THE INTERPUBLIC GROUP OF COMPANIES, INC. 2014 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT

The following terms and conditions supplement the terms of the Plan and govern the Award:

Achievement of Performance Criteria

Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and exclusive discretion to determine whether and the extent to which the applicable Performance Criteria has been achieved, and the corresponding number of Actual Shares Awarded. Except in the case of death or a Change of Control, the Award shall not vest and no payment shall be made pursuant to this Award unless the Committee has certified in writing that the Performance Criteria and all other material terms of the Award have been satisfied.

Tax Withholding

The Award is subject to withholding for taxes at the time and in the amount determined by the Company or the Participant’s employer. Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant's employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax–related items resulting from the Award (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax–Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Participant's employer, if any. Neither the Company nor the Participant's employer: (a) make any representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant of the Award, the vesting or settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Award and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; or (b) commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items. Unless prohibited or problematic under applicable law or otherwise may trigger adverse consequences to the Company or the Participant’s employer, the Participant may elect, via the Company's stock plan administrator (currently, UBS Financial Services), to pay any Tax-Related Items required to be withheld in connection with the Award via any of the following methods: (1) withholding a sufficient number of whole Shares from the Actual Shares Awarded to the Participant as a result of the vesting and settlement of the Award (or, in the case of an Award settled in cash, a portion of the sales proceeds) having a fair market value equal to the amount of Tax-Related Items to be withheld ("Share Withholding"); (2) selling a sufficient number of whole Shares from the Actual Shares Awarded to the Participant as a result of the vesting and settlement of the Award having a fair market value equal to the amount of Tax-Related Items to be withheld; or (3) selling all of the Actual Shares Awarded to the Participant as a result of the vesting and settlement of the Award, and withholding from the sale proceeds the amount of Tax-Related Items to be withheld, with the net proceeds disbursed to the Participant. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates. To the extent the Participant fails to elect one of the foregoing withholding methods within [30] days of the Date of Award, the Company (or the Participant's employer) shall satisfy any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items via Share Withholding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold using the method described in (1) above. If the Participant relocates to another jurisdiction, the Participant is responsible for notifying the Company of such relocation and is responsible for compliance with all applicable tax requirements. If the Participant is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company or the Participant's employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. By accepting this Award, the Participant expressly consents to the withholding methods as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the Award and any Shares or cash delivered in settlement thereof are the Participant's sole responsibility. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is responsible for any liability or penalty relating to taxes (including excise taxes) on compensation (including imputed compensation) or other income attributed to the Participant (or a Beneficiary) pursuant to this Agreement, whether as a result of the Participant failing to make timely payments of tax or otherwise.

Change of Control	This Award shall not vest or become immediately payable merely upon the occurrence of a Change of Control. However, the following provisions shall apply if a Change of Control occurs before the Vesting Date: (i) Upon the Change of Control, the number of Actual Shares Awarded shall be fixed at no less than the Target Number of Shares. Such Actual Shares Awarded shall continue to be conditioned on the Participant remaining employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate through the Vesting Date (subject to the provisions of the Plan, this Agreement and the Addendum with respect to [Retirement, ]death and Disability, and paragraph (iii), below), and shall be paid at the time prescribed by this Agreement. (ii) If as a result of the Change of Control the Company ceases to exist or the Shares are no longer traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the Actual Shares Awarded shall be converted into a cash amount equal to the value of the Actual Shares Awarded, based on the closing price of the Company Shares on the last day the Company Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange prior to the Change of Control. Such cash amount shall continue to be conditioned on the Participant remaining employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate through the Vesting Date (subject to the provisions of the Plan, this Agreement and the Addendum with respect to [Retirement, ]death and Disability, and paragraph (iii), below), and shall be paid at the time prescribed by this Agreement. (iii) If prior to the Vesting Date and within two (2) years after the Change of Control, the Participant has a Termination of Employment either (1) by the Company (including its successor) or the Participant's employer without Cause or (2) if the Participant has “good reason” rights under the Company's Executive Severance Plan or an employment agreement, by the Participant for “good reason” (as defined in the applicable plan or agreement), then (A) this Award shall become immediately vested and payable to the Participant, and (B) the Payment Date shall occur within 30 days after the Participant's Termination of Employment (subject to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 12(p)(2) of the Plan).
Retirement	If the Participant terminates service due to Retirement (as defined below) prior to the Vesting Date, the Participant shall vest in a portion of the Award. Such portion shall be calculated by (i) multiplying the Target Number of Shares to be Awarded Upon Vesting by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant’s number of completed months of service with the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from the first day of the Performance Period to the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Period (such resulting amount, the “Reduced Target Number of Shares to be Awarded Upon Vesting”), and (ii) further adjusting the Reduced Target Number of Shares to be Awarded Upon Vesting up or down based on actual performance through the end of the Performance Period. Such vested portion shall be paid on the Payment Date prescribed by this Agreement, and any portion of the Award that is not vested shall be forfeited without consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means a voluntary Termination of Service with the Company’s approval after the Participant has attained age 55 and ten (10) years of matching contribution service under the Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. Savings Plan (or, if the Participant is not eligible to participate in the Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. Savings Plan, vesting service under the Participant's employer's 401(k) plan). For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination of Service” means the date the Participant ceases to provide material services to the Company and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, which includes service as an employee, board member or consultant, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
Compliance with Local Laws	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Award in the form of: (1) a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares (a) is prohibited under local law, rules and regulations, (b) would require the Participant, the Company or the Participant's employer to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Participant's country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different), or (c) is administratively burdensome; or (2) Shares, but require the Participant to immediately sell such Shares (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issues sales instructions on behalf of the Participant). If the Participant is a resident of or employed in a country other than the United States, the Participant agrees, as a condition of the Award, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Award in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and the Participant's employer as may be required to allow the Company and the Participant's employer to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions that may be required to comply with the Participant's personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different).
EU Age Discrimination Rules	If the Participant is resident and/or employed in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the Award and this Agreement are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

Forfeiture of Award	Before accepting this Award, the Participant must disclose to the Company in writing all grants to the Participant of options, shares and other equity rights with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company ("Subsidiary Grants") that are still outstanding. Failure to disclose in writing the existence of any such outstanding Subsidiary Grants shall result in immediate cancellation and forfeiture of the Award set forth in this Agreement, unless the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such failure was reasonable under the circumstances.
Cancellation and Rescission	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold, modify, amend or otherwise limit or restrict this Award (whether vested or not vested) at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, or if the Participant engages in any “Prohibited Activity.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Prohibited Activity” means: (i) any activity that would enable the Company (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate where the Participant is employed) to terminate the Participant's employment for cause (as defined in the Plan or any employment agreement or other plan or arrangement that covers the Participant); (ii) a material violation of any rule, policy or procedure of the Company (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate where the Participant is employed), including but not limited to the Code of Conduct of the Company (and any such Subsidiary or Affiliate); (iii) before a Change of Control, a failure to be in compliance with any share ownership objectives of the Company applicable to the Participant, or (iv) before a Change of Control, any other conduct or act that the Company determines is injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any interest of the Company. The Participant agrees that the cancellation and rescission provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions, even where forfeiture of this Agreement is the penalty for violation; provided that the Participant may challenge the reasonableness of any forfeiture that occurs after a Change of Control.
No Employment Rights	The grant of the Award shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract between the Participant and the Company or the Participant's employer.
Discretionary Nature of Award	The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of the Award under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of an Award or any other forms of award permitted under the Plan or other benefits in lieu thereof in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares granted and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant's employment with the Participant's employer.
Extraordinary Benefit	The Participant's participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Award and any other awards granted under the Plan is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Participant's employment (and the Participant's employment contract, if any). Any grant under the Plan, including the grant of the Award, is not part of the Participant's normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments.
Value of Benefit	The future value of the Shares subject to this Award is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company shall not be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation, where applicable, between the Participant's local currency and the United States dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.
No Public Offering	The grant of the Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law). No employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is permitted to advise the Participant on whether the Participant should acquire Shares under the Plan and provide the Participant with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the Award. The acquisition of Shares involves certain risks, and the Participant should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition and disposition of Shares under the Plan. Further, the Participant should carefully review all of the materials related to the Award and the Plan, and the Participant should consult with the Participant's personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to the Participant's personal circumstances.

Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Laws	By participating in the Plan, the Participant expressly agrees to comply with the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policies and any other of its policies regarding xxxxxxx xxxxxxx or personal account dealing applicable to the Participant. Further, the Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that, depending on the country of residence of the Participant or the Participant’s broker, or where Shares are listed, the Participant may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect the Participant's ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., Award) or rights linked to the value of Shares, during such times the Participant is considered to have “inside information” or similar types of information regarding the Company as defined by the laws or regulations in the applicable country. Local xxxxxxx xxxxxxx laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant places before the Participant possessed such information. Furthermore, the Participant may be prohibited from (a) disclosing such information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (b) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities (including other employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company policies. The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that it is the Participant's responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Participant should consult the Participant’s personal advisor for additional information on any trading restrictions that may apply to the Participant.

The Participant agrees and consents to the Company's application, implementation and enforcement of (a) the Recoupment Policy, and (b) any provision of applicable law relating to cancellation, recoupment, rescission or payback of compensation and expressly agrees that the Company may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate the Recoupment Policy (as applicable to the Participant) or applicable law without further consent or action being required by the Participant. For purposes of the foregoing, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant's behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold the Participant's Shares and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement and the Recoupment Policy conflict, the terms of the Recoupment Policy shall prevail.
English Language	If the Participant is resident outside of the United States, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that it is the Participant's express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Award be drawn up in English. If the Participant received this Agreement, the Plan or any other document related to the Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

The Company collects, processes and uses the Participant’s personal data, which may include the Participant’s name, home or work address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant or the Participant’s employer. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will collect the Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating Shares or cash in settlement of the Award and implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
Severability	The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement will be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

Interpretation and Construction	This Agreement and the Plan shall be construed and interpreted by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Any interpretation or other determination by the Committee (including, but not limited to, correction of any defect or omission and reconciliation of any inconsistency in this Agreement or the Plan) shall be binding and conclusive. All determinations regarding enforcement, waiver or modification of the cancellation and rescission and other provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions relating to termination of employment, death and disability) shall be made in the Company's sole discretion.
