This Award is granted on the Grant Date by Tyson Foods, Inc., a Delaware corporation, to the Team Member (hereinafter referred to as “you”) identified on the cover page of this Restricted Stock Units Award Agreement (the “Award” as embodied by this “Award Agreement”).
1.Terms and Conditions.  The Award of Restricted Stock Units (as set forth on the cover page of this Award Agreement ) is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Tyson Foods, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan or any successors thereto, as such plan or its successors may be amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”).  Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Stock upon satisfaction of the vesting requirements and other terms and conditions as set forth herein and is granted pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Plan.  Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Award Agreement shall have the meaning stated in the Plan.  Please see the Plan document for more information on these terms and conditions.  A copy of the Plan is available upon request.
2.Definitions.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(i)    “Cause” shall mean a Termination of Employment as a result of the occurrence of one or more of the following events:
(a)    Job-related misconduct or non-performance of duties;
(b)    Violation of the policies of Tyson (including a violation of the Code of Conduct);
(c)    Any willful and wrongful conduct or omission by you that injures Tyson;
(d)    Any act by you of intentional misrepresentation or embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of assets of Tyson;
(e)    You are convicted of, confess to, plead no contest to, or become the subject of proceedings that provide a reasonable basis for Tyson to believe that you have been engaged in a felony, serious crime, job-related misdemeanor, or similar offense; 
(f)    Your intentional or willful violation of any restrictive covenant or other agreement to which you are a party with Tyson; or
(g)    If you are employed outside of the United States, the occurrence of any event that constitutes egregious conduct and provides legal grounds for an immediate Termination of Employment as determined pursuant to local laws.
For purposes of this Award Agreement an act or failure to act shall be considered “willful” only if done or omitted to be done without your good faith reasonable belief that such act or failure to act was in the best interests of Tyson.  In no event shall your Employer's failure to notify you of the occurrence of any event constituting Cause, or failure to terminate you as a result of such event, be construed as a consent to the occurrence of that event or future events, whether or not similar to the initial occurrence, or a waiver of your Employer's right to terminate you for Cause as a result thereof.

(ii)    “Change in Control” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan but shall not include any event as a result of which one or more of the following persons or entities possess or continues to possess, immediately after such event, over fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of Tyson or, if applicable, a successor entity: (a) Tyson Limited Partnership, or any successor entity; (b) individuals related to the late Donald John Tyson by blood, marriage or adoption, or the estate of any such individual (including Donald John Tyson’s); or (c) any entity (including, but not limited to, a partnership, corporation, trust or limited liability company) in which one or more of the entities, individuals or estates described in clauses (a) and (b) hereof possess over fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power or beneficial interests of such entity.
(iii)    “Disability” shall have the same meaning as provided in the long-term disability plan or policy maintained or, if applicable, most recently maintained, by Tyson or your Employer.  If no long-term disability plan or policy exists or was ever maintained on your behalf and you are employed in the United States, “Disability” shall mean a condition described in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as amended, or any successors thereto, and any regulations or rulings issued thereunder.  If no long-term disability plan or policy exists or was ever maintained on your behalf and you are employed outside of the United States, “Disability” shall such meaning as determined pursuant to local laws.  In the event of a dispute, the determination of Disability will be made by the Committee (as defined in the Plan) and will be supported by the advice of a physician competent in the area to which such Disability relates.
(iv)    “Employer” shall mean, to the extent you are not directly employed by Tyson, the Affiliate that employs you.
(v)    “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following actions or events without your written consent; provided that you may not rely on any particular action or event as a basis for terminating your employment for Good Reason unless you deliver a Notice of Good Reason based on that action or event within thirty (30) days of its initial occurrence and Tyson (or its successors) has failed to correct the circumstances cited by you as constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days of such Notice of Good Reason and you resign within thirty (30) days of such failure:
(a)    A material diminution in authority, duties or responsibilities (not merely a change in job title alone);
(b)    Greater than a fifteen percent (15%) decrease in the total of your then-current (i) base salary, (ii) target annual cash award opportunity under the Tyson Foods, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan, or any successors thereto, as such plan or its successors may be amended or restated from time to time, as determined by Tyson in its sole discretion, and (iii) target grant date value of the annual long-term incentive award under the Plan, as determined by Tyson in its sole discretion;
(c)    Transfer of your primary employment location beyond fifty (50) miles;
(d)    The failure by Tyson to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform the obligations under this Award Agreement for at least twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control; or

(e)    If you are employed outside of the United States, the occurrence of any event that provides legal grounds for an immediate resignation of employment as determined pursuant to local laws.
(vi)    “Release” shall mean that specific document which Tyson or your Employer, as applicable, shall present to you for consideration and execution after your Termination of Employment, under which you agree to irrevocably and unconditionally release and forever discharge Tyson, your Employer, and the Affiliates and related parties from any and all causes of action which you at that time had or may have had against Tyson, your Employer and any Affiliates and related parties (excluding any claim under state workers’ compensation or unemployment laws).  The Release will be provided to you as soon as practicable after your termination date, but in any event in sufficient time so that you will have adequate time to review the Release as provided by applicable law.
(vii)    “Retirement” shall mean your voluntary Termination of Employment from Tyson or your Employer, as applicable, on or after the later of the first anniversary of the Grant Date or the date you attain age sixty-two (62).
(viii)    “Termination of Employment” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan but, in the event of a Change in Control, any successor and its affiliates shall replace Tyson and its Affiliates in interpreting the meaning of a Termination of Employment.
(ix)    “Tyson” shall mean Tyson Foods, Inc. or any successor thereto.
3.Dividend Equivalents. In the event a cash dividend is declared on the Stock and the record date for such dividend occurs between the Grant Date and the date that the Award vests pursuant to Section 4 of this Award Agreement, you shall be credited, as of the payable date for such dividend, with an additional number of Restricted Stock Units (each, an “Additional RSU”) equal to the number of additional shares of Stock that could have been purchased with the dividends if you had received the dividend payments on your Restricted Stock Units. For this purpose, the purchase price of Stock shall be deemed to be the per share closing price of the Stock on the payable date of the dividend. Once credited, each Additional RSU shall be treated as a Restricted Stock Unit granted hereunder and shall be subject to all terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement including, but not limited to, the forfeiture provisions and Vesting Schedule set forth in Section 4 of this Award Agreement.
4.Vesting.  
4.1.Vesting Schedule and Forfeiture. The Award shall vest pursuant to the foregoing Vesting Schedule and shall be considered as fully earned by you on the Vesting Date, subject to the further provisions of this Section 4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, any Award will be forfeited back to Tyson in the event of your Termination of Employment before the Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.2 through 4.4.  The events described in Sections 4.2 through 4.4 are referred to herein as “Vesting Events.”  
4.2.Death, Disability or Retirement.  In the event of your Termination of Employment due to death, Disability or Retirement before the Vesting Date, you will fully vest in your Award as of the date of your Termination of Employment due to death, Disability or Retirement.  

4.3.Termination by Tyson without Cause or by you for Good Reason.  In the event of your Termination of Employment by Tyson for reasons other than for Cause or by you for Good Reason, you will become vested in a pro rata portion of the Award subject to your timely execution and non-revocation of a Release.  The pro rata portion of the Award shall be determined by multiplying the number of unvested Restricted Stock Unit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days that you were employed by Tyson between the Grant Date and your Termination of Employment and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the entire vesting period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of your Termination of Employment by Tyson for reasons other than for Cause or by you for Good Reason on or after the later of the first anniversary of the Grant Date or the date you attain age 62, you will be fully vested in the Award subject to your timely execution and non-revocation of a Release. 
4.4.Change in Control.  Following a Change in Control that occurs before the Award becomes vested, you will become fully vested in the Award upon the occurrence of either of the following events, provided such event occurs no later than twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control (to the extent the Award has not otherwise become fully vested prior to such event): (i) you experience a Termination of Employment by Tyson or your Employer, as applicable, without Cause or (ii) you resign from your employment on account of Good Reason.  
5.Delivery of Stock.    To the extent the Award becomes vested and earned, it will be settled by the delivery to you of one share of Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit as soon as administratively practicable following the Vesting Date or Vesting Event (but in no event later than 60 days following the Vesting Date).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, settle each vested Restricted Stock Unit in the form of: (a) cash, to the extent settlement in shares of Stock (i) is prohibited under applicable laws, (ii) would require you, Tyson or your Employer to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different), or (iii) is administratively burdensome or (b) shares of Stock, but Tyson may require you to immediately sell such shares of Stock if necessary to comply with applicable laws (in which case, you hereby expressly authorize Tyson to issue sales instructions in relation to such shares of Stock on your behalf).
6.Withholding Taxes.  Regardless of any action Tyson or your Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that Tyson and your Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the Award, the vesting of the Award, the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Award and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

Prior to the delivery of shares of Stock (or cash) upon the vesting of the Award, if your country of residence (and country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, Tyson shall withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the Award that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the shares of Stock or the cash equivalent.  Depending on the withholding method specified in the Plan, Tyson may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates.  The cash equivalent of the shares of Stock withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items.  In the event that the withholding of shares of Stock is prohibited under applicable law or otherwise may trigger adverse consequences to Tyson or your Employer, Tyson and your Employer may withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the shares of Stock in cash from your regular salary and/or wages or any other amounts payable to you, or may require you to personally make payment of the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld.  In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares of Stock by Tyson or through the withholding of cash from your regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you, no shares of Stock will be issued to you (or your estate) upon vesting of the Award unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that Tyson or your Employer determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Award.  If the obligation for your Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares of Stock as described herein, you shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock issuable upon vesting, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the vesting or any other aspect of the Award.
You will pay to Tyson or your Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Tyson or your Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan or your acquisition of shares of Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means described herein.  The Company may refuse to deliver any shares of Stock due upon vesting of the Award if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described herein. If you are subject to taxation in more than one country, you acknowledge that Tyson, your Employer or one or more of their respective Affiliates may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.  You hereby consent to any action reasonably taken by Tyson and your Employer to meet your obligation for Tax-Related Items.  By accepting this Award, you expressly consent to the withholding of shares of Stock and/or withholding from your regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder.  All other Tax-Related Items related to the Award and any shares of Stock delivered in payment thereof shall be your sole responsibility.

7.Clawback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, by executing this Award Agreement and accepting the Award, you agree and consent to the application and enforcement of any clawback policy that may be implemented by Tyson (whether in existence as of the Grant Date or later adopted, and as such policy may be amended from time to time) that may apply to you, any shares of Stock issued pursuant to this Award and/or any amount received with respect to any sale of any such shares of Stock, and you expressly agree that Tyson may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate the enforcement of such policy without your further consent or action.  For purposes of the foregoing, you expressly and explicitly authorize Tyson to issue instructions, on your behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by Tyson to hold your shares of Stock and other amounts acquired pursuant to your Award to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares of Stock and/or other amounts to Tyson upon Tyson's enforcement of such policy.  To the extent that the terms of this Award and any such policy conflict, then the terms of such policy shall prevail.
8.Right of the Committee.  The Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Award Agreement, all of which shall be binding.
9.Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or a portion thereof contained in this Award Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provision of this Award Agreement, and this Award Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein.
10.Entire Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Award Agreement expresses the entire understanding and agreement of Tyson and you with respect to the subject matter.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Award Agreement and the terms applicable to stock incentive awards set forth in any employment agreement, offer letter, or other agreement or arrangement that you have entered into with Tyson and/or its Affiliates, the former will always control. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the terms of this Award Agreement, the provisions of the Plan will control unless this Award Agreement explicitly states that an exception to the Plan is being made. The Award has been made pursuant to the Plan and an administrative record is maintained by the Committee.
11.Nontransferability.  The Award shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  If you purport to make any transfer of the Award, except as aforesaid, the Award and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately.
12.Legal and Tax Compliance; Cooperation.  If you are resident and/or employed outside of the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Award, to repatriate all payments attributable to the shares of Stock and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents and any proceeds derived from the sale of the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Award) if required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different).  In addition, you also agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by Tyson and its Affiliates, as may be required to allow Tyson and its Affiliates to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different).  Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different).

13.Data Privacy Consent. Tyson is located at 2200 West Don Tyson Parkway, Springdale, Arkansas 72762-6999, United States of America, and grants Awards under the Plan to employees of Tyson and its Affiliates in its sole discretion. In conjunction with Tyson’s grant of Awards under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such Awards, Tyson is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices (“Personal Data Activities”). In accepting the grant of this Award, you expressly and explicitly consent to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.
13.1.Data Collection, Processing and Usage.  Tyson collects, processes and uses your personal data, including your name, home address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in Tyson, and details of all Award or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which Tyson receives from you or your Employer. In granting the Award under the Plan, Tyson will collect, process and use your personal data for purposes of allocating shares of Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Tyson’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of your personal data for this purpose is your consent.   
Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. Tyson may transfer your personal data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists Tyson Foods with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”).  In the future, Tyson may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan.
13.2.International Data Transfers. Tyson and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. You should note that your country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. Tyson's legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is your consent.
13.3.Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Your participation in the Plan and your grant of consent is purely voluntary. You may deny or withdraw your consent at any time. If you do not consent, or if you later withdraw your consent, you may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect your existing employment with your Employer or salary; instead, you merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
13.4.Data Subjects Rights. You may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data Tyson processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data. To receive clarification regarding your rights or to exercise your rights, you should contact your local human resources department.
14.Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Award Agreement.

15.Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Award Agreement, the party or parties who are thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and an injunction in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
16.No Vested Right in Future Awards.  You acknowledge and agree that the granting of the Award under this Award Agreement is made on a fully discretionary basis by Tyson and that this Award Agreement does not lead to a vested right to further awards of any type in the future.  Further, the Award set forth in this Award Agreement constitutes a non-recurrent benefit and the terms of this Award Agreement are applicable only to the Award granted pursuant to this Award Agreement.
17.No Right to Continued Employment.  You acknowledge and agree (through electronic acknowledgment and acceptance of this Award Agreement) that neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of any award shall confer any right to continued employment with Tyson, nor shall it interfere in any way with Tyson’s right to terminate your employment at any time for any reason. 
18.EU Age Discrimination Rules. If you are a local national of and are employed in a country that is a member of the European Union, the Award and this Award Agreement are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Award Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, Tyson, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under the applicable law.
19.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the Plan, you agree to comply with Tyson’s policy on insider trading (to the extent that it is applicable to you).  You further acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker’s country of residence or where the shares of Stock are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., Award) or rights linked to the value of shares of Stock, during such times you are considered to have “inside information” regarding Tyson as defined by the laws or regulations in your country of residence (or country of employment, if different). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you place before you possessed inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (b) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. You understand that third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Tyson insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your personal responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that you should consult with your personal advisor on this matter.

20.Private Placement.  If you are a resident and/or employed outside of the United States, you acknowledge that the grant of the Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different).  You further acknowledge that Tyson has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with any securities authority other than the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the grant of the Award, unless otherwise required under local law.  No employee of Tyson is permitted to advise you on whether you should acquire shares of Stock under the Plan or provide you with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the Award.  The acquisition of shares of Stock involves certain risks, and you should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of shares of Stock under the Plan and the disposition of them.  Further, you should carefully review all of the materials related to the Award and the Plan, and you should consult with your personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to your personal circumstances.
21.Reduction to Maximize After-Tax Benefits.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the total payments to be paid to you under this Award, along with any other payments to you by Tyson, would result in you being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (commonly referred to as the “Golden Parachute Tax”), Tyson shall reduce the aggregate payments to the largest amount which can be paid to you without triggering the excise tax, but only if and to the extent that such reduction would result in you retaining larger aggregate after-tax payments.  The determination of the excise tax and the aggregate after-tax payments to be received by you will be made by Tyson, in its sole discretion.  If payments are to be reduced, the payments made latest in time will be reduced first and if payments are to be made at the same time, non-cash payments will be reduced before cash payments.
22.Governing Law; Venue.  The Plan, this Award Agreement and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan or Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.  Any disputes regarding this Award, the Award Agreement or the Plan shall be brought only in the United States in the state or federal courts of the state of Delaware.
23.Electronic Delivery.  Tyson may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Award or other awards granted to you under the Plan by electronic means.  You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Tyson or a third party designated by Tyson.
24.Successors and Assigns.  This Award Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor and assign of Tyson.  All obligations imposed upon you, and all rights granted to Tyson hereunder, shall be binding upon your heirs, successors and administrators.
25.English Language. If you are resident and/or employed outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that this Award Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Award, be drawn up in English. If you have received this Award Agreement, the Plan or any other documents related to the Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the meaning of the English version shall control.

26.Addendum. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country of residence (and country of employment, if different), as are set forth in an applicable Addendum to this Award Agreement. Further, if you transfer residence and/or employment to another country reflected in an Addendum to this Award Agreement, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent Tyson determines, in its discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws, rules, and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan (or Tyson may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer).  Any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of this Award Agreement.
27.Additional Requirements; Amendments.  Tyson reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Award, any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Award and your participation in the Plan to the extent Tyson determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan.  Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring you to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.  In addition, Tyson reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions reflected in this Award Agreement, without your consent, either prospectively or retroactively, to the extent that such amendment does not materially affect your rights under the Award except as otherwise permitted under the Plan or this Award Agreement.

28.7.The future value of the shares of Stock subject to the Award is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and if the Award vests and the shares of Stock become issuable in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement, the value of those shares of Stock may increase or decrease.

2000 STOCK Incentive PLAN

ADDENDUM TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AWARD AGREEMENT

In addition to the provisions of the Tyson Foods, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the Award Agreement, the Award is subject to the following additional Terms and Conditions (this “Addendum”).  All defined terms as contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan and the Award Agreement.  If you transfer residence and/or employment to another country reflected in this Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent Tyson determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of your Award and the Plan (or Tyson may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or desirable to accommodate your transfer). 
EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”) / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”) / THE UNITED KINGDOM
1.    Data Privacy. If you reside and/or are employed in the EU/EEA or the United Kingdom, the following provisions replace Section 13 of the Award Agreement:
Tyson is located at 2200 West Don Tyson Parkway, Springdale, Arkansas 72762-6999, United States of America, and grants Awards under the Plan to employees of Tyson and its Affiliates in its sole discretion. In conjunction with Tyson's grant of Awards under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such Awards, Tyson is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices, which you should carefully review.
(a)Data Collection, Processing and Usage.  Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, you are hereby notified that Tyson collects, processes, and uses certain personally-identifiable information about you; specifically, including your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in Tyson, and details of all Award or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which Tyson receives from you or your Employer. In granting the Award under the Plan, Tyson will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating shares of Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Tyson collects, processes and uses your personal data pursuant to Tyson's legitimate interest of managing the Plan and generally administering employee equity awards and to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of the Award Agreement. Your refusal to provide personal data may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, you voluntarily acknowledge the collection, processing and use of your personal data as described herein.

(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. Tyson may transfer your personal data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists Tyson Foods with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”).  In the future, Tyson may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. Tyson and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States.  Tyson can only meet its contractual obligations to you if your personal data is transferred to the United States. Tyson's legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of the Award Agreement and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.
(d)Data Retention. Tyson will use your personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When Tyson no longer needs your personal data, Tyson will remove it from its systems.  If Tyson keeps your data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and Tyson's legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.
(e)Data Subjects Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data Tyson processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data.  To receive clarification regarding your rights or to exercise your rights, you should contact your local HR manager or Tyson's Human Resources Department.

UNITED KINGDOM
1.    Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding.  The following provisions shall supplement Section 6 of the Award Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 6 of the Award Agreement, you hereby agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby consent to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by Tyson, your Employer or by the HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You hereby agree to indemnify and keep indemnified Tyson and your Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold on your behalf or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by you within ninety (90) days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that you ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing Tyson or your Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which Tyson and/or your Employer may recover from you at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 6 of the Award Agreement.
2.    Exclusion of Claim.  You acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages, insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to vest in the Award as a result of such termination (whether the termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Award.  Upon the grant of the Award, you shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any such entitlement.

Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Award Agreement shall have the meaning stated in the Plan.  Please see the Plan document for more information on these terms and conditions.  A copy of the Plan is available upon request.
2.Definitions.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(i)    “Cause” shall mean a Termination of Employment as a result of the occurrence of one or more of the following events:
(a)    Job-related misconduct or non-performance of duties;
(b)    Violation of the policies of Tyson (including a violation of the Code of Conduct);
(c)    Any willful and wrongful conduct or omission by you that injures Tyson;
(d)    Any act by you of intentional misrepresentation or embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of assets of Tyson;

(f)    Your intentional or willful violation of any restrictive covenant or other agreement to which you are a party with Tyson; or
(g)    If you are employed outside of the United States, the occurrence of any event that constitutes egregious conduct and provides legal grounds for an immediate Termination of Employment as determined pursuant to local laws.
For purposes of this Award Agreement an act or failure to act shall be considered “willful” only if done or omitted to be done without your good faith reasonable belief that such act or failure to act was in the best interests of Tyson.  In no event shall your Employer's failure to notify you of the occurrence of any event constituting Cause, or failure to terminate you as a result of such event, be construed as a consent to the occurrence of that event or future events, whether or not similar to the initial occurrence, or a waiver of your Employer's right to terminate you for Cause as a result thereof.

(ii)    “Change in Control” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan but shall not include any event as a result of which one or more of the following persons or entities possess or continues to possess, immediately after such event, over fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of Tyson or, if applicable, a successor entity: (a) Tyson Limited Partnership, or any successor entity; (b) individuals related to the late Donald John Tyson by blood, marriage or adoption, or the estate of any such individual (including Donald John Tyson’s); or (c) any entity (including, but not limited to, a partnership, corporation, trust or limited liability company) in which one or more of the entities, individuals or estates described in clauses (a) and (b) hereof possess over fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power or beneficial interests of such entity.
(iii)    “Disability” shall have the same meaning as provided in the long-term disability plan or policy maintained or, if applicable, most recently maintained, by Tyson or your Employer.  If no long-term disability plan or policy exists or was ever maintained on your behalf and you are employed in the United States, “Disability” shall mean a condition described in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as amended, or any successors thereto, and any regulations or rulings issued thereunder.  If no long-term disability plan or policy exists or was ever maintained on your behalf and you are employed outside of the United States, “Disability” shall such meaning as determined pursuant to local laws.  In the event of a dispute, the determination of Disability will be made by the Committee (as defined in the Plan) and will be supported by the advice of a physician competent in the area to which such Disability relates.
(iv)    “Employer” shall mean, to the extent you are not directly employed by Tyson, the Affiliate that employs you.
(v)    “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following actions or events without your written consent; provided that you may not rely on any particular action or event as a basis for terminating your employment for Good Reason unless you deliver a Notice of Good Reason based on that action or event within thirty (30) days of its initial occurrence and Tyson (or its successors) has failed to correct the circumstances cited by you as constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days of such Notice of Good Reason and you resign within thirty (30) days of such failure:
(a)    A material diminution in authority, duties or responsibilities (not merely a change in job title alone);
(b)    Greater than a fifteen percent (15%) decrease in the total of your then-current (i) base salary, (ii) target annual cash award opportunity under the Tyson Foods, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan, or any successors thereto, as such plan or its successors may be amended or restated from time to time, as determined by Tyson in its sole discretion, and (iii) target grant date value of the annual long-term incentive award under the Plan, as determined by Tyson in its sole discretion;
(c)    Transfer of your primary employment location beyond fifty (50) miles;
(d)    The failure by Tyson to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform the obligations under this Award Agreement for at least twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control; 

(e)    Any action or event described in the above clauses (a)-(c) taken by Tyson prior to a Change in Control at the request of the other party to the Change in Control transaction or otherwise in contemplation of the closing of a Change in Control transaction; or
(f)    If you are employed outside of the United States, the occurrence of any event that provides legal grounds for an immediate resignation of employment as determined pursuant to local laws.
(vi)    “Release” shall mean that specific document which Tyson or your Employer, as applicable, shall present to you for consideration and execution after your Termination of Employment, under which you agree to irrevocably and unconditionally release and forever discharge Tyson, your Employer, and the Affiliates and related parties from any and all causes of action which you at that time had or may have had against Tyson, your Employer and any Affiliates and related parties (excluding any claim under state workers’ compensation or unemployment laws).  The Release will be provided to you as soon as practicable after your termination date, but in any event in sufficient time so that you will have adequate time to review the Release as provided by applicable law.
(vii)    “Retirement” shall mean your voluntary Termination of Employment from Tyson or your Employer, as applicable, on or after the later of the first anniversary of the Grant Date or the date you attain age sixty-two (62).
(viii)    “Termination of Employment” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan but, in the event of a Change in Control, any successor and its affiliates shall replace Tyson and its Affiliates in interpreting the meaning of a Termination of Employment.
(ix)    “Tyson” shall mean Tyson Foods, Inc. or any successor thereto.
3.Dividend Equivalents. In the event a cash dividend is declared on the Stock and the record date for such dividend occurs between the Grant Date and the date that the Award vests pursuant to Section 4 of this Award Agreement, you shall be credited, as of the payable date for such dividend, with an additional number of Restricted Stock Units (each, an “Additional RSU”) equal to the number of additional shares of Stock that could have been purchased with the dividends if you had received the dividend payments on your Restricted Stock Units. For this purpose, the purchase price of Stock shall be deemed to be the per share closing price of the Stock on the payable date of the dividend. Once credited, each Additional RSU shall be treated as a Restricted Stock Unit granted hereunder and shall be subject to all terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement including, but not limited to, the forfeiture provisions and Vesting Schedule set forth in Section 4 of this Award Agreement.
4.Vesting.  
4.1.Vesting Schedule and Forfeiture. The Award shall vest pursuant to the foregoing Vesting Schedule and shall be considered as fully earned by you on the Vesting Date, subject to the further provisions of this Section 4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, any Award will be forfeited back to Tyson in the event of your Termination of Employment before the Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.2 through 4.4.  The events described in Sections 4.2 through 4.4 are referred to herein as “Vesting Events.”  

4.2.Death, Disability or Retirement.  In the event of your Termination of Employment due to death, Disability or Retirement before the Vesting Date, you will fully vest in your Award as of the date of your Termination of Employment due to death, Disability or Retirement.  
4.3.Termination by Tyson without Cause.  In the event of your Termination of Employment by Tyson for reasons other than for Cause, you will become vested in a pro rata portion of the Award subject to your timely execution and non-revocation of a Release.  The pro rata portion of the Award shall be determined by multiplying the number of unvested Restricted Stock Unit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days that you were employed by Tyson between the Grant Date and your Termination of Employment and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the entire vesting period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of your Termination of Employment by Tyson for reasons other than for Cause on or after the later of the first anniversary of the Grant Date or the date you attain age 62, you will be fully vested in the Award subject to your timely execution and non-revocation of a Release. 
4.4.Change in Control.  Following a Change in Control that occurs before the Award becomes vested, you will become fully vested in the Award upon the occurrence of either of the following events, provided such event occurs no later than twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control (to the extent the Award has not otherwise become fully vested prior to such event): (i) you experience a Termination of Employment by Tyson or your Employer, as applicable, without Cause or (ii) you resign from your employment on account of Good Reason.  
5.Delivery of Stock.    To the extent the Award becomes vested and earned, it will be settled by the delivery to you of one share of Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit as soon as administratively practicable following the Vesting Date or Vesting Event (but in no event later than 60 days following the Vesting Date).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, settle each vested Restricted Stock Unit in the form of: (a) cash, to the extent settlement in shares of Stock (i) is prohibited under applicable laws, (ii) would require you, Tyson or your Employer to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different), or (iii) is administratively burdensome or (b) shares of Stock, but Tyson may require you to immediately sell such shares of Stock if necessary to comply with applicable laws (in which case, you hereby expressly authorize Tyson to issue sales instructions in relation to such shares of Stock on your behalf).

6.Withholding Taxes.  Regardless of any action Tyson or your Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that Tyson and your Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the Award, the vesting of the Award, the subsequent sale of any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Award and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.
Prior to the delivery of shares of Stock (or cash) upon the vesting of the Award, if your country of residence (and country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, Tyson shall withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the Award that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the shares of Stock or the cash equivalent.  Depending on the withholding method specified in the Plan, Tyson may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates.  The cash equivalent of the shares of Stock withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items.  In the event that the withholding of shares of Stock is prohibited under applicable law or otherwise may trigger adverse consequences to Tyson or your Employer, Tyson and your Employer may withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the shares of Stock in cash from your regular salary and/or wages or any other amounts payable to you, or may require you to personally make payment of the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld.  In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares of Stock by Tyson or through the withholding of cash from your regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you, no shares of Stock will be issued to you (or your estate) upon vesting of the Award unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that Tyson or your Employer determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Award.  If the obligation for your Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares of Stock as described herein, you shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock issuable upon vesting, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the vesting or any other aspect of the Award.
You will pay to Tyson or your Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Tyson or your Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan or your acquisition of shares of Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means described herein.  The Company may refuse to deliver any shares of Stock due upon vesting of the Award if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described herein. If you are subject to taxation in more than one country, you acknowledge that Tyson, your Employer or one or more of their respective Affiliates may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.  You hereby consent to any action reasonably taken by Tyson and your Employer to meet your obligation for Tax-Related Items.  By accepting this Award, you expressly consent to the withholding of shares of Stock and/or withholding from your regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder.  All other Tax-Related Items related to the Award and any shares of Stock delivered in payment thereof shall be your sole responsibility.

7.Clawback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, by executing this Award Agreement and accepting the Award, you agree and consent to the application and enforcement of any clawback policy that may be implemented by Tyson (whether in existence as of the Grant Date or later adopted, and as such policy may be amended from time to time) that may apply to you, any shares of Stock issued pursuant to this Award and/or any amount received with respect to any sale of any such shares of Stock, and you expressly agree that Tyson may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate the enforcement of such policy without your further consent or action.  For purposes of the foregoing, you expressly and explicitly authorize Tyson to issue instructions, on your behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by Tyson to hold your shares of Stock and other amounts acquired pursuant to your Award to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares of Stock and/or other amounts to Tyson upon Tyson's enforcement of such policy.  To the extent that the terms of this Award and any such policy conflict, then the terms of such policy shall prevail.
8.Right of the Committee.  The Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Award Agreement, all of which shall be binding.
9.Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or a portion thereof contained in this Award Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provision of this Award Agreement, and this Award Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein.
10.Entire Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Award Agreement expresses the entire understanding and agreement of Tyson and you with respect to the subject matter.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Award Agreement and the terms applicable to stock incentive awards set forth in any employment agreement, offer letter, or other agreement or arrangement that you have entered into with Tyson and/or its Affiliates, the former will always control. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the terms of this Award Agreement, the provisions of the Plan will control unless this Award Agreement explicitly states that an exception to the Plan is being made. The Award has been made pursuant to the Plan and an administrative record is maintained by the Committee.
11.Nontransferability.  The Award shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  If you purport to make any transfer of the Award, except as aforesaid, the Award and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately.
12.Legal and Tax Compliance; Cooperation.  If you are resident and/or employed outside of the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the Award, to repatriate all payments attributable to the shares of Stock and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents and any proceeds derived from the sale of the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Award) if required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different).  In addition, you also agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by Tyson and its Affiliates, as may be required to allow Tyson and its Affiliates to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different).  Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different).

13.Data Privacy Consent. Tyson is located at 2200 West Don Tyson Parkway, Springdale, Arkansas 72762-6999, United States of America, and grants Awards under the Plan to employees of Tyson and its Affiliates in its sole discretion. In conjunction with Tyson’s grant of Awards under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such Awards, Tyson is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices (“Personal Data Activities”). In accepting the grant of this Award, you expressly and explicitly consent to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.
13.1.Data Collection, Processing and Usage.  Tyson collects, processes and uses your personal data, including your name, home address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in Tyson, and details of all Award or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which Tyson receives from you or your Employer. In granting the Award under the Plan, Tyson will collect, process and use your personal data for purposes of allocating shares of Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Tyson’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of your personal data for this purpose is your consent.   
Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. Tyson may transfer your personal data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists Tyson Foods with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”).  In the future, Tyson may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan.
13.2.International Data Transfers. Tyson and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. You should note that your country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. Tyson's legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is your consent.
13.3.Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Your participation in the Plan and your grant of consent is purely voluntary. You may deny or withdraw your consent at any time. If you do not consent, or if you later withdraw your consent, you may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect your existing employment with your Employer or salary; instead, you merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
13.4.Data Subjects Rights. You may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data Tyson processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data. To receive clarification regarding your rights or to exercise your rights, you should contact your local human resources department.
14.Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Award Agreement.

15.Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Award Agreement, the party or parties who are thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and an injunction in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
16.No Vested Right in Future Awards.  You acknowledge and agree that the granting of the Award under this Award Agreement is made on a fully discretionary basis by Tyson and that this Award Agreement does not lead to a vested right to further awards of any type in the future.  Further, the Award set forth in this Award Agreement constitutes a non-recurrent benefit and the terms of this Award Agreement are applicable only to the Award granted pursuant to this Award Agreement.
17.No Right to Continued Employment.  You acknowledge and agree (through electronic acknowledgment and acceptance of this Award Agreement) that neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of any award shall confer any right to continued employment with Tyson, nor shall it interfere in any way with Tyson’s right to terminate your employment at any time for any reason. 
18.EU Age Discrimination Rules. If you are a local national of and are employed in a country that is a member of the European Union, the Award and this Award Agreement are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Award Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, Tyson, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under the applicable law.
19.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the Plan, you agree to comply with Tyson’s policy on insider trading (to the extent that it is applicable to you).  You further acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker’s country of residence or where the shares of Stock are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., Award) or rights linked to the value of shares of Stock, during such times you are considered to have “inside information” regarding Tyson as defined by the laws or regulations in your country of residence (or country of employment, if different). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you place before you possessed inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (b) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. You understand that third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Tyson insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your personal responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that you should consult with your personal advisor on this matter.

20.Private Placement.  If you are a resident and/or employed outside of the United States, you acknowledge that the grant of the Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different).  You further acknowledge that Tyson has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with any securities authority other than the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the grant of the Award, unless otherwise required under local law.  No employee of Tyson is permitted to advise you on whether you should acquire shares of Stock under the Plan or provide you with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the Award.  The acquisition of shares of Stock involves certain risks, and you should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of shares of Stock under the Plan and the disposition of them.  Further, you should carefully review all of the materials related to the Award and the Plan, and you should consult with your personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to your personal circumstances.
21.Reduction to Maximize After-Tax Benefits.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Award Agreement to the contrary, if the total payments to be paid to you under this Award, along with any other payments to you by Tyson, would result in you being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (commonly referred to as the “Golden Parachute Tax”), Tyson shall reduce the aggregate payments to the largest amount which can be paid to you without triggering the excise tax, but only if and to the extent that such reduction would result in you retaining larger aggregate after-tax payments.  The determination of the excise tax and the aggregate after-tax payments to be received by you will be made by Tyson, in its sole discretion.  If payments are to be reduced, the payments made latest in time will be reduced first and if payments are to be made at the same time, non-cash payments will be reduced before cash payments.
22.Governing Law; Venue.  The Plan, this Award Agreement and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan or Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.  Any disputes regarding this Award, the Award Agreement or the Plan shall be brought only in the United States in the state or federal courts of the state of Delaware.
23.Electronic Delivery.  Tyson may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Award or other awards granted to you under the Plan by electronic means.  You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Tyson or a third party designated by Tyson.
24.Successors and Assigns.  This Award Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor and assign of Tyson.  All obligations imposed upon you, and all rights granted to Tyson hereunder, shall be binding upon your heirs, successors and administrators.
25.English Language. If you are resident and/or employed outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that this Award Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Award, be drawn up in English. If you have received this Award Agreement, the Plan or any other documents related to the Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the meaning of the English version shall control.

26.Addendum. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country of residence (and country of employment, if different), as are set forth in an applicable Addendum to this Award Agreement. Further, if you transfer residence and/or employment to another country reflected in an Addendum to this Award Agreement, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent Tyson determines, in its discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws, rules, and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan (or Tyson may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer).  Any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of this Award Agreement.
27.Additional Requirements; Amendments.  Tyson reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Award, any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Award and your participation in the Plan to the extent Tyson determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan.  Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring you to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

2000 STOCK Incentive PLAN

ADDENDUM TO 
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AWARD AGREEMENT

In addition to the provisions of the Tyson Foods, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the Award Agreement, the Award is subject to the following additional Terms and Conditions (this “Addendum”).  All defined terms as contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan and the Award Agreement.  If you transfer residence and/or employment to another country reflected in this Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent Tyson determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of your Award and the Plan (or Tyson may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or desirable to accommodate your transfer). 
EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”) / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”) / THE UNITED KINGDOM
1.    Data Privacy. If you reside and/or are employed in the EU/EEA or the United Kingdom, the following provisions replace Section 13 of the Award Agreement:
Tyson is located at 2200 West Don Tyson Parkway, Springdale, Arkansas 72762-6999, United States of America, and grants Awards under the Plan to employees of Tyson and its Affiliates in its sole discretion. In conjunction with Tyson's grant of Awards under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such Awards, Tyson is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices, which you should carefully review.
(a)Data Collection, Processing and Usage.  Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, you are hereby notified that Tyson collects, processes, and uses certain personally-identifiable information about you; specifically, including your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in Tyson, and details of all Award or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which Tyson receives from you or your Employer. In granting the Award under the Plan, Tyson will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating shares of Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Tyson collects, processes and uses your personal data pursuant to Tyson's legitimate interest of managing the Plan and generally administering employee equity awards and to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of the Award Agreement. Your refusal to provide personal data may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, you voluntarily acknowledge the collection, processing and use of your personal data as described herein.

(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. Tyson may transfer your personal data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists Tyson Foods with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Stock Plan Administrator”).  In the future, Tyson may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you to receive and trade shares of Stock acquired under the Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the Plan.
(c)International Data Transfers. Tyson and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States.  Tyson can only meet its contractual obligations to you if your personal data is transferred to the United States. Tyson's legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of the Award Agreement and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.
(d)Data Retention. Tyson will use your personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When Tyson no longer needs your personal data, Tyson will remove it from its systems.  If Tyson keeps your data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and Tyson's legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.
(e)Data Subjects Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data Tyson processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data.

Based on the foregoing, (a) you expressly recognize that the Plan and the benefits derived from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between you and Tyson-Mexico, (b) the Plan and the benefits derived from participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by Tyson-Mexico, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by Tyson, or a termination of the Plan by Tyson, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your employment with Tyson-Mexico.
2.    Extraordinary Item of Compensation.  You expressly recognize and acknowledge that participation in the Plan is a result of the discretionary and unilateral decision of Tyson, as well as your free and voluntary decision to participate in the Plan in accord with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Award Agreement and this Addendum.  As such, you expressly acknowledge and agree that Tyson may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue your participation in the Plan at any time and without any liability.  The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the employment contract, if any.  The Award is not a part of your regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of Tyson-Mexico.

UNITED KINGDOM
1.    Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding.  The following provisions shall supplement Section 6 of the Award Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 6 of the Award Agreement, you hereby agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby consent to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by Tyson, your Employer or by the HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You hereby agree to indemnify and keep indemnified Tyson and your Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold on your behalf or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by you within ninety (90) days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that you ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing Tyson or your Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which Tyson and/or your Employer may recover from you at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 6 of the Award Agreement.
2.    Exclusion of Claim.  You acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages, insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to vest in the Award as a result of such termination (whether the termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Award.  Upon the grant of the Award, you shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any such entitlement.
