(iii) the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall terminate by reason of the Participant’s death or the Participant has a Disability, the Participant shall Vest in a number of Performance Shares equal to the Target Number of Performance Shares subject to this Agreement; provided, however, that if there is a Replacement Award for which it has been determined pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) that the Participant shall Vest in a number of Performance Shares based on actual performance through the most recent date prior to the Change of Control for achievement of Performance Targets can reasonably be determined and the Participant’s death or Disability occurs following a Change of Control, then the Participant shall Vest in such greater number of Performance Shares determined based on actual performance instead of the Target Number of Performance Shares subject to this Agreement. (iv) the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall terminate for Cause or any reason other than as described in Section 2(b)(i), Section 2(b)(ii) or Section 2(b)(iii) prior to the Vesting Date, then all Performance Shares, whether Vested or unvested prior to the Vesting Date, shall be immediately forfeited without further consideration to the Participant.

(c) Accelerated Vesting in Connection with a Change of Control. (i) If a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, and the Participant has been in Continuous Employment between the Date of Grant and the date of such Change of Control, then the Participant shall Vest in a number of Performance Shares equal to the greater of (A) the number of Performance Shares in which the Participant would Vest based on actual performance through the most recent date prior to the Change of Control for which achievement of Performance Targets can reasonably be determined, as certified by the Committee as constituted immediately prior to the Change of Control and (B) the Target Number of Performance Shares subject to this Agreement, rounded to the nearest whole number of Performance Shares, except to the extent that (I) such Performance Shares have previously been forfeited, or (II) a Replacement Award is provided to the Participant to replace, continue or adjust the outstanding Performance Shares (the “Replaced Award”). (ii) If a Change of Control occurs after the end of the Performance Period but before the Committee Determination Date, then all Performance Shares earned based on performance (to be measured on or prior to the date of the Change of Control) will become fully Vested, except to the extent that (A) such Performance Shares have previously been forfeited, or (B) a Replacement Award is provided to the Participant to replace, continue or adjust the outstanding Performance Shares. (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, (x) within a period of two years following a Change of Control, the Participant’s employment with the Company, a

Subsidiary or any of its or their successors after the Change of Control (as applicable, the “Successor Company”) is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason or by the Successor Company other than for Cause prior to the Vesting Date or (y) at any time following a Change of Control, the Participant’s employment terminates due to Early Retirement or Normal Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, then to the extent that the Replacement Award has not previously been Vested or forfeited, the Replacement Award will become fully Vested (and become entitled to settlement as specified in Section 3(b)(i)). (iv) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Replacement Award” means an award (A) of the same type as the Replaced Award (i.e., restricted stock or restricted stock units) but with any remaining performance conditions of the Replaced Award deemed satisfied at the greater of (I) the actual level of performance as of the Change of Control, if reasonably measurable, and (II) the target level of performance, in each case without proration, and subject to continued service through the Vesting Date, (B) that has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award, including at the deemed level of performance as determined in clause (A) above, as applicable, (C) that relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Successor Company in the Change of Control (or another entity that is affiliated with the Successor Company following the Change of Control), (D) the tax consequences of which for such Participant under the Code, if the Participant is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, are not less favorable to the Participant than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award, and (E) the other terms and conditions of which 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 of control). A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or ceasing to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding two sentences are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 2(c)(iv) are satisfied will be made in good faith by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change of Control, in its sole discretion. (v) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means: (A) any material failure of the Successor Company to comply with and satisfy any of the terms of any employment or change in control (or similar) agreement between the Successor Company and the Participant pursuant to which the Participant provides services to the Successor Company; (B) any significant involuntary reduction of the authority, duties or responsibilities held by the Participant immediately prior to the Change of Control (and, for the avoidance of doubt, involuntary removal of the Participant from an officer position that the Participant holds immediately prior to the Change of Control will not, by itself, constitute a significant involuntary reduction of the authority, duties or responsibilities held by the Participant immediately prior to the Change of Control); (C) any material involuntary reduction in the aggregate target cash remuneration opportunity of the Participant as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control; or (D) requiring the Participant to become based at any office or location more than 50 miles from the office or location at which the Participant was based immediately prior to such Change of Control, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of the Participant’s responsibilities; provided, however, that no termination shall be deemed to be for Good Reason unless (I) the Participant provides the Successor Company with written notice setting forth the specific facts or circumstances constituting Good Reason within ninety days after the initial existence of the occurrence of such facts or circumstances, (II) the Successor Company fails to cure such facts or circumstances within thirty days of its receipt of such written notice, and (III) the Participant actually terminates employment within thirty days following the end of the Successor Company’s thirty-day cure period, if such event or circumstance has not been cured. (vi) If a Replacement Award is provided, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any outstanding Performance Shares which at the time of the Change of Control are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) will be deemed to be Vested at the time of such Change of Control (and such Vested Performance Shares shall be settled in accordance with Section

3(b)(ii) below). (d) Forfeiture of Performance Shares. Subject to Section 2(b)(iv), any Performance Shares that have not Vested pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b), or Section 2(c) will be forfeited automatically and without further notice (including if the Participant ceases to be in Continuous Employment prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than as described in Section 2(b) or Section 2(c)). 3. Settlement of Performance Shares. (a) Normal. Subject to Section 3(b), the Company will issue to the Participant one share of Stock for each earned Performance Share as soon as practicable following the later of (x) the Committee Determination Date and (y) the Vesting Date, but in no event later than 60 days following the later such time (the “Payment Date”). (b) Other Settlement Events.

If there are such Vested Performance Shares upon the Participant’s Separation from Service following a Change of Control pursuant to Section 2(c)(iii) hereof, within thirty days of the Participant’s Separation from Service, one share of Stock will be issued for each such Vested Performance Share; provided, that such Change of Control qualifies as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If such Change of Control does not qualify, the Participant is entitled to receive the corresponding payment on the date that would have otherwise applied pursuant to Section 3 as though such Change of Control had not occurred. (ii) Change of Control. If there are such Vested Performance Shares upon a Change of Control, one share of Stock will be issued for each such Vested Performance Share as of the date of the Change of Control; provided, however, that if such Change of Control would not qualify as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, and where Section 409A of the Code applies to such distribution, the Participant is entitled to receive the corresponding payment on the date that would have otherwise applied pursuant to Section 3 as though such Change of Control had not occurred. (iii) Death. If there are such Vested Performance Shares upon the Participant’s termination due to such Participant’s death pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, one share of Stock will be issued for each such Vested Performance Share within thirty days of the date of the termination. (iv) Disability. If there are such Vested Performance Shares upon the occurrence of a Participant’s Disability pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, one share of Stock will be issued for each such Vested Performance Share within sixty days of the occurrence of such Disability. (c) Payment of Taxes Upon Settlement. As a condition of the issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of Performance Shares hereunder, the Participant agrees to remit to the Company at the time of settlement any taxes or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, under Federal, State or local law as a result of the settlement of the Performance Shares. As a condition of the issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of Performance Shares hereunder, the Participant agrees that the Company will deduct from the total shares to be issued as a result of the Vesting of the Performance Shares a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the required statutory withholding amount, which may exceed the minimum statutory tax withholding amount only if it would not cause adverse accounting or tax consequences for the Company or a Subsidiary. (d) Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything (including any provision of the Agreement or the Plan) to the contrary, if a Participant is a Specified Employee and if the Performance Shares are subject to Section 409A of the Code, payment to the Participant on account of a Separation from Service shall, to the extent required to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2), be made to the Participant on the earlier of (i) the Participant’s death or (ii) the first business day (or within 30 days after such first business day) that is more than six months after the date of Separation from Service. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Participant shall not be considered to have

terminated employment with the Company or any Subsidiary for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A of the Code until the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service. In the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, interest may be paid due to such delay. Further, any interest will be calculated in the manner determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion in a manner that qualifies any interest as reasonable earnings under Section 409A of the Code. Dividend equivalents will not be paid with respect to any dividends that would have been paid during the delay if the Stock had been issued. To the extent required for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each installment that vests under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 4. Non-Transferability of Performance Shares. The Performance Shares may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in any manner (otherwise than by will or the laws of descent or distribution) nor may the Participant enter into any transaction for the purpose of, or which has the effect of, reducing the market risk of holding the Performance Shares by using puts, calls or similar financial techniques. The Performance Shares subject to this Agreement may be settled during the lifetime of the Participant only with the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

The Company will not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock or any certificate or certificates for shares of Stock with respect to the Participant’s Performance Shares until such shares have been listed (or authorized for listing upon official notice of issuance) upon each stock exchange on which outstanding shares of the same class are then listed and until the Company has taken such steps as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be required by law and applicable regulations, including the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and state securities laws and regulations, in connection with the issuance of such shares, and the listing of such shares on each such exchange. 6. Rights as Stockholder. The Participant or the Participant’s Successors shall have no rights as stockholder with respect to any Performance Shares or underlying shares covered by this Agreement until the Participant or the Participant’s Successors shall have become the beneficial owner of such shares on the Payment Date. 7. Dividend Equivalents. Upon the payment of earned Performance Shares as of the Payment Date, the Participant shall receive additional shares of Stock equal in value to the accrued dividend equivalents. The amount of dividend equivalents for each Performance Share earned shall equal the dividends paid on one share of Stock for each dividend whose record date occurs during the period between the Date of Grant and the Payment Date. Such dividend equivalents (if any) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, and shall be paid, or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time, as the Performance Shares to which the dividend equivalents were credited. 8. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Change of Control.

By electronically accepting this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant has either already entered into such Confidentiality Agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary as of the date of acceptance or will enter into such agreement within 30 days of the Participant’s receipt of this grant of Performance Shares. If such execution is required and the Participant does not sign and return the Confidentiality Agreement as prompted by the Workday HR system within 30 days of the Participant’s receipt of this grant of Performance Shares, this grant of Performance Shares and any rights to the Performance Shares will terminate and become null and void. The Participant further acknowledges that as consideration for the Participant’s agreement to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company is providing the Participant with the opportunity to participate in this grant of Performance Shares under the Plan and receive the Performance Shares evidenced by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Agreement or otherwise limits the Participant’s right to any monetary award offered by a government-administered whistleblower award program for providing information directly to a government agency (including the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) and (ii) nothing in this Agreement prevents the Participant from providing, without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and, for purpose of clarity, the Participant is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Act. Furthermore, the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”) provides that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any

federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, the DTSA provides that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. 19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to that state’s conflict of laws rules. The Participant agrees that the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware, without regard to or application or conflict of laws principles, will have jurisdiction in any action, suit or proceeding against the Participant on or arising out of this Agreement, and the Participant hereby: (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process in connection with any action, suit or proceeding against the Participant; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction, venue or service of process. The Participant agrees that this Section 19 is necessary so that the Company has uniformity with respect to interpretation of this Agreement for all participants, no matter where they may reside. 20.
