2002 STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

 

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

[  ] AWARD

 

THIS AGREEMENT is made between SPX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the Recipient pursuant to the SPX Corporation 2002 Stock Compensation Plan and related plan documents (the "Plan") in combination with an SPX Restricted Stock Summary (the "Award Summary") to be displayed at the Fidelity website.  The Award Summary, which identifies the person to whom the Restricted Stock (as defined in Section 1 below) is granted (the "Recipient") and specifies the date (the "Award Date") and other details of the award, and the electronic acceptance of this Agreement (which also is to be displayed at the Fidelity website), are incorporated herein by reference.  The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                        Grant of Restricted Stock .  The Company hereby grants to the Recipient, pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, the number of shares of Company common stock (the "Common Stock") specified above (the "Restricted Stock"), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.  The Restricted Stock is divided into three separate tranches, for purposes of determining when the Period of Restriction ends with respect to the restricted shares.  The Recipient must accept the Restricted Stock award within 90 days after notification that the award is available for acceptance and in accordance with the instructions provided by the Company.  The award automatically will be rescinded upon the action of the Company, in its discretion, if the award is not accepted within 90 days after notification is sent to the Recipient indicating availability for acceptance.

 

2.                                        Restrictions .  The Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, until the termination of the applicable Period of Restriction (as defined in Section 4 below) or as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement.  Except for such restrictions, the Recipient will be treated as the owner of the shares of Restricted Stock and shall have all of the rights of a shareholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such shares and the right to receive all dividends, if any, paid on such shares.  If any dividends are paid in shares of Common Stock, the dividend shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

 

3.                                        Restricted Stock Certificates .  The stock certificate(s) representing the Restricted Stock shall be issued or held in book entry form promptly following the acceptance of this Agreement.  If a stock certificate is issued, it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company or such other custodian as may be designated by the Company, to be held until the end of the Period of Restriction or until the Restricted Stock is forfeited.  The certificates representing

 




 

shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement shall bear a legend in substantially the form set forth below:

 

The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth in the SPX Corporation 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, rules and administration adopted pursuant to such Plan, and a Restricted Stock award agreement with an Award Date of [  ].  A copy of the Plan, such rules and such Restricted Stock award agreement may be obtained from the Secretary of SPX Corporation.

 

4.                                        Period of Restriction .  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, unless vested or forfeited earlier as described in Section 6, 7, or 8 of this Agreement, as applicable, each tranche of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall become vested and freely transferable if, as of any Measurement Date for such tranche, Total Shareholder Return (defined below) for the Measurement Period associated with such Measurement Date is greater than the S&P Return (defined below) for such Measurement Period.  Such vesting shall occur upon certification by the Board of Directors (or appropriate Board committee) that the applicable performance criteria have been met. The following schedule sets forth the Measurement Date(s) and associated Measurement Periods for each tranche.

Tranche 3:

 

 

 

 

"Total Shareholder Return" shall mean the percentage change in the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock (using total shareholder return of the Common Stock as reported by Interactive Data Corporation) during the applicable Measurement Period.  "S&P Return" shall mean the percentage return of the S&P 500 Composite Index (using total shareholder return of the S&P 500 Composite Index as reported by Interactive Data Corporation) during the applicable Measurement Period.

 

Any tranche which has not vested as of [  ] shall be permanently forfeited.  Upon vesting, all vested shares shall cease to be considered Restricted Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, and the Recipient shall be entitled to have the legend removed from his or her Common Stock certificate(s).  The period prior to the vesting date with respect to a share of Restricted Stock is referred to as the "Period of Restriction."

 




 

5.                                        Vesting upon Termination due to Retirement, Disability or Death .

 

(a)                                   If, while the Restricted Stock is subject to a Period of Restriction, the Recipient terminates employment with the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company if the Recipient is then in the employ of such Subsidiary) by reason of disability (as determined by the Company) or death, then the portion of the Restricted Stock subject to a Period of Restriction shall become fully vested as of the date of employment termination without regard to the Period of Restriction set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                   If, while the Restricted Stock is subject to a period of Restriction, the Recipient terminates employment with the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company if the Recipient is then in the employ of such Subsidiary) by reason of retirement, such Restricted Stock shall vest only if (and at the time that) the specified performance goals are achieved.  A Recipient will be eligible for "retirement" treatment for purposes of this Agreement if, at the time of employment termination, he/she is age 55 or older, he/she has completed five years of service with the Company or a Subsidiary (provided that the Subsidiary has been directly or indirectly owned by the Company for at least three years), and he/she voluntarily elects to retire.

 

The term "Subsidiary" is defined in the Plan and means a corporation with respect to which the Company directly or indirectly owns 50% or more of the voting power.

 

6.                                        Forfeiture upon Termination due to Reason other than Retirement, Disability or Death .  If, prior to the end of the applicable Measurement Period(s) for any unvested tranche, the Recipient’s employment with the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company if the Recipient is then in the employ of such Subsidiary) terminates for a reason other than the Recipient’s retirement, disability or death, then the Recipient shall forfeit any such unvested tranche on the date of such employment termination.

 

7.                                        Vesting upon Change of Control .  In the event of a "Change of Control" of the Company as defined in this Section, the Restricted Stock shall cease to be subject to the Period of Restriction set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.  A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

 

(a)                                   Any "Person" (as defined below), excluding for this purpose (i) the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and (iii) any entity organized, appointed or established for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan that acquires beneficial ownership of common shares of the Company, is or becomes the "Beneficial Owner" (as defined below) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the common shares of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred as the result of an acquisition of common shares of the Company by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate beneficial ownership interest of any Person to twenty percent (20%) or more of the common shares of the Company then outstanding, but any subsequent increase in the beneficial ownership interest of such a Person in common shares of the

 




 

Company shall be deemed a Change of Control; and provided further that if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that a Person who has become the Beneficial Owner of common shares of the Company representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the common shares of the Company then outstanding has inadvertently reached that level of ownership interest, and if such Person divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of shares of the Company so that th
