards be assumed or substituted with equivalent awards by the Successor Company, the Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion and authority, without obtaining the approval or consent of the Company’s members or any Participant, take one or more of the following actions:
(i)
accelerate the vesting of Awards so that some or all Awards shall vest (and, to the extent applicable, become exercisable) as to some or all of the Units that otherwise would have been unvested, and/or provide that repurchase rights of the Company, if any, with respect to Units issued pursuant to an Award shall lapse;

7


 

(ii)
arrange or otherwise provide for the payment of cash or other consideration to Participants in exchange for the satisfaction and cancellation of all or some outstanding Awards (based on the Fair Market Value, on the date of the Change in Control, of the Award being cancelled, based on any reasonable valuation method selected by the Committee; provided that the Committee shall have full discretion to unilaterally cancel (A) either all Awards or only select Awards (such as only those that have vested on or before the Change in Control), and (B) any Options whose exercise price is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the Units, as of the date of the Change in Control, with such cancellation being without the payment of any consideration whatsoever to those Participants whose Options are being cancelled;
(iii)
terminate all or some Awards upon the consummation of the transaction; or
(iv)
make such other modifications, adjustments or amendments to outstanding Awards or this Plan as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate.
9.
Termination, Rescission, and Recapture of Awards.
(a)
Each Award under this Plan is intended to align the Participant’s long-term interests with those of the Company. Accordingly, unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement, the Committee may terminate any outstanding, unexercised, unexpired, unpaid, or deferred Awards (“Termination”), rescind any exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to the Award (“Rescission”), or recapture any Units or proceeds from the Participant’s sale of Units issued pursuant to the Award (“Recapture”), if the Participant does not comply with the conditions of subsections 9(b), 9(c), and 9(e) (collectively, the “Conditions”) at all times from the date of an Award through the later of its vesting or exercise.
(b)
A Participant shall not, without the Company’s prior written authorization, disclose to anyone outside the Company, or use in other than the Company’s business, any proprietary or confidential information or material, as those or other similar terms are used in any applicable patent, confidentiality, inventions, secrecy, or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Affiliates (or policy applicable to the Participant), including but not limited to those with regard to proprietary or confidential information or intellectual property (including but not limited to patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, inventions, developments, improvements, proprietary information, confidential business and personnel information) (each a “Confidentiality Agreement”), and a Participant shall promptly disclose and assign to the Company or its designee all right, title, and interest in such intellectual property, and shall take all reasonable steps necessary to enable the Company to secure all right, title and interest in such intellectual property in the United States and in any foreign country. Notwithstanding the Participant’s confidentiality obligations set forth in this Plan or any Confidentiality Agreements, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or

8


 

indirectly, or to an attorney, and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. If the Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, he or she may disclose the trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if he or she (i) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. In the event it is determined that disclosure of Company trade secrets was not done in good faith pursuant to the above, the Participant may be subject to substantial damages under federal criminal and civil law, including punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.
(c)
Upon exercise, payment, or delivery of cash or Units pursuant to an Award, the Participant shall, if requested in writing by the Committee (or the Company), certify on a form acceptable to the Committee (or, if applicable, the Company) that he or she is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Plan.
(d)
The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose a Termination, Rescission, and/or Recapture with respect to any or all of a Participant’s relevant Awards if the Committee determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Participant has materially violated any agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Affiliates.
(e)
Within 10 days after receiving notice from the Committee of any such activity described in Section 9(d) above, the Participant shall deliver to the Company the Units acquired pursuant to the Award, or, if Participant has sold the Units, the gain realized, or payment received as a result of the rescinded exercise, payment, or delivery; provided, that if the Participant returns Units that the Participant purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option (or the gains realized from the sale of such Units), the Company shall promptly refund the exercise price, without earnings, that the Participant paid for the Units or, if Fair Market Value of the Units is less than the exercise price, promptly pay to the Participant Fair Market Value of the returned Units. Any payment by the Participant to the Company pursuant to this Section 9 shall be made either in cash or by returning to the Company the number of Units that the Participant received in connection with the rescinded exercise, payment, or delivery.
(f)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, the Committee has sole and absolute discretion not to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture, and its determination not to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture with respect to any particular act by a particular Participant or Award shall not in any way reduce or eliminate the Committee’s authority to require Termination, Rescission and/or Recapture with respect to any other act or Participant or Award. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be construed to impose obligations on the Participant to refrain from engaging in lawful competition with the Company after the termination of Continuous Service that does not violate the Conditions, other than any obligations that are part of any separate agreement between the Company and the Participant or that arise under Applicable Law.
(g)
If any provision within this Section 9 is determined to be unenforceable or invalid under any Applicable Law, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives and any limitations required under Applicable Law.

9


 

(h)
This Section 9 is supplemental to, and does not supersede, any other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates.
10.
Recoupment of Awards.
(a)
Unless otherwise specifically provided in an Award Agreement, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion, without obtaining the approval or consent of the Company’s members or of any Participant, require that any Participant reimburse the Company for all or any portion of any Awards granted under this Plan (“Reimbursement”), or the Committee may require the Termination or Rescission of, or the Recapture relating to, any Award held by the Participant, if and to the extent—
(i)
the granting, vesting, or payment of an Award was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a material financial restatement;
(ii)
in the Committee’s view the Participant either benefited from a calculation that later proves to be materially inaccurate, or engaged in fraud or misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for a material financial restatement by the Company or any Affiliate; or
(iii)
a lower granting, vesting, or payment of an Award would have occurred based on the conduct described in Section 9(b) above.
(b)
In each instance, the Committee may, to the extent practicable and allowable or required under Applicable Laws, require Reimbursement, Termination or Rescission of, or Recapture relating to, any such Award granted to a Participant; provided that the Committee will not seek Reimbursement, Termination or Rescission of, or Recapture relating to, any such Awards that were paid or vested more than three years prior to the first date of the applicable restatement period. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, all Awards shall be subject to Reimbursement, Termination, Rescission, and/or Recapture to the extent required by Applicable Law, including but not limited to Section 10D of the Exchange Act.
11.
Administration of this Plan.
(a)
In General. The Committee shall administer this Plan in accordance with its terms, provided that the Board may act in lieu of the Committee on any matter. The Committee shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine and may prescribe, amend, and rescind such rules and regulations, and procedures for the conduct of its business as it deems advisable. In the absence of a Committee, the Board shall function as the Committee for all purposes of this Plan.
(b)
Committee Composition. The Board shall appoint the members of the Committee. Subject to Applicable Law and the restrictions set forth in this Plan, the Committee may delegate administrative functions to individuals who are Managers or Employees, and may authorize one or more executive officers to make Awards to Eligible Persons other than themselves. The Board may at any time appoint additional members to the Committee, remove and replace members of the Committee with or without Cause, and fill vacancies on the Committee however caused. The

10


 

Committee shall have the power to delegate to a subcommittee of the Board any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise, subject to such resolutions, consistent with this Plan, as the Board may adopt from time to time.
(c)
Powers of the Committee. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion:
(i)
to grant Awards and to determine Eligible Persons to whom Awards shall be granted from time to time, and the number of Units to be covered by each Award;
(ii)
to determine, from time to time, the Fair Market Value of Units;
(iii)
to determine, and to set forth in Award Agreements, the terms and conditions of all Awards, including any applicable exercise or purchase price; the installments and conditions under which an Award shall become vested (which may be based on performance), terminated, expired, cancelled, or replaced; the circumstances for vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions; and other restrictions and limitations;
(iv)
to approve the forms of Award Agreements and all other documents, notices and certificates in connection therewith, which need not be identical either as to type of Award or among Participants;
(v)
to construe and interpret the terms of this Plan and any Award Agreement, to determine the meaning of their terms, to correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in this Plan or any Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make this Plan or an Award fully effective, and to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and procedures relating to this Plan and its administration;
(vi)
to the extent consistent with the purposes of this Plan and without amending this Plan, to modify, to cancel, or to waive the Company’s rights with respect to any Awards, to adjust or to modify Award Agreements for changes in Applicable Law, and to recognize differences in foreign law, tax policies, or customs;
(vii)
in the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting, settlement, or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an Internet website or interactive voice response, to implement paperless documentation, granting, settlement, or exercise of Awards by a Participant through the use of such an automated system; and
(viii)
to make all determinations and to take all other actions that the Committee may consider necessary or desirable to administer the Plan or to effectuate its purposes.

11


 

(d)
Powers of the Company. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, all administrative and discretionary authority given to the Company under this Plan shall be exercised by the most senior human resources executive of the Company, or such other person or committee (including without limitation the Committee) as the Committee may designate from time to time.
(e)
Local Law Adjustments and Sub-plans.
(i)
To facilitate the making of any grant of an Award under this Plan, the Committee may adopt rules and provide for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are located within the United States, foreign nationals, or employed by the Company or any Affiliate outside of the United States of America as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding the conversion of local currency, taxes, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with the customs and requirements of particular countries. The Committee may adopt procedures or sub-plans and establish escrow accounts and trusts, and settle Awards in cash in lieu of Units, as may be appropriate, required or applicable to particular locations and countries.
(ii)
Action by Committee (e.g., to permit participation in this Plan by Eligible Persons who are non-United States nationals or are primarily employed or providing services outside the United States). The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under this Plan made to or held by a Participant who is then a resident, or is primarily employed or providing services, outside of the United States, in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then a resident or primarily employed or providing services, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by non-United States tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence, employment, or providing services abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such Award to a Participant who is a resident, or is primarily employed or providing services, in the United States. An Award may be modified under this subsection in a manner that is inconsistent with the express terms of this Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any Applicable Law or regulation or result in actual liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the Participant whose Award is modified. Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by an officer or other Employee of the Company or any Affiliate, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation Consultant or other professional retained by the Company or the Committee to assist in the administration of this Plan, or by any Participant or Beneficiary.

Deference to Committee Determinations. The Committee shall have the discretion to interpret or construe ambiguous, unclear, or implied (but omitted) terms as it deems to be appropriate in its sole discretion, and to make any findings of fact needed in the administration of this Plan or Award Agreements. The Committee’s prior exercise of its discretionary authority shall not obligate it to exercise its authority in a like fashion thereafter. The Committee’s interpretation and construction of any provision of this Plan, or of any Award or Award Agreement, and all determinations the Committee makes pursuant to this Plan shall be final, binding, and conclusive (subject only to the Committee’s inherent authority to change its determinations).

(g)
Any determination made by the Committee with respect to any provisions of this Plan may be made on an Award-by-Award basis; the Committee has no obligation to be uniform, consistent, or nondiscriminatory between classes of similarly-situated Awards, except as required by Applicable Law.
(h)
Claims Limitations Period. Any Participant who believes he or she is being denied any benefit or right under this Plan or under any Award may file a written claim with the Committee. Any claim must be delivered to the Committee within 45 days of the specific event giving rise to the claim. Untimely claims will not be processed and shall be deemed denied. The Committee, or its designee, will notify the Participant of its decision in writing as soon as administratively practicable. Claims shall be deemed denied if the Committee does not respond in writing within 120 days of the date the written claim is delivered to the Committee. The Committee’s decision is final and conclusive and binding on all persons.

13


 

previously exercised, or to make any change that this Plan would permit for a new Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification of an outstanding Award may materially and adversely affect a Participant’s rights thereunder unless (a) the Participant provides written consent to the modification, (b) before a Change in Control, the Committee determines in good faith that the modification is not materially adverse to the Participant, or (c) such modification is permitted by another Section of this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the limitations of Applicable Law, if any, and without the affected Participant’s consent, the Board may amend the terms of any one or more Awards if necessary to bring the Award into compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

13.
Plan Amendment and Termination.

The Board may amend or terminate this Plan as it shall deem advisable unless such change is authorized by the members of the Company to the extent required by Applicable Law. A termination or amendment of this Plan shall not materially and adversely affect a Participant’s vested rights under an Award previously granted to him or her, unless the Participant consents in writing to such termination or amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may amend this Plan to comply with changes in tax or securities laws or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof.

14.
Term of Plan.

If not sooner terminated by the Board, this Plan shall terminate at the close of business on the date 10 years after the earlier of Board approval of this Plan and its Effective Date. No Awards shall be made under this Plan after its termination.

General Rules. This Plan, the granting of Awards, the exercise of Options, and the obligations of the Company and Committee hereunder (including those to pay cash or to deliver, sell or accept the surrender of any of its Units or other securities) shall be subject to all Applicable Law. In the event that any Units are not registered under any Applicable Law prior to the required delivery of them pursuant to Awards, the Committee may require, as a condition to their issuance or delivery, that the persons to whom the Units are to be issued or delivered make any written representations and warranties (such as that such Units are being acquired by the Participant for investment for the Participant’s own account and not with a view to, for resale in connection with, or with an intent of participating directly or indirectly in, any distribution of such Units) that the Committee may reasonably require, and the Committee may in its sole discretion include a legend to such effect on the certificates representing any Units issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan.

(b)
Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding any contrary terms within this Plan or any Award Agreement, the Committee shall have the absolute discretion to impose a “blackout” period on the exercise of any Option, as well as the settlement of any Award, with respect to any or all Participants (including those whose Continuous Service has ended) to the extent the Committee determines that doing so is desirable or required to comply with applicable securities laws.
(c)
Data Privacy. As a condition of receipt of any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing this Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in this Plan. In furtherance of such implementation, administration, and management, the Company and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant with respect to one or more Awards under the Plan, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s), information regarding any securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and details of all Awards (the “Data”). In addition to transferring the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration, and management of this Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in this Plan, the Company and its Affiliates each may transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company (including the Committee) in the implementation, administration, and management of this Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in this Plan. Recipients of the Data may be located in the Participant’s country or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country and any given recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of assisting the Company (including the Committee) in the implementation, administration, and management of this Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in this Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Units. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data held by the Company with respect to such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data with respect to such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data with respect to the Participant, or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting such Participant’s local human resources representative. The Company or the Committee may cancel the Participant’s eligibility to participate in this Plan, and in the Committee’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents described herein. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.
(d)
Severability; Blue Pencil. In the event that any provision(s) of this Plan shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. If in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction such covenants are not reasonable in any respect, such court shall have the right, power, and authority to excise or modify such provision or provisions of these covenants as to the court shall appear not reasonable and to enforce the remainder of these covenants as so amended. Any arbitrator shall have the same rights, powers, and authority.

15


 

17.
No Member Rights.

Neither a Participant nor any transferee or Beneficiary of a Participant shall have any rights as a member of the Company with respect to any Units underlying any Award until the date of issuance of a Unit certificate to such Participant, transferee, or Beneficiary for such Units in accordance with the Company’s governing instruments and Applicable Law. Prior to the issuance of Units pursuant to an Award, a Participant shall not have the right to vote or to receive distributions or any other rights as a member with respect to the Units underlying the Award, notwithstanding its exercise in the case of Options. No adjustment will be made for a dividend, distribution or other right that is determined based on a record date prior to the date the unit certificate is issued, except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan or an Award Agreement. For all purposes herein, if Units are not certificated, the recording of the Participant as the holder of applicable Units in the books and records of the Company shall be deemed to be the issuance of a Unit certificate in respect of those Units so recorded.

18.
No Obligation to Notify.

The Company and the Committee shall have no duty or obligation to any Participant to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising an Award. Furthermore, the Company and the Committee shall have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of an Award or a possible period in which the Award may not be exercised.

19.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Use of Proceeds from Sales of Units. Proceeds from the sale of Units pursuant to Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.
(b)
Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant shall be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant.
20.
Pre-IPO Provisions.

Subject to any contrary terms set forth in any Award Agreement, for any period preceding the date of an initial public offering, this Section shall be applicable to any Units subject to or issued pursuant to Awards. The provisions set forth below shall become null and void upon the occurrence of an initial public offering.

(a)
Members’ Agreement. As a condition for the delivery of any Units pursuant to any Award, the Committee may require the Participant to execute and be bound by any agreement that generally exists between the Company and similarly-situated members.

directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Units acquired pursuant to Awards without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of time, not exceeding 180 days, following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In the event of the declaration of a stock/unit dividend, a spin-off, a stock/unit split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Units subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Units thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to such Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Units acquired pursuant to Awards until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company and its underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement in this Section.

If no such alternative definitions for “Cause” exist, “Cause” means that the Company determines in its reasonable discretion that any of the following situations gave rise to a Participant’s termination from Continuous Service: (a) the Participant committed, was convicted, or pled no contest or any similar plea to a misdemeanor involving acts of dishonesty or breach of fiduciary duty or any felony; (b) the Participant willfully or negligently failed to substantially perform his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company or deliberately violated a Company policy; (c) the Participant committed any act or acts of fraud, embezzlement, dishonesty, or other willful misconduct; (d) without authorization, the Participant used or disclosed any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom the Participant owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of his or her relationship with the Company; or (e) the Participant breached any of his or her material obligations under any written agreement with the Company. The foregoing definition does not in any way limit the Company’s ability to terminate a Participant’s employment or other service relationship at any time, and the term “the Company” will be interpreted herein to include any Affiliate or successor thereto, if appropriate. Furthermore, a Participant’s Continuous Service shall be deemed to have terminated for Cause within the meaning hereof if, at any time (whether before, on, or after termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service), facts or circumstances are discovered that would have justified a termination for Cause, regardless of whether the Participant initiated the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service.

Fair Market Value means, for purposes of this Plan and unless otherwise determined or provided by the Committee in the circumstances:

(i)

The Committee also may adopt a different methodology for determining Fair Market Value with respect to one or more Awards if a different methodology is necessary or advisable to secure any intended favorable tax, legal or other treatment for the particular Awards (for example, and without limitation, the Committee may provide that Fair Market Value for purposes of one or more Awards will be based on an average of closing prices (or the average of high and low daily trading prices) for a specified period preceding the relevant date). Any determination as to Fair Market Value made pursuant to this Plan shall be made without regard to any restriction other than a restriction which, by its terms, will never lapse, and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons with respect to Awards granted under this Plan.

Good Reason has the same meaning as set forth in any unexpired employment agreement or independent contractor agreement between the Company and the Participant for purposes of providing severance upon a resignation for Good Reason or, in the absence of such agreement, as set forth in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If no such alternative definitions for “Good Reason” exist, “Good Reason” means, with respect to a Participant, (A) a material reduction in the Participant’s authority, duties, and responsibilities, provided that a mere change in the Participant’s title shall not trigger Good Reason and Participant continuing in the same role on a divisional or business unit basis following the acquisition of the Company by a larger entity shall not trigger Good Reason, (B) the Participant being required to relocate his place of employment, other than a relocation within 50 miles of the Participant’s prior principal work site, or (C) a material reduction in the Participant’s base salary other than any such reduction consistent with a general reduction of pay for similarly-situated Participants; provided, however, that Good Reason shall exist only if the Participant provides the Company with written notice of the existence of one of the events, arising without the Participant’s consent, listed in the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) below within 30 days of the initial existence of such event; (2) the Company fails to cure such event within 30 days following the date such notice is given; and (3) the Participant elects to voluntarily terminate employment within the 90 day period immediately following such event.

8.
Acknowledgment and Waiver.

By accepting the grant of this Option, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that:

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

3


 

(b)
the grant of Options is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units or Options, or benefits in lieu of Units or Options, even if Units or Options have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c)
all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, shall be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)
Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment or service with Employer (as defined below) and shall not interfere with the ability of Employer to terminate Optionee’s Continuous Service, and it is expressly agreed and understood that the employment or service relationship between Optionee and Employer is terminable at the will of either party, insofar as permitted by law;
(e)
Optionee is participating voluntarily in the Plan;
(f)
Option grants and resulting benefits are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and are outside the scope of Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any;
(g)
Option grants and resulting benefits are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, or end of service payments, or bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law;
(h)
in the event that Optionee is not an employee of the Company, this grant of Options shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, and furthermore, this grant of Options shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any subsidiary of the Company;
(i)
the future value of the Option Units is unknown, may increase or decrease from the date of grant or exercise of the Option and cannot be predicted with certainty; and
(j)
in consideration of the grant of this Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination or diminution in value of this Option resulting from termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever), and Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the terms of this Agreement, Optionee shall be irrevocably deemed to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim.
9.
Taxes and Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company or Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Optionee is and remains Optionee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the grant of this Option, including the grant, vesting and exercise of the Option, delivery of Units and/or cash related to such Option or the subsequent sale of any Units

4


 

acquired pursuant to such Option, and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of the grant of this Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Optionee shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Optionee’s participation in the Plan or receipt of this Option that cannot be satisfied by the means described below. Further, if Optionee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Company may refuse to deliver the Units if Optionee fails to comply with Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Optionee shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or to the Employer (in their sole discretion) to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company or Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by Optionee by (1) withholding a number of Units otherwise deliverable equal to the Retained Unit Amount (as defined below); (2) withholding from Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or Employer; and/or (3) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Units acquired upon settlement of the Option, either through a voluntary sale or through a sale arranged by the Company (on Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), to the extent permitted by the Plan administrator. The “Retained Unit Amount” shall mean a number of Units equal to the quotient of the minimum statutory tax withholding obligation of the Company triggered by the Option on the relevant date, divided by the fair market value of one Unit on the relevant date or as otherwise provided in the Plan. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Units as described herein, Optionee understands that he or she shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of applicable Units, notwithstanding that a number of Units are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Optionee acknowledges and understands that Optionee should consult a tax advisor regarding Optionee’s tax obligations.

10.
Data Protection. FOR OPTIONEES OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION (THE “EU”), THE OPTIONEE HEREBY EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENTS TO THE COLLECTION, USE AND TRANSFER, IN ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM, OF OPTIONEES PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT BY AND AMONG, AS APPLICABLE, THE EMPLOYER, THE COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES FOR the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

5

Optionee understands that he/she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the local human resources representative. Optionee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom Optionee may elect to deposit any Units acquired under the Plan.

13.
Relation to Other Benefits.

14.
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 Optionee under this Agreement without Optionee’s written consent.

15.
Severability.

Insider-Trading Notification. Optionees should be aware of the Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Units acquired upon exercise of the Option. In particular, Optionees may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions involving Units if they have inside information about the Company. Optionees should consult their personal legal advisor if they are uncertain whether the insider-trading rules apply to them. By accepting the Agreement and participating in the Plan, Optionee acknowledges having read and understood this notification and acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with the Dutch insider-trading rules.

No Special Employment or Similar Rights. Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and discretionally decided to distribute awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a temporary 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 subsidiaries presently or in the future, other than as specifically set forth in the Plan and the terms and conditions of Optionee’s Option grant. Consequently, Optionee understands that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, Optionee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the awards and underlying Units is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, Optionee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Optionee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of awards shall be null and void and the Plan shall not have any effect whatsoever.

Further, the Option provides a conditional right to Units and may be forfeited or affected by Optionee’s termination of Continuous Service, as set forth in the Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, Optionee’s rights, if any, to the Options upon termination of Continuous Service shall be determined as set forth in the Agreement, including, without limitation, where (i) Optionee is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (ii) Optionee is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (iii) Optionee terminates service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; or (iv) Optionee terminates service due to the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ unilateral breach of contract.

Securities Law Notice. The Options granted under the Plan do not qualify as securities under Spanish regulations. By the grant of the Options, no “offer of securities to the public”, as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in Spanish territory. The present document and any other document relating to the offer of Options under the Plan has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and it does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

Foreign Asset and Account Reporting. To the extent that Spanish residents hold rights or assets (e.g., Units, cash, etc.) in a bank or brokerage account outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 per type of right or asset as of December 31 each year, such residents are required to report information on such rights and assets on their tax return for such year. Units constitute securities for purposes of this requirement, but Options (whether vested or unvested) are generally not considered assets or rights for purposes of this requirement.

If applicable, Spanish residents must report the assets or rights on Form 720 by no later than March 31 following the end of the relevant year. After such assets or rights are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any

previously-reported assets or rights increases by more than €20,000. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement may result in penalties.

Spanish residents are also required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the securities held in such accounts, if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceeds €1,000,000. More frequent reporting is required if such transaction value or account balance exceeds €1,000,000.

Spanish residents should consult with their personal tax and legal advisors to ensure compliance with their personal reporting obligations.

Exchange Control Information. All acquisitions of foreign Units by Spanish residents must comply with exchange control regulations in Spain. Because of foreign investments requirements, the acquisition of Units under the Plan must be declared for statistical purposes to the Spanish Direccion General de Politica Comercial y de Inversiones Extranjeras (the “DGPCIE”). If Optionee acquires the Units through the use of a Spanish financial institution, that institution will automatically make the declaration to the DGPCIE for Optionee. Otherwise, Optionee must make the declaration by filing a form with the DGPCIE.

If Optionee imports the Units acquired under the Plan into Spain, he or she must declare the importation of the Unit certificates to the DGPCIE.

In addition, Optionee must also file a declaration of the ownership of the Units with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January while the Units are owned. These filings are made on standard forms furnished by the Directorate of Foreign Transactions.

When Optionee receives any foreign currency payments (i.e., as a result of the sale of the Units), he or she must inform the institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made and provide certain specific information (e.g., name, address, and fiscal identification number; the name and corporate domicile of the company; the amount of the payment; the type of foreign currency received; the country of origin; and the reason for the payment).
