ELT Award
Xxxxx Xxxxxx Company Performance Share Unit Award Agreement For [●]
1.Capitalized Terms. Each capitalized term used but not defined in this Award Agreement (including Appendix A) shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Company 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
2.Grant. The Committee of Xxxxx Xxxxxx Company (the “Company”) has granted Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) to the individual named in this Award Agreement (the “Participant”) on [●] (the “Grant Date”). Each PSU entitles the Participant an opportunity to earn and receive from the Company one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Share”), for which the restrictions set forth in paragraph 4 lapse in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement, the Plan, any country specific addendums and any rules and procedures adopted by the Committee. The target number of PSUs reflected in the Participant’s Plan account maintained by Fidelity Stock Plan Services (the “Target PSUs”) is the number of PSUs that the Participant may earn if the Performance Condition is satisfied at the target level. The actual number of PSUs that the Participant may earn may be less than or more than the Target PSUs, depending upon actual performance and the service of the Participant, as specified in paragraph 4. Shares may be adjusted or converted into other property or cash pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
3.Dividend Equivalents. Until such time as the restrictions lapse or the PSUs are cancelled, whichever occurs first, the Company shall establish an amount to be paid to the Participant equal to the number of PSUs that are ultimately earned pursuant to this Agreement times the per Share quarterly dividend payments made to stockholders of the Company’s Shares during the period from the Grant Date until the date that the restrictions lapse (“Dividend Equivalent”). The Company will pay the Participant an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents unpaid as of the date that the restrictions lapse (without interest) upon such lapse date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any unpaid Dividend Equivalents attributable to PSUs that are cancelled will not be paid and are immediately forfeited upon cancellation of the PSUs. Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash or in Shares, or in a combination of cash and Shares, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.
4.Restrictions.
a.Lapse of Restrictions Generally. Except as specified in paragraph 6(a), restrictions on the PSUs will lapse to the extent that both the Service Condition and the Performance Condition are satisfied and once the Committee has certified the Performance Condition has been satisfied (the “Normal Restriction Lapse Date”). Subject to paragraphs 5 and 6, the “Service Condition” will be satisfied with respect to the PSUs only if the Participant has been continuously employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries through the Normal Restriction Lapse Date, and the “Performance Condition” will be satisfied with respect to between 0% and 150% of the Target PSUs based on the attainment of Cumulative ROIC and Relative Cumulative Free Cash Flow Divided by Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA performance conditions, adjusted by the Relative TSR modifier, in accordance with Appendix A. Prior to the issuance of any Shares pursuant to paragraph 7, except as specified in this Award Agreement (for example, in the event of an Involuntary Termination due to a Change in Control as described in paragraphs 5b and 6a), the Committee shall certify the extent, if any, to which the Performance Condition was achieved. In no event will payment under this Award be made later than the date that is 2 ½ months after the calendar year in which both the Service Condition and the Performance Condition have been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) under the terms of this Award Agreement.
b.Maximum Shares Limitation. The maximum number of Shares the Participant may earn under this Award is Shares equal to 225% of the Target PSUs.

c.Maximum Value Limitation. In addition to any other limitation specified in this Award Agreement, notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the Final Value of the Shares otherwise issuable on lapse of the restrictions on the PSUs, as determined in accordance with this Award Agreement, exceeds the applicable Maximum Value, the number of Shares issued to the Participant will be reduced so that the Final Value of the number of Shares issued is equal to such Maximum Value. “Final Value” means the closing price of a Share on the End Date, multiplied by the number of Shares otherwise issuable on lapse of the restrictions applicable to the PSUs (assuming for such purpose that the immediately preceding sentence did not apply). “Maximum Value” means the closing price of a Share on the Grant Date multiplied by the Target PSUs, multiplied by 5.
5.Termination of Employment. If the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the Normal Restriction Lapse Date, the PSUs shall be immediately cancelled, except as follows:
a.Employment Termination Due to Death. If the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the Normal Restriction Lapse Date as a result of the Participant’s death, the Service Condition shall be deemed fully satisfied as of the date of such termination, and, subject to paragraph 6a, the PSUs shall remain subject to the Performance Condition.
b.Involuntary Termination Following Certain Transactions. If prior to the Normal Restriction Lapse Date (1) the Participant incurs an Involuntary Termination during the 24-month period following a Change in Control or (ii) during the 24-month period following a Covered Transaction the Participant incurs an Involuntary Full Severance of Employment in Connection With a Covered Transaction (in each case, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), the Service Condition shall be deemed to be fully satisfied for all PSUs awarded hereby on the date of the Participant’s Involuntary Termination.
For the avoidance of doubt, the 24-month period following a Change in Control or a Covered Transaction includes the date of the consummation of the Change in Control or the Covered Transaction.
c.Occurrence of Total Disability. If on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date and prior to the Normal Restriction Lapse Date, the Participant incurs a Total Disability, the Service Condition shall be deemed fully satisfied as of the date of such termination, and, subject to paragraph 6a, the PSUs shall remain subject to the Performance Condition.
d. Other Involuntary Termination. If on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date and prior to the Normal Restriction Lapse Date, the Participant incurs an Involuntary Termination, and paragraph 5b does not apply, then as of the date of such Involuntary Termination, the Service Condition shall be deemed satisfied with respect to the applicable Pro-Rata Portion, and such Pro-Rata Portion of the PSUs shall remain subject to the Performance Condition (except as specified in paragraph 6a).
e.Termination of Employment Due to Other Reasons. If the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment for any reason other than as specified in paragraphs 5a, 5b, 5c, or 5d then the PSUs shall be immediately cancelled.

Section 2.Weighting of Performance Conditions.
The payout for the number of Performance Units awarded to a Participant under a Performance Unit Award will be determined under Section 3 and will be based in part upon the achievement of the following weighted Performance Goals: (1) Cumulative ROIC and (2) Relative Cumulative Free Cash Flow Divided by Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA. The (1) Cumulative ROIC and (2) Relative Cumulative Free Cash Flow Divided by Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA Performance Goals are equally weighted. That is, the Relative Cumulative Free Cash Flow Divided by Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA Performance Goal has a weighting of 50 percent and the Cumulative ROIC Performance Goal has a weighting of 50 percent.
Section 3.Performance Condition Attainment.
(a)Cumulative ROIC. The Cumulative ROIC will determine the preliminary Performance Condition attainment (prior to adjustment under paragraph (c) below by the Relative TSR modifier), with respect to 50 percent of the Target PSUs. The following table sets forth the percentage of the Target PSUs, prior to adjustments pursuant to paragraph (c) below (the “Preliminarily Adjusted Units”) for which the Performance Condition will be deemed satisfied based on the attainment of Cumulative ROIC indicated in the corresponding row of the table:

| <10.0% | 0% | ||||
If Cumulative ROIC exceeds 10% and is less than 12.5%, or if Cumulative ROIC exceeds 12.5% and is less than 15.0%, the percentage of the PSUs for which the Performance Condition will be deemed satisfied will be subject to straight-line interpolation between the applicable corresponding percentages set forth in the table.

measured independently and then compared against the Peers. The average of those results will determine the preliminary Performance Condition attainment (prior to adjustment under paragraph (c) below by the Relative TSR modifier), with respect to 50 percent of the Target PSUs. The following table sets forth the percentage of such Target PSUs, prior to adjustments pursuant to paragraph (c) below the Preliminarily Adjusted Units, for which the Performance Condition will be deemed satisfied based on the attainment of Relative Cumulative Free Cash Flow Divided by Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA indicated in the corresponding row of the table:
| Relative Cumulative Free Cash Flow Divided by Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA (Percentile v. Peers) | Performance Condition Attainment for Relative Cumulative Free Cash Flow Divided by Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA | ||||
≥ 75 | 150% | ||||
| 50 | 100% | ||||
| 25 | 50% | ||||
| <25 | 0% | ||||
If Relative Cumulative Free Cash Flow Divided by Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA exceeds the 25th percentile and is less than the 50th percentile, or if Relative Cumulative Free Cash Flow Divided by Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA exceeds the 50th percentile and is less than the 75th percentile, the percentage of the PSUs for which the Performance Condition will be deemed satisfied will be subject to straight-line interpolation between the applicable corresponding percentages set forth in the table.
(c)Relative TSR Modifier. The final number of Shares to be paid under this Award Agreement will be calculated by adjusting the Participant’s total Preliminarily Adjusted Units upwards or downwards based on the Company’s Relative TSR performance compared to the Peers. The adjustment will be based on the table below.
| Relative TSR Percentile Rank | TSR Modifier | ||||
| 25th Percentile or Less | -50% | ||||
| 50th Percentile | 0% | ||||
| 75th Percentile or Greater | 50% | ||||
If Relative TSR percentile rank exceeds the 25th percentile and is less than the 50th percentile, or if Relative TSR percentile rank exceeds the 50th percentile and is less than the 75th percentile, the TSR Modifier will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the applicable corresponding percentages set forth in the table.
The total Award earned is calculated by first multiplying the number of the Preliminarily Adjusted Units by the TSR Modifier. The sum of (1) the Preliminarily Adjusted Units and (2) the product of the Preliminarily Adjusted Units and the TSR Modifier, not in excess of 225% of the Target Shares, is the Final Adjusted Units. Subject to the maximum value limitation set forth in paragraphs 4c of the Award Agreement, each Final Adjusted Unit represents a right to receive one Share. In no event will the Final Adjusted Units be less than zero. In no event will the number of Shares issued to the Participant under the Award exceed the maximum value limitation set forth in paragraph 4c of the Award Agreement.
