YAHOO! INC. STOCK PLAN 

PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 

FOR U.S. EXECUTIVES 

(Transaction Form) 
 Section 1.
Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award 
  

	(a)	Grant of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). Yahoo! Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the grantee (the “Grantee”) named in the Notice of Restricted Stock
Unit Grant (the “Notice of Grant”) the number of RSUs (such number, the “Target Number” of RSUs; and one-fourth of the Target Number being the “Annual Target Number” of RSUs for
each “Performance Year” identified in Section 2(c)(i) hereof) set forth in the Notice of Grant, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Performance Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for U.S. Executives (this
“Agreement”) and as otherwise provided in the Yahoo! Inc. Stock Plan, as amended (the “Award”). 

  

	(b)	Incorporation of Plan; Capitalized Terms. The provisions of the Yahoo! Inc. Stock Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth
herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. The Administrator shall have final authority
to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations thereunder, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon the Grantee and his/her legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the
Plan or this Agreement. 

 Section 2. Terms and Conditions of Award 

 

	 	The grant of RSUs provided in Section 1(a) shall be subject to the following terms, conditions and restrictions: 

  

	(a)	Limitations on Rights Associated with RSUs. The RSUs are bookkeeping entries only. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the
RSUs. 

  

	(b)	Restrictions. The RSUs and any interest therein, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt to
dispose of any RSUs in contravention of the above restriction shall be null and void and without effect. 


  
 1 









	(c)	Performance-Based Requirements; Lapse of Restrictions. 

  

	 	(i)	Subject to Section 2(c)(ii) below, for each of 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 (each such year, a “Performance Year”), the Grantee shall be credited with a number of RSUs equal to the Annual Target Number of RSUs
for the applicable Performance Year multiplied by a percentage that (A) will be determined by the Administrator after the Performance Year based on the Company’s achievement of financial performance goals established for that Performance
Year and (B) will be between 0% and 200%. The performance goals and the methodology for establishing the number of RSUs to be credited will be established by the Administrator not later than ninety (90) days after the start of the
applicable Performance Year (and in any event at a time when it is substantially uncertain whether the performance targets will be achieved). The methodology to determine the RSU crediting percentage will be communicated to the Grantee after it is
established by the Administrator. The Administrator shall, following the end of each Performance Year, determine whether and the extent to which the performance targets for that Performance Year have been satisfied and the RSU crediting percentage
for that Performance Year. Such determinations by the Administrator shall be final and binding. The date of such determinations by the Administrator for the Performance Year is referred to as the “Determination Date.” Any of the Annual
Target Number of RSUs for a particular Performance Year that are not credited to the Grantee in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(c)(i) shall terminate as of the last day of the Performance Year. 


 

	 	(ii)	Subject to Sections 2(e) through 2(f) below, the RSUs credited to the Grantee pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) for a particular Performance Year shall vest and become non-forfeitable
upon the Vesting Date for that Performance Year; provided, however, that if a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2(g)) occurs during the Performance Year, the Annual Target Number of RSUs for such Performance Year shall vest upon the
final day of such Performance Year. The “Vesting Date” for a Performance Year shall be the Determination Date as to that Performance Year unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. 


 

	(d)	Timing and Manner of Payment of RSUs. 

  

	 	(i)	 In the event that the Notice of Grant specifies that the manner of payment by the Company shall be stock, as soon
as practicable after (and in no case more than seventy-four days after) the date any RSUs subject to the Award become non-forfeitable (the “Payment Date”), such RSUs shall be paid by the Company
delivering to the Grantee a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs that become non-forfeitable upon that Payment Date (rounded down to the nearest whole share). The Company shall issue the Shares either
(A) in certificate form or (B) in book entry form, registered in the name of the Grantee. Delivery of any certificates will be made to the Grantee’s last address reflected on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless the
Company is otherwise instructed in writing. The Grantee shall not be required to pay any cash consideration for the 



  
 2 









	 	
RSUs or for any Shares received pursuant to the Award. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or
interests in any RSUs that are so paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to issue Shares in payment of the RSUs unless such issuance and such payment shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the
requirements of any Stock Exchange. 

  

	 	(ii)	In the event that the Notice of Grant specifies that the manner of payment by the Company shall be cash, as soon as practicable after (and in no case more than seventy-four days after) the Payment Date, such RSUs shall
be paid in a lump sum cash payment equal in the aggregate to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Payment Date multiplied by the number of such RSUs that become non-forfeitable upon that Payment Date. The
Grantee shall not be required to pay any cash consideration for the RSUs or for any cash received pursuant to the Award. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further
rights or interests in any RSUs that are so paid. 

  

	 	(iii)	In the event that the Notice of Grant specifies that the manner of payment by the Company shall be cash or stock at the Company’s election, as soon as practicable after (and in no case more than seventy-four days
after) the Payment Date, such RSUs shall be paid, at the Company’s option, (A) in a lump sum cash payment equal in the aggregate to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Payment Date multiplied by the number of such RSUs that become non-forfeitable upon that Payment Date or (B) by the Company delivering to the Grantee a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs that become non-forfeitable upon
that Payment Date (rounded down to the nearest whole share). If the RSUs are paid in Shares, the Company shall issue the Shares either (1) in certificate form or (2) in book entry form, registered in the name of the Grantee. Delivery of
any certificates will be made to the Grantee’s last address reflected on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless the Company is otherwise instructed in writing. The Grantee shall not be required to pay any cash consideration for
the RSUs or for any Shares or cash received pursuant to the Award. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any RSUs that are so paid.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue Shares in payment of the RSUs unless such issuance and such payment shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any Stock
Exchange. 


  
 3 









	(e)	Termination of Employment Generally; Leaves of Absence. The following provisions shall apply in the event of the termination of the Grantee’s employment or service with the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary,
or should the Grantee take a leave of absence from employment with the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary: 

  

	 	(i)	General. In the event of the termination of the Grantee’s employment or service with the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary for any reason prior to the lapsing of the restrictions in accordance with Section
2(c) hereof with respect to any of the RSUs granted hereunder, such portion of the RSUs held by the Grantee shall be automatically forfeited by the Grantee as of the date of termination. (The date of any such termination of the Grantee’s
employment or service is referred to in this Agreement as the “Termination Date.”) Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any rights or interests in any RSUs that
are forfeited pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(ii)	Previously Adopted Yahoo Severance Plans and Policies Do Not Apply to This Award. This Award of RSUs shall not be subject to the acceleration of vesting provisions of any Yahoo! Inc. Amended and Restated
Change in Control Employee Severance Plan or of any other plan, policy, or agreement in effect on the date of grant specified in the Notice of Grant (the “Date of Grant”) (such as, to the extent otherwise applicable and without limitation,
the Yahoo! Inc. Employee Severance Plan for Vice Presidents and Employees, any Key Employee Income Protection Benefits letter, any executive severance agreement letter, or any other agreement between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary, or
any amendment to any of the foregoing). 

  

	 	(iii)	Leaves of Absence. The provisions of this paragraph are subject to compliance with all applicable laws relating to the Grantee’s employment by the Company, Parent or Subsidiary (as applicable), and shall
apply to the Award unless otherwise expressly provided in a Company leave of absence vesting policy approved by the Administrator or otherwise by the Administrator. In the event the Grantee is on an authorized leave of absence from the Company,
Parent or Subsidiary (as applicable) at any time on or after the first day of a Performance Year, the Vesting Date for that Performance Year shall be the date that is X days following the Determination Date for that Performance Year (where
“X” equals the total number of calendar days that the Grantee is on such a leave of absence in the period of time commencing with the first day of that Performance Period through and including the Determination Date for that Performance
Period or, if the Grantee is on such a leave of absence on the Determination Date for that Performance Period, through and including the last day of such leave of absence), but in no event shall the Vesting Date be later than the last day of the
maximum term of this Award as provided in the Plan (and any RSUs that have not vested and become non-forfeitable when such maximum term is reached shall be automatically forfeited by the Grantee).



  
 4 









	(f)	Corporate Transactions. The following provisions shall apply to the corporate transactions described below: 

  

	 	(i)	In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Award will terminate and be forfeited immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction, unless otherwise provided by the
Administrator. 

  

	 	(ii)	In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, the Award shall be assumed or substituted with an equivalent award
by such successor corporation, parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation; provided that the Administrator may determine, in the exercise of its sole discretion in connection with a transaction that constitutes a permissible distribution
event under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, that in lieu of such assumption or substitution, the Award shall be vested and non-forfeitable and any conditions or restrictions on the Award shall lapse, as
to a number of RSUs equal to the sum of (A) the number of RSUs (if any) that would have vested in accordance with Section 2(c) with respect to any Performance Year ended prior to the year in which such transaction occurs (to the extent not
previously paid and assuming the Grantee’s employment had continued through the applicable Vesting Date), and (B) the Annual Target Number of RSUs for the Performance Year in which such transaction occurs and any subsequent Performance
Year(s). 

  

	(g)	Certain Definitions. 

  

	 	(i)	For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the first of the following events to occur after the Date of Grant: 


 

	 	(A)	any person or group of persons (as defined in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) together with its Affiliates (as defined below), but excluding (1) the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (2) any
employee benefit plans of the Company or (3) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company (individually a “Person” and
collectively, “Persons”), is or becomes, directly or indirectly, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company representing 40% or
more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates); 


 

	 	(B)	 the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company
with any other corporation or entity regardless of which entity is the survivor, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities of the 



  
 5 









	 	
surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company, such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation; or 

  

	 	(C)	the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or 


 

	 	(D)	the consummation of a sale or disposition (whether directly or by merger or other business combination) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a Person or Persons in one or a series of related
transactions; provided, however, that, for purposes of this paragraph (D), the assets of the Company shall not include the Company’s direct and indirect equity interests in Alibaba Group Holding Limited and Yahoo Japan Corporation.


  

	 	(ii)	For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” means, with respect to any individual or entity, any other individual or entity who, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with, such individual or entity. 

  

	(h)	 Income Taxes. Except as provided in the next three sentences, the Company shall withhold and/or reacquire
a number of Shares issued in payment of (or otherwise issuable in payment of, as the case may be) the RSUs having a Fair Market Value equal to the taxes that the Company determines it or the Grantee’s employer is required to withhold under
applicable tax laws with respect to the RSUs (with such withholding obligation determined based on any applicable minimum statutory withholding rates) (“Net Share Settlement”). In the event that the Company cannot (under applicable legal,
regulatory, listing or other requirements, or otherwise) satisfy such tax withholding obligation in such method or in the event that the RSUs are paid in cash (as opposed to Shares), the Company may satisfy such withholding by any one or a
combination of the following methods: (i) by requiring the Grantee to pay such amount in cash or check; (ii) by reducing the amount of any cash otherwise payable to the Grantee with respect to the RSUs; (iii) by deducting such amount
out of any other compensation otherwise payable to the Grantee; and/or (iv) by allowing the Grantee to surrender shares of Common Stock of the Company which (A) in the case of shares initially acquired from the Company (upon exercise of a
stock option or otherwise), have been owned by the Grantee for such period (if any) as may be required to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the amount required to
be withheld. For these purposes, the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or repurchased, as applicable, shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Grantee has been designated by the Company’s Board of Directors as an “executive officer” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the
Administrator may (but is under no obligation to) allow the Grantee, during such times and under such terms as the Administrator may provide, to elect in advance whether tax withholding obligations in connection with any payment of the RSUs in
Shares will be satisfied (1) by Net Share Settlement, or (2) by the Grantee making a payment in cash to 



  
 6 









	 	
the Company (such election (2), a “Cash Election”); and if the Grantee has a Cash Election in effect on the Date of Grant as to other Company RSU awards, such election shall also apply
to this Award, unless and until such election is modified in accordance with its terms. 

  

	 	(i)	No Advice Regarding Award. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or the
Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Grantee 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. 

 Section 3. Miscellaneous 
  

	(a)	Notices. Any and all notices, designations, consents, offers, acceptances and any other communications provided for herein shall be given in writing and shall be delivered either personally or by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, which shall be addressed, in the case of the Company to both the Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel of the Company at the principal office of the Company and, in the case of the Grantee, to the
Grantee’s address appearing on the books of the Company or to the Grantee’s residence or to such other address as may be designated in writing by the Grantee. Notices may also be delivered to the Grantee, during his or her employment,
through the Company’s inter-office or electronic mail systems. 

  

	(b)	No Right to Continued Employment. The Grantee understands and agrees that the vesting of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above is not earned through the act of being hired, being granted the RSUs or being
credited Shares under this Agreement. The Grantee further acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement, nor in the Plan which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference, shall confer upon the Grantee any right with respect to
continuation as an employee or consultant with the Company, a Parent or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company, a Parent or any Subsidiary, which is hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate
or discharge the Grantee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause and with or without advance notice. 

  

	(c)	Bound by Plan. By signing this Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges that he/she has received a copy of the Plan and has had an opportunity to review the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions
of the Plan. 

  

	(d)	Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and of the Grantee and the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and
successors of the Grantee. 

  

	(e)	Headings. The headings of the Sections hereof are provided for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction, and shall not constitute a part, of this Agreement.



  
 7 









	(f)	Section 409A. This Agreement and the Award are intended to comply with or be exempt from, as the case may be, Section 409A of the Code so as to not result in any tax, penalty or interest thereunder. This
Agreement and the Award shall be construed and interpreted accordingly. Except for the Company’s tax withholding rights, the Grantee shall be solely responsible for any and all tax liability with respect to the Award. 


 

	(g)	Invalid Provision. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision hereof shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or
unenforceable provision had been omitted. 

  

	(h)	Governing Law/Choice of Venue. 

  

	 	(i)	This Agreement and the rights of the Grantee hereunder shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof), as
provided in the Plan. 

  

	 	(ii)	For the purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by the Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit and consent to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the State of California where this grant is made and/or to be performed and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal court of the United States for the
Northern District of California, and no other courts. 

  

	(i)	Imposition of Other Requirements. If the Grantee relocates to another country after the Date of Grant, the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan,
to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to
accomplish the foregoing. 

  

	(j)	Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Grantee acknowledges that he or she is subject to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and may be or may become subject to the Company’s 10b5-1 Trading Plan Policy, each as amended from time to time. In addition, the Grantee understands that he or she may be subject to insider trading restrictions under securities laws, market abuse laws, and/or
other similar laws, and such restrictions may affect his or her ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares. The Grantee acknowledges that it is the Grantee’s responsibility to comply with such Company policies and any additional
restrictions that may apply under applicable laws with respect to the Grantee’s acquisition, holding, and any disposition of Shares or rights to Shares. 

  

	(k)	Recoupment. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the recoupment or “clawback” policies adopted by the Administrator and applicable to equity awards, as such policies are in effect from time to
time, shall apply to the Award and any Shares or cash that may be issued in respect of the Award. 


  
 8 









	(l)	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notice of Grant and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein and
supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto. 

  

	(m)	Modifications. No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the parties hereto. 


 

	(n)	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 


 

	(o)	Signature. This Agreement shall be deemed executed by the Company and the Grantee as of the Date of Grant upon execution by such parties (or upon the Grantee’s online acceptance) of the Notice of Grant.
