Nature of Your Award
You have been granted Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to
receive cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Award Agreement and the Plan. The terms and conditions affecting your Restricted Stock Units are
described in this Award Agreement and the Plan, both of which you should read carefully.
Grant Date: , 2009.
Number of Restricted Stock Units: You have been granted Restricted Stock Units (“Total
Units”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.
When Your Award Will Vest
Your Restricted Stock Units will be settled or will be forfeited depending on whether the
applicable terms and conditions have been met. For purposes of this Award Agreement,
[a] “Performance Period” shall mean the period beginning on September 1, 2008 and ending on August
31, 2009 and [b] “Normal Vesting Date” shall mean August 31, 2009.
Normal Vesting Date: Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, the number of
Total Units that will vest on the Normal Vesting Date will depend on the achievement of the
following Performance Objectives during the Performance Period: Net Income, Operating Income
and Days of Working Capital, as set forth in the 2009 Bonus Plan approved by the Committee
on October 16, 2008. The Performance Objectives will be dependent upon the Company’s
consolidated worldwide performance during the Performance Period. With respect to each
Performance Objective, the number of Restricted Stock Units that will vest on the Normal
Vesting Date will equal: [a] 33.33% of the Total Units, multiplied by [b] the indicated
percentage at the Threshold, Target, Stretch Budget, Maximum and high performance levels as
set forth in the 2009 Bonus Plan approved by the Committee on October 16, 2008; provided,
however, that if a Performance Objective is not achieved or is achieved at a performance
level which is less than Threshold, all of your Restricted Stock Units with respect to that
Performance Objective will be forfeited. If the achievement of a Performance Objective is
between performance levels, the number of Restricted Stock Units that vest will be
interpolated by the Company. Any Restricted Stock Units that do not vest as of the Normal
Vesting Date shall be forfeited.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, your Restricted Stock Units may vest earlier in the
circumstances described below.
How Your Restricted Stock Units Might Vest Earlier Than the Normal Vesting Date: Your
Restricted Stock Units will immediately vest and all Performance Objectives will be deemed
to have been met at the Super Maximum performance level if there is a Change in Control.
How Your Termination Will Affect Your Restricted Stock Units: You may forfeit your
Restricted Stock Units if you Terminate before the Normal Vesting Date, although this will
depend on why you Terminate.
[a] If you Terminate because of [i] death, [ii] Disability or [iii] after qualifying for
Retirement if the Committee agrees to treat your Termination as a Retirement, a prorata
portion of your Restricted Stock Units granted through this Award Agreement will vest
but only if the Performance Objectives described above are actually met at the Normal
Vesting Date:
Number of Restricted Stock Units that would have vested if you had not Terminated before the Normal Vesting Date |
X | the number of whole months between the Grant Date and your Termination date 7 |
If those Performance Objectives are not met, all of your Restricted Stock Units will be
forfeited.
[b] If you Terminate under any other circumstances, all of the Restricted Stock Units
granted through this Award Agreement will be forfeited.
2
Settling Your Award
Your vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled no later than the 15th day of the third month
following the applicable vesting date for a cash payment equal to the whole number of vested
Restricted Stock Units to be settled, multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
applicable settlement date. All Restricted Stock Units relating to fractional Shares will be
cancelled without any consideration.
Other Rules Affecting Your Award
Rights During the Performance Period: During the Performance Period, you will have no voting
rights with respect to the Shares underlying your Restricted Stock Units. You shall be entitled to
receive any cash dividends that are declared and paid during the Performance Period with respect to
the Shares underlying one-half of your Total Units (the “Target Units”), subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement. If a cash dividend is declared and paid during
the Performance Period on the Shares underlying the Target Units, you will be deemed to have been
credited with a cash amount equal to the product of [a] the number of the Target Units that have
not been settled or forfeited as of the dividend payment date, multiplied by [b] the amount of the
cash dividend paid per Share. Such amount shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the
related Target Units and shall vest and be settled in cash if, when and to the extent the related
the Target Units vest and are settled. In the event a Target Unit is forfeited under this Award
Agreement, the related dividends will also be forfeited.
Beneficiary Designation: You may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any portion of
your Award and any other right under the Plan that is unsettled at your death. To do so, you must
complete a beneficiary designation form by contacting Xxxx Xxxxxxx at (000) 000-0000 or the address
below. If you previously completed a valid beneficiary designation form, such form shall apply to
the Award until changed or revoked. If you die without completing a beneficiary designation form
or if you do not complete that form correctly, your beneficiary will be your surviving spouse or,
if you do not have a surviving spouse, your estate.
Tax Withholding: Applicable withholding taxes must be withheld with respect to your Award. These
taxes may be paid in one of several ways. They are:
• | By the Company withholding this amount from other amounts owed to you (e.g., from your salary); | ||
• | By giving the Company a check (payable to “X. Xxxxxxxx, Inc.”) in an amount equal to the taxes that must be withheld; or | ||
• | By having the Company withhold a portion of the cash payment that otherwise would be distributed to you equal to the taxes that must be withheld. |
You must choose the approach you prefer before the Restricted Stock Units are settled, although the
Company may reject your preferred method for any reason (or for no reason). If this happens or if
you do not choose a method within 30 days of the applicable settlement date, the Company will
specify (from among the alternatives just listed) how these taxes are to be paid.
3
Transferring Your Restricted Stock Units: Normally, your Restricted Stock Units may not be
transferred to another person. However, as described above, you may complete a beneficiary
designation form to name the person to receive any Restricted Stock Units that are settled after
you die. Also, the Committee may allow you to transfer your Restricted Stock Units to certain
Permissible Transferees, including a trust established for your benefit or the benefit of your
family. Contact Xxxx Xxxxxxx at the address or number given below if you are interested in doing
this.
Governing Law: This Award Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws
(other than laws governing conflicts of laws) of the State of Ohio, except to the extent that the
Delaware General Corporation Law is mandatorily applicable.
Other Agreements: Also, your Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the terms of any other
written agreements between you and the Company or a Related Entity to the extent that those other
agreements do not directly conflict with the terms of the Plan or this Award Agreement.
Adjustments to Your Restricted Stock Units: Subject to the terms of the Plan, your Award will be
adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect any change to the Company’s capital structure (e.g., the
number of your Restricted Stock Units will be adjusted to reflect a stock split).
Other Rules: Your Restricted Stock Units also are subject to more rules described in the Plan.
You should read the Plan carefully to ensure you fully understand all the terms and conditions of
this Award.
