THIS RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT ISSUANCE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of ____________ (the “Award Date”), is made by and between Genpact Limited, an exempted limited company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”) and ________________________ (“Participant”). To the extent not defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Genpact Limited 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan for the purpose of promoting the interests of the Company and its shareholders by attracting and retaining exceptional directors, officers, employees and consultants and enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company.
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant to Participant restricted share units under the Plan as provided for herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:
1.Grant of Restricted Share Units. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date, an award (the “Award”) of restricted share units under the Plan. Each restricted share unit represents the right to receive one Common Share on or following the vesting date of that unit. The number of Common Shares subject to the awarded restricted share units, the applicable vesting schedule for the restricted share units and the underlying shares, the dates on which those vested shares shall be issued to Participant and the remaining terms and conditions governing the Award shall be as set forth in this Agreement.
Number of Shares
Subject to Award: _________ Common Shares (the “Shares”)
Vesting Schedule: The Shares subject to the Award shall vest in three successive equal annual installments on January 10th, ____, ____ and ____ (each such vesting date, a “Vesting Date” and each one-year period ending on a Vesting Date, the “Vesting Period”), provided that Participant remains in employment or service with the Company (or an Affiliate) through such Vesting Dates, except as provided in Sections 3(b) or 4.
1
Issuance Dates: Each Share in which Participant vests in accordance with the foregoing Vesting Schedule, or under Sections 3(b) or 4, shall be issued on the date (the “Issuance Date”) on which that Share so vests or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable. The issuance of the Shares shall be subject to the Company’s collection of any Applicable Taxes in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.
2.Limited Transferability. Prior to actual receipt of the Shares which vest and become issuable hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares. Any Shares which vest hereunder but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance or to Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of this Award. Participant may make such a beneficiary designation at any time by filing the appropriate form with the Committee or its designee.
3.Cessation of Employment.
(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, Section 4 or Participant’s employment agreement, should Participant cease employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates for any reason prior to vesting in one or more Shares subject to this Award, then the Award shall be immediately canceled with respect to those unvested Shares. Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those canceled units.
(b) If Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates ceases by reason of Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement prior to vesting in all of the Shares subject to this Award, then Participant shall, on the date of Participant’s cessation of employment or service, vest in the number of Shares determined by multiplying (x) the number of Shares that would have vested on the next Vesting Date following such cessation had Participant remained in employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through that Vesting Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months that Participant was employed or in service during the Vesting Period in which Participant’s cessation of employment or service occurs and the denominator of which is 12, rounded up to the closest whole month. For purposes of this Award, Retirement shall mean Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates, other than for Cause, if Participant (i) is, at the time of such termination, age 60 or over and (ii) has completed at least 10 years of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate at the time of such termination.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, Participant’s date of termination of employment shall mean the date on which Participant ceases active employment, and shall not be extended by any notice period, whether mandated or implied under local law during which Participant is not actually employed or providing services (e.g., garden leave or similar leave) or during or for which Participant receives pay in lieu of notice or severance pay. To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, the Award shall not vest during any notice period, regardless of whether Participant continues active employment during such period, and the Award shall be canceled on the date notice of termination is provided by Participant or the Company (or an
2
Affiliate). The Company shall have the sole discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Agreement without reference to any other agreement, written or oral, including Participant’s contract of employment, if applicable.
4.Change of Control.
(a)In the event a Change of Control occurs while this Award is outstanding, then all the Shares subject to this Award shall be converted into the right to receive for each such Share the same consideration per Common Share payable to the other holders of such Common Shares in consummation of the Change of Control, and such consideration, to the extent vested at the time of the Change of Control or in accordance with the Vesting Schedule of this Agreement and the Plan, shall be subsequently distributed on the applicable Issuance Date.
(b)Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, if Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause within 24 months following the Change of Control, then the Shares (or other consideration) subject to this Award, to the extent outstanding, shall become fully vested as of such termination of employment or service.
(c)Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, if Participant’s employment or service with the Company ceases by reason of Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement following the Change of Control, then the Shares (or other consideration) subject to this Award, to the extent outstanding, shall vest in accordance with Section 3(b).
(d)This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
(e)If this Award is not assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the Change of Control in accordance with the Plan, then the Shares issuable under this Award or other consideration payable with respect to such Shares in connection with the Change of Control shall be issued on the effective date of the Change of Control or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) business days after such effective date.
(f)Cause Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean “Cause” as defined in any employment or consulting agreement between Participant and the Company or an Affiliate in effect at the time of termination or, in the absence of such an employment or consulting agreement: (A) any conviction by a court of, or entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere by Participant with respect to, a felony or any lesser crime involving moral turpitude or a material element of which is fraud or dishonesty; (B) Participant’s willful dishonesty of a substantial nature towards the Company and any of its Affiliates; (C) Participant’s use of alcohol or drugs which materially interferes with the performance of his duties to the Company and/or its Affiliates or which materially compromises the integrity and reputation of Participant or the Company and/or its Affiliates; or (D) Participant’s material,
3
knowing and intentional failure to comply with material applicable laws with respect to the execution of the Company’s and its Affiliates’ business operations.
5.Issuance of Shares; Applicable Taxes.
(a)On the Issuance Date or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Company shall issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for the number of Common Shares underlying the restricted share units which vest under the Award on such date, subject, however, to the Company’s collection of any Applicable Taxes required to be withheld, collected or accounted for with respect to the issuance of the Shares.
(b)Any such Applicable Taxes shall be paid through an automatic Share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, at the time of such issuance, a portion of the Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of those Applicable Taxes; provided, however, that the amount of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, require that such Applicable Taxes be paid through Participant’s delivery of Participant’s separate check payable to the Company in the amount of such taxes.
(c)In no event will any fractional shares be issued.
(d)The holder of this Award shall not have any shareholder rights, including voting or dividend rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance after the satisfaction of the Applicable Taxes.
6.Restrictive Covenants and Forfeiture.
(a)In consideration for the grant of the Award, Participant agrees to comply with the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 6(d) below (the “Restrictive Covenants”).
(b)Participant acknowledges and agrees that any breach by Participant of the Restrictive Covenants will result in irreparable injury to the Company or its Affiliates, as the case may be, for which money damages could not adequately compensate such entity. Therefore, the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have the right (in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have at law or in equity and in addition to the forfeiture requirements set forth in Section 6(c) below) to, as permitted by applicable law, seek to enforce this Section 6 and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company or any of its Affiliates may have for a breach, or threatened breach, of the Restrictive Covenants. Participant agrees that in any action in which the Company or any of its Affiliates seeks injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, Participant will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of this Section 6 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. Participant consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal and state
4
courts located in New York City and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any such court. Participant also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices, or other papers.
(c) Participant acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event Participant breaches the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Section 6:
(i)The Company shall have the right to terminate this Award (and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under this Award) to the extent outstanding, and
(ii)The Company may in its discretion cancel any Shares issued hereunder underlying restricted share units that vested within twelve (12) months of Participant’s breach of the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Section 6; provided, that if Participant has disposed of any such Shares received hereunder, then the Company may require Participant to pay to the Company, in cash, the fair market value of such Shares as of the date of disposition.
(d)Based on the understanding that Participant will be given access to valuable clients and confidential and proprietary information, Participant agrees that while an employee of the Company (or an Affiliate) and for a period of one (1) year from cessation of employment, Participant will not directly or indirectly:
(i)enter, engage in, participate in, or assist, either as an individual on Participant’s own or as a partner, joint venturer, employee, agent, consultant, officer, trustee, director, owner, part-owner, shareholder, or in any other capacity, in the primary country(ies) in which Participant performed services, directly or indirectly, any other business organization whose activities or products are competitive with any Company activity, product or service that Participant engaged in, participated in, or had confidential information about during Participant’s last 12 months of employment with the Company; provided that if Participant is subject to separate non-competition restrictive covenants in an employment agreement or offer letter with the Company, then the non-competition covenants in this subsection (i) shall not apply to Participant, and the non-competition covenants set forth in Participant’s employment agreement or offer letter will continue to apply to Participant;
(ii)either alone or in association with others, solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to divert or take away, the business or patronage of any of the actual or prospective clients, customers, accounts or business partners of the Company (or any Affiliate) with whom Participant had direct interaction with during Participant’s employment with the Company (or any Affiliate); and
(iii)on Participant’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, recruit or attempt to persuade any person to terminate such person’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate, whether or not such person is a full-time employee or whether or not such employment is pursuant to a written agreement or is at-will.
5
(e)In the event of Participant’s breach or anticipatory breach of this Section 6, or Participant’s claim in a declaratory judgment action that all or part of the covenants contained in this Section 6 are unenforceable, Participant and the Company agree that in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Company under law, the Company shall be entitled to recover from Participant all reasonable sums and costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company to defend or enforce this Section 6.
(f)The restrictive periods set forth in this Section 6 shall not expire and shall be tolled during any period in which Participant is in violation of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6, and therefore such restrictive periods shall be extended for a period equal to the duration(s) of Participant’s violation.
Recognizing that the limitations in this Agreement permit Participant to continue Participant’s chosen career in the same geographic area without any interruption while protecting the Company’s legitimate business interests in its client and employee relationships, Participant agrees that the above restrictions are reasonable including the short length of time, the limitation as to identified clients and employees, and the specific area of business in which competition is limited as to those clients. Participant agrees that these limitations are reasonable given the highly competitive nature of the Company’s business and are required for the Company’s protection based upon numerous factors including the knowledge and information to which Participant will have access during Participant’s employment with the Company. Participant’s agreement to observe the restrictions set forth in this agreement is material consideration for Participant’s employment with the Company as well as eligibility to receive grants in the Plan. Participant represents that his/her experience and capabilities are such that the restrictions contained in Section 6 above will not prevent Participant from obtaining employment or otherwise earning a living at the same general level of economic benefit as earned with the Company. Participant further agrees that, should a court determine that any provision, term or condition set forth in this Section 6 is invalid, the court may alter or modify any such provision, term or condition in a manner so as to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests. For the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants in this Section 6 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, and do not amend, modify, or supersede, any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or similar restrictive covenants that run in favor of the Company or its Affiliates and by which Participant is bound.
Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Participant from making passive investments of not more than one percent (1%) of a class of securities of any business enterprise registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6 shall not apply if Participant works or resides in California.
7.Clawback. The Company shall have the right to terminate this Award (and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under this Award) to the extent outstanding and to cancel any Shares issued hereunder in the event of any of the following:
6
(i)If a Participant resident in the United States or India has breached any restrictive covenant (whether non-solicitation, non-competition, non-disparagement or confidentiality) under any agreement between Participant and the Company or an Affiliate during employment or during one (1) year period following termination of Participant’s employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate;
(ii)If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement for any part of the Performance Period due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws which the Committee determines is the result of fraud, negligence, or intentional or gross misconduct by Participant;
(iii)In the circumstances and manner provided in any clawback or compensation recovery policy that may be adopted or implemented by the Company and in effect from time to time on or after the Award Date; and/or
(iv)If the Committee determines that Participant committed an act or omission while an employee or other service provider of the Company (or Affiliate) that was not discovered by the Company (or any Affiliate) until after the termination of Participant’s employment or service that would, if Participant were an active employee or other service provider of the Company (or Affiliate) at the time such act or omission is discovered, be reason for termination of Participant’s employment or service for Cause.
For purposes of this Section 7, clause (i) above shall only apply to Shares that have not yet vested or that vested within twelve (12) months of the date of such breach.
The Company’s rights to cancel the Award and any Shares issued hereunder pursuant to this Section 7 shall be in addition to the Company’s rights under Section 6 of this Agreement.
Participant further acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and Award shall also be subject to the Company’s Compensation Clawback Policy and any other applicable clawback or recoupment policies and other policies that may be implemented by the Company or its board of directors from time to time. Participant further agrees that in the event it is determined in accordance with any such policy that this Award or any portion thereof must be forfeited or reimbursed to the Company, Participant will promptly take any action necessary to effectuate such forfeiture and/or reimbursement as determined by the Company or its board of directors.
8.Sections 409A and 457A.
(a)It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the maximum extent permissible, comply with the requirements of the short-term deferral exceptions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and Section 457A of the Code and any guidance with respect to Code Section 457A, including but not limited to Notice 2009-8. Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of this Agreement would otherwise contravene the requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A or of Code Section 457A applicable to such short-term deferral exceptions, then those provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result
7
in a violation of the requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and Code Section 457A and any guidance with respect to Code Section 457A, including but not limited to Notice 2009-8, that apply to such exceptions.
(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent this Award may be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement under Code Section 409A, then Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of Participant’s cessation of continued employment or service shall actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service (as determined under Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations thereunder) or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Code Section 409A, as determined by the Committee in accordance with consistent and uniform standards applied to all other Code Section 409A arrangements of the Company, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). The deferred Shares or other distributable amount shall be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the first day of the month immediately following the date the Company receives proof of Participant’s death.
9.Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares as the Committee may consider appropriate and may require Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares in order to be in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
10.Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and Participant and Participant’s assigns, beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors.

ADDENDUM A TO THE RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT ISSUANCE AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS
This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Share Unit Award granted to Participant if Participant works or resides outside the United States.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Plan or the Agreement and have the meanings set forth therein.
1.No Acquired Right. Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, the grant of awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Committee and the Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. All decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.
(b)This Award (and any similar awards the Company may in the future grant to Participant, even if such awards are made repeatedly or regularly, and regardless of their amount), and Shares acquired under the Plan (A) are wholly discretionary and occasional, are not a term or condition of employment and do not form part of a contract of employment, or any other working arrangement, between Participant and the Company or any Affiliate; (B) do not create any contractual entitlement to receive future awards or benefits in lieu thereof; and (C) do not form part of salary or remuneration for purposes of determining pension payments or any other purposes, including without limitation termination indemnities, severance, resignation, payment in lieu of notice, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-term service awards, pension or retirement benefits, welfare benefits or similar payments, except as otherwise required by the applicable law of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the award is subject.
(c)This Award and the Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.
(d)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(e)In the event that Participant’s employer is not the Company, the grant of this Award and any similar awards the Company may grant in the future to Participant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company and, furthermore, the grant of this Award and any similar awards the Company may grant in the future to Participant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with Participant’s employer or any Affiliate.
(f)The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or the Shares.
A-1
(g)Other than as set out in this Agreement, Participant shall have no rights, claim or entitlement to compensation or damages as a result of Participant’s cessation of employment for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of contract or local labor law, insofar as these rights, claim or entitlement arise or may arise from Participant’s ceasing to have rights under this Award as a result of such cessation or loss or diminution in value of the Award or any of the Shares issuable under this Award as a result of such cessation, and Participant irrevocably releases Participant’s employer, the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, from any such rights, entitlement or claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such right or claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived Participant’s entitlement to pursue such rights or claim.
2.Data Protection (Jurisdictions other than European Union/European Economic Area/Switzerland/United Kingdom).
(a)In order to facilitate Participant’s participation in the Plan and the administration of the Award, it will be necessary for contractual and legal purposes for the Company (or its Affiliates or payroll administrators) to collect, hold and process certain personal information and sensitive personal information about Participant (including, without limitation, Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, nationality, social insurance or other identification number and job title and details of the Award and other awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding and Shares held by Participant). Participant consents explicitly, willingly, and unambiguously to the Company (or its Affiliates or payroll administrators) collecting, holding and processing Participant’s personal data and transferring this data (in electronic or other form) by and among, as applicable, Participant’s employer, the Company and its Affiliates and other third parties (collectively, the “Data Recipients”) insofar as is reasonably necessary to implement, administer and manage the Plan and the Award. Participant authorizes the Data Recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the data for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and the Award. Participant understands that the data will be transferred to E*TRADE, or such other broker or third party as may be selected by the Company in the future which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the Data Recipients may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have a lower standard of data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country.
(b)The Data Recipients will treat Participant’s personal data as private and confidential and will not disclose such data for purposes other than the management and administration of the Plan and the Award and will take reasonable measures to keep Participant’s personal data private, confidential, accurate and current. Participant understands that the data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan.
A-2
(c)Participant understands that Participant may, at any time, make a request to view Participant’s personal data, require any necessary corrections to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company and that these rights are subject to legal restrictions but acknowledges that without the use of such data it may not be practicable for the Company to administer Participant’s involvement in the Plan in a timely fashion or at all and this may be detrimental to Participant and may result in the possible exclusion of Participant from continued participation with respect to this Award or any future awards under the Plan.
3.Data Protection (European Union/European Economic Area/Switzerland/United Kingdom).
(a) In order to facilitate Participant’s participation in the Plan and the administration of the Award, it will be necessary for contractual, legitimate interest and legal purposes for the Company (or its Affiliates or payroll administrators) to collect, hold and process certain personal data and, where required for legal purposes with Participant’s freely given consent or for employment law purposes, any special category personal data about Participant. Such personal data includes, without limitation, Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, nationality, social insurance or other identification number and job title and details of the Award and other awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding and Shares held by Participant. Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees to the Company (or its Affiliates or payroll administrators) collecting, holding and processing Participant’s personal data and transferring this data (in electronic or other form) by and among, as applicable, Participant’s employer, the Company and its Affiliates and other third parties (collectively, the “Data Recipients”) insofar as is reasonably necessary to implement, administer and manage the Plan and the Award. Participant understands that the Data Recipients will receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the data for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and the Award.

Participant acknowledges that without the Company’s use of such data it may not be practicable for the Company to administer Participant’s involvement in the Plan in a timely fashion or at all and this may be detrimental to Participant and may result in the possible exclusion of Participant from continued participation with respect to this Award or any future awards under the Plan.

For tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares to which Participant is entitled to under the Award notwithstanding that a number of Shares are withheld for purposes of paying Applicable Taxes.

Participant acknowledges that regardless of any action the Company (or any Affiliate employing or retaining Participant) takes with respect to any or all Applicable Taxes, the ultimate liability for all Applicable Taxes legally due by Participant is and remains Participant’s responsibility and that the Company (and its Affiliates) (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Applicable Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, and the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at settlement; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate

6.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws.

SPAIN
Nature of Grant. The following paragraphs are hereby added to the end of Section 1 of Addendum A titled “No Acquired Rights.ˮ
“In accepting the grant of the Award, Participant consents to participate in the Plan and acknowledges that Participant has received a copy of the Plan.
Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant restricted share unit awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company (or an Affiliate) 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 (or any Affiliate). Consequently, Participant understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and any Shares issued are not part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Affiliate employing or retaining Participant) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, Participant understands that Participant will not be entitled to continue vesting in the Award after termination of Participant’s employment or service. In addition, Participant understands that the Award would not be granted to Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to herein; thus, Participant 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 Award and any right to the Award shall be null and void.
Further, the vesting of the Award is expressly conditioned on Participant’s continued employment or service, such that upon termination of Participant’s employment or service for any reason whatsoever, the Award may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of termination of Participant’s employment or service (as determined under the Agreement). This will be the case, for example, even if (1) Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons; or (2) Participant’s termination of employment or service is due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or Participant’s employer. Consequently, upon
B-10
Participant’s termination of employment or service for any of the above reasons, Participant may automatically lose any rights to the Award to the extent not vested on the date of Participant’s termination of employment or service, as described in the Agreement.”
Securities Law Notification. No “offer of securities to the public,” within the meaning of Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the Award. The Plan, the Agreement and any other documents evidencing the grant of the Award have not been, nor will they be, registered with the Comisión Nacional del ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ de Valores (the Spanish securities regulator), and none of those documents constitutes a public offering prospectus.
SWITZERLAND

UNITED KINGDOM
Award Payable Only in Shares. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the grant of the Award does not provide Participant any right to receive a cash payment and the Award may be settled only in Shares.
Taxes. Participant indemnifies the Company and Participant’s employer for any Applicable Taxes that may be payable with respect to the full number of Shares vested and issued (including those Shares that are deemed issued). To the extent any Shares are withheld by the Company in accordance with Section 5(b) of the Agreement, the Company shall pay over to Participant’s employer sufficient moneys to satisfy Participant’s liability under such indemnity. Any reference to the withholding of Applicable Taxes, including any obligation to withhold, shall be treated as including a reference to any amount of Applicable Taxes in respect of which the Company (or an Affiliate) is required to account to any tax authority.
As a condition to the issuance of Shares under this Award, Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees, if so required by the Company, to enter into a joint election within section 431 of (UK) Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (“ITEPA”) disapplying all restrictions in respect of the acquisition of “restricted securities” (as defined in Section 423 and 424 of ITEPA).
Termination of Service. Participant has no right to compensation or damages on account of any loss in respect of an Award under the Plan where the loss arises or is claimed to arise in whole or part from: (a) the termination of Participant’s office or employment; or (b) notice to terminate Participant’s office or employment. This exclusion of liability shall apply however termination of office or employment, or the giving of notice, is caused, and however compensation or damages are claimed. For the purpose of the Plan, the implied duty of trust and confidence is expressly excluded.
