(i)on Date 1: a number of Ordinary Shares equal to $[·] (i.e., [·]% of Purchaser’s gross pay from base salary less taxes withheld on same for the period from January 1 – [·]) divided by the closing price of an Ordinary Share on Date 1, rounded down to the nearest whole share; and

(ii)On each Purchase Date after Date 1: a number of Ordinary Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (A) that number of base salary paychecks for the [·] fiscal year since the immediately prior Purchase Date multiplied by $[·], divided by (B) the closing price of an Ordinary Share on the applicable Purchase Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Purchase Date occurs on a date that that is during a blackout period under the Company’s insider trading policy, the Purchase Date shall instead occur on the first business day occurring after the expiration of such blackout period.  The Ordinary Shares purchased on each Purchase Date shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Purchased Shares”.  The purchase price for each Purchased Share shall be the closing price of an Ordinary Share on the relevant Purchase Date (the “Purchase Price”).

(b)No Purchase Above [·] Per Share.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Purchase Price on a Purchase Date is greater than $[·] (as proportionately adjusted in the event of a share split or other event set forth in Section 11.1 of the Plan), no purchase or sale of Ordinary Shares shall occur on such Purchase Date.

(c)Transfer.  On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company agrees to transfer to the Purchaser the Purchased Shares.  The transfer shall occur at the offices of the Company on the applicable Purchase Date or at such other place and time as the parties may agree.


(d)Consideration.  The Purchaser agrees to pay the Purchase Price for each Purchased Share.  The Purchase Price is agreed to be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of each Purchased Share.  Payment shall be made in cash or cash equivalents on the applicable Purchase Date.

(e)Vesting.  The Purchased Shares shall be fully vested.

(f)Plan and Defined Terms.  Purchaser and the Company agree that the Purchased Shares are being sold under, and are governed by the terms and conditions of, the Theravance Biopharma, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The provisions of the Plan are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

(g)For Own Account. The Purchased Shares are being acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

SECTION 2. TERMINATION OF SERVICE

No Ordinary Shares will be purchased or sold pursuant to this Agreement on a Purchase Date unless Purchaser remains an Employee on such Purchase Date.

(c)Restrictions on Resale.  The Purchaser agrees not to sell any shares at a time when applicable laws, regulations, Company trading policies (including the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, a copy of which can be found on the Company’s intranet) or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale.  This restriction will apply as long the Purchaser’s service with the Company continues and for such period of time after termination of the Purchaser’s service as the Company may specify.

(d)No Retention Rights.  This award and this Agreement do not give Purchaser the right to be employed by or retained by the Company, a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate in any capacity.  The Company and its Parent, Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the Purchaser’s service at any time, with or without cause.
