 The Plan is a discretionary benefit offered by Taylor Nelson Sofres plc (“TNS”) for the

the TNS Group. 
  
 Shares purchased or received under the Plan and any gains obtained under
the Plan are not part of salary for any purpose (except to any extent required by statute). 
  
 The Plan is being offered for the first time in 2005 in selected countries and the remuneration committee of the board of TNS shall have the right to decide, in its sole discretion, whether or not further awards will be offered
in the future and to which employees those awards will be granted. 
  
 Participating in
the Plan is an investment opportunity distinct from any employment contract. Participation in the Plan entails the risks associated with an investment. An individual who participates in the Plan is treated as being aware of such risks and accepts
such risks of his own free will. 
  
 The detailed rules of the Plan are
set out overleaf.

	 	(b)	 	by the transfer of treasury Shares; and/or 

  

	 	(c)	 	by the transfer of Shares (other than the transfer of treasury Shares). 

  
 The Committee may decide to change the way in which it is intended that an Award may be satisfied after it has been granted, having regard to the provisions of Rule
5 (Limits). 
  

	3.5	 	Timing of grant 

  
 Subject to Rule 3.7 (Approvals and consents), the Committee may only grant an Award: 
  

	 	(a)	 	within the period of 6 weeks beginning with: 

  

	 	(i)	 	the date on which the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 	the dealing day after the date on which the Company announces its results for any period; or 

  

	 	(b)	 	at any other time when the Committee considers that circumstances are sufficiently exceptional to justify its grant 

  
 but an Award may not be granted after 10 May 2010 (that is, the expiry of the
period of 5 years beginning with the date on which the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company). 
  

	3.6	 	Non-transferability and bankruptcy 

  
 An Award granted to any person: 
  

	 	(a)	 	shall not be transferred, assigned, charged or otherwise disposed of by him except on his death to his personal representatives; and

 The grant of any Award shall be subject to obtaining any approval or consent required under the Listing Rules, any relevant share dealing code of the Company, the
City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, or any other UK or overseas regulation or enactment. 
  

	4.	 	INVESTMENT SHARES 

  

	4.1	 	Purchase of Investment Shares 

  
 To the extent required by the Committee on the grant of an Award under Rule 3.1(c) (Terms of grant—Investment Shares), Investment Shares shall comprise
such number of Shares purchased or to be purchased for the purpose of that Award by the prospective Participant, subject to Rule 4.2 below. 
  
 For the avoidance of doubt Shares held by the prospective Participant at the Grant Date and not acquired for the purpose of being Investment Shares shall not count
as Investment Shares, unless the Committee determines otherwise. 
  

 4 

	4.2	 	Limits on the number of Investment Shares purchased 

  
 The aggregate market value of the Investment Shares purchased under Rule 4.1 shall be determined by the Committee on or prior to the grant of an Award. 

 
 For the purposes of this Rule 4.2, market value shall be calculated by
reference to either: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the average price at which Investment Shares are bought on the London Stock Exchange in relation to the grant of Awards on that occasion; or 

  

	 	(b)	 	the middle market quotation of a Share on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange on a dealing day determined by the Committee falling within the period of 30 days ending with the
Grant Date (or the average of such quotations over such dealing days falling within that period as the Committee may determine). 

  

	4.3	 	Holding of Investment Shares 

  
 Investment Shares may, at the Committee’s demand, be held on the Participant’s behalf by a nominee chosen from time to time by the Committee, or the
Participant may be asked to deposit the share certificate (or any other document of title) relating to such Investment Shares with any person specified by the Committee, or by such other method as determined by the Committee that will enable it to
determine ownership of the Investment Shares. 
  

	4.4	 	Variation of share capital—Investment Shares 

  
 If a Participant acquires any further Shares by virtue of his holding of Investment Shares under a variation of share capital of the Company then, unless the
Committee decides otherwise, he may add those Shares to his holding of Investment Shares and the Committee may adjust his Award in accordance with Rule 13 (Adjustment Awards). 
  

	4.5	 	Transfer of Investment Shares prior to Vesting 

  
 Subject to Rule 4.7 (where applicable), if at any time prior to the Vesting of an Award a Participant requests that any of his Investment Shares should be
transferred to him (or his nominee) or that the document of title relating to any of those Investment Shares should be returned to him, the Board shall arrange for the transfer of the Investment Shares or the documents of title, as appropriate.

  

	4.6	 	Transfer of Investment Shares on or after Vesting 

  
 On or as soon as practicable after the Vesting of an Award, the Board shall transfer or procure the transfer of: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the legal title for any Investment Shares related to that Award; and/or 

  

	 	(b)	 	any document of title relating to those Investment Shares 

  
 to the Participant (or his nominee). 
  

 5 

	4.7	 	In respect of Investment Shares a Participant was required to acquire under Rule 3 in relation to a subsisting Award granted under Schedule Six to the Plan (Rules specific to employees in
France), notwithstanding any other Rule: 

  

	 	4.7.1	 	the transfer of Investment Shares in conjunction with the unconditional offer by WPP Group plc for the entire issued ordinary share capital of the Company (“Transaction
Transfer”) on the basis of: 

  

			
	for each Investment Share:	  	173 pence in cash and 0.1889 of an ordinary share of 10 pence each in the capital of WPP plc (“WPP Shares”)

  
 shall not be considered a
“transfer” or “disposal” of the Investment Shares for the purposes of Rules 4.5 or 10 and notwithstanding the Transaction Transfer, the Participant shall be considered to have “retained beneficial ownership of the Investment
Shares” for the purposes of Rule 6.2(d); 
  

	 	4.7.2	 	(subject to any transfer or disposal of the Investment Shares occurring subsequent to the Transaction Transfer) after the Transaction Transfer, the number of Shares which a Participant shall
be entitled to by virtue of his Award shall be based on his holding of Investment Shares immediately prior to the Transaction Transfer and shall not be reduced pro rata to reflect the actual number of Investment Shares held after the Transaction
Transfer; and 

  

	 	4.7.3	 	after the Transaction Transfer, the term “Investment Shares” shall refer to the WPP Shares acquired as a result of the Transaction Transfer. 

  

	5.	 	LIMITS 

  

	5.1	 	14 per cent. in 10 years limit 

  
 No Award shall be granted if it would, at the time it is granted, cause the number of Shares allocated (as defined in Rule 5.2) in the period of 10 years
ending at that time under this Plan or under any other employee share plan adopted by the Company to exceed such number as represents 14 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of the Company in issue at that time. 
  

	5.2	 	Meaning of “allocated” 

  
 For the purposes of Rule 5.1: 
  

	 	(a)	 	Shares are allocated: 

  

	 	(i)	 	when an option, award or other contractual right to acquire unissued Shares or treasury Shares is granted; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	where Shares are issued or treasury Shares are transferred otherwise than pursuant to an option, award or other contractual right to acquire Shares, when those Shares are issued or treasury
Shares transferred; 

  

	 	(b)	 	any Shares which have been issued or which may be issued (or any Shares transferred out of treasury or which may be transferred out of treasury) to any trustees to satisfy the exercise of any
option, award or other contractual right granted under any employee share plan shall be treated as “allocated”; and 

  

	 	(c)	 	for the avoidance of doubt, existing Shares other than treasury Shares that are transferred or over which options, awards or other contractual rights are granted shall not count as
“allocated”. 

  

 6 

	5.3	 	Post-grant events affecting numbers of “allocated” Shares 

  
 Where: 
  

	 	(a)	 	any option, award or other contractual right to acquire unissued Shares or treasury Shares is released or lapses (whether in whole or in part); or 

  

	 	(b)	 	after the grant of an option, award or other contractual right the Committee determines that: 

  

	 	(i)	 	where an amount is normally payable on its exercise it shall be satisfied without such payment but by either the issue of Shares and/or the transfer of treasury Shares and/or the payment of
cash equal to the gain made on its exercise; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 	it shall be satisfied by the transfer of existing Shares (other than Shares transferred out of treasury) 

  
 the unissued Shares or treasury Shares which consequently cease to be subject to the option, award or other contractual right from
time to time or absolutely (as appropriate) shall not count as “allocated”. 
  
 The number of Shares allocated in respect of an option, award or other contractual right shall be such number as the Board shall reasonably determine from time to time. 
  

	5.4	 	Changes to investor guidelines 

  
 Treasury Shares shall cease to count as “allocated” for the purposes of Rule 5.1 if institutional investor guidelines cease to require such Shares to be
so counted. 
  

	5.5	 	Individual limit 

  

	 	(a)	 	The maximum total market value of Shares (calculated as set out in this Rule) over which Awards may be granted to any employee during any financial year of the Company is 200% of his salary
(as defined in this Rule ) unless Rule 5.5(b) applies. 

  

	 	(b)	 	If the Committee decides that exceptional circumstances exist, for example, in relation to the recruitment or retention of an eligible employee, then the maximum total market value of Shares
over which Awards may be granted to that employee during a financial year of the Company may exceed 200% of his salary. 

  
 For the purpose of this Rule 5.5: 
  

	 	(i)	 	an employee’s salary shall be taken to be his base salary (excluding benefits in kind and bonuses), expressed as an annual rate payable by the Participating Companies to him on
the Grant Date (or such earlier date as the Committee shall determine). Where a payment of salary is made in a currency other than sterling, the payment shall be treated as equal to the equivalent amount of sterling determined by using any rate of
exchange which the Committee may reasonably select; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 	the market value of the Shares over which an Award is granted shall be taken to be an amount equal to the middle-market quotation of such Shares (as derived from the London Stock
Exchange Daily Official List) on the dealing day before the Grant Date or, if the Committee so determines, the average of the middle market quotations during a period determined by the Committee not exceeding the 5 dealing days ending with the Grant
Date. 

  

 7 

	5.6	 	Effect of limits 

  
 Any Award shall be limited and take effect so that the limits in this Rule 5 are complied with. 
  

	5.7	 	Restriction on use of unissued Shares or treasury Shares 

  
 No Shares may be issued or treasury Shares transferred to satisfy the Vesting of any Conditional Award or the exercise of any Option to the extent that such issue
or transfer would cause the number of Shares allocated (as defined in Rule 5.2 and adjusted under Rule 5.3) to exceed the limits in Rule 5.1 (14 per cent. in 10 years limit). 
  

	6.	 	VESTING OF AWARDS 

  

	6.1	 	Timing of Vesting: Normal Vesting Date 

  
 Subject to Rule 6.3 (Restrictions on Vesting: regulatory and tax issues), an Award will Vest on the later of: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the date on which the Committee determines whether or not any Performance Condition and any other condition imposed on the Vesting of the Award has been satisfied (in whole or part); and

  

	 	(b)	 	the Vesting Date 

  
 except where earlier Vesting occurs on an Early Vesting Date under Rule 11 (Leavers) or Rule 12 (Takeovers and other corporate events). 
  

	6.2	 	Extent of Vesting 

  
 An Award will only Vest to the extent: 
  

	 	(a)	 	that any Performance Condition is satisfied on the Normal Vesting Date or, if appropriate, the Early Vesting Date; 

  

	 	(b)	 	as permitted by any other term imposed on the Vesting of the Award; 

  

	 	(c)	 	in relation to Vesting on an Early Vesting Date, as permitted by Rules 11.4 and 12.5 (Reduction in number of Vested Shares); and 

  

	 	(d)	 	subject to Rule 4.7 (where applicable), to the extent that the Participant has retained beneficial ownership of the Investment Shares that he was required to acquire under Rule 3 (Terms of
grant) in accordance with Rule 4.1 (Purchase of Investment Shares) in relation to that Award at the time of Vesting. 

  
 Where, under Rule 11 (Leavers) or Rule 12 (Takeovers and other corporate events), an Award would (subject to the satisfaction of any Performance
Condition) Vest before the end of the full period over which performance is measured under the Performance Condition then, unless provided to the contrary by the Performance Condition, the extent to which the Performance Condition has been satisfied
in such circumstances shall be determined by the Committee on such reasonable basis as it determines. 
  

	6.3	 	Restrictions on Vesting: regulatory and tax issues 

  
 An Award will not Vest unless the following conditions are satisfied: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the Vesting of the Award, and the issue or transfer of Shares after such Vesting would be lawful in all relevant jurisdictions and in compliance with the Listing Rules, any relevant share
dealing code of the Company, the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers and any other relevant UK or overseas regulation or enactment; 

  

 8 

	 	(b)	 	if, on the Vesting of the Award, a Tax Liability would arise by virtue of such Vesting then the Participant must have entered into arrangements acceptable to the Board that the relevant Group
Member will receive the amount of such Tax Liability (whether pursuant to Rule 6.5 or otherwise); 

  

	 	(c)	 	the Participant has entered into such arrangements as the Committee requires (and where permitted in the relevant jurisdiction) to satisfy a Group Member’s liability to social security
contributions in respect of the Vesting of the Award; and 

  

	 	(d)	 	where the Committee requires, the Participant has entered into, or agreed to enter into, a valid election under Part 7 of ITEPA (Employment income: elections to disapply tax charge on
restricted securities) or any similar arrangement in any overseas jurisdiction. 

  
 For the purposes of this Rule 6.3, references to Group Member include any former Group Member. 
  

	6.4	 	Tax liability before Vesting 

  
 If a Participant will, or is likely to, incur any Tax Liability before the Vesting of an Award then that Participant must enter into arrangements acceptable to any
relevant Group Member to ensure that it receives the amount of such Tax Liability. If no such arrangement is made then the Participant will be deemed to have authorised the Company to sell or procure the sale of sufficient of the Shares subject to
his Award on his behalf to ensure that the relevant Group Member receives the amount required to discharge the Tax Liability and the number of Shares subject to his Award shall be reduced accordingly. 
  
 For the purposes of this Rule 6.4, references to Group Member include any former Group
Member. 
  

	6.5	 	Payment of Tax Liability 

  
 The Participant authorises the Company to sell or procure the sale of sufficient Vested Shares on or following the Vesting of his Award on his behalf to ensure that
any relevant Group Member receives the amount required to discharge the Tax Liability which arises on Vesting unless he agrees to fund all or part of the Tax Liability in a different manner. 
  

	7.	 	CONSEQUENCES OF VESTING 

  

	7.1	 	Conditional Awards 

  
 On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Vesting of a Conditional Award, the Board shall, subject to Rule 6.5 (Payment of Tax Liability) and any
arrangement made under Rules 6.3(b) and 6.3(c), transfer or procure the transfer of the Vested Shares to the Participant (or a nominee for him). 
  
 A Participant who holds a Conditional Award shall not have any beneficial interest in the Shares subject to his Award before the transfer of Vested Shares to him
(or his nominee). 
  

	7.2	 	Options 

  
 An Option shall, subject to Rule 8.1 (Restrictions on the exercise of an Option: regulatory and tax issues), be exercisable in respect of the Vested Shares during the Exercise Period or, if an event referred to in Rule
11.1 and 11.2 (Good Leavers), Rule 12.1 (General offers), Rule 12.2 (Schemes of arrangement and winding up) or Rule 12.3 (Demergers and similar events) occurs then such shorter period which applies under those Rules.

  

 9 

 If an Option is not exercised during the last 30 days of the Exercise Period because of any regulatory restrictions
referred to in Rule 8.1(a), the Committee may extend the period during which the Option may be exercised so as to permit the Option to be exercised as soon as those restrictions cease to apply provided that no Option may be exercised after the tenth
anniversary of the Grant Date. 
  

	7.3	 	Dividend equivalent 

  
 The Committee may, at its sole discretion, decide on or before the Vesting of an Award that a Participant (or his nominee) shall be entitled to cash and/or Shares
(as determined by the Committee) equal in value to the dividends (including the dividend tax credit) that would have been paid on the Vested Shares in respect of dividend record dates occurring during the period between the Grant Date and the date
of Vesting. 
  
 The Committee, acting fairly and reasonably, may decide to
disapply this Rule 7.3 in relation to all or part of a special dividend which would otherwise be included under this Rule. 
  
 Payment of such cash and/or Shares shall be made as soon as practicable after Vesting and shall be subject to such deductions (on account of tax or similar
liabilities) as may be required by law or as the Board may reasonably consider to be necessary or desirable. 
  

	8.	 	EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 

  

	8.1	 	Restrictions on the exercise of an Option: regulatory and tax issues 

  
 An Option which has Vested may not be exercised unless the following conditions are satisfied: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the exercise of the Option and the issue or transfer of Shares after such exercise must be lawful in all relevant jurisdictions and in compliance with the Listing Rules, any relevant share
dealing code of the Company, the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers and any other relevant UK or overseas regulation or enactment; 

  

	 	(b)	 	if, on the exercise of the Option, a Tax Liability would arise by virtue of such exercise then the Participant must have entered into arrangements acceptable to the Board that the relevant
Group Member will receive the amount of such Tax Liability (whether pursuant to Rule 8.4 (Payment of Tax Liability) or otherwise); 

  

	 	(c)	 	the Participant has entered into such arrangements as the Committee requires (and where permitted in the relevant jurisdiction) to satisfy a Group Member’s liability to social security
contributions or its equivalent in respect of the exercise of the Option; and 

  

	 	(d)	 	where the Committee requires, the Participant has entered into, or agreed to enter into, a valid election under Part 7 of ITEPA (Employment income: elections to disapply tax charge on
restricted securities) or any similar arrangement in any overseas jurisdiction. 

  
 For the purposes of this Rule 8.1 references to Group Member include any former Group Member. 
  

	8.2	 	Exercise in whole or part 

  
 An Option may be exercised in whole or part. 
  

	8.3	 	Method of exercise 

  
 The exercise of any Option shall be effected in the form and manner prescribed by the Board. Unless the Board, acting fairly and reasonably determines otherwise,
any notice of exercise shall, subject to Rule 8.1 (Restrictions on the exercise of an Option: regulatory and tax issues), 

  

 10 

 
take effect only when the Company receives it, together with payment of any relevant Option Price (or, if the Board so permits, an undertaking to pay that amount).

  
 A Participant who holds an Option shall not have any beneficial
interest in the Shares subject to his Option prior to the allotment or transfer of Vested Shares to him (or his nominee). 
  

	8.4	 	Payment of Tax Liability 

  
 The Participant authorises the Company to sell or procure the sale of sufficient Vested Shares on or following exercise of his Option on his behalf to ensure that
any relevant Group Member receives the amount required to discharge the Tax Liability which arises on such exercise unless he agrees to fund all or part of the Tax Liability in a different manner. 
  

	8.5	 	Allotment and transfer timetable 

  
 As soon as reasonably practicable after an Option has been exercised, the Board shall, subject to Rule 8.4 (Payment of Tax Liability) and any arrangement
made under Rules 8.1(b) or 8.1(c), allot to him (or a nominee for him) or, if appropriate, transfer or procure the transfer to him (or a nominee for him) of the number of Shares in respect of which the Option has been exercised. 
  

	9.	 	CASH ALTERNATIVE 

  

	9.1	 	Committee determination 

  
 Where a Conditional Award Vests or where an Option has been exercised and Vested Shares have not yet been allotted or transferred to the Participant (or his
nominee), the Committee may determine that, in substitution for his right to acquire such number of Vested Shares as the Committee may decide (but in full and final satisfaction of that right), he shall be paid by way of additional employment income
a sum equal to the cash equivalent (as defined in Rule 9.2) of that number of Shares in accordance with the following provisions of this Rule. 
  

	9.2	 	Cash equivalent 

  
 For the purpose of this Rule 9, the cash equivalent of a Share is: 
  

	 	(a)	 	in the case of a Conditional Award, the market value of a Share on the day when the Award Vests; 

  

	 	(b)	 	in the case of an Option, the market value of a Share on the day when the Option is exercised reduced by a proportion of the Option Price which reflects the number of Vested Shares being
replaced by the cash alternative. 

  
 Market value on any day
shall be determined as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	 	if on the date of Vesting or exercise, Shares are quoted in the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List, the middle-market quotation of a Share, as derived from that List, on the dealing
day before that day; or 

  

	 	(b)	 	if Shares are not so quoted, such value of a Share as the Committee reasonably determines. 

  

	9.3	 	Payment of cash equivalent 

  
 Subject to Rule 9.4 (Share alternative), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Committee has determined under Rule 9.1 that a Participant shall be paid
a sum in substitution for his right to acquire any number of Vested Shares: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the Company shall pay to him or procure the payment to him of that sum in cash; and 

  

 11 

	 	(b)	 	if he has already paid the Company for those Shares, the Company shall return to him the amount so paid by him. 

  

	9.4	 	Share alternative 

  
 If the Committee so decides, the whole or any part of the sum payable under Rule 9.3 shall, instead of being paid to the Participant in cash, be applied on his
behalf: 
  

	 	(a)	 	in subscribing for Shares at a price equal to the market value by reference to which the cash equivalent is calculated; or 

  

	 	(b)	 	in purchasing such Shares; or 

  

	 	(c)	 	partly in one way and partly in the other 

  
 and the Company shall allot to him (or his nominee) or procure the transfer to him (or his nominee) of the Shares so subscribed for or purchased. 
  

	9.5	 	Deductions 

  
 There shall be deducted from any payment under this Rule 9 such amounts (on account of tax or similar liabilities) as may be required by law or as the Board may reasonably consider to be necessary or desirable. 
  

	10.	 	LAPSE OF AWARDS 

  
 An Award will lapse: 
  

	 	(a)	 	in accordance with these Rules; 

  

	 	(b)	 	to the extent it does not Vest under these Rules; 

  

	 	(c)	 	subject to Rule 4.7 (where applicable), on the date on which the Participant transfers, charges or otherwise disposes of the Investment Shares to which the Award relates but only pro rata to
the number of Investment Shares which are transferred charged or otherwise disposed of. 

  

	11.	 	LEAVERS 

  

	11.1	 	Good leavers—circumstances other than death 

  
 If a Participant ceases to be a director or employee of a Group Member before the Normal Vesting Date by reason of: 
  

	 	(a)	 	injury or disability; 

  

	 	(b)	 	retirement at his normal retirement age or at such other age with the agreement of his employer; 

  

	 	(c)	 	his office or employment being either with a company which ceases to be a Group Member or relating to a business or part of a business which is transferred to a person who is not a Group
Member; or 

  

	 	(d)	 	for any other reason, if the Committee so decides 

  
 then 
  

	 	(i)	 	 subject to Rule 6.3 (Restrictions on Vesting: regulation and tax issues) and Rule 12 (Takeovers and other corporate events), his Award shall Vest on the Normal
Vesting 

  

 12 

	 	 
Date subject to the satisfaction of the Performance Condition and any other condition imposed on the Vesting of an Award; unless 

  

	 	(ii)	 	the Committee decides in exceptional circumstances and subject to Rule 6.3 (Restrictions on Vesting: regulation and tax issues), that his Award shall Vest on the date of cessation in
which case Rule 11.4 (Leavers: reduction in number of Vested Shares) shall apply. 

  
 Any Option that Vests under Rules 11.1(i) or (ii) above may subject to Rule 12 (Takeovers and other corporate events) be exercised during the period of
12 months beginning on the Normal Vesting Date or the date of cessation respectively and if not exercised shall lapse at the end of that period. 
  

	11.2	 	Good leavers—death 

  
 If a Participant ceases to be a director or employee of a Group Member before the Normal Vesting Date by reason of death then subject to Rule 6.3 (Restrictions
on Vesting: regulation and tax issues) his Award shall Vest on the date of cessation subject to the satisfaction of the Performance Condition and any other condition imposed on the Vesting of an Award. 
  
 Any Option that Vests under this Rule may subject to Rule 12 (Takeovers and other
corporate events) be exercised by the Participant’s personal representatives during the period of 12 months beginning on the date of cessation and if not exercised shall lapse at the end of that period. 
  

	11.3	 	Cessation of employment in other circumstances 

  
 If a Participant ceases to be a director or employee of a Group Member for any reason other than those specified in Rules 11.1 and 11.2 (Good leavers) then
any Award held by him shall lapse immediately on such cessation. 
  
 For
the avoidance of doubt, Investment Shares are not at risk of forfeiture. 
  

	11.4	 	Leavers: reduction in number of Vested Shares 

  
 Where an Award Vests on or after a Participant ceasing to be a director or employee of a Group Member under Rule 11.1(ii), the Committee shall determine the number
of Vested Shares of that Award by the following steps: 
  

	 	(a)	 	by applying any Performance Condition and any other condition imposed on the Vesting of the Award; and 

  

	 	(b)	 	by applying a pro rata reduction to the number of Shares determined under 11.4(a) based on the period of time after the Grant Date and ending on the date of cessation relative to the Vesting
Period 

  
 unless the Committee, acting fairly and
reasonably, decides that the reduction in the number of Vested Shares under Rule 11.4(b) is inappropriate in any particular case when it shall increase the number of Vested Shares to such higher number as it decides provided that number does not
exceed the number of Shares determined under Rule 11.4(a). 
  

	11.5	 	Meaning of ceasing employment 

  
 A Participant shall not be treated for the purposes of this Rule 11 as ceasing to be a director or employee of a Group Member until such time as he is no longer a
director or employee of any Group Member. If any Participant ceases to be such a director or employee before the Vesting 

  

 13 

 
of his Award in circumstances where he retains a statutory right to return to work then he shall be treated as not having ceased to be such a director or employee
until such time (if at all) as he ceases to have such a right while not acting as an employee or director. 
  

	12.	 	TAKEOVERS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS 

  

	12.1	 	General offers 

  
 If any person (or group of persons acting in concert): 
  

	 	(a)	 	obtains Control of the Company as a result of making a general offer to acquire Shares; or 

  

	 	(b)	 	having obtained Control makes such an offer and such offer becomes unconditional in all respects 

  

 the Board shall within 7 days of becoming aware of that event notify every Participant of it and, subject to Rule 12.4 (Internal
reorganisations), the following provisions shall apply: 
  

	 	(i)	 	the date of such notification shall be the Early Vesting Date for all Awards that have not then Vested and Rule 12.5 (Corporate events: reduction in number of Vested Shares) shall
apply; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 	any Option may be exercised within one month of the date of such notification, but to the extent that an Option is not exercised within that period, that Option shall (regardless of any other
provision of the Plan) lapse at the end of that period. 

  

	12.2	 	Schemes of arrangement and winding up 

  
 In the event that: 
  

	 	(a)	 	under Section 425 of the Companies Act 1985 the Court sanctions a compromise or arrangement in connection with the acquisition of Shares; or 

  

	 	(b)	 	the Company passes a resolution for a voluntary winding up of the Company; or 

  

	 	(c)	 	an order is made for the compulsory winding up of the Company 

  
 the Board shall, as soon as practicable, notify every Participant of that event and, subject to Rule 12.4 (Internal reorganisations), the following
provisions shall apply: 
  

	 	(i)	 	the date of such notification shall be the Early Vesting Date for all Awards which have not then Vested and Rule 12.5 (Corporate events: reduction in number of Vested Shares) shall
apply; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 	any Option may be exercised within one month of such notification, but to the extent that an Option is not exercised within that period, that Option shall (regardless of any other provision
of the Plan) lapse at the end of that period. 

  

	12.3	 	Demerger and similar events 

  
 If a demerger, special dividend or other similar event (the “Relevant Event”) is proposed which, in the opinion of the Committee, would affect the
market price of Shares to a material extent, then the Committee may, at its discretion, decide that the following provisions will apply: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the Committee shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after deciding to apply these provisions, notify a Participant that, subject to earlier lapse under Rule 11 (Leavers), his Award
Vests and, if relevant, his Option may be exercised on such terms as the Committee may determine and during such period preceding the Relevant Event or on the Relevant Event as the Committee may determine; 

  

 14 

	 	(b)	 	if an Award Vests, or an Option is exercised, in advance of and conditional upon the Relevant Event and such event does not occur then the conditional Vesting or exercise shall not be
effective and the Award shall continue to subsist; and 

  

	 	(c)	 	if the Committee decides that an Award Vests under this Rule 12.3 then the date of that Vesting shall be the Early Vesting Date and the provisions of Rule 12.5 (Corporate events: reduction
in number of Vested Shares) shall apply. 

  

	12.4	 	Internal reorganisations 

  
 In the event that: 
  

	 	(a)	 	a company (the “Acquiring Company”) is expected to obtain Control of the Company as a result of an offer referred to in Rule 12.1 (General offers) or a compromise or
arrangement referred to in Rule 12.2 (a) (Schemes of arrangement and winding up); and 

  

	 	(b)	 	at least 75% of the shares in the Acquiring Company are expected to be held by persons who immediately before the obtaining of Control of the Company were shareholders in the Company

  
 then the Committee, with the consent of the Acquiring
Company, may decide before the obtaining of such Control that an Award shall not Vest under Rule 12.1 or Rule 12.2 but shall be automatically surrendered in consideration for the grant of a new award which the Committee determines is equivalent to
the Award it replaces except that it will be over shares in the Acquiring Company or some other company. 
  
 The Rules will apply to any new award granted under this Rule 12.4 as if references to Shares were references to shares over which the new award is granted and
references to the Company were references to the company whose shares are subject to the new award. 
  

	12.5	 	Corporate events: reduction in number of Vested Shares 

  
 If an Award Vests under any of Rules 12.1 to 12.3, the Committee shall determine the number of Vested Shares of that Award by the following steps: 
  

	 	(a)	 	by applying any Performance Condition and any other condition imposed on the Vesting of the Award; and 

  

	 	(b)	 	by applying a pro rata reduction to the number of Shares determined under Rule 12.5(a) based on the period of time after the Grant Date and ending on the Early Vesting Date relative to the
Vesting Period 

  
 unless the Committee, acting fairly and
reasonably, decides that the reduction in the number of Vested Shares under Rule 11.5(b) is inappropriate in any particular case when it shall increase the number of Vested Shares to such higher number as it decides provided that number does not
exceed the number of Shares determined under Rule 12.5(a). 
  

	13.	 	ADJUSTMENT OF AWARDS 

  

	13.1	 	General rule 

  
 In the event of: 
  

	 	(a)	 	any variation of the share capital of the Company including, but not limited to, a rights issue, bonus issue, sub-division or consolidation of shares; or 

  

	 	(b)	 	a demerger, special dividend or other similar event which affects the market price of Shares to a material extent 

  

 15 

 the Committee may make such adjustments as it considers appropriate under Rule 13.2 (Method of adjustment)
having regard, where relevant, of any additional Investment Shares which may have been acquired by a Participant under Rule 4.4 (Variation of share capital – Investment Shares). 
  

	13.2	 	Method of adjustment 

  
 An adjustment made under this Rule shall be to one or more of the following: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the number of Shares comprised in an Award; 

  

	 	(b)	 	subject to Rule 13.3 (Adjustment below nominal value), the Option Price; and 

  

	 	(c)	 	where any Award has vested or Option has been exercised but no Shares have been allotted or transferred after such Vesting or exercise, the number of Shares which may be so allotted or
transferred and (if relevant) the price at which they may be acquired. 

  

	13.3	 	Adjustment below nominal value 

  
 An adjustment under Rule 13.2 may have the effect of reducing the price at which Shares may be subscribed for on the exercise of an Option to less than their
nominal value, but only if and to the extent that the Board is authorised: 
  

	 	(a)	 	to capitalise from the reserves of the Company a sum equal to the amount by which the nominal value of the Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised and which are to be allotted
after such exercise exceeds the price at which the Shares may be subscribed for; and 

  

	 	(b)	 	to apply that sum in paying up such amount on such Shares 

  
 so that on exercise of any Option in respect of which such a reduction shall have been made the Board shall capitalise that sum (if any) and apply it in paying up
that amount. 
  

	14.	 	ALTERATIONS 

  

	14.1	 	General rule on alterations 

  
 Except as described in Rule 14.2 (Shareholder approval), Rule 14.4 (Alterations to disadvantage of Participants) and Rule 14.5 (Alteration to the
Performance Condition), the Committee may at any time alter the Plan or the terms of any Award granted under it. 
  

	14.2	 	Shareholder approval 

  
 Except as described in Rule 14.3 (Exceptions to shareholder approval), no alteration to the advantage of an individual to whom an Award has been or may be
granted shall be made under Rule 14.1 to the provisions concerning: 
  

	 	(a)	 	eligibility; 

  

	 	(b)	 	the individual limits on participation; 

  

	 	(c)	 	the overall limits on the issue of Shares or the transfer of treasury Shares; 

  

	 	(d)	 	the basis for determining a Participant’s entitlement to, and the terms of, Shares or cash provided under the Plan; 

  

 16 

	 	(e)	 	the adjustments that may be made in the event of any variation of capital; and 

  

	 	(f)	 	the terms of this Rule 14.2 

  
 without the prior approval by ordinary resolution of the members of the Company in general meeting. 
  

	14.3	 	Exceptions to shareholder approval 

  
 Rule 14.2 (Shareholder approval) shall not apply to: 
  

	 	(a)	 	any minor alteration to benefit the administration of the Plan, to take account of a change in legislation or to obtain or maintain favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment
for Participants or any Group Member; or 

  

	 	(b)	 	any alteration solely relating to the Performance Condition. 

  

	14.4	 	Alterations to disadvantage of Participants 

  
 No alteration to the material disadvantage of Participants shall be made under Rule 14.1 unless: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the Board shall have invited every relevant Participant to indicate whether or not he approves the alteration; and 

  

	 	(b)	 	the alteration is approved by a majority of those Participants who have given such an indication. 

  

	14.5	 	Alterations to the Performance Condition 

  
 No alteration which solely relates to the Performance Condition shall be made under Rule 14.1 unless: 
  

	 	(a)	 	an event has occurred which causes the Committee reasonably to consider that the Performance Condition would not, without the alteration, achieve its original purpose;

  

	 	(b)	 	the altered Performance Condition will, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee, be not materially less difficult to satisfy than the unaltered Performance Condition would have been but
for the event in question; and 

  

	 	(c)	 	the Committee shall act fairly and reasonably in making the alteration. 

  

	15.	 	MISCELLANEOUS 

  

	15.1	 	Employment 

  
 The rights and obligations of any individual under the terms of his office or employment with any Group Member shall not be affected by his participation in the Plan or any right which he may have to participate in it. An
individual who participates in the Plan waives any and all rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of his office or employment for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights arise or may arise from him ceasing to have
rights under an Award as a result of such termination. Participation in the Plan shall not confer a right to continued employment upon any individual who participates in it. The grant of any Award does not imply that any further Award will be
granted nor that a Participant has any right to receive any further Award. 
  

 17 

	15.2	 	Disputes 

  
 In the event of any dispute or disagreement as to the interpretation of the Plan, or as to any question or right arising from or relating to the Plan (including the rectification of errors and mistakes), the decision of the
Committee shall be final and binding upon all persons. 
  
 The exercise of
any discretion by the Committee shall not be open to question by any person and a Participant or former Participant shall have no rights in relation to the exercise or omission to exercise any such discretion. 
  

	15.3	 	Share rights 

  
 All Shares allotted under the Plan shall rank equally in all respects with Shares then in issue except for any rights attaching to such Shares by reference to a record date before the date of the allotment. 
  
 Where Vested Shares are transferred to Participants (or their nominee), Participants
will be entitled to all rights attaching to such Shares by reference to a record date on or after the date of such transfer or release of such restrictions. 
  

	15.4	 	Notices 

  
 Any notice or other communication under or in connection with the Plan may be given: 
  

	 	(a)	 	by personal delivery or by post, in the case of a company to its registered office, and in the case of an individual to his last known address, or, where he is a director or employee of a
Group Member (or former Group Member), either to his last known address or to the address of the place of business at which he performs the whole or substantially the whole of the duties of his office or employment; 

  

	 	(b)	 	in an electronic communication to their usual business address or such other address for the time being notified for that purpose to the person giving the notice; or 

 

	 	(c)	 	by such other method as the Board determines. 

  

	15.5	 	Third parties 

  
 No third party has any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Plan. 
  

	15.6	 	Benefits not pensionable 

  
 Benefits provided under the Plan shall not be pensionable. 
  

	15.7	 	Governing law 

  
 The Plan and all Awards shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the Courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to hear any dispute. 
  

 18 

 PART B—CONDITIONAL CASH AWARDS 
  
 The Rules of Part A of the Taylor Nelson Sofres plc 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan shall apply to a right (a “Conditional Cash Award”)
to receive a cash sum granted or to be granted under this Part B as if it was a Conditional Award, except as set out in this Part B. Where there is any conflict between Part A and Part B, the rules of this Part B shall prevail. 
  

	 	1.	 	The Committee may grant or procure the grant of a Conditional Cash Award. 

  

	 	2.	 	Each Conditional Cash Award shall relate to a given number of notional Shares. 

  

	 	3.	 	On the Vesting of the Conditional Cash Award the holder of that Award shall be entitled to a cash sum which shall be equal to the “Cash Value” of the notional Vested Shares,
where the Cash Value of a notional Share is the market value of a Share on the date of Vesting of the Conditional Cash Award. For the purposes of this Part B, the market value of a Share on any day shall be determined in accordance with Rule 9.2
(Cash equivalent) under Part A. 

  

	 	4.	 	The cash sum payable under paragraph 3 above shall be paid by the employer of the Participant as soon as practicable after the Vesting of the Conditional Cash Award, net of any deductions (on
account of tax or similar liabilities) as may be required by law. 

  

	 	5.	 	For the avoidance of doubt, a Conditional Cash Award shall not confer any right on the holder of such an Award to receive Shares or any interest in Shares. 

  

 19 

 PART C—SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
  
 A Share Appreciation Right (“SAR”) may be granted under this Part C of the Taylor Nelson Sofres plc 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan.
The Rules of Part A of the Plan shall apply to a SAR as if it were an Option, except as set out in this Part C. Where there is any conflict between the Rules of Part A and this Part C, the rules of this Part C shall prevail. 
  

	 	1.	 	Before the grant of a SAR, the Committee shall determine a “base price” for each Share under the SAR. 

  

	 	2.	 	There shall be no amount payable on the exercise of a SAR. 

  

	 	3.	 	Subject to paragraph 7 below, within 30 days after a SAR has been exercised by a Participant, the Board shall procure the transfer to him (or a nominee for him) or, if appropriate, allot to
him (or a nominee for him) the number of Shares or Cash which shall have an aggregate market value (as defined in paragraph 5 below) as near as possible equal to (but not exceeding) the notional gain (as defined in paragraph 4 below).

  

	 	4.	 	The notional gain is the amount by which the aggregate market value of the number of Shares in respect of which the SAR is exercised exceeds the aggregate base price (as
calculated in accordance with paragraph 1 above) of that number of Shares. 

  

	 	5.	 	For the purpose of this Schedule the market value of a Share is either: 

  

	 	(a)	 	if Shares are quoted in the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List, the middle market quotation of a Share (as derived from that List) on the day before the day on which the SAR is
exercised; or 

  

	 	(b)	 	where Shares are not so quoted, such value on the day on which the SAR is exercised as the Committee, acting fairly and reasonably, shall decide. 

  

	 	6.	 	Shares may only be allotted to a Participant (or a nominee for him) who exercises his SAR to the extent that the Board is authorised: 

  

	 	(a)	 	to capitalise from the reserves of the Company a sum equal to at least the aggregate nominal value of the Shares to be allotted to satisfy the exercise of the SAR; and

  

	 	(b)	 	to apply that sum in paying up such amount on such Shares. 

  

	 	7.	 	If the Board so decides, the whole or any part of the notional gain determined under paragraph 4 above shall, instead of being delivered to the Participant (or his nominee) in Shares
under paragraph 3 above, be paid in cash 

  

	 	8.	 	Any payment of cash under paragraph 7 above will be subject to deduction of such amount (on account of tax and similar liabilities) as may be required by law or as the Board may reasonably
consider to be necessary or desirable.

 SCHEDULE SIX: FRANCE 
  
 THE TAYLOR NELSON SOFRES PLC 2005 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 Approved by the Board on [    ] September 2005 
  
 Amended by the Board on 26 August 2008 
  

Rules specific to employees in France 
  
 This Schedule Six is supplemental to the Taylor Nelson Sofres plc 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 
  
 This Schedule Six sets out the rules of the Plan, in its application to any Conditional Award as
defined below and granted or to be granted to a person who is, on the Grant Date, employed and resident for tax purposes in France and subject to French social security contributions regime (hereinafter the “French Participants”). Words
and phrases defined in Part A of the Plan shall bear the same meaning in this Schedule Six except as otherwise provided below. 
  
 The Committee intends to establish specific rules for the purpose of granting Conditional Awards which could qualify for the favourable tax and social security treatment in France
applicable to shares granted for no consideration under the Sections L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-5 of the French Commercial Code. 
  
 The said Rules of Part A of the Plan shall apply as the Rules without modification or variation save that: 
  

	1.	 	Notwithstanding any provisions of the Rules of Part A of the Plan, the term “Conditional Award” shall mean a promise by the Company to a future issuance of Shares of the Company,
granted to the French Participants for no consideration and for which any dividend and voting rights is attached only upon the issuance of Shares at the time of vesting of the Conditional Awards. 

  

	2.	 	The term “Subsidiary” must be understood as meaning a company in which Taylor Nelson Sofres holds at least, directly or indirectly, 10% of the share capital.

  

	3.	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Rules of Part A of the Plan, only French Participant who is defined as any individual who, on the Grant Date, is either bound to the French
Subsidiary by an employment contract (“contrat de travail”) or who is a corporate executive of the French Subsidiary, shall be eligible to receive Conditional Award under this Schedule Six. Conditional Award may not be issued under
this Schedule Six to employees or corporate officers owning more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s capital shares or to individuals other than employees and corporate executives of the French Subsidiary. Conditional Award may not be
issued to corporate executives of the French Subsidiary, other than the managing directors (e.g., Président du Conseil d’Administration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général
Délégué, Membre du Directoire, Gérant de Sociétés par actions), unless the corporate executive is an employee of a French Subsidiary as defined by French law. 

  

	4.	 	 Notwithstanding any provisions of the Rules of Part A of the Plan, the Conditional Award will be granted on the date on which the Committee both designates the French
Participants and specifies the terms and conditions of the Conditional Award, including the number of Shares, the vesting conditions and the conditions of the transferability of the Shares (the “Grant Date”). Since Shares of Common Stock
of the Company are traded on a regulated market, Conditional Award shall not be granted to French Participants in France during the Closed Periods, to the extent such Closed Periods are applicable to the 

  

 26 

	 	 
Conditional Awards under French law. A Closed Period is determined as follows: (i) ten quotation days preceding and following the disclosure to the public of the
consolidated financial statements or the annual statements of the Company; or (ii) the period as from the date the corporate management entities (involved in the governance of the company, such as the Board, Committee, supervisory
directorate...) of the Company have been disclosed information which could, in the case it would be disclosed to the public, significantly impact the quotation of the shares of the Company, until ten quotation days after the day such information
is disclosed to the public. 

  

	5.	 	Notwithstanding any provisions of the Rules of Part A of the Plan, Conditional Awards will vest on the date which will occur the later between (i) the third anniversary of the Grant Date
and (ii) the achievement of Performance Conditions as may be specified by the Committee as mentioned in 3.1 of the Rules of Part A of the Plan (the “Vesting Date”). On that Vesting Date, the Shares will be issued. However,
notwithstanding the above, in the event of the death of a French Participant, all of his outstanding Conditional Awards shall vest as set forth below. 

  

	6.	 	The sale of the shares issued pursuant to the Conditional Awards held by the French Participants must not occur prior to the second anniversary of each Vesting Date or such other period as
required to comply with the minimum mandatory holding period applicable to shares underlying French-qualified restricted stock units under Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended. In addition, the underlying shares shall not
be sold during certain Closed Periods as provided for by Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and as defined in 4 above so long as those Closed Periods are applicable to shares underlying French-qualified restricted stock
units. 

  

	7.	 	The Shares acquired upon vesting of the Conditional Awards will be recorded in an account in the name of the French Participant with a broker or in such other manner as the Company may
otherwise determine in order to ensure compliance with applicable law. 

  

	8.	 	Except in the case of death, Conditional Award shall not be transferred or surrendered to any third party. In addition, the Conditional Award may vest only for the benefit of the French
Participant during the lifetime of the French Participant. 

  

	9.	 	Neither the Dividend equivalent as provided for by Rule 7.3 of Part A of the Plan nor the Cash equivalent as provided for by Rule 9.2 of Part A of the Plan is applicable to the French
Participants. 

  

	10.	 	In the event of an acceleration of the vesting for Good Leavers as defined under Rule 11 of Part A of the Plan, the Vesting Date might be accelerated by the Committee in exceptional
circumstances. The Conditional Award shall vest on the date which is the later of (i) the date of the cessation or (ii) the second anniversary of the Grant date. 

  

	11.1	 	Subject to Rule 11.2 of this Schedule Six, in the event of an acceleration of vesting due to Takeovers and other Corporate Events as described in Rule 12 of Part A of the Plan, this may
result in an accelerated vesting period which would not comply with Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, consequently the Conditional Awards may no longer qualify for the French favourable tax and social security treatment.

  

	 11.2
	 	 Alternatively, if the Board so determines and with the consent of the relevant Participant, notwithstanding any provisions to the
contrary of Rule 12 of Part A of the Plan, pursuant to article L.225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, Conditional Awards shall not Vest prior to the Grant Date’s second (2nd) anniversary and on the occurrence of any corporate event referred to in Rule 12 of Part A of the Plan the Board may decide to: 

  

 27 

	 	 11.2.1
	 	 consolidate the Participant’s rights to receive Shares pursuant to a Conditional Award upon expiry of a time Vesting Period
or the Grant Date’s second (2nd) anniversary; or 

  

	 	11.2.2	 	(with the agreement of the company which has obtained Control of the Company), exchange Conditional Awards for equivalent awards over shares in a different company (whether the company which
has obtained Control of the Company itself or some other company), in which case the Board’s decision may be taken in accordance with the provisions of article L.225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, so that the exchange of Conditional
Awards is tax neutral; or 

  

	 	11.2.3	 	(with the agreement of the company which has obtained Control of the Company), amend Conditional Awards in order to receive shares from a different company (whether the company which has
obtained Control of the Company itself or some other company) provided such modification is in accordance with the provisions of article L 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code or article 80 quaterdecies of the French tax code so that the
modification of Conditional Awards is tax neutral. 

  

	12.	 	In the event of an adjustment of the Conditional Award, as described in Rule 13 of Part A of the Plan, adjustment to the conditions of the Conditional Award or underlying Shares can only be
made in accordance with the Rule of Part A of the Plan and pursuant to applicable French legal and tax rules. Nevertheless, the Board or Committee may determine to make adjustments in the case of a transaction for which adjustments are not
authorized under French law, in which case the Conditional Award may no longer qualify for French favourable tax and social security treatment. 

  

	13.	 	If the Conditional Awards are otherwise modified or adjusted in a manner in keeping with the terms of Rule of Part A of the Plan or as mandated as a matter of law and the modification or
adjustment is contrary to the terms and conditions of this Schedule Six and French relevant regulation, the Conditional Award may no longer qualify for favourable tax and social security treatment. If the Conditional Award no longer qualify for the
French favourable tax and social security treatment, the Board or Committee may, provided it is authorized to do so under the Rule of Part A of the Plan, determine to lift, shorten or terminate certain restrictions applicable to the vesting of the
Conditional Award or the sale of the Shares, which may have been imposed under this Schedule Six or in the Conditional Award delivered to the French Participant. 

  

	14.	 	In the event of the death of a French Participant, all Conditional Awards held by the French Participants at the time of death (whether vested or unvested at the time of death) shall become
immediately vested. The Company shall issue the underlying Shares to the French Participant’s heirs, at their request, within six months following the death of the French Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the French Participant’s
heirs must comply with the restriction on the sale of shares set forth under the Rule 6. of this Schedule Six to the extent and as long as applicable under French law. 

  

	15.	 	It is intended that Conditional Awards granted under this Schedule Six shall qualify for the favourable tax and social security treatment applicable to restricted stock units granted under
Sections L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-5 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by French tax and social security laws. The terms of this Schedule Six shall be interpreted accordingly and in
accordance with the relevant Guidelines published by French tax and social security administrations and subject to the fulfilment of certain legal, tax and reporting obligations. However, certain corporate transactions may impact the qualification
of the Conditional Award and underlying Shares.

a person shall include bodies corporate and unincorporated and vice versa. 

  

	1.4	 	Headings and captions are provided for reference only and shall not be considered as part of the Plan. 

  

	2	 	GRANT OF AWARDS 

  

	2.1	 	The Grantor may, during a Grant Period, grant Awards to such Eligible Employees as it may in its absolute discretion determine (save that, for the avoidance of doubt, no New Plan Share Award
may be granted to an executive director of a Participating Company) upon the terms set out in the Plan and upon such other additional terms as the Grantor may determine. In addition the Grantor may provide that Rule 9 (Cash equivalence) shall
not apply to one or more Awards or that Rule 9 shall not apply unless the Grantor, in its absolute discretion determines that it is necessary or desirable to take account of any change in legislation or to obtain or maintain favourable taxation,
exchange control or regulatory treatment for any Group Member or Participant. 

  

	2.2	 	Awards may be granted in the form of a Special Share Award or a New Plan Share Award. 

  

	2.3	 	The number of Shares subject to a Special Share Award shall be calculated by reference to such number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares) the aggregate Market Value
of which on the proposed Date of Grant is equivalent to the value of such percentage of an Eligible Employee’s Full Bonus in respect of the preceding Financial Year as shall be determined by the Grantor. 

  

	2.4	 	The number of Shares subject to a New Plan Share Award shall be calculated by reference to such number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares) the aggregate Market
Value of which on the proposed Date of Grant is equivalent to the value of such percentage of an Eligible Employee’s Actual Bonus in respect of the preceding Financial Year as shall be determined by the Grantor. 

  

	2.5	 	The grant of an Award shall be evidenced by execution of a deed on behalf of the Grantor which document may be in respect of an individual Award (“Individual Deed”) or any
number of Awards granted at the same time (“Global Deed”). In the case of a Global Deed, as soon as practicable after the Date of Grant, the Grantor shall issue to each Participant a certificate in respect of the Award which may be
under the autographic or facsimile signature of an officer of the Grantor and in such form (including, by electronic communication) as the Grantor may from time to time prescribe. An Individual Deed or, in the case of a Global Deed, a certificate,
must state: 

  

	 	2.5.1	 	the form of the Award, whether a Special Share Award or a New Plan Share Award; 

  

	 	2.5.2	 	the number of Shares over which the Award has been granted to the Participant; 

  

	 	2.5.3	 	that the Participant has an obligation to indemnify Group Members and the Trustee under Rule 4 (Tax Liability); 

  

	 	2.5.4	 	whether Rule 2.8 (dividend equivalents) applies to the Award; 

  

	 	2.5.5	 	the date on which the Award Vests; and 

  

	 	2.5.6	 	the Date of Grant; 

  

 5 

	2.6	 	No payment by the Participant shall be required on the grant of an Award or on the acquisition of Shares pursuant to an Award. 

  

	2.7	 	The grant of an Award shall be subject to obtaining any approval or consent required by the United Kingdom Listing Authority (or other relevant authority), any code adopted by the Company and
based on the “Model Code” on directors’ dealings in securities or any applicable laws or regulations (whether in the UK or overseas). 

  

	2.8	 	An Award may be granted on terms that, when it Vests, the number of Shares subject to the Award shall be increased by such number of Shares as could have been acquired with the amount of each
cash dividend for which the dividend record date falls between the Date of Grant and the date of Vesting, in each case calculated using the average of the middle market quotations of the Shares as derived from The Stock Exchange Daily Official List
for the five Dealing Days starting on the day the Shares are first quoted ex-dividend in respect of that dividend. Alternatively, the Grantor may determine that the Participant shall receive dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of Shares
subject to an Award on such other terms as the Grantor shall, in its absolute discretion, determine including making such adjustment as is necessary to reflect the fact that the dividend paid is net of tax paid (or treated as being so paid).

  

	2.9	 	Every Award shall be personal to the Participant to whom it is granted and shall not be assigned, transferred or charged in any way (except with the consent of the Grantor, or, in the event
of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s personal representatives). 

  

	2.10	 	A Participant may surrender an Award in whole or in part by notice in writing to the Company Secretary of the Company within the period of 30 days immediately following the Date of Grant and
if an Award, or any part of an Award, is so surrendered, it shall be deemed for all purposes not to have been granted. 

  

	2.11	 	The Grantor may, at the Date of Grant, determine that an Award shall be expressed to be a right of the Participant to acquire a cash sum calculated by reference to a notional number of Shares
under Award which on Vesting, delivers an amount equal to the Relevant Market Value (as defined below) of the number of notional Shares in respect of which the relevant Award has Vested. For the purposes of this Rule 2.11, “Relevant Market
Value” shall mean the Market Value of a Share on the date on which the Award Vests, multiplied by the number of notional Shares in respect of which such Vesting takes place. 

  

	2.12	 	An Award granted under Rule 2.11 shall be granted subject to the terms of the Plan, which shall be interpreted in such manner as the Grantor reasonably determines is necessary to give effect
to Rule 2.11. 

  

	2.13	 	The Grantor may make the Vesting of an Award conditional upon the Participant having entered into an agreement or election pursuant to paragraphs 3A or 3B of Schedule 1 to the Social Security
Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (as the Grantor shall determine), in which case the number of Shares subject to an Award may, at the discretion of the Grantor, be increased (at the Date of Grant) to reflect that the Participant is bearing this
liability. 

  

	3	 	VESTING OF AWARDS 

  

	    	 	Save as provided in Rules 5 and 6, Awards shall Vest on the end of the Vesting Period applicable to that Award. 

  

	4	 	TAX LIABILITY 

  

	    	 	 A Participant shall be responsible for and indemnifies all relevant Group Members and the Trustee against, all Relevant Tax relating to his Award. Any Group Member and/or the
Trustee 

  

 6 

	 	 
may withhold an amount equal to such Relevant Tax from any amounts due to the Participant (to the extent such withholding is lawful) and/or make any other arrangements
as it considers appropriate to ensure recovery of such Relevant Tax including, without limitation, the sale of sufficient Shares acquired pursuant to the Award to realise an amount equal to the Relevant Tax (and the payment of that amount to the
relevant authorities in satisfaction of the Relevant Tax). 

  

	5	 	CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT 

  

	5.1	 	If a Participant ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member as a result of (i) death; (ii) illness, injury or disability, in each case as evidenced to the satisfaction
of the Grantor; (iii) redundancy (within the meaning of the Employment Rights Act 1996 or where appropriate, its equivalent in other jurisdictions); (iv) a company ceasing to be a Group Member or the transfer of an undertaking or part of
an undertaking to a person who is not a Group Member; or (v) retirement (by agreement with the company which employs him), the following provisions shall apply: 

  

	 	5.1.1	 	any New Plan Share Award which has not Vested in accordance with Rule 3 or Rule 6 on the date of his cessation of office or employment shall Vest on the date of such cessation. Unless
the Grantor in its absolute discretion determines otherwise, the number of Shares in respect of which the New Plan Share Award will Vest shall then be reduced pro rata to reflect the period from the Date of Grant to the date of cessation as compared
with the period from the Date of Grant to the expiry of the Vesting Period; 

  

	 	5.1.2	 	any Special Share Award which has not Vested in accordance with Rule 3 or Rule 6 on the date of his cessation of office or employment shall, unless the Grantor in its absolute discretion
determines otherwise, continue to Vest as normal in accordance with Rule 3. 

  

	5.2	 	Where a Participant ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member for any reason other than a reason specified in Rule 5.1 any Awards which have not Vested at the date of such
cessation will lapse at that time unless the Grantor, in its absolute discretion, determines otherwise, in which case Rules 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 shall apply. 

  

	5.3	 	For the purposes of the Plan, no person shall be treated as ceasing to hold an office or employment with a Group Member until that person no longer holds an office or employment with any
Group Member. 

  

	5.4	 	For the purposes of the Plan, if the Grantor so determines, a Participant will not be treated as ceasing to hold an office or employment with a Group Member if such Participant is on an
extended leave of absence, until the earlier of the date on which he notifies his employer of his intention not to return or the date on which he ceases to have any statutory or contractual rights to return to work. 

  

	6	 	CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS 

  

	6.1	 	Subject to Rule 6.8, where any of the corporate events specified in Rules 6.2 to 6.7 inclusive occurs before an Award has Vested in accordance with Rule 3 or Rule 5: 

 

	 	6.1.1	 	any Special Share Award shall Vest in full on the date of the corporate event unless the Grantor (in its absolute discretion) determines otherwise; and 

  

	 	6.1.2	 	any New Plan Share Award shall Vest on the date of such corporate event. Unless the Grantor in its absolute discretion determines otherwise, the number of Shares in respect of which
the New Plan Share Award will Vest shall then be reduced pro rata to reflect the period from the Date of Grant to the date of the corporate event as compared with the period from the Date of Grant to the expiry of the Vesting Period.

  

 7 

	6.2	 	Subject to Rules 6.1, 6.3 and 6.5, if any person (either alone or together with any person acting in concert with him) obtains Control of the Company whether or not as a result of making a
General Offer (or having obtained Control of the Company makes a General Offer) and, where there is a General Offer, any such General Offer is or becomes unconditional in all respects, Awards shall Vest on the date such person obtains Control or
such General Offer becomes unconditional in all respects, as the case may be. 

  

	6.3	 	Subject to Rule 6.1, if any person becomes bound or entitled to acquire Shares under sections 979 to 982 of the Companies Act 2006, Awards shall Vest on the date on which that person becomes
so bound or entitled. 

  

	6.4	 	Subject to Rules 6.1 and 6.5, if under section 425 of the Companies Act 1985 (or section 899 of the Companies Act 2006 as and when that provision comes into force), the Court sanctions a
compromise or arrangement between the Company and its members which if it becomes effective would result in a person obtaining Control of the Company or where the Grantor determines that Participants could be unfairly disadvantaged if the Awards did
not Vest, Awards shall Vest on the date of such Court sanction. 

  

	6.5	 	If the Grantor resolves that, in its reasonable opinion, there would be a loss of corporation tax deduction pursuant to Schedule 23 of the Finance Act 2003 if Awards were to Vest on or
following the event described in Rule 6.1.2 or 6.4 then the Grantor may resolve that the Awards shall Vest otherwise in accordance with Rule 6.1.2 or 6.4 but from such earlier date as the Grantor shall specify. 

  

	6.6	 	Subject to Rule 6.1, if the Company passes a resolution for voluntary winding up, Awards shall Vest on the date of such resolution. 

  

	6.7	 	Subject to Rule 6.1, if the Company has been or will be affected by any demerger, dividend in specie, super dividend or other transaction which will adversely affect the current or future
value of any Awards, the Grantor may, acting fairly and reasonably, determine the extent to which Awards should Vest. 

  

	6.8	 	In the event of an Internal Reorganisation, where the Grantor determines that this Rule 6.8 shall apply, an existing Award shall not Vest in accordance with Rules 6.1.2, 6.3 or 6.4 but, with
the agreement of the Acquiring Company (as defined in the definition of “Internal Reorganisation”), shall be automatically released in consideration for the grant of a new Award (“New Award”) which is determined by Grantor
to be equivalent to the existing Award but relates to shares in a different company (whether the Acquiring Company itself or some other company). 

  

	6.9	 	For the purposes of Rule 6.8, the provisions of the Plan shall be construed as if: 

  

	 	6.9.1	 	the New Award is an Award granted under the Plan on the same date as the existing Award; 

  

	 	6.9.2	 	unless the Grantor determines otherwise, the references to “the Company” are to the company over whose shares the New Award is granted in accordance with Rule 6.8;

  

	 	6.9.3	 	the original Vesting Period shall continue to apply unless the Grantor determines that it would be appropriate for it to be reduced; and 

  

	 	6.9.4	 	the New Award shall not Vest nor lapse by virtue of the event pursuant to which it was granted. 

  

 8 

	7	 	LAPSE OF AWARDS 

  

	7.1	 	Awards shall lapse on the occurrence of the earliest of the following events: 

  

	 	7.1.1	 	pursuant to Rule 5 at the time, and to the extent that, the Grantor determines that the Award shall not Vest; 

  

	 	7.1.2	 	the Participant ceasing to hold an office or employment with a Group Member in any circumstances except where Rule 5.1 applies or a discretion is exercised under Rule 5.2;

  

	 	7.1.3	 	pursuant to Rule 6, at the time, and to the extent, that the Grantor determines that the Award shall not Vest pursuant to Rule 6.1, save where the Award is released in consideration of the
grant of a New Award pursuant to Rule 6.8; 

  

	 	7.1.4	 	the making of an order by the Court for the compulsory winding-up of the Company; 

  

	 	7.1.5	 	the Participant being deprived of the legal or beneficial ownership of the Award by operation of law, or doing or omitting to do anything which causes him to be so deprived;

  

	 	7.1.6	 	the Participant being declared bankrupt; 

  

	 	7.1.7	 	the Participant purporting to transfer or dispose of his Award or any part of it other than in accordance with Rule 2.9. 

  

	8	 	TRANSFER OF SHARES 

  

	8.1	 	Awards may only be satisfied by the transfer of existing Shares. 

  

	8.2	 	Subject to Rules 2.10, 8.3 and 9, where an Award has Vested, the Grantor shall, within thirty days thereafter, procure the transfer to the Participant (or his nominee) of the number of Shares
in respect of which the Award has Vested provided that the Grantor is satisfied that any Relevant Tax due to be reimbursed or paid to a Group Member and/or the Trustees pursuant to Rule 5 has been so reimbursed or paid or, where relevant,
appropriate arrangements have been made for such reimbursement or payment. 

  

	8.3	 	The transfer of Shares under this Plan shall be subject to obtaining any approval or consent required by the United Kingdom Listing Authority (or other relevant authority), any code adopted
by the Company and based on the “Model Code” on directors’ dealings in securities or any applicable laws or regulations (whether in the UK or overseas). 

  

	8.4	 	Subject to Rule 11.3 the Company shall pay any stamp duty arising on the transfer of Shares under this Plan. 

  

	9	 	CASH EQUIVALENCE 

  

	9.1	 	Where an Award has Vested the underlying Shares have not yet been transferred to the Participant (or his nominee), the Grantor may, at its absolute discretion, determine that the Participant
shall instead receive a cash sum equal to the Total Market Value of some or all of the Shares which would otherwise have been transferred to him (or his nominee) and Total Market Value shall mean the Market Value of the Shares on the date on which
the Award Vests. 

  

	9.2	 	Any cash sum paid under Rule 9.1 (which shall be in full and final settlement of the Participant’s right to acquire the number of Shares by reference to which the cash sum is calculated)
shall be paid net of any tax, national insurance, social security or other levy which the Grantor reasonably determines should be deducted from that cash sum. 

  

 9 

	10	 	ADJUSTMENTS 

  

	    	 	The number of Shares subject to an Award may be adjusted in such manner as the Grantor shall determine following any capitalisation issue, demerger, any offer or invitation made by way of
rights issue, subdivision, consolidation, reduction, other variation in the share capital of the Company or any other exceptional event which in the reasonable opinion of the Grantor justifies such an adjustment. 

  

	11	 	ADMINISTRATION 

  

	11.1	 	The Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board shall have full authority, consistent with the Plan, to administer the Plan, including authority to interpret and construe any provision
of the Plan and to adopt such regulations for administering the Plan. Decisions of the Board shall be final and binding on all parties. 

  

	11.2	 	Any notice or other communication under or in connection with the Plan may be given by personal delivery or by sending the same by electronic means or 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, or, where he is a director or employee of a Group Member, either to his last known address or to the address of the place of
business at which he performs the whole or substantially the whole of the duties of his office or employment, and where a notice or other communication is given by post, it shall be deemed to have been received 72 hours after it was put into the
post properly addressed and stamped, and if by electronic means, when the sender receives electronic confirmation of delivery or if not available, 24 hours after sending the notice. 

  

	11.3	 	The Participating Companies shall bear the costs of administering the Plan in such proportions as may be determined by the Board. 

  

	11.4	 	The Company and any Subsidiary of the Company may provide money to the trustees of any trust or any other person to enable them or him to acquire Shares to be held for the purposes of the
Plan, or enter into any guarantee or indemnity for those purposes, to the extent permitted by UK company law. In addition, the Company may require any Subsidiary to enter into such other agreement or agreements as it shall deem necessary to oblige
such Subsidiary to reimburse the Company for any other amounts paid by the Company hereunder, directly or indirectly in respect of such Subsidiary’s employees. 

  

	11.5	 	To the extent that any amount is expressed in a currency other than pounds sterling, for the purposes of the Plan, it shall be converted into pounds sterling at the mid-market spot rate for
the relevant currency (as published by the Financial Times) at the close of business on such Dealing Day as the Grantor shall determine. 

  

	12	 	ALTERATIONS 

  

	12.1	 	Subject to Rule 12.2, the Board may at any time (but only with the prior consent of the Trustees if there are subsisting Awards which they have made, have agreed to satisfy or which will be
affected by the alteration or addition) alter or add to all or any of the provisions of the Plan in any respect. 

  

	12.2	 	Subject to Rule 12.3, no alteration or addition shall be made under Rule 12.1 which would materially abrogate or adversely affect the subsisting rights of a Participant unless all of the
Participants who would be affected by the proposed alteration, deletion or addition have been invited to indicate whether or not they approve the proposed alteration or addition and the proposed alteration or addition is approved by at least 75% (by
value of subsisting Awards) of the Participants who have provided such an indication. 

  

 10 

	12.3	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan other than Rule 12.1, the Board may, in respect of Awards granted to Eligible Employees who are or who may become subject to taxation outside
the United Kingdom on their remuneration amend or add to the provisions of the Plan and the terms of Awards as it considers necessary or desirable to take account of or to mitigate or to comply with relevant overseas taxation, securities or exchange
control laws provided that the terms of Awards granted to such Eligible Employees are not overall more favourable than the terms of Awards granted to other Eligible Employees. 

  

	13	 	LEGAL ENTITLEMENT 

  

	13.1	 	For the purposes of this rule, “Employee” means any Participant, Eligible Employee or any other person. 

  

	13.2	 	This Rule 13 applies: 

  

	 	13.2.1	 	whether the Grantor has full discretion in the operation of the Plan, or whether the Grantor could be regarded as being subject to any obligations in the operation of the Plan;

  

	 	13.2.2	 	during an Employee’s employment or employment relationship; and 

  

	 	13.2.3	 	after the termination of an Employee’s employment or employment relationship, whether the termination is lawful or unlawful. 

  

	13.3	 	Nothing in the Plan or in any instrument executed pursuant to it forms part of the contract of employment or employment relationship of an Employee nor will it confer on any person any right
to continue in employment, nor will it affect the right of any Group Member to terminate the employment of any person without liability at any time with or without cause, nor will it impose upon the Grantor or any other person any duty or liability
whatsoever (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) in connection with: 

  

	 	13.3.1	 	the lapsing of any Award pursuant to the Plan; 

  

	 	13.3.2	 	the failure or refusal to exercise any discretion under the Plan; and/or 

  

	 	13.3.3	 	an Employee ceasing to hold office or employment for any reason whatever. 

  

	13.4	 	Awards shall not (except as may be required by taxation law) form part of the emoluments of individuals or count as wages or remuneration for pension or other purposes.

  

	13.5	 	The rights and obligations arising from the employment relationship between the Employee and any Group Member are separate from, and are not affected by, the Plan. Participation in the Plan
does not create any right to, or expectation of, continued employment or a continued employment relationship. 

  

	13.6	 	Any Employee who ceases to be an officer or employee with any Group Member as a result of the termination and/or giving of notice of termination of his office or employment for any reason and
however that termination and/or giving of notice of termination occurs, whether lawfully or otherwise, shall not be entitled and shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement by way of damages for dismissal or by way of compensation for
loss of office or employment or otherwise to any sum, damages or other benefits to compensate that Employee for the loss or alteration of any rights, benefits or expectations in relation to any Award, the Plan or any instrument executed pursuant to
it. 

  

	13.7	 	No Employee is entitled to participate in the Plan, or be considered for participation in it, at a particular level or at all. The grant of Awards on a particular basis in any year does not
create any right to or expectation of the grant of Awards on the same basis, or at all, in any future year. 

  

 11 

	13.8	 	Without prejudice to an Employee’s rights arising pursuant to a granted Award (subject to and in accordance with the express terms of the Award and the Rules), no Employee has any rights
in respect of the exercise or omission to exercise any discretion, or the making or omission to make any decision, relating to an Award. Any and all discretions, decisions or omissions relating to an Award may operate to the disadvantage of the
Employee, even if this could be regarded as capricious or unreasonable, or could be regarded as in breach of any implied term between the Employee and any Group Member, including any implied duty of trust and confidence. Any such implied term is
excluded and overridden by this Rule. 

  

	13.9	 	No Employee has any right to compensation for any loss in relation to the Plan, including: 

  

	 	13.9.1	 	any loss or reduction of any rights or expectations under the Plan in any circumstances or for any reason (including lawful or unlawful termination of employment or the employment
relationship); 

  

	 	13.9.2	 	any exercise of a discretion or a decision taken in relation to an Award or to the Plan, or any failure to exercise a discretion or take a decision; 

  

	 	13.9.3	 	the operation, suspension, termination or amendment of the Plan. 

  

	13.10	 	Participation in the Plan is permitted only on the basis that the Employee accepts all the provisions of the Rules, including in particular this Rule. By participating in the Plan, an
Employee waives all rights under the Plan, other than rights arising pursuant to a granted Award (subject to and in accordance with the express terms of the Award and the Rules), in consideration for, and as a condition of, the grant of an Award
under the Plan. 

  

	13.11	 	Each of the provisions of this Rule is entirely separate and independent from each of the other provisions. If any provision is found to be invalid then it will be deemed never to have been
part of these rules and to the extent that it is possible to do so, this will not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the remaining provisions. 

  

	14	 	GENERAL 

  

	14.1	 	The Plan shall terminate upon the tenth anniversary of its approval by the Company or at any earlier time by the passing of a resolution by the Board or an ordinary resolution of the Company
in general meeting. Termination of the Plan shall be without prejudice to the subsisting rights of Participants. 

  

	14.2	 	By participating in the Plan, a Participant consents to the holding and processing of personal data provided by the Participant to the Company for all purposes relating to the operation of
the Plan, including, but not limited to administering and maintaining Participant records, providing information to the Trustee, registrars, brokers, savings carrier or other third party administrators of the Plan, providing information to future
purchasers of the Company or the business in which the Participant works and transferring information about the Participant to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area. 

  

	14.3	 	No third party will have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Plan (without prejudice to any right of a third party which exists other
than under that Act). 

  

	14.4	 	These Rules shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any person referred to in this Plan submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English
courts.

 “For purposes of this Sub-Plan, the number of Shares subject to a New Plan Share Award shall be calculated by reference to such number of Shares (rounded down
to the nearest whole number of Shares) the aggregate Market Value of which on the proposed Date of Grant is equivalent to the value of such percentage of an Eligible Employee’s Actual Bonus that has been determined in the sole discretion of
Grantor, and made irrevocable no later than the date the Participant obtains a legally binding right to such Actual Bonus.”

quotations of the Shares as derived from The Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five Dealing Days starting on the day the Shares are first quoted ex-dividend in respect of that dividend. Alternatively, the Grantor may determine on the Date
of Grant that the Participant shall receive dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of Shares subject to an Award on such other terms as the Grantor shall, in its absolute discretion, determine including making such adjustment as is necessary

with the period from the Date of Grant to the expiry of the Vesting Period. To the extent that distribution of Shares in respect of Awards under this Rule 5.1.1 upon cessation of employment, other than by reason of by death or disability, is a
distribution of deferred compensation subject to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, such distribution shall, in the case of “specified employees”, as defined in section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, be delayed for six
months;”

	1.14	 	The following shall be substituted for Rule 6.1:

Change in Control. Unless the Grantor in its absolute discretion determines otherwise, the number of Shares in respect of which any New Plan Share Award will Vest

	4.	 	LAPSE / VESTING OF AWARDS

 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, the Qualified Free Share Award shall Vest 30 months after the Date of Grant or
such other period as may be set by Grantor but in any case not before the second (2nd) anniversary of the Date of Grant, except as otherwise provided in this
Addendum. 
  

	4.2	 	Vesting in specific cases 

  
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan and this Addendum to the contrary, Rule 5.1. of the Plan shall be amended as follows: 
  
 “In case of Death of a Participant prior to the end of the Vesting Period, his Award shall not be subject to the Vesting Period and consequently will Vest in full on the date
of his death. Consequently, Shares corresponding to vested Qualified Free Share Awards will be transferred prior to the expiry of a 6 month period following the Participant’s death. 
  
 In case of Disability of a Participant prior to the end of the Vesting Period, his Awards will Vest on the date of cessation of employment or
office, pro rata to the period from the Date of Grant to the date of cessation of employment or office with a Group Member as compared with the period from the Date of Grant to the expiry of the Vesting Period, unless the
Grantor in its absolute discretion determines otherwise. The required degree of Disability is such as defined at the second or third categories at article L.341-4 of the French Social Security Code.”  
  
 In case of illness or injury, in each case as evidenced to the satisfaction of the Grantor, in case of
redundancy, (within the meaning of the UK Employment Rights Act 1996 or where appropriate, its equivalent in other jurisdictions), or in case of retirement, of a Participant, prior to the end of the Vesting Period, the Awards will Vest on the date
of cessation of employment or office, pro rata to the period from the Date of Grant to the date of cessation of employment or office with a Group Member as compared with the period from the Date of Grant to the expiry of the Vesting Period,
unless the Grantor in its absolute discretion determines otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary such a decision may not reduce the Vesting Period below 2 years. As a result, in a situation where such cessation would
occur within a two year Vesting Period, the Board may recognize a final acquisition of rights to be transferred Shares for free upon expiry of a 2 year Vesting Period.” 
  

	4.3	 	Vesting in case of Corporate Transactions 

  
 Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary of Rule 6 of the Plan, pursuant to article L.225-197-1 of the French
Commercial Code, the Qualified Free Share Awards acquired by the Participants shall not Vest prior to the Date of Grant’s second (2nd) anniversary.

  
 Notwithstanding any provisions to
the contrary of Rule 6 of the Plan, on the occurrence of any corporate event, the Board may decide to consolidate the Participant’s rights to receive Shares pursuant to a Qualified Free Share Award upon expiry of a time Vesting Period or the
Date of Grant’s second (2nd) anniversary. Alternatively, the Board may decide that the Qualified Free Share Award will Vest immediately and that (unless the
Board in its absolute discretion determines otherwise) the number of Shares in respect of which the Qualified Free Share Award will Vest shall be reduced pro rata to reflect the period from the Date of Grant to the date of the corporate event
as compared with the period from the Date of Grant to the expiry of the Vesting Period, but in this case, the French employer only will bear the employer and employee social charges resulting from the non respect of a minimum 2-year Vesting Period.

  
 Société d’Avocat TAJ

 Further to Rule 6 of the Plan when the Board decides on an exchange of the Qualified Free Share Awards such a decision may be taken
in accordance with the provisions of article L.225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, so that the exchange of Qualified Free Shares is tax neutral. 
  

	4.4	 	Lapse of Awards 

  
 Rule 7.1.1 of the Plan shall be amended as follows: 
  
 “pursuant to Rule 5.1, except in the case of Death, at the time, and to extent that, the Grantor determines that the Award shall not Vest;” 
  

	5.	 	SHARE SALE RESTRICTIONS 

  

	5.1	 	General rules—Share Sale Restriction Period / Transfer of Shares 

  
 Rule 8.2 shall be amended as follows: 
  
 “Subject to Rule 8.3 of the Plan, where a Qualified Free Share Award has Vested, the Grantor shall, within thirty days thereafter, procure the transfer to the Participant or his nominee, as determined by the Grantor, of
the number of Shares in respect of which the Qualified Free Share Award has Vested provided that the Grantor is satisfied that any Relevant Tax due to be reimbursed or paid to a Group Member pursuant to Rule 5 has been reimbursed or paid or,
where relevant, appropriate arrangements have been made for such reimbursement or payment. The Shares acquired pursuant to a Qualified Free Share Award shall be subject to a Share Sale Restriction Period which is a minimum of two (2) years
commencing from the end of the Vesting Period, during which the Shares may not be sold other than in the circumstances set out at Articles 5.2. and 5.3. of this Addendum. 
  

 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, Shares acquired pursuant to a Qualified Free Share Award shall not be sold during the following periods:

  

	 	•	 	 within 10 Dealing Days preceding and following the publication of the annual consolidated accounts, if applicable, or the annual accounts of the Company; and

  

	 	•	 	 within a period beginning with the date at which the Company’s executive directors become aware of any information, which, were it to be public knowledge, could have a
significant impact on the Company’s Share price and ending 10 Dealing Days after the information becomes public knowledge.” 

  

	5.2.	 	In case of Participant’s Death 

  
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan and this Addendum to the contrary, in the event of the Participant’s death during the 2-year Share Sale Restriction Period, the
personal representative in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution shall not be subject to the outstanding Share Sale Restriction Period, the Shares being freely transferable upon Vesting or upon the Participant’s death.

  

	5.3.	 	In case of Participant’s Disability 

  
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan and this Addendum to the contrary, in the event of the Participant’s Disability during the 2-year Share Sale Restriction Period, the
Participant shall not be subject to the outstanding Share Sale Restriction Period and consequently, the Shares acquired under the Plan (i.e. upon Vesting date) are freely transferable. The required degree of Disability is such as defined at the
second or third categories at article L.341-4 of the French Social Security Code. 
  
 Société d’Avocat TAJ 
  

 20 

 [If applicable 
  

	5.4.	 	Qualified Free Shares granted to Corporate Officers 

  
 By exception to the Share Sale Restriction Period set forth in Clause 5.1 of this Addendum, the Board may either decide that no Share shall be sold by eligible executive directors
of French subsidiaries prior to their removal from office (“révocation en qualité de mandataire social”) or determine the number of Shares which have to be held until their removal from office
(“révocation en qualité de mandataire social”). The renewal of mandate does not constitute a “removal from office”. A removal from office must be valid pursuant to French laws and regulations.]

  

	5.5.	 	Share Sale Restriction in case of Corporate Transactions 

  
 Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary of Rule 6 of the Plan, pursuant to article L.225-197-1 of the French
Commercial Code, the Participants shall not sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares delivered upon Vesting of the Qualified Free Share Awards prior to the Vesting date’s second (2nd) anniversary. However, the Board may decide in case of occurrence of any corporate event that the Participant will not have to respect the Share Sale Restriction Period and therefore have the right to sell the Shares
freely before the end of the Share Sale Restriction Period, but in this case, the French employer only will bear the employer and employee social charges resulting from the Share Sale Restriction Period not being respected. 
  
 Further to Rule 6 of the Plan when the Board decides on an exchange of the Qualified Free Share Awards
such a decision may be taken in accordance with the provisions of article L.225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, so that the exchange of Qualified Free Shares is tax neutral. 
  

	6.	 	FORM OF THE SETTLEMENT OF THE AWARD 

  
 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in particular (but not limited to) Rules 2.5.4 and 2.8 of the Plan, a Qualified Free Share Award shall not give right to
any dividend nor any dividend equivalent, such as additional Shares, related to the period preceding Vesting date. Any reference to any dividend or any dividend equivalent is therefore deleted. 
  
 Rules 2.11, 2.12 and 9 of the Plan are deleted. The Qualified Free Share Award subject to this Addendum
shall exclusively be made in Shares. Qualified Free Share Awards shall not be settled in cash. 
  

	7.	 	EXCHANGE RATE 

  
 Rule 11.5 of the Plan shall be amended as follows: 
  
 “The exchange rate to be used to make a currency conversion with respect to a Qualified Free Share Award will be the one listed by the Central European Bank at the date of the
considered event.” 
  

	8.	 	TAXES 

  
 The following provision is added to the end of Rule 4 of the Plan: 
  

 “The French employer shall be responsible for withholding employee’s social security charges in the event that the 2-year Share Sale Restriction Period is
not enforced against the employees who have received a Qualified Free Share Award under the Plan. 
  
 Société d’Avocat TAJ 
  

 21 

 However, in such event, the Participant remains responsible for bearing employee social charges exclusively and accepts any
corresponding withholding from their proceeds, except in the circumstance set out in Clause 5.5 of this Addendum (Board decides to allow the Share Sale Restriction Period not to be respected). Employer social security charges on such gains
shall always remain a liability of the employer.”

	1.2	 	The purpose of this Sub-Plan is to ensure that Awards made under the Plan will comply with the requirements of section 409A of Title 26 of the United States Code (“the Internal

	  	any tax, social security or other levy arising on or in connection with the grant, surrender, Vesting or distribution of an Award for which the person entitled to the Award is liable and for which any
Group Member or the Trustee is liable, required or otherwise obliged, to account to any relevant authority;
			
	 	 	 “Substantial Risk of Forfeiture”
	  	its meaning for the purposes of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code; and

	3	 	TERMS APPLICABLE TO US TAXPAYERS 

  

	3.1	 	The following shall be substituted for Rule 2.4: 

  
 “For purposes of this Sub-Plan, the number of Shares subject to a New Plan Share Award shall be calculated by reference to such number of Shares (rounded down
to the nearest whole number of Shares) the aggregate Market Value of which on the proposed Date of Grant is equivalent to the value of such percentage of an Eligible Employee’s Actual Bonus that has been determined in the sole discretion of
Grantor, and made irrevocable no later than the date the Participant obtains a legally binding right to such Actual Bonus.” 
  

 23 

	3.2	 	The following shall be substituted for Rule 2.8: 

  
 “An Award may be granted on terms that, when Shares in respect of such Award are distributed, the number of Shares subject to the Award shall be increased by
such number of Shares as could have been acquired with the amount of each cash dividend for which the dividend record date falls between the Date of Grant and the date of distribution, in each case calculated using the average of the middle market
quotations of the Shares as derived from The Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five Dealing Days starting on the day the Shares are first quoted ex-dividend in respect of that dividend. Alternatively, the Grantor may determine on the Date
of Grant that the Participant shall receive dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of Shares subject to an Award on such other terms as the Grantor shall, in its absolute discretion, determine including making such adjustment as is necessary
to reflect the fact that the dividend paid is net of tax paid (or treated as being so paid).” 
  

	3.3	 	The following shall be substituted for Rule 2.11: 

  
 “The Grantor may, at the Date of Grant, determine that an Award shall be expressed to be a right of the Participant to acquire a cash sum calculated by
reference to a notional number of Shares under Award which on distribution of the Shares in respect of such Award, delivers an amount equal to the Relevant Market Value (as defined below) of the number of notional Shares in respect of which the
relevant Award has Vested. For the purposes of this Rule 2.11, “Relevant Market Value” shall mean the Market Value of a Share on the date on which the Award is distributed, multiplied by the number of notional Shares in respect of which
such Vesting takes place.” 
  

	3.4	 	Rule 2.13 shall be deleted. 

  

	3.5	 	The following shall be substituted for Rule 3: 

  
 “For the purposes of this Sub-Plan, an Award will be deemed Vested when it is no longer subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture, which means Awards may
Vest earlier than or at the same time as distribution of the Shares subject to the Award.” 
  

	3.6	 	The following shall be substituted for Rule 5.1.1: 

  
 “any New Plan Share Award which has not Vested in accordance with Rule 3 or Rule 6 on the date of his cessation of office or employment shall Vest on the date
of such cessation. Unless the Grantor in its absolute discretion determines otherwise, the number of Shares in respect of which the New Plan Share Award will Vest shall then be reduced pro rata to the period from the Date of Grant to the date
of cessation as compared with the period from the Date of Grant to the expiry of the Vesting Period. To the extent that distribution of Shares in respect of Awards under this Rule 5.1.1 upon cessation of employment, other than by reason of by death
or disability, is a distribution of deferred compensation subject to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, such distribution shall, in the case of “specified employees”, as defined in section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, be
delayed for six months;” 
  

	3.7	 	The following shall be substituted for Rule 5.1.2: 

  
 “any Special Share Award which has not been forfeited upon cessation of employment will be deemed Vested upon such cessation of employment. For the purposes of
this Sub-Plan, Shares in respect of such Award will be distributed at the end of the original Vesting Period and not upon cessation of employment.” 
  

	3.8	 	The following shall be substituted for Rule 6.1: 

  
 “Subject to Rule 6.8, when a Change in Control of the Company occurs before Shares in respect of an Award have been distributed, any Award that has not
previously Vested shall Vest and distribution of the Shares shall occur as soon as administratively possible after the 

  

 24 

 
Change in Control. Unless the Grantor in its absolute discretion determines otherwise, the number of Shares in respect of which any New Plan Share Award will Vest
shall be reduced pro rata to reflect the period from the Date of Grant to the date of the Change in Control of the Company as compared with the period from the Date of Grant to the expiry of the Vesting Period” 
  

	3.9	 	Rules 6.2 through 6.7 of the Plan shall be deleted.
