	3.1	The Plan is available to Eligible Persons nominated by the Committee. 

  

	3.2	Any Eligible Person may be selected by the Committee to receive an Award and become a Participant. The Committee has the authority, in its discretion, to determine and
designate from time to time those Eligible Persons who are to be granted Awards, the types of Awards to be granted, the number of shares or units subject to Awards to be granted and the terms and conditions of such Awards consistent with the terms
of the Plan. In selecting Eligible Persons to be Participants, and in determining the type and amount of Awards to be granted under the Plan, the Committee shall consider any and all factors that it deems relevant or appropriate. Designation of a
Participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such person to receive an Award in any other year or, once designated, to receive the same type or amount of Award as granted to such Participant in any other year.

  
 7 

	3.3	The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of all Awards granted to Participants in accordance with its authority under these Rules. An Award may consist of
one type of right or benefit hereunder or of two or more such rights or benefits granted in tandem. 

  

	3.4	Each Award granted to an Eligible Person shall be represented by an Award Agreement. The terms of all Awards under the Plan, as determined by the Committee, will be set
forth in individual Award Agreements as described in Rule 22.1 hereof. 

  

	3.5	If required by the Committee, an Award, instead of being made to a Participant, shall be made to a Limited Partnership of which the Participant is a limited partner
having an economic interest in the underlying Award through his interest in the Limited Partnership, in which case the Participant and the relevant Limited Partnership shall be parties to the relevant Award Agreement and references in these Rules to

	3.6	If authorised by the Committee any Award requiring the delivery of Shares to a Participant may be granted by a Trust in respect of Shares held by or to be issued to
such Trust, in which case the Committee shall ensure that the Trust is a party to the applicable Award Agreement as well as the Company or other applicable Participating Company. 

 

	4	Limitation on issue 

  

	4.1	The maximum number of Shares which may be issued to or transferred by a Trust to Participants pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan on any day, when added to the
number of Shares which immediately prior to that day have been issued pursuant to Awards or which have been transferred by a Trust to any Participant, shall not exceed 2,350,399 Shares (the “Share Reserve”). 

  

	4.2	To the extent that an Award granted under this Plan is cancelled, expired, forfeited, surrendered, settled by delivery of fewer Shares than the number underlying the
Award or otherwise terminated without delivery of the shares to the Participant, the Shares retained by or returned to the Company or any Trust will: 

  

	 	(a)	not be deemed to have been delivered under the Plan, and 

  

	 	(b)	be available for future Awards under the Plan. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares that are (i) withheld from an Award in payment of the exercise or purchase price or taxes relating to such an Award or (ii) not issued or delivered as a
result of the net settlement of an outstanding stock or share option or stock or share appreciation right shall be deemed to constitute delivered shares and will not be available for future Awards under the Plan, and will be deducted from the Share
Reserve accordingly. 
  

	4.3	The Committee may from time to time consider increasing the Share Reserve, subject to obtaining all necessary shareholder and other consents. Any such increase shall
not require the approval of any of the Participants in the Plan. 

  

	5	Alterations in Capital 

  

	5.1	 In the event of any alteration taking place in the capital structure of the Company that does not involve receipt of consideration by the Company,
whether by way of capitalisation of 

  
 8 

	 	
profits or reserves or any consolidation or subdivision or reduction of the capital of the Company or otherwise, the number of shares subject to any Award, the exercise price or base price
payable for each of those Shares, the total number of Shares over which Awards may be granted and the definitions of Share and Share Reserve and any other terms of an Award that are affected by the event, may be adjusted in such manner as the
Committee determines to be fair and reasonable provided that: 

  

	 	(a)	the aggregate amount to be subscribed or paid for Shares on exercise or grant of an Award in respect of the total number of Shares subject to an Award shall not be
increased; and 

  

	 	(b)	the exercise price or base price payable for a Share pursuant to an Award shall not be reduced below the nominal value of the Share. 

 

	5.2	In the event of an alteration occurring pursuant to Rule 5.1 the Company shall notify each affected Participant and each Participant shall, if requested by the Company,
enter into an amendment agreement to the applicable Award Agreement which shall reflect any such alterations. 

  

	6	Administration 

  

	6.1	Committee Members 

 The
Plan shall be administered by a Committee comprised of no fewer than two members of the Board. Neither the Company nor any member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith by the Committee with respect to
the Plan or any Award. 
  

	6.2	Committee Authority 

 The
Committee shall have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the power to: 

 

	 	(a)	determine the Eligible Persons to whom Awards shall be granted under the Plan; 

 

	 	(b)	prescribe the restrictions, terms and conditions of all Awards and approve the execution and delivery of any Award Agreements incorporating such restrictions, terms and
conditions; 

  

	 	(c)	specify in an Award Agreement the circumstances (if any) upon which an Award or any part thereof or any Shares or Options issued, transferred or granted pursuant to an
Award are forfeitable; 

  

	 	(d)	determine any Performance Goals or other criteria to be included in any Award Agreement the attainment or achievement of which determines the vesting or exercisability
of some or all of any of Award; 

  

	 	(e)	interpret the Plan and terms of the Awards; 

  

	 	(f)	adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and interpret, amend or revoke any such rules;

  

	 	(g)	make all determinations with respect to a Participant’s Service and the termination of such Service for purposes of any Award; 

  
 9 

	 	(h)	correct any defects or omissions or reconcile any ambiguities or inconsistencies in the Plan or any Award; 

 

	 	(i)	make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; 

 

	 	(j)	decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan; 

 

	 	(k)	subject to the terms of the Plan, amend the terms of an Award in any manner that is not inconsistent with the Plan; 

 

	 	(l)	accelerate the vesting or, to the extent applicable, exercisability of any Award at any time (including, but not limited to, upon a Change in Control or upon
termination of Service under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Award Agreement or otherwise); and 

  

	 	(m)	adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit or facilitate participation in the Plan by Eligible Persons employed or engaged outside of
Ireland. 

 The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by the Committee
selectively among Participants and Eligible Persons, whether or not such persons are similarly situated. The Committee shall, in its discretion, consider such factors as it deems relevant in making its interpretations, determinations and actions
under the Plan including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or employee of the Company or such attorneys, consultants, accountants or other advisors as it may select. All interpretations, determinations, and actions by
the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all parties. 
  

	6.3	Delegation of Authority 

The Committee shall have the right, from time to time, to delegate, to any appropriate officer or employee of the Company, responsibility
for performing certain ministerial functions under the Plan. In the event that the Committee’s authority is delegated to officers or employees in accordance with the foregoing, all provisions of the Plan relating to the Committee shall be
interpreted in a manner consistent with the foregoing by treating any such reference as a reference to such officer or employee for such purpose. Any action undertaken in accordance with the Committee’s delegation of authority hereunder shall
have the same force and effect as if such action was undertaken directly by the Committee and shall be deemed for all purposes of the Plan to have been taken by the Committee. 

 

	7	Options 

  

	7.1	An Option may be granted any to such Eligible Person (or Limited Partnership in which an Eligible Person has an interest) as the Committee may decide any the applicable
Award Agreement for such Option shall: 

  

	 	(a)	specify the consideration payable on grant of such Option (if any), the exercise price applicable to such Option, the dates on which and number of Shares in respect of
which such Option may be exercisable; 

  

	 	(b)	specify any conditions as to vesting or exercisability of such Option determined by the Committee (including without limitation any Performance Goals that may apply to

	7.2	No Option shall be exercisable more than seven years after the date upon which it was granted (unless stated otherwise in the Award Agreement).

  

	7.3	The exercise price per Share of any Option shall not be less than (a) the nominal value of such Option or (b) in the case of any Option granted to a U.S.
taxpayer, one hundred percent (100%) or more Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant (unless stated otherwise in the Award Agreement). 

  

	7.4	Options granted under this Plan shall not be exercisable until they become vested. Any unvested Option or part of an Option which ceases to be capable of achieving the
applicable vesting conditions shall lapse and shall not be capable of exercise. 

  

	7.5	An Option may not be exercised in respect of a fraction of a Share. 

  

	7.6	Except as otherwise determined by the Committee dividend equivalent rights may not be granted with respect to Options. 

 

	8	Procedure on Exercise of Option 

  

	8.1	An Option may, to the extent it has vested, be exercised in whole or in part by notice in writing (in such form as the Committee may specify from time to time or as may
be specified in the applicable Award Agreement) given by the Participant to the Company. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price for
the applicable number of Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised. 

  

	8.2	As soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of such deliverables referred to in Rule 8.1 hereof, the Shares which are the subject of the
applicable exercise notice shall be issued and allotted by the Company, or where applicable transferred by the Trust to the relevant Participant and (i) the Company, shall issue to the Participant a definitive share certificate in respect of
the Shares so issued or transferred (or, at the Company’s option, such Shares may be issued in uncertificated form), and (ii) such shares shall be entered on the register of members of the Company. 

 

	8.3	Payment of the exercise price in respect of any Option may be made: (i) in cash or by cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee, or, to the extent permitted by
the Committee in its sole discretion in an Award Agreement or otherwise (ii) (A) in Shares valued at the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of exercise, (B) through an open-market, broker-assisted sales transaction pursuant
to which the Company is promptly delivered the amount of proceeds necessary to satisfy the exercise price, (C) by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option by the number of shares of Shares having a
Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price (provided that the Participant shall pay an amount equal to the nominal value of the shares allotted to or transferred to him following such reduction) in consideration for such
allotment or transfer, (D) by a combination of the methods described above or (E) by such other method as may be approved by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. 

 

	8.4	Any Shares to be allotted upon exercise of an Option shall rank in all respects pari passu with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment save as regards any rights
attaching to such Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of such allotment, save that an Award Agreement may provide that Shares delivered upon exercise of an Option may be issued or transferred subject to a Restricted Share Award or
may be issued or transferred to a Trust to be held for the benefit of the Participant on such terms, and subject to such conditions and restrictions, as the Committee may in its discretion decide. 

  
 11 

	9	Share Appreciation Rights 

  

	9.1	Share Appreciation Rights may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee. Share Appreciation Rights may be granted on a basis that allows for the
exercise of the right by the Participant or that provides for the automatic payment of the right upon a specified date or event. Share Appreciation Rights shall be non-transferable. 

 

	9.2	A Share Appreciation Right may be granted without any related Option, or may be granted in tandem with an Option, either on the Date of Grant or at any time thereafter
during the term of the Option. The Committee shall in its discretion provide in an Award Agreement the time or times at which or the conditions upon which, a Share Appreciation Right or portion thereof shall become vested and/or exercisable. The
requirements for vesting and exercisability of a Share Appreciation Right may be based on the continued Service of a Participant for a specified time period (or periods), on the attainment of a specified Performance Goal(s) or on such other terms
and conditions as approved by the Committee in its discretion. If the vesting requirements of a Share Appreciation Right are not satisfied, the Award shall be forfeited. A Share Appreciation Right will be exercisable or payable at such time or times
as determined by the Committee; provided, that the maximum term of a Share Appreciation Right shall be seven (7) years from the Date of Grant. The Committee may provide that a Share Appreciation Right will cease to be exercisable upon or at the
end of a period following a termination of Service for any reason. The base price of a Share Appreciation Right granted without any related Option shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion; provided, however, that the base price per
share of any such stand-alone Share Appreciation Right shall not be less than the nominal value of a Share or, in the case of any Share Appreciation Right granted to a U.S. taxpayer, not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market
Value of a Share on the Date of Grant. 

  

	9.3	A Share Appreciation Right will entitle the holder, upon exercise or other payment of the Share Appreciation Right, as applicable, to receive an amount determined by
multiplying: (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise or payment of the Share Appreciation Right over the base price of such Share Appreciation Right, by (ii) the number of Shares as to which such Share
Appreciation Right is exercised or paid. Payment of the amount determined under the foregoing may be made, as approved by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, in Shares valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or
payment, in cash or in a combination of Shares and cash, subject to applicable tax withholding requirements. 

  

	9.4	Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or as set forth in the Award Agreement, dividends may not be paid with respect to Share Appreciation Rights and dividend
equivalent rights may not be granted with respect to the Shares subject to Share Appreciation Rights. 

  

	10	Restricted Share Award 

  

	10.1	A Restricted Share Award may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee. The Committee may require the payment by the Participant of a specified
purchase price in connection with any Restricted Share Award and shall consist of an issue or transfer of Shares to the Participant (or to a Trust to be held for the benefit of the Participant on such terms, and subject to such conditions and
restrictions, as the Committee may in its discretion decide) on grant of the Award for such consideration, if any, as the Committee may determine, subject to restrictions as set out in this Rule 10 and in the applicable Award Agreement.

  
 12 

	10.2	The restrictions imposed on Shares granted under a Restricted Share Award shall lapse in accordance with the vesting requirements specified by the Committee in the
Award Agreement. The requirements for vesting of a Restricted Share Award may be based on the continued Service of the Participant with the Company or a Subsidiary for a specified time period (or periods), on the attainment of a specified
Performance Goal(s) on such other terms and conditions as approved by the Committee in its discretion. If the vesting requirements of a Restricted Share Award are not satisfied or, if applicable, the Performance Goal(s) with respect to such
Restricted Share Award are not attained, the Award shall be forfeited and the Shares subject to the Award shall be forfeited and repurchased to the Company or transferred to a Trust in such manner as is set out in the Award Agreement.

  

	10.3	Shares granted under any Restricted Share Award may not be transferred, assigned or subject to any encumbrance, pledge or charge until all applicable restrictions are
removed or have expired. Failure to satisfy any applicable restrictions shall result in the subject Shares of the Restricted Share Award being forfeited and repurchased by the Company or transferred to a Trust in such manner as is set out in the
Award Agreement. The Committee may require in an Award Agreement that certificates (if any) representing the Shares granted under a Restricted Share Award bear a legend making appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed, and that certificates
(if any) representing the Shares granted or sold under a Restricted Share Award will remain in the physical custody of an escrow holder until all restrictions are removed or have expired. 

 

	10.4	Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Rule 10 and the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the
shares granted to the Participant under a Restricted Share Award, including the right to vote the shares and receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto, unless the Committee determines otherwise at the time the
Restricted Share Award is granted. The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement for the payment of dividends and distributions to the Participant at such times as paid to shareholders generally, at the times of vesting or other payment of the
Restricted Share Award or otherwise. 

  

	11	Restricted Share Unit 

  

	11.1	A Restricted Share Unit may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee. The value of each Restricted Share Unit is equal to the Fair Market Value of
the Shares on the applicable date or time period of determination, as specified by the Committee. Restricted Share Units shall be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall determine. 

 

	11.2	On the Date of Grant, the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine any vesting requirements with respect to Restricted Share Units, which shall be set forth in the
Award Agreement. The requirements for vesting of a Restricted Share Unit may be based on the continued Service of the Participant with the Company or a Subsidiary for a specified time period (or periods), or on such other terms and conditions as
approved by the Committee (including Performance Goal(s)) in its discretion. If the vesting requirements of a Restricted Share Unit Award are not satisfied, the Award shall be forfeited. 

 

	11.3	Restricted Share Units shall become payable to a Participant at the time or times determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, which may be upon or
following the vesting of the Award. Payment of a Restricted Share Unit may be made, as approved by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, in cash or in Shares or in a combination thereof, subject to applicable tax withholding
requirements. Any cash payment of a Restricted Share Unit shall be made based upon the Fair Market Value of the Share, determined on such date or over such time period as determined by the Committee. 

  
 13 

	11.4	Restricted Share Units may be granted together with a dividend equivalent right with respect to the Shares subject to the Award, which may be accumulated and may be
deemed reinvested in additional Restricted Share Units or may be accumulated in cash, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. Dividend equivalent rights will be paid at such times as determined by the Committee in its discretion (including
without limitation at the times paid to shareholders generally or at the times of vesting or payment of the Restricted Share Unit). Dividend equivalent rights may be subject to forfeiture under the same conditions as apply to the underlying
Restricted Share Units. 

  

	11.5	The Participant shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares subject to a Restricted Share Unit until such time as Shares are delivered to the
Participant pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement. 

  

	12	Cash Performance Awards and Performance Criteria 

  

	12.1	A Cash Performance Award may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee. Payment amounts shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of
attainment with respect to the Performance Goals, including, if applicable, specified threshold, target and maximum performance levels. The requirements for payment also may be based upon the continued Service of the Participant with the Company or
a Subsidiary during the respective performance period and on such other conditions as determined by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement. Cash Performance Awards shall be non-transferable, except as provided in Rule 17 hereof.

  

	12.2	Each Cash Performance Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the performance period and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in
its discretion, shall determine. The Performance Goals for the Cash Performance Award shall be set out in the Award Agreement and shall be expressed as an objective formula or standard that precludes discretion to increase the amount of compensation
payable that would otherwise be due upon attainment of the goal. The Performance Goals may be applied on an absolute basis or relative to an identified index, peer group, or one or more competitors or other companies (including particular business
segments or divisions or such companies), as specified by the Committee. The Performance Goals need not be the same for all Participants. 

  

	12.3	The Committee may accelerate the vesting of a Cash Performance Award upon a Change in Control or termination of Service under certain circumstances, as set forth in the
Award Agreement. 

  

	12.4	At the time that an Award is granted, the Committee may provide for the Performance Goals or the manner in which performance will be measured against the Performance
Goals to be adjusted in such objective manner as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, adjustments to reflect charges for restructurings, non-operating income, the impact of corporate transactions or discontinued operations,
extraordinary and other unusual or non-recurring items and the cumulative effects of accounting or tax law changes. In addition, with respect to a Participant hired or promoted following the beginning of a performance period, the Committee may
determine to prorate the Performance Goals and/or the amount of any payment in respect of such Participant’s Cash Performance Awards for the partial performance period. 

 

	12.5	 Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall, to the extent provided in an Award Agreement, have the right,
in its discretion, (i) to reduce or eliminate the amount otherwise payable to any Participant under an Award and (ii) to establish rules or procedures that have the effect of limiting the amount payable to any Participant to an amount that
is less than the amount that otherwise would be payable under 

  
 14 

	 	
an Award. The Committee may exercise such discretion in a non-uniform manner among Participants. The Committee shall not have discretion to increase the amount that otherwise would be payable to
any Participant under a Cash Performance Award. 

  

	12.6	Following the conclusion of the performance period of a Cash Performance, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the Performance Goals for that performance
period have been achieved, or certify the degree of achievement, if applicable. 

  

	12.7	Upon certification of the Performance Goals for a Cash Performance Award, the Committee shall determine the level of vesting or amount of payment to the Participant
pursuant to the Award, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cash Performance Awards may be paid, at the discretion of the Committee, in any combination of cash or Shares, based upon the Fair Market Value of such shares at the time of payment.

  

	13	Share Award 

  

	13.1	A Share Award may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee. A Share Award may be granted for past Services, in lieu of bonus or other cash
compensation, as directors’ compensation or for any other valid purpose as determined by the Committee. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, and such Awards may be made without vesting requirements. In
addition, the Committee may, in connection with any Share Award, require the payment of a specified purchase price. 

  

	13.2	Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Rule 13 and the applicable Award Agreement, upon the issuance of the Share under a Share Award the Participant shall have
all rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares, including the right to vote the shares and receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto. 

 

	14	Cessation of Service 

Under no circumstances shall a Participant, on ceasing to be employed by any Participating Company or holding office as an Executive
Director or Non-Executive Consultant of any Participating Company, be entitled to any compensation for any loss of any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under the Plan which he might otherwise have enjoyed whether such compensation is
claimed by way of damages for wrongful dismissal or other breach of contract or by way of compensation for loss of office or otherwise howsoever. 
  

	15	Amendments 

 The Company
may at any time by resolution of the Board vary, amend or revoke any of the provisions of the Plan in such manner as the Board may consider necessary provided that: 
  

	 	(a)	The purpose of the Plan shall not be altered; 

  

	 	(b)	No such variation amendment or revocation shall increase the amount payable by any Participant or otherwise impose obligations which are materially more onerous on any
Participant in respect of an Award which has already been granted without the consent in writing of such Participant; and 

  

	 	(c)	no such variation amendment or revocation shall be made without shareholder approval if (i) such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory
requirement applicable to the Plan, (ii) such amendment increases the number of Shares available under the Plan (other than increases permitted under Rule 5), or (iii) such amendment results in a change in eligibility requirements under
the Plan. Shareholder approval shall not be required for any other amendment of the Plan. 

  
 15 

	16	Share Capital 

 The
Company shall ensure that its authorised but unissued share capital consists of sufficient Shares to enable it to discharge its obligations under the Plan and shall take all steps as may be necessary (including procuring the passing of any
resolutions of the Company) to ensure that the directors of the Company shall, at all material times, be generally and unconditionally authorised to allot and issue Shares to Participants in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and the
Company’s memorandum and articles of association. 
  

	17	Assignment 

 Save as
determined by the Committee, the rights of the Participants under this Plan shall be deemed personal and shall not be capable of being assigned, transferred, sold, mortgaged, pledged or encumbered in any way whatsoever by a Participant. If
determined by the Committee, an Award Agreement may permit, or may be amended to permit, the assignment of any vested Options or Shares which are the subject of an Award, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may require. Any
personal representative(s) of any Participant in whom Shares issued or transferred on grant or exercise of an Award vest (or in whom rights in respect of Awards vest following the death of a Participant) shall be bound by the terms of the Plan.

  

	18	Payroll Withholding Taxes 

If, in consequence of the grant, vesting, exercise, assignment or release of an Award, or the acquisition or disposal of any Shares
pursuant to an Award, the Company and/or any Participating Company has any obligation to account to the relevant authorities for any liability to tax, employee’s PRSI, employer’s PRSI, universal social charge, health contribution, national
insurance, social security contributions or duties of any kind (or any similar or analogous tax in any other jurisdiction) (a “Tax Liability”), the Participant shall indemnify and hold the Company and any other applicable
Participating Company harmless in respect of any such Tax Liability and the Company or other applicable Participating Company shall be authorised to make such arrangements as it considers necessary or appropriate to obtain the relevant sum of money
from the Participant, to the extent permitted by law, and this shall include the authority to make a deduction or deductions from the basic salary of the Participant or any other sums due to the Participant or to procure the sale of Shares to be
issued to transferred to the Participant on exercise or grant of an Award and the application of any consideration payable on such a sale of Shares in discharging any Tax Liability. 

 

	19	Change In Control 

  

	19.1	In the event of a Change in Control, or if the Committee considers any of such events may occur, the Committee shall be entitled (without the Participant’s consent
unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement) at its discretion and notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Plan: 

  

	 	(a)	to request any Participants to exercise all outstanding Awards held in relation to the whole or a specified portion of the Shares to which such Awards relate and in
respect of which such Awards have vested and are exercisable and within such time or times and subject to any other conditions or limitations as the Committee may at its discretion determine (including conditions that such exercise be conditional on
the Change in Control being effected). If a Participant does not comply with any such request such Award shall lapse and cease to be exercisable upon the expiry of the time specified for exercise by the Committee; 

 

	 	(b)	to accelerate payment of any cash Awards; 

  
 16 

	 	(c)	to agree that outstanding Awards will be substituted by the surviving company or its Parent (or the acquiring company or its parent where a takeover or other
acquisition occurs) for awards which are at the date of the Change in Control equivalent in value and on substantially the same terms as to the Awards originally granted under the Plan (as determined by the Committee); 

 

	 	(d)	to arrange for the continuation by the Company of outstanding Awards (if the Company is a surviving company or an acquiring company in a takeover or acquisition);

  

	 	(e)	to make payment of a cash settlement to any Participant of an amount per Share to which the relevant Participant’s Award refers equal to or in excess of the
difference between the amount to be paid for one Share under the terms of the Change in Control and the exercise price applicable to such Participant’s Award (less any taxes, duties, levies or other charges required to be withheld);

  

	 	(f)	to agree to accelerate the vesting and exercisability of any outstanding Awards; 

 

	 	(g)	to cancel (whether selectively or otherwise) any Awards which have not vested at the time of the Relevant Event; and/or 

 

	 	(h)	to otherwise vary the exercise of outstanding Awards on such conditions as the Committee may decide. 

and the Committee may determine that any one or any combination of the above shall apply. 

 

	19.2	The Company may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for Awards held by employees of another company or corporation who become employees of the Company, or any
Participating Company as a result of a merger or consolidation of the employing company or corporation with the Company or any Participating Company, or as a result of the acquisition by the Company, or any Participating Company of property or
shares of the employing company or corporation. The Company may direct that substitute Awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in such circumstances. 

 

	20	Forfeiture Events. 

  

	20.1	The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement at the time of the Award that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be
subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited
to, termination of Service for Cause, violation of material Company policies, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the
business or reputation of the Company. 

  

	20.2	 Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement, if (i) a Participant’s Service with the Company or any
Subsidiary shall be terminated for Cause or (ii) after termination of Service for any other reason, the Committee determines in its discretion either that, (1) during the Participant’s period of Service, the Participant engaged in an
act which would have warranted termination of Service for Cause or (2) after termination, the Participant engaged in conduct that violates any continuing obligation or duty of the Participant in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary, such
Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to cancellation, forfeiture and/or recoupment, as provided in Rule 20.3 below. The Company shall have the power to determine whether the Participant has been
terminated for Cause, the date upon which such 

  
 17 

	 	
termination for Cause occurs, whether the Participant engaged in an act which would have warranted termination from Service for Cause or engaged in conduct that violates any continuing obligation
or duty of the Participant in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary. Any such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Persons. In addition, if the Company shall reasonably determine that a Participant has committed or may
have committed any act which could constitute the basis for a termination of such Participant’s Service for Cause or violates any continuing obligation or duty of the Participant in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Company may
suspend the Participant’s rights to exercise any Option or Share Appreciation Right, receive any payment or vest in any right with respect to any Award pending a determination by the Company of whether an act or omission could constitute the
basis for a termination for Cause as provided in this Rule 20.2. 

  

	20.3	Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement, if at any time within one (1) year (or such longer time specified in an Award
Agreement or other agreement with a Participant) after the date on which a Participant exercises an Option or Share Appreciation Right or on which a Share Award, Restricted Share Award or Restricted Share Units vests or becomes payable or on which a
Cash Performance Award is paid to a Participant, or on which income otherwise is realized by a Participant in connection with an Award, (i) a Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause or (ii) after a Participant’s Service
otherwise terminates for any other reason, the Committee determines in its discretion either that, (1) during the Participant’s period of Service, the Participant engaged in an act or omission which would have warranted termination from
Service for Cause or (2) after termination, the Participant engaged in conduct that violated any continuing obligation or duty of the Participant in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary, then any gain realized by the Participant from the
exercise, vesting, payment or other realization of income by the Participant in connection with an Award, shall be paid by the Participant to the Company upon notice from the Company, subject to applicable law. Such gain shall be determined as of
the date or dates on which the gain is realized by the Participant, without regard to any subsequent change in the Fair Market Value of a Share. To the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, the Company shall have the right to offset such gain
against any amounts otherwise owed to the Participant by the Company (whether as wages, vacation pay or pursuant to any benefit plan or other compensatory arrangement). 

 

	20.4	If a Participant receives compensation pursuant to an Award under the Plan (whether an Option, Cash Performance Award or otherwise) based on financial statements that
are subsequently required to be restated in a way that would decrease the value of such compensation, the Participant will, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, upon the written request of the Company, forfeit and repay to the Company the
difference between what the Participant received and what the Participant should have received based on the accounting restatement, in accordance with (i) the Company’s compensation recovery, “clawback” or similar policy, as may
be in effect from time to time and (ii) any compensation recovery, “clawback” or similar policy made applicable by law including the provisions of Section 945 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of
the United States of America and the rules, regulations and requirements adopted thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s equity securities may be listed (the
“Policy”). By accepting an Award hereunder, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Policy shall apply to such Award, and all incentive-based compensation payable pursuant to such Award shall be subject to forfeiture and
repayment pursuant to the terms of the Policy. 

  
 18 

	21	Termination 

  

	21.1	The Plan may be terminated at any time by a resolution of the Board. 

  

	21.2	As from any termination of the Plan under Rule 21.1, the Company shall not grant any further Awards but no such termination shall affect or modify any subsisting rights
or obligations of the Participants in respect of any Awards and notwithstanding such termination the Company shall continue to do and perform such acts in accordance with the provisions hereof as are necessary for or incidental to the administration
and management of outstanding rights and obligations which arose under or by virtue of the Plan. 

  

	22	Miscellaneous 

  

	22.1	To the extent deemed necessary by the Committee, an Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in a written or electronic form approved by the
Committee setting forth the number of Shares or Restricted Share Units subject to the Award, the exercise price, base price or purchase price of the Award, the time or times at which an Award will become vested, exercisable, payable or forfeited and
any terms in respect of such forfeiture and the term of the Award. The Award Agreement also may set forth the effect on an Award of a Change in Control or a termination of Service under certain circumstances. The Award Agreement shall be subject to
and incorporate, by reference or otherwise, all of the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan, and also may set forth other terms and conditions applicable to the Award as determined by the Committee consistent with the limitations of the Plan.
The grant of an Award under the Plan shall not confer any rights upon the Participant holding such Award other than such terms, and subject to such conditions, as are specified in the Plan as being applicable to such type of Award (or to all Awards)
or as are expressly set forth in the Award Agreement. The Committee need not require the execution of an Award Agreement by a Participant, in which case, acceptance of the Award by the Participant shall constitute agreement by the Participant to the
terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations set forth in the Plan and the Award Agreement as well as the administrative guidelines of the Company in effect from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and
any Award Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail. 

  

	22.2	Participation in the Plan by a Participant is a matter entirely separate from, and shall not affect, his pension rights and terms of employment or office and, in
particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing), if a Participant shall cease for any reason to be employed or hold office in a Participating Company (including by reason of a termination by the Participating Company in breach
of its contract) he shall not be entitled by way of compensation for loss of otherwise howsoever, to any sum or benefit to compensate him for the loss of any right or benefit under the Plan. 

 

	22.3	Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to such Company’s insider-trading-policy-related restrictions, terms and conditions to the extent
established by the Committee, or in accordance with policies set by the Committee, from time to time. 

  

	22.4	Any notice or other communication under or in connection with the Plan may be given in writing by personal delivery or by sending the same by post, in the case of a
company to its registered office for the attention of the company secretary, and in the case of an individual to his last known address, and where a notice or other communication is given by post, it shall be deemed to have been received 48 hours
after it was put into the post properly addressed and stamped. 

  

	22.5	These Rules and the Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland. 

 

	22.6	In the event of a dispute or disagreement as to the interpretation of the Rules or as to any question or right arising from or related to the Plan, the decision of the
Committee shall be final and binding. 

  
 19 

	22.7	The Company shall bear the costs of setting up and administering the Plan. 

 

	22.8	The Company shall maintain all necessary books of account and records relating to the Plan. 

 

	22.9	The Participant shall be responsible for obtaining any governmental or other official consent that may be required by any country or jurisdiction in order to permit the
exercise of Options by him. The Company shall not be responsible for any failure by the Participant to obtain any such consent or for any tax or other liability to which the Participant may become subject as a result of the grant or exercise of
Options hereunder.
