GRANTEE: TRITON INTERNATIONAL LIMITED: By: Title:


 
Triton International Limited Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan Exhibit to Notice of Restricted Share Grant with Effective Date of [ ] Performance Period: [ ] to [ ] Performance-based compensation criteria for Restricted Share grants The number of performance-based Restricted Shares that will vest will be based on the attainment of the performance criteria set forth for Relative Total Shareholder Return and Adjusted Return on Equity for the Performance Period. Performance criteria will be weighted equally between the results attained for Relative Total Shareholder Return and Adjusted Return on Equity. 1. 50% - Relative Total Shareholder Return. Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) is a rate of return reflecting stock price appreciation, plus reinvested dividends and distributions in additional shares of stock, taking into account stock splits or other similar events (as applicable), from the beginning of the Performance Period through the end of the Performance Period. The following peer companies will be used for calculating the Relative TSR component: [Peer group companies and weightings to be included.] The payout for the Relative TSR component will range from 50% to [150] [200]% of target based on the ranking of the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the applicable peer group established hereunder (the “Peer Group”) over the applicable Performance Period. For this purpose, stock prices at the beginning and end of the Performance Period will be determined using the volume weighted average trading price for the 90-day period ending on each such date, as applicable. The table below summarizes the Relative TSR component payout level as a percent of target based on the Company’s TSR rank. Performance Level* TSR Rank Attained % of Target Payout Threshold 25th percentile or below 50 Target 50th percentile 100 Maximum 75th percentile or above [150] [200] *Results that fall between performance levels will be interpolated on a straight-line basis.


 
In the event of a tie between the Company and a member of the Peer Group in TSR ranking for a Performance Period (including TSR rankings within 1/10th of one percent), the Company will be ranked above the applicable member of the Peer Group for the applicable Performance Period. 2. 50% - Adjusted Return on Equity. Adjusted Return on Equity (“ROE”) will be calculated as the average for each of the quarters in the Performance Period of (a) the Company’s reported annualized adjusted net income applicable to the Company’s common shareholders, divided by (b) the average of the Company’s beginning and ending common shareholders’ equity as reported under GAAP. The table below summarizes the ROE component payout level as a percent of target based on the Company’s ROE attained for the Performance Period. Performance Level* ROE Attained % of Target Payout Threshold [ ]% or less 50 Target [ ]% 100 Maximum [ ]% or more [150] [200] *Results that fall between performance levels will be interpolated on a straight-line basis. Payout levels for the TSR and ROE components will be averaged to determine the final payout under the performance-based Restricted Shares. The Committee (as defined in the Plan) shall make all determinations necessary or appropriate to determine the number of performance-based Restricted Shares that may vest. In particular, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, make adjustments to the results or ROE target levels as it deems appropriate to take into account significant capital allocation actions during the Performance Period. Any adjustments or determinations by the Committee with respect to the performance-based Restricted Shares will be binding on Grantee and all interested parties. In the event the number of performance-based Restricted Shares under this exhibit is not a whole number, then the final number of performance-based Restricted Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

For the duration of the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall not (A) directly or indirectly, in one or a series of transactions, recruit, solicit or otherwise induce or influence any proprietor, partner, shareholder, member, lender, director, officer, employee, sales agent, lessor, customer, supplier, agent, representative or any other Person which has a business relationship with the Company or a Related Company or had a business relationship with the Company or a Related Company within the twenty-four (24) month period preceding the date of the incident in question (other than a customer or supplier who has a business relationship with the Grantee’s new employer (if any)), to discontinue, reduce or modify such employment, agency or business relationship with the Company or a Related Company, or (B) employ or seek to employ or cause any Competitive Business to employ or seek to employ any Person who is then (or was at any time within twelve (12) months prior to the date such Grantee or the Competitive Business employs or seeks to employ such Person) employed or retained by the Company or a Related Company; and (c) CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

At the request of the Company, the Grantee agrees to deliver to the Company all Confidential Information which the Grantee may possess or control. The Grantee agrees that all Confidential Information of the Company and Related Companies (whether now or hereafter existing) conceived, discovered or made by him or her during his or her employment with the Company or its Related Companies exclusively belongs to the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (and not to the Grantee).

Regardless of any action by the Company or the Employer, Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related-Items associated with the Restricted Shares is and remains Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld, and 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 the Restricted Shares, including the grant of the Restricted Shares, the vesting of the Restricted Shares, the subsequent sale of the Shares acquired and the receipt of any dividends and return of capital distributions; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of Restricted Shares to reduce or eliminate Grantee’s liability for Tax Related-Items. Further, if Grantee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, Grantee acknowledges 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. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or Grantee's regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to Grantee, no Shares will be issued to Grantee unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by Grantee with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to the Restricted Shares.

The collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Grantee’s personal data as described in this Award Agreement and any other Restricted Share award materials will be in accordance with the Employer’s data protection notice (the “Employer Data Protection Notice”), where applicable. Such personal data may be collected, used and transferred by and among, as applicable, the Company, the Employer, any member of the Group and any third parties assisting (presently or in the future) with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

Such requirements may include requiring Grantee to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be


 
Page 8 of 13 necessary to accomplish the foregoing. (h) INSIDER TRADING RESTRICTIONS/MARKET ABUSE LAWS. Grantee acknowledges that, depending on his or her country of residence, the broker’s country of establishment, or where the Shares are listed, Grantee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect Grantee’s ability to, directly or indirectly, accept, acquire, sell, or attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, or rights linked to the value of Shares, during such times as Grantee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws and/or regulations in the applicable jurisdictions or Grantee's country of residence). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Grantee places before possessing the inside information. Furthermore, Grantee may 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 to otherwise buy or sell securities. 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. Grantee is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter. (i) EXCHANGE CONTROLS; FOREIGN ASSET/ACCOUNT REPORTING. Grantee acknowledges that Grantee's country of residence may have certain exchange controls, foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements that may affect Grantee’s ability to acquire or hold Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside Grantee's country of residence. Grantee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in Grantee's country of residence. Grantee also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other cash received as a result of Grantee’s participation in the Plan to Grantee's country of residence through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. Grantee acknowledges that it is Grantee’s responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and Grantee should consult with Grantee’s personal legal advisor for any details. (j) NOTICE. Any notice required by the terms of this Award Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to Grantee at the address that he or she most recently provided in writing to the Company. (k) CHOICE OF LAW; VENUE.

For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or the Award Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of New York, USA, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of New York, NY, or the federal courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York. (l) COUNTERPARTS. This Award Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (which may be electronic), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. (m) MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT. This Award Agreement may only be modified or amended by written agreement executed by the parties hereto (which may be electronic); provided, however, that the adjustments permitted pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Plan may be made without such written agreement.


 
Page 9 of 13 (n) SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of this Award Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Award Agreement, and this Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had not been included. (o) AWARD SUBJECT TO COMPANY CLAWBACK POLICY. The Restricted Shares shall be subject to clawback or recoupment pursuant to any compensation clawback or recoupment policy adopted (or that may be adopted) by the Board, as may be amended from time to time, or required by law during the term of Grantee’s employment or other service that is applicable to Grantee. (p) NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan or in this Award Agreement shall confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company, a parent or any subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company, parent or any subsidiary, which is hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or discharge Grantee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause and with or without advance notice. (q) SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE. This Section 5(q) may not apply if Grantee is not a U.S. taxpayer. The Restricted Shares are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A and this Award Agreement shall be interpreted, administered and operated accordingly. To the extent that any provision in this Award Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Code Sections 409A or 457A, the provision shall be interpreted in a manner so that no payment due to Grantee shall be deemed subject to an “additional tax” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B). The Company does not guarantee the tax treatment of any payments under this Award Agreement, including under the Code, federal, state, local or foreign tax laws and regulations. (r) COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement, unless there is an exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares issuable upon settlement of the Restricted Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. Grantee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares.

Page 10 of 13 APPENDIX COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR GRANTEES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the meanings set forth in the Plan, the Notice of Restricted Share Grant and the Award Agreement. Terms and Conditions This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Shares granted under the Plan if Grantee resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If Grantee is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which Grantee is currently residing and/or working, or if Grantee relocates to another country after the grant of the Restricted Shares, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the special terms and conditions contained herein are applicable. Notifications This Appendix may also include information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Grantee should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2021. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Grantee not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Restricted Shares vest or Grantee sells Shares acquired under the Plan. In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to Grantee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Grantee of a particular result. Accordingly, Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Grantee's country of residence may apply to his or her situation. Finally, if Grantee is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which Grantee is currently residing and/or working, or if Grantee relocates to another country after the Restricted Shares are granted, the notifications contained herein may no longer be applicable to Grantee.

(e) International Data Transfers. Certain of the Company’s operations, including its internal stock plan administration, and its service providers are based in the United States, which means that it will be necessary for Data to be transferred to, and processed in, the United States. The legal basis for the transfer of Data to the Company and its third-party service providers is the necessity of such transfer for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under this Award Agreement and for the Company’s legitimate business interests of implementing and managing the Plan and generally administering employee equity awards. (f) Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, securities and labor laws. This means Data may be retained after Grantee’s employment is terminated. (g) Data Subject Rights. Grantee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in Grantee’s jurisdiction.

To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Grantee can contact his or her local human resources representative. (h) Contractual Requirement. Where necessary, Grantee’s provision of Data and its processing as described above is a contractual requirement for Grantee to participate in the Plan. Grantee’s participation in the Plan and Grantee’s acceptance of the Restricted Shares is purely voluntary. Grantee can refuse to provide Data, as a result of which Grantee will not be able to participate in the Plan, but Grantee’s career and salary will not be affected in any way.

The following provisions supplement Section 5(a) of this Award Agreement: Without limitation to Section 5(a) of this Award Agreement, Grantee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company, the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs’ (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). Grantee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold on or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on Grantee’s behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is an executive officer or director (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In such case, if the amount of any income tax due is not collected from or paid by Grantee within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute an additional benefit to Grantee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. Grantee 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 reimbursing the Company and/or the Employer for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or the Employer may recover at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 5(a) of this Award Agreement. ************************************
