JOHN DEERE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
GRANTED [___________] (“Grant Date”)

Deere & Company Restricted Stock Equivalents (also known as Restricted Stock Units) (“RSUs”) are granted pursuant to the John Deere 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan (“Plan”). These terms and conditions (“Terms”), together with the Plan, contain the terms of your grant. You should read these Terms carefully. Any capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined in these Terms shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan.

RSUs are designed as long-term incentives to encourage ownership and focus on stockholder value.

RSUs are common stock equivalents and represent the right to receive an equivalent number of shares of Deere & Company (“Company”) common stock $1 par value per share (“Common Stock”) if and when certain vesting and retention requirements, as detailed below, are satisfied.

Individual awards are determined by the Deere & Company Board of Directors Compensation Committee (“Committee”).

These Terms include certain restrictive covenants. If you are a resident of Illinois, you have the right to consult an attorney regarding these Terms. If you are a resident of Texas, you acknowledge that in consideration for your employment with the Company, the financial and other benefits you received from that employment, including the RSUs, and/or access to confidential information and/or trade secrets, you are bound by certain restrictive covenant provisions as outlined in these Terms.

Your RSUs are subject to the following provisions:

(1) Vesting.

A. Time-Based Vesting. Except as provided in sections (1)B and (1)C and subject to your acceptance of these Terms, your RSUs will vest over three years with 34% of the RSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, 33% of the RSUs vesting on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, and 33% of the RSUs vesting on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to your continued employment through the applicable Vesting Date.

B. Retirement. In the event of your termination of employment due to Retirement, subject to sections (6) and (7), your RSUs will vest as follows:

1. If your Retirement occurs on or before the October 31 of the fiscal year in which the Grant Date occurs (the “Grant Year End”), a prorated portion of your RSUs shall vest on the date of your Retirement in an amount equal to the total number of your RSUs, multiplied by the percentage determined by dividing (i) the number of full calendar months that elapsed between the Grant Date and the Retirement date (including the month of Retirement); by (ii) 12. The remainder of the RSUs shall automatically be forfeited as of the date of your Retirement. The RSUs that vest in accordance with this section (1)B shall be converted to shares of Common Stock in substantially equal installments following the Vesting Dates in accordance with section (2) as if you remained in service through each such date.

2. If your Retirement occurs after the Grant Year End, any unvested RSUs shall automatically vest in full on the date of your Retirement and shall be converted to shares of Common Stock in substantially equal installments following the remaining Vesting Dates in accordance with section (2) as if you remained in service through each such date.

For purposes of these Terms, “Retirement” shall have the meaning assigned to such term under the John Deere Pension Plan for Salaried Employees or any successor or similar plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or if there is no such plan, Retirement shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, subject to compliance with applicable law.

C. Disability or Death. In the event of your termination of employment due to Disability or due to death, subject to sections (6) and (7), your unvested RSUs will vest on the date of your termination of employment. Your vested RSUs will be converted into shares of Common Stock in

substantially equal instalments following the remaining Vesting Dates in accordance with section (2) as if you remained in service through each such date. For purposes of these Terms, “Disability” shall have the meaning assigned to it under the John Deere Long-Term Disability Plan for Salaried Employees or any successor or similar plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or if there is no such plan, Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, subject to compliance with applicable law.

D. Other Terminations. Except as provided in sections (1)B and (1)C, and subject to section (6), if you terminate employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries before the RSUs are fully vested, all unvested RSUs held by you at that time shall be automatically forfeited along with any accrued Dividend Equivalents (as defined below).

E. In addition, pursuant to section 8.8 of the Plan, any unvested RSUs and Dividend Equivalents may be forfeited if you incur a suspension of employment or you are placed on a leave of absence, in either case subject to applicable law.

F. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive any automatic forfeiture provisions or apply new restrictions to the RSUs; provided that there shall be no acceleration of vesting of RSUs that would result in the imposition on any person of additional taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A of the Code or by regulations of the Secretary of the United States Treasury.

(2) Conversion to Common Stock.

A. Within five days following the applicable Vesting Date, you will receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your vested RSUs (net of any shares of Common Stock withheld for Withholding Taxes (as defined below)), and such vested RSUs will terminate. If you have not met your stock ownership guideline requirements at the time of the conversion, you are required to continue to hold the shares of Common Stock received upon conversion of your vested RSUs (net of any shares of Common Stock withheld for Withholding Taxes) until your stock ownership guidelines are met. Stock ownership guidelines currently apply to salary grades E1 and above.

B. The Company will not be required to convert any RSUs to shares of Common Stock upon vesting until the requirements of any federal, state, or foreign securities laws, rules, or regulations or other laws or rules (including the rules of any securities exchange) as may be determined by the Company to be applicable are satisfied.

(3) Non-Transferability. You may not voluntarily or involuntarily sell, transfer, gift, pledge, assign or otherwise alienate the RSUs or any rights under these Terms, including but not limited to transfers related to estate planning, dissolution of marriage, collection, execution, attachment, and any other voluntary or involuntary transfer. Any attempt to do so contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, as described in section (16), designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise your rights and receive any shares of Common Stock issued or any cash paid with respect to the RSUs upon your death.

(4) No Stockholder Rights. You will not have any rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable under the RSUs, including, but not limited to, voting rights, until the RSUs are converted and you become the record holder of those shares following their issuance after the satisfaction of the Withholding Taxes.

(5) Dividend Equivalents. You will not receive cash dividends on the RSUs, but instead shall, with respect to each RSU, be entitled to a cash payment from the Company determined on each cash dividend payment date with respect to the shares of Common Stock with a record date occurring at any time following the Grant Date but prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock with respect thereto in accordance with section (2). Such cash payment shall be equal to the dividend that would have been paid on the share of Common Stock issuable with respect to each RSU had such share been issued and outstanding and entitled to the dividend (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents shall be accrued and paid in cash at the time the vested RSUs to which they relate are converted to Common Stock. If any RSUs are forfeited, the corresponding cash Dividend Equivalents will also be forfeited.

(6) Change of Control. Article VII of the Plan will apply to the RSUs and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee or the Board of Directors may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding the definitions in Article VII, to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, a “Change of Control” shall occur only if such event constitutes a “change in control event” as defined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i). Article VII of the Plan shall be administered with respect to the RSUs so that it complies in all respects with Section 409A of the Code and the related regulations.

(7) Special Forfeiture Provisions.

A. In the event that your employment terminates due to Retirement, Disability, or with the consent of the Committee before the RSUs are converted to shares of Common Stock, your right to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange for your vested RSUs, if any, shall be subject to the Restrictive Covenants set forth in Attachment A. If it is determined that you have breached the Restrictive Covenants in Attachment A, your outstanding RSUs shall automatically be forfeited. Any determination by the Committee that you breached such Restrictive Covenants shall be final, binding and conclusive.

B. If you have attained salary grade E3 or above on or after the Grant Date, then, by accepting these Terms, you agree that the RSUs are subject to and conditioned on the terms of any applicable clawback policies approved by the Board or Committee, as in effect from time to time (including, without limitation, the Company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy, the Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy, or any successor or similar policy), whether approved before or after the Grant Date (as applicable, a “Clawback Policy”). Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation Section 409A of the Code, the RSUs are subject to offset in the event that you have an outstanding clawback, recoupment or forfeiture obligation to the Company under the terms of any applicable Clawback Policy. No RSUs (nor any portion thereof) shall be earned until you have met all the conditions of these Terms, and any clawback, recoupment or forfeiture provisions of any applicable Clawback Policy have been applied.

Unless the Committee determines otherwise, upon conversion of the RSUs to Common Stock, whole shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion will be withheld and applied to the satisfaction of the Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you have attained salary grade E3, in order to help meet the Company’s stock ownership requirements, you may elect to pay the Withholding Taxes with respect to your RSUs by delivery of a check to the Company in amount of such Withholding Taxes by contacting the Executive Compensation department at ________@JohnDeere.com by no later than 14 days prior to the applicable conversion date; provided, however, that if you are an officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, you may not make such election. In the event the RSUs become subject to Withholding Taxes prior to the conversion date for the RSUs, the Company may either (A) reduce the number of your vested RSUs and apply the value of such RSUs to the Withholding Taxes and any additional Taxes created by such withholding, (B) withhold payroll amounts due to you and apply it to the Taxes, or (C) require you to deliver a check to the Company in the amount of such Taxes.

Nothing herein creates an employment agreement or becomes part of remuneration for purposes of determining other benefits.
