ALEXANDER & BALDWIN, INC.
EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK
UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
RECITALS
A. The
Corporation has implemented the Plan for the purpose of providing
eligible persons in the Corporation’s service with the
opportunity to participate in one or more cash or equity incentive
compensation programs designed to encourage them to continue their
service relationship with the Corporation.
B. Participant
is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or any Parent or
Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is
intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with
the Corporation’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to
Participant under the Stock Issuance Program.
C. All
capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned
to them in the attached Appendix A.
NOW, THEREFORE , it is
hereby agreed as follows:
1.
Grant of Restricted Stock Units
. The Corporation hereby awards to Participant, as
of the Award Date, restricted stock units under the Plan. The
number of shares of Common Stock underlying the awarded restricted
stock units and the applicable performance vesting requirements for
those units and the underlying Shares are set forth in the Award
Notice. The remaining terms and conditions governing the Award
shall be as set forth in this Agreement.
2.
Limited Transferability
. Prior to the actual issuance of the Shares which
vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the
restricted stock units subject to the Award or the underlying
Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those units or
Shares, including (without limitation) any short sale or any
acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other
instrument tied to the value of those Shares. However, any Shares
which vest hereunder but otherwise remain unissued at the time of
Participant’s death may be transferred pursuant to the
provisions of Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance
or to Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries
of this Award. Participant may also direct the Corporation to
record the ownership of any Shares which in fact vest and become
issuable hereunder in the name of a revocable living trust
established for the exclusive benefit of Participant or Participant
and his or her spouse. Participant may make such a beneficiary
designation or ownership directive at any time by filing the
appropriate form with the Plan Administrator or its
designee.
3.
Vesting Requirements
. The Shares subject to the Award shall initially be
unvested and shall vest only in accordance with the vesting
provisions of this Paragraph 3 or the special vesting acceleration
provisions of Paragraph 5. The actual number of Shares in which
Participant shall vest under this Paragraph 3 shall be determined
pursuant to a two-step process: (i) first there shall be calculated
the maximum number of Shares in which Participant can
vest
based upon the level at which the Performance Goals
specified on Schedule I to the Award Notice are actually attained
and (ii) then the number of the Performance Shares resulting from
the clause (i) calculation in which Participant shall actually vest
shall be determined on the basis of his or her completion of the
applicable Service vesting provisions set forth below. Accordingly,
the vesting of the Shares shall be calculated as
follows:
(a)
Performance Vesting : As soon as administratively practicable following the
completion of the Performance Period, the Plan Administrator shall
determine the applicable number of Performance Shares in accordance
with the provisions of the Award Notice and Schedule I attached
thereto.
(b)
Service Vesting : The Performance Shares so determined represent the maximum
number of Shares in which Participant can vest hereunder. The
actual number of Shares in which Participant shall vest shall be
determined as follows:
- If
Participant continues in Service through the completion of the
Performance Period, Participant shall vest in one hundred percent
(100%) of the Performance Shares.
- If
Participant ceases Service prior to the completion of the
Performance Period by reason of Early Retirement, Normal
Retirement, death or Permanent Disability, then Participant shall
vest in a portion of the Performance Shares determined by
multiplying the maximum number of Performance Shares in which
Participant could vest, based on the actual level of Performance
Goal attainment for the Performance Period, by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of months of actual Service
completed by Participant in such Performance Period (rounded to the
closest whole month), and the denominator of which is the number of
months (rounded to the closest whole number) constituting the
entire Performance Period.
- If
Participant’s Service ceases for any other reason prior to
the completion of the Performance Period, then Participant shall
not vest in any of the Shares.
Schedule I attached to this Agreement sets forth
examples illustrating the calculation of the number of Shares in
which the Participant may vest based upon hypothetical levels of
Performance Goal attainment and service vesting
requirements.

Stockholder Rights and Dividend
Equivalents
|
(a) The
holder of this Award shall not have any stockholder rights,
including voting, dividend or liquidation rights, with respect to
the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the
record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance upon
the Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding
Taxes.
2
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, should any dividend or other distribution payable
other than in shares of Common Stock, whether regular or
extraordinary, be declared and paid on the Corporation’s
outstanding Common Stock in one or more calendar years during which
Shares remain subject to this Award (i.e., those Shares are not
otherwise issued and outstanding for purposes of entitlement to the
dividend or distribution), then a special book account shall be
established for Participant and credited with a phantom dividend
equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have
been paid on the number of Shares issuable under this Award at
Target Level Attainment had that number of Shares been issued and
outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. The
phantom dividend equivalents credited to the Participant’s
book account during a particular calendar year shall be distributed
to Participant (in cash or such other form as the Plan
Administrator may deem appropriate in its sole discretion) in one
or more installments completed prior to the last day of that
calendar year. However, each such distribution shall be subject to
the Corporation’s collection of the Withholding Taxes
applicable to that distribution.
5.
Change in Control . The following provisions shall apply only to the extent a
Change in Control is consummated prior to the completion of the
applicable Performance Period and shall have no force or effect in
the event the closing of the Change in Control occurs after the
completion of such Performance Period.
(a) Any
restricted stock units subject to this Award at the time of such
Change in Control may be assumed by the successor entity or
otherwise continued in full force and effect or may be replaced
with a cash retention program of the successor entity which
preserves the Fair Market Value of the maximum number of Shares
issuable under this Award at Extraordinary Level Attainment and
provides for subsequent payout of that value in accordance with the
same performance and Service vesting requirements applicable to the
Award. In the event of such assumption or continuation of this
Award or such replacement of the Award with a cash retention
program, no accelerated vesting of the restricted stock units shall
occur at the time of the Change in Control.
(b) In the
event this Award is assumed or otherwise continued in effect, the
restricted stock units subject to the Award shall be adjusted
immediately after the consummation of the Change in Control so as
to apply to the number and class of securities into which the
maximum number of Shares issuable under this Award at Extraordinary
Level Attainment would have been converted in consummation of that
Change in Control had those Shares actually been issued and
outstanding at that time. To the extent the actual holders of the
outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their
Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the
successor corporation (or parent entity) may, in connection with
the assumption or continuation of the restricted stock units
subject to the Award at that time but subject to the Plan
Administrator’s approval, substitute one or more shares of
its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the
cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in the Change in
Control transaction, provided such common stock is readily tradable
on an established U.S. securities exchange or market.
(c) Immediately upon
an Involuntary Termination (i) within twenty-four (24) months
following the Change in Control in which this Award is assumed or
otherwise
3
continued in effect and (ii) prior to the completion
of the Performance Period, Participant shall vest in that number of
Shares equal to the Performance Shares which would have resulted
upon the Corporation’s achievement of each applicable
Performance Goal at Target Level Attainment, and that number of
Shares shall be immediately issued to Participant, subject to the
Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
In addition, any balance credited at the time of such Involuntary
Termination to the phantom dividend equivalent book account
maintained for the Participant under Paragraph 4(b) shall be
immediately distributed to Participant, subject to the
Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
Should the restricted stock units be replaced with a cash retention
plan in accordance with Paragraph 5(a), then the portion of that
balance which would have been earned had the Corporation achieved
each of the applicable Performance Goals at Target Level Attainment
and had Participant continued in Service through the completion of
the Performance Period shall immediately be paid to Participant in
a lump sum upon such Involuntary Termination, subject to the
Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding
Taxes; provided,
however, that Participant shall be
entitled to such payment only if Participant’s Involuntary
Termination occurs within twenty-four (24) months following the
Change in Control and prior to the completion of the Performance
Period. In no event, however, shall any share issuance or payment
required under this Paragraph 5(c) be effected later than
the later of (i) the end of the calendar year in which such Involuntary
Termination occurs or (ii) the fifteenth (15th) of the third (3rd)
calendar month following the date of such Involuntary Termination.
Except for the number of Shares and portion of the cash retention
balance calculated in accordance with the foregoing provisions of
this Paragraph 5(c), Participant shall have no further right or
entitlement to any additional Shares or other portion of the cash
retention balance upon such Involuntary Termination. Should such
Involuntary Termination occur after the completion of the
Performance Period, Participant’s rights and entitlement
hereunder shall be governed solely by the provisions of Paragraph
3.
(d) If the
restricted stock units subject to this Award at the time of the
Change in Control are not assumed or otherwise continued in effect
or replaced with a cash retention program in accordance with
Paragraph 5(a), then Participant shall, immediately prior to the
closing of such Change in Control, vest in that number of Shares
equal to the Performance Shares which would have resulted upon the
Corporation’s achievement of each applicable Performance Goal
at Target Level Attainment. The vested Shares will be issued
immediately on the effective date of such Change in Control or as
soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event
more than fifteen (15) business days after such effective date, or
will otherwise be converted into the right to receive the same
consideration per share of Common Stock payable to the other
stockholders of the Corporation in consummation of the Change in
Control and distributed at the same time as such stockholder
payments, but in no event shall such distribution to Participant be
completed later than the later of (i) the end of the
calendar year in which such Change in Control is effected or (ii)
the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month
following the effective date of that Change in Control. Each
issuance or distribution made under this Paragraph 5(c) shall be
subject to the Corporation’s collection of the applicable
Withholding Taxes. Except for the number of Shares so calculated,
Participant shall have no further right or entitlement to any
additional Shares.
4
(e) This
Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation
to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital
or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate
or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets.
6.
Change in Control Benefit
Agreement . Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, if Participant is, at the time
of a change in control or ownership of the Corporation (whether or
not that transaction constitutes a Change in Control hereunder), a
party to a Change in Control Benefit Agreement with the
Corporation, then the provisions of that agreement shall, to the
extent applicable to this Award, govern Participant’s rights
and benefits with respect to the restricted stock units and
underlying Shares subject to this Agreement, and in the event of
any conflict between the provisions of that Change in Control
Benefit Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of the Change
in Control Benefit Agreement shall be controlling.
7.
Adjustment in Shares
. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by
reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction,
extraordinary dividend or distribution or other change affecting
the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
Corporation’s receipt of consideration, or should the value
of outstanding shares of Common Stock be substantially reduced as a
result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or
distribution, or should there occur any merger, consolidation or
other reorganization, then equitable adjustments shall be made by
the Plan Administrator to the total number and/or class of
securities issuable pursuant to this Award in order to reflect such
change and thereby prevent a dilution or enlargement of benefits
hereunder. In making such equitable adjustments, the Plan
Administrator shall take into account any amounts credited to
Participant’s book account under Paragraph 4(b) in connection
with the transaction, and the determination of the Plan
Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. In the event
of any Change in Control transaction, the adjustment
