Awards outside the United States
This Annex 1 includes additional terms and conditions that govern Restricted Shares granted in the countries identified below. These terms are general in nature and based on the securities, tax and other laws in effect in your country as of February 2010. Such laws are often complex and subject to frequent change. As such, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on this summary as your only source of information relating to the consequences of your Restricted Share Award and participation in the Plan and further that you consult your personal tax or legal advisors for advice as to how the laws in your country apply to your situation. Finally, note that if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are working in, the information contained below may not be applicable to you. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement or the Plan.
All Restricted Share Awards outside the United States — For awards of Restricted Shares to Grantees outside the United States, the following additional terms apply:
A. | Nature of Award. |
i. | The Restricted Shares are an extraordinary item that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered for the Company or any Affiliate and which are outside the scope of the Grantee’s employment contract, if any; |

iii. | The Restricted Shares are not part of fixed, normal or expected compensation, salary or terms of employment for any purposes, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination , redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, any Subsidiary employing the Grantee or any Affiliate thereof; and |
iv. | Nothing in this Restricted Share Award or the Plan shall confer or otherwise give rise to any acquired rights and the Grantee’s acceptance and acknowledgment of this award shall constitute a waiver of any and all claims to the contrary. |
Annex 1-1
B. | Section 4 of the Agreement is amended to include the following additional subsection at the end thereof |
“(d) No Acquired Rights. In the event of termination of the Grantee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Grantee’s right to vest in the Restricted Shares under the Plan, if any, will, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Annex 2 or in the Plan, terminate effective as of the date that the Grantee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g. a period of “garden leave”) mandated under local law. In consideration of the award, the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company (and any Subsidiary employing the Grantee) and any Affiliate thereof from any claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arising from forfeiture of the Restricted Shares resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment.”

ANNEX 4
Section 431(1) Election
Joint Election under s431 ITEPA 2003 for full or partial disapplication of Chapter 2 Income Tax (Earnings and Pexxxxxx) Xxx 0000
Two Part Election (For this joint election to be valid both Parts A and B must be signed and dated)
Part A - To be completed by the Employee
1. | Between |
the Employee:
[insert name of employee]
whose National Insurance Number is:
[insert NINO]
and
the company (who is the Employee’s employer):
[insert name of company]
of Company Registration Number:
[insert CRN]
2. | Purpose of Election |
This joint election is made pursuant to section 431(1) or 431(2) Income Tax (Earnings and Pexxxxxx) Xxx 0000 (ITEPA) and applies where employment-related securities, which are restricted securities by reason of section 423 ITEPA, are acquired.
The effect of an election under section 431(1) is that, for the relevant Income Tax and NIC purposes, the employment-related securities and their market value will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 ITEPA do not apply. An election under section 431(2) will ignore one or more of the restrictions in computing the charge on acquisition. Additional Income Tax
Annex 4-1
will be payable (with PAYE and NIC where the securities are Readily Convertible Assets).
Should the value of the securities fall following the acquisition, it is possible that Income Tax/NIC that would have arisen because of any future chargeable event (in the absence of an election) would have been less than the Income Tax/NIC due by reason of this election. Should this be the case, there is no Income Tax/NIC relief available under Part 7 of ITEPA 2003; nor is it available if the securities acquired are subsequently transferred, forfeited or revert to the original owner. |
3. | Application |
This joint election is made not later than 14 days after the date of acquisition of the securities by the employee and applies to:
Number of securities: [insert number]
Description of securities: Ordinary Shares of U.S.$0.01 each
Name of issuer of securities: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx plc
Acquired by the Employee on [insert date] as Restricted Shares under the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Equity Incentive Plan.
4. | Extent of Application |
This election disapplies S.431(1) ITEPA: All restrictions attaching to the securities.
5. | Declaration |
This election will become irrevocable upon the later of its signing or the acquisition of employment-related securities to which this election applies.
In signing this joint election, I agree to be bound by its terms as stated above.
