1. Restricted Stock Unit Award. Tupperware Brands Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Tupperware”), pursuant to the Tupperware Brands Corporation 2016 Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), a copy of which is available online at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxx or by requesting a copy from the Corporate Secretary’s Office, hereby grants to the Participant as of the Date of Grant a Restricted Stock Unit Award (“Restricted Stock Unit(s)” or “Award(s)”) to receive from Tupperware a certain number of shares of Common Stock of Tupperware, $0.01 par value (“Share(s)”) (or in cash as described in Section 4 below, if permitted under applicable accounting standards) provided certain vesting conditions are met, as specifically indicated on this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. The Award vests in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including applicable special terms and conditions for the Participant’s country set forth in any appendix hereto as provided in Section 21 below (the “Appendix”; this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and the Appendix collectively referred to hereinafter as this “Agreement”). The Participant shall execute this Agreement by accepting it online at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxx. If Tupperware determines that an alternative form of agreement from the Participant is appropriate, or that this Agreement is required in another format, in order to comply with any listing, registration or other legal requirement, the Participant shall execute and deliver such alternative Award agreement to Tupperware. The Participant’s failure to accept this Agreement or other required Award agreement may prevent the release of Shares or cash as described in Section 4 below. All determinations and interpretations made by Tupperware in connection with any question arising under this Agreement or the Plan are binding and conclusive upon the Participant and his or her legal representative. If there is any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Plan.
2. Restriction Period. The restrictions under this Award shall lapse on the Vesting Dates specified above or such earlier time as set forth in this Agreement, subject to the Participant’s continued employment with Tupperware or its Subsidiary through the applicable Vesting Date or such earlier time as set forth in this Agreement.
3. Stockholder Rights. Prior to lapse of restrictions and the delivery of the Shares related to the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant shall not have the rights of a stockholder of Tupperware to vote the Shares related to the Restricted Stock Units, except that the Participant shall be entitled to receive dividend equivalent rights related to the Restricted Stock Units equal in amount to the dividends declared on a Share. Dividend equivalent amounts shall accrue and be paid or distributed at such time as the restrictions on the Restricted Stock Units lapse in accordance with this Agreement and in proportion to the amount of Restricted Stock Units as to which restrictions lapse.
4. Delivery of Shares or Cash. Subject to the payment of tax obligations under this Agreement, Tupperware will deliver or cause to be delivered either (a) Shares, or, if Tupperware so determines, in book entry form, upon lapse of restrictions, and will deliver them to the Participant or the Participant’s transferee (if permitted under the terms of the Plan and this Agreement) free of restrictions, or (b) cash based upon the number of Restricted Stock Units times the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of a Share on the date of the lapse of restrictions, or if such date shall not be a business day for the NYSE, then upon the closing price on the immediately-preceding business day of the NYSE. Any Shares (or cash payment in lieu of such Shares) deliverable pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered within 60 days following the applicable Vesting Date, or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A (or any successor provision of the Code), if applicable.
1
5. Taxes. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by Tupperware or, if different, the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant or deemed by Tupperware or the Employer in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to the Participant even if legally applicable to Tupperware or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by Tupperware or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that Tupperware and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, the Participant acknowledges that if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Tupperware and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Tupperware and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes Tupperware and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by Tupperware and/or the Employer; or (b) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by Tupperware (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (c) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. However, if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of Tupperware under the Exchange Act, then Tupperware shall withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items shall be satisfied by method (b) above, provided, further, that if the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, the obligation for Tax-Related Items shall be satisfied by method (a) above. Tupperware may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates in the Participant’s country, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. Finally, the Participant agrees to pay to Tupperware or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Tupperware and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Tupperware may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
6. Data Transfer and Privacy.
(a) | Data Collection and Usage. Tupperware and any Subsidiary, including the Employer, may collect, process and use certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Tupperware, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to Shares or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Participant’s consent. |
(b) | Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. Tupperware transfers Data to UBS Financial Services Inc. and its affiliated companies (collectively, “UBS”), an independent service provider based in the United States, which is assisting Tupperware with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Tupperware may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Data with such other provider(s) serving in a similar manner. |
(c) | International Data Transfers. Tupperware and its service providers are based in the United States. The Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. Tupperware’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is the legitimate interest of Tupperware, in accordance with Tupperware’s European Union Data Transfer Policy, where applicable. |
2
(d) | Data Retention. Tupperware will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, securities, exchange control and labor laws. |
(e) | Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and the Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Participant’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that Tupperware would not be able to grant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. |
(f) | Data Subject Rights. The Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in his or her jurisdiction. Depending on where the Participant is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to, or copies of, Data Tupperware processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) deletion of Data, (iv) restrictions on processing of Data, (v) portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) 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, the Participant can contact his or her local Data Protection Officer. |
(g) | Alternative Basis for Data Processing/Transfer. The Participant understands that in the future, Tupperware may rely on a different legal basis for the processing or transfer of Data and/or request that the Participant provide another data privacy consent. If applicable and upon request of Tupperware or the Employer, the Participant agrees to provide an executed acknowledgment or data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that Tupperware and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Participant for the purpose of administering his or her participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country, either now or in the future. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if he or she fails to provide any such acknowledgement, agreement or consent requested by Tupperware and/or the Employer. |
By accepting the Restricted Stock Units and indicating consent via Tupperware’s acceptance procedure, the Participant is declaring that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by Tupperware and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned above, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described above.
7. Recovery (Recoupment) of Award. In the event it is determined that Tupperware’s previously reported financial results have been misstated due to the error, omission, fraud or other misconduct of the Participant, including a misstatement that leads to a restatement of previously issued financial statements, any previous delivery of Shares which has been made pursuant to any incentive compensation award, including any discretionary award, including Restricted Stock Units, shall be subject to recovery and/or cancellation by Tupperware as the Compensation and Management Development Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Tupperware, in its sole discretion, shall in good faith determine. The Committee shall determine: (i) the amount to be recovered and/or cancelled; (ii) whether to seek repayment from the Participant or to reduce an amount otherwise payable to the Participant under any compensation, plan, program or arrangement maintained by Tupperware, including the use of set-off, subject to applicable law; (iii) the valuation of any Shares determined to be recovered from the Participant in connection with such an action; and (iv) whether to cancel outstanding Awards in connection with such an action and the valuation thereof for such purpose. The foregoing shall be subject to such changes as may be required from time to time by the NYSE listing manual or the applicable rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
For purposes of the foregoing, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes Tupperware to issue instructions, on the Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by Tupperware to hold Shares and other amounts acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to Tupperware upon Tupperware’s enforcement of this Section 7 and Tupperware’s Recoupment Policy (the “Policy”). If the provisions of this Section 7 and the Policy conflict, the terms of the Policy shall prevail.
8. Impact of Certain Events. Upon the Participant’s death, termination after a Change of Control (in accordance with Section 15.2 of the Plan) or retirement, the Participant shall have such modified rights of vesting as set forth below:
(a) | Death: If the Participant’s employment terminates by reason of death, the Award shall become immediately and fully vested and shall be settled within 60 days following the Participant’s death, or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A. |
3
(b) | Retirement: If the Participant’s employment terminates by reason of retirement, the following vesting terms will apply: pro-rata vesting based on the number of full months worked during the full restriction period (see Section 2 above) up to the date of termination (taking into account that certain tranches of the Award may have already vested). |
The Participant shall be deemed to have terminated employment by reason of retirement if the Participant has attained age 55 and provided at least 10 years of service, has given due notice (as determined by the Committee, which shall be a minimum of six months’ notice in the case of a Participant holding the position of Vice President or higher at the time of such notification), and has entered into an agreement, the form and content of which shall be specified by the Committee, not to compete with Tupperware and its affiliates and not to solicit employees or sales force members of the Company for a period of one year following such retirement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Tupperware receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Participant’s country that likely would result in any favorable treatment of the Award at retirement under the Plan or this Agreement being deemed unlawful or discriminatory, such favorable treatment shall not apply and the Award shall be treated as set forth in the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
(c) | Change of Control Termination: If a Change of Control occurs in which the Award is substituted by the Successor and the Participant’s employment is terminated within two years following a Change of Control (i) by the Successor (or an affiliate thereof) without Cause or (ii) if the Participant is an executive officer of Tupperware (who is subject to reporting under Section 16 of the Exchange Act) and resigns for Good Reason, then the Award shall become immediately vested and shall be settled within 60 days following the Participant’s termination of employment, or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A; provided, however, if a Change of Control occurs and the Award is not substituted by the Successor upon such Change of Control, then the Award shall be governed by Section 15.2 of the Plan. |
(d) | Other Terminations: If the Participant’s employment terminates for any other reason, including disability, termination for cause (or similar concept under local law) by Tupperware or voluntary termination by the Participant, any unvested Award shall automatically terminate and be forfeited. |

(c) all decisions with respect to future Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Tupperware;

(h) unless otherwise agreed with Tupperware, the Award and the underlying Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service that the Participant may provide as a director of a Subsidiary or affiliate of Tupperware;
(i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award or the recovery of Shares or cash acquired pursuant to the Award resulting from the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship (regardless of the reason for the termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any) and/or the application of any recovery policy as described in Sections 7, 12 and 13 hereof or any recovery or clawback policy otherwise required by law;
4
(k) for purposes of the Award, the Participant’s employment or service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer actively providing services to Tupperware or one of its Subsidiaries or affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any) and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by Tupperware in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Award (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on an approved leave of absence, including a period of “garden leave”);
(l) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by Tupperware in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and

(2) the Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither Tupperware, nor the Employer nor any Subsidiary or affiliate of Tupperware shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement;
(3) the Participant acknowledges and consents to any and all actions taken by Tupperware and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow Tupperware and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different); and

11. No Advice Regarding Grant. Tupperware is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is Tupperware making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant should consult his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. The Participant shall rely solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Tupperware or any of its agents.
12. Protecting the Interests of Tupperware. During the Participant’s employment, and for a period of 12 months following employment, the Participant agrees not to (i) divulge information related to the operation of the business, (ii) seek or accept employment from a Competitor (defined for purposes of this provision as any other business or enterprise which is engaged in the sales of products or services similar to those of Tupperware or is engaged in the direct sales of products or services to the consuming public, or primarily to the business’ own sales force members), (iii) solicit, directly or indirectly, any actively employed employee (including persons who have been employees of Tupperware or its Subsidiaries or affiliates during the 12 months immediately before and after termination of the Participant) of Tupperware or its Subsidiaries or affiliates, (iv) solicit, directly or indirectly, any member of the independent sales force of Tupperware or its Subsidiaries or affiliates to become an employee or independent sales force member of a Competitor, or (v) copy or counterfeit, or assist another person in copying or counterfeiting, any Tupperware Brands product. The Participant agrees to return immediately following termination of employment, any and all documents and/or hardware or software items provided by Tupperware or its Subsidiaries or affiliates for the purpose of completing tasks associated with performing his or her role. Finally, the Participant acknowledges that Tupperware participates in a business that is highly competitive, and that acceptance of these terms is reasonable in light of the award of potential compensation, whether received or not, under this program. In addition to any equitable remedies that Tupperware may have with regard to this provision, a breach of this paragraph shall result in an immediate forfeiture of the Participant’s rights under this Award.

13. Violation of Terms and Recoupment. Any violation of the terms of Section 12 or default under any associated agreement shall result in an automatic termination and forfeiture of the underlying Award, and may lead Tupperware to take action to recoup damages caused by such violation.
14. Governing Law and Venue. The Award grant and the provisions of this Agreement are governed by, and subject to, the laws of the State of Delaware, as provided in the Plan. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Delaware, agree that such litigation shall be conducted exclusively in the courts of Delaware, or the federal courts for the United States located in Delaware.
15. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Tupperware may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by Tupperware or another third party designated by Tupperware.
16. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
17. Notices. All notices hereunder to Tupperware shall be delivered or mailed to the Corporate Secretary of Tupperware at its headquarters office. All notices hereunder to the Participant shall be delivered personally or mailed to the Participant’s address as indicated on his or her online UBS account, unless the Participant notifies Tupperware in writing of a change of address at xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
18. Language. By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges and represents that he or she is proficient in the English language or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English as to allow the Participant to understand the terms of this Agreement and any other document related to the Plan. If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of translated version is different from the English version, the English version shall control.
19. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and (if different) the Participant’s country, his or her broker’s country and/or the country where the Shares are listed, which may affect the Participant’s ability to accept or otherwise acquire, or sell, attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of, Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., the Award) under the Plan or rights linked to the value of Shares (e.g., phantom awards, futures) during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding Tupperware (as defined by the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and the Participant’s country of residence) or the trade in Shares or the trade in rights to Shares under the Plan. Local xxxxxxx xxxxxxx laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant places before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or otherwise causing them to buy or sell securities; including “third parties” who are fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Tupperware xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy. The Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter. For the avoidance of doubt, under the terms of this Agreement, the Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, except as provided in Section 8 of this Agreement in the event of the Participant’s death.
20. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting; Exchange Control. The Participant’s country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and/or exchange controls which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan to his or her country through a
6
designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. The Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.
21. Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Appendix to this Agreement for the Participant’s country. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country shall apply to the Participant, to the extent that Tupperware determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
22. Imposition of Other Requirements. Tupperware reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent that Tupperware determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreement or undertaking that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
23. Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, Tupperware shall not be required to deliver any Shares issuable upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval Tupperware shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Participant understands that Tupperware is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. Further, Tupperware shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement without the Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Shares.
24. Waiver. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by Tupperware of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other participant.
25. Code Section 409A. This Award is intended to be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A (or any successor provision of the Code), and shall be interpreted and construed accordingly and each payment hereunder shall be considered a separate payment for such purpose. To the extent this Agreement provides for the Award to become vested and be settled upon the Participant’s termination of employment, the underlying Shares shall be transferred to the Participant or his or her beneficiary upon the Participant’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A (or any successor provision of the Code). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Award, to the extent any payments hereunder constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Code Section 409A (or any successor provision of the Code), then (a) each such payment which is conditioned upon Participant’s execution of a release and which is to be paid or provided during a designated period that begins in one taxable year and ends in a second taxable year, shall be paid or provided in the later of the two taxable years and (b) if Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A (or any successor provision of the Code)) as of the date of Participant’s separation from service, each such payment that is payable upon Participant’s separation from service and would have been paid prior to the six-month anniversary of Participant’s separation from service, shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (i) the first day of the seventh month following Participant’s separation from service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death. Although this Section 25 and any payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A (or any successor provision of the Code), Tupperware does not represent or warrant that this Section 25 or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A (or any successor provision of the Code) or any other provisions of federal, state, local, or non-U.S. law. Neither Tupperware, nor the Employer nor any Subsidiary or affiliate of Tupperware nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Participant (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Participant) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Participant may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and Tupperware, its Subsidiaries and the Employer shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Participant from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A (or any successor provision of the Code).

This Appendix also contains notifications relating to exchange control and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities or other laws or regulations in effect in the countries listed in this Appendix as of October 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. Because the information may be outdated when the Participant vests in the Award and acquires Shares, or when the Participant subsequently sells Shares acquired under the Plan, Tupperware strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the notifications provided in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the participation in the Plan.
In addition, the notifications are general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and Tupperware is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to the Participant’s particular situation. Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working and/or residing, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or moves to a different country after the Date of Grant, the information contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to the Participant and Tupperware shall, in its sole discretion, determined to what extent the terms and conditions or notifications contained herein shall be applicable to the Participant.
ARGENTINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 5 of this Agreement:
The Participant understands and agrees that Tupperware and/or the Employer may withhold the entire amount of Tax-Related Items due upon vesting of any portion of the Award, provided the amount withheld does not exceed any local withholding limitations on the total cash proceeds due to the Participant at that time. The withholding of the Tax-Related Items will not be allocated over the months remaining in the tax year following vesting, but will occur in a single withholding event at each of the vesting dates of any portion of the Award.
Nature of Grant. The following provision supplements Section 9 of this Agreement:
The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the grant of the Award is made by Tupperware (not by the Employer) in its sole discretion and that the value of the Restricted Stock Units or any Shares acquired under the Plan shall not constitute salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, including, but not limited to, the calculation of (i) any labor benefits including, without limitation, vacation pay, thirteenth month salary, compensation in lieu of notice, annual bonus, disability, and leave of absence payments, etc., or (ii) any termination or severance indemnities or similar payments. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits under the Plan are considered as salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, such benefits shall not accrue more frequently than on each vesting date.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Notification. Neither the Restricted Stock Units nor the issuance of the Shares are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina and, as a result, have not been and will not be registered with the Argentine Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores, “CNV”). The offer is private and not subject to the supervision of any Argentine governmental authority. Neither this nor any other offering material related to the Award or the underlying Shares may be utilized in connection with any general offering to the public in Argentina. Argentine residents who acquire Shares under the Plan do so according to the terms of a private offering made from outside Argentina.
9
Exchange Control Information. Following the sale of Shares or receipt of dividends paid on Shares, the Argentine bank handling the transaction may request certain documentation in connection with the Participant’s request to transfer proceeds into Argentina, including evidence of the sale or dividend payment and proof of the source of funds used to acquire Shares. The Participant is solely responsible for complying with the exchange control rules that may apply in connection with participation in the Plan and/or the transfer of proceeds acquired under the Plan into Argentina. Prior to transferring proceeds into Argentina, the Participant should consult the local bank and/or a personal legal advisor to confirm the exchange control rules and required documentation for any transfer of funds into or out of Argentina, as interpretations of the applicable Central Bank regulations vary by bank, and exchange control rules and regulations are subject to change without notice.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Shares acquired under the Plan and held outside Argentina must be reported on December 31st of each year on the Argentine annual tax return for that year. In addition, the acquisition, sale, transfer or other disposal of Shares must be registered with the Argentine Federal Tax Administration.
Bank Tax. Proceeds transferred into Argentina may be subject to the Tax on Checking Accounts (“Bank Tax”), which is imposed on funds transferred to or from bank accounts in Argentina. The Participant should speak with a personal tax advisor to determine the Participant’s obligations with respect to the Bank Tax and whether the Participant may be eligible for an exemption from the Bank Tax.

10
Units vest, but likely will apply when Shares are sold. The Participant should consult with a personal tax or financial advisor for additional details on the Participant’s obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
Brokerage Account Tax Information.

Individuals holding assets and rights outside Brazil valued at less than US$100,000 are not required to submit a declaration. Please note that the US$100,000 threshold may be changed annually.
Tax on Financial Transactions (IOF). Payments to foreign countries and repatriation of funds into Brazil and the conversion of BRL to USD associated with such fund transfers may be subject to the Tax on Financial Transactions (IOF).

COLOMBIA
Terms and Conditions
Labor Law Acknowledgement. The following provision supplements Section 9 of this Agreement:
The Participant acknowledges that pursuant to Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code, the Plan and related benefits do not constitute a component of the Participant’s “salary” for any purpose. Therefore, they will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as legal/fringe benefits, vacations, indemnities and/or any other labor-related amount which may be payable.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The Shares are not and will not be registered with the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the Shares may not be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in this Agreement should be construed as making a public offer of securities or promoting financial products in Colombia.
Exchange Control Information. Investments in assets located outside of Colombia (including Shares) are subject to registration with the Central Bank (Banco de la República) if the aggregate value of the investments is US$500,000 or more (as of December 31 of the applicable calendar year). If Shares are sold immediately upon receipt, no registration is required because no Shares are held abroad. When Shares that have been registered with the Central Bank are sold, the registration must be cancelled by March 31 of the year following the sale. When proceeds are repatriated to Colombia, a form must be filed with Banco de la República upon conversion of funds into local currency to reflect the nature of the transaction. It is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with Colombian exchange control requirements. Fines may apply for failure to do so.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. An annual informative return must be filed with the Colombian Tax Office detailing any assets held abroad (including Shares acquired under the Plan). If the individual value of any of these assets exceeds a certain threshold, each asset must be described in detail, including the jurisdiction in which it is located, its nature and its value.

However, because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, the Participant is advised to consult his or her personal legal advisor prior to the vesting of any of the Restricted Stock Units to ensure compliance with current regulations. The Participant is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with exchange control laws in the Czech Republic.

In addition, the Participant understands that the Award would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any Award grant shall be null and void.
