XXXXXX CORPORATION (the "Company") grants you (the "Participant") the
opportunity to receive restricted stock units ("Units"). The number of Units
will be based on performance conditions as specified below. Until the Vesting
Date except as specifically provided below, the Units are forfeitable and
nontransferable. The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors
(the "Committee") will administer this Agreement and any decision of the
Committee will be final and conclusive. Capitalized terms not defined here have
the meanings provided in the Xxxxxx Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan (the
"Plan").
The terms of the award are:
1. Performance Conditions: The performance conditions are set forth on
Exhibit A. Upon certification by the Committee of the completion of
the performance condition, the dollar equivalent of the percentage of
salary will be determined. The Participant will receive a number of
Units determined by dividing the dollar equivalent by the Fair Market
Value of a share of Company common stock. The Fair Market Value will
be determined by using the closing price of Company common stock on
the date that the completion of the performance condition is certified
by the Committee or its designee (the "Determination Date").
2. Vesting For Units. The Units will become vested and nonforfeitable on
the Vesting Date, provided the Participant is employed on that date or
previously had an approved termination of employment as provided in
Section 4. As soon as practicable after the Units become vested, the
Company will issue to the Participant for each vested Unit a share of
common stock of the Company.
3. Forfeiture of Units. If the Participant ceases to be an employee
before the Vesting Date in circumstances other than as described in
(a)-(d) below, any unvested Units will be forfeited. If the
Participant ceases to be an employee before the Vesting Date in the
circumstances set forth in (a) below, the
-1-
unvested Units will become fully vested and non-forfeitable, and
shares will be issued promptly following the Participant's Retirement
or death or Disability, as the case may be. If the Participant ceases
to be an employee before the Vesting Date in the circumstances set
forth in (b), (c) or (d) below, the number of Units set forth in this
Award will be vested on a pro rata basis based on a fraction of the
number of full months from the first anniversary of the Award Date
until the date of termination divided by 60, and shares will be issued
on the otherwise applicable Vesting Date. If the Participant ceases to
be an employee before the Vesting Date in the circumstance set forth
in (d) below, the Committee shall determine the number of Units set
forth in this Award to be vested and the date that the vested Units
will be issued.
(a) The Participant ceases to be an employee due to Retirement,
dies or incurs a Disability (as defined in the Plan);
(b) The Participant ceases to be an employee due to Early
Retirement (as defined in the Plan)
(c) The Participant's employment is terminated or interrupted
due to military service;
(d) The Committee determines that forfeiture should not occur
because the Participant had an approved termination of
employment. The Committee will in its sole discretion
determine whether or not to apply this provision and if so,
any additional terms or conditions applicable to the
determination, including but not limited to, whether or not
the vesting schedule should be adjusted.
4. Change of Control. Any unvested Units will become fully vested and
non-forfeitable and will be paid to the Participant if, within 12
months after a Change in Control, the Participant is involuntarily
terminated without Cause or terminates employment for Good Reason.
5. Forfeiture and Restitution. If during the period of the Participant's
employment and two years thereafter, the Participant (1) becomes
associated with, recruits or solicits customers or other employees of
the Employer for, is employed by, renders services to, or owns any
interest in (other than any nonsubstantial interest, as determined by
the Committee) any business that is in competition with Xxxxxx or its
Subsidiaries, (2) has his employment terminated by his Employer for
Cause, or (3) engages in, or has engaged in, conduct which the
Committee determines to be detrimental to the interests of Xxxxxx, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, (A) cancel this Award, and/or
(B) require the Participant to repay by delivery of an equivalent
number of shares any payment received under this Award within the
previous two years.
-2-
6. Transfer Restrictions. The Participant's rights to the Units are not
subject to sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or
encumbrance.
7. Tax Withholding. Unless alternative arrangements are made by the
Participant, the Company will withhold from the payment for the vested
Units shares with a fair market value equal to any required foreign,
federal, state, or local income, employment or other taxes imposed on
the payment. The fair market value will be the closing sale price of
the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the
Vesting Date.
8. Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations stated above, this
Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Participant's legatees, distributee, and personal representatives and
the successors of the Company.
9. Change in Capital Structure. The Units will be adjusted as the
Committee determines is equitably required in the event of a dividend
in the form of stock, spin-off, stock split-up, subdivision or
consolidation of shares of Company Stock or other similar changes in
capitalization.
10. Interpretation. This Agreement will be construed under and be governed
by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA OR THE CIRCUIT
COURT FOR THE COUNTY OF HENRICO SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OVER
ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PLAN OR THIS AGREEMENT.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be signed, as of
the award date shown above.
