CLASS B RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.7
CLASS B RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT
CLASS B RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) entered into as of this May 6, 2009 (the “Grant Date”), between Intelsat Global, Ltd. (formerly known as Serafina Holdings Limited and referred to herein as the “Company”), and Phillip L. Spector, an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (the “Employee”);
WHEREAS, the Employee has agreed to perform services for the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries (the “Employer”); and
WHEREAS, the Company wishes to carry out the Intelsat Global, Ltd. 2008 Share Incentive Plan (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Committee appointed to administer the Plan pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan has determined that it would be to the advantage and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to grant the Restricted Shares provided for herein (each a “Class B Restricted Share” and collectively the “Class B Restricted Shares”) to the Employee as an inducement to enter into or remain in the service of the Company (or one of its Subsidiaries) (the “Employer”) and as an incentive for increased efforts during such service, and has advised the Company thereof and instructed the undersigned officers to grant said Class B Restricted Shares; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement memorializes certain terms and conditions applicable to the Class B Restricted Shares;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
| 1. | Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan. |
| 2. | Purchase of Class B Restricted Shares. Upon execution of this Agreement and the Management Shareholders Agreement, the Company or one of its Affiliates will issue or sell to the Employee 80,679 Class B Shares, par value U.S. $.001 per share, for a purchase price of par value U.S. $.001 per share. The Employee acknowledges that the Class B Restricted Shares will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and shall be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transferability. |
| 3. | Fair Market Value; 83(b) Election. The parties agree that the Fair Market Value of each Class B Restricted Share as of the Grant Date is U.S. $8.58. The Employee shall make an election with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “83(b) Election”). The Employee understands that under applicable law such election must be filed with the IRS no later than thirty (30) days after the Grant Date to be effective. If the Employee files an effective 83(b) Election, the excess of the fair market value of the Class B Restricted Shares (which the IRS may assert is different from the Fair Market Value |
| determined by the parties) covered by such election over the amount paid by the Employee for the shares shall be treated as ordinary income received by the Employee, and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall withhold from Employee’s compensation any amounts required to be withheld under applicable law. The foregoing is merely a brief summary of complex tax laws and regulations, and therefore the Employee is advised to consult with his own tax advisors regarding his purchase, the 83(b) Election and holding of Class B Restricted Shares. |
| 4. | Equity Plan. The Class B Restricted Shares and this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, to the extent the terms of such Plan are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. |
| 5. | Vesting. All Class B Shares shall initially be unvested, except as provided in Section 5(a)(i) below. |
| (a) | Class B Time-Vesting Shares. 57,628 of the Class B Restricted Shares (the “Class B Time-Vesting Shares”) shall vest as follows, subject to the Employee’s continued employment on the date of vesting and to Section 6 below: |
| (i) | 25 percent of the Class B Time-Vesting Shares shall be vested as of the Grant Date; |
| (ii) | 75 percent of the Class B Time Vesting Shares shall vest in forty-five (45) equal monthly installments of 1/45 per month commencing on June 4, 2009 and on the fourth day of each calendar month thereafter so the Class B Time-Vesting Shares will be fully vested on February 4, 2013; and |
| (iii) | Immediately prior to the first Change in Control to occur following the Grant Date (and subject to the consummation of such Change in Control), any unvested Class B Time-Vesting Shares shall become fully vested. |
| (b) | Class B Performance Shares. Subject to Section 6 below, 23,051 of the Class B Restricted Shares (the “Class B Performance Shares”) shall vest as set forth on Exhibit A, subject to the Employee’s continued employment on the dates provided in Exhibit A. |
| 6. | Termination of Employment. |
| (a) | Termination without Cause or for Good Reason. In the event of the Employee’s Termination of Employment by the Employer without Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined in the employment agreement by and among the Company, Intelsat, Ltd. and the Employee, dated May 6, 2009 and effective as of February 4, 2008 (the “Employment Agreement”)): |
| (i) | Treatment. |
(A) Time Vested Shares. On or prior to July 31, 2010, any unvested Class B Time-Vesting Shares (and the related cash dividends and proceeds thereof held by the Company in accordance with Section 8 hereof (“Custodial Dividends”), if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at
2
the time of the dividend payment) shall be forfeited as of the date of such Termination of Employment subject to the last sentence of this Section 6(a)(i)(A). In the event such Termination of Employment occurs after July 31, 2010, fifty percent (50%) of the unvested Class B Time-Vesting Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) shall be forfeited as of the date of such Termination of Employment subject to the last sentence of this Section 6(a)(i)(A) and fifty percent (50%) of the unvested Class B Time-Vesting Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) shall vest on the date of such Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the period commencing with such Termination of Employment and ending on the six month anniversary of such Termination of Employment (the “Involuntary Termination Protected Period”) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Change in Control transaction, then immediately on the effective date of the Change in Control, as applicable (and subject to the consummation of such Change in Control), any unvested Class B Time-Vesting Shares shall become fully vested (and the related Custodial Dividends vested, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment).
(B) Performance Shares. Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, no portion of the Class B Performance Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) that is not vested as of the date of such a Termination of Employment, shall become vested following the date of Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the Involuntary Termination Protected Period either (I) an Initial Public Offering occurs, or (II) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Change in Control transaction, then immediately prior to the effective date of the Initial Public Offering or Change in Control, as applicable (and subject to the consummation of such Initial Public Offering or Change in Control), an amount of the Class B Performance Shares as determined pursuant to Exhibit A (and the related Custodial Dividends paid, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) will vest as if the Change in Control or Initial Public Offering, as applicable, had occurred immediately prior to such Termination of Employment and any Class B Performance Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends paid, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) that remain unvested at such time shall be forfeited. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, all Class B Performance Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends paid, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) that remain outstanding as of the last day of the Involuntary Termination Protected Period shall be forfeited immediately following the last day of the Involuntary Termination Protected Period.
3
| (ii) | Repurchase Right. Subject to Sections 6(e) and 7 hereof, any Class B Shares held by the Employee as a result of the vesting of Class B Restricted Shares may be repurchased by the Company at any time during the two-year period following the date of Termination of Employment at a purchase price per Class B Share equal to the Class B Repurchase Price of such Class B Share as of the date of such repurchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Class B Restricted Shares are repurchased by the Company (or the Sponsor Shareholder pursuant to Section 11 of the Management Shareholders Agreement) during the Involuntary Termination Protected Period, and, subsequent to such repurchase, but prior to the expiration of the Involuntary Termination Protected Period, either (A) an Initial Public Offering occurs, or (B) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Change in Control transaction, then, upon the consummation of such Initial Public Offering or Change in Control, as the case may be, the Company shall pay to the Employee within sixty (60) days after the consummation of such Change in Control or Initial Public Offering an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Class B Repurchase Price of such Class B Restricted Shares on the date of the Change in Control or the Initial Public Offering over (y) the purchase price paid to the Employee for such Class B Restricted Shares. |
| (iii) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company consummates an acquisition by or merger of the Company through a transaction or series of transactions with any of those certain Person(s) described in the resolutions of the Compensation Committee of the Board dated December 29, 2008 but after which the Sponsor Shareholders do not in the aggregate possess beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities (for the election of directors) of the Company or its successor (a “Significant Corporate Event”), then if on or following such Significant Corporate Event (i) (A) the affirmative written consent of the Sponsor Shareholders or a representative thereof is not required for the Company to terminate the Employee’s employment at the time of such termination and (B) the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason, then the applicable vesting provisions shall apply as if a Change in Control had occurred immediately prior to such termination of employment, or (ii) (A) the affirmative written consent of the Sponsor Shareholders or a representative thereof is required for the Company to terminate the Employee’s employment at the time of such termination and at all times thereto, and (B) the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason on or after the date that is eighteen (18) months following the date of such Significant Corporate Event, then the applicable vesting provisions shall apply as if a Change in Control had occurred immediately prior to such termination of employment. |
4
| (b) | Resignation by the Employee. |
| (i) | Treatment. In the event of a Termination of Employment by the Employee other than for Good Reason or due to death or Permanent Disability, all unvested Class B Restricted Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends paid, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) shall be immediately forfeited. |
| (ii) | Repurchase Right. Subject to Sections 6(e) and 7 hereof, any Class B Shares held by the Employee as a result of the vesting of Class B Restricted Shares may be repurchased by the Company at any time during the two-year period following the date of any Termination of Employment that occurs during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on July 31, 2010, at a purchase price per Class B Share equal to the lesser of (1) the Class B Repurchase Price of such Class B Share on the date of such Termination of Employment, or (2) (A) the Class B Repurchase Price of such Class B Share on the Grant Date minus (B) the value of any dividends, distributions, or dividend equivalents previously paid to the Employee in respect of such Class B Share (subject to equitable adjustment in the Committee’s good faith discretion to reflect dividends, distributions, corporate transactions, or similar events, to the extent not reflected in (y)) but in no event less than the par value of such Class B Share. With respect to any Termination of Employment following July 31, 2010, any Class B Shares held by the Employee as a result of the vesting of Class B Restricted Shares may be repurchased by the Company at any time during the two-year period following the date of such Termination of Employment at the Class B Repurchase Price of such Class B Share on the date of such repurchase. |
| (c) | Death and Permanent Disability. |
| (i) | Treatment. In the event of the Employee’s Termination of Employment by reason of the Employee’s death or Permanent Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement): |
(A) Time Vested Shares. Any unvested Class B Time-Vesting Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends paid, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) shall vest as of the date of death or Termination of Employment due to Permanent Disability.
(B) Performance Shares. Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, no portion of the Class B Performance Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends paid, if any, with respect to such Class B Performance Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) that is not
5
vested as of the date of such a Termination of Employment shall become vested following the date of Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the period commencing with such Termination of Employment and ending on the six month anniversary of such Termination of Employment (the “D & D Protected Period”), either (I) an Initial Public Offering occurs, or (II) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Change in Control transaction, then immediately prior to the effective date of the Initial Public Offering or Change in Control, as applicable (and subject to the consummation of such Initial Public Offering or Change in Control), an amount of the Class B Performance Shares as determined pursuant to Exhibit A (and the related Custodial Dividends paid, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) will vest as if the Change in Control or Initial Public Offering, as applicable, had occurred immediately prior to such Termination of Employment and any Class B Performance Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends paid, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) that remain unvested at such time shall be forfeited. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, all Class B Performance Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends paid, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) that remain outstanding as of the last day of the D & D Protection Period shall be forfeited immediately following the last day of the D & D Protected Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(c), as of the date of a Termination of Employment as a result of an Employee’s death or Permanent Disability, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the vesting of any then unvested Class B Performance Shares.
| (ii) | Repurchase Right. Subject to Sections 6(e) and 7 hereof, following the Termination of Employment due to death or Permanent Disability described above, any Class B Shares held by the Employee as a result of the vesting of Class B Restricted Shares may be repurchased by the Company at any time during the two-year period following the date of such Termination of Employment at a purchase price per share equal to the Class B Repurchase Price of such Class B Share on the date of repurchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Class B Restricted Shares are repurchased by the Company (or the Sponsor Shareholder pursuant to Section 11 of the Management Shareholders Agreement) during the D & D Protected Period, and, subsequent to such repurchase, but prior to the expiration of the D & D Protected Period either (A) an Initial Public Offering occurs, or (B) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Change in Control transaction, then, upon the consummation of such Initial Public Offering or Change in Control, as the case may be, the Company shall pay to the Employee within sixty (60) days after the consummation of such Change in Control or Initial Public Offering an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Class B |
6
| Repurchase Price of such Class B Restricted Shares on the date of the Change in Control or the Initial Public Offering, as applicable, over (y) the purchase price paid to the Employee for such Class B Restricted Shares. |
| (d) | Termination for Cause. |
| (i) | Treatment. In the event of the Employee’s Termination of Employment by the Employer for Cause, all unvested Class B Restricted Shares (and the related Custodial Dividends paid, if any, with respect to such Class B Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment) shall be immediately forfeited. |
| (ii) | Repurchase Right. Subject to Sections 6(e) and 7 hereof, from and after the date of such Termination of Employment, the Company may repurchase any or all of such Class B Shares held by the Employee as a result of the vesting of Class B Restricted Shares for a per share purchase price equal to the par value as of the Grant Date of such Share. |
| (e) | Expiration of Repurchase Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, the Company’s repurchase rights set forth in this Section 6 with respect to Class B Restricted Shares held by the Employee shall expire immediately prior to the occurrence of an Initial Public Offering or a Listing Event (subject to the consummation of such Initial Public Offering or such Listing Event). |
| (f) | Claw-Back. In the event that the Employee violates any of the covenants set forth in Section 5.3 of the Employment Agreement or materially violates any of the covenants set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the Employment Agreement during his employment or at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Employee’s Termination of Employment for any reason, the Employee shall, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, be required to pay to the Company a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Class B Restricted Shares that first become vested during the 12-month period immediately preceding (or at any time after) the date that the Employee first breaches such covenant and (ii) the fair market value per share of the Class B Restricted Shares as of the date such Class B Restricted Shares first become vested. In addition, all Class B Restricted Shares that have not become vested prior to the date of such breach shall thereupon be forfeited. |
| (g) | Involuntary Termination Protected Period; D & D Protected Period. For the avoidance of doubt, only a Change in Control that is consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions of a definitive purchase and sale or similar agreement that is fully executed by the parties during the Involuntary Termination Protected Period or D & D Protected Period, as applicable, and that does not terminate by its terms or otherwise prior to the consummation of the Change in Control (or pursuant to other terms and conditions with the same party that replace or supplement the original agreement), may result in any payment or accelerated vesting described in this Section 6. |
7
| 7. | Restrictions. In order to receive any grant hereunder, the Employee must be or become a party to the Management Shareholders Agreement and must execute the proxy attached hereto as Exhibit C of this Agreement. The transferability of Class B Restricted Shares and any Class B Shares that are held by the Employee as a result of vesting of Class B Restricted Shares shall be governed by the Management Shareholders Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6 hereof, in the event that the Employee has transferred any Class B Share that was held by the Employee as a result of vesting of Class B Restricted Shares to a person or entity other than a Permitted Transferee (as such term is defined in the Management Shareholders Agreement), and such transfer was in accordance with the terms of the Management Shareholders Agreement, the Company shall not have the right to repurchase such transferred Class B Shares. Any transferee of Class B Restricted Shares or Class B Shares from the Employee (and any subsequent transferee) shall be required to execute the proxy attached hereto as Exhibit C of this Agreement and become a party to the Management Shareholders Agreement. |
| 8. | Employee Shareholder Rights. |
| (a) | Except as otherwise set forth herein, in the Plan or in the proxy executed by the Employee, the Employee shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the Class B Restricted Shares. |
| (b) | Shareholders of Class B Restricted Shares shall not be entitled to receive their percentage interest of all Distributions paid to shareholders until each shareholder of Class A Shares receives Distributions equal to their Paid-in-Capital (as defined below), and, thereafter, the holders of Class B Shares and holders of Class A Shares shall be entitled to receive Distributions ratably based upon the proportionate number of outstanding common shares of the Company held by each such shareholder; provided that at the time of any Distribution of Class A Shares to the holders of Class A Shares (a “Class A Share Distribution”), the Company shall simultaneously make a Class B Share distribution to the holders of Class B Shares in an amount necessary to maintain the proportion of Class A Shares to Class B Shares in effect as of the date of such Class A Share Distribution; and provided, further, that for purposes of determining the value of the Class A Shares distributed pursuant to any Class A Share Distribution, the value of each Class A Share shall be equal to the excess of (x) the value of a Class A Share over (y) the value of a Class B Share, in each case, determined as of the date of such Class A Share Distribution. For purposes of this Agreement, |
| (i) | “Distributions” shall mean (A) distributions of Class A Shares, (B) distributions in liquidation of the Company, and (C) other distributions payable to shareholders for which such an entitlement to receive such distribution would not prevent the Class A Shares from qualifying as “service recipient stock” within the meaning of Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii) liquidation distributions; |
8
| (ii) | “Paid-in-Capital” shall mean, (A) with respect to each Class A Restricted Share issued on the Closing Date, the Fair Market Value of such Class A Share on the Closing Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, was $100 per share), (B) with respect to each Class A Share acquired upon exercise of any Rollover Option, the Fair Market Value of such Class A Share on the Closing Date and (C) with respect to any other Class A Share, the purchase price paid by such shareholder for such Class A Share (including, without limitation, the exercise price paid upon exercise of any Share Option); and |
| (iii) | “Rollover Option” shall mean a Non-Qualified Stock Option issued to an optionholder on the Closing Date in consideration for the termination and cancellation of one or more stock rights issued under the Intelsat Holdings, Ltd. Share Incentive Plan |
| (c) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, cash dividends, if any, paid with respect to any Class B Restricted Shares which have not vested at the time of the dividend payment shall be paid to and held in the custody of the Company, shall accrue interest at the lesser of the interest rate applicable to the primary revolving credit agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as in effect from time to time, or 4% compound interest per annum, and shall be subject to the same restrictions that apply to the corresponding Class B Restricted Shares. Except as provided in the next sentence, any Custodial Dividends held by the Company for Class B Time-Vesting Shares (including any interest thereon payable in accordance with this Section 8) shall be paid to the Employee at the earliest event to occur: (i) at such time as any Class B Time-Vesting Shares vest pursuant to the vesting schedule under Section 5(a) hereof (disregarding vesting under a Change in Control), (ii) when the Employee incurs a “separation from service” as defined in Code Section 409A, provided that such Custodial Dividends are not otherwise forfeited as described herein or (iii) on a Change in Control, provided that such Change in Control would also constitute a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Code Section 409A. Any Custodial Dividends that vest within two years following a separation from service pursuant to Section 6(a)(i)(A) hereof shall be paid on the date that is two years following such separation from service. At such time as any Class B Performance Share vests, any Custodial Dividends held by the Company (including any interest thereon payable in accordance with this Section 8) with respect to such vested Class B Performance Shares shall be paid to the Employee. Following the date upon which the Class B Restricted Shares vest, all sales, transfers, assignments, pledges or other encumbrances and dispositions shall be subject to the terms of the Management Shareholders Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any or all Class B Restricted Shares that are deemed to be forfeited hereunder may be repurchased by the Company, at any time and from time to time from and after the date of such forfeiture, for a purchase price per Class B Share equal to the par value of |
9
such repurchased Class B Restricted Share, and following such forfeiture, the Employee shall have no rights with respect to such Class B Restricted Shares other than the receipt of such par value amount.
| 9. | Class B Subscription Right. |
| (a) | If at any time after the date here of, the Company proposes to issue new Class A Shares or a new series or class of shares of the Company such that an additional $112,500,000 (in the aggregate) is invested in the Company through a single investment or through a series of investments, except for issuances (i) personally and not directly or indirectly to the Sponsor Shareholders, to any director, employee, or consultant of or to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Share Incentive Plan or any other employee benefit, stock purchase or compensation plan, arrangement, or agreement hereafter adopted by the Board or entered into by the Company, (ii) issued pursuant to a stock split, subdivision, or similar transaction or dividend applicable to the outstanding equity interests of the Company as a dividend or share split of any equity interests then outstanding, (iii) pursuant to a public offering (to persons other than BC Investors or their Affiliates), (iv) convertible debt securities or fixed rate preferred stock sold in an underwritten offering to persons other than the Sponsor Shareholders (or their Affiliates) or (v) issued as consideration in any merger, acquisition or joint venture with another business enterprise approved by the Board, |
| (i) | The Employee shall have the right (the “Priority Class B Subscription Right”) to elect to purchase Class B Shares for Fair Market Value, up to such Employee’s Priority Class B Subscription Amount. “Priority Class B Subscription Amount” means the maximum number of Class A Shares (or new series or class of shares) proposed to be issued in the relevant issuance multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Class B Shares held by such Employee immediately prior to the issuance and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance; and |
| (ii) | The Company and the Employee agree to discuss in good faith whether additional issuances of Class B Shares or other equity awards to the Employee are warranted in order to equitably maintain the Employee’s equity interest in the Company and to the extent that following such investment and issuance the Sponsor Shareholders’ expected rate of return would not be materially less than the Sponsor Shareholders’ expected rate of return prior to such investment and issuance as a result of such investment and issuance, but there shall be no obligation for the parties to agree to any issuance and the issuance of any such shares or equity awards shall be subject to the terms set forth in the Plan and the Management Shareholders Agreement. The intent of this Section 9(a)(ii) is to equitably maintain the Employee’s equity interest through future equity grants of the Company. |
10
| (b) | The Company shall cause to be given to each Employee prior to the proposed issuance a written notice setting forth the consideration that the Company intends to receive and the terms and conditions upon which the securities shall be issued (the “Priority Class B Subscription Notice”). After receiving a Priority Class B Subscription Notice, an Employee who desires to exercise a Priority Class B Subscription Right must give notice to the Company in writing, within ten (10) business days after the date that such Priority Class B Subscription Notice is delivered, that such Employee desires to purchase Class B Shares (the “Priority Class B Subscription Reply”). The closing of the sale pursuant to a Priority Class B Subscription Reply shall occur concurrently with the closing of the issuance giving rise to the Priority Class B Subscription Right. Priority Class B Subscription Rights are not transferable. |
| 10. | Changes in Shares. In the event of any share split, reverse share split, dividend, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company, the number and kind of shares (or other property, including without limitation cash) subject to this Agreement and the calculation of Paid-in-Capital shall, in each such case, be equitably adjusted by the Committee as it in good faith deems appropriate to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the value of the Employee’s Class B Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon a corporate transaction in which all of the Class B Shares are converted into the right to receive cash, the Proceeds shall be finally determined and there shall be no further opportunity to vest in any Class B Performance Shares. |
| 11. | Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Employee for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Class B Restricted Shares, the Employee shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld with respect to such amount, provided, that the Company may require the deduction of any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Employee, including the delivery of the Class B Restricted Shares that gives rise to the withholding requirement. |
| 12. | Notices. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be addressed to the Company at its corporate headquarters, attention: General Counsel, or to the Employee at the address then on record with the Company, as the case may be, and deposited, postage prepaid, in the United States mail. Either party may, by notice to the other given in the manner aforesaid, change his/her or its address for future notices. |
| 13. | Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda without regard to its conflict of laws principles. |
| 14. | Successor. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and the Employee and his or her personal representatives and assigns. |
| 15. | Amendment. Notwithstanding the terms and provisions as provided under the Plan and this Agreement, the Company, Committee or the Board may not amend, modify or |
11
| terminate the terms and provisions of this Agreement without the Employee’s written consent. Any dispute as to the Committee’s or the Board’s decision or interpretation under the Plan and this Agreement shall be resolved pursuant to Section 17 hereof. |
| 16. | Laws and Regulations. No Class B Shares shall be issued under this Agreement unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance of such Class B Shares have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Committee. The Committee shall have the right to condition any issuance of Class B Shares to the Employee hereunder on the Employee’s undertaking in writing to comply with such restrictions on the subsequent disposition of such Class B Shares as the Committee shall deem necessary or advisable as a result of any applicable law or regulation. |
| 17. | Dispute Resolution. Arbitration (under a “de novo” standard of review) will be the method of resolving disputes under this Agreement with respect to any Committee decisions under the Plan or hereunder; except for any decision contemplated by Section 9(a)(ii). All arbitrations arising out of this Agreement shall be conducted in Washington, D.C. Subject to the following provisions, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Association”) then in effect. Any award entered by the arbitrators shall be final, binding and nonappealable and judgment may be entered thereon by either party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable. The arbitrators shall have no authority to modify any provision of this Agreement or to award a remedy for a dispute involving this Agreement other than a benefit specifically provided under or by virtue of the Agreement. Each party shall be responsible for its own expenses relating to the conduct of the arbitration (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and shall share the fees of the Association equally. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any issue(s) previously decided under Section 7.8 of the Employment Agreement, Section 16 of the Class A Restricted Share Agreement (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or Section 19 of the Option Agreement shall be controlling over any similar issue(s) challenged by either party under this Section 17, and if any issues to be resolved under this Section 17 arise at the same time issues arise under the Employment Agreement, the Class A Restricted Share Agreement or the Option Agreement, then such issues shall be combined and resolved under one single arbitration proceeding. |
| 18. | Miscellaneous. |
| (a) | The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Class B Restricted Shares which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, the Plan or the Management Shareholders Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Class B Restricted Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Class B Restricted Shares shall have been so transferred. |
| (b) | This Agreement shall not be construed so as to grant the Employee any right to remain in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. |
12
| (c) | This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute one and the same original. |
| (d) | This Agreement, the Plan and the Management Shareholders Agreement set forth the entire understanding and agreement of the Employee and the Company (or any Employer) with respect to Class B Restricted Shares of the Company granted on or prior to the date hereof, and supersede any and all other understandings, commitments, terms sheets, negotiations or agreements of or between the Employee and the Company (or any Employer) relating to restricted shares of the Company. Any inconsistencies between the Plan, the Management Shareholders Agreement and this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of this Agreement. |

Exhibit A
Vesting of Class B Performance Shares
| I. | ANNUAL AWARDS |
| (a) | General: Subject to Sections 5(b) and 6 of the Agreement, the Class B Performance Shares shall be eligible to vest in two (2) equal annual installments beginning in 2008 (each, an “Annual Performance Share Installment”); provided that the Employee remains continuously employed in active service by the Employer from the Grant Date through January 5 of the calendar year immediately following the applicable calendar year being measured (the “Measurement Year”) regardless if the Employee remains employed thereafter. In addition, the Class B Performance Shares shall be eligible to vest through a Cumulative Catch-up Award and an Exit Catch-up Award (as provided for below), provided that, subject to Sections 5(b) and 6 of the Agreement, the Employee remains employed as of January 5 of the calendar year immediately following the last calendar year being measured in the applicable Cumulative Measurement Date (as defined below) or the date of the Measuring Trigger (as defined below), as applicable. The annual vesting shall be as follows: |
| (i) | The first installment shall consist of 50% of the Class B Performance Shares and shall be eligible to become vested pursuant to this Exhibit A on the Measurement Date (as defined below) for Measurement Year 2008, based on calendar year 2008 results (which includes part of the calendar year that occurred prior to the Closing Date); |
| (ii) | The second installment shall consist of 50% of the Class B Performance Shares and shall be eligible to become vested pursuant to this Exhibit A on the Measurement Date for Measurement Year 2009, based on calendar year 2009 results; |
| (b) | Calculation: |
| (i) | The Annual Performance Share Installment shall vest based on the Sum Realized Percentage, as defined below, through an analysis (explained below) that compares each of the Company’s actual Revenue and EBITDA (as defined below), as reflected in the annual audited consolidated financial statements with respect to such Measurement Year, against each of, respectively, the Revenue Target and the EBITDA Target (each a “Financial Target”) for such Measurement Year, as such Financial Targets are set forth in the following table: |
| Financial Target $ in millions | Measurement Year 2008 | Measurement Year 2009 | Measurement Year 2010 | Measurement Year 2011 | Measurement Year 2012 | ||||||||||
| Revenue Target | $ | 2,289 | $ | 2,358 | $ | 2,469 | $ | 2,577 | $ | 2,659 | |||||
| EBITDA Target | $ | 1,798 | $ | 1,847 | $ | 1,959 | $ | 2,063 | $ | 2,130 | |||||
| (ii) | For purposes of determining vesting under this Exhibit A, each Financial Target will be weighted to correspond to a percentage of the Annual Performance Share Installment (each a “Weighted Portion”). The Weighted Portion for the Revenue Target shall constitute twenty-five percent (25%), and the Weighted Portion for the EBITDA Target shall constitute seventy-five percent (75%). |
| (iii) | For each Measurement Year, the Company’s actual results for each Financial Target shall be calculated as a percentage of each respective Financial Target (the “Realized Percentage”). The Realized Percentage for each Financial Target shall be multiplied by the Weighted Portion for each respective Financial Target to determine the “Weighted Realized Percentage” with respect to each Financial Target. The Weighted Realized Percentages shall then be added together to determine the “Sum Realized Percentage.” If the Sum Realized Percentage equals or exceeds 100% for such year, then all of the Class B Restricted Shares covered by the Annual Performance Share Installment for such year shall vest. |
| (iv) | For example, assume the following facts for the 2008 Measurement Year Annual Performance Share Installment as set forth in the table below ($ in millions): |
| Financial Target | Actual Result | Realized | Weighted | Weighted | ||||||||||
| Revenue | $ | 2,289 | $ | 2,358 | 103 | % | 25 | 25.75 | % | |||||
| EBITDA | $ | 1,798 | $ | 1,798 | 100 | % | 75 | 75.00 | % | |||||
| Sum Realized Percentage | 100.75 | % | ||||||||||||
Because the Company’s Sum Realized Percentage for the annual period equaled or exceeded 100%, all of the Class B Restricted Shares covered by the Annual Performance Share Installment with respect to such Measurement Year 2008 would vest.
| (c) | Definitions: |
| (i) | “Measurement Date” shall mean the date the Board approves the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the Measurement Year; provided |
that, if the Board has not approved the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements by May 31 of the year following the Measurement Year, the Board shall use such information as is available to it at such time to determine in good faith whether the Annual Performance Share Installment for such Measurement Year has vested.
| (ii) | “Revenue” shall mean the Company’s consolidated revenue as set forth in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable calendar year; provided that with respect to the Company’s consolidated revenue attributable to any subsidiary which is not wholly-owned, such revenue shall be reduced proportionately to the extent of the economic ownership interests in such subsidiary held by third parties; and provided, further, that if such consolidated revenue amount for a Measurement Year is calculated other than according to the U.S. GAAP and accounting principles for 2007 that were used for purposes of setting the applicable Revenue Target for such Measurement Year, such Revenue Target shall be adjusted accordingly. |
| (iii) | “EBITDA” shall mean Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Indenture dated June 27, 2008, by and among Intelsat (Bermuda), Ltd., As Issuer (“Intelsat Bermuda”), Intelsat, Ltd., as Parent Guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, governing the 11 1/4% Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2017 and 11 1/2% / 12 1/2% Senior PIK Election Notes due 2017 of Intelsat Bermuda (the “Intelsat Bermuda Indenture”) and as reported in Intelsat, Ltd.’s periodic report filings with the SEC, but excluding insurance proceeds from in-orbit failures (to the extent not otherwise excluded pursuant to the definition of Adjusted EBITDA contained in the Intelsat Bermuda Indenture) and adjusted further as follows: to the extent that Intelsat Bermuda has any Unrestricted Subsidiary (as defined under the Intelsat Bermuda Indenture), (A) as increased by the product of (1) the Adjusted EBITDA of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, calculated in accordance with the Intelsat Bermuda Indenture and assuming that such Unrestricted Subsidiary were a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and (2) the aggregate percentage ownership interest in such Unrestricted Subsidiary held by Intelsat Bermuda and its Restricted Subsidiaries; (B) as reduced by cash dividends received by Intelsat Bermuda and its Restricted Subsidiaries from such Unrestricted Subsidiary; and (C) as adjusted appropriately through reduction for revenues from services provided by Intelsat Bermuda and its Restricted Subsidiaries to such Unrestricted Subsidiary and through increase for costs from services provided by such Unrestricted Subsidiary to Intelsat Bermuda and its Restricted Subsidiaries, each as are attributable to Intelsat Bermuda and its Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent of their aggregate percentage ownership interests in such Unrestricted Subsidiary and as are already otherwise included or reflected in Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Intelsat Bermuda Indenture. |
| II. | CUMULATIVE CATCH-UP AWARDS |
| (a) | General: |
| (i) | If any Annual Performance Equity Award Installment (as defined below) does not vest with respect to a Measurement Year (each an “Unvested Annual Period”), such unvested Annual Performance Equity Award Installment may potentially vest as of a later Measurement Year if the Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage (defined below) equals or exceeds 100% and subject to the limitation set forth in Section II.(c). A Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage shall be determined if (i) the Sum Realized Percentage for any Measurement Year equals or exceeds 100% (each a “Vested Annual Period”) and (ii) any unvested Annual Performance Share Installment or unvested “Annual Performance Option Installment” (as defined in Exhibit A to that certain Share Option Agreement dated May 6, 2009 by and between the Company and the Employee, and collectively with any Annual Performance Share Installment, the “Annual Performance Equity Award Installment”) from any eligible Unvested Annual Period(s) remain unvested. |
| (ii) | In determining the Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage, the “Cumulative Realized Percentage” for each Financial Target shall be calculated as a percentage by comparing (i) the sum of the Company’s actual results from the applicable Vested Annual Period(s) and Unvested Annual Period(s) to the (ii) the sum of the Financial Targets of such annual periods. The Cumulative Realized Percentage for each Financial Target shall be multiplied by the Weighted Portion for each respective Financial Target to determine the “Weighted Cumulative Realized Percentage” with respect to each Financial Target. The Weighted Cumulative Realized Percentages shall then be added together to determine the “Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage.” If the Sum Realized Percentage equals or exceeds 100% for such years, then the Annual Performance Equity Award Installment of such Unvested Annual Period(s) shall vest on the Measurement Date of the Measurement Year the Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage is determined (the “Cumulative Measurement Date”). |
| (b) | Trend-line Catch-up for Consecutive Unvested Periods: If the Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage as described above does not equal or exceed 100% and there are two (2) or more consecutive Unvested Annual Periods then a second Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage shall be determined using measurements only from the applicable Vested Annual Period(s) and the most recent Unvested Annual Period. If the second Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage equals or exceeds 100% then such Annual Performance Equity Award Installment for the most recent Unvested Annual Period shall vest on the Cumulative Measurement Date and a third Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage shall be determined by using measurements only from the applicable Vested Annual Period(s) and the two most recent Unvested Annual Periods. If the third Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage equals or exceeds 100% then such Annual Performance Equity Award Installment for the second most recent Unvested Annual Period shall vest on the Cumulative Measurement Date and, if necessary, a fourth Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage shall be determined by using measurements only from the applicable Vested |
Annual Period(s) and the three most recent Unvested Annual Periods. Finally, if the fourth Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage equals or exceeds 100% then such Annual Performance Equity Award Installment for the third most recent Unvested Annual Period shall vest on the Cumulative Measurement Date.
| (c) | Limitation on Cumulative Catch-up: Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) the results from any Unvested Annual Period or consecutive Unvested Annual Periods (each a “Prior Unvested Annual Period”) are included with the results from a subsequent Vested Annual Period or consecutive Vested Annual Periods (each a “Prior Vested Annual Period”) in a calculation of a Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage that does not equal or exceed 100%, and for which, accordingly, the applicable Annual Performance Equity Award Installment would remain unvested and (y) with respect to a Measurement Year following such Vested Annual Period or consecutive Vested Annual Periods there occurs an Unvested Annual Period (a “Later Unvested Annual Period”), then |
| (i) | Any Prior Unvested Annual Period shall no longer be eligible to vest other than pursuant to Section III below; and |
| (ii) | The Later Unvested Annual Period shall continue to be eligible to vest pursuant to Section III below and shall also continue to be eligible to vest based on a subsequent calculation of a Sum Cumulative Realized Percentage so long as such calculation does not include the results from any Prior Vested Annual Period. |
| III. | EXIT CATCH-UP AWARD |
| (a) | General. All unvested and non-forfeited Class B Performance Shares shall vest upon the first Change in Control or Realization Event (whichever occurs first, the “Measuring Trigger”) that occurs following the Grant Date, if, as a result of such Measuring Trigger, the Sponsor Shareholders receive Proceeds (as defined below) equal to (i) at least three times the amount of the Investment if such Measuring Trigger occurs on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) at least four times the amount of the Investment thereafter, provided that, subject to Sections 5(b) and 6 of the Agreement, the Employee remains continuously employed in active service by the Employer from the Grant Date through the date of such Measuring Trigger. Such multiple of the Investment amount, whether three times or four times, is hereinafter referred to as the “Applicable Threshold.” |
| (b) | Gradual Exit. If the Applicable Threshold is not reached as of the first Change in Control or Realization Event, or if no such Change in Control or Realization Event has occurred, and if the Sponsor Shareholders receive Cash Proceeds (whether through a Change in Control, a Realization Event, extraordinary cash dividends or any combination of the foregoing) equal to the Applicable Threshold, then all unvested and non-forfeited |
Class B Performance Shares shall vest upon the achievement of such Applicable Threshold; provided that, subject to Sections 5(b) and 6 of the Agreement, the Employee remains continuously employed in active service by the Employer from the Grant Date through the date of such achievement of such Applicable Threshold.
| (c) | Definitions: |
| (i) | “Cash Equivalents” means (i) securities issued or directly and fully guaranteed or insured by the full faith and credit of United States government, (ii) certificates of deposit or bankers acceptances with maturities of one year or less from institutions with at least $1 billion in capital and surplus and whose long-term debt is rated at least “A-1” by Moody’s or the equivalent by Standard & Poor’s; (iii) commercial paper issued by a corporation rated at least “A-1” by Moody’s or the equivalent by Standard and Poor’s and in each case maturing within one year; and (iv) investment funds investing at least ninety-five (95%) of their assets in cash or assets of the types described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. |
| (ii) | “Cash Proceeds” shall mean the cash or Cash Equivalents received by the Sponsor Shareholders in connection with or in any way related to their ownership of Investment Shares, including (but not limited to) any monitoring fees paid in cash or Cash Equivalents (but not rolled-over) pursuant to the Monitoring Fee Agreement signed on February 4, 2008 (as amended from time to time), and cash or Cash Equivalents received for the disposal of Investment Shares in connection with the Measuring Trigger. |
| (iii) | “Proceeds” shall mean the aggregate fair market value of the consideration received by the Sponsor Shareholders in connection with or in any way related to their ownership of Investment Shares, including (but not limited to) monitoring fees paid or due pursuant to the Monitoring Fee Agreement signed on February 4, 2008 (as amended from time to time), and consideration received in connection with the disposal of Investment Shares with the Measuring Trigger, after taking into account all post closing adjustments, and assuming exercise of all options and warrants outstanding as of the effective date of such Measuring Trigger; provided however, that if the Sponsor Shareholders retain any Investment Shares following a Measuring Trigger, the fair market value of such Investment Shares immediately following such Measuring Trigger shall be deemed “consideration received” for purposes of calculating the Proceeds, and provided further that the fair market value of any non-cash consideration (including stock) shall be determined as of the date of such Measuring Trigger. |
| (iv) | “Investment” shall mean the initial investment of funds by the Sponsor Shareholders in equity securities of the Company and its Subsidiaries on February 4, 2008, which the parties agree is $1.383 billion dollars. |
| (v) | “Investment Shares” shall mean the Class A shares issued to the Sponsor Shareholders pursuant to the Investment. |
| (vi) | “Realization Event” shall mean, the date after any sale, conveyance or other disposition of equity securities by the Sponsor Shareholders in an underwritten public offering or effected in, on, or through the facilities of an established securities market (the “Public Date”) where the total number of all equity securities held, directly or indirectly, by the Sponsor Shareholders is, in the aggregate, less than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of equity securities of the Company and its Subsidiaries held by the Sponsor Shareholders immediately prior to the first Public Date hereafter. For purposes of determining whether any Realization Event has occurred, the total number of equity securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries held, directly or indirectly, by the Sponsor Shareholders shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any recapitalization or other corporate event affecting the number or kind of equity securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries. |
| (vii) | “Sponsor Shareholders” shall mean BC European Capital VIII – 1 to 12 and 14 to 39, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., Silver Lake Technology Investors III, L.P., BC European Capital – Intelsat Co-Investment, BC European Capital – Intelsat Co-Investment 1 and BC European Capital – Intelsat Syndication L.P., provided that, if any of the foregoing sell or otherwise transfer any part of its interest prior to the earlier of a Measuring Trigger or the Public Date, the acquirer of such interest shall be considered a Sponsor Shareholder to the extent of such acquired interest, but such acquisition shall not change the value of the Investment. |
