APi GROUP CORPORATION 2019 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN [YEAR] GLOBAL PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT RECIPIENT NAME: [Employee Name] (the “Recipient”) DATE: [date] (the “Grant Date”) 1. Award of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. APi GROUP CORPORATION (the “Company” or “APG”) hereby grants to Recipient, as of the Grant Date, Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) in a target amount equal to /$AwardsGranted$/ Shares (the “Target Amount”), which PSUs will be subject to the terms, provisions and restrictions set forth in this Global Performance- Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the APi Group Corporation 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein for all purposes. The actual number of PSUs that become eligible to vest will be determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 hereof. As a condition to entering into this Agreement, and to the issuance of any Shares, the Recipient agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions herein and in the Plan. Capitalized terms that are undefined in this Agreement are defined in the Plan. 2. Vesting of PSUs. (a) General Vesting; Performance Criteria. Except as provided in Sections 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) and 3 of this Agreement, the Recipient is eligible to vest in the PSUs based on the level of achievement of the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Performance Criteria”), provided the Recipient continues to be in Continuous Service through the last day of the Performance Period (as defined in Exhibit A). Except as provided in Section 2(b), 2(c) or 2(d) of this Agreement, there will be no vesting (partial, pro rata or otherwise) of the PSUs in or during the months, days or other periods prior to the last day of the Performance Period and no PSUs will be eligible to vest prior to the last day of the Performance Period (and provided that the PSUs are only eligible to vest if and to the extent the Performance Criteria set forth in Exhibit A are satisfied). The Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine the level of attainment of the Performance Criteria set forth herein and its determination will be conclusive. Any portion of the PSUs subject to this Agreement that have become vested pursuant to this Section 2 will be referred to hereinafter as the “Vested PSUs,” and any portion that have not vested hereunder will be referred to as the “Non-Vested PSUs.” (b) Acceleration of Vesting Upon Retirement. If the Recipient’s Continuous Service is terminated by reason of the Recipient’s Retirement (as defined below) at any time after the first anniversary of the first day of the Performance Period but prior to the last day of the Performance Period, and provided further that the Recipient provides notice (pursuant to Section 10(h) hereof) at least six (6) months prior to the Recipient’s date of Retirement, a pro-rated portion of the PSUs will become Vested PSUs in an amount equal to (i) the number of PSUs that would otherwise become vested based on the actual level of achievement of the applicable Performance Criteria for the Performance Period as set forth in Exhibit A had the Recipient remained in Continuous Service through the last day of the Performance Period, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of full Exhibit 10.1(c)


 
2 months that have elapsed between the first day of the Performance Period and the date of the Recipient’s Retirement, and the denominator of which will be the number of calendar months in such Performance Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means that the Recipient’s age is 50 or more, the Recipient’s years of Continuous Service total 5 or more and the combination of the Recipient’s age and years of Continuous Service is equal to 65 or more; provided, that Retirement will not include: (A) a termination by the Company (or a Related Entity) for Cause, (B) a resignation by the Recipient after being notified that the Company (or a Related Entity) has elected to terminate the Recipient’s Continuous Service for Cause, or (C) any other circumstance upon which the Committee determines in its good faith that the Recipient is not in good standing at the time of such termination at the sole discretion of the Committee. As provided in Section (4) below, that number of Shares equal to the number of PSUs that vest pursuant to this Section 2(b) will be transferred to the Recipient after the end of the Performance Period. (c) Acceleration of Vesting Upon Death or Disability. If the Recipient’s Continuous Service is terminated by reason of the Recipient’s death or Disability at any time prior to the last day of the Performance Period, the PSUs will become Vested PSUs in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the number of PSUs that would otherwise become vested based on the actual level of achievement of the applicable Performance Criteria for the Performance Period as set forth in Exhibit A had the Recipient remained in Continuous Service through the last day of the Performance Period or (ii) the Target Amount of PSUs; provided, that this provision will not apply where there is: (A) a termination by the Company (or a Related Entity) for Cause, (B) a resignation by the Recipient after being notified that the Company (or a Related Entity) has elected to terminate the Recipient’s Continuous Service for Cause, or (C) any other circumstance upon which the Committee determines in its good faith that the Recipient is not in good standing at the time of such termination at the sole discretion of the Committee. As provided in Section (4) below, that number of Shares equal to the number of PSUs that vest pursuant to this Section 2(c) will be transferred to the Recipient after the end of the Performance Period. (d) Acceleration of Vesting Upon Certain Terminations in Connection with a Change in Control. If the PSUs are assumed, substituted or otherwise replaced in connection with a Change in Control and, within 12 months after a Change in Control of the Company occurs, the Recipient incurs a Qualifying Termination (as defined below), the PSUs will become Vested PSUs in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the number of PSUs that would otherwise become vested based on the actual level of achievement of the applicable Performance Criteria for the Performance Period as set forth in Exhibit A had the Recipient remained in Continuous Service through the last day of the Performance Period or (ii) the Target Amount of PSUs, subject to the Recipient executing and being subject to an irrevocable release agreement (the “Release Agreement”) upon reasonable terms in a form provided at the discretion of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Qualifying Termination” will mean a termination of the Recipient’s Continuous Service by the Company (or a Related Entity) without Cause (other than due to the Recipient’s death or Disability); provided, that, if the Recipient is, at the time of a Change in Control, an “Eligible Executive” (as defined in the APi Group Corporation Executive Severance Policy, as amended or restated from time to time (the “Policy”)), then “Qualifying Termination” will have the meaning set forth in the Policy. As provided in Section (4) below, that number of Shares equal to the number of PSUs that vest pursuant to this Section 2(d) will be transferred to the Recipient after the end of the Performance Period. 3. Treatment of PSUs Upon Termination of Continuous Service. Except as set forth in Sections 2(b), 2(c) or 2(d) hereof, if the Recipient’s Continuous Service is terminated for any reason prior to the last day of the Performance Period, the Non-Vested PSUs granted hereunder will be immediately


 
3 forfeited and revert back to the Company without any payment to the Recipient. The Committee will have the power and authority to enforce on behalf of the Company any rights the Company may have with respect to the PSUs under this Agreement in the event of the termination of the Recipient’s Continuous Service. 4. Settlement of the PSUs. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b), 2(c) or 2(d) hereof, if the Committee determines that the Performance Criteria described in Section 2(a) has been met and certifies the extent to which it has been met, and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement are fulfilled, then that number of Shares equal to the number of PSUs that vest pursuant to Section 2 hereof will be transferred to the Recipient after the end of the Performance Period but no later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the last day of such Performance Period; provided, however, that if such PSUs are considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A (as defined below), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, then such Shares will be transferred to the Recipient within 60 days following the end of the Performance Period; provided further, that if such 60 day settlement period crosses two calendar years, such Shares will be settled within the portion of the settlement window that falls within such second calendar year. 5. Rights with Respect to PSUs. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Recipient will not have any rights, benefits or entitlements with respect to the Shares corresponding to the PSUs unless and until those Shares are delivered to the Recipient. 6. Transferability. The PSUs are not transferable unless and until the Shares have been delivered to the Recipient in settlement of the PSUs in accordance with this Agreement, otherwise than by will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution. Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement or the Plan, any attempt to effect a Transfer of any PSUs prior to the date on which the Shares have been delivered to the Recipient in settlement of the PSUs will be void. For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer” means any sale, transfer, encumbrance, gift, donation, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition, whether similar or dissimilar to those previously enumerated, whether voluntary or involuntary, and including, but not limited to, any disposition by operation of law, by court order, by judicial process, or by foreclosure, levy or attachment. 7. Tax Matters. (a) Satisfaction of Withholding Requirements. As a condition to the Company’s obligations with respect to the PSUs (including, without limitation, any obligation to deliver any Shares), the Recipient will pay the Company any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required to be withheld with respect to the delivery of Shares corresponding to such PSUs, if applicable. The Company will make such provisions for the withholding or payment of taxes as it deems necessary under applicable law, including withholding any Shares that would otherwise be delivered to Recipient under this Agreement (or otherwise deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Recipient) to pay any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such Shares. (b) Recipient’s Responsibilities for Tax Consequences. The tax consequences to the Recipient (including federal, state, local and foreign income tax consequences) with respect to the PSUs (including the grant, vesting and/or delivery thereof) are the sole responsibility of the Recipient. The Recipient should consult with the Recipient's own personal accountant(s) and/or tax advisor(s) regarding these matters and the Recipient’s filing, withholding and payment (or tax liability) obligations.

Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, in its sole discretion, this Agreement (and Recipient’s rights hereunder) may not be assigned, and the obligations of Recipient hereunder may not be delegated, in whole or in part. The rights and obligations created hereunder will be binding on the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Recipient and on the successors and assigns of the Company. 9. Complete Agreement. This Agreement (together with those agreements and documents expressly referred to herein, for the purposes referred to herein) embody the complete and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, which may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way. 10. Miscellaneous. (a) No Right to (Continued) Employment or Service. This Agreement and the grant of PSUs hereunder will not confer, or be construed to confer, upon the Recipient any right to employment or service, or continued employment or service, with the Company or any Related Entity. (b) No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.

(d) No Trust or Fund Created.
