PART B: PARTNERSHIP SHARES 13. ISSUE OF INVITATIONS TO ENTER INTO A PARTNERSHIP SHARE AGREEMENT 13.1 The Company may from time to time invite every Plan Employee to enter into a Partnership Share Agreement under which:- 13.1.1 such Employee agrees to one or more deductions being made from his Salary (before deduction of income tax and NICs under PAYE) for the acquisition of Shares on his behalf to be held in the Plan ("Partnership Shares"); and 13.1.2 the Company undertakes to arrange for Partnership Shares to be acquired by the Trustee on behalf of such person in accordance with the Plan. 13.2 If the terms of such Partnership Share Agreement (as is mentioned in Rule 13.1) do not differ materially from the terms of any subsisting Partnership Share Agreement, then no such invitation need be issued to any Plan Employee who is already party to such a subsisting Partnership Share Agreement. 13.3 If the terms of such Partnership Share Agreement (as is mentioned in Rule 13.1) differ in any material respect from the terms of any subsisting Partnership Share Agreement , then the Company shall on that occasion invite each of those Plan Employees who is already party to a subsisting Partnership Share Agreement either:- 13.3.1 to give notice of withdrawal from such subsisting Partnership Share Agreement (as mentioned in Rule 29) and enter into a fresh Partnership Share Agreement; or 13.3.2 if the difference relates only to an increase in the maximum amount of deductions from Salary specified by the Directors (as mentioned in Rule 17), to vary the amount of the deductions authorised to be made under such subsisting Partnership Share Agreement (as mentioned in Rule 18). 14. ENTRY INTO A PARTNERSHIP SHARE AGREEMENT Each Plan Employee who wishes to enter into a Partnership Share Agreement in response to such an invitation shall, within the period of 14 days after such notice is given, or such further period as the Company may allow, complete and return to the Company (or such other person as the Company may direct) in such form as the Company may specify (which may be in writing or electronic form) a Partnership Share Agreement. 15. QUALIFYING PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT 15.1 The Directors may determine that a Plan Employee shall be eligible to have Shares acquired by the Trustee on his behalf on any occasion only if he has, throughout such period as the Directors shall specify, held continuous employment with a Qualifying Company. 15.2 Any such Qualifying Period shall:- 15.2.1 if a Participant's deductions from Salary are to be accumulated as mentioned in Rule 23.4, be a period of not more than 6 months ending with the start of the Accumulation Period; 15.2.2 if not, be a period of not more than 18 months ending on the day on which the deduction is made from the Participant's Salary; and 15.2.3 be the same for all Plan Employees in relation to acquisitions of Shares on the same occasion. 46342153.8\sc24 6

 

16. AUTHORITY TO MAKE DEDUCTIONS FROM SALARY A Partnership Share Agreement shall specify:- 16.1 the amount (or percentage of the amount of Salary from which such deduction is made) which the Plan Employee authorises to be deducted from his Salary each month; and 16.2 at what intervals such deductions shall be made. 17. INDIVIDUAL LIMIT ON DEDUCTIONS FROM SALARY 17.1 The amount deducted from a Participant's Salary in any Tax Year shall not exceed:- 17.1.1 10 per cent of the Participa nt's Salary for the Tax Year or, if such deductions are to be accumulated within successive Accumulation Periods, 10 per cent of the total of the Participant's Salary paid during the Accumulation Period; and 17.1.2 £1,500 or such other percentage or amount as is stated in Schedule 2 to be the maximum which may be so deducted. 17.2 Any amount deducted in excess of that allowed by Rule 17.1 shall be paid over to the Participant, subject to deduction of income tax and NICs under PAYE, as soon as is practicable. 17.3 The minimum amount to be deducted pursuant to a Partnership Share Agreement on any occasion shall:- 17.3.1 be determined by the Directors and specified in the Partnership Share Agreement; 17.3.2 be not greater than £10; and 17.3.3 be the same in relation to all Partnership Share Agreements entered into in response to invitations issued on the same occasion. 18. VARIATION BY PARTICIPANTS OF AMOUNTS DEDUCTED A Participant may only be a party to one Partnership Share Agreement authorising one or more deductions from his Salary in any given month, but the Directors may from time to time, and subject to Rule 17.1 and the terms of the relevant Partnership Share Agreement , agree to any request by a Participant to vary the amount of the deductions authorised to be made. 19. TERM OF A PARTNERSHIP SHARE AGREEMENT The authority to make deductions from Salary granted by a Participant pursuant to a Partnership Share Agreement shall lapse upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Rule 23.6 or, if earlier, upon the effective date of a Participant's withdrawal from a Partnership Share Agreement as mentioned in Rule 29. 20. NOTICE OF EFFECT OF DEDUCTIONS ON BENEFITS AND TAX CREDITS Every Partnership Share Agreement shall contain a notice under paragraph 48 of Schedule 2 containing information prescribed by regulations made by H M Revenue & Customs as to the possible effect of deductions on a Plan Employee's entitlement to social security benefits and tax credits. 46342153.8\sc24 7

 

21. NOTICE TO STOP DEDUCTIONS 21.1 A Participant may at any time give notice in writing to the Company direct ing the Company to procure that deductions being made from his Salary pursuant to a Partnership Share Agreement are stopped . 21.2 If a Participant has given a notice pursuant to Rule 21.1, he may (on one occasion only in any Accumulation Period) subsequently give notice in writing to the Company directing the Company to procure that deductions are again made pursuant to that Partnership Share Agreement. 21.3 Unless a Participant specifies a later date in any such notice, the Company shall procure that:- 21.3.1 within 30 days of receiving a notice given pursuant to Rule 21. 1, no further deductions are so made; or 21.3.2 if a notice is given pursuant to Rule 21.2, the first deduction made thereafter shall be made not later than the date on which the first deduction is due to be made under the relevant Partnership Share Agreement more than 30 days after receipt of such notice. 21.4 A Participant may not make up any deduction that has been missed in consequence of having given any such notice. 22. PARTNERSHIP SHARE MONEY TO BE HELD BY THE TRUSTEE 22.1 Partnership Share Money shall be paid to the Trustee as soon as is practicable after it is deducted from a Participant's Salary. 22.2 The Trustee shall hold such monies on behalf of, and on trust for the benefit of, such Participant and shall apply such monies in acquiring Partnership Shares on the Participant's behalf. 22.3 A Participant's Partnership Share Money shall be deposited by the Trustee in an account with a Bank. 22.4 If such account pays interest, the Trustee shall account for such interest to the Participant. 22.5 Participants' Partnership Share Monies shall either:- 22.5.1 be applied by the Trustee in acquiring Shares on behalf of each Participant on the date set by the Trustee (which shall be the same date in relation to all Participants) being a date within 30 days after each deduction is made; or 22.5.2 be accumulated by the Trustee within each successive Accumulation Period (as mentioned in Rule 23) and be applied in acquiring Shares on behalf of each Participant on the date set by the Trustee (which shall be the same date in relation to all Participants) , being a date within 30 days after the end of the relevant Accumulation Period. 23. ACCUMULATION PERIODS 23.1 If the Directors determine that the Plan is to be operated using an Accumulation Period instead of monthly purchase, the first Accumulation Period shall begin on the first date (after such determination has taken effect) on wh ich the first deductions from Salary are made and successive Accumulat ion Periods shall each begin on the date on which the first deductions from Salary are made after the end of the last Accumulation Period. 23.2 Accumulat ion Periods relating to deductio ns from Salaries made pursuant to all Partnership Share Agreements entered into in response to invitations issued on the same occasion shall be of the same length. 46342153.8\sc24 8

 

23.3 Subject to Rule 23.2, successive Accumulation Periods may vary in length, but no Accumulation Period shall exceed 12 months. 23.4 A Participant's Partnership Share Money first deducted within a given Accumulation Period shall be accumulated by the Trustee with all other amounts of that Participant's Partnership Share Money deducted from Salary within that Accumulation Period. 23.5 If, after the end of an Accumulation Period, the Shares which would otherwise be acquired on behalf of Participants in accordance with Rule 22.5.2 would not then satisfy the requirements of Part 4 of Schedule 2 the Trustee shall, as soon as practicable, return to each Participant (subject to deduction of income tax and NICs under PAYE) all of the Partnership Share Money held on behalf of such Participant. 23.6 All subsisting Accumulation Periods shall immediately come to an end (and, except as provided by Rule 31.2, no new Accumulation Period shall thereafter begin):- 23.6.1 with effect from the date specified in a notice to terminate the operation of the Plan given in accordance with Rule 9.1; 23.6.2 if notice is given to shareholders of the Company of a resolution being proposed for the voluntary winding-up of the Company; 23.6.3 upon the commencement of a winding-up of the Company; 23.6.4 if a general offer is made to acquire the whole of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company which is made on a condition such that if it is satisfied the person making the offer will have Control of the Company; 23.6.5 if a general offer is made to acquire all the shares in the Company of the same class as the Shares; 23.6.6 if any person becomes entitled or bound to acquire shares in the Company under sections 974 to 991 of the Companies Act 2006; or 23.6.7 with effect from the date on which the Directors specify in a notice in writing given to all Participants pursuant to Rule 31.1. 23.7 If an Accumulation Period comes to an end pursuant to Rule 23.6, and if the Partnership Share Agreement so provides, the Trustee shall , as soon as practicable, pay to each Participant, subject to deduction of income tax and NICs under PAYE, the amount of that Participant's Partnership Share Money deducted from Salary in that Accumulation Period. 23.8 Where a Participant ceases to be in Relevant Employme nt during an Accumulat ion Period, any Partnership Share Money deducted in that Accumulation Period shall be paid over to him (subject to deduction of income tax and NICs under PAYE) as soon as practicable instead of being applied in purchasing Shares on his behalf. 24. CONNECTED SHARE INCENTIVE PLANS 24.1 An individual shall be entitled to have Shares acquired on his behalf pursuant to this Part B in any Tax Year, if in that Tax Year he has had shares awarded to him or acquired on his behalf (or wou ld have had shares awarded to him but for his failure to meet any performance target set in relation to such award) under any connected Approved Share Incentive Plan PROVIDED THAT:- 24.1.1 an individual shall not be entitled to participate simultaneously in connected Approved Share Incentive Plans; and 24.1.2 the limit on a Participant's contributions towards the purchase of Partnership Shares referred to in Rule 17.1 shall apply as if the Plan and the other connected Approved 46342153.8\sc24 9

 

Share Incentive Plan(s) in which the individual participates in the same Tax Year were one plan. 24.2 For purposes of Rule 24.1 an Approved Share Incentive Plan is a "connected Approved Share Incentive Plan" if it is established by the Company or a Connected Company . 25. ACQUISITION OF PARTNERSHIP SHARES 25.1 Subject to Rule 25.2, the Trustee shall apply Participants' Partnership Share Money in acquiring Shares on the Acquisition Date and shall do so at a price per Share equal to the Market Value of a Share on that date. 25.2 If a Participant's deductions from Salary are to be accumulated as mentioned in Rule 23.4, the Trustee shall on each occasion on which a Participant's Partnership Share Money is applied in acquiring Shares, do so at a price per Share determined as specified in the applicable Partnership Agreement pursuant to paragraph 52 of Schedule 2, being any of the following:- 25.2.1 the lesser of the Market Value of a Share on the first day of the relevant Accumulation Period and the Market Value of a Share on the Acquisition Date; 25.2.2 the Market Value of a Share on the first day of the relevant Accumulation Period; or 25.2.3 the Market Value of a Share on the Acquis ition Date. 25.3 If the application of Rules 25.1 and 25.2 would result in the acquisition of a fraction of a Share, the number of Shares actually acquired on that occasion shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. 25.4 If a Participant, having entered into a Partnership Share Agreement , ceases to be in Relevant Employment at any time during the Acquisition Period in relation to an acquisition of Partnership Shares by the Trustee on his behalf , then he or she is to be treated, for the purposes of this Plan, as not ceasing to be in Relevant Employment until immediately after Partnership Shares have been acquired by the Trustee on his or her behalf pursuant to this Rule 25 so that:- 25.4.1 the Trustee shall apply the Participant's Partnership Share Money in acquiring Shares; but 25.4.2 such Partnership Shares are to be treated, immediately after such acquisition, as ceasing to be subject to the Plan. 26. SCALING BACK OF PARTNERSHIP SHARES 26.1 The Directors may determine and specify that the number of Shares which the Trustee acquires on behalf of a Participant on any occasion shall be restricted to such maximum number as the Directors shall notify to the Participant:- 26.1.1 before the deduction from Salary is made; or 26.1.2 if such deductions from Salary are to be accumulated as mentioned in Rule 23.4, before the beginning of the relevant Accumulation Period. 26.2 Each Participant's Partnership Share Agreement shall contain an undertaking by the Company to notify the Participant from time to time as appropriate of the maximum number of Shares which may be available to be acquired on behalf of Participants (in accordance with Rule 26.1). 26.3 If on any occasion the number of Shares whic h could otherwise be acquired with a Participant's Partnership Share Money is greater than the maximum number specified pursuant to Rule 26.1 (if any), then the number of Shares wh ich the Trustee acquires on behalf of each Participant shall be reduced accordingly. 46342153.8\sc24 10

HOLDING PERIOD FOR FREE SHARES 53.1 The Directors shall, in relation to each Award Date, specify a Holding Period throughout which a Participant must be bound by contract with the Company (except as mentioned in Rule 53.3):- 53.1.1 for so long as the Participant remains in Relevant Employment, to permit his Free Shares to remain in the hands of the Trustee ; and 53.1.2 not to assign, charge or otherwise dispose of his beneficial interest in such Free Shares . 53.2 The Holding Period must be a period of not less than 3 years nor more than 5 years, beginning with the Award Date and shall be the same in relation to all Free Shares awarded on any given Award Date. 53.3 A Participant's obligation to permit his Free Shares to remain in the hands of the Trustee throughout the Holding Period (as mentioned in Rule 53.1) shall be subject to the following exceptions:- 53.3.1 the Trustee may at any time dispose of such a Participant's Plan Shares as may be necessary to realise sufficient monies to satisfy any obligation under PAYE as mentioned in Rule 70.1; and 53.3.2 a Participant may during the Holding Period direct the Trustee to deal with any of such Participant's Plan Shares as mentioned in Rule 65. 54.
