The
number of Awarded Shares earned for achievement above threshold levels but
between the levels shown above will be calculated using
interpolation.
In
evaluating the achievement of each measure as of the end of each fiscal year in
the performance period, the Committee will adjust the calculation of the
Attainment Level to exclude restructuring or reorganization costs (as
defined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) incurred in any fiscal year in the
performance period to the extent that related savings from the program will
occur in a future fiscal year, and will include these costs in the period in
which, and to the extent that, cost savings are anticipated during the
performance period.
Article
4. Termination Provisions
Except as
provided below, a Participant shall be eligible for payment of Awarded Shares,
as determined in Section 3, only if the Participant’s employment with the
Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliate continues through the end of the Performance
Period.
In the
event of a Participant’s Disability or Retirement at age 65 or later during the
Performance Period, a pro rata payment will be made for the number of full
months worked during the Performance Period, based on achievement of the
Performance Measures over the entire Performance Period. In the case
of death, payment shall be calculated and paid as provided in the
Program.
In the
event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), all outstanding Awards
will automatically vest and be paid out in cash at the Target Award level or the
actual performance level as of the Change of Control, whichever is
higher. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Plan
to the contrary, in the event such Change of Control does not constitute a
"change in control event" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder, the cash payment of Awards
described in the preceding sentence shall be made within 74 days following the
close of the Performance Period.
Article
5. Rights as a Stockholder
During
the Performance Period, the Participant shall have no rights of a stockholder
with respect to the PSUs or the Awarded Shares. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Participant shall be entitled to receive any dividend equivalents
declared by the Board, as provided in the Program.
Article
6. Form and Timing of Payment
Except as
set forth in Article 4, payment of Awarded Shares shall be made in the form of
shares of Common Stock within seventy-four (74) calendar days following the
close of the Performance Period.
Article
7. Nontransferability
PSUs may
not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. The Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall be
exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or the
Participant’s legal representative.
Article
8. Administration
It is
expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer, construe,
and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of
the Plan, the Program and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the
Participant.
Article
9. Withholding Taxes
No later
than the date as of which an amount first becomes includable in the gross income
of the Participant for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Awarded
Shares, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local,
or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with
respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
withholding obligations (up to the minimum statutory amount required to be
withheld by the Company) may be settled with shares of Common Stock, including
the Awarded Shares that give rise to the withholding requirement or shares of
Common Stock already owned by the Participant. The obligations of the Company
under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the
Company and its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted
by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due
to the Participant. Participant, therefore, hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably elects, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 9
or elsewhere in this Agreement, to satisfy any and all federal, state, local,
and foreign taxes of any kind that may be withheld by the Company in connection
with Participant’s Awarded Shares (the “Withholding Taxes”) by
electing one of the following options; provided that in all cases,
the Company shall have the right to receive not less than the minimum amount of
the Withholding Taxes that the Company is required by law to withhold (the “Mandatory Withholding
Taxes”); and further
provided that an amount equal to the Mandatory Withholding Taxes in
respect of any cash payment to Participant shall be withheld from any such cash
payment:
OPTION
1:
|
¨
|
Authorizing
and directing the Company to deduct from the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and deliverable to Participant pursuant to this
Agreement the number of shares having a value equal to the Mandatory
Withholding Taxes.
|
OPTION
2:
|
¨
|
Paying
to the Company in cash an amount up to the Withholding Taxes but not less
than the Mandatory Withholding
Taxes.
|
OPTION
3:
|
¨
|
Tendering
to the Company the number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock owned by
the Participant prior to the date on which Withholding Taxes are due and
having a value equal to the Mandatory Withholding
Taxes.
|
In the event that none of the payment
options set forth above is specified, the Participant’s election shall be deemed
to be Option 1, and the Company shall proceed accordingly. The
Company may refuse to deliver the shares of Common Stock if the Participant
fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Withholding
Taxes as described in this Article 9.
Regardless
of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all Withholding Taxes,
the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Withholding
Taxes legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant’s
responsibility and that the Company (i) make no representations or
undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with
any aspects of the PSUs, including the grant or vesting of the PSUs, the
subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock received upon vesting of the PSUs, if
any, and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not
commit to structure the terms of the Award of any aspect of the Award to reduce
or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Withholding Taxes.
Article

Agreement and the Plan as it relates to this Award or under applicable law, and

B. The
grant of PSUs to the Participant in any year shall give the Participant neither
any right to similar grants in future years nor any right to be retained in the
employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, such employment being
terminable to the same extent as if the Program and this Agreement were not in
effect. The right and power of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
to dismiss or discharge the Participant is specifically and unqualifiedly
unimpaired by this Agreement.

such other address as the Participant may specify in writing to the Secretary of
the Company by a notice delivered in accordance with this
paragraph.

federal courts for the United States for the Western District of Washington, and
no other courts where this grant is made and/or to be performed.
E. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor of
the Company and, to the extent specifically provided herein and in the Plan and
the Program, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the
Participant’s heirs, legal representatives, and successors.
F. If
any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
G. This
Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered will be an original, but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument. In pleading or proving this Agreement,
it will not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such
counterpart.
H. The
Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to
the PSUs granted under, and participation in, the Program or future PSUs that
may be granted under the Program by electronic means or to request the
Participant’s consent to participate in the Program by electronic
