(b) Alternative Form of Settlement. Pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Plan and notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle any Earned Performance-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 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 Performance-Based RSUs with respect to the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date on which the Shares in settlement of Earned Performance-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 the Performance-Based RSUs been delivered to the Participant as of the time at which such dividend is paid, which
4
amount shall be calculated and deemed reinvested in additional Performance-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 this Agreement. Each such unit shall be subject to the same earning, vesting, and forfeiture conditions as the Performance-Based RSUs to which it relates, and will be paid to the Participant in the form of additional Shares on the date on which the Shares attributable to the corresponding Performance-Based RSUs are delivered to the Participant; provided that the Committee retains the discretion to pay such amount in cash rather than Shares in the event that an insufficient number of Shares are authorized and available for issuance under the Plan. Any Shares attributable to Performance-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 Earned Performance-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. In connection with 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.
(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
5
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 Earned Performance-Based RSUs to cover any withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items unless the Committee determines that 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 Earned Performance-Based RSUs 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.
6
(b)Voting Rights. The Participant shall not have voting rights with respect to the Shares underlying the Performance-Based RSUs, the Earned Performance-Based RSUs or, if applicable, any Dividend Shares unless and until such Shares are delivered to the Participant.
Section 9. Data Privacy. The Company, with its registered address located at 5 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland, grants Performance-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 Performance-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 Performance-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 RSUs 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 Performance-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 the Participant’s grant of consent is purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or withdraw the Participant’s consent at any time. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later withdraws the Participant’s 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.
7
(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 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 the Company processes the Participant’s data.

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 Performance-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).

The grant of this Award does not create a right to
9
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)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).

To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this 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.
(m)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.

Further, if the Participant transfers residence and/or employment to another country reflected in an Addendum to this Agreement, the special terms and conditions for such country shall apply to the Participant to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the operation and administration of this Award and the Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms or conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Participant’s transfer). Any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of this Agreement.
(q)Additional Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on this Award, any Shares acquired pursuant to this Award and the Participant’s participation in the Plan to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the operation and administration of this Award and the Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
(r)Risk Statement. The Participant acknowledges and accepts that the future value of the Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and that the value of this Award at the time when Shares are issued in settlement of Earned Performance-Based RSUs may be less than the value of the Award on the Grant Date.

(w)Clawback and Recoupment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions set forth in Aptiv PLC Compensation Recoupment Policy (as may be amended and restated from time to time, the “Clawback Policy”) are incorporated in this Agreement by reference.

Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, any Award of Performance-Based RSUs granted under the Plan, Shares received upon the settlement of Performance-Based RSUs granted under the Plan, and such other applicable compensation, including, without limitation, annual cash incentive compensation, will be subject to potential mandatory cancellation, forfeiture and/or repayment by the Participant to the Company to the extent the Participant is, or in the future becomes, subject to (i) any Company clawback or recoupment policy, including the Clawback Policy and any other policies that are adopted by the Company, whether to comply with the requirements of any applicable laws, rules, regulations, stock exchange listing standards or otherwise, or (ii) any applicable laws that impose mandatory clawback or recoupment requirements under the circumstances set forth in such laws, including as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or other applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards, as may be in effect from time to time, and which may operate to create additional rights for the Company with respect to awards and the recovery of amounts relating thereto. By accepting the Award of Performance-Based RSUs under the Plan and pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant consents to be bound by the terms of the Clawback Policy, if applicable, and agrees and acknowledges that the Participant is obligated to cooperate with, and provide any and all assistance

Such cooperation and assistance shall include, but is not limited to, executing, completing and submitting any documentation necessary to facilitate the recovery or recoupment by the Company from the Participant of any such amounts, including from the Participant’s accounts or from any other compensation, to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code.
(x)Suspension or Termination of Award for Misconduct. If at any time the Company reasonably believes that the Participant has committed an act of misconduct as described in Section 11(h) of the Plan, the Award may be suspended pending a determination of whether an act of misconduct has been committed. If the Company determines that such misconduct has occurred, any unvested Performance-Based RSUs and any Earned Performance-Based RSUs will be cancelled as of the date the Company was notified of such misconduct. Any determination by an Authorized Officer of the Company with respect to the foregoing will be final, conclusive, and binding on all interested parties.

EXHIBIT A
[•] – [•] Performance Metrics and Formula Used to Determine
the Number of Earned Performance-Based RSU Shares
Metric 1: Return on Net Assets (“RONA”)
•Definition: Tax-affected operating income, divided by average net working capital plus average net property, plant and equipment, including adjustments for significant items not originally contemplated in establishing the target, as permitted by the Plan, measured each calendar year. Final performance will be based upon the three-year average of calendar year RONA for [•], [•] and [•].
•Weight: 33.3% of the performance-based payout formula
•[•] – [•] RONA Performance Parameters:
RONA
Payout %
Minimum
[•]%
25%
Target
[•]%
100%
BBP
[•]%
150%
Maximum
[•]%
200%
•If the final RONA is below the minimum RONA, no RONA performance will be considered.
•If the final RONA is above the maximum RONA, the maximum RONA performance will be earned (200%).
•If the final [•]– [•] average RONA is between the minimum and target levels, between the target and BBP levels or between the BBP and maximum levels, the percentage of the performance-based payout formula earned will be determined by linear interpolation between the relevant payout percentages identified above, rounded to the nearest whole percentage point.
Metric 2: Cumulative Net Income (“NI”)
•Definition: Cumulative adjusted net income attributable to Aptiv, including adjustments for significant items not originally contemplated in establishing the target, as permitted by the Plan, for the performance period [•] through [•].
•Weight: 33.3% of the performance-based payout formula
•[•] – [•] Cumulative NI Performance Parameters:

– If the final [•] – [•] cumulative NI performance is between the minimum and target levels, between the target and BBP levels or between the BBP and maximum levels, the percentage of the performance-based payout formula earned will be determined by linear interpolation between the relevant payout percentages identified above, rounded to the nearest whole percentage point.
Metric 3: Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)
•Definition: The stock price appreciation, expressed as a percentage with one decimal point, assuming dividends are reinvested in company stock on the dividend payment date during the Performance Period. To obtain relative TSR, the Company’s TSR is compared against the TSR of the companies included in the Russell 3000 Auto Parts Index, as listed on the following page. For purposes of the TSR calculation, the beginning stock price shall be the average closing sales prices of each company’s common stock for all available trading days in [•]; and the ending stock price shall be the average closing sales prices of each company’s common stock for all available trading days in [•].
•Weight: 33.3% of performance-based payout formula
•[•] – [•] TSR Performance Parameters
– The following data points will be interpolated for purposes of measuring final performance and payout (rounded to the nearest whole percentage point):
TSR as a percentile of the
Russell 3000 Auto Parts Index
Payout %
[•]th percentile
25%
[•]th percentile
100%
[•]th percentile and above
200%
– If the final TSR is below the [•]th percentile, no TSR performance will be considered.
– If the final TSR is at or above the [•]th percentile, the maximum TSR performance will be earned (200%).
– Fractional percentiles will be rounded using conventional rounding methods.
– In determining the Company’s percentile rank, the companies included in the Russell 3000 Auto Parts Index shall be used. If the common stock of any of these companies is not publicly traded throughout the Performance Period, such company’s results will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s relative performance.
Total Earned Performance-Based RSU Shares
The total performance payout percentage and the number of Earned Performance-Based RSUs will be determined by:
(1) Multiplying the weight of the performance factor by the calculated payout percentage:
(a) 33.3% multiplied by the RONA payout percentage,
(b) 33.3% multiplied by the NI payout percentage, and
(c) 33.3% multiplied by the TSR payout percentage;
(2) Adding the three weighted components to derive the final combined payout percentage, rounding to the nearest whole percentage; and
(3) Multiplying the final combined payout percentage by the number of Performance-Based RSUs granted.
