Section 1.Grant of Relative Value Award
Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation (“Lilly” or the “Company”), has granted to the Eligible Individual who has received this Relative Value Award Agreement (the “Grantee”) a Performance-Based Award (the “Relative Value Award” or the “Award”) with respect to the target number of shares of Lilly Common Stock (the “Shares”) that the Grantee may view by logging on to the Merrill Lynch website at http://myequity.lilly.com. (the "Target Number of Shares").
The Award is made pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated 2002 Lilly Stock Plan (the “Plan”) and to the terms and conditions set forth in this Relative Value Award Agreement, including all appendices, exhibits and addenda hereto (the “Award Agreement”).  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall govern. 


Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.  
Section 2.Vesting
As soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the number of Shares that are eligible to vest which shall be equal to the product of (i) the Target Number of Shares, multiplied by (ii) the Payout Multiple, where:  
a.“Payout Multiple” shall mean the payout multiple set forth in the Lilly Relative Total Shareholder Return Performance Levels table set forth on the first page of this document, representing the attainment level of Lilly’s rTSR, measured against the performance goal attainment levels set forth in the table.
b.“Final Lilly Stock Price” shall mean the average of the closing price of a share of Lilly Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for each trading day in the last two months of the Performance Period, rounded to the nearest cent. 
c.“Total Shareholder Return” or “TSR” shall mean the quotient of (i) the Final Lilly Stock Price or Final Peer Stock Price, as applicable, minus the corresponding Beginning Stock Price, including the impact of Dividend reinvestment on each ex-dividend date, if any, paid by the applicable issuer during the Performance Period, divided by (ii) the corresponding Beginning Stock Price.   
The stock prices and cash dividend payments reflected in the calculation of TSR shall be adjusted to reflect stock splits during the Performance Period and dividends shall be assumed to be reinvested in the relevant issuer’s shares for purposes of the calculation of TSR.   
d.“Relative Total Shareholder Return” or “rTSR” shall mean the comparison between Lilly’s TSR and the TSR of the Peer Group over the Performance Period, measured as the absolute percentage point difference in the performance of the Company’s TSR compared to the Peer Group’s median TSR.
e.“Beginning Stock Price” shall mean the average closing price of a share of Lilly Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange or a share of each Peer Group company’s stock, as applicable, for each trading day in the two month period immediately preceding the Performance Period, rounded to the nearest cent.

f.“Final Peer Stock Price” shall mean the average of the closing price of a share of each Peer Group company’s stock, on Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange, or other market where an independent share price can be determined, for each trading day in the last two months of the Performance Period, rounded to the nearest cent.   
g.“Dividend” shall mean ordinary or extraordinary cash dividends paid by Lilly or a Peer Group company to its shareholders of record at any time during the Performance Period.  
h.“Peer Group” shall mean all companies identified and most recently approved by the Committee as a member of the Company’s Peer Group in effect as of the Grant Date.  Companies that are members of the Peer Group at the beginning of the Performance Period that subsequently cease to be traded on a market where an independent share price can be determined shall be excluded from the Peer Group.   
In the event the Grantee’s Service is terminated prior to the end of the Performance Period for any reason or in any circumstance other than as described in Section 3 below, the Award shall be forfeited.  
Section 3.Impact of Certain Employment Status Changes

b.Death; Disability.  In the event the Grantee’s Service is terminated (i) due to the Grantee’s death, or (ii) by reason of Grantee’s Disability, the number of Shares eligible to vest shall be the number determined in accordance with Section 2 above.
“Disability” for purposes of this Award Agreement means that the Grantee would qualify to receive benefit payments under the long-term disability plan or policy, as it may be amended from time to time, of the Company or the Affiliate that employs the Grantee (the “Employer”).

c.Qualifying Termination.  In the event the Grantee’s employment is subject to a Qualifying Termination (as defined below), the number of Shares eligible to vest shall be the number determined in accordance with Section 2 above, reduced proportionally for the portion of the total days during the Performance Period in which the Grantee was not in active Service.  
For purposes of this Award Agreement, a “Qualifying Termination” means the termination of the Grantee's Service under any one of the following circumstances:  
i.retirement as a “retiree,” which is a person who is (A) a retired employee under The Lilly Retirement Plan; (B) a retired employee under the retirement plan or program of an Affiliate; (C) a retired employee under a retirement

program specifically approved by the Committee; (D) required to retire under local law, to the extent authorized by the Company to address such local requirements or (E) otherwise determined to be a retired employee in the sole discretion of the Company; 
ii.the Grantee’s Service is terminated due to a plant closing or reduction in workforce (as defined below);
iii.as a result of the Grantee’s failure to locate a position within the Company or an Affiliate following the placement of the Grantee on reallocation or medical reassignment in the United States (or equivalent as determined by the Committee).
“Plant closing” means the closing of a plant site or other corporate location that directly results in termination of the Grantee’s Service. 
“Reduction in workforce” means the elimination of a work group, functional or business unit or other broadly applicable reduction in job positions that directly results in termination of the Grantee’s Service.  
d.Demotions, Disciplinary Actions and Misconduct.

The Committee’s determination as to whether (1) a leave of absence or a transfer of employment between Lilly and an Affiliate or between Affiliates constitutes a termination of Service, (2) the Grantee’s Service has been terminated by reason of Disability, (3) the Grantee’s Service has been terminated as a result a direct result of either a plant closing or a reduction in force, (4) the Grantee’s Service has been terminated of as a result of the failure to locate a position within the Company or an Affiliate following reallocation or medical reassignment, and (5) the Grantee’s Service has been terminated by reason of retirement as a “retiree” (as defined in Section 3(c)(i)) shall be final and binding on the Grantee.  
Section 4.Change in Control

b.In the event of a Transaction that occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee will be credited with an award of Restricted Stock Units equal to the number of Shares eligible to vest, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 2, but the Final Lilly Stock Price shall be equal to the value of Shares established for the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares in the Transaction and the Final Peer Stock Price shall be equal to the closing price of a share of each Peer Group company’s stock, on Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange, or other market where an independent share price can be determined, on the date the Transaction closes (or if such day is not a trading date, the first trading date immediately preceding such date) (the “Credited RSU Award”).

d.At the time of settlement provided in this Section 5, Lilly shall issue or transfer Shares or the cash equivalent, as contemplated under Section 5(e) below, to the Grantee.

f.In the event of the death of the Grantee, the payments described above shall be made to the successor of the Grantee.

b.No Trust; Grantee’s Rights Unsecured.  Neither this Award Agreement nor any action in accordance with this Award Agreement shall be construed to create a trust of any kind.  The right of the Grantee to receive payments of cash or Shares pursuant to this Award Agreement shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company.
Section 7.Prohibition Against Transfer
The right of a Grantee to receive payments of Shares and/or cash under this Award may not be transferred except to a duly appointed guardian of the estate of the Grantee or to a successor of the Grantee by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution and then only subject to the provisions of this Award Agreement.  A Grantee may not assign, sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer Shares or cash to which he or she may be entitled hereunder prior to transfer or payment thereof to the Grantee, and any such attempted assignment, sale, pledge or transfer shall be void.
Section 8.Responsibility for Taxes
a.Regardless of any action Lilly and/or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Lilly or the Employer.  The Grantee further acknowledges that Lilly and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the Relative Value Award, the vesting of the Relative Value Award, the transfer and issuance of any Shares, the receipt of any cash payment pursuant to the Award, the receipt of any dividends and the sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to this Award; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax Related Items or achieve any 
Page 7





Eli Lilly and Company Relative Value Award Agreement



particular tax result.  Furthermore, if the Grantee becomes subject to Tax Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
b.Prior to the applicable taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Lilly and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax Related Items.  
i.If the Relative Value Award is paid to the Grantee in cash in lieu of Shares, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any obligation for Tax Related Items by withholding from the cash amount paid to the Grantee pursuant to the Award or from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer.
ii.If the Relative Value Award is paid to the Grantee in Shares and the Grantee is not subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Grantee authorizes Lilly and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to (A) withhold from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer, (B) arrange for the sale of Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Award (on the Grantee’s behalf and at the Grantee’s direction pursuant to this authorization or such other authorization as the Grantee may be required to provide to Lilly or its designated broker in order for such sale to be effectuated) and withhold from the proceeds of such sale, (C) withhold in Shares otherwise issuable to the Grantee pursuant to this Award, and/or (D) apply any other method of withholding determined by the Company and, to the extent required by Applicable Laws or the Plan, approved by the Committee.
iii.If the Relative Value Award is paid to the Grantee in Shares and the Grantee is subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, Lilly will withhold in Shares otherwise issuable to the Grantee pursuant to this Award, unless the use of such withholding method is prevented by Applicable Laws or has materially adverse accounting or tax consequences, in which case the withholding obligation for Tax Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of the methods set forth in Section 8(b)(ii)(A) and (B) above.
c.Depending on the withholding method, Lilly and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax Related Items by considering applicable statutory or other withholding rates, including minimum or maximum rates in the jurisdiction(s) applicable to the Grantee.  In the event of over-withholding, the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (without interest and without entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares).  If the obligation for Tax Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares to which he or she is entitled pursuant to this Award, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are withheld to satisfy the obligation for Tax Related Items.  
d.Lilly may refuse to deliver Shares or any cash payment to the Grantee if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligation in connection with the Tax Related Items as described in this Section 8.

i.the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
j.no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the Grantee ceasing to provide employment or other services to Lilly or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of local labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of Grantee’s employment agreement, if any);
k.for purposes of the Award, the Grantee’s employment will be considered terminated as of the date he or she is no longer actively providing services to the Company or an Affiliate and the Grantee’s right, if any, to earn and be paid any portion of the Award after such termination of employment or services (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not such termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of the Grantee’s employment agreement, if any) will be measured by the date 
Page 9





Eli Lilly and Company Relative Value Award Agreement



the Grantee ceases to actively provide services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or the terms of the Grantee’s employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Award (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to be actively providing services while on a leave of absence) in accordance with Section 409A;
l.unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Committee in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares;
m.the Grantee is solely responsible for investigating and complying with any laws applicable to him or her in connection with the Award; and 
n.neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or any amounts due to the Grantee pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.   
Section 11.Data Privacy

The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Grantee’s consent.

b.Stock Plan Administration Service Providers.

b.Insider Trading / Market Abuse Laws. The Grantee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including but not limited to the United States and the Grantee’s country of residence, which may affect the Grantee’s ability to directly or indirectly, for the Grantee or for a third party, acquire or sell, or attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to acquire Shares (e.g., the Relative Value Award) under the Plan during such times as the Grantee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as determined under the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdictions).

The Grantee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Grantee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.
c.Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Award and any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to execute any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
