Exhibit 10.23
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2018 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN OF
RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND ITS AFFILIATES
FORM OF PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT
PERFORMANCE UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) as of the [DAY] day of [MONTH, YEAR] (the “Award Date”) between Resideo Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and [EMPLOYEE NAME] (the “Participant”).
|
1. |
Grant of Performance Unit Award. The Company has granted you performance units as an Award subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions (the “Performance Units”), subject to the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliates (the “Plan”). The number of Performance Units awarded to you represents a target award for the applicable Performance Cycle (as defined below) (the “Target Award”). |
[The details for this grant can be found on [●]. The Company reserves the right to change or correct any information contained on the [●] website to reflect the terms of the Award actually made by the Company on the Grant Date or the Plan.]1
|
2. |
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions apply: |
|
|
a. |
“Actual Award” means (A) the product of (i) the Plan Payout Percentage (as determined under Section 3), and (ii) your Target Award. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may reduce the amount of your Actual Award in its sole discretion. |
|
|
b. |
“Performance Cycle” means the [INSERT PERFORMANCE CYCLE DATES]. |
|
3. |
Performance Measures. The Plan Payout Percentage shall be determined based on |
[DESCRIBE PERFORMANCE MEASURES].
|
4. |
Target Value. Each Performance Unit has a target value of $[●] (the “Target Value”). |
|
5. |
Timing of Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the vesting and payment of an Actual Award is contingent upon (i) the achievement of a Plan Payout Percentage based on the Performance Measures as described in Section 3, and (ii) you remaining actively employed by the Company on the payment date. |
Thus, for example, if you are receiving pay from the Company but not actively performing services on the payment date (including, but not limited to, severance periods, notice periods, and grandfathered vacation periods), you will not be considered “active” for purposes of payment of the Actual Award.

If an Actual Award is earned, you will receive the resulting payout no later than [March 15th] of the year following the end of the Performance Cycle (subject, of course, to the active employment criteria described herein).
|
6. |
Form of Payment. The Actual Award shall be paid in a single lump sum, either in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”), at the discretion of the Committee. Your Actual Award shall be expressed in U.S. dollars. Cash payment shall be made in the same currency as your pay (“Local Currency”). If you receive pay in more than one Local Currency, the currency used for payment will be at the discretion of the Company or your employer. The Company will convert your Actual Award from U.S. dollars to your Local Currency using the exchange rate in effect for the compensation planning cycle in the year of payment (i.e., the same rate used for converting annual bonuses to local currency in the first quarter of the year of payment). If your Actual Award is paid in Shares, the number of Shares shall be determined by dividing the Actual Award by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Shares on the last day of the Performance Cycle. Fractional Shares will be paid in cash. No payments will be credited with interest, and you may not defer any portion of the Actual Award. |
|
7. |
Termination of Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if your Termination of Service occurs for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement before the payment date, the Performance Units will immediately be forfeited and your rights with respect to future payments under this Agreement will end. |
|
8. |
Death, Disability or Retirement. If your Termination of Service occurs before the payment date because of your death, Retirement or Disability, you or your estate will receive the prorated value of your Actual Award. The prorated value of the Actual Award shall be determined by multiplying the Actual Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days you were actively employed before your death, Retirement or termination due to Disability from the first day of the Performance Cycle, and the denominator of which is the total number of days from the first day of the Performance Cycle to the last day of the Performance Cycle. Such prorated Actual Award shall be paid in a single lump sum following the Performance Cycle at the same time payments are made to other Performance Unit grantees. If your Retirement triggers the applicability of this Section 8, then as a condition thereof you hereby agree that for the remainder of any applicable continued vesting period or Performance Cycle, you will (i) remain available to provide service to the Company on an as-requested basis (which service, for purposes of compliance with Section 409A of the Code, shall not exceed 20% of your pre-Termination of Service level of Service to the Company) and (ii) execute, in the discretion of the Company, a non-competition agreement in favor of the Company in the form provided by the Company. |

|
|
a. |
Rollover of Performance Units. If your Performance Units are adjusted or exchanged pursuant to the Plan (concerning rollover of outstanding awards in certain circumstances), then (x) if you incur an involuntary Termination of Service not for Cause (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) or a voluntary Termination of Service for Good Reason (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) on or before the second anniversary of the date of the Change in Control and after the Performance Cycle has ended, your unpaid Actual Award will be paid (in cash or Shares, as determined by the Committee) no later than the earlier of 90 days after the Termination of Service or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Termination of Service occurs, or (y) if you incur an involuntary Termination of Service not for Cause (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) or a voluntary Termination of Service for Good Reason (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) during the two-year period following the Change in Control and before the Performance Cycle has ended, an amount equal to the Target Value, prorated to reflect the portion of the full Performance Cycle that elapsed before such Termination of Service, will be paid (in cash or Shares, as determined by the Committee) no later than the earlier of 90 days after the Termination of Service or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Termination of Service occurs. |
|
|
b. |
Cashout of Awards. Unless adjusted or exchanged pursuant to the Plan, an amount equal to the Actual Award, determined based on achievement of the Performance Measures through the date of the Change in Control (as determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control), and pro-rated to reflect the portion of the Performance Cycle that elapsed prior to the Change in Control, will be paid (in cash or Shares, as determined by the Committee) no later than the earlier of 90 days after your Termination of Service (if applicable) or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs. |
|
11. |
Change in Status. If your role within the Company changes during the Performance Cycle such that you would no longer be eligible to receive Performance Units, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if no such change had occurred. |

|
20. |
Incorporation of Other Agreements. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the Performance Units.
