WHEREAS, the Company is a Participating Employer in the GBT JerseyCo Limited 2021 Executive Long-Term Cash Incentive Award Plan (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Plan”).
WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to make the award (the “Award”) described in this Agreement (including Schedule A attached hereto, this “Agreement”), which Award will vest at the time or times set forth in Section 3, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.Award. The grant date of the Award hereby granted is September 1, 2021. The amount that may be paid to the Participant in respect of the Award, and the determination of the amount so payable, is set forth in Schedule A attached hereto.
2.Performance Period and Measures. The Performance Period and the Performance Measures shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion before September 1, 2024 and separately communicated to the Participant.
3.Vesting. One-sixth of the Award will become vested on each of the first three anniversaries of September 1, 2021 (each, a “Vesting Date”) and the remaining one-half of the Award (the “Performance-Based Portion”) is eligible to become vested on the final Vesting Date based on the achievement of the Performance Measures as determined by the Committee, in each case, subject to the Participant’s continued Employment through the applicable Vesting Date. In the event that the Participant incurs a termination of Employment for any reason prior to a Vesting Date, regardless of whether such termination is initiated by the Participant, by the Company, by GBT (as defined below) or by any subsidiary of GBT, the portion of the Award that is unvested as of the date of such termination shall immediately terminate with no compensation or other payment due to the Participant or any other Person and the then unvested portion of the Award shall thereafter cease to be outstanding and shall no longer be eligible to be earned.

4.Settlement. The portion of the Award that has become vested in accordance with Section 3 above shall be paid to the Participant no later than the date that is two and one half months after the Vesting Date on which such portion became vested. Except as provided in Section 5, all payments with respect to the Award will be made in cash and shall be reduced by all applicable deductions and tax withholdings.
5.Conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement, the Plan, Schedule A or any other document to the contrary, prior to the settlement of the Performance-Based Portion, the Company may, in its sole discretion and without Participant's consent, convert the Performance-Based Portion into a number of restricted stock units or performance stock units (collectively, "RSUs") that vest and are forfeited on the same terms and conditions as the Performance-Based Portion and that are settled at the same time as the Performance-Based Portion (except that settlement would be one share of common stock or similar equity security of the Company or of a parent entity of the Company for each RSU that becomes vested), with the number of RSUs into which the Performance-Based Portion is converted to equal 50% of the Award Amount specified on Schedule A attached hereto, divided by the closing price on the date of conversion of one share of the common stock or other security to which such RSU relates. If the achievement of the Performance Measures results in a positive or negative adjustment to the portion of the Award Amount that corresponded to the Performance-Based Portion, then the number of shares or other securities issued in satisfaction of the RSUs shall be adjusted accordingly (for example, if there is a positive adjustment of 20% based on performance, then the number of shares or other securities issued in settlement of the vested RSUs shall be increased by 20%, and if there is a negative adjustment of 10% based on performance, then the number of shares or other securities issued in settlement of the vested RSUs shall be decreased by 10%). The Participant agrees that if the Participant received an award under the GBT JerseyCo Limited 2020 Executive Long Term Cash Incentive Award Plan (the "2020 Plan"), then the Participant hereby consents to the Company, if it so determines in its sole discretion, making a corresponding conversion to 50% of the Participant's award under the 2020 Plan. The Participant will be notified within a reasonable period of time after any such conversion described in this Section 5 and agrees to sign a restricted stock unit or performance stock unit award agreement evidencing the RSUs received by the Participant in any such conversion (which shall address how required withholding taxes will be satisfied with respect to RSUs). For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts shall be paid with respect to any portion of the Performance-Based Portion or any portion of an award granted under the 2020 Plan, in each case, that is so converted, except for the shares issued in settlement of the RSUs resulting from such conversion. No conversion described in this Section 5 may occur until there is an effective Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the securities underlying the RSUs.
6.Incorporation of Plan. All terms, conditions and restrictions of the Plan are incorporated herein and made part hereof as if stated herein. If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan, as interpreted by the Committee, shall govern (except that Section 5 of this Agreement shall supersede any conflicting provision of the Plan and the 2020 Plan). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan.

other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation.

The Participant agrees that any breach of any covenant under this Section 7 will result in irreparable damage and injury to GBT, its subsidiaries and/or the other Persons referenced in Section 7(f) and that, in addition to monetary damages or any other relief to which they may be entitled, they will be entitled to equitable and other injunctive relief to prevent any such breach or threatened breach in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of posting any bond (in addition to any other legal remedies they may have). GBT, each subsidiary of GBT and each other Person referenced in Section 7(f) is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 7 and may enforce its terms as if they were a party hereto.

8.Construction of Agreement/Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions, subdivisions, words, clauses, phrases or sentences contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision, subdivision, word, clause, phrase or sentence in every other respect and of the remaining provisions, subdivisions, words, clauses, phrases or sentences hereof shall not in any way be impaired, it being intended that all rights, powers and privileges of the Company and of the Participant shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that if any restrictive covenant

contained herein is determined to be too broad in duration, scope or in any other respect, it shall be reformed to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to a subsidiary or subsidiaries of a Person shall be deemed to refer to the direct and indirect subsidiaries of such Person.
9.Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto upon any breach or default of any party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any modification, waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provision or condition of this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
10.Integration. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those expressly set forth herein or in the Plan. This Agreement and the Plan supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement are independent of any other restrictive covenants to which the Participant is subject in favor of GBT, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, and this Agreement shall not supersede (or be superseded by) any such other restrictive covenants to which the Participant is subject in favor of GBT, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates.
11.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
12.Governing Law; Venue; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(j), this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the domestic substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to the provisions governing choice or conflict of laws or rules that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. The parties agree that any dispute relating to this Agreement, the Award or the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with Sections 5.7 and 5.8 of the Plan (including, without limitation, the venue specified therein and the WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL provision thereof).
13.Effect on Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right with respect to the continuation of the Participant's Employment or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, subject to the terms of any separate Employment Agreement with the Participant to the contrary, at any time to terminate such Employment or to decrease the compensation of the Participant.
