Acceptance Date: [Acceptance Date]                    ID:      [Participant ID]





Effective [Grant Date] (the “Grant Date”), you have been granted [Number of Performance Shares Granted] Performance Shares (the “Target Performance Shares”) with respect to shares of Common Stock of Harley-Davidson, Inc. (”HDI”) under HDI’s 2020 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”).
The number of Performance Shares you earn will be based on HDI’s average achievement of performance goals for each fiscal year during the three-year performance period of fiscal years 2022-2024 (the “Performance Period”), modified by HDI’s relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance compared to a predetermined peer group, measured over the Performance Period, as described below.
Performance Goals.  The performance goals for each fiscal year in the Performance Period and their respective weightings will be approved by the Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”) of HDI’s Board of Directors during the first quarter of the applicable fiscal year and will be communicated to you following such approval.  Following the end of each fiscal year in the Performance Period, the Committee will determine the level of performance achieved by HDI with respect to the performance goals for that fiscal year, taking into account the approved weighting of each goal.  The level of performance will be expressed as a percentage of target from 0% to 200%.  Following the end of the Performance Period, the level of performance determined by the Committee for each fiscal year in the Performance Period will be averaged to yield the score applicable to the Performance Shares (the “Score”).  
TSR Modifier.  The Score will be modified by HDI’s relative TSR during the Performance Period as follows: 
•During the first year of the Performance Period, the Committee will approve a peer group of companies against which HDI’s TSR will be measured during the course of the Performance Period.  The Committee will determine in its sole and absolute discretion how to address any changes in the peer group of companies that occur during the Performance Period.
•The Committee will assign to each potential TSR ranking a TSR modifier, expressed as a percentage ranging from -15% for the lowest ranking to +15% for the highest ranking.
•Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine HDI’s TSR ranking for the Performance Period relative to the TSRs of each company in the peer group of companies for the Performance Period.
•The calculation of TSR for HDI and each company in the peer group of companies shall in each case reflect the average of the closing stock prices of the stock in question over the ten consecutive trading days preceding the beginning of the performance period and the last ten consecutive trading days of the performance period.   
•HDI’s TSR ranking will determine the actual TSR modifier percentage applicable to the Award.
•That percentage will be applied to the Score to yield a modified Score (the “Modified Score”).
 
4885-4700-5963.2






The number of Performance Shares earned will be equal to the product of the Target Performance Shares multiplied by the Modified Score, provided that the maximum number of Performance Shares earned cannot exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares. 
Any Performance Shares that are earned based on performance will be earned on the date that the Committee determines the achievement of the applicable level of performance following the Performance Period. Any Performance Shares that are not earned on such date shall be forfeited.
You may not sell, transfer or otherwise convey an interest in or pledge any of your Performance Shares.
The Performance Shares are granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Performance Shares Agreement including Exhibit A. Additional provisions regarding your Performance Shares and definitions of capitalized terms used and not defined in this Performance Shares Agreement can be found in the Plan.

Termination of Employment:
(1) If your employment with the Company is terminated prior to the third December 31 following the Grant Date for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement (based on clause (ii) of the definition of such term in the Plan, which requires the consent of the Committee, or, if such termination occurred after the first 
4






anniversary of the Grant Date, based on clause (i) of the definition of such term in the Plan), then you will forfeit any Performance Shares as of the date your employment is terminated.
(2) If you cease to be employed by the Company prior to the third December 31 following the Grant Date by reason of death, Disability or Retirement (based on clause (ii) of the definition of such term in the Plan, or, if such termination occurred after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, based on clause (i) of the definition of such term in the Plan), then you will receive a portion of the number of Performance Shares that you would have received had you not ceased to be employed by the Company, which portion will be equal to such number of Performance Shares multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Months (counting a partial Month as a full Month) from the Grant Date until the date your employment is terminated by reason of death, Disability or Retirement (based on clause (ii) of the definition of such term in the Plan, or, if such termination occurred after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, based on clause (i) of the definition of such term in the Plan), and the denominator of which is the number of Months from the Grant Date to the third December 31 following the Grant Date, and you will forfeit any remaining Performance Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Month” shall mean the period that begins on the first calendar day after the Grant Date or the applicable anniversary of the Grant Date that occurs in each calendar month, and ends on the anniversary of the Grant Date that occurs in the following calendar month.
Voting Rights and Dividends: You are not entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying your Performance Shares. You will not receive cash payments relating to any dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Shares underlying your Performance Shares at the time of the payment date of the dividend or other distribution. If, however, any dividends or distributions with respect to the Shares underlying your Performance Shares are paid in Shares rather than cash, you will be credited with additional Performance Shares equal to the number of shares that you would have received had your Performance Shares been actual Shares, and such Performance Shares will be subject to the same risk of forfeiture and other terms of this Performance Shares Agreement as are the Performance Shares with respect to which they were credited. Amounts credited to you in the form of additional Performance Shares will be settled (if vested) at the same time as the Performance Shares with respect to which they were credited. Further, at the time Performance Shares are settled, you will receive a dividend equivalent cash payment in respect of any dividends and other distributions paid in cash with respect to Shares for which the record date is on or after the Grant Date and before the settlement date which payment will be in an amount equal to the product of the number of Shares payable to you on settlement of your Performance Shares and the total amount of dividends and other distributions paid in cash with respect to a Share during such period.
Settlement: Your Performance Shares will be settled by delivery to you of Shares on a one-for-one basis, with one Share being delivered for each Performance Share that you earn. The Performance Shares will be settled (and any dividend equivalent cash payment will be paid to you) as soon as practicable following the third December 31 following the Grant Date and no later than March 15 of the third year after the year in which the Grant Date occurs. Cash will be paid in satisfaction of any fractional Performance Share settled pursuant to this paragraph.
Issuance of Share Certificates: In lieu of issuing in your name certificate(s) evidencing your Shares, HDI may cause its transfer agent or other agent to reflect on its records your ownership of such Shares.
Tax Withholding:  To the extent that your receipt of Performance Shares, the vesting of Performance Shares, your receipt of payments in respect of Performance Shares or the delivery of Shares to you in respect of Performance Shares results in a withholding obligation to the Company with respect to federal, state or local taxes, the Company has the right and authority to deduct or withhold from any compensation it would pay to you (including payments in respect of Performance Shares) an amount, and/or to treat you as having surrendered vested Performance Shares having a value, sufficient to satisfy its withholding obligations.  In its discretion, the Company may require you to deliver to the Company or to such other person as the Company may designate at the time the Company is obligated to withhold taxes that arise from such receipt or vesting, as the case may be, such amount as the Company requires to meet its withholding obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations.  
When income results from the delivery of Shares to you in respect of Performance Shares, to the extent the Company permits you to do so, you may satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by electing to have the Company accept that number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date the tax is 
5






to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that the Company must withhold in connection with the delivery of such Shares.  If you would be left with a fractional share after satisfying the withholding obligation, the fair market value of that fractional share will be applied to your general federal tax withholding.  If the Company does not allow you to elect to have the Company accept Shares, or if you want to keep all of the Shares that will be delivered, you will have to deliver to the Company or to such other person as the Company may designate funds in an amount sufficient to cover the withholding tax obligation on a date advised by the Company.  Where you may elect to deliver funds to satisfy the withholding tax obligation, your election to deliver funds must be irrevocable, in writing, and submitted to the Secretary or to such other person as the Company may designate on or before the date that the Company specifies, which will be before the date of delivery of the Shares, and if you fail to deliver such election then you will be deemed to have elected to have the Company accept Shares as described above.
Rejection/Acceptance:  You have ninety (90) days following the Grant Date to accept this Award through your Fidelity account.  If you have not accepted this Award within ninety (90) days following the Grant Date, the Performance Shares granted herein shall be automatically forfeited. If you choose to accept this Performance Shares Agreement, then you accept the terms of this Award, acknowledge these tax implications and agree and consent to all amendments to the Plan, the Harley-Davidson, Inc. 2009 Incentive Stock Plan and the Harley-Davidson, Inc. 2014 Incentive Stock Plan through the Grant Date as they apply to this Award and any prior awards to you of any kind under such plans.
