(ii) “Initial Public Offering” shall mean the closing of the sale of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company in an underwritten public offering, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, that results in aggregate net proceeds to the Company and any selling stockholders of at least $100 million.
5. Performance Objectives. The Performance Objectives (as defined below) set forth in this Section 5 will be used to adjust the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4(a).
(a) Definitions. For purposes of this section:
(i) “Adjusted EBITDA” means the net income of FTS International Services, LLC (“FTSI Services”) before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization and as further adjusted to exclude amounts related to impairment of assets, gains and losses on disposals of assets, ownership-based compensation, other transaction costs (e.g., other costs related to asset sales and discontinued debt financing costs), miscellaneous revenue (e.g., rental income and deferred gain), severance costs and other non-recurring items, in each case as shown in the financial statements of FTSI Services.
(ii) “Adjusted EBITDA Goal” means for the year ending December 31, 2014, $[Compensation Committee to set Adjusted EBITDA Goal between $300 million and $350 million at February meeting].
(iii) “Company Financial Performance” means the Company’s financial performance measured by an Adjusted EBITDA Goal and a Revenue Goal.
(iv) “Company Performance Objectives” means the Company Financial Performance goals and the Company TRIR goal.
(v) “Company TRIR” means the Company’s total recordable incidence rate which measures the rate of recordable workplace injuries, normalized per 100 workers per year.
(vi) “Individual Performance Objective” means individual performance goals as set forth in Exhibit B.*
(vii) “Performance Objectives” means both the Company Performance Objectives and Individual Performance Objective.*
(viii) “Performance Objective Weight” means the weight given to each performance metric (i.e., the Adjusted EBITDA Goal metric, the Revenue Goal metric, the Company TRIR metric and the Individual Performance Objective* metric) by the Administrator as set forth in Exhibit A.
(ix) “Revenue” means revenue from services and equipment sales of FTSI Services to third parties and related parties as shown in the financial statements of FTSI Services.
* Note: Employees at the Director level and below will not have Individual Performance Objectives. All references to Individual Performance Objectives will be removed from their agreements.
(x) “Revenue Goal” means for the year ending December 31, 2014, $[Compensation Committee to set Revenue Goal between $2.0 billion and $2.5 billion at February meeting].
(b) Performance Objectives. The achievement of the Performance Objectives will be measured as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
(c) Number of Restricted Stock Units Earned. After December 31, 2014 and on or before March 31, 2015, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether and to what extent the goals relating to the Performance Objectives have been satisfied. After the Administrator has determined the level of performance achieved for each Performance Objective, the Administrator will then multiply each Performance Objective Weight by the applicable percent of target achieved (set forth in Exhibit A) to get the “Adjusted Weight” as described in this section below.
(i) Below Threshold. If performance is determined by the Administrator to fall below the threshold level for a given Performance Objective, the applicable Performance Objective Weight will be multiplied by 0%, the applicable percent of target achieved.
(ii) Threshold. If performance is determined by the Administrator to equal the threshold level for a given Performance Objective, the applicable Performance Objective Weight will be multiplied by 25%, the applicable percent of target achieved.
(iii) Between Threshold and Target. If performance is determined by the Administrator to exceed the threshold level, but is less than the target level for a given Performance Objective, the applicable Performance Objective Weight will be multiplied by a percentage between 25% and 100% (as set forth in Exhibit A), the applicable percent of target achieved.
(iv) Target. If performance is determined by the Administrator to equal the target level for a given Performance Objective, the applicable Performance Objective Weight will be multiplied by 100%, the applicable percent of target achieved.
(v) Between Target and Maximum. If performance is determined by the Administrator to exceed the target level, but is less than the maximum level for a given Performance Objective, the applicable Performance Objective Weight will be multiplied by a percentage between 100% and 200% (as set forth in Exhibit A), the applicable percent of target achieved.
(vi) Equals or Exceeds Maximum. If performance is determined by the Administrator to equal or exceed the maximum level for a given Performance Objective, the applicable Performance Objective Weight will be multiplied by 200%, the applicable percent of target achieved.
The Administrator will then sum the Adjusted Weights to get the “Performance Percentage.” Next, the Administrator will multiply the target number of Restricted Stock Units as set forth on the signature page to this Agreement by the Performance Percentage to get the “Number of Restricted Stock Units Earned.” The Administrator will then adjust the number of
Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement to equal the Number of Restricted Stock Units Earned.
6. Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units. Except as otherwise described in this Section 6, any of the Restricted Stock Units that remain forfeitable in accordance with Section 4 hereof shall be forfeited if Grantee ceases for any reason to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate at any time prior to such Restricted Stock Units becoming nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 4 hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Grantee’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, by reason of (a) the transfer of Grantee’s employment among the Company and its Affiliates, (b) an approved leave of absence of not more than 90 days under such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as maintained by the Company’s human resources department, or (c) the period of any leave of absence required to be granted by the Company under any law, rule, regulation or contract applicable to Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate.
7. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to Section 11, all Earned RSUs will be settled as soon as reasonably practicable following the date that they become Earned RSUs, and in any event within sixty (60) days following such date. At settlement, Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units shall be transferred to the Grantee, except as otherwise provided in Section 9; provided, however, that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle the award of Restricted Stock Units wholly or partly in cash.
8. Dividend, Voting and Other Rights. The Grantee shall have no rights of ownership in the Restricted Stock Units and shall have no voting rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units unless and until the date on which the Shares transferred to the Grantee pursuant to Section 7 above and a stock certificate representing such Shares is issued to the Grantee. From and after the Date of Award, the Company shall not pay to the Grantee any dividends with respect to the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Grantee receives the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units in accordance with Section 7 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee will be entitled to receive dividends declared on or after the Restricted Stock Units become Earned RSUs, and such dividends will be paid at settlement.
9. Retention of Common Stock by the Company; Withholding. The Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units shall be released to the Grantee by the Company’s transfer agent at the direction of the Company. At such time as the Restricted Stock Units become payable as specified in this Agreement, the Company shall direct the transfer agent to forward all such Shares to the Grantee; provided, however, that (a) the Company may withhold a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount the Company is then required to withhold for taxes and (b) the transfer agent will be directed to forward the remaining balance of Shares after the amount necessary for such taxes has been deducted. The cash, if any, paid to Grantee pursuant to Section 7 above shall be reduced by the minimum amount the Company is then required to withhold for taxes, as determined by the Administrator. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 are in all events subject to Section 11.
10. Compliance with Law. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares or other securities pursuant to this Agreement if the issuance thereof would, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, result in a violation of any such law.
11. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to comply, and will be administered in a manner that is intended to comply, with Section 409A of the Code and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an Award, issuance and/or payment is subject to Section 409A of the Code, it will be awarded and/or issued or paid in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including any applicable regulations or guidance issued by the Secretary of the United States Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto.
12. Other Agreements. If required by the Company, Grantee shall execute and deliver a counterpart or joinder agreement to any agreement, in the form required by the Company, as a condition to receiving any Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
13. Termination of Agreement and Restricted Stock Units. This Agreement will terminate on the ten-year (10-year) anniversary of the Date of Award and any Restricted Stock Units that remain forfeitable in accordance with Section 4 hereof shall be forfeited on such date.
14. Relation to Other Benefits. Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee under this Agreement shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled.
