The Company may make one or more additional grants of Restricted Stock Units to the Participant under this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement by providing the Participant with a new grant notice, which may also include any terms and conditions differing from this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to the extent provided therein.

With respect to any Restricted Stock Unit, the period of time on and prior to the applicable vesting date in which such Restricted Stock Unit is subject to vesting shall be its Restricted Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock as contemplated by this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement unless and until such issuance or transfer complies with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock are listed for trading.

THE PARTICIPANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST SUCH PARTICIPANT IN RESPECT OF THE PARTICIPANT’S RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.
18.Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (including the Grant Notice), the Plan shall govern and control.
19.Section 409A. It is intended that the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall be exempt from Section 409A of the Code pursuant to the “short-term deferral” rule applicable to such section, as set forth in the regulations or other guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee will have the right to amend the terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and/or the Grant Notice in any respect as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with Section 409A of the Code, including without limitation by delaying the issuance of the shares of Common Stock contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Company and its respective officers, directors, employees, or agents make no guarantee that the terms of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement as written comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, and none of the foregoing shall have any liability for the failure of the terms of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement as written to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the code and (ii) if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, no payments in respect of any Awards that are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code and which would otherwise be payable upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be made to such Participant prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of such
4



Participant’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. Following any applicable six (6) month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest date permitted under Section 409A of the Code that is also a business day. Each payment in a series of payments hereunder will be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
20.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

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.

Appendix A

Vesting Schedule
Provided that the Participant has not undergone a Termination as of the applicable Vesting Date (as defined below), the Restricted Stock Units will vest based on achievement of the Performance Conditions set forth below with respect to the Performance Period specified in the Grant Notice.
1.Performance Condition:
The number of Restricted Stock Units that are eligible to vest on each Vesting Date will be based on the achievement of the Performance Conditions set forth below during the Performance Period:
Performance ConditionPerformance Condition WeightThreshold Level of AchievementTarget Level of Achievement
2021 Adjusted EBITDA1/3
[●]
[●]
2021 Net Cash1/3
[●]
[●]
2021 Total Subscribers1/3
[●]
[●]

2.Calculation of Number of Vested Restricted Stock Units:

Level of AchievementPercentage of Target Award Earned
Below Threshold0%
Threshold80%
Target100%
Above Target100%

If actual performance with respect to a Performance Condition is between the “Threshold” and the “Target” levels of achievement, the Percentage of Target Award Earned with respect to such Performance Condition shall be determined using linear interpolation (and rounded to the nearest whole percentage point) between such numbers. In the event that actual performance does not meet the “Threshold” level of achievement with respect to the applicable Performance Condition, the “Percentage of Target Award Earned” with respect to such Performance Condition shall be zero percent (0%). To determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that are eligible to vest (the “Earned PSUs”), the following formula shall be used:
Total Number of Restricted Stock Units * 1/3 * (Percentage of Target Award Earned with Respect to 2021 Adjusted EBITDA Performance Condition + Percentage of Target Award Earned with Respect to 2021 Net Cash Performance Condition + Percentage of Target Award Earned with Respect to 2021 Total Subscriber Performance Condition).

All determinations with respect to whether and the extent to which any Performance Condition has been achieved shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. Provided that the Participant has not undergone a Termination on or prior to (i) the date that the Committee certifies in writing the achievement of the Performance Conditions (the “Determination Date”), 25% of the Earned PSUs shall immediately vest and (ii) the first three anniversaries of the Determination Date (each such anniversary, together with the Determination Date, the “Vesting Dates”), an additional 25% of the Earned PSUs will on each such anniversary. Any Restricted Stock Units which are not Earned PSUs as of the Determination Date shall be forfeited for no consideration.
3.Change in Control:

b.In the event that a Change in Control occurs on or following the Determination Date, (i) provided that the Participation has not undergone a Termination as of the date of such Change in Control, if, in connection with such Change in Control, the unvested Earned PSUs are not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced by the Company or a successor entity thereto in connection with such Change in Control, then all of such Earned PSUs shall vest as of immediately prior to such Change in Control and (ii) if the Participant undergoes a Termination by the Company without Cause during the one-year period following such Change in Control, any then-unvested Earned PSUs shall vest as of the date of such Termination.
