WHEREAS
the Board of Directors of the Corporation has established the 2003 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with the approval of the shareholders of the
Corporation; and
WHEREAS,
the Employee has been granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) under the Plan
subject to the terms provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the Corporation and the Employee hereby agree as
follows:
1. Provisions of Plan
Control. This Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of
the Plan, the terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by
reference. The Plan empowers the Administrator to make
interpretations, rules and regulations thereunder, and, in general, provides
that determinations of the Administrator with respect to the Plan shall be
binding upon the Employee. Unless otherwise provided herein, all
capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in
the Plan. A copy of the Plan will be delivered to the Employee upon
reasonable request.
2. Terms of
Award. The Employee has been granted _______ RSUs under the
Plan. The RSUs will vest as to one-third of the RSUs on the first annual
anniversary date hereof and an additional one-third of the RSUs will vest on
each of the two (2) subsequent annual anniversaries of such date, provided that
the Employee is still in the employ of the Corporation on each such
date. To the extent that the number of RSUs vesting on any
anniversary date is a fractional number, the cumulative number shall be rounded
to the closest whole number, provided however, that to the extent necessary, the
cumulative number of RSUs vesting on the 3rd annual
anniversary date shall be adjusted so that the total RSUs that have vested on or
before the 3rd annual
anniversary date equals the total number of RSUs indicated in this Paragraph
2.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the provisions of Section 8(e) of the Plan, regarding a
Triggering Event, shall not apply to this Agreement. Instead, in
connection with a Triggering Event, all RSUs shall vest in full upon any of the
following:
|
|
(i)
|
If
the Corporation’s shares remain publicly traded on a national securities
exchange after the Triggering Event, upon termination of Employee’s
employment by the Corporation other than for “Cause,” as defined below, or
upon Employee’s voluntary termination of his employment for “Good Reason,”
as defined below, during a Protected Period or within two (2) years
following a Triggering Event;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Upon
a Triggering Event where the Corporation’s shares do not remain publicly
traded on a national securities exchange after the Triggering Event,
unless the RSUs granted hereunder are converted, on a tax-free basis, into
similar restricted stock units based on the shares of an acquiring
corporation that is publicly traded on a national securities exchange;
or
|
|
|
(iii)
|
If
the Corporation’s shares do not remain publicly traded on a national
securities exchange after the Triggering Event and the RSUs granted
hereunder are converted, on a tax-free basis, into similar restricted
stock units based on the shares of an acquiring corporation that is
publicly traded on a national securities exchange, upon termination of
Employee’s employment by the Corporation other than for “Cause,” as
defined below, or upon the Employee’s voluntary termination of his
employment for “Good Reason,” as defined below, during a Protected Period
or within two (2) years following a Triggering
Event.
|
In
the event of accelerated vesting due to the termination of Employee’s employment
during a Protected Period, the accelerated vesting will occur as of the date of
the Triggering Event.
Further,
the provisions of Section 8(d)(2) of the Plan regarding normal retirement or
early retirement shall not apply to this Agreement. Instead, upon the
Employee’s Retirement, the RSUs shall immediately vest in full.
For
purposes of this paragraph:

for “Cause” will mean termination of the Employee’s employment
upon:
|

Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer in his reasonable
judgment;
|
|
(ii)
|
Employee’s
failure or refusal to follow the reasonable instructions or direction of
the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, which failure or refusal
remains uncured, if subject to cure, to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer for five (5) business days after
receiving notice thereof from the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer,
or repeated failure or refusal to follow the reasonable instructions or
directions of the Corporation’s Chief Executive
Officer;
|
|

|
any

condition;

Employee’s employment duties with the Manpower Group;
or
|
|
(viii)
|
the
willful engaging by Employee in conduct which is demonstrably and
materially injurious to the Manpower Group. For purposes of

for such year; or

|
a
material diminution in Employee’s annual target bonus opportunity for a
given fiscal year within two years after the occurrence of a Triggering
Event, as compared to the annual target bonus opportunity for the fiscal
year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which a Triggering Event
occurred.
|
Notwithstanding

any material diminution or breach described above by written notice to the
Corporation within twenty (20) business days after such diminution or breach
occurs, (ii) the Corporation fails to cure such diminution or breach within
thirty (30) days after such notice is given and (iii) Employee’s employment with

diminution or breach occurs.

Service.

3. Dividend Equivalents and
Voting Rights. The Employee shall be credited with additional
RSUs equivalent to the dividends or distributions the Employee would have
received if the Employee had been the owner of a number of Shares equal of the
number of RSUs credited to the Employee during the year or shorter period that
the Employee holds RSUs. The manner of calculating and crediting such
additional RSUs shall be determined in accordance with the Plan. The
Employee shall not have any voting or other ownership rights in the Corporation
arising from the grant of RSUs under this Agreement.
4. Taxes. The
Corporation may require payment or reimbursement of or may withhold any tax that
it believes is required as a result of the grant or vesting of such RSUs or any
payments in connection with the RSUs, and the Corporation may defer making
delivery of any Shares in respect of RSUs until arrangements satisfactory to the
Corporation have been made with regard to any such payment, reimbursement, or
withholding obligation.
5. Issuance and Delivery of
Shares. In accordance with the Plan, Shares shall be
distributed to the Participant as of the date on which the RSUs
vest. Shares shall be registered in the name of the Employee (either
in book-entry form or otherwise) promptly following the vesting
date.
6. No Right to
Employment. The granting of RSUs, and any payments or other
benefits received by the Employee in connection with the RSUs, is discretionary
and shall not be deemed a part of the Employee’s regular, recurring compensation
for any purpose, including without limitation for purposes of termination,
indemnity, or severance pay law of any country and shall not be included in, nor
have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any other employee
benefit plan, contract or similar arrangement provided to the Employee unless
expressly so provided by such other plan, contract or arrangement, or unless the
Committee expressly determines otherwise.
7. Multiple Executed
Copies. This Agreement may be executed in multiple copies,
each of which will constitute an original, and which together will constitute
one and the same agreement providing for a single grant of RSUs.
8. Data
Privacy. As a condition of the grant of these RSUs, Employee
consents to the collection, use and transfer of personal data as described in
this Paragraph 8. Employee understands that the Corporation and/or
its Subsidiaries and/or agents working on its behalf, may hold certain personal

telephone number, social security number, tax identification number or other
employee identification number, country of residence, salary, shares of common
stock or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all Corporation stock
options or other entitlement to shares of common stock awarded, canceled,
exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding, for the purpose of managing and
administering the Plan (“Data”). Employee further understands that
the Corporation and/or its Subsidiaries will transfer Data amongst themselves as
necessary for the purposes of implementation, administration and management of
participation in the Plan. The Corporation and/or any of its
Subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to agents, such as to a broker or
other third party, assisting the Corporation in the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan including any requisite transfer of
such Data as may be required for the subsequent holding of Shares on the
Employee's behalf. Employee understands that such Data recipients may
be located in the Employee's country of residence or elsewhere, such as the
United States. Employee authorizes all applicable parties specified
herein to receive, possess, use, retain, transfer and retire Data in electronic
or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing
participation in the Plan. Employee understands that he or she may,
at any time, view the Data, request changes or ask questions by contacting his
or her local human resources representative of the Corporation.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Agreement to be executed as of
the date and year first above written.
