PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) as of the [DAY] day of [MONTH, YEAR] (the “Award Date”) between Resideo Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and [EMPLOYEE NAME] (the “Participant”).
1.
Grant of Performance Award. The Company has granted you a target number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions (the “Performance Stock Units” and the “Performance Award”), subject to the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliates (the “Plan”). The target number of Performance Stock Units granted to you and covered by this Agreement is [•] (the “Target Award”).
The Company will hold the Performance Stock Units in a bookkeeping account on your behalf until they become payable or are forfeited or cancelled.
[The details for this grant can be found on [•]. The Company reserves the right to change or correct any information contained on the [•] website to reflect the terms of the Award actually made by the Company on the Award Date or the Plan.].
2.
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions apply:
a.
“Actual Award” means (A) the product of (i) the Plan Payout Percentage (as determined under Section 3), and (ii) your Target Award. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee (as defined in the Plan) may reduce the amount of your Actual Award in its sole discretion.
b.
“Performance Cycle” means the [INSERT PERFORMANCE CYCLE DATES].
3.
Performance Measures. The Plan Payout Percentage shall be determined based on [DESCRIBE PERFORMANCE MEASURES]
4.
Rights as a Shareholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares of Common Stock covered by or relating to the Performance Stock Units unless and until such Shares are actually delivered to the Participant. For purposes of clarification, the Participant shall not have any voting, dividend or other rights with respect to the Shares of Common Stock underlying the Performance Stock Units unless and until such Shares are actually delivered to the Participant.
5.
Dividend Equivalents. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, the Participant will earn Dividend Equivalents in an amount equal to the value of any ordinary [cash or stock] dividends paid by the Company upon one Share of Common Stock for each Performance Stock Unit which has not yet been paid, which may be credited in cash or Common Stock as determined by the Committee in such manner as the Committee may determine from time to time and will be subject to the same vesting provisions and timing of payment provisions as apply to the Performance Stock Units to which such Dividend Equivalents relate.
6.
Payment Amount. Each Performance Stock Unit represents one (1) Share of Common Stock. Your Actual Award will not exceed 200% of your Target Award.
7.
Vesting and Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the vesting and payment of an Actual Award is contingent upon (i) the achievement of a Plan Payout Percentage based on performance as described in Section 3, and (ii) you remaining actively employed by the Company on [DESCRIBE VESTING PROVISIONS] (the “Vesting Date”).
[DESCRIBE PAYMENT PROVISIONS, INCLUDING ANY AMOUNTS TO BE PAID IN CASH AND SHARES, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
(a)
Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(b), payment of the vested Performance Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalents, if any) will be made as soon as practicable, but no later than two and one-half (2 ½) months following the Vesting Date (or such later date that qualifies as a short-term deferral under Section 409A of the Code), and the Participant may not designate the taxable year in which such payment occurs.
[(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant was eligible to and timely filed an election to defer payment of the vested Performance Stock Unites (and related Dividend Equivalents, if any), in accordance with the rules established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, payment of any vested deferred Performance Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalents, if any), including any Performance Stock Units that vest as a result of Section 9, 10 or 11, will be made on the earliest of (i) the first day of the seventh (7th) calendar month following the Participant’s separation from service (as determined pursuant to Section 409A of the Code) or if later,
the date the vested Performance Stock Units would have settled under Section 9 or 10, if applicable, or (ii) within 15 days after the date of the Change in Control, with the amount of payment calculated in accordance with Section 11(b).]
8.
Termination of Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if your Termination of Service occurs for any reason other than death, Retirement or Disability before the Vesting Date, any unvested Performance Stock Units will immediately be forfeited and your rights with respect to future payments under this Agreement will end. If your Termination of Service occurs due to Cause, all unpaid Performance Stock Units (either vested or unvested[, or deferred]) and associated Dividend Equivalents, if any, will immediately be forfeited.
9.
Death, Disability or Retirement. If your Termination of Service occurs before the Vesting Date because of your death, Retirement or Disability, you or your estate will receive the prorated value of the Actual Award you would otherwise have earned had your Service continued until the Vesting Date. The prorated value of the Actual Award shall be determined by multiplying the Actual Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days you were actively employed before your death, Retirement or termination due to Disability from the first day of the Performance Cycle, and the denominator of which is the total number of days from the first day of the Performance Cycle to the last day of the Performance Cycle. Such prorated Actual Award stated in Shares, shall be multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the last trading day of the Performance Cycle and, in each case shall be paid in Shares following the Performance Cycle at the same time payments, if any, are made to other Performance Stock Unit grantees (but payment will be made no later than two and one-half (2 ½) months following the end of the Performance Cycle or such later date that qualifies as a short term deferral under Section 409A of the Code). If your Retirement triggers the applicability of this Section 9, then as a condition thereof you hereby agree that for the remainder of any applicable continued vesting period or Performance Cycle, you will (i) remain available to provide service to the Company on an as-requested basis (which service, for purposes of compliance with Section 409A of the Code, shall not exceed 20% of your pre-Termination of Service level of Service to the Company) and (ii) execute, in the discretion of the Company, a non-competition agreement in favor of the Company in the form provided by the Company.
10.
[Involuntary Termination of Service Not for Cause. Except as provided in Section 11, if your Termination of Service occurs before the vesting date because of your involuntary Termination of Service not for Cause, you will receive the prorated value of your Actual Award. The prorated value of the Actual Award shall be determined by multiplying the Actual Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days you were actively employed before your Termination of Service from the first day of the Performance Cycle, and the denominator of which is the total number of days from the first day of the Performance Cycle to the last day of the Performance Cycle. Such prorated Actual Award shall be paid in Shares following the Performance Cycle at the same time payments, if any, are made to other Performance Stock Unit grantees.]
11.
Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a
Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), the following provisions apply:
a.
Rollover of Performance Awards. If adjusted or exchanged pursuant to the Plan, Performance Stock Units that have not vested or terminated as of the date of the Change in Control will continue to vest in accordance with the schedule described in Section 7 of this Agreement (or as adjusted if more favorable) and, if applicable, be subject to proration as provided in Section 9 [or Section 10]; provided, however, that (x) if, on or after the Change in Control, you incur an involuntary Termination of Service not for Cause (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) or a voluntary Termination of Service for Good Reason (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) on or before the second anniversary of the date of the Change in Control and after the Performance Cycle has ended, your unpaid Actual Award will immediately vest in full and be settled no later than the earlier of 90 days after the Termination of Service or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Termination of Service occurs, or (y) if, on or after the Change in Control, you incur an involuntary Termination of Service not for Cause (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) or a voluntary Termination of Service for Good Reason (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) during the two-year period following the Change in Control and before the Performance Cycle has ended, your Target Award will be settled no later than the earlier of 90 days after the Termination of Service or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Termination of Service occurs.
b.
Cashout of Performance Awards. Unless adjusted or exchanged pursuant to the Plan, Performance Stock Units that have not vested or terminated as of the date of the Change in Control will immediately vest as provided in this subsection (b). If the Change in Control occurs after the Performance Cycle has ended but before the Vesting Date specified in Section 7, you will receive your unpaid Actual Award, if any, provided that if Section 9 [or Section 10] is applicable to your Award, your Actual Award will be subject to the proration described therein. If the Change in Control occurs before the Performance Cycle has ended, you will receive your unpaid Actual Award as calculated based on the Target Award or other level of substantially achieved performance, as determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control, provided that if Section 9 [or Section 10] is applicable to your Award, your Actual Award will be subject to the proration described there. No later than the earlier of 90 days after the date of the Change in Control or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs, you will receive for the applicable Performance Stock Units a single cash payment equal to the product of the number of vested and outstanding Performance Stock Units as of the date of the Change in Control (including any Performance Stock Units that vest pursuant to this Section [10][11]) and an amount equal to the greater of (i) the highest price per Share paid by the successor, as determined by the Committee, and (ii) the highest Fair Market Value during the period of 90 days that ends on the date of the Change in Control. Any securities or other property that is part or all of the consideration paid for Shares pursuant to the Change in Control will be valued at the higher of (x) the valuation placed on the securities or property by any entity that is a party with the Company to the Change in Control, or (y) the valuation placed
on the securities or property by the Committee.
c.
[Deferred Performance Stock Units. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11 or this Award to the contrary, for any Award which you have elected to defer pursuant to Section 7(b), the Performance Stock Units that have not vested or terminated as of the date of the Change in Control shall vest pursuant to Section 11(b) and shall not be adjusted or exchanged.]
12.
Withholdings and Taxes. The Company or your local employer shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to the Company or to your local employer, prior to any issuance or delivery of Shares (or if earlier, such time as taxes may be due on an Award), an amount sufficient to satisfy taxes imposed under the laws of any country, state, province, city or other jurisdiction, including but not limited to income taxes, capital gain taxes, transfer taxes, and social security contributions, and National Insurance Contributions, that are required by law to be withheld as determined by the Company or your local employer. You are responsible for the payment of all taxes due as a result of this Award or any payments thereunder.
13.
Transfer of Performance Award. You may not transfer the Performance Stock Units or any interest in such Units or any portion of your Actual Award except by will or the laws of descent and distribution [or except as permitted by the Committee and as specified in the Plan]. Any other attempt to dispose of your interest will be null and void.

Discretionary Nature and Acceptance of Performance Award. By accepting this Performance Award, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and acknowledge that:
a.
The Company (and not your local employer) is granting these Performance Stock Units. This Agreement is not derived from any preexisting labor relationship between you and the Company, but rather from a mercantile relationship.

You waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment with your local employer for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights result, or may result, from the loss or diminution in value of such rights under the Plan or your ceasing to have any rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any rights under, the Plan as a result of such termination.
e.
The grant of this Award, and any future grant of Performance Stock Units under the Plan, is entirely voluntary, and at the complete discretion of the Company.

f.
The Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be construed by you to constitute, part of the terms and conditions of employment. Neither the Company nor your local employer will incur any liability of any kind to you as a result of any change or amendment, or any cancellation, of the Plan at any time.
g.
Participation in the Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be deemed by you to constitute, an employment or labor relationship of any kind with the Company.
21.
Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan gives you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate your employment at any time. Payment of your Performance Stock Units is not secured by a trust, insurance contract or other funding medium, and you do not have any interest in any fund or specific asset of the Company by reason of this Performance Award or the account established on your behalf. You have no rights as a shareowner of the Company pursuant to the Performance Stock Units until Shares are actually delivered to you.
22.
Incorporation of Other Agreements. This Agreement[, your deferral election form,
if applicable,] and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the Performance Stock Units. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Performance Stock Units. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan.
23.
Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. Moreover, if any provision is found to be excessively broad in duration, scope or covered activity, the provision will be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law.
24.
Governing Law.

25.
Agreement Changes. The Company reserves the right to change the terms of this Agreement and the Plan without your consent to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury regulations and other guidance thereunder.
