Exhibit 10.12
TE Connectivity Ltd.
2007 Stock and Incentive Plan
Terms and Conditions
of
Restricted Unit Award
< XXXX >
RESTRICTED UNIT AWARD made as of [XXXX] (the “Grant Date”).
1.Grant of Award.  TE Connectivity Ltd. (the “Company”) has granted you [XXX] Restricted Units, subject to the provisions of this Award Agreement, including any special terms and conditions for your country in the appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix”).  The Company will hold the Restricted Units in a bookkeeping account on your behalf until they become payable or are forfeited or cancelled.
2.Payment Amount.  Each Restricted Unit represents one (1) share of common stock of the Company (the “Share”).
3.Form of Payment.  Vested Restricted Units will be settled solely in Shares, subject to Section 16 herein and any special terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix.
4.Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.  Restricted Units are a promise to deliver Shares upon vesting.  For each Restricted Unit that is unvested, you will be credited with a Dividend Equivalent Unit (the “DEU”) for any cash or stock dividends distributed by the Company on its Shares.  DEUs will be calculated at the same dividend rate paid to other holders of Shares.  The number of DEUs to be credited to your account upon payment of a dividend will be equal to the quotient produced by dividing the cash value of the dividend earned on the Restricted Units by the fair market value of the Shares, defined as the closing price per Share as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the date the dividend is paid.  DEUs will vest and be delivered in the form of Shares in accordance with the vesting and payment schedules applicable to the underlying Restricted Units.
5.Time of Delivery.  Except as otherwise provided for in this Award Agreement, Shares issuable upon vesting of the Restricted Units and DEUs will be delivered to you in whole Shares rounding down for any fractional Shares as soon as is administratively feasible following the date of vesting set forth in Section 6 or other applicable vesting date or event set forth in this Award Agreement, except as otherwise set forth in Section 24.
6.Normal Vesting.  Your Restricted Unit Award will vest in four (4) equal installments, with the first installment on the first November 15 that is at least twelve (12) months from the Grant Date and the remaining three (3) installments on the following three (3) anniversaries of the first vesting date (the “Normal Vesting Terms”). The value of the Shares 

1

​

issued at vesting will be calculated using the average of the high and low per Share price as reported on the NYSE on the date of vesting. 
7.Termination of Employment.  Any Restricted Units and DEUs that have not vested as of your Termination of Employment, other than as set forth under Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 herein, will immediately be forfeited, and your rights with respect to those Restricted Units and DEUs will end.
8.Death or Disability.  If your Termination of Employment is a result of your death or Disability, your Restricted Unit Award will immediately become fully vested and Shares issuable upon vesting of the Restricted Units and DEUs will be delivered in accordance with Section 5.  If you are deceased, the Company will deliver Shares to your estate immediately after the Committee or its designee has determined the duly appointed executor or administrator of your estate.
9.Retirement Eligible.  If, at the time of your Termination of Employment, you have attained age 55 and have completed at least five years of service, provided that the sum of your age and years of service with the Company is 65 or higher, your Restricted Unit Award will continue to vest under the terms and conditions hereunder following your Termination of Employment to the same extent you would have vested had you not had a Termination of Employment, provided that (i) you continue to satisfy all other applicable conditions established by the Committee on or prior to the date of your Retirement with respect to such continued vesting, (ii) you are not terminated for Cause, and (iii) if your Termination of Employment is due to your voluntary Retirement, you shall have provided written notice to the Company of your Retirement at least six months (or one year in the case of a Band 0, Band 1 or Band 2 Employee) prior to your Retirement; Shares issuable for any portion of your Restricted Unit Award and DEUs that vest pursuant to this Section 9 will be delivered in accordance with Section 5. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in your jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable retirement treatment, which otherwise would apply to the Restricted Units pursuant to this Section 9, being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply the favorable retirement treatment at the time of your Termination of Employment and the Restricted Units will be treated as they would under the rules that otherwise would have applied as if your Termination of Employment did not qualify as a retirement pursuant to this Section 9.
10.Change in Control.  Except as may be otherwise provided by the Committee, if your Termination of Employment occurs after a Change in Control, as defined in the Plan, your Restricted Unit Award (or any other form of equity award or compensation that replaces your Restricted Unit Award as a result of the Change in Control) will immediately become fully vested, provided that:
(a) your employment is terminated by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary employing you (the “Employer”) for any reason other than Cause, Disability or death in the twelve (12)-month period following the Change in Control; or 

2

​

(b) you terminate your employment with the Company or the Employer after one of the following events within the twelve (12)-month period following the Change in Control: 
	i.		the Company or the Employer (1) assigns or causes to be assigned to you duties inconsistent in any material respect with your position as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; (2) makes or causes to be made any material adverse change in your position, authority, duties or responsibilities; or (3) takes or causes to be taken any other action which, in your reasonable judgment, would cause you to violate your ethical or professional obligations (after written notice of such judgment has been provided by you to the Company or the Employer and the Company or the Employer has been given a 15-day period within which to cure such action); or

	ii.		the Company or the Employer, without your consent, (1) requires you to relocate to a principal place of employment more than 50 miles from your existing place of employment; or (2) materially reduces your base salary, annual bonus, or retirement, welfare, stock incentive, perquisite (if any) and other benefits taken as a whole (collectively, a “Change in Control Termination”); 

​
provided, however, that none of the events described in this sentence shall constitute a Change in Control Termination unless and until (w) you first notify the Company in writing describing in reasonable detail the condition which constitutes a Change in Control Termination within ninety (90) days of its occurrence, (x) the Company fails to cure such condition within (thirty) 30 days after the Company’s receipt of such written notice, (y) notwithstanding such efforts, the condition continues to exist, and (z) you terminate employment within sixty (60) days after the end of such (thirty) 30-day cure period.  Shares issuable for any portion of your Restricted Unit Award that vests pursuant to this Section 10 and DEUs will be delivered in accordance with Section 5.
11.Termination of Employment as a Result of a Divestiture or Outsourcing.  If the business in which you are employed is being separated from the Company as a result of a Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or an Outsourcing Agreement, and, as of the closing date of the applicable transaction you are designated in the transaction documents (either individually or by classification) as a “business employee” (or similar designation) who will be terminating employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries either because (i) you will remain with the separated business after the transaction or be transferred to the employment of the buyer or Outsourcing Agent as a result of the transaction, or (ii) you will not be offered continued employment by the Company or a Subsidiary, buyer or Outsourcing Agent after the close of the transaction, then your Restricted Unit Award will vest pro rata (standard rounding to the nearest Unit in full-month increments) and Shares and DEUs issuable upon vesting of the Restricted Units will be delivered as soon as administratively feasible after the closing date of the transaction, unless the Award is subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, in which case the Shares and DEUs will not be distributed until the earlier of the next Normal Vesting date or your separation from service with the Company or a Subsidiary.  The pro rata vesting will be based on (i) the number of whole months that you have completed from the Grant Date through the end of the month of the closing date of the applicable transaction over the original number of months of the vesting period, times (ii) the total number of Restricted Units awarded on the Grant Date minus (iii) the number of Restricted Units previously vested pursuant 

3

​

to the Normal Vesting Terms.  If you become entitled to the pro rata vesting described in this Section 11, you will not be entitled to any further vesting in your Restricted Unit Award, unless you are transferred to employment with the Company or a Subsidiary in a position outside of the business that is being separated from the Company (with the intent of continued employment with the Company or a Subsidiary outside of the separated business) prior to your Termination of Employment as a result of the Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or an Outsourcing Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be eligible for such pro rata vesting if, (i) your Termination of Employment occurs on or prior to the closing date of such Disposition of Assets or Disposition of a Subsidiary, as applicable, or on such later date as is specifically provided in the applicable transaction agreement or related agreements, or on the effective date of such Outsourcing Agreement applicable to you (the “Applicable Employment Date”), and (ii) you are offered Comparable Employment with the buyer, successor company or outsourcing agent, as applicable, but do not commence such employment on the Applicable Employment Date.  
For the purposes of this Section 11, (a) “Comparable Employment” shall mean employment at a base salary rate and bonus target that is at least equal to the base salary rate and bonus target in effect immediately prior to your Termination of Employment and at a location that is no more than 50 miles from your existing place of employment; (b) “Disposition of Assets” shall mean the disposition by the Company or a Subsidiary of all or a portion of the assets used by the Company or Subsidiary in a trade or business to an unrelated corporation or entity; (c) “Disposition of a Subsidiary” shall mean the disposition by the Company or a Subsidiary of its interest in a Subsidiary to an unrelated individual or entity, provided that such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of such disposition; and (d) “Outsourcing Agreement” shall mean a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and an unrelated third party (“Outsourcing Agent”) pursuant to which the Company transfers the performance of services previously performed by employees of the Company or Subsidiary to the Outsourcing Agent, and the Outsourcing Agreement includes an obligation of the Outsourcing Agent to offer employment to any employee whose employment is being terminated as a result of or in connection with said Outsourcing Agreement.
 12.Responsibility for Taxes.  Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), by accepting the Award, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax- Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any DEUs; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Restricted Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the 

4

​

Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
	i.		withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer;

	ii.		withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or 

	iii.		withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Restricted Units;

provided, however, that if you are a Section 16 officer under the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i) and (ii) above.
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and you will have no entitlement to the Shares equivalent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A of the Code, if Shares are withheld to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the Restricted Units for any portion of the Award that is subject to Section 409A, the number of Shares withheld will not exceed the number of Shares that equals the liability for the Tax-Related Items.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.
Finally, you shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
13.Transfer of Award.  You may not transfer any interest in the Restricted Units except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Any other attempt to dispose of your interest in the Restricted Units will be null and void.

​

14.Covenant; Forfeiture of Award; Agreement to Reimburse Company.
(a)If you have been terminated for Cause, any Restricted Units shall be immediately rescinded and, in addition, you hereby agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company the number of Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, the cash value of said Shares) you received for Restricted Units that vested during the six (6) month period prior to your Termination of Employment.

6

​

(b) If, after your Termination of Employment, the Committee determines in its sole discretion that while you were an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary you engaged in activity that would have constituted grounds for the Company or Subsidiary to terminate your employment for Cause, then you hereby agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company the number of Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, the cash value of said Shares) you (i) received for Restricted Units that vested during the six (6) month period prior to your Termination of Employment and (ii) received for Restricted Units that vested following your Termination of Employment.
(c)If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that at any time after your Termination of Employment and prior to the later of (i) the second anniversary of your Termination of Employment and (ii) the final vesting date of any Restricted Units and DEUs granted hereunder you (i) disclosed business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or Subsidiary or (ii) have entered into an employment or consultation arrangement (including any arrangement for employment or service as an agent, partner, stockholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in a business and (A) such employment or consultation arrangement would likely (in the Committee’s sole discretion) result in the disclosure of business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or a Subsidiary to a business that is competitive with any Company or Subsidiary business as to which you have had access to business strategic or confidential information, and (B) the Committee has not approved the arrangement in writing, then you hereby agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company the number of Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, the cash value of said shares) you (i) received for Restricted Units that vested during the six (6) month period prior to your Termination of Employment and (ii) you received for Restricted Units that vested following your Termination of Employment.
(d)The Committee shall be entitled to require that you repay all or part of any amount received (whether in cash or Shares) pursuant to the terms of this Award (i) to the extent it deems it necessary or appropriate to comply with any current or future rules of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, the NYSE or any other governmental agency, as they may be amended from time to time, (ii) to the extent it deems it necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, as may be in effect from time to time, or  (iii) to the extent otherwise deemed appropriate by the Committee to recover any overpayment or mistaken payment that was based on deficient financial information, and you hereby agree and promise to promptly remit to the Company any such amount.
15.Adjustments.  In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event, the Committee shall adjust the number and kind of Shares covered by the Restricted Units and other relevant provisions to the extent necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided by the Restricted Units.  

7

​

16.Restrictions on Payment of Shares.  Payment of Shares for your Restricted Units is subject to the conditions that, to the extent required at the time of delivery, (a) the Shares underlying the Restricted Units will be duly listed, upon official notice of settlement, upon the NYSE, and (b) a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares will be effective.  The Company will not be required to deliver any Shares until all applicable federal, state, foreign and local laws and regulations have been complied with and all legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Shares have been approved by counsel of the Company.
17.Insider Trading; Market Abuse Laws.  By accepting the Award, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the Company’s insider trading policy, and are aware of and understand your obligations under federal securities laws in respect of trading in the Company’s securities.  The Company will have the right to recover, or receive reimbursement for, any compensation or profit realized on the disposition of Shares received for Restricted Units to the extent that the Company has a right of recovery or reimbursement under applicable securities laws.
You acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Restricted Units) or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in your country).  Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed inside information.  Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing inside information to any third party, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell Company securities.  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s insider trading policy.  You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and you should speak to your personal advisor on this matter.
18.Plan Terms Govern.  The vesting and settlement of Restricted Units, the disposition of any Shares received for Restricted Units, and the treatment of any gain on the disposition of these Shares are subject to the terms of the Plan and any rules that the Committee may prescribe.  The Plan document, as may be amended from time to time, is incorporated into this Award Agreement.  Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement have the meaning set forth in the Plan, unless otherwise stated in this Award Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Award Agreement, the Plan will control.  By accepting the Award, you acknowledge receipt of the Plan, as in effect on the date of this Award Agreement.
19.Data Privacy.  By accepting the Award, you hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Award Agreement and any other grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Company, your Employer and any other Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

8

​

You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  You understand that these recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country.  You understand that if you reside outside the United States you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local Human Resources Representative.  You authorize the Company and the recipients assisting the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.  You understand that if you reside outside the United States you may at any time view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local Human Resources Representative.  Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke the consents, your employment or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the consents is that the Company would not be able to grant Restricted Units or other equity awards to you or administer or maintain such awards.  Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local Human Resources Representative.

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(b)the grant of the Restricted Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of restricted units, or benefits in lieu of restricted units, even if restricted units have been granted repeatedly in the past; 
(c)all decisions with respect to future restricted unit grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 
(d)your participation in the Plan shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary nor create a right to

(f)the Restricted Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Units, and the value of and income from same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; 
(i)in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Units resulting from your Termination of Employment with the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws); and except where expressly prohibited under applicable law, you irrevocably release the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim; 
(j)the Restricted Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Units, and the value of and income from same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service you may provide as a director of any Subsidiary; 
(k)the Restricted Units and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability;
(l)payment of your Restricted Units is not secured by a trust, insurance contract or other funding medium, and you do not have any interest in any fund or specific asset of the Company by reason of this Award or the account established on your behalf;

(n)if you reside outside the United States,
(A)the Restricted Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Units, and the value of and income from same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and 
(B)neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other Subsidiary will be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between any local currency and the U.S. dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Units, any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

Appendix
to the 
​
Terms and Conditions
of
Restricted Unit Award
​
under the
TE Connectivity Ltd. 
2007 Stock And Incentive Plan
​
Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Appendix have the same meaning assigned to them in the Plan and/or the Award Agreement to which this Appendix is attached.
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the grant of Restricted Units in your country.  If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently residing and/or working, transfer residency and/or employment to another country after the grant but prior to the vesting of the Restricted Units, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company may, in its discretion, determine to what extent the additional terms and conditions contained herein will apply to you.
Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of November 2019.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date when the Restricted Units or DEUs vest, the receipt of any dividends or the subsequent sale of the Shares.  In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result.  Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.  If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently residing and/or working, transfer residency and/or employment to another country after the Restricted Units are granted to you, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to you.

EU/EEA COUNTRIES
Terms and Conditions
The following terms and conditions will apply if you work or reside in a European Union (“EU”) / European Economic Area (“EEA”) country.  
Data Privacy Information and Consent.  The following provisions replace Section 19 of the Award Agreement:
(a)Data Collection and Usage.  The Company and the Employer collect, process and use certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Units, and any other rights to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the explicit declaration of the consent you provide when signing or electronically agreeing to the Award Agreement.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers.  The Company transfers Data to UBS Financial Services Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“UBS”), which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  You may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with UBS, with such agreement being a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)Other Service Provider Data Recipients. The Company and the Employer also may transfer Data to other third party service providers, if necessary to ensure compliance with applicable tax, exchange control, securities and labor law. Such third party service providers may include the Company’s legal counsel as well as its auditor/accountant/third party vendor (currently Deloitte, Willis Towers Watson). Wherever possible, the Company will anonymize data, but you understand that your Data may need to be transferred to such providers to ensure compliance with applicable law and/or tax requirements.
(d)International Data Transfers.  The Company, UBS and its other service providers described above under (c) have operations in the United States.  Your country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States.  For example, the European Commission has issued a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies only to the extent companies register for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program.  The Company has registered for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program and, as such, may transfer Data from the EU to the U.S. in reliance on the program.  
(e)Data Retention.  The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws. This period may extend beyond your employment with the Employer. When the Company or the Employer no longer need Data for any of the above purposes, they will cease 

15

​

processing it in this context and remove it from all of their systems used for such purposes to the fullest extent practicable.
(f)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal.  Participation in the Plan is voluntary and you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke the consent, your salary from or employment relationship with the Employer will not be affected.  The only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Restricted Units under the Plan or administer or maintain your participation in the Plan. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.
(g)Data Subject Rights.  You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your jurisdiction.  Depending on where you are based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectify incorrect Data, (iii) delete Data, (iv) restrict the processing of Data, (v) restrict the portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data.  To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, you can contact your local human resources representative.

If, at the time of your Termination of Employment, you have attained age 55 and have completed at least five years of service, provided that the sum of your age and years of service with the Company is 65 or higher, your Restricted Unit Award will vest pro rata (standard rounding to the nearest Unit, in full-month increments) based on (i) the number of whole months that you have completed from the Grant Date through the end of the month in which your Termination of Employment occurs, over the original number of months of the vesting period, times (ii) the total number of Restricted Units awarded on the Grant Date minus (iii) the number of Restricted Units previously vested under the Normal Vesting Terms, provided that (i) you continue to satisfy all other applicable conditions established by the Committee on or prior to the date of your Retirement with respect to such pro rata vesting, (ii) you are not terminated for Cause, and (iii) if your Termination of Employment is due to your voluntary Retirement, you shall have provided written notice to the Company of your Retirement at least six months (or one year in the case of a Band 0, Band 1 or Band 2 Employee) prior to your Retirement.

You acknowledge that the broker is not required to sell the Shares at any particular price and that the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary, as well as the broker, cannot be held responsible for any loss of proceeds due to the sale.
Exchange Control Requirements.  You understand and agree that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, you will be required to repatriate the cash proceeds from the sale of the Shares issued upon the vesting of the Restricted Units and the DEUs as well as any cash dividends paid on such Shares to China.

You also understand that the Company will deliver the proceeds to you as soon as possible, but there may be delays in distributing the funds to you due to exchange control requirements in China.  Proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion.  If the proceeds are paid to you in U.S. dollars, you may be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account.

No Entitlement for Claims or Compensation.  The following provisions supplement Section 20 of the Award Agreement:  
By accepting the Restricted Units, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan documents. 
You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Restricted Units under the Plan to individuals who may be eligible persons throughout the world.  The decision is limited and entered into based upon the express assumption and condition that any Restricted Units will not economically or otherwise bind the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Award Agreement.  Consequently, you understand that the Restricted Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Restricted Units are not, and will not become, part of any employment contract (whether with the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit or salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  Furthermore, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever will arise from the grant of Restricted Units, which is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the Restricted Units and the underlying Shares is unknown and unpredictable.  You also understand that this grant of Restricted Units would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions set forth hereinabove; thus, you understand, acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the Restricted Units and any right to the underlying Shares will be null and void.
Further, the vesting of the Restricted Units and DEUs is expressly conditioned on your status as an eligible person such that if your status terminates for any reason whatsoever, your Restricted Units and DEUs cease vesting immediately effective the date of your Termination of Employment for any reason including, but not limited to, resignation, retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, and/or Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer and  under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985.

Exhibit 10.17
TE Connectivity Ltd.
2007 Stock and Incentive Plan
Terms and Conditions
of
Performance Stock Unit Award
< XXXX >
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD made as of [XXXX] (the “Grant Date”).
1.Grant of Award.  TE Connectivity Ltd. (the “Company”) has granted you [XXX] Performance Stock Units (the “Target Award”), subject to the provisions of this Award Agreement, including the performance metrics set forth in Appendix A attached hereto and any special terms and conditions for your country as set forth in Appendix B attached hereto.  The Company will hold the Performance Stock Units in a bookkeeping account on your behalf until they become payable or are forfeited or cancelled.
2.Payment Amount.  Each Performance Stock Unit represents one (1) share of common stock of the Company (a “Share”).
3.Form of Payment.  Vested Performance Stock Units will be settled solely in Shares, subject to Section 16 herein and any special terms and conditions set forth in Appendix B.
4.Performance Stock Units/Dividends.  Performance Stock Units are a promise to deliver Shares upon a specified delivery date, provided that certain vesting and performance requirements are met, as described in this Award Agreement and Appendix A.  For each Performance Stock Unit that is unvested (based on the Target Award), you will be credited with a Dividend Equivalent Unit (“DEU”) for any cash or stock dividends distributed by the Company on its Shares.  DEUs will be calculated at the same dividend rate paid to other holders of Shares.  The number of DEUs to be credited to your account upon payment of a dividend will be equal to the quotient produced by dividing the cash value of the dividend earned on the Target Award number of Performance Stock Units by the fair market value of the Shares, defined as the closing price per Share as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the date the dividend is paid.  DEUs will vest and be delivered to you in the form of Shares in accordance with the vesting and payment schedules applicable to the underlying Performance Stock Units, and proportional to the actual number of Performance Stock Units that are earned and vested.  Thus, the number of Shares delivered in conjunction with the DEUs credited to your Performance Stock Unit Award may be adjusted (upward or downward) to reflect the actual number of Performance Stock Units that are earned and vested.
5.Time of Delivery.  Except as otherwise provided for in this Award Agreement, Shares issuable upon vesting of the Performance Stock Units and DEUs will be delivered to you 

1

​

in whole Shares rounding down for any fractional Shares as soon as is administratively feasible following the delivery date specified in Section 6 below, except as otherwise set forth in Section 24.
6.Normal Vesting.  Subject to the attainment of the performance metrics described in Appendix A and your continued employment other than as set forth in Sections 8, 9, 10 or 11 below, your Performance Stock Unit Award will vest on the later of (a) the third anniversary of the Grant Date or (b) the “Certification Date” (as defined in Appendix A) for the performance results of the “Performance Cycle” (as defined in Appendix A). Except as provided in paragraphs 8, 9, 10 and 11 below, the delivery date of the Shares will be after the November 30th following the end of the Performance Cycle, but in any case, no earlier than the Certification Date following the close of the Performance Cycle and no later than 90 days after such November 30th.  The value of the Shares issued at vesting will be the average of the high and low per Share price as reported on the NYSE on the date of vesting. 
7.Termination of Employment.  Any Performance Stock Units and DEUs that have not vested as of your Termination of Employment, other than as set forth under Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 herein, will immediately be forfeited, and your rights with respect to those Performance Stock Units and DEUs will end. 
8.Death or Disability.  If your Termination of Employment is a result of your death or Disability, your Performance Stock Unit Award will vest in full at 100% of the original target shares granted to you. Such vested Performance Stock Units and DEUs will be delivered to you as soon as administratively feasible following the date of Death or Disability event, but in no case after the later of the end of the calendar year in which the death or Disability occurs or two and a half months following the death or disability date. If you are deceased, the payment of your vested Performance Stock Units, consistent with the delivery timing described in the preceding sentence, will be made to your estate after the Committee or its designee has determined that the payee is the duly appointed executor or administrator of your estate. 
9.Retirement Eligible.  If, at the time of your Termination of Employment, you have attained age 55 and have completed at least five years of service, provided that the sum of your age and years of service with the Company is 65 or higher, your Performance Stock Unit Award will continue to vest under the terms and conditions hereunder following your Termination of Employment to the same extent you would have vested had you not had a Termination of Employment, provided that (i) you continue to satisfy all other applicable conditions as may be established by the Committee on or prior to the date of your Termination of Employment with respect to such continued vesting, (ii)  you have performed satisfactorily, as determined in the sole discretion of your manager, (iii) you are not terminated for Cause, and (iv) if your Termination of Employment is due to your voluntary Retirement, you shall have provided written notice to the Company of your Retirement at least six months (or one year in the case of a Band 0, Band 1 or Band 2 Employee) prior to your Retirement.  Shares issuable for any portion of your Performance Stock Unit Award and DEUs that vest pursuant to this Section 9 will be delivered to you pursuant to Section 6.   
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in your jurisdiction that likely would result 

2

​

in the favorable retirement treatment, which otherwise would apply to the Performance Stock Units pursuant to this Section 9, being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply the favorable retirement treatment at the time of your Termination of Employment and the Performance Stock Units will be treated as they would under the rules that otherwise would have applied as if your Termination of Employment did not qualify as a retirement pursuant to this Section 9.
10.Change in Control.  Except as may be otherwise provided by the Committee, if your Termination of Employment occurs after a Change in Control, as defined in the Plan, your Performance Stock Unit Award (or any other form of equity award or compensation that replaces your Performance Stock Unit Award as a result of the Change in Control) will immediately become fully vested at the Target Award, provided that:  
(a) your employment is terminated by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary employing you (the “Employer”) for any reason other than Cause, Disability or death in the twelve (12)-month period following the Change in Control; or 
(b) you terminate your employment with the Company or the Employer after one of the following events within the twelve (12)-month period following the Change in Control: 
	i.		the Company or the Employer (1) assigns or causes to be assigned to you duties inconsistent in any material respect with your position as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; (2) makes or causes to be made any material adverse change in your position, authority, duties or responsibilities; or (3) takes or causes to be taken any other action which, in your reasonable judgment, would cause you to violate your ethical or professional obligations (after written notice of such judgment has been provided by you to the Company or the Employer and the Company or the Employer has been given a 15-day period within which to cure such action); or

​
	ii.		the Company or the Employer, without your consent, (1) requires you to relocate to a principal place of employment more than fifty (50) miles from your existing place of employment; or (2) materially reduces your base salary, annual bonus, or retirement, welfare, stock incentive, perquisite (if any) and other benefits taken as a whole (collectively, a “Change in Control Termination”); 

​
provided, however, that none of the events described in this sentence shall constitute a Change in Control Termination unless and until (w) you first notify the Company in writing describing in reasonable detail the condition which constitutes a Change in Control Termination within ninety (90) days of its occurrence, (x) the Company fails to cure such condition within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of such written notice, (y) notwithstanding such efforts, the condition continues to exist, and (z) you terminate employment within sixty (60) days after the end of such thirty (30)-day cure period.
If you meet the requirements described in the previous sentences, your Performance Stock Unit Award will vest in full at 100% of your Target Award (or any other equity or compensation award granted in replacement of your Performance Stock Unit Award as a result of the Change 

3

​

in Control, as applicable). Such vested Performance Stock Units (or other equity or compensation award granted in replacement of your Performance Stock Unit Award as a result of the Change in Control, as applicable) will be delivered as soon as administratively practicable after your Change in Control Termination.
​
11.Termination of Employment as a Result of a Divestiture or Outsourcing.  If the business in which you are employed is being separated from the Company as a result of a Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or an Outsourcing Agreement, and, as of the closing date of the applicable transaction you are designated in the transaction documents (either individually or by classification) as a business employee (or similar designation) who will be terminating employment with the Company or a Subsidiary either because (i) you will remain with the separated business after the transaction or be transferred to the employment of the buyer or Outsourcing Agent as a result of the transaction, or (ii) you will not be offered continued employment by the Company or a Subsidiary, buyer or Outsourcing Agent after the close of the transaction, then (a) your Performance Stock Unit Award will vest pro rata (standard rounding to the nearest Unit, in full-month increments) on the closing date based on (i) the number of whole months from the first day of the Performance Cycle through the closing date of the applicable transaction divided by thirty-six (36), times (ii) the Target Award number of  Performance Stock Units  and (b) any remaining Performance Stock Units will be forfeited.  In the case of a Divestiture through a Disposition of Assets or an Outsourcing Agreement for participants who have not reached Retirement eligibility (as described in paragraph 9. above) as of the close of the Disposition of Assets or the Outsourcing Agreement date, such vested Performance Stock Units will be delivered as soon as administratively practicable following the close of the Divestiture.  In no event will such vested shares be delivered after the later of the end of the calendar year in which the Divestiture takes place or the date that is two and a half months after the Divestiture closing date.  In the case of a Divestiture through a Disposition of Assets or an Outsourcing Agreement for participants who have reached Retirement eligibility (as described in paragraph 9. above) as of the close Disposition of Assets or the Outsourcing Agreement date, such vested Performance Stock Units will be delivered after the  November 30th following the end of the Performance Cycle, but in any case, no earlier than the Certification Date for the performance results for the Performance Cycle and no later than 90 days after such November 30th.  In the case of a Divestiture through a Disposition of a Subsidiary, the vested Performance Stock Units will be delivered as soon as administratively practicable following the close of the Divestiture. In no event will such vested shares be delivered after the later of the end of the calendar year in which the Divestiture takes place or the date that is two and a half months after the Divestiture closing date.  If you become entitled to the pro-rated vesting described in this Section 11, you will not be entitled to any further vesting in your Performance Stock Unit Award unless you are transferred to employment with the Company in a position outside of the business that is being separated from the Company (with the intent of continued employment with the Company outside of the separated business) after the closing date of the applicable transaction, but prior  to your Termination of Employment as a result of the Disposition of Assets, Disposition of a Subsidiary or an Outsourcing Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will not be eligible for such pro-rata vesting if, (i) your Termination of Employment occurs on or prior to the closing date of such Disposition of Assets or Disposition of a Subsidiary, as applicable, or on such later date as is specifically provided in the applicable transaction agreement or related agreements, or on the effective date 

4

​

of such Outsourcing Agreement applicable to you (the “Applicable Employment Date”), and (ii) you are offered Comparable Employment with the buyer, successor company or outsourcing agent, as applicable, but do not commence such employment on the Applicable Employment Date.  
 For the purposes of this Section 11, (a) “Comparable Employment” shall mean employment at a base salary rate and bonus target that is at least equal to the base salary rate and bonus target in effect immediately prior to your Termination of Employment and at a location that is no more than fifty (50) miles from your existing place of employment; (b) “Disposition of Assets” shall mean the disposition by the Company or a Subsidiary of all or a portion of the assets used by the Company or Subsidiary in a trade or business to an unrelated corporation or entity;  (c) “Disposition of a Subsidiary” shall mean the disposition by the Company or a Subsidiary of its interest in a subsidiary or controlled entity to an unrelated individual or entity, provided that such subsidiary or entity ceases to be an affiliated company as a result of such disposition; and (d) “Outsourcing Agreement” shall mean a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and an unrelated third party (“Outsourcing Agent”) pursuant to which the Company transfers the performance of services previously performed by employees of the Company or Subsidiary to the Outsourcing Agent, and the Outsourcing Agreement includes an obligation of the Outsourcing Agent to offer employment to any employee whose employment is being terminated as a result of or in connection with said Outsourcing Agreement.
12.Responsibility for Taxes.  Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), by accepting the Award, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax- Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Performance Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Performance Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any DEUs; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Performance Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.  
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
	i.		withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer;

5

​

	ii.		withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the Performance Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization); or 

	iii.		withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Performance Stock Units; 

provided, however, that if you are a Section 16 officer under the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i) and (ii) above.
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and you will have no entitlement to the Shares equivalent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A of the Code, if Shares are withheld to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the Performance Stock Units for any portion of the Award that is subject to Section 409A, the number of Shares withheld will not exceed the number of Shares that equals the liability for the Tax-Related Items.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Performance Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.
Finally, you shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
13.Transfer of Award.  You may not transfer any interest in the Performance Stock Units except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Any other attempt to dispose of your interest in the Performance Stock Units will be null and void. 
14.Covenant; Forfeiture of Award; Agreement to Reimburse Company.
(a)If you have been terminated for Cause, any Performance Stock Units shall be immediately rescinded and, in addition, you hereby agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company the number of Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, the cash value of said Shares) you received for Performance Stock Units that vested during the six (6) month period prior to your Termination of Employment.  
(b) If, after your Termination of Employment, the Committee determines in its sole discretion that while you were an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary you engaged in activity that would have constituted grounds for the Company or Subsidiary to terminate your employment for Cause, then you hereby agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company the number of Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, the cash value of said 

6

​

Shares) you received for Performance Stock Units (i) that were delivered during the six (6) month period prior to your Termination of Employment and (ii) that were delivered following your Termination of Employment.
(c)If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that at any time after your Termination of Employment and prior to the later of (i) second anniversary of your Termination of Employment and (ii) the final delivery of shares representing any Performance Stock Units granted hereunder  you (i) disclosed business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or Subsidiary or (ii) have entered into an employment or consultation arrangement (including any arrangement for employment or service as an agent, partner, stockholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in a business and (A) such employment or consultation arrangement would likely (in the Committee’s sole discretion) result in the disclosure of business confidential or proprietary information related to any business of the Company or a Subsidiary to a business that is competitive with any Company or Subsidiary business as to which you have had access to business strategic or confidential information, and  (B) the Committee has not approved the arrangement in writing, then you hereby agree and promise immediately to deliver to the Company the number of Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, the cash value of said shares) you received for Performance Stock Units  (i) that were delivered during the six (6) month period prior to your Termination of Employment and (ii) that were delivered following your Termination of Employment.
(d)The Committee shall be entitled to require that you repay all or part of any amount received (whether in cash or Shares) pursuant to the terms of this Award (i) to the extent it deems it necessary or appropriate to comply with any current or future rules of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, the NYSE or any other governmental agency, as they may be amended from time to time, (ii) to the extent it deems it necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, as may be in effect from time to time, or (iii) to the extent otherwise deemed appropriate by the Committee to recover any overpayment or mistaken payment that was based on deficient financial information, and you hereby agree and promise to promptly remit to the Company any such amount.
15.Adjustments.  In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event, the Committee shall adjust the number and kind of Shares covered by the Performance Stock Units and other relevant provisions to the extent necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided by the Performance  Stock Units.
16.Restrictions on Payment of Shares.  Payment of Shares for your Performance Stock Units is subject to the conditions that, to the extent required at the time of delivery, (a) the Shares underlying the Performance Stock Units will be duly listed, upon official notice of 

7

​

redemption, upon the NYSE, and (b) a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, with respect to the Shares will be effective.  The Company will not be required to deliver any Shares until all applicable federal, state, foreign and local laws and regulations have been complied with and all legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Shares have been approved by counsel of the Company.
17.Insider Trading; Market Abuse Laws.  By accepting the Award, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the Company’s insider trading policy, and are aware of and understand your obligations under federal securities laws in respect of trading in the Company’s securities.  The Company will have the right to recover, or receive reimbursement for, any compensation or profit realized on the disposition of Shares received for Performance Stock Units to the extent that the Company has a right of recovery or reimbursement under applicable securities laws.
You acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Performance Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in your country).  Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed inside information.  Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell Company securities.  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s insider trading policy.  You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and you should speak to your personal advisor on this matter.
18.Plan Terms Govern.  The vesting and settlement of Performance Stock Units, the disposition of any Shares received for Performance Stock Units, and the treatment of any gain on the disposition of these Shares are subject to the terms of the Plan and any rules that the Committee may prescribe.  The Plan document, as may be amended from time to time, is incorporated into this Award Agreement.  Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement have the meaning set forth in the Plan, unless otherwise stated in this Award Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Award Agreement, the Plan will control.  By accepting the Award, you acknowledge receipt of the Plan, as in effect on the date of this Award Agreement.
19.Data Privacy.  By accepting the Award, you hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Award Agreement and any other grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Company, your Employer and any other Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, email address 

8

​

and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Performance Stock Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  You understand that these recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country.  You understand that if you reside outside the United States you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local Human Resources Representative.  You authorize the Company and the recipients assisting the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.  You understand that if you reside outside the United States you may at any time view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local Human Resources Representative.  Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke the consents, your employment or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the consents is that the Company would not be able to grant Performance Stock Units or other equity awards to you or administer or maintain such awards.  Therefore, you understand that  refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local Human Resources Representative.
20.Nature of Grant.  By accepting the Award, you acknowledge, understand and agree that: 
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(b)the grant of the Performance Stock Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of performance stock units, or benefits in lieu of performance stock units, even if performance stock units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(i)in consideration of the grant of the Performance Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Performance Stock Units resulting from your Termination of Employment with the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws); and except where expressly prohibited under applicable law, you irrevocably release the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim;

APPENDIX A
​
PERFORMANCE METRICS APPLICABLE TO
FISCAL YEAR 2021 PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARDS
​
​
1.Purpose – This Appendix A to the Award Agreement provides the terms and conditions of your Performance Stock Unit Award granted on [XXXX], 2020.  The purpose of this Appendix A is to describe the terms under which you will earn Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) granted to you under your Performance Stock Unit Award through the applicable Performance Cycle.  (Note that the Shares earned under the Performance Stock Unit Award will not be delivered to you unless the applicable vesting requirements set forth in the Award Agreement are met.)  For purposes of your Performance Stock Unit Award, the “Performance Cycle” is the three fiscal year period beginning with the first day of fiscal year 2021 and ending on the last day of fiscal year 2023. 
​
2.Vesting – The vesting terms applicable to your Performance Stock Unit Award are described in the Award Agreement.  This Appendix A describes how many PSUs you will earn pursuant to the performance metrics under Performance Stock Unit Award and that will be eligible to vest, provided that you also meet the applicable vesting requirements described in the Award Agreement.
​
3.Performance Metric – The performance metric which will be measured to determine how many PSUs will be earned and eligible to vest is the three-year average growth rate of adjusted earnings per share (“relative EPS performance”) from continuing operations, evaluated over the three-year Performance Cycle.  In determining the relative EPS performance, the Company will use the Diluted EPS before Abnormal Items data published in Bloomberg News for the companies included in the benchmark described below.
​
The relative EPS performance will be calculated by ranking the Company’s three-year average EPS growth rate versus that of all eligible S&P 500 Non-Financial companies.  The calculation of the Company’s relative EPS performance will be conducted under written procedures adopted by the Committee at the time the Performance Stock Unit Award is granted.  (The approved calculation procedures will be made available to you upon written request sent to Executive Compensation, Attention Director of Executive Compensation, 1050 Westlakes Drive, Berwyn, PA 19312, USA)  
​
4.Determination of PSUs Earned – The number of PSUs earned over the Performance Cycle will be determined based on the Company’s relative EPS performance for the Performance Cycle.  The performance results, as determined at the end of the Performance Cycle based on the performance metric, will be applied to the Target Award.  Depending on the Company’s relative EPS performance during the Performance Cycle, 0% to 200% of the Target Award will vest, based on the following scale:

14

​

        ​
	​
	Threshold
	Target
	Maximum

	Performance Zone
(relative EPS growth % ranking)
	25th
	50th
	75th

	PSUs Earned
(% of PSUs earned and eligible to vest)
	50%
	100%
	200%

​
Performance results below the 25th percentile result in zero PSUs earned for the Performance Cycle.  Performance results between the 25th and 75th percentile will be interpolated on a straight-line basis.  Performance results at or above the 75th percentile are capped at 200%.
​
5.Certification Date – The date on which the Committee certifies performance results at the end of the Performance Cycle is the Certification Date for purposes of the Award Agreement. 
​
6.PSUs Earned – Once the Committee determines the number of PSUs that are earned based on the performance metric, that number of units will be credited to your Performance Stock Unit account and will be eligible to vest, subject to the other terms of this Award Agreement.
​
7.Committee Discretion – All decisions regarding the interpretation of your Performance Stock Unit Award and the calculation of Performance Stock Units earned under your Performance Stock Unit Award, including without limitation, any and all matters relating to the calculation of the Company’s relative EPS performance, will be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee.  All determinations of the Committee will be final, binding and conclusive on all parties.
​
8.Governing Document – This Appendix A is incorporated into and constitutes a part of the Award Agreement.

APPENDIX B
TO THE
​
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD
​
UNDER THE 
TE CONNECTIVITY LTD.
2007 STOCK AND INCENTIVE PLAN
​
Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Appendix B have the same meaning assigned to them in the Plan and/or the Award Agreement to which this Appendix B is attached.
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the grant of Performance Stock Units in your country.  If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently residing and/or working, transfer residency and/or employment to another country after the grant but prior to the vesting of the Performance Stock Units, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company may, in its discretion, determine to what extent the additional terms and conditions contained herein will apply to you.
Notifications
This Appendix B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of November 2020.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date when the Performance Stock Units or DEUs vest, the receipt of any dividends or the subsequent sale of the Shares.  In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result.  Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.  If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently residing and/or working, transfer residency and/or employment to another country after the Performance Stock Units are granted to you, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to you.

​

EU/EEA COUNTRIES
Terms and Conditions
The following terms and conditions will apply if you are a resident in a European Union (“EU”) / European Economic Area (“EEA”) country.  
Data Privacy Information and Consent.  The following provisions replace Section 19 of the Award Agreement:
(a)Data Collection and Usage.  The Company and the Employer collect, process and use certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Performance Stock Units, and any other rights to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the explicit declaration of the consent you provide when signing or electronically agreeing to the Award Agreement.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers.  The Company transfers Data to UBS Financial Services Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“UBS”), which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  You may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with UBS, with such agreement being a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)Other Service Provider Data Recipients. The Company and the Employer also may transfer Data to other third party service providers, if necessary to ensure compliance with applicable tax, exchange control, securities and labor law. Such third party service providers may include the Company’s legal counsel as well as its auditor/accountant/third party vendor (currently Deloitte, Willis Towers Watson). Wherever possible, the Company will anonymize data, but you understand that your Data may need to be transferred to such providers to ensure compliance with applicable law and/or tax requirements.
(d)International Data Transfers.  The Company, UBS and its other service providers described above under (c) have operations in the United States.  Your country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States.  For example, the European Commission has issued a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies only to the extent companies register for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program.  The Company has registered for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program and, as such, may transfer Data from the EU to the U.S. in reliance on the program.  
(e)Data Retention.  The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws. This period may extend beyond your employment with the Employer. When the Company or the Employer no longer need Data for any of the above purposes, they will cease 

17

​

processing it in this context and remove it from all of their systems used for such purposes to the fullest extent practicable.
(f)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal.  Participation in the Plan is voluntary and you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke the consent, your salary from or employment relationship with the Employer will not be affected.  The only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Performance Stock Units under the Plan or administer or maintain your participation in the Plan.  Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.  
(g)Data Subject Rights.  You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your jurisdiction.  Depending on where you are based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) rectify incorrect Data, (iii) delete Data, (iv) restrict the processing of Data, (v) restrict the portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data.  To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, you can contact your local human resources representative.

CHINA
Terms and Conditions
The following terms and conditions will apply if you are subject to exchange control restrictions and regulations in China, including the requirements imposed by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.  
Vesting and Termination.  The following provisions supplement Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the Award Agreement:
Notwithstanding anything in Section 9 of the Award Agreement to the contrary, if your Performance Stock Unit Award and DEUs vest pursuant to Section 9 of the Award Agreement upon your Termination of Employment, they will vest on a pro rata basis based on the most recent performance metrics available to the Company at your Termination of Employment. Shares issuable pursuant to Section 9 will be delivered to you as soon as is administratively feasible following your Termination of Employment.  For purposes of this section, pro rata vesting shall mean (standard rounding to the nearest Unit, in full month increments) based on (i) the number of whole months that you have completed from the first day of the Performance Cycle through the end of the month in which your Termination of Employment occurs, divided by thirty-six (36), times (ii) the number of Performance Stock Units that are actually earned for the Performance Cycle in accordance with the terms of Appendix A; and (b) any remaining Performance Stock Units will be forfeited.  
You agree to maintain any Shares you obtain upon vesting in an account with the designated broker prior to sale.  

18

​

You understand and agree that, regardless of the reason for your Termination of Employment, any Shares acquired under the Plan must be sold no later than sixty (60) days from your Termination of Employment, or within any such other period as may be permitted by the Company or requested by SAFE.  You understand that any Shares acquired under the Plan that have not been sold within sixty (60) days of your termination or within such other period as may be permitted by the Company or required by SAFE will be automatically sold by the designated broker pursuant to this authorization.  You acknowledge that the broker is not required to sell the Shares at any particular price and that the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary, as well as the broker, cannot be held responsible for any loss of proceeds due to the sale. 
Exchange Control Requirements.  You understand and agree that, pursuant to local exchange control requirements, you will be required to repatriate the cash proceeds from the sale of the Shares issued upon the vesting of the Performance Stock Units and the DEUs as well as any cash dividends paid on such Shares to China.  You further understand that, under applicable laws, such repatriation of your cash proceeds will need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary, and you hereby consent and agree that any proceeds from the sale of any Shares you acquire or from cash dividends paid on such Shares will be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you.  You also understand that the Company will deliver the proceeds to you as soon as possible, but there may be delays in distributing the funds to you due to exchange control requirements in China.  Proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion.  If the proceeds are paid to you in U.S. dollars, you may be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account.  If the proceeds are paid to you in local currency, the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions.  You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.
Additional Restrictions.  The Performance Stock Units and DEUs will not vest and the Shares will not be issued at vesting unless the Company determines that such vesting and the issuance and delivery of Shares complies with all applicable laws.  Further, the Company is under no obligation to vest the Performance Stock Units / DEUs and/or issue Shares if the Company’s SAFE approval becomes invalid or ceases to be in effect by the time you vest in the Performance Stock Units and DEUs.

In this case, the amount of the income tax not collected within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable.
