 U.S. BANCORP 

PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT, together with the Award Summary and the Completed Exhibit A which are incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Agreement”), sets forth the terms and
conditions of a performance restricted stock unit award representing the right to receive shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Agreement is issued pursuant to the Company’s Amended
and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders on April 20, 2010 (the “Plan”) and is subject to its terms. Capitalized terms that are not defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such
terms in the Plan. 
 The Company and Participant agree as follows: 

 

	1.	Award 

 Subject to
the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Agreement, the Company grants to Participant a performance restricted stock unit award entitling Participant to the number of performance restricted stock units (the “Units”) equal to the
“Target Award Number” set forth in Participant’s Award Summary (such number of units, the “Target Award Number”). The Target Award Number shall be adjusted upward or downward as provided in the Completed Exhibit A. The
number of Units that Participant will receive under the Agreement, after giving effect to such adjustment, is referred to herein as the “Final Award Number.” Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock, subject to
the vesting requirements and distribution provisions of the Agreement and the terms of the Plan. The shares of Common Stock distributable to Participant with respect to the Units granted hereunder are referred to as the “Shares.”
Participant’s Award Summary sets forth the date of grant of this award (the “Grant Date”). The Completed Exhibit A sets forth (a) the performance period over which the Final Award Number will be determined (the
“Performance Period”), and (b) the date on which the Final Award Number will be determined (the “Determination Date”). 
  

	2.	Vesting; Forfeiture 

(a) Time Based Vesting Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Units shall vest in installments on
the dates set forth in the Participant’s Award Summary (each such date, a “Scheduled Vesting Date”), if the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company until any such Scheduled Vesting Date.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, if Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any Affiliate (as defined in Section 11) prior to vesting of any Units in accordance with the Award Summary, all of Participant’s
unvested Units shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited. 

 (b) Continued Vesting Upon Separation From Service Due to Retirement or Disability.
If Participant has a Separation From Service (as defined in Section 11) with the Company or any Affiliate by reason of Disability (as defined in Section 11) or Retirement (as defined in Section 11), the Units shall not be forfeited,
but shall continue to vest on the Scheduled Vesting Dates in accordance with Participant’s Award Summary and subject to the terms of the Agreement, including Section 2(f) hereof, as though such Separation From Service had never occurred,
so long as the Participant has at all times since the Grant Date complied with the terms of any confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant. 

(c) Acceleration of Vesting Upon Death. If Participant ceases to be an employee by reason of death, or if Participant dies after a
Separation From Service with the Company or an Affiliate due to Disability or Retirement but prior to any Scheduled Vesting Date, then the Units will become vested in accordance with this Section 2(c). If such death occurs prior to the last day
of the Performance Period, a number of Units equal to the Target Award Number will vest upon Participant’s death. If the death occurs on or after the last day of the Performance Period, then a number of Units equal to the Final Award Number
will vest upon Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such accelerated vesting shall occur only if the Participant has at all times since the Grant Date complied with the terms of any confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement
between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant. 
 (d) Acceleration of Vesting Upon Qualifying Termination.
Notwithstanding the vesting provisions contained in Sections 2(a) through (c) above, but subject to the other terms and conditions of the Agreement, if Participant has been continuously employed by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company
until the date of a Qualifying Termination (as defined in Section 11), then immediately upon such Qualifying Termination, Participant shall be vested in the number of Units determined in accordance with this Section 2(d). If the Qualifying
Termination occurs prior to the last day of the Performance Period, a number of Units equal to the Target Award Number will vest upon such Qualifying Termination. If the Qualifying Termination occurs on or after the last day of the Performance
Period, a number of Units equal to the Final Award Number will vest upon such Qualifying Termination. 
 (e) Forfeiture on
Termination of Employment for Cause and on Breach of Confidentiality Agreement. If Participant violates the terms of any confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant, all of
Participant’s unvested Units shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited. If Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for Cause (as defined in Section 11), all of Participant’s unvested Units shall be
immediately and irrevocably forfeited. Upon forfeiture, Participant shall have no rights relating to the forfeited Units (including, without limitation, any rights to receive a distribution of Shares with respect to the Units and the right to
receive dividend equivalents). 
 (f) Special Vesting and Forfeiture Terms. 

(A) Forfeiture Resulting From Acts Occurring During the Grant Year. Notwithstanding the provisions of Participant’s Award Summary
and Sections 2(a) through 2(d) hereof, if it shall be determined at any time subsequent to the Grant Date that Participant has, during the year in which the Grant Date occurs (the “Grant Year”), (i) failed to comply with Company
policies and procedures, including the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, (ii) violated any law or regulation, (iii) engaged in negligent or willful misconduct, or (iv) engaged in activity resulting in a significant or material
Sarbanes-Oxley control deficiency, and such failure, violation, misconduct or activity (1) demonstrates an inadequate sensitivity to the inherent risks of Participant’s business line or functional area, and (2) results in, or is
reasonably likely to result in, a material adverse impact (whether financial or reputational) on the Company or Participant’s business line or functional area, all or part of the Units granted under this Award that have not yet become vested at
the time of such determination may be cancelled and, if so cancelled, such Units will not become vested. “Inadequate sensitivity” to risk is demonstrated by imprudent activities that subject the Company to risk outcomes in future periods,
including risks that may not be apparent at the time the activities are undertaken. 

  
 -2-

 (B) Forfeiture of Units for Acts Occurring in Years other than the Grant Year.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Participant’s Award Summary and Section 2(a) through 2(d) hereof, if the Participant receives one or more equity Awards in any years other than the Grant Year (an “Other Grant Year”) pursuant to
an Award Agreement that contains a clause substantially similar to paragraph (A) above, and it shall be determined that Participant, as a result of risk-related behavior, should be subject to the forfeiture of all or part of any such Award
granted in such Other Grant Year in accordance with the terms of such clause, then the unvested Units granted under this Award shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent necessary to equal the Unsatisfied Forfeiture Value (as defined below). The
term “Unsatisfied Forfeiture Value” shall mean the value (as determined by the Incentive Review Committee in its absolute discretion) of any portion of the Award determined by the Incentive Review Committee to be subject to forfeiture with
respect to the Other Grant Year (without regard to whether or not some portion thereof has already vested) that has in fact vested prior to such determination by the Incentive Review Committee. All or a portion of unvested Units granted under this
Award shall be subject to forfeiture in order to satisfy as much as possible of the Unsatisfied Forfeiture Value, and the valuation of such Units for such purpose shall be determined in the absolute discretion of the Incentive Review Committee.

  

	3.	Distribution of Shares with Respect to Units 

 Subject to the restrictions in this Section 3, following the vesting of Units and following the payment of any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Company shall cause
to be issued and delivered to Participant (including through book entry) Shares registered in the name of Participant or in the name of Participant’s legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be, as follows: 

(a) Scheduled Vesting Date Distributions. As soon as administratively feasible following each Scheduled
Vesting Date (but in no event later than
December 31st of the year in which such Scheduled
Vesting Date occurs), all Shares issuable pursuant to Units that become vested as of such Scheduled Vesting Date (and with respect to which Shares have not been distributed previously) shall be distributed to Participant, or in the event of
Participant’s death, to the representatives of Participant or to any Person to whom the Units have been transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution. 

(b) Qualifying Termination Distributions. As soon as administratively feasible following a Separation From Service in connection
with a Qualifying Termination (but in no event later than 60 days following such Separation From Service), all Shares issuable pursuant to Units that become vested as a result of such Qualifying Termination (and with respect to which Shares have not
been distributed previously) shall be distributed to Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Shares issuable to a Specified Employee (as defined in Section 11) as a result of a Separation From Service in connection with a Qualifying
Termination will not be delivered to such Specified Employee until the date that is six months and one day after the date of the Separation From Service. 
 (c) Distributions Following Retirement or Disability. If a Participant has a Separation From Service with the Company or its Affiliates due to Retirement or Disability (so long as such Separation
From Service is not in connection with a Qualifying Termination), the distribution of Shares with respect to Units will not be accelerated, and Shares will be distributed as soon as administratively feasible following the applicable Scheduled
Vesting Dates (but in no event later than
December 31st of the year in which such Scheduled
Vesting Date occurs). 
 (d) Distributions Following Death. As soon as administratively feasible following the death of a
Participant (but in no event later than 90 days following such death) all Shares issuable pursuant to Units that become vested pursuant to Section 2(c) (and with respect to which Shares have not been distributed previously) shall be distributed
to Participant. 
 In the event that the number of Shares distributable pursuant to this Section 3 is a number that is not a whole number,
then the number of Shares distributed shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. 

  
 -3-

	4.	Rights as Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents 

 Prior to the distribution of Shares with respect to Units pursuant to Section 3 above, Participant shall not have ownership or rights of ownership of any Shares underlying the Units; provided,
however, that cash dividend equivalents shall accrue on the Shares underlying the Units, whether such Units are vested or unvested, if cash dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on the Common Stock on or after the
Grant Date. Participant shall be entitled to dividend equivalents with respect to a number of Units equal to the Final Award Number. Such dividend equivalents will be in an amount of cash per Unit equal to the cash dividend paid with respect to a
share of outstanding Common Stock. The dividend equivalents shall be treated as earnings on, and as a separate amount from, the Units for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Dividend equivalents accrued prior to the Determination Date will be
paid to Participant as soon as administratively feasible after the Determination Date (but in no event later than 30 days following the Determination Date). After the Determination Date, dividend equivalents will be paid to Participant with respect
to unvested Shares on the same payment dates as dividends to holders of the Common Stock are paid; provided, however, that, in all events, any dividend equivalents paid in accordance with this sentence shall be paid in the calendar
year in which the dividends are declared, or, if later, on or before the date that is two and one-half months after the date on which such dividends are declared. Dividend equivalents paid with respect to dividends declared before the delivery of
the Shares underlying the Units will be treated as compensation income for tax purposes and will be subject to income and payroll tax withholding by the Company. 
  

	5.	Restriction on Transfer 

 Except
for transfers by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, the Units cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, gifted, pledged, or in any manner encumbered, alienated, attached or disposed of, and any purported sale, assignment,
transfer, gift, pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. No such attempt to transfer the Units, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest the purported
transferee with any interest or right in or with respect to the Units or the Shares issuable with respect to the Units. 
  

	6.	Securities Law Compliance 

 The
delivery of all or any of the Shares in accordance with this Award shall be effective only at such time that the issuance of such Shares will not violate any state or federal securities or other laws. The Company is under no obligation to effect any
registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 or to effect any state registration or qualification of the Shares. The Company may, in its sole discretion, delay the delivery of the Shares or place restrictive legends on such Shares in
order to ensure that the issuance of any Shares will be in compliance with federal or state securities laws and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange upon which the Company’s Common Stock is traded. 

 

	7.	Distributions and Adjustments 

 The
Award shall be subject to adjustment, in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Plan, in the event that any distribution, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or other event covered by Section 4(c) of the Plan shall occur. 

 

	8.	Income Tax Withholding 

 In order
to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole
and absolute responsibility of Participant, are withheld or collected from Participant. Participant may satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations arising from the receipt of Shares, or lapse of restrictions relating to the Units, by check
payable to the Company. In addition, Participant may, at Participant’s election, satisfy the minimum statutory withholding obligations that arise at the time of delivery of Shares by electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the Shares
otherwise to be delivered with a Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the Plan) equal to the amount necessary to satisfy such obligations. The election must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

	9.	Miscellaneous 

 (a) The Agreement is issued pursuant to the Plan and is subject to its terms. The Plan is available for inspection during business hours at the principal office of the Company. In addition, the Plan may
be viewed on the Morgan Stanley Benefit Access Website at www.benefitaccess.com (or the website of any other stock plan administrator selected by the Company in the future). 
 (b) The Agreement shall not confer on Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment with the Company or any Affiliate, nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or
any Affiliate to terminate such employment at any time. 
 (c) Participant acknowledges that the grant, vesting or any payment
with respect to this Award, and the sale or other taxable disposition of the Shares issued with respect to the Units hereunder may have tax consequences pursuant to the Code or under local, state or international tax laws. Participant acknowledges
that Participant is relying solely and exclusively on Participant’s own professional tax and investment advisors with respect to any and all such matters (and is not relying, in any manner, on the Company or any of its employees or
representatives). Participant understands and agrees that any and all tax consequences resulting from the Award and its grant, vesting or any payment with respect thereto, and the sale or other taxable disposition of the Shares acquired pursuant to
the Award, is solely and exclusively the responsibility of Participant without any expectation or understanding that the Company or any of its employees or representatives will pay or reimburse Participant for such taxes or other items. 

(d) It is intended that the Plan and the Agreement shall comply with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations
and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder and the provisions of the Agreement shall be construed and administered accordingly.

Percentage will be determined by interpolation of the data points (i.e., the percentages) set forth in the ROE Performance Matrix. 

  

	 	•	 	 In no event shall the Target Award Number Percentage be greater than 125.0%. 

The Final Award Number for each Participant shall be determined by the Committee on the Determination Date. The Award Summary of each Participant shall

Committee shall determine the Peer Group ROE Ranking by reference to publicly available financial information regarding the Peer Companies. Any determination by the Committee pursuant to this Exhibit A will be binding upon each Participant and

 U.S. BANCORP

 THIS AGREEMENT, together with the Grant
Summary which is incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Agreement’), sets forth the terms and conditions of a stock option for the purchase of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common
Stock”), granted to Optionee by the Company. The grant of the Option is pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders on April 20, 2010 (the “Plan”), and is
subject to its terms. Capitalized terms not defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan. 
 The Company
and Optionee agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Grant of Option 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Agreement, the Company grants Optionee the right and option (the
“Option”) to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of the number of shares of Common Stock set forth in Optionee’s Grant Summary at the exercise price per share set forth in the Grant Summary. The date of grant of the Option (the
“Grant Date”) and the expiration date of the Option (the “Expiration Date”) also are set forth in Optionee’s Grant Summary. The Option is not intended to be an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
  

	2.	Vesting of Exercise Rights; Expiration Date 

 (a) Time Based Vesting Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Option, or a portion of the Option, shall vest and may be exercised on or after the date or dates set forth in
the Optionee’s Grant Summary (each a Scheduled Vesting Date) if the Optionee remains continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company until any such Scheduled Vesting Date. The Option shall terminate and shall no longer be
exercisable at the close of business on the Expiration Date, or on such earlier date as provided in this Section 2. 

 (b) Accelerated Vesting of Exercise Rights Upon Qualifying Termination. Notwithstanding the
vesting provision contained in Section 2(a) above, but subject to the other terms and conditions of the Agreement, if Optionee’s employment is terminated pursuant to a Qualifying Termination (as defined in Section 9), the vesting of
the Option will be accelerated and the Option may be exercised in full immediately upon such Qualifying Termination. Further, upon a Qualifying Termination, Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option for a period of one year following such
termination of employment; provided that no provision of this paragraph shall shorten the period in which the Option may be exercised in the event of death, Disability, Retirement or Early Retirement as provided herein; and, provided further, that
no Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date. 
 (c) Accelerated Vesting of Exercise Rights Upon Death.
Notwithstanding the vesting provisions contained in Section 2(a) above, but subject to the other terms and conditions of the Agreement, if Optionee dies while in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, then so long as Optionee has complied
with the terms of any confidentiality and nonsolicitation agreement between the Company and Optionee (a “Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement”), the vesting of the Option will accelerate upon the death of Optionee, and the Option
will be fully exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to the earlier of (A) the last day of the three year period commencing on the date of Optionee’s death and (B) the Expiration Date of the Option. The Option may be exercised
by the personal representatives or administrators of Optionee or by any Person or Persons to whom the Option has been transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution. 

(d) Continued Vesting of Exercise Rights Upon Disability. If Optionee’s employment is terminated by reason of Disability (as defined
in Section 9), the Option shall continue to vest and will be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Agreement as though such termination had never occurred, so long as Optionee has complied with the terms of any Confidentiality and
Nonsolicitation Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that Optionee has not violated the terms of any Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement, if Optionee shall die following a termination of employment by reason of Disability
(but prior to the Expiration Date of the Option), then the vesting of the Option will accelerate upon Optionee’s death (to the extent that any portion of the Option was not vested at the time of Optionee’s death) and the Option will be
fully exercisable in whole or in part by the personal representatives or administrators of Optionee, or by any Person or Persons to whom the Option has been transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, at any time up to
the earlier of (A) the last day of the three year period commencing on the date of Optionee’s death and (B) the Expiration Date of the Option. 
 (e) Continued Vesting of Exercise Rights Upon Retirement. If Optionee’s employment is terminated by reason of Retirement (as defined in Section 9), the Option shall continue to vest and will be
exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Agreement as though such termination had never occurred, so long as Optionee has complied with the terms of any Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and
provided that Optionee has not violated the terms of any Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement, if Optionee shall die following a termination of employment by reason of Retirement (but prior to the Expiration Date of the Option), then the
vesting of the Option will accelerate upon Optionee’s death (to the extent that any portion of the Option was not vested at the time of Optionee’s death) and the Option will be fully exercisable in whole or in part by the personal
representatives or administrators of Optionee, or by any Person or Persons to whom the Option has been transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, at any time up to the earlier of (A) the last day of the three year
period commencing on the date of Optionee’s death and (B) the Expiration Date of the Option. 

  
 2 

 (f) Right to Exercise Option Following Early Retirement. If Optionee’s employment is
terminated by reason of Early Retirement (as defined in Section 9), Optionee may exercise the portion of the Option that was vested on the date of such termination of employment at any time up to the earlier of (A) the last day of the
three year period commencing on the date of such termination and (B) the Expiration Date of the Option, so long as Optionee has complied with the terms of any Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement. If Optionee shall die following a
termination of employment by reason of Early Retirement (but prior to the expiration of the Option as determined under the prior sentence), and if Optionee has not violated the terms of any Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement, the Option
may be exercised to the extent it was exercisable by Optionee on the date of termination of employment, by the personal representatives or administrators of Optionee, or by any Person or Persons to whom the Option has been transferred by will or the
applicable laws of descent and distribution, at any time up until the earlier of (A) the last day of the three year period commencing on the date of Optionee’s termination of employment and (B) the Expiration Date of the Option.

 (g) Termination for Cause. If Optionee’s employment is terminated by reason of Cause (as defined in Section 9), the
Option shall be terminated and shall not be exercisable as of the date of the misconduct. 
 (h) Termination for any reason other
than Cause, death, Disability, Retirement, Early Retirement or Qualifying Termination. If Optionee’s employment shall be terminated for any reason other than Cause, death, Disability, Retirement , Early Retirement or Qualifying Termination,
Optionee may exercise the Option, to the extent that the Option was exercisable by Optionee on the date of the termination of employment, at any time up to the earlier of (A) 90 days after such termination and (B) the Expiration Date of
the Option. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2(b) through 2(f), if Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate prior to the vesting of any portion of the Option on a Scheduled Vesting Date, the portion of the Option that
has not vested as of the date Optionee’s termination of employment shall be immediately forfeited. 
 (i) Notwithstanding
anything apparently to the contrary in the Agreement, if Optionee violates the terms of any Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement, the Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised by Optionee (or by representatives or successors of
Optionee) upon the occurrence of any such violation. 
  

	3.	Special Vesting and Forfeiture Terms 

 (a) Forfeiture Resulting From Acts Occurring During the Grant Year. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if it shall be determined at any time subsequent to the Grant Date that Optionee
has, during the year in which the Grant Date occurs (the “Grant Year”), (i) failed to comply with Company policies and procedures, including the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, (ii) violated any law or regulation,
(iii) engaged in negligent or willful misconduct, or (iv) engaged in activity resulting in a significant or material Sarbanes-Oxley control deficiency, and such failure, violation, misconduct or activity (1) demonstrates an inadequate
sensitivity to the inherent risks of Optionee’s business line or functional area, and (2) results in, or is reasonably likely to result in, a material adverse impact (whether financial or reputational) on the Company or Optionee’s
business line or functional area, all or part of the Option granted under the Agreement that has not yet become vested at the time of such determination may be cancelled and, if so cancelled will not become exercisable. “Inadequate
sensitivity” to risk is demonstrated by imprudent activities that subject the Company to risk outcomes in future periods, including risks that may not be apparent at the time the activities are undertaken. 

  
 3 

 (b) Forfeiture of Option for Acts Occurring in Years other than the Grant Year.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement, if the Optionee receives one or more equity Awards in any years other than the Grant Year (an “Other Grant Year”) pursuant to an Award Agreement that contains a clause substantially
similar to paragraph (a) above, and it shall be determined that Optionee, as a result of risk-related behavior, should be subject to the forfeiture of all or part of any such Award granted in such Other Grant Year in accordance with the terms
of such clause, then the unvested portion of the Option granted under this Award shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent necessary to equal the Unsatisfied Forfeiture Value (as defined below). The term “Unsatisfied Forfeiture Value”
shall mean the value (as determined by the Incentive Review Committee in its absolute discretion) of any portion of the Award determined by the Incentive Review Committee to be subject to forfeiture with respect to the Other Grant Year (without
regard to whether or not some portion thereof has already vested) that has in fact vested prior to such determination by the Incentive Review Committee. All or a portion of the Option granted under this Award that has not yet become vested shall be
subject to forfeiture in order to satisfy as much as possible of the Unsatisfied Forfeiture Value, and the valuation of the Option for such purpose shall be determined in the absolute discretion of the Incentive Review Committee. 

 

	4.	Securities Law Compliance 

 The exercise of all or any portion of this Option shall only be effective at such time that the sale of Common Stock issued pursuant to such exercise will not violate any state or federal securities or
other laws. The Company is under no obligation to effect any registration of the stock subject to the Option under the Securities Act of 1933 or to effect any state registration or qualification of such Common Stock. The Company may, in its sole
discretion, defer the effectiveness of any full or partial exercise of the Option in order to ensure that the issuance of stock upon exercise will be in compliance with federal or state securities laws and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or
any other exchange upon which the Company’s Common Stock is traded. 
  

	5.	Method of Exercise of Option 

 Subject to the foregoing, the Option may be exercised in whole or part from time to time by contacting Morgan Stanley (or any other stock plan administrator selected by the Company in the future) in
accordance with procedures established by the Company. Information about exercising the Option can be accessed at USBnet or www.USBankHR.com, or such other resource as established by the Company. When exercising the Option, the number of shares as
to which the Option is being exercised must be specified and the purchase price must be paid. Optionee may, at Optionee’s election, pay the purchase price (a) by check payable to the Company, (b) in previously owned shares of the
Company’s Common Stock or (c) in any combination of the two, in each case having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the exercise date equal to the applicable exercise price. Optionee may, at Optionee’s election, exercise
the Option, in whole or in part, by providing the Company with an attestation that such previously owned shares of the Company’s Common Stock are owned by Optionee, in which case the number of previously owned shares having a Fair Market Value
equal to the exercise price (or appropriate portion of the exercise price) will be withheld from the number of shares issued to Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option. Previously owned shares used as provided in the two immediately
preceding sentences must have been owned by Optionee for a minimum of six months prior to the date of exercise of the Option for this method of payment to apply. In addition, if permitted under procedures adopted by the Company, Optionee may
exercise the Option using a cashless exercise procedure under which the Optionee receives the excess, if positive, of the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Shares with respect to the Option being exercised over the exercise price of
the Option for such Shares. 

  
 4 

	6.	Income Tax Withholding 

 To provide the Company with the opportunity to claim the benefit of any income tax deduction which may be available to it upon the exercise of the Option, and to comply with all applicable federal or
state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Optionee,
are withheld or collected from Optionee. Optionee may, at Optionee’s election, satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations by (i) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be delivered
upon exercise of such Option having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes or (ii) delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock other than the shares issuable upon exercise of such Option having a Fair Market Value equal to
the amount of such taxes. The election must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. 
  

	7.	Miscellaneous 

 (a)
The Agreement shall not give Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment with the Company or any Affiliate, nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate such employment at any time. In
addition, the Company or any Affiliate may at any time dismiss Optionee from employment, free from any liability or claim under the Plan. The holder of the Option will not be deemed to be the holder of any shares subject to the Option unless and
until the Option has been exercised and the purchase price of the shares purchased has been paid. 
 (b) Except pursuant to terms
approved by the “Committee”, the Option may not be transferred, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution to the extent provided in Section 2, and during Optionee’s lifetime the Option is exercisable only by Optionee
(or by Optionee’s guardian or legal representative in the case of Disability). 
 (c) In the event that any dividend or
other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, or other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase
or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affecting the stock subject to the Option would be reasonably likely to result in the diminution or enlargement of any of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Option (including, without limitation, the benefits or potential benefits of provisions relating to the term, vesting or exercisability of the Option, and any “change in control”
provision), the Committee shall, in order to prevent such diminution or enlargement of any such benefits or potential benefits, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of shares (or other securities or other property) subject to the Option
and (ii) the exercise price with respect to the Option; provided, however, that the number of shares covered by the Option shall always be a whole number. Without limiting the foregoing, if any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation, shall be effected in such a way
that holders of the Company’s Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or other assets with respect to or in exchange for such shares, Optionee shall have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the
terms and conditions specified in the Agreement and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately available for purchase and receivable upon the exercise of the Option, with appropriate adjustments to prevent diminution or
enlargement of benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Option, such shares of stock, other securities, cash or other assets as would have been issued or delivered to Optionee if Optionee had exercised the Option and
had received such shares of Common Stock prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor
corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to Optionee such shares of stock, securities, cash or other
assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Optionee may be entitled to purchase or receive. 

  
 5 

 (d) The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option reserve and keep available
such number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Agreement. 

(e) The Option is issued pursuant to the Plan and is subject to its terms. The Plan is available for inspection during business hours at
the principal office of the Company. In addition, the Plan can be accessed on the Morgan Stanley Benefit Access Website at www.benefitaccess.com (or the website of any other stock plan administrator selected by the Company in the future).
