EXHIBIT 10.15.10

Fiscal Year [20_ _] Financial Goal Restricted Stock Units

Terms and Conditions

You have received an Award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Units”) under the Monsanto
Company 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). The Grant Date and the number
of Units initially covered by this Award (the “Initial Number of Units”) are set forth in the
document you have received entitled “Fiscal [20_ _] Long-Term Incentive Statement.” The maximum
number of Units that you may receive under this Award (the “Maximum Number of Units”) is two
times the Initial Number of Units. The Fiscal [20_ _] Long-Term Incentive Statement and these
terms and conditions collectively constitute the Award Certificate for the Units, and describe
the provisions applicable to the Units.

     1. Definitions. Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein has the meaning
set forth in the Plan or, if not defined in the Plan, in the attached Fiscal [20_ _] Long-Term
Incentive Statement. The “Company” means Monsanto Company, a Delaware corporation incorporated
February 9, 2000.

     2. Nature of Units. The Units represent the right to receive, in certain
circumstances, a number of Shares determined in accordance with the Fiscal [20_ _] Long-Term
Incentive Statement and these terms and conditions. Until such time (if any) as Shares are
delivered to you, you will not have any of the rights of a common stockholder of the Company
with respect to those Shares, your rights with respect to the Units and those Shares will be
those of a general creditor of the Company, and you may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate, give away, or otherwise dispose of the Units. Any attempt on your part to dispose
of the Units will result in their being forfeited. However, you shall have the right to receive
a cash payment (the “Dividend Equivalent Payment”) with respect to the Units (if any) that vest
pursuant to this Award, subject to withholding pursuant to paragraph 6 below, in an amount equal
to the aggregate cash dividends that would have been paid to you if you had been the record
owner, on each record date for a cash dividend during the period from the Grant Date through the
settlement date of the Units, of a number of Shares equal to the number of Units that vest under
this Award. The Dividend Equivalent Payment shall be made on such settlement date. You shall
not be entitled to receive any payments with respect to any non-cash dividends or other
distributions that may be made with respect to the Shares.

     3. Vesting of Units. (a) 162(m) Performance Goal. Subject to Section 5,
in order to vest in the Maximum Number of Units or any lesser number of Units under this Award,
the 162(m) Performance Goal must be met (as determined and certified by the Committee following
August 31, [20_ _][second year after grant]). The “162(m) Performance Goal” is that the
Company’s Net Income, as defined in the next sentence, must exceed zero for the period from
September 1, [20_ _][year of grant] through August 31, [20_ _]. “Net Income” means gross profit
(i) minus (A) sales, general and administrative expenses, (B) research and development expense,
(C) amortization, (D) net interest expense, and (E) income taxes and

1

 

(ii) plus or minus other income and expense; all as reported in the Company’s financial
statements; but excluding positive or negative effects of (I) restructuring charges and
reversals, (II) the outcome of lawsuits, (III) research and development write-offs on
acquisitions, (IV) impact of liabilities, expenses or settlements related to Solutia, Inc. or
agreements associated with a Solutia, Inc. plan of reorganization, (V) unbudgeted business sales
and divestitures, and (VI) the cumulative effects of changes in accounting methodology made
after August 31, [20_ _][year of grant].

     (b) EPS, Cash Flow, and ROC Goals. If the Section 162(m) Performance Goal is met,
then the number of Units eligible for vesting under this Award will be determined one-third
based upon the Company’s achievement of cumulative earnings per share (the “EPS Goal”),
one-third based upon the Company’s achievement of cumulative cash flow (the “Cash Flow Goal”),
and one-third based upon the Company’s achievement of return on capital (the “ROC Goal,” and,
together with the EPS Goal and the Cash Flow Goal, the “Goals” and each, singularly, a “Goal”)
for fiscal years [20_ _ and 20_ _] as compared to the Goals set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Not
later than November 15, [20_ _], the Committee will determine the extent to which the Goals have
been met and the number of Units eligible for vesting under this Award and the number of Units
to be forfeited, as follows.

Below Threshold-Level Performance: For each Goal as to which performance is below
threshold level, one-third of the Initial Number of Units shall be forfeited.

Above Threshold-Level/Below Target Performance: For each Goal as to which performance
is at or above threshold level but below target level, a number of Units shall become eligible
for vesting, equal to (i) one-third of the Initial Number of Units times (ii) the percentage
determined by straight-line interpolating between 50% and 100%, based on the relationship
between actual performance, threshold-level performance, and target-level performance for the
applicable Goal.

Target-Level Performance: For each Goal as to which target-level performance is
achieved, one-third of the Initial Number of Units shall be eligible for vesting.

Above Target-Level Performance: For each Goal as to which greater than target-level
performance is achieved, a number of Units shall become eligible for vesting, equal to (i)
one-third of the Initial Number of Units times (ii) the percentage determined by straight-line
interpolating between 100% and 200%, based on the relationship between actual performance,
target-level performance, and outstanding-level performance for the applicable Goal (for this
purpose, performance above the outstanding level for the applicable Goal shall be deemed to be
performance at such outstanding level).

     (c) Number of Units; Effect of Forfeiture. From the Grant Date through November
14, [20_ _][second year after grant], the number of Units subject to this Award shall be the
Initial Number of Units. Subject to Section 5, if the 162(m) Performance Goal is not met, or if
none of the Goals is met at the threshold level or above, all Units under this Award will be
forfeited as of November 15, [20_ _][second year after grant]. Otherwise, subject to

2

 

Section 5, the number of Units subject to this Award from November 15, [20_ _][second year after
grant] through August 31, [20_ _]third year after grant] shall be the number of Units that are
eligible for vesting after application of the foregoing and those Units will vest effective as
of August 31, [20_ _]third year after grant], except as otherwise provided in paragraph 3(d)
below.

     (d) Effect of Termination of Service. If you incur a Termination of Service before
August 31, [20_ _][second year after grant] as a result of a Job Elimination (other than a Job
Elimination subsequent to a Change of Control, which shall be governed by Section 5(d)), a
Retirement Event, or your Disability or death (each, a “Proration Event”), then effective as of
November 15, [20_ _][second year after grant], a number of Units shall vest, equal to (i) the
number of Units (if any) that become eligible for vesting, based upon the application of
paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, times (ii) a fraction (the “Proration Fraction”), the
numerator of which is the number of days from September 1, [20_ _][year of grant] through your
date of termination, and the denominator of which is 731 (subject to the special rule of Section
5(c)(iv) that applies in the event that a Change of Control occurs between such Termination of
Service and August 31, [20_ _][second year after grant]). If your employment terminates on or
after August 31, [20_ _][second year after grant] and before August 31, [20_ _][year of grant]
as a result of a Job Elimination (other than a Job Elimination subsequent to a Change of
Control, which shall be governed by Section 5(d)), a Retirement Event, or your Disability or
death, effective as of the date of such Termination of Service, (x) if such Termination of
Service precedes a Change of Control, a number of Units subject to this Award shall vest, equal
to the number of Units (if any) that become eligible for vesting, based upon the application of
paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above or (y) if such Termination of Service follows a Change of
Control, the applicable Replacement Award shall vest in full. Except as provided in Section
5(d), if your employment terminates before August 31, [20_ _][third year after grant] for any
other reason, all Units subject to this Award shall be forfeited as of the date of your
termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement Event” means a Termination of Service
(other than by the Company for Cause) on or after the later of your 55th birthday and
the date on which you complete five years of service with the Company and any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and “Job Elimination” means a Termination without Cause due to a
job-elimination or divestiture of the Affiliate or Subsidiary by which you were employed.

     4. Delivery of Shares. The Company shall deliver to you a number of Shares equal
to the number of Units (if any) that vest pursuant to this Award (except that in the event of
settlement following conversion of this Award into a cash account pursuant to Section 5(a),
delivery shall be in cash), subject to withholding as provided in paragraph 6 below. Such
delivery shall take place as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 90 days, after
August 31, [20_ _][third year after grant]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a
Termination of Service that is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of
the Code and that occurs during the two-year period following a Change of Control that qualifies
as an event described in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and the regulations thereunder,
such delivery shall take place as soon as practicable following the date of the applicable
Termination of Service. Nothing in this Agreement, including Section 5, shall

3

 

preclude the Company from settling upon a Change of Control an Award that is not replaced by a
Replacement Award (as defined below), to the extent effectuated in accordance with Treas. Regs.
§ 1.409A-3(j)(ix).

     5. Change of Control. The provisions of this Section 5 shall govern vesting of
this Award upon a Change of Control, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.17 of the
Plan.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Award Certificate, the number of Units subject to this Award shall vest in full, except to the
extent that another award meeting the requirements of Section 5(b) is provided to you to replace
this Award (any award meeting the requirements of Section 5(b), a “Replacement Award”). In the
event that no Replacement Award is so provided to you, this Award shall be converted into a cash
account (based on the number of Units as of the date of the Change of Control (determined in
accordance with Section 5(c)) and the value per Share as of the Change of Control), which shall
accrue interest at the applicable federal short-term rate provided for in Section 1274(d)(1)(A)
of the Code, and be settled in accordance with Section 4 above. For clarity, such account shall
be fully vested as of the Change of Control, in no event shall the amount of such account be
increased or decreased as a result of the circumstances of a subsequent Termination of Service,
and the provisions of Section 2 relating to Dividend Equivalent Payments shall cease to apply
following conversion of this Award into a cash account.

     (b) An award shall meet the conditions of this Section 5(b) (and hence qualify as a
Replacement Award) if: (i) it is a restricted stock unit in respect of publicly traded equity
securities of the Company or the surviving corporation following the Change of Control, (ii) it
has a value at least equal to the value of the Units subject to this Award as of the date of the
Change of Control (determined in accordance with Section 5(c)) and provides for vesting based
solely on continued service (with no performance conditions), (iii) it contains terms relating
to vesting (including with respect to Termination of Service) that are substantially identical
to those of this Award, and (iv) its other terms and conditions are not less favorable to you
than the terms and conditions of this Award as of the date of the Change of Control. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Replacement Award may take the form of a
continuation of this Award if the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied. If a
Replacement Award is granted, the Units shall not vest upon the Change of Control. The
determination of whether the conditions of this Section 5(b) are satisfied shall be made by the
Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change of Control, in its sole discretion.

     (c) For purposes of this Section 5, the number of Units subject to this Award as of a
Change of Control shall be determined in accordance with the following rules:

          (i) If the date of the Change of Control is after August 31, [20_ _][year of grant]

4

 

and prior to September 1, [20_ _][first year after grant], the number of Units subject to this
Award as of such Change of Control shall be the Initial Number of Units.

          (ii) If the date of the Change of Control is after August 31, [20_ _] and prior to
September 1, [20_ _][second year after grant], the number of Units subject to this Award as of
such Change of Control shall be the sum of (x) 50% of the Initial Number of Units plus (y) 50%
of the number of Units that would have become eligible for vesting under Section 3(b) above, if
Goal achievement were measured solely based upon the degree of achievement of the fiscal year
[20_ _][year after grant] goals (assuming for this purpose that the Section 162(m) Performance
Goal was achieved), the determination of such achievement to be made by the Committee no later
than the date of the Change of Control, it being understood that to the extent that all
necessary performance results are not available as of such date, the Committee shall make a good
faith estimate.

          (iii) If the date of the Change of Control is after August 31, [20_ _][second year after
grant] and prior to September 1, [20_ _][third year after grant], the number of Units subject to
this Award as of such Change of Control shall be determined pursuant to paragraph 3(c), except
that if the date of the Change of Control is after August 31, [20_ _][second year after grant]
and before November 15, [20_ _][second year after grant], the adjustments to the number of Units
pursuant to paragraphs 3(a) and (b) shall apply effective as of the date of such Change of
Control (and the Committee shall make the determinations necessary for application of such
adjustments no later than the date of the Change of Control, it being understood that to the
extent that all necessary performance results are not available as of such date, the Committee
shall make a good faith estimate).

          (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c), if you have incurred a
Termination of Service that is a Proration Event before the date of a Change of Control, the
number of Units subject to this Award as of such Change of Control shall be determined by
multiplying the number of Units determined in accordance with the rules set forth in the
preceding paragraphs of this Section 5(c) by the Proration Fraction.

     (d) If you experience (x) a Termination without Cause or (y) a termination under
circumstances entitling you to severance benefits under a constructive termination provision
(including, without limitation, a “good reason” provision or a constructive “involuntary
termination” provision) of an agreement, plan or program covering you, in either case, at any
time following a Change of Control, the applicable Replacement Award shall vest in full.

     6. Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award
Certificate, your right to receive the Dividend Equivalent Payment and to receive Shares in
settlement of any Units is subject to withholding of all taxes that are required to be paid or
withheld in connection with such Dividend Equivalent Payment or the delivery of such Shares.
With respect to the delivery of Shares, you must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company
for the payment of any such taxes.

5

 

     7. Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award
Certificate, this Award shall be subject to the terms of the Company’s Recoupment Policy, which
is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

     8. No Right to Continued Employment or Service. This Award Certificate shall not
limit or restrict the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate your employment or
service at any time or for any reason.

     9. Effect of Award Certificate; Severability. This Award Certificate shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company. The invalidity or
enforceability of any provision of this Award Certificate shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Award Certificate.

     10. Amendment. The terms and conditions of this Award Certificate may not be
amended in any manner adverse to you without your consent.

     11. Plan Interpretation. This Award Certificate is subject to the provisions of
the Plan, and all of the provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Award
Certificate. If there is a conflict between the provisions of this Award Certificate and the
Plan, the provisions of the Plan govern. If there is any ambiguity in this Award Certificate,
any term that is not defined in this Award Certificate, or any matters as to which this Award
Certificate is silent, the Plan shall govern, including, without limitation, the provisions of
the Plan addressing construction and governing law, as well as the powers of the Committee,
among others, to (a) interpret the Plan, (b) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, (c) make appropriate adjustments to the Units in the event of a corporate
transaction, and (d) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration
of the Plan.

[Form of]

Monsanto Company 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Terms and Conditions

of this Fiscal Year [20_ _ ]

Retention and Performance Restricted Stock Unit Grant

You have received an Award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Units”) under the Monsanto Company
2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Grant Date and the number of Units covered by
this Award are set forth in the document you have received entitled “Restricted Stock Units
Statement.” The Restricted Stock Units Statement and these terms and conditions collectively
constitute the Award Certificate for the Units, and describe the provisions applicable to the
Units.

     1. Definitions. Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein has the meaning
set forth in the Plan or, if not defined in the Plan, in the attached Restricted Stock Units
Statement. The “Company” means Monsanto Company, a Delaware corporation incorporated February
9, 2000.

     2. Nature of Units. The Units represent the right to receive, in certain
circumstances, a number of Shares determined in accordance with the Restricted Stock Units
Statement and these terms and conditions. Until such time (if any) as Shares are delivered to
you, you will not have any of the rights of a common stockholder of the Company with respect to
those Shares, your rights with respect to the Units and those Shares will be those of a general
creditor of the Company, and you may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, give away,
or otherwise dispose of the Units. Any attempt on your part to dispose of the Units will result
in their being forfeited. However, you shall have the right to receive a cash payment (the
“Dividend Equivalent Payment”) with respect to the Units (if any) that vest pursuant to this
Award, subject to withholding pursuant to paragraph 6 below, in an amount equal to the aggregate
cash dividends that would have been paid to you if you had been the record owner, on each record
date for a cash dividend during the period from the Grant Date through the settlement date of
the Units, of a number of Shares equal to the number of Units that vest under this Award. The
Dividend Equivalent Payment shall be made on such settlement date. You shall not be entitled to
receive any payments with respect to any non-cash dividends or other distributions that may be
made with respect to the Shares.

     3. Vesting of Units. (a) 162(m) Performance Goal. Subject to Section 5,
in order to vest in any number of Units under this Award, the 162(m) Performance Goal must be
met (as determined and certified by the Committee following the conclusion of the Company’s
fiscal year that concludes on August

 

 

31, 2014).
The “162(m) Performance Goal” is that the Company’s Net Income, as defined in the
next sentence, must exceed zero for the period from September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2014.
“Net Income” means gross profit (i) minus (A) sales, general and administrative expenses, (B)
research and development expense, (C) amortization, (D) net interest expense, and (E) income
taxes and (ii) plus or minus other income and expense; all as
reported in the Company’s
financial statements; but excluding positive or negative effects of (I) restructuring charges
and reversals, (II) the outcome of lawsuits, (III) research and development write-offs on
acquisitions, (IV) impact of liabilities, expenses or settlements related to Solutia, Inc. or
agreements associated with a Solutia, Inc. plan of reorganization, (V) unbudgeted business sales
and divestitures, and (VI) the cumulative effects of changes in accounting methodology made
after August 31, 2011.

     (b) Vesting Date. If the Section 162(m) Performance Goal is met, then the Units
shall vest on [January 30/June 1], 2015 (the “Scheduled Vesting Date”), subject to your not
incurring a Termination of Service prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date. Subject to Sections
3(c) and 5(c), if the Section 162(m) Performance Goal is not met, or if you incur a Termination
of Service prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date, all Units shall be forfeited and cease to be
outstanding, effective as of the date it is first determined that such goal will not be met, or
as of the date of such Termination of Service, as applicable.

     (c) Effect of Termination of Service. If you incur a Termination of Service before
the Scheduled Vesting Date due to a Termination without Cause (other than a Termination without
Cause subsequent to a Change of Control, which shall be governed by Section 5(c)) or due to your
Disability or death, then effective as of the Scheduled Vesting Date, so long as the Section
162(m) Performance Goal is met, a number of Units shall vest, equal to (i) the total number of
Units, times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date
through the date of your Termination of Service, and the denominator of which is the number of
days from the Grant Date through the Scheduled Vesting Date. Effective as of the date of a
Termination of Service governed by the preceding sentence, all Units in excess of the amount
that are eligible for vesting by operation of the preceding sentence shall be forfeited and
cease to be outstanding.

     4. Delivery of Shares. The Company shall deliver to you a number of Shares equal
to the number of Units (if any) that vest pursuant to this Award (except that in the event of
settlement following conversion of this Award into a cash account pursuant to Section 5(a),
delivery shall be in cash), subject to withholding as provided in paragraph 6 below. Such
delivery shall take place as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 90 days, after the
Scheduled Vesting Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Termination of Service
that is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of

2

 

the Code and that occurs during the two-year period following a Change of Control that qualifies
as an event described in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and the regulations thereunder,
such delivery shall take place as soon as practicable following the date of the applicable
Termination of Service. Nothing in this Agreement, including Section 5, shall preclude the
Company from settling upon a Change of Control an Award that is not replaced by a Replacement
Award (as defined below), to the extent effectuated in accordance with Treas. Regs. §
1.409A-3(j)(ix).

     5. Change of Control. The provisions of this Section 5 shall govern vesting of
this Award upon a Change of Control, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.17 of the
Plan.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Award Certificate, the number of Units subject to this Award that remain outstanding as of such
Change of Control shall vest in full, except to the extent that another award meeting the
requirements of Section 5(b) is provided to you to replace this Award (any award meeting the
requirements of Section 5(b), a “Replacement Award”). In the event that no Replacement Award is
so provided to you, this Award shall be converted into a cash account (based on the number of
Units as of the date of the Change of Control and the value per Share as of the Change of
Control), which shall accrue interest at the applicable federal short-term rate provided for in
Section 1274(d)(1)(A) of the Code, and be settled in accordance with Section 4 above. For
clarity, such account shall be fully vested as of the Change of Control, in no event shall the
amount of such account be increased or decreased as a result of the circumstances of a
subsequent Termination of Service, and the provisions of Section 2 relating to Dividend
Equivalent Payments shall cease to apply following conversion of this Award into a cash account.

     (b) An award shall meet the conditions of this Section 5(b) (and hence qualify as a
Replacement Award) if: (i) it is a restricted stock unit in respect of publicly traded equity
securities of the Company or the surviving corporation following the Change of Control, (ii) it
has a value at least equal to the value of the Units subject to this Award as of the date of the
Change of Control and provides for vesting based solely on continued service (with no
performance conditions), (iii) it contains terms relating to vesting (including with respect to
Termination of Service) that are substantially identical to those of this Award, and (iv) its
other terms and conditions are not less favorable to you than the terms and conditions of this
Award as of the date of the Change of Control. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
a Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of this Award if the requirements of the
preceding sentence are satisfied. If a Replacement Award is granted, the Units shall not vest
upon the Change of Control. The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 5(b)
are satisfied shall be made by the Committee, as constituted

3

 

immediately before the Change of Control, in its sole discretion.

     (c) If you experience (x) a Termination without Cause or (y) a termination under
circumstances entitling you to severance benefits under a constructive termination provision
(including, without limitation, a “good reason” provision or a constructive “involuntary
termination” provision) of an agreement, plan or program covering you, in either case, at any
time following a Change of Control, the applicable Replacement Award shall vest in full.

     6. Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Certificate,
your right to receive the Dividend Equivalent Payment and to receive Shares or cash in
settlement of any Units is subject to withholding of all taxes that are required to be paid or
withheld in connection with such Dividend Equivalent Payment or the delivery of such Shares or
cash. With respect to the delivery of Shares, you must make arrangements satisfactory to the
Company for the payment of any such taxes.

     7. Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award
Certificate, this Award shall be subject to the terms of the Company’s Recoupment Policy, which
is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

     8. No Right to Continued Employment or Service. This Award Certificate shall not
limit or restrict the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate your employment or
service at any time or for any reason.

     9. Effect of Award Certificate; Severability. This Award Certificate shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company. The invalidity or
enforceability of any provision of this Award Certificate shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Award Certificate.

     10. Amendment. The terms and conditions of this Award Certificate may not be
amended in any manner adverse to you without your consent.

     11. Plan Interpretation. This Award Certificate is subject to the provisions of
the Plan, and all of the provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Award
Certificate. If there is a conflict between the provisions of this Award Certificate and the
Plan, the provisions of the Plan govern. If there is any ambiguity in this Award Certificate,
any term that is not defined in this Award Certificate, or any matters as to which this Award
Certificate is silent, the Plan shall govern, including, without limitation, the provisions of
the Plan addressing construction and governing law, as well as the powers of the Committee,
among others, to (a) interpret the Plan, (b) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, (c) make

4

 

appropriate adjustments to the Units in the event of a corporate transaction, and (d) make all
