Terms and Conditions - Page 5

(n) Clawback. This Award is subject to clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback, reduction or other similar action in accordance with the terms of any Company clawback Policy or any applicable law related to such actions, as may be in effect from time to time. Grantee’s acceptance of this Award shall be deemed to constitute Grantee’s acknowledgement of and consent to the Company’s application, implementation and enforcement of any applicable Policy that may apply to the Grantee, whether adopted prior to or following the Grant Date, and any provision of applicable law relating to clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback or reduction of compensation, and Grantee’s agreement that the Company may take such actions as may be necessary to effectuate any such policy or applicable law, without further consideration or action.

(o) No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan, or the acquisition or sale of Shares. Grantee should consult with Grantee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

(p) Data Privacy. Grantee’s personal information will be processed in accordance with the Company’s privacy policy previously given to and acknowledged by the Grantee. Grantee may obtain a copy of such policy at no cost by contacting Grantee’s local human resources department.

Data Collection and Usage. The Company and any Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including the Employer, may collect, process and use certain personal information about Grantee, including, but not limited to, Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social security, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, details of all awards or any other entitlement to Shares or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Grantee’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data by the Company and the third-party service providers described below is the necessity of the data processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under the Award Agreement and the Company’s legitimate business interest of managing the Plan and generally administering the Awards.

ii.

Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data to Solium Capital LLC (“Solium”), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Grantee acknowledges and understands that Solium will open an account for Grantee to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan and that Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with Solium, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan. The legal basis for the transfer of Data by the Company to Solium is its necessity to perform a contract between the Company and Solium concluded in the interest of Grantee. As a result, in the absence of appropriate safeguards such as standard data protection clauses, the processing of Data in the United States or, as the case may be, other countries, may not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection authorities. In addition, Grantee may not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of Data in such countries.

Terms and Conditions - Page 6

iii.

International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers that manage and administer the Awards are based in the United States: this Award derives from the Company, incorporated in the state of Delaware, United States and the Plan, governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Therefore, in order for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under the Award Agreement, Data will be transferred to the United States. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is its necessity in order to perform its contractual obligations under the Award Agreement.

iv.

Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws.

Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Grantee is providing consents, where applicable, on a purely voluntary basis. Grantee understands that Grantee may withdraw his/her consent at any time with future effect for any or no reason. If Grantee does not consent, or if Grantee later seeks to revoke consent, Grantee’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Awards or other equity awards to Grantee or administer or maintain Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

vi.

Data Subject Rights. Grantee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in Grantee’s jurisdiction. Depending on where Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (a) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (b) rectification of incorrect Data, (c) deletion of Data, (d) restrictions on processing of Data, (e) portability of Data, (f) lodge complaints with competent authorities in Grantee’s jurisdiction, and/or (g) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Grantee can contact his/her local human resources representative.

vii.

Alternative Basis for Data Processing/Transfer. Grantee understands that in the future, the Company may rely on a different legal basis for the processing and/or transfer of Data and/or request that Grantee provides another data privacy consent form. Upon request of the Company or the Employer, Grantee agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from Grantee for the purpose of administering Grantee’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in Grantee’s country, either now or in the future. Grantee understands and agrees that Grantee will not be able to participate in the Plan if he/she fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.

(q) Electronic Delivery. By accepting this Award, Grantee consents to receive documents related to this Award by electronic delivery and, if requested, agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. Grantee’s consent shall remain in effect throughout Grantee’s term as a Service Provider and thereafter until Grantee withdraws such consent in writing to the Company.

Terms and Conditions

Withholding. The following supplements the “withholding” section of the award agreement:

Without limitation to the “Withholding” section of the Award Agreement, Grantee agrees that Grantee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or, if different, the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). Grantee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and, if different, the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on Grantee’s behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), Grantee understands that Grantee may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of any Tax-Related Items not collected from or paid by Grantee if the indemnification could be considered to be a loan. In this case, the Tax-Related Items not collected or paid by Grantee within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the taxable event occurs, may constitute an additional benefit to Grantee on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. Grantee understands that Grantee 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 to the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from Grantee by any of the means referred to in the “Withholding” section of the Award Agreement.

Joint Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan, Grantee agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs which may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with this Award and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items related to Grantee’s participation in the Plan (the “Employer NICs”). Without prejudice to the foregoing, if requested to do so by the Employer or the Company, Grantee agrees to execute a joint election with the Company or the Employer, the form of such joint election having been approved formally by HMRC (the “Joint Election”), and any other required consent or election to accomplish the transfer of Employer NICs to Grantee. Grantee further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between Grantee and any successor to the Company or the Employer. Grantee further agrees that the Company or the Employer may collect the Employer NICs from Grantee by any of the means set forth in the “Withholding” section of the Award Agreement.

If, having been requested to enter into a Joint Election by the Employer or the Company, Grantee does not enter into the Joint Election or if approval of the Joint Election has been withdrawn by HMRC, the Company, in its sole discretion and without any liability to the Company or the Employer, may choose not to issue or deliver any Shares to Grantee upon vesting of this Award.
