THE INTERPUBLIC GROUP OF COMPANIES, INC. 2006 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

The following terms and conditions supplement the terms of the Plan:

	
            Payment of RSUs
 	
            Payment of RSUs shall be made in cash pursuant to this Award no later than March 15th of the first calendar year after the calendar year in which the Vesting Date set forth in the cover page occurs.  The amount of the payment shall equal the fair market value on the payment date of one Share multiplied by the number of the Participant’s RSUs.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the fair market value of one Share shall be the closing price of a Share on the last trading day immediately preceding the payment date.
 
	
      Dividends
 	
            This Award confers no rights on the Participant as a shareholder of the Company.  Accordingly, the Participant is not entitled to any dividends with respect to RSUs.
 
	
      Withholding
 	
            As set forth in the Plan, the Company may be required to withhold income and employment taxes with respect to this Award.  In any event, the Participant remains responsible at all times for paying any income and employment taxes with respect to this Award.  The Company is not responsible for any liability or penalty relating to taxes (including excise taxes) on compensation (including imputed compensation) or other income attributed to the Participant (or a Beneficiary) pursuant to this Agreement, whether as a result of the Participant failing to make timely payments of tax or otherwise.
 
	
      Adjustments
 	
            If a Corporate Transaction has occurred that affects the Common Stock, an anti-dilution adjustment would automatically be completed to preserve, or to prevent enlargement of, the benefits or potential benefits available under this Award, in such manner as to adjust the number of RSUs and/or the number and kind of shares that correspond to the RSUs.
 
	
      Interpretation and Construction
 	
            This Agreement and the Plan shall be construed and interpreted by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  Any interpretation or other determination by the Committee (including, but not limited to, correction of any defect or omission and reconciliation of any inconsistency in this Agreement or the Plan) shall be binding and conclusive.
 
	
      Entire Understanding
 	
            This Agreement and the terms of the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Participant and the Company and its Affiliates regarding this Award.  Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations concerning this Award are superseded.

THE INTERPUBLIC GROUP OF COMPANIES 2006 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

 

The following terms and conditions supplement the terms of the Plan:

	
            Termination of Employment
 	
            As set forth in the Plan, the period during which the Participant may exercise this Option after a Termination of Employment is limited.  A Participant’s Termination of Employment will be deemed to occur on the date the Participant is withdrawn from the payroll of the Company or its Affiliate, as applicable.  For purposes of the Option, if the Participant is not eligible to receive severance pay, the Participant will be deemed to have been withdrawn from the payroll on the day the Participant ceases to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates.  If the Participant is entitled to receive severance pay, the Participant will be deemed to have been withdrawn from the payroll on the day the Participant receives his or her
last severance payment.
 
	
            Withholding
 	
            As set forth in the Plan, the Company may be required to withhold income and employment taxes when you (or your Beneficiary) exercise the Option.  In any event, the Participant (or Beneficiary, if applicable) remains responsible at all times for paying any income and employment taxes with respect to the Option.  The Company is not responsible for any liability or penalty relating to taxes (including excise taxes) on compensation (including imputed compensation) or other income attributed to the Participant (or a Beneficiary) pursuant to this Agreement, whether as a result of the Participant failing to make timely payments of tax or otherwise.
 
	
            Beneficiary
 	
            As set forth in the Plan, rights under this Option may be passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.  The person(s) to whom the Option is so passed is the Participant’s “Beneficiary.”
 
	
            Adjustments
 	
            If a Corporate Transaction has occurred that affects the Common Stock, an anti-dilution adjustment would automatically be completed to preserve, or to prevent enlargement of, the benefits or potential benefits available under the Option, in such manner as to adjust the number and kind of shares that are subject to the Option and/or the exercise price of the Option.
 
	
            Postponement of  Exercise and/or  Delivery
 	
            The exercise of this Option and/or issuance or delivery of Shares may be postponed under certain circumstances specified in the Plan; provided that such postponement shall not be exercised in a manner that would constitute a feature for the deferral of compensation or a modification of the Option that results in the Option being subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
	
            Interpretation and Construction
 	
            This Agreement and the Plan shall be construed and interpreted by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  Any interpretation or other determination by the Committee (including, but not limited to, correction of any defect or omission and reconciliation of any inconsistency in this Agreement or the Plan) shall be binding and conclusive.
 
	
            Entire Understanding
 	
            This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company and its Affiliates regarding the Option.  Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations concerning the Option are superseded.
