This AMENDMENT TO TIME-VESTING RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this
“Amendment”) is entered into as of April 18, 2012, by and between Celanese
Corporation (the “Company”) and <<NAME>> (the “Participant”), and amends that
certain Time-Vesting Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement dated as of
<<Original Date>> (the “Agreement”), by and between the Company and the
Participant.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Participant desire to amend certain provisions of
the Agreement to implement the Company’s retirement policy for equity awards.

In consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1. Effects of Certain Events Prior to Vesting. Section 4 of the Agreement is
hereby amended to implement retirement provisions and is therefore amended and
restated to read in its entirety as follows:

4.     Effects of Certain Events Prior to Vesting:
(a)Upon the termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company without
Cause or due to the Participant’s Retirement, death or Disability, a prorated
portion of the RSUs that remain unvested will vest in an amount equal to (i) the
unvested RSUs in each Vesting Period multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of complete and partial calendar months from
the Grant Date to the date of termination without Cause or due to the
Participant’s Retirement, death or Disability, and the denominator of which is
the number of complete and partial calendar months in each applicable Vesting
Period, such product to be rounded up to the nearest whole number. In the case
of
(1) termination without Cause, (A) such prorated number of unvested RSUs shall
vest on the respective remaining Vesting Dates and will be subject to any
applicable taxes under Section 8 upon such vesting, (B) a portion of such
prorated RSUs, <<hold percent>> (Holding Period RSUs), which may be rounded up
in each case to avoid fractional shares, will be non-transferable upon vesting
and subject to a holding period requirement as provided in Section 3, with the
effect that such portion of the prorated RSUs shall be treated as Holding Period
RSUs, and shall be settled under Section 5(b) on the Delivery Date, subject to
any applicable taxes under Section 8 on the Delivery Date, and (C) the remaining
portion of such RSUs, <<transferable percent>> (Transferable RSUs), which may be
rounded in each case to avoid fractional shares, will be settled in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5(a) following the applicable Vesting Date,
subject to any applicable taxes under Section 8; and
(2) separation as a result of Retirement, (A) such prorated number of unvested
RSUs shall vest on the respective remaining Vesting Dates and will be subject to
any

applicable taxes under Section 8 upon such vesting, (B) a portion of such
prorated RSUs, <<hold percent>> (Holding Period RSUs), which may be rounded up
in each case to avoid fractional shares, will be non-transferable upon vesting
and subject to a holding period requirement as provided in Section 3, with the
effect that such portion of the prorated RSUs shall be treated as Holding Period
RSUs, and shall be settled under Section 5(b) on the Delivery Date, subject to
any applicable taxes under Section 8 on the Delivery Date, and (C) the remaining
portion of such RSUs, <<transferable percent>> (Transferable RSUs), which may be
rounded in each case to avoid fractional shares, will be settled in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5(a) following the applicable Vesting Date,
subject to any applicable taxes under Section 8. As a condition to the vesting
provisions upon Retirement contained in this subsection, the Participant shall
enter into a separation agreement with the Company upon Retirement that includes
two-year noncompetition and non-solicitation covenants in a form acceptable to
the Company. Any outstanding Holding Period RSUs as of Retirement, and any
unvested RSUs that may vest after Retirement, will continue to be subject to the
holding period requirement until the applicable Delivery Date; and
(3) termination by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, such
prorated number of RSUs shall vest on the respective remaining Vesting Dates and
will be subject to any applicable taxes under Section 8 upon such vesting, and a
number of Common Shares equal to such prorated number of RSUs shall be delivered
to the Participant or beneficiary within thirty (30) days following the original
applicable Vesting Date.
The remaining unvested portion of the Award shall be immediately forfeited and
cancelled without consideration as of the date of the Participant’s termination
of employment without Cause or due to the Participant’s Retirement, death or
disability.
(b)Upon the termination of the Participant’s employment for any other reason,
the unvested portion of the Award shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled
without consideration as of the date of the Participant’s termination of
employment, and any Holding Period RSUs shall remain subject to the provisions
of this Agreement until the applicable Delivery Date, except in the case of a
termination for Cause, in which case the Holding Period RSUs (if any) shall be
immediately forfeited and cancelled without consideration as of such date.
2. Definitions. Section 23 is hereby amended to add a definition of Retirement
as follows:
(d)“Retirement” of the Participant shall mean a voluntary separation from
service on or after the date when the Participant is both 55 years of age and
has ten years of service with the Company.

3. No Other Amendments. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, the
Agreement remains in full force and effect.
