EXHIBIT 10.4

NEWELL RUBBERMAID INC. 2013 INCENTIVE PLAN

2019 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”)

A Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) Award (the “Award”) granted by Newell Brands
Inc. (formerly known as Newell Rubbermaid Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), to the employee (the “Grantee”) named in the Award Letter provided
to the Grantee (the “Award Letter”) relating to the common stock, par value
$1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions and the provisions of the Newell Rubbermaid Inc.
2013 Incentive Plan, a copy of which is provided to the Grantee and the terms of
which are hereby incorporated by reference (the “Plan”). Unless otherwise
provided herein, capitalized terms of this Agreement shall have the same
meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

1.    Acceptance by Grantee. The receipt of the Award is conditioned upon the
Grantee’s acceptance of the Award Letter, thereby becoming a party to this
Agreement, no later than sixty (60) days after the date of the Award set forth
therein (the “Award Date”) or, if later, thirty (30) days after the Grantee is
informed of the availability of this Agreement.

2.    Grant of RSUs. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee the Award of RSUs,
as set forth in the Award Letter. An RSU is the right, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, to receive, as determined by the
Company, either a payment of a share of Common Stock for each RSU or cash equal
to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of vesting of
the Grantee’s Award, or a combination thereto, as described in Section 7 of this
Agreement.

3.    RSU Account. The Company shall maintain an account (“RSU Account”) on its
books in the name of the Grantee which shall reflect the number of RSUs awarded
to the Grantee.

4.    Dividend Equivalents. Upon the record date of any dividend on Common Stock
that occurs during the period preceding the earlier of the date of vesting of
the Grantee’s Award or the date the Grantee’s Award is forfeited as described
with Section 5, the Company shall credit the Grantee’s RSU Account with an
amount equal in value to the dividends that the Grantee would have received had
the Grantee been the actual owner of the number of shares of Common Stock
represented by the RSUs in the Grantee’s RSU Account on that record date. Such
amounts shall be paid to the Grantee at the time and in the form of payment
specified in Section 6. Any such dividend equivalents relating to RSUs that are
forfeited shall also be forfeited. Any payments of such accumulated amounts
shall be payments of dividend equivalents, and shall not constitute payments of
dividends to the Grantee that would violate the provisions of Section 8 of this
Agreement.

5.    Vesting.

(a)    Except as described in subsections (b), (c), and (d) below, the Grantee
shall become vested in his Award of RSUs ratably in one-third increments
(rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock) on the first and
second anniversaries of the Award Date and with respect to the remaining RSUs on
the third anniversary of the Award Date, if the Grantee remains in continuous
employment with the Company or an affiliate until such vesting date.

(b)    If, prior to the third anniversary of the Award Date, the Grantee dies or
incurs a disability while employed by the Company or an affiliate, the portion
of the Award then unvested shall become vested on the date of Grantee’s death or
disability notwithstanding whether the performance criteria applicable to the
unvested portion of the Award, if any, have been satisfied, except that the
portion of the then unvested Award with respect to which the vesting date has
passed as of the date of Grantee’s death or disability, without satisfaction of
any performance conditions applicable thereto, shall not become vested as of the
date of Grantee’s death or disability. For this purpose “disability” means (as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) the Grantee is unable to
engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in
death or which can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than
twelve (12) months. The portion of the Award that does not vest shall be
forfeited to the Company.

(c)    Subject to subsection (d), if the Grantee’s employment with the Company
and all affiliates terminates prior to the third anniversary of the Award Date
due to Grantee’s retirement, without cause, on or after the date on which the
Grantee has attained age fifty-five (55) with ten or more years of credited
service, any unvested RSUs granted twelve (12) or more months prior to Grantee’s
retirement shall remain outstanding until the applicable vesting date, at which
time the RSUs will vest as provided in this Section 5(c) notwithstanding whether
the performance criteria applicable to the unvested portion of the Award, if
any, have been satisfied, and the Grantee will receive “Pro-Rated RSUs” (without
regard to any requirements regarding continuous employment with the Company or
an affiliate until such vesting date), except that the portion of the then
unvested Award with respect to which the vesting date has passed as of the date
of Grantee’s retirement, without satisfaction of any performance conditions
applicable thereto, shall not become vested as of the applicable vesting date.
The portion of the Award that does not vest shall be forfeited to the Company.
For the avoidance of doubt, any Award made less than twelve (12) months prior to
retirement shall be forfeited and no portion of such Award shall vest. For
purposes of this subsection (c):

(1)    The term “affiliate” means each entity with whom the Company would be
considered a single employer under Sections 414(b) and 414(c) of the Code,
substituting “at least 50%” instead of “at least 80%” in making such
determination.

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

  

RETENTION GRANT

FEBRUARY 2019

 

 

(2)    The term “credited service” means the Grantee’s period of employment with
the Company and all affiliates since the most recent date of hire (including any
predecessor company or business acquired by the Company or any affiliate,
provided the Grantee was immediately employed by the Company or any affiliate).
Age and credited service shall be determined in fully completed years and
months, with each month being measured as a continuous period of thirty
(30) days.

(3)    The term “cause” means the Grantee’s termination of employment due to
unsatisfactory performance or conduct detrimental to the Company or its
affiliates, as determined solely by the Company.

(4)    The term “Pro-Rated RSUs” means, with respect to the RSUs granted to the
Grantee, the portion of each ratable increment of RSUs determined by dividing
the full number of months of Grantee’s employment with the Company and all
affiliates from the Award Date until Grantee’s retirement by the full number of
months in the applicable vesting period (in each case carried out to three
decimal points).

(d)    If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates
terminates prior to the third anniversary of the Award Date either by the
Company for any reason other than Good Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason,
any unvested RSUs shall remain outstanding until the applicable vesting date, at
which time the RSUs shall vest in full as provided in this Section 5(d) (without
regard to any requirements regarding continuous employment with the Company or
an affiliate until such vesting date). For purposes of this Agreement:

(1)    “Good Cause” means:

i.    the Grantee’s willful engagement in misconduct in the performance of his
or her duties that causes material harm to the Company; or

ii.    the Grantee’s conviction of a criminal violation involving fraud or
dishonesty.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following shall not
constitute Good Cause: the failure by the Grantee and/or the Company to attain
financial or other business objectives; any personal or policy disagreement
between the Grantee and the Company or any member of the Board; or any action
taken by the Grantee in connection with his or her duties if the Grantee has
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, and
not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was improper.

RETENTION GRANT

FEBRUARY 2019

 

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Company
terminates the employment of the Grantee for Good Cause hereunder, the Company
shall give the Grantee at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
specifying in detail the reason or reasons for the Grantee’s termination.

(2)    “Good Reason” shall exist if, without the Grantee’s written consent:

i.    there is a material adverse change in the nature or the scope of the
Grantee’s authority or duties;

ii.    the Grantee is required to report (A) to an officer with a materially
lesser position or title than the officer to whom the Grantee reported before
such change in reporting structure was instituted, if the Grantee is not the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or (B) to other than the entire Board,
if the Grantee is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company;

iii.    a material reduction in the Grantee’s rate of base salary;

iv.    the Company changes by fifty (50) miles or more the principal location in
which the Grantee is required to perform services;

v.    the Company terminates or materially amends, or terminates or materially
restricts the Grantee’s participation in, any equity, bonus or equity-based
compensation plans or qualified or supplemental retirement plans so that, when
considered in the aggregate with any substitute plan or plans, the plans in
which the Grantee is participating materially fail to provide him or her with a
level of benefits provided in the aggregate by such plans prior to such
termination or amendment; or

vi.    the Company materially breaches the provisions of this Agreement.

A termination of the Grantee’s employment shall not be deemed to be for Good
Reason unless (i) the Grantee gives notice to the Company of the existence of
the event or condition constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days after
such event or condition initially occurs or exists, (ii) the Company fails to
cure such event or condition within thirty (30) days after receiving such
notice, and (iii) the Grantee’s termination occurs not later than ninety
(90) days after such event or condition initially occurs or exists, in each case
without the Grantee’s written consent.

(e)    If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates
terminates prior to the third anniversary of the Award Date for any reason other
than those described in subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this Section 5, the
then-unvested portion of the Award shall be forfeited to the Company,
automatically upon such termination of the Grantee’s employment, without further
action required by the Company, and no portion of the Award shall thereafter
vest.

RETENTION GRANT

FEBRUARY 2019

 

 

The foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall be subject to the provisions of
any written employment security agreement or severance agreement that has been
or may be executed by the Grantee and the Company or any of its affiliates to
the extent such provisions provide treatment that is more favorable to the
Grantee than the treatment described in this Section 5, and such more favorable
provisions in such employment security agreement or severance agreement
concerning vesting of an Award shall supersede any inconsistent or contrary
provision of this Section 5. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any
written employment security agreement or severance agreement provides for
treatment that conflicts with the treatment described in this Section 5, the
Grantee shall be entitled to the treatment more favorable to the Grantee.

6.    Settlement of Award. If a Grantee becomes vested in the Award in
accordance with Section 5, the Company shall pay to the Grantee, or the
Grantee’s personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as applicable, either
a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested RSUs and
dividend equivalents credited to the Grantee’s RSU Account in respect of such
vested RSUs, or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common
Stock and dividend equivalents credited to the Grantee’s RSU Account in respect
of such vested RSUs on the date of vesting, or a combination thereof. Such
shares and/or cash shall be delivered/paid in a single sum within thirty
(30) days following the date of vesting as defined in Section 5.

7.    Withholding Taxes. The Company shall withhold from any payment made to the
Grantee in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy all minimum Federal, state and
local withholding tax requirements. In the case of a payment made in shares of
Common Stock, the Grantee shall pay to the Company an amount sufficient to
satisfy all minimum Federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior
to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock. Payment of such taxes may be made
by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, (ii) in cash received from
a broker-dealer to whom the Grantee has submitted irrevocable instructions to
deliver the amount of withholding tax to the Company from the proceeds of the
sale of shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, (iii) by directing the
Company to withhold a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable
pursuant to the Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the tax required to be
withheld, (iv) by delivery to the Company of other shares of Common Stock owned
by the Grantee that is acceptable to the Company, valued at its Fair Market
Value on the date of payment, or by certifying to ownership by attestation of
such previously owned shares of Common Stock, or (v) any combination of the
foregoing.

8.    Rights as Stockholder. Grantee shall not be entitled to any of the rights
of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Award, including the right
to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions, until and to the
extent the Award is settled in shares of Common Stock.

9.    Share Delivery. Delivery of any shares of Common Stock in connection with
settlement of the Award will be by book-entry credit to an account in the
Grantee’s name established by the Company with the Company’s transfer agent, or
upon written request from the Grantee (or his personal representative,
beneficiary or estate, as the case may be), in certificates in the name of the
Grantee (or his personal representative, beneficiary or estate).

10.    Award Not Transferable. The Award may not be transferred other than by
last will and testament or the applicable laws of descent or distribution or
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. The Award shall not otherwise
be assigned, transferred, or pledged for any purpose whatsoever and is not
subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution or levy of any kind. Any
attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or encumbrance of the Award, other than
in accordance with its terms, shall be void and of no effect.

11.    Administration. The Award shall be administered in accordance with such
regulations as the Organizational Development and Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) shall from time to time
adopt.

12.    Section 409A Compliance. To the extent that the Grantee’s right to
receive payment of the RSUs and related dividend equivalents constitutes a
“deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and
regulatory guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), then
notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the shares of
Common Stock and cash otherwise deliverable under Sections 4 and 6 shall be
delivered in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code
because:

(a)    The shares of Common Stock underlying the vested RSUs and the related
dividend equivalents that are to become vested, and are deliverable, on the
first, second and/or third anniversaries of the Award Date (where the Grantee
either remains in continuous employment with the Company or an affiliate until
such vesting date, terminates employment prior to the third year anniversary of
the Award Date due to retirement, as defined above, is terminated by the Company
for any reason other than Good Cause, or terminates employment for Good Reason)
shall be delivered to the Grantee, or his personal representative, beneficiary
or estate, as applicable, within thirty (30) days following the applicable
anniversary of the Award Date.

dividend equivalents that are to become vested, and are deliverable, prior to
the applicable anniversary of the Award Date on the Grantee’s death or
disability shall be delivered to the Grantee, or his personal representative,
beneficiary or estate, as applicable, within thirty (30) days following the
Grantee’s death or disability.

(c)    In the event that any taxes described in Section 7 of this Agreement are
due prior to the distribution of shares of Common Stock or cash underlying the
RSUs, then the Grantee shall be required to satisfy the tax obligation in cash.

(d)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Grantee shall be
solely responsible for the tax consequences related to this Award, and neither
the Company nor its affiliates shall be responsible if the Award fails to comply
with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.

13.    Restrictive Covenants.

(a)    Definitions. The following definitions apply in this Agreement:

(1)    “Confidential Information” means any information that is not generally

design, device, list, tool, or compilation, that relates to the present or

potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily
ascertainable by proper means to, other persons who can obtain economic value
from their disclosure or use; and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are
reasonable under the circumstances to maintain their secrecy. To the extent that
the foregoing definition is inconsistent with a definition of “trade secret”
under applicable law, the latter definition shall control.

practices and processes, and improvements thereof and know-how related thereto,

that does not relate to the Company’s business or anticipated business or that
does not relate to the Grantee’s work for the Company and which was developed
entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the use of Company equipment,
supplies, facilities or Confidential Information or Trade Secrets.

(b)    Confidentiality

(1)    During the Grantee’s employment and for a period of five (5) years
thereafter, regardless of whether the Grantee’s separation is voluntary or
involuntary or the reason therefor, the Grantee shall not use any Tangible
Company Property, nor any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets, that comes
into the Grantee’s possession in any way by reason of the Grantee’s employment,
except for the benefit of the Company in the course of the Grantee’s employment

attributable to the Grantee, the Grantee will maintain all Trade Secrets to
which the Grantee has received access while employed by the Company as

(3)    The foregoing means that the Grantee will not, without written authority
from the Company, use Confidential Information or Trade Secrets for the benefit
or purposes of the Grantee or of any third party, or disclose them to others,
except as required by the Grantee’s employment with the Company or as authorized
above.

(4)    Nothing in this Agreement prevents the Grantee from providing, without
prior notice to the Company, information to governmental authorities regarding
possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible
legal violations.

(c)    Inventions and Designs

(1)    The Grantee will promptly disclose to the Company all Inventions that the
Grantee develops, either alone or with others, during the period of the
Grantee’s employment. All inventions that the Grantee has developed prior to
this date have been identified by the Grantee to the Company. The Grantee shall
make and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions covered
by this Agreement. These records shall be and remain the property of the
Company.

(2)    The Grantee hereby assigns any right and title to any Inventions to the
Company.

(3)    With respect to Inventions that are copyrightable works, any Invention
the Grantee creates will be deemed a “work for hire” created within the scope of
the Grantee’s employment, and such works and copyright interests therein (and
all renewals and extensions thereof) shall belong solely and exclusively to the
Company, with the Company having sole right to obtain and hold in its own name
copyrights or such other protection as the Company may deem appropriate to the
subject matter, and any extensions or renewals thereof. If and to the extent
that any such Invention is found not to be a work-for-hire, the Grantee hereby
assigns to the Company all right and title to such Invention (including all
copyrights and other intellectual property rights therein and all renewals and
extensions thereof).

(4)    The Grantee agrees to execute all papers and otherwise provide assistance
to the Company to enable it to obtain patents, copyrights, trademarks or other
legal protection for Inventions in any country during, or after, the period of
the Grantee’s employment. Such assistance shall include but not be limited to
preparation and modification (or both) of patent, copyright or trademark
applications, preparation and modification (or both) of any documents related to
perfecting the Company’s title to the Inventions, and assistance in any
litigation which may result or which may become necessary to obtain, assert, or
defend the validity of any such patent, copyright or trademark or otherwise
relates to such patent, copyright or trademark.

FEBRUARY 2019

 

 

(d)    Non-Solicitation. Throughout the Grantee’s employment and for twenty-
four (24) months thereafter, the Grantee agrees that the Grantee will not
directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any person or entity,
solicit or induce, or assist in any manner in the solicitation or inducement of:
(i) employees of the Company, other than those in clerical or secretarial
positions, to leave their employment with the Company (this restriction is
limited to employees with whom the Grantee has had contact for the purpose of
performing the Grantee’s job duties and responsibilities); or (ii) customers or
actively-sought prospective customers of the Company to purchase from another
person or entity products and services that are the same as or similar to those
offered and provided by the Company in the last two (2) years of the Grantee’s
employment (“Competitive Products”) (this restriction is limited to customers or
actively-sought prospective customers with whom the Grantee has material contact
through performance of the Grantee’s job duties and responsibilities or through
otherwise performing services on behalf of the Company).

(e)    Non-Competition. Throughout the Grantee’s employment and for twenty- four
(24) months thereafter, whether terminated for any reason or no reason, Grantee
will not perform the same or substantially the same job duties on behalf of a
business or organization that competes with any line of business of the Company
for which Grantee has provided substantial services; provided, however, that for
the purpose of this paragraph “line of business” shall exclude any product line
or category that accounts for less than two percent (2%) of the consolidated net
sales of the Company or the Grantee’s new employer during the last completed
fiscal year prior to the termination of employment. Because the Company’s
business is worldwide in scope, it is reasonable for this restriction to apply
in every state in the United States and in every other country in which
Competitive Products under such line of business were or are sold or marketed.

(f)    Non-Disparagement. Throughout the Grantee’s employment and for
twenty-four (24) months thereafter, whether terminated for any reason or no
reason, the Grantee agrees not to make any disparaging or negative statements
regarding the Company or its affiliated companies and its and their officers,
directors, and employees, or its and their products, or to otherwise act in any
manner that would damage the business reputation of the same. Nothing in this
non-disparagement provision is intended to limit your ability to provide
truthful information to any governmental or regulatory agency or to cooperate
with any such agency in any investigation.

(g)    Enforcement.

(1)    The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions provided
in this Section 13 of the Agreement are reasonable in time and scope in light of
the necessity for the protection of the business and good will of the Company
and the consideration provided to the Grantee under this Agreement; and (ii) the
Grantee’s ability to work and earn a living will not be unreasonably restrained
by the application of these restrictions.

(2)    The Grantee also recognizes and agrees that should the Grantee fail to
comply with the restrictions set forth above, the Company would suffer
substantial damage for which there is no adequate remedy at law due to the
impossibility of ascertaining exact money damages. The Grantee therefore agrees
that in the event of the breach or threatened breach by the Grantee of any of
the terms and conditions of Section 13 of this Agreement, the Company shall be
entitled, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it, to
institute proceedings in a federal or state court to secure immediate temporary,
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the posting of a bond. The
Grantee additionally agrees that if the Grantee is found to have breached any
covenant in this Section 13 of the Agreement, the time period provided for in
the particular covenant will not begin to run until after the breach has ended,
and the Company will be entitled to recover all costs and attorney fees incurred
by it in enforcing this Section 13 of the Agreement.

(3)    Grantee may transfer between Newell Brands subsidiaries, Divisions or
brands and/or assume different job duties during employment. In that case, these
Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation provisions shall automatically be assigned
to any other Company employer without any further action by Grantee and without
any additional consideration for this Agreement to be enforceable against
Grantee by Company.

14.    Data Privacy Consent. The Grantee hereby consents to the collection, use
and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as
described in this Agreement by the Company and its affiliates for the exclusive
purpose of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in
the Plan. The Grantee understands that the Company and its affiliates hold
certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to,
name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, Social Security number
or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of
stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other
entitlement to shares of stock or stock units awarded, canceled, purchased,
exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor for the
purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The
Grantee understands that the 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 the Grantee’s country or elsewhere and that
the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than
the Grantee’s country. The Grantee understands that the Grantee may request a
list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by
contacting the local human resources representative. The Grantee authorizes the
recipients of Data to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in
electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and
managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite
transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with
whom the Grantee may elect to deposit any shares or other award acquired under
the Plan. The Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long

as is necessary to implement, administer and manage participation in the Plan.
The Grantee understands that the Grantee may, at any time, view Data, request
additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any
necessary amendments to the Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in
any case without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative in
writing. The Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect
the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the
consequences of refusing to consent or withdrawing consent, the Grantee
understands that the Grantee may contact his or her local human resources
representative.

15.    Electronic Delivery. The Grantee hereby consents and agrees to electronic
delivery of any documents that the Company may elect to deliver (including, but
not limited to, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant or award
notifications and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports,
and all other forms of communications) in connection with this Award and any
other award made or offered under the Plan. The Grantee understands that, unless
earlier revoked by the Grantee by giving written notice to the Secretary of the
Company, this consent shall be effective for the duration of the Agreement. The
Grantee also understands that he or she shall have the right at any time to
request that the Company deliver written copies of any and all materials
referred to above at no charge. The Grantee hereby consents to any and all
