Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern Restricted Stock Unit awards granted to you under the Plan if you reside in one of the countries listed below. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Foreign Country Appendix (the “Appendix”) have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Award Agreement.

This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure you of a particular result. Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.
Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working, the information contained herein may not be applicable to you.

You agree that if you do not pay to the Company or Subsidiary, as applicable, or if the Company and/or Subsidiary, as applicable, does not withhold from you the full amount of all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you that you owe due to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, or the release or assignment of the Restricted Stock Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Restricted Stock Units (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by you to the Company or Subsidiary, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. You agree that the loan will bear interest at the HMRC’s official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by you, and the Company or Subsidiary may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to you by the Company or Subsidiary, by withholding in shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or from the cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or by demanding cash or a cheque from you.

You acknowledge that the Company or Subsidiary may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Award Agreement.
Joint Election for Transfer of Secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions to You. The following provision is added to the Award Agreement:
