Page 2 Constellation 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement Constellation Energy Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the individual (the “Participant”) named in the award notice attached hereto (the “Award Notice”) as of the date set forth in the Award Notice (the “Grant Date”), pursuant to the provisions of the Constellation 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a restricted stock unit award (the “Award”) with respect to the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, without par value (“Stock”), set forth in the Award Notice, upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this agreement (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan. Award Subject to Acceptance of Agreement. The Award shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and shall be deemed to be accepted by the Participant, unless the Participant declines the Award in writing within 90 days after the Grant Date. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall not be entitled to any privileges of ownership with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the Award unless and until, and only to the extent, such shares become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof and the Participant becomes a stockholder of record with respect to such shares. As of each date on which the Company pays a regular cash dividend to record owners of shares of Common Stock (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), the number of shares of Common Stock that are subject to the Award shall be increased by (i) the product of the total number of shares of Common Stock that are subject to the Award immediately prior to the record date for such Dividend Payment Date, but that have not been issued pursuant to Section 4 as of such record date, multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Common Stock, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such Dividend Payment Date. Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Award, including the vesting conditions set forth in the Award Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 2.2, if the Participant has elected to defer the Award pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Non-Employee Director Deferred Stock Unit Program (the “Deferral Program”), then in lieu of the additional Restricted Stock Units described in clause 2.2, the Award shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents (as defined by the Deferral Program) in accordance with the terms of the Deferral Program. Restriction Period and Vesting. Service-Based Vesting Condition. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the Award shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Award


 
DB1/ 154625009.2 Page 3 Notice. The period of time prior to the full vesting of the Award shall be referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.” Termination of Service. (a) Termination of Service Due to Death or Disability. If the Participant’s service with the Company terminates prior to the end of the Restriction Period due to death or Disability, then the Award shall be 100% vested upon such termination of service. For purposes of this Award, “Disability” means a termination of Participant’s service due to the Participant’s inability to perform the essential functions of Participant’s position, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a continuous period of at least twelve months, as determined solely by the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). (b) Termination of Service for Any Other Reason. If the Participant’s service with the Company terminates prior to the end of the Restriction Period for any reason other than those specified in paragraph (a), then the Award shall be immediately and automatically forfeited by the Participant and cancelled by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein limits the Committee’s authority pursuant to Section 1.3(c) of the Plan to grant a pro rata portion of the award to the Participant or to otherwise approve adjustments to the award in the event of a termination of service due to reasons other than death or disability. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Board may, in its discretion: (i) require that the Restriction Period shall lapse in full or in part; (ii) require that shares of capital stock of the company resulting from such Change in Control, or the parent corporation thereof, be substituted for some or all of the shares of Stock subject to the Award, with an appropriate and equitable adjustment to the Award as determined by the Board; and/or (iii) require outstanding Awards, in whole or in part, to be surrendered to the Company by the Participant, and to be immediately cancelled by the Company, and to provide for the Participant to receive (A) a cash payment in an amount equal to the number of shares of Stock then subject to the portion of the Award surrendered, to the extent the Restriction Period has lapsed or will lapse pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 3.3, multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock as of the date of the Change in Control; (B) shares of capital stock of the corporation resulting from such Change in Control, or a parent corporation thereof, having a Fair Market Value not less than the amount determined in clause (iii)(A) of this Section 3.3; or (C) a combination of a payment of cash pursuant to clause (iii)(A) of this Section 3.3 and the issuance of shares pursuant to clause (iii)(B) of this Section 3.3.
