3. RESTRICTION PERIOD
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Plan, the restriction period begins on

4. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS
On each date that dividends are paid (each a “Dividend Payment Date”) on shares of the
Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) with respect to which
the record date (the “Record Date”) also occurs during the Restriction Period, the Corporation will
credit to an account for the Employee an amount equal to the dividend paid on a share of the Common
Stock multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units. These dividend equivalent amounts shall
be paid to the Employee quarterly on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 during
the Restriction Period; provided, however, that if any such date falls on a non-business day, such
payment will be made on the business day immediately prior to such date. Any remaining dividend
equivalent amounts credited to the account of the Employee on the date that the Restricted Stock
Units are converted to shares of Common Stock, or subsequently credited to such account with
respect to a Record Date that occurs during the Restriction Period, shall be paid to the Employee
on the next successive Dividend Payment Date. The dividend equivalent amounts shall be paid from
the general assets of the Corporation and shall be treated and reported as additional compensation
for the year in which payment is made.
5. AWARD PAYOUT
Unless forfeited or converted and paid earlier as provided in Section 7 below, the Restricted
Stock Units granted hereunder will vest (“Vest”) and be converted into shares of Common Stock and
delivered to the Employee as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date (but in no event later
than 60 days following the Vesting Date) provided that the Employee is employed by the Corporation
on the Vesting Date. The vesting and conversion from Units to Common Stock will be one Unit for
one share of Common Stock.
6. TRANSFERABLE ONLY UPON DEATH
This Restricted Stock Unit grant shall not be assignable or transferable by the Employee
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
7. TERMINATION, RETIREMENT, DISABILITY OR DEATH
| (a) | Termination. If the Employee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than on account of death, Disability or Retirement (in each case, as defined below), whether by the employee or by the Corporation, and in the latter case whether with or without cause, then the Units will be forfeited upon such termination. |
| (b) | Retirement or Disability. If the Employee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated prior to the Vesting Date upon Retirement (as defined below) or as the result of a disability under circumstances entitling the Employee to the commencement of benefits under a long-term disability plan maintained by the Corporation (“Disability”), then the restriction period shall be accelerated so as to cause all outstanding units to be converted to shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that in the case of the Employee’s termination on account of Retirement or Disability, if the Vesting Date occurs following such termination but before the date which is six months following such termination, the Vesting Date shall be postponed until the date that is six months following such termination, but only to the extent that the Employee is determined by the Corporation to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A) on the date of such termination. “Retirement” is defined as termination of employment with the Corporation after reaching age 62 under circumstances that qualify for normal retirement in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Materials, Inc. Pension Plan; provided, that, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may in its sole discretion classify an Employee’s termination of employment as Retirement under other circumstances. |
| (c) | Death. If, prior to the Vesting Date, the Employee dies while employed by the Corporation or after termination by reason of Disability, then the Restriction Period shall lapse and the Vesting Period shall be accelerated and all outstanding |
Units shall be converted into shares of Common Stock and delivered to the Employee’s
estate or beneficiary.
| (d) | Committee Negative Discretion. The Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may in its sole discretion decide to reduce or eliminate any amount otherwise payable with respect to an award under Sections 7(b) or 7(c). |
8. TAX WITHHOLDING
At the time Units are converted into shares of Common Stock and delivered to the Employee, the
Employee will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the common shares
received. The Corporation shall withhold applicable taxes as required by law at the time of such
Vesting by deducting shares of Common Stock from the payment to satisfy the obligation prior to the
delivery of the certificates for shares of Common Stock. Withholding will be at the minimum rates
prescribed by law; therefore, the Employee may owe additional taxes as a result of the
distribution. The Employee may not request tax to be withheld at greater than the minimum rate.
If the Employee terminates employment on account of Disability or Retirement and the Units are not
forfeited, the Corporation may require the Employee to pay to the Corporation or withhold from the
Employee’s compensation, by canceling Units or otherwise, an amount equal to satisfy the obligation
to withhold federal employment taxes as required by law.
9. CHANGE IN CONTROL
In the event of a change in control of the Corporation, as defined in Section 11 of the Plan,
the Restriction Period of all outstanding Units shall lapse and the Vesting Date shall be
accelerated and all outstanding Units to convert to shares of Common Stock.
10. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN OR AWARDS
As provided in Section 8 of the Plan, subject to certain limitations contained within Section
8, the Board of Directors may at any time amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan and the Management
Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may at any time alter or amend all
Award Agreements under the Plan. Notwithstanding Section 8 of the Plan, no such amendment,
suspension or discontinuance of the Plan or alteration or amendment of this Award Agreement shall
accelerate any distribution under the Plan or, except with the Employee’s express written consent,
adversely affect any Restricted Stock Unit granted under this Award Agreement; provided, however,
that the Board of Directors or the Management Development and Compensation Committee may amend the
Plan or this Award Agreement to the extent it deems appropriate to cause this Agreement or the
Units hereunder to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(“Section 409A”) (including the distribution requirements thereunder) or be exempt from Section
409A or the tax penalty under Section 409A(a)(1)(B).
