INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS & FRAGRANCES INC. EQUITY CHOICE PROGRAM AWARD AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS (the "ECP TERMS AND CONDITIONS")
These ECP Terms and Conditions, including the relevant addendum, are a part of each International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (the "Company") ECP Award Agreement made under the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of these ECP Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.
1.Amount of ECP Award. As of the Grant Date, the Participant shall be eligible to receive an ECP Award in the forms and amounts set forth on the first page of the ECP Award Agreement.
2.Eligibility for Award. The Participant's eligibility for an ECP Award shall be at the discretion of the Committee. Eligibility for an ECP Award in one period does not guarantee eligibility for an ECP Award in a later period.
3.Vesting of Award. The ECP Award vests on the date set forth on the first page of the ECP Award Agreement (the "ECP Vesting Date") if not previously forfeited, and is 0% vested before expiration of this period.
4.ECP Award Allocations. The Participants may elect to allocate their total ECP Award between three types of ECP Award grants in 5% increments: (i) PRSUs (as defined below) (ii) Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights ("SSARs"), and (iii) Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"). If the Participant does not elect an ECP Award type within the time period specified by the Committee, 100% of the ECP Award will be allocated to RSUs by default or such other default selection specified by the Committee.
5.Purchased Shares and Matching Restricted Stock Units.
(a)Adjusted ECP Award Value. As used herein, the term "PRSU" shall mean RSUs granted by the Company under Section 7 of the Plan. There is a 20% adjustment upward of the ECP Award value for any allocation of the ECP Award elected in PRSUs (the "Adjusted ECP Award Value"). For example, if the Participant elects to receive $100 of his or her ECP in PRSUs, the Participant will be required to tender shares of Common Stock ("Shares"), or a combination of cash and Shares, with a fair value of $120 as of the Grant Date and will receive a corresponding match in the form of PRSUs from the Company with a Grant Date fair value of $120.
(i)If the Participant chooses PRSUs on or prior to the date specified by the Company, he or she must (x) deliver funds to the Company, equal to the dollar amount of all or a portion of the Adjusted ECP Award Value, which funds will be used to purchase Shares equivalent to that portion of the Adjusted ECP Award Value for which the Participant chooses to deliver funds and/or (y) tender a sufficient number of Shares to be held in an account designated by the Company, with a value equal to any portion of the Adjusted ECP Award Value which is not covered by the delivery of funds pursuant to (x), calculated based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date (the Shares described in (x) or (y), the "Purchased Shares"). Shares held in a qualified 401(k) plan or in a nonqualified deferred stock compensation shall not be eligible for purposes of this Section 5. Upon receipt of the funds and/or tender Shares, the Company will grant to the Participant a matching grant of a number of PRSUs, with a value on the Grant Date equal to the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on the Grant Date (the "Matched PRSUs").
(ii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Participant fails to tender funds or Shares with a value at least equal to the Adjusted ECP Award Value as required by Section 5(a)(i) herein, the Company shall only grant to the Participant a number of Matched PRSUs with a value equal to the reduced amount tendered and any shortfall in the ECP Award Value shall be allocated in RSUs.

6.Evidence of Purchased Shares and Matched PRSUs.
(i)Purchased Shares shall be issued and registered in the name of the Participant and evidence of ownership of the Purchased Shares shall be retained by the Company in a restricted account maintained by the Company's designated agent.
(ii)Prior to settlement, the Company or its designated agent shall maintain a bookkeeping account reflecting the number of Matched PRSUs granted as part of an ECP Award, and credited to the Participant's account.
(a)Voting Rights. The Participant shall be entitled to vote Purchased Shares on any matter submitted to a vote of holders of Shares, and shall have all other rights of a shareholder of the Company, except as expressly limited by the ECP Award Agreement or the Plan. Prior to their settlement in accordance with ECP Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions of the ECP Award Agreement and the Plan, the Participant shall not be entitled to vote Matched PRSUs.
(b)Dividends and Distributions. Purchased Shares earn dividends and Matched PRSUs earn dividend equivalents and are entitled to distributions during the vesting period if and to the extent that (x) with respect to the Purchased Shares, the Participant is the record owner of such Purchased Shares on any record date for such a dividend or distribution and (y) with respect to the Matched PRSUs, if the Participant has not forfeited the Matched PRSUs on or before the payment date for such dividend or distribution and complies with the vesting conditions set forth below.
(i)In the event of a cash dividend or cash distribution on Shares, such dividend or distribution shall be paid in cash to the Participant at the time of payment to shareholders generally and shall be non-forfeitable.
(ii)In the event of any non-cash dividend or distribution in the form of property other than Shares, such property shall be distributed in respect of Purchased Shares, but the Company (or its designated agent) shall retain in its custody the property so distributed in respect of Matched PRSUs, which property, (1) will become vested if and to the same extent the underlying Matched PRSUs becomes vested, (2) will be settled if and to the same extent the underlying Matched PRSUs are settled and, (3) to the greatest extent practicable, shall be subject to all other terms and conditions applied to the underlying Matched PRSUs, including in the event of any dividends or distributions paid in respect of such property.
(iii)In the event of a dividend or distribution in the form of Shares or a stock split of Shares, the Shares so issued or delivered will be deemed to be additional Purchased Shares and in the case of Matched PRSUs will be credited to the Participant's bookkeeping account as additional Matched PRSUs and will become vested and will settle if and to the same extent as the underlying Matched PRSUs. With respect to dividends and distributions in respect of the Purchased Shares, such dividends and distributions will be made in the form of additional Shares, while with respect to dividends and distributions in respect of Matched PRSUs, the dividends and distributions will be made in the form of additional RSUs.
(c)Restrictions on Purchased Shares and Matched PRSUs. The Purchased Shares and Matched PRSUs shall be subject to the following restrictions during the vesting period:
(i)Purchased Shares. The Participant shall have the right to withdraw, transfer, sell, assign, pledge or encumber (subject to Section 23 of the Plan) any or all of the Purchased Shares at any time, by written notice addressed to the Company; provided that such withdrawal, transfer, sale, assignment, pledge or encumbrance of Purchased Shares will result in forfeiture of a corresponding number of Matched PRSUs. Upon forfeiture of any number of Matched PRSUs, the restrictions on the corresponding number of Purchased Shares will lapse.
(ii)Matched PRSUs. Matched PRSUs are subject to the risk of forfeiture and other restrictions specified in the Plan, the ECP Award Agreement and these ECP Terms and Conditions. The Participant shall have no right to settlement of Matched PRSUs and delivery of Shares underlying such Matched PRSUs until such time as the Matched PRSUs have become vested. Upon vesting, the Matched PRSUs will be settled by delivery of one Share for each Matched PRSU being settled. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 below, such settlement shall occur within thirty (30) days following the ECP Vesting Date.

7.Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights ("SSARs"). SSARs are an award granted under Section 7 of the Plan, under which the Participants receive a contractual right to receive the value in Shares of the appreciation in the Company's price per Share from the SSAR Grant Date to the date the SSAR is exercised by the Participant.
(a)Number of SSARs Granted. The total number of SSARs granted by the Company to the Participant is set forth on the first page of the ECP Award Agreement and is based on 5.0 times the Participant's SSARs award value divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. By way of example:
"If the Participant's ECP Award value is $100 and the Participant elects to allocate the total ECP Award to SSARs, then the number of SSARs granted to the Participant would be equal to $100 multiplied by 5.0 divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. If the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date was $10 per Share, then the Participant would receive 50 SSARs."
(b)Evidence of SSAR Awards. Prior to vesting, the Company (or its designated agent) shall maintain a bookkeeping account reflecting the number of SSARs granted as part of an ECP Award, and credited to the Participant's account.
(c)Exercise and Payment of Awards. The Participant may exercise vested SSARs by delivering written notice to the Company stating the number of Shares as to which SSARS are being exercised and the name in which the Participant wishes the Shares to be issued. SSARs may only be exercised on a date that the Fair Market Value of a Share exceeds the Base Price (as defined below) and only if the SSARs are otherwise exercisable at such date. Upon exercise of SSARs, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment in Shares, calculated as follows:
Shares Paid = (FMV minus Base Price) multiplied by (number of SSARs exercised) divided by FMV "FMV" is the Fair Market Value of a Share at the exercise date
"Base Price" is the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date as set forth in the Award Agreement.
If any fractional Share would be deliverable upon exercise, after taking into account withholding for mandatory taxes, the Company will pay cash in lieu of delivery of such fractional Share or will use such cash to apply towards withholding for taxes.
(d)Exercise Period. SSARs are exercisable for a seven (7)-year period, as measured from the Grant Date or such earlier date as such SSAR may terminate as described herein.
(e)Dividend and Voting Rights. SSARS do not earn dividends and are not entitled to any voting rights.
8.Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"). RSUs are an Award granted under Section 7 of the Plan, under which the Participants receive a contractual right to receive unrestricted Shares upon vesting.
(a)Number of RSUs granted. The total number of RSUs granted by the Company to the Participant is set forth on the first page of the ECP Award Agreement and is based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.
(b)Evidence of RSU Award. Prior to vesting, the Company or its designated agent shall maintain a bookkeeping account reflecting the number of RSUs granted as part of an ECP Award, and credited to the Participant's account.
(c)Settlement of RSUs. Upon vesting, RSUs will be settled by delivery of one Share for each RSU being settled. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 below, such settlement shall occur within thirty (30) days following the ECP Vesting Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to settle RSUs in cash, in its discretion.
(d)Dividends/Dividend Equivalents and Voting Rights. RSUs granted hereunder do not provide voting or dividend rights and no dividends will be paid or credited on any RSUs.

9.Termination of Employment. The following provisions will govern the treatment of the Participant's ECP Award in the event of a termination of Employment.
(a)Effect of Termination of Employment on Purchased Shares. If the Participant terminates Employment for any reason or no reason (including, without limitation, for any reason set forth in Sections 8(b) through 8(e) below), all restrictions on the Participant's Purchased Shares shall lapse as of the date of the Participant's termination of Employment.
(b)Termination for Cause or Resignation. If the Participant terminates Employment for Cause (as defined in the Plan) or voluntarily terminates (other than a voluntary termination of Employment by the Participant due to
(x)Normal Retirement, (y) Early Retirement or (z) with respect to Participants who are designated as Tier I Employees by the Company for purposes of the ESP, Good Reason), then:
(i)All outstanding unvested Matched PRSUs will be immediately forfeited;
(ii)All outstanding unvested SSARs will be immediately forfeited and all vested SSARs (i) will cease to be exercisable and will terminate three (3) months after termination of Employment with the Company (or an affiliate of the Company) due to a voluntary termination by the Participant (but in no event after the expiration date of the award grant) and (ii) all outstanding vested SSARs will cease to be exercisable and will immediately terminate in the case of a termination for Cause by the Company; and
(iii)All outstanding unvested RSUs will be immediately forfeited.
(c)Termination due to Disability or Normal Retirement. If the Participant terminates Employment due to Disability or Normal Retirement, then:
(i)All outstanding unvested Matched PRSUs will remain outstanding and will become vested at the ECP Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had a termination of Employment under this Section 8(c). Upon vesting, such Matched PRSUs will be settled within thirty (30) days following the ECP Vesting Date.
(ii)All outstanding unvested SSARs will remain outstanding and will become exercisable at the ECP Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had a termination of Employment under this Section 8(c). SSARs that were vested at the time of the Participant's termination of Employment and those that become vested thereafter will remain outstanding and exercisable until the expiration date of the SSARs, at which date the SSARs will cease to be exercisable and will terminate.
(d)All outstanding unvested RSUs will remain outstanding and will become vested at the ECP Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had a termination of Employment under this Section 8(c). Upon vesting, such RSUs will be settled within thirty (30) days after the ECP Vesting Date.
(e)Termination Not for Cause, for Good Reason or Early Retirement. If the Participant involuntarily terminates Employment not for Cause, or voluntarily terminates Employment due to (x) Early Retirement or (y) with respect to the Participants who are designated as Tier I Employees by the Company for purposes of the ESP, Good Reason, then:
(i)A pro rata portion of all outstanding unvested Matched PRSUs will remain outstanding and will become vested at the ECP Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had a termination of Employment under this Section 8(d). Upon vesting, such Matched PRSUs will be settled within thirty (30) days following the ECP Vesting Date.
(ii)A pro rata portion of all outstanding unvested SSARs will remain outstanding and will become exercisable at the ECP Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had a termination of Employment under this Section 8(d). SSARs that were vested at the time of the Participant's termination of Employment and those that become vested thereafter will remain outstanding and exercisable until the expiration date of the SSARs, at which date the SSARs will cease to be exercisable and will terminate.

(iii)A pro rata portion of all outstanding unvested RSUs will remain outstanding and will become vested at the ECP Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had such a termination of Employment under this Section 8(d). Upon vesting, such RSUs will be settled within thirty (30) days following the ECP Vesting Date.
(iv)For purposes of Section 8(d)(i) through 8(d)(iii), the pro rata portion will be determined by multiplying the number of unvested Matched PRSUs, SSARs or RSUs, as the case may be, by a fraction, the numerator of which is (x) the number of days from the Grant Date to the date of the Participant's termination of Employment and the denominator of which is (y) []. The Participant's Matched PRSUs, SSARs or RSUs, as the case may be, that had not vested before such termination of Employment under this Section 8(d) and which are not included in the pro rata portion subject to continued vesting will be immediately forfeited.
(f)Termination due to Death. If the Participant terminates Employment due to death, then:

(iii)All outstanding unvested RSUs will become immediately vested. Upon vesting, such RSUs will be settled within thirty (30) days following the date of the Participant's death
10.Change in Control. In the event the Company undergoes a "Change in Control" (as defined in the Plan) following the Grant Date, ECP Awards shall be treated as provided in Section 11 of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s combination with DuPont de Nemours, Inc.’s Nutrition & Biosciences business will not be considered a Change in Control for purposes of this agreement, or the ESP, with respect to the awards granted hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Matched PRSUs and RSUs shall be settled within thirty (30) days following the earlier of (i) the Vesting Date or (ii) the date they become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.
11.Clawback and Recoupment Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any ECP Award paid or payable in connection with the ECP shall be subject to the clawback, recoupment and forfeiture provisions of Section 32 of the Plan and Section 9 of the ESP. By acknowledging the ECP Award Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that any and all ECP Awards previously granted to the Participant prior to the Grant Date, and any other cash or Shares provided to the Participant following the Grant Date and under the ECP Award or otherwise under the Plan, are subject to the provisions of Section 32 of the Plan and Section 9 of the ESP, as applicable. For purposes of the foregoing, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant's behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold the Participant's Shares and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company.
12.Limits on Transfers of Awards. Except as provided by the Committee, no ECP Award and no right under any ECP Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in accordance with Section 23 of the Plan.
13.Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary, no payment or settlement of Shares that constitute "non-qualified deferred compensation" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code will be made under this ECP Award Agreement to the Participant on account of such Participant's termination of Employment, if on such date, the Participant is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any successor provision thereto) until the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of the Participant's termination of Employment and the date of the Participant's death.

14.Administration.
(a)Administration. The Board has delegated administrative authority to the Committee and the ECP shall be administered by the Committee.
(b)Powers and Duties. The Committee shall have sole discretion and authority to make any and all determinations necessary or advisable for administration of the ECP and may adopt, amend or revoke any rule or regulation established for the proper administration of the ECP. The Committee shall have the ability to modify the ECP provisions, to the extent necessary, or delegate such authority, to accommodate any changes in law or regulations in jurisdictions in which the Participant receives ECP Awards. The Committee or its designee will oversee ECP Award calculations. All interpretations, decisions, or determinations made by the Committee or its designee, if applicable, pursuant to the ECP shall be final and conclusive.
15.Amendment; Termination of the ECP. The Committee has the right to revise, modify, or terminate the ECP in whole or in part at any time or for any reason, and the right to modify any ECP Award amount in accordance with Section 31 of the Plan.
16.Tax Liability and Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant's employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items resulting from the ECP Award ("Tax-Related Items"), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant's responsibility, and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Participant's employer, if any. The Participant also acknowledges that the Company and the Participant's employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the ECP Award, including the grant of the ECP Award, the vesting of the ECP Award, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the ECP Award and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the ECP Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, at the time of the taxable event, the Company will withhold from any Shares deliverable in settlement of the ECP Award, in accordance with Section 20(a) of the Plan, the number of whole Shares having a value as nearly as possible equal to the amount of Tax-Related Items required to be withheld under applicable local laws and regulations, and pay such amount in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. Alternatively, the Company may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from the Participant's salary/wages or other amounts payable to the Participant, with no withholding in Shares.
In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through the Participant's salary/wages or other amounts payable to the Participant, no Shares will be issued upon vesting of the ECP Award unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by the Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such ECP Award. Further, if the Participant becomes subject to taxation in more than one country between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates. By accepting this grant of ECP Award, the Participant expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and/or cash as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the ECP Award and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the Participant's sole responsibility.
17.Severability; Survival of Terms. Should any provision of an ECP Award or these ECP Terms and Conditions be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the ECP Award or these ECP Terms and Conditions. These ECP Terms and Conditions shall apply to and bind the Participant and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors.
18.Dispute Resolution. These ECP Terms and Conditions, the ECP Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

19.Non U.S. Residents. Rights and restrictions for the Participants residing and/or employed in foreign countries may differ and shall be based on applicable foreign law and will be governed by Section 33 of the Plan.
20.Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to this ECP Award or ECP Award Agreement by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
21.Governing Law. This ECP Award Agreement and the ECP Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New York and of the United States without regard to principles of conflict of law.
22.Consent for Data Transfer. By accepting this ECP Award Agreement, the Participant voluntarily acknowledges and consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described herein, including for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan, certain personal information, including name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant's favor ("Data"). The Company and/or its affiliates will transfer Data among themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Plan and may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. The Participant authorizes them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant's participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of Shares or other equity of the Company on the Participant's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares or equity acquired pursuant to the Plan. The Participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing consent may affect the Participant's ability to participate in the Plan.
The Participant may, at any time, exercise the Participant's rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to (a) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data, (b) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data, (c) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data and (d) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data that is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Plan and the Participant's participation in the Plan.

Further, if the Participant transfers the Participant's residence and/or Employment to another country, at the time of transfer, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Purchased Shares, Matched PRSUs, SSARs and RSUs and the Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Participant's transfer). Any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of these ECP Terms and Conditions.
24.Private Placement. The grant of Matched PRSUs, SSARs and RSUs to the Participants outside of the United States and the purchase by the Participants of Purchased Shares is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant's country of residence (and country of Employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law) outside of the United States, and the grant of the Matched PRSUs, SSARs and RSUs and purchase of Purchased Shares is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities outside of the United States.

1. Waiver of Termination Rights. In accepting the grant of the ECP Award, the Participant waives any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of a termination of Employment, insofar as those rights result or may result from: (a) the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements under the Plan; or (b) the Participant ceasing to have rights, or ceasing to be entitled to any awards, under the Plan as a result of such termination of Employment.
2. Securities Law Information. The Participant should be aware of Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan. In particular, the Participant may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions involving Shares during the period in which the Participant has "inside information" regarding the Company.
By accepting the ECP Award and participating in the Plan, the Participant acknowledges having read and understood this Securities Law Information and further acknowledges that it is the Participant's responsibility to comply with the following Dutch insider-trading rules:

Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has "inside information" related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. "Inside information" is defined as knowledge of details concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate, which is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be a service provider in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.
Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain service providers working in the Netherlands (possibly including the Participant) may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when the Participant had such inside information.
SINGAPORE
1. Qualifying Person Exemption. The grant of the ECP Award under the Plan is being made pursuant to the "Qualifying Person" exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) ("SFA"). The Plan has not been and will not be lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and is not regulated by any financial supervisory authority pursuant to any legislation in Singapore. The Participant should note that, as a result, the ECP Award is subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Participant will be unable to make (a) any subsequent sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ECP Award in Singapore or (b) any offer for sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ECP Award in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section
280) of the SFA.
SPAIN
1. Nature of Grant. In accepting the ECP Award, the Participant consents to his or her participation in the Plan and acknowledges that the Participant has received a copy of the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant the ECP Award under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company 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. Consequently, the Participant understands that the ECP Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the ECP Award and any Shares acquired upon vesting of the ECP Award are not part of any employment contract with the Company and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Participant understands that the ECP Award would not be granted to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to herein; thus, the Participant expressly acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of the ECP Award shall be null and void.
Further, the ECP Award are a conditional right to Shares and can be forfeited in the case of, or affected by, the Participant’s termination of Employment. This will be the case, for example, even if (a) the Participant is considered to be unfairly terminated without good cause; (b) the Participant is terminated for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (c) the Participant terminates Employment due to a change of work location, duties or any other Employment or contractual conditions; (d) the Participant terminates Employment due to unilateral breach of contract of the Company; or (e) the Participant’s Employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever, except for cause. Consequently, upon termination of the Participant’s Employment for any of the reasons set forth above, the Participant automatically may lose any rights to the unvested ECP Award granted to the Participant as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment, as described in the Plan, the ECP Award Agreement and the ECP Award Terms and Conditions.
BY SIGNING BELOW, THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES, UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE ECP TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THE PLAN AND THIS ADDENDUM.

1. Mandatory Tax Withholding. The following provision shall supplement Section 16 of the ECP Terms and Conditions:
Without limitation to Section 16 of the ECP Terms and Conditions, the Participant hereby agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby consents to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold on the Participant’s behalf or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that the Participant is a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Participant within ninety (90) days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. The Participant acknowledges that he or she ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company may recover from the Participant at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 16 of the ECP Terms and Conditions or in the Plan.
2. Exclusion of Claim. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant shall have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Participant’s ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to vest in the Participant’s ECP Award, whether or not as a result of such termination (whether the termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Participant’s ECP Award. Upon the grant of the ECP Award, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.
