INCORPORATED TERMS DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2008 TO RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.2.9
INCORPORATED TERMS
DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2008
TO
RESTRICTED STOCK AND
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2008
TO
RESTRICTED STOCK AND
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
The following are the “Incorporated Terms” referred to in the instrument entitled “Restricted
Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Agreement” which refers to these Incorporated Terms and which has
been signed by the Company and the Employee (the “Base Instrument”). The Incorporated Terms and
the Base Instrument constitute a single agreement and that agreement consists of the Base
Instrument and the Incorporated Terms. The Incorporated Terms dovetail with the Base Instrument;
because the last paragraph of the Base Instrument is Paragraph 1, the Incorporated Terms begin with
Paragraph 2.
2. Restrictions. (a) (i) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Base Restricted
Stock, the Matching Restricted Stock and the Time Vested Restricted Stock may not be sold,
transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until, in the case of the Base Restricted Stock,
the date set forth after “Base Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page; in the case of
the Matching Restricted Stock, the date set forth after “Matching Restricted Stock Release Date” on
the signature page; and in the case of the Time Vested Restricted Stock, until the Release Date
determined as follows.
(A) For each date set forth after “Time Vested Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature
page, divide the number of shares referred to after “Shares of Time Vested Restricted Stock” by the
sum of one and the difference between the latest year set forth after “Time Vested Restricted Stock
Release Date” on the signature page and the earliest year set forth thereafter. The resulting
quotient, rounded down to the nearest whole share, is the number of shares of Restricted Stock that
shall be released from such restrictions on each date set forth after “Time Vested Restricted Stock
Release Date” and such date shall be the Release Date for such shares (and only for such shares),
except that if after “Goal” on the signature page “Applicable” appears, then such date shall be a
Release Date only if the condition set forth after “Goal” applicable to such Release Date is
satisfied, provided that if such condition is not satisfied, the number of shares for which a
Release Date did not occur as a result thereof (the “Unreleased Shares”), shall be added to the
number of shares that are released on the next date on which a Release Date occurs, and provided
further that if on the last date set forth after “Time Vested
Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page, there are Unreleased Shares, such shares
shall be released on earliest of the next two anniversaries of such last date on which the
condition set forth after “Goal” is satisfied and such anniversary shall be a Release Date.
(B) As used herein, “Combined Ratio” shall mean, for any year, the sum of the Incurred Loss
Ratio and the Expense Ratio for such year, expressed as a percentage. “Incurred Loss Ratio” shall
mean, for any year, the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the Company’s direct losses incurred
from primary NIW written that year to its direct premiums written from primary NIW written that
year, in each case as computed in accordance with Past Practices. “Expense Ratio” shall mean, for
any year, the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the underwriting and other expenses of the
Company’s insurance company subsidiaries that year to
its net premiums written that year, in each
case as computed in accordance with Past Practices. As used herein, “Past Practices” shall mean
the manner in which the applicable item was calculated by the Company prior to the date of this
Agreement.
(ii) The term “Release Date” shall be applied separately to the Base Restricted Stock, the
Matching Restricted Stock and the Time Vested Restricted Stock as if the term “Release Date” were
the term “Base Restricted Stock Release Date,” the term “Matching Restricted Stock Release Date,”
or the term “Time Vested Restricted Stock Release Date,” as the case may be, and such application
shall correspond to the application of the term “Restricted Stock” as set forth in Paragraph 1(a)
of the Base Instrument.
(b) The Release Date for Time Vested RSUs shall be the same as the Release Date for the Time
Vested Restricted Stock.
(c)(i) The Release Date for Performance RSUs shall be determined as follows. For each date
set forth after “Performance RSUs Release Date” on the signature page, multiply the number referred
to after “Performance RSUs” on the signature page by the product of (i) the Aggregate Percentage
Achievement for the fiscal year of the Company ended on the December 31 immediately preceding such
date and (ii) one-third. The resulting product, rounded down to the nearest whole RSU, is the
number of Performance RSUs for which a Release Date shall occur on the corresponding date set forth
after “Performance RSUs Release Date” and such date shall be the Release Date for such RSUs (and
only for such RSUs); provided that the number of Performance RSUs for which a Release Date occurs
shall in no event exceed the number of Performance RSUs that, when added together with Performance
RSUs as to which a Release Date has previously occurred under this Agreement, equals the number set
forth after “Performance RSUs” on the signature page. The “Aggregate Percentage Achievement” for
any year shall mean the sum of the Expense Ratio Achievement Percentage, the Loss Ratio Achievement
Percentage and the Share Achievement Percentage for such year.
(ii) The “Expense Ratio Achievement Percentage” for any year shall be determined as follows:
(A) If the Company’s Expense Ratio for such year is equal to or higher than the Expense Ratio
set forth after “Maximum Expense Ratio” on the signature page, then the Expense Ratio Achievement
Percentage shall be 0%;
(B) If the Company’s Expense Ratio for such year is equal to the Expense Ratio set forth after
“Target Expense Ratio” on the signature page, then the Expense Ratio Achievement Percentage shall
be 33.34%;
(C) If the Company’s Expense Ratio for such year is equal to or lower than the Expense Ratio
set forth after “Threshold Expense Ratio” on the signature page, then the Expense Ratio Achievement
Percentage shall be 50%; and
(D) If the Company’s Expense Ratio for such year is between the Maximum Expense Ratio and the
Target Expense Ratio, or between the Target Expense Ratio and the Threshold Expense Ratio, then the
Expense Ratio Achievement Percentage shall be
-2-
correspondingly interpolated on a linear basis
between 0% and 33.34%, or between 33.34% and 50%, respectively.
(iii) The “Loss Ratio Achievement Percentage” for any year shall be determined as follows:
(A) If the Company’s Loss Ratio for such year is equal to or higher than the Expense Ratio set
forth after “Maximum Loss Ratio” on the signature page, the Loss Ratio Achievement Percentage shall
be 0%;
(B) If the Company’s Loss Ratio for such year is equal to the Loss Ratio set forth after
“Target Expense Ratio” on the signature page, then the Loss Ratio Achievement Percentage shall be
33.33%;
(C) If the Company’s Loss Ratio for such year is equal to or lower than the Loss Ratio set
forth after “Threshold Loss Ratio” on the signature page, then the Loss Ratio Achievement
Percentage shall be 50%; and
(D) If the Company’s Loss Ratio for such year is between the Maximum Loss Ratio and the Target
Loss Ratio, or between the Target Loss Ratio and the Threshold Loss Ratio, then the Loss Ratio
Achievement Percentage shall be correspondingly interpolated on a linear basis between 0% and
33.33%, or between 33.33% and 50%, respectively.
“Loss Ratio” for any year shall mean the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the Company’s direct
losses incurred from primary NIW written that year to its direct premiums earned from primary NIW
written that year, in each case as computed in accordance with Past Practices.
(iv) The “Share Achievement Percentage” for any year shall be determined as follows:
(A) If the Company’s Flow Market Share for such year is equal to or lower than the Flow Market
Share set forth after “Threshold Share” on the signature page, then the Flow Market Share
Achievement Percentage shall be 0%;
(B) If the Company’s Flow Market Share for such year is equal to the Flow Market Share set
forth after “Target Share” on the signature page, then the Flow Market Share Achievement Percentage
shall be 33.33%;
(C) If the Company’s Flow Market Share for such year is equal to or higher than the Flow
Market Share set forth after “Maximum Share” on the signature page, then the Flow Market Share
Achievement Percentage shall be 50%; and
(D) If the Company’s Flow Market Share for such year is between the Threshold Share and the
Target Share, or between the Target Share and the Maximum Share, then the Flow Market Share
Achievement Percentage shall be correspondingly interpolated on a linear basis between 0% and
33.33%, or between 33.33% and 50%, respectively.
-3-
“Flow Market Share” for any year shall mean the Company’s market share of the industry’s flow NIW
for that year, expressed as a percentage, as reported by Inside Mortgage Finance (along with any
successor publication thereto, “Inside Mortgage Finance”); provided, however, that if Inside
Mortgage Finance has not reported the foregoing by the end of the second business day preceding the
Release Date, then “Flow Market Share” shall, for the applicable year, be calculated by the Company
using data provided by Mortgage Insurance Companies of America (“MICA”) and data publicly reported
by any company included in the calculation used by Inside Mortgage Finance as of the date of this
Agreement, but not included in the data provided by MICA.
(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, RSUs may not be sold, transferred or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated regardless of the occurrence of the Release Date.
(e) If all Time Vested Restricted Stock set forth after “Time Vested Restricted Stock” on the
signature page or if all Performance RSUs set forth after “Performance RSUs” on the signature page
would have been released but for the provisions of this Agreement that round down shares or RSUs to
the nearest whole share, the number of shares or RSUs released on the last Release Date shall be
the shares or RSUs awarded minus the shares or RSUs that were previously released such that on such
last Release Date the fractional shares and fractional RSUs that were not been released due to
rounding shall be released.
(f) If by the end of the second business day preceding any date set forth after “Time Vested
Restricted Stock Release Date” on the signature page (or the next two anniversaries thereof in the
circumstances contemplated by Paragraph 2(a)(i)(A) hereof) all of the information required by the
Company to determine whether the Goal for the prior year was met is not available, or if by the end
of the second business day preceding any date set forth after “Performance RSUs Release Date” on
the signature page, all of the information required by the Company to determine the “Aggregate
Percentage Achievement” is not available, then such date shall be two business days after the date
on which the information to make the determination is available.
3. Escrow. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued (in certificate or electronic
form, at the discretion of the Company) as soon as practicable in the name of the Employee but
shall be held in an escrow arrangement by the transfer agent for the Stock, as
escrow agent. Unless forfeited as provided herein, Restricted Stock shall cease to be held in
escrow and certificates for such Stock shall be delivered to the Employee, or in the case of his
death, to his Beneficiary (as hereinafter defined) on the Release Date or upon any other
termination of the restrictions imposed by Paragraph 2 hereof.
4. Transfer After Release Date; Securities Law Restrictions; Holding Period.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein (including in Paragraph 4(b) below), Restricted Stock shall
become free of the restrictions of Paragraph 2 and be freely transferable by the Employee on the
Release Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the Employee
agrees and acknowledges with respect to any Restricted Stock and any Stock delivered in settlement
of RSUs that has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) (i)
he will not sell or otherwise dispose of such Stock except pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Act and any applicable state securities
-4-
laws, or in a transaction which, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, is exempt from such registration, and (ii) a legend will be
placed on the certificates or other evidence for the Restricted Stock (or in the case of RSUs, any
such Stock delivered in settlement) to such effect.
(b) If after “Holding Period” on the signature page “Applicable” appears, then the Employee
agrees that, during the Holding Period, the Employee will not make a Sale of the Holding Period
Shares. “Holding Period” means a period beginning on the Release Date and ending on the earlier of
(i) the first anniversary of the Release Date and (ii) the first date on which the Employee is no
longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Act (as such term is defined
in the Annex). “Holding Period Shares” means a number of shares of Stock that are released on
such Release Date equal to the lesser of (1) 25% of the aggregate number of shares of Restricted
Stock that are released on the Release Date and (2) 50% of the difference between (i) the aggregate
number of shares of Restricted Stock that are released on the Release Date and (ii) the aggregate
number of shares that are withheld to satisfy withholding tax requirements under Paragraph 10(b) of
this Agreement. “Sale” means a transfer for value, except that, (i) the transfer to the Company of
Holding Period Shares in payment of the exercise price of an option granted to the Employee by the
Company shall not be a Sale if there is no Sale for the remainder of the Holding Period of a number
of shares of Stock received upon exercise of such option that are not less than the number of
Holding Period Shares so transferred in connection with such exercise, and (ii) an involuntary
transfer, including Holding Period Shares converted in a merger, is not a Sale; it is understood
that neither a pledge nor a gift, including to an entity in which the Employee has an interest
(provided that in the case of such an entity, such entity does not make a Sale for the remainder of
the Holding Period), is a transfer for value.
(c) If after “Holding Period” on the signature page “Applicable” appears, then the Employee
agrees that, during the Holding Period (for purposes of applying such definition to this Paragraph
4(c), Release Date means each date on which the Option is exercised), the Employee will not make a
Sale of the Option Holding Period Shares. “Option Holding Period Shares” means a number of shares
of Stock acquired at each exercise of the Option equal to the lesser of (1) 25% of the aggregate
number of shares for which the Option is exercised, and (2) 50% of the difference between (i) the
aggregate number of shares for which the Option is exercised and (ii) the aggregate number of
shares that are withheld from the shares delivered on such exercise to satisfy withholding tax
requirements applicable to such exercise, except that the Option Holding
Period Shares shall not exceed the number of shares for which the Option is exercised minus the sum
of the number of shares that are withheld to satisfy withholding tax requirements under Paragraph
10(b) of this Agreement and the number of shares transferred to the Company in payment of the
exercise price of the Option. The Option is the option granted to the Employee by the Company on
January 28, 2004.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in the parenthetical in clause (ii) of the definition of
Sale, if a transfer that is not a Sale occurs, the Holding Period for the shares involved in such
transfer shall terminate at the time of such transfer.
5. Termination of Employment Due to Death. If the Employee’s employment with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated because of death prior to the Release Date, (i)
the restrictions of Paragraph 2 applicable to the Restricted Stock shall terminate on the date of
death and such Restricted Stock shall be free of such restrictions and,
-5-
except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4 hereof, freely transferable, and (ii) a Release Date shall be deemed to
have occurred for all RSUs.
6. Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. (a) If the Employee’s employment with the Company
and all of its subsidiaries is terminated prior to the Release Date for any reason (including
without limitation, disability or termination by the Company and all subsidiaries thereof, with or
without cause) other than death, all Restricted Stock and all RSUs shall be forfeited to the
Company on the date of such termination unless otherwise provided in subparagraph (b) below, or
unless the Management Development, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of
Directors (the “Management Development Committee”) or other Committee of such Board administering
the Plan (the Management Development Committee or such other Committee is herein referred to as the
“Committee”) determines, on such terms and conditions, if any, as the Committee may impose, that
all or a portion of the Restricted Stock and/or Stock deliverable on settlement of RSUs shall be
released to the Employee and the restrictions of Paragraph 2 applicable thereto shall terminate.
Absence of the Employee on leave approved by a duly elected officer of the Company, other than the
Employee, shall not be considered a termination of employment during the period of such leave.
The Release Date for the Time Vested Restricted Stock (and any Time Vested RSUs) and the
Performance RSUs may occur on multiple dates, each of which is a Release Date for the number of
shares or RSUs determined as provided in Paragraphs 2(a), (b) and (c). Hence, any forfeiture of
Time Vested Restricted Stock, Time Vested Restricted RSUs or Performance RSUs applies only to the
shares or RSUs for which a Release Date had not yet occurred on the date of forfeiture. The
preceding sentence has been included in this Agreement for the purpose of avoiding any doubt that
the result described in the preceding sentence would occur; therefore, such result will occur under
prior agreements awarding Performance Restricted Stock to the Employee even though a comparable
provision is not included in such agreements.
(b) If the Employee’s employment with the Company and all of its subsidiaries terminates by
reason of retirement after reaching age 62 and after having been employed by the Company or any
subsidiary thereof for an aggregate period of at least seven years, such retirement shall not
result in forfeiture of any Time Vested RSUs or Performance RSUs (this provision does
not apply to the Base or Matching Restricted Stock nor does it apply to Time Vested Restricted
Stock not awarded as RSUs) if (1) the Employee’s employment with the Company or one of its
subsidiaries continues for no less than one year after the date of this Agreement, and (2) no later
than the date on which employment terminates, the Employee enters into an agreement with the
Company (which agreement shall be drafted by and acceptable to the Company) under which the
Employee agrees not to compete with the Company and its subsidiaries during a period ending one
year after the latest of the dates set forth after (i) “Time Vested Restricted Stock Release Date”
on the signature page, and (ii) “Performance RSUs Release Date” on the signature page, and the
Employee complies with such agreement. If the Employee enters into such a non-competition
agreement and thereafter breaches the terms thereof, the RSUs shall be forfeited and the Employee
shall return to the Company any Stock awarded under this Agreement that was delivered to the
Employee after the date on which such non-competition agreement was entered into. If the
conditions in the second preceding sentence are satisfied and the Employee complies with the terms
of such agreement, upon the Employee’s
-6-
death, the provisions of Paragraph 5 shall apply as if the
Employee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminated because of such death.
(c) Any (i) Performance RSUs for which a Release Date has not occurred by the latest date set
forth after “Performance RSUs Release Date” on the signature page (as such date may be extended
under Paragraph 2(f)hereof) and (ii) Time Vested Restricted Stock for which a Release Date does not
occur because the condition set forth after “Goal” on the signature page is not satisfied by the
second anniversary of the latest date set forth after “Time Vested Restricted Stock Release Date”
on the signature page (as such date may be extended under Paragraph 2(f) hereof), shall be
forfeited to the Company, unless in the case of (i) and (ii) the Committee determines otherwise as
contemplated in subparagraph (a) above.
(d) If Restricted Stock is forfeited, the Employee hereby appoints the Company, acting through
any Vice President or more senior officer, as the Employee’s attorney-in-fact to transfer such
forfeited Restricted Stock to the Company.
7. Beneficiary. (a) The person whose name appears on the signature page hereof after
the caption “Beneficiary” or any successor designated by the Employee in accordance herewith (the
person who is the Employee’s Beneficiary at the time of his death herein referred to as the
“Beneficiary”) shall be entitled to receive the Restricted Stock to be released to the Beneficiary
under Paragraphs 3 and 5 as a result of the death of the Employee and the Stock to be delivered in
settlement of RSUs. The Employee may from time to time revoke or change his Beneficiary without the
consent of any prior Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such
designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that
no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the
Committee prior to the Employee’s death, and in no event shall any designation be effective as of a
date prior to such receipt.
(b) If no such Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of an Employee’s death, or if
no designated Beneficiary survives the Employee or if such designation conflicts with law, upon the
death of the Employee, the Employee’s estate shall be entitled to receive the Restricted Stock and
the Stock to be delivered in settlement of RSUs. If the Committee is in
doubt as to the right of any person to receive such Restricted Stock or Stock to be delivered
in settlement of RSUs, the Company may retain the same and any distributions thereon, without
liability for any interest thereon, until the Committee determines the person entitled thereto, or
the Company may deliver such all of such property and any distributions thereon to any court of
appropriate jurisdiction and such delivery shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the
Company therefor.
8. Stock Legends. (a) In addition to any legends placed on certificates for
Restricted Stock, each certificate or other evidence for shares of Restricted Stock shall bear the
following legend:
“The sale or other transfer of these shares of stock, whether voluntary, or by
operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions set forth in the MGIC
Investment Corporation 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and a Restricted Stock Agreement
between MGIC Investment Corporation and the registered owner
-7-
hereof. A copy of such Plan and such Agreement may be obtained from the Secretary of MGIC Investment
Corporation.”
When the restrictions imposed by Paragraph 2 hereof terminate, the Employee shall be entitled to
have the foregoing legend removed from such Stock.
(b) If after “Holding Period” on the signature page “Applicable” appears, at the option of the
Company, an appropriate legend may be placed on certificates for Stock noting the requirements to
hold such Stock imposed by Paragraphs 4(b) and (c) of this Agreement. When such requirements
terminate, the Employee shall be entitled to have the foregoing legend removed from such
certificates.
9. Voting Rights; Dividends and Other Distributions; Rights of RSUs. (a) While the
Restricted Stock is subject to restrictions under Paragraph 2 and prior to any forfeiture thereof,
the Employee may exercise full voting rights for the Restricted Stock.
(b) While the Restricted Stock is subject to the restrictions under Paragraph 2 and prior to
any forfeiture thereof, the Employee shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other
distributions paid with respect to the Restricted Stock. If any such dividends or distributions
are paid in Stock, such shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of
Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid, including the requirement that Restricted
Stock be held in escrow pursuant to Paragraph 3 hereof.
(c) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Employee shall have, with respect to the
Restricted Stock, all other rights of holders of Stock.
(d) RSUs represent only the right to receive as Stock, on the terms provided herein (i) the
number of shares indicated after “Time Vested Restricted Stock” on the signature page and (ii) a
number of shares equal to the number indicated after “Performance RSUs” on the signature page.
Except to the extent forfeited as provided herein, on the RSU Settlement Date set forth on the
signature page or determined as provided thereon, RSUs shall be settled by the
issuance (or transfer from treasury) of shares of Stock and certificates for such Stock shall
be delivered to the Employee, or in the case of his death, to his Beneficiary. The Employee with
respect to RSUs shall have no rights as a holder of Stock, including the right to vote or to
receive dividends, until certificates for such Stock are actually delivered in settlement of the
RSUs. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) on the next Payroll Date (as defined below)
after each date on which the Company pays a dividend in cash on the Stock, the Company shall make a
payment in cash on the Time Vested RSUs that are outstanding on the record date for such dividend
equal to the dividend that would have been paid on the number of shares indicated after “Shares of
Time Vested Restricted Stock” on the signature page had such shares been outstanding, and (ii) to
the extent Performance RSUs are released on a Release Date, the Company shall make a payment in
cash equal to the aggregate amount that would have been paid as dividends on the shares of Stock
issued or transferred in settlement if such shares had been outstanding on each dividend record
date on and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date on which such Shares are issued
(or transferred from treasury). “Payroll Date” means a date on which the Company or a subsidiary
makes a bi-weekly payment of wages to the Employee.
-8-
10. Tax Withholding. (a) It shall be a condition of the obligation of the Company to
release from escrow Restricted Stock to the Employee or the Beneficiary or to deliver Stock in
settlement of RSUs, and the Employee agrees, that the Employee shall pay to the Company upon its
demand, such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying its liability
to withhold federal, state, or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of the award of the
Restricted Stock or RSUs, as a result of the termination of the restrictions on Restricted Stock
hereunder or the delivery of Stock in settlement of RSUs.
(b) If the Employee does not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, with respect to the Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, and does not satisfy
the withholding obligations prior to the Tax Date (as defined below) by paying sufficient cash to
the Company or transferring ownership of a sufficient number of other shares of Stock to the
Company as provided in Paragraph 10(c), then the withholding tax requirements arising from the
termination of restrictions on the Restricted Stock or the settlement of RSUs in Stock shall be
satisfied through a withholding by the Company of shares of Stock that would otherwise be delivered
to the Employee. In such event, the Company shall withhold that number of shares of Restricted
Stock otherwise deliverable to the Employee from escrow hereunder or that number of shares of Stock
that would otherwise be delivered in settlement of RSUs, in each case, having a Fair Market Value
(as such term is defined in the Plan) on the day prior to the Tax Date equal to the amount required
to be withheld as a result of the termination of the restrictions on such Restricted Stock or as a
result of the settlement of RSUs in Stock. As used herein, “Tax Date” means the date on which the
Employee must include in his gross income for federal income tax purposes the fair market value of
the Restricted Stock, or Stock delivered in settlement of the RSUs, over the purchase price
therefor.
(c) If the Employee desires to use cash or other shares of Stock to satisfy the withholding
obligations set forth above, the Employee must: (i) make an election to do so in writing on a form
provided by the Company, (ii) deliver such election form to the Company by the deadline specified
by the Company, and (iii) deliver to the company the required cash or other
shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value on the Tax Date (as defined above) equal to the
amount required to be withheld.
11. Adjustments in Event of Change in Stock or Fiscal Year. In the event of any
change in the outstanding shares of Stock (“capital adjustment”) for any reason, including but not
limited to, any stock splits, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar event which, in the judgment of
the Committee, could distort the implementation of the award of Restricted Stock or the award of
RSUs or the realization of the objectives of such award, the Committee shall make such adjustments
in the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement or in the shares deliverable on
settlement of RSUs, or in the terms, conditions or restrictions of this Agreement as the Committee
deems equitable, except that in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Stock that occurs after the date of this Agreement
(collectively, “future capital adjustment”), the number of RSUs shall be proportionally adjusted
for any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares resulting from such future capital
adjustment, any such adjustment rounded down to the next lower whole share. In addition, if the
Company changes its fiscal year from a year ending December 31, the Committee may make such
adjustments in the Time Vested Restricted Stock
-9-
Release Date and the Performance RSUs Release Date
as set forth on the signature page as the Committee deems equitable.
12. Change in Control. If a “Change in Control of the Company” (as defined in the
Annex attached hereto) occurs, notwithstanding anything herein, the restrictions of Paragraph 2
applicable to the Restricted Stock shall terminate on the date of the Change in Control of the
Company and a Release Date shall be deemed to have occurred for all RSUs. The Employee agrees that
such Annex may be amended by the Company on one or more occasions without the consent or approval
of the Employee if in the determination of the Committee such amendment is necessary or appropriate
to conform the provisions of such Annex to Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1 et seq. or any position
published by the IRS with respect to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The right
of the Company to make such an amendment does not depend on whether the Restricted Stock or RSUs
are subject to such Section but will enable the Company to have uniform provisions governing a
change of control among all agreements having such change of control provisions, including those
under which compensation is subject to such Section. Any such amendment will become effective upon
notice to the Employee. The Company will seek to give the Employee notice of an amendment with
reasonable promptness after the Committee has approved the amendment.
13. Powers of Company Not Affected; No Right to Continued Employment.
(a) The existence of the Restricted Stock or RSUs shall not affect in any way the right or
power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any combination, subdivision or
reclassification of the Stock or any reorganization, merger, consolidation, business combination,
exchange of shares, or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any
issue of bonds, debentures or stock having rights or preferences equal, superior or affecting the
Restricted Stock or any Stock to be issued in settlement of RSUs or, in both cases, the rights
thereof, or dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all
or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a
similar character or otherwise. The determination of the Committee as to any such adjustment shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes of this Agreement.
(b) Nothing herein contained shall confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the
employment of the Company or any subsidiary or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the
Company or any subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time, subject, however, to
the provisions of any agreement of employment between the Company or any subsidiary and the
Employee. The Employee acknowledges that a termination of his or her employment could occur at a
time before which the restrictions referred to in Paragraph 2 above have lapsed, resulting in the
forfeiture of the Restricted Stock and RSUs by the Employee, unless otherwise provided herein. In
such event, the Employee will not be able to realize the value of the Restricted Stock or of the
Stock that underlies the RSUs nor will the Employee be entitled to any compensation on account of
such value.
14. Interpretation by Committee. The Employee agrees that any dispute or disagreement
which may arise in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, and that any interpretation by the Committee of the terms of this Agreement or the Plan
and any determination made by the Committee under this Agreement
-10-
or the Plan may be made in the
sole discretion of the Committee and shall be final, binding, and conclusive. Any such
determination need not be uniform and may be made differently among Employees awarded Restricted
Stock and RSUs.
15. Clawback. If and to the extent the Committee deems it appropriate for such
payment to be made, each Covered Employee shall pay the Company an amount equal to the Excess
Compensation. “Covered Employee” means an Employee who was a Section 16 Filer at an Affected
Performance RSUs Release Date regardless of whether such Employee ceased to be a Section Filer
thereafter. “Section 16 Filer” is a person who is required to file reports under Section 16(a) of
the Act as such requirement to so file is in effect at each Affected Performance RSUs Release Date.
“Affected Performance RSUs Release Date” means each Performance RSUs Release Date on which, had a
financial restatement that was made after such Performance RSUs Release Date been in effect at such
Performance RSUs Release Date, the number of shares of Stock settled on account of Performance RSUs
would have been lower. “Excess Compensation” means (i) the difference between the Income that was
recognized by the Covered Employee on an Affected Performance RSUs Release Date and the Income that
would have been recognized had the financial restatement referred to in the definition of Affected
Performance RSUs Release Date then been in effect, except that such difference will be deemed to be
zero for each Affected Performance RSUs Release Date prior to the date on which Covered Employee
was a Section 16 Filer, plus (ii) the value of any deduction to which the Covered Employee is
entitled on account of the payment to the Company required by this Paragraph 15. “Income” means
income determined for federal income tax purposes minus the amount of federal, state and local
income taxes and, to the extent applicable, the employee portion of Social Security and Medicaid
payroll taxes, payable on account of such income. The amount of federal, state and local income
taxes and the value of any deduction contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence
shall be computed by assuming that Income is taxed at the highest marginal rate, with such rate for
any state and local income taxes appropriately adjusted to reflect the benefit of an itemized
federal deduction for such
taxes (if in the case of local taxes, such taxes are eligible for such a deduction), which
adjustment shall be made by assuming that no reduction in such deduction on account of the Covered
Employee’s adjusted gross income applies.
16. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Wisconsin applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein
between residents thereof.
(b) The waiver by the Company of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be
construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or waiver of any other provision hereof.
(c) The Restricted Stock and RSUs shall be deemed to have been awarded pursuant to the Plan
and is subject to the terms and conditions thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms
hereof and the provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Any and
all terms used herein, unless specifically defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in the Plan. A copy of the Plan is available on request of the Employee made in writing or by
e-mail to the Company’s Secretary.

records of the Company, and shall be given to the Committee or the Company at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx
Avenue, Milwaukee 53202, Attention: Secretary. All such notices shall be given by first class
mail, postage pre-paid, or by personal delivery.
(e) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its
successors and assigns and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employee, the
Beneficiary and the personal representative(s) and heirs of the Employee, except that the Employee
may not transfer any interest in any Restricted Stock prior to the release of the restrictions
imposed by Paragraph 2 nor may the Employee transfer any interest in any RSUs.
(f) As a condition to the grant of the Restricted Stock and RSUs, the Employee must execute an

Annex - Page 1 of 4
shareholders held following consummation of such merger, consolidation, or share exchange; and,
provided further, that in the event the failure of any such persons appointed to the

acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates after July 22, 1999, pursuant
to express authorization by the Board that refers to this exception) representing at
least 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or

to its stock; (b) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which
