  Due to Lack of Work, Divestiture to Entity Less Than 50% Owned by DuPont, or
Total and Permanent Disability   If you are an active employee for six months
following the date of the grant, the SARs will be exercisable through the date
that is one year after the date of your termination of employment, or, if
earlier, the Expiration Date set forth above. After that date, any unexercised
SARs will expire. Any unvested SARs as of the date of termination will continue

  Due to Death   If you are an active employee for six months following the date

after the date of your termination of employment or, if earlier, the Expiration
Date set forth above. After that date, any unexercised SARs will expire. Any

  Due to Any Other Reason (such as voluntary termination)   SARs must be
exercised by the date on which you terminate employment.

     
Other Forfeiture
  If you engage in misconduct, the Company may demand that you repay this Award,
or cash payments you received as a result of this Award, within 10 days
following written demand by the Company. “Misconduct” is defined in the Plan,
and includes, but is not limited to, termination for cause (also defined in the
Plan) or the breach of a noncompete or confidentiality agreement in your
employment agreement.
 
   
Exercise/Payment
  Requests to exercise SARs will be valued using that day’s average of the high
and low price for Company common stock as determined on the NYSE-Composite
Transactions Tape. This price will be used to determine the gross payment from
the exercise transaction. If the exercise day is not a day the NYSE is open, the
transaction will be valued at the average price on the next trading day the
exchange is open. Proceeds of the exercise will be paid to you (or your
beneficiary, as applicable) by your local payroll.
 
   
 
  Calculation of the gross payment will be done in U.S. dollars and then
translated into local currency by your local payroll. Translation shall be done
using the exchange rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the exercise day,
or, if no rate is quoted, an

 

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

 

     
 
  appropriate published equivalent will be used. If the exercise day is not a
business day, the exchange rate quoted for the next business day will be used.
 
   
 
  In the event of a Change of Control in which the consideration paid to the
stockholders is solely cash, the Compensation Committee may provide that any
unexercised SARs will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the
(i) excess consideration paid per share of stock in the Change of Control over
the exercise price of your SARs multiplied by (ii) the number of your
unexercised SARs.
 
   
Non-transferability
  You may not transfer these SARs, except by will or laws of descent and
distribution. The SARs are exercisable during your lifetime only by you or your
guardian or legal representative.
 
   
Withholding
  When withholding of national, social, and/or local taxes is required in a
country, it will be withheld from the gross cash payment.
