The Company hereby awards you
a performance share award consisting of stock units (the “
Units ”) representing shares of Common Stock in the
amount set forth above (the “ Target Award ”).
The Units are subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in
the Plan and this Agreement. Each Unit corresponds to one share of
Common Stock. Upon the full or partial satisfaction by the Company
of certain performance criteria described in Paragraph 3, the
Units shall be converted into shares of Common Stock on the terms
and conditions set forth herein. Capitalized words not otherwise
defined in the text of this Agreement or in Paragraph 10 shall have
the same meanings as in the Plan.
By signing this Agreement (or
otherwise acknowledging, as instructed, your agreement thereto),
you acknowledge and agree that:
| |
• |
|
You have
received a copy of the Plan.
|
| |
• |
|
You have read
and understand the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.
|
| |
• |
|
You
understand and agree that the Committee has the right to reduce,
without your consent, through the exercise of Negative Discretion,
the amount of the award earned by you hereunder, and it is
anticipated that the Committee will exercise such Negative
Discretion with respect to the amount of such final
award.
|
| |
• |
|
The Company
has the right, without your prior consent, to amend or modify the
terms of the Plan or this Agreement to the extent that the
Committee deems it necessary to avoid adverse or unintended tax
consequences to you under Section 409A. Such amendments or
modifications may limit or eliminate certain rights otherwise
available to you under the Plan and/or this Agreement.
|
1. No Stockholder Rights
Until Issuance of Shares . No shares of Common Stock
represented by the Units will be earmarked for you or your account,
and you will not have any of the rights of a stockholder with
respect to such shares until such time as the shares are issued to
you in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2. No Transfer of
Units . You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise
encumber or dispose of the Units granted hereunder.
3. Conversion to Common
Stock .
(a) General Rule . The
Committee shall establish the EPS Target for the Performance Year
and the corresponding Performance Grid within the 90-day period
beginning on January 1 st of the Performance Year.
Subject to the Committee’s exercise of Negative Discretion,
the award to you pursuant to this Agreement shall be based upon the
Company’s EPS for the Performance Year and the payment
amounts specified in the Performance Grid (up to a maximum of 200%
of the Target Award); provided , however , that,
subject to the exercise of Negative Discretion, you shall earn 25%
of the Target Award if the Company has positive Consolidated
Earnings for the Performance Year. At a meeting of the Committee to
be held within the 90-day period following the end of the
Performance Year, the Committee shall (i) certify for purposes
of this Agreement the Company’s EPS, if any, for the
Performance Year and determine whether the Company has achieved
positive Consolidated Earnings for the Performance Year and
(ii) exercise any Negative Discretion with respect to the
amount earned by you hereunder. Subject to your applicable Deferral
Election or Re-Deferral Election, as the case may be, the
percentage of Units earned by you hereunder after the exercise of
Negative Discretion shall be converted, as of the Conversion Date,
into Common Stock, and all rights with respect to any remaining
portion of the Units hereunder shall be forfeited and surrendered
to the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, upon your forfeiture for any reason of all rights to the
Units granted hereunder, such Units shall, for all purposes of the
Plan and this Agreement, be deemed terminated and without further
force or effect as of the date of such forfeiture.
(b) Rounding . The
number of Units settled in accordance with the calculations
described in Paragraph 3(a) shall be rounded to the nearest whole
number.
4. Deferral Elections and
Re-Deferral Elections .
(a) Deferral Elections
. You are eligible to make a Deferral Election to defer the
issuance to you of all of the shares of Common Stock otherwise
issuable to you as of the Conversion Date. To make a Deferral
Election, you must complete an election form approved by the
Committee that conforms to the terms of the attached ANNEX A, and
return or otherwise submit such form to the Record Keeper as soon
as possible after the date hereof, but in no event later than the
date that is thirty (30) days following the Date of Grant
indicated above or such earlier date as may be required by
applicable law and communicated to you by the Committee. All
Deferral Elections must comply with the applicable procedures
established by the Committee from time to time. If you make such a
Deferral Election (or a Re-Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph
4(b)), then, as of the Conversion Date, the following shall apply:
(i) the Units that would have been earned as of the Conversion
Date (after application of Negative Discretion) shall be cancelled;
(ii) in exchange for such cancelled Units, you will have a
future right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the number of Units so cancelled, subject to Paragraph 5(d); and
(iii) as of the Conversion Date, the Company shall contribute
to the Restricted Stock Trust, subject to Paragraph 5(d), a number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Units cancelled,
which shares shall be used to satisfy the Company’s payment
obligations to you under your Deferral Election and this Agreement,
and such shares shall be
-2-
issued to you as of the Payment Date(s)
specified in your Deferral Election or Re–Deferral Election,
as the case may be, subject to Paragraphs 6, 7, 8 or 12.
Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 4(a) to the contrary, if
the Committee determines that a Deferral Election is not made
within the timeframe required by this Paragraph 4(a) or, as of the
last date for submitting such election, is not permitted under the
Agreement, such election shall be null and void and the shares (if
any) issuable to you under the Agreement will be issued as of the
Conversion Date.
(b) Re–Deferral
Elections . You may, in accordance with procedures established
from time to time by the Committee, also make a Re–Deferral
Election with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock earned
or eligible to be earned by you under this Agreement, even if you
do not make a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 4(a). Any
such Re–Deferral Election (i) must be in accordance with
the provisions of Section 409A (as reasonably interpreted by
the Committee), (ii) must be made in writing (unless otherwise
instructed by the Company) and received by the Record Keeper at
least 12 months prior to the Payment Date then in effect previously
specified in your Deferral Election (or prior Re–Deferral
Election) or established under the terms of this Agreement or, if a
Deferral Election or a prior Re-Deferral Election is not in effect,
at least 12 months prior to the Conversion Date and (iii) must
delay issuance of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to
you under this Agreement for a period of not less than five years
from such Payment Date or if, a Deferral Election or a prior
Re-Deferral Election is not in effect, five years from the
Conversion Date, as the case may be. To the extent that a Payment
Date is delayed pursuant to Paragraph 7(a)(i)(B), (C) or (D),
the one-year period referenced in clause (ii) and the
five-year period referenced in clause (iii) of this Paragraph
4(b) shall be measured from the Conversion Date. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) a
Re–Deferral Election will be permitted or honored solely to
the extent that it is timely and conforms to the Agreement and
(B) issuance of amounts subject to an applicable
Re–Deferral Election shall not occur prior to the Payment
