Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement (including any Exhibits thereto), this Option shall vest and become exercisable as to portions of the Shares pursuant to the Vesting Schedule specified above.

2.2 Expiration. This Option shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth above and must be exercised, if at all, on or before the earlier of the Expiration Date or the date on which this Option is earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.

3. Termination of Service.

3.1 Termination for Any Reason except Death, Disability or Cause. In the event of the Participant153s Termination of Service for any reason except the Participant153s death, Disability or Cause, then this Option, to the extent (and only to the extent) that it is vested in accordance with the schedule set forth above on the Termination Date, may be exercised by the Participant no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date.

3.2 Termination Because of Death or Disability. In the event of the Participant153s Termination of Service because of death or Disability of the Participant (or the Participant dies within three (3) months after Termination of Service other than for Cause or because of Disability), then this Option, to the extent that it is vested in accordance with the schedule set forth above, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant153s legal representative) no later than twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date.

3.3 Termination for Cause. In the event of the Participant153s Termination of Service for Cause, this Option will automatically expire on the Participant153s Termination Date.

3.4 No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on the Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company or any Parent Subsidiary, or Affiliate, or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the Participant153s employment or service relationship at any time, with or without cause.

4. Manner of Exercise.

4.1 Share Option Exercise Agreement. To exercise this Option, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant153s death, the Participant153s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed share option exercise agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or in such other form as may be approved by the Company from time to time (the "Exercise Agreement"), which shall set forth, inter alia, the Participant153s election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares being purchased, any restrictions imposed on the Shares and any representations, warranties and agreements regarding the Participant153s investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws. If someone other than the Participant exercises this Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company that such person has the right to exercise this Option.


4.2 Limitations on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is in compliance with all applicable federal, state, local or foreign securities laws, as they are in effect on the date of exercise. This Option may not be exercised as to fewer than 100 Shares unless it is exercised as to all Shares as to which this Option is then exercisable.

4.3 Payment. The Exercise Agreement shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased in cash (by check), or where permitted by law:

(a) the surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the Committee may require (including withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Award) which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option shall be exercised;

(b) through a "same day sale" commitment by the Participant and a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a "FINRA" dealer) whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay the Exercise Price, and whereby the FINRA dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares, to remit such amounts to the Company;

(c) any other methods acceptable to the Committee, including through the delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Exercise Price; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale; or

(d) by any combination of the foregoing.

4.4 Tax Obligations and Issuance of Shares.

(a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant153s employer (the "Employer") takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items arising out of the Participant153s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant ("Tax-Related Items"), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant153s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the company and/or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) 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 this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate the Participant153s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant 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.


(b) Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following (1) withholding from the Participant153s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company, the Employer, or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate; or (2) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired at exercise of this Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant153s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (3) withholding in Shares to be issued at exercise of this Option.

(c) To avoid any negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for the Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised Option, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the Participant153s participation in the Plan.

(d) The Participant 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 Participant153s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described in this section. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds from the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

4.5 Issuance of Shares. Provided that the Exercise Agreement and payment are in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the name of the Participant, or the Participant153s legal representative, and shall deliver certificates representing the Shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

5. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The exercise of this Option and the issuance and allotment of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of federal, state, local and foreign securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company153s Shares may be listed at the time of such issuance or allotment. The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such compliance.

6. Nontransferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Participant.

7. Nature of Grant. In accepting this Option, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

(b) the grant of this Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past;


(d) all decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(e) the Participant153s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(f) the Participant153s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Company or the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or the Employer to terminate the Participant153s employment relationship at any time;

(g) this Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Employer, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary, or Affiliate of the Company and that is outside the scope of the Participant153s employment or service contract, if any;

(h) the future value of the Shares underlying this Option is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i) if the Participant exercises this Option and acquires Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price;

(j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the forfeiture of the Option or the diminution of value of the Shares issued upon exercise resulting from the Participant153s Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of this Option to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company and/or the Employer, waives the Participant153s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company and/or the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant 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 claims; and

(k) for the Participants residing outside of the U.S.A:

(A) this Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(B) this Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, dismissal, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to past services for the Employer, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate; and

(C) in the event of the Participant153s Termination of Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant153s right to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date of Termination of Service and; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing service for purposes of this Option.

This Exhibit B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of July 2010. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information in this Exhibit B as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant153s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Option vests, the Participant exercises his or her Option, or the Participant sells Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant153s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant153s country may apply to his or her situation.

Notifications

Securities Law Information. The Participant should be aware of the Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option. In particular, the Participant may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if the Participant has inside information about the Company.


Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has "insider 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 specific information concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate or the trade in securities issued by such company, which has not been made public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be any Employee in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain Employees working at a Subsidiary or Affiliate in the Netherlands may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when the Participant has such inside information.

If the Participant is uncertain whether the insider-trading rules apply to him or her, he or she should consult his or her personal legal advisor.

NORWAY

There are no country specific provisions.

Tax Clearance for Cash Exercises. If the Participant exercises the Option using a cash exercise method, the Participant must obtain and provide to the Employer, or any third party designated by the Employer or the Company, a Tax Clearance Certificate (with respect to Foreign Investments) bearing the official stamp and signature of the Exchange Control Department of the South African Revenue Service ("SARS"). The Participant must renew this Tax Clearance Certificate every twelve months, or at such other interval as may be required by the SARS. If the Participant uses a cashless exercise method whereby no funds are remitted out of South Africa, no Tax Clearance Certificate is required.

Exchange Control Information. The Participant is subject to a lifetime offshore investment allowance of ZAR4,000,000. This is a cumulative allowance, and the Participant153s ability to remit funds for the purchase of Shares will be reduced if his or her foreign investment limit is utilized to make a transfer of funds offshore. If the Participant exercises his or her Option with cash, the Participant will be subject to this limit. If the ZAR4,000,000 limit will be exceeded, the Participant may still transfer funds for the exercise of the Option; however, the Shares obtained from the exercise must be sold immediately and the full proceeds repatriated to South Africa.

If the Participant exercises the Option using a cashless method of exercise, the value of the Shares acquired using the cashless exercise method will not be counted against the ZAR2,000,000 limit. The sale proceeds of such Shares may be held offshore and will not count against the investment limit.

The Participant should consult his or her personal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable exchange control regulations in South Africa, as such regulations are subject to frequent change. The Participant is solely responsible for complying with all exchange control laws in South Africa, and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from the Participant153s failure to comply with South African exchange control laws.

UNITED KINGDOM

Terms and Conditions

Tax Obligations. The following provisions supplement Section 4.4 of the Agreement:

The Participant agrees that, if Participant does not pay or the Employer or the Company does not withhold from the Participant the full amount of Tax-Related Items that the Participant owes at exercise of the Option, or the release or assignment of the Option for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Option (the "Taxable Event") within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. The Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the HMRC153s official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by the Participant, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to the Participant by the Employer, by withholding in Shares issued upon exercise of the Option or from the cash proceeds from the sale of Shares or by demanding cash or a check from the Participant. The Participant also authorizes the Company to delay the issuance of any Shares unless and until the loan is repaid in full.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that the Participant is an officer or executive director and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by Participant within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable. The Participant acknowledges that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 4.4 of the Agreement, although the Participant acknowledges that he/she ultimately will be responsible for reporting any income tax or National Insurance Contributions due on this additional benefit directly to the HMRC under the self-assessment regime.

National Insurance Contributions Acknowledgment. As a condition of participation in the Plan and the exercise of the Option, the Participant agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the Option and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the "Employer NICs"). To accomplish the foregoing, the Participant agrees to execute a joint election with the Company, the form of such joint election being formally approved by HMRC (the "Joint Election"), and any other required consent or election. The Participant further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Participant and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer. The Participant further agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs from the Participant by any of the means set forth in Section 4.4 of the Agreement.

If the Participant does not enter into a Joint Election prior to exercising the Option or if approval of the Joint Election has been withdrawn by HMRC, the Option shall become null and void without any liability to the Company and/or the Employer and may not be exercised by the Participant.
