THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, effective as of the Date of Grant set forth above (this
“Agreement”), represents the grant of Restricted Stock by Xxxxxx Aluminum Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), to the Participant named above pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
The Plan provides a complete description of the terms and conditions governing the Restricted
Stock granted hereunder. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the
terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall completely supersede and replace the conflicting terms of
this Agreement. All capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan unless
specifically set forth otherwise herein.
1. Employment with the Company. Except as may otherwise be provided in Sections 5 or 6 of
this Agreement, shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are granted on the condition that the
Participant remains an Employee of the Company from the Date of Grant set forth above through (and
including) the “Date on Which Restrictions Lapse” set forth in the table above opposite such shares
of Restricted Stock (such applicable periods each being referred to herein as a “Period of
Restriction”).
1
This grant of Restricted Stock shall not confer any right to the Participant (or any other
Participant) to be granted Restricted Stock or other Awards in the future under the Plan.
2. Certificate Legend. Each certificate representing, or book-entry account credited with,
shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall bear the following legend:
“The sale or other transfer of the shares of common stock represented hereby,
whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to certain
restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Xxxxxx Aluminum Corporation
Amended and Restated 2006 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
and in the associated Restricted Stock Award Agreement. A copy of the Plan
and such Restricted Stock Award Agreement may be obtained from Xxxxxx Aluminum
Corporation.”
3. Receipt and Delivery of Stock; Removal of Restrictions.
(a) | The Participant waives receipt from the Company of a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder registered in the Participant’s name and bearing a legend evidencing the restrictions imposed on such shares of Restricted Stock by this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges that the Company shall retain custody of such certificate or certificates until the restrictions imposed by this Agreement on the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder lapse. The Participant acknowledges that, alternatively, the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may be credited to a book-entry account in the Participant’s name, with instructions from the Company to the Company’s transfer agent that such shares shall remain restricted until the restrictions imposed by this Agreement on such shares lapse. The Participant will provide the Company a duly signed stock power in such form as may be requested by the Company. | ||
(b) | Except as may otherwise be provided herein and in the Plan, the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall become freely transferable by the Participant on the dates and in the numbers set forth under “Lapse of Restrictions” above, subject to all restrictions on transfers imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policies as in effect from time to time or by applicable federal or state securities laws. Once shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject to any restrictions on transfer under this Agreement or the Plan, the Participant shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the applicable certificates or book-entry account. |
4. Voting Rights and Dividends. During a Period of Restriction, the Participant may exercise
full voting rights and shall receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the
shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Participant at the relevant time;
provided, however, that if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares
of the Company’s capital stock, such shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on
transferability, risk of forfeiture and rights of the Company (including under this Section 4) as
are the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. In the event (a) the
Participant ceases to be an Employee of the Company during a Period of Restriction and forfeits any
shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 5(e) of this Agreement or (b) the Participant
forfeits any shares of Restricted Stock pursuant
2
to Section 7 or 8 of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to demand that all or
any portion of dividends or distributions received by the Participant in respect of such forfeited
shares of Restricted Stock and not paid in shares of the Company’s capital stock be repaid to the
Company. Furthermore, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, set off the amounts payable
to it as a result of any such demand against any amounts that may be owing from time to time by the
Company or any Subsidiary to the Participant, whether as wages or vacation pay or in the form of
any other benefit or for any other reason; provided, however, that, except to the
extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4), such offset shall not apply to
amounts that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
5. Termination of Employment.
(a) | By Death. In the event the Participant ceases to be an Employee of the Company by reason of death during a Period of Restriction, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Participant at the time of death shall no longer be subject to the Period of Restriction and shall become freely transferable (subject, however, to all restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or by applicable federal or state securities laws) by such Person or Persons that have been named as the Participant’s beneficiary as contemplated by Section 9 of this Agreement or by such Person or Persons that have acquired the Participant’s rights to such shares of Restricted Stock by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Once shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject to any restrictions on transfer under this Agreement or the Plan, the Person or Persons holding such shares shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the applicable certificates or book-entry account. | ||
(b) | By Disability. In the event the Participant ceases to be an Employee of the Company by reason of Disability (as defined in this Section 5(b)) during a Period of Restriction, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Participant at the time of employment termination shall no longer be subject to the Period of Restriction and shall become freely transferable (subject, however, to all restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or by applicable federal or state securities laws) by the Participant. Once shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject to any restrictions on transfer under this Agreement or the Plan, the Person holding such shares shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the applicable stock certificates or book-entry account. | ||
“Disability” shall be defined as a total and permanent disability as a result of bodily injury, disease or mental disorder which results in the Participant’s entitlement to long-term disability benefits under the Xxxxxx Aluminum Self-Insured Welfare Plan or the Xxxxxx Aluminum Salaried Employees Retirement Plan. | |||
(c) | Involuntary Termination Other Than For Cause or Detrimental Activity; Termination For Good Reason. In the event the Participant ceases to be an Employee of the Company because either (i) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries terminates such employment for any reason other than for Cause or other Detrimental Activity or (ii) the Participant terminates his or her employment for |
3
Good Reason, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Participant at the time of such employment termination shall no longer be subject to the Period of Restriction and shall become freely transferable (subject, however, to all restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or by applicable federal or state securities laws) by the Participant. Once shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject to any restrictions on transfer under this Agreement or the Plan, the Person holding such shares shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the applicable stock certificates or book-entry account. |
(d) | Retirement. In the event the Participant ceases to be an Employee of the Company as a result of retirement at or after age 65 during a Period of Restriction, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Participant at the time of such retirement shall, subject to the forfeiture provisions contained in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement, become freely transferable (subject, however, to all restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or by applicable federal or state securities laws) on the dates and in the number of shares set forth under “Lapse of Restrictions” above as more fully described in Section 3(b) above or, if earlier, on the Participant’s death, by the Participant or, in the event of the Participant’s death, by such Person or Persons that have been named as the Participant’s beneficiary as contemplated by Section 9 of this Agreement or by such Person or Persons that have acquired the Participant’s rights to such shares of Restricted Stock by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Once shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject to any restrictions on transfer under this Agreement or the Plan, the Person or Persons holding such shares shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the applicable certificates or book-entry account. | ||
(e) | For Other Reasons. In the event the Participant ceases to be an Employee of the Company for any reason other than the reasons set forth in Section 5(a), 5(b), 5(c) or 5(d) of this Agreement during a Period of Restriction, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Participant at the time of employment termination shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Company. The Company shall have the right, at the sole discretion of the Committee, to vest all or any portion of the Restricted Stock grant held by the Participant that would otherwise be forfeited. |
6. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the
event of a Change in Control of the Company during a Period of Restriction and, unless the
Participant has ceased to be an Employee of the Company as a result of retirement at or after age
65 as contemplated by Section 5(d) of this Agreement, while the Participant continues to be an
Employee of the Company, the Period of Restriction shall immediately lapse, with all shares of
Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Participant at the time of such Change in
Control of the Company no longer being subject to any Period of Restriction and becoming freely
transferable (subject to restrictions on transfers imposed by the Company’s certificate of
incorporation, bylaws or xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policies or by applicable federal or state securities
laws) by the Participant. Once shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject
to any restrictions on transfer under this Agreement or the Plan, the Person holding such shares
shall be
4
entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the
applicable certificates or book-entry account.
7. Restrictions on Transfer. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with
the Plan, during the applicable Period of Restriction, shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder
may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated (a
“Transfer”), other than as contemplated by Section 9 of this Agreement, by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. If, during a Period
of Restriction, any Transfer, whether voluntary or involuntary, of shares of Restricted Stock
granted hereunder is made other than in accordance with this Agreement or the Plan, or if any
attachment, execution, garnishment or lien shall be issued against or placed upon shares of
Restricted Stock granted hereunder, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder then held by
the Participant shall be immediately forfeited to the Company and all obligations of the Company
under this Agreement shall terminate.
8. Detrimental Activity. If the Participant, either during employment by the Company or a
Subsidiary or within one (1) year after termination of such employment (or, if termination of such
employment results from retirement at or after age 65 as contemplated by Section 5(d) of this
Agreement, within the period ending one (1) year after the latest date set forth under “Lapse of
Restrictions” above), shall engage in any Detrimental Activity, and the Committee shall so find,
forthwith upon notice of such finding, the Participant shall:
(a) | Forfeit to the Company any shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder then held by the Participant; | ||
(b) | Return to the Company, in exchange for payment by the Company of any cash amount actually paid therefor by the Participant (unless such payment is prohibited by law), all Common Shares that the Participant has not disposed of that were acquired pursuant to this Agreement within one (1) year prior to the date of the commencement of such Detrimental Activity; and | ||
(c) | With respect to any Common Shares so acquired that the Participant has disposed of, pay to the Company in cash the aggregate Market Value per Share of the Common Shares on the date of such acquisition. |
To the extent that such amounts are not paid to the Company, the Company may, to the extent
permitted by law, set off the amounts so payable to it against any amounts that may be owing from
time to time by the Company or a Subsidiary to the Participant, whether as wages or vacation pay or
in the form of any other benefit or for any other reason; provided, however, that,
except to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4), such offset shall not
apply to amounts that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
For purposes of this Section 8, Common Shares shall be deemed to be acquired pursuant to this
Agreement at such time as they are no longer subject to the applicable Period of Restriction and
become freely tradeable (subject to all restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company’s
certificate of incorporation or bylaws or by applicable federal or state securities laws).
9. Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or
beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this
5
Agreement is to be paid in case of the Participant’s death before the Participant receives all
of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant,
shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and shall be effective only when filed by the
Participant in writing with the Vice President Human Resources of the Company during the
Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the
Participant’s death shall be paid in accordance with the Participant’s will or the laws of descent
and distribution.
10. Continuation of Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any
right with respect to continuance of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall this
Agreement interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Subsidiary would otherwise have to
terminate the Participant’s employment or other service at any time.
11. Miscellaneous.

The Participant may elect, subject to the Plan, the approval of the Committee and any procedural rules adopted by the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold vested shares having an aggregate Market Value per Share on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the amount required to be withheld. | |||
