EXHIBIT 10.1

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC.

1989 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

(As Amended and Restated — effective January 22, 2009)

 

1. Purposes of the Plan.

This Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to encourage stock ownership by employees of Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (the “Company”) and certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

 

2. Administration.

The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the “Committee”) appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) from among its members and shall be comprised of not less than three (3) members of the Board. Unless and until its members are not qualified to serve on the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Human Resource & Compensation Committee of the Board shall function as the Committee. Members of the Committee shall be members of the Board who are not eligible to participate under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or its affiliates authorizing discretionary grants or awards of stock, stock options or stock appreciation rights and who have not been eligible to so participate for at least one (1) year prior to service as an administrator of the Plan. Eligibility requirements for members of the Committee shall comply with Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) or any successor rule or regulation. No person, other than members of the Committee, shall have any discretion concerning decisions regarding the Plan except as otherwise provided in this Plan. The Committee is authorized to construe and interpret the Plan, to define the terms used herein, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, and to take any other action in connection with the administration of the Plan and Options granted hereunder that it deems proper.

 

3. Grant of Options.

 

  (a) The Company shall grant to all Eligible Employees Options (“Options”) to purchase Common Stock of the Company (“Shares”) in accordance with this Plan. All employees granted Options under the Plan shall have the same rights and privileges.

 

  (b) The Options granted under this Plan shall be granted effective only on the first day of a six month election period referred to in Paragraph 5 of the Plan (“Election Period”). No Option shall be treated as granted prior to the first day of such Election Period.

 

4. Eligible Employees.

 

  (a) The employees eligible to receive Options under the Plan (“Eligible Employee”) shall be all employees of the Company and all corporations that now are or hereafter become domestic United States subsidiary corporations (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code) and all employees of any foreign subsidiary corporation designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Company may change the designation of the subsidiaries participating in the Plan (“participating subsidiaries”) at any time.


  (b) However, the following employees shall not be Eligible Employees under the Plan:

 

  (i) Employees who normally work fewer than 20 hours per week;

 

  (ii) Employees who normally work five or fewer months during the fiscal year of the Company;

 

  (iii) Employees who have completed less than one year of employment by the Company or a participating subsidiary of the Company; and

 

  (iv) Employees who are not actively employed by the Company at the beginning of a six month Election Period, including employees who are on disability leave or leave of absence.

 

  (c) Employees of participating subsidiaries that have become subsidiaries by reason of having been acquired by the Company or a subsidiary and companies that have been merged with the Company or a subsidiary shall, in the discretion of the Committee, receive credit for the time they have worked for such acquired or merged company.

 

  (d) Any employee who would own more than five percent of the Common Stock in the Company immediately after an Option under this Plan is granted shall also be excluded from eligibility. Stock that the employee may purchase under all outstanding stock options granted to him or her by the Company shall be treated as stock owned by the employee for such purposes, even though the option is not presently exercisable.

 

5. Exercise of Option

 

  (a) An Eligible Employee may exercise his or her Option to acquire Common Stock by completing a Payroll Deduction Authorization Form in such form as approved from time to time by the Committee. The election to exercise the Option shall be effective for six-month Election Periods commencing January 1, 2006. The Election Periods shall be from January 1 to June 30 and from July 1 to December 31. There will be a short four-month Election Period from March 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005. There will be a short three-month Election Period from July 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005. There will be a short three-month Election Period from October 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005. An eligible Employee’s election to participate in the Plan shall be irrevocable during each Election Period.

 

  (b) Eligible Employees who have elected to exercise their Options for any Election Period are sometimes referred to as “Participants” in this Plan.

 

  (c) In no event may an Option be exercised later than the period of time specified in Section 423(b)(7)(B) of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 6 and 12, an Option shall be treated as exercised on the day the Company sells and Participants purchase the related option Shares.

 

6. Payment of Purchase Price.

 

  (a)

Each Participant shall pay for the stock subject to his or her option with after-tax salary reduction contributions. The Company shall reduce each Participant’s salary or wages by any whole percentage from 2% to 15% of basic


 

compensation. A Participant’s basic compensation shall include only regular fixed basic compensation, and shall not include any bonus, overtime payment, contribution to an employee benefit plan or other similar payment or contribution.

 

  (b) Each Participant shall specify the amount of salary reduction on a Payroll Deduction Authorization Form to be furnished by the Company. The salary reduction contributions shall continue throughout the six month Election Period.

 

  (c) The Company shall begin salary reductions during the pay periods as close as practical to the first day of each Election Period, and shall cease such reductions during the pay periods as close as practical to the last day of each Election Period.

 

  (d) The Company shall sell and Participants shall purchase the option Shares on such dates as determined from time to time by the Committee. The Company shall then issue Common Stock to Participants who exercised their Options, at the prices specified in Paragraph 8 of this Plan. The number of Shares purchased shall be based on the aggregate amount of salary reduction contributions during each Election Period, less any amounts previously used by the Participant during the same Election Period for the purchase of Shares. No interest shall accrue on the salary reduction contributions.

 

7. Fractional Shares.

The Company shall not issue or transfer fractional Shares under the Plan. In the event that the amount of salary reduction contributions of any employee is not exactly equal to the purchase price for a whole number of Shares, then any excess amount shall be used to purchase additional Shares during the next purchase period or refunded to the employee without interest if the employee, for any reason, ceases participation in the Plan.

 

8. Purchase Price.

 

  (a) The purchase price for the Shares shall be 95% of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of purchase (effective for all purchases on or after October 1, 2005).

 

  (b) The fair market value for such purposes shall be the closing price of the Shares on the composite transactions report of the national securities exchange on which the Shares are then listed for the day on which the value is to be determined. If such date is a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or other date on which such exchange is closed, then the fair market value shall be determined as the closing price on the first immediately preceding trading date.

 

9. Stock Subject to the Plan.

The total number of Shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued under this Plan is 26,627,108 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 17. These Shares may be authorized but unissued Shares, or issued Shares which have been reacquired by the Company from any person.


10. Maximum Amount of Option Stock.

 

  (a) The maximum fair market value of Shares that an employee may accrue the right to purchase under the Plan and any other employee stock purchase plan of the Company or any subsidiary in any calendar year may not exceed $25,000 or such greater amount as Section 423(b)(8)(B) of the Code, or any successor section, may hereafter allow. The fair market value of the Shares for such purposes shall be determined on the first day of each six month Election Period.

 

  (b) The maximum number of Shares that a Participant may purchase during any six-month Election Period is 2,400 shares. The maximum number of Shares that a Participant may purchase at the end of each month within any such six-month Election Period is 400 shares. Subject to the limitation contained in the first paragraph of this Paragraph 10, any excess withholdings resulting from this limitation shall be used to buy Common Stock during the next purchase period or refunded to the employee without interest in the event that the employee, for any reason, ceases participation in the Plan.

 

11. Restrictions on Transferability.

A Participant may not transfer an Option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Only the Participant may exercise an Option during his or her lifetime.

 

12. Termination of Employment.

In the event that a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or a participating subsidiary for any reason, including death, disability, retirement or voluntary or involuntary termination, then the Participant’s rights under the Plan shall terminate. Except as provided in Paragraph 13, below, the Company shall refund to the Participant without interest the salary reduction contributions made by the Participant during the Election Period in which termination occurs.

 

13. Designation of Beneficiary.

 

  (a) A Participant may file, in a manner prescribed by the Committee, a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares or cash under this Plan in the event of such Participant’s death. If a Participant’s death occurs subsequent to the end of an Election Period but prior to the delivery to him or her of any Shares deliverable under the terms of this Plan, and after the Committee has received notice of the death of the Participant, such Shares and any remaining balance of cash shall be delivered to such beneficiary (or such other person as set forth in Section 13 (b)) as soon as administratively practicable after the Company receives notice of such Participant’s death and the Participant’s Option shall terminate. If a Participant’s death occurs at any other time, the balance of such Participant’s contributions shall be paid to such beneficiary (or such other person as set forth in Section 13(b)) in cash as soon as administratively practicable after the Company receives notice of such Participant’s death and such Participant’s Option shall terminate. If a Participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not his or her spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective.

 

  (b)

Beneficiary designations may be changed by the Participant (and his or her spouse, if required) at any time on forms provided and in the manner prescribed by the Committee. If a Participant dies with no validly designated beneficiary


 

under this Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, then the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, shall be deemed to be the beneficiary. If a Participant dies without a surviving spouse and with no validly designated beneficiary under this Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Company shall deliver all Shares and/or cash payable pursuant to the terms hereof to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed, the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such Shares and/or cash to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Committee deems appropriate.

 

14. Rights as a Stockholder.

No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder as to Shares being purchased during any six month Election Period until the Common Stock has actually been purchased by and issued to the Participant. No adjustment shall be made or additional amount paid as a result of dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

 

15. Listing, Registration and Qualification of Shares.

The issuance of Shares under this Plan shall be subject to applicable securities and other laws, including listing of the Shares on all stock exchanges on which the Shares may be, from time to time, listed and the registration of the Shares and Options under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

16. Term of the Plan.

The term of the Plan shall be for a period commencing on March 1, 1989 and ending on January 22, 2019.

 

17. Amendments.

 

  (a) The Board may terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, may suspend the Plan, in whole or in part, from time to time and may amend the Plan from time to time, including the adoption of amendments deemed necessary or desirable to qualify the Plan under the laws of various countries (including tax laws) and under rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to employees who are subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the 1934 Act, or to correct any defect or supply an omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option granted thereunder, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that no action shall be taken without the approval of the stockholders of the Company where such approval is required under Section 423 of the Code or other applicable laws or regulations, including the rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange, or to withdraw administration from the Committee, or permit any person while a member of the Committee to be eligible to receive, other than pursuant to a non-discretionary formula plan, a grant or award of a stock option, a stock appreciation right or other equity security of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may make amendments or adopt rules and procedures applicable or inapplicable only to Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act.

 

  (b)

No amendment or termination or modification of the Plan shall in any manner affect any Option theretofore granted without the consent of the optionee, except that the Committee may amend or modify the Plan in a manner that does


 

affect Options theretofore granted upon a finding by the Committee that such amendment or modification is in the best interest of holders of outstanding Options affected thereby.

 

  (c) This Plan is intended to comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the 1934 Act, insofar as participants subject to Section 16 of that Act are concerned. To the extent any provision of the Plan does not so comply, and cannot for any reason be amended by the Board, the provision shall, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee, be deemed null and void with respect to such participants.

 

18. Adjustments for Changes in Common Stock.

 

  (a) In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other similar event, the Board shall make appropriate and proportionate adjustments, including the substitution and issuance of securities of any successor corporation for the Shares of the Company to be issued under the Plan, to the maximum number of Shares subject to the Plan the maximum number of Shares a Participant may purchase during any six-month Election Period and the maximum number of Shares that a Participant may purchase at the end of each month within any such six-month Election Period; and the price per share subject to outstanding Options.

 

  (b) If the Company is acquired by merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or outstanding voting stock, then all outstanding Options under the Plan will automatically be exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such acquisition. The exercise price in such event shall be equal to 95% of the lower of (i) the fair market value per share of the Common Stock on the first day of the purchase period in which such acquisition occurs or (ii) the fair market value per share of the Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such acquisition.

 

19. Miscellaneous.

This Plan is subject to all of the requirements of Section 423 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

This Plan shall not confer any right on an employee to continue in the employment of the Company or any subsidiary or division of the Company.

The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares under the Plan unless and until there has been compliance with such laws and regulations as the Company deems applicable.

(c) The Committee may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, establish such rules, regulations, policies and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan, and may make determinations and may take such other action in connection with or in relation to the Plan as it deems necessary or advisable. Except as provided in Paragraph 18, each determination or other action made or taken pursuant to the Plan, including interpretations of the Plan and the specific conditions and provisions of the Incentive Awards granted or awarded hereunder by the Committee, shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons including, but without limitation, the Company, its Related Companies, the Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company, officers and the affected employees of the Company and/or its Related Companies, employees and the respective successors in interest of any of the foregoing.

The Committee may delegate to any such Subcommittee(s) the authority to grant Incentive Awards, to determine all terms of such Incentive Awards and/or to administer the Plan, pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Subject to the limitations of the Plan and the limitations of the Committee’s delegation, any such Subcommittee would have the full authority of the Committee pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Any such Subcommittee shall not, however, grant Incentive Awards on terms more favorable than Incentive Awards granted by the Committee. Actions by any such Subcommittee within the scope of delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been taken by the Committee. Any such Subcommittee shall be required to report to the Committee on any actions that the Subcommittee has taken.


(e) The Committee may designate the Secretary of the Company or any other Company employee to assist the Committee in the administration of the Plan, and may grant authority to such persons to execute agreements evidencing Incentive Awards made under the Plan or other documents entered into under the Plan on behalf of the Committee or the Company.

 

5. Stock.

The Jacobs Common Stock to be issued, transferred and/or sold under the Plan shall be made available from authorized and unissued Jacobs Common Stock or from the Company’s treasury shares. The total number of shares of Jacobs Common Stock that may be issued or transferred under the Plan pursuant to Incentive Awards hereunder may not exceed 18,700,000 shares (subject to adjustment as described below). Such number of shares shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with this Section 5 and Section 12. Jacobs Common Stock subject to any unexercised portion of an Option that expires or is canceled, surrendered or terminated for any reason may again be subject to Incentive Awards granted under the Plan.

 

6. Eligibility.

Incentive Awards may be granted or awarded to any individual who is an employee of the Company or a Related Company on the date of grant. In no event may Incentive Awards be granted or awarded to any Employee for more than one million shares in any one calendar year, subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 12 of the Plan.

 

7. Grants of Options.

Each Option grant shall be evidenced by a written instrument containing such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may approve. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Option Price. The option price of all ISOs shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Jacobs Common Stock on the date of grant. The option price of all NQSOs shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Jacobs Common Stock on the date of grant.

(b) Duration of Options. The duration of Options shall be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall the duration exceed ten (10) years from the date of its grant.

(c) Other Terms and Conditions. Options may contain such other provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine appropriate from time to time, including, without limitation, provisions for accelerated vesting of Options, and provisions relating to the termination of Options for conduct deemed detrimental to the Company and/or its Related Companies; provided, however, that, except in the event of a Change in Control or the Disability or death of the employee, no Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part for a period of twelve (12) months from the date on which the Option is granted. Neither the grant nor award of an Incentive Award under the Plan constitutes an agreement of employment between the Employee and the Company or a Related Company. The receipt of an Incentive Award does not constitute a right acquired by the recipient to any other form of compensation, or to any future benefit or compensation, or to participate in any other benefit plan or program sponsored by the Company or Related Company, or to receive additional Incentive Awards under the Plan in the future. The grant


of an Option to any employee shall not affect in any way the right of the Company and any Related Company to terminate the employment of the holder thereof.

(d) ISOs. The Committee, with respect to each grant of an Option to an employee, shall determine whether such Option shall be an ISO, and, upon determining that an Option shall be an ISO, shall designate it as such in the written instrument evidencing such Option. Each written instrument evidencing an ISO shall contain all terms and conditions required by Section 422 of the Code. If the written instrument evidencing an Option does not contain a designation that it is an ISO, it shall not be an ISO.

The Employee to whom an ISO is granted must be eligible to receive an ISO pursuant to Section 422 of the Code.

The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined in each instance on the date on which an ISO is granted) of the Jacobs Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are first exercisable by any employee in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 for such employee. If any Majority-Owned Related Company of the Company shall adopt a stock option plan under which options constituting ISOs may be granted, the fair market value of the stock on which any such ISOs are granted and the times at which such ISOs will first become exercisable shall be taken into account in determining the maximum amount of ISOs that may be granted to the employee under this Plan in any calendar year.

 

8. Exercises of Options.

(a) An exercisable Option may be exercised in whole or in part. However, an Option may not be exercised in a manner that will result in fractional shares of Jacobs Common Stock being issued.

(b) All, or any portion, of an exercisable Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery to the representative of the Company designated for such purpose by the Committee of all of the following: (i) notice of exercise in such form and in such manner as the Committee may authorize; (ii) payment of the exercise price for such Options being exercised; (iii) such representations and documents as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or advisable to effect compliance with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any other federal, state, or foreign securities laws or regulations; and (iv) in the event that the Option is being exercised pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan by any person other than the Employee, proof deemed appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion of the right of such person to exercise the Option.

(c) The option price shall be paid in full at the time of exercise. Payment is to be made in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee and upon conditions established by it, by the delivery or constructive exchange of shares of Jacobs Common Stock acceptable to the Committee owned by the Employee for such period of time as may be established by the Committee.

(d) The Committee may make such provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding or payment by the Employee of any taxes which it determines are required in connection with an exercise of an Option, and an Optionee’s rights in any Incentive Award are subject to satisfaction of such conditions. If permitted by the Committee, the Employee may elect to satisfy all or any portion of such taxes by instructing the Company to withhold shares of Jacobs Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to the employee by reason of the exercise.


If shares of Jacobs Common Stock are delivered or constructively exchanged to pay the option price, or if shares of Jacobs Common Stock otherwise issuable to the employee by reason of the exercise are withheld to satisfy tax liabilities, the value of the shares delivered or exchanged or that are withheld shall be computed using the Fair Market Value of the Jacobs Common Stock delivered or exchanged, or withheld, determined as of the date of exercise.

 

9. Transferability of Incentive Awards.

Except as otherwise provided by the Committee:

(a) Incentive Awards granted or awarded pursuant to the Plan shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The rights of an Employee under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder.

(b) During the lifetime of an Employee, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Employee personally, or by the Employee’s legal representative.

 

10. Effect on Options of Termination of Employment, Other Changes of Employment or Employer Status, Death, Retirement, or a Change in Control

Schedule A, attached hereto, establishes the effects on outstanding Options of an Employee’s termination of employment, other changes of employment or employer status, death, Disability, Retirement, or a Change in Control, and is hereby incorporated by reference. The Committee may approve grants of Options containing terms and conditions different from, or in addition to, those set forth in Schedule A.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, no Option may have a term of more than ten years.

In the case of leaves of absence, employees will not be deemed to have terminated employment unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise.

Except as provided in Paragraph 18, the Committee may, with the consent of the affected employee, modify the terms and conditions pertaining to the effect of an employee’s termination on the expiration or exercisability of an Option subsequent to the date of grant.

 

11. No Rights as a Shareholder.

An employee or a transferee of an employee pursuant to Section 9 shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Jacobs Common Stock covered by an Option or receivable upon the exercise of an Option until the employee or transferee shall have become the holder of record of such Jacobs Common Stock, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property or other distributions or rights in respect to such Jacobs Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date on which the employee or transferee shall have in fact become the holder of record of the share of Jacobs Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Incentive Award.


12. Adjustment in the Number of Shares and in Option Price.

Except as provided in Paragraph 18, in the event there is any change in the shares of Jacobs Common Stock through the declaration of stock dividends, or stock splits or through recapitalization or merger or consolidation or combination of shares or spin-offs or otherwise, the Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company shall make such adjustment, if any, as it may deem appropriate in the number of shares of Jacobs Common Stock available for Options as well as the number of shares of Jacobs Common Stock subject to any outstanding Option and the option price thereof. Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional shares that might otherwise become subject to any Option without payment therefore.

 

13. Awards of Restricted Stock.

(a) An Incentive Award in the form of shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded under this Section 13 as determined by the Committee. Restricted Stock awarded under this Plan shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, and in the event of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason (including death and Disability unless the Committee in its sole discretion terminates the Forfeiture Restrictions following the death or Disability of such Employee), the Employee shall be obligated, for no consideration, to forfeit and surrender such shares (to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions) to the Company. The restrictions against disposition and the obligation to forfeit and surrender shares to the Company are herein referred to as “Forfeiture Restrictions”, and the shares that are then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions are referred to as “Restricted Stock.” Certificates representing Restricted Stock shall be appropriately legended to reflect the Forfeiture Restrictions.

(b) The number of shares of Restricted Stock that may be awarded under this Plan shall be limited to 10% of the first 11,200,000 shares authorized for issuance as Incentive Awards under this Plan, and 50% of any shares authorized for issuance under this Plan in excess of 11,200,000. Any shares of Restricted Stock awarded under this Plan that are forfeited shall again be available for reissuance as Restricted Stock.

(c) The Forfeiture Restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock issued under this Section 13 shall lapse and be of no further force and effect upon the expiration of the period of time fixed by the Committee upon the issuance of such Restricted Stock.

(d) Should the Employee’s employment with the Company or Related Company be terminated for any reason upon or within thirty-six (36) months following a Change in Control, then all remaining Forfeiture Restrictions, if any, shall be deemed to have lapsed.

(e) In order to enforce the restrictions imposed upon shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require the recipient to enter into an escrow agreement providing that the certificates representing such shares of Restricted Stock shall remain in the physical custody of an escrow holder until any or all of the restrictions imposed pursuant to the Plan expire or shall have been removed.

(f) The Committee may make such provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding or payment by the Employee of any withholding taxes which it determines are required in connection the lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions, and an Employee’s rights in any Incentive Award are subject to satisfaction of such conditions. If permitted by the Committee, the Employee may elect to satisfy all or any portion of such taxes by instructing the Company to withhold shares of Jacobs Common Stock as to which the Restrictions have lapsed.


(g) If shares of Jacobs Common Stock are withheld to satisfy tax liabilities, the value of such shares shall be computed using the Fair Market Value of the Jacobs Common Stock on the date of Forfeiture Restrictions lapse.

(h) All of the foregoing restrictions, terms and other conditions regarding shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a written agreement between the Company and the Employee and containing such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall approve.

 

14. Amendments, Modifications and Termination of the Plan.

(a) From time to time, the Board of Directors or the Committee may suspend the Plan, in whole or in part. Except as provided in this Paragraph 14 and in Paragraph 18, from time to time, the Board of Directors or the Committee may terminate or amend the Plan, in whole or in part, including the adoption of amendments deemed necessary or desirable to qualify the Incentive Awards under the laws (including tax laws) of various countries and under rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to employees who are subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the 1934 Act, or to correct any defect or supply an omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Incentive Award granted hereunder, or for any other purpose or to any effect permitted by applicable laws and regulations, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company. However, in no event may additional shares of Jacobs Common Stock be allocated to the Plan, or may the minimum exercise price for Options be reduced, or may any outstanding Option be repriced or replaced without shareholder approval. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board of Directors or the Committee may make amendments applicable or inapplicable only to employees who are subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act.

(b) No amendment or termination or modification of the Plan shall in any manner affect any Incentive Award theretofore granted without the consent of the employee, except that, except as provided in Paragraph 18, the Committee may amend or modify the Plan in a manner that does affect Incentive Awards theretofore granted upon a finding by the Committee that such amendment or modification is in the best interest of holders of outstanding Incentive Awards affected thereby.

(c) Grants of ISOs may be made under this Plan until January 22, 2019 or such earlier date as this Plan is terminated, and grants of NQSOs and awards of Restricted Stock may be made until all of the shares of Jacobs Common Stock authorized for issuance hereunder (adjusted as provided in Sections 5 and 12) have been issued or until this Plan is terminated, whichever first occurs. The Plan shall terminate when there are no longer Options outstanding under the Plan, or when there are no longer shares of Restricted Stock outstanding that are subject to Forfeiture Restrictions, unless earlier terminated by the Board or by the Committee.

 

15. Non-U.S. Employees.

The Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, whether it is desirable or feasible under local law, custom or practice to grant or award Incentive Awards to Employees in countries other than the United States. Except as provided in Paragraph 18, in order to facilitate any such grants or awards, the Committee may provide for such modifications and additional terms and conditions (“special terms”) in the grant and award agreements to Employees who are employed outside the United States (or who


are foreign nationals temporarily within the United States) as the Committee may consider necessary, appropriate or desirable to accommodate differences in, or otherwise comply with, local law, policy or custom or to facilitate administration of the Plan. The Committee may adopt or approve sub- plans, appendices or supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary, appropriate or desirable for purposes of implementing any special terms or facilitating the grant or award of an Incentive Award, without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose. The special terms and any appendices, supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions, however, shall not include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as then in effect, unless the Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

16. Governing Law.

The Plan shall be governed by and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its choice of law rules.

 

17. Adoption of the Plan.

The Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the Board of Directors of the Company and a majority of the shares present at a duly called meeting of the shareholders of the Company held within twelve months of approval by the Board. However, Incentive Awards may be granted at any time following the approval of the Plan by the Board, but no shares may be issued pursuant to any Incentive Awards until the Plan has been approved by the shareholders, and all listing requirements of all securities exchanges on which the Jacobs Common Stock is listed have been satisfied.

 

18. Code Section 409A.

It is intended that the Incentive Awards granted pursuant to this Plan shall not constitute “deferrals of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and, as a result, shall not be subject to the requirements of Section 409A. The Plan is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intention.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, a new Incentive Award may not be issued if such Award would be subject to Section 409A of the Code, and an existing Incentive Award may not be modified in a manner that would cause such Award to become subject to Section 409A of the Code.
