SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF
PLAN
1.1
Establishment
. SPX Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, established the “SPX CORPORATION 2005
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION PLAN” (the
“Plan”) effective as of February 28,
2005.
1.2
Purpose . In conjunction with the SPX Corporation
1997 Non-Employee Directors’ Compensation Plan, the purpose
of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its
shareholders by providing a compensation program for Non-Employee
Directors. Such program utilizes, in part, Performance Shares
where the vesting of such Performance Shares depends on certain
performance thresholds, thereby presenting a strong incentive to
enhance shareholder value. By thus compensating Non-Employee
Directors, the Company seeks to attract, retain, compensate and
motivate those highly competent individuals whose judgment,
initiative, leadership, and efforts are important to the continued
success of the Company.
1.3
Restatement Effective
Date . The Plan is
hereby amended and restated effective as of December 17,
2008.
SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS
As used herein, the following terms
shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:
(a)
“Board” means the
board of directors of the Company.
(b)
“Change of
Control” means the occurrence of one of the
following:
(i)
any person,
entity or group (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Exchange Act), excluding, for this purpose, the
Company or any subsidiaries, any employee benefit plan of the
Company or its subsidiaries which acquires beneficial ownership of
voting securities of the Company, is or becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly of securities of the
Company representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined
voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;
provided, however, that no Change of Control shall be deemed to
have occurred as the result of an acquisition of securities of the
Company by the Company which, by reducing the number of voting
securities outstanding, increases the direct or indirect beneficial
ownership interest of any person to fifteen percent (15%) or more
of the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding securities, but any subsequent increase in the direct
or indirect beneficial ownership interest of such a person in the
Company shall be deemed a Change of Control; and provided further
that if the Board determines in good faith that a person who has
become the beneficial owner directly or indirectly of securities of
the Company representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the
combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding
securities has inadvertently reached that level of ownership
interest, and if such person divests as promptly as practicable a
sufficient amount of securities of the Company so that the person
no longer has a direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest in
fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then outstanding securities, then no Change of
Control shall be deemed to have occurred; or
(ii)
during any period
of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior
to the Effective Date), individuals who at the beginning of such
