This invitation and, in Employee’s case, the acquisition of shares of Stock does not, in any way, establish a labor relationship between Employee and the Company, nor does it establish any rights between Employee and the Employer.

Esta invitación y, en caso del Empleado, la adquisición de valores de acciones, de ninguna manera establecen relación laboral alguna entre el Empleado y la Empresa y tampoco genera derecho alguno entre el Empleado y el Patrón.

Spain | Securities Law Notice No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the grant of the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement have been nor will they be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spanish securities regulator), and they do not constitute a public offering prospectus. Labor Law Acknowledgment By accepting the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder, Employee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that Employee has received a copy of the Plan. Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant any Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to certain individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliated companies throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision, which is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any Restricted Stock Units granted will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliated companies on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, Employee understands that the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder are given on the assumption and condition that they shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and affiliated companies) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, |
salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, Employee understands and freely accepts that the future value of the Restricted Stock Units and the underlying shares of Stock is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, Employee understands that any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Employee understands, 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 Restricted Stock Units or right to Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void. Further, the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is expressly conditioned on Employee’s continued and active employment, such that if Employee’s employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Restricted Stock Units may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the Termination Date (unless otherwise specifically provided in the Agreement). This will be the case, for example, even if (i) Employee is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”); (ii) Employee is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (iii) Employee terminates employment due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (iv) Employee terminates employment due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or the Employer; or (v) Employee’s employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon termination of Employee’s employment for any of the above reasons, Employee may automatically lose any rights to the Restricted Stock Units that were not vested on the Employee’s Termination Date, as described in the Agreement and the Plan. Exchange Control Information To participate in the Plan, Employee must comply with exchange control regulations in Spain. Employee is required to declare electronically to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the shares of Stock held in such accounts, depending on 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. If Employee holds 10% or more of the share capital of the Company or such other amount that would entitle Employee to join the Board, the acquisition, ownership and disposition of stock in a foreign company (including shares of Stock) must be declared for statistical purposes to the Spanish Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones, the Bureau for Commerce and Investments, which is a department of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. In this case, the declaration must be made in January for shares of Stock acquired or disposed of during the prior year and/or for shares of Stock owned as of December 31 of the prior year; however, if the value of the shares of Stock acquired or sold exceeds €1,502,530, the declaration must be filed within one month of the acquisition or disposition, as applicable. |
Foreign Asset and Account Reporting Employee understands that if Employee holds assets (e.g., shares of Stock or cash held in a bank or brokerage account) outside of Spain with a value in excess of a certain threshold (currently EUR 50,000) per type of asset (e.g., shares of Stock, cash, etc.) as of December 31, Employee is required to report certain information regarding such assets on tax Form 720. After such assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported assets increases by more than a specified amount (currently EUR 20,000) or if Employee sells or otherwise disposes of previously-reported assets. The reporting must be completed by the following March 31. | |||||||||||

United Kingdom | Withholding of Taxes This provision shall supplement Paragraph 7 of the Agreement: Without limitation to Paragraph 7 of the Agreement, Employee agrees that Employee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company, the Employer or by HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). Employee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on Employee’s behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that Employee is a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by Employee within ninety (90) days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. Employee acknowledges that Employee ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the amount of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from Employee at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Paragraph 7 of the Agreement. Exclusion of Claim Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from Employee ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to Restricted Stock Units, whether or not as a result of termination of employment (whether such termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably such entitlement. |
Venezuela | Securities Law Notice The offer of Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan is personal, private, exclusive and non-transferable and is not subject to Venezuelan government securities regulations.

Following the sale of shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, Employee may be subject to certain restrictions and compliance duties if Employee attempts to transfer such cash proceeds into Venezuela. Employee is personally responsible for complying with applicable exchange control requirements in Venezuela. Labor Law Acknowledgment Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Plan, as well as any benefits or advantages Employee might eventually receive as a result of the receipt and sale of any shares of Stock, constitute commercial items governed by the commercial laws of the United States and will be the result of market forces driving the price of the shares of Stock which are not dependent upon Employee’s performance as an employee and, as result, will not constitute part of Employee’s salary for any purposes. |
