RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

Gentherm Incorporated, a Michigan corporation (the “Corporation”), as permitted by the Gentherm Incorporated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), hereby grants to the individual listed below (the “Participant”), a restricted stock award as described herein, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (“Agreement”).

Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement have the same meaning as defined in the Plan.

1. NOTICE OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD.

Participant:

Grant Date:

Number of Shares of Restricted Stock in Award:

2. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD. The Corporation hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of restricted common stock (“Restricted Stock”) set forth in the table above. By clicking the “ACCEPT” button, the Participant agrees to the following: “This electronic contract contains my electronic signature, which I have executed with the intent to sign this Agreement.”

3. VESTING. Subject to the Participant’s continued service with the Corporation, the Restricted Stock shall vest on such date that is the earlier of (a) the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation and (b) the first anniversary of the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation (the “Vesting Date”). 4. TERMINATION OF SERVICES; FORFEITURE. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a) Termination for Any Reason. Any unvested shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Award shall be immediately canceled and forfeited if the Participant’s continued service with the Corporation is terminated for any reason.

(b) Discretion to Accelerate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Committee retains the right to accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Stock subject to this Award.

5. CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control, the Restricted Stock shall be subject to the provisions of Section 24 of the Plan.

6. SECTION 83(B). If Participant properly elects (as required by Section 83(b) of the Code) within 30 days after the Grant Date to include in Participant’s gross income for federal income tax purposes in the year of issuance the fair market value of the Restricted Stock, Participant shall pay to the Corporation or make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation to pay to the Corporation upon such election, any foreign, federal, state or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock. If Participant shall fail to make such payment, the Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s sole responsibility, and not the Corporation’s responsibility, to file timely and properly the election under Section 83(b) of the Code and any corresponding provisions of state tax laws if Participant elects to make such election, and Participant agrees to provide the Corporation with a copy of any such election within ten (10) calendar days of making such election.

7. RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. Except for the potential forfeitability of the Restricted Stock before the occurrence of a Vesting Date, Participant has all rights of a shareholder (including voting and dividend rights)

commencing on the Grant Date, subject to Participant’s execution of this Agreement. With respect to any dividends that are paid with respect to the Restricted Stock between the date of this Agreement and the end of any applicable restricted period, such dividends (whether payable in cash or shares) shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock, including any forfeiture provisions described in Section 2 hereof.

8. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of any stock dividend, reclassification, subdivision or combination, or similar transaction affecting this Award, the rights of the Participant will be adjusted as provided in Section 5(d) of the Plan.

9. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD. Without the express written consent of the Committee, which may be withheld for any reason in its sole discretion, neither the Restricted Stock nor any interest in the Restricted Stock may be transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or borrowed against, except for a transfer under the laws of descent or distribution as a result of the death of the Participant. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant’s executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns.  Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or borrow against the Restricted Stock in violation of this Section 9 in any manner shall be null and void and without legal force or effect.

10. RESTRICTED STOCK CERTIFICATE LEGEND. The Corporation will either issue a stock certificate or certificates representing the shares of Restricted Stock (the “Certificate”) and register the Certificate in the Participant’s name, or make such other arrangements with its stock transfer agent to issue uncertificated interests, including in book-entry form (“Book Entry”). If a Certificate is issued, it will be deposited with the Corporation, together with a stock power endorsed in blank by the Participant. A legend will be placed upon such Certificate as provided below. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Award, upon the lapse of the restricted period applicable to such shares of Restricted Stock or any portion of them (prior to cancelation and forfeiture), the Corporation will cause the Certificate deposited with the Corporation to be reissued and delivered to the Participant without such legend. If a Book Entry is made, the Corporation will issue “stop transfer” instructions with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock until the lapse of the restricted period applicable to such shares of Restricted Stock or any portion of them (prior to cancelation and forfeiture). Each Certificate representing shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement shall initially bear the following legend:

“THE SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, WHETHER VOLUNTARY, INVOLUNTARY, OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE GENTHERM INCORPORATED 2013 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN, AND IN A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT. A COPY OF THE PLAN AND SUCH RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARY OF GENTHERM INCORPORATED.”

11. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. The Participant shall be responsible for all taxes required by law to be withheld by the Corporation or a Subsidiary in respect of the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock, and the Corporation may make any arrangements it deems appropriate to ensure payment of any such tax by the Participant. In its Discretion and by way of example and without limitation (i) the Corporation may require the Participant to make a cash payment to the Corporation in an amount equal to any such withholding tax obligation at the time or at any time after such withholding tax obligation is due and payable, (ii) the Corporation may retain and not issue to the Participant that number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable that have a then value equal to the amount of any such withholding tax, or (iii) the Corporation or any Subsidiary may collect any such withholding tax by reducing any compensation or other amount otherwise then or thereafter owing by the Corporation or any Subsidiary to the Participant.
