This Agreement is effective as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Award Memorandum. 
The Company wishes to award to the Participant Restricted Stock Units representing the opportunity to earn a number of Common Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, in order to carry out the purpose of the Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. 2015 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).  All capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan. See Section 2 of the Plan for a list of certain defined terms.
In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement, the Award Memorandum and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Award Memorandum, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

ARTICLE 1.
Grant and Terms of Restricted Stock Units
1.1    Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Pursuant to the Plan, the Company has granted to the Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units as specified in the Award Memorandum, with dividend equivalents (“Restricted Stock Units”), effective as of the Date of Grant.
1.2    Vesting As Condition of Payment.  The Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement and these terms and conditions shall only result in the issuance of Common Shares (or cash or a combination of Common Shares and cash, as decided by the Committee in its sole discretion) equal in number to the Restricted Stock Units to the extent the Participant is “Vested” in the Restricted Stock Units on the date the Restricted Stock Units are to be paid as specified in Section 1.4.  The Restricted Stock Units will become Vested as follows:
(a)Employment Through Vesting Period.  The Participant will become 100% Vested in all the Restricted Stock Units subject to this award if the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or a Subsidiary throughout the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the Vesting Date, as set forth in the Award Memorandum ("Vesting Period").
(b)Death or Disability.  The Participant will become 100% Vested in all the Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement if the Participant experiences a termination of employment with the Company because of the Participant’s death or Disability (as defined herein) during the Vesting Period.  
(c)Retirement or Termination without Cause.  If the Participant experiences a termination of employment with the Company because of Retirement (as defined herein) or a termination of employment by the Company without Cause (as defined herein) during the Vesting Period, the Participant shall become Vested in a prorated number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the product of the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this award, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months the Participant was employed with the Company or a Subsidiary between the Date of Grant and the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, and the denominator of which is 36, rounded down to the nearest whole Restricted Stock Unit.
(d)Change in Control.  In the event a Change in Control occurs during the Vesting Period, the Participant will become Vested in the Restricted Stock Units only to the extent provided in Section 1.3. 
In the event the Participant otherwise terminates employment prior to becoming Vested in the Restricted Stock Units or the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Participant shall forfeit all rights to any Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement. 

1.3    Change in Control Vesting. 
(a)    If the Participant remains in the continuous employ of the Company or a Subsidiary throughout the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the date of a Change in Control, the Participant will become 100% Vested in all the Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement upon the Change in Control, except to the extent that an award meeting the requirements of Section 1.3(f) (a “Replacement Award”) is provided to the Participant in accordance with Section 1.3(f) to replace, adjust or continue the award of Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement (the “Replaced Award”).  If a Replacement Award is provided, references to Restricted Stock Units in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Award after the Change in Control.
(b)    If, upon or after receiving a Replacement Award, the Participant experiences a termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company (or any of their successors) (as applicable, the “Successor”) by reason of the Participant terminating employment for Good Reason or the Successor terminating Participant’s employment other than for Cause, in each case within a period of two years after the Change in Control and during the Vesting Period, the Participant shall become 100% Vested in the Replacement Award upon such termination.
(c)    If a Replacement Award is provided, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any outstanding Restricted Stock Units that at the time of the Change in Control are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) will be deemed to be Vested at the time of such Change in Control and will be paid as provided for in Section 1.4(c).
(d)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months and that results in the Participant: (i) being unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity; or (ii) receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident or health plan covering employees of the Company. 
(e)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means (i) retirement from active employment with the Company or a Subsidiary on or after the age of 65 or (ii) the Participant’s retirement from active employment with the Company or a Subsidiary on and after the attainment of any of the following: (A) at least age 55 and at least 5 years of vesting service under the terms of the Company-sponsored pension plan then applicable to the Participant, if any, with additional service, if any, as may be recognized by the Committee in its sole discretion; (B) at least age 55 and at least 15 years of Continuous Service; or (C) at least 30 years of Continuous Service. For this purpose, “Continuous Service” shall be determined pursuant to Part A of the Pension Plan for Employees of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. and Its Associated Employers, and if the Participant is not a participant in a Company-sponsored pension plan, such Participant’s years of vesting service shall be determined under the rules of Part A of the Pension Plan for Employees of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. and Its Associated Employers.
(f)    For purposes of this Agreement, a “Replacement Award” means an award: (i) of the same type (e.g., time-based restricted stock units) as the Replaced Award; (ii) that has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award; (iii) that relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control; (iv) if the Participant holding the Replaced Award is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, the tax consequences of which to such Participant under the Code are not less favorable to such Participant than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award; and (v) the other terms and conditions of which are not less favorable to the Participant holding the Replaced Award than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control).  A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the two preceding sentences are satisfied.  The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 1.3(f) are satisfied will be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.
(g)    For purposes of this Agreement, a termination for “Cause” shall mean that, prior to termination of employment, the Participant shall have committed: (i) and been convicted of a criminal violation involving fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with his or her duties or in the course of his or her employment with the Company or any Affiliate (or the Successor, if applicable); (ii) intentional wrongful damage to property of 

the Company or any Affiliate (or the Successor, if applicable); (iii) intentional wrongful disclosure of secret processes or confidential information of the Company or any Affiliate (or the Successor, if applicable); or (iv) intentional wrongful engagement in any competitive activity; and any such act shall have been demonstrably and materially harmful to the Company or any Affiliate (or the Successor, if applicable).  For purposes of this Agreement, no act or failure to act on the part of the Participant shall be deemed “intentional” if it was due primarily to an error in judgment or negligence, but shall be deemed “intentional” only if done or omitted to be done by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Participant’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Company or an Affiliate (or the Successor, if applicable).
(h)    A termination “for Good Reason” shall mean the Participant’s termination of employment with the Successor as a result of the initial occurrence, without the Participant’s consent, of one or more of the following events:  
(i)a material diminution in the Participant’s annual base salary rate as in effect from time to time (“Base Pay”);
a material diminution in the Participant’s authority, duties or responsibilities; 
(ii)a material change in the geographic location at which the Participant must perform services;
(iii)a reduction in the Participant’s opportunity regarding annual bonus, incentive or other payment of compensation, in addition to Base Pay, made or to be made in regard to services rendered in any year or other period pursuant to any bonus, incentive, profit-sharing, performance, discretionary pay or similar agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement (whether or not funded) of the Successor; and 
(iv)any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Participant’s employer of the employment agreement, if any, under which the Participant provides services.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Good Reason” shall not be deemed to exist unless: (A) the Participant has provided notice to his or her employer of the existence of one or more of the conditions listed in (i) through (v) above within 90 days after the initial occurrence of such condition or conditions; and (B) such condition or conditions have not been cured by the Participant’s employer within 30 days after receipt of such notice.
1.4    Payment of Restricted Stock Units.
(a)    Payment After the Vesting Period.  Subject to Sections 1.4(b) and (c), the Restricted Stock Units that are Vested as of the Vesting Date shall be paid after the end of the Vesting Period, but in any event no later than 2-1⁄2 months after the end of the Vesting Period to the extent they have not been previously paid to the Participant.
(b)    Payment After Death, Disability, Retirement or Termination Without Cause.  Notwithstanding Section 1.4(a), if the Participant experiences a termination of employment with the Company because of the Participant’s death, Disability, or Retirement, or a termination of employment by the Company without Cause during the Vesting Period, the Vested Restricted Stock Units will be paid within 30 days following the date of such termination.  Any payment of Restricted Stock Units to a deceased Participant shall be paid to the estate of the Participant, unless the Participant files a completed Designation of Death Beneficiary with the Company in accordance with its procedures.
(c)    Change in Control.  Notwithstanding Section 1.4(a) and Section 1.4(b), to the extent any Restricted Stock Units are Vested as of a Change in Control, such Vested Restricted Stock Units will be paid within 10 days of the Change in Control; provided, however, that if such Change in Control would not qualify as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, and where Section 409A of the Code applies to such distribution, payment will be made on the date that would have otherwise applied pursuant to this Section 1.4.
(d)    Payment Following a Change in Control.  Notwithstanding Section 1.2 and 1.4(a), if, during the two-year period following a Change in Control, the Participant experiences a qualifying termination of employment (as described in Section 1.3(b)), the Restricted Stock Units that are Vested as of the date of such termination of employment shall be paid within 10 days of such termination of employment to the extent they have not been previously paid to the Participant; provided, however, that if such Change in Control would not qualify 

as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, and where Section 409A of the Code applies to such distribution, payment will be made on the date that would have otherwise applied pursuant to this Section 1.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, to the extent payment is due within 10 days of the termination of employment, if the Participant on the date of such termination of employment is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code determined using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time), payment for the Restricted Stock Units will be made on the first day of the seventh month after the date of Participant’s termination of employment or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death.
(e)    General.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may settle the Restricted Stock Units in cash or a combination of Common Shares and cash, in lieu of issuing only Common Shares.  In the event that all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash, the cash equivalent of one Restricted Stock Unit shall be equal to the Market Value per Share on the last trading day of the Vesting Period or, if earlier, the trading day immediately prior to the payment date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may be paid in cash in lieu of Common Shares to any Participant who is subject to the Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. Directors' and Officers' Share Ownership Guidelines ("Share Ownership Guidelines") unless and until such Participant is either in compliance with, or no longer subject to, such Share Ownership Guidelines; provided, however, that the Committee may withhold Common Shares to the extent necessary to satisfy income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related item withholding requirements, as described in Section 4.3.  In addition, the Committee may restrict 50% of the Common Shares to be issued in satisfaction of the total Restricted Stock Units, before income tax withholding, so that they cannot be sold by the Participant unless immediately after such sale the Participant is in compliance with the Share Ownership Guidelines that are applicable to the Participant at the time of sale.
(f)    Payment Obligation.  Prior to payment, the Company shall only have an unfunded and unsecured obligation to make payment of Restricted Stock Units to the Participant.  The Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement that have not yet been earned, and any interests of the Participant with respect thereto, are not transferable other than pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, or in accordance with Section 1.4(b).
(g)    No Shareholder Rights.  The Participant shall have no rights of ownership in the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units and no right to vote the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units until the date on which the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units are issued or transferred to the Participant pursuant to this Section 1.4.
ARTICLE 2.
Other Terms and Conditions

2.1    Non-Compete and Confidentiality.
(a)    A Participant shall not render services for any organization or engage directly or indirectly in any business that is a competitor of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or which organization or business is or plans to become prejudicial to or in conflict with the business interests of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or distribute any secret or confidential information belonging to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
(b)    Failure to comply with Section 2.1(a) above will cause a Participant to forfeit the right to Restricted Stock Units and require the Participant to reimburse the Company for the taxable income received on Restricted Stock Units that have been paid out in Common Shares within the 90-day period preceding the Participant’s termination of employment.
ARTICLE 3.
Acknowledgments
3.1    Acknowledgments.  In accepting the award, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees to the following:

(a)    The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)    The grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past; 
(c)    All decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)    The Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; 
(e)    The Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or services contract with the Company or any Subsidiary  and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, or any Subsidiary, as applicable, to terminate the Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any);
(f)    The future value of the underlying Common Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(g)    No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of any Restricted Stock Units resulting from the Participant ceasing to provide employment or other services to the Company or a Subsidiary (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the Participant waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company and its Subsidiaries from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;
(h)    Neither the Plan nor the Restricted Stock Units shall be construed to create an employment relationship where any employment relationship did not otherwise already exist; 
(i)    The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Common Shares.  The Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Restricted Stock Units; 
(j)    The Restricted Stock Units and the Common Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; and 
(k)    The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on participation in the Restricted Stock Units and on any Common Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or other applicable rules or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
ARTICLE 4.
General Provisions
4.1    Compliance with Law.  The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement and these terms and conditions, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Common Shares pursuant to the Agreement and these terms and conditions if the issuance or payment thereof would result in a violation of any such law; provided, however, that the Common Shares will be issued at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance of the Common Shares will not cause such violation.

4.2    Dividend Equivalents.  During the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the date that the Restricted Stock Units are paid in accordance with Section 1.4, the Participant will be entitled to dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Units had the Restricted Stock Units been issued and outstanding Common Shares on the record date for the dividend or distribution.  Such accrued dividend equivalents (a) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (b) will be denominated and payable solely in cash.
4.3    Withholding Taxes.  To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by the Participant under this Agreement, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld, which arrangements (in the discretion of the Committee) may include relinquishment of a portion of such benefit.  If the Participant’s benefit is to be received in the form of Common Shares, and the Participant fails to make arrangements for the payment of tax, then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company will withhold Common Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Participant is required to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable income and employment tax laws, the Participant may elect, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by having withheld, from the shares required to be delivered to the Participant, Common Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or by delivering to the Company other Common Shares held by the Participant. The shares used for tax withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the fair market value on the date the benefit is to be included in the Participant’s income. In no event will the market value of the Common Shares to be withheld and delivered pursuant to this Section to satisfy applicable withholding taxes in connection with the benefit exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld.
4.4    Continuous Employment.  For purposes of this Agreement, the continuous employment of the Participant with the Company shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the Participant shall not be deemed to have separated from service with the Company, by reason of the transfer of his employment among the Company or Subsidiaries or an approved leave of absence, unless otherwise indicated in the Plan or if required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
4.5    Relation to Other Benefits.  Any economic or other benefit to the Participant under the Agreement and these terms and conditions or the Plan shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Participant may be entitled under any profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary and shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company or Subsidiary.
4.6    Adjustments.  Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.
4.7    These Terms and Conditions Subject to Plan.  The Restricted Stock Units covered under the Agreement and all of the terms and conditions hereof are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, a copy of which is available upon request.
4.8    Transferability.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units are non-transferable and any attempts to assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise alienate or encumber (whether by law or otherwise) any Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void.
4.9    Data Privacy.  The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Restricted Stock Unit award materials by and among, as applicable, the Company or Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
The Participant understands that the Company or Subsidiary may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Common Shares of or directorships in the Company that are held, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Common Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to the Company’s broker, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  The Participant understands that the recipients’ use of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country.  The Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative.  The Participant authorizes the Company, the Company’s broker and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participants’ participation in the Plan.  The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan.  The Participant understands if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may, at any time, view their respective Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of their Data, require any necessary amendments to their Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative.  Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant's consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards.  Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
4.10    Amendments.  This Agreement can be amended at any time by the Committee.  Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto.  Except for amendments necessary to bring this Agreement into compliance with current law including Section 409A of the Code, no amendment to this Agreement shall materially and adversely affect the rights of the Participant without the Participant’s written consent.
4.11    Severability.  The provisions of this 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.
4.12    Electronic Delivery.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Restricted Stock Units by electronic means.  By accepting this award of Restricted Stock Units, the Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
4.13    Headings.  Headings are given to the articles or sections of this Agreement solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.  Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
4.14    Governing Law.  This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio.
4.15    Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.  This Agreement and the Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of the Participant).  The terms “termination of employment,” “terminates employment,” and similar words and phrases used in this Agreement mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(h).

TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED 
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2002 STOCK PLAN
GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 

Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement shall have the same defined meanings as set forth in the Trimble Navigation Limited Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Plan (the “Plan”). 
Name:
Address:
You have been awarded the right to receive Common Stock of the Company or a cash equivalent, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, including any special terms and conditions for your country in the appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix”, together with this Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, the “Award Agreement”), as follows:
Total Number of Restricted Stock Units Awarded     
Vesting Schedule
Thirty three point thee percent (33.3%) of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest annually after the vesting commencement date which has been communicated to you.  Vesting of Restricted Stock Units shall at all times be subject to your continuing to be a Service Provider on the applicable date(s) of vesting, as further described in paragraph 11 of the “Nature of Award” section below.  Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that you cease to be a Service Provider as a result of your death, the Restricted Stock Units shall become immediately vested with respect to the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have vested had you continued as a Service Provider for an additional twenty-four (24) month period following the date of your death. 
Settlement
For each vested Restricted Stock Unit, you shall be entitled to receive (a) a number of whole Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units vesting on such vesting date, or (b) a cash payment equal to the product of the number of Restricted Stock Units vesting on such vesting date and the Fair Market Value of one Share on such vesting date or (c) a combination of the foregoing.  Such payment shall be made in the form of whole Shares, cash or a combination of the foregoing at the Company’s discretion under the terms of the Plan, on or as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days, following the date of vesting.

  (Employees)

Forfeiture
Except as provided above under the heading “Vesting Schedule,” upon the date that you cease to be a Service Provider for any reason (including, without limitation, a termination that is deemed to be an “unfair dismissal” or “constructive dismissal”), all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.  The date you cease to be a Service Provider for purposes of the Award will be the date described in paragraph (11) of the “Nature of Award” section below.
Tax Obligations
You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, 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”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) 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 (or the cash equivalent) 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 any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of this Award 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-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company 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 make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any withholding obligations with regard to Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:  
(a)withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or
(b)withholding from proceeds of the sale of the Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or 
(c)withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement or from the cash payment received at settlement (if any) of the Restricted Stock Units.  
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable 

2

withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you will 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 Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, you agree to pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company 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.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares (or the cash equivalent) or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Code Section 409A
The vesting and settlement of Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Award Agreement are intended to qualify for the “short-term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code.  The Administrator reserves the right, to the extent the Administrator deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Award Agreement to ensure that the Restricted Stock Units qualify for exemption from or comply with Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations that the Restricted Stock Units will be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to these Restricted Stock Units.
Nature of Award
In accepting this Award, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:
(1)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(2)this Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of restricted stock units, or benefits in lieu of restricted stock units, even if restricted stock units have been granted in the past; 
(3)all decisions with respect to future restricted stock unit grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 
(4)this Award and your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate your Service Provider relationship at any time;
(5)you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; 

3

(6)the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; 
(7)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service you may provide as a director of a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company; 
(8)the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; 
(9)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty; 
(10)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of your relationship as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are engaged as a Service Provider or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any) and, in consideration of the Award to which you otherwise are not entitled, you irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, waive your ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company, the Employer and any Subsidiary or Affiliate from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then by participating in the Plan, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;
(11)for purposes of the Award, your relationship as a Service Provider will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actively providing services to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (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 engaged as a Service Provider or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any); unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Company, your right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the period during which you are considered a Service Provider 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 engaged as a Service Provider or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any); the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of your Award (including whether you may still be considered to be actively providing services while on a leave of absence);
(12)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any 

4

entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and
(13)neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the United States Dollar and your local currency (if different) that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
No Advice Regarding Award
The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
No Shareholder Rights Prior to Settlement
You shall have no rights of a shareholder (including the right to distributions or dividends or to vote) unless and until Shares are issued pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement.
Compliance with Law
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Shares will be issued to you upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units unless the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are then registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, if such Shares are not so registered, the Company has determined that such vesting and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Further, no Shares will be issued until completion of any other applicable registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of any applicable governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable.  By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, you agree not to sell any of the Shares received under this Award at a time when Applicable Laws or Company policies prohibit a sale.  
Insider Trading Restrictions / Market Abuse Laws
You acknowledge that, depending on your country of residence, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect your ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in your country).  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy.  You 

5

acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and that you should speak to your personal legal advisor on this matter.
Data Privacy
You hereby 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 other Restricted Stock Unit Award materials ("Data") by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  
You understand that Data will be transferred to the Company’s designated broker/third party administrator for the Plan, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company 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 recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than 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 the Company, the Company’s broker and any other third parties which may assist the Company (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 sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.  You understand that, if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, or require any necessary amendments to Data, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative.  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 status as a Service Provider and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to award you Restricted Stock Units or other equity 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.

GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Appendix, which is part of the Award Agreement, includes additional or different terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units and that will apply to you if you are in one of the countries listed below.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms set forth in this Appendix shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan or the Award Agreement, as applicable.

If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working, are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Award Date, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply to you under these circumstances.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Appendix also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of April 2015.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because such information may be outdated when you vest in this Award and/or sell any Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation.  As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result.  You, therefore, are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your particular situation.

Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than that in which you currently are working, are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfer employment and/or residency to a different country after the Award Date, the information contained herein may not apply in the same manner to you.

12

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Information.  You are permitted to sell Shares acquired through the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any (or any other broker acceptable to the Company), provided the resale of Shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed.  The Shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  Foreign property, including Shares and rights to receive Shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units), must be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds CAD100,000 at any time during the year.  Thus, Restricted Stock Units must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the CAD100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property.  When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares.  The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if other Shares are also owned, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares.

CHILE

NOTIFICATIONS

Exchange Control and Tax Reporting Information.  It is your responsibility to comply with the exchange control and tax reporting requirements in Chile in connection with the acquisition and sale of Shares under the Plan.  You should consult with your personal legal and tax advisors in this regard.  

You are not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of Shares to Chile.  However, if you decide to repatriate such funds to Chile, you must do so through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office) if the funds exceed US$10,000.  If you do not repatriate the funds and use such funds for the payment of other obligations contemplated under a different Chapter of the foreign Exchange Regulations, you must sign Annex 1 of the Manual of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations and file it directly with the Central Bank within the first 10 days of the month immediately following the transaction.

If your aggregate investments held outside of Chile meet or exceed US$5,000,000 (including the investments made under the Plan), you must report the status of such investments quarterly to the Central Bank, using Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations.

If you hold Shares acquired under the Plan outside of Chile, you must report the details of such investment and any taxes paid abroad (if you wish to receive credit against your Chilean income taxes for taxes paid abroad).  The forms to be used are Tax Form 1853 “Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Credits for Taxes Paid Abroad” and Tax Form 1851 “Annual Sworn Statement Regarding Investments Held Abroad.”  If you are not a Chilean citizen and have been a resident in Chile for less than three years, you are exempt from the requirement to file Tax Form 1853.   The forms must 

13

be submitted electronically through the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (the “CIRS”) website (www.sii.cl) before March 15 of each year.

You understand that investments abroad must be registered with the CIRS in order for you to be entitled to a foreign tax credit for any tax withheld on dividends abroad, if applicable, and such registration also provides evidence of the acquisition price of the Shares which you will need when the Shares are sold.   It may also be possible for you to provide other evidence of the acquisition price of the Shares and the number of Shares acquired and sold; however, neither the Company nor its broker are under any obligation to provide you with such a report. 

Securities Law Information.  The offer of the Restricted Stock Units constitutes a private offering in Chile effective as of the date of grant.  The offer of Restricted Stock Units is made subject to general ruling n° 336 of the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (“SVS”).  The offer refers to securities not registered at the securities registry or at the foreign securities registry of the SVS, and, therefore, such securities are not subject to oversight of the SVS.  Given that the Restricted Stock Units are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide public information about the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares in Chile.  Unless the Restricted Stock Units and/or the Shares are registered with the SVS, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.

You agree that if you do not pay, or the Company or the Employer does not withhold from you, the full amount of income tax that you owe in connection with the Restricted Stock Units within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurs, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax shall constitute a loan owed by you to the Company and/or the Employer, effective on the Due Date.
