16.Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Except as provided in Section 14, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Employee’s future participation in or rights under any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company and for which Employee may qualify.

17.No Set-Off. Other than with respect to the Recoupment Policy (as hereinafter defined), the Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that the Company may have against Employee or others.

18.Taxes.

(a)All payments under this Agreement shall be made subject to applicable tax withholding, and the Company shall withhold from any payments under this Agreement all federal, state and local taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any law or governmental rule or regulation. Except as may be otherwise specified under applicable law, Employee shall bear all expense of, and be solely responsible for, all federal, state, local or foreign taxes due with respect to any payment received under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

(b)If the payments and benefits received or to be received by Employee in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of Employee’s employment (whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (“Contract Payments”) or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company (collectively with the Contract Payments, the “Total Payments”), would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, then the Total Payments shall be reduced, in the manner set forth below, by the minimum amount necessary to result in no portion of the Total Payments being non‑deductible to

the Company pursuant to Section 280G of the Code or subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.

(c)All determinations required to be made under this Section 18, including whether a reduction in Total Payments is required, the amount of any such reduction and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by an accounting or law firm of recognized standing reasonably selected by the Company (the “Firm”), which may be, but will not be required to be, the Company’s independent auditors. The Firm shall submit its determination and detailed supporting calculations to both Employee and the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a notice from either the Company or Employee that Employee may receive payments that may be “parachute payments.” If the Firm determines that a reduction is required by this Section 18, the Contract Payments consisting of cash severance shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code, and the Company shall pay such reduced amount to Employee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If additional Contract Payments must be reduced pursuant to this Section 18 after the cash severance has been reduced to zero, the Contract Payments allocable to performance-vested Equity Awards shall next be reduced, followed by the Contract Payments allocable to time-vested Equity Awards, to the extent necessary to satisfy the requirements of this Section 18.

(d)Employee and the Company shall each provide the Firm access to and copies of any books, records, and documents in the possession of Employee or the Company, as the case may be, reasonably requested by the Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Firm in connection with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations contemplated by this Section 18. The fees and expenses of the Firm for its services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by this Section 18 shall be borne by the Company.

19.Confidential Information. Employee agrees that Employee’s services to the Company have been and will continue to be of a special, unique and extraordinary character, and that Employee’s position places Employee in a position of confidence and trust with the Company’s customers and employees. Employee also recognizes that Employee’s position with the Company will give Employee substantial access to Confidential Information (as defined below), the disclosure of which to competitors of the Company would cause the Company to suffer substantial and irreparable damage. Employee recognizes, therefore, that it is in the Company’s legitimate business interest to restrict Employee’s use of Confidential Information for any purposes other than the discharge of Employee’s employment duties at the Company, and to limit any potential appropriation of Confidential Information by Employee for the benefit of the Company’s competitors and to the detriment of the Company. Accordingly, Employee agrees as follows:

(a)Employee will not at any time, whether during or after the termination of Employee’s employment, reveal, or allow to be revealed to any person or entity any of the trade secrets or confidential information of the Company or of any third party that the Company is under an obligation to keep confidential (including but not limited to trade secrets or confidential information respecting inventions, products, designs, methods, know-how, techniques, systems, processes, software programs, works of authorship, customer lists, projects, plans and proposals) (“Confidential Information”), except as may be required in the ordinary course of

performing Employee’s duties as an employee of the Company, and Employee shall keep secret all matters entrusted to Employee and shall not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner that may injure or cause loss or may be calculated to injure or cause loss whether directly or indirectly to the Company. By way of example and not limitation, Confidential Information also includes any and all information, whether or not meeting the legal definition of a trade secret, concerning the Company’s actual, planned or contemplated: (i) marketing plans, business plans, strategies, forecasts, budgets, projections and costs; (ii) personnel information; (iii) customer, vendor and supplier lists; (iv) customer, vendor and supplier needs, transaction histories, contacts, volumes, characteristics, agreements and prices; (v) promotions, operations, sales, marketing, and research and development; (vi) business operations, internal structures and financial affairs; (vii) software and operating systems and procedures; (viii) pricing structure of the Company’s services and products; (ix) proposed services and products; (x) contracts with other parties; (xi) performance characteristics of the Company’s products; and (xii) Inventions and Works (each as defined in Section 20).

In addition, in the event that Employee is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, it is agreed that Employee will provide the Company with prompt notice of such request(s) so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Company grants a waiver hereunder, Employee may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that Employee is legally compelled to disclose and will exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential Information so furnished.

(c)Further, Employee agrees that during Employee’s employment Employee shall not take, use or permit to be used any notes, memoranda, reports, lists, records, drawings, sketches, specifications, software programs, data, documentation or other materials of any nature relating to any matter within the scope of the business of the Company or concerning any of its dealings or affairs otherwise than for the benefit of the Company. Employee further agrees that Employee shall not, after the termination of Employee’s employment, use or permit to be used any such notes, memoranda, reports, lists, records, drawings, sketches,

specifications, software programs, data, documentation or other materials, it being agreed that all of the foregoing shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company and that, immediately upon the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee shall deliver all of the foregoing plus any other Confidential Information, and all copies thereof, to the Company, at its main office.

(d)Employee agrees that upon the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee will not take or retain without written authorization any documents, files or other property of the Company, and Employee will return promptly to the Company any such documents, files or property in Employee’s possession or custody, including any copies thereof maintained in any medium or format. Employee recognizes that all documents, files and property that Employee has received and will receive from the Company, including but not limited to scientific research, customer lists, handbooks, memoranda, product specifications, and other materials (with the exception of documents relating to benefits to which Employee might be entitled following the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company), are for the exclusive use of the Company and employees who are discharging their responsibilities on behalf of the Company, and that Employee has no claim or right to the continued use, possession or custody of such documents, files or property following the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company.

(e)These restrictions shall not apply to any use or disclosure authorised by the Board or required by law, or any protected disclosure within the meaning of section 43A of the Employment Rights ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

(f)Employee acknowledges that, where applicable, the Company has provided Employee with the following notice of immunity rights in compliance with the requirements of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016: (i) Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any U.S. federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of Confidential Information that is made in confidence to a U.S. federal, state or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (ii) Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any U.S. federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of Confidential Information that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; and (iii) if Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose the Confidential Information to Employee’s attorney and use the Confidential Information in the court proceeding, if Employee files any document containing the Confidential Information under seal, and does not disclose the Confidential Information, except pursuant to court order. However, under no circumstance will Employee be authorized to disclose any information covered by attorney-client privilege or attorney work product of the Company without prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel or other officer designated by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to impede Employee (or any other individual) from reporting possible violations of U.S. federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S.

Congress, and any agency Inspector General of the U.S. government, or making other disclosures under the whistleblower provisions of U.S. federal law or regulation.

(d)Employee acknowledges that all of the rights, titles and interests in and to any and all such Inventions and Works that Employee may acquire in such Inventions or Works that are conceived, made, reduced to practice, developed, authored, created, drawn or written at any time while Employee is employed by the Company shall automatically vest in the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(e)Employee acknowledges that, because of the nature of Employee’s duties and the particular responsibilities arising from the nature of those duties, Employee has, and shall have at all times while employed by the Company, a special obligation to further the interests of the Company.

(f)Without prejudice to Section 20(d) and to the extent that the rights, titles and interests referred to therein do not vest in the Company automatically, Employee agrees to assign, transfer and convey, and hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Company all of the rights, titles and interests in and to any and all such Inventions and Works that Employee has or may acquire in such Inventions or Works that are conceived, made, reduced to practice, developed, authored, created, drawn or written at any time while Employee is employed by the Company and for a period of six (6) months thereafter. Employee agrees that the Company will be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights in connection therewith, and agrees to take all such actions as may be requested by the Company during Employee’s employment with the Company and at any time thereafter, with respect to any such Inventions or Works to confirm or evidence such assignment, transfer, conveyance or ownership, and to assist in the Company’s maintenance, enforcement, license, assignment, transfer, or conveyance of rights in respect of the Inventions or Works.

(g)By way of example and not limitation, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Company, Employee agrees to execute, acknowledge, swear to, seal and deliver to the Company, any and all lawful instruments, documents and papers, give evidence and do any and all other lawful acts that, in the opinion of the Company, are or may be necessary or desirable to document such assignment, transfer and conveyance or to enable the Company to file and prosecute applications for and to acquire, maintain and enforce any and all patents, trademarks, copyrights and other property rights under United States, local, state or foreign law (including English law) with respect to any such Inventions or Works or to obtain any extension, validation, reissue, continuance or renewal of any such patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property right. By way of further example and not limitation, Employee agrees to meet with the

Company representatives or attorneys for the purpose of initiating, maintaining or defending litigation, administrative or other proceedings; and to participate fully in litigation, administrative or other proceedings as requested by the Company. In the event that the Company may be unable, for any reason whatsoever, after reasonable effort, to secure Employee’s signature on any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property application or other papers, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents, as Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on behalf of Employee to execute, acknowledge, swear to, seal and deliver to the Company and to file any such application or applications or other papers, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the provisions of this Section 20 of this Agreement.

(h)The Company agrees to reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses incurred by Employee in complying with the provisions of Sections 20(d) and 20(e) of this Agreement. The Company and Employee agree that Employee is not entitled to additional compensation beyond that paid to Employee for the period of time that he is employed by the Company, which compensation, along with the Company’s understandings set forth in this Agreement, is expressly acknowledged to be adequate consideration for all of the Employee promises and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(i)Employee expressly acknowledges and states that all Works that are made by Employee (solely or jointly with others) are being created at the instance of the Company and are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 USC § 101. In the event that such laws are inapplicable or in the event that any such Works, or any part thereof, are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a work made for hire, this Agreement will operate as an irrevocable and unconditional assignment by Employee to the Company of all Employee’s right, title and interest (including, without limitation, all rights in and to the copyrights throughout the world, including the right to prepare derivative works and the rights to all renewals and extensions) in the Works in perpetuity.

(j)If, for any reason, any rights, titles and interests in and to any of the Inventions and Works cannot be lawfully assigned, transferred or conveyed to the Company pursuant to Section 20 Employee grants the Company an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, unconditional, irrevocable license to use such Inventions or Works for any purpose whatsoever

(k)To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Employee hereby absolutely and irrevocably waives, in respect of the Inventions and Works (and any updates or revisions thereto), all moral rights and other rights to be identified as the author of any Inventions or Works and all rights to object to derogatory treatment of the Inventions or Works to which the Employee may now or at any future time be entitled, including under the (UK) Copyright, Designs and Patents ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ as amended from time to time and under all similar or equivalent legislation from time to time in force anywhere in the world, and Employee agrees not to support, maintain or permit any claim for infringement of such moral rights.

(l)Employee represents that Attachment A to this Agreement describes all inventions and works, whether patentable or not, that have been conceived, made, reduced to practice, developed, authored, created, drawn or written prior to

Employee’s employment by the Company; provided, however, that, Employee has not disclosed in Attachment A information that is a trade secret belonging to another, or that is the subject of a contract preventing Employee’s disclosure of the information to the Company.

21.Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Employee hereunder, Employee acknowledges that during the course of Employee’s employment with the Company, the Company will provide Employee Confidential Information, which Employee promises to not disclose. Further, Employee will become and/or remain familiar with the Company’s trade secrets and with other Confidential Information concerning the Company and that Employee’s services shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company, and therefore, the Employee agrees that some restrictions on Employee’s activities during and after Employee’s employment are necessary to protect the goodwill, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company:

(a)During the period of Employee’s employment by the Company and, if Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, for a period of one (1) year thereafter (less any time spent on Garden Leave) (“Covenant Period”), except with the written consent of the Board, Employee shall not directly or indirectly, own, control, finance or participate in the ownership, control or financing of, or be employed by or provide services to, any Competitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent Employee from providing services to, or being employed by, or owning, controlling, financing or participating in the ownership, control or financing of, any diversified entity or other person (other than the entities listed on Attachment B) that is engaged in the Restricted Business, so long as (i) the Restricted Business does not constitute greater than 25% of the aggregate revenue of such diversified entity or other person and (ii) Employee is not employed within and does not have involvement with business development or business strategy with respect to the Restricted Business. In further consideration for the Company’s promises herein, Employee agrees that during the Covenant Period, Employee will not so as to compete with the Company directly or indirectly (i) solicit, entice, induce, cause, encourage or recruit any Restricted Employee, Customer or Supplier of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates to work for, provide services to or do business with a third party other than the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates or engage in any activity that would cause any employee, representative, consultant, customer, subscriber or supplier to violate any agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates or otherwise terminate or change its relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates or (ii) hire Restricted Employee.

(b)The foregoing restrictions shall not be construed to prohibit Employee’s ownership of less than one percent (1%) of any class of securities of any corporation that is engaged in any of the foregoing businesses and has a class of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or such similar local legislation), as amended, provided that such ownership represents a passive investment and that neither Employee nor any group of persons including Employee in any way, either directly or indirectly, manages or exercises control of any such corporation, guarantees any of its financial obligations, otherwise

takes any part in its business, other than exercising Employee’s rights as a stockholder, or seeks to do any of the foregoing.

(c)In this Section 21, unless the context otherwise requires:

(i) “Competitor” means a person, business or enterprise (including divisions of persons, businesses and enterprises) that directly or indirectly engages or seeks to engage in the Restricted Business in the Restricted Territory, if the person, business or enterprise is or seeks to be in competition with the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, each entity listed on Attachment B, as shall be modified from time to time by the Company upon written notice to Employee, shall constitute a Competitor.

(ii) “Customer” means any person to which the Company distributed, sold or supplied services as part of the Restricted Business during the Relevant Period and with which, during that period either the Employee, or any employee under the direct or indirect supervision of the Employee, had material dealings in the course of the employment, but always excluding therefrom, any division, branch or office of such person with which the Employee and/or any such employee had no dealings during that period;

(iii) “Relevant Period” means: (A) where the employment is continuing, the period of the employment; and (B) where the employment has terminated, the period of twelve months immediately preceding the Termination Date;

(iv) “Restricted Business” means a business in respect of services of the type conducted, authorized, offered or provided by the Company and for which the duties of the Employee were materially concerned or for which he was responsible during the Relevant Period;

(v) “Restricted Employee” means any person who was a director, employee or consultant of the Company at any time within the Relevant Period who by reason of that position and in particular his or his seniority and expertise or knowledge of Confidential Information or knowledge of or influence over the clients, customers or contacts of the Company is likely to cause damage to the Company if he or she were to leave the employment of the Company and become employed by a competitor of the Company;

(vi) “Restricted Territory” means the territory or territories within which the Employee actually worked, or in respect of which the Employee was materially involved in providing services, during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Employee’s Termination Date.

(vii) “Supplier” means any supplier, agent, distributor or other person who, during the Relevant Period was in the habit of dealing with the Company and with which, during that period, the Employee, or any employee under the direct or indirect supervision of the Employee, had material dealings in the course of the employment.

(d)This Section 21 shall also apply as though references to the “Company” in Section 21 include references to each Group Company in relation to which the Employee has in the course of the employment or by reason of rendering services to or holding office in such Group Company:

(i) acquired knowledge of its products, services, trade secrets or Confidential Information; or

(ii) had personal dealings with its customers or prospective customers; or

(iii) supervised directly or indirectly employees having personal dealings with its customers or prospective customers.

(e)the obligations undertaken by the Employee pursuant to this Section 21 shall, with respect to each Group Company, constitute a separate and distinct covenant in favour of and for the benefit of each Group Company and which shall be enforceable either by the particular Group Company or by the Company on behalf of the Group Company and the invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the covenants in favour of any other Group Company.

22.Employee Representations.

(a)Employee represents and warrants that this Agreement and his employment by the Company does not conflict with and will not be constrained by any prior business relationship or contract, that Employee does not possess trade secrets or other proprietary information arising out of any prior business relationship or contract that, in Employee’s best judgment would be utilized in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company. Employee further agrees that he will not disclose any such trade secrets or other proprietary information to the Company or others.

(b)Employee represents and warrants that (i) before signing this Agreement, he has read this Agreement and is entering into this Agreement freely and with knowledge of its contents with the intent to be bound by it and the restrictions contained herein; (ii) Employee has been advised by the Company to consult Employee’s own legal counsel in respect of this Agreement, and Employee has had full opportunity, prior to execution of this Agreement, to review thoroughly this Agreement with Employee’s counsel; (iii) the restrictions imposed on Employee by this Agreement are fair, reasonable and proper and required for the protection of the Company’s business interests, particularly its investments in Employee (e.g., Employee’s job knowledge and skills), its Confidential Information, as well as the goodwill developed, and its business relationships, with its clients, customers and prospective clients and customers; (iv) the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, and that any violation of any provision of Sections 19, 20 or 21 hereof will result in irreparable injury to the Company; and (v) the restrictions imposed on Employee by this Agreement, particularly, the post-termination restrictions, shall not preclude Employee from earning a living or engaging in Employee’s profession or trade, or pursuing a career or a business, in each case at the same general level of economic benefit as is currently the case.

(c)Employee’s employment is subject to the Employee being legally entitled to work in the United Kingdom.

23.Consequences of Breach of Covenants; Equitable Relief.

(a)Employee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of Sections 19, 20, or 21 hereof, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled.

The period of the injunction shall be measured from the date of a court order granting the injunctive relief. In the event that any of the provisions of Sections 19, 20, or 21 hereof should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the severance payments and benefits provided herein are being provided by the Company to Employee, among other things, as additional consideration and solely for Employee’s agreement with and adherence to the post-employment restrictive covenants in Section 21 and Employee’s other promises, covenants, commitments and obligations in this Agreement (including the releases granted in Section 13), the adequacy and sufficiency of which Employee expressly acknowledges. Employee agrees that should the Company, in its sole discretion, deem Employee to be in violation of any provision(s) in said Section 21 the Company may immediately cease payment of all or any portion of the severance payments and benefits provided hereunder. Employee acknowledges that the severance payments and benefits provided for herein are in addition to anything of value to which Employee was already entitled.

(c)Employee irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of Section 19, 20, or 21 hereof, including without limitation, any action commenced by the Company for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief or other equitable relief, may be brought in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in New Jersey, (ii) consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (iii) waives any objection that Employee may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court. Employee also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices or other papers in a manner permitted by the notice provisions of Section 26 hereof.

24.Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for the duration of Employee’s employment with the Company; provided, however, that after the termination of Employee’s employment during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in effect until all of the obligations of the Parties hereunder are satisfied or have expired.

25.Successor Company. The Company shall require any successor or successors (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Employee, to acknowledge expressly that this Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms hereof, and to become jointly and severally obligated with the Company to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or successions had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the Company shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any such successor or successors to its business and/or assets, jointly and severally.

26.Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder or necessary or convenient in connection herewith shall be in writing and shall be delivered via Cognizant email accounts, personally or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight express courier service, as follows:

28.Contents of Agreement, Amendment and Assignment.

(a)This Agreement, including the Code of Ethics, supersedes all prior agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof, sets forth the entire understanding between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and cannot be changed, modified, extended or terminated except upon written amendment executed by Employee and executed on the Company’s behalf by a duly authorized officer, except for revisions or additions to Attachment B, which may be unilaterally modified by the Company upon written notice to Employee; provided, however, that this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in Section 9, does not supersede, modify or change any existing written award agreements

regarding stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, performance units or other stock-based awards issued to Employee prior to the effective date of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement may provide for payments to Employee under certain compensation or bonus plans under circumstances where such plans would not provide for payment thereof. It is the specific intention of the Parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in such plans, and such plans shall be deemed to have been amended to correspond with this Agreement without further action by the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors or the Board unless such amendment would contravene the provisions of section 409A of the Code and result in the imposition of additional taxes under section 409A of the Code upon Employee.

(b)All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns of the Parties hereto, except that the duties and responsibilities of Employee and the Company hereunder shall not be assignable in whole or in part by the Company. If Employee should die after Employee’s Termination Date and while any amount payable hereunder would still be payable to Employee hereunder if Employee had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Employee’s devises, legates or other designees or, if there is no such designee, to Employee’s estate.

29.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is declared illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid, and enforceable, or otherwise deleted, and the remainder of the terms of this Agreement shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision.

30.Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No right conferred upon the Parties by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission by a Party in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof.

31.Miscellaneous. All section headings are for convenience only. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which is an original. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or any counterpart hereof to produce or account for any of the other counterparts.

32.Section 409A.

(a)Interpretation. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and/or one or more available exemptions therefrom, and shall in all respects be administered and construed in accordance with Section 409A of the Code or such available exemption(s). If any payment or benefit hereunder cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring taxes on Employee under or by operation of Section 409A of the Code, then such payment or benefit shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such taxes will not be imposed. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, all payments to be made upon a Termination of Employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” (within the

meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Code), each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments, and if a payment is not made by the designated payment date under this Agreement, the payment shall be made by December 31 of the calendar year in which the designated date occurs. To the extent that any payment provided for hereunder would be subject to additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, or would cause the administration of this Agreement to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by applicable law, and, to the extent applicable, any such amount shall be payable in accordance with Section 32(b). In no event shall the Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. Nothing herein shall be construed as having modified the time and form of payment of any amounts or payments of “deferred compensation” (as defined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(1), after giving effect to the exemptions in Treas. Reg. Sections 1.409A-1(b)(3) through (b)(12)) that were otherwise payable pursuant to the terms of any agreement between the Company and Employee in effect on or after January 1, 2005 and prior to the date of this Agreement.

(b)Payment Delay. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if it is necessary to postpone the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable under this Agreement as a result of Employee’s “separation from service” with the Company to prevent the imposition of any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will postpone the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Employee) that are not otherwise paid within the “short-term deferral exception” under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and the “separation pay exception” under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), until the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following Employee’s “separation of service” with the Company. If any payments are postponed due to such requirements, such postponed amounts will be paid to Employee in a lump sum on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following Employee’s “separation of service” with the Company. If Employee dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of the postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of Employee’s estate within sixty (60) days after the date of the Employee’s death.

(c)Reimbursements. All reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Employee’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

33.Recoupment Policy. Employee acknowledges that Employee shall be subject to and hereby agrees to abide by the terms of any clawback or recoupment policy that the Company has adopted or may hereafter adopt, as may be amended from time to time, with or without notice (the “Recoupment Policy”) to further the Company’s interests in enhancing its corporate governance practices and/or to comply with applicable law, rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the rules of the national securities exchange on which shares of the common stock of the Company are listed for trade. Employee understands that pursuant to the Recoupment Policy, the Company may seek to recoup all or part of any severance payments, bonus or other incentive compensation paid to certain officers and former officers, including Equity Awards, in the event that the Company is required to restate its financial statements. In consideration of the continued benefits to be received from the Company (or a Group Company) and the right to participate in, and receive future awards under, the Company’s cash and equity-based incentive programs, Employee hereby acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a)The Recoupment Policy applies to severance, cash bonuses and other incentive compensation, including Equity Awards, paid or awarded to Employee prior to or after the date on which the Recoupment Policy is adopted, and Employee agrees that, to the extent provided in the Recoupment Policy, the Recoupment Policy shall apply to equity and other award agreements outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or hereafter executed, and such agreements shall be deemed amended by, and to incorporate, the terms of the Recoupment Policy even if the Recoupment Policy is not explicitly referenced therein;

(b)The Company shall be fully entitled to enforce the Recoupment Policy against Employee in accordance with its terms, and Employee promptly shall comply with any demand authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Recoupment Policy for repayment, return or rescission of, severance payments, a cash bonus or other incentive compensation, including Equity Awards, subject to the Recoupment Policy; and

(c)Nothing in this acknowledgement shall be construed to expand the scope or terms of the Recoupment Policy, and Employee is not waiving any defenses Employee may have in the event of an action for recoupment of compensation under the Recoupment Policy, other than (i) waiving any defense regarding the retroactive application of the Recoupment Policy to prior or existing payments or awards and (ii) waiving any claim that the integration clause of any agreement excludes the application of the Recoupment Policy.

DETAILS OF UK TERMS AND BENEFITS

All benefits will be subject to the terms and conditions, policies and rules applicable to those benefits from time to time (whether issued by the Company or the relevant provider, and which may change from time to time) in addition and subject to any rules, variations or limits imposed by HM Revenue & Customs or any other government authority (including, without limitation, any requirements regarding the administration and deduction of tax in respect of such benefits).

Provision of cover is subject to acceptance of Employee by Company’s insurers or other providers at normal rates of premium and they may also be subject to Employee passing a medical examination, if required. Subject to statutory requirements, the Company reserves the right to vary or discontinue any benefit. All insurance cover and benefits cease on the termination of Employee’s employment.

Further information on the policies and rules that apply to these benefits, is available on the Company’s One The Company portal (▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇/▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) and is also available on request. The Company administers its benefits via an online benefits platform (The HUB).

Annual leave:

You will be entitled to 25 days’ paid holiday during each holiday year. The holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December and holidays will be pro-rated accordingly in your first and last year of employment.

You may carry over 5 days of untaken leave which must be taken by 31 March of the following year. If you do not take carried over leave by 31 March, that entitlement will lapse and no payment in lieu thereof will be made.

If your employment terminates, you will be paid in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday up to the termination date. If you have taken more than your accrued allowance as at the date of termination, the value of such excess holiday will be deducted from your final payment of salary. Such payments or deductions will be calculated at a rate of 1/260th of your annual basic salary per day of holiday.

You are also entitled to bank holidays, of which there are typically 8 per year. You will be notified of the dates of the bank holidays prior to the start of each holiday year and they can be found on the UK HR page on Be.The Company - ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇.▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇”

Sick pay: Details of the Company sick pay scheme (as amended from time to time) are available on the Be.The Company UK HR home page and are also available on request from your HR Manager.

Pension:

You are eligible to participate in the Company’s group pension scheme (“the Scheme”). Please note the Company is required to re-enroll you into the Scheme at least every three years, unless you opt out again. The Company reserves the right to change the pension scheme provider or

change the contribution rates from time to time. You will be enrolled in the GPP at 5% employee contribution and 5% employer contribution. As you have been appointed at Executive Vice President level, The Company offers a matched contribution of up to 10% of your pensionable salary into the scheme (inclusive of the statutory minimum contribution). To take advantage of this matched contribution of up to 10%, you must change your employee contribution in the HUB. You are free to contribute more than 10%, up to the statutory maximum laid down by HM Revenue & Customs, as varied from time to time (although such excess contributions will not be matched by the Company). If you reduce your employee contribution, the employer contribution will also decrease to match the employee contribution.

The Company will deduct pension contributions payable to the Scheme from your salary. The Company operates a default Pension Salary Sacrifice (PSS) option which means that unless you opt out, you consent to PSS. Your employee contribution to the Scheme will be deducted from your gross salary at the agreed level and will be paid to the Scheme together with any employer contributions.

You must advise the Company if you have any form of Pensions Protection or have reached your Lifetime Allowance.

The Company, working in conjunction with our pensions advisors Aon, will provide you with pension information in relation to the Scheme, including information on how to choose your investments. Pension information will be available via a variety of methods, including presentations, one to ones, a telephone helpdesk and additional media. Please also refer to the guidance and information provided on The HUB.

Please note that it is up to you to make sure that you have informed yourself sufficiently about the options available to you in the light of your own circumstances. Neither the Company nor Aon are responsible for providing you with financial, tax or legal advice regarding your pension or other financial affairs, and the Company makes no warranty or guarantee about the accuracy or competence of any advice given to you by it or by Aon (or any other pension advisor it may use from time to time).
