2.    Grant of Performance SARs. Subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions herein, and pursuant to the Plan, the Company grants to the Grantee, effective as of the Grant Date, an Award of performance-based Free-Standing SAR with respect to the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto (“Performance SARs”). Upon exercise of a Performance SAR in accordance with this Agreement, the Company will, subject to Section 7.4 of the Plan and Section 5 below, issue to the Grantee the number of the Shares, if any, by which the Fair Market Value of the Shares represented by such Performance SAR as of the date on which such exercise is considered to occur pursuant to Section 4 exceeds the Base Price of such Performance SAR; provided, however, the Company reserves the right, upon approval of the Committee, to deliver such consideration in the form of Shares or cash equal in value to the Fair Market Value of the shares. The Performance SARs, to the extent they have become exercisable in accordance with Section 3, will be exercisable during the period commencing on the Vesting Date and expiring at the Close of Business on March 15, 2031 (the “Term”), subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 7. The Base Price and number of SARs are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11.

3.    Conditions of Exercise.

(a)    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Performance SARs will be exercisable only in accordance with the conditions stated herein.

(i)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(b) of the Plan, in the last sentence of this Section 3(a)(i), 3(a)(ii) or in Section 3(b), the Performance SARs will become exercisable on the Vesting Date, conditioned upon Grantee’s continued service through the Vesting Date and the achievement by Grantee of the Annual Performance Level throughout the Performance Period.

(ii)    The achievement of the required Annual Performance Level will be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion following the completion of the Performance Period. If the Grantee fails to maintain minimum performance levels in each Review Period, the Committee has the discretion to reduce the number of Performance SARs that may be earned. In particular, if the supervisor of the Grantee determines that the Grantee failed to meet the minimum level of performance for any Review Period, the Committee has discretion to reduce the number of Performance SARs that may become exercisable by up to 100%. The Base Price and number of Performance SARs are also subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11.




(iii)    Based on the Grantee’s Annual Performance Level for each Review Period during the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine whether the Performance SARs should be reduced. Following such determination, the Committee shall notify the Grantee, in the form and manner as determined by the Committee, of the number of Performance SARs that will become exercisable on the Vesting Date.

(iv)    If the number of Grantee’s Performance SARs is reduced, the excess Performance SARs will immediately be cancelled.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in the event of the Grantee’s Termination of Service occurs by reason of the Grantee’s death or Disability, the Grantee (or the Grantee’s estate in the case of death) will be entitled to exercise all Performance SARs that would have become exercisable on the Vesting Date, after application of the Committee’s discretion to reduce the number that may become exercisable due to failure to maintain minimum performance levels during the Review Period prior to the Termination of Service, and (y) if the Termination of Service is by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) or by Grantee due to Retirement, the Grantee’s Performance SARs will terminate immediately upon such Termination of Service, unless the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, authorizes the Performance SARs to be exercisable based on its assessment of the Grantee’s performance levels during each Review Period prior to the Termination of Service. With respect to clause y, the number of Performance SARs that are exercisable will be as determined by the Compensation Committee, not to exceed the product of (A) 1/36 of the number of the Performance SARs that would have become exercisable on the Vesting Date, times (B) the number of full months of employment completed since the Grant Date. In each case, Grantee’s employment with Company or its Subsidiaries on the last day of each month will be considered a full month of employment.

(b)    If Grantee is suspended (with or without compensation) or is otherwise not in good standing with the Company or any Subsidiary as determined by the Company’s General Counsel due to an alleged violation of the Company’s Code of Conduct, applicable law or other misconduct (a “Suspension Event”), the Company has the right to suspend the vesting of the Performance SARs until the day after the General Counsel has determined (x) the suspension is lifted or (y) the Company determines lack of good standing has been cured (each, the “Recovery Date”). If the Suspension Event has occurred and prior to the Recovery Date, the Grantee dies, is disabled or is terminated without Cause, then the provisions of Sections 3(a)(i) and 7 continue to apply notwithstanding the Suspension Event, unless otherwise agreed by the Company. If the Grantee resigns or is terminated for Cause prior to the Recovery Date then the Performance SARs will be terminated without any further vesting after the date of the Suspension Event, unless otherwise agreed by the Company.




(c)    To the extent the Performance SARs become exercisable, all or any of such Performance SARs may be exercised (at any time or from time to time, except as otherwise provided herein) until expiration of the Term or earlier termination thereof.

(d)    The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Committee, in its discretion and as contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Plan, may adopt rules and regulations from time to time after the date hereof with respect to the exercise of the Performance SARs and that the exercise by the Grantee of Performance SARs will be subject to the further condition that such exercise is made in accordance with all such rules and regulations as the Committee may determine are applicable thereto.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Termination of Service (x) by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause or (y) by the Grantee for Good Reason, in each case, occurs on or prior to (A) the 12 month anniversary of an Approved Transaction or (B) with respect to clause (y) of this Section 3(e) only, the later of such 12 month anniversary or the first day following the expiration of the cure period described below, then all Performance SARs will become exercisable on the date of Termination of Service subject to application of the Committee’s discretion to reduce the number that may become exercisable due to failure to maintain minimum performance levels during each Review Period prior to the date of the Approved Transaction. For Grantee’s Termination of Service to qualify as for Good Reason, the Grantee must notify the Committee in writing within 30 days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the Good Reason, and the Company must have failed to take corrective action within 30 days after such notice is given to cure the event giving rise to the Good Reason for Termination of Service. The number of Performance SARs that will become exercisable due to a Board Change or Control Purchase pursuant to Section 11(b) of the Plan will be subject to application of the Committee’s discretion to reduce the number that may become exercisable due to failure to maintain minimum performance levels during each Review Period prior to the date of the Board Change or Control Purchase.

4.    Manner of Exercise. The Performance SARs will be considered exercised (as to the number of Performance SARs specified in the notice referred to in Section 4(a) below) on the latest of (i) the date of exercise designated in the written notice referred to in Section 4(a) below, (ii) if the date so designated is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such date or (iii) the earliest Business Day by which the following have occurred:

(a)    The Grantee has either (i) notified the Third Party Administrator through its website or by telephone (see Section 13 below) of the exercise, or (ii) submitted to the Company a properly executed written notice of exercise in such form as the Committee may require containing such representations and warranties as the



Committee may require and designating, among other things, the date of exercise and the number of Performance SARs to be exercised; and

(b)    The Third Party Administrator or the Company, as the case may be, has received such other documentation, if any, that the Committee may reasonably require.

5.     Mandatory Withholding for Taxes.

(a)    The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will deduct from the Shares otherwise payable or deliverable upon exercise of any SARs, a number of Shares (valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise) that is equal to the amount, if any, of all national, state and local taxes and employee social security contributions required to be withheld by the Company upon such exercise, as determined by the management of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Required Withholding Amount”). Without limitation to the foregoing sentence, the Grantee hereby agrees that the Required Withholding Amount can also be collected by (i) deducting from cash amounts otherwise payable to the Grantee (including wages or other cash compensation) or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of any SARs through a sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), but in either case, subject to compliance with applicable law.
(b)    If the Grantee is subject to tax in the United Kingdom and the withholding of any income tax due is not made within 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 Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax shall (assuming the Grantee is not a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act)) constitute a loan owed by the Grantee to the Grantee’s employer (“Employer”), effective on the Due Date. The Grantee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) Official Rate, it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by deduction from cash amounts otherwise payable to the Grantee (including wages or other cash compensation). If the Grantee is a director or executive officer and income tax is not collected from or paid by him or her by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) will be payable. The Grantee 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, for the value of any NICs due on this additional benefit.

6.    Delivery by the Company. As soon as practicable after receipt of all items referred to in Section 4, and subject to the withholding referred to in Section 5, the



Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to or at the direction of the Grantee the amount of consideration determined under the second sentence of Section 2 above, which consideration shall consist of Shares (valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise); provided, however, the Company reserves the right, upon approval of the Committee, to deliver such consideration in the form of Shares or cash equal in value to the Fair Market Value of the Shares. Any delivery of Shares will be deemed effected for all purposes when (i) a certificate representing such Shares or statement of holdings reflecting such Shares held for the benefit of Grantee in uncertificated form by a third party service provider designated by the Company has been made available in written or electronic format to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, when the certificate or statement of holdings has been deposited in the United States or local country mail, addressed to the Grantee, or (ii) confirmation of deposit into the designated broker’s account of such Shares, in written or electronic format, is first made available to Grantee.

7.    Early Termination of the Performance SARs. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, after the Vesting Date, the Performance SARs will terminate prior to the expiration of the Term at the time specified below:

(a)    Subject to Section 7(b), if Termination of Service occurs other than (i) by the Company or a Subsidiary (whether for Cause or without Cause), (ii) by reason of the Grantee’s Retirement or (iii) by reason of Grantee’s death or Disability, then the Performance SARs will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the 90‑day period which began on the date of Termination of Service.
(b)    If the Grantee dies (i) prior to Termination of Service or prior to the expiration of a period of time following Termination of Service during which the Performance SARs remain exercisable as provided in Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), as applicable, the Performance SARs will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the one-year period which began on the date of the Grantee’s death, or (ii) prior to the expiration of a period of time following Termination of Service during which the Performance SARs remain exercisable as provided in Section 7(d) or Section 7(f), the Performance SARs will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the later of the expiration of (A) the one-year period which began on the date of the Grantee’s death, (B) the Special Termination Period, or (C) the two-year period which began on the date of the Grantee’s Retirement.

(c)    Subject to Section 7(b), if Termination of Service occurs by reason of Disability, then the Performance SARs will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the one-year period which began on the date of Termination of Service.




(d)    If the Performance SARs are exercisable as confirmed pursuant to Section 3(a) and Termination of Service is by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee), the Performance SARs will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the Special Termination Period. The Special Termination Period is the period of time beginning on the date of Termination of Service and continuing for the number of days that is equal to the sum of (a) 90, plus (b) 180 multiplied by the Grantee’s total Years of Continuous Service, provided that the Special Termination Period will in any event expire on the second anniversary of the date of Termination of Service. A Year of Continuous Service means a consecutive 12-month period, measured from the Grantee’s hire date (as reflected in the payroll records of the Company or a Subsidiary) and the anniversaries of that date, during which the Grantee is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary without interruption. If the Grantee was employed by a Subsidiary at the time of such Subsidiary’s acquisition by the Company, the Grantee’s employment with the Subsidiary prior to the acquisition date will not be included in determining the Grantee’s Years of Continuous Service unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that such prior employment will be included. If the Grantee was employed by a Subsidiary at the time of a disposition of such Subsidiary by the Company, the Grantee’s employment with the Company will be a Termination of Service without Cause as provided in this subparagraph (d) (unless otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Committee).

(e)    If Termination of Service is by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause, then the Performance SARs will terminate immediately upon such Termination of Service.

(f)    If the Performance SARs are exercisable as confirmed pursuant to Section 3(a) and Termination of Service is due to Retirement, then the Performance SARs shall remain exercisable until the first to occur of the date that is two years after the date of the Grantee’s Retirement or the scheduled expiration of such Performance SARs.

In any event in which the Performance SARs remain exercisable for a period of time following the date of Termination of Service as provided above, the Performance SARs may be exercised during such period of time only to the extent the same were exercisable as provided in Section 3 above on
such date of Termination of Service. Notwithstanding any period of time referenced in this Section 7 or any other provision of this Section 7 that may be construed to the contrary, the Performance SARs will in any event terminate upon the expiration of the Term.
8.    Automatic Exercise of Performance SARs. Immediately prior to the termination of Performance SARs, as provided in Section 7(a), 7(b), 7(c), 7(d) or 7(f)



above or upon expiration of the Term, all remaining Performance SARs then exercisable will be deemed to have been exercised by the Grantee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no exercise of Performance SARs will be deemed to occur upon Termination of Service for Cause.

9.    Nontransferability. During the Grantee’s lifetime, the Performance SARs are not transferable (voluntarily or involuntarily) other than pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order and, except as otherwise required pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order, are exercisable only by the Grantee or the Grantee’s court appointed legal representative. The Grantee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom the Performance SARs will pass upon the Grantee’s death and may change such designation from time to time by filing a written designation of beneficiary or beneficiaries with the legal department of the Company on such form as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that no such designation will be effective unless so filed prior to the death of the Grantee. If no such designation is made or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Grantee’s death, the Performance SARs will pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Following the Grantee’s death, the Performance SARs, if otherwise exercisable, may be exercised by the person to whom such right passes according to this Section 9 and such person will be deemed the Grantee for purposes of any applicable provisions of this Agreement. [CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY FORM.]

10.    No Shareholder Rights. The Grantee will not, by reason of the Award granted under this Agreement, be deemed for any purpose to be, or to have any of the rights of, a Shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to the Performance SARs, nor will the existence of this Agreement affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its Shareholders to accomplish any corporate act, including, without limitation, the acts referred to in Section 11.16 of the Plan.

11.    Adjustments. The Performance SARs will be subject to adjustment (including, without limitation, as to the number of Performance SARs and the Base Price per Share) in the sole discretion of the Committee and in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable and appropriate in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 4.2 of the Plan following the Grant Date.

12.    Limitation of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan will be construed to give the Grantee any right to be granted any future Award other than in the sole discretion of the Committee or give the Grantee or any other person any interest in any fund or in any specified asset or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

13.    Restrictions Imposed by Law. Without limiting the generality of Section 11.8 of the Plan, the Grantee will not exercise any Performance SARs, and the Company will not be obligated to issue or cause to be issued any Shares, if counsel to the Company determines that such exercise or issuance would violate any applicable law or



any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which Shares are listed or quoted. The Company will in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Performance SARs or issuance of Shares upon exercise to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.

14.    Notice. Unless the Company notifies the Grantee in writing of a different procedure:

(a)    any notice or other communication to the Company with respect to this Agreement (other than a notice of exercise pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement) will be in writing and will be delivered personally or sent by United States first class or local country mail, postage prepaid, overnight courier, freight prepaid or sent by facsimile and addressed as follows:

15.    Amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Agreement may be supplemented or amended from time to time as approved by the Committee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the consent of the Grantee,

(a)    this Agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time as approved by the Committee (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or (ii) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Company for the benefit of the Grantee or surrender any right or power reserved to or conferred upon the Company in this Agreement, subject to any required approval of the Shareholders and, provided, in each case, that such changes will not adversely affect the rights of the Grantee with respect to the Award evidenced hereby, or (iii) to reform the Award made hereunder as contemplated by Section 11.18 of the Plan or to exempt the Award made hereunder from coverage under Code Section 409A, or (iv) to make such other changes as the Company,

(b)    subject to any required action by the Board or the Shareholders, the SARs granted under this Agreement may be canceled by the Company and a new Award made in substitution therefor, provided that the Award so substituted will satisfy all of the requirements of the Plan as of the date such new Award is made and no such action will adversely affect any SARs to the extent then exercisable.

16.    Grantee Employment.

(a)    Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action of the Company or the Committee with respect hereto, will confer or be construed to confer on the Grantee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with any right of the Company or any Subsidiary, subject to the terms of any separate employment agreement to the contrary, to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time, with or without Cause.

(c)    In the event of any inconsistency between the terms hereof or of the Plan and any employment, severance or other agreement or arrangement with the Grantee, the terms hereof and of the Plan shall control.

17.    Nonalienation of Benefits. Except as provided in Section 9 of this Agreement, (i) no right or benefit under this Agreement will be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same will be void, and (ii) no right or benefit hereunder will in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the Grantee or other person entitled to such benefits.
