Zoetis Inc. (the “Company”) has granted to the person named below (the “Participant”), an Award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms, definitions and provisions of this Restricted Stock Unit Award (this “RSU Award”) and the Zoetis Inc. 2013 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference, as follows:
Participant Name        
Date of Grant        
Number of Restricted Stock Units         
Unless otherwise defined in this RSU Award, the terms used in this RSU Award shall have the meanings defined in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this RSU Award, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.
1.Vesting Schedule.
Regular Vesting Schedule: Subject to any acceleration provisions contained in the Plan or set forth below, 100% of the total Number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest and be settled on the third annual anniversary of the Date of Grant; provided that this Award shall cease vesting immediately upon Participant's Termination of Employment.
Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this RSU Award unless Participant has continuously and actively been employed with, or providing services to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs. For non-U.S. Participants and for purposes of this Award and participation in the Plan, Termination of Employment will be deemed to be as of the date that notice of termination is provided (whether by the Company or Subsidiary or Affiliate for any reason or by Participant upon resignation) and will not be extended by any notice period or “garden leave” that may be required contractually or under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator (or any delegate) shall have the sole discretion to determine when Participant is no longer employed or providing services for purposes of this Award and participation in the Plan.
Accelerated Vesting Schedules
Subject to the general provisions above, in the event of the following circumstances, the following vesting and settlement provisions shall apply:
(a)    Death. In the event of Participant's Termination of Employment due to Participant's death, 100% of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award will vest and be settled immediately upon such termination. The person named in Participant's will or Participant's beneficiary, as the case may be, will receive the Shares issued upon settlement of Participant's Restricted Stock Units, subject to applicable law.
(b)    Total and Permanent Disability. In the event of Participant's Termination of Employment due to Participant's Total and Permanent Disability (as defined below), 100% of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award will vest and be settled immediately upon such termination. For purposes of this Award, “Total and Permanent Disability” shall have the meaning set forth in the Company's long-term disability program.
(c)    Retirement. In the event of Participant's Termination of Employment due to Participant's Retirement (as defined below) on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, a pro-rata portion of the unvested Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on the next vesting date will immediately vest upon such Retirement based on the number of days that Participant was an active Employee prior to Participant's Retirement through the date of Participant's Termination of Employment, and such vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled as soon as practicable after Participant's Termination of Employment (and, in any event, no


-1-


later than thirty (30) days after Participant's Termination of Employment). For purposes of this Award, “Retirement” means Participant has attained a minimum age of fifty-five (55) and a minimum of ten (10) years of service with the Company or any Affiliate.
(d)    Termination as a Result of a Plant Closing or Restructuring Event. In the event of Participant's Termination of Employment as a result of a plant closing or Restructuring Event (as defined below), a pro-rata portion of the unvested Restricted Stock Units scheduled to vest on the next vesting date will immediately vest upon such Termination of Employment based on the number of days that Participant was an active Employee prior to Participant's Termination of Employment through the date of Participant's Termination of Employment, and such vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled as soon as practicable after Participant's Termination of Employment (and, in any event, no later than thirty (30) days after Participant's Termination of Employment). For purposes of this Award, a “Restructuring Event” means an involuntary Termination of Employment without Cause and not related to performance, that is the direct result of curtailment, cessation of operations, relocation of operations, reorganization or position elimination or job restructuring due to a change in required competencies or qualification for positions, as determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.
(e)    Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason following a Change in Control. In the event of Participant's Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause (as defined below) or as a result of Participant's resignation for Good Reason (as defined below), in either case, upon or within twenty-four (24) months following the consummation of a Change in Control, 100% of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award will immediately vest and settle upon such termination.
For purposes of this Award, “Cause” means (i) an act of dishonesty, fraud or misrepresentation made by Participant in connection with Participant's responsibilities to the Company, (ii) Participant's willful, material violation of any law or regulation applicable to the business of the Company; (iii) Participant's conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime that, in either case, has resulted in or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to the business or reputation of the Company, (iv) Participant's willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection with carrying out Participant's job responsibilities to the Company, (v) Participant's unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom Participant owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of Participant's relationship with the Company; (vi) Participant's willful breach of any obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company that is injurious to the Company; (vii) Participant's violation or disregard of any Company policy that has resulted in or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to the business or reputation of the Company; or (viii) Participant's failure or refusal to perform Participant's duties and responsibilities to the Company. For purposes of clarity, all references herein to the Company shall include references to any Affiliate and any successor to the Company or any Affiliate, and a termination without “Cause” does not include any termination that occurs as a result of Participant's death or disability.
For purposes of this Award, “Good Reason” means Participant's resignation due to the occurrence of any of the following conditions which occurs without Participant's written consent, provided that the requirements regarding advance notice and an opportunity to cure set forth below are satisfied: (i) a material reduction of Participant's base compensation (other than as part of an across-the-board salary reduction applicable to all similarly situated employees); (ii) a material reduction of Participant's duties, authority, responsibilities or reporting relationship, relative to Participant's duties, authority, responsibilities or reporting relationship as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; or (iii) the Company (or a successor, if appropriate) requires Participant to relocate to a facility or location more than twenty-five (25) miles away from the location at which Participant was working immediately prior to the required relocation and such relocation increases Participant's one way commute by thirty (30) minutes or more during normal commuting hours and under typical traffic conditions.  In order for Participant to resign for Good Reason, Participant must provide written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason condition within sixty (60) days of the initial existence of such Good Reason condition and not be required to provide for the acceleration of vesting described herein as a result of such proposed resignation. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company will have thirty (30) days during which it may remedy the Good Reason condition. If the Good Reason condition is not remedied within such thirty (30) day period, Participant may resign based on the Good Reason condition specified in the notice effective no later than thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Company's thirty (30) day cure period.
2.Company's Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share if the Restricted Stock Unit vests. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in the manner set forth in Section 1 above, Participant will have no right to payment of any Shares. Prior to actual payment of any Shares, such Restricted Stock Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company. Restricted Stock Units will be automatically settled and paid to Participant in Shares (including fractional


-2-


Shares) upon vesting of such Restricted Stock Units, subject to Participant satisfying any applicable tax, tax withholding or other obligations as set forth in Section 5.
3.Forfeiture upon Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this RSU Award, in the event of Participant's Termination of Employment for any or no reason, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units will immediately cease and the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the date of Participant's Termination of Employment and do not vest as a result of Participant's Termination of Employment will be immediately forfeited without consideration. The Company shall have the sole discretion to determine when Participant's Termination of Employment occurs. Further, notwithstanding anything stated herein or the Plan, if this Award is not assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, this Award shall terminate in its entirety immediately following such Change in Control.
4.Inappropriate Activity. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if at any time Participant engages in any activity in competition with any activity of the Company or any Affiliate, or in any activity inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any Affiliate, including, but not limited to: (i) conduct related to Participant's employment for which either criminal or civil penalties against Participant may be sought, (ii) violation of Company or any Affiliate policies, including, without limitation, the Company's insider trading policy, (iii) accepting employment with or serving as a consultant, advisor or in any other capacity to an employer that is in competition with or acting against the interest of the Company or any Affiliate, (iv) disclosing or misusing any confidential information or material concerning the Company or any Affiliate, or (v) participating in a hostile takeover attempt, this Award shall immediately terminate in its entirety.
5.Tax Obligations. Regardless of any action the Company or Participant's employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all applicable national, local, or other taxes or social contributions, withholdings, required deductions, or other payments, if any, that arise upon the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or the holding or subsequent sale of Shares, and the receipt of dividends (or dividend equivalent units), if any (“Tax-Related Items”), Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Participant is and remains Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including grant or vesting, the holding or subsequent sale of Shares acquired under the Plan, and the receipt of dividends (or dividend equivalents), if any; and (b) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the Restricted Stock Units or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items, or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant has become subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges 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. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this RSU Award, no Shares will be issued (or other payment made) to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company determines must be satisfied with respect to such Shares.
The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit Participant to satisfy such Tax-Related Items, in whole or in part (without limitation) by (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold the minimum statutory amount of Shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Award, (c) delivering to the Company already vested and owned Shares, or (d) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise). To the extent determined appropriate by the Company in its discretion, it will have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant. If Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required Tax-Related Items hereunder at the time any applicable Restricted Stock Units otherwise are scheduled to vest pursuant to Section 1 above, Participant will permanently forfeit such Restricted Stock Units and any right to receive Shares thereunder and the Restricted Stock Units will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.
6.Rights as Stockholder. Until the issuance of the Shares subject to this Award (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a holder of capital stock shall exist with respect to this Award. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 7 below and Section 3.2 of the Plan.

7.Dividend Equivalent Units. Unless otherwise set forth in the Country Specific Addendum, if the Company declares a dividend on its Common Stock, Participant will be entitled to receive a dividend equivalent unit equal to (i) the amount of such dividend declared and paid with respect to one share of Common Stock, multiplied by (ii) the number of Restricted Stock Units, and dividend equivalent units, subject to this RSU Award, if any, that are outstanding on the applicable dividend record date with respect to such dividend payment date. Dividend equivalent units will not be credited with interest. Unless otherwise set forth in the Country Specific Addendum dividend equivalent units shall be paid in Shares and shall be paid on the date on which the Company issues the Shares underlying such Restricted Stock Units, and dividend equivalent units, on which the dividend equivalent units were issued. The Administrator may prospectively change the method of crediting dividend equivalent units as it, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate from time to time provided that such change does not have a material adverse tax effect on Participant.
8.No Guarantee of Continued Service or Grants. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE EMPLOYER) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS RSU AWARD, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT'S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE EMPLOYER) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE (SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAWS).
Participant also acknowledges and agrees that: (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; (b)    the grant of 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 repeatedly in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future awards of Restricted Stock Units, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) Participant's participation in the Plan is voluntary; (e) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are extraordinary items that do not constitute regular compensation for services rendered to the Company or the Employer, and that are outside the scope of Participant's employment contract, if any; (f) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (g) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Employer.

United Kingdom
Settlement in Shares Only. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan, the RSU Award to the contrary, settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be in Shares only and not, in whole or in part, in the form of cash.

Withholding of Tax. This provision supplements Section 6 of the RSU Award: If payment or withholding of the Tax-Related Items is not made within ninety (90) days of the event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items (the “Due Date”) or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items will constitute a loan owed by Participant to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), it will be immediately due and repayable, and the Company or the employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 6 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), Participant will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the Tax-Related Items. In the event that Participant is a director or executive officer and the Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by Participant by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items will constitute a benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions will be payable. Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime.
