4. AUTHORITY OF ADVISOR. 
(a) Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including the restrictions included in Paragraph 3, this Paragraph 4 and in Paragraph 7), and subject to the continuing and exclusive authority of the Board of Directors over the management of the Corporation, the Board of Directors hereby delegates to the Advisor the authority to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions and to execute and deliver any and all agreements, certificates, assignments, instruments or other documents and to do any and all things that, in the judgment of the Advisor, may be necessary or advisable in connection with the Advisor’s duties described in Paragraph 3.

(c) In connection with a proposed transaction that requires the approval of the Independent Directors, the Advisor will deliver to the Independent Directors all documents and other information required by them to properly evaluate the proposed transaction.

13
​

​

Advisor, modify or revoke the authority set forth in this Paragraph 4. If and to the extent the Board so modifies or revokes the authority contained herein, the Advisor shall henceforth submit to the Board for prior approval such proposed transactions involving investments in Assets as thereafter require prior approval, provided however, that such modification or revocation shall be effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall not be applicable to investment transactions to which the Advisor has committed the Corporation prior to the date of receipt by the Advisor of such notification. 
 
5. BANK ACCOUNTS. The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in the name of the Corporation, the Operating Partnership or the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Corporation, the Operating Partnership or the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, under such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may approve, provided that no funds shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor; and the Advisor shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board of Directors and to the auditors of the Corporation.
6. RECORDS; ACCESS. The Advisor shall maintain appropriate records of all its activities hereunder and make such records available for inspection by the Board of Directors and by counsel, auditors and authorized agents of the Corporation, at any time or from time to time during normal business hours. The Advisor shall at all reasonable times have access to the books and records of the Corporation and the Operating Partnership. 
7. LIMITATIONS ON ACTIVITIES. Anything else in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would (a) adversely affect the status of the Corporation as a REIT, (b) subject the Corporation to regulation under the Investment Corporation Act of 1940, as amended, or (c) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Corporation, its Shares or its Securities, or otherwise not be permitted by the Charter or Bylaws of the Corporation, except if such action shall be ordered by the Board of Directors, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of Directors of the Advisor’s judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board of Directors. In such event the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board of Directors so given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor, its members, managers, directors, officers, employees and stockholders, and members, managers, stockholders, directors and officers of the Advisor’s Affiliates, shall not be liable to the Corporation or to the Board of Directors or stockholders for any act or omission by the Advisor, its members, managers, directors, officers or employees, or stockholders, members, managers, directors or officers of the Advisor’s Affiliates taken or omitted to be taken in the performance of their duties under this Agreement except as provided in Paragraph 19 of this Agreement. 
8. RELATIONSHIP WITH DIRECTORS. Subject to Paragraph 7 of this Agreement and to restrictions advisable with respect to the qualification of the Corporation as a REIT, members, managers, directors, officers and employees of the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor or any corporate parents of an Affiliate, may serve as a Director and as officers of the Corporation, 

14
​

​

except that no member, manager, director, officer or employee of the Advisor or its Affiliates who also is a Director or officer of the Corporation shall receive any compensation from the Corporation for serving as a Director or officer of the Corporation other than reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors and no such Director shall be deemed an Independent Director for purposes of satisfying the Director independence requirement set forth in the Charter. 
9. FEES. 
(a)Advisory Fee.  As compensation for asset management services rendered pursuant to Paragraph 3 hereof, the Corporation shall pay to the Advisor the Fixed Component of the Advisory Fee as set forth in this Paragraph 9(a) and the Performance Component of the Advisory Fee described in this Paragraph 9(a). Provided that this Agreement has not been terminated, the Performance Component shall be paid to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Advisor, in its capacity as the holder of the Special OP Units, as a performance participation interest with respect to the Special OP Units in the form of an allocation and distribution from the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Operating Partnership Agreement. At the election of the Advisor, all or a portion of the Performance Component shall be paid instead to the holder of the Special OP Units as a fee as set forth in this Paragraph 9(a). If the Advisor does not elect on or before the first day of a calendar year to have all or a portion of the Performance Component paid as a fee in cash to the holder of the Special OP Units, then the Performance Component shall be paid as a distribution on the performance participation interest to the holder of the Special OP Units.
(i) The Corporation shall pay to the Advisor the Fixed Component of the Advisory Fee, in an amount equal to 1/12th of 1.25% of (a) the applicable monthly NAV per Fund Interest times the weighted-average number of Fund Interests for such month and (b) the aggregate DST Property Consideration for all DST Properties.  In calculating the Fixed Component of the Advisory Fee, the Corporation uses its NAV before giving effect to monthly accruals for the Fixed and Performance Components of the Advisory Fee, Distribution Fees payable to the Dealer Manager, or distributions payable on the Corporation’s outstanding Shares or OP Units held by third parties. (ii)The Advisor shall earn a Performance Component with respect to each calendar year (or partial calendar year) in which this Agreement is in effect in an amount equal to: 
(A)the lesser of (1) the amount equal to 12.5% of (a) the Annual Total Return Amount less (b) the Loss Carryforward, and (2) the amount equal to (x) the Annual Total Return Amount, less (y) the Loss Carryforward, less (z) the Hurdle Amount; 
multiplied by:
(B)the weighted-average number of OP Units outstanding during the applicable year, calculated in accordance with GAAP as applied on a consistent basis;
(C)provided, that the Performance Component shall at no time be less than zero.  
Except as described in the definition of Loss Carryforward in this Agreement, any amount by which the Annual Total Return Amount falls below the Hurdle Amount will not be 

15
​

​

carried forward to subsequent periods. If the Performance Component is payable pursuant to this Paragraph 9(a)(ii), the Advisor shall be entitled to such payment or distribution, as applicable, even in the event that the total percentage return to Unitholders over any longer or shorter period, or the total percentage return to any particular Unitholder over the same, longer or shorter period, has been less than the Annual Total Return Amount used to calculate the Hurdle Amount.  The Advisor shall not be obligated to return any portion of any Advisory Fee paid based on the Corporation’s or the Operating Partnership’s subsequent performance.  
If the Performance Component is being calculated with respect to a year in which the Corporation completes a Liquidity Event, for purposes of determining the Annual Total Return Amount, the change in VPU shall be deemed to equal the difference between the Ending VPU as of the end of the prior calendar year and the value per OP Unit determined in connection with such Liquidity Event. In connection with a Listing, for purposes of determining the Annual Total Return Amount, the change in VPU shall be deemed to equal the difference between the Ending VPU as of the end of the prior calendar year and an amount equal to the market value of the listed shares based upon the average closing price or, if the average closing price is not available, the average of the bid and asked prices, for the 30-day period beginning 90 days after such Listing. Upon a Liquidity Event other than a Listing, for purposes of determining the Annual Total Return Amount, the change in VPU shall be deemed to equal the difference between the Ending VPU as of the end of the prior calendar year and an amount equal to the consideration per Fund Interest received by holders of Fund Interests in connection with such Liquidity Event. 
(iii)The Advisory Fee will accrue monthly. The Fixed Component is payable monthly in arrears, as described in Paragraph 9(a)(i) above.  The Performance Component with respect to any calendar year is payable after the completion of the NAV Calculations for December of such year.  The Fixed Component shall be payable for each month in which this Agreement is in effect, even if the Agreement is in effect for a partial month.  The Performance Component shall be payable for each calendar year in which this Agreement is in effect, even if the Agreement is in effect for a partial calendar year.  If the Advisory Fee is payable with respect to any partial calendar month or calendar year, then the Fixed Component shall be prorated based on the number of days elapsed during any partial calendar month and the Performance Component shall be calculated based on the annualized total return amount determined using the total return achieved for the period of such partial calendar year. In the event this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the partial period Fixed Component and Performance Component of the Advisory Fee shall be calculated and due and payable upon the Termination Date. In such event, for purposes of determining the Annual Total Return Amount, the change in VPU shall be determined based on a good faith estimate of what the NAV Calculations would be as of the Termination Date; provided, that, if this Agreement is terminated with respect to a Liquidity Event, the Performance Component will be due and payable in connection with such Liquidity Event and the Annual Total Return Amount shall be calculated as set forth in Paragraph 9(a)(ii) above.
(iv)In the event the Operating Partnership commences a liquidation of its Assets during any calendar year, the Advisor shall be paid the Advisory Fee from the proceeds of the liquidation and the Performance Component shall be calculated at the end of the liquidation period prior to the distribution of the liquidation proceeds to the Unitholders.  The calculation of 

16
​

​

the Performance Component for any partial year shall be calculated consistent with the applicable provisions of Paragraphs 9(a)(ii) and 9(a)(iii) above.
(v)The measurement of the change in VPU for the purpose of calculating the Annual Total Return Amount is subject to adjustment by the Board to account for any dividend, split, recapitalization or any other similar change in the Operating Partnership’s capital structure or any distributions that the Board deems to be a return of capital if such changes are not already reflected in the Operating Partnership’s net assets. 
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 9(a), upon the triggering of a Pro-Rata Period as defined in the Share Redemption Program, payment or distribution of the Performance Component shall be deferred until all share redemption requests under the Share Redemption Program are satisfied.
(b) Development Fee. The Advisor shall receive a Development Fee (defined below) with respect to each Real Property for which the Advisor provides Development Services (defined below) or Development Oversight Services (defined below), either in connection with the acquisition of such Real Property (including, without limitation, forward commitment acquisitions), the stabilization of such Real Property (including, without limitation, development or value add transactions), or both (any of the foregoing being “Development Real Properties”). In connection with providing services related to the development, construction, improvement or stabilization, including tenant improvements, of Development Real Properties (collectively, “Development Services”) or overseeing the provision of these services by third parties on behalf of the Corporation (“Development Oversight Services”), the fee (the “Development Fee”) will be an amount that will be equal to 4.0% of Total Project Cost of such Development Real Property (or the Corporation’s proportional interest therein with respect to Real Property held in Joint Ventures or other entities that are co-owned). If the Advisor engages a third party to provide Development Services directly to the Corporation, the third party shall be compensated directly by the Corporation, and the Advisor shall receive the Development Fee if it provides the Development Oversight Services. The total of all Development Fees and Acquisition Expenses paid by the Corporation with respect to any Real Property shall not exceed 6% of the Contract Purchase Price or the Total Project Cost (as applicable) of such Real Property unless Development Fees in excess of such amount are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors.
(c)  Property Accounting Fee.  The Advisor may provide Property Accounting Services for any Real Property owned by the Corporation or Real Property in which the Corporation otherwise has an interest, such as through a joint venture.  In exchange for Property Accounting Services provided by the Advisor, the Corporation shall pay the Advisor the difference between: (i) the property management fee charged with respect to each Real Property (the “Property Management Fee”), which reflects the market rate for all Real Property management services, including Property Accounting Services, based on rates charged for similar properties within the region or market in which the Real Property is located, and (ii) the amount actually paid to third-party property management firms for property management services, which excludes Property Accounting Services, which fee is based on an arms-length negotiation with a third-party property management service providers (the difference between (i) 

17
​

​

and (ii), the “Property Accounting Fee”). The tenant or tenants at each Real Property may reimburse the Corporation for all or a portion of the Property Management Fee.
(d)Third-Party Costs. The Advisor or its Affiliates may incur third-party costs in connection with the performance of applicable services pursuant to this Agreement, which third-party costs shall be separately reimbursed pursuant to Paragraph 10 hereof. 
(e)Fees for other Services. The Corporation may retain certain of the Advisor’s Affiliates from time to time, for services relating to its investments or its operations, which may include property management services, leasing services, corporate services, statutory services, transaction support services (including but not limited to coordinating with brokers, lawyers, accountants and other advisors, assembling relevant information, conducting financial and market analyses, and coordinating closing procedures), construction and development management, and loan management and servicing, and within one or more such categories, providing services in respect of asset and/or investment administration, accounting, technology, tax preparation, finance (including but not limited to budget preparation and preparation and maintenance of corporate models), treasury, operational coordination, risk management, insurance placement, human resources, legal and compliance, valuation and reporting-related services, as well as services related to mortgage servicing, group purchasing, healthcare, consulting/brokerage, capital markets/credit origination, property, title and/or other types of insurance, management consulting and other similar operational matters. Any fees paid to the Advisor’s affiliates for any such services will not reduce the Advisory Fees. Any such arrangements will be at market rates or reimbursement of costs.
(f)Loans from Affiliates. The Advisor or any Affiliate thereof may not make any loan to the Corporation or the Operating Partnership unless a majority of the Board of Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) approve the loan as being fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Corporation or the Operating Partnership than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.
(g)Exclusion of Certain Transactions. In the event the Corporation or the Operating Partnership shall propose to enter into any transaction with the Sponsor, the Advisor, a Director or any Affiliate thereof, then such transaction shall be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) as fair and reasonable to the Corporation.
(h)Payment in Shares or OP Units.  The fees due under this Paragraph 9 shall be paid in cash; provided, however, that in lieu of cash, the Advisor may elect to receive the payment of the fees due under this Paragraph 9 in any class of Shares or OP Units.  Any such Shares or OP Units shall be valued at the NAV per share applicable to such Shares or OP Units on the issue date.  Such shares shall not be subject to any early redemption deduction under the Corporation’s share redemption programs.
(i)  Equity Compensation.  The Corporation has adopted equity incentive plans, which are administered by the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, pursuant to which the Corporation makes certain equity awards to the Independent Directors as well as to 

18
​

​

advisors, consultants, and employees of the Advisor and its Affiliates.  Awards are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  
10. EXPENSES. 
(a) In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Paragraph 9 hereof and subject to the limitations set forth in this Paragraph 10 and in Paragraph 12 and contained in the Charter, the Corporation or the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with the services they provide to the Corporation and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

(xvi) audit, accounting and legal fees and other fees for professional services relating to the operations of the Corporation and all such fees incurred at the request, or on behalf of, the Independent Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors;

11. OTHER SERVICES. Should the Board of Directors request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Corporation and the Operating Partnership other than set forth in Paragraph 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent Directors of the Corporation, subject to the limitations contained in the Charter, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

20
​

​

 12. REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR. For any year in which the Corporation qualifies as a REIT, the Corporation shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter Total Operating Expenses that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year. Any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Corporation or, at the option of the Corporation, subtracted from the Total Operating Expenses reimbursed during the subsequent fiscal quarter unless a majority of the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, then the Excess Amount may be paid and within 60 days after the end of such Expense Year there shall be sent to the stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors. The Corporation will not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for services for which the Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. 
13. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any member, manager, director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association and earn fees for rendering such services. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Corporation is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein, and earn fees for rendering such advice and service. It is contemplated that the Corporation may enter into joint ventures or other similar co-investment arrangements with certain Persons, and pursuant to the agreements governing such joint ventures or arrangements, the Advisor may be engaged (directly or indirectly) to provide advice and service to such Persons, in which case the Advisor will earn fees for rendering such advice and service. The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that the Advisor may provide advice and render services to Persons that will compete with the Corporation for investments. 
The Advisor shall report to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the Corporation and its obligations to or its interest in any other partnership, corporation, limited liability company, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Board knowledge of such condition or circumstance. If the Advisor, its members, managers, directors, employees or Affiliates thereof have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as the Corporation, it shall be the duty of the Independent Directors to ensure that the Advisor and its Affiliates follow the method approved by the Independent Directors, by which investments are to be allocated to the competing investment entities and to use their reasonable efforts to ensure that such method is applied fairly to the Corporation. 

21
​

​

The Advisor shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Corporation which is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Corporation, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Corporation even if the opportunity is of character which, if presented to the Corporation, could be taken by the Corporation. In the event an investment opportunity is located, the allocation procedure set forth under the caption “Conflicts of Interest—Conflict Resolution Procedures” in any Prospectus (as such procedures may be amended from time to time by a majority of the Board, including the Independent Directors) shall govern the allocation of the opportunity among the Corporation and Affiliates of the Advisor. 
14. TERM; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force through and including April 30, 2023, subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. It is the duty of the Independent Directors to evaluate the performance of the Advisor annually before renewing the Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year. 
 
15. TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated (i) immediately by the Corporation and/or the Operating Partnership for Cause (subject to any applicable cure period), (ii) upon 60 days’ written notice without Cause and without penalty by a majority of the Independent Directors of the Corporation or by the Advisor, (iii) upon 60 days’ written notice with Good Reason by the Advisor or (iv) immediately by the Corporation and/or the Operating Partnership in connection with a merger, sale of Assets or transaction involving the Corporation pursuant to which a majority of the Directors then in office are replaced or removed. 
16. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate or Affiliates with the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Board of Directors. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Corporation or the Operating Partnership without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Corporation or the Operating Partnership to a corporation, limited partnership or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Corporation or the Operating Partnership, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Corporation and the Operating Partnership are bound by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement may not be assigned (as such term is defined in Section 205(a)(2) of the Advisers Act) or novated by the Advisor by operation of law or otherwise without consent as required under the Advisers Act; provided, that the Advisor may assign, subcontract, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates. 
17. PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISOR UPON TERMINATION. 
(a) After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation or the Operating Partnership within 30 days after the effective date of such termination: (i) subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraph 12 hereof and in the Charter, all unpaid reimbursements of 

22
​

​

expenses, including without limitation, subject to the limitation described in Paragraph 10(a)(i) hereof, any Organization and Offering Expenses that have not been reimbursed to the Advisor as of the Termination Date; and (ii) all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) In addition, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 12, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive any Excess Amount (as defined in Paragraph 12) for which the Independent Directors determined (before or after the Termination Date) that there was justification based on unusual and nonrecurring factors. 
(c) The Advisor shall promptly upon termination: 
(i) pay over to the Corporation and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of the Corporation and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled; 
(ii) deliver to the Board of Directors a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board of Directors; 
(iii) deliver to the Board of Directors all Assets and documents of the Corporation and the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Advisor; and 
(iv) cooperate with the Corporation and the Operating Partnership to provide an orderly management transition. 
18. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE CORPORATION AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Corporation and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective members, managers, officers, directors, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, including without limitation, any liabilities, claims, damages or losses arising under any agreements related to an Offering, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of Maryland or the Charter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation and the Operating Partnership may not indemnify or hold harmless the Advisor, its Affiliates, or any of their respective members, managers, officers, directors, partners or employees in any manner that would be inconsistent with the provisions of Section II.G of the NASAA REIT Guidelines. 
19. INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and the Operating Partnership from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are incurred by reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, gross misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties, but the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board of Directors in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor. 
 
20. NOTICES. Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is required by the Charter, the Bylaws, or accepted by the party to whom it is 

23

APTIV PLC
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
TIME-BASED RSU AWARD AGREEMENT
The Time-Based RSUs with respect to Shares of Aptiv PLC (the “Company”) granted to you on the Grant Date are subject to (1) the Notice of Award - Time-Based RSUs (the “Award Notice”), (2) this Time-Based RSU Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) and (3) the Confidentiality and Noninterference Agreement (the “CNA”), along with all of the terms and conditions of Aptiv PLC Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference.  For the sake of clarity, the Award is conditioned upon (and will not become effective unless and until) the Participant's execution and return of the CNA to your local HR business partner. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined in the Award Notice or this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan.  In the event of a conflict among the provisions of the Award Notice, this Agreement, the Plan or the CNA, the provisions of the Plan will prevail.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Employer” means the Company or any Affiliate that employs you on the applicable date.
Section 1.Grant of Award.  The Company hereby grants this Award to the Participant on the Grant Date and subject to the vesting provisions as set forth in the Award Notice.
Section 2.Vesting.  Subject to Sections 3 and 4 of the Agreement, one-third of the Time-Based RSUs shall vest on each of the Time-Based Vesting Dates.
Section 3.Termination of Service.
(a)Death; Disability; Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason.  If the Participant experiences a Termination of Service after the first Time-Based Vesting Date and prior to the Final Time-Based Vesting Date due to (i) death, (ii) Disability, (iii) termination by the Employer without Cause, (iv) resignation for Good Reason (each such circumstance being a “Qualifying Termination”), the Participant shall become vested in the number of Time-Based RSUs equal to (A) the number of unvested Time-Based RSUs as of such termination, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full months between the Time-Based Vesting Date that immediately precedes such termination and the termination date and the denominator of which shall be the number of full months between the Time-Based Vesting Date that immediately precedes such termination and the final Time-Based Vesting Date; provided, however, that, in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service due to the Participant’s death, subject to Section 18 of the Plan, the Company may elect to vest this Award effective on the date of the Participant's death, in which case the Time-Based RSUs shall be settled in Shares delivered to the Participant's estate or legal representative as soon as practicable following the date of the Participant's death but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year of the Participant's death. 
(b)Any Other Termination of Service.  In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service (i) prior to the first Time-Based Vesting Date for any reason or (ii) on or after the first Time-Based Vesting Date and prior to the Final Time-Based Vesting Date for any reason other than as described in Section 3(a) above, the Participant immediately shall forfeit the unvested portion of Time-Based RSUs without any payment to the Participant.
(c)Effective Date of Termination of Service.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, if the Participant is employed outside of the United States, any Termination of Service shall be effective as of the date the 
2

Participant’s active employment with the Employer ceases and shall not be extended by any statutory or common law notice of termination period. 
Section 4.Change in Control.  
(a)Conditional Vesting.  Upon a Change in Control prior to the final Time-Based Vesting Date, except to the extent that another Award meeting the requirements of Section 4(b) (a “Replacement Award”) is provided to the Participant to replace this Award (the “Replaced Award”), any unvested Time-Based RSUs shall vest in full and be delivered to the Participant on the effective date of such Change in Control.
(b)Replacement Awards.  An Award shall meet the conditions of this Section 4(b) (and thereby qualify as a Replacement Award) if the following conditions are met:
(i)The Award has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award;
(ii)The Award relates to publicly-traded equity securities of the Company or its successor following the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control; and  
(iii)The other terms and conditions of the Award are not less favorable to the Participant than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control and the provisions of Section 4(c)).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of a Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 4(b) are satisfied shall be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

(c)Qualifying Termination following a Change in Control.  If the Participant experiences a Qualifying Termination (for purposes of which the Company will include a successor of the Company following the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control), in connection with or during a period of two (2) years after the Change in Control, any Replacement Award that replaces this Award, to the extent not vested as of such Termination of Service, shall vest in full and all previously undelivered Shares shall be delivered to the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary) as soon as practicable and within thirty (30) days following the date of such Qualifying Termination. 
Section 5.Settlement of Time-Based RSUs.
(a)Delivery of Shares.  Subject to Sections 3 and 4 of the Agreement, any vested Time-Based RSUs shall be settled in the form of Shares delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the Time-Based Vesting Date but in no event later than 30 days following the Time-Based Vesting Date.
(b)Alternative Form of Settlement.  Pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Plan and notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle any Time-Based RSUs in the form of (i) a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares (1) is prohibited under local law, (2) would require the Participant, the Company or the Employer to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Participant’s country of residence (or country of employment, if different), (3) would result in adverse tax consequences for the Participant, the Company or the Employer, or (4) is administratively 
3

burdensome; or (ii) Shares, but require the Participant to sell such Shares immediately or within a specified period following the Participant’s Termination of Service (in which case, the Participant hereby expressly authorizes the Company to issue sales instructions on the Participant’s behalf to any third party broker/administrator). 
Section 6.Dividend Equivalents.  If a dividend is paid on Shares underlying Time-Based RSUs with respect to the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date on which the Shares in settlement of the Time-Based RSUs are delivered to the Participant, the Participant shall be eligible to receive an amount equal to the amount of the dividend that the Participant would have received had the Shares attributable to Time-Based RSUs been delivered to the Participant as of the time at which such dividend is paid, which amount shall be calculated and reinvested in additional Time-Based RSUs as of the time at which such dividend is paid.  No such amount shall be payable with respect to any portion of this Award that is forfeited pursuant to Section 3 of the Agreement.  Such amount shall be paid to the Participant in the form of additional Shares on the date on which the Shares attributable to Time-Based RSUs are delivered to the Participant; provided that the Committee retains the discretion to pay such amount in cash rather than Time-Based RSUs in the event that an insufficient number of Shares are authorized and available for issuance under the Plan.  Any Shares attributable to Time-Based RSUs that the Participant is eligible to receive pursuant to this Section 6 are referred to herein as “Dividend Shares”.
Section 7.Withholding of Tax-Related Items.
(a)Responsibility for Taxes.  The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Employer, the ultimate liability for the all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of this Award, the subsequent sale of Shares attributable to Time-Based RSUs or Dividend Shares acquired pursuant to such and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents, and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s responsibility for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Tax Withholding.  Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company, the Employer or an agent of the Company or the Employer to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: 
(i)The Company may withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise issuable in settlement of this Award (or, in the case of Awards settled in cash, a portion of the cash proceeds) that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld (as determined by the Company in good faith and in its sole discretion) with respect to this Award.  For purposes of the foregoing, no fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to the vesting of this Award and the issuance of Shares or cash thereunder.
4

(ii)The Company or the Employer may withhold a portion of the sales proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to this Award either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company or the Employer (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent). 
(iii)The Company or the Employer may withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from the Participant’s salary or other amounts payable to the Participant. 
(iv)The Company or Employer may require the Participant to submit a cash payment equivalent to the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to this Award.  
(v)The Company or the Employer may satisfy the Tax-Related Items by such other methods or combinations of methods as the Company or the Employer may make available from time to time. 
Depending on the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable withholding rates (as determined by the Company in good faith and its sole discretion), including maximum applicable tax rates.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding from the Shares to be delivered upon settlement of this Award, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back for the purpose of paying Tax-Related Items. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied, no Shares or cash will be issued to the Participant (or the Participant’s estate) in settlement of this Award unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) have been made by the Participant with respect to the payment of any such Tax-Related Items.  By accepting the grant of this Award, the Participant expressly consents to the methods of withholding of Tax-Related Items as provided hereunder.  All other Tax-Related Items related to this Award and any Shares or cash delivered in settlement thereof are the Participant’s sole responsibility.
(c)Tax Withholding for Section 16 Officers.  If the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company will withhold Shares upon the settlement of Time-Based RSUs to cover any withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items unless the use of such withholding method is prohibited or problematic under applicable laws or otherwise may trigger adverse consequences to the Company or the Employer, in which case the obligation to withhold Tax-Related Items shall be satisfied by the Participant submitting a payment to the Company equal to the amount of the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld.
Section 8.Additional Terms and Conditions.  
(a)Issuance of Shares.  Upon delivery of Shares in settlement of the Time-Based RSU Shares and, if applicable, any Dividend Shares, such Shares shall be evidenced by book-entry registration; provided, however, that the Committee may determine that such Shares shall be evidenced in such other manner as it deems appropriate, including the issuance of a share certificate or certificates.  Any such fractional Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Share.
(b)Voting Rights.  The Participant shall not have voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying the Time-Based RSUs or, if applicable, any Dividend Shares unless and until such Shares are delivered to the Participant.

Section 9.Data Privacy.  The Company is located at 5 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2,  Ireland, and grants Time-Based RSUs under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Time-Based RSUs under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices. In accepting the grant of the Time-Based RSUs, the Participant expressly and explicitly consents to the personal data activities as described herein.
(a)Data Collection, Processing and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses the Participant’s personal data, including the Participant’s name, home address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Stock Units or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant or the Employer. In granting the Time-Based RSUs under the Plan, the Company will collect the Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of the Participant’s personal data is the Participant’s consent.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Participant’s personal data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States of America, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”).  In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Participant’s personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner.  The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan.  The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers.  The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States of America.  The Participant should note that the Participant’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States of America. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s personal data to the United States of America is the Participant’s consent.
(d)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. The Participant’s participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent is purely voluntary.  The Participant may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time.  If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later withdraws his or her consent, the Participant may be unable to participate in the Plan.  This would not affect the Participant’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Participant merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(e)Data Subjects Rights. The Participant may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country of residence.  For example, the Participant’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s personal data.  To receive clarification regarding the Participant’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Participant should contact the Employer's local human resources department, or contact Aptiv Privacy Office (privacy@aptiv.com) for further information on how Aptiv processes your data.

No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or different nature.

(g)Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
(h)Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights.  The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and limited in duration, and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time.  The grant of this Award under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive an award or benefits in lieu of an award in the future.  Future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of the award, the number of Time-Based RSUs subject to the award, and the vesting provisions applicable to the award.
(i)Extraordinary Item of Compensation.  The Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary.  The value of this Award under the Plan is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Participant’s employment (and the Participant’s employment contract, if any).  As such, this Award under the Plan is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments.  The grant of this Award does not create a right to employment and shall not be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company or the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment or service relationship.  
(j)Participant Undertaking.  By accepting this Award, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant has executed a CNA and agrees to take whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable to carry out or give effect to any of the obligations or restrictions imposed on the Participant pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement.
(k)Compliance with Law.  As a condition to the Company's grant of this Award, the Participant agrees to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and cash acquired under the Plan in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  In addition, the Participant also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Affiliates, as may be required to allow the Company and its Affiliates to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant’s personal legal, regulatory and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).
(l)Electronic Delivery.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to deliver any documents related to this Award granted to the Participant by electronic means.  By accepting 
8

this Award, the Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees 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.
(m)EU Age Discrimination Rules.  If the Participant is a local national of and employed in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the Award and the terms and conditions governing the Award are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”).  To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of the Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.
(n)Insider Trading and Market Abuse Laws.  Depending on the Participant’s country of residence (or country of employment, if different) or where the Shares are listed, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company or its business (as defined by the laws of the Participant’s country of residence or employment, as applicable).  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before the Participant possessed inside information.  Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties (including other employees of the Company and its Affiliates) or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and that the Participant should consult with the Participant's personal advisor on this matter. 
(o)English Language.

EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”), EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”) AND UNITED KINGDOM

Data Privacy.  If the Participant resides and/or is employed in the EU, EEA or United Kingdom, the following provision replaces Section 9 of the Agreement:
Data Privacy.  The Company is located at 5 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2,  Ireland, and grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices, which the Participant should carefully review.
(a)Data Collection, Processing and Usage.  Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Participant is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes, and uses certain 
12

personally-identifiable information about the Participant; specifically, including the Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant or the Employer. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will collect the Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  The Company collects, processes and uses the Participant’s personal data pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing the Plan and generally administering employee equity awards and to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of the Agreement. The Participant’s refusal to provide personal data may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, the Participant voluntarily acknowledges the collection, processing and use of the Participant’s personal data as described herein.
(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider.  The Company transfers participant data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States of America, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”).  In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Participant’s personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers.  The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States of America. The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to the Participant if the Participant’s personal data is transferred to the United States of America. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s personal data to the United States of America is to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of the Agreement and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.
(d)Data Retention.  The Company will use the Participant’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Participant’s personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems.  If the Company keeps the Participant’s data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.
(e)Data Subjects Rights.  The Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Participant’s country of residence. For example, the Participant’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s personal data.  To receive clarification regarding the Participant’s rights or to exercise the Participant's rights, the Participant should contact the Employer's local human resources department, or contact Aptiv Privacy Office (privacy@aptiv.com) for further information on how Aptiv processes your data.

The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will be required to immediately repatriate to the PRC the proceeds from the sale of any Shares acquired under the Plan, as well as any other cash amounts attributable to the Shares acquired under the Plan (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”).

The Cash Proceeds may be paid to the Participant in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion.  If the Cash Proceeds are paid to the Participant in U.S. dollars, the Participant understands that a U.S. dollar bank account must be established and maintained in China by the Participant so that the proceeds may be deposited into such account.  If the Cash Proceeds are paid to the Participant in local currency, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the Cash Proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions.  The Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares acquired pursuant to the Award or Dividend Shares are sold and the Cash Proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to the Participant.  The Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Employer, the Company and its Affiliates in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in the PRC.

If any Shares remain outstanding six months following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service (or such earlier date as may be required by SAFE), the Participant hereby directs, instructs and authorizes the Company to issue sale instructions on the Participant’s behalf.
The Participant agrees to sign any additional agreements, forms and/or consents that reasonably may be requested by the Company (or a third party broker/administrator) to effectuate the sale of the Shares (including, without limitation, as to the transfer of the sale proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters. The Participant acknowledges that neither the Company nor the designated third party broker/administrator is under any obligation to arrange for such sale of Shares at any particular price (it being understood that the sale will occur in the market) and that third party broker/administrator’s fees and similar expenses may be incurred in any such sale.  In any event, when the Shares are sold, the sale proceeds, less any tax withholding, any broker’s fees or commissions, and any similar expenses of the sale will be remitted to the Participant in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations.

SINGAPORE
Qualifying Person Exemption.  The grant of this Award under the Plan is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2011 Ed.) (“SFA”).  The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.  The Participant should note that, as a result, this Award is subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Participant will not be able to make (a) any subsequent sale of the Shares underlying the Award or Dividend Shares in Singapore or (ii) any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares underlying the Award or Dividend Shares subject to this Award in  Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA (Chapter 289, 2011 Ed.).
Director Notification.

If the Participant is the chief executive officer (“CEO”) of a Singapore Affiliate of the Company and the above notification requirements are determined to apply to the CEO of a Singapore Affiliate, the above notification requirements also may apply.
SPAIN
No Entitlement for Claims or Compensation.  By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan.  The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Employer, the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any Awards will not economically or otherwise bind the Employer, the Company or its Affiliates on an ongoing basis.  Consequently, the Participant understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and the Shares acquired upon settlement shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Employer, the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  In addition, the Participant understands that grant of Awards would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of Awards shall be null and void.
Further, the vesting of the Award is expressly conditioned on the Participant’s continued and active rendering of service, such that if the Participant’s status as an employee terminates for any reason whatsoever, the Award may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of the Participant ceases to be an employee.  This will be the case, for example, even if (a) the Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (b) the Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (c) the Participant ceases to be an employee due to a change of work location, duties or any other 
20

employment or contractual condition; (d) the Participant ceases to be an employee due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Employer, the Company or its Affiliate or (e) the Participant ceases to be an employee for any other reason whatsoever.  Consequently, once the Participant ceases to be an employee any of the above reasons, the Participant may automatically lose any rights to the Award that were not vested on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.
The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in Section 8(h) of the Agreement.
Securities Law Information.  No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the grant of the Award.  The Agreement has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

In case of Termination of Service of the Participant triggering the payment of severance costs under applicable law, the Award shall not be taken into account in the calculation of such severance costs, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Without limiting the Company’s and the Employer’s authority to satisfy their withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items as set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement, in accepting the grant of the Award, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to withhold Shares or to sell Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant upon vesting/settlement to satisfy Tax-Related Items, regardless of whether the Company and/or the Employer have an obligation to withhold such Tax-Related Items.

Taxes.  The following provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement: 
The Participant hereby agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or (if different) the Employer or by Her Majesty Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).  The Participant also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and (if different) Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Participant’s behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).  For the purposes of this Award Agreement, Tax-Related Items include (without limitation) employment income tax, employee National Insurance contributions and the employee portion of the Health and Social Care levy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the Participant understands that the Participant will not be able to indemnify the Company for the amount of any income tax not collected from or paid by the Participant within 90 days after the end of the tax year in which the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs, as it may be considered to be a loan and, therefore, it may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions (“NICs”) may be payable.  The Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer, as applicable, for the amount of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit which may be obtained from the Participant by the Company or the Employer by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Award Agreement. 
If the Participant fails to comply with the Participant's obligations in connection with the income tax as described in this section, the Company may refuse to deliver the Shares subject to the Award.
Exclusion of Claim.  The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Participant ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Award, whether or not as a result of termination of employment (whether the termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Award.  Upon the grant of the Award, the Participant will be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.
