EXHIBIT A
TO PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD GRANT NOTICE
PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached, the Company has granted to Participant the number of PSUs set forth in the Grant Notice.
ARTICLE I.
GENERAL
1.1 Incorporation of Terms of Plan, Grant Notice and the Foreign Appendix. The PSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Grant Notice, the Plan and the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.
ARTICLE II.
AWARD OF PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS
2.1 Award of PSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to any member of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Group”) (each such member, a “Company Group Member”) and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company has granted to Participant the Target Number of PSUs set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, the Plan, this Agreement and the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12.2 of the Plan. Each PSU represents the right to receive one Share. However, unless and until the PSUs have vested, Participant will have no right to the payment of any Shares subject thereto. Prior to the actual delivery of any Shares, the PSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable only from the general assets of the Company.
(b)The Company hereby grants to Participant an Award of Dividend Equivalents with respect to each PSU granted pursuant to the Grant Notice for all ordinary and extraordinary cash dividends that are paid to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding Shares with a record date that occurs between the Grant Date and the date when the Share underlying the applicable PSU is distributed to Participant or is forfeited or expires. The Dividend Equivalents for each PSU shall have a value equal to the amount of cash that is paid as a dividend on one Share. The Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to a book account for Participant in the form of cash unless the Administrator determines to cause the Dividend Equivalents to be reinvested in additional PSUs as of the date of payment of any such dividend based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date. The Dividend Equivalents and any amounts that may become payable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the PSUs and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of Section 409A.
A-1

2.2 Vesting of PSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)Subject to Participant’s continued employment with or service to a Company Group Member through the date on which the PSUs are settled pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and subject to Section 3.8 and Section 3.15, the PSUs shall vest in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice. Any Dividend Equivalents provided pursuant to Section 2.1(b) hereof shall vest whenever the underlying PSU to which such Dividend Equivalents relate vests.
(b)Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between Participant and the Company, (i) any PSUs and Dividend Equivalents that do not performance-vest pursuant to the Performance-Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall be forfeited as of the date it is determined that such PSUs and Dividend Equivalents will not performance-vest and shall not thereafter become vested and (ii) any PSUs and Dividend Equivalents that have not become vested on or prior to the date of Participant’s Termination of Service (including, without limitation, pursuant to any employment or similar agreement by and between Participant and the Company) shall be forfeited on the date of Participant’s Termination of Service and shall not thereafter become vested.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, if Participant is eligible to participate in the Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation Retirement, Death and Disability Policy (as may be amended from time to time, the “Retirement Policy”) and Participant terminates employment due to a Qualifying Retirement or Qualifying Termination (each as defined in the Retirement Policy), all then-outstanding the PSUs shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Retirement Policy, remain outstanding following Participant’s Qualifying Retirement or Qualifying Termination and eligible to vest and be paid in accordance with the Grant Notice and Section 2.3 below.
2.3 Distribution or Payment of PSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)Participant’s PSUs (including any Dividend Equivalents reinvested in PSUs) shall be distributed in Shares (either in book-entry form or otherwise) and any Dividend Equivalents credited in the form of cash shall be distributed in cash, in each case as soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of the applicable PSU and Dividend Equivalent pursuant to Section 2.2, but in no event later than March 15 th of the year next-following the year in which the Performance Period ends (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short-term deferral” exemption from Section 409A). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay a distribution or payment in settlement of PSUs and Dividend Equivalents if it reasonably determines that such payment or distribution will violate Federal securities laws or any other Applicable Law, provided that such distribution or payment shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably determines that the making of such distribution or payment will not cause such violation, as required by Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii), and provided further that no payment or distribution shall be delayed under this Section 2.3(a) if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A.
(b)All distributions of Shares shall be made by the Company in the form of whole Shares, and to the extent that the total number of Shares to be issued in connection with any distribution would otherwise result in a fractional Share, such total number of Shares shall be rounded down to the next whole Share.
A-2

2.4 Conditions to Issuance of Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for any Shares or to cause any Shares to be held in book-entry form prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of the Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Shares are then listed, (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental regulatory body, that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable, and (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.
2.5 Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(a)The Company Group has the authority to deduct or withhold, or require Participant to remit to the applicable Company Group Member, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising pursuant to this Agreement. The Company Group may withhold or Participant may make such payment in one or more of the forms specified below:
(i)by cash or check made payable to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises;
(ii)by the deduction of such amount from any cash payments payable pursuant to the Dividend Equivalents or any other compensation payable to Participant;
(iii)with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the distribution of the PSUs, until such time as the Company provides Participant with written or electronic notice that such method of withholding taxes is not permitted, by withholding a net number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the PSUs having a fair market value (as determined by the Company in accordance with applicable law) not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company Group based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income;
(iv)with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the distribution of the PSUs, with the consent of the Administrator, by tendering to the Company vested Shares held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company Group based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income;
(v)with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the distribution of the PSUs, through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable to Participant pursuant to the PSUs, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises in satisfaction of
A-3

such withholding taxes; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the applicable Company Group Member at such time as may be required by the Administrator, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale; or
(vi)in any combination of the foregoing.
(b)With respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the PSUs or the Dividend Equivalents, in the event Participant fails to provide timely payment of all sums required pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Company shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat such failure as an election by Participant to satisfy all or any portion of Participant’s required payment obligation pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(ii) or Section 2.5(a)(iii) above, or any combination of the foregoing as the Company may determine to be appropriate. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificate representing Shares issuable with respect to the PSUs to, or to cause any such Shares to be held in book-entry form by, Participant or his or her legal representative, or to pay to Participant any cash with respect to any Dividend Equivalents, unless and until Participant or his or her legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes applicable with respect to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the vesting or settlement of the PSUs, the payment of any cash with respect to the Dividend Equivalents or any other taxable event related to the PSUs or the Dividend Equivalents.
(c)In the event any tax withholding obligation arising in connection with the PSUs will be satisfied under Section 2.5(a)(iii), then the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares then issuable to Participant pursuant to the PSUs as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding obligation and to remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises. Participant’s acceptance of this Award constitutes Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company and such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this Section 2.5(c), including the transactions described in the previous sentence, as applicable. The Company may refuse to issue any Shares in settlement of the PSUs to Participant until the foregoing tax withholding obligations are satisfied, provided that no payment shall be delayed under this Section 2.5(c) if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A.
(d)Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company Group from, all taxes and social security or national insurance contributions owed in connection with the PSUs and any Dividend Equivalents (including the grant or vesting of the PSUs or Dividend Equivalents or the acquisition or disposal of any Shares), regardless of any action any Company Group Member takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the PSUs or the Dividend Equivalents. Participant shall pay any taxes or other amounts that are required by the laws of a jurisdiction in which Participant is subject to taxation to be paid by the Company Group with respect to the grant, vesting or settlement of the PSUs or Dividend Equivalents or the issuance of Shares or cash thereunder, to the extent those taxes or other amounts are permitted to be passed through to the Participant under Applicable Law. No Company Group Member makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the PSUs or Dividend Equivalents or
A-4

the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company Group does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the PSUs or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.
2.6 Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book-entry form) will have been issued and recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars and delivered to Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). Except as otherwise provided herein, after such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares, including, without limitation, the right to receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.
ARTICLE III.
OTHER PROVISIONS
3.1 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Foreign Appendix, as applicable, as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. To the extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Law, no member of the Committee or the Board will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Foreign Appendix, as applicable.
3.2 PSUs and Dividend Equivalents Not Transferable. The PSUs and the Dividend Equivalents may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until the Shares underlying the PSUs have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed. The PSUs may not be hedged, including (without limitation) any short sale or any acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of the PSUs or the underlying Shares. None of the PSUs, the Dividend Equivalents or any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the consent of the Administrator, the PSUs and the Dividend Equivalents may be transferred to Permitted Transferees pursuant to any conditions and procedures the Administrator may require; provided that the PSUs and the Dividend Equivalents may not be transferred for value or consideration. Participant may direct the Company to record the ownership of any Shares underlying the PSUs that vest and become issuable hereunder in the name of a revocable living trust established for the exclusive benefit of Participant or Participant and his or her spouse. Participant may make such a beneficiary designation or ownership directive at any time by filing the appropriate form with the Administrator.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to Applicable Law.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
3.11 Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of any Company Group Member or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company Group, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between a Company Group Member and Participant.
3.12 Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and PSUs. In accepting the PSUs, Participant acknowledges that:
(a)the Award of the PSUs (and the Shares subject to the PSUs) and the Dividend Equivalents (and any cash subject to the Dividend Equivalents) the Company is making under the Plan is unilateral and discretionary and will not give rise to any future obligation on the Company to make further Awards under the Plan to the Participant;
(b)for labor law purposes, subject to Applicable Law, the PSUs (and the Shares subject to the PSUs) and the Dividend Equivalents (and any cash subject to the Dividend Equivalents) are not part of normal or expected wages or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for any Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof;
(c)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(d)the PSUs (and the Shares subject to the PSUs) and the Dividend Equivalents (and any cash subject to the Dividend Equivalents) are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(e)none of the PSUs, the Dividend Equivalents or any provision of this Agreement, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon Participant any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment and shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with any Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof, and any modification of the Plan or this Agreement or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of employment;
A-7

(f)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the PSUs vest and Participant obtains Shares, the value of the Shares acquired may increase or decrease in value; and
(g)in consideration of the grant of the PSUs hereunder, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the PSUs, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the PSUs resulting from termination of Participant’s employment by any Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Participant irrevocably releases each Company Group Member from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim.
3.13 Consent to Personal Data Processing and Transfer. By acceptance of the PSUs, Participant acknowledges and consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described below. The Company Group holds certain personal information, including Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee tax identification number, employment history and status, salary, nationality, job title, and any equity compensation grants or Shares awarded, cancelled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). Participant is aware that providing the Company with Participant’s Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that Participant’s refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. The Company Group will transfer Data to third parties in the course of its or their business, including for the purpose of assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. However, from time to time and without notice, the Company Group may retain additional or different third parties for any of the purposes mentioned. The Company Group may also make Data available to public authorities where required under Applicable Law. Such recipients may be located in the jurisdiction which Participant is based or elsewhere in the world, which Participant separately and expressly consents to, accepting that outside the jurisdiction which Participant is based, data protection laws may not be as protective as within. Participant hereby authorizes the Company Group and all such third parties to receive, possess, use, retain, process and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, in the course of the Company Group’s business, including for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan, and including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan on behalf of Participant to a third party to whom Participant may have elected to have payment made pursuant to the Plan. Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative. Participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in writing by contacting the Company through its local human resources representative; however, withdrawing the consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and receive the benefits intended by these PSUs. Data will only be held as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan and any subsequent claims or rights.
A-8

3.14 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.
3.15 Section 409A. This Award is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A. However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Foreign Appendix if at any time the Administrator determines that this Award (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Foreign Appendix, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate for this Award either to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
3.16 Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Foreign Appendix.
3.17 Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the PSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
3.18 Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of any broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection with the payment of withholding taxes as provided in Section 2.5(a)(v) or Section 2.5(c): (a) any Shares to be sold through a broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the tax withholding obligation arises or as soon thereafter as practicable; (b) such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other participants in the Plan in which all participants receive an average price; (c) Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d) to the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the applicable tax withholding obligation, the Company agrees to pay such excess in cash to Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) Participant acknowledges that the Company or its designee is under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation; and (f) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation, Participant agrees to pay immediately upon demand to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the applicable Company Group Member’s withholding obligation.
3.19 Non-U.S. Additional Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms and conditions of this Award, Participant acknowledges that applicable law (including but not limited to rules or regulations
A-9

governing securities, foreign ownership, foreign exchange, tax, labor or other matters of any jurisdiction in which Participant may be residing or working at the time of grant of or while holding this Award) may prevent or restrict the issuance of Shares under this Award, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate assumes any liability in relation to this Award or any Restricted Stock Units or Shares in such case. Participant also acknowledges that applicable law may subject Participant to additional procedural or regulatory requirements that Participant is and will be solely responsible for and must fulfill. For the avoidance of doubt, if any provision of the Grant Notice, this Agreement or the Foreign Appendix, if applicable, is not lawful in the jurisdiction in which Participant may be residing or working at the time of grant of or while holding this Award, then such provision will not apply to this Award, subject to Section 3.16.
3.20 Clawback. The PSUs, any Shares distributed in settlement of the PSUs, any proceeds from the sale of Shares distributed in settlement of the PSUs and any payments in respect of the Dividend Equivalents will be subject to the provisions of any clawback policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any clawback policy adopted to comply with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or any other applicable law, whether or not such clawback policy was in place on the Grant Date. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company.

EXHIBIT B
TO PERFORMANCE BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD GRANT NOTICE
SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR PERFORMANCE BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS FOR PARTICIPANTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.
This Exhibit B (this “Appendix”) includes special terms and conditions applicable to Participants in the countries below. These terms and conditions are in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice, the Agreement and the Plan and to the extent there are any inconsistencies between these terms and conditions and those set forth in the Agreement, these terms and conditions shall prevail.
This Appendix also includes information relating to exchange control and other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information contained in this Appendix is based on exchange control, securities and other laws in effect as of a prior date. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the PSU vests or Shares acquired under the Plan are sold.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the particular situation of Participant, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation. If Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.
The Participant should be aware that the tax consequences in connection with the grant of the PSU, the vesting of the PSU and the disposal of the resulting Shares vary from country to country and are subject to change from time to time and understand that the Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the PSU and the Participant’s disposal of the Shares. By signing the Agreement the Participant acknowledges that he or she is not relying on the Company for tax advice and will seek his or her own tax advice as required.
AUSTRALIA
1.Tax: In accepting the PSU, Participant acknowledges that any taxable gain at the date of grant or cessation, as appropriate, may result in an income and Medicare tax charge arising. Participant acknowledges and confirms that Participant is responsible for reporting and paying all taxes to the local tax authorities and that this will be undertaken by Participant on a timely basis.
2.Securities Law Information: If Participant acquires Shares pursuant to the PSU and Participant offers the Shares for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law. Participant should obtain legal advice on disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer.
3.Exchange Control Information: Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding AUD$10,000 and international fund transfers. The Australian bank assisting with the transaction will file the report. If there is no Australian bank involved in the transfer, Participant will be required to file the report.
