Award.  The Company hereby grants to the Optionee, an Option to purchase the number of Shares set forth in this Agreement, at the Exercise Price per Share set forth in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee under the Plan as a separate incentive and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for his or her services, an Award of Options as of the Grant Date specified above, subject to all of the terms and conditions in the Agreement and the Plan. No fractional Shares nor dividends or dividend equivalents will be issued in connection with the Option. For purposes of this Agreement, if the Optionee is not employed by the Company, “Employer” means the subsidiary or affiliate that employs the Optionee.  2.  Vesting. Except as may otherwise be set forth in this Agreement or in the Plan, Options awarded to the Optionee shall not vest until the Optionee continues to be actively employed with the Company or a subsidiary for the periods required to satisfy the vesting conditions. Further, during any approved leave of absence (and without limiting the application of any other rules governing leaves of absence that the Committee may approve from time to time pursuant to the Plan), to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee shall have discretion to provide that the vesting of the Options shall be frozen as of the first day of the leave (or as of any subsequent day during such leave, as applicable) and shall not resume until and unless the Optionee returns to active employment prior to the Expiration Date of the Options. 3. Exercise of Option. (a) Right to Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in this Agreement and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. (b) Method and Time of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by any method permitted by the Plan and this Agreement that is made available from time to time by the external third party administrator of the Options. Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded. The Administrator may require the Optionee to take any reasonable action in order to comply with any such rules or regulations. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares. (c) Acknowledgment of Potential Securities Law Restrictions. Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covers the Shares issued upon exercise of an Option, the Administrator may require that the Optionee agree in writing to acquire such Shares for investment and not for public resale or distribution, unless and until the Shares subject to the Options are registered under the Securities Act. The Committee may also require the Optionee to acknowledge that the Optionee shall not sell or transfer such Shares except in compliance with all applicable laws and may apply such other restrictions as it deems appropriate. The Optionee acknowledges that the U.S. federal securities laws prohibit trading in the stock of the Company by persons who are in possession of material, non-public information, and also acknowledges and understands the other restrictions set forth in Section 26 of the Agreement. (d) Automatic Exercise Upon Expiration Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than this Section), on the last trading day on which all or a portion of the

4 outstanding Option may be exercised, if as of the close of trading on such day the then Fair Market Value of a Share exceeds the per share Exercise Price of the Option by at least $.01 (such expiring portion of the Option that is so in-the-money, an “Auto-Exercise Eligible Option”),the Optionee will be deemed to have automatically exercised such Auto-Exercise Eligible Option (to the extent it has not previously been exercised, forfeited or terminated, and after there has been specific and unanswered follow up communication requests with the Optionee, as determined by the Company in its discretion) as of the close of trading in accordance with the provisions of this Section. In the event of an automatic exercise pursuant to this Section, the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued to the Optionee upon such automatic exercise of the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option in an amount necessary to satisfy (1) the Optionee’s Exercise Price obligation for the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option, and (2) up to the maximum amount (or such other rate that will not cause adverse accounting consequences for the Company) of tax required to be withheld in the applicable jurisdiction(s), if any, arising upon the automatic exercise, in each case based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the close of trading on the date of exercise. The Optionee may notify the Plan record-keeper in writing in advance that the Optionee does not wish for the Auto-Exercise Eligible Option to be exercised. This Section shall not apply to the Option to the extent that this Section causes the Option to fail to qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable law. In its discretion, the Company may determine to cease automatically exercising Options at any time. 4. Termination of Employment or Service. (a) Forfeiture of Unvested Options Upon Termination of Service, Other than Death, Disability, Qualifying or Early Retirement, or for Cause. In the event that Optionee’s employment by or service to the Company or the Employer is terminated (“Termination of Service”) for any reason other than death, Disability (as defined in the Plan), Qualifying or Early Retirement (as defined below), and the Options are not yet fully vested as of the Termination Date (as defined below), then any unvested Options shall be forfeited immediately upon such Termination Date, subject to Section 17 of the Plan. In this event, the Optionee will have a period of ninety days from the Termination of Service to exercise any vested Options. For purposes of this Award, the Optionee's employment or service with the Company or the Employer will be considered terminated as of the date the Optionee is no longer actively providing services to the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or otherwise providing services or the terms of the Optionee’s employment or other service agreement, if any). Unless the Company determines otherwise, the date of Termination of Service for purposes of this Award will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Optionee’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or otherwise providing services or the terms of the Optionee’s employment or other service agreement, if any). The Committee or its delegate shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Award (including whether the Optionee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). (b) Termination of Employment or Service Due to Death or Disability. In the event of a Termination of Service due to death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), any unvested Option as of the date of the Optionee’s death or Disability will immediately vest, including any unvested Options held by a Optionee who was eligible for continued vesting following a Qualifying Retirement or prorated vesting following an Early Retirement. In the event of Termination of Service due to death, the Optionee’s beneficiaries or heirs will have a period of one year from the Termination of Service to exercise any vested Options. In the event of Termination of Service due to Disability, any vested Options will remain exercisable until the Expiration Date.

5 (c) Termination of Employment or Service for Cause. In the event of a Termination of Service by the Company for Cause, all unvested and vested Options will be forfeited immediately. (d) Termination of Employment or Service due to a Qualifying or Early Retirement. (i) In the event of a Qualifying Retirement on or after October 1st of this year, the unvested Options under this Award will continue to vest as if the Optionee remained actively employed by the Company, the Employer, or any subsidiary or affiliate. Upon the Optionee's Termination of Service with the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate following the Optionee's Qualifying Retirement, the Options will continue to vest as if the Optionee remained actively employed by the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate and any vested Options will remain exercisable until the Expiration Date. For purposes of the foregoing, to be a “Qualifying Retirement”, the following criteria must be met at the time of Termination of Service: • The Optionee has reached age 57; • The Optionee has rendered 10 years of service to the Company and its subsidiary or affiliates; and • The Termination of Service must not be due to “Cause” as defined in the Plan and not due to death or Disability. During the entire period of continued vesting upon Qualifying Retirement, the Optionee remains subject to the Policy as defined in Section 8 below, and if the Company determines after Termination of Service that circumstances that would have constituted Cause exists (or existed) vesting shall immediately cease and all outstanding Awards shall be forfeited. The Optionee also agrees that the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 7 below are extended during the entirety of the Optionee’s continued vesting following a Qualifying Retirement, and that any breach of such covenants will immediately and retroactively result in the forfeiture of the Options. (ii) In the event of an Early Retirement on or after the completion of one year since the Grant Date, the unvested Options with less than twelve months remaining from the vest date under this Award will be prorated for the time the Optionee remains actively employed by the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate during the entire vesting period. The unvested Options with more than twelve months remaining from the vest date shall be forfeited immediately upon such Termination Date, subject to Section 17 of the Plan. Upon the Optionee's Termination of Service with the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate following the Optionee's Early Retirement, the prorated Options will immediately vest. For purposes of the foregoing, to be an “Early Retirement”, the following criteria must be met at the time of Termination of Service: • The Optionee has a combined age and years of service to the Company and its subsidiary or affiliates equal to 67 years; • The Optionee has reached age 55; • The Optionee has rendered 5 years of service to the Company and its subsidiary or affiliates; and • The Termination of Service must not be due to “Cause” as defined in the Plan and not due to death or Disability. During the entire period of prorated vesting upon Early Retirement, the Optionee remains subject to the Policy as defined in Section 8 below, and if the Company determines after Termination of Service that circumstances that would have constituted Cause exists (or existed) vesting shall immediately cease and all outstanding Awards shall be forfeited. The Optionee also agrees that the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 7 below are extended during the entirety of the Optionee’s prorated vesting following an

6 Early Retirement, and that any breach of such covenants will immediately and retroactively result in the forfeiture of the Options. 5. Method of Exercise. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following methods (or a combination thereof): (a) through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure under which the exercise notice directs that the Shares issued upon the exercise be delivered, either in certificate form or in book entry form, to a licensed broker acceptable to the Company as the agent for the Optionee and at the time the Shares are delivered to the broker, either in certificate form or in book entry form, the broker will tender to the Company cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Company and equal to the aggregate Exercise Price; (b) cash, delivered to the external third party administrator of the Options in any methodology permitted by such third party administrator; (c) upon the Committee's approval, surrender of other Shares owned by the Optionee which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the exercised Options; or (d) upon the Committee's approval, through a reduction in the number of Shares issued to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Option with a value, based on their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, equal to the aggregate Exercise Price; 6. Responsibility for Taxes & Withholding.   Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance or social security, payroll 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”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Optionee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer.  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 Options, including, but not limited to, the grant, exercise of the Options, the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of any Award to reduce or eliminate Optionee's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Optionee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.  The Optionee agrees as a condition of his or her participation in the Plan to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Company, or their respective agents, will withhold Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options, unless the Company, or if different, the Employer, at their discretion, permit the obligations to be satisfied with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:  (a)              withholding from the Optionee's wages/salary or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; or

7  (b)             withholding from proceeds of the Shares acquired upon exercise of the Options either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Optionee's behalf pursuant to this authorization).  Notwithstanding the above, if the Optionee is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, then the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (a) and (b) above.  To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates (but not in excess of the maximum amount permitted for tax withholding under applicable law).  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the exercised Options, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Optionee's participation in the Plan.  The Optionee shall pay to the Company, or if different, the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company, or if different, the Employer, may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee's participation in the Plan that will not for any reason be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Optionee fails to comply with the Optionee's obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. By accepting this grant of Options, the Optionee expressly consents to the methods of withholding Tax-Related Items by the Company, or if different, the Employer as set forth herein, including the withholding of Shares and the withholding from the Optionee's wages/salary or other amounts payable to the Optionee.  All other Tax-Related Items related to the Options and any Shares delivered in satisfaction thereof are the Optionee's sole responsibility. 7.

(e) The Optionee agree that a breach of the covenants contained in this Agreement will cause the Company and its Affiliates immediate and irreparable harm for which the Company’s remedies at law (such as money damages) will be inadequate. The Company shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain an injunction to restrain any breach or threatened breach of such agreements. The Optionee also agrees that the Company may contact any Person with or for whom the

10 Optionee works after the Optionee’s employment by the Company ends and may send that Person a copy of this Agreement. (f) The Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be waiver of such provision or any other provision thereof. 8.   Clawback.

The Optionee’s acceptance of the Award is expressly conditioned on the Optionee’s agreement to be subject to the Policy, including the provisions that allow the Company to deduct any proceeds from other sources of income payable to the Optionee. This Award would not be made if the Optionee did not agree to be subject to the Policy. (c) The clawback period described in the Policy is extended for the full duration of the period of post-termination continued vesting described in this Agreement. The Committee may determine in its sole and absolute discretion that if circumstances exist that would permit the recovery of incentive compensation paid to the Optionee during the vesting period, in addition to recovering this compensation, all vesting will immediately cease and the remainder of the Awards will be forfeited immediately.  9.              Transferability.  The Optionee shall have no right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber the Options in any manner until the Shares are issued to the Optionee upon exercise.  Following exercise and issuance of Shares, in the event the Company permits the Optionee to arrange for sale of Shares through a broker or another designated agent of the Company, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may block any such sale and/or cancel any order to sell placed by the Optionee, in each case if the Optionee is not then permitted under the Company's insider trading policy to engage in transactions with respect to securities of the Company.  If the Committee determines that the ability of the Optionee to sell or transfer Shares is restricted, then the Company may notify the Optionee in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.  The Optionee may only sell such Shares in compliance with such notification by the Company. 10.             Rights as Shareholder.  Neither the Optionee nor any person claiming under or through the Optionee shall have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Options (whether vested or unvested) unless and until such Options are exercised and the corresponding Shares are issued.  After such issuance, the Optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares, if any.  11.             Nature of Grant.

The Optionee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan. Where required, the legal basis for the transfer of Data to the Service Provider is the Optionee's consent. (c) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Optionee’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is the Optionee’s consent. (d) Data Retention. The Company will hold and use 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, exchange control, securities and labor laws. This may mean Data may be retained until after the Optionee’s employment or service ends, plus any additional time periods necessary for compliance with law, exercise or defense of legal rights, archiving, back-up and deletion purposes. (e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and the Optionee is providing the consents herein on a voluntary basis. The Optionee understands that the Optionee may request to stop the transfer and processing of

13 the Data for purposes of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and that the Optionee’s employment or service will not be affected. The only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to allow the Optionee to participate in the Plan. The Optionee understands that the Data will still be processed in relation to the Optionee’s employment or service for record- keeping purposes. (f) Data Subject Rights. The Optionee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Optionee’s jurisdiction. Depending on where the Optionee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectify incorrect Data, (iii) delete Data, (iv) restrict the processing of Data, (v) restrict the portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Optionee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Optionee can contact the Optionee’s local human resources representative. 16. Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Optionee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing. 17. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania located in Chester County Pennsylvania or the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. 18. Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company shall not be required to permit the exercise of the Options and/or deliver any Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any U.S. state or non-U.S. securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares subject to this Option. Further, the Optionee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend this Agreement without the Optionee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of the Shares subject to the Options. 19. Section 409A of the Code for U.S. Taxpayers.  The settlement of these Options is intended to be exempt from the application of Code Section 409A pursuant to the “short-term deferral exemption” in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and shall be administered and interpreted in a manner that complies with such exemption. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its exemption from Code Section 409A, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Award is interpreted as not being exempt from Code Section 409A, it shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A so that this Award is not subject to additional tax or interest under

14 Code Section 409A. In this regard, to the extent necessary to comply with or qualify for an exemption from Code Section 409A, any reference to “termination of employment” or similar terms will mean the Optionee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(2)(A)(i) (a “Separation”). Each installment of the Options that vests is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. 20. 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 Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. 21. Language. The Optionee acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Optionee to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the Optionee 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 control. 22. Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Options shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions for the Optionee’s country set forth in the Appendix A attached hereto. Moreover, if the Optionee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix A, the additional terms and conditions for such country, if any, will apply to the Optionee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix A constitutes part of this Agreement. 23. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on the Options and on the Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Options, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Optionee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. 24. Waiver. The Optionee 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 Optionee or any other Optionee. 25. 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. 26. Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Optionee is subject to the Company’s Security Trading Policy (CP-046), as in effect from time-to-time, and such other rules, procedures and guidelines established thereunder. Additionally, the Optionee acknowledges that, depending on his or her country, the Optionee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect his or her ability to acquire, exercise the Option, sell or attempt to sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., Options) under the Plan during such times as the Optionee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by laws in the applicable jurisdiction or the Optionee’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Optionee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Optionee is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

15 27. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. The Optionee acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect the Optionee’s ability to acquire or hold the Shares acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on the Shares acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Optionee’s country. The Optionee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Optionee also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participating in the Plan to the Optionee’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Optionee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Optionee is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

16 APPENDIX A COUNTRY-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS FOR NON-U.S. OPTIONEES Terms and Conditions This Appendix A includes additional (or, if so indicated, different) terms and conditions that govern the Options granted to the Optionee if the Optionee is in one of the countries listed herein. If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country (or if the Optionee is considered as such for local law purposes) other than the one in which the Optionee is currently residing and/or working, or if the Optionee transfers employment and/or residency to another country after being granted the Options, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will be applicable to the Optionee. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan or the Option Agreement, as applicable. Notifications This Appendix A also includes information regarding certain issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2024. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Optionee should not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Optionee exercises the Option or the Optionee sells Shares 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 should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Optionee’s individual situation. Finally, if the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country (or if the Optionee is considered as such for local law purposes) other than the one in which the Optionee is currently residing and/or working, or if the Optionee transfers employment and/or residency to another country after being granted the Options, the information contained herein may not be applicable in the same manner.

The Optionee should file the report by the fifth day of the month following the month in which the payment is made. In addition, the Optionee may be required to report the acquisition of securities to the Bundesbank via email or telephone if the value of the securities acquired exceeds €12,500. The Optionee consult his or her personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with the applicable reporting requirements. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the acquisition of Shares under the Plan leads to a “qualified participation” at any point during the calendar year, the Optionee will need to report the acquisition of such Shares when the Optionee files his or her tax return for the relevant year. A qualified participation occurs if (i) the value of the Shares acquired exceeds €150,000 or (ii) the Shares held exceed
