Exhibit 10.25

US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE

PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT

Grant Date:                    

 

 

Re:

Performance Unit Grant

I am pleased to inform you that KBR, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you Performance Units under the Company’s 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) as follows:

 

1.

Grant of Performance Units.

The number of Performance Units granted to you as a Performance Award under the Plan is             . Each Performance Unit shall have a target value of $1.00. The actual value, if any, of a Performance Unit at the end of the Performance Period will be determined based on the level of achievement during the Performance Period of the performance objectives set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is made a part hereof for all purposes.

 

2.

 

 

(a)

Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (b) and (d) below, you will vest in the Performance Units earned (if any) for the Performance Period only if you are an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on the date such earned Performance Units are paid, as provided in Paragraph 3 below.

 

 

(b)

Death, Disability or Retirement. Unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to Paragraph 13, if you cease to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary as a result of (i) your death, (ii) your permanent disability (disability being defined as being physically or mentally incapable of performing either your usual duties as an employee or any other duties as an employee that the Company reasonably makes available and such condition is likely to remain continuously and permanently, as determined by the Company or employing Subsidiary), or (iii) normal retirement on or after reaching age 65, a prorata portion of your Performance Units that become “earned”, if any, as provided in Exhibit A, will become vested. The “prorata portion” that becomes vested shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period in which you were an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period. If your termination for the above reasons is after the end of the Performance Period but before payment of the Performance Units earned, if any, for such Performance Period, you will be fully vested in any such earned Performance Units.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the EU Employment Equality Directive (Directive 2000/78/EC) has been implemented in your country of employment or residence or if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal

 

1

US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE

 

judgment and/or legal development in your jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable retirement treatment that applies to Performance Awards under the Plan being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the provision above regarding termination of employment related to normal retirement on or after age sixty-five shall not be applicable to you.

 

 

(c)

Other Terminations. If you terminate from the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason other than as provided in subparagraph (b) above, all unvested Performance Units held by you shall be forfeited without payment immediately upon such termination.

 

 

(d)

Corporate Change. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, unless otherwise provided in an agreement pursuant to Paragraph 13, your Performance Units shall become fully vested at the maximum earned percentage provided in Exhibit A upon the occurrence of a Corporate Change during the Performance Period. If a Corporate Change occurs after the end of the Performance Period and prior to payment of the earned Performance Units, you will be 100% vested in your earned Performance Units upon the Corporate Change and payment will be made in accordance with the results achieved for the Performance Period ended as provided in Exhibit A.

For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company includes employment with a Subsidiary.

 

3.

Payment of Vested Performance Units. As soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Performance Period, but no later than the March 15th following the end of the Performance Period, or with respect to a Corporate Change occurring prior to the end of the Performance Period, the date of the Corporate Change, you shall be entitled to receive from the Company a payment in cash equal to the product of the Payout Percentage (as defined in Exhibit A) and the sum of the target values of your vested Performance Units. Except as provided in Exhibit A with respect to a Corporate Change, if the performance thresholds set forth in Exhibit A are not met, no payment shall be made with respect to the Performance Units, whether or not vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the amount paid to you by the Company in any year with respect to Performance Units earned hereunder exceed the applicable limit under Article V of the Plan.

 

4.

Recovery of Payment of Vested Performance Units. If you are a senior executive of the Company (defined as an employee of the Company or any employing Subsidiary of the Company who is either the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”) or a direct report to the CEO) and the extent to which the performance measurements were achieved during any calendar year of the Performance Period changes because of any restatement of the Company’s financial results for the same calendar year, and the value of the Performance Units earned at the end of the Performance Period is determined to be an overpayment based on such calendar year’s restated financial results, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, seek recovery of the

 

2

US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE

 

 

amount of the Performance Award determined to be an overpayment or hold the overpayment as debit against future Performance Awards for up to a two-year period following the end of the Performance Period.

 

5.

Limitations Upon Transfer. All rights under this Agreement shall belong to you and may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a “qualified domestic relations order” (as defined by the Code), and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of such rights contrary to the provisions in this Agreement or the Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon such rights, such rights shall immediately become null and void.

 

6.

Withholding of Tax. Regardless of any action the Company or your employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) do not make representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Units including the grant, vesting or payout of the Performance Units; and (2) do not commit to the structure of the terms of the Performance Units or any aspect of the Performance Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that the Company and/or Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or your Employer or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or your Employer, or (b) withholding from the payout of the Performance Units.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. Finally, you shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the cash settlement or any other form of pay-out for the Performance Units, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Nature of Grant. In accepting the Performance Units, you acknowledge, understand and agree that: (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) the grant of the Performance Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Performance Units, or benefits in lieu of Performance Units, even if Performance Units have been granted repeatedly in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future Performance Units, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with your Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of your Employer to terminate your employment at any time; (e) you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; (f) the grant of the Performance Units is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or your Employer, and which is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any; (g) the Performance Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (h) the Performance Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; (i) the Performance Units and your participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; (j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the forfeiture of the Performance Units resulting from termination of your active employment with the Company or your Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract or local labor laws) and in consideration of the grant of the Performance Units to which you are otherwise not entitled, you irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against the Company or your Employer or any Subsidiary, waive your ability, if any, to bring such claim, and release the Company and your Employer and all Subsidiaries from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; (k) in the event of involuntary termination of your active employment (whether or not in breach of contract or local labor laws), your right to vest in the Performance Units, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law), except as expressly provided herein, and that the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively employed for purposes of the Performance Units; (l) the Performance Units and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability; and (m) if you are requested to make repayment under Paragraph 4, you will make repayment immediately.

EXHIBIT A

To Performance Award Agreement

Performance Goals

Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the provisions of this Exhibit A shall determine the extent, if any, that the Performance Units become “earned” and payable.

 

I.

Performance Period

The Performance Period shall be the period beginning January 1, 2010, and ending December 31, 2012.

 

II.

Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)

The payment of a Performance Unit will be determined, in part, based on the comparison of (i) the average of the TSRs (as defined below) of the Company’s common stock measured at the end of each calendar quarter during the Performance Period, with each quarter’s TSR indexed back to the beginning of the Performance Period on January 1, 2010 to (ii) the average of the TSRs of each of the common stocks of the members of the Peer Group measured at the end of each calendar quarter during the Performance Period, with each quarter’s TSR indexed back to the beginning of the Performance Period on January 1, 2010.

“TSR” or “Total Shareholder Return” shall mean, with respect to a calendar quarter, the change in the price of a share of common stock from the beginning of the Performance Period (as measured by the closing price of a share of such stock on the last trading day preceding the beginning of the Performance Period) until the end of the applicable calendar quarter to be measured during the Performance Period (as measured by the closing price of a share of such stock on the last trading day of the calendar quarter), adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends (if any) through the purchase of common stock at the closing price on the corresponding dividend payment date and rounded to the first decimal place. Dividends per share paid other than in the form of cash shall have a value equal to the amount of such dividends reported by the issuer to its shareholders for purposes of Federal income taxation.

 

 

A.

Average TSR

The average TSR for a company for the Performance Period shall be the sum of the TSRs of the company measured at the end of each calendar quarter during the Performance Period, divided by 12. The average TSR for a company during the Performance Period shall be calculated based on the following formula:

B.

Peer Group and Payout

Once the average TSR for the Company during the Performance Period is calculated, the average TSR for each company in the Peer Group shall be calculated.

The Peer Group shall consist of the following companies (including KBR, Inc.):

 

Chicago Bridge & Iron Co, NV

   

URS Group

   

Fluor Corp.

   

Chiyoda Corp.

   

Foster Wheeler Ltd.

   

Saipem Spa

   

Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.

   

JGC Corp.

   

Shaw Group Inc.

   

Technip

   

Dyncorp International, Inc.

      

No company shall be added to, or removed from, the Peer Group during the Performance Period, except that a company shall be removed from the Peer Group if during such period (i) such company ceases to maintain publicly available statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, (ii) such company is not the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation, or other reorganization (or survives only as a subsidiary of an entity other than a previously wholly owned entity of such company), or (iii) such company sells, leases, or exchanges all or substantially all of its assets to any other person or entity (other than a previously wholly owned entity of such company).

If one or more Peer Group companies are removed from the Peer Group, then the percentiles and payouts will adjust for the change in “n” of the formula provided below. After the average TSR is determined for the Company and each company in the Peer Group, the Company’s average TSR rank among the average TSRs for the Peer Group for the Performance Period and the Company’s applicable TSR payout percentage shall be determined by the following formula:

III.

Return on Capital (“ROC”)

ROC shall be the weighted average of the Company’s net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders plus (interest expense x (1-effective tax rate)), divided by average monthly capital from continuing operations, with monthly capital from continuing operations equal to average monthly total assets less (average monthly non-interest bearing liabilities plus average monthly non-controlling interest), as used to calculate the Company’s audited reported financials for the years 2010, 2011, and 2012 with each year weighted 33 1/3% and rounded to the first decimal place.

For results (the “Performance Percentages”) between Threshold and Target and Target and Maximum in Column B, the Performance Percentage earned shall be determined by linear interpolation between the two applicable standards based on the results achieved for the respective performance measures.

The “target” value of a Performance Unit is $1.00; its maximum value is $2.00 per unit if the maximum performance objectives for both performance measures of Column B are achieved and the Performance Unit value will be zero if neither of the threshold performance objectives for the performance measures is achieved. The value of an “earned” Performance Unit shall be determined by multiplying its “target” value of $1.00 by the Payout Percentage for the Performance Period. The “Payout Percentage” for a Performance Unit shall be determined by separately multiplying Column A by the Column B Performance Percentage results for the two Performance Measures and then adding those two results.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining the Payout Percentage for payment upon a Corporate Change occurring prior to the end of the Performance Period,

 

A-4

US/INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE (EXHIBIT A)

 

the Column B results for both performance measures shall be deemed to have been met at the maximum level (200%).

 

V.

Adjustments to Performance Measurements for Significant Events

If, after the beginning of the Performance Period, there is a change in accounting standards required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the performance results shall be adjusted by the Company’s independent accountants as appropriate to disregard such change. In addition, the results of the Company or a peer group company shall be adjusted to reflect any stock splits or other events described in Article XIII of the Plan, but only if such adjustment would not cause the performance goal to no longer satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

VI.

Committee Certification

As soon as reasonably practical following the end of the Performance Period, but in no event later than the March 15th following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall review and determine the performance results for the Performance Period and certify those results in writing. No Performance Units earned and vested shall be payable prior to the Committee’s certification; provided, however, Committee certification shall not apply in the event of a Corporate Change.

Terms and Conditions of Performance Unit Grant

SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF PERFORMANCE UNITS

IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES

This Exhibit B includes additional country-specific terms that apply to residents in countries listed below. This Exhibit B is part of the Agreement. Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement.

This Exhibit B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2010. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time your Performance Units vest or your Performance Units are settled under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.

Withholding of Taxes.

Notwithstanding Paragraph 5 of the Agreement, you agree that if you do not pay or the Employer or the Company does not withhold from you the full amount of Tax-Related Items that you owe due to the vesting/settlement of the Performance Units, or the release or assignment of the Performance Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Performance Units (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. You agree that the loan will bear interest at Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by you, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to you by the Employer, or from the cash payment from the settlement of the Performance Units or by demanding cash or a cheque from you. You also authorize the Company to delay the issuance of any cash settlement to you unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are an officer or executive director and the amount necessary to satisfy the Tax-Related Items is not collected from or paid by you within 90 days of the Taxable Event, any uncollected amounts of Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Paragraph 5 of the Agreement. You understand that you will be responsible for reporting any income and national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit directly to the HMRC under the self-assessment regime.
