3.7On-Hire Award.
(a)Within 30 days following the Effective Date (or if the Company is not in an open period in that window, at the next open period), the Company will grant Executive an equity award in the form of PSUs with a grant-date value of 12 times the initial Base Salary, subject to a cap of 1.575 million Shares, and RSUs with a grant-date value of four times the initial Base Salary subject to a cap of 525,000 shares (“On-Hire Award”). The grant-date values shall be calculated using the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the 30-day period prior to the Effective Date. The RSUs granted as part of the On-Hire Award shall cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the Effective Date subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the vesting date (except as provided in Section 6). The PSUs granted as part of the On-Hire Award shall not be capable of vesting in the period of 12 months from the Effective Date (except in connection with a Change of Control) and thereafter shall vest in accordance with achievement of the VWAP Condition, subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company on the date(s) that the VWAP Condition is met (except as provided in Section 6). Subject to the sale or withholding of any vested Shares to satisfy applicable tax obligations, Executive may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, charge or otherwise dispose of any vested Shares received with respect to the PSUs for a period of 12 months following the respective vesting date.

If a VWAP is achieved on a vesting date, there shall be no further vesting in respect of that VWAP on any subsequent vesting date. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 6.2(f)) including (without limitation) any Change of Control that occurs during the twelve-month period immediately following the Effective Date, where the Share Price is between the values set forth in the table, the percentages of PSUs eligible to vest will be determined by linear interpolation (rounded down to the nearest whole share) between such two VWAP targets.

shall have no entitlement to compensation or damages in respect of any loss suffered in consequence thereof.
4.Confidentiality, Proprietary Rights and Non-Competition Agreement.

(f)the Executive has violated state, United States federal or United Kingdom securities laws or regulations; or
(g)the Executive has willfully failed to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Company to cooperate, willfully destroyed or failed to preserve documents or other materials relevant to such investigation, or willfully induced others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such investigation.
5.2Termination by Executive without Good Reason. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Good Reason upon at least sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to the Company. During such notice period, Executive shall continue to perform all of Executive’s duties in accordance with the provisions hereunder.

Executive may terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason in accordance with this Section 5.3. “Good Reason” means (a) a material diminution in the Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities without Executive’s consent; provided, however, that if there is Change in Control (as defined below) or other corporate restructuring, Executive shall not have Good Reason solely on account of Executive holding materially the same position in the surviving legal entity or business unit as Executive held before such Change in Control or other restructuring, even if now part of a larger company or conglomerate; (b) a reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or a material reduction in the Executive’s on-target Annual Bonus opportunity; (c) a change by the Company in the hybrid work location arrangement, without Executive’s consent; (d) a change by the Company in the location at which the Executive is required to perform Executive’s principal duties for the Company to a new location that is more than two hundred and seventy five (275) miles from the location at which the Executive performed Executive’s principal duties for the Company immediately prior to such change and that is not in the Eastern time zone, without Executive’s consent; (e) a change by the Company in the location at which the Executive is required to perform Executive’s principal duties for the Company to a new location that is more than two hundred and seventy five (275) miles from the location at which the Executive performed Executive’s principal duties for the Company immediately prior to such change and that is in the Eastern time zone, without Executive’s consent (not to be unreasonably

withheld); or (f) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), (i) Executive provides written notice to the Company objecting to the existence of a condition for Good Reason within forty-five (45) days of the initial existence thereof, (ii) the Company has thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to cure the condition for Good Reason and fails to do so, and (iii) Executive terminates Executive’s employment within thirty (30) days of the expiration of such cure period. For the avoidance of doubt, failure of the shareholders to approve the Remuneration Policy as described in Section 3.8 shall not constitute Good Reason.
5.4Termination on Account of Death or Disability. Executive’s employment will terminate automatically upon the death of Executive and the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment upon the Executive’s Disability. “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental illness, impairment, or infirmity (other than an absence from work on an approved paternity leave) which renders the Executive unable to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position, including Executive’s duties under this Agreement, with reasonable accommodation, for at least one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive days or for shorter periods aggregating one hundred and eighty (180) days during any three hundred and sixty-five (365) day period.

Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company in order to ensure an orderly transfer of Executive’s duties and responsibilities.
9.3Recoupment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any payments or benefits paid or due to Executive by the Company or any Group Company under this or any other agreement shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Company or any Group Company from time to time, and to any requirement of applicable law, obligation of the Company or any of its affiliates to any government entity, agency or regulator, or listing standard that requires the Company to recoup or clawback any such payments or benefits. The Company’s rights under this Section 9.3 shall be full recourse and shall be in addition to its rights under Section 6.5 (Forfeiture/Conditions). The Company shall have the right to offset Executive’s obligations under this Section 9.3 against any amounts otherwise owed to Executive from the Company or its affiliates (including any amounts held in escrow for Executive). The Executive further agrees to execute any such additional documents as the Company deems reasonably necessary to give effect to the foregoing.
10.Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.
10.1Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to or application of choice-of-law rules or principles, and without regard to the place of execution or the place of performance thereof.
10.2Venue. The parties agree that any legal proceeding, commenced by one party against the other, shall be brought in any state or federal court having proper jurisdiction within the State of Delaware. Both parties submit to such jurisdiction, and waive any objection to venue and/or claim of inconvenient forum.
10.3Equitable Relief; Rights and Remedies. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of the Company to seek equitable relief in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the Non-Competition Agreement. No right, power or remedy conferred upon a party in this Agreement shall be exclusive, and each such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power, or remedy, whether conferred in this Agreement, the Non-Competition Agreement, or any other agreement, or now or hereafter available at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

11.Withholding and Section 409A.
11.1Withholding. All amounts paid under this Agreement shall be paid less all applicable tax withholdings and any other withholdings required by law or authorized by Executive.
11.2Section 409A. The parties intend that the provisions of this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”) and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for any tax (including a tax or penalty due as a result of a failure to comply with Section 409A) from Executive to the Company or to any other individual or entity. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination also constitutes a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,” “separation from service” or like terms shall mean Separation from Service. Each installment payment required under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. If, upon separation from service, the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, any payment under this Agreement that is subject to Section 409A and would otherwise be paid within six months after the Executive’s separation from service will instead be paid in the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service (to the extent required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)). Any taxable reimbursement due under the terms of this Agreement shall be paid no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the expense is incurred and shall comply with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).
12.Miscellaneous Provisions.
12.1Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal having competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall not be voided, but shall be recast so as to be enforced to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law while taking into account the original intent and effect of the provision, and the remainder
16

of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any prohibition or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction.
12.2Parties Bound. The terms, provisions, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. The Company may assign this Agreement to its successors or affiliates, as in existence from time to time. Executive may not assign this Agreement. If this Agreement is assigned to another Group Company, or any other assignee, in connection with the transfer of the Executive’s employment to such member or other assignee, to the extent appropriate and on a going forward basis, references to “Company” shall be deemed replaced with references to such new employer. Executive understands and agrees that the terms of this Agreement will continue to apply to and bind Executive even if Executive is transferred at some time from Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to another of Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries. The Executive acknowledges further that Company’s affiliates, including the other Group Companies and any other permitted assignees, are intended beneficiaries of this Agreement.
12.3Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Non-Competition Agreement, supersede all prior understandings and agreements, oral or written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and constitute the sole agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Each party acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or written, have been made by any party or by anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied in this Agreement or the Non-Competition Agreement.
12.4Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Executive and the Company. By an instrument in writing similarly executed, Executive or the Company may waive compliance by the other party with any specifically identified provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform; provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity.
