WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Plan and subject to the execution of this
Agreement, the Committee has granted, and the Participant desires
to receive, an Award [pursuant to the Company’s Director
Compensation Program].
NOW,
THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the mutual
promises and covenants herein contained, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree
as follows:
AWARD OF COMMON STOCK. On the date specified in Exhibit A
attached hereto (the "Date of Grant"), but subject to the execution
of this Agreement, the Company granted to the Participant an Award
in the form of the number of shares of Common Stock (the "Shares")
as set forth in Exhibit A from the authorized and unissued or
treasury Common Stock.
EFFECT OF PLAN. The Award is in all respects subject to, and
shall be governed and determined by, the provisions of the Plan
(all of the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference)
and to any rules which may be adopted by the Board or the Committee
with respect to the Plan to the same extent and with the same
effect as if set forth fully herein. The Participant hereby
acknowledges that all decisions and determinations of the Committee
shall be final and binding on the Participant, the
Participant’s beneficiaries and any other person having or
claiming an interest in the Award.
RESTRICTIONS. The Shares shall be fully-vested and without
restriction as of the Date of Grant.
DELIVERY OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. Shares shall be
delivered to the Participant in the manner set forth in Exhibit
A.
SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. Acceptance of this Agreement
shall be deemed to constitute the Participant's acknowledgment that
the Participant's sale or other disposition of the Shares shall be
subject to compliance with all federal and state laws, rules and
regulations (including but not limited to state and federal
securities laws and federal margin requirements) and to such
approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as
may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or
advisable.
TAXES AND WITHHOLDING.
Regardless
of any action the Company [or the Subsidiary employing the
Participant] takes with respect to any or all income tax, social
insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other applicable
taxes (“Tax Items”) in connection with the Award, the
Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate
liability for all Tax Items legally due by the Participant is and
remains the responsibility of the Participant. Further, if the
Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction
between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable or
tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges
that the Company [or the Subsidiary employing the Participant] may
be required to withhold or account for Tax Items in more than one
jurisdiction.
The
Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company [and the
Subsidiary employing the Participant] make[s]no representations or
undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Items in connection
with any aspect of the Award.
[Prior
to issuance of the Shares, the Participant must pay or make
adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or the Subsidiary
employing the Participant to satisfy all withholding obligations
for Tax Items of the Company or the Subsidiary employing the
Participant arising from the issuance of the Shares. In this
regard, in lieu of all or any part of a cash payment, the
Participant may elect to satisfy all or part of the withholding
obligations for Tax Items by (i) having the Company withhold a
portion of the Shares issuable or (ii) delivering shares of Common
Stock owned by the Participant, duly endorsed for transfer, to the
Company, in each case with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount
of the withholding obligations to be satisfied in such manner. The
Company or the Subsidiary employing the Participant will remit the
total amount paid or withheld for Tax Items to the appropriate tax
authorities.]
SECTION 409A. This Agreement is intended to
comply with Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and
interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements
for avoiding additional taxes and penalties under Section 409A of
the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no
representation that the payments and benefits provided hereunder
comply with Section 409A of the Code, and in no event shall the
Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties,
interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant
on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the
Code.
2
COUNTERPART EXECUTION. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered an
original, and such counterparts shall, together, constitute and be
one and the same instrument.
[NO RIGHT TO
CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement shall not be deemed to
confer upon the Participant any right to continue the Participant's
employment by the Company or any Subsidiary employing the
Participant, and the Company or any Subsidiary employing the
Participant may terminate such employment at any time for any
reason, subject to the provisions of any applicable employment
agreement.]
