General. The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive in the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Executive will report directly to the Board of Directors (the "Board"). Subject to the direction and control of the Board, Executive will have all the responsibilities and powers normally associated with such position, and Executive will perform such other duties and responsibilities as may be designated from time to time by the Board.

General. The Participant shall vest in the PSUs to the extent provided in paragraph 5(b) (“Performance Requirement”) only if the Participant satisfies the requirements of paragraph 5(c) (“Five-Year Continuous Employment Requirement”), except as otherwise provided in paragraph 7 (“Early Cancellation/Accelerated Vesting of PSUs”).

General. The number of PSUs granted to the Participant, as specified in the Participant’s account under the 2018 Special PSU grant, is referred to as the “Target Number of PSUs.” The percentage of the Target Number of PSUs that shall vest will be based on Verizon’s annual average Return on Equity for the five-year period beginning August 1, 2018, and ending at the close of business on July 31, 2023 (the “Performance Period”). Notwithstanding paragraph 5(c), no portion of the Target Number of PSUs shall vest unless the Committee determines that Verizon’s average annual Return on Equity for the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 18%. If the Committee determines that Verizon’s average annual Return on Equity for the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 18%, the percentage of the Target Number of PSUs that shall vest (plus any additional PSUs added with respect to DEUs credited on the Target Number of PSUs prior to the Vesting Date (defined in paragraph 5(c)) will equal the PSU Vested Percentage (as defined below). For example, if # the Participant is granted 1,000 PSUs, and # those PSUs are credited with an additional 200 PSUs as a result of DEUs paid prior to the Vesting Date, and # the PSU Vested Percentage is 50%, the Participant will vest in (1,000 PSUs + 200 PSUs from DEUs) times 50%, or 600 PSUs, which shall be payable in shares of Verizon common stock as described in paragraph 6.

General. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 26 below, all disputes arising under or related to the Plan or this Agreement and all claims in which a Participant seeks damages or other relief that relate in any way to PSUs or other benefits of the Plan are subject to the dispute resolution procedure described below in this paragraph 25.

General. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, you agree that, with respect to all PSUs granted to you on or after January 1, 2007 and all short-term incentive awards made to you on or after January 1, 2007, to the extent the Company or any Related Company is required to materially restate any financial results based upon your willful misconduct or gross negligence while employed by the Company or any Related Company (and where such restatement would have resulted in a lower payment being made to you), you will be required to repay all previously paid or deferred # PSUs and # short-term incentive awards that were provided to you during the performance periods that are the subject of the restated financial results, plus a reasonable rate of interest. For purposes of this paragraph, “willful misconduct” and “gross negligence” shall be as determined by the Committee. The Audit Committee of the Verizon Board of Directors shall determine whether a material restatement of financial results has occurred. If you do not repay the entire amount required under this paragraph, the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, offset your obligation to repay against any source of income available to it, including but not limited to any money you may have in your nonqualified deferral accounts.

General. The Participant shall vest in the RSUs as follows: one-third of the total number of RSUs subject to this grant (including DEUs credited with respect to such RSUs) shall vest on March 6, 2019, one-third of the total number of RSUs subject to this grant (including DEUs credited with respect to such RSUs) shall vest on March 6, 2020, and the remaining number of RSUs subject to this grant (including DEUs credited with respect to such RSUs) shall vest on March 6, 2021. The Participant must be continuously employed by the Company or a Related Company (as defined in paragraph 13) from the date the RSUs are granted through each of the applicable vesting dates specified in this paragraph 5(a) as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the RSUs, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 7 (“Early Cancellation/Accelerated Vesting of RSUs”) or as otherwise provided by the Committee.

General. Purchaser has the right of first refusal to purchase the Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of any New Securities (as defined below) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement, provided, however, the Purchaser will have no right to purchase any such New Securities if Purchaser cannot demonstrate to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such Purchaser is at the time of the proposed issuance of such New Securities an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. A Purchaser’s “Pro Rata Share” for means the ratio of # the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock owned by such Major Purchaser, to # the Fully-Diluted Share Number.

General. In the event that the payments and benefits (the “Payments”) paid or provided to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise # constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (“[Section 280G]”), and # but for this Section 8, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (“[Section 4999]”), then the Payments shall be either # delivered in full, or # delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to excise tax under [Section 4999], whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by [Section 4999], results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payments, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payments may be taxable under [Section 4999]. The provisions of this Section 8 shall apply if, at the time of any change in ownership or control of the Company (within the meaning of [Section 280G]), the Company is an entity whose stock is readily tradable on an established securities market (or otherwise), within the meaning of [Section 280G].

General. The Executive’s employment shall continue until it is terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Upon service of a Notice of Termination (as defined below), the Executive shall resign from all offices and functions assumed in relation to this Agreement effective upon first request of the Company.

General. Except as provided in Section 8, vested Units shall be settled in shares of the common stock, $.01 par value, of the Company (“Shares”), on a one-for-one basis, as soon as practicable (but not more than 30 days) following each date on which one or more Units vest, provided in each case that Awardee has satisfied their tax withholding obligations with respect to such vesting as described in this Agreement. Shares, in a number equal to the number of Units that have so vested, will be issued by the Company in the name of Awardee by electronic book-entry transfer or credit of such shares to an account of Awardee maintained with such brokerage firm or other custodian as the Company determines. Alternatively, in the Company’s sole discretion, such issuance may be effected in such other manner (including through physical certificates) as the Company may determine and/or by transfer or credit to such other account of Awardee as the Company or Awardee may specify.
