ATTACHMENT I
JAZZ PHARMACEUTICALS PLC
2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-U.S. OPTION AGREEMENT
(NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION)
2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-U.S. OPTION AGREEMENT
(NONQUALIFIED 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 2011 Equity Incentive 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.
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, bank draft or money order payable to the Company (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
3
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.
(c) If this option is a Nonqualified Stock Option, subject to the consent of the Company at the time of exercise, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of your option by the largest whole number of Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price. You must pay any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by the “net exercise” in cash or other permitted form of payment. Ordinary Shares will no longer be outstanding under your option and will not be exercisable thereafter if those Ordinary Shares (i) are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (ii) are delivered to you as a result of such exercise, and (iii) are withheld to satisfy any Tax-Related Items (defined below).
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, bank draft or money order payable to the Company 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(h) 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 Cause or your Disability or death (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
4
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 Cause;
(d) five (5) days following the termination of your Continuous Service for Cause;
(e) the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice; or
(f) the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events that has a material negative impact on the business or reputation of the Company or an Affiliate: (i) your conviction for any criminal offence (other than an offence under any road traffic legislation for which a fine or non-custodial penalty is imposed) or any offence under any regulation or legislation relating to insider dealing, fraud or dishonesty; (ii) your attempted commission of, or participation in, a fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company or an Affiliate; (iii) your intentional, material violation of any contract or agreement between you and the Company or an Affiliate, or of any statutory duty owed to the Company or an Affiliate; (iv) your unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s or an Affiliate’s confidential information or trade secrets; or (v) your gross misconduct. The determination that a termination of your Continuous Service is either for Cause or without Cause shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion. Any determination by the Company that your Continuous Service was terminated with or without Cause for the purposes of this Agreement shall have no effect upon any determination of the rights or obligations of the Company or an Affiliate or you for any other purpose.
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 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.
5
9. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
(a) If your Continuous Service terminates either within twelve (12) months following or one (1) month prior to the effective date of a Change in Control due to an Involuntary Termination Without Cause, the vesting and exercisability of your option shall be accelerated in full.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Involuntary Termination Without Cause” means the involuntary termination of your Continuous Service for reasons other than death, Disability, or Cause. Any determination by the Company that your Continuous Service was terminated with or without Cause for the purposes of this Agreement shall have no effect upon any determination of the rights or obligations of the Company or an Affiliate or you for any other purpose.
10. PARACHUTE PAYMENTS.
(a) If you are a U.S. taxpayer and any payment or benefit you would receive from the Company or otherwise in connection with a Change in Control or other similar transaction (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount ((x) or (y)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state, foreign and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the manner that results in the greatest economic benefit for you.
(b) The independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the event described in Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the independent registered public accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting such Change in Control or similar transaction, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such independent registered public accounting firm required to be made hereunder.
(c) The independent registered public accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and you within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which your right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Company or you) or such other time as reasonably requested by the Company or you. Any good faith determinations of the
6
independent registered public accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and you.
11. 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.
12. 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 in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment and shall not in any way restrict the Company or an Affiliate to terminate your Continuous Service or employment. 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.
13. TAX WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.
You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your 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 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 in Ordinary Shares to be issued at exercise of the option.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other
7
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. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Ordinary Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Ordinary Shares subject to the exercised options, notwithstanding that a number of the Ordinary Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/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.
14. 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 option and any Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(g) the future value of the Ordinary Shares underlying the option is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(h) if the underlying Ordinary Shares do not increase in value, the option will have no value;
8
(i) 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;
(j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the option resulting from the termination of your Continuous Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are providing Continuous Service or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the option, you agree not to institute any claim against the Company, any Affiliate or the Employer;
(k) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the option and any Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service you may provide as a director of the Company or any Affiliate;
(l) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the option 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 Ordinary Shares; and
(m) neither the Company, the Employer 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.
15. 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 are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

22. 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 employees).

APPENDIX
TO THE
NON-U.S. OPTION AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Appendix contains additional terms and conditions that govern the option granted under the Plan to you if you reside and/or work in one of the countries listed below. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the meanings set forth in the Plan, the Grant Notice and/or the Agreement.
If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working, transfer employment and/or residency after the option is granted, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to you and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to you.
NOTIFICATIONS
This Appendix contains information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of May 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time you exercise the option or sell Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant thereto.
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.
AUSTRIA
Notifications
Exchange Control Notification. If you hold Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan outside of Austria, you must submit a report to the Austrian National Bank. An exemption applies if the value of the Ordinary Shares as of any given quarter does not meet or exceed €30,000,000 or if the value of the Ordinary Shares in any given year as of December 31 does not meet or exceed €5,000,000. If the former threshold is exceeded, quarterly obligations are imposed, whereas if the latter threshold is exceeded, annual reports must be given. The annual reporting date is December 31 and the deadline for filing the annual report is March 31 of the following year.
A separate reporting requirement applies when you sell Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan or receive a dividend payment. In that case, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash
12
proceeds are held outside of Austria. If the transaction volume of all accounts abroad meets or exceeds €10,000,000, the movements and balances of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the 15th day of the following month, on the prescribed form (Meldungen SI-Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichtungen).
BELGIUM

Taxation of Option. The option must be accepted in writing either (i) within 60 days of the offer (for tax at offer), or (ii) after 60 days of the offer (for tax at exercise). You have received a separate offer letter and undertaking form in addition to the Agreement and should refer to the offer letter for a more detailed description of the tax consequences corresponding with when you accept the option. You should consult with your personal tax advisor regarding taxation of the option and completion of the additional forms.
NOTIFICATIONS

CANADA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Form of Payment. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 3(b) and 13 to the contrary, you are prohibited from surrendering Ordinary Shares that you own or attesting to the ownership of Ordinary Shares to pay the exercise price or any Tax-Related Items in connection with the option.
The following provision applies if you reside in Quebec:
Consent to Receive Information in English. The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceeds entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.
Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la rédaction en anglais de la convention, ainsi que de tous documents, avis et procédures judiciaires, exécutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou liés directement ou indirectement à, la présente convention.
13
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Notification. You will not be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of Ordinary Shares acquired upon exercise of the option within Canada. You will be permitted to sell or dispose of any Ordinary Shares only if such sale or disposal takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of the stock exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are traded (i.e., Nasdaq).
Foreign Asset / Account Reporting. Canadian residents are required to report any foreign specified property (including unvested options and Ordinary Shares) annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. The form must be filed by April 30th of the following year. Options must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property. When Ordinary Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Ordinary Shares. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares at the time of acquisition, but if other shares are also owned, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. You should consult your personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

SPAIN
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Nature of Grant. This provision supplements Section 14 of the Agreement:
In accepting the option, you consent to participate in the Plan and acknowledge having received and read a copy of the Plan.
You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant an option under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Employer, the Company or any Affiliate throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or any Affiliate except as set forth in the Plan or Agreement. Consequently, you understand that your option is granted on the assumption and condition that such option and any Ordinary Shares acquired upon exercise of your option shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Employer or the Company or any Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that your option would not be granted but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of your option shall be null and void.
Further, the vesting of your option is expressly conditioned on your Continuous Service, such that if your service or employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, your option ceases vesting immediately effective on the date of termination of your service or employment. This will be the case, for example, even if you (1) are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) terminate service or employment due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) terminate service or employment due to the Company’s or any Affiliate’s unilateral breach of contract; or (5) are terminated from service or employment for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon your termination of service or employment for any of the above reasons, you will automatically lose any rights to your option that were unvested on the date of termination.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Notification. Your option described in the Plan and the Agreement, including this Appendix, does not qualify under Spanish regulations as a security. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Plan and the Agreement, including this Appendix, have not been nor will they be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and they do not constitute a public offering prospectus.
Exchange Control Notification. The acquisition, ownership and sale of Ordinary Shares under the Plan must be declared for statistical purposes to the Spanish Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”), the Bureau for Commerce and Investments, which is a department of
17
the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. Generally, the declaration must be made each January for Ordinary Shares owned as of December 31 of the prior year; however, if the amount of Ordinary Shares acquired or sold exceeds a specific threshold or if you hold 10% or more of the share capital of the Company or such other amount that would entitle you to join the Company’s board of directors, the declaration must be filed also within one month of the acquisition or sale, as applicable.
Foreign Asset / Account Reporting. Spanish residents are required to declare electronically to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the Ordinary Shares held in such accounts if the value of the transactions during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceed €1,000,000. More frequent reporting is required if such transaction value or account balance exceeds €100,000,000.
In addition, you may be subject to certain tax reporting requirements with respect to assets or rights that you hold outside of Spain, including bank accounts, securities and real estate if the aggregate value for particular category of assets exceeds €50,000 as of December 31 each year. Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan or other equity programs offered by the Company constitute securities for purposes of this requirement, but unvested awards (e.g., options, etc.) are not considered assets or rights for purposes of this reporting requirement. If applicable, you must report the assets on Form 720 by no later than March 31 following the end of the relevant year. After the rights and/or assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will apply only if the value of previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than €20,000 as of each subsequent December 31 or if you sell or otherwise dispose of previously-reported rights or assets. You should consult with your personal advisor to determine your obligations in this respect.

UNITED KINGDOM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Tax Withholding Obligations. This provision supplements Section 13 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 13 of the Agreement, you agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company
18
or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You also agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any taxes that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on your behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In such case, if the amount of any income tax due is not collected from or paid by you within 90 days of the end of the UK tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Employer for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from you at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 13 of the Agreement.
Joint Election for Transfer of Liability for Employer National Insurance Contributions. As a condition of participation in the Plan, you agree to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs that may be payable by the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate in connection with the option and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer NICs”). Without prejudice to the foregoing, you agree to execute a joint election with the Company, the form of such joint election (the “Joint Election”) having been approved formally by HMRC, and any other required consent or election prior to exercise of the option. You further agree to execute such other joint elections as may be required between you and any successor to the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate. You further agree that the Company, the Employer and any Affiliate may collect the Employer NICs from you by any of the means set forth in Section 13 of the Agreement.
If you do not enter into a Joint Election prior to the exercise of the option, you will not be entitled to exercise the option unless and until you enter into a Joint Election, and no Ordinary Shares will be issued to you under the Plan, without any liability to the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate.
