 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

JV
JV
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.

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:
I. 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,

II. 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.

III. 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.

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;
and
(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.
