Exhibit 10.4.i
LONG TERM INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE SHARE
PURSUANT TO THE FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AND STOCK PLAN
This Agreement is made as of the 26th day of February, 2009 (the “Grant Date”) by FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) and <<Participant Name>> (the “Employee”).
In 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted the FMC Technologies, Inc. Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan, as it may be amended and continued, is incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement and will control the rights and obligations of the Company and the Employee under this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms have the meanings provided in the Plan. To the extent there is a conflict between the Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan will control.
The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) determined that it would be to the competitive advantage and interest of the Company and its stockholders to grant an award of restricted stock units to the Employee, the amount of which will vary based on the Company’s performance, as an inducement to remain in the service of the Company or one of its affiliates (collectively, the “Employer”), and as an incentive for increased efforts during such service.
The Committee, on behalf of the Company, grants to the Employee an award of << # of Shares Granted>> shares of restricted stock (the “Restricted Shares”) of the Company’s common stock par value of $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The number of shares ultimately earned by the Employee will depend upon the Company’s 2009 fiscal year performance on three performance criteria – EBITDA growth, Return on Investment, and Total Shareholder Return relative to the performance of eleven (11) other oilfield service and equipment companies that are designated by the Committee at the time of the Committee’s approval of the grant of this award. The actual number of Restricted Shares earned by the Employee will be determined at a meeting of the Committee following the completion of the 2009 fiscal year, at which time the Committee will review and approve the Company’s calculation of the Company’s performance on the three specified performance criteria. The total number of shares issued will vary between 0% and 200% of a target award amount depending on whether the Company’s full year performance on the three performance criteria is determined to be above average, average or below average relative to the peer group of peer group of 11 selected oilfield service and equipment companies, with one third of the total grant being tied to each of the three performance measures. The Company’s performance on each of these measures will be
designated “above average” if the Company’s performance is better than the midpoint between the 3rd and 4th ranked peer companies for such measure (1st being the highest performance), “average” if the Company’s performance is better than the midpoint between the 8th and 9th ranked peer companies for such measure and lower than the midpoint between the 3rd and 4th ranked peer companies for such measure, and “below average” if the Company’s performance is below the midpoint between the 8th and 9th ranked peer companies for such measure. For below-average performance on any of the three performance measures, the Employee will receive 0% of the one-third portion of this grant that is tied to such performance measure, for average performance, 100% of such one-third portion of this grant tied to that performance measure, and for above-average performance, 200% of such one-third portion of this grant. A 0% of the one-third portion of this grant will be reflected if the Total Shareholder Return is 0% or below regardless of the performance relative to the peer group.
The award is made upon the following terms and conditions:
1. Vesting. The Restricted Shares ultimately earned by the Employee will vest and be immediately transferable on January 2, 2012 (the “Vesting Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Shares will vest and be immediately transferable in the event of the Employee’s death or Disability, or a Change in Control of the Company and, for purposes of determining the amount of the resulting award, it will be assumed that the Company achieved “average” performance on each of the performance measures, resulting in the payment of 100% of the award amount of this grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Employee’s retirement under the Company’s pension plan on or after age 62, the Restricted Shares will vest and be immediately transferable on the Vesting Date. All Restricted Shares will be forfeited upon termination of the Employee’s employment with the Employer before the Vesting Date for a reason other than death, Disability, a Change in Control of the Company or retirement under the Company’s pension plan on or after age 62. Prior to the Vesting Date, an Award remains subject to substantial risk of forfeiture.
2. Adjustment. The Committee may make equitable substitutions or adjustments in the Restricted Shares as it determines to be appropriate in the event of any corporate event or transaction such as a stock split, merger, consolidation, separation, including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, reorganization or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company. Notwithstanding the above, any such adjustment to an Award shall comply with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
3. Rights as Stockholder.
(a) The Restricted Shares will be issued in the form of a book entry registration in the amount of the maximum potential award. The Company may issue a stock certificate (the “Certificate”) in the Employee’s name representing the Restricted Shares prior to the Vesting Date, in which case, the Employee will execute a stock power in favor of the Company, the Certificate will be held by the Secretary of the Company (the “Escrow Agent”) and will be imprinted with a legend stating that the Restricted Shares represented by the Certificate may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with this Agreement and are subject to reduction requiring surrender or replacement of the Certificate. The Escrow Agent will hold the Certificate until the Vesting Date. As soon as practicable after the Vesting Date the Company will issue unlegended Certificates for Common Stock to the Employee in the amount of the award earned, and the Employee will surrender to the Company any legended Certificates representing the Restricted Shares, if applicable.
(b) Prior to the Vesting Date, the Employee may not vote, sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of the Restricted Shares. The Restricted Shares have Dividend Equivalent Rights.
4. No Limitation on Rights of the Company. The granting of Restricted Shares will not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, reincorporate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
5. Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan will be construed as constituting a commitment, guarantee, agreement or understanding of any kind or nature that the Employer will continue to employ the Employee, or as affecting in any way the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of the Employee at any time.
6. Government Regulation. The Company’s obligation to deliver Common Stock following the Vesting Date will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
7. Withholding. The Employer will comply with all applicable withholding tax laws, and will be entitled to take any action necessary to effectuate such compliance. The Company may withhold a portion of the Common Stock to which the Employee or beneficiary otherwise would be entitled equivalent in value to the taxes required to be withheld, determined based upon the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock. For purposes of withholding, Fair Market Value shall be equal to the closing price of the amount of Common Stock earned by the Employee pursuant to this award on the Vesting Date, or, if the Vesting Date is not a business day, the next business day immediately following the Vesting Date.
