Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings used or defined in the Plan.

SECTION 3. Responsibility for Taxes.

(a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer, if other than the Company (the “Employer”), takes with respect to any or all federal, state or local income tax, social security contributions,

payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan that are legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that such liability may exceed the amount actually withheld, if any, by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, without limitation, the issuance of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant becomes subject to tax and/or social security contributions in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b) In connection with any relevant taxable, tax and/or social security contribution withholding event, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regards to Tax-Related Items by withholding a number of Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Award. If, for any reason, the Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to the Participant upon settlement of the Award would be insufficient to satisfy the tax withholding obligations, or if such withholding in Shares is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or if there is a substantial likelihood that the use of such form of payment would result in adverse accounting treatment for the Company, the Participant authorizes:

(i) the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company to sell on the Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares to be issued to the Participant as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items;

(ii) the Company, the Employer and any Affiliate to withhold an amount from the Participant’s wages or other compensation or require the Participant to make a cash payment sufficient to fully satisfy any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items; and

(iii) the Company, the Employer and any Affiliate to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items by any other method of withholding determined by the Company and, to the extent required by applicable law or the Plan, approved by the Committee.

(c) Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory or other applicable withholding rates, including minimum or maximum rates, in the jurisdictions applicable to the Participant. In no event will the Company withhold more than the maximum amount necessary to satisfy any applicable withholding requirements in the applicable jurisdiction. In the event of over-withholding, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares), or if not refunded, the Participant may need to seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, the Participant will be deemed, for tax and/or social security contributions and other purposes, to have been issued the full number of Shares, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purposes of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(d) The Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Participant expressly acknowledges that the delivery of Shares is conditioned on satisfaction of all Tax-Related Items in accordance with

this Section 3, and that the Company may refuse to deliver the Shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

SECTION 4. Consents and Legends.

(a) Consents. The Participant’s rights in respect of the Shares are conditioned on the receipt to the full satisfaction of the Committee of any required consents that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, the Participant’s consent to the Company’s supplying to any third-party recordkeeper of the Plan such personal information as the Committee deems advisable to administer the Plan, as may further be described to the extent applicable discussing applicable data privacy considerations in an addendum to this Award Agreement, as described in Section 14).

(b) Legends. The Company may affix to certificates for Shares issued pursuant to this Award Agreement any legend that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable (including to reflect any restrictions to which the Participant may be subject under any applicable securities laws). The Company may advise the applicable transfer agent to place a stop order against any legended Shares.

Nothing in this Award Agreement should be viewed as the provision by the Company of any tax, legal, or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.

ADDENDUM
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO
AWARD AGREEMENT (SHARE AWARD-017)

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Addendum, which is part of the Award Agreement, includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Shares and that will apply to the Participant if he or she is employed and /or resides in one of the countries listed below. If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is working and/or residing on the Grant Date, transfers to another country after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company may determine, in its discretion, the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will apply to the Participant and the Shares.

Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Addendum shall have the meanings used or defined in the Award Agreement or the Plan.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Addendum also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the countries set forth below as of September 2025. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Participant should not rely solely on this Addendum for information relating to the consequences of participating in the Plan because such information may be outdated when the Participant is issued or sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information set forth in this Addendum is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation. As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. The Participant therefore should seek appropriate professional advice as to the application of relevant laws in the Participant’s country to the Participant’s particular situation.

Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she currently is working and/or residing, transfers to a different country after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information set forth in this Addendum may not apply to the Participant in the same manner.

ALL COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE U.S.

Consent to Personal Data Processing and Transfer. By accepting the Award via the Company’s acceptance procedure, the Participant is declaring that he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Personal Data (as defined below) by the Company and the transfer of Personal Data to the recipients mentioned herein, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described herein.

(a) Declaration of Consent. The Participant understands that the Participant must review the following information about the processing of the Participant’s personal data by or on behalf of the Company or the Employer as described in this Award Agreement and any materials related to the Award (the “Personal Data”) and declare his or her consent. As regards the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data in connection with the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Participant understands that the Company is the controller of the Participant’s Personal Data.

(b) Data Processing and Legal Basis. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes Personal Data about the Participant for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Personal Data processed by the Company includes, without limitation, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or its Affiliates, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor. The legal basis for the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data, where required, is the Participant’s consent.

(c) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Participant understands that the Company transfers the Participant’s Personal Data, or parts thereof, to (i) Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC (and its affiliated companies), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and (ii) My Equity Comp (and its affiliated companies), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the preparation of tax forms and tax returns. In the future, the Company may select different service providers and share the Participant’s Personal Data with such different service providers that serve the Company in a similar manner. The Company’s service providers will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan and that the Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

(d) International Data Transfers. The Company and, as of the date hereof, any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, such as Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC and My Equity Comp, are based in the United States. If the Participant is located outside the United States, the Participant’s country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the laws of the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s Personal Data is the Participant’s consent.

(e) Data Retention. The Company will process the Participant’s Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. In the latter case, the Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations. When the Company no longer needs the Participant’s Personal Data for any of the above purposes, the Participant understands the Company will remove it from its systems.

(f) Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial/Withdrawal of Consent. The Participant understands that any participation in the Plan and his or her consent are purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or later withdraw his or her consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If the Participant denies or later withdraws his or her consent, the Company can no longer offer participation in the Plan or grant equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards, and the Participant will no longer be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Participant further understands that denial or withdrawal of his or her consent would not affect his or her status or salary as an employee or his or her career and that the Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.

(g) Data Subject Rights. The data subject rights regarding the processing of Personal Data vary depending on the applicable law and that, depending on where the Participant is based and subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law, the Participant may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about the Participant and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data about the Participant that is inaccurate, incomplete or out- of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data in certain situations where the Participant feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi)request portability of the Participant’s Personal Data that the Participant has actively or

passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or the Participant’s employment and is carried out by automated means. In case of concerns, the Participant may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. Further, to receive clarification of, or to exercise any of, the Participant’s rights the Participant should contact the Participant’s local human resources representative.

Language. The Participant acknowledges that he or she is proficient in the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Participant to understand the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement. If the Participant receives the Award Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
