PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of _______________ (the “Award Date”), is made by and between Genpact Limited, an exempted limited company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”) and ____________________ (“Participant”). To the extent not defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Genpact Limited 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan for the purpose of promoting the interests of the Company and its shareholders by attracting and retaining exceptional directors, officers, employees and consultants and enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company.
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant to Participant a performance share award under the Plan as provided for herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:
1.Grant of Performance Shares Award. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date, a performance share award (the “Award”) under the Plan entitling Participant to receive a number of Shares based on the extent, if any, to which the applicable vesting criteria are satisfied. The initial number of Shares that shall be used to determine Participant’s rights pursuant to this Award is ____________ (the “Target Performance Shares”). The number of Target Performance Shares shall be used solely to calculate the maximum number of Shares that may be issued to Participant under this Agreement (“Actual Performance Shares”). Both the number of Target Performance Shares and Actual Performance Shares shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. The number of Shares issuable under the Award may be subject to reduction as set forth in Paragraph 3.
2.Vesting Requirements. The Shares subject to the Award shall initially be unvested and shall vest only in accordance with the vesting provisions of this Paragraph 2 or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 4. The Shares in which Participant shall vest under this Paragraph 2 shall be determined pursuant to a two-step process: (i) first there shall be calculated the maximum number of Shares in which Participant can vest based upon the level at which the Performance Goals specified in Appendix A of this Agreement (the “Performance Goals”) for the performance period commencing on ________________ and ending on _________________ (the “Performance Period”) are actually attained and (ii) then the number of the Actual Performance Shares resulting from the clause (i) calculation in which Participant shall
actually vest shall be determined on the basis of Participant’s completion of the applicable service vesting provisions set forth below. Accordingly, the vesting of the Shares shall be calculated as follows:
(a)Performance Vesting. The number of Actual Performance Shares to which Participant may become entitled under this Agreement shall be calculated following the end of the Performance Period and shall be based on the level at which the Performance Goals for the Performance Period are determined to have been attained. The number of Actual Performance Shares to which Participant may become entitled at the end of the Performance Period shall be calculated by multiplying the designated number of Target Performance Shares by a performance percentage ranging from 0% to 200%. The actual performance percentage to be used for such purpose shall be determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in Appendix A and shall be tied to the attained level of Company performance for the Performance Period described in Appendix A. In no event may the number of Actual Performance Shares exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the Target Performance Shares.
(b)Service Vesting: The Actual Performance Shares so determined represent the maximum number of Shares in which Participant can vest hereunder. The actual number of Shares in which Participant shall vest shall be determined as follows:
(i)If Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate from _______________ through _______________ (the “Service Period”), on __________________ Participant shall vest in 100% of the Actual Performance Shares.
(ii)In the event of Participant’s termination of continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate that occurs during the Service Period by reason of death or Disability, Participant shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares determined by multiplying (A) the number of Actual Performance Shares (if any) to which Participant would be entitled based on the actual level at which the Performance Goals are achieved by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of employment or service in the Service Period prior to the termination (rounded up to the closest whole month, but not to exceed thirty-six (36)) and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36).
(iii)Should Participant cease continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate for any other reason prior to the end of the Service Period, the Award shall be immediately canceled and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under the Award.
3.Performance Goals.
(a)Committee Determination. Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine whether and the extent to which the Performance Goals have been achieved for the Performance Period and shall determine the number of Actual Performance Shares, if any, issuable to Participant with respect to the level of achievement of the Performance Goals based on completion of the service vesting requirement; provided that with respect to any Award to a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee
2
shall have certified the achievement of the Performance Goals. The Committee’s determinations with respect to the achievement of the Performance Goals shall be based on the Company’s audited financial statements, subject to any adjustments made by the Committee in accordance with Paragraph 3(b) below. If the threshold levels for the Performance Goals are not achieved, the Award shall be cancelled and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under the Award
(b)Committee Discretion to Reduce or Eliminate Award. Notwithstanding satisfaction, achievement or completion of the Performance Goals (or any adjustments thereto as provided below), the number of Shares issuable hereunder may be reduced or eliminated by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine.
(c)Modification of Performance Goals. The Committee shall have the right to adjust or modify the calculation of the Performance Goals as permitted under the Plan.
(d)Section 162(m). To the extent the Committee has determined that this Award is intended to comply with the performance-based exception to Section 162(m) of the Code and Participant is a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, all actions taken hereunder (including without limitation any adjustments of Performance Goals) shall be made in a manner which would comply with Section 162(m) of the Code.
4.Change of Control: In the event a Change of Control occurs during the Service Period, the number of Shares issuable under this Award and the date of issuance of the Shares shall be determined as follows notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary:
(a)In the event the Change of Control occurs prior to completion of the Performance Period and Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through the effective date of that Change of Control, then this Award shall be converted into a right to receive the number of Target Performance Shares without any measurement of Performance Goal attainment to date, subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(d) below.
(b)If the Change of Control occurs on or after completion of the Performance Period but prior to completion of the Service Period and Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through the effective date of that Change of Control, this Award shall entitle Participant to receive the number of Actual Performance Shares based on the level of attainment of the Performance Goals, subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(d) below.
(c)If this Award is assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the Change of Control in accordance with the Plan, then provided Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through the completion of the Service Period, the Shares issuable under this Award (as determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b)) or other consideration payable in connection with such assumption, continuation or substitution, shall be issued on __________________ or as soon as
3
practicable thereafter but in no event later than the applicable short-term deferral period under applicable tax rules. If Participant's continued employment or service terminates prior to completion of the Service Period, then except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4(f) and Paragraph 4(g), the Award shall be immediately cancelled upon such termination and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares or other consideration under the Award.
(d)If this Award is not assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the Change of Control in accordance with the Plan, then the Shares issuable under this Award (as determined pursuant to Paragraphs 4(a) or 4(b)) or other consideration payable with respect to such Shares in consummation of the Change of Control shall be issued on the effective date of the Change of Control or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) business days after such effective date.
(e)Following a Change of Control, Participant shall not have any right to receive any Shares under this Award in excess of the number of Shares determined under this Paragraph 4.
(f)In the event of Participant’s termination of continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate that occurs during the Service Period by reason of death or Disability, Participant shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares determined by multiplying (A) the number of Shares (if any) to which Participant would be entitled in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b) had Participant’s employment or service not terminated by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of service in the Service Period prior to the termination (rounded up to the closest whole month, but not to exceed thirty-six (36)) and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36). To the extent not issued at the time of the Change of Control, such Shares (or other consideration issuable under this Award) shall be issued immediately upon such termination or as soon as practicable thereafter, but not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the year of such termination.

Any Shares which vest hereunder but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance or to Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of this Award. Participant may make such a beneficiary designation at any time by filing the appropriate form with the Committee or its designee.

Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of this Agreement would otherwise contravene the requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A or of Code Section 457A applicable to such short-term deferral exceptions, then those provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and Code Section 457A and any guidance with respect to Code Section 457A, including but not limited to Notice 2009-8, that apply to such exceptions.
(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent this Award may be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement under Code Section 409A, then Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of Participant’s cessation of continued employment or service shall actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service (as determined under Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations thereunder) or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under
6
Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Code Section 409A, as determined by the Committee in accordance with consistent and uniform standards applied to all other Code Section 409A arrangements of the Company, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2).

(g)Participant shall have no rights, claim or entitlement to compensation or damages as a result of Participant’s cessation of employment for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of contract or local labor law, insofar as these rights, claim or entitlement arise or may arise from Participant’s ceasing to have rights under this Award as a result of such cessation or loss or diminution in value of the Award or any of the Shares issuable under this Award as a result of such cessation, and Participant irrevocably releases his or her employer, the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, from any such rights, entitlement or claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such right or claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived his or her entitlement to pursue such rights or claim.

REGULATION CODE. ANY FUTURE OFFER OR SALE THEREOF IS SUBJECT TO REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE CODE UNLESS SUCH OFFER OR SALE QUALIFIES AS AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION.
SINGAPORE
Securities Law Notice. The Award is being granted pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Singapore Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Participant should note that such grant is subject to section 257 of the SFA and Participant will not be able to make any subsequent sale in Singapore, or any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares underlying the Award unless such sale or offer in Singapore is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA.
Chief Executive Officer, Director Notification Requirement. If Participant is the Chief Executive Officer, a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singapore Affiliate of the Company, Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singaporean Affiliate of the Company in writing when Participant receives an interest (e.g., the Award or Shares) in the Company or any Affiliate. In addition, Participant must notify the Singaporean Affiliate when Participant sells Shares or shares of any other Affiliate (including when Participant sells Shares acquired under the Award). These notifications must be made within two (2) days of acquiring or disposing of an interest in the Company or any Affiliate. In addition, within two (2) days of becoming the Chief Executive Officer, a director, associate director or shadow director, Participant must notify the Singaporean Affiliate of any interest Participant may have in the Company or any Affiliate. Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to Participant’s reporting obligations under the Singapore Companies Act.
SPAIN
Nature of Grant. This provision supplements Section 1 of Addendum A to the Agreement titled “No Acquired Rightsˮ:
In accepting the Award, Participant consents to participate in the Plan and acknowledges that Participant has received a copy of the Plan.
Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant performance share awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or an Affiliate throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or an Affiliate. Consequently, Participant understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and any Shares issued are not part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, Participant understands that Participant will not be entitled to continue vesting in the Award after termination of Participant’s service. In addition, Participant understands that the Award would not be granted to Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to herein; thus, Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that
B-7
should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of the Award and any right to the Award shall be null and void.
Further, the vesting of the Award is expressly conditioned on Participant’s continued service, such that upon termination of Participant’s service for any reason whatsoever, the Award may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of termination of Participant’s service (as determined by the Agreement). This will be the case, for example, even if (1) Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons; or (2) Participant’s termination of service is due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or Participant’s employer. Consequently, upon Participant’s termination of service for any of the above reasons, Participant may automatically lose any rights to the Award to the extent not vested on the date of Participant’s termination of service, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.

UNITED KINGDOM
Award Payable Only in Shares. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the grant of the Award does not provide Participant any right to receive a cash payment and the Award may be settled only in Shares.

Termination of Service. Participant has no right to compensation or damages on account of any loss in respect of an Award under the Plan where the loss arises or is claimed to arise in whole or part from: (a) the termination of Participant’s office or employment; or (b) notice to terminate Participant’s office or employment. This exclusion of liability shall apply however termination of office or employment, or the giving of notice, is caused, and however compensation or damages are claimed.
