TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK OPTION
1.General Conditions. Please carefully review all of the provisions of the Plan. In addition to the conditions set forth in the Plan, the Option is contingent upon satisfying the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
2.Vesting. The Option will vest in three equal tranches over a period of three years (one-third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Grant Date), subject to any acceleration provisions contained in the Plan or otherwise set forth in this Agreement and the Optionee’s continuous employment or service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the Grant Date through the applicable vesting date (each date on which a portion of the Option will vest pursuant to this Agreement, a “Vesting Date”).
3.Maximum Term. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Option will expire at the close of business on the final trading day immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.
4.Exercise Restrictions. Subject to any country-specific variations, the vested portion of the Option may be exercised at any time after its applicable Vesting Date and prior to the expiration of the Option, provided that at the time of the exercise all of the conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement have been met. No portion of the Option may be exercised prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date or after the expiration of the maximum term set forth in Section 3, above.
5.Accelerated Vesting Events. The Option awarded pursuant to this Agreement will vest according to the schedule set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, subject to the Optionee’s continuous service with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries through each applicable Vesting Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that the Optionee has been in continuous service with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries since the Grant Date through the date of termination of his or her employment or service, (a) the Option shall remain in effect and continue to vest according to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, irrespective of the continuous service limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5, upon the occurrence of (i) the Optionee’s termination of employment by reason of Retirement in Good Standing (as defined in Section 19, below) or (ii) the Optionee’s termination of employment or service by reason of Disability (as defined in Section 19, below), and (b) the Option shall immediately vest upon the occurrence of (i) a “Change in Control Termination” (as defined in Section 19, below) in accordance with Section 4.2(h)(ii) of the Plan or (ii) the Optionee’s termination of employment or service by reason of death.
6.Exercise Period. The Option will normally terminate on the earlier of (i) the date of the expiration of the Option set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement or (ii) the 90th day after severance of the Optionee’s employment relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary, for any reason, for or without Cause. Whether an authorized leave of absence, or an absence for military or government service, constitutes severance of the Optionee’s employment or service relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary will be determined by the Committee administering the Plan at the time of the event. However, if before the expiration of the Option, the Optionee’s employment relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates as a result of Retirement in Good Standing, Change in Control Termination, or Disability, the Option will remain exercisable in accordance with its terms as if Optionee remained in the employment or service of the Company or a Subsidiary, and in the event of the Optionee’s death while employed by or providing service to the Company or any Subsidiary, the Option may be exercised by the
2

executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate for up to three years following the date of the Optionee’s death, but in no event later than the last day of the maximum term of the Option set forth in Section 3.
7.Method of Exercise. At the time or times when the Optionee wishes to exercise the Option, the Optionee shall be required to follow the procedures established for doing so, which the Committee may revise from time to time. Notice of exercise of the Option must be accompanied by a payment equal to the applicable Option exercise price plus all Tax-Related Items (as defined below) required to be withheld, collected or accounted for, if any, such amount to be paid in cash or by tendering, either by actual delivery of shares of Stock or by attestation, shares of Stock that are acceptable to the Committee, such shares to be valued at Fair Market Value as of the day the shares are tendered, or paid in any combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Committee. To the extent permitted by applicable law and the policies adopted from time to time by the Committee, the Optionee may elect to pay the exercise price through the contemporaneous sale by a third party broker of shares of Stock acquired upon exercise yielding net sales proceeds equal to the exercise price and any withholding Tax-Related Items required to be withheld, collected or account for and the remission of those sale proceeds to the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may require payment in a particular or different method of exercise than those specified in this Section 7, may allow the Optionee to exercise the Option only by means of a cashless exercise (either a cashless “sell all” exercise or a cashless “sell-to-cover” exercise) as it shall determine in its sole discretion, or may require the Optionee to sell any shares of Stock the Optionee acquired under the Plan immediately or within a specified period following the Optionee’s termination of employment (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on the Optionee’s behalf).
8.No Assignment. No right or interest of the Optionee in the Option may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated or be made subject to any lien, obligation or liability of the Optionee other than as provided in this Section 8. The Option may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
9.Nature of Option. In accepting the Option, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
a.the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and the Company can amend, modify, suspend, cancel or terminate it at any time, to the extent permitted under the Plan;
b.this Option and any other awards under the Plan are voluntary and occasional and do not create any contractual or other right to receive future options, awards or benefits in lieu of any options or awards, even if similar options or awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;
c.all determinations with respect to any future options or awards, including, but not limited to, the times when options or awards are made, the amount of the options or awards and other conditions attached to the options or awards, will be at the sole discretion of the Company and/or the Committee;
d.participation in this Plan or program is voluntary;
e.the Option and any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan upon exercise of the Option are extraordinary items and do not constitute compensation of any kind (and do not give a right of claim of any kind) for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any of its
3

Subsidiaries (including, as applicable, the entity employing the Optionee or to which the Optionee provides services, (the “Employer”) and which are outside the scope of the Optionee’s employment or service contract, if any;
f.this Option, and any income derived therefrom, are not paid in lieu of, and are not intended to replace, any pension rights or compensation and are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, life or accident insurance benefits, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
g.for the purposes of the Option, unless otherwise specified by the Company or any Affiliated Company, the Optionee’s employment or service will be considered terminated as of the date the Optionee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Subsidiary (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later to be found invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Optionee’s right to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period or period during with the Optionee is in receipt of pay in lieu of such notice or severance pay (e.g., the Optionee’s period of service would not include any contractual, statutory or common law notice period or period during which the Optionee is in the receipt of pay in lieu of such notice or severance pay or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively providing services for the purposes of the Option (including whether the Optionee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);
h.the future value of the underlying Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the shares of Stock subject to the Option do not increase in value following the Grant Date, the Option will have no value. If the Optionee exercises the Option and obtains the shares of Stock, the value of those shares of Stock acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Option exercise price;
i.no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from the termination of the Optionee’s employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which the Optionee is otherwise not entitled, the Optionee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Optionee 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;
j.the Option and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or services contract with the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company, as applicable, to terminate the Optionee’s employment or service relationship
4

(if any). The right of the Company or Employer to terminate at will the Optionee’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved;
k.if the Optionee is providing services outside the United States, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary nor any Affiliated Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Stock acquired upon exercise; and
l.in the event of any conflict between communications to the Optionee by the Company of the terms of this Agreement or the records of any third party administrator and the Plan, the Plan will prevail.
10.Responsibility for Taxes.
a.Irrespective of any action taken by the Company or the Employer, the Optionee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, social security, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the responsibility of the Optionee or the Optionee’s estate (as applicable) and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Optionee acknowledges and understands that the requirements with respect to the Tax-Related Items may change from time to time as applicable laws or interpretations change.
b.Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company, the Employer, and their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items withholding obligations by one or a combination of the following:
i.withholding from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer, or any other payment of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; or
ii.withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or
iii.retention of or withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value that is sufficient to satisfy the Tax-Related Items.
The Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates.
c. Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 10(b) of the Agreement, if the Optionee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated
5

thereunder, the Company will withhold in shares of Stock unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable law or has materially adverse accounting or tax consequences, in which case, the withholding obligation may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods set forth in Section 10(b)(i) and (ii) above.
d. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, the Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full amount of Stock subject to the Option, notwithstanding that an amount of Stock was retained solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
e. In addition, the Optionee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock, if the Optionee fails to comply with the Optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
f. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the issuance of Stock upon exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents following the issuance of Stock upon the exercise of the Option; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Optionee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
11.Prohibited Activities; Post-Employment Covenants; Additional Remedies of Clawback and Recoupment.
a.Notwithstanding any other term of the Agreement or any prior agreement to the contrary, in order to be eligible to benefit from any portion of the Option, the Optionee must have entered into an agreement containing restrictive covenants concerning limitations of the Optionee’s behavior both during employment or service and following termination of employment or service that is satisfactory to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries. In the event the Optionee engages in any action that violates any such restrictive covenants at any time during the term of the Agreement, the Option shall be forfeited. The Optionee further agrees that to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon demand by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, the Optionee will forfeit, return or repay the “Benefits and Proceeds” (as defined below) in the event the Optionee breaches any post-employment or post-service covenant with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries.

iii. to the extent the Optionee has not received any Stock in satisfaction of this Option, all of the Optionee’s remaining rights, title or interest in the Option.
12.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Optionee consents and agrees to electronic delivery of any Plan documents, proxy materials, annual reports or other related documents, and to the electronic review, confirmation and acceptance procedures governing this Option. The Optionee consents and agrees that any such electronic procedures may be effected by a third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative services related to the Plan, including any program adopted under the Plan. The Optionee further agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may provide personal information regarding the Optionee and any award of Options under the Plan, included but not limited to this Option, to any third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative or brokerage services related to the Plan.
13.Data Privacy.
a.To the extent consent is required, the Optionee hereby consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Optionee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Option materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company any Subsidiary and any Affiliated Company for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Employer and the Company will be joint data controllers in relation to the Optionee’s personal data.
b.The Optionee understands that the Employer, the Company, any Subsidiary and any Affiliated Company may hold certain personal information about the Optionee, including but not limited to his or her name, home address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, social security number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company and details of all Options or any other entitlements to shares of Stock awarded, cancelled, vested, unvested, or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering or managing the Plan. Certain Data may also constitute “sensitive personal data” within the meaning of applicable local law. Such Data include, but are not limited to, the information provided above and any changes thereto and other appropriate personal and financial data about the Optionee. The Optionee hereby provides explicit consent to the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary and any Affiliated Company to process any such Data to the extent it is necessary for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.
c.The Optionee understands that Data will be transferred, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, to such equity plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the
7

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

15.Committee. The Optionee hereby agrees that any change, interpretation, determination or modification of this Agreement by the Committee shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and on all persons including the Company and the Optionee; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or modification of the Plan which affects the Option made hereby, the Committee shall have determined that such amendment or modification is in the best interests of the Optionee of such Option.
16.Modification of Agreement. If any of the terms of this Agreement may, in the opinion of the Company, conflict or be inconsistent with any applicable law or regulation of any governmental agency having jurisdiction, the Company reserves the right to modify this Agreement to be consistent with applicable laws or regulations. If all or any part or application of the provisions of this Agreement are held or determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action between Optionee and the Company, each and all of the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. No change or
8

modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the party against with enforcement is sought, except where specifically provided to the contrary herein.
17.No Advice Regarding Grant. None of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company is providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Stock. The Optionee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
18.Entire Agreement; Severability. The Plan and this Agreement set forth the entire understanding between the Optionee, the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary regarding the acquisition of the Stock and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements pertaining to this Option.

APPENDIX A
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Sysco Corporation 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to the Optionee under the Plan if the Optionee works in one of the countries listed below. If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or if the Optionee transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions herein will be applicable to the Optionee.
Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the same meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement, as applicable.
Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other tax or legal issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of ____ 2020. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date when the Option vests, Stock are issued to the Optionee and/or the Optionee sells Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Optionee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Optionee’s country may apply to his or her situation. Furthermore, additional privacy laws may apply in the Optionee’s country.
Finally, if the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or if the Optionee transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Option Date, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Optionee in the same manner.
EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”) / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”)/UNITED KINGDOM (“UK”)
Terms and Conditions
Data Privacy
If the Optionee resides and/or is employed in the EU/EEA/UK, Section 10 of the Agreement shall be replaced with the following:
The Company, being the applicable data controller, is located at 1390 Enclave Parkway, Houston, Texas 77077, U.S.A. and grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Affiliated Companies in its sole discretion. The Optionee should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices.
A-1

(a)Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Optionee is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses certain personally-identifiable information about the Optionee for the legitimate interest of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and generally administering equity awards; specifically, including the Optionee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Optionee or the Employer. In granting the Awards under the Plan, the Company will collect the Optionee’s personal data for purposes of allocating shares of Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and use of the Optionee’s personal data is that it is necessary for the performance of the Company’s contractual obligations under the Plan and performance of the Agreement. The Optionee’s refusal to provide personal data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, the Optionee voluntarily acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of the Optionee’s personal data as described herein. The Company shall implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the Optionee’s personal data.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers participant data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company shall ensure that this, and any subsequent, administrator contractually agree to comply with legally required data protection obligations to protect the Optionee’s personal data. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share the Optionee’s data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for the Optionee to receive and trade shares of Stock. The Optionee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to the Optionee if the Optionee’s personal data is transferred to the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Optionee’s personal data to the United States is the performance of contractual obligations to the Optionee and it shall use the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.
(d)Data Retention. The Company will use the Optionee’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Optionee’s personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the Optionee’s data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.
Data Subject Rights. The Optionee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Optionee’s country of residence. For example, the Optionee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Optionee’s country, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of all recipients of the Optionee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Optionee’s rights or to exercise the Optionee’s rights, the Optionee should contact his or her local human resources department.

Section 9(g) shall be replaced with the following:

Offer Document
The Optionee must accept the Option in writing either (i) within 60 days of the offer (for tax at offer), or (ii) after 60 days of the offer (for tax at exercise) by completing the below Belgium Offer Document. The Optionee should consult a personal tax advisor with respect to completing the Offer Document.
Notifications

The Optionee is required to report any taxable income attributable to the Option on his or her annual tax return. Additionally, Belgian residents are required to report any security or bank accounts (including brokerage accounts) maintained outside of Belgium on their annual tax return.

Tax Information
This section is intended to advise the Optionee of potential tax impact of certain actions or inactions under Belgian law.

The Optionee is urged to consult their personal tax advisers when considering all matters regarding the Option grant set forth in the Agreement.
A-3

Options accepted in writing within 60 days following the offer date
At grant: Options that are accepted in writing within 60 days following the offer date are taxable on the 60th day following the date of the offer. The taxable benefit will be calculated as a percentage of the closing market price of the underlying shares on the last trading day preceding the date of offer, plus any excess of the closing market price over the exercise price. The Optionee acknowledges that these taxes are required to be paid even if the Option is later forfeited for any reason, including without limitation termination of employment, and/or the Optionee is not actually able to realize value from the Option. The tax paid may not be refunded by the Belgian revenue agency. The Belgian Employer will report the taxable amount for the year in which the 60th day after the offer date occurs, and will withhold income tax and social security, if any, on the taxable amount.
At exercise: Generally, no taxation. However, if a written undertaking was made at the time of the offer not to exercise the Option prior to the end of the third calendar year following the calendar year of the offer date and the Optionee breaches the written undertaking, additional tax will be due at exercise. Further, if shares of Stock are immediately sold upon exercise to cover the exercise price, a stock exchange tax may be payable (see below).
At sale: Generally, the Optionee will not be subject to capital gains taxation at the time of sale of the shares of Stock. However, the sale proceeds will likely be subject to a stock exchange tax. If the Optionee’s shares of Stock are held by a Belgian financial intermediary at the time of sale, that intermediary may withhold the stock exchange tax. If the stock exchange tax is not withheld, the Optionee will be responsible for filing a stock exchange tax return and paying the stock exchange tax.
Social security: The Option should not be subject to social security contributions, unless the Option is “in the money” as of the offer date.
Options accepted after the 60th day following the offer date
At grant: In principle, under current guidance from the Belgian tax authorities, no Belgian tax consequences.
At exercise: According to current guidance from the Belgian Minister of Finance, Options that are accepted after the 60th day following the offer date are not subject to taxation at grant, but to taxation at exercise. The taxable benefit is the difference between the actual value of the shares of Stock at exercise less the exercise price. The Belgian Employer will report the taxable benefit and withhold income tax and social insurance contributions at the time of exercise. The Optionee will also need to report the income and pay any taxes that are due. Further, if shares of Stock are immediately sold upon exercise to cover the exercise price, a stock exchange tax may be due (see below).
At sale: Generally, the Optionee will not be subject to capital gains taxation at the time of sale of the shares of Stock. However, the sale proceeds will likely be subject to a stock exchange tax. If the Optionee’s shares of Stock are held by a Belgian financial intermediary at the time of sale, that intermediary may withhold the stock exchange tax. If the stock exchange tax is not withheld, the Optionee will be responsible for filing a stock exchange tax return and paying the applicable stock exchange tax.
Social security: Social security contributions will be due on the Option income at the time of exercise.
Declining Options
If the Optionee declines the Option, no tax will be owed at any time, but the Option will be declared null and void.
Special note for international service associates

Individuals resident in Belgium who are on international assignment under a Company or an Affiliated Company program are requested to accept the Option after 60 days of the date of offer.

Discretionary Nature of the Plan
By accepting the Option grant, the Optionee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.
The Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Optionee understands that the Option is granted on the assumption and condition that the Option and the shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Optionee understands that this grant would not be made to the Optionee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the 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, the Option grant shall be null and void.
The Optionee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Option grant, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, any unvested Option as of the date the Optionee ceases active employment, and any vested portion of the Option not exercised within the post-termination exercise period set out in the Agreement, will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Stock or to any amount of indemnification in the event of termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a termination of employment on the Option.
