Director Restricted Stock Agreement
(Annual Grant)
This Director Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between Univar Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the director whose name is set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Director”), is being entered into pursuant to the Univar Inc. 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and is dated as of the date it is accepted and agreed to by the Director in accordance with Section 4(m). Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Plan.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) authorized the Director’s annual compensation for service as a member of the Board (the “Annual Fee”), a portion of which will be paid in the form of equity in the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Director hereby agree as follows:
Section 1.Grant of Shares of Restricted Stock. The Company hereby evidences and confirms its grant to the Director, effective as of the Grant Date (as specified on Exhibit A hereto), of the aggregate number of shares of Restricted Stock as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, as satisfaction of the equity portion of the Director’s Annual Fee for the current year (the “Shares”). This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the Shares granted hereunder are subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein. If there is any inconsistency between any express provision of this Agreement and any express term of the Plan, the express term of the Plan shall govern.




Section 2.Vesting and Forfeiture.
(a)    Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the Shares granted hereunder shall become vested, if at all, on the first anniversary of the Grant Date or as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A (the “Vesting Date”), subject to the Director’s continued service on the Board from the Grant Date until the Vesting Date.
(b)    Effect of Termination of Services.
(i)    Death or Disability. If the Director’s service on the Board is terminated due to death or Disability prior to the Vesting Date (each, a “Special Termination”), outstanding unvested Shares shall vest, as of the date of such Special Termination, on a pro rata basis, in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of outstanding unvested Shares then held by the Director multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed from the Grant Date and the denominator of which is 365.
(ii)    Any Other Reason. Upon termination of the Director’s services on the Board prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than a Special Termination (whether initiated by the Company or by the Director), the Shares shall be forfeited effective as of the date of such termination.
(c)    Effect of a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control occurring prior to the Vesting Date, the treatment of any unvested Shares shall be governed by Article XIV of the Plan.
(d)    Discretionary Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting with respect to any Shares under this Agreement, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine.

Section 3.Restriction on Transfer of Shares. Prior to the vesting thereof, the Shares are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and they may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including, but not limited to, by gift, operation of law or otherwise), other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the estate of the Director upon the Director’s death. Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 3 shall be void ab initio. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Director may not sell the Shares unless such shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, if such shares are not then so registered, such sale would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The sale of the Shares must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Common Stock, and the Director may not sell the Shares if the Company determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
Section 4.Miscellaneous.
(a)    Authorization to Share Personal Data. The Director authorizes the Company or any Affiliate of the Company that has or lawfully obtains personal data relating to the Director to divulge or transfer such personal data to the Company or to a third party, in each case in any jurisdiction, if and to the extent reasonably appropriate in connection with this Agreement or the administration of the Plan.
(b)    No Right to Continued Service on Board. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer on the Director any right to continue in the service of the Company or any Subsidiary, or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate such service at any time.
(c)    Interpretation. The Administrator shall have full power and discretion to construe and interpret the Plan (and any rules and regulations issued thereunder) and this Award. Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to the Plan or this Award shall be final and binding and conclusive on all persons affected hereby.
(d)    Forfeiture of Awards. The Shares granted hereunder (and gains earned or accrued in connection therewith) shall be subject to such generally applicable policies as to forfeiture and recoupment (including, without limitation, upon the occurrence of material financial or accounting errors, financial or other misconduct) as may be adopted by the Administrator or the Board from time to time and communicated to the Director, and is otherwise subject to forfeiture or disgorgement of profits as provided by the Plan.
(e)    Consent to Electronic Delivery.

(g)    Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented orally, but only by a written instrument executed by the Director and the Company.

(i)    Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including, but not limited to, as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of law that would require application of the law of another jurisdiction.
(j)    Waiver of Jury Trial.

The same use of electronic media may be used for any amendment or waiver of this Agreement.
