your first taxable year ending after the date on which
the Restricted Period lapses. Units are payable in one
share of DuPont common stock for each whole unit and a
cash payment for any fraction of a unit. The value of

	 	To the extent that an amount is payable in connection

will report proceeds on a Form 1099-MISC, Non-employee
compensation. Grantees are encouraged to consult a tax
professional on more specifics. For non-U.S. residents,

	Exercise/Payment

	 	Requests to exercise SARs will be valued using that day’s
average of the high and low price for Company common
stock as determined on the NYSE-Composite Transactions
Tape. This price will be used to determine the gross
payment from the exercise transaction. If the exercise
day is not a day the NYSE is open, the transaction will
be valued at the average price on the next trading day
the exchange is open. Proceeds of the exercise will be
paid to you (or your beneficiary, as applicable) by your
local payroll.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Calculation of the gross payment will be done in U.S. dollars and then
translated into local currency by your local payroll. Translation shall
be done using the exchange rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal on the
exercise day, or, if no rate is quoted, an appropriate published
equivalent will be used. If the exercise day is not a business day, the
exchange rate quoted for the next business day will be used.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	In the event of a Change of Control in which the consideration paid to the
stockholders is solely cash, the Compensation Committee may provide that
any unexercised SARs will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment
equal to the (i) excess consideration paid per share of stock

	 	You may not transfer these SARs, except by will or
laws of descent and distribution. The SARs are
exercisable during your lifetime only by you or your
guardian or legal representative.
	 
	 	 
	Withholding

	 	When withholding of national, social, and/or local
taxes is required in a country, it will be withheld
from the gross cash payment.

AWARD TERMS OF

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS GRANTED UNDER THE

DUPONT EQUITY AND INCENTIVE PLAN 

	 	 	 
	Introduction

	 	You have been granted performance-based restricted DuPont common stock units under the E.I. du Pont de
Nemours and Company Equity and Incentive Plan (“Plan”), subject to the following Award Terms. This grant
is also subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by reference. However, to the
extent that an Award Term conflicts with the Plan, the Plan shall govern. A copy of the Plan, and other
Plan-related materials, such as the Plan prospectus, are available at:

	 	Performance-based restricted DuPont common stock units
	 
	 	 
	Dividend Equivalents

	 	Dividends payable on the total number of shares represented by your units (including whole and fractional
units) will be allocated to your account in the form of units (whole and fractional) based upon the
closing stock price on the date of the dividend payment. Dividend equivalent units will be determined
after the end of the Performance Period and credited to your account at that time based on the
performance-adjusted number of units in your account. Dividend equivalent units will be calculated by
taking the final performance-adjusted units and calculating the dividend equivalent units for the first
dividend payment date for the Performance Period. The resulting number of dividend equivalent units from
the first dividend payment date will be added to the final performance-adjusted number of units before
calculating the dividend equivalent units for the second dividend payment date during the Performance
Period. This process will be repeated for each subsequent dividend payment date during the Performance
Period.
	 
	 	 
	Performance Period

	 	[THREE YEAR PERIOD BEGINNING JANUARY 1 PRECEDING GRANT DATE]

	 	You may not sell, gift, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the units.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	If you remain an active employee of DuPont from the Date of Grant through
the last day of the Performance Period, the number of units that have
vested as of the end of the Performance Period, if any, will be based on
the achievement of the Performance Metrics set forth below. Except as set
forth below, if you terminate employment with DuPont after the Date of
Grant but prior to the last day of the Performance Period, unvested units
will be forfeited. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the
Plan), the Performance Metrics set forth below will be deemed to be
achieved at the target level (100% of target award earned)

	 	and prorated for the portion of the Performance Period preceding the
Change of Control.
	 
	 	 
	Performance Metrics

	 	The final number of units earned is based upon our
revenue growth and total shareholder return relative
to a group of our peer companies.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Performance and payout are determined independently
for each metric. The final overall award is the sum
of the two elements

	 	1. Revenue growth
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Revenue growth is measured based on revenue/sales as reported in company
filings and adjusted for major acquisitions/divestitures, but only if the
aggregate of major acquisitions/divestitures totals 15% or more of total
revenue in a fiscal year. A major acquisition/divestiture is one that
accounts for at least 5% of total revenue.

	*	 	Interim points are interpolated on a straight-line basis

	 	 ̈	 	For each peer company, revenue growth is based on revenue for the
fiscal year preceding the Performance Period (e.g., 12/31/2008)
compared to revenue for the last fiscal year of the Performance
Period (e.g., 12/31/2011)
	 
	 	 ̈	 	Based on the table above, DuPont’s percentile rank in revenue
growth against its peer companies is translated into a percentage (of
target) payout for 50% of the Award.

	 	 	 
	 

	 	2. Total Shareholder Return (TSR)
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	TSR represents the total return on a company’s common stock to an investor
(stock price appreciation plus dividends).

	 	Change in Stock Price + Dividends Paid
	 

	 	 
	 

	 	Beginning Stock Price

	 	 ̈	 	Beginning Stock Price: average closing price of the stock over the
20 trading days immediately prior to the first day of the Performance
Period.
	 
	 	 ̈	 	Ending Stock Price: average closing price of the stock over the
last 20 trading days of the Performance Period.
	 
	 	 ̈	 	Change in Stock Price: difference between the Beginning Stock
Price and the Ending Stock Price.
	 
	 	 ̈	 	Dividends Paid: total of all dividends paid on one share of stock
during the applicable calendar quarter(s) during the Performance
Period, provided that dividends shall be treated as though they are
reinvested on day of payment based on closing price of the stock on
that day.
	 
	 	 ̈	 	Based on the table above, the Company’s percentile rank in TSR
against its peer companies is translated into a percentage (of
target) payout for 50% of the Award.

	 	 	 
	Payment

	 	As soon as practicable during your first taxable year ending after the last day of the
Performance Period, vested units (including dividend equivalents accruing after the end of the
Performance Period and prior to the payment date), if any, will be paid to you or your
beneficiary (or estate, if there is no beneficiary), as applicable, in one share of DuPont
common stock for each whole unit and a cash payment for any fraction of a unit. The value of
each fractional unit will be based on the average high and low prices of DuPont common stock
as reported on the Composite Tape of the New York Stock Exchange as of the effective date of
payment.
	 
	 	 
	Termination

of Employment
	 	 

	 	 	 
	Due to Retirement (as
defined in the
applicable pension or
retirement plan or plan
company policy), Lack of
Work, Divestiture to
Entity Less Than 50%
Owned by DuPont, Total
and Permanent
Disability, or Death

	 	If you are an active employee for
six months following the Date of
Grant and are an active employee
through the date of retirement,
disability, death or termination of
employment, the units will remain
subject to the Vesting Terms.
However, the number of units will be
prorated based on the number of
months you were employed by DuPont
from the Date of Grant through
during the end of the Performance
Period.

 

 

EXHIBIT 10.8

	 	 	 
	Due to Any Other Reason
(such as voluntary
termination)

	 	Units will be forfeited as of the
date on which you terminate
employment.

	 	 	 
	Other Forfeiture

	 	If you engage in misconduct, the Company may demand that
you repay this Award, or cash payments you received as a
result of this Award, within ten (10) days following
written demand by the Company. “Misconduct” is defined
in the Plan, and includes, but is not limited to,
termination for cause (also defined in the Plan) or the
breach of a noncompete or confidentiality agreement in
your employment agreement.
	 
	 	 
	Change of Control

	 	In the event of a Change of Control in which the
consideration paid to the stockholders is solely cash,
the Compensation Committee may provide that any units
will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal
to the consideration paid per share of stock in the
Change of Control multiplied by the number of your
units.
	 
	 	 
	Deferral

	 	If you are an officer of the Company, you may defer the
settlement of this Award in accordance with the
procedures established by the Company for that purpose.
	 
	 	 
	Withholding

	 	Shares of DuPont common stock otherwise deliverable in
settlement of the units will be automatically used to
satisfy withholding for federal, state, and local taxes.
Where share withholding is not permitted by local law,
the Company is authorized to withhold from other amounts
due you (or your beneficiary, as applicable) or require
payment of the same from you (or your beneficiary, as
applicable). For more information regarding withholding
procedures, please refer to the Plan prospectus.twelfthamdmt.htm -- Converted by SEC Publisher, created by BCL Technologies Inc., for SEC Filing

THIS RELEASE IS INTENDED TO BE FINAL AND IRREVOCABLE AND IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE SATISFACTION OF ANY CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND.

           Section 19.   Waiver Of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties agrees that any suit, action, or proceeding, whether claim or counterclaim, brought or instituted by it or by any of its successors or assigns, on or with respect to this Amendment, the Obligations (or the administration thereof), or any of the other Loan Documents, or which in any way, directly or indirectly relates thereto, shall be tried by a court and not by a jury. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AMENDMENT EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING.
