(Non-Qualified Stock Options)
THIS AGREEMENT, including any special terms and conditions in the appendix attached hereto (the “Agreement”), is made as of this ###GRANT DATE### between Sabre Corporation (the “Company”) and ###PARTICIPANT NAME### (the “Participant”).
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Sabre Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing the employees and non-employee directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, who are largely responsible for the management, growth, and protection of the business of the Company, with incentives and rewards to encourage them to continue in the service of the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates;
WHEREAS, Section 7 of the Plan provides for the Grant to Participants of Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.
Grant of Options. Pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant a NON-QUALIFIED STOCK Option (the “Option”) with respect to ###NUMBER OF OPTIONS### shares of Common Stock of the Company.
2.
Grant Date. The grant date of the Options is ###GRANT DATE### (the “Grant Date”).
3.
Exercise Price; Exercisability. The exercise price of each share of Common Stock underlying the Option hereby granted is ###GRANT PRICE### (the “Exercise Price”).
4.
Vesting of Options. The Option shall become vested and exercisable as follows: 25% shall vest on the one year anniversary of the grant date, and the remainder shall vest in equal installments of 6.25% at the end of each successive three month period following the one-year anniversary, until 100% of the Options are fully vested (each such date a “Vesting Date”); provided that the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company through each applicable Vesting Date except as provided in Sections 3(c) and 3(d) hereof.
(a)
In the event the Participant’s Employment terminates for any reason other than in respect of a Qualifying Termination following a Change in Control, such unvested Options will be immediately forfeited as of such termination of Employment.

1


(b)
In the event of a Qualifying Termination during the one-year period following a Change in Control, the Option shall immediately vest in full and become exercisable as of the date of such Qualifying Termination following a Change in Control.
5.
Manner of Exercise. The Option shall be exercised by delivery of an electronic or physical written notice to the Secretary of the Company, or such other form as permitted by the Committee from time to time and communicated to the Participant (the “Exercise Notice”), which shall state the election to exercise the Option, specify the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall include payment in cash for an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock specified in such Exercise Notice. Such payment may be made in (i) cash; or in the Committee’s sole discretion, (ii) shares of Common Stock (that the Participant has owned for at least one (1) year) having a Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price; (iii) a combination of cash and shares provided that such shares have been held by the Participant for at least one (1) year prior to such exercise; or (iv) through a broker assisted exercise, but only to the extent such right or the utilization of such right would not cause the Option to be subject to Section 409A of the Code and to the extent the use of net-physical settlement is permitted by, and is in compliance with applicable law. The partial exercise of the Option, alone, shall not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining portion of the Option.
6.
Expiration of Options. The Participant’s Option, or portion thereof, which has not become exercisable shall expire on the date the Participant’s Employment is terminated for any reason. The Participant’s Option(s), or any portion thereof, which have become exercisable on or before the date the Participant’s Employment is terminated (or that become exercisable as a result of such termination) shall expire on the earlier of (i) the commencement of business on the date the Participant’s Employment is terminated for Cause; (ii) ninety (90) days after the date the Participant’s Employment is terminated for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability; (iii) one year after the date the Participant’s Employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability; or (iv) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date for such Option(s). All Options, whether vested or unvested, that have not sooner expired shall expire no later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date.

7.
Rights as a Shareholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by or relating to the Options until the date of issuance to the Participant of a certificate or other evidence of ownership representing such shares of Common Stock in settlement thereof. For purposes of clarification, the Participant shall not have any voting or dividend rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Options prior to the applicable Settlement Date.
8.
Transferability. Subject to any exceptions set forth in the Plan, until such time as the Options are settled in accordance with Section 4, the Options or the rights represented thereby may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of the Participant to any party (other than the Company), or assigned or transferred by such Participant, but immediately upon such purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposal of the Options will be forfeited by the Participant and all of the Participant’s rights to such Options shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration from the Company.
9.
Incorporation of Plan. All terms, conditions and restrictions of the Plan are incorporated herein and made part hereof as if stated herein. If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall govern. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan.
10.
Taxes. The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax‑related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Options, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exericse of the Options, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalent; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability 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, the Participant 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.
Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

3



In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired at exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) without further consent
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent.
Finally, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
11.
Construction of Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) which is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this section, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions thereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable. No waiver of any provision or violation of this Agreement by the Company shall be implied by the Company’s forbearance or failure to take action. No provision of this Agreement shall be given effect to the extent that such provision would cause any tax to become due under Section 409A of the Code.
12.
Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto upon any breach or default of any party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party or any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

13.
No Special Employment Rights; No Right to Award. Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall confer upon the Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his Employment by or service to the Company or the Employer or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or the Employer at any time to terminate such Employment or service or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in existence at the time of the grant of the Options. The rights or opportunity granted to the Participant on the making of an Award shall not give the Participant any rights or additional rights to compensation or damages in consequence of either: (i) the Participant giving or receiving notice of termination of his or her office or Employment; (ii) the loss or termination of his or her office or Employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for any reason whatsoever; or (iii) whether or not the termination (and/or giving of notice) is ultimately held to be wrongful or unfair.
14.
Data Privacy.
(a)
The Participant hereby acknowledges that he or she has been notified of the processing of the Participant’s personal data by or on behalf of the Company, the Employer and/or any Subsidiary or Affiliates as described in this Agreement and any other Award grant materials (the “Personal Data”) and, if employed by a European and/or UK affiliate of the Company, has received a Privacy Notice provided by or on behalf of the Employer explaining how his/her Personal Data has been collected and will be used including for the purposes of the grant of Awards. Where applicable for other Participants based outside Europe and/or the UK, the Participant hereby consents to the processing of his/her Personal Data as described in this Agreement and any other Award grant materials. As regards the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data in connection with the Plan and this Agreement, the Participant understands that the Company is the data controller of the Participant’s Personal Data (as defined under applicable European/UK data protection laws).

(b)
Data Processing and Legal Basis. The Company collects, uses and otherwise processes Personal Data about the Participant for the purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Participant understands that this Personal Data may include, without limitation, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor. The legal basis for the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data is to comply with the Company’s contractual obligations to the Participant and also to comply with its legal obligations as set out in the Privacy Notice. Where applicable for Participants employed outside Europe/the UK, the Participants hereby consent to the use of the Personal Data for these purposes.

(c)
Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Participant understands that the Company transfers the Participant’s Personal Data, or parts thereof, to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (and its affiliated companies), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share the Participant’s Personal Data with such different service provider that serves the Company in a similar manner. The Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company’s service provider will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and that the Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

The Participant acknowledges that the Personal Data may be transferred to recipients in the member states of the European Economic Area, the UK and other countries that may not be deemed to have “adequate” data protection laws, such as the United States, which has less stringent data privacy laws and protections than those in the country of the Participant’s residence. Further, the Participant acknowledges and understands that the transfer of the Personal Data to the Company, or to any third parties, is necessary for the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s Personal Data is to comply with the Company’s contractual obligations to the Participant.
(e)
Data Retention. The Participant understands that the Company will use the Participant’s Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. In the latter case, the Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations or the pursuant by the Company of respective legitimate interests not outweighed by the Participant’s interests, rights or freedoms. When the Company no longer needs the Participant’s Personal Data for any of the above purposes, the Participant understands the Company will remove it from its systems.

(f)
Data Subject Rights. The Participant understands that data subject rights regarding the processing of Personal Data vary depending on the applicable law and that, depending on where the Participant is based and subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law, the Participant may have, without limitation, the rights to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about the Participant and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data about the Participant that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, processed based on withdrawn consent, processed for legitimate interests that, in the context of the Participant’s objection, do not prove to be compelling, or processed in non-compliance with applicable legal requirements, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of the Participant’s Personal Data in certain situations where the Participant feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of the Participant’s Personal Data that the Participant has actively or passively provided to the Company (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or the Participant’s employment and is carried out by automated means. The Participant further acknowledges that the exercise of such rights are subject to the limitations and exemptions under applicable data protection laws and that any request to restrict or delete the Personal Data may affect the Participant’s ability to exercise or realize benefits from the Award, and the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

Securities Law Information. The Participant may not be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Options within Canada.

CHILE
Securities Law Information. The offer of Options constitutes a private offering of securities in Chile effective as of the Grant Date. This offer of Options is made subject to general ruling N° 336 of the Chilean Commission for the Financial Market (“CMF”). The offer refers to securities not registered at the securities registry or at the foreign securities registry of the CMF, and, therefore, such securities are not subject to oversight of the CMF. Given that the Options are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide public information about the Options or the shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the Options and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the CMF, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.

Nature of Grant. This provision supplements Section 20 of the Agreement:
The Participant acknowledges that, pursuant to Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code, the Options and related benefits do not constitute a component of the Participant’s “salary” for any legal purpose. Therefore, the Options and related benefits will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as legal/fringe benefits, vacations, indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions and/or any other labor-related amount which may be payable.
Securities Law Information.

Pursuant to Section 13 of the Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, the Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to shares of stock or equivalent benefits awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of managing and administering the Plan.
The Participant also understands that providing the Company with the Participant’s Data is necessary for the performance of the Plan and that the Participant’s refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. The Controller of personal data processing is Sabre Corporation, with registered offices at 3150 Sabre Drive, Southlake, Texas 76092, United States of America, and, pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, its representative in Italy is Sabre Italia S.r.l. with registered offices at Via Carlo Veneziani 56 cap, Rome, Italy.

18



The Participant understands that these recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere, such as the United States. Should the Company exercise its discretion in suspending all necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan, it will delete the Participant’s Data as soon as it has accomplished all the necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan. In any event, Data will be stored only for the time needed to fulfill the purposes mentioned above.

The processing activity, including communication, the transfer of the Participant’s Data abroad, including outside the European Economic Area, as herein specified and pursuant to applicable Italian data privacy laws and regulations, does not require the Participant’s consent thereto as the processing is necessary to performance of contractual obligations related to implementation, administration and management of the Plan, which represents the legal basis for the processing. The Participant understands that, pursuant to Section 7 of the Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, the Participant has the right to, including but not limited to, access, delete, update, ask for rectification or erasure of the Participant’s Data and stop, for legitimate reason, the Data processing.

NEW ZEALAND
Securities Law Information. WARNING: This is an offer of Options which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, will be converted into shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock give the Participant a stake in the ownership of Sabre Corporation. The Participant may receive a return if dividends are paid.
If Sabre Corporation runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Participant will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preferred shares have been paid. The Participant may lose some or all of his or her investment.


New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme. As a result, the

22



Participant may not be given all the information usually required. The Participant will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.
Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.
Prior to the vesting and settlement of the Options, the Participant will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting rights) with respect to the underlying shares of Common Stock.
No interest in any Options may be transferred (legally or beneficially), sold, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered.
The shares of Common Stock are quoted on the NASDAQ. This means that if the Participant acquires shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Participant may be able to sell them on the NASDAQ if there are interested buyers. The Participant may get less than he or she invested. The price will depend on the demand for the shares of Common Stock.
The Participant also is hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on the SEC website at www.sec.gov or the library section of the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney website at www.stockplanconnect.com:
1.
Sabre Corporation’s most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K);

The Participant expressly authorizes the Company’s designated U.S. broker to complete the sale of such shares of Common Stock and acknowledges that the Company’s designated U.S. broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of Common Stock at any particular price. Upon the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the Company agrees to pay the Participant the cash proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock, less any brokerage fees, commissions or Tax-Related Items.

The Participant understands and agrees that the Company may require the Participant to complete and return a Consent to Processing of Personal Data form (the “Consent”) to the Company. If a Consent is required by the Company but the Participant fails to provide such Consent to the Company, the Participant understands and agrees that the Company will not be able to administer or maintain the Options or any other Awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing to complete any required Consent or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

Accordingly, the Participant is not permitted to make any public advertising or announcements regarding the Options or shares of Common Stock in Russia, or promote these shares of Common Stock to other Russian legal entities or individuals, and the Participant is not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock directly to other Russian legal entities or individuals.

Securities Law Information.  The grant of the Options is being made in reliance on section 273(1)(f) of the SFA, on which basis it is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements under the SFA, and is not made to the Participant with a view to the Options or underlying shares of Common Stock being subsequently offered for sale to any other party.

If the Participant does not inform the Employer of the sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and the Employer is subject to penalties or interest as a result of not being able to withhold Tax-Related Items, the Employer may recover any such penalty and interest amounts from the Participant. In addition, if the Participant fails to advise the Employer of the gain realized upon vesting of the Options, then he or she may be liable for a fine.

SPAIN
Nature of Grant.  The following section supplements Section 20 of the Agreement:
In accepting the grant of the Options, the Participant acknowledges that he or she consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan.
The Participant understands that the Company, in its sole discretion, has unilaterally and gratuitously decided to grant the Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a Subsidiary or 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 any Subsidiary or Affiliate over and above the specific terms provided in the Plan and Agreement. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Options are granted on the assumption and condition that the Options and the shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.


Further, the Participant understands and agrees that, unless otherwise expressly provided for by the Company or set forth in the Agreement, the Options will be cancelled without entitlement to any shares of Common Stock if the Participant ceases to be a Participant for any reason, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, or under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine the date when the Participant’s status as a Participant has terminated for purposes of the Options.
In addition, the Participant understands that this grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of, or right to, the Options shall be null and void.
Securities Law Information. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory with respect to the Options. No public offering prospectus has been, nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission) (“CNMV”).

27




Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (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 the Participant within 90 days of the end of the UK tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable.
