Section 1. Grant of Performance-Based Award
Elanco, an Indiana corporation (“Elanco” or the “Company”), has granted to the Eligible Individual who has received this Performance-Based Award Agreement (the “Grantee”) an award of performance-based restricted stock units (the “Performance-Based Award” or the “Award”). The number of shares of Elanco Common Stock (the “Shares”) (as set forth on the first page of this document) underlying the Award will vest based on the attainment of the Company's performance conditions, in whole or in part, for the Performance Period and the other vesting conditions set forth below under Section 2. The Grantee may view the number of Shares underlying the Award by logging on to the UBS Financial Services Inc. website at xxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
The Award is made pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2018 Elanco Stock Plan (the “Plan”) and to the terms and conditions set forth in this Performance-Based Award Agreement, including any appendices, exhibits and addenda hereto (the “Award Agreement”). Unless otherwise stated in the Plan where the terms in this Award Agreement may govern in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement, in the event of any such conflict, the terms of the Plan shall otherwise govern.
Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
Section 2. Vesting
a.The Award shall vest at the close of business in Greenfield, Indiana, U.S.A. on the last day of the Performance Period with respect to the Shares that become eligible to vest based on the attainment of the performance conditions set forth on page 1 of this Award Agreement, provided the Grantee continues in Service through the last day of the Performance Period.
For purposes of the vesting determination under this Section 2, the Shares underlying this Award shall be divided in relation to the Performance Period as follows:
| Performance Period Segment | Portion of Shares Eligible to Vest | ||||
| Fiscal Year 2021 | 33% of Shares | ||||
| Fiscal Year 2022 | 33% of Shares | ||||
| Fiscal Year 2023 | 34% of Shares | ||||
i. As soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the number of Shares eligible to vest based on the Company's net income (“Net Income”) ascertained from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for each fiscal year or other specified measurement period in the Performance Period in accordance with accounting principles currently applicable in the United States (“US GAAP”), adjusted to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee as set forth in Section 2(c) below for the Performance Period, the corresponding payout multiple and the number of Shares subject to this Award.

Elanco Performance-Based Award Agreement
ii. The Net Income for the Performance Period shall be ascertained from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for each fiscal year or other specified measurement period of the Performance Period in accordance with U.S. GAAP each year, adjusted to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee as set forth in Section 2(c) below.
iii. The payout multiple corresponding to the Net Income (as shown on page 1 of this document) for each fiscal year or other specified measurement period shall then be applied to the number of Shares subject to this Award.
iv. The number of Shares eligible to vest with respect to this Award will be the number of Shares resulting from the calculations described in subsections (ii) and (iii) above.
b.In the event the Grantee’s Service is terminated prior to the last day of the Performance Period for any reason or in any circumstance other than a Qualifying Termination (as described below), the Award shall be forfeited. Further, any portion of the Award that does not vest in accordance with Section 3(c) shall be forfeited in the event the Grantee’s Service is terminated due to a Qualifying Termination.
c. In the event of any unplanned events that may impact the business results positively or negatively, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may adjust the Net Income for the Performance Period for purposes of determining the payout multiple. The adjustments may include:
i. the impact from the operations of any business divestiture, such as a major product or geography;
ii. the impact of any acquisitions, significant collaborations, restructuring or external litigation;
iii. foreign currency fluctuation impact greater than a 2% change to applicable plan rates;
iv. the impact of any non-GAAP adjustment provided each adjustment is approved by the Committee; and/or
v. any unforeseen adjustment provided such adjustment is approved by the Committee.
Section 3. Adjustments for Certain Employment Status Changes
Unless the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that such adjustments are not advisable after consideration of employment laws in the country where the Grantee resides, the number of Shares shall be adjusted for changes in employment status during the Performance Period as follows:
a. Leaves of Absence. The number of Shares eligible to vest shall be reduced proportionally for any portion of the total days in the Performance Period during which the Grantee is on an approved unpaid leave of absence longer than ninety (90) days.

Elanco Performance-Based Award Agreement
b. Demotions, Disciplinary Actions and Misconduct. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, cancel this Performance-Based Award or reduce the number of Shares eligible to vest, prorated according to time or other measure as determined appropriate by the Committee, if during any portion of the Performance Period the Grantee has been (i) subject to disciplinary action by the Company or (ii) determined to have committed a material violation of law or Company policy or to have failed to properly manage or monitor the conduct of an employee who has committed a material violation of law or Company policy whereby, in either case, such conduct causes significant harm to the Company, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company.
c. Qualifying Termination. In the event the Grantee’s employment is subject to a Qualifying Termination (as defined below), a pro-rata portion of the Award will vest on the originally scheduled vesting date (unless the Committee specifies another vesting date, in its sole discretion, under Section 3.3(j) of the Plan) based on the ratio of (x) the number of full or partial months worked by the Grantee from the Grant Date to the Qualifying Termination to (y) the total number of months from the Grant Date to the scheduled vesting date.
For purposes of this Award Agreement, a “Qualifying Termination” means any one of the following:
i.the date of the Grantee's Retirement;
ii.the date the Grantee’s Service is terminated due to the Grantee’s death;
iii.the date the Grantee’s Service is terminated by reason of Disability;
iv.the date the Grantee’s Service is terminated due to a closing of a plant site or other corporate location;
v.the date the Grantee's Service is terminated due to the elimination of a work group, functional or business unit or other broadly applicable reduction in job positions; or
vi.the date the Grantee’s Service is terminated as a result of the Grantee’s failure to locate a position within the Company or an Affiliate following the placement of the Grantee on reallocation or medical reassignment in the United States.
"Retirement" for purposes of this Award means either (A) age sixty (60) unless otherwise prescribed under Applicable Laws or (B) thirty (30) years of Service with the Company or an Affiliate, including any years of Service with Xxx Xxxxx & Company ("Lilly") prior to the Company's spin-off from Lilly.
The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether and when a Qualifying Termination has occurred and/or if a leave of absence or transfer of employment between the Company and an Affiliate or between Affiliates constitutes a termination of Service. Such determination shall be final and binding on the Grantee.

b. In the event that the Award is not converted, assumed, substituted, continued or replaced by a successor or surviving corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, in connection with a Transaction, then immediately prior to the Transaction, the Award shall accelerate and vest, with the portion of the Award subject to Company performance vesting determined based on the target level of attainment.

f.In the event of the death of the Grantee, the payments described above shall be made to the successor of the Grantee.
Section 6. Rights of the Grantee
a. No Trust; Grantee’s Rights Unsecured. Neither this Performance-Based Award nor any action pursuant to or in accordance with this Performance-Based Award shall be construed to create a trust of any kind. The right of Grantee to receive payments of cash or Shares under this Performance-Based Award shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company
b. No Shareholder Rights. The Performance-Based Award does not entitle the Grantee to any rights of a shareholder of the Company until such time as the Performance-Based Award is settled and Shares are issued or transferred to the Grantee.
Section 7. Prohibition Against Transfer
The right of a Grantee to receive payments of Shares and/or cash under this Award may not be transferred except to a duly appointed guardian of the estate of the Grantee or to a successor of the Grantee by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution and then only subject to the provisions of this Award Agreement.

Section 8. Responsibility for Taxes
Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Grantee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the Performance-Based Award, the expiration of the Performance Period, the issuance of Shares, the transfer and issuance of Shares, the receipt of any cash pursuant to the Award, the receipt of any dividends and the sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to this Award; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Grantee becomes subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to the applicable taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee shall pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.
a. In the case of any cash payment made to the Grantee pursuant to this Award, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any obligation for Tax-Related Items by withholding from the cash amount paid to the Grantee or from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer.
b. If the Performance-Based Award is paid in Shares and the Grantee is not subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to (i) withhold from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer, (ii) arrange for the sale of Shares to be issued pursuant to the Award (on the Grantee’s behalf and at the Grantee’s direction pursuant to this authorization or such other authorization as the Grantee may be required to provide to the Company or its designated broker in order for such sale to be effectuated) and withhold from the proceeds of such sale, and/or (iii) withhold in Shares otherwise issuable to the Grantee pursuant to this Award.
c. If the Performance-Based Award is paid in Shares and the Grantee is subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold in Shares otherwise issuable to the Grantee pursuant to this Award, unless the use of such withholding method is prevented by applicable law or has materially adverse accounting or tax consequences, in which case the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of the methods set forth in Section 8(b)(i) and (ii) above.
Page 6
Elanco Performance-Based Award Agreement
Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Grantee will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash as soon as practicable and without interest and will not be entitled to the equivalent amount in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares to which Grantee is entitled pursuant to the Performance-Based Award, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are withheld to satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related Items.
The Company may require Grantee to pay the Company and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of any aspect of this Award that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver Shares or any cash payment to the Grantee if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligation in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 8.
Section 9. Section 409A Compliance
To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Performance-Based Award comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”) and this Award shall be interpreted and applied by the Committee in a manner consistent with this intent in order to avoid the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A.
Section 10. Nature of Grant
In accepting this Performance-Based Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
a. the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan;
b. the Performance-Based Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Awards, or benefits in lieu thereof, even if Awards have been granted in the past;

d. the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, leave pay, pension or welfare or retirement benefits or similar mandatory payments;
g. the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
h. no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the Grantee ceasing to provide employment or other services to the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of local labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of the Grantee's employment agreement, if any);
i. for purposes of the Award, the Grantee’s employment will be considered terminated as of the date Grantee is no longer actively providing services to the Company, an Employer or an Affiliate and the Grantee’s right, if any, to earn and be paid any portion of the Award, after such termination of employment or services (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not such termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of the Grantee's employment agreement, if any) will be measured by the date the Grantee ceases to actively provide services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of the Grantee's employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Award (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to be actively providing services while on a leave of absence);
j. unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Committee in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award 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 Shares; and
k. none of the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or any amounts due to the Grantee pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
Section 11. Data Privacy
a. Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer may collect, process and use certain personal information about the Grantee, and persons closely associated with the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or
Page 8
Elanco Performance-Based Award Agreement
directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor (“Data”), for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Grantee’s consent. Where required under Applicable Laws, Data may also be disclosed to certain securities or other regulatory authorities where the Company’s securities are listed or traded or regulatory filings are made and the legal basis, where required, for such disclosure is the Applicable Laws.
b. Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data to UBS Financial Services Inc. and/or its affiliated companies (“UBS”), an independent service provider, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner. The Grantee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan.
c. International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers are based in the United States. The Grantee’s country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. For example, the European Commission has issued a limited adequacy finding with respect to the United States that applies only to the extent companies register for the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program, which is open to companies subject to Federal Trade Commission jurisdiction and in which the Company participates with respect to employee data. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data is the Grantee’s consent.
d. Data Retention. The Company will hold and use the Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws.
e. Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that data subject rights regarding the processing of Data vary depending on Applicable Law and that, depending on where the Grantee is based and subject to the conditions set out in such Applicable Law, the Grantee may have, without limitation, the right to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Data the Company holds about the Grantee and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Data about the Grantee that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, (iii) obtain the erasure of Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing, (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of the Grantee’s Data in certain situations where the Grantee feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Data for legitimate interests, and (vi) request portability of the Grantee’s Data that the Grantee has actively or passively provided to the Company or the Employer (which does not include data derived or inferred from the collected data), where the processing of such Data is based on consent or the Grantee’s employment and is carried out by automated means. In case of concerns, the Grantee understands that Grantee may also have the right to lodge a
Page 9
Elanco Performance-Based Award Agreement
complaint with the competent local data protection authority. Further, to receive clarification of, or to exercise any of, the Grantee’s rights, the Grantee understands that Grantee should contact Grantee’s local human resources representative.
f. Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and the Grantee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke the Grantee’s consent, the Grantee’s salary from or employment and career with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant this Award or other awards to the Grantee or administer or maintain such awards.
g. Declaration of Consent. By accepting the Award and indicating consent via the Company’s online acceptance procedure, the Grantee is declaring that Grantee agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the collection, processing and use of Data by the Company and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned above, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a European (or other non-U.S.) data protection law perspective, for the purposes described above.
Section 12. Additional Terms and Conditions
a.Country-Specific Conditions. The Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Appendix to this Award Agreement for the Grantee’s country. Moreover, if the Grantee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Grantee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Award Agreement.
b.Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx / Market Abuse Laws. The Grantee may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including but not limited to the United States and the Grantee’s country of residence, which may affect the Grantee’s ability to directly or indirectly, for the Grantee or for a third party, acquire or sell, or attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of Shares or rights to acquire Shares (e.g., the Performance-Based Award) under the Plan during such times as the Grantee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as determined under the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdictions). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy. The Grantee acknowledges that it is Grantee’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Grantee should consult with Grantee’s personal legal advisor on this matter.

Page 10

benefits or proceeds the Grantee may receive hereunder shall be subject to forfeiture and/or repayment to the Company to the extent required to comply with any requirements imposed under Applicable Laws, or pursuant to any clawback or compensation recovery policy of the Company.

Investment in shares involves a degree of risk. Grantees who elect to participate in the Plan should monitor their participation and consider all risk factors relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the Plan as set out in the Award Agreement and the Additional Documents.

The Grantee should consider obtaining Grantee’s own financial product advice from an independent person who is licensed by ASIC to give advice about participation in the Plan.
Additional Risk Factors for Australian Residents
The Grantee should have regard to risk factors relevant to investment in securities generally and, in particular, to the holding of Common Stock. For example, the price at which the Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no guarantee that the price of the Common Stock will increase. Factors which may affect the price of Common Stock include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed
Page 15
Elanco Performance-Based Award Agreement
stocks, general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, commodity and oil prices, changes to government fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies, legislation or regulation, the nature of the markets in which the Company operates and general operational and business risks.
In addition, the Grantee should be aware that the Australian dollar value of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Award will be affected by the U.S. dollar/Australian dollar exchange rate. Participation in the Plan involves certain risks related to fluctuations in this rate of exchange.
Common Stock
Common stock of a U.S. corporation is analogous to ordinary shares of an Australian corporation. Each holder of the Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each Share held.
Dividends may be paid on the Common Stock out of any funds of the Company legally available for dividends at the discretion of the Board.
The Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States of America under the symbol “ELAN.”
The Shares are not liable to any further calls for payment of capital or for other assessment by the Company and have no sinking fund provisions, pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or redemption provisions.
Ascertaining the Market Price of Shares
The Grantee may ascertain the current market price of the Common Stock as traded on the New York Stock Exchange at xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx under the symbol “ELAN.” The Australian dollar equivalent of that price can be obtained at: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx-xxxxx.xxxx.
This is not a prediction of what the market price of the Common Stock will be on any applicable vesting date or when Shares are issued to the Grantee or at any other time or of the applicable exchange rate at such time.

Copies of the Plan and the Plan prospectus are available at: xxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. The following information is provided in compliance with an exemption under New Zealand law.

Annual Report and Financial Statements. Grantee has the right to receive from Elanco, on request and free of charge, a copy of Elanco’s latest annual report, financial statements and audit report on those financial statements. Grantee also can view or obtain copies of these documents electronically at the following website: xxxxx://xxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx.xxxx.
Securities Law Notice. This is an offer of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). To the extent that the RSUs vest and are settled in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement, they will be converted into shares of Elanco common stock. The shares will give Grantee a stake in the ownership of Elanco. The Grantee may receive a return on the shares if Elanco pays dividends.
If Elanco encounters financial difficulties and is wound up, Grantee will be paid only after all creditors have been paid and may lose some or all of Grantee’s investment (if any). New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors make informed decisions. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme. As a result, Grantee may not be given all of the information that is usually required and will have fewer other legal protections for this investment. The Grantee should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing to the Award.
The RSUs are not listed, but Elanco shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This means that if Grantee receives Elanco shares following the vesting of RSUs, Grantee may be able to sell the shares on the NYSE if there are interested buyers. The price will depend on the demand for the shares. For information about risk factors affecting Elanco’s business that may affect the value of the shares, please refer to the risk factors discussion in Elanco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at xxx.xxx.xxx and xxxxx://xxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxx-xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx.xxxx.
The Grantee may request copies of Elanco’s SEC filings free of charge by contacting Elanco. The Grantee should read the referenced materials carefully before making a decision whether to participate in the Plan and note that values generally are reported in US dollars unless otherwise specified. In addition, Grantee should consult Grantee’s tax advisor for specific information concerning Grantee’s personal tax situation with regard to Plan participation.

Vesting. This provision supplements Section 2 of the Award Agreement:
As a condition of the grant of the Award, termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason (including for the reasons listed below but excluding for the reasons specified in Section 3(c) of the Award Agreement) will automatically result in the forfeiture and loss of the Award and the underlying Shares to the extent that the Award has not yet vested as of the date of termination of the Grantee’s Service. In particular, and without limitation to the provisions of the Award Agreement and the Plan, the Grantee understands and agrees that the Award will be cancelled without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount as indemnification if the Grantee terminates employment by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, 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 (unless such layoff falls within the meaning of a plant closing or reduction in workforce as described in Section 3(c)), 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 (unless such layoff falls within the meaning of a medical reassignment as described in Section 3(c)). The Grantee acknowledges that Grantee has read and specifically accepts the vesting conditions referred to in Section 2 of the Award Agreement.
Grantee’s Acknowledgement. This provision supplements Section 10 of the Award Agreement:
The Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Performance-Based Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be Employees of the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world. 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 Company or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement. Consequently, the Grantee understands that the Performance-Based Awards are granted on the assumption and condition that the Performance-Based Awards and any Shares acquired pursuant to the Performance-Based Awards shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Grantee understands that this grant would not be made to the Grantee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of Performance-Based Awards may be cancelled.
