EXHIBIT 10.13

PCTEL, INC.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD AGREEMENT

This Long-Term Incentive Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of February ____, 2019 between PCTEL, Inc. (hereinafter called the “Company”) and _____________ (hereinafter called the “Participant”), is intended to memorialize the authorization by the Company’s Board of Directors of an equity award to Participant under the Company’s 2019 long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the PCTEL, Inc. Stock Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Stock Plan”).

1.Award Grant.  The award under the LTIP (“LTIP Award”) is comprised of two components: 33% of the LTIP Award is a time-based service award and 67% of the LTIP Award is a performance incentive award.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Stock Plan, the Company has awarded to Participant under the LTIP as of February 6, 2019 (the “Date of Grant”) (i) ________ Shares of Restricted Stock as a time-based award (“Time-Based Shares”); and (ii) a commitment by the Company to issue a certain number of Shares to Participant provided the Company achieves certain financial performance levels described in paragraphs 1(d) through (h) and Participant satisfies the service vesting obligations described in paragraph 2 (“Performance Shares”).  Unlike the Time-Based Shares, the Performance Shares do not represent immediate ownership of Shares.  Participant’s target number of Shares under the Performance Shares is ___________, but the actual amount of Shares to be issued may be higher or lower depending on Company performance.  The Shares issued or issuable under this LTIP Award are collectively hereinafter referred to as “LTIP Shares”).

d.Performance Shares.  The number of Performance Shares that Participant is entitled to receive depends upon the Company’s revenue growth over a period of three fiscal years commencing with fiscal year 2019 (the “Performance Period”).  If the Company achieves 8% revenue growth over the Performance Period (“Target Growth”), Participant will receive the target number of Shares indicated above (“Target Performance Award”).  If the Company achieves less than Target Growth over the Performance Period, Participant will receive fewer Shares than the Target Performance Award, determined on a straight-line basis as indicated on the chart below.  If the Company achieves greater than the Target Growth over the Performance Period, Participant will receive more Shares than the Target Performance Award, determined on an accelerated basis in accordance with the chart below.  The maximum number of Shares that may be issued to Participant under the LTIP for the

Performance Period is 175% of the Target Performance Award even if revenue growth over the Performance Period exceeds 12%.

e.Determination of Revenue.  Revenue shall be determined by the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of acceptance by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the annual financial statements for the third fiscal year of the Performance Period (i.e., 2021), revenue growth for the entire Performance Period shall be determined by the Company (the “Determination Date”).

f.Adjusted EBITDA Penalty.  The number of Shares earned in accordance with paragraph 1(d) will be reduced by 20% if the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of the Company’s revenue (“Adjusted EBITDA Percentage”) for the Performance Period is less than 8% (the “Adjusted EBITDA Penalty”).  The term “Adjusted EBITDA” means GAAP operating profit excluding stock compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, restructuring charges, impairment charges, gain/loss on sale of product lines, and expenses included in GAAP operating profit to the extent their recovery is recorded in other income.  On the Determination Date, the Company will determine whether the Adjusted EBITDA Penalty applies.

g.Notification of Performance Achieved.  Following the Determination Date, the Company will provide Participant with written notice of the number of Performance Shares awarded under this Agreement for the Performance Period and the calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA Penalty, if applicable.

h.Revenue Contribution of Acquired Entities.  The treatment of revenue generated by entities acquired during the Performance Period will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion.

2.Obligation to Issue/Pay.  Each annual increment of Time-Based Shares will be released from restrictions promptly upon their vesting.  The Performance Shares issued, if any, will be delivered promptly after the Determination Date.  Participant must remain in service as a Service Provider (i) through the vesting date of each annual increment of Time-Based Shares in order to be eligible to receive the applicable annual increment, and (ii) through the Determination Date in order to be eligible to receive Performance Shares earned.  Except as provided under paragraph 2(a), Participant will have no right to receive payment of a ratable portion of earned LTIP Shares if Participant does not remain a Service Provider on the dates specified

-2-

in the preceding sentence. Prior to their actual issuance, Performance Shares will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company.

a.Termination of Employment, Death or Disability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, if Participant is subject to a written employment agreement or severance benefits agreement (“Employment Agreement”) with the Company or a Subsidiary, then in the event the Company (or the Subsidiary employing Participant) terminates Participant as an Employee without “Cause” or Participant resigns as a “Voluntary Termination for Good Reason,” or Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as the result of Participant’s death or “Disability” occurring before any Determination Date, the Performance Shares shall vest in accordance with the terms of Participant’s applicable Employment Agreement.  The terms “Cause”, “Voluntary Termination for Good Reason” and “Disability” used in this Section 2(a) shall have the meanings given them in such Employment Agreement, as may be modified from time to time.

b.Change in Control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, if Participant is subject to a Management Retention Agreement with the Company (the “Management Retention Agreement”), then in the event of a Change in Control that occurs during the Performance Period (or prior to the Determination Date for Performance Shares not yet vested and earned) while Participant is a Service Provider, the Shares will vest and be earned in accordance with the terms of Participant’s Management Retention Agreement.  If Participant is not subject to a Management Retention Agreement, then in the event of a Change in Control that occurs during the Performance Period, Participant’s target number of Performance Shares shall convert into Time-Based Shares (“Converted Shares”).  Each Converted Share shall vest as to one forty-eighth (1/48th) of the Converted Shares as of the first day of each calendar month beginning on and after the Date of Grant, provided that Participant remains in service as a Service Provider through each such date.  Participant shall be given vesting credit from the Date of Grant as if each Converted Share had been subject to a time-based vesting schedule from the Date of Grant.

c.Administrator Discretion.  The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board (the “Administrator”), in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Time-Based Shares at any time, subject to the terms of the Stock Plan.  If so accelerated, such Time-Based Shares will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.  

d.Forfeiture.  Subject to the foregoing acceleration provisions, in the event Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason before the applicable vesting date for each increment of Time-Based Shares or the Determination Date for Performance Shares, the corresponding Shares (or right to acquire such Shares, as applicable) will immediately terminate and be forfeited.

3.Non-Transferability of LTIP Award.  The LTIP Award (other than fully vested and unrestricted LTIP Shares issued pursuant to the LTIP Award) may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, except the Committee may permit the transfer of this LTIP Award to a family member if such transfer is for no value and in accordance with the rules of Form S-8.

4.Effect on Employment.  Participant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder, and the earning and vesting provisions set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of Participant’s continuing employment for any period, or at all, and will not interfere with Participant’s right or the right of the Company (or the Affiliate employing Participant) to terminate Participant as an Employee at any time, with or without cause.

5.Tax Withholding.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no LTIP Shares will be issued to Participant unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the payment of income, employment and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such LTIP Shares so issuable.  All income, employment and other taxes related to the LTIP Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of Participant.  Participant hereby authorizes the Company, or its agents, to satisfy its obligations with regard to all taxes by withholding otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.  

6.Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock.  If at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the LTIP Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of LTIP Shares to Participant (or his or her estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.  Where the Company determines that the delivery or payment of any of the LTIP Shares will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws, the Company will defer delivery until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of LTIP Shares will no longer cause such violation.  The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority.

7.Restrictions on Sale of Securities.  The LTIP Shares awarded under this Agreement will be registered under the federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon receipt.  However, Participant’s subsequent sale of the Shares will be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with the Company’s insider trading policies, and any other applicable securities laws.

8.Successors.  Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this award as contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

9.Address for Notices.  Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of its General Counsel at PCTEL, Inc., 471 Brighton Drive, Bloomingdale, Illinois 60108, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

10.Stock Plan Governs.  This Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Stock Plan.  In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Stock Plan, the provisions of the Stock Plan will govern, unless otherwise provided in Participant’s Employment Agreement or Management Retention Agreement, if any.

11.Administrator Authority.  The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Stock Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Stock Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any LTIP Shares have been earned and vested).  All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons.  No member of the Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

12.Electronic Delivery.  The Company may deliver any documents related to LTIP Shares awarded under the Stock Plan or LTIP Shares awarded under the Stock Plan by electronic means.  Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Stock Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

13.Captions.  Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

14.Agreement Severable.  In the event that any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

15.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subject matter hereof.  Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not executing this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein.

16.Modifications to the Agreement.  Generally, modifications to this Agreement can be made only in an express written amendment executed by Participant and a duly authorized officer of the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may amend this Agreement without Participant’s consent to the extent permitted under the Stock Plan (including, without limiting the foregoing, to comply with law changes or to adhere to any clawback policy).  

17.Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.  By accepting this award of LTIP Shares, Participant expressly warrants that he or she has received a right to acquire stock under the Stock Plan, and has received, read and understood a description of the Stock Plan.  Participant understands that the Stock Plan is discretionary in nature and may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

18.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.  For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this award of LTIP Shares or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Illinois, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Cook County, Illinois, or the federal courts for the United States located in or around Cook County, Illinois, and no other courts, where this award of LTIP Shares is made and/or to be performed.
