EXHIBIT A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT GRANT
1.Grant. The Company grants the Participant a Performance Stock Unit Grant as described on the Notice of Grant. If there is a conflict between the Plan, Agreement, or any other agreement with Participant governing such Award, the forgoing document will take precedence in the following order: (a) the Plan, (b) the Agreement, and (c) any other agreement the Participant governing this Award.
2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Performance Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share on the date it vests. Unless and until the Performance Stock Units have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4, Participant will have no right to payment of any such Performance Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Performance Stock Units, the Performance Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any Performance Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any obligations for Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 7). Subject to the provisions of Section 4 and Section 7, vested Performance Stock Units will be paid in whole Shares as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period 60 days following the vesting date. In no event will Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any Performance Stock Units payable under this Agreement.
3. Vesting Schedule. The Performance Stock Units will only vest under the Vesting Schedule on the Notice of Grant or as set out in Section 4 of this Agreement. Performance Stock Units scheduled to vest on a date or upon the occurrence of a condition will not vest Participant unless Participant continues to be a Service Provider beginning on the Grant Date through the date that the vesting is scheduled to occur. The Administrator may modify the vesting schedule under Section 11 of the Plan if Participant takes a leave of absence or has a reduction in hours worked.
4. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of any portion of the Performance Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. In that case, the Performance Stock Units will be vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. The payment of Shares vesting pursuant to this Section 4 will be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A.
5. Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider. Any Performance Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider will cease vesting and will revert to the Plan on the 30th day following the Termination of Status Date. The date of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider is detailed in Section 3(d) of the Plan.
6. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate or, if the Administrator permits, Participant’s designated beneficiary. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.
7. Tax Obligations.
(a) Tax Withholding.
(i) No Shares will be issued to Participant until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) have been made by Participant for the payment of income, employment, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) that the Administrator determines must be withheld. If Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any Tax-Related Items
hereunder at the time any applicable Performance Stock Units otherwise are scheduled to vest pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 or Tax-Related Items related to Performance Stock Units otherwise are due, Participant will permanently forfeit such Performance Stock Units and any right to receive Shares thereunder and the Performance Stock Units will be returned to the Company at no cost to the Company.
(ii) Participant may elect to personally satisfy any Tax-Related Items, provided that Participant (or Participant’s beneficiary or estate, if applicable) must give written notice to the Company of such election on or prior to each vesting date. If no such election has been made timely, the Company will satisfy any Tax-Related Items by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant.
(iii) Further, if Participant is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, the Company and/or Participant’s Employer (the “Employer”), or former employer may withhold or account for tax in greater than one jurisdiction.
(b) Code Section 409A.
(i) If the vesting of any portion of the Performance Stock Units is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A) and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated Performance Stock Units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the 6-month period following Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated Performance Stock Units will not be made until the first day after the end of the 6-month period.
(ii) If the termination as a Service Provider is due to death, the delay under Section 7(b)(i) will not apply. If Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, the delay under Section 7(b)(i) will be disregarded and the Performance Stock Units will be paid in Shares to Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death.
(iii) All payments and benefits under this Performance Stock Unit Grant are intended to be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Performance Stock Units or Shares issuable upon the vesting of Performance Stock Units will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A the Company and Participant intend that any ambiguities be interpreted so that the Performance Stock Units are exempt from or comply with Section 409A.
(iv) Each payment under these Performance Stock Units is intended to be a separate payment as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).
8. Forfeiture or Clawback.
