1.
Award of Restricted Stock Units. The Participant is hereby granted an award of
INSERT# notional RSUs (the “Award”). Each RSU represents a bookkeeping entry
which is intended to be equal in value to a single Share.

2.
Vesting of Award.

a.
Vesting. Except as otherwise provided herein:

(i)
This Award shall vest in full and become non-forfeitable on the first
anniversary of the Grant Date if, and only if, the Participant has continuously
served on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at all times from
the Grant Date through the first anniversary of the Grant Date.

(ii)
If the Participant’s service on the Board terminates for any reason other than
because of removal by the Board for cause or by the shareholders prior to the
first anniversary of the Grant Date, this Award shall immediately vest and
become non-forfeitable as to a pro rata number of Shares based on the number of
calendar days elapsed from the Grant Date through the date on which the
Participant’s Board service terminated.

(iii)
The termination of the Participant’s service on the Board because of removal by
the Board for cause or by the shareholders prior to the first anniversary of the
Grant Date shall result in a full and immediate forfeiture of the Award.

b.
Change in Control. Change in Control. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Section 2 to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control occurring prior
to the vesting date, except to the extent that a Replacement Award meeting the
requirements set forth below is provided to the Participant to replace this
Award, this Award shall become immediately vested.

(i)
Except as otherwise provided herein, a “Replacement Award” means an award: (a)
having a value at least equal to the value of this Award as determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion; (b) relating to publicly traded equity
securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another
entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change
in Control; (c) which shall also become fully vested upon the Participant’s
termination of service as a Director occurring in connection with, or during the
period immediately after, such Change in Control but before the vesting date;
and (d) with such other terms and conditions that are not less favorable to the
Participant than the terms and conditions of this Award.

(ii)
If, immediately following the occurrence of a Change in Control, Linde plc
ordinary shares continue to be publicly traded, a Replacement Award may, in the
sole discretion of the Committee, take the form of a continuation of this Award,
subject to such adjustments as the Committee shall determine to be necessary to
ensure that such Replacement Award remains no less favorable to the Participant
than this Award.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii)
The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 2.b. are satisfied
shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. All references to the
Committee in this Section 2.b. shall mean the Committee as constituted
immediately before the Change in Control.

3.
Payment of Vested Award; Treatment upon Change in Control.

a.
This Award shall be settled as soon as practicable following its vesting date
(the “Settlement Date”). Settlement of the Award shall occur by payment to the
Participant of a number of Shares equal to (i) the full number of RSUs granted
under this Award if the Award has vested in full on the first anniversary of the
Grant Date (plus any vested accrued Dividend Equivalents pursuant to Section
4.b.); or (ii) a pro rata number of RSUs granted under this Award if the Award
has partially vested prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date (plus any
vested accrued Dividend Equivalents pursuant to Section 4.b.). Settlement of the
Award in connection with a Change in Control may be such other form of payment
having an equivalent value as may be authorized by the Committee in its sole
discretion.

4.
Other Terms and Conditions. It is understood and agreed that the Award of RSUs
evidenced hereby is subject to the following terms and conditions:

a.
Rights of Participant. Except as provided in Section 4.e., the Participant shall
have no right to transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber the Award.
Prior to the payment of Shares in satisfaction of this Award, the Participant
shall have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to
the Award, including, but not limited to, voting rights and the right to receive
dividends, subject to the accrual of dividend equivalents provided in Subsection
(b) below.

b.
Dividend Equivalents. As of the date any dividend is paid to holders of Shares,
regardless of whether the Director is then a Director, the Award will be
credited with additional RSUs equal to the number of Shares that could have been
purchased with the amount which would have been paid as dividends on that number
of Shares (including fractions of a share to three decimals) equal to the number
of RSUs then subject to this Award as of the record date applicable to such
dividend.  The number of additional RSUs to be credited will be calculated to
three decimals by dividing the amount which would have been paid as dividends by
the closing price of a Share as reported on the New York Stock Exchange as of
the date the dividend would have been paid.  In the case of dividends paid in
property other than cash, the amount of the dividend shall be deemed to be the
fair market value of the property at the time of the payment of the dividend, as
determined in good faith by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall be settled
in Shares on the Settlement Date, and any fractional amount shall be rounded
down to the nearest whole share.

c.
No Right to Continued Service as a Director. This Award shall not confer upon
the Participant any right with respect to continuance of service as a director
of the Company, nor shall this Award interfere with the right of the Company’s
Board of Directors or the shareholders to remove the Participant as a director,
with or without cause.

d.
No Right to Future Awards. The Participant’s selection to receive this Award
shall in no way entitle him/her to receive, or otherwise obligate the Company or
its Board of Directors to provide the Participant, any future RSUs or other
awards under the Plan or otherwise.

e.
Transferability. This Award is not transferable other than:

(i)
in the event of the Participant’s death, in which case this Award shall be
transferred to the Participant’s executor, administrator, or legal
representative, or

(ii)
pursuant to a domestic relations order.

Any transfer of this Award, in whole or in part, is subject to acceptance by the
Company in its sole discretion and shall be affected according to such
procedures as the Governance Committee (or other designated committee) of the
Board of Directors of the Company may establish. The provisions of this Award,
relating to the Participant, shall apply to this Award notwithstanding any
transfer to a third party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

f.
Cancellation of Award. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold, or
otherwise limit or restrict this Award, and/or recover any gains realized by the
Participant in connection with this Award, in the event any actions by the
Participant are determined by the Committee to (i) constitute a conflict of
interest with Linde, (ii) be prejudicial to Linde’s interests, or (iii) violate
any non-compete agreement or obligation of the Participant to Linde, any
confidentiality agreement or obligation of the Participant to Linde, or Linde’s
applicable policies.

5.
Tax Withholding. Upon the Settlement Date, the Company may deduct from the
number of Shares (or other form of payment if applicable) otherwise due the
Participant, Shares (or other form of payment if applicable)having a Fair Market
Value (or fair market value in the event of payment other than in Shares)
sufficient to discharge all applicable federal, state, city, local or foreign
taxes of any kind, if any, required to be withheld with respect to such payment;
provided that, if Shares are so withheld, they shall be withheld only up to the
minimum required tax withholding rates or such other rate that will not trigger
a negative accounting impact on the Company. In the alternative, the Company
shall have the right to require the Participant to pay cash to satisfy any
applicable withholding taxes as a condition to the payment of the Award.

6.
References. References herein to rights and obligations of the Participant shall
apply, where appropriate, to the Participant’s legal representative or estate
without regard to whether specific reference to such legal representative or
estate is contained in a particular provision of this Award.

7.
Governing Law. This Award shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of Connecticut, without giving effect to principles of conflict of
laws.

8.
No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or
herein, neither the Plan nor this Award will confer on any person other than
Linde and the Participant any rights or remedies under the Plan or hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed by its
proper officer hereunto duly authorized, as of the day and year first
hereinabove written.
