1.2 Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular.

2. CERTAIN CONDITIONSOFTHE AWARD.
2.1 Compliance with Local Law. The Participant agrees that the Participant will not acquire shares pursuant to the Award, or transfer, assign, sell or otherwise deal in such shares except in compliance with Local Law.
1
2.2 Service Conditions. By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Any notice period mandated under Local Law shall not be treated as Service for the purpose of determining the vesting of the Award; and the Participant’s right to receive shares in settlement of the Award after termination of Service, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Participant’s active Service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under Local Law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of the Plan, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Participant’s Service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Grant Notice, if the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Participating Company to which the Participant renders Service (the “Service Recipient”) without Cause or if the Participant resigns for Good Reason, in each case not in connection with a CIC Qualified Termination (as each capitalized term is defined in the Participant’s employment, consulting or other service contract) prior to full settlement of the Award, the Participant will remain eligible to vest (determined in accordance with the terms set forth in the Grant Notice) in a pro rata portion (which may be the entirety) of the Certified Restricted Stock Units or the Certified Make-Whole Units (each as defined below). “Certified Restricted Stock Units” means the Restricted Stock Units eligible to vest, as determined on the Certification Date following the end of the Performance Period based on actual Company performance. “Certified Make-Whole Units” means the Make-Whole Units (as defined in the Grant Notice) eligible to vest, as determined on the Certification Date following the end of the Performance Period based on actual Company performance. For purposes of this Section 2.2(b), the pro rata portion (which may be the entirety) of the Certified Restricted Stock Units or the Certified Make-Whole Units, as the case may be, shall be determined as set forth in the below table:
| Case 1 | Termination of Service occurs during the Performance Period | The product calculated by multiplying (a) the total number of Certified Restricted Stock Units by (b) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of full months (without any rounding) of continuous Service that the Participant provided during the Performance Period and (y) the denominator of which is 12, multiplied by one-third (1/3).
| ||
For Make-Whole Units: The product calculated by multiplying (a) the total number of Certified Make-Whole Units by (b) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of full months (without any rounding) of continuous Service that the Participant provided during the Performance Period and (y) the denominator of which is 12.
| ||||
| Case 2 | Termination of Service occurs after the Performance Period but before the Certification Date | The sum calculated by adding (a) the product of the total number of Certified Restricted Stock Units multiplied by one-third (1/3) (such product, “One Year’s RSUs”) and (b) the product of One Year’s RSUs multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of full months (without any rounding) of continuous Service that the Participant provided after the Performance Period and (y) the denominator of which is 12.
|
2
For Make-Whole Units: The total number of Certified Make-Whole Units.
| ||||
| Case 3 | Termination of Service occurs on or after the Certification Date | The product calculated by multiplying One Year’s RSUs by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of full months (without any rounding) of continuous Service that the Participant provided during the year in which the separation occurred and (y) the denominator of which is 12. |
All Units in excess of the pro rata portion determined in accordance the above table shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
If a Change in Control occurs upon or following such termination but prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Units remaining outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Change in Control (after application of the foregoing provisions in this Section 2.2(b)) shall fully vest and become nonforfeitable at the target level of achievement (determined in accordance with the Grant Notice) immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and the date on which the Change in Control is consummated will be treated as the Settlement Date for purposes of Section 7 hereof.
If a Change in Control occurs upon or following such termination after the end of the Performance Period, then the Units remaining outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Change in Control (after application of the foregoing provisions in this Section 2.2(b)) shall fully vest and become nonforfeitable based on actual Company performance immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and the date on which the Change in Control is consummated will be treated as the Settlement Date for purposes of Section 7 hereof.
(c) If the Participant incurs a CIC Qualified Termination, all Units that remain outstanding and unvested (after application of the provisions of Section 9) shall fully vest on the date of such termination, and, in the event that the date of such CIC Qualified Termination occurs prior to the occurrence of any Change in Control, the Units that remain outstanding and unvested shall vest at the target level of achievement (determined in accordance with the Grant Notice); provided, however, if such CIC Qualified Termination occurs after the end of the Performance Period, then the aforesaid Units shall vest based on actual Company performance.
(d) The vesting of the Award shall cease upon, and no Units shall vest following, the termination of the Participant’s Service for any reason other than as set forth in Section 2.2 (b) or (c). Further, all unvested Units shall be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
(e) The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company. It is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement.
3
(f) The grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.
(g) All decisions with respect to future Award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.
(h) The Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Service with any Participating Company and shall not interfere with the ability of any Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time, with or without Cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law.
(i) The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(j) The Award and resulting shares, if any, are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for Service of any kind rendered to any Participating Company, and which is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment, consulting or other service contract, if any.
(k) The Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, payment in lieu of notice, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments.
(l) In the event that the Participant does not provide Service to the Participating Company, the Award grant will not be interpreted to form an employment, consulting or other service contract or relationship with the Participating Company.
(m) The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the Participant obtains shares upon settlement of the Award, the value of those shares may increase or decrease.
(n) In consideration of the grant of an Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Award or diminution in value of the Award or shares acquired upon settlement of the Award resulting from termination of the Participant’s Service (for any reason whether or not in breach of Local Law), and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and each other Participating Company from any such claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen then, by signing this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such a claim.
(o) Neither the Company nor Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award, or any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired upon settlement.

All questions of interpretation concerning the Grant Notice, this Agreement, the Plan or any other form of agreement or other document employed by the Company in the administration of the Plan or the Award shall be determined by the Committee. All such determinations by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest in the Award, unless fraudulent or made in bad faith. Any and all actions, decisions and determinations taken or made by the Committee in the exercise of its discretion pursuant to the Plan or the Award or other agreement thereunder (other than determining questions of interpretation pursuant to the preceding sentence) shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest in the Award. Any Officer shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to any matter, right, obligation or election which is the responsibility of or which is allocated to the Company herein, provided that the Officer has actual authority with respect to such matter, right, obligation or election.
4. THE AWARD.
4.1 Grant of Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Total Number of the Units set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 and Section 10. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, each Unit represents a right to receive on a date determined in accordance with the Grant Notice and this Agreement one (1) share of Stock.
4.2 No Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Units or shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units.
4.3 Dividend Equivalent Units. On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a) the product of (i) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii) the total number of the Units and Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited to the Participant pursuant to the Award and which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to Section 6 below as of such date, by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Any resulting fractional Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Such additional Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
5. VESTINGOF UNITS.
Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement shall become Vested Units or Vestable Units as provided in the Grant Notice. Dividend Equivalent Units shall become Vested Units at the same time as the Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
6
6. FORFEITUREOF UNITS.
In the event that the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Service Recipient for Cause, insofar as permitted under Local Law the Participant shall forfeit, and the Company shall automatically reacquire, all Units (whether vested or unvested), and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor.
7. SETTLEMENTOFTHE AWARD.
7.1 Issuance of Shares of Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date upon which Units satisfy the vesting conditions (such date, the “Settlement Date”) (but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Units vest), the Company shall issue to the Participant with respect to each such Vested Unit one (1) share of Stock. Shares of Stock issued in settlement of Units shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such restriction as may be required pursuant to Section 7.3, Section 7 or the Company’s Securities Trading Policy or any stock ownership guidelines or holding period guidelines established by the Board from time to time.
7.2 Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit any or all shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award with the Company’s transfer agent, including any successor transfer agent, to be held in book entry form, or to deposit such shares for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the Company has notice. Except as provided by the foregoing, a certificate for the shares acquired by the Participant shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.
7.3 Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of United States federal, state law and Local Law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable United States federal, state or Local Law, or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, or the impracticality of doing so, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
7.4 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the settlement of the Award.
7
8. TAX WITHHOLDING.
Regardless of any action the Company or the Service Recipient takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due or deemed legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company and the Service Recipient (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Units, including the grant and vesting of Units, subsequent delivery of shares or cash related to such Units or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to such Units and receipt of any dividend equivalent payments (if any) and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
The Participant shall satisfy Tax-Related Items by having the Company or the Service Recipient deduct from shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to the Participant in settlement of the Award a number of whole shares having a Fair Market Value not in excess of the amount of such Tax-Related Items determined by the maximum applicable statutory withholding rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may instead, upon notice to the Participant, require the Participant to pay the Company or the Service Recipient in cash any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan or the Participant’s receipt of Units (including, without limitation, by the Service Recipient withholding such amounts from the Participant’s wages, which the Participant hereby authorizes). If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant understands that he or she will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the settled Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying Tax-Related Items due as a result of the settlement of the Units. Further, if the Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
In the event that the amount of the withholding is greater than the amount of Tax-Related Items, the Company or the Service Recipient may refund the amount of the over-withholding to the Participant (with no entitlement to any Stock equivalent), or alternatively, the Company or the Service Recipient may require the Participant to seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event that the amount of the withholding is less than the amount of Tax-Related Items, the Participant may be required to pay the under-withheld Tax-Related Items to the Company and/or the Service Recipient or directly to the applicable tax authorities.
The Company may refuse to deliver the shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with Tax-Related Items.
The Participant acknowledges and understands that the Participant should consult a tax advisor regarding the Participant’s tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.

9. EFFECTOF CHANGEIN CONTROL.
9.1 Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control during the Performance Period where a Replacement Award (as defined below) is provided to the Participant at the time of the Change in Control in lieu of the Units, the Units that remain outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Change in Control shall remain outstanding and unvested, but the performance conditions with respect thereto shall be deemed satisfied at the target level of achievement. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control where a Replacement Award is not provided to the Participant in lieu of the Units, the Units shall immediately vest at the target level of achievement; provided, however, if the Change in Control occurs after the end of the Performance Period, then the aforesaid Units shall vest based on actual Company performance. In either case, all Units in excess of the aforesaid vesting shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, and Participant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other amount with respect thereto.
9.2 Replacement Award. A “Replacement Award” is an Award that (i) is the same (i.e., the Award continues) or is of the same type as the Award that is replaced or adjusted by a Replacement Award (the “Replaced Award”) (i.e., restricted stock units); (ii) has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award at the time of the Change in Control; (iii) is subject to the same vesting schedule as the Replaced Award; (iv) relates to equity securities of the Company or its successor upon the Change in Control, or a parent entity of the Company or its successor upon the Change in Control, which securities are subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (v) if the Participant is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, the tax consequences to the Participant under the Code of the Replacement Award are not less favorable to the Participant than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award; and (vi) its other terms and conditions are not less favorable to the Participant than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including, but not limited to, the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied. The determination of whether the requirements for a Replacement Award are satisfied will be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its good faith discretion (taking into account the requirements of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv)(B) and compliance of the Replaced Award or Replacement Award with Section 409A).
10. ADJUSTMENTSFOR CHANGESIN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company and the requirements of Section 409A, to the extent applicable, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, or any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing, appropriate and proportionate adjustments
9
shall be made in the number of Units subject to the Award and/or the number and kind of shares or other property to be issued in settlement of the Award, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participant’s rights under the Award. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.” Any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends paid on Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, which shall be treated in accordance with Section 4.3) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of ownership of Units acquired pursuant to this Award will be immediately subject to the provisions of this Award on the same basis as all Units originally acquired hereunder. Any fractional Unit or share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall be determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
11. RIGHTSASA STOCKHOLDER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEEOR CONSULTANT.
The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares which may be issued in settlement of this Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4.3 and Section 10. If the Participant is an Employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment contract between the Service Recipient and the Participant, the Participant’s employment is “at will” and is for no specified term unless otherwise required under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Service of the Service Recipient or interfere in any way with any right of the applicable Service Recipient to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time.
12. LEGENDS.
The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable United States federal, state or non-U.S. securities law, including Local Law, restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Award in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.
13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
13.1 Termination or Amendment. The Committee may terminate or amend the Plan or this Agreement at any time; provided, however, that except as set forth in Section 9 in connection with a Change in Control or in Section 10, no such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Participant unless such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law or government regulation. No amendment or addition to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.
10
13.2 Nontransferability of the Award. Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock on the applicable Settlement Date, neither this Award nor any Units subject to this Award shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to the Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.
13.3 Further Instruments. The parties hereto agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the meanings set forth in the Plan, the Grant Notice and the Agreement.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Units granted to the Participant under the Plan if the Participant resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. If the Participant is a citizen or resident (or is deemed to be a citizen or resident for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, or if the Participant relocates to another country after the grant of the Units, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the additional terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to the Participant.
NOTIFICATIONS
This Appendix may also include information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of April 2022. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because such information may be out-of-date when the Participant’s Units vest and/or the Participant sells any shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation. As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. The Participant is therefore advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to the Participant’s situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident (or is deemed to be a citizen or resident for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, or if the Participant relocates to another country after the grant of the Units, the notifications contained herein may not apply to the Participant in the same manner.
