2.                                       Transfer Restrictions .   Grantee shall not sell, assign, transfer, exchange, pledge, encumber, gift, devise, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “ Transfer ”) any RSUs or Dividend Equivalent Rights granted hereunder.  Any purported Transfer of RSUs or Dividend Equivalent Rights in breach of the Agreement shall be void and ineffective, and shall not operate to Transfer any interest or title in the purported transferee.

3.                                       Vesting and Payment of RSUs and Dividend Equivalent Rights.

(a)                                  Vesting of RSUs and Dividend Equivalent Rights .  Subject to these terms and conditions, Grantee’s interest in the RSUs and tandem Dividend Equivalent Rights granted hereunder shall vest on each vesting date set out in the Grant Notice (the “ Vesting Date ”), provided that Grantee is still an Employee and has continuously been an Employee from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date, except as provided in Section 4 .  All RSUs that do not become vested as of the end of the vesting period shall be forfeited.  Any Dividend Equivalent Right subject to the Agreement shall expire at the time the RSU with respect to which the

3

Dividend Equivalent Right is in tandem (i) is vested and paid, or, to the extent permitted by the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, deferred, (ii) is forfeited, or (iii) expires.

(b)                                  Settlement of RSUs .  As of each Vesting Date, the Grantee shall become entitled to the number of Shares which have become vested as determined in accordance with Section  3(a)  and Section 4 , as adjusted in accordance with Section 3(d) , if applicable.  All Shares delivered to or on behalf of Grantee in exchange for vested RSUs shall (i) be delivered on or prior to the Settlement Date following the Vesting Date and (ii) if applicable, be subject to any further transfer or other restrictions as may be required by a securities law or other applicable law as determined by the Company.  For purpose of the Agreement, the “ Settlement Date ” shall be any business day within the sixty (60) day period immediately following each Vesting Date.

(c)                                   Payment of Dividend Equivalent Rights .   Payments with respect to any Dividend Equivalent Rights subject to the Agreement shall be paid or issued at the same time as such dividends or other distributions are paid or issued on Shares, and not more than sixty (60) days after that payment or issuance date.  All rights with respect to, or in connection with, the RSUs shall be exercisable during Grantee’s lifetime only by Grantee.

(d)                                  Dividends, Splits and Voting Rights .  As provided in the Plan, if the Company (i) declares a stock dividend or makes a distribution on Common Stock in Shares, (ii) subdivides or reclassifies outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, or (iii) combines or reclassifies outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares, then the number of RSUs granted under the Agreement shall be proportionately increased or reduced, as applicable, so as to prevent the enlargement or dilution of Grantee’s rights and duties hereunder.  The determination of the Committee regarding such adjustments shall be final and binding.

4.                                       Accelerated Vesting and Forfeiture Events.

(a)                                  Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement .   If Grantee’s Employment is terminated (i) due to Grantee’s death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), or (ii) by Grantee due to Retirement (as defined herein), all of the then unvested RSUs and tandem Dividend Equivalent Rights shall become immediately 100% vested as of such termination of Employment date, which shall be considered the Vesting Date hereunder with respect to such unvested RSUs and tandem Dividend Equivalent Rights.  For purposes of the Agreement, the term “ Retirement ” means Grantee’s termination of Employment for a reason other than Cause on or after attaining Normal Retirement Age. For purposes of the Agreement, the term “ Normal Retirement Age ” means the later of (a) Grantee’s 65th birthday, or (b) the date Grantee has credit for at least twenty (20) years of employment as determined by the Committee.  The Committee, in its discretion, may consider Grantee to have retired on or after Grantee’s Normal Retirement Age if Grantee’s employment terminates after his or her 62nd birthday but prior to satisfying the requirements specified in the preceding sentence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Grantee be considered to have terminated Employment due to Retirement for purposes of the Agreement unless the date of Grantee’s termination from Employment is at least one (1) year after the Grant Date.

(b)                                  Termination Following Change in Control .   If, following the occurrence of a Change in Control and before the second anniversary of such occurrence, (i) Grantee’s Employment is terminated involuntarily, and not for Cause (as defined in the Plan), by the Company or its Affiliates, or (ii) such Employment is terminated by Grantee for Good Reason (as defined in the Plan), all of the then unvested RSUs and tandem Dividend Equivalent Rights shall become immediately 100% vested as of such termination of Employment date, which shall be considered the Vesting Date hereunder with respect to such unvested RSUs and tandem Dividend Equivalent Rights.

4

(c)                                   Termination Due to Cause .   If Grantee’s Employment is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Plan), all of the then outstanding RSUs and tandem Dividend Equivalent Rights, whether or not vested, shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of such termination of Employment date, and shall not vest or be paid in any respect, without the necessity of any notice or other further action.

(d)                                  Other Terminations .  If Grantee’s Employment is terminated for any reason except as otherwise provided above in this Section 4 , all of the then unvested RSUs shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the termination of Employment date, and shall not vest in any respect, without the necessity of any notice or other further action.

5.                                       Grantee’s Representations .  Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Grantee hereby agrees and represents that Grantee will not acquire any Shares, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any Shares to Grantee hereunder, if the issuance of such Shares constitutes a violation by Grantee or the Company of any law or regulation of any governmental authority.  Any determination in this regard that is made by the Committee, in good faith, shall be final and binding.  The rights and obligations of the Company and Grantee hereunder are subject to all applicable laws and regulations.

6.                                       Tax Consequences; No Advice Regarding Grant .  The vesting of the RSUs, the issuance of Shares with respect to vested RSUs, and the payment of an amount equal to any dividend or other distribution on the Shares will have tax consequences if the Grantee is subject to U.S. federal taxation under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“ Code ”).  The grant of RSUs, the vesting of RSUs, the issuance of Shares with respect to RSUs, and the payment of an amount equal to any dividend or other distribution on the Shares, may also have tax consequences if the Grantee is subject to taxation in other jurisdictions.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the acquisition or sale of the Shares that may be issued under the Agreement.

GRANTEE IS HEREBY ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH GRANTEE’S OWN PERSONAL TAX, LEGAL AND FINANCIAL ADVISERS REGARDING GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN AND ANY TAX OR OTHER CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AWARD.

7.                                       Tax Withholding .   To the extent that the receipt of Shares hereunder results in compensation income to Grantee for foreign or domestic federal, state or local income tax purposes that is subject to a tax withholding obligation by the Company, Grantee shall deliver to Company at such time the sum that the Company (or an Affiliate) requires to meet its tax withholding obligations under applicable law or regulation, and, if Grantee fails to do so, the Company (or an Affiliate), in accordance with the Plan, is authorized to (a) withhold from the Shares to be issued pursuant to the Agreement, a number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date the withholding is effectuated that would satisfy the applicable withholding amount; (b) withhold from any cash or other remuneration, then or thereafter payable to Grantee, any tax that is required to be withheld; or (c) sell such number of Shares before their transfer to Grantee as is appropriate to satisfy such tax withholding requirements, before transferring the resulting net number of Shares to Grantee in satisfaction of its obligations under the Agreement.  Dividend Equivalent Right payments shall be subject to withholding for taxes to the extent required for the Company (or an Affiliate) to meet its tax withholding obligations with respect to such cash payments under applicable law or regulation.  In the absence of any election by Grantee, any withholding obligation shall be satisfied pursuant to clause (a) above.

5

To the extent that Grantee is subject to withholding of federal, state, or local income taxes and/or other taxes or social insurance contributions imposed by the country of residence or citizenship of Grantee or the country or residence of the Company or its Subsidiary which has the legal relationship of employer and employee with Grantee or is obligated to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Company’s tax equalization or hypothetical tax policies or specific agreements relating thereto (the “ Employee Taxes ”), Grantee shall, at such time as the value of any Shares or other amounts received pursuant to the Agreement first becomes includable in the gross income of Grantee for such Employee Taxes, or the time that a withholding obligation arises for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Agreement, as applicable, pay to the Company or its designee, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee or its designee regarding payment of, any and all such Employee Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such income and, if applicable, any amounts owed to the Company or its Subsidiaries under its tax equalization or hypothetical tax policies or specific Agreements relating thereto.

Regardless of any action the Company or any of its Subsidiaries take with respect to the Employee Taxes, Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Employee Taxes is and remains Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and a Subsidiary.  Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Employee Taxes in connection with any aspect of this Award, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the RSUs, the receipt of an amount equal to any dividend or other distribution on the Shares during the Restriction Period, the issuance of Shares with respect to vested RSUs, the receipt of any dividends or other distribution on Shares issued pursuant to the Agreement and the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Agreement; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Agreement to reduce or eliminate Grantee’s liability for Employee Taxes or achieve any particular tax result.

The Company may refuse to issue the Shares upon vesting of the RSUs or make any payment under the Agreement if Grantee fails to comply with the obligations in connection with Employee Taxes.

8.                                       Return of Proceeds.   If (a) Grantee engages in an activity that competes with the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries within one (1) year after (i) Grantee’s voluntarily resignation or Retirement from Grantee’s position as an Employee, or (ii) Grantee’s status as an Employee was terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause (either event constituting a “ Termination ” for purposes of this Section 9 ), and (B) RSUs held by Grantee had vested and become payable within one (1) year of the date of Termination; then Grantee shall remit to the Company, or its designee, within five (5) business days of receipt of written demand therefor, an amount in good funds equal to the sum of the Fair Market Value of the Shares issued in the settlement of the RSUs pursuant to the Agreement, if any, computed as of the date of issuance of such Shares.

9.                                       Code Section 409A Compliance.   It is the intention of the Parties that the Agreement is written and administered, and will be interpreted and construed, in a manner such that no amount under the Agreement becomes subject to (a) gross income inclusion under Code Section 409A or (b) interest and additional tax under Code Section 409A (collectively, “ Section 409A Penalties ”), including, where appropriate, the construction of defined terms to have meanings that would not cause the imposition of the Section 409A Penalties.  Accordingly, Grantee consents to any amendment of the Agreement which the Company may reasonably make in furtherance of such intention, and the Company shall promptly provide, or make available to, Grantee a copy of such amendment.  Further, to the extent that any terms of the Agreement are ambiguous, such terms shall be interpreted as necessary to comply with Code Section 409A, or an exemption under Code Section 409A, when applicable.

6

Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, if any benefit provided hereunder would be subject to Section 409A Penalties because the timing of such benefit is not delayed as required by Code Section 409A for a “specified employee” (as defined under Code Section 409A), then if Grantee is on the applicable date a specified employee, any such benefit that Grantee would otherwise be entitled to receive during the first six months following Grantee’s “separation from service” (as defined under Code Section 409A) shall be accumulated and paid, within ten (10) days after the date that is six months following Grantee’s date of “separation from service,” or such earlier date upon which such benefit can be provided under Code Section 409A without being subject to the Section 409A Penalties such as, for example, upon Grantee’s death.

10.                                Data Privacy.   Grantee hereby acknowledges that Grantee’s personal data as described in the Agreement and any other Award materials, may be collected, used and/or transferred in electronic or other form by and among, as applicable, Grantee’s employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in the Plan.  Grantee understands that the Company and Grantee’s employer may hold certain personal information about Grantee, including, but not limited to, Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, compensation, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company or an Affiliate, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Grantee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (individually and collectively, “ Data ”).

Except as provided in Section 3(e)  hereof, if the Grantee incurs a Separation from Service for any reason other than Retirement, Disability, or death during the Performance Period or before the Grantee’s Award has been certified by the Committee, then the Grantee shall forfeit the unpaid portion of this Award and shall not be entitled to receive any payment under the Plan with respect to this Award for such Performance Period. If the Grantee’s Employment is terminated for Cause at any time, any unpaid portion of the Award will immediately be forfeited upon such termination of Employment.

4

Performance Criteria established by the Committee for that Grantee for that Performance Period have been achieved to a level of performance which, as of the date his or her Separation from Service, would cause all (100%) of the Grantee’s targeted amount under this Award to become payable.  In the event of the occurrence of any event that constitutes Good Reason, and in the event that Grantee wishes to resign from his or her employment on the basis of the occurrence of such event, the Grantee shall give written notice of his or her proposed resignation, and the successor corporation shall have a period of thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice to remedy the breach or occurrence giving rise to such proposed resignation.  In the event the successor corporation fails to so remedy said breach or occurrence by expiration of said 30-day period, the Grantee shall be deemed to have terminated his or her Employment for Good Reason pursuant to this Section 3(e)  and shall be treated as if his or her Employment has been terminated without Cause.  Except as provided in Section 3(f) , the Grantee shall receive payment of the amount determined pursuant to this Section 3(e) within sixty (60) days of the date of the Grantee’s Separation from Service.

(f)                                    Specified Employee . Notwithstanding the date of payment specified by Section 3(b)  or 3(e)  above with respect to the amount determined pursuant to such subsection, if the Grantee is a Specified Employee on the date that he or she incurs a Separation from Service then, to the extent required under Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and other authoritative guidance issued thereunder (“ Section 409A ”), payment of that amount shall not be made until the date which is six (6) months after the date that he or she incurs a Separation from Service (the “ Six Month Date ”), or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter that is within 30 days after the Six Month Date.

For purposes of this Section 3(f) , “Specified Employee” shall mean an Employee for each twelve (12)-consecutive month period that begins on any April 1 st  and immediately follows a calendar year during which such Employee was, at any time during that calendar year (i) an officer of the Company or any Subsidiary having annual compensation greater than $175,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code); (ii) a more than five-percent owner of the Company or any Subsidiary; or (iii) a more than one-percent owner of the Company or any Subsidiary having annual compensation from the Company and all Subsidiaries of more than $150,000.  For this purpose, “annual compensation” shall mean annual compensation as defined in Section 415(c)(3) of the Code, which includes amounts contributed by the Company and all Subsidiaries pursuant to a salary reduction agreement which are excludable from the Grantee’s gross income under Section 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 408(p)(2)(A)(i), 457 or 403(b) of the Code, and elective amounts that are not includible in the gross income of the Grantee by reason of Section 132(f)(4) of the Code.  For this purpose, no more than 50 Employees (or, if lesser, the greater of three or ten percent of the Employees) shall be treated as officers.  The constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the Code (or the principles of that section, in the case of an unincorporated Subsidiary) shall apply to determine ownership in each Subsidiary.

5

(b)                                  “ Normal Retirement Age ” means the later of (i) Grantee’s 65th birthday, or (ii) the date Grantee has credit for at least twenty (20) years of employment as determined by the Committee.  The Committee, in its discretion, may consider Grantee to have retired on or after Grantee’s Normal Retirement Age if Grantee’s employment terminates after his or her 62nd birthday but prior to satisfying the requirements specified in the preceding sentence.

(c)                                   “ Separation from Service ” means “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A from the Company and all of its Subsidiaries.

Any question as to whether and when there has been a Separation from Service, and the cause of any termination of Employment, shall be determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and its determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Grantee and all other interested persons.

5.                                       Nature of Grant .  In accepting this Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a)                                  The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time to the extent permitted by the Plan.

(b)                                  The grant of this Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of performance unit awards or other awards, or benefits in lieu of performance unit awards or other awards, even if performance unit awards or other awards have been granted in the past.

(c)                                   All decisions with respect to future grants of Awards or other awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

(d)                                  This Award and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to Employment or be interpreted as forming an Employment or service contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to terminate the Grantee’s Employment or service relationship (if any) at any time.

(e)                                   The Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

(f)                                    This Award and the amount payable pursuant to this Award are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.

(g)                                   This Award and the amount payable pursuant to this Award, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments.

(h)                                  No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of this Award resulting from the Grantee ceasing to provide Employment or other services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not it is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of the Grantee’s employment agreement, if any).  In consideration of the grant of this Award to which the Grantee is otherwise not entitled, the Grantee irrevocably agrees, other than in the event of Company’s breach of this Agreement, to (i) not institute any claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement, (ii) waive the ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and (iii) release the Company and its Subsidiaries from any such claim.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim.

6

(i)                                      Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, this Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have this Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company, nor to be exchanged, cashed out, or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares.

(j)                                     The following provisions apply only if the Grantee is providing services outside the United States:

(i)                                      this Award and amount payable pursuant to this Award are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and

(ii)                                   the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of this Award or any amounts due to the Grantee with respect to the settlement of this Award.

6.                                       Tax Withholding .  Awards under the Plan will be subject to withholding as required by law.  To the extent that the Grantee is subject to withholding of federal, state, or local income taxes and/or other taxes or social insurance contributions imposed by the country of residence or citizenship of the Grantee or the country or residence of the Company or its Subsidiary which has the legal relationship of employer and employee with the Grantee, or is obligated to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Company’s tax equalization or hypothetical tax policies or specific agreements relating thereto (the “ Employee Taxes ”), the Grantee shall, at such time as (i) the payment under this Award or other amounts received pursuant to this Award first becomes includable in the gross income of the Grantee for such Employee Taxes, or (ii) a withholding obligation arises for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to this Award, as applicable, pay to the Company or its designee, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee or its designee regarding payment of, any and all such Employee Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such income and, if applicable, any amounts owed to the Company or its Subsidiaries under its tax equalization or hypothetical tax policies or specific agreements relating thereto.

Regardless of any action the Company or any of its Subsidiaries take with respect to the Employee Taxes, the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Employee Taxes is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and a Subsidiary.  The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Employee Taxes in connection with any aspect of this Award, including, but not limited to, the grant of or lapse of the restrictions on this Award and any waiver of the forfeiture provisions applicable to this Award; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Employee Taxes or achieve any particular tax result.

7

Subject in each case to approval by the Committee or its designee and compliance with all applicable law, the Grantee may elect to have any withholding obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) paying to the Company or a Subsidiary the amount of Employee Taxes in cash, check or other cash equivalent; and/or (ii) having the Company withhold from any amount payable under this Award or from any cash compensation payable to the Grantee.

The Company may refuse to issue payment under this Award if the Grantee fails to comply with the obligations in connection with Employee Taxes.

7.                                       Return of Proceeds .  If (a) the Grantee engages in an activity that competes with the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries within one (1) year after (i) the Grantee’s voluntarily resignation or retirement from his or her position as an Employee, or (ii) his or her status as an Employee was terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause (either event constituting a “Termination” for purposes of this Section 7 ), and (b) this Award held by the Grantee had vested and become payable within one (1) year of the date of Termination; then the Grantee shall remit to the Company, or its designee, within five (5) business days of receipt of written demand therefor, an amount in good funds equal to the lump sum cash payment received by the Grantee in settlement of this Award.

8.                                       Data Privacy .  The Grantee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award materials by and among, as applicable, the Grantee’s employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

The Grantee understands that the Company and the Grantee’s employer may hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“ Data ”).

The Grantee understands that Data will be transferred to Merrill Lynch and Computershare or such other stock plan service providers as may be selected by the Company in the future, which are assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  The Grantee understands that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country.  If the Grantee resides outside the United States, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting the Grantee’s local human resources representative.  The Grantee authorizes the Company, Merrill Lynch, Computershare and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.  The Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.  If the Grantee resides outside the United States, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Grantee’s local human resources representative.  Further, the Grantee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Grantee a Award or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards.  Therefore, the Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of the Grantee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Grantee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

9.                                       Electronic Delivery and Participation .  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.  The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

10.                                Language .  If the Grantee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will take precedence.

11.                                Notices .  Notices delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Company at its principal office (Attention: General Counsel and Secretary), and to the Grantee at such address as the Grantee shall designate in writing to the Company.

12.                                Binding Effect and Interpretation .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors to the Company or to the Grantee. In the event of conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.  All undefined capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan.  The Board or the Committee shall have the authority to construe the terms of this Agreement, and such determinations shall be final and binding on the Grantee and the Company and its Subsidiaries.  The Grantee may obtain a copy of the Plan on the Merrill Lynch Benefits OnLine ®  website or by contacting the Corporate Compensation Department in Houston.

13.                                Severability .  The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

14.                                Waiver .  The Grantee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Grantee or any other Grantee.

15.                                Governing Law .  This Agreement and all actions hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof.

16.                                Appendix .  Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, this Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Appendix to this Agreement for the Grantee’s country.  Moreover, if the Grantee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Grantee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with laws of the country where the Grantee resides or facilitate the administration of the Plan.  The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.

9

17.                                Imposition of Other Requirements .  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on participation in the Plan, on this Award and on any Shares received as payment under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with laws of the country where the Grantee resides or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

18.                                Section 409A .  The Plan and this Agreement, and the benefits provided hereunder, are intended to comply with Section 409A to the extent applicable thereto, or with an exemption from the application of Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Plan and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed consistent with this intent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to assume any increased economic burden in connection therewith.

The Grantee consents to any amendment of this Agreement which the Company may reasonably make in furtherance of such intention, and the Company shall promptly provide, or make available to, the Grantee a copy of such amendment.  Further, to the extent that any terms of the Agreement are ambiguous, such terms shall be interpreted as necessary to comply with, or an exemption under, Section 409A when applicable.

Although the Company and the Plan Administrator intend to administer the Plan and this Agreement so that they will comply with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent applicable, or with an exemption from the application of Section 409A, neither the Company nor the Plan Administrator represents or warrants that the Plan or this Agreement will comply with Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or foreign law.  Neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers, shall be liable to any Grantee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Grantee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Grantee may owe as a result of participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect any Grantee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Section 409A.  For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A, each separately identified amount to which a Grantee is entitled shall be treated as a separate payment.

(b)                                  Retirement . Subject to Section 3(c)(ii)  below, if the Grantee incurs a Retirement (as defined in Section 4 below) during the Performance Period, this Award shall be determined on a pro rata basis for that Performance Period by (i) comparing the actual level of performance to the specific targets related to the Performance Criteria established by the Committee for that Grantee for that Performance Period, and then (ii) multiplying that amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period that had elapsed as of the date of the Grantee’s Separation from Service and the denominator of which is the total number of days in that Performance Period.  Except as provided in Section 3(g) , the Grantee shall receive payment of the amount determined pursuant to this Section 3(b)  within sixty (60) days of the date of the Grantee’s Separation from Service (as defined below).

(c)                                   Separation from Service Without Cause or for Good Reason .

(i)                                      Subject to Section 3(c)(ii)  below, if the Grantee incurs a Separation from Service as a result of a termination of employment by the Company without Cause (as defined below) or by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined below), then the Grantee shall become vested in 20% of the Award upon such termination and shall receive the payment due under that 20% of the Award based on the actual level of performance as compared to the specific targets related to the Performance Criteria established by the Committee for the relevant Performance Period, which shall be paid at the time and in the same form as the Award would have been paid if the Grantee had not incurred a Separation from Service before the date of payment.

(ii)                                   If Grantee incurs a Separation from Service as a result of a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason at such time as Grantee is also eligible to incur a Retirement pursuant to Section 3(b), Grantee’s Award shall be vested and paid in accordance with whichever of Section 3(b)  or Section 3(c)(i) would result in the larger payment to Grantee.

(iii)                                For purposes of this Agreement, “ Cause ” is defined as a termination of employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason enumerated in Section 18.1(a) through (l) of the employment agreement entered into between the Grantee and the Company dated May 3, 2014 (the “ Employment Agreement ”).

(d)                                  Death or Disability .

(c)                                   All decisions with respect to future grants of Awards or other awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

(d)                                  This Award and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to Employment or be interpreted as forming an Employment or service contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to terminate the Grantee’s Employment or service relationship (if any) at any time.

(e)                                   The Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

(f)                                    This Award and the amount payable pursuant to this Award are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.

(h)                                  No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of this Award resulting from the Grantee ceasing to provide Employment or other services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not it is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of the Grantee’s employment agreement, if any).  In consideration of the grant of this Award to which the Grantee is otherwise not entitled, the Grantee irrevocably agrees, other than in the event of Company’s breach of this Agreement, to (i) not institute any claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement, (ii) waive the ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and (iii) release the Company and its Subsidiaries from any such claim.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim.

(i)                                      Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, this Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have this Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company, nor to be exchanged, cashed out, or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares.

6.                                       Tax Withholding .  Awards under the Plan will be subject to withholding as required by law.  To the extent that the Grantee is subject to withholding of federal, state, or local income taxes and/or other taxes or social insurance contributions imposed by the country of residence or citizenship of the Grantee or the country or residence of the Company or its Subsidiary which has the legal relationship of employer and employee with the Grantee, or is obligated to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Company’s tax equalization or hypothetical tax policies or specific agreements relating thereto (the “ Employee Taxes ”), the Grantee shall, at such time as (i) the payment under this Award or other amounts received pursuant to this Award first becomes includable in the gross income of the Grantee for such Employee Taxes or (ii) a withholding obligation arises for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to this Award, as applicable, pay to the Company or its designee, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee or its designee regarding payment of, any and all such Employee Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such income and, if applicable, any amounts owed to the Company or its Subsidiaries under its tax equalization or hypothetical tax policies or specific agreements relating thereto.

Regardless of any action the Company or any of its Subsidiaries take with respect to the Employee Taxes, the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Employee Taxes is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and a Subsidiary.  The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Employee Taxes in connection with any aspect of this Award, including, but not limited to, the grant of or lapse of the restrictions on this Award and any waiver of the forfeiture provisions applicable to this Award; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Employee Taxes or achieve any particular tax result.

Subject in each case to approval by the Committee or its designee and compliance with all applicable law, the Grantee may elect to have any withholding obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) paying to the Company or a Subsidiary the amount of Employee Taxes in cash, check or other cash equivalent; and/or (ii) having the Company withhold from any amount payable under this Award or from any cash compensation payable to the Grantee.

The Company may refuse to issue payment under this Award if the Grantee fails to comply with the obligations in connection with Employee Taxes.

7.                                       Return of Proceeds .  If (a) the Grantee engages in an activity that competes with the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries within one (1) year after (i) the Grantee’s voluntarily resignation or retirement from his or her position as an Employee, or (ii) his or her status as an Employee was terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause (either event constituting a “Termination” for purposes of this Section 7 ), and (b) this Award held by the Grantee had vested and become payable within one (1) year of the date of Termination; then the Grantee shall remit to the Company, or its designee, within five (5) business days of receipt of written demand therefor, an amount in good funds equal to the lump sum cash payment received by the Grantee in settlement of this Award.

8.                                       Data Privacy .  The Grantee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award materials by and among, as applicable, the Grantee’s employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

The Grantee understands that the Company and the Grantee’s employer may hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“ Data ”).

The Grantee understands that Data will be transferred to Merrill Lynch and Computershare or such other stock plan service providers as may be selected by the Company in the future, which are assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  The Grantee understands that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country ( e.g ., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country.  If the Grantee resides outside the United States, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting the Grantee’s local human resources representative.  The Grantee authorizes the Company, Merrill Lynch, Computershare and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.  The Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.  If the Grantee resides outside the United States, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Grantee’s local human resources representative.  Further, the Grantee understands that he is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke his consent, his employment status or service and career with the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Grantee a Award or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards.  Therefore, the Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing his consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of the Grantee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Grantee understands that he may contact his local human resources representative.

9.                                       Electronic Delivery and Participation .  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.  The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

14.                                Waiver .  The Grantee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Grantee or any other Grantee.

15.                                Governing Law .  This Agreement and all actions hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof.
