Exhibit 10.5
[Mondelez International Logo]
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 3, 2017)
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the employee (the “Employee”) named in the award statement provided to the Employee (the “Award Statement”) as of the date set forth in the Award Statement (the “Grant Date”) pursuant to the provisions of the Mondelēz International, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), Deferred Stock Units (the “Grant”) representing a right to receive a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth in the Award Statement, upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth below, in the Award Statement and in the Plan. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Global Deferred Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall have the same meaning as defined under the Plan. All references to action of or approval by the Committee shall be deemed to include action of or approval by any other person(s) to whom the Committee has delegated authority to act.
The Grant is subject to the following terms and conditions (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement):
The Employee must either execute and deliver an acceptance of the terms set forth in this Agreement or electronically accept the terms set forth in this Agreement, in the manner and within a period specified by the Committee. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, cancel the Deferred Stock Units if the Employee fails to accept this Agreement and related documents within the specified period or using the procedures for acceptance established by the Committee.
1. Restrictions. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the restrictions on the Deferred Stock Units shall lapse and the Deferred Stock Units shall vest on the Vesting Date shown in the Award Statement (the “Vesting Date”), provided that the Employee remains an active employee of the Mondelēz Group during the entire period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date.
2. Termination of Employment Before Vesting Date. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee or except as expressly provided in this Agreement, if the Employee terminated employment with the Mondelēz Group prior to the Vesting Date, the Employee shall forfeit all rights to the Deferred Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Deferred Stock Units. If the Employee terminates employment with the Mondelēz Group prior to the Vesting Date due to:
(a) the Employee’s death or Disability (as defined below in paragraph 21), the restrictions on the Deferred Stock Units shall lapse and the Deferred Stock Units shall become fully vested on the date of death or Disability; or
(b) upon the Employee’s Retirement (as defined below in paragraph 21), or as otherwise determined by the Committee, and provided the Deferred Stock Units are not otherwise accounted for, or included in, the Employee’s severance or retirement arrangement with the Mondelēz Group and the Employee timely executes a general release and waiver of claims in a form and manner determined by the Company in its sole discretion, then the Deferred Stock Units will vest on a pro-rata basis. The proration amount will be a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months
(excluding the month of the Grant Date and including partial months thereafter, rounded up to the next whole month) the Employee was actively employed by the Mondelēz Group during the vesting period and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the vesting period.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee’s employment shall be deemed to be terminated when he or she is no longer actively employed by the Mondelēz Group (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Employee is employed or the terms of the Employee’s employment agreement, if any). The Employee shall not be considered actively employed during any period for which he or she is receiving, or is eligible to receive, salary continuation, notice period or garden leave payments, or other comparable benefits or through other such arrangements that may be entered into that give rise to separation or notice pay. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Deferred Stock Units. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, leaves of absence shall not constitute a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement.
3. Voting and Dividend Rights. The Employee does not have the right to vote the Deferred Stock Units or receive dividends or dividend equivalents prior to the date, if any, such Deferred Stock Units vest and are paid to the Employee in the form of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof. However, the Employee shall receive cash payments (less applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined below)) in lieu of dividends otherwise payable with respect to shares of Common Stock equal in number to the Deferred Stock Units that have not been forfeited, as such dividends are paid.
4. Transfer Restrictions. This Grant and the Deferred Stock Units are non-transferable and may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise pledged and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, the Grant shall immediately become null and void and the Deferred Stock Units shall be forfeited. These restrictions shall not apply, however, to any payments received pursuant to paragraph 8 below.
5. Withholding Taxes. The Employee acknowledges that regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Employee’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Employee or deemed by the Company or the Employer, in their discretion, to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Deferred Stock Units, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Deferred Stock Units, the receipt of any dividends or cash payments in lieu of dividends, or the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant of the Deferred Stock Units or any aspect of the Employee’s participation in the Plan to reduce or eliminate his or her liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee becomes subject to any Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for (including report) Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to issue or deliver shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units if Employee fails to comply with his or her
2
Tax-Related Items obligations or the Company has not received payment in a form acceptable to the Company for all applicable Tax-Related Items, as well as amounts due to the Company as “hypothetical taxes”, if applicable, pursuant to the then-current international assignment and tax and/or social insurance equalization policies and procedures of the Mondelēz Group, or arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment thereof have been made.
In this regard, the Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, in their sole discretion and without any notice or further authorization by the Employee, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Employee (or otherwise due by the Employee as set forth in this paragraph 5) and any hypothetical taxes from the Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units. Alternatively, or in addition, the Company may (i) deduct the number of Deferred Stock Units having an aggregate value equal to the amount of Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes due from the total number of Deferred Stock Units awarded, vested, paid or otherwise becoming subject to current taxation; (ii) instruct the broker it has selected for this purpose (on the Employee’s behalf and at the Employee’s direction pursuant to this authorization without further consent) to sell any shares of Common Stock that the Employee acquires upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units to meet the Tax-Related Items withholding obligation and any hypothetical taxes, except to the extent that such a sale would violate any U.S. federal securities law or other applicable law; and/or (iii) satisfy the Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes arising from the granting or vesting of the Deferred Stock Units, as the case may be, through any other method established by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold in shares of Common Stock issuable at vesting of the Deferred Stock Units upon the relevant withholding event or the Committee may determine that a particular method be used to satisfy any required withholding. Finally, the Employee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.
Depending upon the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts (in accordance with Section 14(d) of the Plan) or other applicable withholding rates in the Employee’s jurisdiction(s), including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent shares of Common Stock. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Grant, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items and/or hypothetical taxes due as a result of any aspect of the Employee’s participation in the Plan.
6. Death of Employee. If any of the Deferred Stock Units shall vest upon the death of the Employee, any Common Stock received in payment of the vested Deferred Stock Units shall be registered in the name of and delivered to the estate of the Employee.
7. Payment of Deferred Stock Units. Each Deferred Stock Unit granted pursuant to this Grant represents an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to issue to the Employee, on or as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days, after the date the Deferred Stock Units vest pursuant to paragraph 1 or 2 and otherwise subject to the terms of this Agreement (including the country-specific
3
terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement), the value of one share of the Common Stock. Except as otherwise expressly provided and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Appendix A hereto), such issuance shall be made to the Employee (or, in the event of his or her death to the Employee’s estate or beneficiary as provided above) in the form of Common Stock as soon as practicable following the vesting of the Deferred Stock Units pursuant to paragraph 1 or 2.
8. Special Payment Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee (i) is subject to U.S. federal income tax on any part of the payment of the Deferred Stock Units, (ii) is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and (iii) will become eligible for Retirement (A) for Deferred Stock Units with a Vesting Date between January 1 and March 15, before the calendar year preceding the Vesting Date and (B) for Deferred Stock Units with a Vesting Date after March 15, before the calendar year in which such Vesting Date occurs, then any payment of Deferred Stock Units under paragraph 7 that is on account of his or her separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code shall be delayed until six months following such separation from service. In addition, if such an Employee is not vested in his or her Deferred Stock Units, and the Employee (i) becomes eligible for Retirement while employed by a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company that would not be a “service recipient” with respect to the Grant within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Code or (ii) becomes eligible for Retirement and subsequently transfers to a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company that would not be a “service recipient” with respect to the Grant within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Code, then the Employee’s Deferred Stock Units shall be paid to the Employee at such time in accordance with paragraph 7 (based on the value of shares of Common Stock at the time of payment), subject to a six-month delay from the date treated as a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code.
9. Restrictions and Covenants.
(a)In addition to such other conditions as may be established by the Company or the Committee, in consideration for making a Grant under the terms of the Plan, the Employee agrees and covenants as follows for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of the Employee’s termination of employment from the Mondelēz Group:
1. | to protect the Mondelēz Group’s legitimate business interests in its confidential information, trade secrets and goodwill, and to enable the Mondelēz Group’s ability to reserve these for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Mondelēz Group, which is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Mondelēz Group, the Employee, without the express written permission of the Executive Vice President of Human Resources of the Company, will not engage in any conduct in which the Employee contributes his/her knowledge and skills, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as an executive, employer, employee, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, agent, partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern or any other similar capacity to a competitor or to an entity engaged in the same or similar business as the Mondelēz Group, including those engaged in the business of production, sale or marketing of snack foods (including, but not limited to gum, chocolate, confectionary products, biscuits or any other product or service the Employee has reason to know has been under development by the Mondelēz Group during the Employee’s employment with the Mondelēz Group). The Employee will not engage in any activity that may require or inevitably require the Employee’s use or disclosure of the Mondelēz Group’s confidential information, proprietary information and/or trade secrets; |
4
2. | to protect the Mondelēz Group’s investment in its employees and to ensure the long-term success of the business, the Employee, without the express written permission of the Executive Vice President of Human Resources of the Company, will not directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or induce the termination of employment of any employee of the Mondelēz Group; and |
3. | to protect the Mondelēz Group’s investment in its development of goodwill and customers and to ensure the long-term success of the business, the Employee will not directly or indirectly solicit (including, but not limited to, e-mail, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax, instant message, SMS text messaging and social media) or attempt to directly or indirectly solicit, contact or meet with the current or prospective customers of the Mondelēz Group for the purpose of offering or accepting goods or services similar to or competitive with those offered by the Mondelēz Group. |
The provisions contained herein in paragraph 9 are not in lieu of, but are in addition to the continuing obligation of the Employee (which the Employee acknowledges by accepting any Grant under the Plan) to not use or disclose the Mondelēz Group’s trade secrets or Confidential Information known to the Employee until any particular trade secret or Confidential Information becomes generally known (through no fault of the Employee), whereupon the restriction on use and disclosure shall cease as to that item. For purposes of this agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, certain sales, marketing, strategy, financial, product, personnel, manufacturing, technical and other proprietary information and material which are the property of the Mondelēz Group. The Employee understands that this list is not exhaustive, and that Confidential Information also includes other information that is marked or otherwise identified as confidential or proprietary, or that would otherwise appear to a reasonable person to be confidential or proprietary in the context and circumstances in which the information is known or used.
(b)A main purpose of the Plan is to strengthen the alignment of long-term interests between employees and the Mondelēz Group by providing an ownership interest in the Company, and to prevent former employees whose interests become adverse to the Company from maintaining that ownership interest. By acceptance of any Grant (including the Deferred Stock Units) under the Plan, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that if the Employee breaches any of the covenants set forth in paragraph 9(a):
1. | all unvested Grants (including any unvested Deferred Stock Units) shall be immediately forfeited; |
2. | the Company may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any unexpired, unpaid or deferred Grants (including the Deferred Stock Units) at any time if the Employee is not in compliance with all terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement including, but not limited to, paragraph 9(a); |
3. | the Employee shall repay to the Mondelēz Group the net proceeds of any Plan benefit that occurs at any time after the earlier of the following two dates: (i) the date twelve (12) months immediately preceding any such violation; or (ii) the date six (6) months prior to the Employee’s termination of employment with the Mondelēz Group. The Employee shall repay to the Mondelēz Group the net proceeds in such a manner and on such terms and conditions as may be required by the Mondelēz Group, and the Mondelēz Group shall be entitled to set-off against the amount of any such net proceeds any amount |
5
owed to the Employee by the Mondelēz Group, in a way that is intended to avoid the application of penalties under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, or other applicable law. For purposes of this paragraph, net proceeds shall mean the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock less any Tax-Related Items; and
4. | the Mondelēz Group shall be entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security as the Employee acknowledges that such breach would cause the Mondelēz Group to suffer irreparable harm. The aforementioned equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages or other available forms of relief. |
(c)If any provision contained in this paragraph 9 shall for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after the Employee’s acceptance of a Grant under the Plan be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration or territory, the Employee agrees to join the Mondelēz Group in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then applicable law.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no section of this Agreement is intended to or shall limit, prevent, impede or interfere with the Employee’s non-waivable right, without prior notice to the Company, to provide information to, participate in investigations by or testify in proceedings before any federal, state or local government subdivision or agency, including but not limited to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Congress, or any agency Inspector General, regarding the Mondelēz Group’s past or future conduct, or to engage in any activities protected under applicable whistleblower statutes, or to receive and fully retain a monetary award from a government-administered whistleblower award program for providing information directly to a government agency. The Employee does not need prior authorization from the Mondelēz Group to make any such reports or disclosures and is not required to notify the Mondelēz Group that the Employee has made such reports or disclosures.
10. Clawback Policy/ Forfeiture. The Employee understands and agrees that in the Committee’s sole discretion, the Company may cancel all or part of the Deferred Stock Units or require repayment by the Employee to the Company of all or part of any cash payment or shares of Common Stock underlying any vested Deferred Stock Units pursuant to any recovery, recoupment, clawback and/or other forfeiture policy maintained by the Company, including a violation of paragraph 9 above, from time to time. In addition, any payments or benefits the Employee may receive hereunder shall be subject to repayment or forfeiture as may be required to comply with the requirements under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Exchange Act, rules promulgated by the Commission or any other applicable law, including the requirements of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, as may be in effect from time to time.
11. Original Issue or Transfer Taxes. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to the delivery of the shares of Common Stock underlying the vested Deferred Stock Units, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 5.
6
12. Grant Confers No Rights to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement) shall give any employee the right to be retained in the employment of any member of the Mondelēz Group, affect the right of any Employer to terminate any employee, or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with any member of the Mondelēz Group. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not constitute an inducement to, or condition of, the employment of the Employee.
13. Nature of the Grant. In accepting the Deferred Stock Units, the Employee acknowledges, understands, and agrees that:
(a)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, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the Grant is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Grants, or benefits in lieu of Deferred Stock Units, even if Deferred Stock Units have been granted in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future Grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;
(d)the Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(e)the Deferred Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f)the Grant and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
(g)the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted;
(h)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Deferred Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Deferred Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Employee may provide as a director of any entity of the Mondelēz Group;
(i)the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee should consult with the Employee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan and that the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan or Employee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock;
7
(j)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Grant of Deferred Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Deferred Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company, nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Company’s Common Stock; and
(k)if the Employee is providing services outside the United States:
i. | the Deferred Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; |
ii. | neither the Company, the Employer nor any member of the Mondelēz Group shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Employee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Deferred Stock Units or any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Employee upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units or of any proceeds resulting from the Employee’s sale of such shares; and |
iii. | no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Deferred Stock Units resulting from the termination of the Employee’s employment or other service relationship by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Employee is employed or the terms of his or her employment agreement, if any). |
14. Data Privacy. The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Agreement and any other grant materials (“Data”) by and among the Mondelēz Group for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Employee’s participation in the Plan.
The Employee understands that the Mondelēz Group may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, the Employee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security, passport or insurance number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of the Deferred Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock or other equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
The Employee understands that Data will be transferred to UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”), or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Employee understands that Data may also be transferred to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, KPMG LLP or such other public accounting
8
firm that may be engaged by the Company in the future. The Employee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Employee’s country. If the Employee resides outside the United States, the Employee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Employee’s local human resources representative. The Employee authorizes the Company, UBS, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Employee’s participation in the Plan. If the Employee resides outside the United States, the Employee understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee’s local human resources representative. Further, the Employee understands that the Employee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Employee does not consent, or if the Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Employee’s employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Employee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Employee Deferred Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such grants. The Employee also understands that the Company has no obligation to substitute other forms of grants or compensation in lieu of the Deferred Stock Units as a consequence of the Employee’s refusal or withdrawal of his or her consent. Therefore, the Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Employee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Employee understands that he or she may contact the Employee’s local human resources representative.
Further, upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Employee agrees to provide an executed data privacy form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Employee for the purpose of administering the Employee’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Employee’s country, either now or in the future. The Employee understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Employee’s fails to provide any such consent or agreement as requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
15. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be (i) given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon deposit for delivery by an internationally recognized express mail courier service or upon deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (if the parties are within the United States), with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address as shown in these instruments, or to such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party or (ii) delivered electronically through the Company’s electronic mail system (including any notices delivered by a third-party) and shall be deemed effectively given upon such delivery. Any documents required to be given or delivered to the Employee related to current or future participation in the Plan may also be delivered through electronic means as described in paragraph 16 below.
9
16. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
17. Language. The Employee acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or, alternatively, the Employee acknowledges that he or she will seek appropriate assistance, to understand the terms and conditions in the Agreement. Furthermore, if the Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.
18. Interpretation. The terms and provisions of the Plan (a copy of which will be made available online or furnished to the Employee upon written request to the Office of the Corporate Secretary, Mondelēz International, Inc., Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, U.S.A.) are incorporated herein by reference. To the extent any provision in the Award Statement or this Agreement is inconsistent or in conflict with any term or provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern. The Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions that may arise in connection with the Grant or this Agreement, including whether the Employee is no longer actively employed. Any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive.
19. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of the Company and any person or persons who shall acquire any rights hereunder in accordance with this Agreement, the Award Statement or the Plan.
20. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Employee’s interest except as provided in the Award Statement, the Plan or this Agreement or by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Employee. Nothing in the Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement (except as expressly provided therein) is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any persons other than the parties. The Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to the rights and duties of the parties. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Statement, the Plan or this Agreement, the Employee is deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., and agrees that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Henrico County, Virginia, or the federal courts for the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in a manner that avoids the imposition of taxes and other penalties under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, including complying with Section 6(a)(vii) of the Plan in the event of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall any member of the Mondelēz Group be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses incurred by the Employee due to any failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
10
21. Miscellaneous. In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, distribution, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, issuance of rights or warrants or other similar transaction or event affecting the Common Stock after the date of this Grant, the Board or the Committee shall make adjustments to the number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to this Grant, including, but not limited to, the substitution of equity interests in other entities involved in such transactions, to provide for cash payments in lieu of Deferred Stock Units, and to determine whether continued employment with any entity resulting from such a transaction will or will not be treated as continued employment with any member of the Mondelēz Group, in each case subject to any Board or Committee action specifically addressing any such adjustments, cash payments, or continued employment treatment.
For the purposes of this Agreement, (a) the term “Disability” means permanent and total disability as determined under the procedures established by the Company for purposes of the Plan, and (b) the term “Retirement” means, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the termination of employment on or after the date the Employee is age 55 or older with at least ten (10) or more years of active continuous employment with the Mondelēz Group.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Employee’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable Retirement treatment (as set forth above) that applies to the Deferred Stock Units being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply the favorable Retirement treatment at the time of termination and the Deferred Stock Units will be treated as they would under the rules that apply if the Employee’s employment is terminated for reasons other than Retirement, death or Disability.
22. Compliance With Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the shares of Common Stock, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Common Stock issuable upon settlement of the Deferred Stock Units prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Employee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares of Common Stock with the Commission or any state, provincial or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock. Further, the Employee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement without the Employee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of shares of Common Stock.
23. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
24. Headings. Headings of paragraphs and sections used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement, and must not be used in construing it.
25. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the Deferred Stock Units and on any shares
11
of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
26. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx/Market Abuse Laws. The Employee acknowledges that, depending on the Employee’s country, broker’s country, or where shares of the Company’s Common Stock are listed, the Employee may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Employee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock, rights to such shares (e.g., Deferred Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock under the Plan during such times as the Employee is considered to have “material nonpublic information” or “insider information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in the relevant jurisdiction). Local xxxxxxx xxxxxxx laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Employee places before the Employee possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Employee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy, and the requirements of applicable laws may or may not be consistent with the terms of the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy. The Employee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that the Employee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
27. Exchange Control, Tax and Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. The Employee acknowledges that there may be exchange control, tax, foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect the Employee’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage, bank account or legal entity outside the Employee’s country. The Employee may be required to report such accounts, balances, assets and/or the related transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Employee also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Employee acknowledges that it is the Employee’s responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Employee should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.
28. Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Deferred Stock Units shall be subject to any terms set forth in the Appendix to this Agreement for the Employee’s country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the terms for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
29. Waiver. The Employee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or of any subsequent breach by the Employee or any other participant of the Plan.
30. Conformity to Securities Laws. The Employee acknowledges that the Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any and all regulations and rules promulgated thereunder by the Commission, including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

APPENDIX A
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 3, 2017)
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Deferred Stock Units granted to the Employee under the Plan if he or she resides and/or works in one of the countries listed herein. If the Employee is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Employee is currently residing and/or working, or if the Employee transfers to another country after receiving the Deferred Stock Units, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Employee. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Global Deferred Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”).
This Appendix A also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which the Employee should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Employee not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Employee vests in the Deferred Stock Units or sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Employee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Employee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Employee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Employee’s situation.
Finally, if the Employee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment after the Deferred Stock Units are granted, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Employee in the same manner.

Data Privacy Notice. The following provision replaces in its entirety paragraph 14 of the Agreement:
Mondelēz International, Inc., with registered address at Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, X.X.X. is the controller responsible for the processing of the Employee's Personal Data in connection with the Agreement and the Plan.
Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Employee is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses the following types of personal data about the Employee: name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in any entity in the Mondelēz Group, details of all Deferred Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, settled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Employee or the Employer (“Personal Data”) for the exclusive legitimate purpose of granting Deferred Stock Units and implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan.
Purposes and Legal Bases of Processing. The legal basis for the processing of the Personal Data by the Company is the necessity of the data processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under the Agreement and for the Company’s legitimate business interests of managing the Plan and generally administering employee equity awards. The Employee understands that providing the Company with Personal Data is necessary for the performance of the Agreement and that the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Employee's ability to participate in the Plan.
International Data Transfers. The Company is located in the United States which means that it will be necessary for Personal Data to be transferred to, and processed in, the United States. The Employee understands and acknowledges that the United States is not subject to an unlimited adequacy finding by the European Commission and that the Employee’s Personal Data may not have an equivalent level of protection as compared to the Employee’s country of residence. To provide appropriate safeguards for the protection of the Employee’s Personal Data, the Personal Data is transferred to the Company based on data transfer and processing agreements implementing the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Further, the Employee understands that the Company transfers his or her Personal Data, or parts thereof to third parties based on agreements implementing the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. These third parties include UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. UBS has opened or will open an account for the Employee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Employee understands that Personal Data may also be transferred to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, KPMG LLP or such other public accounting firm that may be engaged by the Company. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider or other service providers and share the Personal Data with such other provider(s) serving the Company in a similar manner. The Employee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with UBS, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or KPMG LLP with such agreement being a condition to the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
16
The Employee may request a copy of the safeguards used to protect his or her Personal Data or the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data by contacting the Company at: XxxxXxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxXXX@xxxx.xxx.
Data Retention. The Company will use the Personal Data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Employee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Personal Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.
Data Subject Rights. To the extent provided by law, the Employee has the right to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about the Employee and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing or processed in non-compliance with applicable legal requirements, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of Personal Data in certain situations where the Employee feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, (vi) request portability of Personal Data that the Employee has actively or passively provided to the Company, where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or a contractual agreement with the Employee and is carried out by automated means, or (vii) lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. To receive additional information regarding the Employee’s rights, raise any other questions regarding the practices described in the Agreement or to exercise his or her rights, the Employee should contact the Company at: XxxxXxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxXXX@xxxx.xxx.

No payment constituting breach of law in Australia.

In no event will shares of Common Stock be issued or delivered in Bahrain. The issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Deferred Stock Units described herein has not and will not be registered in Bahrain and hence, the shares of Common Stock described herein may not be admitted or used for offering, placement or public circulation in Bahrain.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Employee is required to report any specified foreign property annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the Employee’s specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. The form must be filed by April 30th of the following year. Specified foreign property includes shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and may include the Deferred Stock Units. The Deferred Stock Units must be reported--generally at a nil cost--if the $100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property the Employee holds. If shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB” ) of the shares of Common Stock. The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at vesting for Deferred Stock Units, but if the Employee owns other shares of Common Stock, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. It is the Employee’s responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.
CHILE
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The offer of Deferred Stock Units constitutes a private offering of securities in Chile effective as of the Grant Date. The offer of Deferred Stock Units is made subject to general ruling N° 336 of the Chilean Commission for the Financial Market (“CMF”). The offer refers to securities not registered at the securities registry or at the foreign securities registry of the CMF, and, therefore, such securities are not subject to oversight of the CMF. Given that the Deferred Stock Units are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide public information about the Deferred Stock Units or the shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the Deferred Stock Units and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the CMF, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.

Exchange Control Information. The Employee is not required to repatriate any funds he or she receives with respect to the Deferred Stock Units and/or the shares of Common Stock (e.g., proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or dividends received) to Chile. However, if the Employee decides to repatriate such funds, he or she must do so through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office) if the amount of the funds repatriated exceeds US$10,000. Further, if the value of the aggregate investments held by the Employee outside of Chile exceeds US$5,000,000 (e.g., shares of Common Stock and cash proceeds acquired under the Plan), the Employee must report the investments annually to the Central Bank using Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations.
Exchange control requirements are subject to change. The Employee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that may apply in connection with the Deferred Stock Units.

In either case, the Employee must file Tax Form 1929 by June 30 each year, which should be submitted electronically through the CIRS website: xxx.xxx.xx.
CHINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following provisions apply to Employees who are People’s Republic of China nationals working in China, as well as to any individuals who are otherwise subject to applicable exchange controls, as determined by the Company:
Settlement of Deferred Stock Units and Sale of Shares. Due to legal restrictions in China, upon the vesting of Deferred Stock Units, the Employee acknowledges that the Deferred Stock Units may be paid to the Employee in cash rather than shares of Common Stock. If shares of Common Stock are issued upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units, in the Company’s sole discretion, the shares may be required to be immediately sold. Thus, as a condition of the grant of the Deferred Stock Units, the Employee agrees to the immediate sale of any shares of Common Stock issued to Employee upon vesting and settlement of the Deferred Stock Units. The Employee further agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with any mandatory sale of such shares of Common Stock (on the Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) and the Employee expressly authorizes the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares. The Employee acknowledges that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock at any particular price. Upon any such sale of the shares, the proceeds, less any Tax-Related Items and broker’s fees or
23
commissions, will be remitted to the Employee in accordance with any applicable exchange control laws and regulations.
In the event that the Employee is not required to sell shares of Common Stock immediately upon vesting, any shares of Common Stock issued to the Employee must be maintained in an account with UBS Financial Services, Inc. or such other broker as may be designated by the Company until the shares of Common Stock are sold through that broker. In addition, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that he or she must sell any shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting as soon as practicable following the termination of the Employee’s employment or other service relationship with the Mondelēz Group and in no event later than six (6) months following the termination of the Employee’s employment or other service relationship with the Mondelēz Group, or within any other such time frame the Company determines to be necessary or advisable to comply with local requirements.
Exchange Control Restrictions. The Employee understands and agrees that, due to exchange control laws in China, he or she will be required to immediately repatriate to China any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired from the Deferred Stock Units and any dividends and/or dividend equivalents paid to the Employee in cash. The Employee further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effected through a special exchange control account established by a member of the Mondelēz Group and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that any cash proceeds received in connection with the Plan will be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to him or her. The proceeds may be paid in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, the Employee acknowledges that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be delivered to this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Mondelēz Group is under no obligation to secure any currency conversion rate and may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions in China. The Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the date the shares of Common Stock acquired from the Deferred Stock Units are sold or any dividends are paid and the time that (i) the Tax-Related Items are converted to local currency and remitted to the tax authorities and (ii) net proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to the Employee. The Employee acknowledges that the Mondelēz Group will not be held liable for any delay in delivering the proceeds to the Employee. The Employee agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be requested by the Company or the Company’s designated broker to effectuate any of the remittances, transfers, conversions or other processes affecting the proceeds.
The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. For Deferred Stock Units, these additional requirements may include, but are not limited to, a requirement to maintain any shares of Common Stock acquired from the Deferred Stock Units in an account with a Company-designated broker and/or to sell any shares of Common Stock that the Employee receives immediately upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units (as explained above) or upon termination of the Employee’s service with the Mondelēz Group.

The Employee acknowledges that pursuant to Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code, the Plan and related benefits do not constitute a component of the Employee’s “salary” for any legal purpose.

The registration method will vary depending on whether or not cash is remitted from Colombia to acquire shares of Common Stock.

Colombian residents are personally responsible for complying with applicable exchange control requirements in Colombia.

In particular, the Employee understands and agrees that any unvested Deferred Stock Units as of Employee’s termination date will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, retirement, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.
Furthermore, the Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant the Deferred Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Mondelēz Group. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Mondelēz Group on an ongoing basis other than to the extent set forth in the Agreement.
