AWARD AGREEMENT
(ARR Awards)
Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement shall have the same defined meanings as set forth in the Xxxxxxx Inc. Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Plan (the “Plan”).
Name: [Participant Name]
Employee ID: [Employee ID]
You have been awarded the right to receive Common Stock of the Company or a cash equivalent, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement, including any special terms and conditions for your country as may be set forth in an appendix attached hereto (the “Award Agreement”), as follows:
Date of Grant: [Grant Date]
Target Number of Performance Stock Units (“Target Units”): [# of Shares] PSUs
Vesting Schedule
Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Performance Stock Units granted under this Award Agreement vest on the last date of the Performance Period (as set forth in Schedule A), but only (i) to the extent the Performance Goals (as set forth in Schedule A) are attained, as determined in accordance with the paragraph below and (ii) as long as you continue to be a Service Provider, as further described in the ‘Nature of Award’ section below (see paragraph 11 thereunder), from the date of grant of the Performance Stock Units through the last date of the Performance Period.
As soon as reasonably practicable after the completion of the Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine the actual level of attainment of the Performance Goals. On the basis of the determination of attainment of the Performance Goals, the number of Performance Stock Units that are eligible to vest shall be calculated.
Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding:
(1) In the event that you cease to be a Service Provider as a result of your death prior to the last day of the Performance Period, you shall vest, with respect to each Scoring Window, in a number of Performance Stock Units equal to the product of the number of Performance Stock Units that become eligible to vest with respect to the applicable Scoring Window based on the attainment level of the Performance Goals calculated as of the end of the corresponding Scoring Window, multiplied by the Pro Rata Factor, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Performance Stock Units. “Pro Rata Factor” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that you have completed as a Service Provider during the period commencing on the date of grant of the Performance Stock Units and ending on the date that is the earliest of your death or the Shortened Performance Attainment Date (as defined below), and the denominator of which is the number of total days contained in the period commencing on the date of grant of the Performance Stock Units and ending on the last day of the corresponding Scoring Window.
(2) In the event of a Change in Control, (a) if the last day of a Scoring Window precedes the Change in Control, the Performance Stock Units subject to any such Scoring Window that became eligible to vest based on the attainment of the Performance Goals shall vest as of the date that the attainment level has been determined in accordance with the procedures described under the “Vesting Schedule” section and (b) if the last day of a Scoring Window postdates the Change in Control, (i) each such Scoring Window shall be shortened to end on a date preceding the consummation of the Change in Control to be selected by the Administrator (the “Shortened Performance Attainment Date”), (ii) with respect to each such Scoring Window, a number of Performance Stock Units shall vest immediately prior to the Change in Control equal to the product of the number of Performance Stock Units that become eligible to vest with respect to the applicable Scoring Window based on the attainment level of the Performance Goals calculated as of the Shortened Performance Attainment Date, multiplied by the Pro Rata Factor (the “Pro Rata Portion”), rounded up to the nearest whole number of Performance Stock Units, and (iii) a number of Performance Stock Units equal to the difference between the number of Performance Stock Units that became eligible to vest based on
attainment of the Performance Goals and the Pro Rata Portion shall vest on the last day of the Performance Period, as long as you continue to be a Service Provider, as further described in paragraph 11 of the “Nature of Award” section below, through the last date of the Performance Period (the “Time-Based RSUs”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you cease to be a Service Provider as a result of your involuntary termination by the Company (or an Affiliate) within one year following the Change in Control and prior to the last day of the Performance Period, your Time-Based RSUs shall vest automatically as of the date you cease to be a Service Provider. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Cause” shall mean, as determined by the Company: (AA) your performance of any act or omission which, if you were prosecuted, would constitute a felony or misdemeanor; (BB) your failure to carry out your material duties; (CC) your dishonesty towards or fraud upon the Company or any Affiliate which is injurious to the Company or any Affiliate; (DD) your violation of any Company or Affiliate practice or agreement or confidentiality obligations to the Company, any Affiliate, or any customers of the Company or any Affiliate, or misappropriation of assets of the Company or any Affiliate; (EE) your death or inability to carry out your essential duties with reasonable accommodation, if any, unless prohibited by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a party to a Change in Control Severance Agreement, then this paragraph (2) shall not apply; provided, however, that if such agreement does not address accelerated vesting with respect to Scoring Windows, as contemplated under this paragraph (2), then this paragraph (2) shall apply. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Time-Based RSUs shall be subject to Section 14(c) of the Plan.
(3) In the event that you have been selected to participate in the Company Age and Service Equity Vesting Program (the “Vesting Program”) on or before the date of grant of the Performance Stock Units, this Award Agreement shall also be subject to the terms of the Vesting Program.
(4) If you are a party to an Executive Severance Agreement with the Company, this Award Agreement shall also be subject to the terms of such Executive Severance Agreement.
Settlement
For each vested Performance Stock Unit, you shall be entitled to receive:
(1) a number of whole Shares equal to the number of Performance Stock Units vesting on such vesting date, or
(2) a cash payment equal to the product of the number of Performance Stock Units vesting on such vesting date and the Fair Market Value of one Share on such vesting date or
(3) a combination of the foregoing at the Company’s discretion under the terms of the Plan.
The vested Performance Stock Units shall be paid as follows:
(i) during the first 74 days of the calendar year immediately following the end of the Performance Period (including Performance Stock Units that vest in connection with the vesting events described under paragraphs (1), (2)(a) and 2(b)(iii) (i.e., the Time-Based RSUs vesting upon attainment of the service vesting requirement) under the “Vesting Schedule” section above; or
(ii) with respect to the (A) Pro Rata Portion, described in paragraph (2)(b)(ii) under the “Vesting Schedule” section above, such Pro Rata Portion shall be paid within 30 days following a Change in Control, or if the Performance Stock Units constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, a “change in control event” within the meaning of US. Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5), and (B) Time-Based RSUs payable upon a cessation of service as a result of your involuntary termination, described in paragraph (2)(b)(iii) under the “Vesting Schedule” section above, such Time-Based RSUs shall be paid within 30 days following the date you cease to be a Service Provider.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent this Award Agreement is subject to a Change in Control Severance Agreement, an Executive Severance Agreement or the Vesting Program, the settlement terms of such agreement or program shall control with respect to the Performance Stock Units to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
Forfeiture
Except as provided above under the heading “Vesting Schedule,” upon the date that you cease to be a Service Provider for any reason, all unvested Performance Stock Units shall be forfeited. The date you cease to be a Service Provider for purposes of the Award will be the date described in paragraph (11) of the “Nature of Award” section below.
Tax Obligations
You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Performance Stock Units, the issuance of Shares (or the cash equivalent) upon settlement of the Performance Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of this Award or any aspect of the Performance Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge 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.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to fulfill all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(1) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; or
(2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of the Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Performance Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization and without further consent); or
(3) withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement or from the cash payment received at settlement (if any) of the Performance Stock Units;
provided, however, that if you are a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, any applicable obligations for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (1) – (2) above.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including up to the maximum applicable permissible statutory rate for your tax jurisdiction(s), in which case you will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares and may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash in accordance with applicable law. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Performance Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the withholding obligation for the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, you agree to pay 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 your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares (or the cash equivalent) or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Code Section 409A
The vesting and settlement of Performance Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Award Agreement are intended to qualify for the “short-term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code or comply with Section 409A of the Code. In furtherance of this intent, the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions. The Administrator reserves the right, to the extent the Administrator deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Award Agreement to ensure that the Performance Stock Units qualify for exemption from or comply with Section 409A of the Code or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax
consequences that may apply under Section 409A of the Code if compliance is not practical; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Performance Stock Units will be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to these Performance Stock Units. Nothing in this Award Agreement shall provide a basis for any person to take any action against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates based on matters covered by Section 409A of the Code, including the tax treatment of this Award Agreement, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will have any liability under any circumstances to you or any other party if the Performance Stock Units that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Administrator with respect thereto.

Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy of the Company. You are responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult your personal legal advisor on such matters.
Data Privacy Information and Consent
The Company is located at [Company Address] and grants Performance Stock Units to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, at the Company’s sole discretion. If you would like to participate in the Plan, you should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices and declare your consent.
(a) Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses your personal data, including your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all
Performance Stock Units canceled, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you or the Employer. If the Company offers you a grant of Performance Stock Units under the Plan, then the Company will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of your personal data would be your consent.
(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers participant data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC (“Fidelity”), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share your data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for you to receive and trade Shares. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan.
(c) International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. You should note that your country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies only to the extent companies register for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program, which is open to companies subject to Federal Trade Commission jurisdiction and in which the Company does participate with respect to employee data. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of your personal data is your consent.
(d) Data Retention. The Company will use your personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws. When the Company no longer needs your personal data, the Company will remove it from it from its systems. If the Company keeps data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.
(e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Your participation in the Plan and your grant of consent is purely voluntary. You may deny or withdraw your consent at any time. If you do not consent, or if you withdraw your consent, you cannot participate in the Plan. This would not affect your salary as an employee or your career; you would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(f) Data Subject Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your country. For example, in the European Union, your rights include the right to (a) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (b) rectification of incorrect data, (c) deletion of data, (d) restrictions on processing, (e) to lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country, and/or (f) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data. To receive clarification regarding your rights or to exercise your rights please contact the Company at [stock admin email address].
By clicking on the data privacy acceptance box in the Company’s electronic procedures, you am declaring that you agree with the data processing practices described herein and consent to the collection, processing and use of your personal data by the Company and the transfer of personal data to the recipients mentioned above, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described above.

SCHEDULE A
PERFORMANCE GOAL SCHEDULE
1. Eligible Number of Performance Stock Units
The actual number of Performance Stock Units that are eligible to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule of the Award Agreement shall be based on the attainment level of the Performance Goals set forth below, in accordance with the following formula:
§ The product of Target Units, multiplied by the ARR Factor (defined below).
2. Performance Period:
The “Performance Period” covers [three fiscal years, ending ____], with the Performance Goals scored in one “Scoring Window” equal to and covering the entire Performance Period.
3. Performance Goals:
The “ARR Factor” is based on the increase in the Company’s year-end ARR (as defined below) during the Performance Period and shall be determined by reference to the Company’s actual ARR for [the final fiscal year] set forth in the following table, with performance in between the actual attainment levels determined by interpolation on a linear basis. The first and second columns are not used for purposes of determining the attainment level and factor but show the baseline ARR and the 3-year cumulative annual growth rate needed to achieve the respective goals.
ARR (baseline) ($M) | 3-year CAGR needed to achieve goal | [Final year] ARR, actual ($M) | ARR Factor | |||||||||||
0 | ||||||||||||||
.50x | ||||||||||||||
1.00x | ||||||||||||||
1.50x | ||||||||||||||
2.00x | (maximum) | |||||||||||||
The financial metrics used herein refer to amounts for the final fiscal year of the Performance Period, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the Company’s accounting policies (including its revenue recognition and deferred revenue policies), applied on a basis consistent with the principles, practices and procedures generally applied by the Company, with the non-GAAP adjustments described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
As used herein, the Company’s year-end ARR is based on the following definition, where “current quarter” means the last quarter of the applicable fiscal year:
“ARR” or “Annual Recurring Revenue” represents the estimated annualized value of recurring revenue, including subscription, maintenance and software revenue, and term license contracts for the quarter. ARR is calculated by adding the portion of the contract value of all of our term licenses attributable to the current quarter to our non-GAAP recurring revenue for the current quarter and dividing that sum by the number of days in the quarter and then multiplying that quotient by 365.
4. Adjustments:
The calculation of the ARR Factor shall be subject to the following adjustments:
(a) Acquisitions, Divestitures, and Currency Translation. In the case of:
(i) any individual acquisitions or divestitures by the Company completed during the Performance Period where the ARR attributable to the acquired business or of the divested business or portion of a business, computed for the most recently completed quarter prior to the consummation of the transaction, is greater than five million dollars ($5,000,000), and/or
(ii) changes in foreign exchange (FX) rates affecting currency translations during the Performance Period that have a cumulative effect on the Company’s ARR (i.e., at the Trimble company level), relative to the baseline ARR, of more than five million dollars ($5,000,000) (positive or negative),
then the calculations hereunder will be made with appropriate adjustments to the Performance Goal attainment levels and/or the Actual ARR used to determine the ARR Factor, to provide approximately similar attainment as if such event(s) had not occurred.
(b) Other Adjustments. At all times, the Administrator retains the right to make other adjustments, at its sole discretion, to the Performance Goals or the definition of or methods of determining the financial metrics hereunder, provided that such adjustments do not increase the maximum number of Performance Stock Units that would otherwise vest under this Award Agreement.
