EVOQUA WATER TECHNOLOGIES CORP.

2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT

AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Award Agreement”) is entered into by and among Evoqua Water Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) and the individual set forth on the signature page to that certain Notice of Grant (the “Notice”) to which this Award Agreement is attached. The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereby, to the extent not controlled by the terms and conditions contained in the Plan, shall be as set forth in the Notice and this Award Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning attributed to such terms in the Notice or, if not defined therein, in the Plan, unless the context requires otherwise.

1.No Right to Continued Director Service

Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to the continuation of his or her service arrangement, or in either case to interfere with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other affiliates to Terminate the Grantee.

2.Term of Restricted Stock Units

This Award Agreement shall remain in effect until the Restricted Stock Units have fully vested and been settled or been forfeited by the Grantee as provided in this Award Agreement.

3.Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.

Subject to the remainder of this Section 3, the Restricted Stock Units will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) on the first anniversary of the Vesting Start Date, subject to the Grantee not having Terminated as of such vesting date.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 5, if the Grantee Terminates for any reason, the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that has not vested as of such date shall terminate upon such Termination and be deemed to have been forfeited by the Grantee without consideration.

4.Settlement

Within thirty (30) days following the date on which any portion of the Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 3 or Section 5 of this Award Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee one (1) Share in settlement of each Restricted Stock Unit that becomes vested on such vesting date (each such date, an “Original Distribution Date”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) the Grantee is subject to the Company’s insider trading policy, including any policy permitting officers and directors to sell Shares only during certain “window” periods, in effect from time to time (collectively, the “Policy”), the

Grantee is subject to a lock-up agreement (a “Lock-Up Agreement”) with one or more underwriters or placement agents in connection with an offering or other placement of securities by the Company, or the Grantee is otherwise prohibited from selling Shares in the public market and any Shares underlying the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units are scheduled to be delivered on an Original Distribution Date that (A) does not occur during an open “window period” applicable to the Grantee or on a day on which the Grantee is permitted to sell Shares underlying any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that has vested pursuant to a written plan that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Policy, as applicable, (B) occurs within a period during which transactions in Company securities by the Grantee are prohibited under the terms of a Lock-Up Agreement (a “Lock-Up Period”) or (C) does not occur on a date when the Grantee is otherwise permitted to sell Shares on the open market, and (ii) the Company elects not to satisfy the Grantee’s tax withholding obligations by withholding Shares from the Grantee’s distribution, then such Shares shall not be delivered on such Original Distribution Date and shall instead be delivered, as applicable, on (X) the first business day of the next occurring open “window period” applicable to the Grantee pursuant to the Policy, (Y) the first business day immediately following the end of the Lock-Up Period, or (Z) the next business day on which the Grantee is not otherwise prohibited from selling Shares in the open market, but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year in which the Original Distribution Date occurs.

5.Termination of Service

(a)Subject to Section 5(b), if the Grantee incurs a Termination for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that have not previously vested shall terminate as of the date of the Grantee’s Termination. If the Grantee incurs a Termination for Cause, then the Restricted Stock Units (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Restricted Stock Units that are unvested and vested but not yet settled) shall be forfeited and terminate immediately without consideration upon the effective date of such Termination for Cause.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 5(a), if the Grantee incurs a Termination of service due to death, Disability, Mandatory Retirement or Change in Control, then the portion of Restricted Stock Units that have not previously vested will fully vest as of the date of Grantee’s Termination. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Mandatory Retirement” shall have the meaning set forth in the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy.

6.Prohibited Activities

Unless otherwise required by law, the Restricted Stock Units shall not be (i) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, (ii) pledged or otherwise hypothecated or (iii) subject to attachment, execution or levy of any kind, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution; provided, however, that any transferred Restricted Stock Units will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement and the Grantee’s estate or beneficiary appointed in accordance with the Plan will remain liable for any applicable withholding tax that may be imposed by any federal, state or local tax authority.

7.No Rights as Stockholder

The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units until the effective date of issuance of the Shares and the entry of the Grantee’s name as a shareholder of record on the books of the Company following delivery of the Shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. Additionally, as a condition to the issuance of any Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units, the Company reserves the right to require the Grantee to become a party to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of December 11, 2014 and the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated as of October 16, 2017, in each case, as may be amended from time to time.

8.Taxation Upon Settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; Tax Withholding

The Grantee understands that the Grantee will recognize income, for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, as applicable, in respect of the vesting and/or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The acceptance of the Shares by the Grantee shall constitute an agreement by the Grantee to report such income in accordance with then applicable law and to cooperate with Company and its subsidiaries in establishing the amount of such income and corresponding deduction to the Company and/or its subsidiaries for its income tax purposes. The Grantee is responsible for all tax obligations that arise as a result of the vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

9.Securities Laws

Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee will make such written representations, warranties, and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with securities laws or with this Award Agreement. Grantee hereby agrees not to offer, sell or otherwise attempt to dispose of any Shares issued to the Grantee upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units in any way which would: (x) require the Company to file any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar filing under state law or the laws of any other county) or to amend or supplement any such filing or (y) violate or cause the Company to violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other Federal, state or local law, or the laws of any other country. The Company reserves the right to place restrictions on any Shares the Grantee may receive as a result of the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

10.Modification, Amendment, and Termination of Restricted Stock Units

This Award Agreement may not be modified, amended, terminated and no provision hereof may be waived in whole or in part except by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Grantee and no modification shall, without the consent of the Grantee, alter to the Grantee’s material detriment or materially impair any rights of the Grantee under this Award Agreement except to the extent permitted under the Plan.

13.Section 409A

Nothing contained herein shall constitute any representation or

warranty by the Company regarding compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall have no obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any additional income tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code on any Person and the Company, its Subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective employees and representatives, shall have no liability to the Grantee with respect thereto.

If there is any conflict between the Notice, this Award Agreement and the Plan, then the applicable terms of the Plan shall govern.

18.Waiver

Waiver by any party of any breach of this Award Agreement or failure to exercise any right hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach or right whether or not of the same or a similar nature. The failure of any party to take action by reason of such breach or to exercise any such right shall not deprive the party of the right to take action at any time while or after such breach or condition giving rise to such rights continues.
