1. | Amount of Award. As of the Date of Grant, the Participant shall be eligible to receive an AIP Award in the amount of the AIP Target set forth on the first page of the AIP Award Agreement, as such amount may be adjusted as described in Section 5 below. |
2. | Eligibility for Award. A Participant’s eligibility for an AIP Award in one Plan Year does not guarantee eligibility of the Participant for another AIP Award in a subsequent Plan Year. |
3. | Payment of the Award. The AIP Award provides the Participant with an opportunity to receive a single AIP Award cash payout (the “AIP Award Payment”) if the Company and, to the extent determined by the Committee, business units and other units or subunits of the Company designated by the Committee, achieve one or more satisfactory levels of performance (each a “Metric Result”) in respect of one or more metrics (each a “Performance Metric”) as specified by the Committee, over a single fiscal year (each a “Plan Year”), as specified in the AIP Award Agreement. Any AIP Award Payment will be made in accordance with the attached AIP Award Agreement. All AIP Awards shall be paid in the applicable local currency. Except as provided in Section 9 below, and, with respect to Participants grade level 7 and above, Section 10 below, a Participant must remain Employed by the Company continuously from the Date of Grant of the AIP Award through the date the AIP Award Payment is made. Accordingly, there is no partial payout for AIP Awards, except as provided in Section9 below, and, with respect to Participants grade level 7 and above, Section 10 below. |
4. | Target Award Value. The attached AIP Award Agreement specifies the Participant’s AIP Award at a target level (the “AIP Target”). The AIP Target provides the Participant with an opportunity to receive an AIP Award Payment in an amount equal to the AIP Target. However, the actual AIP Award Payment may be more or less than the AIP Target, depending on the Metric Results as described in Section 5 below. |
a. | For purposes of calculating the AIP Award, a Participant’s annual base salary, effective as of April 1 of a Plan Year, shall be considered as if effective on January 1 of the Plan Year. In the event the Participant has one or more salary changes after April 1, the AIP Target |
b. | For purposes of calculating the AIP Award, a Participant’s Target Award Percentage, effective as of April 1 of the Plan Year, shall be considered as if effective on January 1 of the Plan Year. In the event of a promotion, transfer or adjustment that results in a change to a Participant’s Target Award Percentage after April 1 of a Plan Year, the AIP Target will be pro-rated based on the number of days in the Plan Year that the Participant remains at each Target Award Percentage. |
5. | Weight and Achievement of Metric Results. The Committee shall determine the Performance Metrics and weight to be applied to each Performance Metric in determining the AIP Target. Specific values for Threshold, Target and Maximum (each, as described below) levels of performance of the Metric Results shall be set at the beginning of each Plan Year by the Company when its budgets and other incentive targets are approved the Company’s Board of Directors. If 100% of the Metric Results are achieved (the “Target”), the AIP Award shall be equal to the AIP Target; if the “Threshold” amount of the Metric Results are achieved, the AIP Award shall be equal to 25% of the AIP Target; and if the “Maximum” amount of the Metric Results are achieved, the AIP Award shall be equal to 200% of the AIP Target. If less than the Threshold is met, the AIP Award shall be $0. If in a Plan Year the actual performance is above the Threshold, but below the Target, or above the Target but below the Maximum, the AIP Award Payment shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis by the level of actual achievement of the Metric Results. In no event shall the AIP Award Payment be more than 200% of the AIP Target. |
6. | Performance Metrics. |
a. | The Committee has established the following Performance Metrics categories for AIP Awards. Notwithstanding the attached AIP Award Agreement, for each Plan Year, the Committee may change the Performance Metrics for the Plan Year on or before March 31 of such Plan Year. |
i. | The percent increase in sales, measured in U.S. dollars, from the current Plan Year against the prior Plan Year, excluding the effects of currency movements (“Local Currency Sales Growth”), prepared on a basis consistent with the approved operating plan but normalized, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; |
ii. | Operating profit (“Operating Profit”), prepared on a basis consistent with the approved operating plan but normalized, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; |
iii. | Gross profit of the unit being measured, expressed as a percent of net sales (“Gross Margin Percentage”), prepared on a basis consistent with the approved operating plan but normalized, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; and |
iv. | Average amount of inventory and accounts receivable minus trade accounts payable, expressed as a percent of net sales on a 5-quarter average basis |
v. | Individual Performance. |
7. | Discretionary Nature of AIP Award Payments. After the end of each Plan Year, the Committee shall approve the Metric Results as prepared and presented by management. Except with respect to an AIP Award that is a Performance-Based Award, the AIP Award Payment to a Participant may be calculated based on the Metric Results or may be adjusted to take into account any factor, including the Participant’s individual performance in that Plan Year. |
8. | Mid-Year Entrants. New Company employees must be hired before October 1 of a Plan Year to be eligible to receive an AIP Award for that Plan Year. AIP Awards for Participants hired after January 1, but prior to October 1, of a Plan Year will be pro-rated from the date of hire based on the number of days in the Plan Year that the Participant is Employed by the Company as compared to the number of days in the Plan Year. |
9. | Termination of Employment or Leave of Absence. The following shall apply following a Participant’s termination of Employment or leave of absence. |
a. | Involuntary and Good Reason Termination: (i) if the Participant is involuntarily terminated without Cause (as defined in the Plan) by the Company, or if applicable, the Participant resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Plan), on or before March 31 of the Plan Year, the Participant will forfeit, and shall not be entitled to, any portion of an AIP Award for that Plan Year; (ii) if the Participant is involuntarily terminated without Cause, or if applicable, the Participant resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Plan) after March 31 of the Plan Year, the Participant’s AIP Award, if any, shall be pro-rated based on the number of the Participant’s active days Employed by the Company in such Plan Year preceding the date of termination; and (iii) if the Participant is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Plan) at any time during the Plan Year, the Participant shall forfeit, and shall not be entitled to, any portion of an AIP Award for such Plan Year. |
b. | Voluntary Termination (if applicable, other than for Good Reason): If the Participant voluntarily terminates Employment at any time during a Plan Year, or prior to payment of an AIP Award for a Plan Year, the Participant shall forfeit, and shall not be entitled to, receive any portion of an AIP Award for such Plan Year. |
c. | Early Retirement, Normal Retirement, Death and Disability: AIP Awards, if any, are pro-rated based on the Participant’s number of active days Employed by the Company in the Plan Year preceding the date of Early Retirement, Normal Retirement, death or Disability. |
d. | Leave of Absence: If the Participant is not in active Employment for any portion of the Plan Year as a result of a paid or unpaid leave of absence, the amount of any AIP Award may be further adjusted, subject to local legal requirements and applicable Company policies that govern leaves of absence. |
10. | Change in Control. In the event the Company undergoes a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Plan), AIP Awards shall be treated as provided for in Section 11 of the Plan or the ESP, if applicable. |
11. | Clawback and Recoupment of Awards. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Participant is designated by the Company as grade level 7 or above for any portion of the Plan Year, any AIP Award paid in connection with the AIP shall be subject to the clawback, recoupment or forfeiture provisions under Section 32 of the Plan and Section 9 of the ESP, if applicable. By acknowledging the AIP Award Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that any and all AIP Awards previously granted to the Participant prior to the Grant Date, and any other cash or shares of Common Stock provided to the Participant following the Grant Date and under the AIP or otherwise under the Plan, are subject to the provisions of Section 32 of the Plan and Section 9 of the ESP, as applicable. |
12. | Limits on Transfers of Awards. Except as provided by the Committee, no AIP Award and no right under any AIP Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, in accordance with Section 23 of the Plan. |
13. | Administration. |
a. | Administration. The Board has delegated administrative authority to the Committee and the AIP shall be administered by the Committee or a subset of the Committee that satisfies the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to any Performance-Based Awards. |
b. | Powers and Duties. The Committee shall have sole discretion and authority to make any and all determinations necessary or advisable for administration of the AIP and may adopt, amend or revoke any rule or regulation established for the proper administration of the AIP. The Committee shall have the ability to modify the AIP provisions, to the extent necessary, or delegate such authority, to accommodate any changes in law or regulations in jurisdictions in which Participants will receive AIP Awards. The Committee or its designee, if applicable, will review and approve the Performance Metrics established at the beginning of each Plan Year and review and approve AIP Award Payments. All interpretations, decisions, or determinations made by the Committee or its designee pursuant to the AIP shall be final and conclusive. |

16. | Severability; Survival of Terms. Should any provision of an AIP Award or these AIP Terms and Conditions be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the AIP Award or these AIP Terms and Conditions. These AIP Terms and Conditions shall apply to and bind the Participant and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors. |
17. | Entire Agreement.

19. | Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to an AIP Award by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. |
20. | Governing Law. These AIP Terms and Conditions and the AIP Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New York and of the United States without regard to principles of conflict of law. |
21. | Consent for Data Transfer.

A Participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing consent may affect Participant's ability to participate in the Plan. |
22. | Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under these AIP Terms and Conditions or the AIP Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally or by courier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, duly addressed to the party concerned at the address indicated below or to such changed address as such party may subsequently by similar process give notice of: |

1. | Amount of LTIP Award. As of the Date of Grant, the Participant shall be eligible to receive an LTIP Award in the amount of the LTIP Target set forth on the first page of the LTIP Award Agreement, as such amount may be adjusted as described in Section 5 below. |
2. | Eligibility for LTIP Award. A Participant’s eligibility for an LTIP Award in one Performance Cycle does not guarantee eligibility of the Participant for another LTIP Award in a subsequent Performance Cycle. |
3. | Payment of the LTIP Award. The LTIP Award provides the Participant with an opportunity to receive a single LTIP Award payout, comprising two separate payments, one in cash and one in shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “LTIP Award Payment”) if the Company achieves one or more satisfactory levels of performance (each a “Performance Achievement Level”) in respect of one or more metrics (each a “Performance Metric”) specified by the Committee, as provided hereunder. Performance Metrics must be met over discrete periods of time (each a “Performance Segment”) within or over a multi-year performance period (a “Performance Cycle”), as specified in the LTIP Award Agreement. Any LTIP Award Payment will be made in accordance with the attached LTIP Award Agreement. All LTIP Awards payable in cash will be paid in the applicable local currency. Except as provided in Section[s] 9 [and 10] below, a Participant must remain Employed by the Company continuously from the Date of Grant of the LTIP Award through the date the LTIP Award Payment is made. Accordingly, there is no partial payout for LTIP Awards, except as provided in Section[s] 9 [and 10] below. |
4. | LTIP Target. The attached LTIP Award Agreement specifies the Participant’s Long-Term Incentive Plan Target Award (the “LTIP Target”). The LTIP Target provides the Participant with an opportunity to receive an LTIP Award Payment in an amount equal to the LTIP Target. However, the actual LTIP Award Payment may be more or less than the LTIP Target, depending on the performance of the Company during the Performance Segments, as described further below and in Section 5: |
a. | The LTIP Target is first divided equally among the four Performance Segments: (i) Year 1, (ii) Year 2, (iii) Year 3 and (iv) Cumulative Performance Segment, each of which is weighted 25% when determining the LTIP Award Payment; and |
b. | The LTIP Target for a Performance Segment is then divided equally among the Performance Metrics for each Performance Segment, where each Performance Segment is weighted 50% between EP (as defined below) and TSR (as defined below) during Years One, Two and Three of the Performance Cycle and 100% TSR for the Cumulative Performance Segment; and |
c. | The LTIP Target for each Performance Metric in a Performance Segment is then divided equally between an opportunity to receive an LTIP Award Payment in the form of cash and an opportunity to receive an LTIP Award Payment in the form of shares of Common Stock. |
5. | Achievement of Performance Achievement Levels. The Committee shall specify the Performance Achievement Levels for each Performance Segment that will provide an LTIP Award Payment at LTIP Target. Specific values for Threshold, Target and Maximum (each, as described below) Performance Achievement Levels shall be set for each Performance Segment at the beginning of each Performance Segment by the Company when its budgets and other incentive targets are approved the Company’s Board of Directors. If 100% of the Performance Achievement Levels are achieved for a Performance Segment (the “Target”), the LTIP Award shall be equal to the LTIP Target for such Performance Segment; if the “Threshold” amount of the Performance Achievement Levels are achieved for the Performance Segment, the LTIP Award for such Performance Segment shall be equal to 25% of the LTIP Target for such Performance Segment; and if the “Maximum” amount of the Performance Achievement Levels are achieved for a Performance Segment, the LTIP Award for such Performance Segment shall be equal to 200% of the LTIP Target for such Performance Segment. If less than the Threshold is met, the LTIP Award shall be $0. If in a Performance Segment the actual performance is above the Threshold, but below the Target, or above the Target but below the Maximum, the LTIP Award Payment for such Performance Segment shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis by the actual Performance Achievement Levels. In no event shall the LTIP Award Payment for any Performance Segment be more than 200% of the LTIP Target for such Performance Segment. |
6. | Performance Metrics. |
a. | The Committee has established Internal Economic Profit (“EP”) and External Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) against the S&P 500 as the financial metrics for measuring Company performance for the Performance Segments. EP measures operating profitability after considering (i) the Company’s operating profit, (ii) the Company’s income taxes and (iii) a charge for the capital employed in the business. TSR is calculated by measuring the change in the market price of a share of Common Stock plus dividends paid (assuming the dividends are reinvested) for the Company and the S&P 500 companies over each Performance Segment. The market price for purposes of calculating the TSR of the Company and the S&P 500 for each Performance Segment is determined based on the average closing price per share of Common Stock over the period of 20 consecutive trading days preceding the last day of such Performance Segment. |
b. | The Performance Achievement Level for a Performance Segment that is a calendar year shall be set by the Committee on or before March 31 of each such year. The Performance Achievement Level for a Performance Segment that is greater than a calendar year shall be set by the Committee on or before March 31 of the first calendar year for the Performance Segment. |
c. | Notwithstanding the attached LTIP Award Agreement, (i) for a Performance Segment that is a calendar year, the Committee may change the Performance Metrics for the Performance Segment on or before March 31 of such year; and (ii) for a Performance Segment that is greater than a calendar year, the Committee may change the Performance Metrics for the Performance Segment on or before March 31 of the first calendar year of the Performance Segment. |
7. | Notional Account Credits. The portion of the LTIP Award attributable to the achievement of a Performance Metric at or above the Threshold during a Performance Segment prior to the LTIP Award Payment date will be credited to a notional bookkeeping account maintained by the |
8. | Mid-Year Entrants. For Participants entering the LTIP after January 1 of a Performance Segment, LTIP Awards shall be pro-rated based on the number of days in the Performance Segment that the Participant is Employed by the Company as compared to the number of days in the Performance Segment. |
9. | Termination of Employment or Leave of Absence. A Participant’s rights under the LTIP Award following termination of Employment or leave of absence shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions. |
a. | Involuntary and Good Reason Termination: (i) if the Participant is involuntarily terminated without Cause (as defined in the Plan) by the Company, or, if applicable, the Participant terminates for Good Reason (as defined in the Plan), the Participant’s LTIP Award will be calculated as provided above and pro-rated based on the number of days in the Performance Segment through the Participant’s separation from service (as defined under Section 409A of the Code), as compared to the total number of days in the Performance Segment, and payment will be made on the normally scheduled payout date for the respective Performance Cycle; and (ii) if the Participant is terminated for Cause (as defined in Plan) at any time during a single fiscal year (a “Plan Year”), the Participant will not be entitled to any portion of an LTIP Award. |
b. | Voluntary Termination (if applicable, other than for Good Reason): If the Participant voluntarily terminates Employment at any time during a Plan Year, or prior to payment of an LTIP Award for a Plan Year, the Participant will not be entitled to receive any portion of an LTIP Award. |
c. | Early Retirement, Normal Retirement, Death and Disability: LTIP Awards, if any, are pro-rated based on the number of days in the Performance Segment through the separation from service due to Early Retirement, Normal Retirement, death or Disability as compared to the total number of days in the Performance Segment and payment is made on the normally scheduled payout date for the respective Performance Cycle. |
d. | Leave of Absence: If a Participant is not in active Employment for any portion of the Plan Year as a result of a paid or unpaid leave of absence, the amount of any LTIP Award may be further adjusted, subject to local legal requirements and applicable Company policies that govern leaves of absence. |
10. | Change in Control. [Except as otherwise provided below], in the event the Company undergoes a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Plan), LTIP Awards shall be treated as provided for in Section 11 of the Plan or the ESP, if applicable. |
a. | [In the event the Participant’s Employment with the Company or a successor company is terminated within 2 years following a Change in Control by the Company (or successor company) without Cause and the Participant is designated by the Company as grade level 7 as of the date of the Change in Control, |
i. | For each Performance Segment that ends prior to the date of the Participant’s separation from service, the Participant shall receive an LTIP Award Payment equal to the LTIP Award Payment, if any, the Participant would have been entitled to receive for such Performance Segment had the Participant not separated from service, determined in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 of this LTIP Award Agreement; and |
ii. | For each Performance Segment in which the Participant’s separation from service occurs, the Participant shall receive an LTIP Award Payment equal to the product of (x) the Participant’s LTIP Target for the Performance Segment during which the Participant’s separation from service occurred and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Performance Segment preceding the date of the Participant’s separation from service and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Segment, |
11. | Clawback and Recoupment Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, both cash payments and shares of Common Stock paid or payable in connection with an LTIP Award shall be subject to the clawback, recoupment and forfeiture provisions of Section 32 of the Plan and Section 9 of the ESP, if applicable. By acknowledging the LTIP Award Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that any and all LTIP Awards previously granted to the Participant prior to the Grant Date, and any other cash or shares of Common Stock provided to the Participant following the Grant Date under the LTIP or otherwise under the Plan, are subject to the provisions of Section 32 of the Plan and Section 9 of the ESP, as applicable. |
12. | Limits on Transfers of Awards. Except as provided by the Committee, no LTIP Award and no right under any LTIP Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in accordance with Section 23 of the Plan. |
13. | Administration. |
a. | Administration. The Board has delegated administrative authority to the Committee and the LTIP shall be administered by the Committee or a subset of the Committee that satisfies the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to any Performance-Based Award. |
b. | Powers and Duties. The Committee shall have sole discretion and authority to make any and all determinations necessary or advisable for administration of the LTIP and may adopt, amend or revoke any rule or regulation established for the proper administration of the LTIP. The Committee shall have the ability to modify the LTIP provisions, to the extent necessary, or delegate such authority, to accommodate any changes in law or regulations in jurisdictions in which Participants will receive LTIP Awards. The Committee will review and approve the Performance Metrics established at the beginning of each Plan Year and review and approve LTIP Award Payments. All interpretations, decisions, or determinations made by the Committee pursuant to the LTIP shall be final and conclusive. |
14. | Amendment; Termination of the LTIP. The Committee has the right to revise, modify, or terminate the LTIP in whole or in part at any time or for any reason, and the right to modify any LTIP Award amount in accordance with Section 31 of the Plan. |
15. | Tax Liability and Withholding. The Participant shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the payments contemplated by an LTIP Award or these LTIP Terms and Conditions in accordance with Section 20 of the Plan. The Participant acknowledges the Company is authorized to withhold taxes due, or potentially payable in connection with any LTIP Award Payment in accordance with Section 20 of the Plan. Further, the Participant agrees to any deduction or setoff by the Company as provided under Section 26 of the Plan. |
16. | Severability; Survival of Terms. Should any provision of an LTIP Award or these LTIP Terms and Conditions be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the LTIP Award or these LTIP Terms and Conditions. These LTIP Terms and Conditions shall apply to and bind the Participant and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors. |
17. | Entire Agreement. These LTIP Terms and Conditions, the LTIP Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. |
18. | Non U.S. Residents. Rights and restrictions for Participants residing in foreign countries may differ and shall be based on applicable foreign law and will be governed by Section 33 of the Plan. |
19. | Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to an LTIP Award by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. |
20. | Governing Law. These LTIP Terms and Conditions and the attached LTIP Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New York and of the United States without regard to principles of conflict of law. |
21. | Consent for Data Transfer. By accepting this LTIP Award Agreement, the Participant voluntarily acknowledges and consents to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described herein, including for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan, certain personal information, including name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”). The Company and/or its affiliates will transfer Data among themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and |
22. | Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under these LTIP Terms and Conditions or the LTIP Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally or by courier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, duly addressed to the party concerned at the address indicated below or to such changed address as such party may subsequently by similar process give notice of: |
Total ECP Award Amount | Vesting | Fair Market Value* of a share of Common Stock (a “Share”) on Grant Date |
[$] | [DATE] | [$] |
ECP Award Value ($US) | ECP Award Type | Percentage of ECP Award | ECP Award Amount |
[$] | PRS* | [ _%] | [# of Matched PRS] PRS is assigned an adjustment factor of 120% |
[$] | SSAR* | [ _%] | [ __ SSARs] Number of SSARs granted is based on 4.5 times the elected SSAR award value divided by the Fair Market Value* of a Share on the Grant Date. |
[$] | RSU* | [ _%] | [ __ RSUs] |
1. | Amount of ECP Award. As of the Grant Date, the Participant shall be eligible to receive an ECP Award in the forms and amounts set forth on the first page of the ECP Award Agreement. |
2. | Eligibility for Award. A Participant’s eligibility for an ECP Award shall be at the discretion of the Committee. Eligibility for an ECP Award in one period does not guarantee eligibility for an ECP Award in a later period. |
3. | Vesting of Award. The ECP Award vests on the date set forth on the first page of the ECP Award Agreement (the “ECP Vesting Date”) if not previously forfeited, and is 0% vested before expiration of this period. |
4. | ECP Award Allocations. Participants may elect to allocate their total ECP Award between three types of ECP Award grants in 5% increments: (i) Purchase Restricted Stock (“PRS”), (ii) Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights (“SSARs”), and (iii) Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). If a Participant does not elect an ECP Award type within the time period specified by the Committee, 100% of the ECP Award will be allocated to SSARs by default or such other default selection specified by the Committee. |
5. | Purchase Restricted Stock. PRS are restricted Shares (or RSUs for non-U.S. Participants) granted under Section 7 of the Plan. As used herein, the term “PRS” shall mean Shares or RSUs representing PRS, as applicable. There is a 20% adjustment upward of the ECP Award value for any allocation of the ECP Award elected in PRS. For example, if a Participant elects to receive $100 of his or her ECP in PRS, the Participant will be required to fund, and will receive matching PRS from the Company, valued at $120. If a Participant chooses PRS, then he or she must deliver funds (or Shares with an equivalent value) equal to the dollar amount of the ECP Award that he or she is electing to receive in PRS (including the 20% adjustment described above). Upon receipt of the funds or Shares by the Company, the Participant shall receive (a) PRS in the form of Shares calculated based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date (“Purchased PRS”) and (b) a match of PRS in the form of Shares or RSUs, as determined by the Company based on the location of the Participant (the “Matched PRS”). Cash shall be paid to Participant in lieu of any fractional Shares. |
(1) | Evidence of PRS Awards. Purchased PRS and Matched PRS shall be issued and registered in the name of the Participant and evidence of ownership of the Purchased PRS and Matched PRS shall be retained by the Company in a restricted account maintained by the Company’s designated agent. |
(2) | Voting Rights. The Participant shall be entitled to vote PRS (including Matched PRS that are in the form of Shares, but not Matched PRS that are in the form of RSUs) on any matter submitted to a vote of holders of Shares, and shall have all other rights of a shareholder of the Company except as expressly limited by the ECP Award Agreement or the Plan. |
(3) | Dividends and Distributions. Purchased PRS and Matched PRS in the form of Shares earn dividends (or dividend equivalents in the case of RSUs) and are entitled to distributions during the vesting period if and to the extent that the Participant is the record owner of such PRS on any record date for such a dividend or distribution and Participant has not forfeited the Matched PRS on or before the payment date for such dividend or distribution. |
(a) | In the event of a cash dividend or cash distribution on Shares, such dividend or distribution shall be paid in cash to Participant at the time of payment to shareholders generally and shall be non-forfeitable. |
(b) | In the event of any non-cash dividend or distribution in the form of property other than Shares, such property shall be distributed in respect of Purchased PRS, but the Company (or its designated agent) shall retain in its custody the property so distributed in respect of Matched PRS, which property will become vested if and to the same extent the underlying Matched PRS becomes vested and, to the greatest extent practicable, shall be subject to all other terms and conditions applied to the underlying Matched PRS, including in the event of any dividends or distributions paid in respect of such property; provided, however, that any dividend or distribution of rights that expire before the ECP Vesting Date will be unrestricted and exercisable by Participant in accordance with their terms. |
(c) | In the event of a dividend or distribution in the form of Shares or a stock split of Shares, the Shares so issued or delivered will be deemed to be additional Purchased PRS or Matched PRS, as the case may be, and in the case of Matched PRS will become vested if and to the same extent as the underlying Matched PRS. If the PRS are in the form of Shares, the dividends and distributions will be made in Shares; if the PRS are in the form of RSUs the dividends and distributions will be made in the form of RSUs. |
(4) | Restrictions on PRS. The PRS shall be subject to the following restrictions during the vesting period: |
(a) | Purchased PRS. The Participant shall have the right to withdraw, transfer, sell, assign, pledge or encumber (subject to Section 23 of the Plan) any or all of the Purchased PRS at any time, by written notice addressed to the Company; provided that such withdrawal, transfer, sale, assignment, pledge or encumbrance of Purchased PRS will result in forfeiture of a corresponding number of Matched PRS. |
(b) | Matched PRS. Matched PRS are subject to the risk of forfeiture and other restrictions specified in the ECP Award Agreement and these ECP Terms and Conditions. Participant shall have no right to withdraw or otherwise receive delivery of Matched PRS until such time as the Matched PRS have become vested. Until such time as the Matched PRS become vested, Participant may not transfer Matched PRS or |
6. | Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights (“SSARs”). SSARs are an award granted under Section 7 of the Plan, under which Participants receive a contractual right to receive the value in Shares of the appreciation in the Company’s price per Share from the SSAR Grant Date to the date the SSAR is exercised by the Participant. |
(a) | Number of SSARs Granted. The total number of SSARs granted by the Company to a Participant is set forth on the first page of the ECP Award Agreement and is based on 4.5 times the Participant’s SSARs award value divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. By way of example: |
(b) | Evidence of SSAR Awards. Prior to vesting, the Company (or its designated agent) shall maintain a bookkeeping account reflecting the number of SSARs granted as part of an ECP Award, and credited to a Participant’s account. |
(c) | Exercise and Payment of Awards. A Participant may exercise vested SSARs by delivering written notice to the Company stating the number of Shares as to which SSARS are being exercised and the name in which Participant wishes the Shares to be issued. SSARs may only be exercised on a date that the Fair Market Value of a Share exceeds the Base Price (as defined below) and only if the SSARs are otherwise exercisable at such date. Upon exercise of SSARs, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment in Shares, calculated as follows: |
(d) | Exercise Period. SSARs are exercisable for a seven (7) year period, as measured from the Grant Date or such earlier date as such SSAR may terminate as described herein. |
(e) | Dividend and Voting Rights. SSARS do not earn dividends and are not entitled to any voting rights. |
7. | Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). RSUs are an Award granted under Section 7 of the Plan, under which Participants receive a contractual right to receive unrestricted Shares upon vesting. |
(a) | Number of RSUs granted. The total number of RSUs granted by the Company to a Participant is set forth on the first page of the ECP Award Agreement and is based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. |
(b) | Evidence of RSU Award. Prior to vesting, the Company or its designated agent shall maintain a bookkeeping account reflecting the number of RSUs granted as part of an ECP Award, and credited to a Participant’s account. |
(c) | Settlement of RSUs. Upon vesting, the RSUs will be settled by delivery of one Share for each RSU being settled. Such settlement shall occur promptly on or following the vesting of each RSU. |
(d) | Dividends/Dividend Equivalents and Voting Rights. RSUs do not provide voting or dividend rights until fully vested and no dividends will be paid or credited on any RSUs. |
8. | Termination of Employment. The following provisions will govern the treatment of a Participant’s ECP Award in the event of a termination of Employment. |
A. | Termination for Cause or Resignation. If a Participant terminates Employment for Cause (as defined in the Plan) or voluntarily terminates (other than a voluntary termination of Employment by the Participant due to (x) Normal Retirement, (y) Early Retirement [or (z) with respect to Participants who are designated as Tier I Employees by the Company for purposes of the ESP, Good Reason]), then: |
(1) | All outstanding unvested Matched PRS will be immediately forfeited; |
(2) | All outstanding unvested SSARs will be immediately forfeited and all vested SSARs (i) will cease to be exercisable and will terminate three (3) months after termination of Employment with the Company (or an affiliate of the Company) due to a voluntary termination by the Participant (but in no event after the expiration date of the award grant) and (ii) all outstanding vested SSARs will cease to be exercisable and will immediately terminate in the case of a termination for Cause by the Company; and, |
(3) | All outstanding unvested RSUs will be immediately forfeited. |
B. | Termination due to Disability or Normal Retirement. If a Participant terminates Employment due to Disability or Normal Retirement, then: |
(1) | All outstanding unvested Matched PRS will remain outstanding and will become vested at the ECP Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had a termination of Employment under this subsection 4.B.; |
(2) | All outstanding unvested SSARs will remain outstanding and will become exercisable at the ECP Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had a termination of Employment under this subsection 4.B. SSARs that were vested at the time of the Participant’s termination of Employment and those that become vested thereafter will remain outstanding and exercisable until the expiration date of the SSARs, at which date the SSARs will cease to be exercisable and will terminate; and, |
(3) | All outstanding unvested RSUs will remain outstanding and will become vested at the Applicable Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had a termination of Employment under this subsection 4.B. Upon vesting, such RSUs will be settled promptly, provided that if vesting occurs at an Applicable Vesting Date earlier than the ECP Vesting Date, settlement will occur within fourteen (14) days after the Applicable Vesting Date. “Applicable Vesting Date” means March 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant’s employment terminates or, if earlier, the ECP Vesting Date. |
C. | Termination Not for Cause, [for Good Reason] or Early Retirement. If a Participant involuntarily terminates Employment not for Cause, or voluntarily terminates Employment due to [(x)] Early Retirement [or (y) with respect to Participants who are designated as Tier I Employees by the Company for purposes of the ESP, Good Reason], then: |
(1) | A pro rata portion of all outstanding unvested Matched PRS will remain outstanding and will become vested at the ECP Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had a termination of Employment under this Section 4.C.; |
(2) | A pro rata portion of all outstanding unvested SSARs will remain outstanding and will become exercisable at the ECP Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had a termination of Employment under this subsection 4.C. SSARs that were vested at the time of the Participant’s termination of Employment and those that become vested thereafter will remain outstanding and exercisable until the expiration date of the SSARs, at which date the SSARs will cease to be exercisable and will terminate; and |
(3) | A pro rata portion of all outstanding unvested RSUs will remain outstanding and will become vested at the Applicable Vesting Date as though the Participant had not had such a termination of Employment under this Section 4.C. Such outstanding RSUs will be promptly settled, provided that if vesting occurs at an Applicable Vesting Date earlier than the ECP Vesting Date, settlement will occur within fourteen (14) days after the Applicable Vesting Date. |
(4) | For purposes of subsections C. (1) through C. (3) above, the pro rata portion will be determined by multiplying the number of unvested Matched PRS, SSARs or RSUs, as the case may be, by a fraction with the numerator of which is (x) the number of days from the Grant Date to the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment and (y) the denominator of which is 1,066. A Participant’s PRS, SSARs or RSUs, as the case may be, that had not vested before such termination of Employment under this subsection 4.C. and which are not included in the pro rata portion subject to continued vesting will be immediately forfeited. |
