ATTACHMENT I
NON-U.S. OPTION AGREEMENT
JAZZ PHARMACEUTICALS PLC
AMENDED AND RESTATED
2007 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK AWARD PLAN

NON-U.S. OPTION AGREEMENT
(NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION)
Pursuant to your Non-U.S. Option Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and this Non-U.S. Option Agreement, including any country‑specific Appendix (the “Agreement”), Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (the “Company”) has granted you an option under its Amended and Restated 2007 Non-Employee Directors Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase the number of Ordinary Shares indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. The option is granted to you effective as of the date of grant set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Date of Grant”). Except as otherwise explicitly provided in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, in the event of any conflict between the terms in the Grant Notice or this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in the Grant Notice or this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.
The details of your option, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows:
1.VESTING. Subject to Section 9 and the limitations contained herein, your option will vest as provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you do not stand for reelection at an annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (an “Annual Meeting”) in the year in which your term expires or you otherwise resign effective at an Annual Meeting, and, in either case, your Continuous Service terminates at such Annual Meeting, then effective as of the date of such Annual Meeting, the unvested portion, if any, of your option shall become vested and exercisable with respect to the portion of your option that would have vested through the anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (as set forth in the Grant Notice) in the year of such Annual Meeting.
2.    NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE. The number of Ordinary Shares subject to your option and your exercise price per Ordinary Share referenced in your Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments.
3.    METHOD OF PAYMENT. You must pay the full amount of the exercise price for the Ordinary Shares you wish to exercise. You may pay the exercise price in cash or by check


 



(subject to Section 4) or in any other manner permitted by your Grant Notice, which may include one or more of the following:
(a)    Provided that at the time of exercise the Ordinary Shares are publicly traded, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Ordinary Shares, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds. This manner of payment is also known as a “broker-assisted exercise,” “same day sale,” or “sell to cover.”
(b)    Provided that at the time of exercise the Ordinary Shares are publicly traded, by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of already-owned Ordinary Shares that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. “Delivery” for these purposes, in the sole discretion of the Company at the time you exercise your option, will include delivery to the Company of your attestation of ownership of such Ordinary Shares in a form approved by the Company. You may not exercise your option by delivery to the Company of Ordinary Shares if doing so would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement applicable to the, or restricting the redemption of, the Ordinary Shares.
4.    PAYMENT OF PAR (NOMINAL) VALUE. To the extent that any Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of your option are newly issued Ordinary Shares, you must pay in cash or by check an amount equal to the par value of such number of newly issued Ordinary Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).
5.    WHOLE SHARES. You may exercise your option only for whole Ordinary Shares.
6.    SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your option unless the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such Ordinary Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your option also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations. The Company shall have no liability to you should your option expire unexercised as a result of the Company’s determination that the exercise of your option does not comply with the applicable laws and regulations governing the option or that the exercise is not in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
7.    TERM. You may not exercise your option before the commencement or after the expiration of its term. The term of your option commences on the Date of Grant and expires, subject to the provisions of Section 5(i) of the Plan, upon the earliest of the following:
(a)    three (3) months after the termination of your Continuous Service for any reason other than your Disability or death or upon a Change in Control (except as otherwise provided in Section 7(c) below); provided, however, that if during any part of such three (3) month period


 



your option is not exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in the section above relating to “Securities Law Compliance,” your option will not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it has been exercisable for an aggregate period of three (3) months after the termination of your Continuous Service;
(b)    twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your Disability (except as otherwise provided in Section 7(c) below);
(c)    eighteen (18) months after your death if you die either during your Continuous Service or within three (3) months after your Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than death;
(d)    twelve (12) months after the effective date of a Change in Control if your Continuous Service terminates as of, or within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control (except as otherwise provided in Section 7(c) above);
(e)    the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice; or
(f)    the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant.
8.    EXERCISE.
(a)    You may exercise the vested portion of your option during its term by (i) delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) or completing such other documents and/or procedures designated by the Company for exercise and (ii) paying the exercise price and any applicable Tax-Related Items (defined below) to the Company’s Secretary, stock plan administrator, or such other person as the Company may designate, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.
(b)    By exercising your option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your option, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any Tax-Related Items arising by reason of (i) the exercise of your option or (ii) the disposition of Ordinary Shares acquired upon such exercise.
9.    CHANGE IN CONTROL. If you are either (i) required to resign your position as a Non-Employee Director as a condition of a Change in Control, or (ii) removed from your position as a Non-Employee Director in connection with a Change in Control, your option shall become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effectiveness of such resignation or removal (and contingent upon the effectiveness of such Change in Control).
10.    TRANSFERABILITY. Your option is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you.
11.    OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue providing services to the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your services and shall not in any way restrict the Company


 



or an Affiliate to terminate your Continuous Service. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective shareholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.
12.    TAX WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.
You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer, if your employer is an Affiliate of the Company (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 your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company 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 option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the option, the subsequent sale of Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company 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 the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.
In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by (i) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares acquired at exercise of the option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization) without further consent or (ii) withholding from any cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Ordinary Share equivalent.
Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Ordinary Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.


 



13.    NATURE OF GRANT. In accepting the option, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:
(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)    the grant of the option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past;
(c)    all decisions with respect to future option or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)    you are voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)    the future value of the Ordinary Shares underlying the option is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(f)    if the underlying Ordinary Shares do not increase in value, the option will have no value;
(g)    if you exercise the option and acquire Ordinary Shares, the value of such Ordinary Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the exercise price;
(h)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the option resulting from the termination of your Continuous Service; and
(i)    neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the option or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the exercise of the option or the subsequent sale of any Ordinary Shares acquired upon exercise.
14.    NO ADVICE REGARDING GRANT. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Ordinary Shares. You should consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
15.    DATA PRIVACY. The Company and any Affiliate may collect, use, process, transfer or disclose your Personal Information for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, in accordance with the Company’s privacy practices.

25.    INSIDER TRADING / MARKET ABUSE LAWS. You may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and your country or your broker’s country, if different, which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Ordinary Shares, rights to Ordinary Shares (e.g., options) or rights linked to the value of Ordinary Shares under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions).

Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party and (b) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities (third parties include fellow directors). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time.
