NEWELL RUBBERMAID INC. 2013 INCENTIVE PLAN 
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
CHRO Onboarding Grant Agreement
A Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) Award (the “Award”) granted by Newell Brands Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the employee named in the attached Award letter (the “Grantee”) relating to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and the provisions of the Newell Rubbermaid Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference.  
1.Acceptance by Grantee.  The receipt of the Award is conditioned upon its acceptance by the Grantee in the space provided therefor at the end of the attached Award letter and the return of an executed copy of such Award letter to the Secretary of the Company no later than 60 days after the Award Date set forth therein or, if later, 30 days after the Grantee receives this agreement (the “Agreement”).
2.    Grant of RSUs.  The Company hereby grants to the Grantee the Award of RSUs, as set forth in the Award letter.  This Award is comprised of the number of “Performance-Based RSUs” set forth in the Award letter.  An “RSU” is a restricted stock unit representing the right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, to receive a distribution of a share of Common Stock for each RSU as described in Section 6 of this Agreement.
3.    RSU Account.  The Company shall maintain an account (“RSU Account”) on its books in the name of the Grantee which shall reflect the number of RSUs awarded to the Grantee.
4.    Dividend Equivalents.  
Upon the payment of any dividend on Common Stock occurring during the period preceding the earlier of the date of settlement of the Grantee’s Award as described in Section 6 or the date the Grantee’s Award is forfeited as described in Section 5, the Company shall credit the Grantee’s RSU Account with an amount equal in value to the dividends that the Grantee would have received had the Grantee been the actual owner of the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Performance-Based RSUs in the Grantee’s RSU Account on that date.  Such amounts shall be paid to the Grantee in cash at the time and to the extent the related Performance-Based RSUs vest and are settled.  Any such dividend equivalents credited to the Grantee’s RSU Account, relating to Performance-Based RSUs that are forfeited, shall also be forfeited.
5.    Vesting.
(a)    Except as described in Sections 5(b), the Grantee shall become vested in her Award of Performance-Based RSUs ratably in one-third increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Award Date if she remains in continuous employment with the Company or an affiliate, and the following Performance Goal is satisfied:
		
	•
	Company’s achievement of at least $100 million of aggregate cost/expense reductions resulting from Project Renewal and the integration of Jarden Corporation operations and personnel into the Company during the period commencing April 15, 2016 and concluding April 30, 2017.     

For avoidance of doubt, any portion of the Award for which the Performance Goal is not met shall be forfeited to the Company.

1

(b)    If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates terminates prior to the applicable vesting date due to death or disability, the unvested portion of the Awards shall become vested on such date.  For this purpose “disability” means (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) the inability of the Grantee to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which is expected to result in death or disability or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
(c)    If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates terminates prior to satisfying the applicable vesting conditions set forth in the applicable table in Section 5(a) above for any reason other than death or disability, the unvested portion of each Award shall be forfeited to the Company.
(d)    The provisions of Section 12.1(b) of the Plan shall apply to the Grantee’s Award of Performance-Based RSUs in the event of a Change in Control, and Plan Section 12.1(a) shall be inapplicable to such Award of Performance-Based RSUs.  For the avoidance of doubt, Performance-Based RSUs following a Change in Control shall be treated in the same manner as Time-Based RSUs following a Change in Control (e.g., the value of an unvested Performance-Based RSU shall equal the value of an unvested Time-Based RSU, and any unvested Performance-Based RSU shall either be replaced by a time-based equity award or become immediately vested).
The foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall be subject to the provisions of any written employment security agreement or severance agreement that has been or may be executed by the Grantee and the Company, and the provisions in such employment security agreement or severance agreement concerning vesting of an Award shall supersede any inconsistent or contrary provision of this Section 5.  
6.    Settlement of Award.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 12 hereof, if the Grantee becomes vested in her Awards, or any portion thereof, in accordance with Section 5, the Company shall distribute to her, or her personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs subject to the Award then becoming vested.  Such shares shall be delivered within 30 days following the date of vesting.
7.    Withholding Taxes.  The Company shall withhold from any distribution made to the Grantee in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy all minimum Federal, state and local withholding tax requirements.  In the case of a distribution made in shares of Common Stock, the Grantee shall pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all minimum Federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any shares.  Payment of such taxes may be made at the Grantee’s election by one or more of the following methods:  (i) in cash, (ii) in cash received from a broker-dealer to whom the Grantee has submitted irrevocable instructions to deliver the amount of withholding tax to the Company from the proceeds of the sale of shares subject to the Award, (iii) by directing the Company to withhold a number of shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the tax required to be withheld, (iv) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock owned by the Grantee that is acceptable to the Company, valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of payment, or (v) by certifying to ownership by attestation of such previously owned Common Stock.
8.    Rights as Stockholder.  The Grantee shall not be entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Award, including the right to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions, until and to the extent the Award is settled in shares of Common Stock.
9.    Share Delivery.  Delivery of any shares in connection with settlement of the Award will be by book-entry credit to an account in the Grantee’s name established by the Company with the Company’s 

2

transfer agent, or upon written request from the Grantee (or her personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as the case may be), in certificates in the name of the Grantee (or her personal representative, beneficiary or estate).  
10.    Award Not Transferable.  The Award may not be transferred other than by will or the applicable laws of descent or distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.  The Award shall not otherwise be assigned, transferred, or pledged for any purpose whatsoever and is not subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution or levy of any kind.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or encumbrance of the Award, other than in accordance with its terms, shall be void and of no effect.
11.    Administration.  The Award shall be administered in accordance with such regulations as the Organizational Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) shall from time to time adopt.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of such regulations and this Award Agreement, the terms of this Award Agreement shall control.
12.    Section 409A Compliance.  To the extent that the Grantee's right to receive payment of the RSUs and dividend equivalents constitutes a "deferral of compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the timing of payment (but not the vesting and nonforfeitability) of shares of Common Stock and cash otherwise deliverable hereunder shall be subject to the following rules:  
(a)    The shares of Common Stock underlying the vested Performance-Based RSUs and the related dividend equivalents shall be delivered to the Grantee, or her personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as applicable, within 30 days following the earlier of (i) the Grantee’s death; (ii) the Grantee’s disability (as defined under Section 409A of the Code); (iii) the Grantee’s "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, subject to Section 12(b); or (iv) the occurrence of a Change in Control that also constitutes a “change in the ownership,” a “change in the effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company with the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; or (iv) the third anniversary of the Award Date.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 12(a), if any RSUs and related dividend equivalents become payable as a result of the Grantee's termination of employment (other than as a result of death) which constitutes a separation from service and the Grantee is a "specified employee," as determined under the Company's policy for determining specified employees on the date of such separation from service, then the shares of Common Stock underlying the vested RSUs and related dividends shall be delivered to the Grantee, or her personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as applicable, within 30 days after the first business day that is more than six months after the date of his or her separation from service (or, if the Grantee dies during such six-month period, within 30 days after the Grantee's death).
(c)    In the event that any taxes described in Section 7 of this Agreement are due prior to the distribution of shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, then the Grantee shall be required to satisfy the tax obligation by using any method set forth in Section 7.
13.    Data Privacy Consent.  The Grantee hereby consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in this document by the Company and its subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that the Company and its subsidiaries hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares

of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock or stock units awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Grantee understands that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Grantee’s country or elsewhere and that the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country. The Grantee understands that he may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the local human resources representative. The Grantee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Grantee may elect to deposit any shares or other award acquired under the Plan. The Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that he may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative in writing. The Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusing to consent or withdrawing consent, the Grantee understands that he may contact his or her local human resources representative.
14.    Electronic Delivery.  The Grantee hereby consents and agrees to electronic delivery of any documents that the Company may elect to deliver (including, but not limited to, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant or award notifications and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports, and all other forms of communications) in connection with this and any other award made or offered under the Plan. The Grantee understands that, unless earlier revoked by the Grantee by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company, this consent shall be effective for the duration of the Agreement.  The Grantee also understands that she shall have the right at any time to request that the Company deliver written copies of any and all materials referred to above at no charge. The Grantee hereby consents to any and all procedures the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of any such documents that the Company may elect to deliver, and agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature. The Grantee consents and agrees that any such procedures and delivery may be effected by a third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative services related to the Plan.  
15.    Governing Law.  This Agreement, and the Award, shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects under and by the laws of the State of Delaware.

In light of the value and expertise you bring to this role, we have also agreed the following:

Onboarding Bonus. You will receive a one-time lump sum start bonus of $750,000, less applicable and necessary taxes and deductions, payable within thirty days of the Employment Commencement Date. By accepting this offer you are also acknowledging that should you voluntarily terminate your employment with Newell within one year (12 months) of your ECD, you will pay back 100 percent of this start bonus and, where permitted by applicable law, by your signature below, you authorize us to withhold this money from your final paycheck or any other amounts due to you if necessary.

Integration Equity Grant. On the ECD, you will be provided with an award of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) valued at $3,750,000 (the “Integration Grant”) based on the Company’s stock price immediately prior to the date of approval by the Committee. One-third of these RSUs will vest on each year anniversary of the grant date, subject to the Company’s achievement of at least $100 million of total cost and expense reductions resulting from Project Renewal and from the integration of Jarden Corporation (“Jarden”) operations and personnel during the performance period beginning April 15, 2016 and ending April 30, 2017.  Following the ECD, you will receive notification from Fidelity to accept your grant on their website. The RSU Award Agreement you accept on the Fidelity website thereafter governs the terms of this Integration Grant.

Termination Without Cause. If your employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than Good Cause (defined below), you shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits:
		
	•
	Severance pay in a total amount calculated pursuant the US Newell Severance Plan, in effect on the date of your termination, that applies to executives at your level (“Severance Plan”), presently providing 52 weeks of weekly base compensation thereunder, subject to applicable limitation as to amount under the Severance Plan, which severance will be payable in a lump sum no later than 60 days after your termination date (provided that if such 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payment shall be made in the second calendar year). This severance offer also includes any other benefits in the Severance Plan that run concurrently with severance pay under the Severance Plan, which may include a COBRA subsidy and outplacement services. 

		
	•
	Your Management Bonus prorated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year in which your date of termination occurs through your date of termination and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365).  This partial bonus payment will not be subject to any individual performance modifier, but will be paid out on the basis of actual corporate performance levels; provided that the Committee may exercise negative discretion to reduce the amount payable to a target payout level where the payout based upon achievement of actual performance levels exceeds the target payout.  This partial bonus will be paid at the same time as Management Bonuses are paid to active Company employees, no later than March 15th of the following year.

		
	•
	All unvested stock options and LEAP awards shall forfeit except for a pro rata portion of those LEAP awards and stock options which would have otherwise vested during the 3-year period after your termination date. The portion of your unvested LEAP and option awards which shall be permitted to vest as if you remained employed during that 3-year period shall be calculated on a pro rata basis for each individual award to reflect the number of days between the grant date and your termination date relative to the total number of days constituting the vesting period of such award.

		
	•
	Any unvested portion of the Integration Grant which would have otherwise vested during the 3-year period after your termination date shall thereafter vest and become payable at such time, if any, as 

any performance goals applicable to the Integration Grant have been satisfied (without regard to any time-based vesting requirements, which requirements will cease to apply). 
		
	•
	“Good Cause” is defined as failure or refusal to follow a lawful order of the Board of Directors, Newell’s senior management or your direct supervisor; misconduct; and/or violating Newell policy or its Code of Conduct & Ethics.

		
	•
	You will be required to sign a reasonable separation agreement (including confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition obligations) and release of claims provided to you by Newell in order for you to receive the foregoing severance items. 

		
	•
	These severance provisions are in lieu of any payments or benefits under any US or other severance pay plan, statute or regulation. 

		
	•
	Notwithstanding anything else set forth herein to the contrary, in the event you are actually entitled to receive benefits following a termination of your employment under your Employment Security Agreement as a result of the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined therein) prior to your termination, you will not be entitled to receive severance benefits pursuant to this offer letter, and your severance benefits will be governed exclusively by the terms of your Employment Security Agreement, unless you elect to receive severance benefits under the terms of this letter and waive any benefits to which you are entitled under the Employment Security Agreement.

Termination Due to Death or Disability.  In addition, should your employment terminate as a result of your death or Disability prior to the vesting of your Integration Grant, any portion of the Integration Grant which would have otherwise vested during the 3-year period after your termination date shall become vested on such date.  “Disability” means (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) the inability of the Grantee to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which is expected to result in death or disability or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

Please note:

You will be solely responsible for any associated tax filings and payment of taxes associated with your employment, without any gross-up or additional compensation from the Company, provided that the Company will withhold taxes at what it determines to be appropriate rates and in what it determines to be appropriate jurisdictions based on the information available to the Company.

This offer of employment is also contingent upon successful completion of a background check and drug screening prior to employment and upon you executing various Company documents, including a confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement and agreeing to abide by the Company's Code of Conduct and Ethics.  You will receive a testing kit from Omega Labs with instructions on how to complete your pre-employment drug screening. It is important that you schedule and complete your screening promptly so that your start date will not be impacted.
Payments and benefits provided under this letter are intended to be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which is the law that regulates severance pay. This offer letter shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner that affects such intent, and Newell shall not take any action that would be inconsistent with such intent. Without limiting the foregoing, the payments and benefits provided under this letter may not be deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified in a manner that would result in a the imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A.  Although Newell shall use its best efforts to avoid the imposition of taxation, interest and penalties under Code Section 409A, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under this letter is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company nor its affiliates nor its or their directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by you or any other taxpayer as a result of this letter.

Fiona, we are confident your skills and experience will be a tremendous benefit to Newell Brands. We are very excited about the potential to have your experience in the organization and sincerely hope you decide to join our team. This is a significant career opportunity, and we are certain you can and will make a difference.
 
Sincerely,
