WHEREAS, the Participant is an employee or consultant of the Company or another member of the Company Group; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined to grant performance- and service-based RSUs to the Participant as provided for herein, and the Company and the Participant hereby wish to memorialize the terms and conditions applicable to the performance- and service-based RSUs.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(h) “Retirement” shall mean the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company Group, other than (i) for Cause or while grounds for Cause exist, (ii) due to the Participant’s death or (iii) due to or during the Participant’s Disability, in each case, following the date on which both (X) the Participant attained the age of 55 years old and (Y) the number of completed years of the Participant’s employment with any member(s) of the Company Group (including any predecessor of a member thereof, including, for the avoidance of doubt, employment by Hilton Worldwide and its affiliates prior to January 3, 2017) is at least ten (10).

(i) “RSUs” shall mean that total number of performance- and service-based restricted stock units listed in the Award Notice as “Target Number of Restricted Stock Units Granted” (or such greater or lesser number of RSUs as may be vested and earned herein, as determined in the Committee’s discretion), as such number of performance- and service-based restricted stock units may be adjusted in accordance with Section 10 below.

(j) “Shares” shall mean a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs (or such greater or lesser number of shares as may be vested and earned herein, as determined in the Committee’s discretion).

2. Grant of Units. On August 2, 2021, the Company granted the RSUs to the Participant, each of which represents the right to receive one Share upon vesting of such RSUs, subject to and in accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan, the Award Notice, and this Agreement.

3. RSU Account. The Company shall cause an account (the “Unit Account”) to be established and maintained on the books of the Company to record the number of RSUs credited to the Participant under the terms of this Agreement. The Participant’s interest in the Unit Account shall be that of a general, unsecured creditor of the Company.

4. Vesting; Settlement; Tax Withholding.

(a) As promptly as practicable (and, in no event more than 70 days) following the last day of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine if and the extent to which the Performance Conditions have been satisfied (the date of such determination, the “Determination Date”), and any RSUs with respect to which the Performance Conditions have been satisfied shall become vested effective as of the last day of the Performance Period, subject to Section 5(d); provided that, unless otherwise provided in Section 5, the Participant also meets the continued employment or service condition set forth in the Award Notice. Any RSU which does not become vested effective as of the last day of the Performance Period shall be cancelled and forfeited to the Company without consideration or any further action by the Participant or the Company. In the event of an equity restructuring, the Committee shall adjust any Performance Condition to the extent it is affected by such restructuring in order to preserve (without enlarging) the likelihood that such Performance Condition shall be satisfied. The manner of such adjustment shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. For this purpose, “equity restructuring” shall mean an “equity restructuring” as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123R).

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Participant one share of Common Stock for each vested RSU (as adjusted under the Plan), pursuant to Section 4(c) below, and each such vested RSU shall be cancelled upon delivery.

Form for Employees (Other than Xxxx Xxxx)

(c) Shares, free and clear of all restrictions, shall be issued to the Participant (or his or her beneficiary) only in the event, and to the extent, that the RSUs have vested and been earned as provided in the Award Notice and in the Agreement. Upon vesting of the RSUs, Shares shall be issued to the Participant (or his or her beneficiary) within 70 days following the applicable vesting date set forth in Section 4(a) herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following provisions shall apply: (i) any Shares earned and vested due to termination of employment or service as provided in Section 5(b) or Section 5(e) shall be paid within 70 days following the Participant’s Termination Date; (ii) any Shares earned and vested following Retirement as provided in Section 5(c) shall be paid within 70 days following the applicable vesting date set forth in Section 4(a) and Section 5(c) herein; and (iii) any Shares earned and vested as a result of a Change in Control as provided in Section 5(h) shall be paid within 70 days following the date of the Change in Control. If the 70-day period described herein begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the Participant (or his or her beneficiary) shall not have the right to designate the calendar year of the payment (except as otherwise provided below with respect to a delay in payments if the Participant is a “specified employee”). Further, if calculation of the amount of the payment is not administratively practicable due to events beyond the control of the Participant (or his or her beneficiary), the payment will be treated as made within the applicable 70-day time period specified herein if the payment is made during the first taxable year of the Participant in which the calculation of the amount of the payment is administratively practicable or otherwise in accordance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is or may be a “specified employee” (as defined under Code Section 409A), and the distribution is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, then such distribution if made due to separation from service shall be subject to delay as provided in Section 14(u) of the Plan (or any successor provision thereto).

(d) The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or, if different, the Service Recipient, an amount in cash (by check or wire transfer) equal to the aggregate amount of any income, employment and/or other applicable taxes (the “Withholding Taxes”) that are statutorily required to be withheld in respect of the RSUs. Alternatively, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to satisfy this requirement by withholding such amount from any cash compensation or other cash amounts owing to the Participant. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may (but is not obligated to), in its sole discretion, permit or require the Participant to satisfy, all or any portion of the minimum Withholding Taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld with respect to the RSUs by (i) the delivery of shares of Common Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) that have been both held by the Participant and vested for any period of time as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment under GAAP having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such minimum statutorily required Withholding Taxes (or portion thereof); or (ii) having the Company withhold from the Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, the Participant upon the vesting of the RSUs, a number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to an amount not in excess of such minimum statutorily required Withholding Taxes (or portion thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, subject to its having considered the applicable accounting impact of any such determination, has full discretion to allow the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, any additional Withholding Taxes payable by him or her with respect to the RSUs by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares issuable to the Participant upon the vesting of the RSUs, a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory Withholding Taxes (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum statutory withholding amount(s) in the Participant’s relevant tax jurisdiction). Further, for non-U.S. Participants, the Company may withhold from the Shares issuable to such non-U.S. Participant upon the vesting of the RSUs, a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value up to the maximum statutory withholding amount(s) in the non-U.S. Participant’s relevant tax jurisdiction.

(e) The Company shall pay any costs incurred in connection with issuing the Shares. Upon the issuance of the Shares (to the extent earned) to the Participant, the Participant’s Unit Account shall be eliminated. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or transfer the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement unless and until such issuance or transfer shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed for trading.

5. Termination of Employment or Service.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, if the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group terminates for any reason, the unvested RSUs shall terminate as of the effective date of termination (the “Termination Date”), and all of the Participant’s rights hereunder with respect to such unvested RSUs shall cease as of the Termination Date (unless otherwise provided for by the Committee in accordance with the Plan).

(b) If the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Service Recipient during the Performance Period due to or during the Participant’s Disability or due to the Participant’s death, a pro-rated number of the target number of RSUs granted hereunder shall become vested and nonforfeitable (irrespective of performance) based on the number of days in the Performance Period prior to the Termination Date relative to the number of the days in the full Performance Period. Any RSUs that vest as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 4.

(c) In the event the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group is terminated as a result of the Participant’s Retirement, the RSUs granted hereunder shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest, notwithstanding such termination of employment or service, based on (and to the extent) the Committee’s determination that the Performance Conditions have been satisfied on the Determination Date, in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Award Notice, so long as no Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs (as determined by the Committee, or its designee, in its sole discretion) prior to the Determination Date. Any RSUs that vest as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 4. As a pre-condition to the Participant’s right to continued vesting following Retirement, the Committee, or its designee, may require the Participant to certify in writing prior to the applicable vesting date that no Restrictive Covenant Violation has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Date of Grant of the RSUs is not at least six months prior to the date of the Participant’s Retirement, any unvested RSUs shall terminate as of the Termination Date.

(d) If the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group terminates for any reason after the last day of the Performance Period and before the Determination Date (other than a termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Participant while grounds for Cause exist or without Good Reason), and no Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs before the Determination Date, then all RSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on (and to the extent) the Committee’s determination that the Performance Conditions have been satisfied on the Determination Date.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the RSUs granted hereunder shall become immediately fully vested as of the Termination Date and settled in accordance with Section 4 if the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group shall be terminated by the Company other than for Cause, or by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case if such termination of the Participant’s employment occurs within 12 months following a Change in Control (for the avoidance of doubt, a Change in Control alone shall not, also, result in any vesting hereunder), with the actual number of RSUs determined based on (i) actual performance through the Termination Date, as determined by the Committee, or (ii) if the Committee determines that measurement of actual performance cannot be reasonably assessed, the assumed achievement of target performance as determined by the Committee. [For purposes of this Agreement, the Merger shall not constitute a Change in Control.]

(f) For purposes of this Section 5, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following, without the Participant’s written consent:

Form for Employees (Other than Xxxx Xxxx)

(i) a material diminution in the Participant’s base salary;

(ii) a material diminution in the Participant’s authority, duties, responsibilities or position that are in effect as of August 3, 2021; or

(iii) a permanent reassignment by the Company or the Service Recipient of the Participant’s primary office to a location that is more than 100 miles from the Participant’s assigned primary office;

provided, however, that a termination by the Participant for any of the reasons listed in (i) through (iii) above shall not constitute a termination for Good Reason unless the Participant shall first have delivered to the Company written notice setting forth with specificity the occurrence deemed to give rise to a right to terminate for Good Reason (which notice must be given no later than 60 days after the initial occurrence of such event), and the Company fails to cure such event within 30 days after receipt of this written notice. The Participant’s employment must be terminated for Good Reason within 120 days after the occurrence of an event of Good Reason.

(g) The Participant’s rights with respect to the RSUs shall not be affected by any change in the nature of the Participant’s employment or service so long as the Participant continues to be an employee or consultant, respectively, of the Company Group. Whether (and the circumstances under which) employment or service has terminated and the determination of the Termination Date for the purposes of this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee (or, with respect to any Participant who is not a director or “officer” as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act, such action may also be taken by its designee, in each case whose good faith determination shall be final, binding and conclusive; provided, that such designee may not make any such determination with respect to the designee’s own employment for purposes of the RSUs).

(h) Without limiting the effect of Section 5(e) herein, and subject to Section 12 of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control during the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group or while any RSUs remain outstanding and eligible to vest, and prior to the completion of the Performance Period, the successor or surviving company in the Change in Control may assume or substitute for the RSUs (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and continues the RSUs), with the actual number of RSUs determined based on (i) actual performance through the date of such Change in Control, as determined by the Committee, or (ii) if the Committee determines that measurement of actual performance cannot be reasonably assessed, the assumed achievement of target performance as determined by the Committee, and such assumed or substituted RSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on continued service through the last day of the Performance Period, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan or the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the successor or surviving company in the Change in Control does not assume or substitute for the RSUs (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and does not continue the RSUs) on substantially similar terms or with substantially equivalent economic benefits (as determined by the Committee) as RSUs outstanding under the Plan immediately prior to the Change in Control, then the target number of RSUs granted hereunder shall become immediately fully vested as of the date of such Change in Control and settled in accordance with Section 4.

6. Dividend Equivalents. A Participant holding unvested RSUs shall be entitled to be credited with dividend equivalent payments (upon the payment by the Company of dividends on Shares), which shall accrue in cash without interest (unless otherwise elected by the Committee) and shall be delivered in cash (unless the Committee in its sole discretion, elects to settle such amount in shares of Common Stock, other securities, other Awards or other property having a Fair Market Value as of the settlement date equal to the amount of such dividends). Accrued dividend equivalents shall not be paid unless and until the underlying RSUs (or portion thereof) have vested. Any such dividend equivalents in respect of unvested RSUs shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after the RSUs are vested and become payable or distributable unless the Committee determines otherwise.

Form for Employees (Other than Xxxx Xxxx)

7. Restrictions on Transfer. The Participant may not assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the RSUs or the Participant’s right under the RSUs to receive Shares (unless such transfer is specifically required pursuant to a domestic relations order or by applicable law), other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against any member of the Company Group; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

8. No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Neither the Plan, the Agreement nor any action taken thereunder or hereunder shall be construed as giving the Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Service Recipient or any other member of the Company Group. The Service Recipient or any other member of the Company Group may at any time dismiss the Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or this Agreement.

9. No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the Participant shall not be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of the Shares until the Shares have been issued or delivered to the Participant.

10. Adjustments Upon Change in Capitalization. The terms of this Agreement, including the RSUs, the Participant’s Unit Account, any dividend equivalent payments accrued pursuant to Section 6 and/or the Shares, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan. This paragraph shall also apply with respect to any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution in respect of the Company’s Common Stock (whether in the form of cash or other property) to the extent provided in the Plan.

11. Award Subject to Plan. By entering into this Agreement, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant has received and read a copy of the Plan. The RSUs granted hereunder are subject to the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, in the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan shall govern and prevail.

12. Severability. If any provision of the Plan or this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to the Participant or the RSUs, or would disqualify the Plan or the RSUs under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Agreement, such provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, the Participant or the RSUs and the remainder of the Plan and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

13. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The Participant hereby irrevocably waives all right to a trial by jury in any suit, action or other proceeding instituted by or against such Participant in respect of the Participant’s rights or obligations hereunder. Any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement (or any provision incorporated by

Form for Employees (Other than Xxxx Xxxx)

reference), or any judgment entered by any court in respect of any thereof, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida, and each of the Participant, the Company, and any transferees who hold RSUs pursuant to a valid assignment, hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding, or judgment. Each of the Participant, the Company, and any transferees who hold RSUs pursuant to a valid assignment hereby irrevocably waive (a) any objections which he or she may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida and (b) any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in any inconvenient forum.

14. Language. If the Participant has received a copy of this Agreement (or the Plan or any other document related hereto or thereto) translated into a language other than English, such translated copy is qualified in its entirety by reference to the English version thereof, and in the event of any conflict the English version shall govern. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant is sufficiently proficient in English to understand the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.

15. Successors in Interest. Any successor to the Company shall have the benefits of the Company under, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement. Likewise, the Participant’s legal representative shall have the benefits of the Participant under, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement. All obligations imposed upon the Participant and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators and successors.

16. Data Privacy Consent.

The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Service Recipient, the Company and other members of the Company Group for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

Participant understands that the Company and the Service Recipient may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, passport, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all stock options, restricted stock units or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to any third parties as may be selected by the Company (presently or in the future), which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Participant 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 different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that if the Participant resides outside the United States the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the Company 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 purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Plan. The Participant understands that if the Participant resides outside the United States, the Participant may, at any time, view Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary

Form for Employees (Other than Xxxx Xxxx)

amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Participant’s local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that the Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke the Participant’s consent, the Participant’s employment status or service with the Service Recipient will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company may not be able to grant options or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that the Participant may contact the Participant’s local human resources representative.

17. Restrictive Covenants. The Participant acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates, that the Participant shall be allowed access to confidential and proprietary information (including but not limited to trade secrets) about those businesses, as well as access to the prospective and actual customers, suppliers, investors, clients and partners involved in those businesses, and the goodwill associated with the Company and its Affiliates. Participant accordingly agrees to the provisions of Appendix A to this Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other restrictive covenants or similar covenants or agreements between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates.

18. Repayment of Proceeds; Clawback Policy; Compliance with Ownership and Other Policies and Agreements.

(a) If a Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs or the Company discovers after a termination of employment or service that grounds existed for Cause at the time thereof, then the Participant shall be required, unless the Committee determines otherwise, in addition to any other remedy available (on a non-exclusive basis), to pay to the Company, within ten (10) business days of the Company’s request to the Participant therefor, an amount equal the aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment) the Participant received upon the sale or other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, the RSUs and any Shares or cash issued in respect thereof. Any reference in this Agreement to grounds existing for a termination of employment or service with Cause shall be determined without regard to any notice period, cure period or other procedural delay or event required prior to finding of or termination with Cause.

(b) The RSUs shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Committee and as in effect from time to time and (ii) applicable law. Further, to the extent that the Participant receives any amount in excess of the amount that the Participant should otherwise have received under the terms of this Agreement for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company.

(c) Without limiting the terms of the Plan, and as a condition to receiving the RSUs or any benefit hereunder, the Participant agrees that he or she shall abide by all provisions of any equity retention policy, stock ownership guidelines and/or other policies adopted by the Company or an Affiliate, each as in effect from time to time and to the extent applicable to the Participant.

By accepting this Agreement and the grant of the RSUs contemplated hereunder, the Participant expressly acknowledges that (a) the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) the grant of RSUs is a one-time benefit that does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs or other Awards under the Plan, or benefits in lieu of RSUs; (c) all determinations with respect to future grants of RSUs, if any, including the grant date, the number of Shares granted and the applicable vesting terms, shall be at the sole discretion of the Committee and/or the Company; (d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (e) the value of the RSUs is an extraordinary item of compensation that is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment or consulting contract, if any, and nothing can or must automatically be inferred from such employment or consulting contract or its consequences; (f) grants of RSUs are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose and are not to be used for calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, the Participant waives any claim on such basis, and for the avoidance of doubt, the RSUs shall not constitute an “acquired right” under the applicable law of any jurisdiction; and (g) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, the Participant hereby waives any claim to continued vesting of the RSUs or to damages or severance entitlement related to non-continuation of the RSUs beyond the period provided under the Plan or this Agreement, except to the extent of any provision to the contrary in any written employment contract or other agreement between the Service Recipient and/or any member of the Company Group and the Participant, whether any such agreement is executed before, on or after the Date of Grant.

20. Amendment of Agreement. The Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any RSUs granted hereunder or this Agreement, prospectively or retroactively (including after the Participant’s Termination); provided, that, other than as provided in the Plan or Section 2 of the Award Notice, any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to the RSUs granted hereunder shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Participant; provided, further, that in no event shall any such amendment alter the Minimum Vesting Condition. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, in the event of any act of God, war, natural disaster, aircraft grounding, revocation of operating certificate, terrorism, strike, lockout, labor dispute, work stoppage, fire, pandemic, epidemic or quarantine restriction, act of government, critical materials shortage, or any other act beyond the control of the Company, whether similar or dissimilar (each a “Force Majeure Event”), which Force Majeure Event affects the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may (i) terminate, (ii) amend or modify or (iii) suspend, delay, defer (for such period of time as the Committee may deem necessary), or substitute the RSUs granted hereunder (whether due currently or in the future), including, but not limited to, any RSUs that have accrued to the benefit of the Participant but have not yet been paid, subject to Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

21. Award Administrator. The Company may from time to time designate a third party (an “Award Administrator”) to assist the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and any RSUs granted thereunder, including, but not limited to, by sending award notices on behalf of the Company to Participants, and by facilitating through electronic means acceptance of agreements by Participants.

22. Section 409A of the Code.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. The Participant is solely

Form for Employees (Other than Xxxx Xxxx)

responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or in respect of the Participant in connection with this Agreement (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Service Recipient nor any other member of the Company Group shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold the Participant (or any beneficiary) harmless from any or all such taxes or penalties. If the RSUs are considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, references in this Agreement to “termination of employment” (and substantially similar phrases) shall mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each of the payments that may be made in respect of the RSUs shall be deemed as separate payments.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, no payments in respect of any RSU that is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code and which would otherwise be payable upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be made to such Participant prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. Following any applicable six (6) month delay, all such delayed payments shall be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest date permitted under Section 409A of the Code that is also a business day.

(c) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in this Agreement or otherwise, in the event that the timing of payments in respect of the RSUs (that would otherwise be considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code) would be accelerated upon the occurrence of (i) a Change in Control, no such acceleration shall be permitted (to the extent required under Section 409A) unless the event giving rise to the Change in Control satisfies the definition of a change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation pursuant to Section 409A of the Code or (ii) a Disability, no such acceleration shall be permitted unless the Disability also satisfies the definition of “Disability” pursuant to Section 409A of the Code if and to the extent required under Section 409A of the Code.

23. Restriction on Restricted Stock Unit Award and Shares. The obligation of the Company to settle the RSUs in Shares or other consideration shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any Shares underlying the RSUs unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel (if the Company has requested such an opinion), satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the Shares. The Committee shall have the authority to provide that all Shares shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, this Agreement, the Federal securities laws or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted and any other applicable Federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, rules, regulations and other requirements, and, without limiting the generality of the Plan, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on certificates representing the Shares. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to the Special Transaction Incentive Performance- and Service-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order that this Agreement complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction this Agreement is subject. The Committee may cancel the RSUs or any portion thereof if it determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or

Form for Employees (Other than Xxxx Xxxx)

contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of the Shares to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of the Shares from the Company and/or the Participant’s sale of Common Stock to the public markets, illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any portion of the RSUs in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall, subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, provide the Participant with a cash payment or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to the RSUs.

24. Book Entry Delivery of Shares. Whenever reference in this Agreement is made to the issuance or delivery of certificates representing one or more Shares, the Company may elect to issue or deliver such Shares in book entry form in lieu of certificates.

25. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

26. Acceptance and Agreement by the Participant. By accepting the RSUs (including through electronic means), the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan, this Agreement and the Company’s policies, as in effect from time to time, relating to the Plan.

27. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

28. Appendices For Non-U.S. Participants. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, Participants residing and/or working outside the United States shall be subject to the Terms and Conditions for Non-U.S. Participants attached hereto as Appendix B and to any Country-Specific Terms and Conditions for the Participant’s country attached hereto as Appendix C. If the Participant relocates from the United States to another country, the Terms and Conditions for Non-U.S. Participants and the applicable Country-Specific Terms and Conditions shall apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Moreover, if the Participant relocates between any of the countries included in the Country-Specific Terms and Conditions, the special terms and conditions for such country shall apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Terms and Conditions for Non-U.S. Participants and the Country-Specific Terms and Conditions constitute part of this Agreement.

29. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the RSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

30. Right of Offset. Subject to any considerations under Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall have the right to offset against its obligation to deliver Shares under this Agreement any outstanding amounts (including, without limitation, travel and entertainment or advance account balances, loans,

Form for Employees (Other than Xxxx Xxxx)

repayment obligations under any Awards or amounts repayable to the Company pursuant to tax equalization, housing, automobile or other employee programs) that the Participant then owes to any member of the Company Group and any amounts the Committee otherwise deems appropriate pursuant to any tax equalization policy or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the RSUs are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall have no right to offset against its obligation to deliver Shares under this Agreement if such offset could subject the Participant to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code in respect of the RSUs.

31. Waiver. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other participant in the Plan.

32. Rules of Construction. Headings are given to the section of this Agreement solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The reference to any statute, regulation or other provision of law shall (unless the Administrator determines otherwise) be construed to refer to any amendment to or successor of such provision of law.

33. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one in the same agreement.

2017 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

SPECIAL TRANSACTION INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE- AND SERVICE-BASED

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan and the Special Transaction Incentive Performance- and Service-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

1. Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 4(d) of the Special Transaction Incentive Performance- and Service-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement:

(a) The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Service Recipient, the ultimate liability for all income tax, excise tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement 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 the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b) If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of satisfying the Withholding Taxes.

(c) Finally, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient, any amount of the Withholding Taxes that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Withholding Taxes.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or in Section 4(d) of the Special Transaction Incentive Performance- and Service-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, if the Company is required by applicable law to use a particular definition of fair market value for purposes of calculating the taxable income for the Participant, the Company shall have the discretion to calculate the Shares to be withheld to cover any Withholding Taxes by using either the price used to calculate the taxable income under applicable law or by using the closing price per Share on the New York Stock Exchange (or other principal exchange on which the Shares then trade) on the trading day immediately prior to the date of delivery of the Shares.

2. Nature of Grant. This provision supplements Section 19 of the Special Transaction Incentive Performance- and Service-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement:

In accepting the grant of the RSUs, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a) the RSU grant and the Participant’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 or any member of the Company Group;

(b) the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(c) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of any member of the Company Group;

(d) for purposes of the RSUs, the Termination Date shall be the date the Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any member of the Company Group (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 Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Participant’s right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, shall terminate as of such date and shall not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the RSUs grant (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);

(e) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the RSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Company’s Common Stock; and

(f) neither the Company nor any member of the Company Group shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

3. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect his or her ability to, directly or indirectly, acquire, sell, or attempt to sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions or Participant’s country).

The Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and is advised to consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

4. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting; Exchange Controls. The Participant’s country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and/or exchange controls that may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country.

5. Termination of Employment. This provision supplements Section 5(c) of the Special Transaction Incentive Performance- and Service-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement:

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(c), if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Participant’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to the RSUs when the Participant terminates employment as a result of the Participant’s Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the provisions of this Section 5(c) regarding the treatment of the RSUs when the Participant terminates employment as a result of the Participant’s Retirement shall not be applicable to the Participant and the remaining provisions of this Section 5 shall govern.

As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information in this Appendix C as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the RSUs vest or the Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to the Participant’s situation.

If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working (or if the Participant is considered as such for local law purposes) or if the Participant moves to another country after receiving the grant of the RSUs, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner.
