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.

ii. a Qualifying Termination, as defined below; or
iii. the Grantee's Retirement, as defined below.
b.In the event the Grantee's Service is terminated due to the Grantee's death, any unvested portion of the Award will accelerate and vest in full.
c.In the event the Grantee’s Service is terminated due to a Qualifying Termination for a reason other than death, a pro-rata portion of the Award will accelerate and vest 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 next scheduled Vesting Date set forth on page 1 of this document.
d.In the event the Grantee’s Service is terminated due to Retirement prior to a Vesting Date set forth in Section 2(a)(i) above, a pro-rata portion of the Award will continue to vest on the Vesting Date(s) set forth in Section 2(a)(i) above (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 Grantee's Retirement to (y) the total number of months from the Grant Date to the next scheduled Vesting Date set forth on page 1 of this document.

Further, in the event the Grantee’s Service is terminated prior to a Vesting Date for any reason or in any circumstance other than those specified in Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) or 2(d) above, any unvested portion of the Award shall be forfeited.

v. 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.
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.
Section 3.Change in Control
The provisions of Section 13.2 of the Plan apply to this Award with the following modifications:

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 vest automatically in full.

For purposes of this provision, “Covered Termination” shall mean a Qualifying Termination, Grantee’s termination without Cause or the Grantee’s resignation for Good Reason. “Cause” and “Good Reason” shall have the meanings ascribed to

d.If the Grantee is entitled to receive stock of the acquiring entity or successor to the Company as a result of the application of this Section 3, then references to Shares in this Award Agreement shall be read to mean stock of the successor or surviving corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, as and when applicable.
Section 4.Settlement
a.Except as provided below, the Award shall be paid to the Grantee as soon as practicable, and in no event later than sixty days, following the applicable Vesting Date, or, if earlier, a vesting event contemplated under Section 3 above.
b.If the Award is considered an item of non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code (“NQ Deferred Compensation”) and the settlement date or period is determined by reference to the date of the termination of the Grantee’s Service, (i) the Award shall not be paid unless and until the Grantee experiences a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (a “Section 409A Separation”) and (ii) if the Grantee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code as of the date of the Grantee’s Section 409A Separation, the vested portion of the Award shall instead be paid on the earliest of (1) the Vesting Dates set forth in Section 2(a)(i) with respect to the portion of the Award that was scheduled to vest on such Vesting Dates, (2) the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the Grantee’s Section 409A Separation, (3) the date of a Section 409A CIC (as defined below), and (4) the date of the Grantee’s death. If the Award is considered NQ Deferred Compensation and the vesting event is a Transaction that does not constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (a “Section 409A CIC”), the Award shall instead be settled on the earliest of (A) the Vesting Dates set forth in Section 2(a)(i) with respect to the portion of the Award that was scheduled to vest on such Vesting Dates, (B) the date of a Section 409A CIC, and (C) the date of the Grantee’s death.
c.At the time of settlement provided in this Section 4, the Company shall issue or transfer Shares or the cash equivalent, as contemplated under Section 4(d) below, to the Grantee. In the event the Grantee is entitled to a fractional Share, the fraction may be paid in cash or rounded, in the Committee’s discretion.
d.At any time prior to the applicable Vesting Date or until the Award is paid in accordance with this Section 4, the Committee may, if it so elects, determine to pay part or all of the Award in cash in lieu of issuing or transferring Shares. The amount of cash shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the applicable Vesting Date.
e.In the event of the death of the Grantee, the payments described above shall be made to the successor of the Grantee.
Page 5
Section 5.Rights of the Grantee
a.No Shareholder Rights. The Restricted Stock Units do not entitle the Grantee to any rights of a shareholder of the Company until such time as the Restricted Stock Units vest and Shares are issued or transferred to the Grantee.
b.No Trust; Grantee’s Rights Unsecured. Neither this Award Agreement nor any action in accordance with this Award Agreement shall be construed to create a trust of any kind. The right of the Grantee to receive payments of cash or Shares pursuant to this Award Agreement shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company.
Section 6.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. A Grantee may not assign, sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer Shares or cash to which he or she may be entitled hereunder prior to transfer or payment thereof to the Grantee, and any such attempted assignment, sale, pledge or transfer shall be void.
Section 7.Responsibility for Taxes
a.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 Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and the lapse of restrictions, the transfer and issuance of any Shares, the receipt of any cash payment 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.
b.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.
c.If the Restricted Stock Units are paid to the Grantee in cash in lieu of Shares, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at
Page 6
Elanco Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
their discretion, to satisfy any obligation for Tax-Related Items by withholding from the cash amount paid to the Grantee pursuant to the Award or from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer.
d.If the Restricted Stock Units are paid to the Grantee 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 upon settlement of 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.
e.If the Restricted Stock Units are paid to the Grantee 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 7(d)(i) and (ii) above.
f.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 may 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 he or she is entitled pursuant to this Award, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are withheld to satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related Items.
g.The Company may require the 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 7.
Section 8.Section 409A Compliance
To the extent applicable, it is intended that this 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

Elanco Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
Committee in a manner consistent with this intent in order to avoid the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A.
Section 9.Nature of Grant

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, as provided in the Plan;

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

g.unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Award and any Shares subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Grantee may provide as a director of an Affiliate;
h.neither the Award nor any provision of this Award Agreement, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan, confer upon the Grantee any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment, and in the event that the Grantee is not an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, the Award shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Affiliate;
i.the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

k.for purposes of the Award, the Grantee’s employment will be considered terminated as of the date he or she is no longer actively providing services to the Company, an
Page 8

Employer or an Affiliate and the Grantee’s right, if any, to vest in 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);
l.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
m.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 10.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 directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units 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
Page 9
Elanco Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
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 he or she may also have the right to lodge a 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 he or she should contact his or her 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 he or she agrees with the data processing practices described herein and consents to the
Page 10
Elanco Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
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.

b.Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx / Market Abuse Laws.

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 his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Grantee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

Without limitation to the foregoing, the Grantee agrees that the Restricted Stock Unit Award and any 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 any compensation recovery policy of the Company that reflects the provisions of Applicable Laws.
Section 12.Governing Law and Choice of Venue

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 information contained in this offer is general information only. It is not advice or information that takes into account the Grantee’s objectives, financial situation and needs.
The Grantee should consider obtaining his or her 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 stocks, general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, commodity and oil
Page 16

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.
