Securities to receive, from the trust fund described in clause (a) above payment of the principal of and the interest on the Securities when such payments are due; (2) the Bank’s obligations with respect to such Securities under
Sections 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03 of the Base Indenture; and

  
 Annex A-2 

			
		  	 (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder.

shall be required, as a condition to any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, transfer, conveyance or lease contemplated thereby, to assume the obligations of the Bank to the Trustee under Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture.
		
	Form of Securities:	  	The Securities will be issued in the form of global notes that will be deposited with DTC (as defined below) on the Issue Date. Each global note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and executed and delivered in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

References to “Holder” in the sections entitled “Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of U.K.
Bail-in Power,” “Subsequent Holders’ Agreement” and “Payment of Additional Amounts” below, include Beneficial Owners of the Securities.

		
	Ranking:	  	The Securities will constitute the Bank’s direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations ranking pari passu without any preference among themselves. In the event of
the

  
 Annex A-3 

			
		  	Bank’s winding-up or administration, the Securities will rank pari passu with all of the Bank’s other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, present and future,
except such obligations as are preferred by operation of law.
		
	Optional Redemption:	  	 The Bank may redeem, at its option, in whole but not in part, the Securities then outstanding on April 12, 2022, at an amount equal to
100% of their principal amount together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) such redemption date.

 
 Unless the Bank defaults on payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to
accrue on the redemption date on the Securities called for redemption.
  
 Any
redemption of Securities pursuant to the provisions specified under this section “Optional Redemption” will also be subject to the provisions specified under the section “Notice of Redemption”.

		
	Tax Redemption:	  	 The Bank may also, at its option, at any time, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, if (A) the Bank is required to issue
definitive securities, pursuant to Section 3.05(c)(ii)(A)(x), 3.05(c)(ii)(A)(y) or 3.05(c)(ii)(B) of the Base Indenture and, as a result, the Bank is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to the
Securities; or (B) the Bank determines that as a result of a change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined below), including any treaty to which the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party, or a change
in an official application of those laws or regulations on or after the Issue Date, including a decision of any court or tribunal, which becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (and, in the case of a successor entity, which becomes effective on
or after the date of such entity’s assumption of the Bank’s obligations),
  

(1)   the Bank will, or would be required to pay Holders Additional Amounts;

 
 (2)   the Bank would not be
entitled to claim a deduction in respect of any payments in respect of the Securities in computing the Bank’s (or its) taxation liabilities or the value of the deduction would be materially reduced; or

 
 (3)   the Bank would not, as a
result of the Securities being in issue, be able to have losses or deductions set against the

  
 Annex A-4 

			
		  	      profits or gains, or profits or gains offset by the losses or
deductions, of companies with which the Bank is or would otherwise be so grouped for applicable United Kingdom tax purposes (whether under the group relief system current as at the Issue Date or any similar system or systems having like effect as
may from time to time exist),
  
 (each such change in tax law or regulation or the
official application thereof, a “Tax Event”), in each of cases (A) and (B) above, at an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal
amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption; provided that in the case of each Tax Event, the consequences of the Tax Event cannot be avoided by the Bank taking reasonable measures available to it.

 
 In each of cases (A) and (B) above, before the Bank gives a notice of redemption
pursuant to these provisions, the Bank shall be required to deliver to the Trustee a written legal opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing, chosen by the Bank, confirming that the Bank is entitled to exercise its right of redemption
pursuant to these provisions.
  
 Any successor entity that assumes the obligations of
the Bank pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Base Indenture shall also be entitled to redeem the Securities in accordance with the provisions described in this section “Tax Redemption” with respect to the issuance of definitive
securities, pursuant to the Indenture provisions referenced herein, or to any change or amendment to, or change in the application of the laws or regulations (including any treaty) of the successor entity’s jurisdiction of incorporation, which
becomes effective on or after the date of that successor entity’s assumption of the Bank’s obligations.
  

Any redemption of Securities pursuant to the provisions specified under this section “Tax Redemption” will also be subject to the provisions
specified under the section “Notice of Redemption”.
  
 For purposes of
the Securities, the text of Section 11.08 and Section 11.09 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety by the terms specified in this section “Tax
Redemption”.

  
 Annex A-5 

			
		
	Notice of Redemption:	  	 Any redemption of the Securities shall be subject to the Bank’s giving not less than fifteen (15) days’, nor more than sixty
(60) days’, prior notice to the Holders of such Securities via DTC (as defined below) or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the Securities are held in definitive form, to the Holders at their addresses shown on the register for the
Securities) (such notice being irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the following paragraph) specifying the Bank’s election to redeem the Securities and the date fixed for such redemption. Notice by DTC to participating
institutions and by these participants to street name Holders of beneficial interests in the relevant Securities will be made according to arrangements among them and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements.

 
 If the Bank has elected to redeem the Securities but prior to the payment of the
redemption amount with respect to such redemption the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority (as defined below) exercises its U.K. Bail-in Power (as defined below) in respect of the Securities, the relevant
redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the redemption amount will be due and payable.
  

For purposes of the Securities, the notice period and the provisions specified under this section “Notice of Redemption” replace any different
notice period and any other provisions set forth in Article 11 of the Base Indenture, to the extent such provisions of the Indenture are conflicting.

		
	Subsequent Repurchases:	  	The Bank or any member of the Group (as defined below) may purchase or otherwise acquire any of the outstanding Securities at any price in the open market or otherwise.
		
	Payment of Additional Amounts:	  	The Bank will pay any amounts to be paid by it on the Securities without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions
or withholdings (“Taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein that has the power to tax (each, a “Taxing
Jurisdiction”), unless the deduction or withholding is required by law. If at any time a Taxing Jurisdiction requires the Bank to deduct or withhold Taxes, the Bank will pay the additional amounts of, or in respect of, the principal of, and any
interest on, the Securities (“Additional Amounts”) that are necessary so that the net amounts paid to the Holders, after the deduction or withholding,

  
 Annex A-6 

			
		  	 shall equal the amounts which would have been payable had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, the Bank will not pay
Additional Amounts for Taxes that are payable because:
  
 (i) the Holder of the
Securities is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engages in business or maintains a permanent establishment or is physically present in, a Taxing Jurisdiction requiring that deduction or withholding, or otherwise has some connection with the
Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of the Securities, or the collection of any payment of, or in respect of, principal or any interest on the Securities;
  

(ii) except in the case of winding-up of the Bank in England, the Securities are presented for payment in the United
Kingdom;
  
 (iii) the Securities are presented for payment more than thirty
(30) days after the date payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to the Additional Amounts on presenting the Security for payment at the close of such 30-day period;
  
 (iv) the Holder of the Securities
or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on the Securities failed to make any necessary claim or to comply with any certification, identification or other requirements concerning the nationality,
residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner, if such claim or compliance is required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a condition to relief
or exemption from such Taxes; or
  
 (v) if the Taxes would not have been imposed or
would have been excluded under one of the preceding clauses (i) to (iv) if the beneficial owner of, or person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, the Securities had been the Holder of the Securities.

 
 Whenever in the Securities it is mentioned the payment of the principal of, or any
interest on, or in respect of, the Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable.

 
 Any amounts to be paid by the Bank or any Paying Agent on the Securities will be paid
net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the

  
 Annex A-7 

			
		  	 “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to
Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (or any law
implementing such an intergovernmental agreement) (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”), and neither the Bank nor any Paying Agent will be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding Tax.

 
 Any Paying Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment
which it makes under the Securities and the Indenture for or on account of (i) any present or future taxes, duties or charges if and to the extent so required by any applicable law and (ii) any FATCA Withholding Tax (together,
“Applicable Law”). In either case, the Paying Agent shall make any payment after a deduction or withholding has been made pursuant to Applicable Law and shall report to the relevant authorities the amount so deducted or withheld. In all
cases, the Paying Agent shall have no obligation to gross up any payment made subject to any deduction or withholding pursuant to Applicable Law. In addition, amounts deducted or withheld by the Paying Agent under this paragraph will be treated as
paid to the Holder of the Securities, and the Bank will not pay Additional Amounts in respect of such deduction or withholding, except to the extent the provisions specified under this section “Payment of Additional Amounts”
hereunder explicitly provide otherwise.
  
 For purposes of the Securities, the text
of Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety by the terms specified in this section “Payment of Additional Amounts”.

		
	Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of U.K. Bail-in Power:	  	Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Bank and any Holder of the Securities, by acquiring the Securities, each Holder of the Securities acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and
consents to, the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority that may result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or
interest on, the Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Bank or another person (and the issue to, or conferral
on, the Holder of the Securities of such shares, securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the

  
 Annex A-8 

			
		  	 maturity of the Securities, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes payable,
including by suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. Bail-in Power may be exercised by means of a variation of the terms of the Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the Relevant
U.K. Resolution Authority of such U.K. Bail-in Power. Each Holder of the Securities further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the Holders of the Securities are subject to, and will be varied, if
necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, this consent and acknowledgment is not a waiver of any rights
Holders of the Securities may have at law if and to the extent that any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority in breach of laws applicable in England.

 
 For these purposes, a “U.K. Bail-in
Power” is any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification and/or suspension power existing from time to time under any laws, regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions
and/or investment firms incorporated in the United Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to the Bank or other members of the Group (as defined below), including but not limited to any such laws, regulations, rules or requirements
that are implemented, adopted or enacted within the context of any applicable European Union directive or regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and
investment firms, and/or within the context of a U.K. resolution regime under the U.K. Banking Act 2009, as the same has been or may be amended from time to time (whether pursuant to the U.K. Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013, secondary
legislation or otherwise, pursuant to which obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, cancelled, amended, transferred and/or converted into shares or other securities
or obligations of the obligor or any other person (and a reference to the “Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority” is to any authority with the ability to exercise a U.K. Bail-in Power).

 
 No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the
Securities shall become due and payable after the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Bank under
the

  
 Annex A-9 

			
		  	 laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the European Union applicable to the Bank.

 

		  	 By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities, to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(the “Trust Indenture Act”), waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or
abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities.

 
 Upon the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by
the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, the Bank shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power for purposes of
notifying Holders of such occurrence. The Bank shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes.
  

By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the U.K.
Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities shall not give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Defaults) and Section 315(c) (Duties
of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act.
  
 By its acquisition of
the Securities, each Holder of the Securities acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, (a) the
Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders of the Securities under Section 5.12 (Control by Holders) of the Base Indenture, which section authorizes Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities to direct certain actions relating to the Securities, and (b) the Indenture shall impose no duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power
by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority in respect of the
Securities, the Securities remain outstanding (for example, if the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power results in only a partial write-down of the principal of such Securities), then the Trustee’s duties
under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Bank and the

  
 Annex A-10 

			
		  	 Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture, or an amendment thereto.

 

		  	 By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities shall be deemed to have (a) consented to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities and (b) authorized, directed and
requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds the Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in
Power with respect to the Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder or the Trustee.
  

The exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities will
not constitute an Event of Default (as this term is defined in the Indenture).
  
 The
Bank’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.07 the Base Indenture shall survive the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with
respect to the Securities.
  
 “Group” refers to Barclays PLC (or any
successor entity) and its consolidated subsidiaries.

		
	Subsequent Holders’ Agreement:	  	Holders of Securities that acquire such Securities in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge, agree to be bound by, and consent to, the same provisions specified herein to the same extent as the Holders of the
Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by, and consent to, the terms of the Securities, including in relation to the U.K. Bail-in Power.
		
	Business Day:	  	Any weekday, other than one on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in London, England or in the City of New York, United States.
		
	Denomination:	  	$200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

	Definitions:	  	All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

 BARCLAYS BANK PLC, a company duly incorporated and existing under the laws of England and Wales (herein called
the “Bank”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of US$[•] on
May 12, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), except as otherwise provided herein, and to pay interest thereon, in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest shall accrue on this Security from May 12, 2020 or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and shall be paid semi-annually in arrear on May 12 and November 12 of each year (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”), commencing on November 12, 2020 and ending on the Maturity Date, except as otherwise provided herein, at the rate of 1.700% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.

 If any scheduled Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next
succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment shall not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled Interest Payment Date. If the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and
principal and/or any amount payable upon redemption or repayment of the Securities will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after such Maturity Date or date of
redemption or repayment. Unless the Bank defaults on payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the redemption date on the Securities called for redemption. A “Business Day” means any weekday, other than one
on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in London, England or in the City of New York, United States. 

Subject to the limitations specified on the reverse of this Security, interest on the Securities shall be computed and payable in arrear and
on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each. 
 The interest so payable, and
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date (or, if the Securities are held in definitive form, the 15th Business Day preceding each Interest Payment Date). Any such interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of 

  
 3 

 
Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the Securities shall become due and payable after the
exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Bank under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and
the European Union applicable to the Bank. 
 Payments of principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts and such payments shall be made through one or more Paying Agents appointed under the Indenture to the Holder or Holders of
this Security. Initially, the Paying Agent and the Senior Debt Security Registrar for the Securities shall be The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, One Canada Square, London E14 5AL, United Kingdom, and the Place of Payment in respect of the
Securities shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, which as of the date hereof is the office or agency of the Trustee located at said address. The Bank may change the Paying Agent or, subject to Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture,
the Place of Payment without prior notice to the Holders of the Securities, and in such an event the Bank may act as Paying Agent or Security Registrar. Payments of principal of and interest on the Securities shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal, this Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. 

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, as defined herein. 
 THIS SECURITY IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE UNITED
STATES FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE UNITED KINGDOM. 
 Unless the
certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof, directly or through an Authenticating Agent, by manual, facsimile or electronic signature of an authorized signatory, this Security shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 (Reverse of Security) 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Bank (herein called the “Securities” and each, a
“Security”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under and governed by the Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2004 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Bank and The Bank of New
York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture entered into on February 22, 2018 (the “Supplemental
Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, herein called the “Indenture”) and under an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Sections 1.02, 3.01 and 3.03 of the Base Indenture dated May 12, 2020 (the
“Officer’s Certificate”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Bank, the Trustee, the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate may conflict with the
provisions set forth in this Security, the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate shall control for purposes of this Security. 
 This
Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount of US$1,750,000,000, which amount may be increased at the option of the Bank if in the future it determines that it may wish to issue additional
Securities of this series. References herein to “this series” mean the series designated on the face hereof. 
 For
purposes of this Security: 
 “Beneficial Owners” means (a) with respect to Global Securities, the beneficial owners
of the Securities prior to the Maturity Date and (b) with respect to definitive Securities, the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered in the Senior Debt Security Register. 

“DTC” means The Depository Trust Company, or any successor clearing system. 

“Group” refers to Barclays PLC (or any successor entity) and its consolidated subsidiaries. 

“U.K. Bail-In Power” means any
write-down, conversion, transfer, modification and/or suspension power existing from time to time under any laws, regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution of banks, banking group
companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the United Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to the Bank or other members of the Group, including but not limited to any such laws, regulations, rules or
requirements that are implemented, adopted or enacted within the context of any applicable European Union directive or regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit
institutions and investment firms, and/or within the context of a U.K. resolution regime under the U.K. Banking Act 2009, as the same has been or may be amended from time to time (whether pursuant to the U.K. Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act
2013, secondary legislation or otherwise, pursuant to which obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, cancelled, amended, transferred and/or converted into

  
 6 

 
shares or other securities or obligations of the obligor or any other person (and a reference to the “Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority” is to any authority with the ability to
exercise a U.K. Bail-In Power). References to “Holder” in this paragraph include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 

The Bank shall pay any amounts to be paid by it on the Securities without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present
or future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political
subdivision or authority thereof or therein that has the power to tax (each, a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the deduction or withholding is required by law. If at any time a Taxing Jurisdiction requires the Bank to deduct or withhold
Taxes, the Bank shall pay the additional amounts of, or in respect of, the principal of, and any interest on, the Securities (“Additional Amounts”) that are necessary so that the net amounts paid to the Holders, after the deduction or
withholding, shall equal the amounts which would have been payable had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, the Bank shall not pay Additional Amounts for Taxes that are payable because: 

(i) the Holder of the Securities is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engages in business or maintains a permanent establishment or
is physically present in, a Taxing Jurisdiction requiring that deduction or withholding, or otherwise has some connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of the Securities, or the collection of any payment of, or in
respect of, principal of or any interest on, the Securities; 
 (ii) except in the case of
winding-up of the Bank in England, the Securities are presented for payment in the United Kingdom; 

(iii) the Securities are presented for payment more than thirty (30) days after the date payment became due or was provided for,
whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to the Additional Amounts on presenting the Security for payment at the close of such 30-day period; 

(iv) the Holder of the Securities or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on the Securities
failed to make any necessary claim or to comply with any certification, identification or other requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner, if such claim
or compliance is required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a condition to relief or exemption from such Taxes; or 

(v) if the Taxes would not have been imposed or would have been excluded under one of the preceding clause (i) to (iv) if the beneficial
owner of, or person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, the Securities had been the Holder of the Securities. 
 References to
“Holder” in the preceding paragraph include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 
 Whenever in the Securities it is mentioned the
payment of the principal of, or any interest on, or in respect of, the Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of 

  
 7 

 
Additional Amounts to the extent that, in context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable. 

Any amounts to be paid by the Bank or any Paying Agent on the Securities shall be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required
pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)
of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (or any law implementing such an
intergovernmental agreement) (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”), and neither the Bank nor any Paying Agent shall be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding Tax. 

Any Paying Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Securities and the Indenture
for or on account of (i) any present or future taxes, duties or charges if and to the extent so required by any applicable law and (ii) any FATCA Withholding Tax (together, “Applicable Law”). In either case, the Paying Agent
shall make any payment after a deduction or withholding has been made pursuant to Applicable Law and shall report to the relevant authorities the amount so deducted or withheld. In all cases, the Paying Agent shall have no obligation to gross up any
payment made subject to any deduction or withholding pursuant to Applicable Law. In addition, amounts deducted or withheld by the Paying Agent under this paragraph will be treated as paid to the Holder of the Securities, and the Bank will not pay
Additional Amounts in respect of such deduction or withholding, except to the extent the provisions specified in this paragraph explicitly provide otherwise. 

The Bank may, at its option, redeem the Securities then Outstanding, in whole but not in part, on April 12, 2022 at an amount equal to
100% of their principal amount together with, accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the redemption date. Unless the Bank defaults on payment of the redemption price, interest
will cease to accrue on the redemption date on the Securities called for redemption. 
 The Bank may, at its option, at any time, redeem the
Securities, in whole but not in part, if (A) the Bank is required to issue definitive securities, pursuant to Section 3.05(c)(ii)(A)(x), 3.05(c)(ii)(A)(y) or 3.05(c)(ii)(B) of the Base Indenture and, as a result, the Bank is or would be
required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities; or if (B) the Bank determines that as a result of a change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Taxing Jurisdiction, including any treaty to which the relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction is a party, or a change in an official application of those laws or regulations on or after the issue date of the Securities, including a decision of any court or tribunal, which becomes effective on or after the issue date of
the Securities (and, in the case of a successor entity, which becomes effective on or after the date of such entity’s assumption of the Bank’s obligations), 

(i) The Bank will or would be required to pay Holders Additional Amounts; 

  
 8 

 (ii) The Bank would not be entitled to claim a deduction in respect of any payments in
respect of the Securities in computing the Bank’s (or its) taxation liabilities or the value of the deduction would be materially reduced; or 

(iii) The Bank would not, as a result of the Securities being in issue, be able to have losses or deductions set against the profits or gains,
or profits or gains offset by the losses or deductions, of companies with which the Bank is or would otherwise be so grouped for applicable United Kingdom tax purposes (whether under the group relief system current as at the issue date of the
Securities or any similar system or systems having like effect as may from time to time exist), 
 (each such change in tax law or
regulation or the official application thereof, a “Tax Event”), 
 in each of cases (A) and (B) above, at an amount equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, provided that in the case of
each Tax Event, the consequences of the Tax Event cannot be avoided by the Bank taking reasonable measures available to it. 
 In each case,
before the Bank gives a notice of redemption, the Bank shall be required to deliver to the Trustee a written legal opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing, chosen by the Bank, confirming that the Bank is entitled to exercise its right
of redemption, pursuant to the relevant tax redemption provisions of the Indenture and Officer’s Certificate. 
 Any successor entity
that assumes the obligations of the Bank pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Base Indenture shall also be entitled to redeem the Securities in accordance with the provisions described in the preceding paragraph with respect to the issuance of
definitive securities, pursuant to the Indenture provisions referenced herein, or to any change or amendment to, or change in the application of the laws or regulations (including any treaty) of the successor entity’s jurisdiction of
incorporation, which becomes effective on or after the date of that successor entity’s assumption of the Bank’s obligations. 

Any redemption of the Securities shall be subject to the Bank’s giving not less than fifteen (15) days’, nor more than sixty
(60) days’, prior notice to the Holders of such Securities via DTC or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the Securities are held in definitive form, to the Holders at their addresses shown on the register for the Securities) (such
notice being irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the following paragraph) specifying the Bank’s election to redeem the Securities and the date fixed for such redemption. Notice by DTC to participating institutions and
by these participants to street name Holders of beneficial interests in the relevant Securities will be made according to arrangements among them and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. 

If the Bank has elected to redeem the Securities but prior to the payment of the redemption amount with respect to such redemption the
Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority exercises its U.K. Bail-In Power in respect of the Securities, the relevant redemption notice shall 

  
 9 

 
be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the redemption amount shall be due and payable. 

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by each Holder and Beneficial Owner pursuant to this Security, including the consents given
by such Holder and beneficial owner, shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of such Holder and Beneficial Owner. 

Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Bank and any Holder of the Securities, by acquiring the
Securities, each Holder of the Securities acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and consents to, the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority that may result in
(i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities into shares or other
securities or other obligations of the Bank or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the Holder of the Securities of such shares, securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the
Securities, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. Bail-In Power may be
exercised by means of a variation of the terms of the Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of such U.K. Bail-In Power. Each Holder of the Securities
further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the Holders of the Securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the
Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, this consent and acknowledgment is not a waiver of any rights Holders of the Securities may have at law if and to the extent that any U.K.
Bail-In Power is exercised by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority in breach of laws applicable in England. 

No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the Securities shall become due and payable after the
exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Bank under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and
the European Union applicable to the Bank. 
 By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities, to the extent permitted
by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable
for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the
Securities. 
 Upon the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority
with respect to the Securities, the Bank shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power for purposes of notifying Holders of such occurrence. The
Bank shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes. 

  
 10 

 By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities acknowledges and agrees
that the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities shall not give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Defaults)
and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 By its acquisition of the Securities, each
Holder of the Securities acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, (a) the Trustee shall not be
required to take any further directions from Holders of the Securities under Section 5.12 (Control by Holders) of the Base Indenture, which section authorizes Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities to
direct certain actions relating to the Securities, and (b) the Indenture shall impose no duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K.
Resolution Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority in respect of the Securities, the
Securities remain Outstanding (for example, if the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power results in only a partial write-down of the principal of such Securities), then the
Trustee’s duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Bank and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an amendment thereto. 

By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities shall be deemed to have (a) consented to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities and (b) authorized, directed and
requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds the Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In
Power with respect to the Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder or the Trustee. 

The exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the
Securities shall not constitute an Event of Default (as this term is defined in the Indenture). 
 References to “Holder” in each
of the nine preceding paragraphs include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 
 The Bank’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee in
accordance with Section 6.07 the Base Indenture shall survive the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities. 

Holders of Securities that acquire such Securities in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge, agree to be bound by, and consent
to, the same provisions specified in this Security and the Indenture to the same extent as the Holders of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and
agreement to be bound by, and consent to, the terms of the Securities, 

  
 11 

 
including in relation to the U.K. Bail-In Power. References to “Holder” in this paragraph include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 

The Securities shall constitute the Bank’s direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations ranking pari passu
without any preference among themselves. In the event of the Bank’s winding-up or administration, the Securities shall rank pari passu with all of the Bank’s other outstanding unsecured
and unsubordinated obligations, present and future, except such obligations as are preferred by operation of law. 
 The Indenture permits,
with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Bank and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the
Bank and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority principal amount of the Securities at any time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of each series at any time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Bank with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 As
provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and
shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, and, in the case of a proceeding for the winding-up of the Bank in
England, such proceeding is in the name and on behalf of the Trustee to the same extent (but no further or otherwise) as the Trustee would have been entitled so to do. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this
Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein. 

Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this Security, nothing shall impair the right of a Holder of this Security under the Trust
Indenture Act, absent such Holder’s consent, to sue for any payments due but unpaid with respect to this Security. 
 As provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Senior Debt Security Register, upon surrender of this 

  
 12 

 
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Bank in any place where the principal of this Security is payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Senior Debt Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 This Security, and
any other Securities of this series and of like tenor, are issuable only in registered form without coupons in initial denominations of $200,000 and increments of $1,000 thereafter. The denominations cannot be changed without the consent of the
Trustee. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Bank may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Security for
registration of transfer, the Bank, the Trustee and any agent of the Bank or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the
Bank, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Indenture and Officer’s Certificate provide
that the Bank will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of this Security (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the Security, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Securities, maintain paying agencies
and hold moneys for payment in trust) or need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each case if the Bank deposits, in trust, with the Trustee money or Government Obligations which through the payment of interest thereon
and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal of, and interest on, the Security on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of this Security and certain
other conditions are satisfied. 
 This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

			Exhibit A
		

		
			 
		

		
			TRADEWEB MARKETS INC.
		

		
			2019 OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
		

		
			RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT
		

		
			AWARD AGREEMENT
		

		
			 
		

		
			(Version 2020)
		

		
			 
		

		
			THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this  “Award Agreement”) is entered into by and among Tradeweb Markets Inc. (the “Company”) and the individual set forth on the signature page to that certain Notice of Grant (the “Notice”) to which this Award Agreement is attached.  The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereby, to the extent not controlled by the terms and conditions contained in the Plan, shall be as set forth in the Notice and this Award Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning attributed to such terms in the Notice or, if not defined therein, in the Plan.
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.         No Right to Continued Employee Status or Consultant Service
		

		
			 
		

		
			Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to the continuation of his or her employment, or, in the case of a Consultant or Director, to the continuation of his or her service arrangement, nor shall anything herein interfere with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to Terminate the Grantee.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.         Term of Restricted Stock Units
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Award Agreement shall remain in effect until the Restricted Stock Units have fully vested and been settled or been forfeited by the Grantee as provided in this Award Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.         Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Vesting Schedule.  Subject to the Grantee’s not having Terminated, except as specifically provided herein or in the Plan,  one-third (1/3) of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Vesting Start Date (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Grantee not having Terminated prior to such anniversary.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)         Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, the portion of the Award that has not vested as of the date of the Change in Control shall become fully vested as of the date of the Change in Control, subject to the Grantee not having Terminated prior to the closing of such Change in Control.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)         Termination.  Except as set forth in the remainder of this Section 3(c), if the Grantee incurs a Termination for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that have not previously vested shall terminate as of the date of the Grantee’s Termination. If the Grantee incurs a Termination for Cause, then the Restricted Stock Units (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Restricted Stock Units that are
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

		

		
			unvested and vested but not yet settled) shall be forfeited and terminate immediately without consideration upon the effective date of such Termination for Cause.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If the Grantee incurs a Termination (i) without Cause, (ii) due to death or Disability, or (iii) due to his or her Retirement (as defined below), the portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units that have not previously vested shall continue to vest following the date of the Grantee’s death or Termination in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Retirement” means a Grantee’s voluntary resignation upon six months’ notice to the Company for any reason after attaining a combination of (A) age 55 with at least 10 years of credited service or (B) age 65 with at least 5 years of credited service.
		

		
			 
		

		
			4.         Dividend Equivalent Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder will accumulate dividend equivalent rights in respect of any dividends paid on Shares (on a one Share to one Restricted Stock Unit basis) from the Date of Grant through each Vesting Date. To the extent the Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to any dividend equivalent rights are forfeited pursuant to this Award Agreement or the Plan, those dividend equivalent rights will also be forfeited.  The aggregate dollar amount of dividend equivalent rights accumulated under this Section 4 and not forfeited shall be added to, and be settled at the same time as the related Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 5 below.
		

		
			 
		

		
			5.         Settlement of Restricted Stock Units
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Award Agreement shall entitle the Grantee to receive one (1) Share in settlement of each vested Restricted Stock Unit on the first trading date following the applicable Vesting Date  (each such date, the “Settlement Date”),  less a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding and employment taxes associated with the settlement of the PRSUs;  provided that, if a “Qualified Change in Control” (as defined below) occurs prior to the settlement of any Restricted Stock Unit,  settlement shall occur at the time(s) and in the same form of consideration as the consideration delivered to the Company’s stockholders in connection with such transaction, to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A.  For purposes of the foregoing, a “Qualified Change in Control” is a Change in Control that also constitutes a change of ownership or effective control of, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of, the Company for purposes of Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee on the Settlement Date a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the Settlement Date equal to any dividend equivalent rights accrued pursuant to Section 4 hereof in respect of the Restricted Stock Units to be settled on the Settlement Date, less a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding and employment taxes associated with the settlement of such dividend equivalent rights.
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

		

		
			6.         Restrictive Covenants
		

		
			 
		

		
			By signing the Notice, the Grantee acknowledges and reconfirms the covenants of confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation and other similar obligations of the Grantee set forth in the Grantee’s employment agreement, all of which shall continue to apply to the Grantee in accordance with the terms thereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			7.         Prohibited Activities
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        No Sale or Transfer. Unless otherwise required by law, the Restricted Stock Units shall not be (i) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, (ii) pledged or otherwise hypothecated or (iii) subject to attachment, execution or levy of any kind, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution; provided,  however, that any transferred Restricted Stock Units will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement and the Grantee’s estate or beneficiary appointed in accordance with the Plan will remain liable for any withholding tax that may be imposed by any federal, state or local tax authority.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Right to Terminate Restricted Stock Units and Recovery. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company has granted the Restricted Stock Units to the Grantee to reward the Grantee for the Grantee’s future efforts and loyalty to the Company and its Affiliates by giving the Grantee the opportunity to participate in the potential future appreciation of the Company.  Accordingly, if (a) the Grantee materially violates the Grantee’s obligations relating to the non-disclosure or non-use of confidential or proprietary information under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party, or (b) the Grantee materially breaches or violates the Grantee’s obligations relating to non-disparagement under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party, or (c) the Grantee engages in any activity prohibited by this Section 7 of this Award Agreement, or (d) the Grantee materially breaches or violates any non-solicitation obligations under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party, or  (e) the Grantee is convicted of a felony against the Company or any of its Affiliates or (f) the Grantee breaches or violates any non-competition obligations under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party (as applicable),  then, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled, at its option, exercisable by written notice, to terminate the Restricted Stock Units (including the vested portion of the Restricted Stock Units) without consideration, which shall be of no further force and effect.  “Restrictive Agreement” shall mean (i) for any Grantee who is not a resident of the State of California, any agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary and the Grantee that contains non-competition, non-solicitation, non-hire, non-disparagement, or confidentiality restrictions applicable to the Grantee and (ii) for any Grantee who is a resident of the State of California, any agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary and the Grantee that contains non-solicitation, non-hire, non-disparagement, or confidentiality restrictions applicable to the Grantee.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Other Remedies. The Grantee specifically acknowledges and agrees that its remedies under this Section 7 shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from seeking
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

		

		
			injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with the Grantee’s breach of any Restrictive Agreement.  In the event that the provisions of this Section 7 should ever be deemed to exceed the limitation provided by applicable law, then the Grantee and the Company agree that such provisions shall be reformed to set forth the maximum limitations permitted.
		

		
			 
		

		
			8.         No Rights as Stockholder
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units until the effective date of issuance of the Shares and the entry of the Grantee’s name as a shareholder of record on the books of the Company following delivery of the Shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.         Withholding
		

		
			 
		

		
			All payments made pursuant to this Award Agreement shall be subject to all applicable U.S. federal, state and local and applicable non-U.S. tax, social security and similar withholdings. The Grantee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes relating to the payment or provision of any amounts or benefits hereunder. The Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Restricted Stock Units, or any payment or transfer under, or with respect to, the Restricted Stock Units and to take such other action as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Board to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			10.       Securities Laws
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee will make such written representations, warranties, and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with securities laws or with this Award Agreement. The Grantee hereby agrees not to offer, sell or otherwise attempt to dispose of any Shares issued to the Grantee upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units in any way which would: (x) require the Company to file any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar filing under state law or the laws of any other county) or to amend or supplement any such filing or (y) violate or cause the Company to violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other Federal, state or local law, or the laws of any other country. The Company reserves the right to place restrictions on any Shares the Grantee may receive as a result of the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
		

		
			 
		

		
			11.       Modification, Amendment, and Termination of Restricted Stock Units
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except as set forth in Section 13(b) hereof, this Award Agreement may not be modified, amended, terminated and no provision hereof may be waived in whole or in part except by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Grantee and no modification shall, without the consent of the Grantee, alter to the Grantee’s material detriment or materially impair any rights of the Grantee under this Award Agreement except to the extent permitted under the Plan.
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

		

		
			12.       Notices

Any provision of this Award Agreement inconsistent with the Plan shall be considered void and replaced with the applicable provision of the Plan.

			(b)       For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Grantee resident outside of the U.S., if the application of the vesting provisions  as set forth in Section 3  hereof are invalid or impracticable under applicable local law, the terms of Section 3 hereof shall either be amended or be deemed not to apply to such Grantee, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. All determinations made and actions taken with respect to this Section 13(b) shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)       This Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof, and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts therein.

			14.       Section 409A
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be compliant with Section 409A of the Code and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Award Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

The Company shall have no obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any additional income tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code on any Person and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor any of their respective employees or representatives, shall have any liability to the Grantee with respect thereto.
		

		
			 
		

		
			15.       Headings and Capitalized Terms
		

		
			 
		

		
			Unless otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to a Section herein is a reference to a Section of this Award Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			16.       Severability and Reformation
		

		
			 
		

		
			If any provision of this Award Agreement shall be determined by a court of law of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, such unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of any of the remaining provisions hereof. In that case, this Award Agreement, to the fullest extent lawful, shall be reformed and construed as if such unenforceable provision, or part thereof, had never been contained herein, and such provision or part thereof shall be reformed or construed so that it would be enforceable to the maximum extent legally possible.
		

		
			 
		

		
			17.       Binding Effect
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Award Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, together with their personal executors, administrator, successors, personal representatives, heirs and permitted assigns.

			This Award Agreement, together with the Plan, supersedes all prior written and oral agreements and understandings among the parties as to its subject matter and constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  If there is any conflict between the Notice, this Award Agreement and the Plan, then the applicable terms of the Plan shall govern.
		

		
			 
		

		
			19.       Waiver
		

		
			 
		

		
			Waiver by any party of any breach of this Award Agreement or failure to exercise any right hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach or right whether or not of the same or a similar nature. The failure of any party to take action by reason of such breach or to
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

		

		
			exercise any such right shall not deprive the party of the right to take action at any time while or after such breach or condition giving rise to such rights continues.
