Dear Mario:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm our mutual understanding of the terms and conditions of your benefits package as it relates to your current commuting arrangement between the Netherlands and Ireland and to your eventual permanent relocation and localization to Ireland, per your employment agreement.

Pre-localization

In the time between your start date and the date you relocate to Ireland, it is intended that you will commute from your home in the Netherlands to the Athlone, Ireland office at a frequency agreed upon by you and the Company.

Payroll/ /Retirement/Medical Benefits
During this time, you will remain on the Netherlands payroll and continue paying into all applicable local tax, social security and retirement schemes. Additionally, your annual vacation entitlement, holiday schedule and all applicable rules will be aligned to the Netherland's policy.

Should our third-party tax firm (Deloitte) advise us that the Company is required to report your earnings and/or you become required to pay taxes in Ireland based on the extent of your Irish-sourced income, the Company may be required to split your pay between the Netherlands and Ireland to ensure compliance with both jurisdictions. Any payroll changes will be discussed and reviewed with you prior to implementation.

You will continue to participate in the Netherlands medical coverage during your commuting arrangement to Ireland. The Company offers Business Travel Accident Insurance to cover any medical costs related to accidents or illness while you are traveling on Company business. Please see more information attached.

Costs related to required passports, visas, immunizations, standard physical examinations and other reasonable and necessary medical or document costs for you will be reimbursed by the Company.

The Relocation Allowance, payable to you upon signing this agreement and your repayment agreement, is equal to two months of your annual Netherlands base salary and is subject to applicable taxes and social security.

Relocation Benefits Available upon Localization to Ireland
You would be eligible for any of the relocation benefits stated above not utilized during the commuting phase of your relocation for the localization to Ireland.

Immigration
Costs related to required passports, visas, immunizations, standard physical examinations and other reasonable and necessary medical or document costs for your accompanying family members will be reimbursed by the Company. Work permits for your family members are not included or sponsored by the Company.

Household Goods Shipment
The Company will provide you with a relocation consultant who will coordinate all aspects of your household goods move including the pre-move survey, packing, loading, transportation, insurance valued at up to 218,000 EUR, procurement of customs documentation, customs clearance, storage, unloading and unpacking. The size of the surface and air shipments covered by the Company will depend on your family size. You will also be eligible for excess baggage fees of up to 50 lbs. or 23 kilos.




Teleflex does not provide support for items requiring special care or involving security considerations such as furs, jewelry, guns, weapons, valuable hobby collections, and irreplaceable art. Additionally, Teleflex will not pay for the shipment of automobiles, mobile homes, vans, boats, motorcycles or other large or fragile cargo (i.e., wine collections). All shipped items must meet the customs and import requirements of the destination country. Surface shipment is limited to essential and approved items.

The maintenance of an inventory listing required for insurance or custom/immigration purposes is your responsibility. Teleflex does not arrange for, or cover any costs associated with, the shipment of pets.

Purchase/Sale of Residence
Teleflex will not reimburse any costs associated with the sale or purchase of a residence in any country as a result of this localization, including, but not limited to, closing costs, real estate commissions, taxes of any kind and losses on the eventual sale of the residence. Teleflex will also not reimburse any currency fluctuations, foreign exchange losses, duplicate housing costs, or taxes on the capital gain triggered by a sale.

Repayment Agreement
Prior to providing relocation services, the Company will require your agreement to repay relocation expenses in the event that you voluntarily terminate your employment with the Company within two years of the services being provided. As it is anticipated that relocation support will be delivered in two phases, first during your commuting arrangement (home purchase assistance, relocation allowance, and immigration) and then a household goods shipment upon localization to Ireland, you will receive two separate agreements for signature that will align the specified repayment period to the applicable dates of service.

Coordination of your Commuting Arrangement and Relocation
The Total Rewards function will coordinate all technical and practical aspects of your relocation including authorizing and managing services with third-party vendors, authorizing payments to you, instructions for Home and Host Location payrolls as well as coordinating with the Home and Host Location Human Resource Business Partners.

The Company's Relocation Consultant is AIReS. You will be assigned a counselor who is to be your relocation coordinator and information resource on all aspects of your relocation and corresponding services. AIReS should process the audit and reimbursement of all relocation expenses related to your relocation, such as immigration expenses.

Company's Third-Party Tax Advisor
The Company's third-party tax advisor is Deloitte. You will be assigned a home country and host country tax consultant. You will be responsible for paying all actual tax on your earnings in the Netherlands, and in Ireland should that become required, including taxable benefits-in-kind.
