GRANT OF PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS

Section 2.1 - Grant of the Performance-Based Restricted Share Units

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the additional terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement including any country-specific provisions set forth in Schedule A to this Agreement, and, if applicable, the restrictive covenants set forth in Schedule B to the Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Associate the target number of PRSUs specified in a schedule to the Agreement or as stated in the Associate’s online account with the Company’s designated broker/stock plan administrator. In circumstances where the Associate is required to enter into the Agreement of Restrictive Covenants and Other Obligations set forth in Schedule B, the Associate agrees that the grant of PRSUs pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient consideration for the Associate entering into such agreement.

Section 2.2 - PRSU Payment

In accordance with Section 7(d)(ii) of the Plan, the Shares to be issued upon vesting and settlement of the PRSUs must be fully paid up prior to issuance of Shares by payment of the Nominal Value per Share. The Committee shall ensure that payment of the Nominal Value for any Shares underlying the PRSUs is received by it on behalf of the Associate at the time the PRSUs are settled from a non-Irish Subsidiary or other source and shall establish any procedures or protocols necessary to ensure that payment is timely received.

Section 2.3 - Employment or Service Rights

Subject to the terms of the Agreement of Restrictive Covenants and Other Obligations, where applicable, the rights and obligations of the Associate under the terms of his office or employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or Designated Associate Company shall not be affected by his participation in the Plan or any right which he may have to participate in it. The PRSUs and the Associate’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment agreement or service contract with the Company or any Subsidiary or a Designated Associate Company and the terms of any separate employment agreement to which the Associate is a party shall remain in effect and will control to the extent that there are any inconsistencies with this Agreement. The Associate hereby waives any and all rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the Termination of Service for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights arise or may arise from his ceasing to have rights under or be entitled to earn or vest in his PRSUs as a result of such Termination of Service. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Associate

shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims.

Section 2.4 - Adjustments in PRSU's Pursuant to Change of Control or Similar Event, etc.

Subject to Sections 12 and 13 of the Plan, in the event that the outstanding Shares subject to the PRSUs are, from time to time, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of Shares or other securities, by reason of a share split, spin-off, share or extraordinary cash dividend, share combination or reclassification, recapitalization or merger, Change of Control, or similar event, the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, substitute or adjust proportionally (i) the number and kind of Shares subject to the PRSUs; or (ii) the terms and conditions of the PRSUs (including without limitation, any applicable Performance Objectives with respect thereto). An adjustment may have the effect of reducing the price at which Shares may be acquired to less than their Nominal Value (the “Shortfall”), but only if and to the extent that the Committee shall be authorized to capitalize from the reserves of the Company a sum equal to the Shortfall and to apply that sum in paying up that amount on the Shares. Any such adjustment or determination made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Associate, the Company and all other interested persons.

Section 2.5 - Tax Withholding

The Associate acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Employer the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items, is and remains the Associate’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Associate further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PRSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the PRSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PRSUs to reduce or eliminate the Associate’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Associate is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Associate acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Associate agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

In this regard, the Associate authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the PRSUs.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Associate will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Associate is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested PRSUs, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, the Associate agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Associate’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Associate fails to comply with the Associate’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Section 2.6 - Dividend Equivalents

As long as the Associate holds PRSUs granted pursuant to this Award, the Company shall accrue for the Associate, on each date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of its Ordinary Shares, dividend equivalents equal to the total number of PRSUs credited to the Associate under this Award multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per Share by the Company on such date. Dividend equivalents shall accrue in the form of additional PRSUs paid at the time that such underlying PRSUs are settled. The accrued dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same restrictions as the PRSUs to which the dividend equivalents relate, and the dividend equivalents shall be forfeited in the event that the PRSUs with respect to which such dividend equivalents were credited are forfeited.

Section 2.7 - Clawback Policy

The Company may cancel all or part of the PRSUs or require payment by the Associate to the Company of all or part of any amount or Shares acquired by the Associate upon vesting and settlement of the PRSUs pursuant to the Company’s Clawback Policy as stated in Section 10 of the Plan.

The Associate acknowledges that, depending on the Associate or the Associate’s broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, the Associate may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Associate’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., PRSUs) or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as the Associate is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdictions of the Associate’s country). Local xxxxxxx xxxxxxx laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Associate placed before the Associate possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Associate could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy.

The Associate may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Associate's country.

The Associate acknowledges that it is his responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Associate should consult his personal legal advisor for any details.

Section 7.17 - Waiver

Section 7.18 - Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 7.19 - Code Section 409A

For purposes of United States taxpayers, it is intended that the terms of the PRSUs will comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations relating thereto so as not to subject the Associate to the payment of additional taxes and interest under Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement will be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner that is consistent with this intent. In furtherance of this intent, the Committee may adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, in each case, without the consent of the Associate, that the Committee determines are reasonable, necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related United States Department of Treasury guidance. In that light, the Company, its Subsidiaries and any Designated Associate Companies make no representation or covenant to ensure that the PRSUs that are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code are not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect thereto. Nothing in the Agreement shall provide a basis for any person to take action against the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Designated Associate Companies based on matters covered by Section 409A of the Code, including the tax treatment of any Shares or other payments made under the PRSUs granted hereunder, and the Company, its Subsidiaries and any Designated Associate Companies shall not under any circumstances have any liability to the Associate or his estate or any other party for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable under this Agreement, including taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code.

By the Associate’s execution or electronic acceptance of this Agreement (including the Schedules attached hereto) in the manner specified in the Associate’s online account with the Company’s designated broker/stock plan administrator, the Associate and the Company have agreed that the PRSUs are granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement (including the Schedules attached hereto).

Notwithstanding Section 1.13 and 3.2(c) of the Agreement, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Associate’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to the PRSUs as a result of the Associate’s retirement or reaching a certain age being unlawful and/or discriminatory, the favorable treatment contemplated under Section 1.13 and 3.2(c) shall not apply and Section 3.2 shall apply to the Associate without giving effect to Section 3.2(c).

Notifications

Accordingly, the Associate should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the tax or other laws in the Associate’s country apply to the Associate’s situation.

Finally, if the Associate is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Associate is currently residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the terms and conditions contained herein for the country the Associate is residing and/or working in at the time of grant may not be applicable to the Associate, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Associate Similarly, the information contained herein may no longer be applicable in the same manner.

Global Employee Personal Information Protection Notice

1. Introduction

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx operates as a global business through Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx PLC and its affiliated entities (together “the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group”). The Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group values the trust of its employees worldwide and is committed to protecting their personal information.

The Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group operates in many different countries. Some of these countries have laws related to the collection, use, transfer and disclosure of the personal information of individuals, including our employees. The purpose of this Global Employee Personal Information Protection Notice (the “Notice”) is to give you information about what personal information the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group collects, uses, transfers and discloses, and why. In some countries, the Notice may be supplemented by local employee privacy notices and such local notices will be drawn to your attention.

The Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx entity responsible for collecting and processing your personal data is the entity that employs you. You can check which entity employs you by checking your contract of employment or by asking your usual HR contact. In this Notice, the term "we" or "us" refers to that entity. The information that we collect about you as an employee allows us to administer your benefits, and helps to support routine Human Resources and operational processes, contingency planning, and internal talent searches.

2. What Personal Information about You We collect, and how We collect Your Personal Information

In the course of your employment, we may have collected or will collect information about you and your working relationship with us, your spouse, domestic/civil partner and/or dependents (“Dependents”). We refer to such information as “Personal Information”. For more specific information regarding what Personal Information about you we may collect, use, transfer and disclose, and the purposes for which it may be collected, used, transferred and disclosed, please see the Annex to this Notice. Local employee handbooks, office manuals, works council agreements and notices provided in your local office or on the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx intranet site may provide additional details or information.

We normally collect your Personal Information directly from you, for example when you apply for a job with us, when you commence your role, and from time to time throughout your employment when we ask you to provide information. We may be required as a consequence of our relationship with you as your employer, or by law, to collect certain Personal Information about you. Failure to provide this information may prevent or delay the fulfilment of our obligations as an employer. We will inform you at the time your information is collected whether certain information is compulsory and the consequences of the failure to provide such information.

We also collect certain Personal Information about you from other sources, including:

(a) background check information from employment screening agencies or publicly available registers, which may include information about criminal records (where allowed by law), or references obtained during recruitment;

(b) publicly available professional profiles on websites or social media (e.g. LinkedIn); and

(c) information about your performance or conduct from other employees, clients or service providers you work with who may provide feedback about you or participate in performance evaluations or reviews.

3. The Legal Bases and purposes for which We use, transfer and disclose Your Personal Information

We must have a legal basis to process your Personal Information. In most cases the legal basis will be one of the following:

(a) to fulfill our contractual obligations to you in connection with your employment contract with us;

(b) to comply with our legal obligations, for example obtaining proof of your identity to enable us to meet our anti-money laundering obligations, or obtaining proof of your right to work status to enable us to meet relevant obligations;

(c) to comply with our legal obligations to you, for example health and safety obligations that we must comply with as your employer or to a third party (e.g. the taxation authorities);

(d) to meet our legitimate interests, for example to manage our employees effectively, to protect us against theft or other crime, to allow you access to our technology and HR resources, and to conduct analytics that allows us to manage our workforce efficiently and plan recruitment activities. When we process personal information to meet our legitimate interests, we put in place robust safeguards to ensure that your privacy is protected and to ensure that our legitimate interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms; or

(e) to protect your or another person's vital interests, for example by providing your health information to a doctor in a medical emergency.

We may obtain your explicit consent to collect and use certain types of Personal Information when we are required to do so by law (for example, when we process some categories of sensitive personal information). If we ask for your consent to process your personal information, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

The purposes for which we use your personal information are explained in more detail in the Annex to this Notice.

4. Monitoring tools, profiling and automated decision-making

Some of the technology we use to protect company confidential information and ensure compliance with company policies monitors employee IT usage and employee communications and may automatically filter, record or block the sending of communications, or flag certain communications for further review, subject to meeting local legal requirements. For further information on this, please contact xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

Subject to restrictions under local laws, we may also use technology (including third party solutions) to process your Personal Information in a manner that constitutes "profiling". This involves the use of software that is able to evaluate your personal aspects and predict risks or outcomes. We do this to assist in workforce management, for example we may use software to ensure our workforce is managed and utilised efficiently, to predict risks in staff retention, to detect problems in the workplace, and/or to ensure that employees are being compensated fairly.

Although we may use this type of technology to assist our decision-making, we do not make important decisions about employees (e.g. as to their compensation, dismissal or promotion) without a member of management and/or the HR team assessing all the circumstances.

5. Transfer of Personal Information

Due to the global nature of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group operations, we may disclose Personal Information to personnel and departments in other entities which are part of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group to fulfil the purposes described in this Notice. This may include transferring Personal Information to other countries (including countries other than where you are based that have a different data protection regime than is found in the country where you are based). If you are located in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) this may include countries outside of the EEA. Some of these countries are recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection according to EEA standards (the full list of these countries is available athttps://xx.xxxxxx.xx/xxxx/xxx/xxx-xxxxx/xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx/xxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xx/xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xx-xxxxxxxxx_xx) while others are not. With regard to transfers to other countries that do not provide an adequate level of protection according to EEA standards, we have put in place adequate measures, such as standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission, to protect your information. You may obtain more information about these measures and the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group's Global Privacy Program by contacting xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

Access to Personal Information within the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group will be limited to those who have a need to know the information for the purposes described in the Annex to this Notice, and may include your managers and their designees, personnel in HR, IT, Compliance, Legal, Finance and Accounting and Internal Audit.

From time to time, we and other entities within the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group may need to make Personal Information available to other unaffiliated third parties. For a list of the categories of unaffiliated third parties, please see the Annex to this Notice. Some of the unaffiliated third parties will be located outside of your home jurisdiction, including in the United States

and other jurisdictions that may not provide an adequate level of protection according to EEA standards. Third party service providers and professional advisors are required to protect the confidentiality and security of Personal Information, and only use Personal Information for the provision of services to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group, and in compliance with applicable law.

6. Security

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group will take appropriate measures to protect Personal Information consistent with applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations, including requiring service providers to use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of Personal Information.

7. Data Retention

Xxxxx Towers Xxxxxx Group will keep your personal information for as long as you remain employed by us, and for a period of 10 years thereafter. We will only retain your personal information after this time if we are required to do so to comply with the law, or if there are outstanding claims or complaints that will reasonably require your personal information to be retained.

If there is any information that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further processing or use of the data.

8. Access and correction requests, questions and complaints
