  RECITALS

   

  WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Definitive Healthcare Corp. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Plan; and

  WHEREAS, the Committee has authorized and approved the grant of an Award to the Participant that will provide the Participant the opportunity to receive shares of Common Stock upon the settlement of restricted stock units on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement (“Restricted Stock Units”). 

  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

  1.Grant of Award.  The Company hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the Date of Grant, [●] Restricted Stock Units on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. 

   

  2.Vesting and Forfeiture.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows:

   

  [                              ]

   

  (c)	Termination of Service; Breach. Except as set forth in Section 11.3 of the Plan which shall apply upon termination of the Participant’s service without Cause or for Good Reason (as defined in the Participant’s then-current employment agreement with the Company or its Affiliate, if any; if no such agreement or no such definition, Good Reason shall not apply), upon termination of the Participant’s Service for any other reason or no reason, any then unvested Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration.  If the Participant breaches Section 4, Section 5, or any other restrictive covenant with the 

   

   

  

   

   

  Company or its Affiliate, any vested or unvested Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration. 

   

  3.Payment

   

  (a)Settlement. The Company shall deliver to the Participant within thirty (30) days following each Vesting Date or vesting date under Section 11.3 of the Plan and 2(c) of the Agreement, as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that vested pursuant to Section 2 on such date. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, but shall be delayed until a full share has vested. The Company may deliver such shares either through book entry accounts held by, or in the name of, the Participant or cause to be issued a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares to be issued in respect of the Restricted Stock Units, registered in the name of the Participant.

   

  (b)Withholding Requirements. Unless the Committee determines to require or permit the Participant to satisfy the withholding requirements set forth in this Section 3(b) in any other manner allowed by Section 14 of the Plan, the Company shall automatically withhold cash or shares of Common Stock that are otherwise deliverable to the Participant under this Agreement, in an amount necessary to satisfy all federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld in connection with the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. 

   

  4.Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of the Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information

   

  (a)At all times during and following Participant’s Service, Participant agrees that he or she will not, either directly or indirectly, and Participant will not permit any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant to, either directly or indirectly, (i) divulge, use, disclose (in any way or in any manner, including by posting on the Internet), reproduce, distribute, or reverse engineer or otherwise provide the Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, reporter, author, producer or similar person or entity; (ii) take any action that would make available Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to the general public in any form; (iii) take any action that uses Trade Secrets or Confidential Information to solicit any client or prospective client of the Company; or (iv) take any action that uses Trade Secrets or Confidential Information for 

  2

   

   

  

   

   

  solicitation or marketing for any service or product or on Participant’s behalf or on behalf of any entity other than the Company with which Participant may become associated, except (i) as required in connection with the performance of such Participant’s duties to the Company, (ii) as required to be included in any report, statement or testimony requested by any municipal, state or national regulatory body having jurisdiction over Participant or any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant, (iii) as required in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) to the extent necessary in order to comply with any law, order, regulation, ruling or governmental request applicable to Participant or any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant, (v) as required in connection with an audit by any taxing authority, or (vi) as permitted by the express written consent of the Board. In the event that Participant or any such Covered Entity which is Controlled by Participant is required to disclose Trade Secrets or Confidential Information pursuant to the foregoing exceptions, Participant shall promptly notify the Company of such pending disclosure and assist the Company (at the Company’s expense) in seeking a protective order or in objecting to such request, summons or subpoena with regard to the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information. If the Company does not obtain such relief after a period that is reasonable under the circumstances, Participant (or such Covered Entity) may disclose that portion of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information which counsel to such party advises such party that they are legally compelled to disclose. In such cases, Participant shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information so disclosed. This provision applies without limitation to unauthorized use of Trade Secrets or Confidential Information in any medium, writings of any kind containing such information or materials, including books, and articles, blogs, websites, or writings of any other kind, or film, videotape, or audiotape. If, and only if, the controlling state law applicable to Participant requires a time limit to be placed on restrictions concerning the post-employment use of Confidential Information for the restriction to be enforceable, then this restriction on Participant’s use of Confidential Information that is not a Trade Secret will expire two (2) years after Participant’s employment or other association with the Company ends. This time limit will not apply to Confidential Information that qualifies as a Trade Secret. The Company’s trade secrets will remain protected for as long as they qualify as trade secrets under applicable law. 

   

  (b)Notwithstanding Participant’s confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 4, Participant understands that, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Participant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a Trade Secret that: (i) is made (x) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Participant understands that in the event it is determined that disclosure of the Trade 

  3

   

   

  

   

   

  Secrets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates was not done in good faith pursuant to the above, Participant shall be subject to substantial damages under federal criminal and civil law, including punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.

   

  (c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or interfere with Participant’s right, without notice to or authorization of the Company, to communicate and cooperate in good faith with a Government Agency for the purpose of (i) reporting a possible violation of any U.S. federal, state, or local law or regulation, (ii) participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted or managed by any Government Agency, including by providing documents or other information, or (iii) filing a charge or complaint with a Government Agency. For purposes of this Agreement, “Government Agency” means the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or any other self-regulatory organization or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission.

   

  5.Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the Restricted Stock Units granted which Participant and the Company agree is mutually agreed upon consideration, during the term of Participant’s Service and for 12 months following the termination of Participant’s Service (the “Restricted Period”):

   

  (a)Participant will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or an Participant, officer, director, manager, stockholder, partner, member or other owner or participant in any business entity (including, without limitation, any competitor of the Company), other than the Company, engage in or assist any other person or entity to engage in any business which competes with any business in which the Company is engaging or the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company (a “Competing Business”), during the Participant’s employment, anywhere in the United States or anywhere else in the world in which Participant provided services for the Company or had a material presence or influence, during any time within the last two years prior to the termination of Participant’s service to the Company.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant’s (x) discretionary ownership of less than three percent (3%) and (y) non-discretionary (for example through a mutual fund or other investment vehicle not controlled by Participant) ownership of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 5(a);

   

  4

   

   

  

   

   

  (b)the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or an Participant, officer, director, manager, stockholder, partner, member or other owner or participant in any business entity solicit or endeavor to entice away from the Company, endeavor to reduce the amount of business conducted with the Company by or otherwise interfere with the business relationship of the Company with any person or entity who is, or was within the one-year period immediately prior thereto, a customer or client of, supplier, vendor or service provider to, or other party having business relations with the Company; and

   

  (c)the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a consultant to, or an Participant, officer, director, manager, stockholder, partner, member or other owner or participant in any business entity solicit or endeavor to entice away from the Company, or offer employment or any consulting arrangement to, or otherwise interfere with the business relationship of the Company with any person or entity who is, or was within the one-year period immediately prior thereto, employed by, associated with or a consultant to the Company.

   

  6.Enforcement; Remedies. Participant acknowledges that Participant’s expertise in the business of the Company is of a special and unique character which gives this expertise a particular value, and that a breach of Sections 4 or 5 by Participant will cause serious and potentially irreparable harm to the Company. Participant therefore acknowledges that a breach of Sections 4 or 5 by Participant cannot be adequately compensated in an action for damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company from a violation of this Agreement and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent. By reason thereof, Participant acknowledges that the Company is entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement. Participant acknowledges, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy may be construed as a waiver of or prohibition against the Company pursuing other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Participant. For purposes of Sections 4 and 5, “Company” shall specifically include the Company and its direct and indirect parent entities, subsidiaries, successors and assigns. If Participant fails to comply with a restriction in this Agreement that applies for a limited period of time after employment, the time period for that restriction will be extended by the greater of either: one day for each day Participant is found to have violated the restriction, or the length of the legal proceeding necessary to secure enforcement of the restriction; provided, however, that this extension of time shall be capped so that the extension of time does not exceed two years from the date their employment ended, and if this extension would make the restriction unenforceable under applicable law it will not be applied (“Fairness Extension”). If Participant resides or works in Massachusetts, the Fairness Extension will only apply to the restrictions in Section 5(b) and (c) and will only apply to the non-competition restriction in Section 5(a) if Participant 

  5

   

   

  

   

   

  breaches their fiduciary duty and/or has unlawfully taken, physically or electronically, any Company records.

This Section 8(i) shall not apply to employees residing in Massachusetts, and for those employees the Agreement will be governed by Massachusetts law.

  (j)Other Restrictive Covenants.  Notwithstanding any other language in the Agreement, this Agreement does not preclude the enforceability of any restrictive covenant provision contained in any prior or subsequent agreement entered into by the Participant (any such covenant, an “Other Covenant”).  Further, no Other Covenant precludes the enforceability of any provision contained in this Agreement. No subsequent agreement entered into by the Participant may amend, supersede, or override the covenants contained herein unless such subsequent agreement specifically references Section 5 of this Agreement.

Further, if the Optionee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the  Optionee acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (or former employer, as applicable)  may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.  

 

  -5-     Internal Use Only  Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee agrees to  make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax- Related Items.    In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and the Employer, or their respective  agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations or rights with regard  to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:   1. requiring the Optionee to make a payment in a form acceptable to the Company; or  2. withholding from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation payable to the  Optionee; or  3. withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired at exercise of the Option either  through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the  Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or  4. withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Option, provided, however, that  if the Optionee is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the  Committee (as constituted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) shall  establish the method of withholding from alternatives (1)-(3) herein and, if the Committee  does not exercise its discretion prior to the Tax-Related Items withholding event, then the  Optionee shall be entitled to elect the method of withholding from the alternatives above.    The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory or  other withholding rates, including minimum or maximum rates applicable in the Optionee’s  jurisdiction(s).  In the event of over-withholding, the Optionee may receive a refund of any over- withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares), or if not refunded, the  Optionee may seek a refund from the local tax authorities.  In the event of under-withholding, the  Optionee may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax  authority or to the Company and/or the Employer.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is  satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Optionee will be deemed to have been  issued the full number of Shares subject to the Option, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares  is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of  Shares, if the Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax- Related Items.    (c)   Holding Period.   If and when (i) the Optionee is an Officer (as defined in Rule  16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act), and (ii) the Optionee does not hold Shares with a value sufficient  to satisfy the applicable stock ownership guidelines of the Company in place at that time, then the  Optionee must retain at least 50% of the Shares acquired by the Optionee as a result of any exercise  of this Option (excluding from the calculation any Shares withheld, sold, cancelled, or otherwise  forfeited by the Optionee for purposes of satisfying the exercise price and tax obligations in  connection with the exercise of the Option) until such time as the value of the Shares remaining in  the Optionee’s possession following any sale, assignment, pledge, exchange, gift or other transfer  of the Shares acquired by the Optionee as a result of the exercise of this Option shall be sufficient  

 

  -6-     Internal Use Only  to meet any applicable stock ownership guidelines of the Company in place at that time.  For the  avoidance of doubt, at any time when the Optionee holds, in the aggregate, Shares with a value  sufficient to satisfy the applicable stock ownership guidelines of the Company in place at that time,  the Optionee may enter into a transaction with respect to any Shares acquired by the Optionee as  a result of the exercise of the Option without regard to the holding period requirement contained  in this Section 5(e) so long as the Optionee shall continue to satisfy such stock ownership  guidelines following such transaction.    (d)   Rights as a Stockholder.  Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s transferee or  representative shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect  of any Shares deliverable hereunder, unless and until the Option has been exercised and Share  certificates have been issued to the Optionee, transferee or representative, as the case may be.   After such recordation and delivery, the Optionee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the  Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such  Shares.      (e)   Ratification of Actions.  By accepting this Agreement, the Optionee and each  person claiming under or through the Optionee shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated the  Optionee’s acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan or this  Agreement and Notice by the Company, the Board, or the Committee.

Notices shall be addressed to the Company at its  principal executive office and to the Optionee at the address that he or she most recently provided  in writing to the Company.    (g)   Choice of Law and Venue.  This Agreement and the Notice shall be governed by,  and construed in accordance with, the laws of Delaware, without regard to any conflicts of law or  choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise cause the Plan, this Agreement or the Notice  to be governed by or construed in accordance with the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  Any  action regarding this Agreement or its enforcement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of  the courts of Florida and shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Middle District  of Florida, or in the Circuit Court of the State of Florida, Duval County.    (h)   Modification or Amendment.  This Agreement may only be modified or amended  by written agreement executed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that the adjustments  permitted pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan may be made without such written agreement.    (i)   Severability.  In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or  invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this  Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid  provision had not been included.    

 

  -7-     Internal Use Only  (j)   References to Plan.  All references to the Plan (or to a Section or Article of the  Plan) shall be deemed references to the Plan (or the Section or Article) as may be amended from  time to time.    (k)   No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or  financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the  Plan, or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  The Optionee acknowledges  that he or she should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors  regarding participation in the Plan and grant of the Option.    (l)   Electronic Delivery and Participation.  The Company may, in its sole discretion,  decide to deliver any documents related to the Option or the Plan by electronic means or request  the Optionee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Optionee hereby  consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan  through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third  party designated by the Company.    (m)   Appendices.  Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Option shall  be subject to any additional terms and conditions set forth in any Appendix to this Agreement.   Moreover, if the Optionee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix B to this  Agreement, the additional terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Optionee, to the  extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or  advisable for legal or administrative reasons.  Appendix A and Appendix B constitute part of this  Agreement.    (n)   Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to impose  other requirements on the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on the Option and on any Shares  acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal  or administrative reasons, and to require the Optionee to sign any additional agreements or  undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.    (o)   Waiver.  The Optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of  any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other  provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Optionee or any other Optionee.     (p)   Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws.  By accepting the Option, the  Optionee acknowledges that he or she is bound by all the terms and conditions of the Company’s  insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time.  The Optionee further acknowledges  that, depending on the Optionee’s or his or her broker’s country or the country in which the Shares  are listed, he or she may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which  may affect the Optionee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to  Shares (e.g., the Option) or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times as the Optionee  is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the  applicable jurisdictions).  Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation  or amendment of orders the Optionee placed before the Optionee possessed inside information.   Furthermore, the Optionee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any  third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them  

 

  -8-     Internal Use Only  otherwise to buy or sell securities.  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate  from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s insider trading  policy as may be in effect from time to time.  The Optionee acknowledges that it is his or her  responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Optionee should speak to his or  her personal advisor on this matter.    (q)   Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons.  Notwithstanding any other  provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if the Optionee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange  Act, then the Plan, the Option and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set  forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any  amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such  exemptive rule.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Agreement shall be deemed  amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.    (r)   No Guarantee of Continued Service.  THE OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES  AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE OPTION PURSUANT TO THE NOTICE AND  THIS AGREEMENT ARE EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A DIRECTOR,  EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT (EACH A “SERVICE PROVIDER”) AT THE WILL OF THE  COMPANY (OR THE SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING THE OPTIONEE) AND  NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR  ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER.  THE OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES  AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED  HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING OF THE OPTION SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT  CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS  A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR ANY PERIOD OF RESTRICTION, FOR ANY OTHER  PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH THE  OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE SUBSIDIARY  EMPLOYING OR RETAINING THE OPTIONEE) TO TERMINATE THE OPTIONEE’S  RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.    (s)   Successors and Assigns.  The Company may assign any of its rights under this  Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the  successors and assigns of the Company.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Optionee and  his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, as applicable.    

 

  -1-     Internal Use Only  APPENDIX A  TO  GLOBAL STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT    ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR OPTIONEES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES    Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Appendix A but defined in the Agreement or Plan  shall have the same definitions as in the Agreement or Plan.    (a)   Nature of Grant.  By accepting the grant of the Option, the Optionee  acknowledges, understands and agrees that:    (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in  nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent  permitted by the Plan;    (ii) the grant of the Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does  not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of  options, even if options have been granted in the past;    (iii) all decisions with respect to future option or other grants, if any, will be at  the sole discretion of the Company;    (iv) the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;    (v) the Option and any Shares subject to the Option, and the income from and  value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;    (vi) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Option and the Shares  subject to the Option, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for,  or in connection with, the service the Optionee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary;    (vii) the Option and any Shares subject to the Option, and the income from and  value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without  limitation to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of- service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, leave-related pay, pension or  retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;    (viii) the future value of the Shares underlying the Option is unknown,  indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;    (ix) if the Shares subject to the Option do not increase in value, the Option will  have no value;    (x) if the Optionee exercises the Option and acquires Shares, the value of such  Shares may increase or decrease, even below the Exercise Price;  

 

  -2-     Internal Use Only    (xi) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from  forfeiture of the Option resulting from the termination of the Optionee’s status as an employee or  service provider (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach  of labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is providing service or the terms of the  Optionee’s employment or other service agreement, if any);    (xii) for purposes of this Option, the Optionee’s employment or service will be  considered terminated as of the date the Optionee is no longer actively providing services to the  Company or one of its Subsidiaries (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or  not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws in the jurisdiction where the  Optionee is employed or otherwise rendering services or the terms of the Optionee’s employment  or other service agreement, if any).  Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the Optionee’s  right to vest in this Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date.  The termination  of the Optionee’s employment or service will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the  Optionee’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of  “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment or other laws in the jurisdiction  where the Optionee is employed or providing services or the terms of the Optionee’s employment  or service agreement, if any).  The Committee has the exclusive discretion to determine when the  Optionee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of this Option (including whether  the Optionee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).  Any  portion of this Option that are not vested on the termination of the Optionee’s employment or  service shall expire immediately;    (xiii) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion,  the Option and the benefits evidenced by the Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the  Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged,  cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares;  and    (xiv) neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable  for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the U.S. dollar  that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to the Optionee pursuant to the  exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option.    (b)   Data Privacy.    (i) General.  The Company is located at 5335 Gate Parkway, Jacksonville,  Florida 32256, USA, and grants Options under the Plan to employees and directors of the  Company and its Subsidiaries in its sole discretion.  In conjunction with the Company’s grant  of Options under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such Options, the Company is  providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices.   By accepting this grant of the Option, the Optionee expressly and explicitly consents to the  personal data activities as described herein.    (ii) Data Collection, Processing and Usage.  The Company and the Employer  will collect, process and use certain personal information about the Optionee, specifically, the  

 

  -3-     Internal Use Only  Optionee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social  security or insurance number, passport number or other identification number, salary,  nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or  any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding  in the Optionee’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and  managing the Plan.  The Optionee’s Data also may be disclosed to certain securities or other  regulatory authorities where the Company’s securities are listed or traded or regulatory filings  are made.  The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and use of the Optionee’s  Data is the Optionee’s consent.    (iii) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers.  The Company and the  Employer transfer the Optionee’s Data to Fidelity Investments or any of its successor or other  third party service provider based in the United States of America and engaged by the Company  to assist with the implementation, administration and management of Options granted under  the Plan (collectively, the “Stock Plan Administrator”).  In the future, the Company may select  a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Optionee’s Data with another company that  serves in a similar manner.  The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Optionee  to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan.  The Optionee will be asked to agree to  separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a  condition of the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.     (iv) International Data Transfers.  The Company and the Stock Plan  Administrator are based in the United States of America.  The Optionee should note that the  Optionee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the  United States of America.  The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Optionee’s Data to  the United States of America is the Optionee’s consent.    (v) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent, Denial or Withdrawal.  The  Optionee’s participation in the Plan and the Optionee’s grant of consent hereunder is purely  voluntary.  The Optionee may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time.  If the Optionee  does not consent, or if the Optionee later withdraws his or her consent, the Optionee may be  unable to participate in the Plan.  This would not affect the Optionee’s existing employment or  salary; instead, the Optionee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with participation  in the Plan.    (vi) Data Retention.  The Optionee understands that the Optionee’s Data will  be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s  participation in the Plan.  When the Company no longer needs the Optionee’s Data, the  Company will remove it from its systems.  If the Company retains the Optionee’s Data longer, it  would be to satisfy the Company’s legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis  would be for compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.    (vii) Data Subject Rights.  The Optionee understands that the Optionee may  have the right under applicable law to (i) access or copy the Optionee’s Data that the Company  possesses, (ii) rectify incorrect Data concerning the Optionee, (iii) delete the Optionee’s Data,  (iv) restrict processing of the Optionee’s Data, or (v) lodge complaints with the competent  supervisory authorities in the Optionee’s country of residence.  To receive clarification  

 

  -4-     Internal Use Only  regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Optionee understands that the Optionee  can contact his or her local human resources.  The Company will process the Optionee’s  requests related to these rights as the law allows, which means in some cases there may be legal  or other official reasons that Company may not be able to address the specific request related to  the Optionee’s rights to protect the Optionee’s privacy.  The Company will take steps to verify  the Optionee identity before fulfilling any such request.    (c)   Language.  The Optionee acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in  the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in the English  language, so as to enable the Optionee to understand the provisions of this Agreement and the  Plan. If the Optionee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan  translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is  different than the English version, the English version will control.    (d)   Conformity to Applicable Law.  The Optionee acknowledges that the Plan and  this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of Applicable  Law.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the  Option is granted, only in such a manner as to conform to Applicable Law.  To the extent permitted  by Applicable Law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary  to conform to such Applicable Law.    (e)   Exchange Control, Foreign Asset/Account and/or Tax Reporting.  Depending  upon the country to which laws the Optionee is subject, he or she may have certain exchange  control, foreign asset/account and/or tax reporting requirements that may affect his or her ability  to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including  from any dividends or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account  outside his or her country of residence.  The Optionee may be required to report such accounts,  assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in his or her country.  The Optionee also may be  required to repatriate cash received from participating in the Plan to his or her country within a  certain period of time after receipt.  The Optionee is responsible for knowledge of and compliance  with any such regulations and should speak with his or her personal tax, legal and financial  advisors regarding same. 

 

  -1-     Internal Use Only  APPENDIX B  TO  GLOBAL STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT    COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TERMS FOR OPTIONEES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES    Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix B shall have the same meanings assigned  to them in the Plan and/or the Global Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”).    Terms and Conditions    This Appendix B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to the  Optionee under the Plan if the Optionee works and/or resides in one of the countries listed below.      If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is  currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or if the  Optionee transfers employment and/or residency to a different country after the Option is granted,  the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the additional terms and  conditions contained herein shall apply to the Optionee.    Notifications    This Appendix B also includes information regarding securities, exchange control, income tax and  certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to the Optionee’s  participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control, income tax  and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2022.  Such laws are often complex  and change frequently.  As a result, the Optionee should not rely on the information noted herein  as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because  the information may be out-of-date at the time the Optionee vests in the Option or sells any Shares  acquired under the Plan.    In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the  Optionee’s particular situation.  As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee  of any particular result.  Accordingly, the Optionee should seek appropriate professional advice as  to how the relevant laws in the Optionee’s country may apply to the Optionee’s individual  situation.    Finally, if the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee  is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or if the  Optionee transfers employment and/or residency to a different country after the Option is granted,  the information contained in this Appendix B may not be applicable to the Optionee in the same  manner. 

 

  -1-     Internal Use Only  UNITED KINGDOM    Terms and Conditions    Responsibility for Taxes.  The following provision supplements Section 5(b) of the Agreement:     Without limitation to Section 5(b) of the Agreement, the Optionee agrees that the Optionee is liable  for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when  requested by the Company or the Employer or by HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any  other tax authority or any other relevant authority).  The Optionee also agrees to indemnify and  keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are  required to pay, or withhold or have paid or will pay, on the Optionee’s behalf to HMRC (or any  other tax authority or any other relevant authority).    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee is a director or executive officer of the Company  (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Optionee may not be able to  indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of any income tax not collected from or  paid by the Optionee, as it may be considered a loan.  In this case, the amount of any income tax  not collected within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the  Tax-Related Item(s) occurs may constitute an additional benefit to the Optionee on which  additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable.  The  Optionee will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit  directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Company and/or the  Employer (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which  the Company or the Employer may recover from the Optionee by any of the means referred to in  the Plan or Section 5(b) of the Agreement.
