SECTION 5.    OPTIONS AND SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS

(a)Types and Nature of Share Appreciation Rights. Share Appreciation Rights may be “Tandem SARs,” which are granted in conjunction with an Option, or “Free-Standing SARs,” which are not granted in conjunction with an Option. Upon the exercise of a Share Appreciation Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, Shares, or both, in value equal to the product of (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share over the exercise price of the applicable Share Appreciation Right, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares in respect of which the Share Appreciation Right has been exercised. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify whether such payment is to be made in cash or Shares or both, or shall reserve to the Committee or the Participant the right to make that determination prior to or upon the exercise of the Share Appreciation Right.

(b)Tandem SARs. A Tandem SAR may be granted at the Grant Date of the related Option. A Tandem SAR shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the related Option is exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, and shall have the same exercise price as the related Option. A Tandem SAR shall terminate or be forfeited upon the exercise or forfeiture of the related Option, and the related Option shall terminate or be forfeited upon the exercise or forfeiture of the Tandem SAR.

(c)Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share subject to an Option or Share Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee or, for an Option or Share Appreciation Right granted under the Annual Limits pursuant to Section 2(e), by the Management Board, and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement; provided that, with respect to any grant to a Director the exercise price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the applicable Grant Date unless approved by the Company’s general meeting of shareholders.

(d)Term. The Term of each Option and each Share Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee, but shall not exceed ten years from the Grant Date.

(e)Vesting and Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided herein, Options and Share Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. If the Committee provides that any Option or Share Appreciation Right will become exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may determine. In addition, the Committee may at any time accelerate the exercisability of any Option or Share Appreciation Right.

(f)Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, Options and Share Appreciation Rights may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the applicable Term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company (whereby textual form shall be sufficient if applicable law does not allow for requesting a stricter form than textual form) or through the procedures established with the Company’s appointed third-party administrator specifying the number of Shares as to which the Option or Share Appreciation Right is being

-10-

EU-DOCS\17329559.3

exercised; provided, however, that, unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, any such exercise must be with respect to a portion of the applicable Option or Share Appreciation Right relating to no less than the lesser of the number of Shares then subject to such Option or Share Appreciation Right or 100 Shares. In the case of the exercise of an Option, such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate purchase price (which shall equal the product of such number of Shares subject to such Option multiplied by the applicable per Share exercise price) by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may accept. If approved by the Committee, payment, in full or in part, may also be made as follows:

(i)To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment may be made in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by Participant (by delivery of such Shares or by attestation) of the same class as the Shares subject to the Option (based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is exercised).

(ii)To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment may be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale proceeds necessary to pay the purchase price, and, if requested, the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may also provide for Company loans to be made for purposes of the exercise of Options by Participants who are employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(iii)Payment may be made by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value (based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the applicable Option is exercised) equal to the product of (A) the exercise price per Share multiplied by (B) the number of Shares in respect of which the Option shall have been exercised.

(iv)Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Section 5(f), upon the exercise of an Option or a Share Appreciation Right resulting in an issuance of Shares, the Participant shall immediately pay in cash the par value of an Ordinary Share in connection with such issuance, unless the Committee has decided that such par value shall be charged against the Company's reserves (subject to applicable law).

(g)Delivery; Rights of Shareholders. No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Share Appreciation Right until the exercise price therefor and the par value per Ordinary Share (in case of such exercise resulting in an issuance of Shares, unless such par value shall be charged against the Company's reserves) has been fully paid and applicable taxes have been withheld. The applicable Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company holding the class or series of Shares that is subject to the Option or Share Appreciation Right (including, if applicable, the right to vote the applicable Shares and the right to receive dividends), when the Participant (i) has given written notice of exercise (whereby textual notice of exercise shall be sufficient if applicable law does not allow for requesting a

-11-

EU-DOCS\17329559.3

stricter form than textual form), (ii) if requested, has given the representation described in Section 11(a), (iii) in the case of an Option, has paid in full for such Shares, and (iv) has been issued such Shares.

(h)Nontransferability of Options and Share Appreciation Rights. No Option or Share Appreciation Right shall be transferable by a Participant other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) in the case of an Option or Share Appreciation Right, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or as otherwise expressly permitted by the Committee, including, if so permitted, pursuant to a transfer to the Participant’s family members or to a charitable organization, whether directly or indirectly or by means of a trust or partnership or otherwise. For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, “family member” shall have the meaning given to such term in General Instructions A.1(a)(5) to Form S-8 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any successor thereto. A Tandem SAR shall be transferable only with the related Option as permitted by the preceding sentence. Any Option or Share Appreciation Right shall be exercisable, subject to the terms of this Plan, only by the applicable Participant, the guardian or legal representative of such Participant, or any person to whom such Option or Share Appreciation Right is permissibly transferred pursuant to this Section 5(h) or the guardian or legal representative of such permitted transferee, it being understood that the term “Participant” includes such guardian, legal representative and other transferee; provided, however, that the term “Termination of Employment” shall continue to refer to the Termination of Employment of the original Participant.

SECTION 6.    RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS

(i)The Committee shall, prior to or at the time of grant, condition the grant, vesting, or transferability of Restricted Share Units upon the continued service of the applicable Participant or the attainment of performance goals, or the attainment of performance goals and the continued service of the applicable Participant. The conditions for grant, vesting or transferability and the other provisions of Restricted Share Units (including, without limitation, any performance goals) need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

(ii)Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, so long as an Award of Restricted Share Units remains subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions (the “RSU Restriction Period”), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber Restricted Share Units.

EU-DOCS\17329559.3

(iii)The Award Agreement for Restricted Share Units shall specify whether, to what extent and on what terms and conditions the applicable Participant shall be entitled to receive current or delayed payments of cash, Shares or other property corresponding to the dividends payable on the Shares (subject to Section 11(e)).

(iv)Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason during the RSU Restriction Period or before the applicable performance goals are satisfied, all Restricted Share Units still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by such Participant; provided, however, that the Committee shall have the discretion to waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining restrictions with respect to any or all of such Participant’s Restricted Share Units.

(v)Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, an award of Restricted Share Units shall be settled as and when the Restricted Share Units vest.

(vi)Upon the vesting of a Restricted Share Unit resulting in an issuance of Shares, the Participant shall immediately pay in cash the par value of an Ordinary Share in connection with such issuance, unless the Committee has decided that such par value shall be charged against the Company's reserves (subject to applicable law).

SECTION 10.    UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN

It is intended that this Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under this Plan to deliver Shares or make payments; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the “unfunded” status of this Plan.

SECTION 11.    GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a)Conditions for Issuance. The Committee may require each person purchasing or receiving Shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for such Shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or agreements made pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under this Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (i) listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such Shares on the Applicable Exchange; (ii) any registration or other qualification of such Shares of the Company under any state, federal or foreign law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification that the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and (iii) obtaining any other consent, approval or permit from any state, federal or foreign governmental agency that the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable.

(b)Additional Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees or officers.

(c)No Contract of Employment. This Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment, and adoption of this Plan shall not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment or service, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company

or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment or service of any employee or officer at any time.

(d)Required Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Participant for federal, state, local or foreign income or employment or other tax purposes with respect to any Award under this Plan, such Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. If determined by the Company, withholding obligations may be settled with Shares, including Shares that are part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under this Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to such Participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Shares.

(e)Limitation on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents. The payment of Shares with respect to dividends to Participants holding Awards of Restricted Share Units shall only be permissible if sufficient Shares are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment or payment (taking into account then outstanding Awards). In the event that a sufficient number of Shares is not available for such reinvestment or payment, such reinvestment or payment shall be made in the form of a grant of additional Restricted Share Units equal in number to the Shares that would have been obtained by such payment or reinvestment, the terms of which Restricted Share Units shall provide for settlement in cash and for dividend equivalent reinvestment in further Restricted Share Units on the terms contemplated by this Section 11(e).

(f)Designation of Death Beneficiary. The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable or Shares deliverable in the event of such Participant’s death are to be paid or delivered or by whom any rights of such Participant, after such Participant’s death, may be exercised.

(g)Subsidiary Employees. Subject to applicable law, in the case of a grant of an Award to any employee or officer of a Subsidiary, the Company may, if the Committee so directs, transfer the Shares, if any, covered by the Award to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the Shares to the employee or officer in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of this Plan. All such Shares underlying Awards that are forfeited or cancelled shall revert to the Company.

(h)Governing Law and Interpretation. This Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Plan are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.

(i)Nontransferability. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(h) or as determined by the Committee, Awards under this Plan are not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution.

(j)Foreign Employees and Foreign Law Considerations. The Committee may grant Awards to Eligible Individuals who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the Netherlands or Germany or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the Netherlands or Germany, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the Netherlands or Germany, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of this Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures or subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.

(k)Applicable Law, Articles of Association and Internal Rules. This Plan, including the administration hereof by the Supervisory Board, the Committee, and, to the extent applicable, the Management Board, shall in all respects be subject to applicable law, the Company’s articles of association and other internal rules applicable to the Management Board and/or the Supervisory Board from time to time. Any disputes between the Company and any Participant arising out of or in connection with the operation of this Plan shall be settled by the Supervisory Board, whose decision shall be considered final and decisive among the Company and such Participant, unless the Company or such Participant decides to submit such dispute to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court in Amsterdam, in each case unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement.
