EXHIBIT A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
DEFFERED STOCK
Rights as a Stockholder
Until such time as the Shares are delivered to you (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), you will have no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder with respect to such Shares, notwithstanding the award of the Deferred Stock.
Shares due to you upon settlement of the Deferred Stock will be delivered in accordance with the provisions of the section below titled "Settlement of Vested Deferred Stock." However, no Shares will be delivered pursuant to the settlement of the Deferred Stock prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (i) you have complied with your obligations under this Award Agreement and the Plan, (ii) the delivery of such Shares complies with applicable law, (iii) full payment (or satisfactory provision therefor) of any Tax-Related Items (as defined below), (iv) the admission of the Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Shares are then listed, (v) the completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary and advisable, or if the offering of the Shares is not so registered, a determination by the Company that the issuance of the Shares would be exempt from any such registration or qualification requirements, (vi) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state, federal or foreign governmental agency that the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable and (vii) the lapse of any such reasonable period of time following the date the Deferred Stock becomes payable as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience, subject to compliance with Section 409A.
Dividend Equivalents
If while the Deferred Stock are outstanding the Board declares a cash dividend on the Company's common stock, you will be entitled to Dividend Equivalents on the dividend payment date established by the Company equal to the cash dividends payable on the same number of Shares as the number of Shares subject to this Deferred Stock award on the dividend record date established by the Company. Any such Dividend Equivalents will be in the form of additional Deferred Stock, will be subject to the same terms as the underlying Deferred Stock, and will be delivered at the same time and in the same manner as the underlying Deferred Stock originally subject to this award. The number of additional shares of Deferred Stock credited as Dividend Equivalents on the dividend payment date will be determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the number of Shares subject to your outstanding Deferred Stock award as of the corresponding dividend record date (including any Deferred Stock previously credited as a result of prior payments of Dividend Equivalents) and (B) the per-Share cash dividend paid on the dividend payment date, by (ii) the per-share Fair Market Value of the Shares on the dividend payment date, rounded to the nearest whole share.
Settlement of Deferred Stock
The Company will issue and deliver to you, or, as applicable, the personal representative of your estate, the number of Shares subject to the Deferred Stock award (as adjusted for any Dividend Equivalents). Such delivery of Shares will occur on or as soon as practicable following the “Settlement Date” set forth in this Award Agreement (and no later than sixty (60) days following the Settlement Date).
Effect of a Change in Control
The treatment of the Deferred Stock upon a Change in Control shall be governed by the Plan.
Taxes
You acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any or all income tax, social security or insurance, payroll tax or fringe benefits tax ("Tax-Related Items") legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Deferred Stock grant, including the grant or settlement of the Deferred Stock, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalents and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Deferred Stock to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.
Further, the Company is authorized to satisfy the withholding for any or all Tax-Related Items arising from the granting or payment of the Deferred Stock or sale of Shares issued in settlement of the Deferred Stock, as the case may be, by deducting the number of Shares having an aggregate value equal to the amount of the Tax-Related Items withholding due or otherwise becoming subject to current taxation. If the Company satisfies the Tax-Related Items obligation by withholding a number of Shares as described herein, for tax purposes, you shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares due to you, notwithstanding that a number of Shares is held back solely for the purpose of such Tax-Related Items withholding.
Furthermore, the Company is authorized to satisfy the Tax-Related Items withholding arising from the granting or payment of this Award, or sale of Shares issued pursuant to the Award, as the case may be, by withholding from the Participant’s cash compensation payable to you by the Company.
Finally, you will pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.
No Guarantee of Continued Service
