TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASED RESTRICTED STOCK

     The following Terms and Conditions apply to the Restricted Stock granted to Employee by INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS & FRAGRANCES INC. (the “Company”), as specified in the Purchased Restricted Stock Agreement (of which these Terms and Conditions form a part). Certain terms of the Restricted Stock, including the number of Shares granted, Purchase Price per Share and vesting date, are set forth on the preceding pages.

     1.  General . The Restricted Stock is granted to Employee under the Company’s 2000 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which is available for review, along with other documents constituting the “prospectus” for the Plan, on the Company’s intranet site at One IFF/Corporate/Law Department. All of the applicable terms, conditions and other provisions of the Plan are incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan. If there is any conflict between the provisions of this document and mandatory provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan govern. By accepting the grant of the Restricted Stock, Employee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Plan (as presently in effect or later amended), the rules and regulations under the Plan adopted from time to time, and the decisions and determinations of the Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) made from time to time, provided that no such Plan amendment, rule or regulation or Committee decision or determination shall materially and adversely affect the rights of the Employee with respect to outstanding Restricted Stock without the consent of Employee.

     2.  Nontransferability . Until such time as the Restricted Stock has become vested in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Employee may not transfer Restricted Stock or any rights hereunder to any third party other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This restriction on transfer precludes any sale, assignment, pledge, or other encumbrance or disposition of the shares of Restricted Stock (except for forfeitures to the Company).

     3.  Termination Provisions . The following provisions will govern the vesting and forfeiture of the Restricted Stock in the event of Employee’s Termination of Employment (as defined below), provided that the Committee retains its powers to accelerate vesting or modify these terms subject to the consent of Employee in the case of a modification materially adverse to Employee:

     (a)  Voluntary Resignation and Termination by the Company for Cause . In the event of Employee’s Termination of Employment due to his or her voluntarily resignation (other than a Normal or Early Retirement governed by clause (b) or (c) below) or Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause (as defined below), all unvested Restricted Stock will be immediately forfeited.

     (b)  Disability or Normal Retirement . In the event of Employee’s Termination of Employment due to Disability (as defined below) or Normal Retirement (as defined below), Employee’s unvested Restricted Stock will not be forfeited, but will remain outstanding and will become vested at the applicable date under this Agreement as though Employee had not had such a Termination of Employment; provided that Employee shall forfeit the unvested Restricted Stock if during the period following Termination of Employment up to the date of vesting Employee engages in activity that results in a Forfeiture Event set forth in Section 10 of the Plan. Employee acknowledges that the Committee has relied on the discretion granted to it under Section 10(d) of the Plan in requiring forfeiture upon occurrence of a Forfeiture Event during the applicable post-Termination period.

     (c)  Termination by the Company Not for Cause or Early Retirement. In the event of Employee’s Termination of Employment by the Company not for Cause or Employee’s Early Retirement, the following rules apply:

 

 

A pro rata portion of Employee’s then unvested Restricted Stock will not be forfeited, but will remain outstanding and will become vested at the applicable date under this Agreement as though Employee had not had such a Termination of Employment. This pro rata portion will be determined by multiplying the number of unvested Shares of Restricted Stock by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date to the date of Employee’s Termination of Employment and the denominator of which is 1,095; provided that Employee shall forfeit the unvested Restricted Stock if during the period following Termination of Employment up to the date of vesting Employee engages in activity that results in a Forfeiture Event set forth in Section 10 of the Plan.

Employee acknowledges that the Committee has relied on the discretion granted to it under Section 10(d) of the Plan in requiring forfeiture upon occurrence of a Forfeiture Event during the applicable post-Termination period.

 

 

 

Employee’s Shares of Restricted Stock that had not become vested before such Termination of Employment and which are not included in the pro rata portion subject to continued vesting will be immediately forfeited.

     (d)  Death . In the event of Employee’s Termination of Employment due to death or the death of Employee following Termination but prior to vesting of Restricted Stock not otherwise forfeited hereunder, Employee’s unvested Restricted Stock will not be forfeited but will become immediately vested.

     (e)  Certain Definitions . The following definitions apply for purposes of this Agreement:

     (i) “Cause” has the meaning as defined in the Company’s Executive Separation Policy or any successor policy thereto, as in effect at the time of Employee’s Termination of Employment.

     (ii) “Disability” means a disability entitling Employee to long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability policy as in effect at the date of Employee’s termination of employment, upon written evidence of such permanent disability from a medical doctor in a form satisfactory to the Company.

     (iii) “Early Retirement” means Termination of Employment by either the Company or Employee after Employee has attained age 55 and before he or she has attained age 62 if at the time of Termination Employee has ten or more years in the employ of the Company and/or its subsidiaries.

     (iv) “Normal Retirement” means Termination of Employment by either the Company or Employee after Employee has attained age 62.

     (v) “Termination of Employment” means the event by which Employee ceases to be employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and, immediately thereafter, is not employed by or providing substantial services to any of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. If Employee is granted a leave of absence for military or governmental service or other purposes approved by the Board, he or she shall be considered as continuing in the employ of the Company, or of a sub
