With Respect to Chairman’s Fee
EMCOR GROUP, INC.
000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000
Agreement made this 11th day of June, 2015, between EMCOR GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxx”).
1. Restricted Stock Unit Award.
Xxxxxxx is hereby awarded, pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and subject to its terms, a Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) award (the “Award”) as hereinafter described. The Award gives Xxxxxxx the conditional right to receive, without payment but subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, (i) 1,562 Shares (the “Basic Shares”) and (ii) an additional whole number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (the “Dividend Equivalent Shares”) equal in value (determined as hereinafter provided) to the dividends, if any, that would have been paid with respect to the Basic Shares had the Basic Shares been issued to Xxxxxxx on the date hereof. For purposes of (ii), the number of Dividend Equivalent Shares with respect to any dividend shall be calculated as of the date on which the dividend is paid to holders of Company common stock. For the avoidance of doubt, no Shares (including Dividend Equivalent Shares) shall be payable in respect of the Award if the Award is forfeited, as hereafter provided, and no Dividend Equivalent Shares shall be payable in respect of any dividend for which the record date falls on or after the date on which Xxxxxxx or any other person entitled to the Basic Shares becomes the record owner of such Shares for dividend record-date purposes. Except as otherwise expressly provided, all terms used herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.
2. Vesting.
One-fourth of Award shall vest on the date hereof, one-fourth of the Award shall vest on October 1, 2015, one-fourth of the Award shall vest on January 1, 2016 and one-fourth of the Award shall vest on April 1, 2016.
Upon any termination of Xxxxxxx’x services as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, all RSUs then held by him that have not previously vested (determined after taking into account the previous paragraph) shall be immediately forfeited.
3. Delivery of Shares.
Subject to Section 4 below, the Company shall effect delivery of the Shares with respect to the vested portions of this Award to Xxxxxxx (or, in the event of Xxxxxxx’x death, to the person to whom the Award has passed by will or the laws of descent and distribution) on the date Xxxxxxx ceases to be a director of the Company. No Shares will be issued pursuant to this Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such Shares have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors of the Company.
4. Dividends; Other Rights.
The Award shall not be interpreted to bestow upon Xxxxxxx any equity interest or ownership in the Company or any Affiliate prior to the date on which the Company delivers Shares to Xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxx is not entitled to vote any Shares by reason of the granting of this Award or to receive or be credited (other than as provided in Section 1 above) with any dividends declared and payable on any Share prior to the delivery of such Shares.
5. Certain Tax Matters.
Xxxxxxx expressly acknowledges that because this Award consists of an unfunded and unsecured conditional promise by the Company to deliver Shares in the future, subject to the terms hereof, it is not possible to make a so-called “83(b)
election” with respect to the Award. By accepting this Award, Xxxxxxx agrees to be responsible for all taxes (including any withholding taxes) to which he may be subject by reason of the vesting of or payment under the Award.
6. Nontransferability.
Neither this Award nor any rights with respect thereto may be sold, assigned, transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or otherwise encumbered, except as the Board of Directors of the Company may otherwise determine.
7. Effect on Right to Be Continued as a Director.
This Award shall not confer upon Xxxxxxx any right to be continued as Chairman of the Board or as a director of the Company or derogate from any right of the Company or its stockholders to decline to nominate Xxxxxxx for election as a director, to decline to elect Xxxxxxx as a director, or, subject to the provisions of the bylaws of the Company and applicable law, to remove Xxxxxxx as a director or as Chairman of the Board, with or without cause.
8. Amendments.
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing.
9. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed and construed by and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
The Company, by its duly authorized officer, and Xxxxxxx have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
