PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT


This PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) between the Campbell Soup Company (the “Company”) and [Employee Full Legal Name] (“Grantee”), an employee of the Company or one of its participating subsidiaries on [    ](the “Grant Date”). 
WHEREAS, the Company desires to award Grantee performance restricted stock units (the “Award), which each represent a right to receive one share of Capital Stock, $.0375 par value of the Company (a “Share” or “Shares”) as hereinafter provided (the “Performance Stock Units”), under the Company’s 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and this Agreement. 
WHEREAS, by accepting this Award, the Grantee agrees to the terms of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of valuable consideration the legal sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Grantee, each intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.    Form of Award.  The Company hereby grants to Grantee on the Grant Date [#Granted] Performance Stock Units.  The Performance Stock Units are in all respects limited and conditioned as hereinafter provided, and are subject in all respects to the Plan’s terms and conditions, as amended.  During the performance cycle, the Award shall consist of stock units but any portion of the Award that ultimately vests will be delivered in Shares.
The number of Shares that will vest and be delivered, if any, may range from 0-200% of [#Granted] Shares, as applicable.  Any accumulated dividend equivalents will be paid in cash pursuant to paragraph 3 below.  Shares will vest and be delivered only after approval by the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of the achievement of Company performance criteria previously established and approved by the Committee for the performance cycle (each a “Vesting Date” and as defined in the applicable LTI Brochure).
In the event an adjustment pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Plan is required, the number of Shares that may ultimately vest under the Award, if any, shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Plan.  All Shares that may ultimately vest under the Award, if any, after such adjustment shall be subject to the same restrictions applicable to any Shares that may have vested under this Agreement before the adjustment.
2.    Full or Pro-Rata Awards upon Certain Events.  The Award shall terminate and become null and void if and when the Grantee ceases to be an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries prior to the Vesting Date due to termination for Cause, voluntary resignation or Retirement, except as provided below:
(a)If the Grantee’s employment is terminated at least six (6) months following the Grant Date by the Company other than for Cause or as a result of Retirement, Total Disability, or death, the Grantee (or his or her legal representative, as applicable) shall be eligible to receive a ProRata Vesting of the Award determined as of the date of termination.


(b)Any Termination Prior to Six-Month Anniversary of Grant Date.  If Grantee ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason before six (6) months have elapsed from the Grant Date, the Award shall be cancelled by the Company and Grantee shall forfeit the entire Award.


LTI Grant Agreement     1






(c)Cancellation.  Notwithstanding the forgoing paragraph 2(a) above, if Grantee’s employment is terminated at least six (6) months following the Grant Date by the Company other than for Cause or as a result of Retirement, Total Disability, or death, and the terms of the Non-Competition and Restrictive Covenants Agreement (“RCA”) which is attached hereto as Exhibit A are subsequently violated, the Committee or its delegate, in its sole direction, may cancel the unvested portions of the Award, including any Pro Rata Vesting of the Award. The Grantee represents, warrants, and agrees that any such cancellation of an Award or a part thereof shall not constitute an adequate remedy of law in connection with any efforts by the Company to enforce the terms of the RCA and shall not prevent the Company from obtaining other relief, including injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of the RCA.


(d)Integration with Severance Benefits.  For U.S. participants, notwithstanding paragraphs 2(a)-(c) above, if severance is offered, eligibility for a prorated Award is contingent upon the Company receiving your signed Severance Agreement & General Release.  Without a signed release, all unvested Performance Stock Units are forfeited.
(e)For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
1.“Retirement” or “Retirement Eligible” means Grantee terminates, or is eligible to terminate, employment with the Company or its subsidiaries after attaining 55 years of age with at least 5 years of continuous service on or prior to the date of termination.
2.“Total Disability” means “Total Disability” or “Totally Disabled” as that term is defined under a Company-sponsored long-term disability plan from which Grantee is receiving disability benefits and which is in effect from time to time on and after the Grant Date.
3.“Pro-Rata Vesting” means a number of Shares deliverable upon a pro-rata vesting event. This shall be calculated by multiplying this Award by the number of months worked from Grant Date to termination date divided by 36, which will then be multiplied by a factor based on the Company’s attainment of performance criteria during the performance cycle as set forth in paragraph 1 above.  Thereafter, the number of Shares deliverable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.
4.“Termination of employment,” “separation from service,” and similar references mean a separation from service within the meaning of Code Section 409A with the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, which includes circumstances in which Grantee is reasonably anticipated not to perform further services with the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries.
Any Shares deliverable under this Paragraph 2 shall be delivered at the same time long-term incentive awards are normally paid and/or delivered after the end of the performance cycle. 
Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 2 to the contrary, in the case of a Key Employee (defined below), a distribution upon the Key Employee’s termination of employment shall be made on the first day of the month following six (6) months after the date on which the Key Employee separates from service or, if earlier, the date of death.  A “Key Employee” means an employee who, as of his termination of employment from the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries, is treated as a “specified employee” under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (i.e., a key employee as defined in Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof).  Key Employees shall be determined in accordance with Code Section 409A.  Currently, the Company classifies all employees in Salary Grade Levels A and B as Key Employees. 
3.    Dividend Equivalent Payment.  After a Vesting Date, Grantee shall be paid in cash the accumulated amount equivalent to the dividends which would have been paid on such Shares underlying the 
LTI Grant Agreement     2






Performance Stock Units to the extent the Company’s Board of Directors had approved and declared a dividend on its Capital Stock.  Such dividend equivalent amount shall be paid during that month following that Vesting Date.  Subject to paragraph 2 above, the dividend equivalent payment shall be forfeited for any Performance Stock Units that do not vest or are terminated in accordance with paragraph 2.
4.    Incorporation of Plan Terms.  This Award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  Such terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement by reference.  In the event of any conflicts between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.  The Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions which may arise in connection with the Award or this Agreement, including whether a Grantee is no longer actively employed and any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan unless the context clearly requires an alternative meaning. 
5.    Cancellation/Rescission of Award after Vesting or Distribution.
(a)If while Grantee is an employee of the Company (or one of its subsidiaries) or after Grantee ceases to be such an employee, the Committee or its delegate determines that Grantee breached his or her duty of loyalty to the Company, any Shares distributed in settlement of this Award during the three (3) year period prior to such deemed breach shall be rescinded.
1.The Company shall notify Grantee in writing of any such rescission not later than one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the Company obtains knowledge of Grantee’s breach of his or her duty of loyalty as described in Subparagraph 5(a) above.
2.Within ten (10) days after receiving a such notice from the Company: (i) Grantee must surrender to the Company the Shares acquired upon settlement of this  Award; or (ii) if such Shares have been sold or transferred, (x) Grantee must make a payment to the Company of the proceeds from such sale or transfer, or (y) if there are no proceeds from such transfer, Grantee must make a payment to the Company equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of such Shares on the date of such transfer.  In all cases, Grantee shall pay to the Company the gross amount of any gain realized or payment received (not net of any withholding or other taxes paid by Grantee) as a result of the Shares.
(b)If while Grantee is an employee of the Company (or one of its subsidiaries) or after Grantee ceases to be such an employee, the Committee or its delegate determines that Grantee breached his or her duty of loyalty to the Company before any Performance Stock Units vest pursuant to the achievement of Company performance criteria previously established and approved by the Committee for the performance cycle (as defined in the applicable LTI Brochure), this Award shall be cancelled without further action by the Committee or its delegate.
For purposes of this Agreement and avoidance of doubt, “duty of loyalty” to the Company means that Grantee cannot act contrary to the Company’s interest, such as competing with the Company while employed or using the Company’s proprietary and confidential information to compete with the Company, or as otherwise as determined by a court of law.  
6.    Withholding of Taxes.  The Company will require Grantee to remit an amount equal to any tax withholding required under federal, state or local law on the value of the Shares deliverable under this Agreement at such time as the Company is required to withhold such amounts.   In accordance with any procedures established by the Committee, Grantee may satisfy any required tax withholding payments in cash or Shares (including the surrender of Shares held by the Grantee or those that would otherwise be issued in settlement of this Award). Any surrendered or withheld Shares will constitute satisfaction of any required tax withholding to the extent of their Fair Market Value.

Grantee’s right in the Performance Stock Units awarded under this Agreement and any interest therein may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.  The Award shall not be subject to execution, attachment or other process.

Grantee shall have no voting rights with respect to the Performance Stock Units.  
10.    Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner so as not to subject Grantee to the assessment of additional taxes or interest under Code section 409A to the extent such Grantee or any payment under this Agreement is subject to U.S. tax laws, and this Agreement shall be amended as the Company, in its sole discretion, determines is necessary and appropriate to avoid the application of any such taxes or interest.
11.    Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means or to request the Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.
