AGREEMENT, by Xerox Holdings Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Company”), dated ###GRANT_DATE###, (the “Grant Date”) in favor of ###PARTICIPANT_NAME### (“Employee”), who is an employee of the Company or of a subsidiary or affiliate thereof (collectively, the “Employer”).

In accordance with the provisions of the Xerox Holdings Corporation Performance Incentive Plan and any amendments and/or restatements thereof (the “Plan”), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”), as applicable, has authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The operation of this Agreement is conditioned upon its acceptance by the Employee as described below.

Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration the Company agrees as follows:

1.    Award of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby awards to Employee, as of the Grant Date, ###TOTAL_AWARDS### Restricted Stock Units (each an “RSU” and collectively, “RSUs”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only an active employee or an employee on Short-Term Disability Leave, Social Service Leave, Family Medical Leave or Paid Uniform Services Leave (in each case, pursuant to the Company’s Human Resources Policies or similar policies of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates) on the Grant Date is eligible to receive this award.

2.    Award Summary. As of the vesting date(s) indicated below (each a “Vesting Date” or a “Vest Date”), Employee shall become entitled to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the “Vest Quantity” shown below (subject to applicable tax withholding as described in Paragraph 10 below).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, any outstanding RSUs (and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto) shall be treated pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Upon payment pursuant to the terms of the Plan, such awards shall be cancelled.

3.    Dividend Equivalents. Employee shall become entitled to receive from the Company, as of each Vesting Date, a cash payment equaling the same amount(s) that the holder of record of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs that have become vested and payable on such Vesting Date (under Paragraph 2 or Paragraph 8 of this Agreement, as applicable) would have been entitled to receive as dividends on such Common Stock during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on such Vesting Date. Payments under this Paragraph shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following each such Vesting Date and shall be net of any applicable tax withholding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Employee is no longer employed by his or her Employer on the payment date of the dividend equivalents, and the Employer has determined, with the approval of the Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company, that it is not administratively feasible to pay such dividend equivalents, Employee will not be entitled to receive such dividend equivalents.

4.    Ownership Guidelines. Guidelines pertaining to Employee’s required ownership of Common Stock shall be determined by the Committee or its authorized delegate, as applicable, in its sole discretion from time to time as communicated to Employee in writing.

5.    Holding Requirements. Employee must retain fifty percent (50%) of the net shares of Common Stock acquired in connection with the RSUs (net of withholding tax and any applicable fees) until ownership guidelines are met under Paragraph 4 hereof, subject to any ownership and holding requirements policies established by the Committee from time to time. Such shares shall be held in Employee’s Morgan Stanley account or in another account acceptable to the Company. In addition, shares used to maintain Employee’s ownership level pursuant to this award should be held with Morgan Stanley or in another account acceptable to the Company.

If employment terminates due to the death, such holding requirements shall cease at the date of death. If Employee is a Corporate officer of the Company and terminates for any other reason, the holding requirement will be applicable for a six-month period for the CEO, and a three-month period for all other officers, following termination.

6.    No Rights of a Shareholder. Employee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock associated with this Agreement until the date such shares are released. Except as otherwise provided herein, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are released .

7.    Non-Assignability. This Agreement shall not be assignable or transferable by Employee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

8.    Effect of Termination of Employment Prior to Vesting Date(s).

a)Voluntary Termination; Involuntary Termination for Cause. If Employee voluntarily ceases employment with the Employer for any reason (including Retirement) except a reduction in the workforce, or if Employee’s employment with the Employer is involuntarily terminated for Cause (as defined below), any RSUs that have not vested in accordance with Paragraph 2 shall be cancelled on the date of such termination of employment.

b)Involuntary Termination Without Cause; Reduction in Workforce.

(i)If Employee involuntarily ceases employment with the Employer for any reason (including Disability as defined below) other than death or for Cause, or if Employee voluntarily ceases employment with the Employer due to a reduction in workforce, any RSUs that have not yet vested in accordance with Paragraph 2 will continue to vest and become payable on their Vesting Date(s) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only on a prorated basis as set forth in this Paragraph 8(b). Application of this Paragraph 8(b) may, at the discretion of the Company, be contingent upon Employee executing a general release and/or an agreement with respect to non-engagement in detrimental activity, each in a form acceptable to the Company.

(ii)The proration calculation applicable to this Paragraph 8(b) is: For each remaining Vesting Date under this Agreement, the associated Vest Quantity under Paragraph 2 is multiplied by a fraction:

◦the numerator of which is the number of full months of Employee’s service beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the last day of active employment with respect to Employee’s termination; and

◦the denominator of which is the number of full months from the Grant Date to such Vesting Date.

c)Death. If Employee ceases employment with the Employer by reason of death, 100% of the RSUs granted under this Agreement shall vest and become payable as of the date of death to Employee’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees, as applicable, in accordance with Paragraph 7 and applicable law.

d)Certain Definitions. The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Paragraph 8:

(i)Cause. “Cause” shall mean (A) a violation of any of the rules, policies, procedures or guidelines of the Employer, including but not limited to the Company’s Business Ethics Policy and the Proprietary Information and Conflict of Interest Agreement (B) any conduct which qualifies for “immediate discharge” under the Employer’s Human Resource Policies as in effect from time to time (C) rendering services to a firm which engages, or engaging directly or indirectly, in any business that is competitive with the Employer, or represents a conflict of interest with the interests of the Employer; (D) conviction of, or entering a guilty plea with respect to, a crime whether or not connected with the Employer; or (E) any other conduct determined to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any interest of the Employer.

(ii)Disability. Employee shall be deemed involuntarily to cease employment with the Employer by reason of “Disability” when Employee has received maximum coverage under an Employer-provided short-term disability plan.

e)Salary Continuance. For purposes of determining the number of RSUs that are vested under this Agreement, the Committee or its authorized delegate may, at its discretion, determine that termination of employment means the date on which salary continuance ends, and that “actual months of service” for such purposes include any period of salary continuance.

f)Effect of Releases. Payment will be made as soon as practicable (but not later than 70 days) after the designated payment date except that if the timing of any payment is contingent on employee action, such as execution of a release of claims or agreement, and the specified payment period straddles two calendar years, payment will be made on the second such calendar year.

If at any time the Committee or its authorized delegate, as applicable, shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares subject to this Agreement upon any securities exchange or under any state or Federal law, or the consent or approval of any government regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the awarding of the RSUs or the release of shares upon vesting thereof, such shares shall not be released in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee or its authorized delegate, as applicable.
