Annex “A” to Assignment Letter

Guidelines on Business Practice for Assignees

1. Your assignment is a secondment to the Host affiliate. This means that you will continue to be an employee of your Home Company, but you will be temporarily seconded to the Host Company. The purpose of the assignment is so that you can undertake work on behalf of the Host Company for a temporary period.
    
2. Although you remain employed by your Home Company, for the period of your assignment you will be under the supervision and direction of the Host Company and you must comply with the guidelines, practices, rules and regulations of the Host Company from time to time in effect, as well as all applicable laws in the Host Country.

3. You also remain subject to many of your Home Company policies, to the extent that they do not conflict with those of the Host Country whilst you are on assignment. Further details can be found in the Global Guidelines.

4. During your assignment it is important that you do not do anything that may appear to be, or may be construed as, the conduct of business by or on behalf of the Home Company.

For example:
You must not distribute business cards naming the Home Company;
Your e-mail signature and contact details must reference the Host Company only;
You must not use your Home Company title, but should use a title that is legally acceptable to, and approved by, the Host Company;
You may send e-mails only from an e-mail address associated with the Host Company;
You should not transact any business whatsoever on behalf of the Home Company.

5. During your assignment it is also important that you do not do anything that may bind the Home Company to any agreement, arrangement or business transaction.

For example:
You may not sign any agreements, reports to third parties or regulatory filings on behalf of the Home Company, or on behalf of any other Company affiliates except the Host Company;
You may not sign any document on behalf of the Home Company;
You are expressly forbidden to bind the Home Company in any way, whether verbally or in writing.
