THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is made effective as of the 10th day of March, 2016, (hereinafter called the “Date of Grant”), between Team Health Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”), and [PARTICIPANT NAME] (hereinafter called the “Participant”):
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Team Health Holdings Inc. Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the performance stock unit award provided for herein (the “PSU Award”) to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1.Grant of the PSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the additional terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant a PSU Award consisting of a contractual right to receive a number of Shares set forth in the Performance Stock Unit Grant Notice, attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Grant Notice”) (hereinafter called the “PSUs”), subject to vesting requirements. The PSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable and provide for delivery of the Shares underlying such PSUs in accordance with Sections 2 and 3 hereof.
2.Vesting.
(a)Subject to the conditions contained herein and the Plan, the PSUs shall vest and the restrictions on such PSUs shall lapse as provided in the Grant Notice, subject to satisfaction of the applicable “Service Vesting Condition” and “Performance Vesting Conditions”, as defined in the Grant Notice attached hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated (x) by the Company without Cause following the one year anniversary of the Date of Grant, or (y) due Participant’s death or disability (any such termination under clause (x) or (y), a “Qualified Termination”) prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date (as defined in the Grant Notice), then the PSUs shall remain subject to the Performance Vesting Conditions (to the extent not previously achieved) and shall be deemed to have satisfied a pro-rata portion of the Service Vesting Condition, determined on a pro-rata daily basis over the three-year period commencing on the Date of Grant through the date of such Qualified Termination.
(b)If the Participant’s Employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than due to a Qualified Termination prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date, all PSUs, to the extent not previously vested, shall be forfeited by the Participant without consideration.
(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, the PSUs shall, to the extent not then vested and not previously
1
forfeited, immediately vest (i) at deemed “Target” level performance (as set forth in the Grant Notice) to the extent the Performance Period is not completed prior to the Change in Control or (ii) based on actual performance to the extent the Performance Period is completed on or prior to the Change in Control.
3.Delivery of Shares Underlying the PSUs. Upon or as soon as practicable following the vesting of PSUs based on satisfaction of both the Performance Vesting Conditions and the Service Vesting Condition, or upon a Change in Control, as applicable under Section 2 above, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a number of Shares corresponding to such vested number of PSUs in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to the Participant in respect of such PSUs. Accordingly, in the event of a Qualified Termination, such delivery shall occur upon or as soon as practicable following the later to occur of such Qualified Termination or the end of the Performance Period and, in any event, no later than 2½ months following such later date. Certificates evidencing the Shares delivered upon settlement of the PSUs as described in the preceding sentence shall be issued by the Company and shall be registered in the Participant’s name on the stock transfer books of the Company promptly after the relevant Share delivery date; and no certificates shall be issued for fractional Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect to recognize the Participant’s ownership of Shares through uncertificated book entry. The Participant shall not be entitled to receive any Shares or other payments with respect to forfeited PSUs.
4. No Rights as a Stockholder Prior to Settlement; Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Participant shall have no voting or other shareholder rights with respect to the Shares underlying the PSUs unless and until such Shares are delivered to the Participant in accordance with Sections 2 and 3 hereof. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Participant shall be entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments with respect to outstanding PSUs as described in this Section 4. In the event that the Company pays any cash or in-kind dividends (including dividends paid in Shares) on Shares while the PSUs are outstanding, the Company shall credit to a notional account the cash and in-kind payments that would have been payable on the Shares underlying the PSUs if such Shares would have been outstanding at the time of dividend payment, and then the Company shall pay to the Participant such cash or in‑kind amounts (adjusted for any performance components) when, and if, such corresponding Shares underlying the PSUs are delivered to the Participant pursuant to Section 3. In the event that the PSUs are forfeited pursuant to Section 2, any corresponding dividend equivalent payment rights shall also be forfeited.
5. No Right to Continued Employment. The granting of the PSUs evidenced by this Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the Employment of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s or its Affiliate’s right to terminate the Employment of such Participant.
6.Transferability. The PSUs may not, at any time prior to settlement of the underlying Shares pursuant to Section 3, be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.
7.Withholding. The Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the PSUs, their grant or vesting or any payment or transfer with respect to the PSUs, to include withholding of vested shares, and to take such additional action as
2
may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes.
8.Securities Laws. Upon the vesting and settlement of any PSUs, the Participant will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Agreement.
9.Notices. Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at the principal executive office of the Company and to the Participant at the address appearing in the personnel records of the Company for such Participant or to either party at such other address as either party hereto may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt thereof by the addressee.
10.Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws.
