THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY

Performance-Based

Stock Unit Award

(Dual Performance Goals)

     AWARD AGREEMENT, dated as of                             , between The Walt Disney Company, a Delaware
corporation (“Disney”), and                              (the “Participant”). This Award is granted on
                            , 200    (the “Date of Grant”) by the Compensation Committee of the Disney Board of
Directors (the “Committee”) pursuant to the terms of the 2002 Executive Performance Plan (the
“Plan”), and pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the
“Stock Plan”). The applicable terms of the Plan and the Stock Plan are incorporated herein by
reference, including the definitions of terms contained therein.

     Section 1. Stock Unit Award. Disney hereby grants to the Participant, on the terms
and conditions set forth herein, an Award of                   “Stock Units.” The Stock Units are notional
units of measurement denominated in Shares of Disney (i.e. one Stock Unit is
equivalent in value to one Share, subject to the terms hereof). The Stock Units represent an
unfunded, unsecured obligation of Disney. This Award is subdivided into “Tranche A” and “Tranche
B,” each of which constitute one half of the Award. Subject to the terms, conditions and
performance-based vesting requirements set forth herein, Tranche A of this Award will vest on the
second anniversary date of the Date of Grant and Tranche B on the fourth anniversary of the Date of
Grant.

     Section 2. Vesting Requirements. The vesting of this Award (other than pursuant to
accelerated vesting in certain circumstances as provided in Section 3 below) shall be subject to
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in each of subsections A, B and C of this
Section 2:

	 	A.	 	Total Stockholder Return Vesting Requirement. The vesting of
fifty percent (50%) of both Tranche A and Tranche B shall be subject to
performance vesting under this Section 2.A. This performance vesting
requirement, which is applicable on both the second and fourth anniversary
dates of the Date of Grant), shall be satisfied if Total Shareholder Return (as
defined below) of Disney, determined on the relevant anniversary date as
provided below, exceeds the Total Shareholder Return for the Standard & Poor’s
500 Composite Stock Index (the “Reference TSR”) over either (i) the period of
one year preceding the applicable anniversary date or (ii) the period of three
years preceding the applicable anniversary date. “Total Shareholder Return”
shall mean, for any given determination date, an amount equal to the average of
the total return figures, calculated on the basis of weekly periodicity, as
currently reported under “Comparative Returns” by Bloomberg L.P. (or any other
reporting service that the Committee may designate from time to time) (i) for
Disney and (ii) for the Reference TSR (which is designated by Bloomberg L.P. as
the “S&P 500 Index”), as the case may be, for each of the four weeks
immediately preceding the determination date, it being

 

 

	 	 	 	understood that if any such determination is made on the last trading day of
any week, then that week shall be treated as a preceding week.
	 
	 	 	 	If the performance vesting requirements of this Section 2.A are not
satisfied for Tranche A on the second anniversary date of the Date of Grant,
then 50% of Tranche A shall not vest on that date. However, such 50%
portion of Tranche A shall not be forfeited at that time and shall vest if
and when the performance vesting requirements set forth in this Section 2.A
applicable on the fourth anniversary date hereof are achieved. If the
performance vesting requirements applicable on the fourth anniversary of the
Date of Grant are not met, then the 50% portions of Tranche A and Tranche B
subject to vesting under this Section 2.A that are not then vested shall be
immediately forfeited and the Participant’s rights with respect thereto
shall cease.
	 
	 	B.	 	Section 162(m) Vesting Requirement. This Award shall also be
subject to additional performance vesting requirements under this Section 2.B
with respect to 100% of both Tranche A and Tranche B, based upon the
achievement of the Performance Targets applicable to the Performance Periods
specified below, subject to certification of achievement of such Performance
Targets by the Committee pursuant to Section 4.8 of the Plan. The respective
Performance Targets (and the Business Criteria to which they relate) shall be
established by the Committee not later than 90 days following the beginning of
each Performance Period. If the Performance Target for a Performance Period is
not satisfied, the applicable portion of the Award (i.e.,
Tranche A or Tranche B) shall be immediately forfeited in its entirety. The
Performance Periods for the Stock Units granted hereunder shall be as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Performance Period
	 	Stock Units

	 

	 	Fiscal 200    and 200   

(October 1, 200     - September
30, 200    )
	 	Tranche A (         Stock Units)
	

	 	Fiscal 200    and 200   

(October 1, 200    - September
30, 200    )
	 	Tranche B (         Stock Units)

	 	C.	 	Service Vesting Requirement. In addition to the performance
vesting requirements of subsections A and B of this Section 2, the right of the
Participant to receive payment of this Award shall become vested only if he or
she remains continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate from the date
hereof until the later of (i) the last day of the Performance Period specified
above in Section 2.B with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B, as applicable, and
(ii) the date that the relevant portion of this Award (i.e.,
Tranche A or Tranche B) satisfies the applicable performance vesting

2

 

	 	 	 	requirement as provided in Section 2.A hereof; provided,
however, that, nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to modify,
qualify, or otherwise derogate from, the requirement of Section 4.8 of the
Plan that the Committee certify in writing that the applicable Performance
Targets of Section 2.B above have been satisfied prior to the payment of
any amount to the Participant under this Award.
	 
	 	 	 	If the service vesting requirements of this Section 2.C are not satisfied
for Tranche A or Tranche B, respectively, the applicable number of Stock
Units shall be immediately forfeited and the Participant’s rights with
respect thereto shall cease.

All Stock Units for which all of the requirements of this Section 2 have been satisfied shall
become vested and shall thereafter be payable in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

     Section 3. Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of
Section 2 hereof, upon the Participant’s death or disability (within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code), or upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event within the 12-month
period following a Change in Control (in accordance with Section 11 of the Stock Plan as in effect
on the date hereof), this Award shall become fully vested and shall be payable in accordance with
Section 5 hereof to the extent that it has not previously been forfeited. In addition, if the
Participant is employed pursuant to an employment agreement with Disney, any provisions thereof
relating to the effect of a termination of the Participant’s employment upon his or her rights
with respect to this Award, including, without limitation, any provisions regarding acceleration
of vesting and/or payment of this Award in the event of termination of employment, shall be fully
applicable and supersede any provisions hereof with respect to the same subject matter.

     Section 4. Dividend Equivalents. Any dividends paid in cash on Shares of
Disney will be credited to the Participant as additional Stock Units as if the Stock Units
previously held by the Participant were outstanding Shares, as follows: such credit shall be made
in whole and/or fractional Stock Units and shall be based on the fair market value (as defined in
the Stock Plan) of the Shares on the date of payment of such dividend. All such additional Stock
Units shall be subject to the same vesting requirements applicable to the Stock Units in respect of
which they were credited and shall be payable in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

     Section 5. Payment of Award. Payment of vested Stock Units shall be made
within 30 days following the later of:

	 	(i)	 	the applicable date under Section 2.C hereof as of which all of the applicable
vesting requirements under Section 2 hereof shall have been satisfied for Tranche A or
Tranche B, as applicable, or

	 	(ii)	 	the date of certification of achievement of the applicable Performance Targets
by the Committee as required under Section 2.B hereof,

3

 

(or within 30 days following acceleration of vesting under Section 3 hereof, if applicable). The
Stock Units shall be paid in cash or in Shares (or some combination thereof), as determined by the
Committee in its discretion at the time of payment, and in either case shall be paid to the
Participant after deduction of applicable withholding taxes in the amount determined by the
Committee, provided that such amount shall not exceed the Participant’s estimated Federal, state
and local tax obligation with respect to payment of the Award.

     Section 6. Restrictions on Transfer. Neither this Stock Unit Award nor any
Stock Units covered hereby may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged
by the Participant, other than to Disney as a result of forfeiture of the units as provided herein
and as provided in Section 6 of the Plan. The Stock Units constitute Restricted Units as defined
in Section 2.2 of the Plan.

     Section 7. No Voting Rights. The Stock Units granted pursuant to this Award,
whether or not vested, will not confer any voting rights upon the Participant, unless and until the
Award is paid in Shares.

     Section 8. Award Subject to Plans. This Stock Unit Award is subject to the
terms of the Plan and the Stock Plan, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated by
reference. In the event of a conflict or ambiguity between any term or provision contained herein
and a term or provision of the Plan or the Stock Plan, the Plan or the Stock Plan (as applicable)
will govern and prevail.

     Section 9. Changes in Capitalization. The Stock Units under this Award shall
be subject to the provisions of the Stock Plan relating to adjustments for changes in corporate
capitalization.

     Section 10. No Right of Employment. Nothing in this Award Agreement shall
confer upon the Participant any right to continue as an employee of Disney or an Affiliate nor
interfere in any way with the right of Disney or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s
employment at any time or to change the terms and conditions of such employment.

     Section 11. Governing Law. This Award Agreement shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the choice
of law principles thereof.

Form of Agreement

THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY

Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreement

[Seven-year Form]

This AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is between you, Participant Name, and The Walt
Disney Company (“Disney”), in connection with the Non-Qualified Stock Option Award (the “Option”)
granted to you on Grant Date, by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
Disney pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Incentive Plan and Rules
relating to Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (together, the “Plan”), the applicable
terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this
Agreement.

This Option gives you the opportunity to purchase ### shares of
Common Stock of The Walt
Disney Company at an exercise price of $Option Price per share. The exercise price is the
average of the highest and the lowest market prices for the Common Stock on the above grant date as
determined pursuant to the Plan.

This Option may not be exercised before First Vest Date. On or after that date, subject to
your continued employment by Disney or an affiliated company (as described further below) and to
the other provisions of the Plan, you may exercise the Option with respect to the number of shares
set forth opposite the first date below. As the subsequent dates set forth below occur, you may
exercise as to the number of shares set forth opposite those dates:

	 	 	 	 	 
	

	 	Vest Date 1
	 	Exercise Qty 1 Shares
	 
	 	 	 	 
	

	 	Vest Date 2
	 	Exercise Qty 2 Shares
	 
	 	 	 	 
	

	 	Vest Date 3
	 	Exercise Qty 3 Shares
	 
	 	 	 	 
	

	 	Vest Date 4
	 	Exercise Qty 4 Shares

Provided your employment continues, the term of this Option is seven years from the grant date and,
therefore, expires on Expiration Date. If your employment should cease prior to the date
on which your grant expires, your right to vest and exercise under the Option will be subject to
early termination as provided in Section 4 of the Rules relating to Stock Options under the Plan.
Except under certain circumstances specified in Section 4, you will generally have the right of
continued vesting for three months following the date of termination of your employment, and during
that three-month period you will have the right to exercise the shares covered by the

 

 

Form of Agreement

Option that
were vested on the date of termination, and any shares that vest during the three-month period will
then be exercisable for the remainder of that period. If you are employed pursuant to an
employment agreement with Disney, any provisions thereof relating to the effect of a termination of
your employment upon your rights under this Option shall supercede the provisions hereof relating
to the same subject matter, but in no event shall the restriction on sale of shares acquired upon
the exercise of the Option referred to below apply after any termination of your employment with
Disney.

You may exercise this Option as to all or part of the number of shares covered by the Option which
are then vested by paying the aggregate exercise price and applicable withholding taxes on the
gross gain. You will be provided with additional information at the time of exercise about the
methods available for exercising your Option and paying your withholding taxes, in accordance with
the methods of exercising options permitted under Section 2 and Section 5 of the Rules relating to
Stock Options under the Plan. You are urged to seek advice from your tax accountant or attorney
when making decisions regarding the exercise of this Option. This Option may not be transferred or
assigned.

Notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, you agree by acceptance of this Option that,
except for certain shares (the “Tax-Available Shares”) that may be sold to pay taxes up to the
Maximum Tax Liability (as defined below) upon an exercise of a portion of, or all of, this Option,
you will hold, for not less than twelve months from the date of exercise of this Option, shares
representing no less than [seventy-five percent (75%)] [one hundred percent (100%)] of the shares
acquired by you (other than Tax-Available Shares) upon such exercise. For purposes hereof the term
“Maximum Tax Liability” shall mean the amount calculated by multiplying total income recognized, as
reported by Disney for Federal income tax purposes, upon an exercise of this Option, by a
percentage determined as follows:

          FR + SR (100-FR) + MR

where:

     FR = the highest Federal income tax rate in effect at time of exercise of the Option;

     SR = the highest state income tax rate, if any, in effect at the time of exercise of the Option in
the state where your principle Disney office is located; and

 

 

Form of Agreement

     MR = the Medicare tax rate in effect at time of exercise of the Option.

The number of whole shares acquired upon any exercise of the Options that may be sold to discharge
the Maximum Tax Liability shall be determined by dividing the Maximum Tax Liability by the fair
market value (as defined in Section 2 of the Rules relating to the Plan) of one share of Disney
common stock on the date of exercise of the Option and disregarding any fractional amount resulting
from such calculation. For the purposes hereof, your commitment to hold the percentage of shares
referred to above for not less than twelve months shall constitute and undertaking by you not to
sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, except for certain transfers to
“family members” and certain others permitted with the prior approval of the Committee pursuant to
Section 9(b) of the Plan, any of such shares during such period.

Please sign this Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreement where indicated below. Your signature
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and evidences your agreement to be bound by all the
terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Plan.
