EXHIBIT 10.32

 

CIT Group Inc.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

Performance Share Unit Award Agreement

Effective as of the “Date of
Award” (as such term is defined in the “Award Summary” that was delivered to the Participant by the
Company), this Award Agreement sets forth the grant of performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“Performance Share Units”
or “PSUs”) by CIT Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the Participant
named in the Award Summary, pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated CIT Group Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”). This Award Agreement memorializes the terms and conditions as approved by the Compensation Committee
of the Board (the “Committee”). All capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan,
unless specifically set forth otherwise herein.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

		(A)	Grant of Performance Share Units.
The Company hereby grants to the Participant the “Target Number of PSUs” as set forth in the Award Summary,
effective as of the Date of Award and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. Each PSU represents
the unsecured right to receive a number of Shares, if any, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement.
The Participant shall not be required to pay any additional consideration for the issuance of the Shares, if any, upon settlement
of the PSUs.

		(B)	Vesting and Settlement of PSUs.

		(1)	Except as otherwise provided in Section (C)
or (D) below, the final number of Shares actually awarded to the Participant with respect to the Target Number of PSUs granted,
if any, (the “Awarded Shares”) shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of the “Performance
Measures” (each as defined and set forth in Exhibit A) that have been achieved during the “Performance
Period” (as defined and set forth in Exhibit A).

		(2)	Except as otherwise provided in Section (C)
or (D) below, subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company and/or its Affiliates (the “Company
Group”) from the Date of Award until the last day of the Performance Period (the “Final Performance Date”)
and compliance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, as soon as administratively practicable
following the Final Performance Date but subject to Section (B)(3) below, the Committee shall certify the level of Performance
Measures attained (the “Determination Date”). The Participant’s Awarded Shares, if any, shall be determined
as of the Determination Date in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A.

		(3)	Except as otherwise provided in Section (C)(1)
or (D) below, the Awarded Shares, if any, shall be delivered to the Participant within thirty (30) days following the Determination
Date, but in no event later than March 15, 2016 (the “Settlement Date”).

		(4)	The Awarded Shares delivered to the Participant
on the Settlement Date (or such other date Awarded Shares are settled in accordance with Section (C)(1) or (D) below, if applicable)
shall not be subject to transfer restrictions and shall be fully paid, non-assessable and registered in the Participant’s
name.

		(5)	If, after the Date of Award and prior to the
Determination Date (or such other date Awarded Shares are settled in accordance with Section (C)(1) or (D) below, if applicable)
(the “Dividend Equivalent Period”), dividends with respect to the Awarded Shares are declared or paid by the
Company, the Participant shall be credited with, and entitled to receive, dividend equivalents in an amount, without interest,
equal to the cumulative dividends declared or paid on a Share, if any, during the Dividend Equivalent Period, multiplied by the
number of Awarded Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, dividend equivalents paid in cash shall not be reinvested
in Shares and shall remain uninvested. The dividend equivalents credited in respect of the Awarded Shares shall be paid in cash
or Shares, as applicable, on the Settlement Date (or such other date Awarded Shares are settled in accordance with Section (C)(1)
or (D) below, if applicable).

		(6)	In the sole discretion of the Committee and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, in lieu of the delivery of the Awarded Shares, the
PSUs and any dividend equivalents payable in Shares, may be settled through a payment in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of
the applicable number of the Awarded Shares, determined on (i) the Determination Date; (ii) the Final Performance Date if settlement
is in accordance with Section (D)(1), (D)(2) or (D)(3) below; or (iii) in the case of settlement in accordance with Section (C)(1),
(D)(4) or (D)(5) below, the date of the Participant’s “Separation from Service” (within the meaning of
the Committee’s established methodology for determining “Separation from Service” for purposes of Section
409A (as defined below)) or the date of Disability, as applicable. Settlement under this Section (B)(6) shall be made at the time
specified under Section (B)(3), (B)(5), (C)(1), (C)(2) or (D), as applicable.

    	 

    	 

    

		(C)	Separation from Service.

		(1)	Notwithstanding Section (B) above, if, after
the Date of Award and prior to the Final Performance Date, the Participant incurs a Disability (as defined below) or a Separation
from Service from the Company Group due to death, the PSUs shall vest immediately and the final number of Awarded Shares awarded
to the Participant shall equal the Target Number of PSUs (the “Target Awarded Shares”) and the Participant (or
the Participant’s beneficiary or legal representative, if applicable) shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based
on the Company’s achievement of actual Performance Measures in accordance with Exhibit A. If this Section (C)(1) is
applicable, then all references to “Awarded Shares” in Sections (B) and (L) shall mean Target Awarded Shares instead.
The Target Awarded Shares shall be paid to the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary or legal representative, if
applicable) within thirty (30) days following the Participant’s Disability or Separation from Service due to death. The Participant
(or the Participant’s beneficiary or legal representative, if applicable) shall also be entitled to receive all credited
and unpaid dividend equivalents with respect to the Target Awarded Shares and such dividend equivalents shall be payable at the
same time such Target Awarded Shares are paid in accordance with this Section (C)(1). “Disability” shall have
the same meaning as defined in the Company’s applicable long-term disability plan or policy last in effect prior to the first
date the Participant suffers from such Disability; provided, however, to the extent a “Disability” event
does not also constitute a “Disability” as defined in Section 409A, such Disability event shall not constitute a Disability
for purposes of this Section (C)(1).

		(2)	Notwithstanding Section (B) above and subject
to Section (D) below, if, prior to the Final Performance Date, the Participant incurs a Separation from Service due to the Participant’s
Retirement (as defined below) or initiated by the Company and not involving circumstances that would otherwise constitute a Non-RIF
Termination (as defined below), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, including Section
(L) below, on the date of such Separation from Service, the Participant’s Target Number of PSUs shall be pro-rated by multiplying
the Target Number of PSUs by a fraction, (i) the numerator as the number of full and partial months that have transpired between
the first day of the Performance Period and the date of such Separation from Service, rounded up to a whole number, and (ii) the
denominator as 36 (the “Pro-Rata Target Number of PSUs”). Calculation and payment of the Awarded Shares, if
any, payable to the Participant based on the Pro-Rata Target Number of PSUs (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents)
shall be made in accordance with Section (B) above and Exhibit A, except the Participant shall no longer be required to
be continually employed with the Company Group until the Final Performance Date as provided in Section (B)(2) above.

		(3)	“Retirement” is defined
as either (i) the Participant’s election to retire upon or after attaining his or her “Normal Retirement Age”;
or (ii) the Participant’s election to retire upon (A) completing at least a 10-year “Period of Benefit Service”
and (B) having either (1) attained age 55, or (2) incurred an “Eligible Termination” and, at the time of such
“Eligible Termination,” having attained age 54. The terms “Normal Retirement Age,” “Period
of Benefit Service” and “Eligible Termination” shall have the meaning as defined in the CIT Group
Inc. Retirement Plan, effective January 1, 2013, as amended from time to time (the “Retirement Plan”). A “Non-RIF
Termination” shall have the meaning attributed to it in the Company’s Employee Severance Plan, as amended from
time to time (the “Employee Severance Plan”). The definitions of Retirement, Normal Retirement Age, Period
of Benefit Service, Eligible Termination and Non-RIF Termination are applicable irrespective of whether the Participant is eligible
to participate in the Retirement Plan and/or the Employee Severance Plan.

		(4)	If, prior to the Final Performance Date, the
Participant’s employment with the Company Group terminates for any reason other than as set forth in this Section (C) or
Section (D) below, the unvested PSUs shall be cancelled immediately and the Participant shall immediately forfeit any rights to,
and shall not be entitled to receive any payments with respect to, the PSUs including, without limitation, dividend equivalents
pursuant to Section (B)(5).

		(D)	Change of Control. 

		(1)	Notwithstanding Section (B) above and subject to Sections (D)(2), (D)(4) and (D)(5) below, if,
during the Participant’s employment with the Company Group but prior to the Final Performance Date, a Change of Control occurs,
then for purposes of Section (B) above, the Performance Measures shall be deemed to have been satisfied at the “Target
Levels” as defined and set forth in Exhibit A and the final number of Shares awarded to the Participant, subject
to the Participant’s compliance with the terms and conditions of Section (B)(2) above (including, without limitation, the
Participant’s continued employment with the Company Group until the Final Performance Date), shall equal the Target Awarded
Shares. The Target Awarded Shares (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents) shall be delivered to the Participant following
the Final Performance Date, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event later than March 15, 2016, and
the Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based on the Company’s achievement of actual Performance Measures
in accordance with Exhibit A. If this Section (D)(1) is applicable, all references to “Awarded Shares” in Sections
(B) and (L) shall mean Target Awarded Shares instead.

		(2)	Notwithstanding Section (C)(2) and (D)(1) above, if, (i) during the Participant’s employment
with the Company Group, but prior to the Final Performance Date, a Change of Control occurs and (ii) the Participant incurs a Separation
from Service prior to the Final Performance Date that is described in Section (C)(2) above that occurs more than two years following
such Change of Control, then the final number of Awarded Shares awarded to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in Section (L) below, shall equal the Pro-Rata Target Number of PSUs attributable to

    	2

    	 

    

such Separation of Service (the “Pro-Rata
Awarded Shares”). The Pro-Rata Awarded Shares (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents) shall be delivered to
the Participant following the Final Performance Date, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event later
than March 15, 2016, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based on the Company’s achievement
of actual Performance Measures in accordance with Exhibit A. If this Section (D)(2) is applicable, all references to “Awarded
Shares” in Sections (B), (C)(2) and (L) shall mean Pro-Rata Awarded Shares instead.

		(3)	Notwithstanding Section (C)(2) above, if, following the Participant’s Separation from Service
described in Section (C)(2) above a Change of Control occurs prior to the Final Performance Date, then for purposes of Section
(C)(2) above, the Performance Measures shall be deemed to have been satisfied at Target Levels and the final number of Awarded
Shares awarded to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section (L) below, shall equal the Pro-Rata
Awarded Shares. The Pro-Rata Awarded Shares (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents) shall be delivered to the Participant
following the Final Performance Date, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event later than March 15,
2016, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based on the Company’s achievement of actual Performance
Measures in accordance with Exhibit A. If this Section (D)(3) is applicable, all references to “Awarded Shares”
in Sections (B), (C)(2) and (L) shall mean Pro-Rata Awarded Shares instead.

		(4)	Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if
(i) prior to the Final Performance Date, a Change of Control occurs and (ii) within two years following such Change of Control,
the Participant incurs a Separation from Service prior to the Final Performance Date that is (1) initiated by the Company and not
involving circumstances that would otherwise constitute a Non-RIF Termination or (2) initiated by the Participant for “Good
Reason” (as defined below), the PSUs shall vest immediately on such Separation from Service and the final number of Awarded
Shares awarded to the Participant shall be the Target Awarded Shares. The Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Shares
based on the Company’s achievement of actual Performance Measures in accordance with Exhibit A. Such Target Awarded
Shares (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents) shall be settled within thirty (30) days following such Separation from
Service, unless such accelerated vesting and settlement of PSUs (and dividend equivalents) following the Participant’s Separation
from Service is prohibited or limited by applicable law and/or regulation. “Good Reason” shall mean, without
the Participant’s consent, a material diminution of the Participant’s (x) base salary and incentive compensation opportunity
(except in the event of a compensation reduction applicable to the Participant and other employees of comparable rank and/or status)
or (y) duties and responsibilities (except a temporary reduction while the Participant is physically or mentally incapacitated
or a modification in the duties and/or responsibilities of the Participant and other employees of comparable rank and/or status
following a Control of Control), provided, that a Separation from Service for Good Reason shall not occur unless (A) the Participant
has provided the Company written notice specifying in detail the alleged condition of Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the
occurrence of such condition; (B) the Company has failed to cure such alleged condition within ninety (90) days following the Company’s
receipt of such written notice; and (C) if the Committee (or its designee) has determined that the Company has failed to cure such
alleged condition, the Participant initiates a Separation from Service within five (5) days following the end of such 90-day cure
period.

		(5)	Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if
(i) prior to the Final Performance Date, a Change of Control occurs and (ii) within two years following such Change of Control,
the Participant incurs a Separation from Service prior to the Final Performance Date that is due to the Participant’s Retirement,
then the final number of Awarded Shares awarded to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section (L)
below, shall equal the Pro-Rata Awarded Shares, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based on the
Company’s achievement of actual Performance Measures in accordance with Exhibit A. The Pro-Rata Awarded Shares (and
any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents) shall be delivered to the Participant within thirty (30) days following such Separation
from Service, unless such accelerated vesting and settlement of PSUs (and dividend equivalents) following the Participant’s
Separation from Service is prohibited or limited by applicable law and/or regulation. If this Section (D)(5) is applicable, all
references to “Awarded Shares” in Sections (B) and (L) shall mean Pro-Rata Awarded Shares instead.

 

		(6)	For Sections (B)(2) and (C)(2) above, if a Change of Control occurs on or following the Final Performance
Date but prior to the Determination Date, the Awarded Shares (or Pro-Rata Awarded Shares, if applicable), if any, as determined
under Section (B)(2) or (C)(2) above based on actual achievement of the Performance Measures in accordance with Exhibit A,
shall be delivered to the Participant following the Final Performance Date but no later than March 15,2016.

 

		(E)	Transferability. The PSUs are
not transferable other than by last will and testament, by the laws of descent and distribution pursuant to a domestic relations
order, or as otherwise permitted under Section 12 of the Plan.

		(F)	Incorporation of Plan. The Plan
includes terms and conditions governing all Awards granted thereunder and is incorporated into this Award Agreement by reference
unless specifically stated herein. This Award Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, as amended from time to time and as supplemented by this Award Agreement, and to such rules and regulations
as the Committee may adopt under the Plan. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Award Agreement and the terms
of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Award Agreement.

    	3

    	 

    

		(G)	No Entitlements.

		(1)	Neither the Plan nor the Award Agreement confers
on the Participant any right or entitlement to receive compensation, including, without limitation, any base salary or incentive
compensation, in any specific amount for any future fiscal year (including, without limitation, any grants of future Awards under
the Plan) nor impacts in any way the Company Group’s determination of the amount, if any, of the Participant’s base
salary or incentive compensation. This Award of PSUs made under this Award Agreement is completely independent of any other Awards
or grants and is made at the sole discretion of the Company. The PSUs do not constitute salary, wages, regular compensation, recurrent
compensation, pensionable compensation or contractual compensation for the year of grant or any prior or later years and shall
not be included in, nor have any effect on or be deemed earned in any respect, in connection with the determination of employment-related
rights or benefits under law or any employee benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Company Group (including, without
limitation, severance, termination of employment and pension benefits), unless otherwise specifically provided for under the terms
of such plan or arrangement or by the Company Group. The benefits provided pursuant to the PSUs are in no way secured, guaranteed
or warranted by the Company Group.

		(2)	The PSUs are awarded to the Participant by
virtue of the Participant’s employment with, and services performed for, the Company Group. The Plan or the Award Agreement
does not constitute an employment agreement. Nothing in the Plan or the Award Agreement shall modify the terms of the Participant’s
employment, including, without limitation, the Participant’s status as an “at will” employee of the Company Group,
if applicable.

		(3)	Subject to any applicable employment agreement,
the Company reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the Participant’s employment, including the division,
subsidiary or department in which the Participant is employed. None of the Plan or the Award Agreement, the grant of PSUs, nor
any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan or the Award Agreement shall be deemed to create or confer on the Participant
any right to be retained in the employ of the Company Group, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company
Group to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time. Moreover, the Separation from Service provisions set forth in
Section (C) or (D), as applicable, only apply to the treatment of the PSUs in the specified circumstances and shall not otherwise
affect the Participant’s employment relationship. By accepting this Award Agreement, the Participant waives any and all rights
to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of the Participant’s office or employment for any reason whatsoever
to the extent such rights arise or may arise from the Participant’s ceasing to have rights under, or be entitled to receive
payment in respect of, any unvested PSUs that are cancelled or forfeited as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution
in value of such rights or entitlements, including by reason of the operation of the terms of the Plan, this Award Agreement or
the provisions of any statute or law to taxation. This waiver applies whether or not such termination amounts to a wrongful discharge
or unfair dismissal.

		(H)	No Rights as a Stockholder.
The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by this Award Agreement (including voting
rights) until the date the Participant or his nominee becomes the holder of record of such Shares on the Settlement Date or as
provided in Section (C) or (D) above, if applicable.

		(I)	Securities Representation. The
grant of the PSUs and issuance of Shares upon vesting of the PSUs shall be subject to, and in compliance with, all applicable requirements
of federal, state or foreign securities law. No Shares may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such Shares would constitute
a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any
stock exchange or market system upon which the Shares may then be listed. As a condition to the settlement of the PSUs, the Company
may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any
applicable law or regulation.

The Shares are being issued to the
Participant and this Award Agreement is being made by the Company in reliance upon the following express representations and warranties
of the Participant. The Participant acknowledges, represents and warrants that:

		(1)	He or she has been advised that he or she may be an “affiliate” within the meaning
of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and in this connection the Company is relying
in part on his or her representations set forth in this section (I)(1); and

		(2)	If he or she is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, the Shares must
be held indefinitely unless an exemption from any applicable resale restrictions is available or the Company files an additional
registration statement (or a “re-offer prospectus”) with regard to such Shares and the Company is under no obligation
to register the Shares (or to file a “re-offer prospectus”).

		(3)	If he or she is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, he or she understands
that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available unless (i) a public trading market then exists for the
Shares of the Company, (ii) adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and (iii) other terms
and conditions of Rule 144 or any exemption therefrom are complied with; and that any sale of the Shares may be made only in limited
amounts in accordance with such terms and conditions.

    	4

    	 

    

		(J)	Notices. Any notice or communication
given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person or mailed by certified
mail, postage and fees prepaid, or internationally recognized express mail service, as follows:

		(K)	Transfer of Personal Data.
In order to facilitate the administration of this Award, it will be necessary for the Company Group to collect, hold, and process
certain personal information about the Participant. As a condition of accepting this Award, the Participant authorizes, agrees
and unambiguously consents to the Company Group collecting, using, disclosing, holding and processing personal data and transferring
such data to third parties (collectively, the “Data Recipients”) for the primary purpose of the Participant’s
participation in, and the general administration of, the Plan and to the transmission by the Company Group of any personal data
information related to the PSUs awarded under this Award Agreement, as required in connection with the Participant’s participation
in the Plan (including, without limitation, the administration of the Plan) out of the Participant’s home country and including
to countries with less data protection than the data protection provided by the Participant’s home country. This authorization
and consent is freely given by the Participant. The Participant acknowledges that he/she has been informed that upon request, the
Company will provide the name or title and contact information for an officer or employee of the Company Group who is able to answer
questions about the collection, use and disclosure of personal data information.

		(1)	The Data Recipients will treat the Participant’s personal data as private and confidential
and will not disclose such data for purposes other than the management and administration of this Award and will take reasonable
measures to keep the Participant’s personal data private, confidential, accurate and current.

 

		(2)	Where the transfer is to a destination outside the country to which the Participant is employed,
the Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Participant’s personal data continues to be adequately protected
and securely held. By accepting this Award, the Participant acknowledges that personal information about the Participant may be
transferred to a country that does not offer the same level of data protection as the country in which the Participant is employed.

 

		(L)	Cancellation; Recoupment; Related Matters.

		(1)	In the event of a material restatement of
the Company’s financial statements with respect to any fiscal year during the Performance Period, the Committee (or its designee)
shall review those facts and circumstances underlying the restatement that the Committee (or its designee) determines in its sole
discretion as relevant (which may include, without limitation, the Participant’s status and responsibility within the organization,
any potential wrongdoing by the Participant and whether the restatement was the result of negligence, intentional or gross misconduct
or other conduct, including any acts or failures to act, detrimental to the Company insofar as it caused material financial or
reputational harm to the Company or its business activities), and the Committee (or its designee), in its sole discretion, may
direct the Company to (i) cancel any then unvested PSUs prior to the Determination Date (and the Participant shall forfeit any
rights to such unvested and canceled PSUs) and / or (ii) cancel the delivery of any Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid
dividend equivalents with respect to such Awarded Shares to the Participant (and the Participant shall forfeit any rights to such
Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents).

in its sole discretion, determines that this grant of PSUs was based, in whole or in part, on materially inaccurate financial or
performance metrics for any period preceding the granting of this Award, whether or not a financial restatement is required and
whether or not the Participant was responsible for the inaccuracy, then the Committee (or its designee), in its sole discretion,
may direct the Company (i) to cancel any then unvested PSUs prior to the Determination Date, and the Participant shall forfeit
any rights to such unvested and cancelled PSUs, and/or (ii) cancel the delivery of any Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid
dividend equivalents with respect to such Awarded Shares to the Participant (and the Participant shall forfeit any rights to such
Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents).

		(3)	In the event that the Committee (or its designee),
in its sole discretion, determines at any time that the Participant has failed to comply with the Company’s risk policies
or standards and/or failed to properly identify, raise or assess, in a timely manner and as reasonably expected, risks and / or
concerns with respect to risks material to the Company or its business activities, then the Committee (or its designee), in its
sole discretion, may direct the Company (i) to cancel any then unvested PSUs prior to the Determination Date, and the Participant
shall forfeit any rights to such unvested and cancelled PSUs, and/or (ii) cancel the delivery of any Awarded Shares and any credited

		(4)	In the event that the Committee (or its designee),
in its sole discretion, determines at any time that the Participant has breached (i) any provisions relating to non-competition,
non-solicitation, confidential information or inventions or proprietary property in any employment agreement or other agreement

in its sole discretion, determines that the Participant has engaged in “Detrimental Conduct” (as defined below) or
violated any of the Company Policies (as defined below) during the Participant’s employment, including if such determination
is made following the Participant’s termination of employment; then the Committee (or its designee), in its sole discretion,

may direct the Company, at anytime from the Settlement Date (or such other date Awarded Shares are settled in accordance with Section
(C)(1) or (D) above, if applicable) until the second anniversary of the Final Performance Date, to require the Participant to repay
the Company immediately upon written demand by the Company any amount that does not exceed (1) the total Fair Market Value of such
Shares (as of the Settlement Date (or such other date Awarded Shares are settled in accordance with Section (C)(1) or (D) above,

		(7)	Notwithstanding anything contained in the
Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Company is required by law to include any additional recoupment,
recovery or forfeiture provisions to outstanding Awards, then such additional provisions shall also apply to this Award Agreement
as if they had been included as of the Date of Award and in the manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

		(8)	The remedies provided for in this Award Agreement
shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the enforcement by the Company of its rights
hereunder shall not in any manner impair, restrict or limit the right of the Company to seek injunctive and other equitable or
legal relief under applicable law or the terms of any other agreement between the Company and the Participant.

		(M)	Miscellaneous.

		(1)	It is expressly understood that the Committee
is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and

therewith. In no event whatsoever shall the Company Group be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed
on the Participant by Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. If any provision of the Plan or the
Award Agreement would, in the sole discretion of the Committee, result or likely result in the imposition on the Participant, a
beneficiary or any other person of additional taxes or a penalty tax under Section 409A, the Committee may modify the terms of
the Plan or the Award Agreement, without the consent of the Participant, beneficiary or such other person, in the manner that the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine to be necessary or advisable to avoid the imposition of such penalty tax. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Award Agreement, to the extent that the Participant is a “Specified Employee”
(within the meaning of the Committee’s established methodology for determining “Specified Employees” for
purposes of Section 409A), payment or distribution of any amounts with respect to the PSUs that are subject to Section 409A will

FICA obligation, National Insurance Contributions or Canada Pension Plan contributions, as applicable), provided that any Participant
that is subject to tax regulation in the United Kingdom or Ireland shall also be subject to the provisions of Exhibit C
attached hereto, if applicable. The Company shall have the power and the right to (i) deduct or withhold from all amounts payable
to the Participant pursuant to the PSUs or otherwise, or (ii) require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient
to satisfy any applicable taxes required by law. The Company may permit or require the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part,
the tax obligations by withholding Shares that would otherwise be received upon settlement of the PSUs. 

		(5)	The Company may at any time place legends
referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing Shares issued
pursuant to this Award Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and
all certificates representing Shares acquired pursuant to this Award Agreement in the possession of the Participant.

applicable laws, rules, guidelines and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges
as may be required, or the Committee determines are advisable, including but not limited to any applicable laws or the rules, codes,
or guidelines of any statutory or regulatory body in any jurisdiction relating to the remuneration of any Participant (in each
case as may be in force from time to time). The Participant agrees to take all steps the Company determines are necessary to comply
with all applicable provisions of federal, state and foreign securities law in exercising his or her rights under this Award Agreement.

		(7)	Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement should
be construed as providing the Participant with financial, tax, legal or other advice with respect to the PSUs. The Company recommends
that the Participant consult with his or her financial, tax, legal and other advisors to provide advice in connection with the
PSUs.

		(8)	All obligations of the Company under the Plan
and this Award Agreement, with respect to the Awards, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of
such successor is the result of a direct or indirect

    	7

    	 

    

purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

		(9)	To the extent not preempted by federal law,
this Award Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

		(10)	This Award Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one contract.

		(11)	The Participant agrees that the Company may,
to the extent permitted by applicable law and as provided for in Section 17(g) of the Plan, retain for itself securities or funds
otherwise payable to the Participant pursuant to this Award Agreement, or any other Award Agreement under the Plan, to satisfy
any obligation or debt that the Participant owes the Company or its affiliates under any Award Agreement, the Plan or otherwise;
provided that the Company may not retain such funds or securities and set off such obligations or liabilities until such time as
they would otherwise be distributable to the Participant, and to the extent that Section 409A is applicable, such offset shall
not exceed the maximum offset then permitted under Section 409A.

		(12)	The Participant acknowledges that if he or
she moves to another country during the term of this Award Agreement, additional terms and conditions may apply and as provided
for in Section 17(f) of the Plan and the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements to the extent the Company determines
it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Award Agreement. The Participant
agrees to sign any additional agreements or undertaking that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

		(13)	The Participant acknowledges that he or she
has reviewed the Company Policies, understands the Company Policies and agrees to be subject to the Company Policies that are applicable
to the Participant, including, without limitation, the Regulatory Credit Classifications and any credit risk policies in effect
from time to time.

		(14)	The Participant acknowledges that the Company
is subject to certain regulatory restrictions that may, under certain circumstances, prohibit the accelerated vesting and distribution

		(17)	Any cash payment made pursuant to Section
(B)(5) or (B)(6) of this Award Agreement shall be calculated, where necessary, by reference to the prevailing U.S. dollar exchange
rate on the proposed payment date (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion).

		(N)	Acceptance of Award. By accepting
this Award of Performance Share Units, the Participant is agreeing to all of the terms contained in this Award Agreement, including
the terms and conditions with respect to the vesting of the PSUs attached hereto as Exhibit A and the non-solicitation provision

(“OID”) on debt extinguishment related to the Goldman Sachs International (“GSI”) facility. For purposes
of calculating Average Net Finance Margin: (i) “Net Finance Revenue” is a non-GAAP measurement and reflects
“Net Interest Revenue” plus rental income on operating leases less depreciation on operating lease equipment,
which is a direct cost of equipment ownership; (ii) “Average Earnings Assets” is a non-GAAP measurement
and is computed using month end balances and is the average of Finance Receivables, operating lease equipment, and financing and
leasing assets held for sale, less the credit balances of factoring clients; and (iii) “Net Interest Revenue”
reflects interest and fees on loans and interest/dividends on investments less interest expense on deposits and long term borrowings.

		(3)	“Finance Receivables” shall have such meaning as set forth in the Company’s
Form 10-K, and as amended from time to time.

 

		(4)	“Multiple” shall be the number expressed in the Performance Measure Factor Grid.

A.

 

		(7)	“Performance Period” means the period from January 1, 2013 through December

		(B)	In General. The total number of Shares deliverable to the Participant shall be equal
to (i) the Target Number of PSUs (or Pro-Rata Target Number of PSUs, if applicable) multiplied by the applicable Multiple based

Measure Factor Grid; (ii) the Target Awarded Shares in accordance with Section (C)(1) or (D)(4) of the Agreement, if applicable
or (iii) the Pro-Rata Awarded Shares in accordance with Section (D)(2), (D)(3) or (D)(5) of the Agreement, if applicable.

 

		(C)	Performance Measure Factor Grid:

	$[Ÿ]	1.50x	.00x	.88x	1.00x	1.13x	1.25x	1.38x	1.50x

 

 

		(1)	If the levels of Performance Measures attained falls between the amounts shown above, the applicable
Multiple will be determined by interpolation between the respective amounts shown above.

 

		(2)	Each of the Performance Measures is weighted 50% to determine the applicable Multiple in the Performance
Measure Factor Grid.

Performance Share Unit Award Agreement

Effective as of the “Date of
Award” (as such term is defined in the “Award Summary” that was delivered to the Participant by the
Company), this Award Agreement sets forth the grant of performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“Performance Share Units”
or “PSUs”) by CIT Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the Participant
named in the Award Summary, pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated CIT Group Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”). This Award Agreement memorializes the terms and conditions as approved by the Compensation Committee
of the Board (the “Committee”). All capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan,
unless specifically set forth otherwise herein.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

		(A)	Grant of Performance Share Units.
The Company hereby grants to the Participant the “Target Number of PSUs” as set forth in the Award Summary,
effective as of the Date of Award and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. Each PSU represents
the unsecured right to receive a number of Shares, if any, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement.
The Participant shall not be required to pay any additional consideration for the issuance of the Shares, if any, upon settlement
of the PSUs.

		(B)	Vesting and Settlement of PSUs.

		(1)	Except as otherwise provided in Section (C)
or (D) below, the final number of Shares actually awarded to the Participant with respect to the Target Number of PSUs granted,
if any, (the “Awarded Shares”) shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of the “Performance
Measures” (each as defined and set forth in Exhibit A) that have been achieved during the “Performance
Period” (as defined and set forth in Exhibit A).

		(2)	Except as otherwise provided in Section (C)
or (D) below, subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company and/or its Affiliates (the “Company
Group”) from the Date of Award until the last day of the Performance Period (the “Final Performance Date”)
and compliance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, as soon as administratively practicable
following the Final Performance Date but subject to Section (B)(3) below, the Committee shall certify the level of Performance
Measures attained (the “Determination Date”). The Participant’s Awarded Shares, if any, shall be determined
as of the Determination Date in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A.

		(3)	Except as otherwise provided in Section (C)(1),
(C)(2) or (D) below, the Awarded Shares, if any, shall be delivered to the Participant within thirty (30) days following the Determination
Date, but in no event later than March 15, 2016 (the “Settlement Date”).

		(4)	The Awarded Shares delivered to the Participant
on the Settlement Date (or such other date Awarded Shares are settled in accordance with Section (C)(1), (C)(2) or (D) below, if
applicable) shall not be subject to transfer restrictions and shall be fully paid, non-assessable and registered in the Participant’s
name.

		(5)	If, after the Date of Award and prior to the
Determination Date (or such other date Awarded Shares are settled in accordance with Section (C)(1), (C)(2) or (D) below, if applicable)
(the “Dividend Equivalent Period”), dividends with respect to the Awarded Shares are declared or paid by the
Company, the Participant shall be credited with, and entitled to receive, dividend equivalents in an amount, without interest,
equal to the cumulative dividends declared or paid on a Share, if any, during the Dividend Equivalent Period, multiplied by the
number of Awarded Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, dividend equivalents paid in cash shall not be reinvested
in Shares and shall remain uninvested. The dividend equivalents credited in respect of the Awarded Shares shall be paid in cash
or Shares, as applicable, on the Settlement Date (or such other date Awarded Shares are settled in accordance with Section (C)(1),
(C)(2) or (D) below, if applicable).

		(6)	In the sole discretion of the Committee and

to the Participant shall equal the Target Number of PSUs (the “Target Awarded Shares”) and the Participant (or
the Participant’s beneficiary or legal representative, if applicable) shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based
on the Company’s achievement of actual Performance Measures in accordance with Exhibit A. If this Section (C)(1) is
applicable, then all references to “Awarded Shares” in Sections (B) and (L) shall mean Target Awarded Shares instead.
The Target Awarded Shares shall be paid to the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary or legal representative, if
applicable) within thirty (30) days following the Participant’s Disability or Separation from Service due to death. The Participant
(or the Participant’s beneficiary or legal representative, if applicable) shall also be entitled to receive all credited
and unpaid dividend equivalents with respect to the Target Awarded Shares and such dividend equivalents shall be payable at the
same time such Target Awarded Shares are paid in accordance with this Section (C)(1). “Disability” shall have
the same meaning as defined in the Company’s applicable long-term disability plan or policy last in effect prior to the first
date the Participant suffers from such Disability; provided, however, to the extent a “Disability” event

for purposes of this Section (C)(1).

		(2)	Notwithstanding Section (B) above and subject
to Section (D)(4) below, if prior to the Final Performance Date, the Participant incurs a Separation from Service from the Company
Group described in Section 5(a) or 5(d) of the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company, as amended on January
18, 2011 and as amended further from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”), the PSUs shall vest immediately
on such Separation from Service and the final number of Awarded Shares awarded to the Participant shall be the Target Awarded Shares
and the Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based on the Company’s achievement of actual Performance
Measures in accordance with Exhibit A. The Target Awarded Shares (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents) shall
be delivered to the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative, if applicable) following the Final Performance
Date, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event later than March 15, 2015, subject to the Participant’s
compliance with the obligations referenced in Section (L)(2) below. If this Section (C)(2) is applicable, then all references to
“Awarded Shares” in Sections (B) and (L) shall mean Target Awarded Shares instead.

		(3)	Notwithstanding Section (B) above and subject
to Section (D) below, if, prior to the Final Performance Date, the Participant incurs a Separation from Service due to the Participant’s
Retirement (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, including Section (L)
below, on the date of such Separation from Service, the Participant’s Target Number of PSUs shall be pro-rated by multiplying
the Target Number of PSUs by a fraction, (i) the numerator as the number of full and partial months that have transpired between
the first day of the Performance Period and the date of such Separation from Service, rounded up to a whole number, and (ii) the
denominator as 36 (the “Pro-Rata Target Number of PSUs”). Calculation and payment of the Awarded Shares, if
any, payable to the Participant based on the Pro-Rata Target Number of PSUs (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents)
shall be made in accordance with Section (B) above and Exhibit A, except the Participant shall no longer be required to
be continually employed with the Company Group until the Final Performance Date as provided in Section (B)(2) above.

		(4)	“Retirement” is defined
as either (i) the Participant’s election to retire upon or after attaining his or her “Normal Retirement Age”;
or (ii) the Participant’s election to retire upon (A) completing at least a 10-year “Period of Benefit Service”
and (B) having either (1) attained age 55, or (2) incurred an “Eligible Termination” and, at the time of such
“Eligible Termination,” having attained age 54. The terms “Normal Retirement Age,” “Period
of Benefit Service” and “Eligible Termination” shall have the meaning as defined in the CIT Group
Inc. Retirement Plan, effective January 1, 2013, as amended from time to time (the “Retirement Plan”). The definitions
of Retirement, Normal Retirement Age, Period of Benefit Service, Eligible Termination are applicable irrespective of whether
the Participant is eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan.

		(5)	If, prior to the Final Performance Date, the
Participant’s employment with the Company Group terminates for any reason other than as set forth in this Section (C) or
Section (D) below, the unvested PSUs shall be cancelled immediately and the Participant shall immediately forfeit any rights to,
and shall not be entitled to receive any payments with respect to, the PSUs including, without limitation, dividend equivalents
pursuant to Section (B)(5).

		(1)	Notwithstanding Section (B) above and subject to this Section (D), if, during the
                                                               Participant’s employment with the Company Group but prior to the Final Performance Date, a Change of Control occurs,
                                                               then for purposes of Section (B) above, the Performance Measures shall be deemed to have been satisfied at the
                                                               “Target Levels” as defined and set forth in Exhibit A and the final number of Shares awarded to the
                                                               Participant, subject to the Participant’s compliance with the terms and conditions of Section (B)(2) above (including,
                                                               without limitation, the Participant’s continued employment with the Company Group until the Final Performance Date),
                                                               shall equal the Target Awarded Shares. The Target Awarded Shares (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents) shall be
                                                               delivered to the Participant following the Final Performance Date, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but
                                                               in no

event later than March 15, 2016, and
the Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based on the Company’s achievement of actual Performance Measures
in accordance with Exhibit A. If this Section (D)(1) is applicable, all references to “Awarded Shares” in Sections

		(2)	Notwithstanding Section (C)(3) and (D)(1) above, if, (i) during the Participant’s employment
with the Company Group, but prior to the Final Performance Date, a Change of Control occurs and (ii) the Participant incurs a Separation
from Service due to the Participant’s Retirement prior to the Final Performance Date that occurs more than two years following
such Change of Control, then the final number of Awarded Shares awarded to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in Section (L) below, shall equal the Pro-Rata Target Number of PSUs attributable to such Separation of Service (the
“Pro-Rata Awarded Shares”). The Pro-Rata Awarded Shares (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents) shall
be delivered to the Participant following the Final Performance Date, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but
in no event later than March 15, 2016, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based on the Company’s
achievement of actual Performance Measures in accordance with Exhibit A. If this Section (D)(2) is applicable, all references
to “Awarded Shares” in Sections (B), (C)(3) and (L) shall mean Pro-Rata Awarded Shares instead.

		(3)	Notwithstanding Section (C)(3) above, if, following the Participant’s Separation from Service
due to the Participant’s Retirement, a Change of Control occurs prior to the Final Performance Date, then for purposes of
Section (C)(3) above, the Performance Measures shall be deemed to have been satisfied at Target Levels and the final number of
Awarded Shares awarded to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section (L) below, shall equal the
Pro-Rata Awarded Shares. The Pro-Rata Awarded Shares (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents) shall be delivered to the
Participant following the Final Performance Date, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event later
than March 15, 2016, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based on the Company’s achievement
of actual Performance Measures in accordance with Exhibit A. If this Section (D)(3) is applicable, all references to “Awarded
Shares” in Sections (B), (C)(3) and (L) shall mean Pro-Rata Awarded Shares instead.

		(4)	Notwithstanding Section (C)(2) above, if (i) prior to the Final Performance Date, a Change of Control
occurs and (ii) within two years following such Change of Control, the Participant incurs a Separation from Service described in
Section 5(a) or 5(d) of the Employment Agreement, the Target Awarded Shares (and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents)
payable in accordance with Section (C)(2) above shall be settled within thirty (30) days following such Separation from Service,
unless such accelerated vesting and settlement of PSUs (and dividend equivalents) following the Participant’s Separation
from Service is prohibited or limited by applicable law and/or regulation.

		(5)	Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if
(i) prior to the Final Performance Date, a Change of Control occurs and (ii) within two years following such Change of Control,
the Participant incurs a Separation from Service due to the Participant’s Retirement prior to the Final Performance Date,
then the final number of Awarded Shares awarded to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section (L)
below, shall equal the Pro-Rata Awarded Shares, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Shares based on the
Company’s achievement of actual Performance Measures in accordance with Exhibit A. The Pro-Rata Awarded Shares (and
any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents) shall be delivered to the Participant within thirty (30) days following such Separation
from Service, unless such accelerated vesting and settlement of PSUs (and dividend equivalents) following the Participant’s
Separation from Service is prohibited or limited by applicable law and/or regulation. If this Section (D)(5) is applicable, all
references to “Awarded Shares” in Sections (B) and (L) shall mean Pro-Rata Awarded Shares instead.

 

		(6)	For Sections (B)(2) and (C)(3) above, if a Change of Control occurs on or following the Final Performance
Date but prior to the Determination Date, the Awarded Shares (or Pro-Rata Awarded Shares, if applicable), if any, as determined
under Section (B)(2) or (C)(3) above based on actual achievement of the Performance Measures in accordance with Exhibit A,
shall be delivered to the Participant following the Final Performance Date but no later than March 15,2016.

 

		(E)	Transferability. The PSUs are
not transferable other than by last will and testament, by the laws of descent and distribution pursuant to a domestic relations
order, or as otherwise permitted under Section 12 of the Plan.

		(F)	Incorporation of Plan. The Plan
includes terms and conditions governing all Awards granted thereunder and is incorporated into this Award Agreement by reference
unless specifically stated herein. This Award Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, as amended from time to time and as supplemented by this Award Agreement, and to such rules and regulations
as the Committee may adopt under the Plan. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Award Agreement and the terms
of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Award Agreement.

		(G)	No Entitlements.

		(1)	Neither the Plan nor the Award Agreement confers
on the Participant any right or entitlement to receive compensation, including, without limitation, any base salary or incentive
compensation, in any specific amount for any future fiscal year (including, without limitation, any grants of future Awards under
the Plan) nor impacts in any way the

    	3

    	 

    

Company Group’s determination
of the amount, if any, of the Participant’s base salary or incentive compensation. This Award of PSUs made under this Award
Agreement is completely independent of any other Awards or grants and is made at the sole discretion of the Company. The PSUs do
not constitute salary, wages, regular compensation, recurrent compensation, pensionable compensation or contractual compensation
for the year of grant or any prior or later years and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on or be deemed earned in any
respect, in connection with the determination of employment-related rights or benefits under law or any employee benefit plan or
similar arrangement provided by the Company Group (including, without limitation, severance, termination of employment and pension
benefits), unless otherwise specifically provided for under the terms of such plan or arrangement or by the Company Group. The
benefits provided pursuant to the PSUs are in no way secured, guaranteed or warranted by the Company Group.

		(2)	The PSUs are awarded to the Participant by
virtue of the Participant’s employment with, and services performed for, the Company Group. The Plan or the Award Agreement
does not constitute an employment agreement. Nothing in the Plan or the Award Agreement shall modify the terms of the Participant’s
employment, including, without limitation, the Participant’s status as an “at will” employee of the Company Group,
if applicable.

		(3)	Subject to the Employment Agreement or any
other applicable employment agreement, the Company reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the Participant’s
employment, including the division, subsidiary or department in which the Participant is employed. None of the Plan or the Award
Agreement, the grant of PSUs, nor any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan or the Award Agreement shall be deemed
to create or confer on the Participant any right to be retained in the employ of the Company Group, or to interfere with or to
limit in any way the right of the Company Group to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time. Moreover, the Separation
from Service provisions set forth in Section (C) or (D), as applicable, only apply to the treatment of the PSUs in the specified
circumstances and shall not otherwise affect the Participant’s employment relationship. By accepting this Award Agreement,
the Participant waives any and all rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of the Participant’s
office or employment for any reason whatsoever to the extent such rights arise or may arise from the Participant’s ceasing
to have rights under, or be entitled to receive payment in respect of, any unvested PSUs that are cancelled or forfeited as a result
of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements, including by reason of the operation
of the terms of the Plan, this Award Agreement or the provisions of any statute or law to taxation. This waiver applies whether
or not such termination amounts to a wrongful discharge or unfair dismissal.

		(H)	No Rights as a Stockholder.
The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by this Award Agreement (including voting
rights) until the date the Participant or his nominee becomes the holder of record of such Shares on the Settlement Date or as
provided in Section (C) or (D) above, if applicable.

		(I)	Securities Representation. The
grant of the PSUs and issuance of Shares upon vesting of the PSUs shall be subject to, and in compliance with, all applicable requirements
of federal, state or foreign securities law. No Shares may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such Shares would constitute
a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any
stock exchange or market system upon which the Shares may then be listed. As a condition to the settlement of the PSUs, the Company
may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any
applicable law or regulation.

The Shares are being issued to the
Participant and this Award Agreement is being made by the Company in reliance upon the following express representations and warranties
of the Participant. The Participant acknowledges, represents and warrants that:

		(1)	He or she has been advised that he or she may be an “affiliate” within the meaning
of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and in this connection the Company is relying
in part on his or her representations set forth in this section (I)(1); and

		(2)	If he or she is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, the Shares must
be held indefinitely unless an exemption from any applicable resale restrictions is available or the Company files an additional
registration statement (or a “re-offer prospectus”) with regard to such Shares and the Company is under no obligation
to register the Shares (or to file a “re-offer prospectus”).

		(3)	If he or she is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, he or she understands
that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available unless (i) a public trading market then exists for the
Shares of the Company, (ii) adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and (iii) other terms
and conditions of Rule 144 or any exemption therefrom are complied with; and that any sale of the Shares may be made only in limited
amounts in accordance with such terms and conditions.

		(J)	Notices. Any notice or communication
given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person or mailed by certified
mail, postage and fees prepaid, or internationally recognized express mail service, as follows:

		(K)	Transfer of Personal Data.
In order to facilitate the administration of this Award, it will be necessary for the Company Group to collect, hold, and process
certain personal information about the Participant. As a condition of accepting this Award, the Participant authorizes, agrees
and unambiguously consents to the Company Group collecting, using, disclosing, holding and processing personal data and transferring
such data to third parties (collectively, the “Data Recipients”) for the primary purpose of the Participant’s
participation in, and the general administration of, the Plan and to the transmission by the Company Group of any personal data
information related to the PSUs awarded under this Award Agreement, as required in connection with the Participant’s participation
in the Plan (including, without limitation, the administration of the Plan) out of the Participant’s home country and including
to countries with less data protection than the data protection provided by the Participant’s home country. This authorization
and consent is freely given by the Participant. The Participant acknowledges that he/she has been informed that upon request, the
Company will provide the name or title and contact information for an officer or employee of the Company Group who is able to answer
questions about the collection, use and disclosure of personal data information.

		(1)	The Data Recipients will treat the Participant’s personal data as private and confidential
and will not disclose such data for purposes other than the management and administration of this Award and will take reasonable
measures to keep the Participant’s personal data private, confidential, accurate and current.

 

		(2)	Where the transfer is to a destination outside the country to which the Participant is employed,
the Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Participant’s personal data continues to be adequately protected
and securely held. By accepting this Award, the Participant acknowledges that personal information about the Participant may be
transferred to a country that does not offer the same level of data protection as the country in which the Participant is employed.

 

		(L)	Cancellation; Recoupment; Related Matters.

		(1)	In the event of a material restatement of
the Company’s financial statements with respect to any fiscal year during the Performance Period, the Committee (or its designee)
shall review those facts and circumstances underlying the restatement that the Committee (or its designee) determines in its sole
discretion as relevant (which may include, without limitation, the Participant’s status and responsibility within the organization,
any potential wrongdoing by the Participant and whether the restatement was the result of negligence, intentional or gross misconduct
or other conduct, including any acts or failures to act, detrimental to the Company insofar as it caused material financial or
reputational harm to the Company or its business activities), and the Committee (or its designee), in its sole discretion, may
direct the Company to (i) cancel any then unvested PSUs prior to the Determination Date (and the Participant shall forfeit any
rights to such unvested and canceled PSUs) and / or (ii) cancel the delivery of any Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid
dividend equivalents with respect to such Awarded Shares to the Participant (and the Participant shall forfeit any rights to such
Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents).

in its sole discretion, determines that this grant of PSUs was based, in whole or in part, on materially inaccurate financial or
performance metrics for any period preceding the granting of this Award, whether or not a financial restatement is required and
whether or not the Participant was responsible for the inaccuracy, then the Committee (or its designee), in its sole discretion,
may direct the Company (i) to cancel any then unvested PSUs prior to the Determination Date, and the Participant shall forfeit
any rights to such unvested and cancelled PSUs, and/or (ii) cancel the delivery of any Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid
dividend equivalents with respect to such Awarded Shares to the Participant (and the Participant shall forfeit any rights to such
Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents).

or standards and/or failed to properly identify, raise or assess, in a timely manner and as reasonably expected, risks and / or
concerns with respect to risks material to the Company or its business activities, then the Committee (or its designee), in its
sole discretion, may direct the Company (i) to cancel any then unvested PSUs prior to the Determination Date, and the Participant
shall forfeit any rights to such unvested and cancelled PSUs, and/or (ii) cancel the delivery of any Awarded Shares and any credited
and unpaid dividend equivalents with respect to such Awarded Shares to the Participant (and the Participant shall forfeit any rights
to such Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents).

		(4)	In the event that the Committee (or its designee),
in its sole discretion, determines at any time that the Participant has breached (i) any provisions relating to non-competition,
non-solicitation, confidential information or inventions or proprietary property in the Employment Agreement, any other applicable
employment agreement or other agreement in effect between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate or (ii) the provisions
of Exhibit B during the

    	5

Shares and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents with respect to such Awarded Shares to the Participant (and the Participant

in its sole discretion, determines that the Participant has engaged in “Detrimental Conduct” (as defined below) or
violated any of the Company Policies (as defined below) during the Participant’s employment, including if such determination
is made following the Participant’s termination of employment; then the Committee (or its designee), in its sole discretion,

any rights to such unvested and canceled PSUs) and / or (ii) cancel the delivery of any Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid
dividend equivalents with respect to such Awarded Shares to the Participant (and the Participant shall forfeit any rights to such
Awarded Shares and any credited and unpaid dividend equivalents). “Detrimental Conduct” shall mean: (1) any

if any, or if the Participant’s employment has terminated and the Committee discovers thereafter that the Participant’s
employment could have been terminated for “cause”; (2) the commission of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or

Company or one of its Affiliates is a member. “Company Policies” shall mean the Company policies in effect from
time to time, including, without limitation, policies with respect to the Company’s “Regulatory Credit Classifications”

		(6)	If during the two year period following the
Final Performance Date a Clawback Trigger Event (as defined below) occurs, then the Committee (or its designee), in its sole discretion,
may direct the Company, at anytime from the Settlement Date (or such other date Awarded Shares are settled in accordance with Section
(C)(1), (C)(2) or (D) above, if applicable) until the second anniversary of the Final Performance Date, to require the Participant
to repay the Company immediately upon written demand by the Company any amount that does not exceed (1) the total Fair Market Value
of such Shares (as of the Settlement Date (or such other date Awarded Shares are settled in accordance with Section (C)(1), (C)(2)
or (D) above, if applicable)) that have been previously paid to the Participant under this Agreement, plus (2) the value of any
other payments previously paid to the Participant under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any cash payments in accordance

and (z) such credit losses for such respective fiscal year equal or exceed such consolidated, pre-tax GAAP loss for such respective

the impact of (A) adjustments to or impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets, (B) changes in accounting principles during
the Performance Period, (C) FSA charges and prepayment charges related to the prepayment or early extinguishment of the Company’s
debt, (D) accelerated original issue discount (“OID”) on debt extinguishment related to the Goldman Sachs International

Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Company is required by law to include any additional recoupment,
recovery or forfeiture provisions to outstanding

    	6

    	 

    

Awards, then such additional provisions
shall also apply to this Award Agreement as if they had been included as of the Date of Award and in the manner determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion.

		(8)	The remedies provided for in this Award Agreement
shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the enforcement by the Company of its rights
hereunder shall not in any manner impair, restrict or limit the right of the Company to seek injunctive and other equitable or
legal relief under applicable law or the terms of any other agreement between the Company and the Participant.

		(M)	Miscellaneous.

		(1)	It is expressly understood that the Committee
is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and
this Award Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Participant.

		(2)	The Board may at any time, or from time to
time, terminate, amend, modify or suspend the Plan, and the Board or the Committee may amend or modify this Award Agreement at
any time; provided, however, that, except as provided herein, no termination, amendment, modification or suspension
shall materially and adversely alter or impair the rights of the Participant under this Award Agreement, without the Participant’s
written consent.

		(3)	This Award Agreement is intended to comply
with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”),
and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Award Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner intended to be in compliance
therewith. In no event whatsoever shall the Company Group be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed
on the Participant by Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. If any provision of the Plan or the
Award Agreement would, in the sole discretion of the Committee, result or likely result in the imposition on the Participant, a
beneficiary or any other person of additional taxes or a penalty tax under Section 409A, the Committee may modify the terms of
the Plan or the Award Agreement, without the consent of the Participant, beneficiary or such other person, in the manner that the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine to be necessary or advisable to avoid the imposition of such penalty tax. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Award Agreement, to the extent that the Participant is a “Specified Employee”
(within the meaning of the Committee’s established methodology for determining “Specified Employees” for
purposes of Section 409A), payment or distribution of any amounts with respect to the PSUs that are subject to Section 409A will
be made as soon as practicable following the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation
from Service from the Company Group or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. 

		(4)	Delivery of the Shares underlying the PSUs
or payment in cash (if permitted pursuant to Section (B)(6)) upon settlement is subject to the Participant satisfying all applicable
federal, state, local and foreign taxes and other statutory obligations (including, without limitation, the Participant’s
FICA obligation, National Insurance Contributions or Canada Pension Plan contributions, as applicable), provided that any Participant
that is subject to tax regulation in the United Kingdom or Ireland shall also be subject to the provisions of Exhibit C
attached hereto, if applicable. The Company shall have the power and the right to (i) deduct or withhold from all amounts payable
to the Participant pursuant to the PSUs or otherwise, or (ii) require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient
to satisfy any applicable taxes required by law. The Company may permit or require the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part,
the tax obligations by withholding Shares that would otherwise be received upon settlement of the PSUs. 

		(5)	The Company may at any time place legends
referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing Shares issued
pursuant to this Award Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and
all certificates representing Shares acquired pursuant to this Award Agreement in the possession of the Participant.

		(6)	This Award Agreement shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules, guidelines and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges
as may be required, or the Committee determines are advisable, including but not limited to any applicable laws or the rules, codes,
or guidelines of any statutory or regulatory body in any jurisdiction relating to the remuneration of any Participant (in each
case as may be in force from time to time). The Participant agrees to take all steps the Company determines are necessary to comply
with all applicable provisions of federal, state and foreign securities law in exercising his or her rights under this Award Agreement.

		(7)	Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement should
be construed as providing the Participant with financial, tax, legal or other advice with respect to the PSUs. The Company recommends
that the Participant consult with his or her financial, tax, legal and other advisors to provide advice in connection with the
PSUs.

		(8)	All obligations of the Company under the Plan
and this Award Agreement, with respect to the Awards, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of
such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all
of the business and/or assets of the Company.

		(9)	To the extent not preempted by federal law,
this Award Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

		(10)	This Award Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one contract.

		(11)	The Participant agrees that the Company may,
to the extent permitted by applicable law and as provided for in Section 17(g) of the Plan, retain for itself securities or funds
otherwise payable to the Participant pursuant to this Award Agreement, or any other Award Agreement under the Plan, to satisfy
any obligation or debt that the Participant owes the Company or its affiliates under any Award Agreement, the Plan or otherwise;
provided that the Company may not retain such funds or securities and set off such obligations or liabilities until such time as
they would otherwise be distributable to the Participant, and to the extent that Section 409A is applicable, such offset shall
not exceed the maximum offset then permitted under Section 409A.

		(12)	The Participant acknowledges that if he or
she moves to another country during the term of this Award Agreement, additional terms and conditions may apply and as provided
for in Section 17(f) of the Plan and the Company reserves the right to impose other requirements to the extent the Company determines
it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Award Agreement. The Participant
agrees to sign any additional agreements or undertaking that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

		(13)	The Participant acknowledges that he or she
has reviewed the Company Policies, understands the Company Policies and agrees to be subject to the Company Policies that are applicable
to the Participant, including, without limitation, the Regulatory Credit Classifications and any credit risk policies in effect
from time to time.

		(14)	The Participant acknowledges that the Company
is subject to certain regulatory restrictions that may, under certain circumstances, prohibit the accelerated vesting and distribution
of any unvested PSUs as a result of, or following, a Participant’s Separation from Service.

Net Finance Margin” means “Net Finance Revenue” as a percentage of “Average Earnings
Assets” excluding FSA accretion associated with voluntary pre-payments of debt and accelerated original issue discount
(“OID”) on debt extinguishment related to the Goldman Sachs International (“GSI”) facility. For purposes
of calculating Average Net Finance Margin: (i) “Net Finance Revenue” is a non-GAAP measurement and reflects
“Net Interest Revenue” plus rental income on operating leases less depreciation on operating lease equipment,
which is a direct cost of equipment ownership; (ii) “Average Earnings Assets” is a non-GAAP measurement
and is computed using month end balances and is the average of Finance Receivables, operating lease equipment, and financing and
leasing assets held for sale, less the credit balances of factoring clients; and (iii) “Net Interest Revenue”
reflects interest and fees on loans and interest/dividends on investments less interest expense on deposits and long term borrowings.

		(3)	“Finance Receivables” shall have such meaning as set forth in the Company’s
Form 10-K, and as amended from time to time.

 

		(4)	“Multiple” shall be the number expressed in the Performance Measure Factor Grid.
The highest Multiple shall be no greater than 1.5.

 

		(5)	“Performance Measure Factor Grid” means the chart in Paragraph (C) below that
provides the applicable Multiple based on the levels of the Performance Measures that have been achieved.

 

		(6)	“Performance Measures” means the performance measurements of Aggregate Committed
Lending Volume and Average Net Finance Margin used to determine the number of Awarded Shares in accordance with this Exhibit
A.

 

		(7)	“Performance Period” means the period from January 1, 2013 through December
31, 2015.

 

		(B)	In General. The total number of Shares deliverable to the Participant shall be equal
to (i) the Target Number of PSUs (or Pro-Rata Target Number of PSUs, if applicable) multiplied by the applicable Multiple based
on the specified levels of Performance Measures that have been achieved during the Performance Period as provided in the Performance
Measure Factor Grid; (ii) the Target Awarded Shares in accordance with Section (C)(1), (C)(2) or (D)(4) of the Agreement, if applicable
or (iii) the Pro-Rata Awarded Shares in accordance with Section (D)(2), (D)(3) or (D)(5) of the Agreement, if applicable.

	$[Ÿ]	1.50x	.00x	.88x	1.00x	1.13x	1.25x	1.38x	1.50x

 

 

		(1)	If the levels of Performance Measures attained falls between the amounts shown above, the applicable
Multiple will be determined by interpolation between the respective amounts shown above.
