Employee Restricted Stock Unit Agreement
Exhibit 10.2
Employee Restricted Stock Unit Agreement
This Employee Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the Agreement), by and between Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and the Employee whose name is set forth on Exhibit A hereto, is being entered into pursuant to the Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan) and is dated as of the date it is accepted and agreed to by the Employee in accordance with Section 7(q). Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Plan.
Section 1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby evidences and confirms its grant to the Employee, effective as of the date set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the Grant Date), of the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth on Exhibit A hereto. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder are subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein. If there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
Section 2. Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested, if at all, in the percentage(s), and on the vesting date(s) set forth on Exhibit A hereto (each, a Vesting Date), subject to the continued employment of the Employee by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof through such date. Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement.
(b) Effect of Termination of Employment.
(i) If the Employees employment is terminated by reason of the Employees death or Disability (such termination, a Special Termination), all outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest as of the date of such Special Termination. Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement.
(ii) Any Other Reason. Upon termination of the Employees employment for any reason other than a Special Termination (whether initiated by the Company or by the Employee), any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited and canceled effective as of the date of such termination.
(c) Effect of a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the treatment of any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be governed by Article XIV of the Plan.
(d) Discretionary Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting with respect to any Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine.
Section 3. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Timing of Settlement. Subject to Section 6(a), any outstanding Restricted Stock Units that became vested on a Vesting Date shall be settled into an equal number of shares of Common Stock on a date selected by the Company that is within 30 days following such Vesting Date (each such date, a Settlement Date).
(b) Mechanics of Settlement. On each Settlement Date, the Company shall electronically issue to the Employee one whole share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that then became vested, and, upon such issuance, the Employees rights in respect of such Restricted Stock Unit shall be extinguished. On or before any Settlement Date, at the Companys request, the Company and the Employee shall enter into a Subscription Agreement that establishes the rights and obligations of the Company and the Employee relating to the shares of Common Stock issued in respect of the Restricted Stock Units, in the form then customarily used by the Company under the Plan for such purpose. In the event that there are any fractional Restricted Stock Units that became vested on such date, such fractional Restricted Stock Units shall be settled through a cash payment equal to the portion of Restricted Stock Unit multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on such Settlement Date. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued.
Section 4. Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Employee may not sell the shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units unless such shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or, if such shares are not then so registered, such sale would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The sale of such shares must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Common Stock, and the Employee may not sell the shares of Common Stock if the Company determines that such sale would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
Section 5. Restriction on Transfer; Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units are not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and they may not, directly or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including, but not limited to, by gift, operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the estate of the Employee upon the Employees death. Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 5 shall be void ab initio.
Section 6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Tax Withholding. The Company or one of the Subsidiaries shall require the Employee to remit to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any applicable U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax withholding obligations that may arise in connection with the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and the related issuance of shares of Common stock. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Employee elects not to remit cash in respect of such obligations, the Company shall retain a number of shares issued in respect of the Restricted Stock Units then vesting that have an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Settlement Date equal to the amount of such taxes required to be withheld (and the Employee
2
shall thereupon be deemed to have satisfied his or her obligations under this Section 6(a)); provided that the number of such shares retained shall not be in excess of the minimum amount required to satisfy the statutory withholding tax obligations (it being understood that the value of any fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of Restricted Stock Units shall thereupon be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock so retained. The method of withholding set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be available if withholding in this manner would violate any financing instrument of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.
(b) Dividend Equivalents. In the event that the Company pays any ordinary dividend in cash on a share of Common Stock following the Grant Date and prior to an applicable Settlement Date, there shall be credited to the account of the Employee in respect of each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit an amount equal to the amount of such dividend. The amount so credited shall be deferred (without interest, unless the Administrator determines otherwise) until the settlement of such related Restricted Stock Unit and then paid in cash, but shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of such related Restricted Stock Unit.
(c) Authorization to Share Personal Data. The Employee authorizes the Company or any Affiliate of the Company that has or lawfully obtains personal data relating to the Employee to divulge or transfer such personal data to the Company or to a third party, in each case in any jurisdiction, if and to the extent reasonably appropriate in connection with this Agreement or the administration of the Plan.
(d) No Rights as Stockholder; No Voting Rights. The Employee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Units prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock.
(e) No Right to Awards. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the grant of any Restricted Stock Units (i) is being made on an exceptional basis and is not intended to be renewed or repeated, (ii) is entirely voluntary on the part of the Company and the Subsidiaries and (iii) should not be construed as creating any obligation on the part of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to offer any Restricted Stock Units in the future.
(f) No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer on the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate such employment at any time.
(g) Interpretation. The Administrator shall have full power and discretion to construe and interpret the Plan (and any rules and regulations issued thereunder) and this Award. Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to the Plan or this Award shall be final and binding and conclusive on all persons affected hereby.
(h) Forfeiture of Awards. The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder (and gains earned or accrued in connection therewith) shall be subject to such generally applicable policies as to forfeiture and recoupment (including, without limitation, upon the occurrence of material financial or accounting errors, financial or other misconduct or Competitive Activity) as may be
3
adopted by the Administrator or the Board from time to time and communicated to the Employee, and is otherwise subject to forfeiture or disgorgement of profits as provided by the Plan.
(i) Consent to Electronic Delivery. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Restricted Stock Units evidenced hereby, the Employee hereby consents to the delivery of information (including, without limitation, information required to be delivered to the Employee pursuant to applicable securities laws) regarding the Company and the Subsidiaries, the Plan, this Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units via Company website or other electronic delivery.
(j) Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors or assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or any provision contained herein.
(k) Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented orally, but only by a written instrument executed by the Employee and the Company.
(l) Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by the Company or the Employee without the prior written consent of the other party.
(m) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with laws of the State of Delaware regardless of the application of rules of conflict of law that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction.
(n) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that they and the other party hereto have been induced to enter into the Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 6(n).
(o) Limitations of Actions. No lawsuit relating to this Agreement may be filed before a written claim is filed with the Administrator and is denied or deemed denied as provided in the Plan and any lawsuit must be filed within one year of such denial or deemed denial or be forever barred.

acknowledges receipt of the Plan, represents to the Company that he or she has read and understood this Agreement and the Plan, and, as an express condition to the grant of the Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement, agrees to be bound by the terms of both this Agreement and the Plan. The Employee and the Company each agrees and acknowledges that the use of electronic media (including, without limitation, a clickthrough button or checkbox on a website of the Company or a third-party administrator) to indicate the Employees confirmation, consent, signature, agreement and delivery of this Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units is legally valid and has the same legal force and effect as if the Employee and the Company signed and executed this Agreement in paper form.
