RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT







pursuant to







LEXMARK INTERNATIONAL, INC.


2013 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN












This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") between Lexmark International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the person specified on the signature page hereof (the "Grantee") is entered into as of the Grant Date specified on the attached Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice (the “Award Notice”) pursuant to the Lexmark International, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the "Plan").  Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.







WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it would be to the advantage and in the interest of the Company to grant restricted stock units to the Grantee as an inducement to the Grantee to remain in the service of the Company or its Subsidiaries and as an incentive to the Grantee to devote his or her best efforts and dedication to the performance of such services and to maximize shareholder value; and







WHEREAS, the Grantee desires to accept from the Company the grant of the restricted stock units, as set forth in the Award Notice, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Award Notice and the Plan.







NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Award Notice, and in the Plan, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:








	
1.  

	
Restricted Stock Unit Award.













	
(a)  

	
Restricted Stock Unit Award.  The Company hereby grants to the Grantee, effective as of the Grant Date, the number of restricted stock units, as set forth in the Award Notice, each representing the Grantee's right to receive one share of Common Stock at the time or times provided for in the Award Notice, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Award Notice and the Plan (the "Restricted Stock Units" or "Units").













	
(b)  

	
Equity Compensation Plan.  This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms of the Plan, all of which terms are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement by reference.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.  The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, either with this Agreement or a prior Incentive Award made under the Plan, and agrees to comply with and be bound by all of the terms and conditions thereof.  Copies of the Plan may also be obtained from the Vice President of Human Resources at any time.













	
(c)  

	
Establishment of Account.  No shares of Common Stock will be issued on the Grant Date of the Restricted Stock Units and the Company shall not be required to set aside a fund for the settlement of any such Units.  The Company will establish a separate bookkeeping account for the Grantee and will record in such account the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded to the Grantee and, to the extent applicable, the Dividend Equivalent Units provided for in Section 3(b) hereof.

















  





1











  














	
(d)  

	
Forfeiture.  In accepting this grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee acknowledges that the Restricted Stock Units have been granted as an incentive to the Grantee to remain employed by the Company or any Subsidiary and to exert his or her best efforts to enhance the value of the Company or any Subsidiary over the long-term.  Accordingly, the Grantee agrees that if he or she (i) within 12 months following termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, accepts employment with a competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary or otherwise engages in competition with the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) within 36 months following termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, disrupts, damages, interferes or otherwise acts against the interests of the Company or any Subsidiary, including, but not limited to, recruiting, soliciting or employing, or encouraging or assisting his or her new employer or any other person or entity to recruit, solicit or employ, any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary without the Company’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in its sole discretion, (iii) within 36 months following termination of employment with the Company, or any Subsidiary, disparages, criticizes, or otherwise makes any derogatory statements regarding the Company or any Subsidiary or their directors, officers or employees, or (iv) discloses or otherwise misuses confidential information or material of the Company or any Subsidiary, each of these constituting a harmful action, then any unvested portion of this grant of Restricted Stock Units (including associated Dividend Equivalent Units) shall be canceled immediately (unless canceled earlier by operation of another term of this Agreement) and the Grantee shall immediately repay to the Company an amount equal to the value of the Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units (represented by the closing market price on the applicable Vesting Dates (as defined below) multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units, vested on such Vesting Dates, without regard to any subsequent market price decrease or increase) realized by Grantee from the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units, within 18 months preceding the earlier of (w) the commission of any such harmful action and (x) the Grantee's termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries; and through the later of (y) 18 months following the commission of any such harmful action and (z) such period as it takes the Company to discover such harmful action.  In addition, the Grantee acknowledges that, if he or she is a “Covered Employee” subject to the Company’s Executive Compensation Recovery Policy (the “Recovery Policy”) and engages in “Prohibited Activity,” that the unvested Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units, shall be canceled immediately and the Grantee shall immediately repay the “Equity Gains” realized by the Grantee during the “Recovery Period,” as such terms are defined in the Recovery Policy. The Grantee agrees that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has the right to deduct from any amounts the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may owe the Grantee from time to time (including amounts owed to the Grantee as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Grantee by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), the amounts the Grantee owes the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  The Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, not to enforce the provisions of this paragraph with respect to the Grantee.












Grantee agrees to be fully liable for any breach of this above described covenant, promise and agreement.  Grantee agrees to reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in enforcing the obligations of Grantee.  This entire provision shall survive the termination of the Agreement and, in no manner, shall the remedies described herein be considered as the Company’s exclusive or entire remedy for Grantee’s breach,






  





2











  













non-compliance or violation of any other agreement that Grantee may have entered into with the Company.













	
2.  

	
Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.













	
(a)  

	
Vesting.  The Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units, shall become vested in such amounts and on such Vesting Dates as set forth in the Award Notice, subject to the Grantee’s continuous employment with the Company or a Subsidiary from the Grant Date to the applicable Vesting Date.  To the extent vesting would result in the settlement of a fractional number of Units, the number shall be rounded to a whole Unit, but shall not exceed the total number Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Award Notice.













	
(b)  

	
Acceleration.  The Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units or waive any conditions to the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units.













	
(c)  

	
Termination of Employment.  In the event of the Grantee's termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason, other than death, Disability, Retirement or involuntary or constructive (as defined in Section 10.2 of the Plan) termination by the Company (other than for Cause) following a Change in Control, the Grantee shall immediately forfeit all rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units, which have not yet vested in accordance with the terms of the Award Notice, this Agreement, or the Plan.  The Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units, shall become 100% vested upon the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of the Grantee’s death or Disability, or upon the Grantee’s involuntary or constructive termination of employment by the Company (other than for Cause) following a Change in Control, and in each such case the date of such termination of employment shall be considered a “Vesting Date” for purposes of Section 3 and 4 hereof. If, at the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Grantee is eligible for Retirement, the Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units, shall continue to become vested on the Vesting Dates as set forth in the Award Notice.  For purposes of this Agreement, Retirement means termination of employment on or after the date the Grantee attains (i) age 65 or (ii) age 55, provided the Grantee has 15 years of continuous service with the Company and its Subsidiaries on such date.


















	
3.  

	
Settlement of Restricted Stock Unit Award.













	
(a)  

	
Settlement.  On, or as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 2.5 months) after, a Vesting Date, subject to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall direct its stock transfer agent to make (or to cause to be made) an appropriate book entry in the Company's stock transfer books and records reflecting the transfer to the Grantee, and the Grantee's ownership, of one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit and Dividend Equivalent Unit that shall have become vested on such Vesting Date.  Upon the Grantee's request, subject to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee a stock certificate registered in the Grantee's name and representing such number of shares of Common Stock free and clear of all restrictions except any that may be imposed by law.   No payment will be required to be made by the Grantee upon the











  





3











  














	
  

	
delivery of such shares of Common Stock, except as otherwise provided in Section 4 of the Agreement.













	
(b)  

	
Dividend Equivalent Units.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, during the period prior to a Vesting Date, the Company will credit to the bookkeeping account of the Grantee a number of units in an amount equal to (i) the dividend amount per share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units outstanding under this Agreement as of the dividend record date, divided by (ii) the closing price of Common Stock on the dividend payment date, rounded down to the nearest whole share ("Dividend Equivalent Units").  Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting conditions, as apply to the underlying Restricted Stock Units.  Dividend Equivalent Units in respect of Restricted Stock Units that shall have become vested on the applicable Vesting Date shall be payable to the Grantee on such Vesting Date.


















	
4.  

	
Tax Withholding.  The delivery of any directions to the Company's stock transfer agent or any certificates for shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 shall not be made unless and until the Grantee, or, if applicable, the Grantee's beneficiary or estate, has made appropriate arrangements for the payment to the Company of an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax withholding or other tax requirements, as determined by the Company.  To satisfy the Grantee's applicable withholding and other tax requirements, the Company may, in its sole discretion, (i) withhold a number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the Vesting Date equal to the applicable amount of such withholding and other tax requirements or (ii) require the Grantee to sell a number of shares of Common Stock having at least a value sufficient to meet the applicable amount of such withholding and other tax requirements to account for rounding and market fluctuations, subject to any rules adopted by the Committee or required to ensure compliance with applicable law, including, but not limited to, Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Shares required to be sold to satisfy the Grantee’s applicable withholding and other tax requirements may be sold as part of a block trade with the Grantee receiving an average price.  Any cash payment made pursuant to Section 3 shall be made net of any amounts required to be withheld or paid with respect thereto (and with respect to any shares of Common Stock delivered contemporaneously therewith) under any applicable U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax withholding and other tax requirements.













	
5.  

	
Transferability.  Unless otherwise provided in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units, may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by the Grantee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  The term "Grantee" as used in this Agreement shall include any permitted transferee of the Restricted Stock Units.













	
6.  

	
Adjustment in Capitalization.













	
(a)  

	
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units, granted hereunder shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect, as deemed equitable and appropriate by the Committee, an Adjustment Event.













	
(b)  

	
Any shares of stock (whether Common Stock, shares of stock into which shares of Common Stock are converted or for which shares of Common Stock are exchanged or shares of stock distributed with respect to Common Stock) or cash or other property received or credited to the account of the Grantee with respect











  





4











  














	
 

	
to the Restricted Stock Units, including associated Dividend Equivalent Units, as a result of any Adjustment Event, any distribution of property or any merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction shall, except as otherwise provided by the Committee, be subject to the same terms and conditions, including restrictions on transfer, as are applicable to the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which such shares, cash or other property is received or so credited and stock certificate(s), if any, representing or evidencing any shares of stock or other property so received shall be legended as appropriate.













	
7.  

	
Preemption by Applicable Laws and Regulations.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the issuance of shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be subject to compliance with all applicable U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. securities laws.  Without limiting the foregoing, if any law, regulation or requirement of any governmental authority having jurisdiction shall require either the Company or the Grantee (or the Grantee's beneficiary or estate) to take any action in connection with the issuance of any shares of Common Stock hereunder, the issuance of such shares shall be deferred until such action shall have been taken to the satisfaction of the Company.













	
8.  

	
Interpretation; Construction.  All of the powers and authority conferred upon the Committee pursuant to any term of the Plan or the Agreement shall be exercised by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  All determinations, interpretations or other actions made or taken by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan or the Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons and, in the event of any judicial review thereof, shall be overturned only if arbitrary and capricious.  The Committee may consult with legal counsel, who may be counsel to the Company or any Subsidiary, and shall not incur any liability for any action taken in good faith in reliance upon the advice of counsel.













	
9.  

	
Amendment.  The Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to alter or amend this Agreement, from time to time, as provided in the Plan in any manner for the purpose of promoting the objectives of the Plan, provided that no such amendment shall materially impair the Grantee's rights under this Agreement without the Grantee's consent.  Subject to the preceding sentence, any alteration or amendment of this Agreement by the Committee shall, upon adoption thereof by the Committee, become and be binding and conclusive on all persons affected thereby without requirement for consent or other action with respect thereto by any such person.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of the Grantee, amend this Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it may deem necessary or advisable for the purpose of implementing Sections 5.4 or 10 of the Plan or conforming the Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to this Agreement or the Plan.  The Company shall give written notice to the Grantee of any such alteration or amendment of this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the adoption thereof.  This Agreement may also be amended by a writing signed by both the Company and the Grantee.













	
10.
