(c) No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such party's rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. No waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time.

The Company may assign this Agreement, or all or any portion of its obligations hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 5 hereof), to any of its subsidiaries by which Executive is employed, if and to the extent that doing so is deemed beneficial to the Company and not detrimental to the Executive.

(e)    Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees of the parties hereto.

If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions under section 409A of the Code, then such benefit or payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed. For purposes of section 409A of the Code, all payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event shall the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.

All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time

specified in the Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(k) Delay in Payment.

If any payments are postponed due to such requirements, such postponed amounts will be paid in a lump sum to the Executive on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six (6) months following the Executive's "separation from service" with the Company (or any successor thereto), and any amounts payable to the Executive after the expiration of such six (6)-month period under this Agreement shall continue to be paid to Executive in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Executive dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of the postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of the Executive's estate within sixty (60) days after the date of the Executive's death.

(l) Clawback. All compensation and benefits hereunder, including the Award, shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (1) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or a duly authorized committee of the Board, as in effect from time to time, and (2) applicable law. In addition, if Executive receives any

amount in excess of the amount that Executive should have otherwise received under the terms of this Agreement or any compensation or benefit plans of the Group Company for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the Board or a duly authorized committee of the Board may provide that Executive shall be required to repay any such excess amount.

(m) Data Protection. Executive acknowledges the holding and processing of personal data provided by her to the Company for all purposes relating to this employment, including but not limited to administering and maintaining personnel records, paying and reviewing salary and other remuneration and benefits, undertaking performance appraisals and reviews, maintaining sickness and other absence records and taking decisions as to fitness for work. The Company may make such information available to any Group Company, those who provide products or services to any Group Company (such as advisers and payroll administrators), regulatory authorities, potential purchasers of the Company or the business in which the Executive works, and as may be required by law. Executive acknowledges the transfer of such information to any Group Company and any Group Company’s business contacts outside the European Economic Area in order to further their business interests even where the country or territory in question does not maintain adequate data protection standards. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in the course of its duties as an employer, be required to disclose personal data relating to her, after the end of her employment. This does not affect Executive’s rights under the Data Protection Act 2018.

(n)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

(o)    Headings. The headings of the sections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

(a)In General. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows, provided that the Participant has remained in continuous Service through each such date:

(i)33.3% of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on August 31, 2021 (the “Tranche 1 Restricted Stock Units”);

Each of the dates described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) is a “Vesting Date”. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the date on which the Participant commences employment with the Company or an employing Affiliate is hereinafter referred to as the “Start Date”.

(b)Involuntary Termination. If, prior to the first anniversary of the Start Date, the Participant is terminated by the Company or an employing Affiliate (that is not a Joint Venture) without Cause or due to death or Disability, all of the Tranche 1 Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested on the date of such termination. If the Participant is terminated by the Company or an employing Affiliate (that is not a Joint Venture) without Cause or due to death or Disability on or following the first anniversary of the Start Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Start Date, a pro-rata portion of the Tranche 2 Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the date of such termination equal to the number of Tranche 2 Restricted Stock Units multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the first anniversary of the Start Date to the date of the Participant’s termination of Service and the denominator of which is 365. If the Participant is terminated by the Company or an employing Affiliate (that is not a Joint Venture) without Cause or due to death or Disability on or after the second anniversary of the Start Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Start Date, a pro-rata portion of the Tranche 3 Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the date of such termination equal to the number of the Tranche 3 Restricted Stock Units multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the second anniversary of the Start Date to the date of the Participant’s termination of Service and the denominator of which is 365.

(c)Joint Venture. If the Participant becomes an employee of a Joint Venture, vesting of any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be tolled beginning on the date the Participant becomes an employee of the Joint Venture and shall recommence on the date the

Participant again becomes an Employee. Accordingly, the applicable vesting period shall be extended by the number of days the Participant was an employee of the Joint Venture.

(d)Forfeiture. In the event the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason not provided in Sections 2(a) or 2(b) above, then notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or these Terms and Conditions to the contrary any unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to the Participant shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant's termination of Service.

3.Nontransferability.

(a)Except as provided in Section 3(b) and subject to Section 5(b), no Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and all rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall be available during the Participant’s lifetime only to the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, require the Participant’s guardian or legal representative to supply it with evidence the Committee deems necessary to establish the authority of the guardian or legal representative to act on behalf of the Participant.

(b)Subject to Section 5(b) and applicable law, Restricted Stock Units may be transferred to a Successor.

5.Securities Law Requirements.

(a)If at any time the Committee determines that issuing Shares would violate applicable securities laws, the Company will not be required to issue such Shares. The Committee may declare any provision of these Terms and Conditions or action of its own null and void, if it determines the provision or action fails to comply with the short-swing trading rules.
