2006 INCENTIVE PLAN

2010 PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (ROIC) GRANTED TO

VTA on VTB

A. Schulman, Inc. (“Company”) believes that its business interests are best served by extending to
you an opportunity to earn additional compensation based on the growth of the Company’s business.
To this end, the Company adopted, and its stockholders approved, the A. Schulman, Inc. Amended and
Restated 2006 Incentive Plan (“Plan”) as a means through which employees like you may share in the
Company’s success. Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in
the Plan.

This Award Agreement describes many features of your Award and the terms and conditions of your
Award. To ensure you fully understand these terms and conditions, you should:

	 	•	 	Read the Plan carefully to ensure you understand how the Plan works;

	 	•	 	Read this Award Agreement carefully to ensure you understand the nature of your Award
and what you must do to earn it; and

	 	•	 	Contact Vtc at Vtd if you have any questions about your Award.

Also, no later than Vte, you must return a signed copy of the Award Agreement to:

	1.	 	Nature of Your Award. The terms and conditions affecting your Award are described in this
Award Agreement and the Plan, both of which you should read carefully. If the terms and
conditions are satisfied, your Performance Shares will be settled and you will receive the
Shares underlying such Performance Shares. For purposes of this Award Agreement, each
Performance Share represents the right to receive one full Share.

	 	a.	 	Grant Date: Vtb.

	 	b.	 	Number of Performance Shares: You have been granted Vtf Performance Shares (the “Total
Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.

 

1

 

	2.	 	When Your Award Will Vest. Your Performance Shares will be settled or will be forfeited
depending on whether or not the terms and conditions described in this Award Agreement and in
the Plan are satisfied.

	 	a.	 	Normal Vesting Date. Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, your
Performance Shares normally will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the
“Normal Vesting Date”) and the number of Shares underlying your Performance Shares that
actually vest may be between 0% and 100% of the number of your Total Shares.

	 	(i)	 	Performance Objectives. Performance Shares will vest only to the extent that
the Company’s Average ROIC (as defined below) is positive during the Performance
Period. No Performance Shares will vest if the Company’s Average ROIC is negative
during the Performance Period. The number of Performance Shares that vest on the
Normal Vesting Date will equal the number of Total Shares set forth in Section 1(b),
multiplied by the applicable percentage as set forth in the tables below, based on the
relative performance of the Company’s Average ROIC as compared to the Peer Group
Companies’ ROIC used for the Performance Period.

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Average ROIC Percentile Ranking Relative to the Company’s Peer
	 	 	Group Companies’ ROIC
	 	 	≤ Peers’ 25%	 	Equal to Peers’ 50%	 	≥ Peer’s 75%
	ROIC	 	Percentile	 	Percentile	 	Percentile
	Negative
	 	0% vested
	 	0% vested
	 	0% vested
	Positive
	 	0% vested
	 	50% vested
	 	100% vested

If the Company’s ROIC is between two percentages, the number of Total Shares that vest
will be interpolated by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Performance
Shares that do not vest as of the Normal Vesting Date shall be forfeited.

	 	(ii)	 	Committee Certification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the
Company intends the Performance Shares to constitute “performance-based compensation”
for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, no
Performance Shares shall vest until the Committee (as defined in the Plan) shall have
certified the extent to which the performance objectives described in Section 2(a)(i)
have been satisfied during the relevant Performance Period.

	 	(iii)	 	Definitions. As used in this Award Agreement:

	 	(A)	 	“Average ROIC” is equal to the sum of the Company’s ROIC for
each 12 consecutive calendar month period during the Performance Period,
divided by three.

 

2

 

	 	(B)	 	“Performance Period” is the 36 consecutive calendar month
period beginning on the November 30 closest to the Grant Date.

	 	(C)	 	The Company shall determine its “ROIC” for the four fiscal
quarters beginning each December 1 and ending November 30 during the
Performance Period, by dividing EBIT for such period by Average Invested
Capital for such period.

	 	(D)	 	The Company’s “EBIT” for any relevant period is the Company’s
earnings before interest and taxes based on the Company’s unaudited financial
statements.

	 	(E)	 	The Company’s “Average Invested Capital” for any relevant
period is the sum of the Company’s beginning equity, short-term and long-term
debt for such period plus the Company’s ending equity, short-term and long-term
debt for such period, divided by two.

	 	(F)	 	“Peer Group Companies” means the peer group companies in the
S&P Specialty Chemicals Index.

	 	(G)	 	The Company shall determine the “Peer Group Companies’ ROIC” in
the same manner as it determine its ROIC; provided, however, that EBIT and
Average Invested Capital shall be determined using information reported for
each four fiscal quarter period ending each September 30 (for Peer Group
Companies whose fiscal year is the calendar year) and the quarter-ending date
closest to August 31 (for Peer Group Companies whose fiscal year is other than
the calendar year).

	 	b.	 	Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your Award will immediately vest if
there is a Change in Control.

	3.	 	How Your Termination of Employment Will Affect Your Award: You may forfeit your Award if
you Terminate before the Normal Vesting Date, although this will depend on why you Terminate.

	 	a.	 	Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. If you Terminate because of (i)
death, (ii) Disability or (iii) after qualifying for Retirement, if the Committee agrees to
treat your Termination as a Retirement, a prorated number of your Performance Shares will
vest, but only if the performance criteria described in Section 2(a) are satisfied at the
Normal Vesting Date, equal to the product of:

	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Number of
Shares
that would
have been
due to you
if you had
not
Terminated
before the
Normal
Vesting
Date

	 	x

	 	the number of whole months between

the Grant Date and your Termination date	 
	 	 	36	 

 

3

 

If the performance criteria set forth in Section 2(a) are not satisfied at the Normal
Vesting Date, all of your Performance Shares will be forfeited.

	 	b.	 	Termination for Any Reason Other Than Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. If you
Terminate for any reason other than specified in Section 3(a), all of the Performance Share
will be forfeited.

	4.	 	Settling Your Award. If all applicable terms and conditions have been met, you will receive
the Shares underlying your vested Performance Shares as soon as administratively feasible, but
no later than 60 days, after the later of: (i) the Normal Vesting Date; or (ii) the date on
which the Committee certifies the satisfaction of the performance objectives (if applicable)
pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii).

	5.	 	Other Rules Affecting Your Award

	 	a.	 	Rights During the Performance Period:

	 	(i)	 	During the Performance Period, you will have no voting rights with respect to
the Shares underlying the Performance Shares and, except as provided in subsection (ii)
below, you will have no dividend rights with respect to the Shares underlying the
Performance Shares.

	 	(ii)	 	You shall be entitled to receive any cash dividends that are declared and paid
during the Performance Period with respect to Shares underlying one-half of the number
of Total Shares set forth in Section 1(b) (the “Target Shares”), subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. If a cash dividend is declared
and paid during the Performance Period on the Shares underlying the Target Shares, you
will be deemed to have been credited with a cash amount equal to the product of (A) the
number of Target Shares that have not been settled or forfeited as of the dividend
payment date, multiplied by (B) the amount of the cash dividend paid per Share. Such
amount shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Target Shares
and shall vest and be settled in cash if, when and to the extent the related Target
Shares vest and are settled. In the event a Target Share is forfeited under this Award
Agreement, the related dividends will also be forfeited.

	 	b.	 	Beneficiary Designation: You may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any
portion of your Award and any other right under the Plan that is unsettled at your death.
To do so, you must complete a beneficiary designation form by contacting Vtc at Vtd or the
address below. If you previously completed a valid beneficiary designation form, such form
shall apply to the Award until changed or revoked. If you die without completing a
beneficiary designation form or if you do not complete that form correctly, your beneficiary will be your surviving spouse or, if you do not have a surviving spouse,
your estate.

 

4

 

	 	c.	 	Tax Withholding: Applicable withholding taxes must be withheld with respect to your
Award. These taxes may be paid in one (or a combination) of several ways. They are: (i) by
the Company withholding this amount from other amounts owed to you (e.g., from your
salary); (ii) by the Company withholding all or a portion of any cash amount owed to you
with respect to dividends credited with respect to the Shares that are to be distributed to
you; (iii) by giving the Company a check (payable to “A. Schulman, Inc.”) in an amount
equal to the taxes that must be withheld; or (iv) by having the Company withhold a portion
of the Shares that otherwise would be distributed to you. The number of Shares withheld
will have a fair market value equal to the taxes that must be withheld.

	 	 	 	You must choose the approach you prefer before the Shares are transferred to you, although
the Company may reject your preferred method for any reason (or for no reason). If this
happens, the Company will specify (from among the alternatives just listed) how these taxes
are to be paid.

	 	 	 	If you do not choose a method within 30 days of the Normal Vesting Date, the Company will
withhold either through payroll practices or a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be
distributed to you. The number of Shares withheld will have a fair market value equal to
the taxes that must be withheld and the balance of the Shares will be distributed to you.

	 	d.	 	Transferring Your Award: Normally, your Award may not be transferred to another person.
However, as described above, you may complete a beneficiary designation form to name the
person to receive any portion of your Award that is settled after you die. Also, the
Committee may allow you to transfer your Performance Shares to certain Permissible
Transferees, including a trust established for your benefit or the benefit of your family.
Contact Vtc at the address or number given below if you are interested in doing this.

	 	e.	 	Governing Law: This Award Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws (other than laws governing conflicts of laws) of the State of Ohio, except to
the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law is mandatorily applicable.

	 	f.	 	Other Agreements: Also, your Award will be subject to the terms of any other written
agreements between you and the Company or a Related Entity to the extent that those other
agreements do not directly conflict with the terms of the Plan or this Award Agreement.

 

5

 

	 	g.	 	Adjustments to Your Award: Subject to the terms of the Plan, your Award will be
adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect any change to the Company’s capital structure (e.g.,
the number of your Performance Shares will be adjusted to reflect a stock split, a stock
dividend, recapitalization, including an extraordinary dividend, merger consolidation combination, spin-off, distribution of assets to stockholders, exchange of Shares or other
similar corporate change affecting Shares).

	 	h.	 	Other Rules: Your Award also is subject to more rules described in the Plan. You should
read the Plan carefully to ensure you fully understand all the terms and conditions of this
Award.

	1.	 	Nature of Your Award. The terms and conditions affecting your Award are described in this
Award Agreement and the Plan, both of which you should read carefully. If the terms and
conditions are satisfied, your Performance Shares will be settled and you will receive the
Shares underlying such Performance Shares. For purposes of this Award Agreement, each
Performance Share represents the right to receive one full Share.

	 	a.	 	Grant Date: Vtb.

	 	b.	 	Number of Performance Shares: You have been granted Vtf Performance Shares (“Total
Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.

 

1

 

	2.	 	When Your Award Will Vest. Your Performance Shares will be settled or will be forfeited
depending on whether or not the terms and conditions described in this Award Agreement and in
the Plan are satisfied. For purposes of this Award Agreement, the Performance Period is the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the third anniversary thereof (the
“Normal Vesting Date”).

	 	a.	 	Normal Vesting Date: Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, your
Performance Shares normally will vest on the Normal Vesting Date and the number of Shares
underlying your Performance Shares that actually vest may be between 0% and 100% of the
number of your Total Shares.

	 	 	 	The number of Total Shares that will vest on the Normal Vesting Date will be determined by
reference to both: (i) whether the Company’s Total Shareholder Return is positive or
negative during the Performance Period; and (ii) the relative performance of the Company’s
Total Shareholder Return as compared to the Peer Group Companies during the Performance
Period. The number of Performance Shares that will vest on the Normal Vesting Date will
equal the number of Total Shares, multiplied by the applicable percentage as set forth in
the tables below.

	 	 	 	 	 
	Relative Performance of Total Shareholder	 	Negative Total Shareholder	 
	Return to Peer Group Companies	 	Return	 
	Less than Peers’ 50th Percentile
	 	 	0	%
	Equal to Peers’ 50th Percentile
	 	 	25	%
	Equal to or Greater than Peers’ 75th Percentile
	 	 	50	%

	 	 	 	 	 
	Relative Performance of Total Shareholder	 	Positive Total Shareholder	 
	Return to Peer Group Companies	 	Return	 
	Less than Peers’ 25th Percentile
	 	 	0	%
	Equal to Peers’ 50th Percentile
	 	 	50	%
	Equal to or Greater than Peers’ 75th Percentile
	 	 	100	%

	 	 	 	If the Company’s Total Shareholder Return is between two percentages, the number of
Performance Shares that vest will be interpolated by the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Performance Shares that do not vest as of the Normal Vesting Date shall be
forfeited.

	 	 	 	As used in this Award Agreement:

	 	(A)	 	“Total Shareholder Return” for the Performance Period is calculated by first
taking the theoretical value of $100 invested in the Shares at the 30-day average price
of the Shares as of the Grant Date (i.e., the average daily closing price over the
30-day period preceding the Grant Date) and the theoretical value of $100 invested with
each of the Peer Group Companies using the same 30-day average methodology as of the
Grant Date. On the Normal Vesting Date, the value of the Shares (using the average
daily closing price over the 30 days preceding the Normal Vesting Date and assuming all
dividends are reinvested) is compared with the value of each of the Peer Group
Companies (using the same 30-day average methodology as of the Normal Vesting Date and
again assuming that all dividends are reinvested).

	 	(B)	 	“Peer Group Companies” means the peer group companies in the S&P Specialty
Chemicals Index.

 

2

 

	 	b.	 	Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your Award will immediately vest if
there is a Change in Control.

	3.	 	How Your Termination of Employment Will Affect Your Award: You may forfeit your Award if you
Terminate before the Normal Vesting Date, although this will depend on why you Terminate.

	 	a.	 	Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. If you Terminate because of (i)
death, (ii) Disability or (iii) after qualifying for Retirement if the Committee agrees to
treat your Termination as a Retirement, you will receive a prorated number of the Shares
underlying your Performance Shares granted through this Award Agreement but only if the
performance criteria described above are actually met at the Normal Vesting Date. If they
are not, all of your Performance Shares will be forfeited. If those performance criteria
are met, you will receive a number of Shares equal to:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Number of
Shares
that would
have been
due to you
if you had
not
Terminated
before the
Normal
Vesting
Date

	 	x
	 	the number of whole months between
the Grant Date and your Termination date

	 
	 	 
	 	36

	 	 	 	If the performance criteria set forth in Section 2(a) are not satisfied at the Normal
Vesting Date, all of your Performance Shares will be forfeited.

	 	b.	 	Termination for Any Reason Other Than Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. If you
Terminate for any reason other than specified in Section 3(a), all of the Performance Share
will be forfeited.

	4.	 	Settling Your Award. If all applicable terms and conditions have been met, you will receive
the Shares underlying your vested Performance Shares as soon as administratively feasible, but
no later than 60 days, after the Normal Vesting Date.

	5.	 	Other Rules Affecting Your Award

	 	a.	 	Rights During the Performance Period:

	 	(i)	 	During the Performance Period, you will have no voting rights with respect to
the Shares underlying the Performance Shares and, except as provided in subsection (ii)
below, you will have no dividend rights with respect to the Shares underlying the
Performance Shares.

 

3

 

	 	(ii)	 	You shall be entitled to receive any cash dividends that are declared and paid
during the Performance Period with respect to Shares underlying one-half of your Total Shares (the “Target Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan
and this Award Agreement. If a cash dividend is declared and paid during the
Performance Period on the Shares underlying the Target Shares, you will be deemed to
have been credited with a cash amount equal to the product of (A) the number of
Target Shares that have not been settled or forfeited as of the dividend payment
date, multiplied by (B) the amount of the cash dividend paid per Share. Such amount
shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Target Shares and
shall vest and be settled in cash if, when and to the extent the related Target
Shares vest and are settled. In the event a Target Share is forfeited under this
Award Agreement, the related dividends will also be forfeited.

	 	b.	 	Beneficiary Designation: You may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any
portion of your Award and any other right under the Plan that is unsettled at your death.
To do so, you must complete a beneficiary designation form by contacting Vtc at Vtd or the
address below. If you previously completed a valid beneficiary designation form, such form
shall apply to the Award until changed or revoked. If you die without completing a
beneficiary designation form or if you do not complete that form correctly, your
beneficiary will be your surviving spouse or, if you do not have a surviving spouse, your
estate.

	 	c.	 	Tax Withholding: Applicable withholding taxes must be withheld with respect to your
Award. These taxes may be paid in one (or a combination) of several ways. They are: (i) by
the Company withholding this amount from other amounts owed to you (e.g., from your
salary); (ii) by the Company withholding all or a portion of any cash amount owed to you
with respect to dividends credited with respect to the Shares that are to be distributed to
you; (iii) by giving the Company a check (payable to “A. Schulman, Inc.”) in an amount
equal to the taxes that must be withheld; or (iv) by having the Company withhold a portion
of the Shares that otherwise would be distributed to you. The number of Shares withheld
will have a fair market value equal to the taxes that must be withheld.

	 	 	 	You must choose the approach you prefer before the Shares are transferred to you, although
the Company may reject your preferred method for any reason (or for no reason). If this
happens, the Company will specify (from among the alternatives just listed) how these taxes
are to be paid.

	 	 	 	If you do not choose a method within 30 days of the Normal Vesting Date, the Company will
withhold either through payroll practices or a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be
distributed to you. The number of Shares withheld will have a fair market value equal to
the taxes that must be withheld and the balance of the Shares will be distributed to you.
