Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the net proceeds are distributed to Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), Participant understands that Participant may not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by Participant, in case the indemnification could be considered a loan. In this case, the income tax not collected or paid may constitute a benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Service Recipient (as applicable) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Service Recipient may recover from Participant by any of the means referred to in Section 2.2 of the RSU Agreement.

Eligible Participants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this RSU Agreement, in the United Kingdom only Employees of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiaries are eligible to be granted RSUs. Other persons who are not Employees are not eligible to receive RSUs in the United Kingdom. This RSU Agreement forms the rules of the employee share scheme applicable to, amongst others, the United Kingdom-based Employees of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiaries. All Awards granted to Employees of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiaries who are based in the United Kingdom will be granted on similar terms.
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.
Special Tax Provisions. At the discretion of the Company, the RSUs will not vest until Participant has entered into an election with the Company (or the Service Recipient, as applicable) in a form approved by the Company and Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (a “Joint Election”) under which any liability of the Service Recipient for the employer’s National Insurance contributions arising in respect of the vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the disposal of any Shares issued pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or otherwise pursuant to this RSU Agreement is transferred to and met by Participant.
