EXHIBIT 10.18
McKESSON CORPORATION
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective July 31, 2002)
1. NAME AND PURPOSE.
The name of this plan is the McKesson Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
"Plan"). Its purpose is to advance and promote the interests of the stockholders
of McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") by attracting
and retaining employees who strive for excellence, and to motivate those
employees to set and achieve above-average financial objectives by providing
competitive compensation for those who contribute most to the operating progress
and earning power of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates.
2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.
The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the "Committee") consisting of
not less than two directors of the Company to be appointed by the Board, each of
whom is an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No member of the Committee shall be
eligible to receive benefits under the Plan. The Committee shall have the sole
authority, in its absolute discretion, to adopt, amend, and rescind such rules
and regulations as, in its opinion, may be advisable in the administration of
the Plan, to construe and interpret the Plan, the rules and regulations, and to
make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of
the Committee shall be final and binding on all employees who participate in the
Plan (the "Participants") and other interested parties.
3. ELIGIBILITY.
Participation in the Plan shall be limited to those full-time, salaried key
officers and/OR other employees of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates
who are selected from time to time by the Committee. Participants in the Plan
are also eligible to participate in any incentive plan of the Company.
4. CALCULATION OF AWARDS.
Awards under the Plan shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee.
After the close of the period for which an award may be made (a "Performance
Period"), the Committee shall determine the dollar amount of the award to be
made to each Participant whom the Committee has selected to be an award
recipient for that Performance Period; provided, however, that the award amount
for any individual who is a "covered employee" (as defined in regulations
adopted pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended) of the Company on the last day of a Performance Period (the "Specified
Officers") shall be subject to the following limitations:
1
(a) 5% of the Company's aggregate "Annual Income" for the
Performance Period shall be set aside for awards to the Specified Officers. For
this purpose, "Annual Income" shall mean reported net income before special
items.
(b) The maximum awards to the following Specified Officers shall
equal the indicated percentage of the aggregate fund set forth in (a) above,
determined pursuant to the following schedule:
Officer Percentage
------- ----------
Chief executive officer 40%
The four highest compensated officers (other than the CEO) 15% each
Total 100%
(c) The Committee in its sole discretion may reduce the award
otherwise payable to any Specified Officer as determined above, but in no event
may any such reduction result in an increase of the award payable to any other
Participant, including but not limited to any other Specified Officer.
5. PAYMENT OF AWARDS.
All awards to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be paid in cash, provided,
however, that, at the Participant's election, receipt of all or part of an award
may be deferred under the terms of the Company's Deferred Compensation
Administration Plan II in the manner prescribed by regulations established by
the Committee.
A Participant shall have no right to receive payment of any award under the Plan
unless he or she has satisfied regulations prescribed by the Committee at the
time of making the award and the Committee has determined that the performance
objectives applicable to such award, if any, have been achieved.
Any other provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Committee determines that a Participant has engaged in any of the actions
described in (c) below, the consequences set forth in (a) and (b) below shall
result:
(a) Any outstanding award shall be forfeited immediately and
automatically and shall not be payable to the Participant under any
circumstances.
(b) If the Participant received payment of an award within six
months prior to the date that the Company discovered that the Participant
engaged in any action described in (c) below the Participant, upon written
notice from the Company, shall immediately repay to the Company in cash the
amount of such award (including any amounts withheld pursuant to Paragraph 8).
2
(c) The consequences described in (a) and (b) shall apply if the
Participant, either before or after termination of employment with the Company
or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates:
(i) discloses to others, or takes or uses for his or her
own purpose or the purpose of others, any trade secrets, confidential
information, knowledge, data or know-how belonging to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates and obtained by the Participant during the term of
his or her employment, whether or not they are the Participant's work product.
Examples of such confidential information or trade secrets include (but are not
limited to) customer lists, supplier lists, pricing and cost data, computer
programs, delivery routes, advertising plans, wage and salary data, financial
information, research and development plans, processes, equipment, product
information and all other types and categories of information as to which the
Participant knows or has reason to know that the Company or its subsidiaries or
affiliates intends or expects secrecy to be maintained;
(ii) fails to promptly return all documents and other
tangible items belonging to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
in the Participant's possession or control, including all complete or partial
copies recordings, abstracts, notes or reproductions of any kind made from or
about such documents or information contained therein, upon termination of
employment, whether pursuant to retirement or otherwise;
(iii) fails to provide the Company with at least thirty
(30) days' written notice prior to directly or indirectly engaging in, becoming
employed by, or rendering services, advice or assistance to any business in
competition with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. As used
herein, "business in competition" means any person, organization or enterprise
which is engaged in or is about to become engaged in any line of business
engaged in by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates at the time
of the termination of the Participant's employment with the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates;
(iv) fails to inform any new employer, before accepting
employment, of the terms of this paragraph 5 an of the Participant's continuing
obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the trade secrets and other
confidential information belonging to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates and obtained by the Participant during the term of his or her
employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;
(v) induces or attempts to induce, directly or
indirectly, any of the customers of the Company or its subsidiaries or
affiliates, employees, representatives or consultants to terminate, discontinue
or cease working with or for the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, or to breach any contract with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, in order to work with or for, or enter into a
contract with the Participant or any third party;
(vi) engages in conduct which is not in good faith and
which disrupts, damages, impairs or interferes with the business, reputation or
employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; OR
(vii) Directly or indirectly engages in, becomes employed
by, or renders services, advice or assistance to any business in competition
with the Company or its affiliates, at any time during the twelve months
following termination of employment with the Company.
3
The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether the Participant has
engaged in any of the acts set forth in (i) through (vii) above, and its
determination shall be conclusive and binding on all interested persons.
Any provision of this paragraph 5 which is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable should be construed or limited in a
manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the business
objectives intended by such invalid or unenforceable provision, without
invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this
paragraph 5.
6. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
The statement of terms and conditions adopted pursuant to the Plan shall
prescribe rules for the acceleration of awards in the event of a "Change in
Control" of the Company. For this purpose, a Change in Control shall be deemed
to have occurred if any of the events set forth in any one of the following
paragraphs shall occur:
(a) Any "person" (as such term is used in section 13(d) and 14(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act")), excluding the Company
or any of its affiliates, a trustee or any fiduciary holding securities under an
employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its affiliates, and underwriter
temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offer of such securities or a
company owned, directly or indirectly, by stockholders of the Company in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company, is or
becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or
more of the combined voting power of the Company's then-outstanding securities;
or
(b) During any period of not more than two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new
director (other than a director designated by a Person who has entered into an
agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (a), (c)
or (d) of this paragraph) whose election by the Board or nomination for election
by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the
beginning of the period whose election or nomination for election was previously
so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or
(c) The stockholders of the Company approve a merger or
consolidation of the Company with another company, other than (i) a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, at
least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company
or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merge or
consolidation, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
4
recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person
acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities; or
(d) The stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the
Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change in Control shall be deemed to have
occurred if there is consummated any transaction or series of integrated
transactions immediately following which the holders of the stock immediately
prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have the same
proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of
transactions.

paid to the person or persons to whom such right to payment shall have been
transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Whenever the payment of an award is made, such payment shall be net of an amount
sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements and
authorized deductions.

Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to
