(b)to Participants who are employees and who, subsequent to receiving such grants, (i) become residents of the United Kingdom for tax purposes, or (ii) commence performing some or all of the duties of their employment in the United Kingdom (other than where such performance in the United Kingdom is not significant in scope and is incidental to duties performed by the relevant employee outside the United Kingdom (in which case the terms of this sub-plan shall be deemed to apply from the date on which the relevant Options were granted),

in each case such Participants being “United Kingdom Beneficiaries”.

4.              Limitation on Eligibility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, only

United Kingdom Beneficiaries are eligible to receive new grants of Options under the United Kingdom Sub-Plan and, accordingly, no new grants of Options shall be made under the United Kingdom Sub-Plan to Service Providers, or to any other person who is not an employee at the time of such grant.

5.              United Kingdom Taxes. For the purposes of the United Kingdom Sub-Plan, the terms of the Plan shall include the following provisions in relation to UK taxation:

(a) As a condition of the grant, vesting and exercise of the Options, the ultimate liability for all income tax, National Insurance Contributions (“NICs) or any other social security contributions (including, except where determined otherwise by the Company or (if different) the Participant’s employer

19

(the “Employer”), employer’s NICs or other employer’s social security contributions to the extent such amounts may be lawfully recovered from the relevant Participant), or any other relevant taxes or tax related items (or any equivalent or similar taxes, contributions or other relevant tax-related items in any relevant jurisdiction) or required deductions, withholdings or payments legally applicable to the relevant Participant and related to the grant, vesting or exercise of the Options, the issuance or subsequent sale of the Shares subject to the Option, or the participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the responsibility of the relevant Participant and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or (if different) the Employer.

(b) The Participant irrevocably agrees to pay to the Company or (if different) the Employer the amount of any Tax-Related Items or enter into arrangements to the satisfaction of the Company or the Employer (as appropriate) for payment of any Tax-Related Items, including (but not limited) by way of (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other compensation paid to the Participant by the Company or the Employer, (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired at exercise of the Options either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) without further consent, (iii) withholding Shares that would otherwise be issued upon exercise of the Options or (iv) such other method as determined by the Company.

(c) The Participant further irrevocably agrees that if the Participant does not pay or the Employer or the Company does not withhold from Participant the full amount of any Tax-Related Items that the Participant owes in connection with the exercise of the relevant Options and/or the acquisition of Shares pursuant to the exercise of the relevant Options, or the disposal of Shares acquired on exercise of the Options, or the release or assignment of the Option for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Options (the “Taxable Event”) within ninety (90) days of the end of the UK tax year in which the Taxable Event occurs, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the UK Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (“ITEPA 2003”) (the “Due Date”), then the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items shall (unless the Company or (if different) the Employer determines otherwise at its discretion) constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Company or (if different) the Employer, effective on the Due Date. The Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) and will be immediately due and repayable by the Participant, and the Company or the Employer (as appropriate) may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in paragraph 5(b) above. The Participant also authorizes the Company to withhold the transfer of any Shares unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or other officer of the Company or the Employer (including an executive officer of the Company), the Participant will not be eligible for such a loan to cover any relevant uncollected Tax-Related Items. In that case, or in any other case where the Company or the Employer determines not to treat the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items as a loan in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items that are not collected from or paid by the Participant by the Due Date will constitute a benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and NICs will be payable. The Participant shall be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime (unless the Company or the Employer has confirmed that such income tax has been accounted for through payroll) and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from the Participant at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in paragraph 5(b) above.

(e) By receiving a grant of Options, the relevant Participant agrees to indemnify the Company, the Employer (if different) and any relevant Subsidiary or Affiliate, against all and any liability for any taxes or Tax-Related Items which may arise in respect of or in connection with the relevant Options (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any option granted or provided to the relevant Participant by way of rollover, assumption or replacement of the Options) or the Shares (or, for the avoidance of doubt, other

20

shares or securities) issued or transferred pursuant to the exercise of the Options (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any option granted or provided to the relevant Participant by way of rollover, assumption or replacement of the Options).

(f) The vesting and/or exercise of an Option granted to any Participant shall be conditional (unless and to the extent any such condition has been waived by the Company or (if different) the Employer) on:

(i) the Participant entering into a joint election with the Company or (if different) the Participant’s employer (as appropriate) pursuant to section 431(1) or 431(2) of ITEPA 2003 (a “Section 431 Election”, in the form set out in Part 1 of the Schedule to this Appendix) (or such other election as the Company or the employer may direct for the same purpose) in respect of any Shares acquired (or to be acquired) on the vesting or exercise of the relevant Option; and

(ii) the Participant entering into a joint election with the Company or (if different) the Participant’s employer (as appropriate), made in accordance with paragraph 3B(1) of Schedule 1 of the UK Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (a “Joint NICs Election”, in the form set out in Part 2 of the Schedule to this Appendix), to transfer to Participant the liability for and secondary Class 1 (employer) National Insurance contributions arising in respect of “relevant employment income” as defined in paragraph 3B(1A) of Schedule 1 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992.

6.              Data protection.For the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the United Kingdom Sub-Plan, the Company, the Employer (as defined above) (or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) and any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the United Kingdom Sub-Plan now or in the future, will collect and process information relating to the Participant in accordance with the privacy notice available from the Company or (if different) the Employer, as may be supplemented by any Option Agreement.

7.              Miscellaneous.For the purposes of the United Kingdom Sub-Plan, the terms of the Plan

shall include the following provisions:

(a) The value of any benefit realised by the Participant under the United Kingdom Sub-Plan, any Program or any Option Agreement shall not be taken into account in determining any pension or similar entitlements.

(b) The Participant shall not have any right to compensation or damages from the Company, the Employer (if different) (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company), or any other person assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the United Kingdom Sub-Plan, any Program and/or any Option Agreement now or in the future, on account of any loss of any right for any Options to vest or be exercised or the lapsing, cancellation, forfeiture or extinction of any Options under the terms of the United Kingdom Sub-Plan, any Program and/or any Option Agreement where such loss arises (or is claimed to arise) in whole or in part from (i) the termination of the Participant’s employment with, or (ii) notice to terminate the Participant’s employment given by or to, the Company or (if different) the Employer (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company). This exclusion of liability shall apply however the termination of employment, or the giving of notice, is caused, and however compensation or damages may be claimed.

Schedule to the United Kingdom Sub-Plan

Part 1: Form of Section 431 Election

Joint Election under s431 ITEPA 2003 for full or partial disapplication of Chapter 2 Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003

One Part Election

1. Between

the Employee		[•]
whose National Insurance Number is	[•]
and
the Company (who is the Employee's employer)	[•]
of Company Registration Number		[•]

2. Purpose of Election

This joint election is made pursuant to section 431(1) or 431(2) Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA) and applies where employment-related securities, which are restricted securities by reason of section 423 ITEPA, are acquired.

The effect of an election under section 431(1) is that, for the relevant Income Tax and NIC purposes, the employment-related securities and their market value will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 ITEPA do not apply. An election under section 431(2) will ignore one or more of the restrictions in computing the charge on acquisition. Additional Income Tax will be payable (with PAYE and NIC where the securities are Readily Convertible Assets).

Should the value of the securities fall following the acquisition, it is possible that Income Tax/NIC that would have arisen because of any future chargeable event (in the absence of an election) would have been less than the Income Tax/NIC due by reason of this election. Should this be the case, there is no Income Tax/NIC relief available under Part 7 of ITEPA 2003; nor is it available if the securities acquired are subsequently transferred, forfeited or revert to the original owner.

3. Application

This joint election is made not later than 14 days after the date of acquisition of the securities by the employee and applies to:

Number of securities	[•]
Description of securities	[•]
Name of issuer of securities	[•]
* acquired by the Employee on	[dd/mm/yyyy]
* to be acquired by the Employee between	[dd/mm/yyyy] and [dd/mm/yyyy]

*              to be acquired by the Employee after [dd/mm/yyyy] under the terms of [ insert scheme/plan name]

(* delete as appropriate)

4. Extent of Application

This election disapplies (* delete as appropriate):

*S.431(1) ITEPA: All restrictions attaching to the securities, or

*S431(2) ITEPA: The following specified restriction : [details of specified restriction]

5. Declaration

This election will become irrevocable upon the later of its signing or the acquisition (* and each subsequent acquisition) of employment-related securities to which this election applies.

(* delete as appropriate)

In signing this joint election, we agree to be bound by its terms as stated above.
