reference to, shares of Common Stock, and that is deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Such stock-based Awards may include Awards granted in substitution for any other right of a Participant to receive payment of compensation from the Corporation or a Subsidiary.
6.6. Performance-Based Awards.
(a) In General: Any grant of an Award hereunder, and/or the vesting or exercise thereof, may be conditioned upon the attainment of Performance Goals established by the Committee.
(b) Qualified Performance-Based Awards: In the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award, the following provisions shall apply in addition to, and where necessary, in lieu of other provisions of the Plan:
(i) References to the “Committee” in this Section 6.6(b) shall refer to a committee appointed by the Board consisting of at least two members, each of whom shall be an “outside director” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.
(ii) Only Employees who are “Covered Employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code shall be eligible to receive Qualified Performance-Based Awards. The Committee shall designate in its sole discretion which Covered Employees will be Participants for a Performance Period within the earlier of the (x) first 90 days of a Performance Period and (y) the lapse of 25% of the Performance Period.
(iii) The Committee shall establish in writing within the earlier of the (x) first 90 days of a Performance Period and (y) the lapse of 25% of the Performance Period, and in any event, while the outcome is substantially uncertain, (A) Performance Goals for the Performance Period, and (B) in respect of such Performance Goals, a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no payment will be made, and an objective formula or other method for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above such minimum acceptable level but falls short of the maximum achievement of the specified Performance Goals.
(iv) Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee shall review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, to also calculate and certify in writing the amount of the Qualified Performance-Based Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance Goals and the related formulas or methods as determined pursuant to Section 6.5(iii). The Committee shall then determine the actual amount payable under each Participant’s Award for the Performance Period, and, in doing so, may reduce or eliminate, unless otherwise and/or to the extent provided in the Award Agreement, the amount of the Award. In no event shall the Committee have the authority to increase Award amounts to any Covered Employee.
- 36 -
(v) Awards granted or vesting with respect to a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants within a reasonable time after completion of the certification described in Section 6.5(iv).
6.7. Additional Provisions Applicable to Awards. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, or in substitution for, any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or any business entity acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any Subsidiary.
Section 7. Settlement of Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made pursuant to Awards under the Plan may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, shares of Common Stock, other Awards, or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, or on an installment basis.
Section 8. Exchange and Buy Out Provisions; Limitation on Repricing. The Committee may at any time offer to exchange or buy out any previously granted Award for a payment in cash, shares of Common Stock, other Awards, or other property based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine and communicate to a Participant at the time that such offer is made.
Section 9. Termination for Cause. A Participant who is terminated for Cause shall, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, immediately forfeit, effective as of the date the Participant engages in such conduct, all unexercised, unearned, and/or unpaid Awards, including, without limitation, Awards earned but not yet paid or exercised, all unpaid dividends and dividend equivalents, and all interest, if any, accrued on the foregoing.
Section 10. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization.
10.1. In the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, forward split or reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or share exchange, extraordinary or unusual cash distribution or other similar corporate transaction or event, the Committee may make such adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate, including without limitation, adjustments to (i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock which may thereafter be issued in connection with Awards, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, (iii) the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan, and (iv) the exercise or grant price relating to any Award; provided, however, in each case, that no adjustment shall be made that would (x) cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code with respect to Incentive Stock Options, (y) cause an Award to provide for the deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code, or (z) adversely affect the status of any Award that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award. Moreover, in the event of such transaction or event, the Committee may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under the Plan such alternative consideration as it may in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced.
- 37 -
10.2. The Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards, including any Performance Goals, in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, events described in Section 10.1) affecting the Company or any Subsidiary, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made in any outstanding Awards to the extent that such adjustment would adversely affect the status of an Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award.
Section 11. Termination and Amendment.
11.1. Changes to the Plan and Awards. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan without the consent of the Company’s stockholders or Participants, except that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders if such action would (i) increase the aggregate number of shares subject to the Plan (other than increases pursuant to Section 10 hereof), (ii) decrease the price at which Awards may be granted (other than decreases pursuant to Section 10 hereof), (iii) extend the maximum term of Awards under the Plan or the Plan itself, or (iv) make any other change that would require such stockholder approval pursuant to the terms of the Plan or any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may then be listed or quoted, and the Board may otherwise in its discretion, determine to submit other such changes to the Plan to the stockholders for approval. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate, any Award theretofore granted and any Award Agreement relating thereto.
11.2. The foregoing notwithstanding, any Performance Goal or other performance condition specified in connection with an Award shall not be deemed a fixed contractual term, but shall remain subject to adjustment by the Committee, in its discretion at any time in view of the Committee’s assessment of the Company’s strategy, performance of comparable companies, and other circumstances, except to the extent that any such adjustment to a performance condition would adversely affect the status of an Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award.
Section 12. No Right to Award, Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. For purposes of this Plan, transfer of employment between the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed a termination of employment. Nothing contained herein or in any individual Award Agreement shall be construed to confer on any Non-Employee Director any right to continue as a director of the Company or reduce any right of the Company, the Board or the stockholders of the Company to remove such Non-Employee Director as a director of the Company, with or without cause.
Section 13. Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary is authorized to withhold from any payment relating to an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Common Stock or any payroll or other payment to a Participant amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations
- 38 -
for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. The preceding sentence shall include authority to withhold or receive Common Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant’s tax obligations. Withholding of taxes in the form of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Award (including any net payments) shall not occur at a rate that exceeds the minimum required statutory federal and state withholding rates.
Section 14. Limits on Transferability; Beneficiaries. No Award or other right or interest of a Participant under the Plan shall be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to, or in favor of, or subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to, any party, other than the Company or any Subsidiary or assigned or transferred by such Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Awards and rights shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that Awards or other rights or interests of a Participant granted pursuant to the Plan (other than an Incentive Stock Option) be transferable, without consideration, to immediate family members (i.e., children, grandchildren or spouse), to trusts for the benefit of such immediate family members and to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners. The Committee may attach to such transferability feature such terms and conditions as it deems advisable. In addition, a Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary (which may be a person or a trust) to exercise the rights of the Participant, and to receive any distribution, with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant. A beneficiary, guardian, legal representative or other person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to such Participant, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.
Section 15. No Rights to Awards; No Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants. No Award shall confer on any Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until Common Stock is duly issued or transferred to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award.
Section 16. Foreign Nationals. Without amending the Plan, Awards may be granted to Employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or both, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to further the purpose of the Plan.
Section 17. Securities Law Requirements.
(a) No shares of Common Stock may be issued hereunder if the Company shall at any time determine that (i) the listing upon any securities exchange, registration or qualification under any state or federal law of any Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant an Award granted hereunder, or (ii) the consent or approval of any regulatory body or the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities, is necessary or appropriate in connection with such issuance. In any of the events referred to in clause (i) or
- 39 -
clause (ii) above, the issuance of such shares shall be suspended and shall not be effective unless and until such withholding, listing, registration, qualifications or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion, notwithstanding any termination of any Award or any portion of any Award during the period when issuance has been suspended.
(b) The Committee may require, as a condition to the issuance of shares hereunder, representations, warranties and agreements to the effect that such shares are being purchased or acquired by the Participant for investment only and without any present intention to sell or otherwise distribute such shares and that the Participant will not dispose of such shares in transactions which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, would violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as then amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The certificates issued to evidence such shares shall bear appropriate legends summarizing such restrictions on the disposition thereof.
Section 18. Termination. Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate on the 10-year anniversary of the effective date, and no Awards under the Plan shall thereafter be granted. No Award may be granted hereunder after termination of the Plan, but such termination shall not affect the validity of any Award then outstanding.
Section 19. Fractional Shares. The Company will not be required to issue any fractional shares pursuant to the Plan. The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions and for the settlement of fractions in cash.
Section 20. Discretion. In exercising, or declining to exercise, any grant of authority or discretion hereunder, the Committee may consider or ignore such factors or circumstances and may accord such weight to such factors and circumstances as the Committee alone and in its sole judgment deems appropriate and without regard to the effect such exercise, or declining to exercise such grant of authority or discretion, would have upon the affected Participant, any other Participant, any employee, the Company, any Subsidiary, any stockholder or any other person.
Section 21. Governing Law. The validity and construction of the Plan and any Award Agreements entered into thereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, but without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof.
Section 22. Adoption of Plan; Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the stockholders of the Company, and no Award shall become exercisable, realizable or vested prior to such approval.
