TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASED RESTRICTED STOCK




     The following Terms and Conditions apply to the Restricted Stock granted to Employee by
INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS & FRAGRANCES INC. (the “Company”), as specified in the Purchased Restricted
Stock Agreement (of which these Terms and Conditions form a part). Certain terms of the Restricted
Stock, including the number of Shares granted, Purchase Price per Share and vesting date, are set
forth on the preceding pages.



     1. General. The Restricted Stock is granted to Employee under the Company’s 2000 Stock Award
and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which is available for review, along with other
documents constituting the “prospectus” for the Plan, on the Company’s intranet site at One
IFF/Corporate/Law Department. All of the applicable terms, conditions and other provisions of the
Plan are incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not
defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan. If there is any conflict between the
provisions of this document and mandatory provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan
govern. By accepting the grant of the Restricted Stock, Employee agrees to be bound by all of the
terms and provisions of the Plan (as presently in effect or later amended), the rules and
regulations under the Plan adopted from time to time, and the decisions and determinations of the
Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) made from time to time, provided that no such
Plan amendment, rule or regulation or Committee decision or determination shall materially and
adversely affect the rights of the Employee with respect to outstanding Restricted Stock without
the consent of Employee.



     2. Nontransferability. Until such time as the Restricted Stock has become vested in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Employee may not transfer Restricted Stock or any
rights hereunder to any third party other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
This restriction on transfer precludes any sale, assignment, pledge, or other encumbrance or
disposition of the shares of Restricted Stock (except for forfeitures to the Company).



     3. Termination Provisions. The following provisions will govern the vesting and forfeiture of
the Restricted Stock in the event of Employee’s Termination of Employment (as defined below),
provided that the Committee retains its powers to accelerate vesting or modify these terms subject
to the consent of Employee in the case of a modification materially adverse to Employee:



     (a) Voluntary Resignation and Termination by the Company for Cause. In the event of
Employee’s Termination of Employment due to his or her voluntarily resignation (other than a Normal
or Early Retirement governed by clause (b) or (c) below) or Termination of Employment by the
Company for Cause (as defined below), all unvested Restricted Stock will be immediately forfeited.



     (b) Disability or Normal Retirement. In the event of Employee’s Termination of Employment due
to Disability (as defined below) or Normal Retirement (as defined below), Employee’s unvested
Restricted Stock will not be forfeited, but will remain outstanding and will become vested at the
applicable date under this Agreement as though Employee had not had such a Termination of
Employment; provided that Employee shall forfeit the unvested Restricted Stock if during the period
following Termination of Employment up to the date of vesting Employee engages in activity that
results in a Forfeiture Event set forth in Section 10 of the Plan. Employee acknowledges that the
Committee has relied on the discretion granted to it under Section 10(d) of the Plan in requiring
forfeiture upon occurrence of a Forfeiture Event during the applicable post-Termination period.



     (c) Termination by the Company Not for Cause or Early Retirement. In the event of Employee’s
Termination of Employment by the Company not for Cause or Employee’s Early Retirement, the
following rules apply:




	 	•	 	A pro rata portion of Employee’s then unvested Restricted Stock will not be
forfeited, but will remain outstanding and will become vested at the applicable
date under this Agreement as though Employee had not had such a Termination of
Employment. This pro rata portion will be determined by multiplying the number of
unvested Shares of Restricted Stock by a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of days from the Grant Date to the date of Employee’s Termination of
Employment and the denominator of which is 1,095; provided that Employee shall
forfeit the unvested Restricted Stock if during the period following Termination of
Employment up to the date of vesting Employee engages in activity that results in a
Forfeiture Event set forth in Section 10 of the Plan.

	 	 	 	Employee
acknowledges that the Committee has relied on the discretion granted to it under
Section 10(d) of the Plan in requiring forfeiture upon occurrence of a Forfeiture
Event during the applicable post-Termination period.
	 
	 	•	 	Employee’s Shares of Restricted Stock that had not become vested before such
Termination of Employment and which are not included in the pro rata portion
subject to continued vesting will be immediately forfeited.





     (d) Death. In the event of Employee’s Termination of Employment due to death or the death of
Employee following Termination but prior to vesting of Restricted Stock not otherwise forfeited
hereunder, Employee’s unvested Restricted Stock will not be forfeited but will become immediately
vested.



     (e) Certain Definitions. The following definitions apply for purposes of this Agreement:




     (i) “Cause” has the meaning as defined in the Company’s Executive Separation Policy or
any successor policy thereto, as in effect at the time of Employee’s Termination of
Employment.




     (ii) “Disability” means a disability entitling Employee to long-term disability
benefits under the Company’s long-term disability policy as in effect at the date of
Employee’s termination of employment, upon written evidence of such permanent disability
from a medical doctor in a form satisfactory to the Company.




     (iii) “Early Retirement” means Termination of Employment by either the Company or
Employee after Employee has attained age 55 and before he or she has attained age 62 if at
the time of Termination Employee has ten or more years in the employ of the Company and/or
its subsidiaries.




     (iv) “Normal Retirement” means Termination of Employment by either the Company or
Employee after Employee has attained age 62.




     (v) “Termination of Employment” means the event by which Employee ceases to be employed
by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and, immediately thereafter, is not employed
by or providing substantial services to any of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.
If Employee is granted a leave of absence for military or governmental service or other
purposes approved by the Board, he or she shall be considered as continuing in the employ of
the Company, or of a subsidiary of the Company, for the purpose of this subsection, while on
such authorized leave of absence.



4. Dividends and Distributions and Adjustments.




     (a) Dividends and Distributions. Employee shall be entitled to receive with respect to the
Restricted Stock all dividends and distributions payable on Common Stock (including for this
purpose any forward stock split) if and to the extent that he is the record owner of such
Restricted Stock on any record date for such a dividend or distribution and he has not forfeited
such Restricted Stock on or before the payment date for such dividend or distribution, subject to
the following terms and conditions (except as provided in Section 4(b) below):




	 	(i)	 	In the event of a cash dividend or cash distribution on Common Stock other than
an extraordinary dividend or distribution with a per-Share value at the payment date
exceeding 8% of the then Fair Market Value of a Share, such dividend or distribution
shall be paid in cash to Employee and shall be non-forfeitable;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	In the event of any non-cash dividend or distribution in the form of property
other than Common Stock payable on Common Stock, such as shares of a subsidiary of the
Company distributed in a spin-off, the Company shall retain in its custody the property
so distributed in respect of Employee’s Restricted Stock, which property thereafter
will become vested if and to the same extent as the original Restricted Stock with
respect to which the property was distributed becomes vested and, to the greatest
extent practicable, shall be subject to all other terms and conditions as applied to
the original




3









 






	 	 	 	Restricted Stock, including in the event of any dividends or distributions paid in respect of
such property or with respect to the placement of any legend on certificate(s) or
documents representing such property; provided, however, that any dividend or
distribution of rights that expire before the applicable vesting date will be
unrestricted and exercisable by Employee in accordance with their terms;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	In the event of a dividend or distribution in the form of Common Stock or
split-up of shares, the Common Stock issued or delivered as such dividend or
distribution or resulting from such split-up will be deemed to be additional Restricted
Stock and will become vested if and to the same extent as the original Restricted Stock
with respect to which the dividend or distribution was payable becomes vested, and
shall be subject to all other terms and conditions as applied to the original
Restricted Stock; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	In the event of an extraordinary cash dividend or distribution not payable
under clause (i) above, the amount of such cash shall be deemed reinvested in
additional Restricted Stock at the Fair Market Value of Shares on the payment date,
and the resulting Restricted Stock will become vested if and to the same extent as the
original Restricted Stock with respect to which the dividend or distribution was
payable becomes vested, and shall be subject to all other terms and conditions as
applied to the original Restricted Stock.





     (b) Adjustments. The number and kind of shares of Restricted Stock and other terms and
conditions of Restricted Stock or otherwise contained in this Agreement, including the Purchase
Price per Share (for purposes of Section 6), shall be appropriately adjusted, in order to prevent
dilution or enlargement of Employee’s rights hereunder, to reflect any changes in the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from any event referred to in Section 11(c) of the
Plan, taking into account any Restricted Stock or other amounts paid or credited to Employee in
connection with such event under Section 4(a) hereof, in the sole discretion of the Committee. In
addition, the Committee may vary the treatment of any dividend or distribution as specified under
Section 4(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv), in its discretion. The Committee may determine how to treat or
settle any fractional share resulting under this Agreement.



     5. Change in Control Provisions. The provisions of Section 9(a) of the Plan shall apply to
the Restricted Stock, such that vesting of Restricted Stock shall accelerate upon a Change in
Control.



     6. Refund of Purchase Price Upon Forfeiture. In the event of Employee’s forfeiture of
Restricted Stock under Section 3, the Company will repay to Employee, for each Share of Restricted
Stock forfeited, as follows:




	 	(i)	 	If Employee originally paid the Purchase Price of the Share granted in cash,
the Company will pay Employee in cash the lesser of the Purchase Price per Share
(subject to any adjustment under Section 4(b)) or 100% of the Fair Market Value of a
Share at the date of forfeiture; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If Employee originally paid the Purchase Price of the Share granted by the
tender and delivery of previously acquired shares, the Company will deliver to
Employee one-half Share; provided, however, that, if so determined by the Committee at
any time prior to payment of such refund, if the Fair Market Value of one-half Share
at the date of forfeiture exceeds the original Purchase Price per Share (subject to
any adjustment under Section 4(b)) of the forfeited Share, the Company will instead
deliver to Employee the fraction of a Share (less than one-half) having a Fair Market
Value at the date of forfeiture equal to such Purchase Price per Share. In all cases,
cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional Share remaining after the full applicable
refund for all forfeited Restricted Stock has been paid by delivery of whole Shares.




In the case of any forfeiture under Section 7, a refund will be paid calculated as the greater of
the amount determined under this Section 6 or the amount, if any, payable under Sections 10 and
11(i) of the Plan. Any refund shall be paid within 45 days after the forfeiture date.

     7. Additional Forfeiture Provisions. Employee agrees that, by signing this Agreement
and accepting the grant of the Restricted Stock, the forfeiture conditions set forth in Section 10
of the Plan shall
apply to the Restricted Stock and to gains realized upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock.



     8. Other Terms of Restricted Stock.



     (a) Voting and Other Shareholder Rights. Employee shall be entitled to vote Restricted Stock
on any matter submitted to a vote of holders of Common Stock, and shall have all other rights of a
shareholder of the Company except as expressly limited by this Agreement.



     (b) Employee Representations and Warranties Upon Vesting. As a condition to the vesting of
Restricted Stock, the Company may require Employee to make any representation or warranty to the
Company as may be required under any applicable law or regulation, and to make a representation and
warranty that no Forfeiture Event has occurred or is contemplated within the meaning of Section 10
of the Plan.



     (c) Certificates/DRS. Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by issuance of one or more
certificates or in certificate-less form under the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) established
by the Company, in the name of Employee, bearing an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions applicable hereunder, and shall remain in the physical custody of the
General Counsel of the Company or his designee until such time as such Shares of Restricted Stock
have been vested and the restrictions hereunder have therefore lapsed. In addition, Restricted
Stock shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictive measures as the General
Counsel of the Company shall deem advisable under federal or state securities laws, rules and
regulations thereunder, and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or to implement the terms,
conditions and restrictions hereunder, and the General Counsel may cause a legend or legends to be
placed on any such certificates or DRS accounts to make appropriate reference to the terms,
conditions and restrictions hereunder.



     (d) Stock Powers. Employee agrees to execute and deliver to the Company one or more stock
powers, in such form as may be specified by the General Counsel, authorizing the transfer of the
Restricted Stock to the Company, upon the request of the Company.



     (e) Mandatory Tax Withholding. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, at the time of
settlement the Company will withhold from any Shares deliverable to Employee, in accordance with
Section 11(d) of the Plan, the number of shares having a value nearest to, but not exceeding, the
amount of income taxes, employment taxes or other withholding amounts required to be withheld under
applicable local laws and regulations, and pay the amount of such withholding taxes in cash to the
appropriate taxing authorities. Employee will be responsible for any taxes relating to the
Restricted Stock not satisfied by means of such mandatory withholding.



     (f) Employee Consent. By signing this Agreement, Employee voluntarily acknowledges and
consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in this
Section 8(f). Employee is not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer
of personal data; however, failure to provide the consent may affect Employee’s ability to
participate in the Plan. The Company and its subsidiaries hold, for the purpose of managing and
administering the Plan, certain personal information about Employee, including Employee’s name,
home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee
identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in
the Company, and details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded,
canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in Employee’s favor (“Data”). The Company
and/or its subsidiaries will transfer Data among themselves as necessary for the purpose of
implementation, administration and management of Employee’s participation in the Plan and the
Company and/or any of its subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to any third parties
assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These
recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as
the United States. Employee authorizes them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the
Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing
Employee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares on Employee’s
behalf to a broker or other third party with whom Employee may elect to deposit any shares acquired
pursuant to the Plan. Employee may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to
it or withdraw the



5









 







consents herein in writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing
consent may affect Employee’s ability to participate in the
Plan.



     (g) Voluntary Participation. Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of
the Restricted Stock is an extraordinary item of compensation. As such, the Restricted Stock is
not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation,
redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits
or similar payments. Rather, the awarding of Restricted Stock to Employee under the Plan
represents a mere investment opportunity.



     (h) Consent to Electronic Delivery. EMPLOYEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE
PLAN, THE PROSPECTUS FOR THE PLAN AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE PLAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PLAN
DOCUMENTS”). THE COMPANY WILL DELIVER THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY TO EMPLOYEE BY E-MAIL, BY
POSTING SUCH DOCUMENTS ON ITS INTRANET WEBSITE OR BY ANOTHER MODE OF ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AS
DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. THE COMPANY WILL SEND TO EMPLOYEE AN E-MAIL
ANNOUNCEMENT WHEN A NEW PLAN DOCUMENT IS AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY FOR EMPLOYEE’S REVIEW, DOWNLOAD
OR PRINTING AND WILL PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE THE PLAN DOCUMENT CAN BE FOUND. UNLESS
OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING BY THE COMPANY, EMPLOYEE WILL NOT INCUR ANY COSTS FOR RECEIVING THE
PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE COMPANY’S COMPUTER NETWORK. EMPLOYEE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT
TO RECEIVE PAPER COPIES OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENT BY SENDING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR A PAPER COPY TO THE
ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 9(e) HEREOF. EMPLOYEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN
DOCUMENTS WILL BE VALID AND REMAIN EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE EARLIER OF (I) THE TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE’S
PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN AND (II) THE WITHDRAWAL OF EMPLOYEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF
THE PLAN DOCUMENTS. THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EMPLOYEE HAS THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME
TO WITHDRAW HIS OR HER CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS BY SENDING A WRITTEN
NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL TO THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 9(e) HEREOF. IF EMPLOYEE WITHDRAWS HIS OR
HER CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY, THE COMPANY WILL RESUME SENDING PAPER COPIES OF THE PLAN
DOCUMENTS WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT OF THE WITHDRAWAL NOTICE. EMPLOYEE
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE OR SHE IS ABLE TO ACCESS, VIEW AND RETAIN AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT INFORMING
EMPLOYEE THAT THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN EITHER HTML, PDF OR SUCH OTHER FORMAT AS THE
COMPANY DETERMINES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.



     9. Miscellaneous.



     (a) Binding Agreement; Written Amendments. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs,
executors, administrators and successors of the parties. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the Restricted Stock, and supersedes any prior
agreements or documents with respect thereto. No amendment or alteration of this Agreement which
may impose any additional obligation upon the Company shall be valid unless expressed in a written
instrument duly executed in the name of the Company, and no amendment, alteration, suspension or
termination of this Agreement which may materially impair the rights of Employee with respect to
the Restricted Stock shall be valid unless expressed in a written instrument executed by Employee.



     (b) No Promise of Employment. The Restricted Stock and the granting thereof shall not
constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that Employee has
a right to continue as an officer or employee of the Company for any period of time, or at any
particular rate of compensation. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is discretionary
in nature and limited in duration, and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in
its sole discretion, at any time, provided, however that any outstanding Restricted Stock shall not
be materially and adversely affected. The grant of Restricted Stock under the Plan is a one-time
benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of restricted stock
or other equity awards or benefits in lieu of equity awards in the future. Future grants, if any,
will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the timing of any
grant, the number of Shares and vesting provisions.

     (d) Governing Law. THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND EFFECT OF THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (INCLUDING THOSE GOVERNING
CONTRACTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, AND
APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW. The Restricted Stock and the granting thereof are subject to the
Employee’s compliance with the applicable law of the jurisdiction of Employee’s employment.



     (e) Notices. Any notice to be given the Company under this Agreement shall be addressed to
the Company at 521 West 57th Street, New York, NY 10019, attention: Corporate Secretary,
and any notice to the Employee shall be addressed to the Employee at Employee’s address as then
appearing in the records of the Company.
