NATURE OF GRANT
---------------
By completing this form and accepting the grant of the stock option evidenced
hereby, I acknowledge that: i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The
Procter & Xxxxxx Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be amended,
suspended or terminated at any time; ii) the grant of options under the Plan is
voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to
receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if
options have been granted repeatedly in the past; iii) all decisions with
respect to future grants of options, if any, will be at the sole discretion of
P&G; iv) my participation in the Plan is voluntary; v) the option is an
extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for
any purposes including, but not limited to, calculating any termination,
severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; vi) in
the event that my employer is not P&G, the grant of options will not be
interpreted to form an employment relationship with P&G; and furthermore, the
grant of options will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with my
Employer; vii) the future value of the shares purchased under the Plan is
unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty, may increase or decrease in
value, even below the exercise price and, if the underlying shares do not
increase in value, the option will have no value; iix) my participation in the
Plan shall not create a right to further employment with my Employer and shall
not interfere with the ability of my Employer to terminate my employment
relationship at any time, with or without cause; ix) and no claim or entitlement
to compensation or damages arises from the termination of the option or the
diminution in value of the option or shares purchased and I irrevocably release
P&G and my Employer from any such claim that may arise.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES
------------------------
Regardless of any action P&G or my Employer takes with respect to any or all
income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other
tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), I acknowledge that the ultimate
liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains my responsibility and that
P&G and/or my Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the option
grant, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the option, the subsequent
sale of shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any
dividends or the potential impact of current or future tax legislation in any
jurisdiction; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any
aspect of the option to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax-Related Items.
Prior to exercise of the option, I shall pay or make adequate arrangements
satisfactory to P&G and/or my Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on
account obligations of P&G and/or my Employer. In this regard, I authorize P&G
and/or my Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items from my wages or
other cash compensation paid to me by P&G and/or my Employer or from proceeds of
the sale of the shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under
local law, P&G may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares that I acquire to
meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in
shares, provided that P&G only withholds the amount of shares necessary to
satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, I shall pay to P&G or my
Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that P&G or my Employer may be required
to withhold as a result of my participation in the Plan or my purchase of shares
that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. P&G may refuse to
honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the shares if I fail to comply with my
obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this
section.

Restricted Shares you will be required to repay the Company an amount equal to
such dividends.
THIS DOCUMENT CONSTITUTES PART OF A PROSPECTUS COVERING SECURITIES THAT HAVE
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

direct the Transfer Agent and Registrar of the Company's Common Stock to make

Effective upon the date of award of these Restricted Shares you shall for
all purposes be a holder of record of these Restricted Shares and shall

of The Procter & Xxxxxx Company and the right to receive all dividends paid with

legend to the effect that they were issued or transferred subject to, and may be
sold or otherwise disposed of only in accordance with, the terms of this
Statement.
3. ADJUSTMENTS IN CASE OF STOCK DIVIDENDS, STOCK SPLITS, ETC. --
In the event that, as the result of a stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other event, you
shall, as the owner of Restricted Shares, be entitled to new, additional or
different shares or securities: (a) such new, additional or different shares or
securities shall for all purposes be deemed "Restricted Shares," (b) all of the
terms of this Statement shall be applicable thereto as modified by this
paragraph 3, (c) the purchase price of ten cents ($.10) per share and all of the
computations provided for in this Statement shall, if and to the extent
required, be appropriately adjusted, and (d) any certificates or other

fractional shares and any pre-emptive or other rights or warrants to purchase

request to accelerate the lapse of conditions and restrictions prior to October
1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year of your approved retirement.
(b) The Committee may accelerate the lapse of conditions and restrictions
on all or any part of the Restricted Shares in the case of hardship which in the
sole judgment of the Committee justifies such action.
(c) When the conditions and restrictions lapse with respect to Restricted
Shares pursuant to this paragraph 4, the Company will deliver to you, or your
legal representative in case of death, promptly after surrender of any
certificate(s) for such Restricted Shares to the Treasurer of The Procter &

STATEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

The Restricted Stock Units awarded to you as set forth in the letter
you received from the Company (your "Award Letter"), and your ownership thereof,

Company, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the
provisions of the Plan, to issue to you one share of Common Stock on
the later of the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement
Date.
(i) "SETTLEMENT PERIOD" means the period from the Grant Date until the
later of the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date.
2. TRANSFER AND RESTRICTIONS.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be
sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise
disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock
Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the
immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the
Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to Dividend Equivalents).
(b) At any time at least one calendar year prior to the Original
Settlement Date, you and the Company may agree to postpone the date on
which you are entitled to receive one share of Common Stock for each
Restricted Stock Unit you hold, according to the deferral terms in
place at the time, and provided the new date (the "Agreed Settlement
Date") is at least five years from the Original Settlement Date. During
the Settlement Period, if you leave your employment with Procter &
Xxxxxx for any reason other than: (i) Disability; (ii) Special
Separation; or (iii) retirement in accordance with the provisions of
any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Xxxxxx, your Original
Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, as applicable, will
automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you
or the Company, the date of your termination of employment. In the
event of your Disability or Special Separation during the Settlement
Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, your
Original Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, as applicable, will
automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you
or the Company, the date of your Disability or Special Separation, as
applicable. In the event of your retirement in accordance with the
provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Xxxxxx
during the Settlement Period, you will retain your Restricted Stock
Units subject to the Plan and these Terms and Conditions.
(c) Upon your death or the occurrence of a Change in Control at any
time while you hold Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalents,
your Original Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, as applicable,
will automatically and immediately become, without any further action
by you or the Company, the date of your death or of the Change in
Control, as applicable.
(d) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish
procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of
Restricted Stock Units, to agree to an Agreed Settlement Date, or to
settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by
means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee
for doing so.
(e) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to
you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted
Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will
cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted
Stock Units.
3. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Xxxxxx and to
prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble's trade secrets and
confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success
of Procter & Gamble's business, in consideration of your being awarded
Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter &
Xxxxxx), will not engage in any activity or provide any services,
whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor,
consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the
date your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx is terminated in connection
with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of
any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any
products of Procter & Xxxxxx (including both existing products as well
as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with
Procter & Xxxxxx, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly
concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the
termination of your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx; or (ii)
with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the
termination of your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx, you, as
a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired
knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information
of Procter & Xxxxxx.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed
that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to
through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing
such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such
information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in
addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by
accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose
Procter & Gamble's trade secrets or confidential information known to
you until any particular trade secret or confidential information
becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this
Section 3(b), "generally known" means known throughout the domestic
United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially
or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic
United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries'
industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test
marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic
region, which information Procter & Xxxxxx is considering for broader
use, will not be deemed to be "generally known" until such broader use
is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, "trade
secrets or other confidential information" also includes personnel
knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Xxxxxx or its
subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter &
Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings,
manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or
abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature
of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a
result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a
confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting
any manager, or managers, of Procter & Xxxxxx or any subsidiary to
terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Xxxxxx or that
subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if
you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble's
trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Xxxxxxx
& Xxxxxx would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief
to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to
Procter & Xxxxxx by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section
3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is
not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would
ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by
a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Xxxxxxx &
Xxxxxx, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having
jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter &
Xxxxxx may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any
grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are
for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may
develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units,
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as
to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an
award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Xxxxxx 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. If any one or more of the provisions contained in
Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder
of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be
affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the Settlement period,
each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to
Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units ("Dividend
Equivalents"). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be
determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently
held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on
the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on
the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted
Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original
Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and
settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend
Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will
receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent
Restricted Stock Units.
5. VOTING AND OTHER SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you
are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. ADJUSTMENTS IN CASE OF STOCK DIVIDENDS, STOCK SPLITS, ETC.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split,
stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering,
share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change
affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of
Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to
prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. TAX WITHHOLDING.
To the extent Procter & Xxxxxx is required to withhold federal, state,
local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or
Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as
Procter & Xxxxxx may xxxx appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to
be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares
of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any
action taken by Procter & Xxxxxx with respect to any income tax, social
insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or
Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such
tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Xxxxxx
makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units
or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the
Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax
liability.
8. SUSPENSION PERIODS AND TERMINATION.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend
your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock
where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
9. PROCTER & XXXXXX RIGHT TO TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER REMEDIES.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have
been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or
power of Procter & Xxxxxx to terminate your employment at any time for
any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Xxxxxx from
taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect
to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous
sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any
outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the
Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the
best interests of Procter & Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries. For purposes of
this paragraph, an action taken "significantly contrary to the best
interests of Procter & Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries" includes without
limitation any action taken or threatened by you that the Committee
determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse
impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel
retention and management, or business of Procter & Xxxxxx or any
subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter &
Xxxxxx or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without
limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the
Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in
nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii)
the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and
does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards
of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock
Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in
the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock
Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock
Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected
compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation
calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or
end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or
retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your
employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will
not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company;
and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be
interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Xxxxxx
entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be
predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to
compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of
Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock
Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you
irrevocably release Procter & Xxxxxx from any such claim that may
arise.
10. DATA PRIVACY.
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously
consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of
your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable,
any Procter & Xxxxxx entity or third party for the purpose of implementing,
administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that
Procter & Xxxxxx holds certain personal information about you, including without
limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social
insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title,
any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Xxxxxx entity, details
of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of
stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your
favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan
("Data"). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties
assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that
these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the
recipient's country may have different data privacy laws and protections than
your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and
addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human
resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use,
retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of
implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan,
including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party
with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with
the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. You understand that Data will be
held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your
participation in the plan. You understand that you 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 contained
in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local
human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or
withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For
more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of
consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources
representative.

Procter & Xxxxxx during the Post-Forfeiture Period, you will retain
your Restricted Stock Units subject to the Plan and these Terms and
Conditions.
(d) Upon your death or the occurrence of a Change in Control at any
time while you hold Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalents,
your Original Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, as applicable,
will automatically and immediately become, without any further action
by you or the Company, the date of your death or of the Change in
Control, as applicable.
(e) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish
procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of
Restricted Stock Units, to agree to an Agreed Settlement Date, or to
settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by
means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee
for doing so.
(f) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to
you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted
Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will
cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted
Stock Units.
3. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Xxxxxx and to
prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble's trade secrets and
confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success
of Procter & Gamble's business, in consideration of your being awarded
Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter &
Xxxxxx), will not engage in any activity or provide any services,
whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor,
consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the
date your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx is terminated in connection
with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of
any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any
products of Procter & Xxxxxx (including both existing products as well
as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with
Procter & Xxxxxx, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly
concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the
termination of your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx; or (ii)
with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the
termination of your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx, you, as
a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired
knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information
of Procter & Xxxxxx.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed
that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to
through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing
such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such
information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in
addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by
accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose
Procter & Gamble's trade secrets or confidential information known to
you until any particular trade secret or confidential information
becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this
Section 3(b), "generally known" means known throughout the domestic
United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially
or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic
United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries'
industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test
marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic
region, which information Procter & Xxxxxx is considering for broader
use, will not be deemed to be "generally known" until such broader use
is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, "trade
secrets or other confidential information" also includes personnel
knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Xxxxxx or its
subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter &
Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings,
manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or
abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature
of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a
result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a
confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting
any manager, or managers, of Procter & Xxxxxx or any subsidiary to
terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Xxxxxx or that
subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if
you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble's
trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Xxxxxxx
& Xxxxxx would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief
to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to
Procter & Xxxxxx by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section
3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is
not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would
ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by
a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Xxxxxxx &
Xxxxxx, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having
jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter &
Xxxxxx may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any
grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are
for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may
develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units,
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as
to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an
award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Xxxxxx 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. If any one or more of the provisions contained in
Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder
of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be
affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant
Date until the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, whichever
is later, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with
respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units
("Dividend Equivalents"). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units
will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units
currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash
distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the
Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend
Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and
conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them,
including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional
number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be
settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend
Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. VOTING AND OTHER SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you
are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. ADJUSTMENTS IN CASE OF STOCK DIVIDENDS, STOCK SPLITS, ETC.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split,
stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering,
share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change
affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of
Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to
prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. TAX WITHHOLDING.
To the extent Procter & Xxxxxx is required to withhold federal, state,
local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or
Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as
Procter & Xxxxxx may xxxx appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to
be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares
of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any
action taken by Procter & Xxxxxx with respect to any income tax, social
insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or
Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such
tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Xxxxxx
makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units
or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the
Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax
liability.
8. SUSPENSION PERIODS AND TERMINATION.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend
your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock
where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
9. PROCTER & XXXXXX RIGHT TO TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER REMEDIES.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have
been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or
power of Procter & Xxxxxx to terminate your employment at any time for
any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Xxxxxx from
taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect
to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous
sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any
outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the
Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the
best interests of Procter & Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries. For purposes of
this paragraph, an action taken "significantly contrary to the best
interests of Procter & Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries" includes without
limitation any action taken or threatened by you that the Committee
determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse
impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel
retention and management, or business of Procter & Xxxxxx or any
subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter &
Xxxxxx or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without
limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the
Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Xxxxxx Company, is
discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at
any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and
occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to
receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of
Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been
awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to
future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole
discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is
voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not
part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose,
including without limitation calculating any termination, severance,
resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar
payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the
award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an
employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award
of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment
contract with any Procter & Xxxxxx entity; (vii) the future value of
Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and
(viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from
termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in
value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement
thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Xxxxxx from any such
claim that may arise.
10. DATA PRIVACY.
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously
consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of
your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable,
any Procter & Xxxxxx entity or third party for the purpose of implementing,
administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that
Procter & Xxxxxx holds certain personal information about you, including without
limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social
insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title,
any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Xxxxxx entity, details
of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of
stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your
favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan
("Data"). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties
assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that
these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the
recipient's country may have different data privacy laws and protections than
your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and
addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human
resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use,
retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of
implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan,
including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party
with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with
the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. You understand that Data will be
held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your
participation in the plan. You understand that you 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 contained
in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local
human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or
withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For
more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of
consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources
representative.

for doing so.
(f) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to
you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted
Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will
cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted
Stock Units.
3. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Xxxxxx and to
prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble's trade secrets and
confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success
of Procter & Gamble's business, in consideration of your being awarded
Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter &
Xxxxxx), will not engage in any activity or provide any services,
whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor,
consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the
date your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx is terminated in connection
with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of
any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any
products of Procter & Xxxxxx (including both existing products as well
as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with
Procter & Xxxxxx, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly
concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the
termination of your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx; or (ii)
with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the
termination of your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx, you, as
a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired
knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information
of Procter & Xxxxxx.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed
that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to
through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing
such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such
information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in
addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by
accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose
Procter & Gamble's trade secrets or confidential information known to
you until any particular trade secret or confidential information
becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this
Section 3(b), "generally known" means known throughout the domestic
United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially
or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic
United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries'
industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test
marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic
region, which information Procter & Xxxxxx is considering for broader
use, will not be deemed to be "generally known" until such broader use
is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, "trade
secrets or other confidential information" also includes personnel
knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Xxxxxx or its
subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter &
Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings,
manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or
abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature
of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a
result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a
confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting
any manager, or managers, of Procter & Xxxxxx or any subsidiary to
terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Xxxxxx or that
subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if
you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble's
trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Xxxxxxx
& Xxxxxx would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief
to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to
Procter & Xxxxxx by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section
3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is
not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would
ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by
a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Xxxxxxx &
Xxxxxx, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having
jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter &
Xxxxxx may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any
grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are
for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may
develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units,
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as
to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an
award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Xxxxxx 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. If any one or more of the provisions contained in
Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder
of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be
affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant
Date until the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, whichever
is later, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with
respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units
("Dividend Equivalents"). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units
will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units
currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash
distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the
Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend
Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and
conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them,
including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional
number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be
settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend
Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. VOTING AND OTHER SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you
are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. ADJUSTMENTS IN CASE OF STOCK DIVIDENDS, STOCK SPLITS, ETC.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split,
stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering,
share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change
affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of
Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to
prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. TAX WITHHOLDING.
To the extent Procter & Xxxxxx is required to withhold federal, state,
local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or
Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as
Procter & Xxxxxx may xxxx appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to
be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares
of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any
action taken by Procter & Xxxxxx with respect to any income tax, social
insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or
Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such
tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Xxxxxx
makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units
or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the
Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax
liability.
8. SUSPENSION PERIODS AND TERMINATION.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend
your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock
where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
9. PROCTER & XXXXXX RIGHT TO TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER REMEDIES.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have
been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or
power of Procter & Xxxxxx to terminate your employment at any time for
any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Xxxxxx from
taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect
to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous
sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any
outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the
Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the
best interests of Procter & Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries. For purposes of
this paragraph, an action taken "significantly contrary to the best
interests of Procter & Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries" includes without
limitation any action taken or threatened by you that the Committee
determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse
impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel
retention and management, or business of Procter & Xxxxxx or any
subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter &
Xxxxxx or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without
limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the
Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Xxxxxx Company, is
discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at
any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and
occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to
receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of
Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been
awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to

long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar
payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the

2. TRANSFER AND RESTRICTIONS.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be
sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise
disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock
Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the
immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the
Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to receive Dividend
Equivalents).
(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units
(including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents) will be
forfeited and cancelled if you leave your employment with Procter &
Xxxxxx for any reason, except due to: (i) your Disability; or (ii) in
certain circumstances, your Special Separation. In the event of your
Disability during the Forfeiture Period, unless otherwise agreed to in
writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date will
automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you
or the Company, the date of your Disability. In the event of your
Special Separation during the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock
Units will be forfeited and cancelled unless otherwise agreed to in
writing by the Company.
(c) During the Post-Forfeiture Period, if you leave your employment
with Procter & Xxxxxx for any reason other than: (i) Disability; (ii)
Special Separation; or (iii) retirement in accordance with the
provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Xxxxxx, your
Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become,
without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your
termination of employment. In the event of your Disability or Special
Separation during the Post-Forfeiture Period, unless otherwise agreed
to in writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date will
automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you
or the Company, the date of your Disability or Special Separation, as
applicable. In the event of your retirement in accordance with the
provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Xxxxxx
during the Post-Forfeiture Period, you will retain your Restricted
Stock Units subject to the Plan and these Terms and Conditions.
(d) Upon your death or the occurrence of a Change in Control at any
time while you hold Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalents,
your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately
become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of
your death or of the Change in Control, as applicable.
(e) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish
procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of
Restricted Stock Units, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units,
including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or
charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
(f) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to
you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted
Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will
cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted
Stock Units.
3. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Xxxxxx and to
prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble's trade secrets and
confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success
of Procter & Gamble's business, in consideration of your being awarded
Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter &
Xxxxxx), will not engage in any activity or provide any services,
whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor,
consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the
date your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx is terminated in connection
with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of
any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any
products of Procter & Xxxxxx (including both existing products as well
as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with
Procter & Xxxxxx, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly
concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the
termination of your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx; or (ii)
with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the
termination of your employment with Procter & Xxxxxx, you, as
a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired
knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information
of Procter & Xxxxxx.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed
that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to
through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing
such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such
information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in
addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by
accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose
Procter & Gamble's trade secrets or confidential information known to
you until any particular trade secret or confidential information
becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this
Section 3(b), "generally known" means known throughout the domestic
United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially
or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic
United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries'
industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test
marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic
region, which information Procter & Xxxxxx is considering for broader
use, will not be deemed to be "generally known" until such broader use
is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, "trade
secrets or other confidential information" also includes personnel
knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Xxxxxx or its
subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter &
Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings,
manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or
abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature
of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a
result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a
confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting
any manager, or managers, of Procter & Xxxxxx or any subsidiary to
terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Xxxxxx or that
subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if
you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble's
trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Xxxxxxx
& Xxxxxx would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief
to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to
Procter & Xxxxxx by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section
3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is
not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would
ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by
a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Xxxxxxx &
Xxxxxx, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having
jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter &
Xxxxxx may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any
grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are
for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may
develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units,
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as
to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an
award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Xxxxxx 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. If any one or more of the provisions contained in
Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder
of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be
affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant
Date until the Original Settlement Date, each time a cash dividend or other cash
distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional
Restricted Stock Units ("Dividend Equivalents"). The number of such additional
Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of
Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash
dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the
result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or
distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject
to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that
gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if
there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on
the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for
the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. VOTING AND OTHER SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you
are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. ADJUSTMENTS IN CASE OF STOCK DIVIDENDS, STOCK SPLITS, ETC.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split,
stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering,
share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change
affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of
Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to
prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. TAX WITHHOLDING.
To the extent Procter & Xxxxxx is required to withhold federal, state,
local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or
Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as
Procter & Xxxxxx may xxxx appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to
be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares
of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any
action taken by Procter & Xxxxxx with respect to any income tax, social
insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or
Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such
tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Xxxxxx
makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units
or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the
Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax
liability.
8. SUSPENSION PERIODS AND TERMINATION.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend
your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock
where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
9. PROCTER & XXXXXX RIGHT TO TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER REMEDIES.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have
been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or
power of Procter & Xxxxxx to terminate your employment at any time for
any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Xxxxxx from
taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect
to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous
sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any
outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the
Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the
best interests of Procter & Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries. For purposes of
this paragraph, an action taken "significantly contrary to the best
interests of Procter & Xxxxxx or its subsidiaries" includes without
limitation any action taken or threatened by you that the Committee
determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse
impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel
retention and management, or business of Procter & Xxxxxx or any
subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter &
Xxxxxx or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without
limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the
Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Xxxxxx Company, is
discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at
any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and
occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to
receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of
Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been
awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to
future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole
discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is
voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not
part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose,
including without limitation calculating any termination, severance,
resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar
payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the
award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an
employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award
of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment
contract with any Procter & Xxxxxx entity; (vii) the future value of
Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and
(viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from
termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in
value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement
thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Xxxxxx from any such
claim that may arise.
10. DATA PRIVACY.
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously
consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of
your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable,
any Procter & Xxxxxx entity or third party for the purpose of implementing,
administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that
Procter & Xxxxxx holds certain personal information about you, including without
limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social
insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title,
any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Xxxxxx entity, details
of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of
stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your
favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan
("Data"). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties
assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that
these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the
recipient's country may have different data privacy laws and protections than
your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and
addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human
resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use,
retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of
implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan,
including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party
with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with
the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. You understand that Data will be
held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your
participation in the plan. You understand that you 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 contained
in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local
human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or
withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For
more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of
consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources
representative.
