2. Delivery Dates and Shareholder Rights. The Delivery Dates for Shares underlying the Units are the respective dates on which the Shares are payable to the Employee after the Restrictions on such Units lapse pursuant to Section 4 below. Shares shall be issued from the Company’s available treasury shares. Prior to the Delivery Date(s):

(a) the Employee shall not be treated as a shareholder as to those Shares underlying the Units, and shall have only a contractual right to receive Shares, unsecured by any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

(b) the Employee shall not be permitted to vote the Shares underlying the Units; and

Subject to the requirements of local law, the Employee shall receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Units (the “Dividend Equivalents”) (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which

may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent and on the same date as if each Unit were a Share; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect to dividends or distributions the record date for which occurs on or after the date the Employee has forfeited the Units, or the date the Restrictions on the Units have lapsed. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Employee shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

3. Restrictions. The Units are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 5 and 6 below. Units are not earned and may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the “Restrictions”) until an event or combination of events described in subsections 4(a), (b), (c) or (d) occurs.

4. Lapse of Restrictions. Subject to Section 5 below:

(a) Based on Performance. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries:

(i) the Restrictions on one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on «M_1st_yr_vest», provided the Company’s prior year return on equity is a minimum of 10 percent;

(ii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on «M_2nd_yr_vest», provided the Company’s prior year return on equity is a minimum of 10 percent;

(iii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on «M_3rd_yr_vest», provided the Company’s prior year return on equity is a minimum of 10 percent; and

(iv) any Units for which Restrictions have not previously lapsed on the dates described in subsections 4(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) above shall remain outstanding and the Restrictions shall lapse on <<month and date of grant>>, «4th_yr_vest» and/or «5th_yr_vest», provided that the Company’s applicable prior year return on equity is a minimum of 10 percent, and provided further that no more than one-third of the Units will vest in any one year.

Subject to subsections (b), (c), and (d) below, Units for which Restrictions have lapsed, as described in this subsection 4(a), shall be settled in the form of Shares on the date(s) on which such Restrictions lapse (each, a “Delivery Date”). Unless indicated otherwise, Shares shall be delivered in an equal number (subject to rounding) as of each Delivery Date.

(b) Retirement. The Restrictions shall continue to apply in the event of the Employee’s Termination due to Retirement, but may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a), in which case any Units not

previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after the date of such Retirement.

(c) Death. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee’s Termination due to death, and any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled (for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of death.

(d) Disability. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee’s Disability, and any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Disability.

5. Effect of Certain Bad Acts. Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

6. Forfeiture of Units. In the event of the Employee’s Termination for any reason other than Retirement, death or Disability, any Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee’s Representative. In the event that the Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all of the Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to continue to be subject to the Restrictions, provided such Restrictions may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a), in which case such Units shall be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after the date of such Termination. In accepting this Award, the Employee acknowledges that in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to vest in the Units, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law) and that the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award.

7. Withholding Taxes. The Employee may satisfy any federal, state, local or other applicable taxes arising from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by:

(a) tendering a cash payment;

(b) having the Company withhold Shares from the Shares to be delivered to satisfy the minimum applicable withholding tax;

(d) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld.

The Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from the Shares deliverable to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement or (to the extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation Code Section 409A) from any other compensation or other amount owing to the Employee, such amount as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all such taxes, requirements and withholding obligations. If the Company withholds for tax purposes from the Shares otherwise to be delivered to the Employee, the Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

8. No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement and the Employee’s participation in the Program is not and shall not be interpreted to:

(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

9. Nature of Grant. In accepting this grant of Units, the Employee acknowledges that:

(a) The Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

(b) This Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units, benefits in lieu of Units, or other Program Benefits in the future, even if Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(c) All decisions with respect to future Unit grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Committee, in its sole discretion;

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the Employee;

(e) The Employee is voluntarily participating in the Program;

(f) The Units and Shares subject to the Units are:

(i) extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Subsidiaries, and are outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any;

(ii) not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(iii) not part of the Employee’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, 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 or its Subsidiaries;

(g) The future value of the Shares underlying the Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(h) In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Units resulting from Termination (for any reason whatsoever) and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Employee’s entitlement to pursue such claim;

(i) The Units and the Benefits under the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability; and

(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the Units, the amount realized upon settlement of the Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, resulting from any fluctuation of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

10. Data Privacy

(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee’s personal Data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the Program and the Employee’s participation in the Program. The Employee’s denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein; and

(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Employee’s country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible within the Company’s organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and for the Employee’s participation in the Program.

(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee’s participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to:

(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee’s participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

11. Form of Payment. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee’s Units in the form of a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Employee, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Employee’s country; (iii) would result in adverse tax consequences for the Employee or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee’s Units in the form of Shares but require the Employee to immediately sell such Shares (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on the Employee’s behalf).

12. Private Placement. The grant of this Unit is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee’s country. The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and this grant of Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

13. Exchange Controls. As a condition to this grant of Units, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange rules and regulations.

14. Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations.

(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company’s Shares are listed.

(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee’s participation in the Program and legally applicable to the Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company or its Subsidiaries (“Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, lapse of Restriction or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon payment of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance 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 grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

15. Code Section 409A. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A and this Agreement fails to comply with that section’s requirements, the Company may, at the Company’s sole discretion, and without the Employee’s consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be

deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee’s Termination (including Retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Employee’s Termination (or upon the Employee’s death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) the term “as soon as administratively possible” means a period of time that in no event will extend beyond the later of the end of the Employee’s taxable year in which Termination or Disability (as applicable) occurs or the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following Termination or Disability (as applicable); and (iii) the date of the Employee’s Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

16. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Units, the Employee’s participation in the Program or the Employee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

17. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee’s participation in the Program, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Employee agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee’s country. In addition, the Employee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Employee’s personal obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee’s country.

18. Determinations. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the

Employee’s Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

19. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Program by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

20. Addendum. This grant of Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement for the Employee’s country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program. The Addendum constitutes part of this Agreement.

21. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding the Award and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the Award. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified, or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by a duly authorized Company officer.

23. Succession. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and the Employee, the Employee’s Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

24. Language. If the Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Program translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

25. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without giving effect to any state’s conflict of laws principles.

MEXICO

1. Commercial Relationship. The Employee expressly acknowledges that the Employee’s participation in the Program and the Company’s grant of the Award does not constitute an employment relationship between the Employee and the Company. The Employee has been granted the Award as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company’s Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee, and the Company’s Subsidiary in Mexico is the Employee’s sole employer. Based on the foregoing: (a) the Employee expressly acknowledges that the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program do not establish any rights between the Employee and the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; (b) the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Program or benefits granted thereunder by the Company, or a termination of the Program by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Employee’s employment with the Subsidiary in Mexico.

2. Extraordinary Item of Compensation. The Employee expressly recognizes and acknowledges that the Employee’s participation in the Program is a result of the discretionary and unilateral decision of the Company, as well as the Employee’s free and voluntary decision to participate in the Program in accord with the terms and conditions of the Program, the Employee’s Agreement and this Addendum. As such, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Employee’s participation in the Program at any time and without any liability. The value of the Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any. The Units are not part of the Employee’s regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of the Company’s Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee.

Qualifying Person Exemption. The grant of the Award under the Program is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (the “SFA”). The Program has not been and will not be lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and is not regulated by any financial supervisory authority

pursuant to any legislation in Singapore. Accordingly, statutory liability under the SFA in relation to the content of prospectuses would not apply.

SOUTH AFRICA

1. Withholding Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:

By accepting the Award, the Employee agrees to notify the Company’s local affiliate in South Africa that employs the Employee (the “Employer”) of the amount of any gain realized upon vesting of the Units. If the Employee fails to advise the Employer of the gain realized upon vesting of the Units, the Employee may be liable for a fine. The Employee will be responsible for paying any difference between the actual tax liability and the amount withheld.

2. Exchange Control Obligations. The Employee is solely responsible for complying with applicable exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa. As the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, the Employee should consult the Employee’s legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of Shares under the Program to ensure compliance with current Exchange Control Regulations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from the Employee’s failure to comply with applicable laws.

SPAIN

1. Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Program; No Vested Rights

By accepting the Award, the Employee consents to participation in the Program and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Program.

The Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Units under the Program to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Employee understands that the Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Units and the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Employee 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 the Award shall be null and void.

The Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Award, unless otherwise provided in Section 4 of the Agreement, any unvested Units as of the date the Employee ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of Termination. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination on the Units.

2. Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program or the Agreement, “Cause” shall be as defined as set forth in the Agreement, regardless of whether the Termination is considered a fair termination (i.e., “despido procedente”) under Spanish legislation.

SRI LANKA

UKRAINE

UNITED KINGDOM

1. Withholding Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement.

If payment or withholding of the income tax due in connection with the Award is not made within ninety (90) days of the event giving rise to the income tax liability or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Xxxxxxxx) Xxx 0000 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax shall constitute a loan owed by the Employee to the Subsidiary in the United Kingdom that employs the Employee (the “Employer”), effective as of the Due Date. The Employee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”), it shall be immediately due and repayable, and the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she shall not be eligible for a loan from the Company to cover the income tax liability. In the event that the Employee is a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by him or her by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) will be payable. The Employee will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime, and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit.

2. Exclusion of Claim. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee’s ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Units, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Units. Upon the grant of the Award, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.
