preceding or accompanying this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), Xxxx
Holding Corporation (“Xxxx”) grants to you the right to earn the number of restricted stock units
set forth in such Award Notification (“RSUs”). Any undefined terms in this Agreement appearing as
defined terms will have the same meaning as they do in the Xxxx Holding Corporation 2008 Omnibus
Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Plan”). Xxxx will provide a
copy of the Plan to you upon request.
2. Payment of RSUs. The RSUs covered by this Agreement will become payable to you if
they become nonforfeitable in accordance with Sections 3, 4, or 5 below.
3. Vesting of RSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 4, 5 and 6 below,
your right to receive one hundred percent (100%) of the shares of Common Stock or cash subject to
the RSUs will become nonforfeitable on the ___anniversary of the Award Date (the “Vesting Date”)
if you remain continuously employed by Xxxx or any of its Subsidiaries until such time.
4. Effect of Change in Control. In the event a Change in Control occurs prior to the
RSUs becoming nonforfeitable as provided in Section 3 above and while you are an employee of Xxxx
or any Subsidiary, the RSUs covered by this Agreement will become nonforfeitable and payable to
you. However, if the Change in Control does not constitute a “change in control” for purposes of
Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, then issuance of the Common Shares underlying the RSUs (or
payment of any other form of consideration into which the Common Shares underlying the RSUs may
have been converted in connection with the Change in Control) will be made, to the extent necessary
to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, to you on the earlier of (a) your
“separation from service” with Xxxx and its Subsidiaries (determined in accordance with Section
409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) (or, if you are a “specified employee” as determined pursuant to
procedures adopted by Xxxx in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the date of issuance or
payment will be the first day of the seventh month after the date of your separation from service
with Xxxx and its Subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code), (b) the
Vesting Date under Section 3, or (c) your death.
5. Effect of Termination Due to Death, Disability, Normal Retirement or Termination
without Cause. Notwithstanding Section 3 above, if you die, become Disabled while in the
employ of Xxxx or any Subsidiary, in the event of your Normal Retirement of or you are terminated
without Cause, a prorated portion of the RSUs covered by this Agreement will become nonforfeitable,
based on the number of full or partial months you were employed during the three-year performance
period ending on the Vesting Date. Any such RSUs awarded will become payable on the Vesting Date.
If the event triggering the right to payment under this Agreement is the your Normal Retirement or
Termination without Cause and you are a “specified employee” as determined pursuant to procedures
adopted by Xxxx in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the date of issuance will be the first
day of the seventh month after the date of your separation from service with Xxxx or any of its
Subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code.
6. Other Employment Terminations. In the event that your employment will terminate in
a manner other than any specified in Sections 4 or 5 above, you will forfeit any RSUs that have not
become nonforfeitable by you at the time of such termination.
7. Form and Time of Payment of RSUs. Except as otherwise provided for in Section 10,
payment for the RSUs will be made in form of shares of Common Stock or cash, at the discretion of
Xxxx, at the time they become nonforfeitable or otherwise become payable in accordance with
Sections 3, 4 or 5 above. To the extent that Xxxx is required to withhold any federal, state,
local or foreign taxes in connection with the delivery of shares of Common Stock to you or any
other person under this Agreement, and the amounts available to Xxxx for such withholding are
insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such delivery that you will pay such taxes
or make arrangements that are satisfactory to Xxxx for payment thereof. You may elect to have the
number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to you or such other person reduced (based on the
Market Value Per Share as of the date the RSUs become payable) to provide for the taxes required to
be withheld, with any fractional shares that would otherwise be delivered being rounded up to the
next nearest whole share. In no event, however, will the Market Value Per Share of the shares of
Common Stock to be withheld and/or delivered pursuant to this Section to satisfy applicable
withholding taxes in connection with the benefit exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be
withheld. The Board (or the Compensation Committee) may, at its discretion, adopt any alternative
method of providing for taxes to be withheld.
8. Payment of Dividend Equivalents. From and after the Award Date and until the
earlier of (a) the time when the RSUs become nonforfeitable and payable in accordance with Sections
3, 4, or 5 above or (b) the time when your right to receive shares of Common Stock upon payment of
RSUs is forfeited in accordance with Section 6 above, on the date that Xxxx pays a cash dividend
(if any) to holders of shares of Common Stock generally, you will be entitled to a number of
additional whole RSUs determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the dollar amount of the cash
dividend paid per share of Common Stock on such date and (B) the total number of RSUs (including
dividend equivalents paid thereon) previously credited to you as of such date, by (ii) the Market
Value Per Share on such date. Such dividend equivalents (if any) will be subject to the same terms
and conditions and will be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the RSUs
to which the dividend equivalents were credited.
9. RSUs Nontransferable. Neither the RSUs granted hereby nor any interest therein or
in the shares of Common Stock related thereto will be transferable or assignable other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution prior to payment.
10. Adjustments. Xxxx will make any adjustments in the number of RSUs or other
securities covered by this Agreement that Xxxx xxx determine to be equitably required to prevent
any dilution or expansion of your rights under this Agreement that otherwise would result from any
(a) stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or
other change in the capital structure of Xxxx, (b) merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off,
spin-out, split-up, separation, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation involving Xxxx or
other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities of Xxxx, or (c)
other transaction or event having an effect similar to any of those referred to in Sections 10(a)
or 10(b). Furthermore, in the event that any transaction or event described or referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence will occur, Xxxx xxx provide in substitution of any or all of your
rights under this Agreement such alternative consideration as Xxxx xxx determine in good faith to
be equitable under the circumstances.
11. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is
intended that this Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code,
so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to you.
This Agreement and the Plan will be administered in a manner consistent with this intent.
Reference to Section 409A of the Code is to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and will also include any regulations or any other formal guidance promulgated with
respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.
12. Right to Terminate Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement will confer
upon you any right with respect to continuance of employment by Xxxx or any Subsidiary, nor limit
or affect in
2
any manner the right of Xxxx or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or adjust your
compensation.
13. Information. Information about you and your participation in the Plan may be
collected, recorded and held, used and disclosed for any purpose related to the administration of
the Plan. You understand that such processing of this information may need to be carried out by
Xxxx and its Subsidiaries and by third party administrators whether such persons are located within
your country or elsewhere, including the United States of America. You consent to the processing
of information relating to you and your participation in the Plan in any one or more of the ways
referred to above.
14. Relation to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the
Plan will govern. The Board (or a committee of the Board) acting pursuant to the Plan, as
constituted from time to time, will, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, have the right
to determine any questions which arise in connection with the grant of the RSUs. By your
acceptance of the award under this Agreement, you acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Prospectus
for the Plan and your agreement to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.
15. Amendments. Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an amendment to this
Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however,
that no amendment will adversely affect your rights under this Agreement without your consent
(provided, however, that your consent will not be required to an amendment that is deemed necessary
by Xxxx to ensure compliance with Section 409A of the Code).
16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any
provision in this Agreement to any person or circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable or
otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any
other person or circumstances will not be affected, and the provisions so held to be invalid,
unenforceable or otherwise illegal will be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent)
necessary to make it enforceable, valid and legal.
17. Compliance with Law. Xxxx will make reasonable efforts to comply with all
applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however, that
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the RSUs covered by this Agreement will not
be paid if the payment thereof would result in violation of any such law.
18. Successors and Assigns. Without limiting Section 9 above, the provisions of this
Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, your successors, administrators,
heirs, legal representatives and assigns, and the successors and assigns of Xxxx.
