2010 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
|
The Plan and Other Agreements |
|
The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. You and the Company agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement or the attached cover sheet, certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan.
This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Award of Stock Units. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations are superseded. |
|
|
|
|
|
Award of Stock Units |
|
The Company awards you the number of Stock Units shown on the cover sheet of this Agreement. The Award is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. |
|
|
|
|
|
Vesting |
|
The Stock Units subject to this Award shall become vested pursuant to the Vesting Schedule described in the cover sheet of this Agreement. Only vested Stock Units shall be eligible for settlement. |
|
|
|
|
|
Settlement |
|
To the extent a Stock Unit and Dividend Equivalents (defined in the section below) becomes vested and subject to your satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations as discussed below, each vested Stock Unit and each vested Dividend Equivalent will entitle you to receive one Share which will be distributed to you on the earliest to occur of: (i) within thirty (30) days after vesting of the Stock Units; (ii) within ten (10) days after your Termination Date; or (iii) the consummation of a Change In Control.
Issuance of Shares shall be in complete satisfaction of such vested Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents. Such settled Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents shall be immediately canceled and no longer outstanding and you shall have no further rights or entitlements related to those settled Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents. |
|
|
|
|
|
Dividend Equivalents |
|
If the Company declares and pays a dividend on the Shares, you shall be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the dividends you would have received if you had been the owner of a number of Shares (as opposed to Stock Units) on such dividend payment date (the “Dividend Equivalents”). Any Dividend Equivalents deriving from a cash dividend shall be converted into additional Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the dividend payment date, rounded down to the nearest full Share. Any Dividend |
|
|
|
Equivalents deriving from a dividend of Shares shall be converted into additional Stock Units on a one-for-one basis. You shall continue to be credited with Xxxxxxxx Equivalents until the settlement date (as described in the preceding Settlement section). The Dividend Equivalents so credited shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as this Award, and they shall vest (or, if applicable, be forfeited) and be settled, without interest thereon, in the same manner and at the same time as this Award, as if they had been granted at the same time as such Award. Any Dividend Equivalents so credited which do not vest shall be forfeited and retained, without consideration, by the Company. Your rights to Dividend Equivalents shall cease upon forfeiture or settlement of the Stock Units. |
|
|
|
|
|
No Assignment |
|
Stock Units shall not be sold, anticipated, assigned, attached, garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law. However, this shall not preclude a transfer of vested Stock Units by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In addition, pursuant to Company procedures, you may designate a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding vested Stock Units in the event of your death. Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to recognize your spouse’s interest in your Award in any way. |
|
|
|
|
|
Leaves of Absence |
|
For purposes of this Award, your Service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company (or its Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate) in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by applicable law. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work.
The Company determines which leaves count for this purpose (along with determining the effect of a leave of absence on vesting of the Award), and when your Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan. |
|
|
|
|
|
Voting and Other Rights |
|
A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, a holder of outstanding Stock Units has none of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company, including no right to vote. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Stock Units create no fiduciary duty of the Company to you and only represent an unfunded and unsecured contractual obligation of the Company. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. |
|
|
|
You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until Shares have been issued to you. |
|
|
|
|
|
Restrictions on Issuance |
|
The Company will not issue any Shares if the issuance of such Shares at that time would violate any law or regulation. |
|
|
|
|
|
Taxes and Withholding |
|
You will be solely responsible for payment of any and all applicable taxes, including without limitation any penalties or interest based upon such tax obligations, associated with this Award.
The delivery to you of any Shares underlying vested Stock Units will not be permitted unless and until you have satisfied any withholding or other taxes that may be due. Any such tax withholding obligations may be settled in the Company’s discretion by the Company withholding and retaining a portion of the Shares from the Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to you under the vesting Stock Units as provided in the next two sentences. Such withheld Shares will be applied to pay the withholding obligation by using the aggregate Fair Market Value of the withheld Shares as of the date of vesting. You will be delivered the net amount of vested Shares after the Share withholding has been effected and you will not receive the withheld Shares. The Company will not deliver any fractional number of Shares.
To the extent applicable, each payment provided to you shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Code Section 409A. It is intended that payments under this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A but the Company makes no representation or covenant to ensure that the payments under this Agreement are exempt from, or compliant with, Code Section 409A, and will have no liability to you or any other party if a payment under this Agreement that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Code Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if, upon your Separation From Service, you are then a Specified Employee, then to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company shall defer payment of certain of the amounts owed to you under this Agreement until the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after the Company receives written confirmation of your death or (ii) the first business day of the seventh month following your separation from service. Any such delayed payments shall be made to you (or your beneficiaries) without interest. |
|
|
|
|
|
Restrictions on Resale |
|
By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell, transfer, dispose of, pledge, hypothecate, make any short sale of, or otherwise effect a similar transaction of any Shares acquired under this Award (each a “Sale Prohibition”) at a time when applicable laws, regulations or |
|
|
|
Company or underwriter trading policies prohibit the disposition of Shares. The Company shall have the right to designate one or more periods of time, each of which generally will not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in length (provided however, that such period may be extended in connection with the Company’s release (or announcement of release) of earnings results or other material news or events), and to impose a Sale Prohibition, if the Company determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation(s) is needed in connection with a public offering of Shares or to comply with an underwriter’s request or trading policy, or could in any way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws with respect to any issuance of securities by the Company, facilitate the registration or qualification of any securities by the Company under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or facilitate the perfection of any exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws for the issuance or transfer of any securities. The Company may issue stop/transfer instructions and/or appropriately legend any stock certificates issued pursuant to this Award in order to ensure compliance with the foregoing. Any such Sale Prohibition shall not alter the vesting schedule set forth in this Agreement.
If the sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act, but an exemption is available which requires an investment or other representation, you shall represent and agree at the time of settlement of vested Stock Units that the Shares being acquired under this Award are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.
You may also be required, as a condition of this Award, to enter into any Company stockholder agreement or other agreements that are applicable to stockholders. |
|
|
|
|
|
No Retention Rights |
|
Your Award or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or any Parent or any Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity. The Company (or any Parent and any Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserves the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason. |
|
|
|
|
|
Extraordinary Compensation |
|
This Award and the Shares subject to the Award are not intended to constitute or replace any pension rights or compensation and are not to be considered compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of your normal or expected compensation, and in no way represent any portion of your salary, compensation or other remuneration for any purpose, including but not limited to, calculating |
|
|
|
any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of Service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments. |
|

Adjustments |
|
In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Company stock, the number of outstanding Stock Units covered by this Award may be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) pursuant to the Plan. Your Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity. |
