PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AND STOCK PLAN THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made by and between FMC Corporation (the “Company”) and [_________________________]1 (the “Participant”). WHEREAS, the Company maintains the FMC Corporation Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan (the “Plan”); and WHEREAS, the Plan authorizes the grant of Restricted Stock Units; and WHEREAS, to compensate the Participant for his or her past and anticipated future contributions to the Company and to further align the Participant’s personal financial interests with those of the Company’s stockholders, the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved this grant of Restricted Stock Units to the Participant on the terms described below, effective _________________, [Year1]2 (the “Grant Date”). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. (a) Pursuant to the Plan and as of the Grant Date, the Company hereby awards to the Participant a target number of [__________] Restricted Stock Units (the “Units”). The terms of the Plan are incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the same meanings as in the Plan. To the extent there is a conflict between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan will prevail. (b) Each Unit, once vested, represents an unfunded, unsecured right of the Participant to receive one share of Common Stock (each a “Share”) at a specified time. The Units will be earned, and Shares will be issued in respect of earned Units, as set forth in this Agreement. 2. Determination of Units Earned. Subject to the Participant’s continued employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates through December 31, [Year 3] (the “Specified Date”), between 0%-200% of the Units shall become earned in accordance with the table set forth below based on the Company’s operating cash flow (as defined in Exhibit A hereto, the “Operating Cash Flow”) during the three year period beginning on January 1, [Year 1] and ending on December 31, [Year 3] (the “Measurement Period”): 1 Insert name of participant. 2 Insert date of committee action to approve the grant.

 

Level Operating Cash Flow Percentage of Units Earned Below Threshold [__________] 0% Threshold [__________] 25% Target [__________] 100% Maximum [__________] 200% If the Company’s Operating Cash Flow is between the levels set forth above, then the percentage of the Units earned will be ratably interpolated. Any Units that are not earned as of the end of the Measurement Period will be forfeited immediately and automatically and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto. (b) If the Participant’s employment terminates by reason of (i) Disability, (ii) death, (iii) Non-Approved Retirement, or (iv) by the Company without Cause other than within two years following a Change in Control, then the extent to which the Units are earned shall be determined as if the Participant had continued in active service to the Company through the Specified Date, but shall be prorated based on the number of days the Participant was employed by the Company during the Measurement Period. (c) In the event the Participant’s employment terminates by reason of Approved Retirement, then the extent to which the Units are earned shall be determined as if the Participant had continued in active service to the Company through the Specified Date. (d) In the event the Participant’s employment terminates within two years following a Change in Control due to either (i) a termination by the Company without Cause or (ii) a resignation by the Participant with Good Reason, then the Units shall be deemed earned at the target (i.e., 100%) level and Shares will be distributed in respect thereof in accordance with Section 4(a) below. For avoidance of doubt, this section will not apply if the Participant has satisfied the conditions for Approved Retirement or Non-Approved Retirement as of the date of his or her termination (in that case, Section 2(b)(iii) or 2(c) will apply, as applicable). (e) The application of Sections 2(b)(iii), 2(b)(iv), 2(c), and 2(d) is in each case conditioned on (i) the Participant’s execution and delivery to the Company of a general release of claims against the Company and its affiliates in a form prescribed by the Company, and (ii) such release becoming irrevocable within 60 days following the cessation of the Participant’s employment or such shorter period specified by the Company. For avoidance of doubt, if this release requirement is not timely satisfied, all the Units will be forfeited as of the effective date of the cessation of the Participant’s employment and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto. (f) Upon a cessation of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, all Units that do not specifically remain outstanding pursuant to Section 2(b), 2(c) or 2(d) will then be forfeited immediately and automatically and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto. -2-

(a) “Approved Retirement” means the cessation of the Participant’s employment after June 30, [Year 1] and after the Participant has (A) both attained age 62 and completed 10 years of service with the Company or its Affiliates or (B) attained age 65, provided that the Participant has commenced succession planning with the Company’s chief human resources executive (in accordance with procedures established by the Company) at least six months before the effective date of the Participant’s cessation of employment. (b) “Good Reason” will have the meaning defined in the Participant’s Individual Agreement, if any. If no Individual Agreement exists, “Good Reason” will mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following: (i) the assignment to the Participant of duties materially inconsistent with his or her authorities, duties, responsibilities or position, or a material adverse change in the Participant’s authorities, duties, responsibilities, position or reporting requirements; (ii) the Company’s relocation of the Participant’s principal worksite by more than (50) miles, excepting travel substantially consistent with the Participant’s business obligations; or (iii) a material reduction in the Participant’s base salary; provided that any such event will constitute Good Reason only if the Participant notifies the Company in writing of such event within 90 days following the initial occurrence thereof, the Company fails to cure such event within 30 days after receipt from the Participant of written notice thereof, and the Participant resigns his or her employment within 180 days following the initial occurrence of such event.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi), the issuance of Shares in respect of a number of earned Units may be accelerated to the date that employment taxes become payable with respect to this Award. Such number of Units will be equal to the reasonably estimated amount of employment taxes then required to be withheld and remitted, divided by the then current Fair Market Value; (ii) to the extent the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii) are met, the issuance of Shares hereunder will be delayed to the extent the Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable laws; and (iii) the Company may terminate this arrangement at any time prior to the end of the Measurement Period in a manner consistent with the requirements of Treas.

No Limitation on Rights of the Company. The granting of Units will not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, reincorporate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 9. Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan will confer on the Participant any right to continue in service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant) to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause. 10.
