The Company hereby grants to the Grantee named on page 1 hereof (“Grantee”), subject to the restrictions and the other terms and conditions set forth in the Genuine Parts Company 2015 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and in this award certificate (this “Certificate”), the right to earn the number of restricted stock units indicated on page 1 hereof which, if and to the extent earned, will represent the right to receive an equal number of shares of the Company’s $1.00 par value Stock, subject to vesting and the other terms set forth in this Certificate (the “Units”).

2.    Vesting of Earned Units.  The number of Units earned will be based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goal.  The earned Units will vest and become non-forfeitable on the earliest to occur of the following (each, a “Vesting Date”):
		
	(a)
	as to all of the earned Units, on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to Grantee’s Continuous Service on such date;

		
	(b)
	as to a Pro Rata Amount (as defined below) of the earned Units, on the termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service by reason of Grantee’s Early Retirement (as defined below) after December 31, 2018 (and the remainder of the Units shall be forfeited);

		
	(c)
	as to all of the earned Units, on the termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service by reason of Grantee’s Retirement (as defined below) after December 31, 2018;

		
	(d)
	as to all of the earned Units, on the termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service by reason of Grantee’s death or Disability;

		
	(e)
	as to all of the earned Units, on the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless the Units are assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the Change in Control; or

		
	(f)
	as to all of the earned Units, if the Units are assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, on the termination of Grantee’s employment by the Company without Cause or Grantee resigns for Good Reason (as defined below) within two years after the effective date of the Change in Control.

If, prior to December 31, 2018, a Vesting Date occurs as a result of (i) the termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service by reason of Grantee’s death or Disability pursuant to Section 2(d) above, or (ii) a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2(e) above, then Grantee shall be deemed to have earned and shall vest in 100% of the Units.
  
If Grantee’s employment terminates prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than as described in (b), (c), (d) or (f) above, Grantee shall forfeit all right, title and interest in and to the then unvested Units as of the date of such termination and the unvested Units will be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by Grantee.

3.    Conversion to Stock.  Unless the Units are forfeited prior to the Vesting Date as provided in Section 2 above, the earned Units will be converted to shares of Stock on the earlier of (i) the effective date of a Change in Control, unless the Units are assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the Change in Control) or (ii) the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Conversion Date”).  The shares of Stock will be registered in the name of Grantee as of the Conversion Date, and statements of book entry notation of the shares of Stock in the name of Grantee shall be delivered to Grantee or Grantee’s designee upon request of Grantee as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date.   

4.    Limitation of Rights.  The Units do not confer to Grantee or Grantee’s beneficiary any rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until shares of Stock are in fact issued to such person in connection with the Units.  Nothing in this Certificate shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any affiliate to terminate Grantee’s service at any time, nor confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the service of the Company or any affiliate.  

5.    Dividend Equivalents.  If any dividends or other distributions are paid with respect to the Company’s Stock while the earned Units are outstanding (i.e., after December 31, 2018, and before the Conversion Date), the dollar amount or fair market value of such dividends or distributions with respect to the number of shares of Stock then underlying the Units shall be converted into additional Units in Grantee’s name, based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock as of the date such dividends or distributions were payable, and such additional Units shall be subject to the same forfeiture and transfer restrictions and deferral terms as apply to the Units with respect to which they relate.  Upon conversion of the Units into shares of Stock at the Conversion Date or any applicable deferral termination date, Grantee will obtain full voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

6.    Restrictions on Transfer.  No right or interest of Grantee in the Units may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of Grantee to any other party other than the Company or an affiliate.  The Units are not assignable or transferable by Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  

7.    Payment of Taxes.  Where applicable, Grantee will pay to the Company or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of, any federal, state and local taxes of any kind (including social insurance contributions, payroll taxes and other related taxes, if any) required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the withholding requirement will be satisfied by withholding shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the amount required to be withheld in accordance with applicable tax requirements.  The obligations of the Company under this Certificate will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, and, where applicable, its subsidiaries will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Grantee.
    
8.    Amendment.  The Committee may amend, modify or terminate this Certificate without approval of Grantee; provided, however, that such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without Grantee’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of this award determined as if it had been fully vested (i.e., as if all restrictions on the Units hereunder had expired) on the date of such amendment or termination.

9.    Plan Controls.  The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Certificate and this Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan.  In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Certificate, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and determinative.

10.    Compensation Adjustment and Clawback.  If, at any time prior to the Conversion Date, the Company and its auditors determine that the number of Units deemed earned was calculated on financial results that were subsequently restated or otherwise was based on materially incorrect data, the Committee has full discretion to adjust the number of Units that will convert to actual shares of Stock on the Conversion Date to reflect the correct number of Units that would have been earned based on the restated or corrected financial results.  In addition, if at any time after the Conversion Date, the Company and its auditors determine that the number of Units that converted to actual shares of Stock on the Conversion Date was calculated on financial results that were subsequently restated or otherwise was based on materially incorrect data, the Committee may, in its discretion, direct the Company to recover from Grantee an amount (based on the fair market value of the shares of Stock underlying the Units as of the Conversion Date), equal to the incremental compensation in excess of the compensation that would have been earned based on the restated or corrected financial results.

11.    Successors.  This Certificate shall be binding upon any successor of the Company, in accordance with the terms of this Certificate and the Plan.

12.    Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Certificate are invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Certificate will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.

13.    Notice.  Notices and communications under this Certificate must be in writing and either personally delivered or sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.  Notices to the Company must be addressed to:

Dear Lisa:
This letter will constitute an amendment to the Plan solely with respect to you and shall not affect the Plan in any respect as to any other past, present or future Eligible Employee.  The Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”) has approved, subject to your acceptance by signing a copy of this letter, the following amendments to the Plan applicable solely to you.  You understand that similar or dissimilar individual amendments may be entered into concurrently or from time to time hereafter with other individual employees, which amendments will not affect the Plan as applied to you.  Subject to your acceptance below, the following amendments to the Plan shall be given effect on and as of December 21, 2017:
1.    Section 3.1(c) (1) is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“If Lisa M. Most (“Ms. Most”) shall be an Eligible Employee who is eligible to receive benefits  pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(1), (2) or (3) and who executes a General Release, Ms. Most shall receive an amount equal to 104 Weeks of Pay.  The Company will pay this amount in a lump sum to Ms. Most within five days after her Termination Date.  Ms. Most shall also receive the “COBRA Benefits” described in Section 3.2 (which shall be paid by the successor company) and a bonus described in Section 3.4A (which shall be paid by the Company within five days after Ms. Most’s Termination Date).”  
2.    Section 3.4 is hereby amended by adding the following at the beginning at the first sentence thereof:
“Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4A,”
3.    The following is hereby added as Section 3.4A:
3.4A.    Double Bonus.  If Ms. Most is eligible to receive benefits pursuant to Section 2.3(b) (1), (2) or (3), the Company, in lieu of the pro-rated bonus referred to in Section 3.4, shall pay Ms. Most an amount equal to the average of the last two bonuses received by Ms. Most prior to his Termination Date under the Company’s Incentive Compensation Opportunity Award Program [(or the compensation program for leasing officers, if applicable)] multiplied by two.  The Company shall pay such amount to Ms. Most within the five‐day period after his Termination Date.”
4.    Except as expressly amended hereby, none of your rights or obligations or those of the Company under the Plan shall be affected hereby.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this amendment 

Exhibit 10.21

shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.  This letter contains the entire agreement of the signatories with respect to the amendments to the Plan set forth herein.  For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that (a) if the Plan shall be terminated, the amendments set forth in Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this letter shall thereupon cease to have any effect and (b) if an amendment to the Plan applicable to Eligible Employees generally shall be adopted, (i) such amendment shall be applicable to Ms. Most (except as provided in clause (ii)) and (ii) the terms hereof (other than the amounts payable under Sections 3.1(c) (1) and 3.4A of the Plan as set forth above) shall be amended to the extent necessary as determined by the Committee to be consistent with the amendment to the Plan so adopted, in each case without any further action by either of the parties to this letter.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no modification or claim of waiver of any of the provisions hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such modification or waiver is sought to be enforced.
