WHEREAS, Indemnitee desires to serve or to continue to serve the Company as a

Company continues to provide on an acceptable basis adequate and reliable
indemnification against certain liabilities and expenses which may be incurred
by Indemnitee;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.    INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by
law with respect to Indemnitee's activities as a Director of the Company and/or
as a person who is serving or has served at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, trustee, employee, representative or agent of another
corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, domestic or foreign,
against expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee ("Expenses") in connection with any claim against Indemnitee, whether
or not such claim is brought by any party who may be an "insured person" under
the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance, which is the subject
of any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise and whether formal
or informal (a "Proceeding"), to which Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to
be made a party by reason of anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such
capacity.
(b) The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any rights
Indemnitee may now or hereafter have to indemnification by the Company, any
subsidiary of the Company or otherwise. More specifically, the parties hereto
intend that Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive, as determined by
Indemnitee, payment to the maximum extent permitted by one or any combination of
the following:
(i)    the payments provided by the Company's Memorandum and Articles of
Association in effect as at the date hereof;
(ii)    the payments provided by any code of regulations or their equivalent of
the Company in effect at the time Expenses are incurred by Indemnitee;
(iii)    the payments allowable under the Companies Act 1963 - 2012 (as same may
be amended) at the time Expenses are incurred by Indemnitee;
(iv)    the payments available under liability insurance obtained by the
Company; and
(v)    such other payments as are or may be otherwise available to Indemnitee
pursuant to any indemnity agreement entered into by the Indemnitee (for the
benefit of the Indemnitee) and any subsidiary of the Company or as may otherwise
be available to the Indemnitee.
Combination of two or more of the payments provided by (i) through (v) shall be
available to the extent that the Applicable Document, as hereafter defined, does
not require that the payments provided therein be exclusive of other payments.
The document or law providing for any of the payments listed in items (i)
through (v) above is referred to in this Agreement as the "Applicable Document."
The Company hereby undertakes to use its best efforts to assist Indemnitee, in
all proper and legal ways, to obtain the payments selected by Indemnitee under
items (i) through (v) above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, references to "other enterprises" shall
include employee benefit plans for employees of the Company or of any of its
subsidiaries without regard to ownership of such plans; references to "fines"
shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to any
employee benefit plan; references to "serving at the request of the Company"
shall include any service as a director, officer, trustee, employee,
representative or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves
services by, Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants or beneficiaries; references to the masculine shall include the
feminine; references to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa;
references to “include” shall be illustrative and shall not limit the sense of
the words preceding that term, and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner that Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the
participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be
deemed to have acted in a manner consistent with the standards required for
indemnification by the Company under the Applicable Documents.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all rights to
indemnification and the payment of Expenses in this Agreement shall only have
effect insofar as they are not contrary to or in violation of the laws of
Ireland, including section 200 of the Companies Act 1963 (as amended).
2.    INSURANCE.
The Company shall maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance which is
at least as favorable to Indemnitee as the policy in effect on the date hereof
and for so long as Indemnitee's services are covered hereunder, provided and to
the extent that such insurance is available on a reasonable commercial basis.
However, Indemnitee shall continue to be entitled to the indemnification rights
provided hereunder regardless of whether liability or other insurance coverage
is at any time obtained or retained by the Company. Any payments in fact made to
Indemnitee under an insurance policy obtained or retained by the Company shall
reduce the obligation of the Company to make payments hereunder by the amount of
the payments made under any such insurance policy. In the event that insurance
becomes unavailable in the amount or scope of coverage of the policy in effect
on the date hereof on a reasonable commercial basis and the Company foregoes
maintenance of all or a portion of such insurance coverage, the Company shall
stand as a self‑insurer with respect to the coverage, or portion thereof, not
retained, and shall indemnify Indemnitee against any loss arising out of the
reduction or cancellation of such insurance coverage.
3.    PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.
At Indemnitee's request, the Company shall subject to Paragraph 1(d) pay the
Expenses as and when incurred by Indemnitee, after receipt of written notice
pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof and an undertaking in the form of Exhibit I
attached hereto by or on behalf of Indemnitee (I) to repay such amounts so paid
on Indemnitee's behalf if it shall ultimately be determined under the Applicable
Document that Indemnitee is required to repay such Expenses and (ii) to
reasonably cooperate with the Company concerning the Proceeding. That portion of
Expenses which represents attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in defending
any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company within thirty (30) days of its
receipt of such notice, together with reasonable documentation evidencing the
amount and nature of such Expenses.
4.    ESCROW RESERVE.
The Company shall dedicate up to an aggregate of ten million dollars
($10,000,000) as collateral security for the initial funding of its obligations
hereunder and under similar agreements with other directors, officers and
representatives by depositing assets or bank letters of credit in escrow or
reserving lines of credit that may be drawn down by an escrow agent in the
dedicated amount (the "Escrow Reserve"); provided, however, that the terms of
any such Escrow Reserve may provide that the cash, securities or letters or
lines of credit available therefor shall be utilized for the indemnification or
advancement of expenses provided for herein only in the event that there shall
have occurred within the preceding five years a Change in Control of the
Company, as defined below. The Company shall promptly provide Indemnitee with a
true and complete copy of the agreement relating to the establishment and
operation of the Escrow Reserve, together with such additional documentation or
information with respect to the escrow as Indemnitee may from time to time
reasonably request. The Company shall promptly deliver an executed copy of this
Agreement to the Escrow Reserve agent to evidence to the agent that Indemnitee
is a beneficiary of the Escrow Reserve and shall deliver to Indemnitee the
escrow agent's signed receipt evidencing that delivery. For purposes of this
Agreement, a "Change in Control" of the Company shall have occurred if at any
time any of the following events shall occur:
(i) a tender offer shall be made and consummated for the ownership of securities
of the Company representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of
Company's then outstanding voting securities, (ii) the Company shall be merged
or consolidated with another corporation and as a result of such merger or
consolidation less than 75% of the outstanding voting securities of the
surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the former
shareholders of the Company, other than affiliates (within the meaning of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) of any party to such
merger or consolidation, as the same shall have existed immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation, (iii) the Company shall sell substantially all of
its assets to another corporation which is not a wholly‑owned subsidiary of the
Company, (iv) any person (as such term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or (v)
during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of
such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or the
nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, of each new director was
approved by a vote of at least two‑thirds of the directors then still in office
who were directors at the beginning of the period. For purposes of this
Agreement, ownership of voting securities shall take into account and include
ownership as determined by applying the provisions of Rule 13d‑3(d)(1)(i) of the
Exchange Act (as then in effect).
5.    ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
The indemnification provided in this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any
other indemnification or right to which Indemnitee may be entitled and shall
continue after Indemnitee has ceased to occupy a position as an officer,
director or representative as described in Paragraph 1 above with respect to
Proceedings relating to or arising out of Indemnitee's acts or omissions during
Indemnitee's service in such position.
6.    NOTICE TO COMPANY.
Indemnitee shall provide to the Company prompt written notice of any Proceeding
brought, threatened, asserted or commenced against Indemnitee with respect to
which Indemnitee may assert a right to indemnification hereunder; provided that
failure to provide such notice shall not in any way limit Indemnitee's rights
under this Agreement.
7.    COOPERATION IN DEFENSE AND SETTLEMENT.
Indemnitee shall not make any admission or effect any settlement with respect to
a Proceeding without the Company's written consent unless Indemnitee shall have
determined to undertake his or her own defense in such matter and has waived the
benefits of this Agreement in writing delivered to the Company. The Company
shall not settle any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party in any manner
which would impose any Expense on Indemnitee without his or her written consent.
Neither Indemnitee nor the Company will unreasonably withhold consent to any
proposed settlement. Indemnitee and the Company shall cooperate to the extent
reasonably possible with each other and with the Company's insurers, in attempts
to defend or settle such Proceeding.
8.    ASSUMPTION OF DEFENSE.
Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to
assume Indemnitee's defense in any Proceeding, with counsel mutually
satisfactory to Indemnitee and the Company. After notice from the Company to
Indemnitee of the Company's election so to assume such defense, the Company will
not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for Expenses subsequently
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ counsel in such Proceeding, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its
assumption of the defense thereof shall be at Indemnitee's expense unless:
(a)    the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the
Company;
(b)    counsel employed by the Company initially is unacceptable or later
becomes unacceptable to Indemnitee and such unacceptability is reasonable under
then existing circumstances;
(c)    Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict
of interest between Indemnitee and the Company in the conduct of the defense of
such Proceeding; or
(d)    the Company shall not have employed counsel promptly to assume the
defense of such Proceeding.
In each of the cases set forth in items (a) through (d) above, the fees and
expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company and subject to
payment pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall not be entitled to assume
the defense of Indemnitee in any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the
Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have reached either of the conclusions
provided for in clauses (b) or (c) above.
9.    ENFORCEMENT.
In the event that any dispute or controversy shall arise under this Agreement
between Indemnitee and the Company with respect to whether Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification in connection with any Proceeding or with respect to
the amount of Expenses incurred, then with respect to each such dispute or
controversy Indemnitee may seek to enforce this Agreement through legal action
or, at Indemnitee's sole option and request, through arbitration. If arbitration
is requested, such dispute or controversy shall be submitted by the parties to
binding arbitration in the Dublin, Ireland, before a single arbitrator agreeable
to both parties. If the parties cannot agree on a designated arbitrator within
fifteen (15) days after arbitration is requested in writing by either of them,
the arbitration shall proceed in the Dublin, Ireland, before an arbitrator
appointed by the be appointed by the International Centre for Dispute
Resolution. In either case, the arbitration proceeding shall commence

services for the Company or Indemnitee at any item during the five (5) years
preceding the commencement of arbitration. The award shall be rendered in such
form that judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. The prevailing party shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement of any
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees)
incurred in connection with such legal action or arbitration provided that
Indemnitee shall not be obligated to reimburse the Company unless the arbitrator
or court which resolves the dispute determines that Indemnitee acted in bad
faith in bringing such action or arbitration.
10.    EXCLUSIONS.

Indemnitee from time to time under any Applicable Document, no indemnification,
reimbursement or payment shall be required of the Company hereunder with respect

the best interests of the Company;

action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company or its affiliate shall
be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of
legal action within such two‑year period; provided, however, that if any shorter

shorter period shall govern.
