HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED 

2012 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN 

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT 

THIS RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of
[                    ], is entered into between HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
[                    ] (“Grantee”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the
Company’s 2012 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

A. Grantee is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company; and 

B. The execution of this Agreement in the form hereof has been authorized by the Compensation and Option Committee of the Board (the
“Committee”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement,
the Company and Grantee agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Restricted Share Units. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions,
and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee [                    ] Restricted Share Units
(the “Grant”). Each Restricted Share Unit shall represent the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). This Agreement constitutes an “Award Certificate”
under the Plan. 
 2. Date of Grant. The effective date of the Grant is
[                    ] (the “Date of Grant”). 

3. Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Share Units. Neither the Restricted Share Units granted hereby nor any interest
therein shall be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 4. Vesting of Restricted Share
Units. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a number of Restricted Share Units equal to the
Performance-Earned Units (determined in accordance with Exhibit A) shall become nonforfeitable on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Date”), unless earlier forfeited in accordance with Section 5. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(a) above, (i) if a Change in Control occurs prior to June 30,
2017, 60% of the Restricted Share Units plus a pro-rata portion of the remaining 40% of the Restricted Share Units, with such pro-ration based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the Date of Grant








 
through the date of such Change in Control, and the denominator of which is 1095, to the extent not previously forfeited, shall become immediately nonforfeitable upon the occurrence of a Change
in Control (as defined below) and (ii) if a Change in Control occurs on or subsequent to June 30, 2017, the number of Restricted Share Units that become nonforfeitable upon such Change in Control shall instead be the number of
Performance-Earned Units (determined in accordance with Exhibit A). A “Change in Control” means the occurrence, while the Grantee remains employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, of any of the following events: 

(i) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 25% or more of the combined voting power of the then
outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting Shares”); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 4(b)(i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a
Change in Control: (A) any issuance of Voting Shares directly from the Company that is approved by the Incumbent Board (as defined in Section 4(b)(ii) below), (B) any acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of Voting Shares,
(C) any acquisition of Voting Shares by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary or (D) any acquisition of Voting Shares by any Person pursuant to a Business Combination that
complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 4(b)(iii) below; 
 (ii) individuals who, as of the date
hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a Director after the date hereof whose election, or nomination for
election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors then constituting the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is
named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be deemed to have been a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an
actual or threatened election contest (within the meaning of Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act) with respect to the election or removal of Directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other
than the Board; 
 (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, a sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or other transaction (each, a “Business Combination”), unless, in each case, immediately following the Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities
who were the beneficial owners of Voting Shares immediately prior to the Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding Voting Shares of the


  
 2 








 
entity resulting from the Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries), (B) no Person (other than the Company, such entity resulting from the Business Combination, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company, any
Subsidiary or such entity resulting from the Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding Voting Shares of the entity resulting from the Business Combination and
(C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the entity resulting from the Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board
providing for the Business Combination; or 
 (iv) approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Company, except pursuant to a Business Combination that complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 4(b)(iii) hereof. 

5. Forfeiture of Restricted Share Units. 

(a) Except as otherwise described in this Section 5, any of the Restricted Share Units that remain forfeitable in
accordance with Section 4 hereof shall be forfeited if Grantee ceases for any reason to be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at any time prior to such units becoming nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 4 hereof, unless the
Committee determines to provide otherwise at the time of the cessation of the Grantee’s employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Grantee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to have been interrupted,
and Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, by reason of (i) the transfer of Grantee’s employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) an approved leave of absence of not
more than 90 days, or (iii) the period of any leave of absence required to be granted by the Company under any law, rule, regulation or contract applicable to Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary. 

(b) Prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee may, at any time between the determination of the
Performance-Earned Amount and the Vesting Date, exercise negative discretion to reduce the Performance-Earned Amount, but only based on a determination by the Committee in good faith that the Performance-Earned Amount calculated pursuant to Exhibit
A was inflated by excessive risk taking or other manipulative conduct by the Grantee or other members of the Company’s management team intended to increase the Performance-Earned Amount. 

(c) Upon the final determination of Performance-Earned Amount contemplated by Exhibit A, all Restricted Share Units that are
(as a result of such determination) no longer capable of becoming nonforfeitable shall be immediately forfeited. 

  
 3 








 6. Payment of Restricted Share Units. Subject to Section 10, the shares of
Common Stock underlying any Restricted Share Units that become non-forfeitable as specified in this Agreement shall be transferred to the Grantee on the earlier of (i) the date of the final determination of the Performance-Earned Amount
contemplated by Exhibit A, or (ii) a Change in Control; provided, however, that the Committee in its sole discretion may settle the award of Restricted Share Units wholly or partly in cash, in which case the fair market value of
the Restricted Share Units shall be equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock underlying such Restricted Share Units (with such fair market value determined in accordance with the definition under the Plan as of the date such
shares would have been transferred under this Agreement but for the Committee’s discretion to settle the Restricted Share Units in cash, subject to withholding as provided in Section 8). 

7. Dividend, Voting and Other Rights. The Grantee shall have no rights of ownership in the Restricted Share Units and shall have
no voting rights with respect to such Restricted Share Units or the underlying shares of Common Stock until the date on which the Grantee receives the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Share Units in accordance with Section 6
hereof. From and after the Date of Grant and until the time when the Grantee receives the shares of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Share Units in accordance with Section 6 hereof, the Company shall not pay to the Grantee any dividends
with respect to the Restricted Share Units. 
 8. Retention of Common Stock by the Company; Withholding. The shares of Common
Stock underlying any Restricted Share Units that become nonforfeitable shall, at the time set forth in Section 6 hereof, be released to the Grantee by the Company’s transfer agent at the direction of the Company. At such time as the
Restricted Share Units become payable as specified in this Agreement, the Company shall direct the transfer agent to forward all such shares of Common Stock to the Grantee; provided, however, that if the Grantee has notified the
Company of his or her election to satisfy any tax obligations by surrender of a portion of such shares, the transfer agent will be directed to forward the remaining balance of shares after the amount necessary for such taxes has been deducted. The
cash, if any, paid to Grantee pursuant to Section 6 above shall be reduced by any required tax withholding or other required governmental deduction. 

9. Compliance with Law. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities
laws; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock or other securities pursuant to this Agreement if the issuance thereof would, in the reasonable
opinion of the Company, result in a violation of any such law. 
 10. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the
extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement and the Plan comply with, or be exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and be interpreted consistent with Section 409A of the Code.

meanings assigned to them in the Plan. The Committee, acting pursuant to the Plan shall, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, have the right to determine any questions which arise in connection with this grant. 

13. Employment Rights. This Agreement shall not confer on Grantee any right with respect to the continuance of employment or
other services with the Company or any Subsidiary. No provision of this Agreement shall limit in any way whatsoever any right that the Company or a Subsidiary may otherwise have to terminate the employment of Grantee at any time. 

14. Communications. All notices, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder or designated to be given with

shall be final and conclusive. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any such action or determination made in good faith. 
 16.
Amendment in Writing. This Agreement may be amended as provided in the Plan; provided, however, that all such amendments shall be in writing. 

17. Integration. The Restricted Share Units are granted pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, this Agreement is subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, a copy of which is available upon request and which is incorporated herein by reference. As such, this Agreement and the Plan embody the entire agreement and

enforceable.
