EXHIBIT 10.2
THIS FORM OF AWARD AGREEMENT IS PART OF A PROSPECTUS COVERING SECURITIES REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
X. X. XXXXX CORPORATION
2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT
GRANTED TO XXXX X. XXXXXX ON FEBRUARY 7, 2006
GRANTED TO XXXX X. XXXXXX ON FEBRUARY 7, 2006
X. X. Xxxxx Corporation (“Company”) and its shareholders believe that their business interests are
best served by extending to you an opportunity to earn additional compensation based on the growth
of the Company’s business. To this end, the Company and its shareholders adopted the X. X. Xxxxx
Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Plan”) as a means through which you may share in the
Company’s success. If you satisfy the conditions described in this Agreement and the Plan, your
Award will mature into an opportunity to buy common shares of the Company.
This Award Agreement describes many features of your Award and the conditions you must meet before
you may receive the value associated with your Award. To ensure you fully understand these terms
and conditions, you should:
• | Carefully read the Plan to ensure you understand how the Plan works; | ||
• | Read this Award Agreement carefully to ensure you understand what you must do to earn your Award; and | ||
• | Contact Xxxxxx Xxxxx at (000) 000-0000 if you have any questions about your Award. |
Also, no later than 10 days after the Grant Date specified in the attached description of your
Award, you must return a signed copy of the Award Agreement to:
Xxxxxx Xxxxx | ||
X. X. Xxxxx Corporation | ||
00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, X.X. | ||
Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000 |
If you do not do this, your Award will be revoked automatically as of the date it was granted and
you will not be entitled to receive any amount on account of the retroactively revoked Award.
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) imposes substantial penalties on persons
who receive some forms of deferred compensation. Your Award has been designed to avoid these
penalties. However, because of the uncertainty that currently exists with respect to the effect of
Section 409A on executive compensation arrangements, it is possible that your Award and the Award
Agreement must be revised in the future. As a condition of accepting this Award, you must agree to
accept those revisions, without any further consideration, even if those revisions change the terms
of your Award and reduce its value or potential value.
-22-
Nature of Your Award
You have been granted Nonqualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”) which you may exercise to purchase
common shares of the Company but only if you satisfy the conditions described in this Award
Agreement and pay the Exercise Price specified below. Federal income tax rules apply to NQSOs.
These and other conditions affecting your NQSOs are described in this Award Agreement, the Plan and
the Plan’s prospectus, all of which you should read carefully before you exercise the NQSOs.
No later than February 17, 2006 you must return a signed copy of this Award Agreement to:
Xxxxxx Xxxxx | ||
X. X. Xxxxx Corporation | ||
00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, X.X. | ||
Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000 |
If you do not do this, your Award will be revoked automatically as of the Grant Date.
Grant Date: Your NQSOs were issued on February 7, 2006.
Number of NQSOs: You have been granted 100,000 NQSOs.
You may buy one common share of the Company for each NQSO granted but only if you meet the
conditions described in this Award Agreement and in the Plan.
When You May Exercise Your Award and When It Will Expire
Normal Vesting Date: You may not exercise your NQSOs until they vest. Your NQSOs will vest (and
may be exercised) if you are an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company on the
following dates (see below for a discussion of what happens if your employment terminates before
these dates or what might happen to accelerate the date your NQSOs vest):
33,333 NQSOs, any time on or after February 7, 2007;
33,333 NQSOs, any time on or after February 7, 2008; and
33,334 NQSOs, any time on or after February 7, 2009.
This does not mean that you must exercise your NQSOs on these dates; these are merely the first
dates that you may do so. However, your NQSOs will expire unless they are exercised before the
Expiration Date.
-23-
How Your NQSOs Might Vest (and Be Exercisable) Earlier Than The Normal Vesting Date: Regardless of
the normal vesting schedule just given, your NQSOs will fully vest (and may be exercised) if there
is a Business Combination (as defined in the Plan). If this happens, your NQSOs will be fully
exercisable as of the date of the Business Combination. In addition, while your Executive
Employment Agreement with the Company dated February 7, 2006 remains in effect (or if any other
agreement between you and the Company so provides), your NQSOs will become fully vested (and may be
exercised) if your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company (other than for Cause,
Disability or the result of death) or by you for Good Reason (as those capitalized terms are
defined in your Executive Employment Agreement or any other employment agreement between you and
the Company).
How Your NQSOs May be Forfeited. If you do not exercise your NQSOs before the Expiration Date
(as defined below), they will expire and may not be exercised at a later date. In addition,
• | If your employment with the Company terminates prior to the Expiration Date for Cause (as defined in your Executive Employment Agreement or in any other employment agreement between you and the Company or, if neither the Executive Employment Agreement nor any other employment agreement is then in effect, as such term is defined in the Plan), your NQSOs will expire on the date of termination and may not be exercised following termination of employment. | ||
• | If your employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than Cause (as defined above), the NQSOs that are vested as of the date of termination may be exercised for a period ending on the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months following the date of termination of employment or (ii) the Expiration Date. If your NQSOs are not exercised before such date, they will expire and may not be exercised at a later date. |
Exercising Your Award
There are specific procedures you must follow to exercise an NQSO; if you do not follow these
procedures, your attempted exercise will be disregarded.
When you buy a common share of the Company by exercising an NQSO, the option exercised is cancelled
and no more shares may be bought through the cancelled option.
Expiration Date: If your NQSOs do not expire earlier as described above, they will expire on (and
may not be exercised after) the close of business on February 6, 2013.
If you do not exercise your NQSOs before the Expiration Date, they will expire and may not be
exercised at a later date.
Exercise Price: You must pay $6.58 for each common share of the Company you buy when you exercise
an NQSO.
-24-
Minimum Number of NQSOs That You May Exercise: The smallest number of NQSOs that you may exercise
at any one time is 100 or, if fewer, the total number of your outstanding vested NQSOs.
Also, you may not exercise any NQSO to buy a fractional common share of the Company; the value of a
fractional share will be paid in cash.
Procedures for Exercising Your NQSOs: To exercise an NQSO, you must:
• | Complete a copy of the Nonqualified Stock Option Exercise Form attached to this Award Agreement (additional copies are available from Xxxxxx Xxxxx at (000) 000-0000 or at the address given above); and | ||
• | Pay the Exercise Price specified above (i.e., $6.58) for each share being purchased by exercising an NQSO). |
This must be done before your NQSOs expire (see section titled “When You May Exercise Your Award
and When It Will Expire” above).
You may pay the Exercise Price in one of three ways. These are:
• | By check in the amount of the Exercise Price ($6.58) multiplied by the number of NQSOs being exercised. This check must be made payable to “X. X. Xxxxx Corporation.” In this case, and as soon as administratively practicable, the Company will issue you a number of shares equal to the number of NQSOs you are exercising. | ||
• | Through a cashless exercise. In this case, upon exercise of the NQSOs you will receive a reduced number of shares having a fair market value equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares subject to the NQSO being exercised and their Exercise Price. If you elect this alternative, you will not have to spend any cash to exercise your NQSOs but you will receive fewer shares than if you pay the Exercise Price in cash. | ||
• | Through an attestation process, which is available only if you have owned other common shares of the Company for at least six months before the NQSOs are exercised. In this case, you will surrender shares of the Company you have owned for at least six months and the fair market value of these shares will be applied to pay the Exercise Price. If you elect this alternative, you will not have to spend any cash to exercise your NQSOs. |
It is impossible now to calculate the effect of a cashless exercise or the attestation process on
the number of shares you will receive when your NQSOs are exercised. If you intend to use either
the cashless exercise or attestation process to exercise your NQSOs, you must contact Xxxxxx Xxxxx
when you complete the Nonqualified Stock Option Exercise Notice to be sure you understand the
effect of these forms of exercise.
-25-
Other Rules Affecting Your Award
Beneficiary Designation: You may name a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive or to exercise any
vested NQSOs that are unpaid or unexercised when you die. This may be done only on the attached
Beneficiary Designation Form and by following the rules described in that form. This form need not
be completed now and is not required as a condition of receiving your Award. If you die without
completing a Beneficiary Designation Form or if you do not complete that form correctly, your
Beneficiary will be your surviving spouse or, if you do not have a surviving spouse, your estate.
Tax Withholding: The Company will withhold from other amounts owing to you, or require you to
remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax
requirements resulting from your exercise of the NQSOs. If there are not other payments due to
you, the Company will defer the issuance of shares to you until the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days
after you deliver the Exercise Form or (ii) the date you remit the required amount. If you have
not remitted the required amount within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of your Exercise
Form, the Company will permanently withhold from the shares otherwise issuable to you the minimum
amount required to be withheld to comply with applicable federal, state and local income, wage and
employment taxes and distribute the balance of the shares to you.
Transferring Your NQSOs: During your life your NQSOs may not be transferred to another person.
However, you may complete a Beneficiary Designation Form to name the person who may exercise your
NQSOs if you die before their Expiration Date. Also, the Committee may allow you to place your
NQSOs into a trust established for your benefit or for the benefit of your family. Contact Xxxxxx
Xxxxx at (000) 000-0000 or at the address given above if you are interested in doing this.
Governing Law: This Award Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws
of the United States and of the State of Ohio (other than laws governing conflicts of laws).
Other Agreements: Also, your NQSOs will be subject to the terms of any other written agreements
between you and the Company including, without limitation, your Executive Employment Agreement.
Adjustments to NQSOs: Your Award will be adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect any change to the
Company’s capital structure (e.g., the number of your NQSOs and the Exercise Price will be adjusted
to reflect a stock split).
Other Rules: Your NQSOs also are subject to more rules described in the Plan and in the Plan’s
prospectus. You should read both these documents carefully to ensure you fully understand all the
terms and conditions of this Award. In the event of a conflict between this Award Agreement and
the Plan, the Plan will control.

Tax Treatment of Your Award
The federal income tax treatment of your NQSOs is discussed in the Plan’s prospectus.
