NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, and their permitted successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:

1. Terms and Conditions.

(a) Vesting. The option herein granted shall become exercisable in whole or in part as follows:

(i) Exercisable as to 25% of the shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) on the first anniversary of the Grant Date;

(ii) Exercisable as to an additional 25% of the shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) on the second anniversary of the Grant Date;

(vi) If the Participant retires from the Company at any time following the first anniversary of this Agreement and at such time satisfies the Normal Retirement Criteria, the option herein granted shall continue to become exercisable as set forth in

clauses (ii) through (iv) of this Section 1(a). The Normal Retirement Criteria will be satisfied if the Participant shall (x) retire (and satisfy the Company’s criteria for retirement at such time) from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or business units, as the case may be, (y) be at least 55 years of age at the time of such retirement, and (z) have at least ten credited years of service with the Company or its subsidiaries at the time of such retirement.

(vii) If at the time of retirement the Participant satisfies the Normal Retirement Criteria and subsequently dies or becomes totally and permanently disabled before the Participant’s option herein granted becomes exercisable in its entirety as set forth in clause (iv) of this Section 1(a), the option herein granted shall become exercisable as set forth in clause (v) of this Section 1(a).

(viii) If at the time of retirement the Participant satisfies the criteria set forth in Section 1(b)(ii)(4) and subsequently dies or becomes totally and permanently disabled before the expiration of 12 months after the retirement of the Participant, the Participant’s option herein granted shall become exercisable as set forth in clause (v) of this Section 1(a).

(ix) Except as provided in clauses (vi) through (viii) of this Section 1(a) or Appendix A to this Agreement or as the Committee may otherwise determine in its sole discretion, no option herein granted shall become exercisable following termination of the Participant’s employment from the Company or any of its subsidiaries (and no option herein granted shall become exercisable following the Company’s sale of the subsidiary, or the Company’s or a subsidiary’s sale of the division or business unit, that employs the Participant).

(x) Notwithstanding Appendix A to this Agreement, the option granted hereunder shall become exercisable in its entirety as of immediately prior to the consummation of a Change in Control, unless the successor company, or a parent of the successor company, in the Change in Control agrees to assume, replace, or substitute the option granted hereunder (as of the consummation of such Change in Control) with an option on substantially identical terms, as determined by the Committee.

(b) Forfeiture. The unexercised portion of the option herein granted shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void at the time of the earliest of the following to occur:

(i) the expiration of ten years from the date on which the option was granted;

(ii) the expiration of 60 days from the date of termination of the Participant’s employment from the Company (including in connection with the sale of the subsidiary, division or business unit that employs the Participant) or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that

(1) if the Participant’s employment from the Company or any of its subsidiaries terminates because of total and permanent disability, the provisions of Section 1(b)(iii) below shall apply;

(2) if the Participant shall die during employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or during the 60-day period following the date of termination of such employment, the provisions of Section 1(b)(iv) below shall apply;

(3) if the Participant shall retire and satisfy the Normal Retirement Criteria, the provisions of Section 1(b)(v) below shall apply; and

(4) if the Participant shall (x) retire (and satisfy the Company’s criteria for retirement at such time) from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or business units, as the case may be, (y) be at least 55 years of age at the time of such retirement, and (z) have at least five (but less than ten) credited years of service with the Company and its subsidiaries at the time of such retirement, the provisions of Section 1(b)(vi) below shall apply.

If the Participant’s home country is not the United States, for purposes of the option grant, the Participant’s employment relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or one of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not such termination is later found invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Participant’s right to vest in the option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant’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 Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any);

(iii) if Section 1(b)(ii)(1) applies, (i) if the Participant satisfied the Normal Retirement Criteria at the time of the Participant’s total and permanent disability, the expiration of 36 months after termination of the Participant’s employment from the Company or any of its subsidiaries because of total and permanent disability, or (ii) if the Participant did not satisfy the Normal Retirement Criteria at the time of the Participant’s total and permanent disability, the expiration of 12 months after termination of the Participant’s employment from the Company or any of its subsidiaries because of total and permanent disability; provided, however, that if the Participant shall die during the 36-month period specified in clause (i) of this Section 1(b)(iii) or the 12-month period specified in clause (ii) of this Section 1(b)(iii), as applicable, then the unexercised portion shall become null and void upon the expiration of 12 months after death of the Participant;

(iv) if Section 1(b)(ii)(2) applies, (i) if the Participant satisfied the Normal Retirement Criteria at the time of death, the expiration of 36 months after death of the Participant, or (ii) if the Participant did not satisfy the Normal Retirement Criteria at the time of death, 12 months after death of the Participant;

(v) if Section 1(b)(ii)(3) applies, the expiration of 37 months after the retirement of the Participant; provided, however, that if the Participant shall die during the 37-month period following the date of the Participant’s retirement, then the unexercised portion shall become null and void on the later of (i) the expiration of 37 months after the retirement of the Participant and (ii) 12 months after death of the Participant; and

(vi) if Section 1(b)(ii)(4) applies, the expiration of 12 months after the retirement of the Participant; provided, however, that if the Participant shall die during the 12-month period following the date of the Participant’s retirement, then the unexercised portion shall become null and void on the expiration of 12 months after death of the Participant.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any unexercised portion of the option herein granted would terminate and become null and void in accordance with Section 1(b) and the Fair Market Value of the unexercised portion of the option herein granted exceeds the full price for each of the shares purchased pursuant to such option, the then vested portion of the option herein granted shall be deemed to be automatically exercised by the Participant on such last trading day by means of a net exercise without any action by the Participant. Upon such automatic exercise, the Company shall deliver to the Participant the number of shares of Common Stock for which the option was deemed exercised less the number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, as of such date, sufficient to (1) pay the full price for each of the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the option herein granted and (2) satisfy all applicable required tax withholding obligations. Any fractional share shall be settled in cash. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provision (or interpretation) of Section 1(b) to the contrary, the unexercised portion of the option herein granted shall automatically and without notice terminate and become null and void upon the expiration of ten years from the date of this Agreement.

(d) The full price for each of the shares purchased pursuant to the option herein granted shall be $XX.XX.

(e) Full payment for shares purchased by the Participant shall be made at the time of the exercise of the option in whole or in part. No shares shall be issued until full payment therefore has been made, and the Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any shares subject to this option until such shares shall have been issued.

(f) No option granted hereunder may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold, or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer, or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.

(g) In the event of one or more stock splits, stock dividends, stock changes, reclassifications, recapitalizations, or combinations of shares prior to complete exercise of the option herein granted which change the character or amount of the shares subject to the option, this option to the extent that it shall not have been exercised, shall entitle the Participant or the Participant’s executors or administrators to receive in substitution such number and kind of shares as he, she or they would have been entitled to receive if the Participant or the Participant’s executors or administrators had actually owned the shares subject to this option at the time of the occurrence of such change; provided, however, that if the change is of such nature that the Participant or the Participant’s

executors or administrators, upon exercise of the option, would receive property other than shares of stock, then the Board shall adjust the option so that he, she or they shall acquire only shares of stock upon exercise, making such adjustment in the number and kind of shares to be received as the Board shall, in its sole judgment, deem equitable; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not limit the Company’s ability to otherwise adjust the option in a manner consistent with Section 12 of the Plan.

2. Restrictive Covenant; Clawback; Incorporation by Reference.

(a) Restrictive Covenant. If the Participant’s home country is Australia, Canada, or the United States, the option granted hereunder is conditioned upon the Participant’s agreement to this Agreement and the Restrictive Covenant Agreement furnished herewith within ninety (90) days from the date of this Agreement. If the Participant’s home country is not Australia, Canada, or the United States, the effectiveness of the option granted hereunder is conditioned upon (i) the execution and delivery of a restrictive covenant by the Participant to the Company in connection with a previous grant by the Company of any award granted pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Award Plan or the Plan or (ii) the execution and delivery by the Participant within ninety (90) days from the date of this Agreement of the restrictive covenant separately provided by the Participant’s local human resource department. If the Company does not receive the signed (whether electronically or otherwise) restrictive covenant and this Agreement within such ninety-day period, this Agreement shall be terminable by the Company.

(b) Clawback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the option granted hereunder may be terminated and become null and void without consideration if the Participant, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (i) engages in an activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interests of the Company or any Affiliate, including but not limited to fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, or (ii) without the consent of the Company, while employed by or providing services to the Company or any Affiliate or after termination of such employment or service, violates a non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disclosure covenant or agreement (including, if applicable, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement furnished herewith) between the Participant and the Company or any Affiliate. If the Participant engages in any activity referred to in the preceding sentence, the Participant shall, at the sole discretion of the Committee, forfeit any gain realized in respect of the option granted hereunder (which gain shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the difference between the price for shares set forth in Section 1(d) above and the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan), on the applicable exercise date, of the shares of Common Stock for which the option was exercised), and repay such gain to the Company.

(c) Incorporation by Reference. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan.

3. Compliance with Legal Requirements. The granting and delivery of the option granted hereunder, and any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement, shall be

subject to all applicable federal, state, local, and foreign laws, rules, and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.

4. Transferability. The option granted hereunder may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold, or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer, or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.

5. Miscellaneous.

(a) Waiver. Any right of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Committee. No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach.

(b) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

(c) No Right to Employment. If the Participant’s home country is the United States, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant any right to be retained, in any position, as an employee, consultant, or director of the Company or its Affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or its Affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or discharge the Participant with or without cause at any time for any reason whatsoever. Although over the course of employment terms and conditions of employment may change, the at-will term of employment of the Participant will not change.

(d) Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, the Participant and the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Participant.

(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Plan and, if applicable, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto; provided, however, that if the Participant’s home country is Australia, Canada, or the United States, the Participant understands that the Participant may have an existing agreement(s) with the Company, through prior awards, acquisition of a prior employer or otherwise, that may include the same or similar covenants as those in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement furnished herewith, and acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenant Agreement is meant to supplement any such agreement(s) such that the covenants in the agreements that provide the Company with the greatest protection enforceable under applicable law shall control, and that the parties do not intend to create any ambiguity or

conflict through the execution of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement that would release the Participant from the obligations the Participant has assumed under the restrictive covenants in any of these agreements. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, except for any changes permitted without consent of the Participant under the Plan.

(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof, or principles of conflicts of laws of any other jurisdiction which could cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(g) Headings. The headings of the Sections hereof are provided for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement.

Participants whose home country is not the United States are subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Appendices B, C and D to this Agreement, as applicable to the Participant’s country. Participants whose home country is not the United States should review Appendices B, C and D to this Agreement carefully.

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

(b) the grant of the 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 in the past;

(d) the option grant and the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or services contract with the Employer, the Company, or any Affiliate, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any);

(e) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the option and the shares of Common Stock, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate of the Company;

(l) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the option resulting from the termination of the Participant’s employment (for any reason whatsoever, and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the option to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer, or any Affiliate, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company, the Employer, and any Affiliate 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 claim;

(m) unless otherwise provided in the Plan, in this Agreement, or by the Company in its discretion, the option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock; and

(n) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the option or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of the option or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise.

Further, the Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without the Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of shares.

The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data will be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) will have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the Company, Fidelity Stock Plan Services, and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that he or she may, at any

time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant options or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix D shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement, or in the Plan, as applicable.

Terms and Conditions

This Appendix D includes special terms and conditions that govern the options granted to the Participant if he or she works and/or resides in one of the countries listed herein. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in this Appendix D, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. These terms and conditions are in addition to or, if so indicated, in replacement of the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the special terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Participant.

Notifications

This Appendix D also includes information of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the laws in effect in the countries listed below as of the Grant Date. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the information contained in this Appendix D may be out of date at the time the Participant exercises the option or sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

In addition, this supplement is general in nature and does not discuss all of the various laws, rules and regulations that may apply. It may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice if he or she has any questions about his or her specific situation.

If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the information contained herein may not be applicable in the same manner.

The Participant hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.

Foreign specified property, including shares, options to purchase shares (i.e., options), and other rights to receive shares (e.g., restricted stock units) of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident generally must be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the Participant’s specified foreign property exceeds CAD$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, the options must be reported (generally at a nil cost) if the CAD$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because the Participant holds other foreign specified property. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares of Common Stock. The ACB ordinarily is equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of acquisition, but if the Participant owns other shares of Common Stock, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. The Form T1135 generally must be filed by April 30 of the following year. The Participant should consult his or her personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.
