Exhibit 10(iii)A102
AMENDMENT #1
TO
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
UNDER THE
NATIONAL SERVICE INDUSTRIES, INC.
LONG-TERM ACHIEVEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
THIS AMENDMENT made and entered into as of the 26th day of June, 2002,
by and between National Service Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") and BROCK A. HATTOX ("Grantee").
WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the National Service
Industries, Inc. Long-Term Achievement Incentive Plan (the "Plan") to provide
additional incentives to certain officers and key employees of the Company and
its Subsidiaries; and
WHEREAS, the Grantee was granted a Restricted Stock Award under the
Plan on January 7, 2002, and the terms and conditions of such grant are
reflected in a Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the "Agreement") between the
Company and Grantee dated January 7, 2002; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Grantee desire to amend the Agreement in
the manner hereinafter provided;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1.
The Agreement is hereby amended to delete the existing Section 2.2 in
its entirety and to substitute the following therefor:
"2.2(a) In the event, prior to the Final Vesting Date, (i)
Grantee dies while actively employed by the Company, or (ii) Grantee's
employment is terminated by reason of Disability, the Restricted Stock
shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the date of
Grantee's death or Disability. The Company shall deliver certificate(s)
for the Restricted Stock, free and clear of any restrictions imposed by
this Agreement (except for Section 3.4) to Grantee (or, in the event of
death, Grantee's surviving spouse or, if none, to Grantee's estate) as
soon as practical after Grantee's date of death or termination for
Disability.
(b) If Grantee retires from the Company on or after
attaining (i) age 65, or (ii) age 55 with 5 years of service, the
vesting of the Restricted Stock shall continue as if Grantee were an
active employee, unless within two (2) years of Grantee's date of
termination of employment, Grantee
violates the Restrictive Covenant (Non-Competition Agreement) attached
as Exhibit "A" hereto, at which time all unvested Shares of Restricted
Stock shall immediately be forfeited. If Grantee dies after retiring
under this Section 2.4, but prior to the Final Vesting Date for any
Shares of Restricted Stock, the Restricted Stock shall become fully
vested and nonforfeitable as of the date of Grantee's death.
(c) Except as provided in Section 2.3, if Grantee
terminates Grantee's employment or if the Company terminates Grantee's
employment for any reason other than death or Disability or retirement
(as provided in subsection (b) above) prior to the Final Vesting Date,
the Restricted Stock shall cease to vest further and Grantee shall only
be entitled to the Restricted Stock that is vested as of Grantee's date
of termination of employment."
2.
The Agreement is hereby amended by adding Exhibit "A" attached hereto
as Exhibit "A" to the Agreement.
3.
This Amendment shall be effective as of June 26, 2002. Except as hereby
modified, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment as of
the day and year first written above.
