      as Program), pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Key Employee Stock Plan (Plan). The Award represents the right to receive shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (Shares) that are
      subject to achievement of the performance criteria and of the vesting conditions set forth in this agreement (Agreement).

    The details of your Award are summarized below:

    Grant ID: <<Grant ID>>

    Grant Date: <<Grant Date>>

    

    

    Target Number of Performance Share Units: <<Number of RPSUs>>

    Vesting Date: 100% on June 30, 2023, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.

    The terms of the Award are as set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, a copy of which is available on the UBS One
      Source Website. The Plan is incorporated into this Agreement by reference, which means that this Agreement is limited by and subject to the express terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and

              Performance Criteria. The Performance Period for this Award is three (3) fiscal years – one year of financial performance and continued employment through the Vesting Date, except as
                otherwise noted in Section 3.  Fiscal Year 2021 Company EBITDA (weighted at 60%) and Fiscal Year 2021 Company or Business Revenue (weighted at 40%)
                are the financial performance measures used for this performance period.  Participants in the Businesses noted below at the time Awards are granted will have that Business’ Revenue measure, and other participants will have the Company
                Revenue measure.  The non-achievement of the threshold performance level for one of the financial criteria does not preclude a payout for that other financial criteria.

            


    

    EBITDA  Adjusted operating income excluding depreciation expense and amortization of intangible and product development assets in the Company’s Summary of Operations, consistent with amounts reported for the Company’s adjusted EBITDA results reported

              Issuance
                  of Shares and Shareholder Rights. Following the performance period, any performance share units earned for the performance period remain subject to vesting as described herein.  You shall not have any right in, to, or with respect to any of the Shares (including any voting rights or rights with respect to dividends paid on the Common Stock) issuable under the Award until the Award is
                  settled by the issuance of such Shares to you.  One Share shall be issuable for each performance share unit that vests on such vesting date subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.  On or promptly
                following that date, the Company shall transfer such Shares to you upon satisfaction of any required minimum tax withholding obligations. No fractional shares shall be issued under this Agreement. Following settlement of the Award, and upon
                satisfaction of all minimum tax withholding obligations, you become a shareholder of record, and shall receive voting rights and rights with respect to dividends paid thereafter on the Shares awarded.

              a.

            	
              Generally.  You
                are ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company or UBS takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Award.  Neither the
                Company nor UBS makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of the Award or the subsequent sale of Shares issuable pursuant to the Award.  The Company does
                not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.  The Company may refuse to issue any Shares to you until you satisfy the tax withholding obligation.   For purposes hereof, “UBS”
                includes the Plan third party administrator and any successor thereto.

            


    

    
      	
              b.

            	
              Payment of Withholding Taxes. 
                Prior to each vesting date in connection with the Award that results in any domestic or foreign tax withholding obligation, whether national, federal, state or local, including any social tax obligation, you must arrange for the
                satisfaction of the minimum amount of such tax withholding obligation, as required, in a manner acceptable to the Company.  You are responsible for obtaining professional advice as appropriate.  Prior to the vesting dates in connection with
                the Award, you shall be notified by UBS of any minimum tax withholding obligation.  You have the option of satisfying your minimum tax withholding obligation in one of two ways: 

                

            


      
        
          

          

        

        
          


        
          

          

        

      

    

    
      	
              i.

            	
              By
                    Surrendering Shares.  Unless you choose to satisfy the minimum tax withholding obligation by some other means in accordance with clause (ii) below, your acceptance of this Award constitutes your instruction and authorization
                to the Company and UBS to withhold a whole number of Shares from those Shares issuable to you as the Company and UBS determine to be appropriate to satisfy your minimum tax withholding obligation on each vesting date.

            


    

    
      	
              ii.

            	
              By Check (U.S. participants only), Wire Transfer or Other Means.  You
                may elect to satisfy your minimum tax withholding obligation by remitting to UBS as instructed an amount that the Company and UBS determine is sufficient to satisfy the minimum tax withholding obligation.
