To the extent permitted by applicable law, you must continue to be actively employed on a full-time basis through the 2025 EVC payout date to be eligible to receive an award. Incentive payouts and participation in the years after 2025 will be determined in accordance with the terms of the executive variable compensation plan then in effect or any other incentive plan for which you may be eligible.

To receive an award, you will receive a notification from the Unisys stock plan administrator requesting your review and acceptance within thirty (30) days of the grant date.

In addition, subject to approval by the Board and the CHRC, you will also be considered to receive a $3,881,250 annual LTI target award in subsequent years starting in 2026 if long-term incentive compensation is granted by Unisys, subject to similar terms as referenced above.

Unisys is committed to maintaining its competitive position in the employment marketplace. However, it is agreed that neither this letter agreement, nor the maintenance of personnel policies, procedures and benefits, creates a contract of employment. You understand and agree that if you accept this offer, the employment relationship between you and Unisys is entirely voluntary and for no specific period. Therefore, you will remain free at all times to terminate your employment with or without cause or notice. Likewise, Unisys will remain at all times free to terminate the relationship at any time, with or without reason, cause or notice.

You understand and agree that this at will nature of employment is binding upon both you and Unisys and cannot be changed except by an express writing signed by both you and the Board. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the Executive Severance Letter, the Change in Control Agreement and any other agreement between Unisys and you (including, without limitation, any restrictive covenants) shall remain in full force and effect.
