EXHIBIT B
Anti-Harassment Policy
PwC AC Bangalore and its group of companies prohibits sexual or other unlawful harassment of its employees,
vendors, clients or applicants, whether engaged in by company personnel, clients, customers, vendors, or others. This
policy also prohibits employment actions that are based on an employee's submission to or rejection of unwelcome
sexual advances or other behavior prohibited by this policy. This policy applies at PwC AC Bangalore facilities and at
other locations where our employees conduct business or socialize, such as client sites or at company or client
sponsored business and social functions including homes of the employees during a work from home setup and all
employees are to adhere to this policy even in the course of online meetings, virtual socialization activities and/ or
engaging in informal conversations during a work from home setup.
Sexual harassment is viewed as a form of employee conduct that undermines the integrity of the employment
relationship. For the purposes of this policy, sexual harassment is defined as sexual behavior that is unwelcome, is
personally offensive, and/or creates a hostile, intimidating or offensive work environment. PwC AC Bangalore will not
tolerate sexual harassment by anyone — supervisors, employees, vendors, or clients.
Some examples of sexual harassment are:

Unwelcome or unwanted sexual advances. This includes patting, pinching, brushing up against, hugging,
cornering, kissing, or any other similar physical contact considered unwelcome by another individual.

Requests or demands of sexual favors. This includes subtle or blatant expectations, pressures, or requests of
any type of sexual favor accompanied by an implied or stated promise of preferential treatment or negative
consequences concerning one's employment.

Verbal abuse or kidding that is sex-oriented and considered unwelcome by another person. This includes
comments about an individual's body or appearance (where such comments go beyond a mere compliment);
off-color jokes that are clearly unwanted or considered offensive by others; or any other tasteless, sex-oriented
comments, innuendoes, or offensive actions.

Any sexually oriented conduct that would unreasonably interfere with another's work performance. This
includes extending unwanted sexual attention to someone, which reduces personal productivity.

Participation in fostering a work environment that is intimidating, hostile, or offensive because of unwelcome
or unwanted sexually oriented conversation, suggestions, requests, demands, physical contacts, or attention.

Possession in the workplace or display of sexually suggestive objects or pictures; emails, internet sites, or
other correspondence with sexually suggestive content.

Tangible employment decisions made because of or influenced by an individual's compliance with or refusal to
comply with sexual demands.

Any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of sexual nature.

This policy also expressly prohibits behavior that harasses an employee or applicant on the basis of his or her race,
color, creed, religion, age, gender, national origin, citizenship status, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, or
other category protected by Central, State, or local law. Forms of such harassment can include physical, verbal and
nonverbal behavior that harasses, disrupts, or interferes with an employee's work performance or in any way creates
or contributes to an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. This behavior includes, by way of example
only, epithets, slurs, off-color jokes, threats, or posters, cartoons, emails, or drawings that are insulting, degrading,
derogatory or ridiculing of one based on his or her protected status.

Behavior prohibited by this policy often can occur without the knowledge of others and what one may regard as
offensive, another may not. For the company to effectively implement this policy, all persons must respond to and
report behavior that violates this policy. Cooperation in preventing this type of conduct is essential.
If you believe that you have been subjected to inappropriate sexual or other behavior, you should immediately tell the
offender that his or her behavior is offensive and must cease. If such a direct approach is ineffective or impractical
under the circumstances, you must report such behavior to one of the persons identified below. If you have reason to
believe that another employee of the company has been subjected to or has engaged in behavior that violates this
policy, you should also immediately inform one of the individuals identified below.
The InternalCommittee (“IC”) duly constituted by PwC AC Bangalore under applicable law is available to investigate,
promptly and thoroughly, any such complaint or report of inappropriate behavior. Complaints and investigations will
be handled in a confidential manner consistent with the need to investigate and take corrective action.
If you are aware of conduct by anyone — including those at any level — that may be unethical, illegal or inconsistent
with PwC’s Code of Conduct, Our Standards, values or policies — help is available. Talk to your Human Capital Team
(HR) representative. You can also report your concerns to the Ethics Helpline, anonymously if you prefer at
Bangalore/Hyderabad/Kolkata/Mumbai AC: 000-800-100-1555.

In response to a meritorious complaint, PwC AC Bangalore will as necessary or appropriate, take disciplinary action
against anyone found in violation of this policy, up to and including termination of employment.
Overall responsibility for PwC AC Bangalore’s Equal Employment Opportunity and Sexual Harassment policy has been
assigned to the Director-HC who is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of this policy.

Every employee may access this confidential system without fear of reprisal. This policy also prohibits retaliation
against anyone who in good faith complains under this policy or participates in an investigation. Full cooperation by
each employee asked to assist during any investigation pursuant to this policy is required. Complaints of retaliation
(actual, threatened or feared) also should be directed to one of the individuals identified above.

rights against PwC AC Bangalore or its affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, I hereby irrevocably assign and
transfer to PwC AC Bangalore all economic rights to the Works, including the rights to reproduce, manufacture, use,
adapt, modify, publish, distribute, sublicense, publicly perform and communicate, translate, lease, sell, offer for sale,
import, export and otherwise exploit the Works. I shall have no right to exercise any rights to the Works.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 19(4) of the Copyright Act, 1957, such assignment in so far as it relates to
copyrightable material shall not lapse nor the rights transferred therein revert to me, even if PwC AC Bangalore does
not exercise the rights under the assignment within a period of 1 (one) year from the date of assignment.
I further acknowledge and agree that I waive any right to and will not raise any objection or claims to the Copyright
Board with respect to the assignment, pursuant to Section 19A of the Copyright Act, 1957. Without limiting the
foregoing, I will not have the right to and will not reproduce, adapt, modify, publish, distribute, sublicense, publicly
perform or communicate, translate, lease, import or otherwise exploit the Works, except as expressly authorized by
PwC AC Bangalore in the scope of my employment. I expressly acknowledge and agree that I wish to remain
anonymous and not to have my name or any pseudonym used in connection with the Works. I hereby approve any
and all modifications, uses, publications and other exploitation of the Works that PwC AC Bangalore or any successor
or transferee thereof may elect to make, and I expressly agree that no such modifications, uses, publications or
exploitations will or may cause harm to my honor or reputation. I agree that no modification, use or publication of the
Works by PwC AC Bangalore or any successor or transferee thereof will be deemed to constitute a distortion or
mutilation of the Works. PwC AC Bangalore shall have the unrestricted right to transfer and convey any or all of PwC
AC Bangalore’s rights in or relating to the Works to any person or entity.
(b) I understand that the CIPA is not intended and shall not be interpreted to assign to or invest in PwC AC Bangalore
any of my rights in any inventions developed entirely on my own time without using PwC AC Bangalore’s equipment,
supplies, facilities, resources, or trade secret information, except for those inventions that either relate at the time of
conception or reduction to practice of the inventions to the business of PwC AC Bangalore or the actual or
demonstrably anticipated research or development of PwC AC Bangalore, or result from any work that I performed for
PwC AC Bangalore.
(c) I will keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all inventions, original works of authorship, trade
secrets or other Works in which rights vest in or are assigned to PwC AC Bangalore hereunder. The records will be in
the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that may be specified by PwC AC Bangalore. The records
will be available to and remain the sole property of PwC AC Bangalore at all times.
(d) I will provide any assistance reasonably requested by PwC AC Bangalore to protect its proprietary and intellectual
property rights, including, to obtain Indian or foreign letters patent and copyright registrations covering inventions,
original works of authorship and other Works belonging or assigned hereunder to PwC AC Bangalore. I will execute
any transfers of ownership of letters patent or assignments of copyrights or other proprietary rights transferred or
assigned hereunder (including short form assignments intended for recording with the Indian, U.S. or any other
foreign copyright and patent authorities, or any other entity). I understand that my obligations under this Section shall
survive any termination of this CIPA or of my employment in perpetuity, provided that PwC AC Bangalore will
compensate me at a reasonable rate for time actually spent performing such obligations at PwC AC Bangalore’s
request after such termination. If PwC AC Bangalore is unable for any reason whatsoever, including my mental or
physical incapacity, to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign
letters patent or copyright registrations or on any document transferring or assigning any patent, copyright or other
proprietary right that I am obligated hereunder to transfer or assign, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint PwC
AC Bangalore and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and on my behalf
and in my stead to execute and file any such applications and documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts
to further the application, registration, prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations or
transfers or assignments thereof or of any other proprietary rights with the same legal force and effect as if executed
by me. This appointment is coupled with an interest in and to the inventions, works of authorship, trade secrets and
other Works to which any proprietary rights may apply and shall survive my death or disability.
(e) “Works” means:
1. any inventions, trade secrets, ideas or original works of authorship that I conceive, develop, discover or make in
whole or in part during my employment with PwC AC Bangalore (which term includes, for purposes of this
entire definition, any affiliate of PwC AC Bangalore), or which I conceived, developed, discovered, or made in
whole or in part during my employment or relationship with PwC AC Bangalore, and that relate to the business
of PwC AC Bangalore or its actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development,

2. any inventions, trade secrets, ideas or original works of authorship that I conceive, develop, discover or make in
whole or in part during or after my employment with PwC AC Bangalore, or which I conceived, developed,
discovered, or made in whole or in part during my employment or relationship with PwC AC Bangalore, and
which are made through the use of any of PwC AC Bangalore’s or any PwC AC Bangalore’s predecessors’
equipment, facilities, supplies, trade secrets or time, or which result from any work that I perform or performed
for PwC AC Bangalore, and any part or aspect of any of the foregoing.

3. For purposes of Sections 2(a), (b), (c) and (d) of this CIPA, the term PwC AC Bangalore shall mean (i) PwC AC
Bangalore for any period of time during which I am employed by PwC AC Bangalore and (ii) any affiliate of PwC
AC Bangalore for any period of time during which I am employed by such affiliate.
3. I will return immediately to PwC AC Bangalore all property of PwC AC Bangalore and its affiliates (including without
limitation all Proprietary Information, documents, notes and other work product) in my possession or control,
including duplicates, when I leave my employment or whenever PwC AC Bangalore may otherwise require that such
Proprietary Information and other property be returned.
4. I will comply, and do all things necessary to assist PwC AC Bangalore to comply, with the laws and regulations of
all governments under which PwC AC Bangalore does business, and with the provisions of contracts between PwC
AC Bangalore and any such government or its contractors, or between PwC AC Bangalore and any private
contractors, that relate to intellectual property or to the safeguarding of information, including the signing of any
confidentiality agreements required in connection with the performance of duties during my employment with PwC
AC Bangalore.
5. I understand and agree that the provisions of this CIPA shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their
terms notwithstanding any termination of my employment with PwC AC Bangalore for any or no reason.
6. The CIPA constitutes the entire agreement between PwC AC Bangalore and me with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior and/or contemporaneous understandings, agreements or communications, whether
oral or written, on such subject matter, provided that the provisions of any other written agreement between PwC AC
Bangalore and me shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

7. The CIPA shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of India.
8. The CIPA may not be amended or modified except by a written document signed by me and a duly authorized
representative of PwC AC Bangalore. The waiver of any right hereunder shall not be binding unless set forth in writing
signed by the waiving party, and shall not bar the exercise of any other right or of the same right on any other
occasion.

9. The CIPA shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of me, PwC AC Bangalore and its affiliates, successors and
assigns, provided, however, that I understand that I may not assign my rights or delegate my obligations under this
CIPA without the express prior written consent of PwC AC Bangalore. Without limiting the foregoing, the rights of PwC
AC Bangalore hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part without my consent to any of PwC AC Bangalore’s
affiliates or to any other entity that, whether by merger or otherwise, acquires all or substantially all of the assets,
business or stock of the office or branch in which I work.

10. If any provision of this CIPA is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions of this CIPA, and the parties shall substitute for the invalid provision a valid
provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.
11. I acknowledge and understand that any breach by me of any of Sections 1, 2, 3 or 4 of this CIPA will cause PwC
AC Bangalore and its affiliates to suffer irreparable harm for which damages are an inadequate remedy and are
difficult to calculate. Accordingly, I agree that PwC AC Bangalore and its affiliates will be entitled, without limiting any
other available legal or equitable remedies, to injunctive relief (without the need to post any bond or other security) to
enforce the terms of the CIPA in whole or in part and to prevent any breach or threatened breach of any of those
Sections.
EXHIBIT D
Consent Form
I acknowledge and agree that PricewaterhouseCoopers Service Delivery Center – Bangalore Private Limited and its
affiliates or related bodies corporate want to develop a global human resources database in support of PwC AC
Bangalore’s legitimate business purposes.
These legitimate business purposes include, without limitation:
(a) the submission of proposals to clients and potential clients of PwC AC Bangalore;
(b) the compilation of directories;

(c) the organization of security procedures;


(d) the processing of worker compensation and insurance claim and the management of human resources.
I therefore understand and agree that PwC AC Bangalore hold, collect, receive, store, record, have access to, process
and transfer personal information about myself (“Personal Data”), including, without limitation:

(a) identification data such as my name, home address, telephone and fax number, personal email address, date of
birth, social security number, citizenship, ID and passport number and/or other employee identification number,
marital status;
(b) employment data such as my salary, job title, resumes, applications, copies of school, college and university
diplomas, background verification information, entitlement to stock options, employment references;

(c) financial information such as bank account numbers and tax related information; and
(d) other information necessary to PwC AC Bangalore’s legitimate business purposes, which I may voluntarily
disclose in the course of my application and subsequent employment with PwC AC Bangalore.
I understand that, unless allowed or required by laws and/or regulations, PwC AC Bangalore does not, as a general
rule, collect sensitive data, such as information about racial and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or
philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, sexual orientation, health information, etc. However, if I have
voluntarily in any way disclosed information of that nature to PwC AC Bangalore, I understand that PwC AC Bangalore
may not be able or may be able only with disproportionate effort to delete this information from its database and I
agree to the use, disclosure, processing and transfer, including cross-border transfer, of these information, even
though it is possible that the recipient of such information may not be bound by similar obligations to protect such
information.

I understand and agree that relevant Personal Data are transferred or shared:
(a) among PwC AC Bangalore affiliates for the purposes of, and in connection with, personnel administration,
planning and management of my employment relationship with PwC AC Bangalore;
(b) with other individuals joining PwC AC Bangalore and using PwC on-line tools for on-boarding purposes; and

(c) to third parties assisting PwC AC Bangalore in the administration and management of my employment
relationship with PwC AC Bangalore, including without limitation, payroll management companies, pension plan
companies, health insurance companies or agencies, credit card companies, background verification providers and
others that have entered into vendor program agreements with PwC AC Bangalore for the provision of their services
to PwC AC Bangalore and its employees.

I also understand and agree that PwC AC Bangalore hold, collect, receive, store, have access to, use, disclose,
process, and transfer Personal Data for purposes of its legitimate business interests and may do so even after my
departure from PwC AC Bangalore either for a reasonable period of time to allow me to join the PwC AC Bangalore
Alumni Network or for the applicable statutory period.
I understand that the companies transferring my Personal Data and the recipients of my Personal Data, both PwC AC
Bangalore affiliates and third parties, may be located in any country including any country outside of India or my
country of origin and/or residence.
I hereby consent to the collection, reception, possession, use, processing and transfer by PwC AC Bangalore of my
Personal Data, in electronic or any other form, including transborder transfer of Personal Data, for the purposes and
to parties described above.
I understand that I am responsible to, and may, at any time, review certain of my Personal Data, by accessing PwC AC
Bangalore’s web page and make any necessary amendments to it to ensure that my Personal Data is up to date, and
that PwC AC Bangalore may not be held liable for any damages incurred by me as a result of PwC AC Bangalore’s use,
processing and transfer of inaccurate Personal Data provided by me.
I hereby consent to having modifications to my Personal Data done in electronic format rather than in writing. If,
however, wherever this option is available to me, I choose to send any requests for modifications of my Personal Data
to PwC AC Bangalore other than in the electronic format, I acknowledge and agree that delays can occur in the
processing by PwC AC Bangalore of this written request for modification and that additional PwC AC Bangalore
employees and/or agents may have to access certain of my Personal Data for that purpose.

I agree to promptly notify PwC AC Bangalore in writing of any change in my Personal Data or any unauthorized use or
unauthorized disclosure of my Personal Data.
I understand that I may, at any time, withdraw the consents hereby given to the processing by PwC AC Bangalore
and/or its agents of my Personal Data by notifying PwC AC Bangalore in writing of such withdrawal. As a result of my
consent withdrawal, in certain cases, I may no longer be eligible for certain benefits, including employment and/or
employment benefits and services currently provided to me by PwC AC Bangalore and/or the third parties selected by
PwC AC Bangalore to render such services to the extent the Personal Data affected by my consent withdrawal was
necessary to process my benefits.
I agree to abide by all policies of PwC AC Bangalore, including the Protection of Personal Data Policy as this Policy
can be modified from time to time at PwC AC Bangalore’s sole discretion.
Exhibit E
Past Employment Related Obligations
This is with reference to the Employment Offer Letter and Terms and Conditions of Employment issued to me by
PricewaterhouseCoopers Service Delivery Center – Bangalore Private Limited (“PwC AC”), which were duly accepted
by me and constitute my employment agreement with PwC AC (“Employment Agreement”).
I hereby represent, warrant, confirm and reiterate to PwC AC that I am currently not subject to any agreement,
arrangement, understanding or legal obligation to any prior employer or other party which restricts or prohibits me
from being employed by PwC AC or fully performing any of my duties under the Employment Agreement or engaging
in any activity that I am required or expected to perform in connection with my employment with PwC AC. I have
complied with all my post-termination obligations and will comply with continuing obligations with my previous
employers and no person or entity has any claim against me.
I agree and undertake to keep in confidence all proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired by me in any of
my previous employments and refrain from disclosing the same to PwC AC, bringing it into PwC AC’s premises, using
it in the performance of my duties for PwC AC or inducing PwC AC to use the same.
I understand that I will be solely liable if any information or material disclosed or used by me during my employment
with PwC AC infringes on any trademarks, copyrights, patents, or any other intellectual property of any previous
employer or any other third-party or violates my continuing confidentiality obligations towards them. I agree to
indemnify, protect and hold harmless PwC AC (including its directors, officers and employees) for any loss, damage
or other liability incurred by it (including its directors, officers and employees) for any act done or omission on my part
during my employment with PwC AC which is not in good faith or without exercise of due diligence, honesty and
fairness and which is in breach of the provisions of this undertaking.
The undertaking constitutes an integral part of my employment terms with PwC AC and is to be read in conjunction
with my Employment Agreement.
