Establishment of Performance Goals. Prior to, or shortly after the beginning of, each performance period, the Committee will approve # the participants for that performance period; # a target award opportunity for each participant, as well as threshold and maximum payout levels, which may be expressed as a percentage of the participant’s annual salary; # one or more specific performance goals that will apply for such performance period, which may vary among participants and from one performance period to another; and # a formula for determining the amounts that may become payable based on the level of achievement of the selected performance goals.

Performance Goals. The Administrator may establish performance goals that relate to financial, operational or other performance of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or divisions, to individual performance objectives of the Covered Executive or to any other performance goal established by the Administrator in connection with a potential bonus payment (the “Performance Goals”). Performance Goals may relate to annual, semi-annual, quarterly or other performance periods established by the Administrator. It is expected that the Administrator establish annual bonus programs pursuant to this Bonus Plan. Following the completion of any performance period (at a time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion) the Administrator may evaluate attainment of the Performance Goals. The Administrator may revise or refine Performance Goals in its discretion.

Performance Goals. The specific performance goals for Performance Awards shall be, on an absolute or relative basis, established based on one or more of the following business criteria ("Business Criteria") for the Company on a segregated or consolidated basis or for one or more of the Company's subsidiaries, segments, divisions, or business units, as selected by the Board:

Performance Goals. A Covered Executive may receive a bonus payment under the Plan based on the attainment of one or more performance goals that relate to the financial and operational metrics of the Company established by the Compensation Committee including but not limited to # revenue and/or annual recurring revenue (ARR), # expenses, # bookings, # operating income, # operating margin, # net operating income, # free cash flow, # earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), # earnings per share, # customer retention, # increase in share price, and # any other metric or criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, establish sales commissions and bonus payments under this Plan for sales personnel based on performance goals that are applicable to sales performance.

Performance Goals. Awards to Participants shall be based solely upon the attainment of performance targets related to one or more performance goals selected by the Committee from among the goals specified below. For purposes of this [Section 5], the formula on which performance targets are based with respect to Awards under this Plan shall be determined by the Committee and may be one or more of the following Company, subsidiary, operating unit or division financial performance measures:

For purposes of Sections 9, 10, 11 and 12 hereof, “performance goals” shall mean the criteria and objectives, determined by the Committee pursuant to the Plan, which shall be satisfied or met during the Period of Restriction or Performance Period, as the case may be, as a condition to the Participant’s receipt, in the case of a grant of the Restricted Stock, of the shares of Stock subject to such grant, or in the case of Awards of Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units or Performance Shares, of payment with respect to such Awards.

PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Committee, in its discretion, shall in the case of Grants (including, in particular, Grants other than Options) intended to qualify for an exception from the limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code ("Performance-Based Grants") # establish one or more performance goals ("Performance Goals") as a precondition to the issue of Grants, and # provide, in connection with the establishment of the Performance Goals, for predetermined Grants to those Grantees (who continue to meet all applicable eligibility requirements) with respect to whom the applicable Performance Goals are satisfied. The Performance Goals shall be based upon the criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereto which is hereby incorporated herein by reference as though set forth in full. The Performance Goals shall be established in a timely fashion such that they are considered preestablished for purposes of the rules governing performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Prior to the award of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Committee shall have certified that any applicable Performance Goals, and other material terms of the Grant, have been satisfied. Performance Goals which do not satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 13 may be established by the Committee with respect to Grants not intended to qualify for an exception from the limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.

If, at the time of grant, the Committee intends a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award or Cash-Based Award to qualify as “other performance based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), the Committee must establish performance goals for the applicable Performance Period no later than 90 days after the Performance Period begins (or by such other date as may be required under Code Section 162(m)). Such performance goals must be based on one or more of the criteria described in Section 11(b). “Performance Period” means the period selected by the Committee during which performance is measured for purpose of determining the extent to which an award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or a Cash-Based Award has been earned.

Adjustments to Performance Goals, Performance Formula or Performance Criteria. For purposes of determining Awards, the Committee may adjust or modify any of the Performance Goals, Performance Formula and/or the Performance Criteria for any Performance Period in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of such Participants under the Plan # in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary item, transaction, event or development, # in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other unusual or nonrecurring event affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles or business conditions, and # for any other reason or circumstance deemed relevant to the Committee in its sole discretion.

Performance Period. Your RSUs are subject to a three-year performance period that began on January 1, 2024 and ends on December 31, 2026 (the “Performance Period”).

Performance Period. The Performance Units granted hereunder will become payable based on the satisfaction of the Performance Measures described in Section 6 over the Performance Period, which shall be the period beginning January 1, ​ and ending December 31, ​.

Performance Period. The Performance Period for Performance Shares and Performance Units is the period over which the Performance Goals are measured. The Performance Period is set by the Committee for each Award; however, in no event shall an Award have a Performance Period of less than one year.

Corporate and Individual Performance Weightings: (Include attachment or other performance weighting information as necessary.)

Performance Period; Timing For Establishing Performance Goals. Achievement of performance goals in respect of such Performance Awards shall be measured over such periods of at least 12 months’ duration as may be specified by the Administrator. Performance goals shall be established on or before the dates that are required or permitted for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The levels of performance required with respect to any performance goals may be expressed in absolute or relative levels and may be based upon a set increase, set positive result, maintenance of the status quo, set decrease or set negative result. Performance goals may differ for Awards to different Participants. The Administrator shall specify the weighting (which may be the same or different for multiple performance goals) to be given to each performance goal for purposes of determining the final amount payable with respect to any such Performance Award. Any one or more of the performance goals or the business criteria on which they are based may apply to the Participant, a department, unit, division or function within the Company (except for total stockholder return or earnings per share criteria) or any one or more Subsidiaries, and may apply either alone or relative to the performance of other businesses or individuals (including industry or general market indices).

Performance Measures and Performance Goals. For each Plan Year, objective measures of performance will be identified to determine whether a Bonus target is earned in whole or in part. Performance measures may be based on consolidated net income, pre-tax income, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), income from continuing operations, income before extraordinary items, income from continuing operations before extraordinary items, earnings per share, earnings per share growth, return on equity, return on invested capital, return on net assets, revenue, revenue growth, gross margin, operating margin, net margin, cash flow, free cash flow, operating cash flow, working capital, stock price, total shareholder return or other measure adopted by the Committee or its delegate. Other non‑financial measures may be used such as safety, product launch timeliness, customer satisfaction, customer service and efficiency, workforce measures such as productivity, diversity, or turnover. Performance criteria based on such performance measures may be expressed in either, or a combination of, absolute or relative values or rates of change. Performance goals (“Performance Goals”) based on such performance measures may be based either on the performance of the Company, a subsidiary or subsidiaries, affiliate, department, or business unit, or upon a comparison of such performance with the performance of a peer group of companies, prior performance periods or other measure selected or defined by the Committee.

Performance Award. Performance Award means the incentive compensation awarded and payable to an Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 3.1 for a Performance Period.

Performance Award. An Award for which exercise, full enjoyment or receipt thereof by the Participant is contingent on satisfaction or achievement of a performance objective. The terms and conditions of each Performance Award, including the performance objective and performance period, shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement with the Participant or in a subplan of the Plan which is incorporated by reference into the Award Agreement

Determination of Payout Formula or Formulae. The Administrator will establish a Payout Formula or Formulae for purposes of determining the Actual Award (if any) payable to each Participant. Each Payout Formula may # be based on a comparison of actual performance to the Performance Goals, # provide for the payment of a Participant’s Target Award if the Performance Goals for the Performance Period are achieved at the predetermined level and # provide for the payment of an Actual Award greater than or less than the Participant’s Target Award, depending upon the extent to which actual performance exceeds or falls below the Performance Goals, subject to the limitations in [Section 3.7].

Section # Establishment of Performance Goals and Performance Period. The Committee shall establish in writing the performance period applicable to each Performance Grant (“Performance Period”) and one or more performance goals (“Performance Goals”) which, when measured at the end of the Performance Period, shall determine the final value of the Performance Grant to be paid to the Grantee. Once established, the Performance Goals shall not be changed during the Performance Period.
