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, are subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions.
For purposes of this Statement of Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock Units (“Terms and Conditions”), all capitalized terms not defined in these Terms and Conditions will have the meanings described in The Procter & Gamble 2009 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), and the following terms will have the following meanings.
(a) “Data” has the meaning described in Section 6;
(b) “Forfeiture Date” is the date identified as such in your Award Letter;
(c) “Forfeiture Period” means the period from the Grant Date until the Forfeiture Date.
(d) “Grant Date” means the date a Restricted Stock Unit was awarded to you, as identified in your Award Letter;
(e) “Original Settlement Date” is the date identified as such in your Award Letter, as adjusted, if applicable, by Section 2;
(f) “Procter & Gamble” means the Company and/or its Subsidiaries;
(g) “Restricted Stock Unit” means an unfunded, unsecured promise by the 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 Original Settlement Date;
(h) “Separation from Service” shall have the meaning provided under Section 409A.
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.
(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason, except due to: (i) death; (ii) Retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate Retirement plan of Procter & Gamble where you are employed through June 30th following the Grant Date; or (iii) Special Separation where you are employed through June 30th following the Grant Date. In the event of your death during the Forfeiture Period, your Forfeiture Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death. In the event of your Retirement or Special Separation where you are employed through June 30th following the Grant Date, your Forfeiture Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your Retirement or Special Separation.
(c) Upon your death, while you hold Restricted Stock Units, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death, as applicable.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and in the event Article L, Paragraph 4(b) of the Plan applies, then notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary (including Article L, Paragraph 4(b)(iv)), (i) the Forfeiture Date (if any) shall become the date the Change in Control occurred, (ii) if the Change in Control occurrence meets the definitional requirements of a change in control as defined under Section 409A, your Original Settlement Date will become the date the Change in Control occurred, and the award will be settled in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and (iii) if the Change in Control does not meet the Section 409A requirements, your award will be settled on the Original Settlement Date.
(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.
3. 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.
4. 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 and to the extent such action does not result in immediate taxation and penalties under Section 409A.

6. 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 & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your
