FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED 1999 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.2
This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), made and entered into as of
February ___, 2007 by and between (the “Participant”) and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Living
Omnimedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), sets forth the terms and conditions of an
Award of Restricted Stock Units granted in connection with the Company’s Bonus Conversion Policy,
as adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) on
February 22, 2007 (the “Bonus Conversion Policy”) and pursuant to Section 8 of the Company’s
Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Any capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meaning prescribed in the Plan.
1. Grant and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to the provisions of each of the
Bonus Conversion Policy and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant
restricted stock units (the “Stock Units”), each of which represents the
right to receive, subject to the conditions set forth herein, one share of Class A
common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). Such number
of Stock Units represents 115% of $ , the value of the cash bonus awarded to
the Participant that such Participant has elected to take in the form of Stock Units
(the “Base Cash Value”), and has been calculated based on a per share value of
$ , which represents the closing price as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange of a share of Common Stock (the “Per Share Price”) on the last business day
immediately preceding the later of (a) the date of adoption by the Committee of the
Bonus Conversion Policy and (b) the date on which the Committee determined the actual
amount of cash bonus to be awarded to the Participant under the Company’s Annual
Incentive Plan for performance in the prior fiscal year (such later date, the
“Determination Date”). No Common Stock will be issued unless and until the Stock
Units vest pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Stock Units shall vest
and shall no longer be subject to any restrictions hereunder (i) with respect to
thirty-three percent (33%) of the Stock Units, on the first anniversary of the
Determination Date, (ii) with respect to thirty-three percent (33%) of the Stock
Units, on the second anniversary of the Determination Date and (iii) with respect to
thirty-four percent (34%) of the Stock Units, on the third anniversary of the
Determination Date (such three year period, the “Restriction Period”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all the Stock Units shall immediately vest and no
longer be subject to restriction if the Participant’s employment with the Company is
terminated during the Restriction Period due to death or Disability, or pursuant to
the terms of any arrangement between the Participant and the Company, if any. Except
as provided in the preceding sentence, in the event that the employment of the
Participant with the Company shall terminate during the Restriction Period,
Stock Units representing that number of shares with an aggregate value, based on the
Per Share Price, equal to (i) 100% of the Base Cash Value, if the termination occurs
on or prior to the first anniversary of the Determination Date, (ii) 67% of the Base
Cash Value, if the termination occurs after the first anniversary but on or prior to
the second anniversary of the Determination Date, and (iii) 34% of the Base Cash
Value, if the termination occurs after the second anniversary but on or prior to the
third anniversary of the Determination Date shall vest, and the remainder of the
unvested Stock Units shall be forfeited effective upon termination. For purposes of
this Agreement, employment with the Company shall include employment with the
Company’s affiliates and its successors.
(c) Upon the vesting of any Stock Units, the Common Stock underlying such Stock Unit
will be delivered to the Participant (or, in the case of the Participant’s death, the
Participant’s executor) pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement
shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company
or any of its affiliates or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any
such affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time.
2. Issuance of Shares.
Subject to Paragraph 8 (pertaining to the withholding of taxes), as soon as practicable after
the Stock Units have vested, the Company shall issue (or cause to be delivered) to the Participant
(or, in the case of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s executor) one or more stock
certificates in respect of the Common Stock underlying such vested Stock Units. Notwithstanding
the foregoing:
(i) if the Participant is a “key employee” within the meaning of Code section 409A and
shares of Common Stock would otherwise be delivered to the Participant on account of the
termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and its affiliates, then such
shares will not be delivered to the Participant until six months (or such lesser period as
may be permitted by Code section 409A) after such termination of employment to the extent
necessary to avoid the imposition of the penalty under Code section 409A; and
(ii) if the shares of Common Stock relating to the vested Stock Units would otherwise
be delivered during a period in which the shares are listed on an established national or
regional stock exchange or are publicly traded in an established securities market, and the
Participant is (A) subject to a lock-up agreement restricting the Participant’s ability to
sell shares in the open market, (B) restricted from selling shares in the open market
because the Participant is not then eligible to sell shares under the Company’s xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx or similar plan or policy as then in effect (whether because a trading “window” is
not open or the Participant is otherwise restricted from trading) or (C) restricted from
selling shares pursuant to an effective registration statement because of an applicable
blackout thereunder, delivery of the shares related to the vested Stock Units will be
delayed until no earlier than the first date on which the Participant is no longer
prohibited from selling shares due to a lock-up agreement, xxxxxxx xxxxxxx plan or
policy restriction or applicable blackout, but in no event later than the end of the
calendar year in which the shares related to such vested Stock Units would otherwise have
been delivered.
3. Nontransferability of the Restricted Stock Units.
Stock Units shall not be transferable by the Participant by means of sale, assignment,
exchange, encumbrance, pledge or otherwise.
4. Rights as a Stockholder.
The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company as a result of the
ownership of Stock Units, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to consent to any
action of stockholders or to receive any notice of meetings of stockholders.
5. Adjustment in the Event of Change in Stock.
In the event of a stock split or a corporate transaction such as a merger, consolidation,
separation, spin-off (or other distribution of stock or property of the Company), any
reorganization or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, or any other similar change
in capitalization or event for which the Committee believes an adjustment is appropriate, the
number of Stock Units and the number and kind of shares underlying such Stock Units shall be
equitably adjusted by the Committee as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The
determination of the Committee regarding any such adjustment will be final and conclusive.
6. Payment of Transfer Taxes, Fees and Other Expenses.
The Company agrees to pay any and all original issue taxes and stock transfer taxes that may
be imposed on the issuance of shares received by an Participant in connection with the Stock Units
granted hereby, together with any and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the
Company in connection therewith.
7. Other Restrictions.
The Stock Units shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall
determine that (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject
or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or (ii) the
consent or approval of any government regulatory body, or (iii) an agreement by the Participant
with respect to the disposition of shares of Common Stock is necessary or desirable as a condition
of, or in connection with, the delivery or purchase of shares pursuant thereto, then in any such
event, the issuance of shares of Common Stock that underlie the Stock Units granted hereby shall
not be effective unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or agreement
shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
8. Taxes and Withholding.
With respect to any amount that becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for
federal, state or local income tax purposes as a result of the vesting of the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Stock Units, the Company shall deduct from the shares of Common Stock
otherwise payable to Participant the number of shares necessary to pay any such taxes.
9. Notices.
All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
