ALEXANDER & BALDWIN,
INC.
NON-EXECUTIVE
PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
AGREEMENT
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.
L
imited 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 : Within sixty (60)
days 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:
(i) If
Participant continues in Service through the completion of the
Performance Period, Participant shall vest in one third of the
Performance Shares. If the Performance Period is
coincident with the calendar year, then the Shares underlying those
particular Performance Shares shall be issued to Participant during
the period beginning with the first business day of the succeeding
calendar year and ending on March 15th of that year. If the
Performance Period is not coincident with the calendar year, then
the Shares underlying those particular Performance Shares shall be
issued within sixty (60) days following the completion date of that
Performance Period or as soon as administratively practicable
thereafter, but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) day of
the third (3rd) calendar month following such completion date. The
Participant shall vest in the balance of the Performance Shares in
two (2) successive equal annual installments upon his or her
completion of each year of Service over the two-year period
measured from the first anniversary of the start date of the
Performance Period. The Shares in which Participant vests on each
such Service vesting date shall be issued on that date or as soon
as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event later
than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month
following such Service vesting date.
(ii) 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,
upon the completion of such Performance Period, vest in a portion
of the Performance Shares determined by multiplying (x) the maximum
number of Performance Shares in which Participant would have
vested, based on the actual level of Performance Goal attainment
for the Performance Period, had Participant completed the three
(3)-year Service vesting requirement set forth in subparagraph (i)
above by (y) 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 thirty-six (36) months. If the
Performance Period is coincident with the calendar year, then the
Shares underlying the Performance Shares in which Participant vests
in accordance with this subparagraph (ii) shall be issued to
Participant during the period beginning with the first business day
of the succeeding calendar year and ending on March 15th of that
year. If the Performance Period is not coincident with the calendar
year, then the Shares underlying those vested Performance Shares
shall be issued within sixty (60) days following the completion
date of that Performance Period or as soon as administratively
practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the fifteenth
(15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following such
completion date.
(iii) If
Participant ceases Service on or after the completion
of the Performance Period by reason of Early Retirement or Normal
Retirement but prior to vesting in all the Performance Shares that
become subject to this Award on the basis of actual Performance
Goal attainment for the completed Performance Period, then
Participant shall vest in a portion of those unvested Performance
Shares determined by multiplying (x) the number of Performance
Shares in which Participant would have vested at the end of the
one-year Service vesting period in which such cessation of Service
occurs had Participant continued in Service throughout that
one-year period by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of months of actual Service completed by Participant during
that particular one-year Service vesting period (rounded to the
closest whole month), and the denominator of which is twelve (12)
months. The Shares underlying the Performance Shares in which
Participant vests pursuant to this subparagraph (iii) shall be
issued on the date of Participant’s Separation of Service due
to his or her Early Retirement or Normal Retirement or as soon as
administratively practicable thereafter but in no event later than
the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month
following the date of such Separation from Service.
(iv) If
Participant ceases Service on or after the completion
of the Performance Period by reason of death or Permanent
Disability but prior to vesting in all the Performance Shares that
become subject to this Award on the basis of actual Performance
Goal attainment for the completed Performance Period, then
Participant shall immediately vest in all those unvested
Performance Shares, and the Shares underlying those Performance
Shares shall be issued on the date of Participant’s
Separation of Service due to his or her death or Permanent
Disability or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter
but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third
(3rd) calendar month following the date of such Separation from
Service.
(v) If
Participant’s Service ceases for any other reason, whether
before or after the completion of the Performance Period but prior
to the completion of the Service vesting provisions
of this
Agreement, then Participant shall cease to have any further right
or entitlement to the unvested Shares at the time subject to this
Award and shall not vest in those unvested 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.
4. 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 upon their actual issuance following the Corporation’s
collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
(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 in accordance with the following
parameters:
(i) For any dividend
or distribution payable on or before the scheduled completion date
of the Performance Period, such phantom dividend shall be
equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have
been paid on the number of Shares issuable under this Award at
Extraordinary Level Attainment had that number of Shares been
issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or
distribution. The phantom dividend equivalents so credited shall be
distributed to Participant in a lump sum (in cash or such other
form as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in its sole
discretion) within the sixty (60)-day period following the
scheduled completion date of that Performance Period or as soon as
administratively practicable threafter, but in no event later than
the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd caledar month following
such scheduled completion date. However, to the extent one or
more Shares subject to this Award are cancelled due to the failure
to achieve Extraordinary Level Attainment of the Performance Goal
applicable to those Shares, no phantom dividend equivalents shall
be paid with respect to those particular Shares, and those phantom
dividend equivalents shall be cancelled.
(ii) For dividends or
distribution payable on the outstanding Common Stock after the
scheduled completion date of the Performance Period, such phantom
dividend shall be equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution
which would have been paid on the number of Shares at the time
subject to this Award based on actual Performance Goal attainment,
had that number of Shares been issued and outstanding and entitled
to that dividend or distribution. The phantom dividend equivalents
so credited to the Participant’s book account on one or more
dates in any calendar quarter following the scheduled
completion date of the Performance Period shall be distributed to
Participant in a lump sum (in cash or such other form as the Plan
Administrator may deem appropriate in its sole discretion) on the
last business day of that calendar quarter.
(iii) Each such
distribution under this Paragraph 4(b) shall be subject to the
Corporation’s collection of the Withholding Taxes applicable
to that distribution.
5. Change in Control
Prior to Completion of Performance Period .
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 on or after
the completion of such Performance Period.
(a) This Award may be
assumed by the successor entity or otherwise continued in full
force and effect or may be replaced with a cash retention account
established by the successor entity. In such
event, the following provisions shall be in effect:
(i) The Performance
Vesting requirements of this Agreement shall terminate, and the
assumption or continuation of this Award shall be effected in
accordance with Paragraph 5(b) below on the basis of the number of
Shares that would have been issuable under this Award had there
been Target Level Attainment of each of the Performance Goals. The
Service vesting and issuance provisions of Paragraph 3(b) shall
continue in effect with respect to the assumed or continued
Award.
(ii) If Participant
ceases Service prior to the completion of the Performance Period by
reason of Early Retirement, Normal Retirement, death or Disability,
then Participant shall, upon the closing of the Change in Control
or (if later) such cessation of Service, vest in that number of
Shares determined by multiplying (x) the number of Performance
Shares which would have resulted had the Corporation achieved each
applicable Performance Goal at Target Level Attainment and
Participant completed the three (3)-year Service vesting
requirement of Paragraph 3(b) by (y) 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 thirty-six (36)
months. The Shares in which Participant so vestsshall be
issued to Participant on the date the Shares would have otherwise
been issued pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 3(b)(ii) in the
absence of such Change in Control or, should such cessation of
Service occur within twelve (12) months after the closing of a
Qualifying Change in Control, on the date of Participant’s
Separation from Service due to such cessation of
Service.
(iii) Any cash retention
account established in replacement of this Award shall initially be
credited with the fair market value (at the effective time of the
Change in Control) of the number of Shares that would have been
issuable under this Award had there been Target Level Attainment of
each of the Performance Goals, and interest shall accrue on the
outstanding balance of such account, for the period commencing with
the closing date of the Change in Control and continuing through
the date of the final payment of the account, including any
deferred payment date under Paragraph 10, at a variable per annum
rate, compounded semi-annually, equal to the prime rate of interest
as in effect from time to time during such period, as determined on
the basis of the prime rate quotations published in The Wall
Street Journal . The cash retention account
shall vest and be paid out in accordance with the Service vesting
and issuance provisions of Paragraph 3(b) or (to the extent
applicable) in accordance with the vesting and issuance provisions
of Paragraph 5(a)(ii) above. The Participant’s interest in
the account shall at all times be that of a general, unsecured
creditor.
(iv) In the event of
such assumption or continuation of this Award or such replacement
of the Award with a cash retention account, no accelerated vesting
of the restricted stock units subject to this Award or the
underlying Shares shall occur at the time of the Change in Control,
and the Service-vesting provisions of Paragraph 3(b) shall continue
in full force and effect.
(b) In the event this
Award is assumed or otherwise continued in effect in connection
with such Change in Control, the securities subject to the Award
shall be adjusted immediately after the consummation of that Change
in Control so as to apply to the number and class of securities
into which the number of Shares issuable under this Award at Target
Level Attainment of each Performance Goal would have been converted
in consummation of that Change in Control had that number of 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 prior to the Change in Control,
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) Upon
Participant’s Separation from Service due to an Involuntary
Termination occurring within twelve (12) months after a Change in
Control in which this Award is assumed or continued in effect,
Participant shall immediately vest in that number of Shares equal
to the Performance Shares which would have resulted had the
Corporation achieved each applicable Performance Goal at Target
Level Attainment and Participant completed the three (3)-year
Service vesting requirement of Paragraph 3(b), and that number of
Shares shall be issued to Participant on the date those Shares
would have otherwise been issued pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 3(b) in the absence of such Change in Control or, should
such cessation of Service occur either within twelve (12) months
after the closing of a Qualifying Change in Control or after the
scheduled completion date of the Performance Period, on the date of
Participant’s Separation from Service due to such cessation
of Service. Should this Award be replaced with a cash retention
account in accordance with Paragraph 5(a), then that account shall
vest upon Participant’s Separation from Service due to the
Involuntary Termination, provided and only if
such Involuntary Termination occurs either within twelve (12)
months following the Change in Control. Such vested
balance, together with all accrued interest thereon through the
actual payment date, shall be distributed, as to each Share to
which the cash retention account pertains, on the
earlier of (x) each date that Share would have
otherwise been issued pursuant to the Service vesting and issuance
provisions set forth in Paragraph 3(b) in the absence of such
Change in Control or (y) the date of Participant’s Separation
from Service, provided such Separation from Service occurs either
within twelve (12) months after a Qualifying Change in Control or
after the scheduled completion date of the Performance
Period. Except for the number of Shares and the cash
retention balance distributed 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 cash
amounts hereunder upon such Separation from Service.
(d) If the Award is
not assumed by the successor entity or otherwise continued in
effect or replaced with a cash retention account in accordance with
Paragraph 5(a), then the following provisions shall apply in the
event the Change in Control is effected prior to the
completion of the Performance Period:
(i) If Participant
continues in Service through the effective date of the Change in
Control, then Participant shall, upon the closing of such Change in
Control, vest in that number of Shares equal to the Performance
Shares which would have resulted had the Corporation achieved each
applicable Performance Goal at Target Level Attainment and
Participant completed the three (3)-year Service vesting
requirement of Paragraph 3(b). The Shares in which
Participant so vests shall 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. Such consideration per Share shall be distributed to
Participant on the earliest to occur of (x) the date
the Share would have otherwise been issued pursuant to the Service
vesting and issuance provisions set forth in Paragraph 3(b) in the
absence of such Change in Control, (y) the date of
Participant’s Separation from Service, provided such
Separation from Service occurs either within twelve (12) months
after a Qualifying Change in Control or after the scheduled
completion date of the Performance Period, or (z) the first date
following a Qualifying Change in Control transaction on which the
distribution can be made without contravention of any applicable
provisions of Code Section 409A or as soon as administratively
practicable following the applicable distribution date, but in no
event later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd)
calendar month following that date.
(ii) To the extent the
consideration payable per share of Common Stock in the Change in
Control is in the form of cash, a fully-vested cash retention
account shall be established by the successor entity at the time of
such Change in Control for each Share that vests on an accelerated
basis in accordance with Section 5(d)(i) above. Such
account shall be credited with the amount of the cash consideration
payable for the Shares, and interest shall accrue on the
outstanding balance of that account, for the period commencing with
the closing date of the Change in Control and continuing through
the date of the final payment of the account, including any
deferred payment date under Paragraph 10, at a variable per annum
rate, compounded semi-annually, equal to the prime rate of interest
as in effect from time to time during such period, as determined on
the basis of the prime rate quotations published in The Wall
Street Journal . The cash retention account,
together with all accrued interest thereon through the actual
payment date, shall be distributed, as to each Share to which that
cash retention accounts pertains, in accordance with the foregoing
distribution provisions of Paragraph 5(d)(i) above, and
the Participant’s interest in the account shall at all times
be that of a general, unsecured creditor.
(iii) If Participant
ceases Service prior to the effective date of the Change in Control
by reason of Early Retirement, Normal Retirement, death or
Disability then Participant shall, upon the closing of such Change
in Control, vest in that number of Shares determined by multiplying
(x) the number of Performance Shares which would have resulted had
the Corporation achieved each applicable Performance Goal at Target
Level Attainment and Participant completed the three (3)-year
Service vesting requirement of Paragraph 3(b) by (y) 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 thirty-six
(36) months. The Shares in which Participant so vestsshall
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. Such consideration per Share shall be distributed to
Participant on the earlier of (A) the date the Share
would have otherwise been issued pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 3(b)(ii) in the absence of such Change in Control or (B)
the first date following a Qualifying Change in Control transaction
on which the distribution can be made without contravention of any
applicable provisions of Code Section 409A.
(iv) Except for the
amount of consideration so calculated, Participant shall have no
further right or entitlement to any additional Shares or
consideration under this Award.
6. Change in
Control On or After Completion of Performance Period
. The following provisions shall apply only to the
extent a Change in Control is consummated on or after
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 prior to the completion of such Performance
Period.
(a) This Award may be
assumed by the successor entity or otherwise continued in full
force and effect or may be replaced with a cash retention account
established by the successor entity. Any such
assum
