THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY
Schedule of Provisions for Certain
Time-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Awards
Pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan

AWARD AGREEMENT, dated as of Dated between The Walt Disney Company, a Delaware corporation (“Disney”), and Participant Name (the “Participant”). This Award is granted on Grant Date (the “Date of Grant”) by the Compensation Committee of the Disney Board of Directors (the “Committee”). 

Section 1.  Restricted Stock Unit Award.  Disney hereby grants to the Participant, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, an Award of #### Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.  The Award referred to herein constitutes a “Stock Unit Award” under the Plan.  The Restricted Stock Units are notional units of measurement denominated in Shares of Disney (i.e. one Restricted Stock Unit is equivalent in value to one Share, subject to the terms hereof).  The Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded, unsecured obligation of Disney.

Section 2. Vesting Requirements. Subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances as provided in Section 3 below and to the terms of Section 6 below regarding extended vesting, your right to receive payment of this Award shall become vested only if you remain continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate from the date hereof (i) in the case of the first tranche, until the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, (ii) in the case of the second tranche, until the second anniversary of the Date of Grant, (iii) in the case of the third tranche, until the third anniversary of the Date of Grant and (iv) in the case of the fourth tranche, until the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant. The vesting dates for your award are set forth on the website(s) referred to herein at the Grant Detail page, which may be accessed by clicking on the hyperlink for the award on the left-hand side of the Grant Summary page.
  Except as otherwise provided in Sections 3 or 6 below, if the service vesting requirements of this Section 2 are not satisfied for a tranche, the applicable number of Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited and your rights with respect thereto shall cease. All Restricted Stock Units for which 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 your death or Disability (to the extent permitted under applicable local law), 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 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. 

Section 4. Dividend Equivalents. Any dividends paid in cash or Shares will be credited to you as additional Restricted Stock Units as if the Restricted Stock Units you previously held were outstanding Shares, as follows: such credit shall be made in whole Restricted Stock Units only (rounded downward to the nearest whole unit) and shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of payment of such dividend. All such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same vesting requirements applicable to the Restricted 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 Restricted Stock Units shall be made within 30 days of the applicable vesting date under Section 2 hereof as of which the vesting requirements under Section 2 hereof shall have been satisfied with respect to any tranche (or within 30 days of the acceleration of vesting under Section 3 hereof). The Restricted 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 you after deduction of all 

* The vesting dates for your award are set forth on the website(s) referred to herein at the Grant Detail page, which may be accessed by clicking on the hyperlink for the award on the left-hand side of the Grant Summary page.
1

income tax, social insurance contributions, National Insurance contributions, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”) in the amount determined by the Committee. 

Section 6. Extended Vesting.  

(a) In the event that your employment with Disney or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or “cause” (as further provided in the Plan) at a time when (i) you have attained the age of 60 and have completed at least 10 consecutive Service Years (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) at least one year has passed since the Date of Grant, then unless otherwise stated in the Appendix (as defined in Section 18), the remaining then unvested tranche(s) of this Award shall vest in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof in the same manner as if your employment had continued through the scheduled vesting date(s) of such tranche(s); provided, however, that in the event of your death prior to any such scheduled vesting date(s), all remaining then unvested tranche(s) of this Award shall vest and be payable immediately upon such event.  For purposes of the foregoing, “Service Year” shall mean any 12-month period during which you were continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate thereof.  In determining the total number of consecutive Service Years that you have been so employed, Disney shall apply such rules regarding the bridging of service as the Committee may adopt from time to time.  

(b) Notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, if at the time of termination of employment (other than upon the scheduled expiration date of an employment agreement) you are employed pursuant to an employment agreement with Disney or an Affiliate which provides under certain circumstances for the continued vesting of any Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award in the event of the termination of such employment agreement prior to its scheduled expiration date (a “Contractual Extension Provision”), then, except as otherwise provided in such employment agreement, (i) this Section 6 shall be interpreted and applied in all respects as if you had remained continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate thereof from the Date of Grant through the scheduled expiration date of such employment agreement and (ii) the date of termination of your employment for all purposes under this Section 6 shall be deemed to be the scheduled expiration date of such employment agreement.
(c)  Solely for purposes of determining whether, and to what extent, the Participant shall have satisfied the service vesting requirement in Section 2, the Participant shall be deemed to have continued in employment (without duplication of any service credit afforded with respect to a Contractual Extension Provision) with Disney or an Affiliate during any period for which the Company provides Participant pay in lieu of notice in connection with The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as currently in effect and as the same may be amended from time to time, or any successor statute thereto or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign law applicable to the Participant.
Section 7. Responsibility for Taxes. Restricted Stock Units are granted and vested in the United States. At the time of vesting, if you are a U.S. taxpayer, Disney will withhold all U.S. federal, state and local taxes as required by law at the then-current rate for supplemental wage income as applicable.  If you are resident outside the U.S., you shall be responsible for the payment of all Tax-Related Items, and Disney will either withhold the Tax-Related Items as required by local law, or, alternatively, you will be required to pay the Tax-Related Items directly or, where permitted by local law with respect to fringe benefits or employer social taxes, to reimburse Disney or the Affiliate by whom you are employed (the “Employer”) for the Tax-Related Items paid by Disney or such Affiliate.

Regardless of any action Disney or the Employer takes with respect to any Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Disney or the Employer, whether you are in the United States or any other country.  You further acknowledge that Disney and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the 

2

terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you are subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that Disney and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Disney and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize Disney and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by Disney and/or the Employer; (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by Disney (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

Depending on the withholding method, Disney may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.  

Finally, you shall pay to Disney or the Employer, including through withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by Disney and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that Disney or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  Disney may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your Tax-Related Items obligations. 

Section 8. Restrictions on Transfer. Neither this Award nor any Restricted Stock Units covered hereby may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged by you, other than to Disney as a result of forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units as provided herein. 

Section 9. No Voting Rights. The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Award, whether or not vested, will not confer any voting rights upon you, unless and until the Award is paid in Shares. 

Section 10. Award Subject to Plan. This Restricted Stock Unit Award is subject to the terms of the 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, the Plan will govern and prevail.

Section 11. Changes in Capitalization. The Restricted Stock Units under this Award shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan relating to adjustments for changes in corporate capitalization.

(k)    for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units, your employment or service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actively providing services to Disney, the Employer or any other Affiliate (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or providing services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any) and except in the case of death or Disability in accordance with Section 3 hereof and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by Disney, your right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the period of your employment service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or providing services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of your Restricted Stock Unit Award (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);

Section 17. Severability. The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

Section 18. Appendix. The Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to any special provisions set forth in any appendix for your country (the “Appendix”).

Section 20. Data Privacy. You explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Award Agreement and any Restricted Stock Unit grant materials by and among, as applicable, Disney, the Employer and any other Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  

You understand that Disney and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, Social Security Number, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in Disney, details of all restricted stock units or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.   

You understand that Data will be transferred to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”) or such other third party stock plan administrator as may be selected by Disney in the future, which is assisting Disney with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  You understand that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country, and that these data privacy laws and protections may not offer the same level of protection for your Data as those of your country.  You understand that, if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative.

You authorize Disney, Merrill Lynch and any other possible recipients that may assist Disney (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the  purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that Disney would not be able to grant you Restricted Stock Units or other Awards or administer or maintain such Awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

Section 21. Waiver.  You acknowledge that a waiver by Disney of breach of any provision of this Award Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Award Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other Participant.

Section 22. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws.  You acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker’s country of residence or where the Shares are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect your ability to acquire or sell or attempt to sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units), either directly or indirectly, or rights linked to the value of Shares under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding Disney (as defined by or determined under the laws in the applicable jurisdiction or the laws in your country).  Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed inside information.  Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise to buy or sell securities.  Keep in mind 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 Disney's insider trading policy.  You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply 

6

with any applicable restrictions, including those imposed under Disney's insider trading policy, and you should consult with your own personal legal and financial advisors on this matter before taking any action related to the Plan.

Section 23.  Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements.  You acknowledge that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect your ability to acquire or hold Shares acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside your country.  You understand that you may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country.  You also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of your participation in the Plan to your country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt.  You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with all such requirements, and that you should consult your personal legal and tax advisors, as applicable, to ensure your compliance.

Section 2. Vesting Requirements.  The vesting of this Award (other than pursuant to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances as provided in Section 3 below or vesting pursuant to Section 6 below) shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subsections A and B of this Section 2:

For each of the Tranches of Stock Units granted hereunder the Performance Period shall be the last fiscal year (or a portion thereof) of Disney ending prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date of such Tranche. 

1

B.  Service Vesting Requirement.  In addition to the performance vesting requirements of subsection A of this Section 2, the right of the Participant to receive payment of any Tranche of this Award shall become vested only if he or she remains continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate thereof from the date hereof until the Scheduled Vesting Date of such Tranche; 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 (which writing may be the approved minutes of the Committee) that the applicable Performance Targets of Section 2.A 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.B are not satisfied for any Tranche or Tranches, 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 as of the date of the Triggering Event (provided, in each case, that the Participant is employed by Disney (or an Affiliate) at the time of such death, disability or occurrence of a Triggering Event), 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.
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 date as of which all of the applicable vesting requirements under Section 2 hereof shall have been satisfied for the applicable Tranche, or 

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

2

or within 30 days following acceleration of vesting under Section 3 hereof, if applicable but in no event later than the later of (x) December 31 of the year in which the Scheduled Vesting Date occurs and (y) two and one-half months after the Scheduled Vesting Date occurs.  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 minimum statutory withholding taxes.
Section 6. Extended Vesting.
(a)  In the event that Participant’s employment with Disney or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason other than death, disability or “cause” (as further provided in the Stock Plan) at a time when (i) the Participant has attained the age of sixty and has completed at least ten consecutive Service Years (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) at least one year has passed since the Date of Grant of this Award, then the remaining then unvested Tranches of this Award shall vest in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof in the same manner as if Participant’s employment had continued through the Scheduled Vesting Date, provided that all of the conditions to such vesting (other than the condition set forth in Section 2.B hereof), including without limitation the condition set forth in Section 2.A hereof, have been met; provided, however, that to the extent that the vesting of any Stock Units under this Award is subject to the achievement of performance condition(s) pursuant to Section 2.A hereof (which conditions were imposed under Disney’s compensation practices and policies because the Participant was at the time of grant of this Award an executive officer of Disney who could have been a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) at the time payment of this Award was expected to be made), and such performance condition(s) relate, in whole or in part, to any performance period continuing after the end of Disney’s fiscal year in which the termination of Participant’s employment with Disney or an Affiliate thereof occurs, then such performance condition(s) set forth in Section 2.A hereof shall be waived  with respect to any such vesting of Stock Units hereunder (and any similar performance conditions set forth in Section 2.A of any other Award of Stock Units granted to the Participant after January 1, 2010 shall also be waived), provided that this proviso shall not be applicable if and to the extent, in the reasonable opinion of tax counsel to Disney, the presence thereof would cause any Stock Units intended to be qualified as other performance based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to fail to be so qualified at any time prior to the termination of the Participant’s employment with Disney or any Affiliate thereof.  For purposes of the foregoing, “Service Year” shall mean any calendar year during which the Participant was continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate thereof for the entire calendar year.  In determining the total number of consecutive Service Years that the Participant has been so employed, the Company shall apply such rules regarding the bridging of service as the Committee may adopt from time to time.  

(b) Notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, if at the time of termination of employment (other than upon the scheduled expiration date of an employment agreement) Participant is employed pursuant to an employment agreement with 

3

Disney or an Affiliate which provides under certain circumstances for the continued vesting of any Stock Units subject to this Award in the event of the termination of such employment agreement prior to its scheduled expiration date (a “Contractual Extension Provision”), then, except as otherwise provided in such employment agreement, (i) this Section 6 shall be interpreted and applied in all respects as if Participant had remained continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate thereof from the Date of Grant of this Award through the scheduled expiration date of such employment agreement and (ii) the date of termination of Participant’s employment for all purposes under this Section 6 shall be deemed to be the scheduled expiration date of such employment agreement.
(c)  Solely for purposes of determining whether, and to what extent, the Participant shall have satisfied the service vesting requirement in Section 2.B, the Participant shall be deemed to have continued in employment (without duplication of any service credit afforded with respect to a Contractual Extension Provision) with Disney or an Affiliate during any period for which the Company provides Participant pay in lieu of notice in connection with The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as currently in effect and as the same may be amended from time to time, or any successor statute thereto or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign law applicable to the Participant.
Section 7. 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 8. 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.
