______ (the “Grantee”) is granted, effective as of ____, 2025, a performance award (the “Award”) of ____ performance shares with a potential payout in the form of cash, as set forth below subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the 2020 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (the “Company”). To the extent that there is a conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall govern. Any term not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan.

The EBITDA component is measured at the end of each year (the “EBITDA Performance Period”) and weighted as 1/3 of the potential EBITDA payout for the performance period. EBITDA, for any period means Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, a financial metric that measures the Company's operational profitability by excluding non-operating expenses and non-cash items.

(b)Adjustments. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in the event of an exchange, tender offer, sale, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, split, combination or otherwise of the Company, that is closed any time between (a) grant date and June 30, 2026 (the “First Transaction Closing Date”), and the transaction is valued on such closing date with the CVG stock at a price greater than $2.00 per share, then the stock price on the First Transaction Closing Date shall determine the Payout Level when compared to the Stock Price Hurdle in the chart above, or (b) July 1, 2026 and December 31, 2027 (the “Second Transaction Closing Date”), and the transaction is valued on such closing date with the CVG stock at a price greater than any one or all of the stock price hurdles already reached, if applicable, then the stock price on the Second Transaction Closing Date shall determine the Payout Level when compared to the Stock Price Hurdle in the chart above. The Committee shall calculate the Payout Level preserving the intended economic benefits hereunder. The Committee’s adjustment shall be made in accordance with this provision and shall be effective and final, binding and conclusive for all purposes of the Plan and this Agreement, absent manifest error or bad faith.

(a)General. Except as provided in Section 2(b) hereof, or unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, in the event of the Grantee’s termination of employment or other service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason prior to the expiration of the Performance Period, the Award hereunder shall be automatically forfeited and cancelled as of the date of such termination without any consideration being paid therefor and otherwise without any further action of the Company whatsoever. In the event of the Grantee’s termination of employment or other service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason on or following expiration of the Performance Period, the Grantee shall retain the right to receive payment of the Award hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 hereof, provided that upon a termination for Cause at any time prior to payment of the Award hereunder, the Award shall be automatically forfeited and cancelled for no value without any consideration being paid therefore and otherwise without any further action of the Company whatsoever.

(b)Rule of 66. If Grantee’s employment with the Company terminates (other than for Cause) prior to the expiration of the Performance Period and on or after Grantee’s Rule of 66 Date, as defined below, then the Award shall be earned on a pro-rata basis and paid based on each EBITDA and stock price measurement calculated through the end of the Performance Period, as if the Grantee remained an active employee of the Company. For this purpose, the “Rule of 66 Date” means the date that the sum of the Grantee’s age plus total Service, as defined below, is equal to or greater than sixty-six (66), so long as Grantee’s age is equal to or greater than 60. “Service” means the aggregate number of completed years of continued employment with the Company, as conclusively determined by the Company without regard to any later determinations or findings regarding Grantee’s employment status by any third party.

(a)Non-use and Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.

Grantee will comply with the policies and procedures of the Company and its subsidiaries for protecting Confidential Information and shall never use or disclose to any Person (except as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company and its subsidiaries), any Confidential Information obtained by Grantee incident to his or her employment or other association with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Grantee agrees to only use the Company’s Confidential Information as necessary to perform his or her job during employment with the Company. Grantee understands that this restriction shall continue to apply after his or her employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination. All documents, records, tapes and other media of every kind and description relating to the business, present or otherwise, of the Company or its subsidiaries and any copies, in whole or in part, thereof (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by Grantee, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and its subsidiaries.

(a)Noncompetition. For a period of time beginning on the date Grantee executes a copy of this Agreement and continuing for a period ending on the date which is one (1) year after Grantee’s employment terminates (the “Noncompetition Period”) Grantee shall not, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, Grantee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage in, assist or have any active interest in a business that competes with the Company or any of its subsidiaries (“Competing Business Line”) or otherwise compete with the Company or any of its subsidiaries: (i) anywhere throughout the world; (ii) in North America; (iii) in the United States; and/or (iv) in those states of the United States in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries sells products or conducts business activities.

6.Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property. Grantee shall promptly and fully disclose all Intellectual Property (defined below) to the Company. Grantee hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the Company) Grantee’s full right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property. Grantee agrees to execute any and all applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including without limitation the execution and delivery of instruments of further assurance or confirmation) requested by the Company to assign the Intellectual Property to the Company and to permit the Company to enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights to the Intellectual Property.

7.Consideration and Acknowledgments. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants described in Sections 3 through 6 of this Agreement are essential terms, and the underlying Award would not be provided by the Company in the absence of these covenants. Grantee further acknowledges that these covenants are supported by adequate consideration as set forth in this Agreement, that full compliance with these covenants will not prevent Grantee from earning a livelihood following the termination of his or her employment, and that these covenants do not place undue restraint on Grantee and are not in conflict with any public interest. Grantee acknowledges that (i) Grantee has had access to Company’s trade secrets and Confidential Information at the highest levels, including without limitation manufacturing and marketing strategy, customer strategy and lists, technical know-how, product and process research and development, and business plans, (ii) Grantee has had access to Confidential Information regarding and has been privy to discussions and strategy sessions at the highest levels of the Company regarding all aspects, business lines and product segments of the Company, and (iii) that these trade secrets and Confidential Information would inevitably be disclosed were Grantee to work for a competitor. Grantee further acknowledges and agrees that Grantee fully understands these covenants, has had full and complete opportunity to discuss and resolve any ambiguities or uncertainties regarding these covenants before signing this Agreement, that these covenants are reasonable and enforceable in every respect, and has voluntarily agreed to comply with these covenants for their stated term.

The Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award shall be those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company, and under no circumstances shall the Grantee have any other interest in any asset of the Company by virtue of the grant of the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to implement or set aside funds in a grantor trust, subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors or otherwise, to discharge its obligations with respect to the Award.
