Exhibit 10.7

News Corporation 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
For the FY [    ] – FY [    ] Performance Cycle
Award of Performance Stock Units		News Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“News Corp”), hereby awards you the target number of performance stock units (“PSUs”) relating to shares of its Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “NWSA Shares”) set forth in your Award Summary, included herewith and forming part of this agreement. The terms and conditions of this PSU award are set forth in this PSU Award Agreement (the “PSU Award Agreement”) and in the News Corporation 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 LTIP”). The terms of the 2013 LTIP are incorporated herein by reference. All capitalized terms that are not defined in this PSU Award Agreement have the meaning set forth in the 2013 LTIP. By accepting this award of PSUs, you agree to all of the terms and conditions described in this PSU Award Agreement and in the 2013 LTIP. You acknowledge that you have carefully reviewed the 2013 LTIP and agree that the terms of the 2013 LTIP will control in the case of any conflict between this PSU Award Agreement and the 2013 LTIP. Unless otherwise provided in this PSU Award Agreement, the actual NWSA Shares awarded to you shall be from 0% and 200% of the target PSUs awarded, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the News Corp Board of Directors or its designees (the “Committee”), based on the achievement of the Performance Objectives (herein defined). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, PSUs represent the potential to receive, at the end of the applicable performance period, a number of NWSA Shares (the “PSU Program”). The NWSA Shares that you receive, if any, will be fully vested and may be immediately available for sale, subject to News Corp’s Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Confidentiality Policy.
Conversion of Performance Stock Units		Unless otherwise provided in this PSU Award Agreement, your PSUs will convert to NWSA Shares on the vesting date after the end of the three-year performance period ending [                ] (the “Performance Period”) with the number of NWSA Shares to be received, if any, determined by comparing News Corp’s actual results with objectives set for the News Corp Named Executive Officer PSU Program (based on News Corp’s audited consolidated financial statements for the Performance Period) (the “Performance Objectives”). The percentage to which each of the Performance Objectives has been achieved corresponds to a payout multiplier. The payout multipliers for each of the Performance Objectives are then averaged (using pre-set weightings for each) to create one overall payout multiplier, which is subject to an overall cap of 200%. The overall payout multiplier is then multiplied by the target number of PSUs to determine the number of NWSA Shares that you will be entitled to receive. The overall payout multiplier for the Performance Objectives will be based on that used to determine awards for the News Corp Named Executive Officer PSU Program for the Performance Period. The Committee has set the Performance Objectives and the Committee, and the management of News Corp, as appropriate, will determine the achievement of the Performance Objectives based on the actual results at the end of the Performance Period, and calculate the overall payout multiplier and the conversion of the PSUs into NWSA Shares. In all events, the Committee’s determination(s) will be binding. As soon as is reasonably practicable following the vesting date set forth on the Award Summary, the NWSA Shares payable with respect to the vested PSUs will be issued and evidenced in such manner as the Committee in its discretion shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry, registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. Upon issuance, your PSUs shall be extinguished and such PSUs will no longer be considered to be held by you for any purpose.

Withholding Taxes		You agree, as a condition of this award of PSUs, that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of granting or vesting of your PSUs or your acquisition of NWSA Shares relating to this PSU award. In the event that News Corp or any Affiliate, as the case may be, determines that any applicable Federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to this award of PSUs or acquisition of NWSA Shares related thereto, News Corp, or any Affiliate, as the case may be, will have the right to: (i) require that you arrange to make such payments to News Corp or any Affiliate; (ii) withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from News Corp or any Affiliate; or (iii) allow for the surrender of the number of NWSA Shares relating to the PSUs awarded pursuant to this PSU Award Agreement in an amount equal to the withholding or other taxes due (for this purpose, surrendered NWSA Shares will be valued using the closing price of the NWSA Shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or other principal stock exchange on which the NWSA Shares are listed on the trading date immediately prior to the vesting date); provided that the NWSA Shares so withheld will have an aggregate Fair Market Value not exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by applicable law.
Employment with News Corp		Except as provided herein, your eligibility to receive NWSA Shares is subject to the condition that you remain employed by News Corp from the date hereof through the date on which the PSUs are paid out in NWSA Shares, subject to the terms of your PSU Award Agreement and with the exceptions set forth below. Subject to the exceptions set forth below, in the event your employment is terminated for any reason during the Performance Period or after the Performance Period and before the payout of your PSUs, you shall forfeit your PSU award and neither you, nor your beneficiary or estate, shall be entitled to receive any payment under your PSU Award Agreement. In the event your employment is terminated due to your Retirement or Permanent Disability, and if you were employed beyond the last day of the first fiscal year of the applicable Performance Period, you will receive NWSA Shares on the PSU vesting date after the end of the relevant Performance Period based on the overall payout multiplier for the Performance Objectives. In the event of your death, and if you were employed beyond the last day of the first fiscal year of the applicable Performance Period, your estate will receive NWSA Shares as soon as practicable, based on the projected performance for the Performance Objectives (at the determination of News Corp) for all PSU Program cycles with less than one year remaining in the Performance Period, and based on target level performance otherwise. In the event that your employment during the Performance Period transfers from one business group, including corporate groups, which participates in the News Corp PSU Program to another business group that also participates in the News Corp PSU Program, you will remain eligible to receive payment under your PSU Award Agreement. If your business entity is merged with another entity within News Corp or is sold outside of News Corp, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, make such adjustments to your PSU award as it deems appropriate. All determinations that the Committee makes shall be conclusive and binding on all persons for all purposes. The Committee need not treat all PSU awards in the same manner.
Leaves of Absence		For purposes of this PSU Award Agreement, your Service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide employee leave of absence that was approved by News Corp or an Affiliate in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by applicable law. However, your Service will be treated as terminating three months after you went on employee leave, unless your right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee work.

FY [    ] – FY [    ] PSU Award Agreement 2        

		The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, which leaves shall count for this purpose, and when your Service terminates for all purposes under the 2013 LTIP.
Adjustments to News Corp Actual Results		At the end of or during the Performance Period, as applicable, actual results for News Corp may be adjusted at the sole discretion of the Committee as it deems appropriate to: •    Exclude the effect of extraordinary, unusual and/or non-recurring items, discontinued operations, significant acquisitions, and accounting charges or policy changes; and •    Reflect such other facts as the Committee deems appropriate so as to reflect the performance of the business group and not distort the calculation of the PSU award. All such determinations of the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons for all purposes.
No Vested Right in Future Awards		Participant acknowledges and agrees (by receiving this PSU Award Agreement) that the eligibility to receive PSUs under this PSU Award Agreement is made on a fully discretionary basis by the Committee and that this PSU Award Agreement does not lead to a vested right to receive any NWSA Shares, any additional PSUs or other equity incentive awards in the future. Further, the PSU award set forth in this PSU Award Agreement constitutes a non-recurring benefit and the terms of this PSU Award Agreement are only applicable to the PSU award distributed pursuant to this PSU Award Agreement.
Employment Agreements		This PSU Award Agreement shall not be applied or interpreted in a manner which would decrease the rights held by, or the payments owing to, you under any employment agreement with News Corp and, if there is any conflict between the terms of such employment agreement and the terms hereof, the employment agreement shall control.
Confidentiality		You acknowledge that you have read and understand News Corp’s policies on confidentiality as set forth in the News Corp Standards of Business Conduct and the News Corp Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Confidentiality Policy (collectively, the “Confidentiality Policies”) and hereby agree that during the course of your employment with News Corp and any time after your employment with News Corp is terminated, you will continue to abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Policies, including with respect to any materials or information you receive in connection with your PSU award.
Retention and Other Rights		This PSU Award Agreement does not give you the right to be retained or employed by News Corp or any Affiliate in any capacity for any given period or upon any specific terms of employment. You waive any and all rights to compensation or damages for the termination of your office or employment with News Corp or any Affiliate for any reason (including unlawful termination of employment) insofar as those rights arise from you ceasing to have rights in relation to this PSU award as a result of that termination or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights.
Stockholder Rights		You, your estate or heirs, do not have any of the rights of a stockholder of News Corp, including, without limitation, the right to vote or receive dividends declared or paid on the NWSA Shares, unless and until any PSUs are paid out into NWSA Shares and a certificate for such NWSA Shares has been issued or an appropriate book entry has been made.
PSU Award Transferability		Your PSUs may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may your PSUs be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
