NOW, THEREFORE, for such good and valuable consideration, the Participant hereby covenants and agrees to the following terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, the provisions set forth in Sections 6(b) and 6(c), all of which the Participant acknowledges and agrees are reasonably designed to protect the legitimate business interests of the Constituent Companies and which will not unreasonably affect the

The Company hereby grants as of [_____date_____] the number of RSUs as set forth in the Essential Grant Terms (as defined below) to the Participant on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. This grant is made pursuant to the terms of the Accenture plc 2010 (the “Plan”), which Plan, as amended from time to time, is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement (as defined below). Each RSU represents the unfunded, unsecured right of the Participant to receive and retain a Share on the date(s) specified herein, subject to the conditions specified herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

This grant of RSUs is subject to the Key Executive Performance Share Program Essential Grant Terms (the “Essential Grant Terms”) displayed electronically on the “Grant Agreement & Essential Grant Terms” page of the myHoldings website (xxxxx://xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx) and the Restricted Share Unit Agreement, which together constitute the Key Executive Performance Share Program Restricted Share Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”).

For purposes of calculating a company’s Total Shareholder tReturn, the Fair Market Value of the stock of any company on [_____end date_____] shall be adjusted to reflect any and all cash, stock or in-kind dividends paid on the stock of such company during the Performance Period as follows: the Fair Market Value of the stock of the company on [_____end date_____] shall be multiplied by the sum of (Y) one (1) plus (Z) the number of whole and fractional shares of the stock of the company that (i) were actually received in respect of one share (or such greater number of shares that are deemed to have been held at such time pursuant to this clause (c)(ii)) by way of a stock dividend and (ii) would otherwise result assuming each cash dividend paid on the stock (or fair market value of any in-kind dividend, as determined by the Committee) of the company during the Performance Period was used to purchase additional whole and/or fractional shares of stock of the

company on the record date of such dividend based on the fair market value of the stock of the company (as determined by the Committee), or with respect to the Company, the Fair Market Value of a Share, on the record date of such dividend.

(iii) If at any time prior to the completion of the Performance Period, a Comparison Company ceases to be a publicly-traded company, merges or consolidates with another company, is acquired or disposes of a significant portion of its businesses as they exist on the date of this Agreement or experiences any other extraordinary event as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may remove such Comparison Company or ratably adjust the calculation of the Total Shareholder Return with respect to such Comparison Company.

“Actual Cumulative Operating Income” shall mean the aggregate of the Company’s actual operating income for the Company’s [_____number_____] fiscal years during the Performance Period, as determined from the Company’s final, audited financial statements for such fiscal years.

In the event that, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and due to a required change in generally accepted accounting practices, a change in the accounting methods of the Company or an extraordinary and material event in the Company’s business (each of the foregoing events being referred to herein as a “Material Event”), Actual Cumulative Operating Income determined after the occurrence of a Material Event would be materially different as a result of the occurrence thereof, the Committee may instruct the Company to determine Actual Cumulative Operating Income for such period, solely for purposes of this Agreement, as if the Material Event had not happened or was not effective. Such instruction may be limited to apply to fiscal periods in which the applicable Operating Income Plan did not account for the occurrence of the Material Event.

14. Choice of Law and Dispute Resolution

(a) THE INTERPRETATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

(b) Subject to paragraphs (c) through (f), any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance and/or termination of this Agreement and any amendment thereto (including without limitation the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) (each a “Dispute”) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York, in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), except that the parties may select an arbitrator who is a national of the same country as one of the parties. If the parties to the dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the ICC shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. In the event of any arbitration between the parties, the Company shall consent to a request by the Participant to hold arbitral proceedings, including any evidentiary hearings, in the country in which the Participant principally conducts his/her business for the convenience of the parties and witnesses, it being understood, however, that the legal situs of the arbitration shall remain in New York. Each side will bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees.

(ii) The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any

suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in paragraph (e) (i) pursuant to paragraph (c) and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.

(f) The parties agree that if a suit, action or proceeding is brought under paragraph (c) proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and they irrevocably appoint the General Counsel of the Company, c/o Accenture, 000 X. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx XX, 00000 (or, if different, the then-current principal business address of the duly appointed General Counsel of the Company) as such party’s agent for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agree that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such party of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the party in any such action or proceeding.

15. Severability. This Agreement shall be enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by law. In the event that a court or appointed arbitrator holds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, then, if allowed by law, the provision shall be reduced, modified or otherwise conformed to the relevant law, judgment or determination to the degree necessary to render it valid and enforceable without affecting the rest of this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed severable from the remainder of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement shall be construed to preserve to the maximum permissible extent the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

16. RSUs Subject to Plan. By entering into this Agreement, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant has received and read a copy of the Plan. All RSUs are subject to the Plan. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.

17. Rule 16b-3. The grant of the RSUs to the Participant hereunder is intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the “Exchange Act”) pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

18. Signature in Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Participant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, including the Plan, and all prior RSU or other equity grant agreements between the Company and its assignor Accenture Ltd, on the one hand, and Participant, on the other, are separate from, and shall not be modified or superseded in any way by any other agreements, including employment agreements, entered into between Participant and the Company’s Affiliates.

20. Severability of Agreement. In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

21. Administration; Consent. In order to manage compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Shares delivered pursuant to the Agreement may, at the sole discretion of the Company, be registered in the name of the nominee for the holder of the Shares and/or held in the custody of a custodian until otherwise determined by the Company. To that end, by acceptance of this Agreement, the holder hereby appoints the Company, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, his or her true and lawful attorney-in-fact to assign, endorse and register for transfer into such nominee’s name or deliver to such custodian any such Shares, granting to such attorneys, and each of them, full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing whatsoever that such attorney or attorneys may deem necessary, advisable or appropriate to carry out fully the intent of this Section as such person might or could do personally. It is understood and agreed by each holder of the Shares delivered under the Agreement that this appointment, empowerment and authorization may be exercised by the aforementioned persons with respect to all Shares delivered pursuant to the Agreement of such holder, and held of record by another person or entity, for the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of the date the Agreement is terminated and the date that is ten years following the last date Shares are delivered pursuant to this Agreement. The form of the custody agreement and the identity of the custodian and/or nominee shall be as determined from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion. A holder of Shares delivered pursuant to the Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to register the transfer of and enter stop transfer orders against the transfer of such Shares except for transfers deemed by it in its sole discretion to be in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Each holder of Shares delivered pursuant to the Agreement agrees to execute such additional documents and take such other actions as may be deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by the Company to effect the provisions of the Agreement, as in effect from time to time. Each holder of Shares delivered pursuant to the Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Company may impose a legend on any document relating to or Shares issued or issuable pursuant to this Agreement conspicuously referencing the restrictions applicable to such Shares.

22. Section 409A - Disability, Deferral Elections, Payments to Specified Employees, and Interpretation of Grant Terms. If the Participant is subject to income taxation on the income resulting from this Agreement under the laws of the United States, and the foregoing provisions of this Agreement would result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant, as determined by the Company, under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the following provisions shall apply and supersede the foregoing provisions:

(a) “Disability” shall mean a disability within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code.

(b) Deferral elections made by U.S. taxpayers are subject to Section 409A of the Code. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to not permit RSUs to be deferred, accelerated, released, extended, paid out or modified in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Company that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments or delivery of the Shares underlying the RSU award granted pursuant to this Agreement may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the RSU award or the Participant’s deferral election, as the case may be, without causing the Participant to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, the Company will make such payment or share delivery as soon as practicable on or following the first day that would not result in the Participant’s incurring any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code, and in any event, no later than the last day of the calendar year in which such first date occurs.

(c) If the Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code), payments and deliveries of shares in respect of any RSUs subject to Section 409A of the Code that are linked to the date of the Participant’s separation from service shall not be made prior to the date which is six (6) months after the date of the Participant’s separation from service from the Company or

any of its Affiliates, determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid subjecting the Participant to any additional taxation under Section 409A of the Code as described herein; provided that neither the Company nor any of its employees, agents, directors or representatives shall have any liability to the Participant with respect to Section 409A of the Code.

23. Recoupment. The RSUs granted under this Agreement, and any Shares issued or other payments made in respect thereof, shall be subject to any recoupment policy that the Company may adopt from time to time, to the extent any such policy is applicable to the Participant.

24. Data Protection. The Participant consents to the processing (including international transfer) of personal data as set out in Appendix A for the purposes specified therein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement effective as of the date set forth above.

(c)

In particular, the Participant expressly consents to the transfer of personal data about the Participant as described in paragraph (a) above by the Company and its Affiliates.

The Participant has the right to be informed whether the Company or its Affiliates hold personal data about the Participant and, to the extent they do so, to have access to those personal data at no charge and require them to be corrected if they are inaccurate or to be destroyed if the Participant wishes to withdraw his or her consent. The Participant is entitled to all the other rights provided for by applicable data protection law, including those detailed in any applicable documentation or guidelines provided to the Participant by the Company or its Affiliates in the past. More detailed information is available to the Participant by contacting the appropriate local data protection officer in the country in which the Participant is based from time to time. If the Participant has a complaint regarding the manner in which personal information relating to the Participant is dealt with, the Participant should contact the appropriate local data protection officer referred to above.


(d)	The processing (including transfer) of data described above is essential for the administration and operation of the Plan. Therefore, in cases where the Participant wishes to participate in the Plan, it is essential that his/her personal data are processed in the manner described above. At any time the Participant may withdraw his or her consent.

EXHIBIT 1-A

Determination of RSU Vesting pursuant to Section 1(c) of the Agreement


1.	Determine Percentile Rank (PR) for each of the Comparison Companies in accordance with the following formula:

PR = (PB/N)(100)

Where:

PB = ordinal position from the lowest TSR among the Comparison Companies. The Comparison Company with the lowest TSR is the first position from the bottom.

N = number of Comparison Companies in the computation.

After determining and ordering the PR for each Comparison Company, if the TSR of the Company is equal to the TSR of any other Comparison Company (rounded to the nearest 0.01), then the Company’s PR shall equal the PR of such Comparison Company. If the Company’s TSR is not equal to the TSR of any other Comparison Company, then the Company’s PR shall be determined by interpolation, using the TSRs and PRs of the Comparison Companies having the next highest and next lowest TSRs in comparison to the Company’s TSR. If there is no Comparison Company with a TSR that is higher than the Company’s TSR, then the Company’s PR shall be 100. If there is no Comparison Company with a TSR that is lower than the Company’s TSR, then the Company’s PR shall be equal to the PR of the lowest ranked Comparison Company.


3.	Upon determining the PR of the Company, the percentage of maximum RSUs granted under the Agreement that vest shall be determined as follows:



Performance level	Company PR (measured as a percentile)	Percentage of maximum RSUs granted under the Agreement that vest
Maximum	The Company is ranked at or above the 75th percentile.	25%
Target	The Company is ranked at the 60th percentile.	16.67%
Threshold	The Company is ranked at the 40th percentile.	8.33%
	The Company is ranked below the 40th percentile.	0%

Performance Between Threshold and Target. If the Company’s Percentile Rank is between “Threshold” and “Target,” the percentage of the maximum RSUs granted to the Participant under the Agreement that shall vest pursuant to Section 1(c) of the Agreement shall equal (a) 8.33% of the RSUs granted under the Agreement plus (b) an additional percentage of the maximum RSUs granted to the Participant under the Agreement, which percentage shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

(PR - 40) x 8.34

where, PR equals the Percentile Rank of the Company, as determined above.

Performance Between Target and Maximum. If the Company’s Percentile Rank is between “Target” and “Maximum,” the percentage of the RSUs granted to the Participant under the Agreement that shall vest pursuant to Section 1(c) of the Agreement shall equal (a) 16.67% of the RSUs granted under the Agreement plus (b) an additional percentage, not to exceed 8.33%, of the maximum RSUs granted to the Participant under the Agreement, which percentage shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

(PR - 60) x 8.33

where, PR equals the Percentile Rank of the Company, as determined above.

EXHIBIT 1-B

Determination of RSU Vesting pursuant to Section 1(d) of the Agreement


1.	Determine the Company actual percentage of Target Cumulative Operating Income (“AP”) by dividing the Company’s Actual Cumulative Operating Income by the Target Cumulative Operating Income and expressing the result as a percentage (the resulting percentage being referred to as the “Performance Rate” or “PR”).


2.	Upon determining the Company’s Performance Rate, the percentage of maximum RSUs granted under the Agreement that vest shall be determined as follows:



Performance level	Company’s Performance Rate	Percentage of RSUs granted under the Agreement that vest

Maximum	125% or greater	75%
Target	100%	50%
Threshold	80%	25%
	Less than 80%	0%

Performance Between Threshold and Target. If the Company’s Performance Rate is between “Threshold” and “Target,” the percentage of the maximum RSUs granted to the Participant under the Agreement that shall vest pursuant to Section 1(d) of the Agreement shall equal (a) 25% of the maximum RSUs granted under the Agreement, plus (b) an additional percentage of the maximum RSUs granted to the Participant under the Agreement, which percentage shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:



(	PR - 80	)	x 1.25

where, PR equals the Company’s Performance Rate, as determined above.

Performance Between Target and Maximum. If the Company’s Performance Rate is between “Target” and “Maximum,” the percentage of the maximum RSUs granted to the Participant under the Agreement that shall vest pursuant to Section 1(d) of the Agreement shall equal (a) 50% of the maximum RSUs granted under the Agreement, plus (b) an additional percentage, not to exceed 25%, of the maximum RSUs granted to the Participant under the Agreement, which percentage shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:



(	PR - 100	)

where, PR equals the Company’s Performance Rate, as determined above.
