 YAHOO! INC. 
 1995 STOCK PLAN
 PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

 FOR U.S. EXECUTIVES 
 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. 1995 Stock Plan, as amended (the “Award”). 

  

	(b)	Incorporation of Plan; Capitalized Terms. The provisions of the Yahoo! Inc. 1995 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.

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

  

	 	(i)	Subject to Section 2(c)(ii) below, for each of 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 (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(g) 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 Determination 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. 

  

	(d)	 Timing and Manner of Payment of RSUs. 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 (i) in certificate form or (ii) 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 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 



  

			
	Performance RSU Award Agreement for U.S. Executives (February 2013)	  	2










	 	
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. 


 

	(e)	Termination of Employment. 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: 

  

	 	(i)	General. Except as expressly provided below in this Section 2(e) or Section 2(g), 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 so forfeited. 

  


	 	(ii)	Termination Without Cause or Due to Death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i) but subject to Section 2(g) below:


  

	 	(A)	 Termination More Than Six Months After Start of Performance Year: in the event (1) the termination of the Grantee’s employment is by
the Company, Parent or Subsidiary without Cause (as defined below) or due to the Grantee’s death or Total Disability (as defined in the Plan) and the Grantee complies with the release and other requirements described in Section 2(j), and
(2) the Termination Date occurs more than six (6) months after the start of a particular Performance Year and prior to the Determination Date for that Performance Year, the number of RSUs that vest for that Performance Year shall equal
(x) the number of RSUs (if any) that would have vested in accordance with Section 2(c) if the Grantee’s employment had continued through the Determination Date, multiplied by (y) a fraction (which shall not be greater than 1),
the numerator of which is the number of whole months between January 1 of the Performance Year and the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is twelve (12). Any RSUs that vest pursuant to this clause (ii)(A) shall be paid as soon as
practicable after (and in no case more than seventy-four days after) the later of the last day of the Performance Year or the Termination Date (provided, that if the period for the Grantee to consider and revoke the release contemplated by
Section 2(j) spans two different calendar years, payment of such RSUs will be made within such prescribed time period, but in the second of those two years). Any RSUs that do not vest in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause
(ii)(A) shall terminate as of the Termination Date (or, in the case of a termination during the Performance Year, as of the last day of the Performance Year). For avoidance of doubt, this clause (ii)(A) will not apply to any such termination that
occurs during the first half of the Performance Year or, 



  

			
	Performance RSU Award Agreement for U.S. Executives (February 2013)	  	3










	 	
other than a termination due to the Grantee’s death or Total Disability, at any time within the 12-month period following a Change in Control. 


 

	 	(B)	Front-Loaded Awards - Termination More Than Six Months After Start of Performance Year: notwithstanding the foregoing clause (ii)(A), in the event (1) the
termination of the Grantee’s employment is by the Company, Parent or Subsidiary without Cause or due to the Grantee’s death or Total Disability and the Grantee complies with the release and other requirements described in
Section 2(j), and (2) this award is designated as “front loaded” in the Notice of Grant, then the number of RSUs that vest upon the Termination Date shall equal the quotient of (x) any RSUs that would have vested under
clause (ii)(A) if this were not a front-loaded award, divided by (y) the number of years of annual awards this grant represents, as stated in the Notice of Grant. Any RSUs that vest pursuant to this clause (ii)(B) shall be paid as soon as
practicable after (and in no case more than seventy-four days after) the later of the last day of the Performance Year or the Termination Date (provided, that if the period for the Grantee to consider and revoke the release contemplated by
Section 2(j) spans two different calendar years, payment of such RSUs will be made within such prescribed time period, but in the second of those two years). Any RSUs that do not vest in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause
(ii)(B) shall terminate as of the Termination Date (or, in the case of a termination during the Performance Year, as of the last day of the Performance Year). For avoidance of doubt, this clause (ii)(B) will not apply to any such termination (other
than a termination due to the Grantee’s death or Total Disability) that occurs at any time within the 12-month period following a Change in Control. 

  

	 	(iii)	 For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company based upon the occurrence of
one or more of the following which, with respect to clauses (A), (B) and (C) below, if curable, the Grantee has not cured within fourteen (14) days after the Grantee receives written notice from the Company specifying with reasonable
particularity such occurrence: (A) the Grantee’s refusal or material failure to perform the Grantee’s job duties and responsibilities (other than by reason of the Grantee’s serious physical or mental illness, injury or medical
condition); (B) the Grantee’s failure or refusal to comply in any material respect with material Company policies or lawful directives; (C) the Grantee’s material breach of any contract or agreement between the Grantee and the
Company (including but not limited to any Employee Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement or similar agreement between the Grantee and the Company), or the Grantee’s material breach of any statutory duty, fiduciary duty or any
other obligation that the Grantee owes to the Company; (D) the Grantee’s commission of an act of fraud, theft, embezzlement or other unlawful act against the Company or involving its property or assets or the Grantee’s engaging in
unprofessional, unethical or other intentional acts that materially discredit the Company or are materially detrimental to the reputation, character or standing of the Company; or (E) the




  

			
	Performance RSU Award Agreement for U.S. Executives (February 2013)	  	4










	 	
Grantee’s indictment or conviction or nolo contendre or guilty plea with respect to any felony or crime of moral turpitude. Following notice and cure as provided in the preceding
sentence, upon any additional one-time occurrence of one or more of the events enumerated in that sentence, the Company may terminate the Grantee’s employment for Cause without notice and opportunity to cure. However, should the Company choose
to offer the Grantee another opportunity to cure, it shall not be deemed a waiver of its rights under this provision. For purposes of this definition, the term “Company” shall include a Parent or any Subsidiary of the Company.


  

	(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 Determination 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)	Change in Control. The following provisions shall apply in the event of a Change in Control (as defined below) prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of
grant specified in the Notice of Grant (the “Date of Grant”): 

  

	 	(i)	 In the event that, during the period of twelve (12) months following the Change in Control, the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the
Company, Parent or any Subsidiary without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined below) and the Grantee complies with the release and other requirements described in Section 2(j), a number of RSUs shall vest upon the later of the
Grantee’s Termination Date or the date any such release becomes final and irrevocable 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 the Change in Control occurs (to the extent not previously paid 



  

			
	Performance RSU Award Agreement for U.S. Executives (February 2013)	  	5










	 	
and assuming the Grantee’s employment had continued through the applicable Determination Date), and (B) the Annual Target Number of RSUs for the Performance Year in which the Change in
Control occurs and any subsequent Performance Year(s). Any RSUs that vest pursuant to this clause (i) shall be paid as soon as practicable after (and in no case more than seventy-four days after) the Termination Date (provided, that if the
period for the Grantee to consider and revoke any such release spans two different calendar years, payment of such RSUs will be made within such prescribed time period, but in the second of those two years). 


 

	 	(ii)	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
(i) the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any employee benefit plans of the Company or (iii) 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 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 there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by
the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, provided, however, that a sale of the Company’s search business shall not constitute a Change in Control, regardless of whether stockholders approve the transaction.



  

			
	Performance RSU Award Agreement for U.S. Executives (February 2013)	  	6










	 	(iii)	For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall be deemed to exist only if the Company shall fail to correct within 30 days after receipt of written
notice from the Grantee specifying in reasonable detail the reasons the Grantee believes one of the following events or conditions has occurred (provided such notice is delivered by the Grantee no later than 30 days after the initial existence of
the occurrence): (A) a material diminution of the Grantee’s then current aggregate base salary and target bonus amount (other than reductions that also affect other similarly situated employees) without the Grantee’s prior written
agreement; (B) the material diminution of the Grantee’s authority, duties or responsibilities as an employee of the Company without the Grantee’s prior written agreement (except that change in title or assignment to a new supervisor
by itself shall not constitute Good Reason); or (C) the relocation of the Grantee’s position with the Company to a location that is greater than 50 miles from the Grantee’s current principal place of employment with the Company, and
that is also further from the Grantee’s principal place of residence, without the Grantee’s prior written agreement, provided that in all events the termination of the Grantee’s service with the Company shall not be treated as a
termination for “Good Reason” unless such termination occurs not more than six (6) months following the initial existence of the occurrence of the event or condition claimed to constitute “Good Reason.” For purposes of this
definition, the term “Company” shall include a Parent or any Subsidiary of the Company. 

  

	 	(iv)	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. 

 This Award of RSUs shall not be subject to the acceleration of vesting provisions of Section 2.5 of the Amended and Restated Yahoo! Inc. Change in Control Employee Severance Plan for Level I and
Level II Employees. 
  

	(h)	 Income Taxes. Except as provided in the next sentence, 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). 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, 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 deducting such amount out of
any other compensation otherwise payable to the Grantee; and/or (iii) 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. 



  

			
	Performance RSU Award Agreement for U.S. Executives (February 2013)	  	7










	 	
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.


  

	(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. 

  

	(j)	Conditions of Accelerated Vesting; Exclusive Remedy. The accelerated vesting provisions specified in Sections 2(e) and 2(g) above are conditioned on (1) the
Grantee’s signing a full release of any and all claims against the Company in a release form acceptable to the Company (within the period specified in it by the Company, which in no event shall be more than fifty days following the
Grantee’s Termination Date) and the Grantee’s not revoking such release pursuant to any revocation rights afforded by applicable law, and (2) the Grantee’s compliance with the Grantee’s obligations under his or her Employee
Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement, or similar agreement. The Grantee agrees that such accelerated vesting benefits specified in this Agreement (and any applicable severance benefits provided under a written agreement with the
Company then in effect in accordance with its terms) will constitute the exclusive and sole remedy for any termination of the Grantee’s employment and the Grantee covenants not to assert or pursue any other remedies, at law or in equity, with
respect to the Grantee’s termination and/or employment. 

 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 



  

			
	Performance RSU Award Agreement for U.S. Executives (February 2013)	  	8










	 	
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. 

  

	(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)	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 that may be issued in respect of the Award.

subject matter contained herein and therein and supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto.

hereto.
