          7.5 Forfeiture of Severance Benefits. The right of Executive to receive or to retain Severance Benefits pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 shall be subject to Executive’s continued compliance with the Covenants (as defined in Section 12). In the event that Executive breaches any of the Covenants, the Company shall have the right to (a) terminate any further provision of Severance Benefits not yet paid or provided, (b) seek reimbursement from Executive for any and all such Severance Benefits previously paid or provided to Executive, (c) recover from Executive all shares of stock of the Company the vesting of which was accelerated by reason of the Severance Benefits (or the proceeds therefrom, reduced by any exercise or purchase price paid to acquire such shares), and (d) to immediately cancel all Equity Awards the vesting of which was accelerated by reason of the Severance Benefits.
     8. No Conflict of Interest. During the term of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive must not engage in any work, paid or unpaid, that creates an actual or potential conflict of interest with Company. If the Board reasonably believes such a conflict exists during the term of this Agreement, the Board may ask Executive to choose to discontinue the other work or resign employment with Company.
     9. Post-Termination Non-Competition.
          9.1 Consideration For Promise To Refrain From Competing. Executive agrees that Executive’s services are special and unique, that Company’s disclosure of confidential, proprietary information and specialized training and knowledge to Executive, and that Executive’s level of compensation and benefits are partly in consideration of and conditioned upon Executive not competing with Company. Executive acknowledges that such consideration is adequate for Executive’s promises contained within this Section 9.
          9.2 Promise To Refrain From Competing. Executive understands Company’s need for Executive’s promise not to compete with Company is based on the following: (a) Company has expended, and will continue to expend, substantial time, money and effort in developing its proprietary information; (b) Executive will in the course of Executive’s employment develop, be personally entrusted with and exposed to Company’s proprietary information; (c) both during and after the term of Executive’s employment, Company will be engaged in the highly competitive retail demand chain software industry; (d) Company provides products and services nationally and internationally; and (e) Company will suffer great loss and irreparable harm if Executive were to enter into competition with Company. Therefore, in exchange for the consideration described in Section 9.1 above, Executive agrees that for the period of nine (9) months following the date Executive ceases to render services to Company (the “Covenant Period”), Executive will not either directly or indirectly, whether as an owner, director, officer, manager,

-5-


 

consultant, agent or employee: (i) work for a competitor of Company, which is defined to include those entities or persons in the business of developing, marketing, selling and supporting software specifically designed for businesses in the retail and consumer packaged goods markets in any country in which Company does business (the “Restricted Business”) or (ii) make or hold during the Covenant Period any investment in any Restricted Business, whether such investment be by way of loan, purchase of stock or otherwise, provided that there shall be excluded from the foregoing the ownership of not more than 1% of the listed or traded stock of any publicly held corporation. For purposes of this Section 9, the term “Company” shall mean and include Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of Company, any successor to the business of Company (by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or stock or otherwise) and any other corporation or entity of which Executive may serve as a director, officer or employee at the request of Company or any successor of Company. For the avoidance of doubt, Restricted Business shall not include a company that develops, markets, sells or supports software that applies to a variety of vertical markets (“Cross Vertical Solutions”) where the company may have customized its Cross Vertical Solutions for the retail and consumer packaged goods markets, but does not have software that is primarily targeted to the retail and consumer packaged goods markets.
          9.3 Reasonableness of Restrictions. Executive represents and agrees that the restrictions on competition, as to time, geographic area, and scope of activity, required by this Section 9 are reasonable, do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and business interests of Company, and are not unduly burdensome to Executive. Executive expressly acknowledges that Company competes on an international basis and that the geographical scope of these limitations is reasonable and necessary for the protection of Company’s trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information. Executive further agrees that these restrictions allow Executive an adequate number and variety of employment alternatives, based on Executive’s varied skills and abilities. Executive represents that Executive is willing and able to compete in other employment not prohibited by this Agreement.
          9.4 Reformation if Necessary. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the geographic area, duration, or scope of activity of any restriction under this Section 9 and its subsections is unenforceable, the restrictions under this section and its subsections shall not be terminated but shall be reformed and modified to the extent required to render them valid and enforceable. Executive further agrees that the court may reform this Agreement to extend the Covenant Period by an amount of time equal to any period in which Executive is in breach of this covenant.
     10. Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights. Executive agrees to read, sign and abide by Company’s Employee Innovations and Proprietary Rights Assignment Agreement, which was previously executed by Executive and incorporated herein by reference.
     11. Nonsolicitation.
          11.1 Nonsolicitation of Customers or Prospects. Executive acknowledges that information about Company’s customers is confidential and constitutes trade secrets. Accordingly, Executive agrees that during the term of this Agreement and the Covenant Period, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, separately or in association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage Company’s relationship with any of its customers or customer prospects (defined as prospective customers who had received a written proposal from the Company for Company products or services within the past 12 months) by soliciting or encouraging others to solicit any of them for the purpose of diverting or taking away business from Company.
          11.2 Nonsolicitation of Company’s Employees. Executive agrees that during the term of this Agreement and the Covenant Period, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, separately or

-6-


 

in association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage Company’s business by soliciting, encouraging, hiring or attempting to hire any of Company’s employees or causing others to solicit or encourage any of Company’s employees to discontinue their employment with Company.
     12. Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s breach of the covenants contained in Sections 9-11 (collectively “Covenants”) would cause irreparable injury to Company and agrees that in the event of any such breach, Company shall, in addition to the action it is authorized to take pursuant to Section 7.6, be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security.
     13. Agreement to Arbitrate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Executive and Company agree to arbitrate any controversy, claim or dispute between them arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, the employment relationship between Company and Executive and any disputes upon termination of employment, including but not limited to breach of contract, tort, discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, demotion, discipline, failure to accommodate, family and medical leave, compensation or benefits claims, constitutional claims; and any claims for violation of any local, state or federal law, statute, regulation or ordinance or common law. Claims for breach of Company’s Employee Innovations and Proprietary Rights Agreement, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance benefits and Company’s right to obtain injunctive relief pursuant to Section 12 above are excluded. For the purpose of this agreement to arbitrate, references to “Company” include all parent, subsidiary or related entities and their employees, supervisors, officers, directors, agents, pension or benefit plans, pension or benefit plan sponsors, fiduciaries, administrators, affiliates and all successors and assigns of any of them, and this Agreement shall apply to them to the extent Executive’s claims arise out of or relate to their actions on behalf of Company.
          13.1 Initiation of Arbitration. Either party may exercise the right to arbitrate by providing the other party with written notice of any and all claims forming the basis of such right in sufficient detail to inform the other party of the substance of such claims. In no event shall the request for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claims would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
          13.2 Arbitration Procedure. The arbitration will be conducted in Maricopa County, Arizona, by a single neutral arbitrator and in accordance with the then current rules for resolution of employment disputes of the American Arbitration Association (AAA”). The parties are entitled to representation by an attorney or other representative of their choosing. The arbitrator shall have the power to enter any award that could be entered by a judge of the trial court of the State of Arizona, and only such power, and shall follow the law. The parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
          13.3 Costs of Arbitration. Each party shall bear one half the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, and the cost of the arbitrator.
     14. Mandatory Reduction of Payments in Certain Events.
          14.1 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, prior to the making of any Payment to Executive, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net benefit to Executive of the Payment after payment of the Excise Tax, to (ii) the net benefit to Executive if the Payment had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being

-7-


 

subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payment shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). The reduction of the Payments due hereunder, if applicable, shall be made in such a manner as to maximize the economic present value of all Payments actually made to Executive, determined by the Determination Firm as defined in Section 14.2 below.
          14.2 The determination of whether an Excise Tax would be imposed, the amount of such Excise Tax, and the calculation of the amounts referred to Section 14.1(i) and (ii) above shall be made by an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm or compensation consulting firm mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations. Any determination by the Determination Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive.
          14.3 In the event that the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G and 4999 or any successor provisions are repealed without succession, this Section 14 shall be of no further force or effect.

                    (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than (1) a trustee or other fiduciary holding stock of the Company under an employee benefit plan of a Participating Company or (2) a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the stock of the Company, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of stock of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding voting stock; or
                    (ii) an Ownership Change Event or series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, a Transaction) in which the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do not retain immediately after the Transaction direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or, in the case of an Ownership Change Event described in Section 1.1(h)(iii), the entity to which the assets of the Company were transferred (the Transferee), as the case may be; or
                    (iii) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting securities of one or more

 


 

corporations or other business entities which own the Company or the Transferee, as the case may be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations or other business entities. The Committee shall have the right to determine whether multiple sales or exchanges of the voting securities of the Company or multiple Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
               (b) Codemeans the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.
               (c) Committeemeans the Compensation Committee or other committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) duly appointed to administer the Award and having such powers as shall be specified by the Board.

                    (i) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, if, on such date, the Stock is listed on a national or regional securities exchange or market system, the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock shall be the closing price of a share of Stock (or the mean of the closing bid and asked prices of a share of Stock if the Stock is so quoted instead) as quoted on the national or regional securities exchange or market system constituting the primary market for the Stock, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Company deems reliable. If the relevant date does not fall on a day on which the Stock has traded on such securities exchange or market system, the date on which the Fair Market Value shall be established shall be the last day on which the Stock was so traded prior to the relevant date, or such other appropriate day as shall be determined by the Committee, in its discretion.
                    (ii) If, on such date, the Stock is not listed on a national or regional securities exchange or market system, the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock shall be as determined by the Committee in good faith without regard to any restriction other than a restriction which, by its terms, will never lapse, and in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Furthermore, the Participant’s Service shall not be deemed to have terminated if the Participant takes any military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise designated by the Company or required by law, a leave of absence shall not be treated as Service for purposes of determining vesting under the Award. The Participant’s Service shall be deemed to have terminated either upon an actual termination of Service or upon the entity for which the Participant performs Service ceasing to be a Participating Company. Subject to the foregoing, the Company, in its discretion, shall determine whether the Participant’s Service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.
               (l) Stockmeans the common stock of the Company, as adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 9.

          1.2 Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
     2. Administration.

3


 

or election which is the responsibility of or which is allocated to the Company herein, provided the officer has apparent authority with respect to such matter, right, obligation, or election.
     3. The Award.
          3.1 Grant of Restricted Stock Units. On the Date of Grant, the Participant shall acquire, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.3 and Section 9. Each Unit represents a right to receive on a date determined in accordance with the Grant Notice and this Agreement one (1) share of Stock.
          3.2 No Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Units or shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units, the consideration for which shall be past services actually rendered and/or future services to be rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Units.
          3.3 Dividend Equivalent Units. On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a) the product of (i) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii) the total number of Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited to the Participant pursuant to the Award and which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined below) as of such date, by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Any resulting fractional Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Such additional Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
     4. Vesting of Units.
          4.1 Normal Vesting. Except as provided in Section 4.2, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest and become Vested Units as provided in the Grant Notice. Dividend Equivalent Units shall become Vested Units at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
          4.2 Acceleration of Vesting Upon a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiror”), may either assume the Company’s rights and obligations with respect to outstanding Units or substitute for outstanding Units substantially equivalent rights with respect to the Acquiror’s stock. For purposes of this Section 4.2, a Unit shall be deemed assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Unit confers the right to receive, for each share of Stock subject to the Unit immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration

4


 

(whether stock, cash, other securities or property or a combination thereof) to which a holder of a share of Stock on the effective date of the Change in Control was entitled. In the event the Acquiror elects not to assume or substitute for the outstanding Units in connection with a Change in Control, the vesting of the Units shall be accelerated in full and the total number of Units subject to the Award shall be deemed Vested Units effective as of the date of the Change in Control, provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated prior to such date. The vesting Units that was permissible solely by reason of this Section 4.2 shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its discretion, determine that upon a Change in Control, each Vested Unit (and each unvested Unit if so determined by the Board) outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control shall be canceled in exchange for payment with respect to each Unit upon its cancellation in (a) cash, (b) stock of the Company or the Acquiror or (c) other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control (subject to any required tax withholding).
          4.3 Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code.
               (a) Excess Parachute Payment. In the event that any acceleration of vesting pursuant to this Agreement and any other payment or benefit received or to be received by the Participant would subject the Participant to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code due to the characterization of such acceleration of vesting, payment or benefit as an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, the Participant may elect, in his or her sole discretion, to reduce the amount of any acceleration of vesting called for under this Agreement in order to avoid such characterization.
               (b) Determination by Independent Accountants. To aid the Participant in making any election called for under Section 4.3(a), in connection with any event that might reasonably be anticipated to give rise to the acceleration of vesting under Section 4.3(a), the Company shall promptly request a determination in writing by independent public accountants selected by the Company (the Accountants). Unless the Company and the Participant otherwise agree in writing, the Accountants shall determine and report to the Company and the Participant the amount of such acceleration of vesting, payments and benefits which would produce the greatest after-tax benefit to the Participant. For the purposes of such determination, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Participant shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make their required determination. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses the Accountants may reasonably charge in connection with their services contemplated by this section.
     5. Company Reacquisition Right.
          5.1 Grant of Company Reacquisition Right. In the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, the Participant shall forfeit and the Company shall automatically reacquire all Units which are not, as of the time of such termination, Vested Units, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the

5


 

Company Reacquisition Right), subject to the provisions of any employment, service or other agreement between the Participant and a Participating Company referring to this Award.
          5.2 Ownership Change Event. For purposes of determining the number of Vested Units following an Ownership Change Event, credited Service shall include all Service with any corporation which is a Participating Company at the time the Service is rendered, whether or not such corporation is a Participating Company both before and after the Ownership Change Event.
     6. Settlement of the Award.
          6.1 Issuance of Shares of Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the Company shall issue to the Participant, on the Settlement Date with respect to each Unit to be settled on such date, one (1) share of Stock. Shares of Stock issued in settlement of Units shall not be subject to any restriction on transfer other than any such restriction as may be required pursuant to Section 6.3.
          6.2 Beneficial Ownership of Shares; Certificate Registration. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole discretion, to deposit for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship of which the Company has notice any or all shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Award. Except as provided by the preceding sentence, a certificate for the shares as to which the Award is settled shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.
          6.3 Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
          6.4 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the settlement of the Award.
     7. Tax Withholding.
          7.1 In General. At the time the Grant Notice is executed, or at any time thereafter as requested by a Participating Company, the Participant hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant, and otherwise agrees

6


 

to make adequate provision for, any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company, if any, which arise in connection with the Award or the issuance of shares of Stock in settlement thereof. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock until the tax withholding obligations of the Company have been satisfied by the Participant.
          7.2 Withholding in Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the Company shall satisfy the tax withholding obligations (except with respect to any fractional share) of the Company or any other Participating Company by deducting from the shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to the Participant in settlement of the Award a number of whole shares of Stock having a fair market value, as determined by the Company as of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the amount of such tax withholding obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. The Company is authorized to satisfy the tax withholding obligations, if any, remaining following the procedure described in this Section 7.2 by withholding from payroll or any other amounts payable to the Participant.
     8. Effect of Change in Control on Award.
          In the event of a Change in Control, if the Company’s rights and obligations with respect to outstanding Units are not assumed or substituted for by the Acquiror pursuant to Section 4.2 herein, the Award shall be settled in accordance with Section 6 as provided by Section 4.2.
     9. Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure.
          Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (excepting normal cash dividends) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number of Units subject to the Award and/or the number and kind of shares to be issued in settlement of the Award, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participant’s rights under the Award. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.” Any fractional Unit or share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall be determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
     10. Rights as a Stockholder, Director, Employee or Consultant.
          The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares which may be issued in settlement of this Award until the date of the issuance of a certificate for such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly

7


 

authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 3.3 and Section 9. If the Participant is an employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Participant, the Participant’s employment is “at will” and is for no specified term. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time.
     11. Legends.
          The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Award in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this section.
     12. Compliance with Section 409A.
          It is intended that any election, payment or benefit which is made or provided pursuant to or in connection with this Award that may result in a deferral of compensation as described in Section 409A of the Code (Section 409A Deferred Compensation) shall comply in all respects with the applicable requirements of Section 409A (including applicable regulations or other administrative guidance thereunder, as determined by the Committee in good faith) to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. In connection with effecting such compliance with Section 409A, the following shall apply:
          12.1 Required Delay in Payment to Specified Employee. If the Participant is a “specified employee” of a publicly traded corporation as defined under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, unless subject to an applicable exception under Section 409A, any payment of Section 409A Deferred Compensation in connection with a “separation from service” (as determined for purposes of Section 409A) shall not be made until six (6) months after the Participant’s separation from service (the “Section 409A Deferral Period”). In the event such payments are otherwise due to be made in installments or periodically during the Section 409A Deferral Period, the payments of Section 409A Deferred Compensation which would otherwise have been made in the Section 409A Deferral Period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum as soon as the Section 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the payments shall be made as otherwise scheduled.
          12.2 Other Delays in Payment. Neither the Participant nor the Company shall take any action to accelerate or delay the payment of any benefits under this Agreement in any manner which would not be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
          12.3 Amendments to Comply with Section 409A; Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company is authorized to amend this Agreement, to void or amend any election made by the Participant

8


 

under this Agreement and/or to delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in such manner as may be determined by the Company, in its discretion, to be necessary or appropriate to comply with Section 409A of the Code without prior notice to or consent of the Participant. The Participant hereby releases and holds harmless the Company, its directors, officers and stockholders from any and all claims that may arise from or relate to any tax liability, penalties, interest, costs, fees or other liability incurred by the Participant in connection with the Award, including as a result of the application of Section 409A of the Code.
     13. Miscellaneous Provisions.
          13.1 Termination or Amendment. The Committee may terminate or amend this Agreement at any time; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Participant unless such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law or government regulation or as provided in Section 12.3. No amendment or addition to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.
          13.2 Nontransferability of the Award. Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock on the applicable Settlement Date, neither this Award nor any Units subject to this Award shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to the Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.
          13.3 Further Instruments. The parties hereto agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

          13.5 Delivery of Documents and Notices. Any document relating to the Award or any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (except to the extent that this Agreement provides for effectiveness only upon actual receipt of such notice) upon personal delivery, electronic delivery at the e-mail address, if any, provided for the Participant by a Participating Company, or upon deposit in the U.S. Post Office or foreign postal service, by registered or certified mail, or with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party at the address shown below that party’s signature to the Grant Notice or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.

Such means of electronic delivery may include but do not necessarily include the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the Internet site of a third party involved in administering the Award, the delivery of the document via e-mail or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company.
               (b) Consent to Electronic Delivery.

     3. The Award.

On the Grant Date, the Participant shall acquire, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, a right to receive a number of Performance Shares which shall not exceed the Maximum Number of Performance Shares set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9. The number of Performance Shares, if any, ultimately earned by the Participant, shall be that number of Performance Shares which become Vested Performance Shares.
          3.2 No Monetary Payment Required. The Participant is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) as a condition to receiving the Performance Shares or the Common Shares issued upon settlement of the Performance Shares, the consideration for which shall be past services actually rendered and/or future services to be rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to the a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the Common Shares issued upon settlement of the Performance Shares.

4


 

following such approval, the Committee shall determine in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Grant Notice the resulting number of Performance Shares which shall become Vested Performance Shares on the Initial Vesting Date and the number of Performance Shares subject to time-based vesting, subject to the Participant’s continued Service through the vesting period, except as otherwise provided by Section 5. The Company shall promptly notify the Participant of the determination by the Committee.
          4.2 Adjustment to EBITDA for Extraordinary Items.

5


 

Shares as to which the Award is settled shall be registered in the name of the Participant, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Participant.
          6.3 Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Common Shares. The grant of the Award and issuance of Common Shares upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state law or foreign law with respect to such securities. No Common Shares may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Common Shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
          6.4 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the settlement of the Award. Any fractional share resulting from the determination of the number of Vested Performance Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
     7. Tax Withholding.
          7.1 In General. At the time the Grant Notice is executed, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Participant hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for, any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company, if any, which arise in connection with the Award or the issuance of Common Shares in settlement thereof. The Company shall have no obligation to process the settlement of the Award or to deliver Common Shares until the tax withholding obligations as described in this Section have been satisfied by the Participant.
          7.2 Withholding in Common Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the Company shall satisfy the tax withholding obligations (except with respect to any fractional share) of the Company or any other Participating Company by deducting from the Common Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant in settlement of the Award a number of whole Common Shares having a fair market value, as determined by the Company as of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the amount of such tax withholding obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. The Company is authorized to satisfy the tax withholding obligations, if any, remaining following the procedure described in this Section 7.2 by withholding from payroll or any other amounts payable to the Participant.

     8. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
          8.1 Effect of Change in Control on Performance Shares. In the event of a Change in Control prior to the Initial Vesting Date and provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated prior to the consummation of the Change in Control (except as otherwise provided below), 100% of the Target Number of Performance Shares shall become Vested Performance Shares and shall be settled in accordance with Section 6 immediately prior to (and contingent upon) the consummation of the Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control on or after the Initial Vesting Date and provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated prior to the consummation of the Change in Control (except as otherwise provided below), then, in addition to the number of Performance Shares which became Vested Performance Shares on the Initial Vesting Date, as provided in the Grant Notice and as determined by the Committee, 100% of the Performance Shares subject to time based vesting, as provided in the Grant Notice and as determined by the Committee, shall become Vested Performance Shares and shall be settled in accordance with Section 6 immediately prior to (and contingent upon) the consummation of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Grant Notice to the contrary, for purposes of the acceleration of vesting of the Performance Shares provided by this Section, termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company within a period of four (4) months prior to the consummation of the Change in Control either as a result of involuntary termination by the Company without Cause, as described in Section 7.2 of the Employment Agreement, or as a result of termination by the Participant for Good Reason, as described in Section 7.3 of the Employment Agreement, shall not be treated as termination of the Participant’s Service prior to the consummation of the Change in Control.
          8.2 Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code.
               (a) Excess Parachute Payment. In the event that any acceleration of vesting the Performance Shares and any other payment or benefit received or to be received by the Participant would subject the Participant to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code due to the characterization of such acceleration of vesting, payment or benefit as an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the Participant may elect, in his or her sole discretion, to reduce the amount of any acceleration of vesting called for by this Agreement in order to avoid such characterization.
               (b) Determination by Independent Accountants. To aid the Participant in making any election called for under Section 8.2(a), in connection with any event that might reasonably be anticipated to give rise to the acceleration of vesting under Section 8.1, the Company shall promptly request a determination in writing by independent public accountants selected by the Company (the Accountants). Unless the Company and the Participant otherwise agree in writing, the Accountants shall determine and report to the Company and the Participant the amount of such acceleration of vesting, payments and benefits which would produce the greatest after-tax benefit to the Participant. For the purposes of such determination, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Participant shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make their required determination. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses the

7


 

Accountants may reasonably charge in connection with their services contemplated by this Section 8.2(b).
     9. Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure.
          Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (excepting normal cash dividends) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number of Performance Shares and/or the number and kind of shares to be issued in settlement of the Award, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participant’s rights under the Award. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.” Any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such adjustments shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
     10. Rights as a Stockholder or Employee.
          The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares which may be issued in settlement of this Award until the date of the issuance of a certificate for such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as provided in Sections 3.3 and 9. If the Participant is an employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Participant, the Participant’s employment is “at will” and is for no specified term. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in Service interfere in any way with any right of any Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time.
     11. Legends.
          The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing Common Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to this Award in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.
     12. Compliance with Section 409A.
          It is intended that any election, payment or benefit which is made or provided pursuant to or in connection with this Award that may result in Section 409A Deferred Compensation shall comply in all respects with the applicable requirements of Section 409A

8


 

(including applicable regulations or other administrative guidance thereunder, as determined by the Committee in good faith) to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. In connection with effecting such compliance with Section 409A, the following shall apply:
