Section 7. | Prohibition Against Transfer |
Section 8. | Responsibility for Taxes |

c. | Depending on the withholding method, Lilly and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax Related Items by considering applicable statutory or other withholding rates, including minimum or maximum rates in the jurisdiction(s) applicable to the Grantee. In the event of over-withholding, the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (without interest and without entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares). If the obligation for Tax Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares to which he or she is entitled pursuant to this Award, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are withheld to satisfy the obligation for Tax Related Items. |
d. | Lilly may refuse to deliver Shares or any cash payment to the Grantee if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligation in connection with the Tax Related Items as described in this Section 8. |

Section 11. | Data Privacy |
a. | Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about the Grantee, and persons closely associated with the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Shareholder Value Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Grantee’s consent. Where required under Applicable Laws, Data may also be disclosed to certain securities or other regulatory authorities where the Company’s securities are listed or traded or regulatory filings are made and the legal basis, where required, for such disclosure are the Applicable Laws. |

In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner. |
c. | International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. The Grantee’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States.

The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is Grantee’s consent. |

e. | Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and the Grantee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke the Grantee’s consent, the Grantee’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant this Award or other awards to the Grantee or administer or maintain such awards. |
f. | Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that data subject rights regarding the processing of Data vary depending on Applicable Laws and that, depending on where the Grantee is based and subject to the conditions set out in such Applicable Laws, the Grantee may have, without limitation, the right to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Data the Company holds about the Grantee and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Data about the Grantee that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of the Grantee’s Data in certain situations where the Grantee feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of the Grantee’s Data that the Grantee has actively or passively provided to the Company or the Employer (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Data is based on consent or the Grantee’s employment and is carried out by automated means.

Section 15. | Compensation Recovery |
a. | (i) the number of Shares or the amount of the cash payment was calculated based, directly or indirectly, upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement of all or a portion of the Company’s financial statements, (ii) the Grantee engaged in intentional misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for such a restatement; and (iii) the number of Shares or the amount of cash payment that would have been issued or paid to the Grantee had the financial results been properly reported would have been lower than the number of Shares actually issued or the amount of cash actually paid; or |
b. | the Grantee has been determined to have committed a material violation of law or Company policy or to have failed to properly manage or monitor the conduct of an employee who has committed a material violation of law or Company policy whereby, in either case, such misconduct causes significant harm to the company. |
