AWARD TERMS OF
PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS GRANTED UNDER THE DUPONT EQUITY AND INCENTIVE PLAN
FOR GRANTEES LOCATED IN THE U.S.


Introduction
You have been granted performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“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. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in these Award Terms, including any appendices to these Award Terms (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the “Agreement”). A copy of the Plan, and other Plan-related materials, such as the Plan prospectus, are available at:

www1.lvs.dupont.com/employeebenefits/sharesandstockoption.html.


Grant Award
Acceptance
You must expressly accept the terms and conditions of your Award as set forth in this Agreement. To accept, log on to Merrill Lynch Benefits OnLine at www.benefits.ml.com, select Equity Plan > Grant Information > Pending Acceptance.

IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR UNITS IN THE MANNER INSTRUCTED BY THE COMPANY, YOUR UNITS WILL BE SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION.

Date of Grant    February 3, 2016 (“Date of Grant”)

Type of Award    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    January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2018




Vesting Terms
You may not sell, gift, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the Units.

If you remain an active employee 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 after the Date of Grant but prior to the last day of the Performance Period, unvested Units will be forfeited.

Performance Metrics The final number of Units earned is based upon the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to the TSR of a group of its peer companies.
The final overall Award is determined by multiplying the TSR Payout % by the Target Award.
Total Shareholder Return (TSR)

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

25% (threshold)

*Interim points are interpolated on a straight-line basis For this purpose, TSR is determined as follows:
TSR =        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 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 equivalent units 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 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 Stock as reported on the Composite Tape of the New York Stock Exchange as of the effective date of payment.

Code Section 409A
The Units are intended to be exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A and the U.S. Treasury Regulations relating thereto so as not to subject you to the payment of additional taxes and interest under Code Section 409A or other adverse tax consequences. In furtherance of this intent, the provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted, operated, and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions. The Committee may modify the terms of this Agreement, the Plan or both, without your consent, in the manner that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with Code Section 409A or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Code Section 409A if compliance is not practical. This section does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the terms of this Agreement or the Plan and does not guarantee that the Units or the delivery of shares of Stock upon vesting/settlement of the Units will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties or any other adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable to any party for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be im posed on you by Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

Any benefits you may receive hereunder shall be subject to repayment or forfeiture as may be required to comply with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any applicable law, including the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any securities exchange on which the Stock is traded, as may be in effect from time to time.

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
You acknowledge that the Company and/or your employer (the “Employer”) (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”) in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalent units; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the 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, 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 the 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 the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the 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 (iii) withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Units.

If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Units,




notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, you agree to pay to 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 proceeds of the sale of
shares of Stock, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Code Section 409A, if shares of Stock subject to the Units will be withheld (or sold on your behalf) to satisfy any Tax Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the Units for any portion of the Units that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, then the number of shares withheld (or sold on your behalf) shall not exceed the number of shares that equals the liability for Tax-Related Items.

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.

Waiver
You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other participant.

Imposition of Other
Requirements
The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in this Agreement, on the Units and on any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
