TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD
1. | General Provisions. |
The Company intends that the payment and settlement of the RSUs shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) to the extent the RSUs constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
2. | Payment. |
Each RSU represents the right of the Participant to receive, following each Vesting Date, one share of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), subject to the vesting and other terms and conditions hereof.
Subject to Section 8, in connection with the vesting of the RSU, the Company will issue to the Participant one share of Common Stock plus any accumulated dividend equivalents credited to the RSU within 30 days following each Vesting Date, and such vested RSU will thereupon terminate on each such applicable Vesting Date.
The Company shall deliver the shares through book entry transfer to an account in the Participant’s name at a financial institution that is selected by the Company and approved by the Participant. Share certificates representing distributed shares shall not be issued by the Company until such shares have been delivered to the Participant’s account as specified above. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall not pay the expenses related to any sale of shares received in connection with the vesting of any RSUs, regardless of whether such sale is made to satisfy expenses, withholding, or other taxes.
3. | Dividend Equivalents. |
The Participant shall be credited with a cash amount equal to the ordinary cash dividends declared and paid on the corresponding number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on each applicable Vesting Date. Such cash amount shall be subject to the same time-vesting conditions as the RSUs and shall be paid to the Participant in cash (without interest) at the time that the shares of the Common Stock are delivered to the Participant in settlement of the RSU.
No dividend or dividend equivalents shall be paid in respect of any forfeited RSUs, even if such dividends or dividend equivalents are credited on the RSU on or prior to forfeiture.
4. | Effect of Termination of Service on Vesting. |
If the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, any then outstanding unvested RSUs shall be immediately forfeited as of the Participant’s date of termination.
5. | No Rights as a Stockholder. |
Until any RSU subject to this Award has vested and the applicable underlying shares have been issued to the Participant in accordance with Section 2, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to such RSUs or the underlying shares, including, without limitation, any right to vote the shares or, except as expressly set forth in Section 3 above, to receive any dividends on the underlying shares or distribution equivalents on such RSUs.
6. | Compliance with Law. |
This Award is subject to the condition that, if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock delivered with respect to RSUs subject to this Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent
or approval of any governmental body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the vesting of RSUs or delivery and settlement of the underlying shares hereunder, the RSUs or underlying shares of Common Stock may not be delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. The Company agrees to make reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.
7. | Non-Transferability of Award. |
This Award may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any such attempted sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance, or other disposition of this Award shall be null and void.
8. | Withholding. |
The Committee shall determine the amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any income recognized by the Participant with respect to the Award. The Participant shall be required to meet any applicable tax withholding obligation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.05 of the Plan. The Participant shall have the right to elect to meet any withholding requirement: (i) by having withheld from this Award at the appropriate time that number of whole shares of Common Stock whose fair market value is equal to the amount of any taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Award, (ii) by direct payment to the Company in cash of the amount of any taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Award or (iii) by a combination of shares of Common Stock and cash.
9. | Participant Representations. |
The Participant hereby represents to the Company that the Participant has read and fully understands the provisions of the Notice, these Terms and Conditions and the Plan, and the Participant’s decision to participate in the Plan is completely voluntary. Further, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant is relying solely on his own advisers with respect to the tax consequences of this Award.
