PROXY STATEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL INFORMATION
This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation on behalf
of the Board of Directors of Premark International, Inc. (the "Company") of
proxies to be voted at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company to be
held on May 4, 1994 and at any adjournment thereof. This proxy statement and the
accompanying form of proxy are being mailed to shareholders on or about March
25, 1994.
VOTING AT THE MEETING
The Board of Directors (the "Board") has fixed the close of business on March 8,
1994, as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the
meeting. On that date there were outstanding 31,811,862 shares of the Company's
common stock, each of which will be entitled to one vote. A majority of the
shares entitled to vote at the meeting will constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business.
Shares will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in a properly
executed proxy. If no instructions are indicated, such shares will be voted as
recommended by the Board. A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by
voting in person at the meeting, or by giving written notice of revocation or a
later-dated proxy to the Secretary of the Company at any time before the closing
of the polls at the meeting. The Company has appointed two officers of Chemical
Bank, transfer agent for the Company, as independent inspectors to act at the
meeting.
The Company's By-laws require the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes
cast at the meeting for the election of directors, and the affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes cast at the meeting for the approval of the independent
auditors. Federal securities law regulations require the affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares of the Company's common stock present, or represented,
and entitled to vote at the meeting, for the approval of the 1994 Incentive Plan
and for the approval of the material terms of performance-based incentives.
Broker non-votes are not treated as votes cast for purposes of any of the
matters to be voted on at the meeting. Abstentions are not treated as votes cast
for purposes of the election of directors and the approval of independent
auditors, but they are treated as present and, therefore, as votes against the
1994 Incentive Plan and the proposal to approve the material terms of
performance-based incentives.
1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board is divided into three classes of directors. At each annual meeting,
members of one of the classes, on a rotating basis, are elected for a three-year
term.
Four directors have been nominated by the Board for the term expiring at the
1997 annual meeting. The persons nominated are Clifford J. Grum, Bob Marbut,
David R. Parker and James M. Ringler, all of whom are currently directors of the
Company.
Unless otherwise specified, proxy votes will be cast for the election of all of
the nominees as directors. If any such person should be unavailable for
election, the Board may either reduce the number of directors accordingly or
designate a substitute nominee. In the latter event, it is intended that proxy
votes will be cast for the election of such substitute nominee. Shareholder
nominations of persons for election as directors are subject to the notice
requirements described under the caption "Other Matters" appearing later in this
proxy statement.
The following pages contain information concerning the nominees and the
directors whose terms of office will continue after the meeting. Unless
otherwise indicated, each such person has served for at least the past five
years in the principal business position currently or most recently held.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE
BENEFITS COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
The Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee (the "Committee") is
responsible for the establishment, oversight and administration of executive
compensation, benefit, and retirement plans. The Committee is composed entirely
of outside directors and generally meets 3 times each year.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
The executive compensation program is designed to achieve two principal
objectives. First, the program is intended to be fully competitive for the
purpose of enabling the Company to attract, motivate and retain talented
executives. Second, the program is intended to create an alignment of interests
between the Company's executives and shareholders such that a significant
portion of each executive's compensation varies with business unit and/or
Company performance.
The Committee's philosophy is to pay competitive annual salaries, coupled with a
leveraged incentive system that pays more than competitive total compensation
for performance exceeding financial goals, and less than competitive total
compensation for performance below financial goals. The leveraged incentive
system consists of annual and long-term cash incentive compensation, and stock
compensation consisting primarily of stock options and secondarily of restricted
stock.
The Committee determines compensation competitiveness by referring at least
annually to a variety of compensation survey data furnished by prominent
international consulting firms. The data include market values for base
salaries, bonuses, total cash compensation, options and various other long-term
incentives paid by companies with whom the Company may compete for executive
talent. In addition, the Company uses a comparator group consisting of companies
whose size, geographic diversity and product line diversification are similar to
the Company's. This group includes companies of varying performance levels. The
companies whose compensation data are represented in the various consultants'
surveys are not the same companies which comprise the comparator group index in
the Performance Graph included in this Proxy Statement. The Committee believes
that the Company's competitors for executive talent are not confined to those
companies that would be included in a comparator group established for comparing
shareholder returns.
The Committee believes, based on studies supplied by an independent consultant,
that the Company's compensation program for the Named Officers has the following
characteristics that serve to align executive interest with long-term
shareholder value creation:
-- The Company's program emphasizes "at risk" pay such as bonuses, options,
and long-term incentives.
-- The Company's program emphasizes long-term compensation such as options
and long-term incentives.
-- Incentive plan formulas are based on financial results rather than
individual performance against individual objectives.
In 1993, Congress enacted the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA) which,
among other things, establishes certain requirements in order for compensation
exceeding $1 million earned by certain senior executives to be deductible. The
Committee will attempt to conform executive compensation programs and payments
to OBRA's deductibility requirements; however, the Committee reserves the right
to forego deductibility if in its discretion it believes a particular
compensation program or payment is consistent with the overall best interests of
the Company and its shareholders. See the "Proposal to Approve the Material
Terms of Performance-Based Incentives to Assure Deductibility of Compensation
Exceeding $1 Million."
ANNUAL SALARIES
Salary ranges governing executives including the chief executive officer (the
CEO) and the other Named Officers are established annually based on the
competitive data described earlier. Within those ranges, individual salaries are
based upon the individual's work experience, performance, level of
responsibility, impact on the business, tenure and potential for advancement
within the organization. Annual salaries for newly-hired executives are
determined at time of hire taking into account the above factors other than
tenure. The CEO and chief operating officer receive salary increase
consideration at approximately 18 month intervals, while other senior executives
receive salary increase consideration at 12-15 month intervals.
Individual salary increases are based on the performance of the individual
executives and on the overall performance of the company in the case of the CEO.
Salary approvals of the CEO and the other Named Officers are made by the full
Board upon the recommendation of the Committee.
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES
The Company's annual cash incentive programs for executives are based on
financial performance, and are designed to promote the annual objectives of the
organization.
6
10
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Participants include the CEO, the other Named Officers, and other management
employees whose contributions influence annual financial results. The CEO's and
the other Named Officers' target incentive opportunities are subject to
Committee review and approval annually and are established as a percentage of
salary based on job level, impact on results, and the competitive data referred
to previously. The CEO's and other Named Officers' targets range from 50-65% of
annual salary, and awards based on financial performance range from 0 to 200% of
target.
Financial objectives are subject to review and approval by the Committee at the
beginning of each year; for 1993, net income was the financial measure for all
units and for the Company as a whole. Business units also were required to meet
a prescribed working capital turnover standard to qualify for any incentive
award. Because the Company far exceeded its net income performance goals, the
awards to Messrs. Batts, Goings, Ringler and Skatoff were equal to 200% of those
executives' targets, and to Mr. Deering, 152%. The average award to all the
Named Officers' was 188% of target.
The Committee certifies to the actual performance achieved as a precondition to
an award and reserves the right, in all cases, to reduce or withhold any
formula-based award that, in its judgment, is inappropriate in light of overall
results and circumstances. The Committee has reserved the right to interpret
financial results, and to determine the proper treatment to be given to
nonrecurring items or extraordinary gains and losses. See, however, the
discussion in the "Proposal to Approve the Material Terms of Performance-Based
Incentives to Assure Deductibility of Compensation Exceeding $1 Million" for the
treatment of similar issues in the future.
In certain cases, guaranteed minimum annual incentives may be agreed to at the
time an executive is recruited. Such a guaranteed minimum was established as
part of the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Goings. See
"Change-of-Control Arrangements and Employment Contracts."
LONG-TERM INCENTIVES
The Company's long-term cash incentive programs are based on financial
performance, and are designed both to promote the long-term objectives of the
organization, and to serve as a retention incentive. Participants include the
CEO and the other Named Officers as well as key employees who are in a position
to make substantial contributions to the accomplishment of the long-term
financial objectives of the organization. Each participant's target incentive
opportunity is established as a percentage of salary, and is based on job level,
impact on results, and the competitive data referred to previously. The CEO's
and the other Named Officers' targets range from 25 - 32.5% of annual salary,
and awards based on financial performance range from 0 to 300% of target.
Financial objectives are subject to review and approval by the Committee at the
beginning of each performance period; for 1993, net income was the financial
measure for all units and for the Company as a whole. Because the Company far
exceeded its 1993 net income goals, awards to Messrs. Batts, Goings, Ringler and
Skatoff were equal to 300% of those individual executives' targets, and to Mr.
Deering, 228%. The average award to all the Named Officers was 282% of target.
As described in the Long-Term Incentive Awards Table, and as shown in the "Other
Annual Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table, these awards are
not deemed earned and payable until an additional year of continued employment
has been satisfied.
The Committee certifies to the actual performance achieved as a precondition to
an award and reserves the right in all cases to reduce or withhold any
formula-based award that in its judgment is inappropriate in light of overall
results and circumstances. The Committee has reserved the right to interpret
financial results, and to determine the treatment to be given to nonrecurring
items or extraordinary gains and losses. See, however, the discussion in the
"Proposal to Approve the Material Terms of Performance-Based Incentives to
Assure Deductibility of Compensation Exceeding $1 Million" for the treatment of
similar issues in the future.
STOCK OPTIONS
The grant of options to key employees encourages equity ownership and closely
aligns management interest with the interests of shareholders. Additionally,
because options are subject to forfeiture if the employee leaves the Company
prior to their becoming exercisable, they provide an incentive to remain with
the Company long-term. The Company has guidelines regarding the accumulation of
designated levels of Company stock over time by senior officers.
Stock options are granted annually to the CEO and the other Named Officers, and
to other key employees having strategic impact on product, staffing, technology,
pricing, investment or policy matters. The Committee determines annually the
aggregate number of options granted and each individual grant to the CEO and the
other Named Officers based on competitive norms derived from the survey sources
referred to previously. The option price for shares is the fair market value of
the shares on the date of grant. Options granted in 1993 are not exercisable
until three years from the date of grant.

RESTRICTED STOCK
The Company no longer makes grants of restricted stock as part of its regular
long-term incentive program, but restricted stock is awarded in certain special
circumstances as a retention or performance incentive, as in the case of Mr.
Goings, or, as in the case of Messrs. Ringler, Deering, and Skatoff, as
compensation for the forfeited value of incentive or stock awards at previous
employers.
CORPORATE PERFORMANCE & CEO PAY
Taking into account Mr. Batts' tenure, salary level, competitive salary data of
other CEOs of similar-sized organizations, and Mr. Batts' recent compensation
history, the Board made a $50,000 adjustment from $650,000 to $700,000 to Mr.
Batts' salary in 1993.
In 1993, the Company had record net income of $172.5 million because of strong
Tupperware performance, improvement in most other units, and a reduced corporate
tax rate. Net income for 1993 increased 49% from 1992's $116 million, excluding
the effects on 1992's results from the charge for restructuring the Tupperware
U.S. operations and the adoption of two new accounting standards. Sales were up
5% to $3.1 billion.
Based on the above results, which surpassed net income goals, Mr. Batts was
awarded a maximum annual incentive award of $910,000 (200% of target), up 160%
from $350,000 in 1992. Mr. Batts' 1993 total of base salary and annual incentive
award increased 59.3% to $1,593,333 from $1,000,000 in 1992. The Committee
believes this award, and Mr. Batts' total of base and bonus for 1993,
approaches the 75th percentile of pay for Company performance at approximately
the same level.
Again due to having surpassed 1993's net income goals, Mr. Batts was awarded the
maximum of $682,500 under the 1993-1994 Long-Term Incentive Plan (300% of
target), which amount will not be earned and payable unless Mr. Batts continues
in the Company's employment until such award becomes payable in January, 1995.
The Committee believes this award to be in keeping with the Company's fine 1993
performance. In recognition of the Company's progress under Mr. Batts'
leadership toward its long-term goal of increasing shareholder value, the
Committee granted Mr. Batts a special bonus award of $500,000. It is not
expected that this will be a recurring event.
The Committee granted 15,000 option shares to Mr. Batts, taking into
consideration the scope of his responsibility, competitive awards granted to
CEOs at like-sized organizations, the number of options previously granted to
Mr. Batts, and Company performance. The Committee believes this option award to
be competitive, yet somewhat smaller than a typical award for CEOs of like-sized
organizations.

(1) These options will become exercisable on November 2, 1996.
(2) Stock options are granted at the average fair market value of the Company's
common stock on the date of grant rounded up to the nearest nickel. The
term of each option is 10 years and 1 day. The option price may be higher
or lower than average fair market value at the discretion of the
Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee, but no price has been other
than fair market value to date. The Stock Option Plan provides that in the
event of a Change of Control of the Company, all options will become
immediately exercisable and the optionee will have the right to receive the
difference between the exercise price and the then fair market value of
common stock in cash.
(3) The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used assuming a dividend yield
of 2%, a risk-free interest rate of 5.29%, an historical stock price
volatility of 30%, and an expected option life based on historical
experience of 6 years. The attribution of values with the Black-Scholes
model to stock option grants requires adoption of certain assumptions, as
described above. While believed to be reasonable, the reader is cautioned
not to infer a forecast of earnings or dividends either from the model's
use or from the values adopted for the model's assumptions. Any future
values realized will ultimately depend upon the excess of the stock price
over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Non-employee directors receive (i) an
annual retainer fee of $22,000, (ii) an
additional retainer fee for serving on
Board committees (other than the
Executive Committee) of $3,000 per year,
in the case of the committee chairperson,
and $1,000 per year, in the case of the
other members, and (iii) a fee of $1,000
for each meeting of the Board and for
each meeting of any committee attended.
Such directors may elect to defer payment
of all or part of the retainer and
attendance fees, in which event interest
would be credited at the prime rate.
Currently, no director has elected to
defer fees. Under the Company's Director
Stock Plan, non-employee directors may
elect to receive their annual retainers
in cash or in shares of Premark common
stock, or they may elect to apply the
retainer toward a reduced price on stock
options. The Plan also provides that a
grant of 1,000 shares of common stock is
made to each new non-employee director
after three months of service on the
Board.
The following table sets forth the
retainers and fees paid to each
non-employee director for services in
1993:

CHANGE-OF-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS AND
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
The Company has entered into employment agreements with all of the Named
Officers, which would become effective for a period of 3 years following a
Change of Control. Such agreements require that the Named Officer continue to be
employed in a substantially identical position. In the event that the employment
of the person is terminated other than for cause or the person terminates
employment within the 30-day period following the 1 year anniversary of the
Change of Control for any reason, or at any time if there occurs one or more
significantly unfavorable changes in the terms and conditions of his or her
employment, each person would receive a lump sum equal to (a) 3 times the sum of
(i) annual base salary and (ii) the most recent award under the Annual Incentive
Plan, plus (b) a prorated maximum award for the current year. The amount of any
other severance payments would be subtracted from the amount payable under the
employment agreement.
If any payment would constitute an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning
of Section 280G(b) of the Code, the Company will make the person whole with
respect to any additional taxes due. In addition, each person will receive
lifetime medical benefits substantially similar to those provided at the time of
the Change of Control.
In November 1992, the Corporation entered into an employment agreement with Mr.
Goings which provides for a beginning annual salary of $325,000, a guaranteed
minimum annual incentive of $162,500 payable in 1994 for fiscal year 1993, and a
guaranteed minimum long-term incentive of $81,500, payable in 1995 for the
1993-1994 incentive cycle. Reflected in the Summary Compensation Table is a 1992
one-time cash payment of $150,000 which replaced the cash incentive award Mr.
Goings forfeited when he left his previous employer.
For the years 1994, 1995 and 1996, Mr. Goings will participate in an annual
gainsharing program to be based on pre-tax segment income of Tupperware North
America. Any gainsharing awards earned will be payable 50% in cash and 50% in
restricted stock. The restrictions on the stock will lapse two years following
the date of the award. Dividends will be paid on the restricted stock during the
periods of restriction.
In addition to the annual gainsharing program, Mr. Goings will participate in
annual incentive programs based on non-North-American Tupperware operations.
To replace stock compensation forfeited when Mr. Goings left his previous
employer, he was granted a stock option for 50,000 shares which will become
exercisable three years following the date of grant. He was awarded 20,000
shares of restricted stock which vest in one-third increments annually over a
three-year period from date of award.
In the event Mr. Goings is terminated without cause, he will receive an amount
equal to 2 times his base salary, offset by the Company's severance pay plan.

2. PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee, the Board has appointed Price
Waterhouse as independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1994, which appointment will be proposed for ratification at the
meeting. Price Waterhouse served as independent auditors of the Company for
fiscal year 1993.
Services performed by Price Waterhouse as independent auditors for the 1993
fiscal year included, among others: the annual audit of the consolidated
financial statements; audits or limited reviews of financial and related
information included in filings with governmental and regulatory agencies,
including audits of certain foreign subsidiaries in accordance with local
statutory requirements and audits of domestic employee benefit plans and trusts;
and consultations in connection with various financial reporting, accounting,
tax and other matters.
Representatives of Price Waterhouse will be present at the meeting to respond to
questions of shareholders.
Approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares voted. In the event the proposal is not approved, the Board will consider
the negative vote as a mandate to appoint other independent auditors for the
next fiscal year.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF
PRICE WATERHOUSE AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.
3. PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE PREMARK
INTERNATIONAL, INC. 1994 INCENTIVE PLAN
The shareholders are asked to approve the Premark International, Inc. 1994
Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
The Plan was adopted on January 24, 1994 by the Board, subject to shareholder
approval. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success and enhance the
value of the Company by linking the interest of Plan participants to those of
shareholders.
Upon approval of the Plan by shareholders, the following existing plans of the
Company will automatically be terminated: Stock Option Plan, Restricted Stock
Plan, Annual Incentive Plan, Performance Unit Plan and Phantom Stock Unit
Appreciation Plan (the "Prior Plans"). The Board believes that the incentives
created by the Prior Plans have contributed to the Company's attraction and
retention of superior employees and its financial performance since 1986, and
the incentives which will be created by this Plan will continue that
contribution.
The following description of the components of the Plan is subject to the Plan
provisions as set forth in Annex I to this Proxy Statement.
AVAILABLE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK The number of shares of Common Stock
available for stock-based awards under the Plan will be 1,150,000 initially, or
approximately 3.6% of shares outstanding at March 8, 1994. Only 150,000 of such
shares may be made available for the issuance of Restricted Stock Awards under
the Plan. In addition, any shares remaining available for issuance under the
Prior Plans shall be transferred to the Plan. As of March 8, 1994, 178,300
shares remained available for grants under the Stock Option Plan, and 93,020
shares remained available for grants under the Restricted Stock Plan.
For every share repurchased by the Company after shareholder approval of the
Plan, an additional share shall become available for stock options under the
Plan, up to a maximum of 1,500,000 additional shares. The Company announced in
May 1993 its intent to purchase up to 3,000,000 of the Company's shares to be
used to satisfy the exercise of employee stock options as well as for other
general corporate needs, and as of March 8, 1994 has purchased approximately
990,000 shares. In 1990, the Company also purchased 3,500,000 shares.
In the event of a corporate restructuring of the Company affecting the shares,
the number of shares available under the Plan, and the number, class and price
of shares subject to outstanding awards under the Plan, would be adjusted to
prevent dilution or enlargement of rights under the Plan or any awards.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN The Plan will be administered by the Compensation
and Employee Benefits Committee of the Board (the "Committee"), which shall be
composed of non-employee, independent members of the Board who shall qualify as
"disinterested directors" pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. The Committee may delegate its duties to the Chief Executive
Officer and other members of management, except that awards and matters relating
to the officers of the Company shall be made or administered only by the
Committee.
TYPES OF AWARDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE PLAN The following types of awards may be
made under the Plan: performance awards, stock options, stock appreciation
rights, and restricted stock awards.
PERFORMANCE AWARDS Performance awards will be used to create annual and
long-term incentives, which are a major component of the Company's management
incentive program. The Committee has the discretion to establish the nature of
the performance measures, the individual targets applicable to such measures,
and the maximum awards to participants, as well as the right to make adjustments
which may be necessary. Performance measures may include any deemed appropriate
by the Committee, including without limitation, Economic Value Added, net
income, working capital turns, segment profit, cash flow, share price, market
share, sales, or earnings per share. Goals may be established which focus on
specific performance by individuals or units within the Company, as well as the
Company as a whole. The Committee will establish target levels for each
performance measure, with different levels of awards to be paid for each level.
See the discussion under "Proposal to Approve Material Terms of
Performance-Based Incentives to Assure Deductibility of Compensation Exceeding
$1 Million."
The Committee may establish different measures for different management groups.
For instance, the 1994 annual and 1994-1996 long-term incentives for the Chief
Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer and the corporate staff officers
will be based upon Economic Value Added, a concept that measures net operating
profit after taxes, less a charge for the Company's cost of capital. While
certain of the Company's business unit management also will have long-term
incentives based upon Economic Value Added, their annual incentives will be
based primarily upon net income and working capital turns. See the table of New
Plan Benefits appearing on page 19 of this Proxy Statement for amounts that
could be earned commencing in 1994 under this Plan.
These awards may be payable either in cash, shares, or a combination of cash and
shares. Awards may also be established in which the Committee requires the
payment of a purchase price.
STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS Stock options may be issued under
the Plan in the form of "non-qualified" or "incentive" stock options. Stock
appreciation rights may be issued either in tandem with Stock Options or on a
free-standing basis. No individual Plan participant may be awarded stock options
or stock appreciation rights for shares of Common Stock exceeding 10% of the
shares available for issuance under the Plan. The exercise price of a stock
option or stock appreciation right may not be less than the fair market value of
the price of a share of Common Stock on the date of the grant, and neither stock
options nor stock appreciation rights may be repriced after grant without
shareholder approval. A stock option or stock appreciation right may not be
exercisable prior to six months following the date of grant, or exercisable
after the tenth anniversary of its date of grant. The Company's practice over
the past five years has been to grant stock options with three-year vesting
periods except in isolated cases with newly-hired senior officers. Payment of
the exercise price of a stock option may be in cash, in shares having a fair
market value equal to the aggregate exercise price, or a combination of cash and
shares.
There are no federal income tax consequences to either the Company or the
participant as a result of the grant of either a "non-qualified" or "incentive"
stock option, or upon the exercise of an "incentive" stock option. Upon the
exercise of a "non-qualified" stock option, however, federal income, state
income and social security taxes are payable by the participant based upon the
difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on
the date of exercise, and a deduction is available to the Company for the same
amount.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS The Committee may make restricted stock awards which
shall be subject to periods of restrictions of not less than six months in
length. During periods of restriction, participants may vote the shares and, if
permitted by the Committee, receive dividends declared upon the shares. Shares
will be forfeited by participants if they cease to be employed by the Company
prior to the lapse of restrictions, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee.
GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE PLAN The term of the Plan shall be ten
years from the date of approval by shareholders. Any full-time employee of the
Company and its subsidiaries as selected by the Committee is eligible to
participate in the Plan. In the event of a Change in Control
17
21
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as defined by the Plan, all outstanding awards immediately
shall become vested and exercisable, with certain exceptions as provided in the
Plan. Awards under the Plan may not be transferred except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, except that awards may be transferrable to immediate
family members if permitted by the Committee. The payment of awards under the
Plan may be deferred under certain circumstances, at the discretion of the
Committee. The Committee has the authority to establish the rights of
participants in all events of termination of employment, including death,
disability, retirement or resignation, except that termination for cause results
in immediate forfeiture of any awards under the Plan.
The Board may terminate, modify or amend the Plan, except that no modifications
may be made without shareholder approval which would (i) increase shares
available, (ii) modify eligibility requirements, or (iii) materially increase
benefits.
The closing price of a share of Common Stock on March 8, 1994 was $82 3/4.
Approval of the Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
present, or represented, and entitled to vote at the meeting.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE PREMARK
INTERNATIONAL, INC. 1994 INCENTIVE PLAN.
4. PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE MATERIAL TERMS OF PERFORMANCE-BASED INCENTIVES TO
ASSURE DEDUCTIBILITY OF COMPENSATION EXCEEDING $1 MILLION
Under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA"), public companies
may no longer deduct for tax purposes compensation in excess of $1 million per
year paid to its CEO and other officers whose compensation is reported in the
proxy statement. Stock options and other performance-based compensation which
meet certain OBRA requirements, including shareholder approval and/or the
institution of share grant limits as in the case of stock option grants, will
not be subject to the $1 million limit.
The shareholders are asked to approve the material terms of the
performance-based incentives established for the Company's senior officers, in
order to satisfy the requirements of OBRA with respect to the deductibility of
this compensation. The material terms consist of the following: (i) the
individuals eligible to receive compensation, (ii) the business criteria on
which annual and long-term performance incentives are based, and (iii) the
maximum amounts of compensation payable.
ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS
The senior officers who are eligible for performance-based incentive awards
shall include those individuals holding the following positions: Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and such other elected officers whose
compensation may in any year be reportable in the Company's proxy statement.
BUSINESS CRITERIA
The Board believes the primary objective of management to be the long-term
creation of shareholder value. In keeping with this belief, the Board empowers
the Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee of the Board to prescribe
annual and long-term performance-based incentives based on business criteria
such as the following: net income, segment profit, or Economic Value Added
(defined as net operating profit after taxes less a capital charge).
Commencing in 1994, the Annual Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan will use
Economic Value Added goals for the CEO and other corporate executives. The goals
for business unit executives shall be Economic Value Added, net income, segment
profit and/or working capital turns.
The financial measurements used in performance goals shall exclude the effects
of changes in accounting standards and non-recurring unusual events, such as
write-
18
22
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
offs, capital gains and losses, and acquisitions and dispositions of businesses.
However, the Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee retains the discretion
to reduce performance-based incentive awards as a result of such events, and to
interpret the plan or any award in accordance with its terms.
MAXIMUMS
The annual performance-based award and long-term performance-based award payable
in any year to any senior officer will be a maximum of 130% of salary and 195%
of salary, respectively. Awards paid will be based on a percentage of a
participant's salary at the end of the performance period. Salaries will change
from time to time. In no event will annual incentive payouts exceed $1.1 million
or long-term incentive payouts exceed $2 million in any year. As illustrated in
the table below, financial results would need to significantly exceed target
levels for any executive to approach these levels, and only the CEO is expected
to have the opportunity in the foreseeable future of approaching these amounts.
The following table sets forth the range of annual and long-term
performance-based compensation that could be earned for the periods shown if the
target and maximum levels of performance for the business criteria stated above
are satisfied. In order for any incentive payments to be made, the Company must
achieve certain threshold levels of performance. The long-term incentive targets
and maximums are amounts applicable only to the first three-year cycle in the
new long-term incentive program. It is expected that these amounts as a
percentage of salary will be one-half these levels in subsequent cycles.

attract, and retain the services of Participants upon whose judgment, interest,

Options under this proviso; and provided further that the total number of such
available Shares that may be used for Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan

unissued or reacquired Shares.
The following rules will apply for purposes of the determination of the number
of Shares available for grant under the Plan:
(a) While an Award is outstanding, it shall be counted against the
authorized pool of Shares, regardless of its vested status.
(b) The grant of an Option or Restricted Stock shall reduce the Shares
available for grant under the Plan by the number of Shares subject to such
Award.
(c) The grant of a Tandem SAR shall not reduce the number of Shares
available for grant by the number of Shares subject to the related Option
(i.e., there is no double counting of Options and their related Tandem
SARs).
(d) The grant of a Freestanding SAR shall reduce the number of Shares
available for grant by the number of Freestanding SARs granted.
(e) The Committee shall reduce the appropriate number of Shares from
the authorized pool where a Performance Award is payable in Shares.
(f) The Shares subject to outstanding Awards under Prior Plans which
are transferred to this Plan in accordance with Article 19 shall not reduce
the number of Shares available for grant hereunder. The number of Shares
reserved for use under the Prior Plans, upon transfer to this Plan in
accordance with Article 19, shall be in addition to the total amount of
Shares available for grant under this Plan as set forth in the first
sentence of this Section 4.1.
4.2 LAPSED AWARDS. If any Award granted under this Plan is cancelled,
forfeited, terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason (with the exception of
the termination of a Tandem SAR upon exercise of the related Option or the
termination of a related Option upon exercise of the corresponding Tandem SAR),
any Shares subject to such Award again shall be available for the grant of an
Award under the Plan. However, in the event that prior to the Award's
cancellation, forfeiture, termination, expiration, or lapse, the holder of the
Award at any time received one or more "benefits of ownership" pursuant to such
Award (as
A-4
28
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to any rule or
interpretation promulgated under Section 16 or any successor rule of the
Exchange Act), the Shares subject to such Award shall not be made available for
regrant under the Plan to Insiders, but shall be available for regrants under
the Plan to Participants who are not Insiders.
4.3 ADJUSTMENTS IN AUTHORIZED SHARES AND PRICES. In the event of any merger,
reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock
dividend, split-up, spin-off, Share combination, or other change in the
corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares, such adjustment shall
be made in the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan,
and in the number, class and/or price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards
granted under the Plan, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by
the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of
rights; and provided that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always
be a whole number.
ARTICLE 5. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
5.1 ELIGIBILITY. Persons eligible to participate in this Plan include all
Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as determined by the Committee,
including Employees who are members of the Board, but excluding Directors who
are not Employees.
5.2 ACTUAL PARTICIPATION. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee may, from time to time, select from all eligible Employees, those to
whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each
Award.
ARTICLE 6. STOCK OPTIONS
6.1 GRANT OF OPTIONS. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan,
Options may be granted to Employees at any time and from time to time as shall
be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have discretion in
determining the number of Shares subject to Options granted to each Participant.
The Committee may grant ISOs, NQSOs, or a combination thereof. The maximum
number of Options which are available under the Plan for award to any individual
Participant over the duration of the Plan shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of
the amount of shares available under the Plan for issuance in the form of
Options, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.
6.2 AWARD AGREEMENT. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the duration of the Option, the
number of Shares to which the Option pertains, and such other provisions as the
Committee shall determine. The Option Agreement also shall specify whether the
Option is intended to be an ISO within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code,
or a NQSO whose grant is intended not to fall under Section 422 of the Code.
6.3 OPTION PRICE. The Option Price for each grant of an Option shall be
determined by the Committee; provided that the Option Price shall not be less
than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted, subject
to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3 herein. Options may not be repriced
without shareholder approval.
6.4 DURATION OF OPTIONS. Each Option shall expire at such time as the
Committee shall determine at the time of grant; provided, however, that no
Option shall be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary date of its
grant.
6.5 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable
at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the
Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each
grant or for each Participant. However, in no event may any Option granted under
this Plan become exercisable prior to six (6) months following the date of its
grant.
6.6 PAYMENT. (a) Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written
notice of exercise to the Company, setting forth the number of Shares with
respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for
the Shares.
(b) The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the
Company in full either: (i) in cash or its equivalent, or (ii) by tendering to
the Company, or certifying ownership by the Participant to the satisfaction of
the Company of, previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value
at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price (provided that the
Shares which are tendered or certified must have been held by the Participant
for at least six (6) months prior to their tender or certification), or (iii) by
a combination of (i) and (ii).
(c) The Committee also may allow cashless exercise as permitted under Federal
Reserve Board's Regulation T, subject to applicable securities law restrictions,
or by any other means which the Committee determines to be consistent with the
Plan's purpose and applicable law.
(d) As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise
and full payment, the Company shall deliver to the Participant Share
certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the number of Shares purchased
under the Option(s).
A-5
29
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.7 RESTRICTIONS ON SHARE TRANSFERABILITY. The Committee may impose such
restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option under
the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions
under applicable Federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock
exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and
under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.
6.8 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. No Options granted under the Plan may be
sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated,
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, all
Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his
or her lifetime only by such Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the
discretion of the Committee, an Award Agreement may permit the transferability
of an Option by a Participant solely to members of the Participant's immediate
family or trusts or partnerships for the benefit of such persons.
ARTICLE 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
7.1 GRANT OF SARS. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a SAR may
be granted to an Employee at any time and from time to time as shall be
determined by the Committee. The Committee may grant Freestanding SARs, Tandem
SARs, or any combination of these forms of SAR. The maximum number of SARs which
are available under the Plan for award to any individual Participant over the
duration of the Plan shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount of shares
available under the Plan for issuance in the form of SARs, as may be adjusted
pursuant to the Plan.
The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of SARs
granted to each Participant (subject to Article 4 herein) and, consistent with
the provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and conditions pertaining
to such SARs. However, the grant price of a Freestanding SAR shall be at least
equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the SAR. The
grant price of Tandem SARs shall equal the Option Price of the related Option.
In no event shall any SAR granted hereunder become exercisable within the first
six (6) months of its grant. SARs may not be repriced without shareholder
approval.
7.2 EXERCISE OF TANDEM SARS. Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of
the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to
exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option. A Tandem SAR may be
exercised only with respect to the Shares for which its related Option is then
exercisable.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, with respect
to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO: (i) the Tandem SAR will
expire no later than the expiration of the underlying ISO; (ii) the value of the
payout with respect to the Tandem SAR may be for no more than one hundred
percent (100%) of the difference between the Option Price of the underlying ISO
and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying ISO at the
time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and (iii) the Tandem SAR may be exercised only
when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the ISO exceeds the Option
Price of the ISO.
7.3 EXERCISE OF FREESTANDING SARS. Freestanding SARs may be exercised upon
whatever terms and conditions the Committee, at its sole discretion, imposes
upon them.
7.4 SAR AGREEMENT. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement
that shall specify the grant price, the term of the SAR, and such other
provisions as the Committee shall determine.
7.5 TERM OF SARS. The term of a SAR granted under the Plan shall be
determined by the Committee, at its sole discretion; provided, however, that
such term shall not exceed ten (10) years.
7.6 PAYMENT OF SAR AMOUNT. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be
entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by
multiplying:
(a) The excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
exercise over the grant price of the SAR; by
(b) The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.
At the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in
cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.
7.7 RULE 16B-3 REQUIREMENTS. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
the Committee may impose such conditions on exercise of a SAR (including,
without limitation, the right of the Committee to limit the time of exercise to
specified periods) as may be required to satisfy the requirements of any rule or
interpretation promulgated under Section 16 (or any successor rule) of the
Exchange Act.
7.8 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF SARS. No SAR granted under the Plan may be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned, or
A-6
30
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Further, all SARs granted to a Participant under the
Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the discretion of the Committee, an Award
Agreement may permit the transferability of a SAR by a Participant solely to
members of the Participant's immediate family or trusts or partnerships for the
benefit of such persons.
ARTICLE 8. RESTRICTED STOCK
8.1 GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Subject to the terms and provisions of the
Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of
Restricted Stock to eligible Employees in such amounts as the Committee shall
determine.
8.2 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT. Each Restricted Stock grant shall be
evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement that shall specify the Period of
Restriction, or Periods, the number of Restricted Stock Shares granted, and such
other provisions as the Committee shall determine.
8.3 TRANSFERABILITY. Except as provided in this Article 8, the Shares of
Restricted Stock granted herein may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned,
or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of
Restriction established by the Committee and specified in the Restricted Stock
Agreement, or upon earlier satisfaction of any other conditions, as specified by
the Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the Restricted Stock
Agreement. However, in no event may any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan
become vested in a Participant prior to six (6) months following the date of its
grant. All rights with respect to the Restricted Stock granted to a Participant
under the Plan shall be available during his or her lifetime only to such
Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the discretion of the Committee,
an Award Agreement may permit the transferability of a Restricted Stock Award by
a Participant solely to members of the Participant's immediate family or trusts
or partnerships for the benefit of such persons, subject to any Period of
Restriction.
8.4 CERTIFICATE LEGEND. Each certificate representing Shares of Restricted
Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may bear the following legend:
"The sale or other transfer of the Shares of stock represented by this
certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law,
is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the
Premark International, Inc. 1994 Incentive Plan, and in a Restricted
Stock Agreement. A copy of the Plan and such Restricted Stock
Agreement may be obtained from Premark International, Inc."
The Company shall have the right to retain the certificates representing
Shares of Restricted Stock in the Company's possession until such time as all
conditions and/or restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied.
8.5 REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8,
Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the
Plan shall become freely transferable by the Participant after the last day of
the Period of Restriction. Once the Shares are released from the restrictions,
the Participant shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 8.4
removed from his or her Share certificate.
8.6 VOTING RIGHTS. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding
Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights
with respect to those Shares.
8.7 DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. The Committee shall have the
discretion to determine whether Participants who have been granted Restricted
Stock will be entitled to dividends and other distributions paid on Shares
during the Period of Restriction, and if so, the date of receipt. If any such
dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares shall be subject to
the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of
Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. In the event that any
dividend constitutes a "derivative security" or an "equity security" pursuant to
Rule 16(a) under the Exchange Act, such dividend shall be subject to a vesting
period equal to the longer of: (i) the remaining vesting period of the Shares of
Restricted Stock with respect to which the dividend is paid; or (ii) six months.
The Committee shall establish procedures for the application of this provision.
ARTICLE 9. PERFORMANCE AWARDS
9.1 GRANT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Subject to the terms of the Plan,
Performance Awards may be granted to eligible Employees at any time and from
time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have
complete discretion in determining the number, amount and timing of Awards
granted to each Participant. Such Performance Awards may take the form
determined by the Committee, including without limitation, cash, Shares,
Performance Units and Performance Shares, or any combination thereof.
Performance Awards may be awarded as short-term or long-term incentives.
A-7
31
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.2 PERFORMANCE GOALS. (a) The Committee shall set performance goals at its
discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine
the number and/or value of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the
Participants, and may attach to such Performance Awards one or more
restrictions, including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay
a stipulated purchase price for each Performance Share, or restrictions which
are necessary or desirable as a result of applicable laws or regulations.
Performance goals may be based upon, without limitation, Company-wide,
divisional, project team, and/or individual performance.
(b) The Committee shall have the authority at any time to make adjustments to
performance goals for any outstanding Performance Awards which the Committee
deems necessary or desirable unless at the time of establishment of goals the
Committee shall have precluded its authority to make such adjustments.
(c) Performance Periods shall, in all cases, exceed six (6) months in length.
9.3 VALUE OF PERFORMANCE UNITS/SHARES. (a) Each Performance Unit shall have
an initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of grant.
(b) Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.
9.4 EARNING OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. After the applicable Performance Period
has ended, the holder of Performance Awards shall be entitled to receive the
payout earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined
as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals have
been achieved, except as adjusted pursuant to Section 9.2(b) or as deferred
pursuant to Article 11.
9.5 TIMING OF PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Payment of earned Performance
Awards shall be made in accordance with terms and conditions prescribed or
authorized by the Committee. Participants may elect to defer, or the Committee
may require the deferral of, the receipt of Performance Awards upon such terms
as the Committee deems appropriate.
9.6 NONTRANSFERABILITY. Performance Awards may not be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, a Participant's rights under
the Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the
Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at
the discretion of the Committee, an Award Agreement may permit the
transferability of a Performance Award by a Participant solely to members of the
Participant's immediate family or trusts or partnerships for the benefit of such
persons.
ARTICLE 10. BENEFICIARY
10.1 DESIGNATION. Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time,
name any Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or
successively). Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the
same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and shall be
effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during
the Participant's lifetime. Any such designation shall control over any
inconsistent testamentary or intervivos transfer by a Participant, and any
benefit of a Participant under the Plan shall pass automatically to a
Participant's Beneficiary pursuant to a proper designation pursuant to this
Section 10.1 without administration under any statute or rule of law governing
the transfer of property by will, trust, gift or intestacy.
10.2 ABSENCE OF DESIGNATION. In the absence of any such designation
contemplated by Section 10.1, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's
death shall be paid pursuant to the Participant's will or pursuant to the laws
of descent and distribution.
ARTICLE 11. DEFERRALS
The Committee may permit a Participant to elect, or the Committee may require
at its sole discretion subject to the proviso set forth below, any one or more
of the following: (i) the deferral of the Participant's receipt of cash, (ii) a
delay in the exercise of an Option or SAR, (iii) a delay in the lapse or waiver
of restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock, or (iv) a delay of the
satisfaction of any requirements or goals with respect to Performance Awards;
provided, however, the Committee's authority to take such actions hereunder
shall exist only to the extent necessary to reduce or eliminate a limitation on
the deductibility of compensation paid to the Participant pursuant to (and so
long as such action in and of itself does not constitute the exercise of
impermissible discretion under) Section 162(m) of the Code, or any successor
provision thereunder. If any such deferral is required or permitted, the
Committee shall establish rules and procedures for such deferrals, including
provisions relating to periods of deferral, the terms of payment following the
expiration of the deferral periods, and the rate of earnings, if any, to be
credited to any amounts deferred thereunder.
A-8
32
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARTICLE 12. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES
12.1 EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way
the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment at any time,
nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the
Company. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant
between the Company and any one of its Subsidiaries (or between Subsidiaries)
shall not be deemed a termination of employment.
12.2 PARTICIPATION. No Employee shall have the right to be selected to
receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to
receive a future Award.
ARTICLE 13. CHANGE IN CONTROL
13.1 ACCELERATION OF VESTING. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan
to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, any Awards outstanding and
not then exercisable and vested as of the date such Change in Control is
determined to have occurred, shall become fully exercisable and vested to the
full extent of the original grant. Upon termination of employment occurring as a
consequence of a Change in Control, as determined by the Committee, an Option
shall remain exercisable for seven months following such termination or until
the expiration of the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter.
13.2 SURRENDER IN LIEU OF ACCELERATION. During the 60-day period from and
after a Change in Control, (the "Exercise Period"), a Participant who holds an
Option shall have the right, in lieu of the payment of the exercise price for
the Shares being purchased under the Option and by giving notice to the Company,
to elect (within the Exercise Period) to surrender all or part of an Option to
the Company and to receive cash, within 30 days of such notice, in an amount
equal to the amount by which the Change in Control Price per Share on the date
of such election shall exceed the exercise price per Share under the Option (the
"Spread") multiplied by the number of Shares granted under the Option as to
which the right granted under this Section shall have been exercised; provided,
however, that if the Change in Control is within six (6) months of the date of
grant of a particular Option held by a Participant no such election shall be
made by such Participant with respect to such Option prior to six (6) months
from the date of grant. If the end of such 60-day period from and after a Change
in Control is within six (6) months from the date of grant of an Option or the
date of an Award, such Option or Award shall be cancelled in exchange for a cash
payment to any Participant subject to Section 16 under the Exchange Act,
effected on the day which is six (6) months and one day after the date of grant
of such Option or Award, as the case may be, equal to (a) in the case of an
Option, the Spread multiplied by the number of Shares granted under the Option,
or (b) in the case of an Award, the Change in Control Price multiplied by the
number of Shares comprising an outstanding Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if any right granted pursuant to this Section 13.2 would make a Change in
Control transaction ineligible for pooling of interests accounting under the
provisions of the Accounting Principles Board's Opinion No. 16 that but for this
Section 13.2 would otherwise be eligible for such accounting treatment, the
Committee shall have the ability to substitute the cash payable pursuant to this
Section 13.2 with shares of common stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the
cash that would otherwise be payable hereunder and which will not render the
Change in Control transaction ineligible for pooling of interests accounting.
ARTICLE 14. DEATH AND TERMINATION
The Committee shall have the authority to establish provisions from time to
time governing the exercisability, vesting, forfeiture, payout or amount of
Awards in respect of a Participant's death or disability, or termination of
employment, whether as a consequence of retirement, resignation, involuntary
termination or otherwise.
ARTICLE 15. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION
15.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION. At any time and from time to
time, the Board may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan. However, without the
approval of the stockholders of the Company (as may be required by the Code, by
the short-swing profit rules of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, by any national
securities exchange or system on which the Shares are then listed or reported,
or by a regulatory body having jurisdiction with respect hereto), no such
amendment or modification may:
(a) Increase the total number of Shares which may be issued under this
Plan, except as provided in Article 4 hereof; or
(b) Modify the eligibility requirements; or
(c) Materially increase the benefits accruing under the Plan.
15.2 AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. No termination, amendment, or modification of
the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted
under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant holding such
Award. The Committee shall have the right to replace any previously-granted
Award under the
A-9
33
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plan with an Award equal to the value of the replaced Award at the time of
replacement, without obtaining the consent of the Participant holding such
Award.
ARTICLE 16. WITHHOLDING
16.1 TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the power and the right to
deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes (including the
Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to
any taxable event arising under or as a result of this Plan.
16.2 SHARE WITHHOLDING. With respect to withholding required and/or permitted
upon the exercise of Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on
Restricted Stock, or upon any other taxable event hereunder, Participants may
elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding
requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares (or by
surrendering Shares previously owned which have been held for longer than six
months) having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal
to the minimum statutory total tax which could be imposed on the transaction.
All elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Participant,
and elections by Insiders shall additionally comply with the requirements
established by the Committee.
ARTICLE 17. SUCCESSORS
All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards granted
hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the
existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase,
merger, consolidation, spin-off, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of
the business and/or assets of the Company.
ARTICLE 18. LEGAL CONSTRUCTION
18.1 GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any
masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall
include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.
18.2 SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held
illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect
the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as
if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
18.3 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares
under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations,
and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities
exchanges as may be required. With respect to Insiders, transactions under this
Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its
successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the plan or
action by the Committee fails to comply with Section 18.3, it shall be deemed
null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the
Committee.
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in the Plan, if required by any
rule or interpretation promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any
"derivative security" or "equity security" offered pursuant to the Plan to any
Insider may not be sold or transferred for at least six (6) months after the
date of grant of such Award. The terms "equity security" and "derivative
security" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the then-current Rule
16(a) under the Exchange Act.
18.4 GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, the Plan, and
all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by
the laws of the State of Illinois.
ARTICLE 19. PRIOR PLANS
Upon the approval by the Company's shareholders of this Plan, all outstanding
grants and awards under the Prior Plans, as well as any Shares then-reserved for
use under the Prior Plans, shall be deemed transferred to this Plan. The terms
and conditions of any agreements issued pursuant to any of the Prior Plans shall
remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
