EXAMPLE


•Vesting will be determined as follows:


•PRSUs Granted – 2,400 Units


•1/3 of PRSUs granted (i.e. 800) are used as the basis for determining the banking in years 1, 2, and 3


•Number of PRSUs banked each year = 1/3 PRSUs granted multiplied by the applicable banked shares modifier


•Number of PRSUs Vesting on Vesting Date is greater of:
◦Year 1 banked PRSUs + Year 2 banked PRSUs + Year 3 banked PRSUs OR
◦If Three-Year CAGR Relative Performance is greater than 50th percentile and Year 3 ROIC is 10% or greater, than = Total PRSUs granted * Three-Year CAGR Modifier * Year 3 ROIC Modifier
																					
		Year 1	Year 2	Year 3

	50%	50th percentile
	100%	60th percentile
	120%
	ROIC	9%	0.85	15%	1.00	16%	1.15






Formula A = (2,400/3*50%*.85) + (2,400/3*100%*1.00) + (2,400/3*120%*1.15)
           = 340 + 800 + 1,104 = 2,244 PRSUs
Formula B = 2,400 * 120% * 1.15 = 3,312 PRSUs    
Formula B > Formula A so, 
Total PRSUs vested = 3,312 PRSUs


4.Vesting on Termination of Employment, Death, Disability, Retirement and Change in Control.
a.General. Unless otherwise provided in this Section 4, any unvested PRSUs shall be forfeited immediately upon the date that Participant terminates his or her service with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or otherwise ceases to be a Participant Eligible to Vest (“Termination Date”). Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Committee or its designee, Participant’s right to vest in the PRSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such Termination Date and will not be extended by any notice period.
									
		4
	










b.Participant’s Death. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant dies while providing service to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, the PRSUs shall immediately vest based on the banked amounts for those Performance Year(s) completed and vest at Target for any uncompleted Performance Year. The vested portion of the PRSUs shall be delivered to the executor or administrator of Participant’s estate or, if none, to the person(s) entitled to receive the vested PRSUs under Participant’s will or the laws of descent or distribution, and the unvested portion of the PRSUs shall be forfeited.
c.Participant’s Disability. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant terminates service from the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate due to Disability, the PRSUs shall vest in full based on the banked amounts for those Performance Year(s) completed and vest at Target for any uncompleted Performance Year. “Disability” shall mean that the Participant, due to physical or mental illness, is considered disabled under the Company’s long-term disability insurance plan.
d.Participant’s Retirement. If the Participant’s status as an employee of the Company any Subsidiary or Affiliates terminates by reason of a Covered Retirement, as defined below, the PRSUs shall immediately vest based on the banked amounts for those Performance Year(s) completed prior to the Participant’s date of retirement plus the pro-rata of the Target for any uncompleted Performance Year (number of days employed during the Performance Year divided 365 multiplied by the Target for the uncompleted Performance Year). For purposes hereof, a “Covered Retirement” is the voluntary termination of a Retirement Eligible Individual who has provided the Company not less than six months’ prior notice of such employee’s intent to retire from the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; provided, however, the Compensation Committee may waive the six-month notice period or allow an earlier retirement date with the consent of the Participant. A “Retirement Eligible Individual” means an employee of the Company or an Affiliate who has attained at least 55 years of age and who has a combined age and years of credited employment service with the Company and/or all Affiliates of 65 years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the definition of a Covered Retirement shall not include any retirement of service that occurs prior to the first Vesting Event.
e.Qualifying Termination. Upon a Qualifying Termination, unvested PRSUs that otherwise would have vested within six months of the Participant’s Termination Date shall vest on the Participant’s Termination Date in full at the sum of the banked amounts for those Performance Year(s) completed (if any) plus Target for any uncompleted Performance Year(s).  “Qualifying Termination” shall mean, with respect to the Participant, an involuntary termination of employment without Cause by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate other than a termination by reason of death, Disability, Covered Retirement, or related to a Change-in-Control (and covered by Section 4(f) below). Cause as a reason for a Participant’s termination of employment as an employee shall have the meaning assigned such term in the employment agreement, if any, between such Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; provided, however, that if there is no such employment agreement in which such term is defined, “Cause” shall mean (i) the Participant’s willful and continued failure to perform his or her duties with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and specifically excluding any failure by the Participant, after reasonable efforts, to meet performance expectations), or (ii) the willful engaging by the Participant in illegal conduct, gross misconduct, or conduct in violation of Company policies.  For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Participant, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant in bad faith or without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. 
f.Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the PRSUs will convert to time-based RSUs based on the greater of (i) the sum of the Target for each Performance Year or (ii) the sum of the banked amounts plus Target for uncompleted Performance Year(s). Vesting of the time-based RSUs will assume the vesting schedule of the original PRSU award. The time-based RSUs as so converted:
i.Will automatically accelerate and vest in full if within the 24-month period following the Change in Control, if the Participant is terminated by the Company or the continuing entity or any of its Affiliates without Cause;
ii.Will automatically accelerate and vest in full at the Change in Control if this Agreement is not assumed or replaced by the acquirer/continuing entity or replaced 
									
		5
	










by other terms or awards deemed by the Compensation Committee to be appropriate; or
iii.Will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, if vesting has not otherwise been accelerated as provided above.


5.Restrictive Covenants and Remedies.  Participant agrees to the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 5 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants and the remedies described herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company.  The Participant acknowledges the uncertainty of the law with respect to Restrictive Covenants and expressly stipulates that this Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law. 
a.Confidentiality.  The Participant agrees, during their employment with the Company and thereafter, to maintain the confidentiality of the Company’s Confidential Information and to use such Confidential Information for the exclusive benefit of the Company.  “Confidential Information” will be interpreted as broadly as possible to include all information of any sort (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form) that is (1) related to Company’s or any Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s current or potential business and (2) is not generally or publicly known. 
b.Competing Activity.  During the Participant’s employment with the Company or for one (1) year following the later of (i) termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever or (ii) the last scheduled vesting date of this award, the Participant shall not compete, directly or indirectly, in any manner or capacity, with the Company. Competing activity shall include any business engaged (whether directly or indirectly) in the design, manufacture, marketing, or sale of products or services competitive with those designed, manufactured, marketed, or sold by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.
c.Non-Solicitation of Employees.  During the Participant’s employment with the Company or for two (2) years following the later of (i) termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever or (ii) the last scheduled Vesting Date of this award, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage any person who was an employee of the Company or  any Subsidiary or Affiliate during Participant’s employment, to leave employment with the Company or in any way interfere adversely with the relationship between any such employee and the Company.
d.Non-Solicitation of Customers or Vendors.  During the Participant’s employment with the Company or for two (2) years following the later of (i) termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever or (ii) the last scheduled Vesting Date of this award, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or divert the business of the Company’s customers or vendors who were customers or vendors to the Company during Participant’s employment or in any way interfere adversely with the business relationship between any such customer or vendor and the Company.
e.Partial Invalidity.  If any portion of this Section 5 is determined to be unenforceable in any respect, it shall be interpreted to be valid to the maximum extent for which it reasonably may be enforced.  The Participant acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulate that this Award Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.
f.Remedy for Breach.  The Participant agrees that a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants would cause material and irreparable harm to the Company that would be difficult or impossible to measure, and that monetary damages for any such harm would, therefore, be an inadequate remedy.  Accordingly, Participant agrees that if they breach any Restrictive Covenant, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to and without limitation upon all other remedies the Company may have under this Award Agreement, at law or otherwise, to obtain injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief.
g.Clawback.  The Participant acknowledges that the award is subject to the Company’s clawback policy, as in effect from time to time.  The Committee may, in accordance with the 
									
		6
	










Plan and any applicable clawback policy and in its sole discretion, provide for cancellation of any or all of the Participant’s outstanding awards or forfeiture by the Participant of any gain realized in respect of awards, and repayment of any such gain promptly to the Company.
6.Non-Transferability.  This Agreement or the rights hereunder may not be transferred.
7.No Dividends.  Participant shall not be entitled to receive dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the number of unvested Ordinary Shares covered by the PRSUs.
8.No Security Holder Rights.  Participant shall have no rights as a security holder with respect to the unvested Ordinary Shares covered by the PRSUs.  
9.Taxes.  Participant acknowledges that the Company has the right to require Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy his or her minimum federal, state, local and foreign withholding tax requirements, or to deduct from all payments under the Plan amounts sufficient to satisfy such minimum withholding tax requirements.  Participant further acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company. Participant authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the Participant’s tax obligations that must be withheld by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries by withholding in Ordinary Shares to be issued upon vesting of the PRSUs, or in the sole discretion of the Company, by any other appropriate method. 
With respect to a Retirement Eligible Individual, the Company may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting and settlement of a portion of the Units to the extent necessary to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2) of the Code and to pay the income tax at source on wages imposed under Section 3401 of the Code or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA tax, and to pay the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding section 3401 wages and taxes; provided that the total payment under this acceleration provision cannot exceed the aggregate of the FICA tax amount, and the income tax withholding related to such FICA amount (as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi); and provided further that any Units vested and settled in accordance with this Section will reduce, share-for-share, that portion of the Award that would vest on the immediately following Vesting Date. Participant authorizes the Company and/or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the Participant’s tax obligations that must be withheld by the Company and/or any Subsidiary or Affiliate by withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Units, or in the sole discretion of the Company, by any other appropriate method. The Company shall delay the issuance of any Shares upon any Vesting Date to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (relating to payments made to “specified employees” as a result of their separation from service) to the date that is six months and one day following the date of the Participant’s separation from service (or shorter period ending on the date of the Participant’s death following such separation).
10.Data Protection.  Participant consents to the collection and processing of Personal data relating to the Participant so that the Company and its Affiliates can fulfill their obligations and exercise their rights under the Plan and generally administer and manage the Plan.  “Personal data” shall include but may not be limited to, data about participation in the Plan and securities offered or received, purchased or sold under the Plan from time to time and other appropriate financial and other data (such as the date on which the PRSUs were granted, Participant’s name and address) about the Participant and his or her participation in the Plan.  Participant accepts that the Personal data will be administered and processed by the Company or any other agent or person designated by the Company.  Participant is entitled to request access to the data referring to the Participant and held by the Company and to request the amendment or deletion of such data.  Participant also gives express consent to the Company to transfer and process his/her Personal data to the United States in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of the United States even if the level of Personal data protection in the United States may be lower than in the Participant’s country. Participant acknowledges that he/she is free to withdraw his/her consent at any time. 
									
		7
	










For the purposes of compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Participant acknowledges that the Company will separately provide information on the collection, processing, and transfer of Personal Data.
11.Language.  Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are provided in English only and waives his/her right to translated Plan documentation.
12.Discretionary Nature of Benefit; No Right to Continued Employment; No Entitlement to Future Awards. Participant understands that under this Agreement, grants of PRSUs are made at the complete discretion of the Company pursuant to the Plan.  The offer to participate in the Plan does not constitute an acquired right.  Nothing in this Agreement shall confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company or its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate such Participant’s employment at any time for any reason or to continue such Participant’s present (or any other) rate of compensation. The grant of the PRSUs under any award to any Participant is a one-time benefit and shall not create any rights in such Participant to any subsequent awards by the Company, no award hereunder shall be considered a condition of such Participant’s employment, and no profit with respect to an award shall be considered part of such Participant’s salary or compensation under any severance statute or other applicable law.


This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by means of electronically signed or submitted signature pages), all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Annex B


Calculation of Adjusted Earnings Per Share


Adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”) is a non-GAAP financial measure1 reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as in each of its quarterly earnings releases and earnings presentations.2


The Company defines Adjusted EPS as adjusted net income (“ANI”) divided by the dilutive weighted-average Shares outstanding.


ANI is also a non-GAAP financial measure, and the Company defines ANI as net income (or loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude the following items:  (i) Restructuring related and other3, (ii) Financing and other transaction costs4, (iii) Step-up depreciation and amortization5, (iv) Deferred loss/(gain), net on derivative instruments6, (v) Amortization of debt issuance costs7, and (vi) Deferred taxes and other tax related8.


Dilutive weighted-average Shares is a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP9. 



1     Refers to a financial measure calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
2     Each of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, quarterly earnings releases, and quarterly earnings presentations can be found in the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website, www.investors.sensata.com.  Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our quarterly earnings releases can also be obtained from the SEC website, www.sec.gov.  
3     Includes, for example, (i) amounts calculated in accordance with GAAP and presented in the ‘Restructuring and other charges, net’ line of the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, (ii) amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations that relate to contingent liabilities assumed in connection with a business combination, and (iii) other income, expenses, gains, and losses that relate to planned strategic actions or material transactions that management believes are either unique or unusual, or that impact the comparability of the Company’s operating results relative to prior period operating results or forecasted results.
4     Includes, for example, (i) the net loss (or gain) on debt financing, (ii) losses (or gains) related to the divestiture of a business, and (iii) transaction costs recognized in connection with a business combination transaction, each of which is calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
5     Refers to depreciation and amortization expense related to the step-up (or step-down) in value of tangible and intangible assets that are recognized in connection with business combination and asset acquisition transactions (i.e., as those terms are defined in GAAP).
6     Primarily includes the net loss (or gain) on commodity forward contracts, as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
7     As calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
8     Refers to (i) the deferred provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, (ii) adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits that are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, and (iii) withholding tax expense associated with the repatriation of the cash.
9     However, and for the avoidance of doubt, if in a particular period the Company reports a net loss, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, certain adjustments are made to account for the dilutive and anti-dilutive effects of potentially outstanding equity securities.

Annex C


Calculation of ROIC


ROIC = NOPAT divided by Total Invested Capital 
NOPAT = adjusted EBIT minus adjusted taxes
Total Invested Capital = Average Trailing 5 Quarters of (Shareholder Equity + Total Long-Term Debt + Deferred Taxes) plus (Long-Term Capital Leases & Other Obligations)
