MARKET STOCK UNIT WITH PERFORMANCE KICKER AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS MARKET STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT, which includes the Online Grant Acceptance form (the “Grant Notice”) provided to the Participant named therein and any special terms and conditions for the Participant’s country set forth in the Addendum attached hereto (together, the “Award Agreement”), is made under the Amended and Restated Morningstar, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), as of the Grant Date specified in the Grant Notice. Any term capitalized but not defined in this Award Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the Plan. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Employer” means the entity (the Company or Affiliate) that employs the Participant.

BETWEEN:

(1) MORNINGSTAR, INC., an Illinois corporation (the “Company”); and

(2) The Participant identified in the Grant Notice.

1 GRANT OF MARKET STOCK UNITS

1.1 In accordance with the terms of the Plan and subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant a Market Stock Unit Award with respect to the target number of Market Stock Units (“MSUs”) set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Target MSUs”). The number of MSUs that are earned shall be equal to a percentage of the Target MSUs, which shall be determined in accordance with the performance conditions specified in Section 2 (the “Performance Conditions”). The MSUs shall constitute performance-based Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Plan.

1.2 Each MSU is a notional amount that represents one unvested share of common stock, no par value, of the Company (a “Share”). Each MSU constitutes the right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, to distribution of a Share if and to the extent the Performance Conditions are satisfied and the MSUs otherwise become vested.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is resident or employed outside of the United States, the Company, in its sole discretion, may settle the MSUs in the form of a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Participant, the Company and/or its Affiliates to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Participant’s country; (iii) would result in adverse tax consequences for the Participant, the Company or any Affiliate; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company, in its sole discretion, may settle the MSUs in the form of Shares but require the Participant to sell such Shares immediately or within a specified period following the Participant’s termination of Service (in which case, this Award Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on the Participant’s behalf).

1.3 This Award Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. The Participant hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of this Award Agreement and the Plan.

1.4 Further details of the MSUs granted to the Participant under the terms of this Award Agreement are set forth in the Grant Notice.

2 PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS

2.1 Subject to the terms of the Award Agreement and the Plan, the number of MSUs that are eligible to be earned shall be based on the Company’s Cumulative Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Period set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Company Cumulative TSR”) and the achievement of such other performance targets and metrics, quantitative and/or qualitative (in each case, a “Performance Target”), as may be established by the Committee from time to time during the Performance Period (the “Performance Kicker”) in accordance with Section 2.6 through Section 2.11. The number of MSUs that are eligible to vest at the end of the Performance Period shall be equal to the product of (A), multiplied by (B), and multiplied by (C), where:

(A) = Number of Target MSUs.

(B) = MSUs Earned as a Percentage of Target MSUs, as calculated in the table below and in accordance with this Award Agreement:


Company TSR Attainment Performance
	Company Cumulative TSR	MSUs Earned as a Percentage of Target MSUs (B)
Threshold TSR	[ ]%	[ ]%
Target TSR	[ ]%	[ ]%
Maximum TSR	[ ]%	[ ]%


Performance Kicker
Performance			Performance Kicker (C)
To Be Determined by the Committee			[ ]% -- [ ]%

2.2 If the Company Cumulative TSR exceeds the Threshold TSR and is less than the Target TSR, the percentage of the Target MSUs earned shall be [ ]%, reduced by [ ]% for each [ ]% decrease in Company Cumulative TSR below [ ]%. For example, if the Company Cumulative TSR is [ ]%, then [ ]% of Target MSUs would be earned. If the Company Cumulative TSR exceeds the Target TSR and is less than the Maximum TSR, the percentage of the Target MSUs earned shall be [ ]%, increased by [ ]% for each [ ]% increase in Company Cumulative TSR above [ ]%. For

example, if the Company Cumulative TSR is [ ]%, then [ ]% of the Target MSUs shall be earned. The number of MSUs that are earned shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.

2.3 No MSUs shall be earned pursuant to this Award Agreement if the Company Cumulative TSR is less than [ ]%, and the maximum number of MSUs earned pursuant to this Award Agreement shall be [ ]% of the Target MSUs.

2.4 For purposes of this Award Agreement, the Company Cumulative TSR for the Performance Period shall be measured by dividing (A) the sum of (i) the increase or decrease in the Stock Price, as defined below, from the beginning of the Performance Period to the end of the Performance Period, and (ii) the cumulative value of dividends paid during the Performance Period, assuming such dividends are reinvested in Shares, by (B) the Stock Price determined at the beginning of the Performance Period.

2.5 For purposes of computing Company Cumulative TSR, the “Stock Price” at the beginning of the Performance Period shall be the average closing price of a Share over the 30 consecutive calendar days immediately prior to the first day of the Performance Period, and the “Stock Price” at the end of the Performance Period shall be the average closing price of a Share over the 30 consecutive calendar days ending on and including the last day of the Performance Period, adjusted for changes in capitalization in accordance with Section 5.7 of the Plan.

2.6 The Committee shall have full authority to determine at any time during the Performance Period any Performance Target based on either (A) any objectively determinable measure of financial performance as selected by the Committee to measure performance of the Company or any subsidiary, division, or other unit of the Company for the Performance Period based on any performance criterion, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following: (i) revenue, (ii) net income, (iii) net income before taxes, (iv) operating income, (v) return on sales, (vi) return on equity, (vii) earnings per share, (viii) return on capital, (ix) return on invested capital, (x) return on assets, (xi) return on operating revenue, (xii) earnings before any one or more of: interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization or stock-based compensation expense, (xiii) stock price, (xiv) cash flow; (xv) operating margin or profit margin, (xvi) market share, or (xvii) any of combination of the foregoing, or (B) qualitative performance measures determined by the Committee including any related to the management of the Company through the COVID-19 pandemic and related effects on the global economy, financial markets and the Company’s performance. In the case of the qualitative performance measures, the Committee shall have the sole authority to determine the level of the actual achievement thereof. The Committee shall also have authority during the Performance Period to adjust any Performance Target in light of events or circumstances arising during the Performance Period. The achievement level of any Performance Target, as determined by the Committee, will be represented as a percentage that is between the bottom and top of the range of the potential achievement levels set forth in the Performance Kicker table under Section 2.2 and will determine the corresponding Performance Kicker attainment level.

2.7 If, during the course of the Performance Period, the Participant’s responsibilities change in a way that they are no longer aligned with a Performance Target applicable to a specific business unit or

product area of the Company corresponding to the Performance Kicker that was designated to apply to the Participant at the time the applicable Performance Kicker is established by the Committee (the “Performance Area”), the attainment level of the Performance Kicker will be determined based on the attainment level of the Performance Target applicable to the initially designated Performance Area over the full Performance Period, as determined by the Committee, and then will be prorated based on the number of whole months in the Performance Period that the Participant’s responsibilities were aligned with such Performance Area and divided by 36 (i.e., the total number of months in the entire Performance Period). Further, if the Participant’s new responsibilities are aligned with a different Performance Area, the attainment level of the Performance Kicker will be determined based on the attainment level of the Performance Target applicable to the subsequently designated Performance Area over the full Performance Period, as determined by the Committee, and then will be pro-rated based on the number of whole months in the Performance Period that the Participant is aligned to the subsequently designated Performance Area and divided by 36 (i.e., the total number of months in the entire Performance Period). If multiple Performance Areas are designated as part of the Performance Kickers that are applicable to the Participant, the sum of the prorated Performance Kickers will be used to determine the Participant’s total Performance Kicker.

2.8 To consider acquisitions and divestitures, the Committee will have the discretion to adjust any applicable Performance Targets affected thereby, as it deems appropriate.

2.9 The Committee will have the discretion to adjust any applicable Performance Target established by it during the Performance Period or the method of calculating the attainment level of the Performance Target for unusual, one-time, or unanticipated and extraordinary events that have an impact on the Company’s financial results, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects thereof on the Company, as it deems appropriate.

2.10 Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce, but not increase, the percentage of MSUs that are earned at any level of performance.

2.11 Subject to, and except as otherwise provided by, the Award Agreement, including Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 thereof, the MSUs that are earned pursuant to the attainment of the Performance Conditions set forth in Section 2 shall vest only if the Participant has remained in continuous Service until the last day of the Performance Period.

3 RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER

3.1 Unless and until an MSU has been earned and vested and the Share underlying it has been distributed to the Participant, the Participant will not be entitled to vote that Share or have any right to dividends, dividend equivalents or other distributions with respect to that Share; provided that the number and class of securities subject to this Award Agreement shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.7 of the Plan.

4 TERMINATION OF SERVICE AND OTHER CHANGES IN SERVICE STATUS

4.1 If the Participant’s Service (as defined in Section 4.7) terminates for any reason other than Disability (as defined in Section 4.6), death or a termination by the Company without Cause (as defined in Section 4.5) on or prior to the last day of the Performance Period, the Participant will forfeit the right to receive Shares underlying any MSUs.

4.2 If the Participant’s Service terminates on account of the Disability or death of the Participant, the Participant shall become vested as of the date of the termination in a prorated number of Target MSUs equal to the number of Target MSUs, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months the Participant was in Service between the first date of the Performance Period and the date of the termination of the Participant’s Service and the denominator of which shall be the total number of months contained in the Performance Period.

4.3 If the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause, the Participant at the end of the Performance Period shall continue to be eligible to vest in a number of MSUs that would have been earned had the Participant’s employment continued through the last day of the Performance Period equal to the number of MSUs that would have vested based on the actual attainment of the Performance Conditions for the entire Performance Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months the Participant was in Service between the first date of the Performance Period and the date of the termination of the Participant’s Service and the denominator of which shall be the total number of months contained in the Performance Period.

4.4 For purposes of this Award Agreement, "Affiliate” means an entity that is (directly or indirectly) controlled by, or controls, the Company.

4.5 For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Participant’s: (i) willful neglect of or continued failure to substantially perform his or her duties with or obligations for the Company or an Affiliate in any material respect (other than any such failure resulting from his or her incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (ii) commission of a willful or grossly negligent act or the willful or grossly negligent omission to act that causes or is reasonably likely to cause material harm to the Company or an Affiliate; or (iii) commission or conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, any felony or any crime significantly injurious to the Company or an Affiliate. An act or omission is "willful" for this purpose if it was knowingly done, or knowingly omitted, by the Participant in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interest of the Company or an Affiliate. Determination of Cause shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.

4.6 Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, for purposes of this Award Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the condition of being “disabled” as provided in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(C).

4.7 For purposes of this Award Agreement “Service” means the provision of services to the Company or its Affiliates in the capacity of an employee or a member of the Board but not as a consultant to the Company or an Affiliate. For purposes of this Award Agreement, the transfer of an employee

from the Company to an Affiliate, from an Affiliate to the Company or from an Affiliate to another Affiliate shall not be a termination of Service. However, if the Affiliate for which an employee is providing services ceases to be an Affiliate of the Company due to a sale, transfer or other reason, and the employee ceases to perform services for the Company or any Affiliate, the employee shall incur a termination of Service.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, the Participant’s Service will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Affiliate (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment or service agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Company, the Participant’s right to vest in MSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will 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 or service agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of his or her MSU award (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

5 TIMING AND FORM OF PAYMENT

5.1 Once an MSU is earned and vested and the Committee has certified in writing the achievement of the Performance Conditions or the MSU otherwise vests pursuant to Section 4.2, the Participant will be entitled to receive a Share in its place. Delivery of the Share will be made as soon as administratively feasible after its associated MSU vests, but no later than 2½ months from the end of the calendar year (a) that contains the last day of the Performance Period, or (b) in the case of a vesting event pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, that contains the date in which the Participant's Service terminated. Shares delivered under this Award Agreement shall be subject to the Company’s share retention policy, as in effect from time to time.

6 RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES AND TAX WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS

6.1 The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Employer, the ultimate liability for all income 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 Employer, if any. Further, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, no Shares will be issued to the Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to the MSUs. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection

with any aspect of the MSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the MSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the MSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. In addition, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant 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.

6.2 The Participant shall, upon occurrence of any tax withholding event, pay to the Company or the Employer or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of any Tax-Related Items required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Without limiting the Company’s power or rights pursuant to Section 5.5 of the Plan, amounts required by law or regulation to be withheld by the Company with respect to any taxable event arising under this Award Agreement will be satisfied by having Shares withheld in accordance with Section 5.5 of the Plan. In addition, the Participant may elect to deliver to the Company the necessary funds to satisfy the withholding obligation, in which case there will be no reduction in the Shares otherwise distributable to the Participant.

6.3 Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. 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 MSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

7 NOTICES

7.1 Any notice or other communication required or permitted under this Award Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered personally, sent by certified, registered or express mail, or sent by overnight courier, at the sender's expense.

i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

m) neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate 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 MSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the vesting of MSUs or the sale of Shares.

9 DATA PRIVACY

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 any MSU award grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company, and any other Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all MSU awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to the Company’s designated broker and/or stock plan service provider that is assisting the Company (presently or in the future) 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 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 Participant authorizes the Company, the Employer 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 the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative.

Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or later seeks to revoke the Participant’s consent, the Participant’s employment or Service status with the Employer will not be affected. The only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant MSUs 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 he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

10 ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

10.1 The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to MSUs awarded under the Plan or future MSUs that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or request the Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.

11 SEVERABILITY

11.1 The provisions of the Award Agreement (including the Country-Specific Terms and Conditions attached hereto as an Addendum), are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

12 NO ADVICE REGARDING GRANT

12.1 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 should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

13 IMPOSITION OF OTHER REQUIREMENTS

15 XXXXXXX XXXXXXX/MARKET ABUSE LAWS

15.1 By participating in the Plan, the Participant agrees to comply with any Company xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy. The Participant further acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s or his or her broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, the Participant may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., MSUs) or rights linked to the value of Shares, during such times the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined by the laws or regulations in the Participant’s country. Local xxxxxxx xxxxxxx laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant places before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. The Participant understands that third parties may include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with applicable restrictions and, therefore, the Participant should consult with his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

16 FOREIGN ASSET/ACCOUNT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND EXCHANGE CONTROLS

16.1 The Participant acknowledges that the Participant’s country may have certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or hold Shares acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on Shares or sales proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan) 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 the Participant’s country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan to the Participant’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.

17 ADDENDUM

17.1 Notwithstanding any provisions in the Award Agreement, MSUs shall also be subject to the Country-Specific Terms and Conditions for the Participant’s country, if any, set forth in the Addendum attached hereto. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the

Participant, to the extent that the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.

18 CONSTRUCTION

18.1 The MSUs granted hereunder are subject to any rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee pursuant to the Plan, now or hereafter in effect.

18.2 The Company and the Participant may amend this Award Agreement only by a written instrument signed by both parties, provided, that the Company may amend this Award Agreement without further action by the Participant if (i) such amendment is deemed by the Company to be advisable or necessary to comply with applicable law, rule, or, regulation, including Section 409A of the Code, or (ii) if such amendment is not to the detriment of the Participant.

18.3 The Participant shall agree to the terms of this Award Agreement by accepting the Grant Notice at the time and in the manner specified by the Company.

18.4 The Plan, the MSUs and this Award Agreement, and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant thereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois and construed in accordance therewith without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

19 SECTION 409A

19.1 To the extent the Participant is a citizen of the United States or a United States resident under the Code, the Company intends that the MSUs shall not constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, and the MSUs are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code under the “short-term deferral” exception to the maximum extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, and the Award Agreement shall be interpreted, administered and construed consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may unilaterally amend the terms of this Award Agreement (or the Plan) to avoid the application of, or to comply with, Section 409A of the Code, in a particular circumstance or as necessary or desirable to satisfy any of the requirements under Section 409A of the Code or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties that may apply under Section 409A of the Code if exemption or compliance is not practicable, but the Company or the Employer shall not be under any obligation to make any such amendment. Nothing in this Award Agreement (or the Plan) shall provide a basis for any person to take action against the Company or any Affiliate based on matters covered by Section 409A of the Code, including the tax treatment of any amount paid under the Award Agreement, and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall under any circumstances have any liability to the Participant or his or her estate or any other party for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable under this Award Agreement, including taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code.

ADDENDUM

COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or in the Award Agreement.

Terms and Conditions

This document includes additional terms and conditions that govern MSUs granted under the Plan if the Participant works and/or resides in one of the countries listed below. If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant currently is residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to the Participant.

Notifications

This document also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant’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 May 2021. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Participant should not rely on the information noted in this document 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 by the time the Participant vests in MSUs or 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 should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation.

If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant currently is residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency after the Grant Date or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not apply to the Participant.

EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”) / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”) COUNTRIES AND THE UNITED KINGDOM

Data Privacy: If the Participant resides and/or works in a country within the EU/EEA or the United Kingdom, Section 9 of the Award Agreement shall be replaced with the following:

The Participant is hereby notified of the collection, use and transfer outside of the European Economic Area, as described in this Award Agreement, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s Personal Data

(defined below) by and among, as applicable, the Company and certain of its Affiliates for the exclusive and legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

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

The Participant understands that providing the Company with his or her Personal Data is necessary for the performance of this Award Agreement and that the Participant’s refusal to provide the Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. The Participant’s Personal Data shall be accessible within the Company only by the persons specifically charged with Personal Data processing operations and by the persons who need to access the Personal Data because of their duties and position in relation to the performance of this Award Agreement.

The Company will use the Participant’s Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’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 Participant’s Personal Data, it will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps Personal Data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.

The Participant understands that the Company will transfer Personal Data to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Co., Inc. (the “Broker”), and/or such other third parties as may be selected by the Company, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Personal Data with such other provider(s) serving in a similar manner. The Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, with such agreement being a condition of the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

The Broker is based in the United States. The Participant’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. If the Participant is outside of the United States, the Participant should note that the Participant’s country has enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. By participating in the Plan, the Participant agrees to the transfer of the Participant’s Personal Data to the Broker for the exclusive purpose of administering the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company's legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Personal Data to the Broker is that such transfer is necessary for the performance of this Award Agreement.

The Participant has a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Participant’s country. Depending on where the Participant is based, the Participant’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) deletion of Personal Data, (iv) restrictions on processing, (v) portability of Personal Data, (vi) lodge complaints with

competent authorities in the Participant’s country, and/or (vii) a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Participant’s rights or to exercise the Participant's rights, the Participant should contact the local human resources representative or the Data Protection Officer at: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

Finally, the Participant may choose to opt out of allowing the Company to share the Participant’s Personal Data with Broker and others as described above, although execution of such choice may mean the Company cannot grant awards under the Plan to the Participant. For questions regarding opting-out of the Plan, the Participant should contact his or her local human resources representative or the Data Protection Officer at: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

AUSTRALIA

Terms and Conditions

Australian Offer Document.

Participation in the Plan is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Australian Offer Document and the Plan documentation provided to the Participant.

Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Award Agreement or the Plan, the Participant shall not be entitled to, and shall not claim any benefit (including without limitation a legal right) under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxx 0000 (Cth), any other provision of the Corporations Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits.

Exchange Control Information. Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding AUD 10,000 and international fund transfers.

CANADA

Terms and Conditions

Form of Settlement. Notwithstanding any terms and conditions in the Plan, Award Agreement or any other grant materials, the MSUs will be settled in Shares only, not cash.

Termination of Service. This provision replaces the second paragraph of Section 4.7 of the Award Agreement:

For purposes of the MSUs, the Participant’s Service is considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer actually employed or otherwise rendering Service to the Company or any Affiliate (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment or other laws or the terms of the Participant’s employment or service contract, if any). Unless otherwise extended by the Company or expressly provided in the Award Agreement, the Participant’s right to vest in the MSUs, if any, will terminate effective as of such date (the “Termination Date”). The Termination Date will not be extended by any common law notice period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if applicable employment standards legislation explicitly requires continued entitlement to vesting during a statutory notice period, the Participant’s right to vest in the MSUs under the Award Agreement, if any, will be allowed to continue for that minimum notice period but then immediately terminate effective as of the last day of the Participant’s minimum statutory notice period (except as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Award Agreement).

In the event the date the Participant is no longer providing actual service cannot be reasonably determined under the terms of this Award Agreement and/or the Plan, the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the MSUs (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). Any portion of the MSUs that is not vested on the Termination Date shall terminate immediately and be null and void, except as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Award Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, unless the applicable employment standards legislation specifically requires, in the Participant’s case, the Participant will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for that portion of time before the date on which the Participant’s service relationship is terminated (as determined under this provision), nor will the Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.

The following provisions apply to residents of Quebec:

Language Consent. The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Award Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.

Data Privacy. The following provision supplements Section 9 of the Award Agreement:

The Participant authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or non-professional, involved with the administration of the Plan. The Participant further authorizes the Company, any Affiliate of the Company, the Employer, any broker, or any stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company from time to time to assist with the Plan, to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. The Participant also authorizes the Company and the Employer to record such information and to keep such information in the Participant’s employee file.

Notifications

Securities Law Information. The Participant is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker, if any, provided the resale of such Shares takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (i.e., Nasdaq Stock Market).

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Participant is required to report his or her foreign property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds CAD 100,000 at any time during the year. Foreign property includes Shares acquired under the Plan, and their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would normally equal the Fair Market Value of the Shares at vesting, but if the Participant owns other Shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. If due, the Form must be filed by April 30 of the following year. The Participant should speak with a personal tax advisor to determine the scope of foreign property that must be considered for purposes of this requirement.

CHINA

The following provisions apply only if the Participant is subject to exchange control restrictions or regulations in China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Terms and Conditions

Settlement of MSUs and Sale of Shares. To facilitate compliance with exchange control regulations in China, the MSUs may be settled in the form of a cash payment. Alternatively, the MSUs may be settled in Shares, in which case, the Participant agrees that the Company is authorized to sell the Shares immediately upon settlement or after termination of Participant’s Service, as described below, and the Participant expressly authorizes the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such Shares (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent). The Participant agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the designated broker) to effectuate the sale of the Shares and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters, provided that Participant shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. The Participant acknowledges that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the Shares at any particular price.

Upon the sale of the Shares, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale of Shares (less any applicable Tax-Related Items, brokerage fees or commissions) to the Participant in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the restrictions set forth below under “Exchange Control Requirements.”

Treatment of MSUs Upon Termination of Service. Due to exchange control regulations in China, the Participant understands and agrees that the Company may require the sale of Shares held by the Participant within six (6) months following the Participant’s termination of Service, or within such other period as determined by the Company or required by the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) (the “Mandatory Sale Date”). This includes any portion of Shares that vest upon the Participant’s termination of Service. The Participant understands that should the Company impose this requirement, any Shares held by the Participant under the Plan that have not been sold by the Mandatory

Sale Date will automatically be sold by the Company’s designated broker at the Company’s direction (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent).

Exchange Control Requirements. The Participant understands and agrees that, to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements, the Participant is required to immediately repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of the Shares and any dividends paid on such Shares. The Participant further understands that such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Affiliates, and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that the proceeds may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Participant. The Company may deliver the proceeds to the Participant in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, the Participant understands that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, there may be delays in delivering the proceeds to the Participant and due to fluctuations in the Share trading price and/or the U.S. dollar/PRC exchange rate between the sale/payment date and (if later) when the proceeds can be converted into local currency, the proceeds that the Participant receives may be more or less than the market value of the Shares on the sale/payment date (which is the amount relevant to determining the Participant’s tax liability). The Participant agrees to bear the risk of any currency fluctuation between the sale/payment date and the date of conversion of the proceeds into local currency.

The Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

UNITED KINGDOM

Responsibility for Taxes and Tax Withholding Obligations. This provision supplements Section 6 of the Award Agreement:

Without limitation to Section 6 of the Award Agreement, the Participant agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
