The number of PSUs subject to this Agreement is expressed as a Target Award, subject to modification based on actual performance. The number of PSUs subject to the Target Award is set forth in the records of the Company and has been communicated to the Grantee either (1) directly to the Grantee by the Company, or (2) electronically by the Company to the Grantee through the website of a third party administrator engaged by the Company. This Award is made under the terms of the Sysco Corporation 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the terms of which are incorporated into this Agreement.
By accepting this Award, the Grantee confirms consent to the terms of the post-employment covenants communicated to the Grantee as a condition precedent to this Award, including the associated limitations on the Grantee’s behavior following termination of employment. The Grantee further acknowledges receipt of the Plan and the Plan Prospectus.
The following dates and defined terms are applicable for this Award:

Performance Criteria: The performance criteria shown in Appendix B (“Performance Criteria”) must be met for any Stock to be issued pursuant to an Award under this Agreement. There may be different performance criteria for different business, geographic or other organizational units that is not shown on Appendix B. The performance criteria that apply originally shall be based on the business, geographic or other organizational unit in which a Grantee is employed on the date the Award is granted. Should the Grantee move to a different business, geographic or organizational unit, or to an Affiliated Company, during the Performance Period, proration or adjustments shall be made pursuant to guidelines established by the Company from time to time. The number of shares of Stock that may be issued on the Payment Date shall be determined based upon the Target Award and the schedule shown in Appendix B, subject to Sections 1 and 3, and in the case of transfer, to the above-mentioned guidelines.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT
(1) General Conditions. This Award is in the form of PSUs that settle in Stock on the Payment Date, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 below in the event of the Grantee’s death. If the conditions set forth in this Agreement are satisfied, the number of shares of Stock earned based on actual performance achieved
1
will be calculated as of the Certification Date and issued to the Grantee on the Payment Date. If these conditions are not satisfied, the Award shall be forfeited. Capitalized terms in this Agreement refer to defined terms in the Plan, except as otherwise defined herein.
(a) Continuous Employment. Except as provided in Section 3 or in Appendix A, the Stock shall be issued on the Payment Date only if the Grantee is continuously employed by the Company, or if different, the Grantee’s employer (the “Employer”), or an Affiliated Company from the award date until the end of the Performance Period.
(b) Performance Conditions. The Stock shall be issuable only if (and to the extent) that the Performance Criteria, set forth herein, are satisfied during the Performance Period. The Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) shall certify whether, and to what extent, the Performance Criteria have been achieved with respect to the Performance Period. If actual performance does not meet the levels associated with the minimum performance necessary for any PSUs to be earned (“Threshold,” as set forth in Appendix B), no Stock shall be issued and the Award shall be forfeited. If actual performance achieved exceeds the levels associated with maximum performance target(s) (“Maximum” as set forth in Appendix B), no additional PSUs may be earned over the Maximum. Straight-line interpolation will be applied to determine the resulting amount of PSUs earned if actual performance falls between multiple payment amounts corresponding to alternative performance levels specified in Appendix B.
(2) Stock, Dividends and Voting Rights.
(a) Issuance of Stock and Voting Rights. On the Payment Date, or as otherwise provided in Section 3 below in the event of the Grantee’s death, the number of shares of Stock equal to the number of PSUs earned based on the Performance Criteria shall be issued to the Grantee, provided all conditions set forth in Section 1 above are satisfied. Except as provided herein and in Section 3 below in the event of the Grantee’s death, the Award shall be settled in shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee works or resides outside the United States, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the PSUs in the form of a cash payment to the extent settlement in shares of Stock: (i) is prohibited under local law, (ii) would require the Grantee, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Grantee’s country, or (iii) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the PSUs in shares of Stock but require the Grantee to sell such shares of Stock immediately or within a specified period following the Grantee’s termination of employment (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on the Grantee’s behalf). Prior to the Payment Date, the Grantee shall have no rights with respect to the shares of Stock, including but not limited to rights to sell, vote, exchange, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Stock. In addition, prior to the Payment Date, the Grantee shall not be entitled to receive dividends and shall not have any other rights with respect to the Stock.
(b) Dividend Equivalents. Subject to Appendix A, to the extent the Grantee holds PSUs under this Award the Grantee will be credited with a dividend equivalent payment on each PSU upon the payment by the Company of any cash dividend on a share of Stock equal to the amount of such dividend per share of Stock, which dividend equivalent payment shall be payable in cash (or if elected by the Committee in its sole discretion, in Shares having a Fair Market Value as of the Certification Date equal to the amount of such dividends) on the Payment Date to the extent the underlying PSUs are earned. If and to the extent any PSUs subject to this Award are forfeited, any related dividend equivalent payment shall also be forfeited and no dividend equivalent payment shall be paid in respect of that portion of the Award which is forfeited and is not earned based on the achievement of the Performance Criteria applicable to the Award or the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 1 above.

Written notice to said addresses shall be effective to bind the Company, the Grantee and the Grantee’s representatives and beneficiaries.
(6) Responsibility for Taxes.
(a) Irrespective of any action taken by the Company or the Employer, the Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, social security, national insurance contributions, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the responsibility of the Grantee or the Grantee’s estate (as applicable) and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Grantee acknowledges and understands that the requirements with respect to the Tax-Related Items may change from time to time as applicable laws or interpretations change.
(b) Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company, the Employer, and their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items withholding obligations by one or a combination of the following:
(1) withholding from the Grantees’ wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer, or any other payment of any kind otherwise due to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer; or
(2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Award, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or
(3) retention of or withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Award having a Fair Market Value that is sufficient to satisfy the Tax-Related Items.
The Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 6(b) of the Agreement, the Company, the Employer or their respective agents, as applicable, intend to withhold shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Award having a Fair Market Value that is sufficient to satisfy the Tax-Related Items, unless the Grantee pays the applicable withholding amount in cash prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, in accordance with procedures established by the Company, the Employer or their respective agents, as applicable. Further, if the Grantee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2
4
promulgated thereunder, the Company will withhold in shares of Stock unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable law or has materially adverse accounting or tax consequences, in which case, the withholding obligation may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods set forth in Section 6(b)(1) and (2) above.
(d) If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full amount of Stock subject to the Award, notwithstanding that an amount of Stock are retained solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(e) In addition, the Grantee shall pay to 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 the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Stock or the proceeds of the sale of Stock, if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
(f) The Grantee further acknowledges 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 Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the issuance of Stock upon settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges 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.
(7) Compensation and Leadership Development Committee. The Grantee hereby agrees that any change, interpretation, determination or modification of this Agreement by the Committee shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and on all persons including the Company and the Grantee; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or modification of the Plan which affects the Award made hereby, the Committee shall have determined that such amendment or modification is in the best interests of the Grantee of such Award.
(8) Prohibited Activities; Post-Employment Covenants; Additional Remedies of Clawback and Recoupment.
(a) Notwithstanding any other term of the Agreement or any prior agreement to the contrary, in order to be eligible to earn any portion of the Award, the Grantee must have entered into an agreement containing restrictive covenants concerning limitations of the Grantee’s behavior both during employment and following termination of employment that is satisfactory to the Company or one of its Affiliated Companies. In the event the Grantee engages in any action that violates any such restrictive covenants at any time during the term of the Agreement, the Award shall be forfeited. The Grantee further agrees that to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon demand by the Company or one of its Affiliated Companies, the Grantee will forfeit, return or repay the “Benefits and Proceeds” (as defined below) in the event the Grantee breaches any post-employment covenant with the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries.

(ii) to the extent the Grantee has received any Stock in satisfaction of this Award and no longer owns the shares of Stock so acquired, cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market
5
Value of such shares of Stock on the date such payment is demanded by the Company (which, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, shall be equal to the closing sale price during regular trading hours of the shares of Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on such date); and
(iii) to the extent the Grantee has not received any Stock in satisfaction of this Award, all of the Grantee’s remaining rights, title or interest in the Award.
(9) Modification of Agreement. If any of the terms of this Agreement may, in the opinion of the Company, conflict or be inconsistent with any applicable law or regulation of any governmental agency having jurisdiction, the Company reserves the right to modify this Agreement to be consistent with applicable laws or regulations. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the party against which enforcement is sought, except where specifically provided to the contrary herein.
(10) Data Privacy. To the extent that consent is required, the Grantee hereby consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Affiliated Company for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
The Grantee understands that the Employer, the Company and any Affiliated Companies may hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including but not limited to his or her name, home address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, social security number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company and details of all Awards or any other entitlements to shares of Stock awarded, cancelled, vested, unvested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering or managing the Plan. Certain Data may also constitute “sensitive personal data” within the meaning of applicable local law. Such Data includes, but is not limited to, the information provided above and any changes thereto and other appropriate personal and financial data about the Grantee. The Grantee hereby provides explicit consent to the Company, the Employer and any Affiliated Companies to process any such Data to the extent it is necessary for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
The Grantee understands that Data will be transferred, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, to such equity plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Grantee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have data privacy laws and protections which provide standards of protection that are different to, or lower than, the standards provided by the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country. The Grantee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Grantee authorizes the Company, the Company’s equity service plan provider and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources
6
representative. Further, the Grantee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Grantee Awards or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Grantee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Grantee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
(11) Nature of Award. In accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that to the maximum extent permitted by law:

(g) for the purposes of the Award, unless otherwise specified by the Company or any Affiliated Company, the Grantee’s employment will be considered terminated as of the date the Grantee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Affiliated Companies (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later to be found invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of the Grantee’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Grantee’s right to earn any portion of the Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Grantee’s period of service would not include any contractual, statutory or common law notice period or period during with the Grantee is in receipt of pay in lieu of such notice or severance pay, or any period of “garden leave”, or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of the Grantee’s employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Award (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to be employed while on a leave of absence);

(j) the PSUs and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or services contract with the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Company, as applicable, to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service relationship (if any).

For Performance Period FY2021 - FY2022
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Grantee under the Plan if the Grantee works in one of the countries listed below. If the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or if the Grantee transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the award date, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions herein will be applicable to the Grantee.
Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the same meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement, as applicable.
Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other tax or legal issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of July 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date when the Award vests, Stock are issued to the Grantee and/or the Grantee sells Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s country may apply to his or her situation. Furthermore, additional privacy laws may apply in the Grantee’s country.
Finally, if the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or if the Grantee transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the award date, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee in the same manner.
EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”) / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”)/UNITED KINGDOM (“UK”)
Terms and Conditions
Data Privacy
If the Grantee resides and/or is employed in the EU/EEA/UK, Section 10 of the Agreement shall be replaced with the following:
The Company, being the applicable data controller, is located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, X.X.X. and grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Affiliated Companies in its sole discretion. The Grantee should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices.
(a)Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Grantee is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses certain personally-identifiable information about the Grantee for the legitimate interest of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and generally administering equity awards; specifically, including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address and
A-1
telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. In granting the Awards under the Plan, the Company will collect the Grantee’s personal data for purposes of allocating shares of Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and use of the Grantee’s personal data is that it is necessary for the performance of the Company’s contractual obligations under the Plan and performance of the Agreement. The Grantee’s refusal to provide personal data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, the Grantee voluntarily acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of the Grantee’s personal data as described herein. The Company shall implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the Grantee’s personal data.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers participant data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services LLC an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company shall ensure that this, and any subsequent, administrator contractually agree to comply with legally required data protection obligations to protect the Grantee’s personal data. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share the Grantee’s data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Stock. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to the Grantee if the Grantee’s personal data is transferred to the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s personal data to the United States is the performance of contractual obligations to the Grantee and it shall its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.
(d)Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantee’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantee’s personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the Grantee’s data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.
Data Subject Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantee’s country, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of all recipients of the Grantee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise the Grantee’s rights, the Grantee should contact his or her local human resources department.

Discretionary Nature of the Plan
By accepting the grant of PSUs, the Grantee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.
The Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted PSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Grantee understands that the PSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the PSUs and the shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the PSUs shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Grantee understands that this grant would not be made to the Grantee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the grant of PSUs shall be null and void.
The Grantee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the grant of PSUs, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, any unvested PSUs as of the date the Grantee ceases active employment, will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Stock or to any amount of indemnification in the event of termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a termination of employment on the PSUs.
Termination for Cause
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Agreement, “Cause” shall be defined as set forth in the Plan, regardless of whether a termination of employment is considered a fair termination (i.e., “despido procedente”) under Spanish legislation.
