Vesting. Subject to Section 9 and Section 11 below, on each of the dates set forth below (each a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company, the Participant will become vested in the below-stated percentage of his or her Award of Performance Units:

Vesting. Except as provided in Section 8(a), the vesting of your PSUs is dependent upon your remaining continuously employed with Stryker through March 21, 2019 (the “Vesting Date”) as well as upon the Company’s financial performance during the three-year period ending December 31, 2018 (the “Performance Period”). Specifically, the vesting of any of the PSUs is dependent upon attainment of the Threshold Performance Target as set forth in Section 3. If the Threshold Performance Target is attained, then the vesting of 50% of the PSUs (the “EPS PSUs”) is dependent on Adjusted EPS Growth as set forth in Section 4, and vesting of the remaining 50% of the PSUs (the “Sales Growth PSUs”) is dependent on the Sales Growth Percentile Ranking as set forth in Section 5. The actual number of your PSUs that become vested, if any, shall be determined based on exercise of negative discretion by the Committee in accordance with Sections 4, 5 and 6 below.

Vesting. The Shares shall vest as follows:

Vesting. Subject to clauses # and Section 2 below, each Award of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall vest with respect to one-third of the Shares underlying such Award (disregarding fractional Shares) on May 15 of each of the three consecutive calendar years following the year in which such Award is granted; provided, however, that if an Award is granted between the Annual Meeting and December 31 pursuant to Section 1(b)(i), the first vesting shall occur on May 15 of the second calendar year following the year in which such Award is granted.

Vesting. The Restricted Shares shall vest and be released from escrow to the Grantee under this Agreement in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2.1 and the other conditions precedent to the release from escrow of the eligible Restricted Shares.

Vesting. The Award shall vest in installments over a three (3) year period, commencing on the Grant Date, at the rate of 25% effective on the first and second anniversaries of the Grant Date and 50% on the third anniversary of the Grant Date; provided that you have not incurred a Termination of Directorship (as defined below) prior to the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Award shall become fully vested prior to your Termination of Directorship upon # your death or # a Change in Control. The date that an RSU becomes vested shall be referred to herein as the “Vesting Date”.

Vesting. The Units granted on the date of this Agreement, and any Units granted hereafter, shall be subject to forfeiture until the Units vest. The units shall vest in full upon the earlier of # the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement and # the day immediately preceding the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company next occurring after the date of this Agreement, provided that Participant is a Director of the Company on such date, or upon an earlier Change in Control, death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, actions taken in compliance with that certain Stockholder’s Agreement dated as of September 8, 2000, among the Company, Duchossois Industries, Inc. and subsequent signatories thereto, as amended from time to time, shall not be deemed a Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means that Participant becomes “disabled” within the meaning of [Section 409A(a)(2)(C)] of the Code or any successor provision and the applicable regulations thereunder. Any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to such Units shall vest at the same time as such Units vest.

Vesting. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, effective as of the “Closing Date” (as such term is defined in the HCS Asset Sale Agreement), the HCS Employees shall be 100% vested in their Accounts under the Plan.

Vesting. The Units and all related Dividend Equivalents shall not be delivered to the Employee and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Employee until such Units have vested based on achievement of the performance goals set forth in [Schedule A] and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Any Units earned based on achievement of the specific performance goals shall vest when the Committee certifies the payout level as a result of such performance achievement, and the Shares representing such vested Units shall be paid to the Employee no later than 90 days following the end of the performance period.

Scheduled Vesting. The number of Units that have been earned during the Performance Period, as determined by the Committee in accordance with [Exhibit 1], will vest on the Scheduled Vesting Date, so long as your Service has been continuous from the Grant Date to the Scheduled Vesting Date. For these purposes, the “Scheduled Vesting Date” means the date the Committee certifies # the degree to which
