WHEREAS , pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Plan it has been determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the Cash-Based Award (“ Award ”) provided herein to the Participant.

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1. Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt . This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the Award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

2. Grant of Cash-Based Award . The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, the amount of cash specified above. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason, and no adjustments shall be made to the amount of cash specified herein, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement.

3. Earning of Award .

(a) General . Subject to the Plan, this Agreement and the Participant’s continued employment through the payment date described in Section 4 below, the amount of the Award that will be earned is a function of the extent to which the [________________] (as defined below) performance goal, [__________________] (as defined below) performance goal, and [____________________](as defined below) performance goal, as set forth in Exhibit [__] , are achieved during the Performance Period.

(b) Weighting . In determining the amount of the Award, each performance goal will be weighted. As set forth in Exhibit [__] , the [______________] performance goal will be weighted [__]%, the [___________] performance goal will be weighted [__]%, and the [__________] performance goal will be weighted [__]%.
  
(c) Change in Control Prior to Earnings Release . If a Change in Control occurs prior to the date the Company files its [____] Earnings Release with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Performance Period will be deemed to end on the earlier of (i) the closing of the transaction that results in a Change in Control and (ii) December 31, [____] and the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the Target Amount described above multiplied by a fraction, the

1



numerator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period that have elapsed prior to the deemed end of the Performance Period, as set forth above, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period. To the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the amount owed pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be paid in a single sum cash payment no later than thirty (30) days following the closing of the transaction that result in a Change in Control (and if the Company concludes such accelerated payment would be impermissible under Section 409A of the Code, payment will be made at the time described in Section 4(a)).

(a) General . Subject to the Participant’s continued employment and the provisions of Section 3 and Section 5, below, the earned Award, if any, will be paid in a single lump sum cash payment no later than thirty (30) days after the date the Company files its [_____] Earnings Release with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in no event will the earned Award, if any, be paid later than March 15, [______].

(b)  Committee Certification; Negative Discretion . The Committee shall be responsible for determining whether, and to what extent, the performance goals set forth in this Agreement have been achieved. The Committee may reasonably rely on information from, and representations by, individuals within the Company in making such determination and, when made, such determination shall be final and binding on the Participant. The Committee shall retain the power to adjust the performance goals, the level of attainment of the performance goals or otherwise decrease (but not increase) the amount payable with respect to the Award.

5. Company Recoupment of Awards . Pursuant to Section 14.24 of the Plan, the Participant acknowledges that this Award is subject to potential forfeiture or recoupment to the fullest extent called for by any Company recoupment policy, other agreement or arrangement with a participant, or applicable federal or state law including, without limitation, any Company obligation to clawback “incentive-based compensation” under Section 10D of the Exchange Act. In addition, any Company recoupment policy, other agreement, or applicable law, the Company may require the Participant to forfeit any future Award opportunity or require the Participant to repay any amounts previously paid pursuant to this Agreement if: (a) the Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause; or (b) the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that the Participant engaged in serious misconduct that results or might reasonably be expected to result in financial or reputational harm to the Company including, without limitation, a situation where the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements and the Participant received an Award that was larger than the Award the Participant should have received as a result of such noncompliance. By accepting this Award, the Participant agrees to be bound by, and comply with, the terms of any such forfeiture or recoupment request by promptly returning any compensation subject to recovery by the Company as a result of the application of applicable federal or state law, any recoupment or clawback policy of the Company, including without limitation, the provisions of this Section 5.

6. Non-Transferability . No portion of the Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged by the Participant.

9. Acceptance . The Award must be accepted by the Participant within a period of 60 days after the Grant Date by executing this agreement in accordance with Section 17, below. Subject to the Committee’s discretion, if the award is not accepted within this time period, the Award will be immediately forfeited.

THIS PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between Carvana Co., a corporation organized in the State of Delaware (the “ Company ”), and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the Carvana Co. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “ Plan ”), which is administered by the Committee; and

WHEREAS , it has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the Restricted Stock Units (“ RSUs ”) provided herein to the Participant.

1. Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt . This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the Award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement.

3. Vesting .

(a) Vesting Schedule . Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) and 3(c), below, all of the RSUs subject to this Agreement shall vest if the Company files a periodic report (i.e., Form 10-Q or Form 10-K) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reflecting [performance goal] (as defined below) for a calendar quarter (with the date the Company files such report referred to herein as the “ Vesting Date ”).

(b) Continued Employment Required; Forfeiture . Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant must be employed on the Vesting Date to vest in the RSUs. For the avoidance of doubt, all RSUs that are unvested shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s Termination for any reason.

(c) Change in Control Prior to the Vesting Date . If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Vesting Date described in Section 3(a), the Participant shall become vested in a proportionate number of RSUs based on the Company’s progress toward the attainment of [performance goal] as of the end of the calendar quarter (i.e., March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31) immediately preceding the date of the closing of the transaction or event that results in the Change in Control. The number

1



of RSUs that will vest upon a Change in Control will be the total number of RSUs subject to this Agreement multiplied by a percentage based on the Company’s progress towards the attainment of [performance goal] (the “ Attainment Percentage ”). The Vesting Date for any RSUs that vest pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be the date of the closing of the transaction or event that results in the Change in Control.

(d) [Performance Goal] .

4. Delivery of Shares .

(a) General . Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), within thirty (30) days following the Vesting Date, the Participant shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock that correspond to the number of RSUs that vested on the applicable Vesting Date.

(b)  Blackout Periods . If the Participant is subject to any Company “blackout” policy or other trading restriction imposed by the Company on the date such distribution would otherwise be made pursuant to Section 4(a), such distribution shall be instead made on the earlier of (i) the date that the Participant is not subject to any such policy or restriction and (ii) the later of (A) the end of the calendar year in which such distribution would otherwise have been made and (B) a date that is immediately prior to the expiration of two and one-half months following the date such distribution would otherwise have been made hereunder.

5. Dividends; Rights as Stockholder . The Participant shall not be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock covered by any RSU unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares. Further, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by any RSU unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares.

6. Non-Transferability . No portion of the RSUs may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged by the Participant, other than to the Company as a result of forfeiture of the RSUs as provided herein, unless and until payment is made in respect of vested RSUs in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Participant has become the holder of record of the vested shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder.

7. Governing Law . All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.

8. Withholding of Tax . The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the RSUs and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may otherwise refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock otherwise required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement. Any such withholding obligation with regard to the Participant may, at the Company’s discretion, be satisfied by reducing the amount of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Participant hereunder.

9. Legend . The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of Common 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 of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section 9.
