This Employee Performance Vesting Restricted Stock and Performance Share Unit Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made this 30th day of June, 2015 (the “Grant Date”), between Orthofix International N.V., a Curacao company (the “Company”), and the person signing this Agreement adjacent to the caption “Award Recipient” on the signature page hereof (the “Award Recipient”).  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Orthofix International N.V. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in connection with the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.           Grant of Restricted Stock.

 

(a)           Number of Shares/Vesting.  The Company hereby grants to the Award Recipient, on the Grant Date, an Award of [_____] shares of Common Stock under the Plan subject to the vesting terms and conditions set forth below (the “Restricted Stock”).  Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the Plan or this Agreement and the terms and conditions herein, the Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement shall vest as follows:

 

·

50% of the Restricted Stock (the “Adjusted EBITDA Target Portion”) shall vest on the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Achievement Date. If the Adjusted EBITDA Performance Achievement Date does not occur, an amount of Restricted Stock equal to the 2018 Fiscal Year Adjusted EBITDA Pro Rata Portion, if any, shall vest on the 2019 Measurement Date.

·

50% of the Restricted Stock (the “ROIC Target Portion”) shall vest on the ROIC Performance Achievement Date. If the ROIC Performance Achievement Date does not occur, an amount of Restricted Stock equal to the 2018 Fiscal Year ROIC Pro Rata Portion, if any, shall vest on the 2019 Measurement Date.

 

Upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms of Section 1(a), the restrictions of Sections 1(a) and 5 shall lapse with respect to the Restricted Stock.  In the event that any portion of the Restricted Stock does not vest on or prior to the 2019 Measurement Date, such portion shall be forfeited by the Award Recipient, and cancelled by the Company, on and as of the first calendar day following the 2019 Measurement Date (the “Expiration Date”), and the Award Recipient shall have no further right or interest therein.  

 

(b)           Recordation of Restricted Stock.  The issuance of the Restricted Stock under this grant shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates.  As the Restricted Stock vests as described above, the Company shall appropriately record in its books and records the applicable number of shares of Common Stock held by the Award Recipient.

 

(c)            Rights as a Shareholder.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Award Recipient shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement, including voting rights.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, cash, share and other property dividends with respect to the Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement shall accrue and be held in the form in which paid on the underlying shares of Common Stock, but shall not be paid, until the applicable underlying shares of Common Stock have vested.

 


 

 

2.           Grant of Performance Share Units.  

 

(a)           Number and Nature of Performance Share Units.  As part of the Award granted hereunder, the Company also hereby grants to the Award Recipient, on the Grant Date, [_____][NOTE:  Represents the maximum amount achievable, i.e., an amount to equal 50% of shares specified in Section 1(a)] performance share units (the “Performance Share Units”). representing the opportunity to potentially earn additional shares of Common Stock, dependent upon the achievement of certain performance goals as described herein.  Each Performance Share Unit represents the right to receive, at settlement, one share of Common Stock for each Performance Share Unit that is ultimately earned and vested, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

 

(b)           Vesting and Settlement of Performance Share Units.  Except as otherwise provided in Sections 7 and 8, the Performance Share Units shall be settled as soon as reasonably practicable after the Compensation Committee has certified whether any or all of the Performance Share Units have been earned and vested, which shall occur no later than the 2019 Measurement Date.  The number of Performance Share Units that shall be earned and vested, if any, shall equal the sum, if any, of the 2018 Fiscal Year Adjusted EBITDA Target Excess Portion and the 2018 Fiscal Year ROIC Target Excess Portion.  Settlement is contingent upon the Award Recipient remaining in the employment or service of the Company or its subsidiaries through the settlement date, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.

 

(c)           Rights with Respect to the Performance Share Units.  The Performance Share Units granted hereunder do not and shall not give the Award Recipient any of the rights and privileges of a shareholder of Common Stock.  The Award Recipient’s rights with respect to the Performance Share Units shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the date or dates on which such rights become earned and vested, and the restrictions with respect to such Performance Share Units, lapse, in accordance with Section 7.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, cash, share and other property dividends with respect to the Performance Share Units granted under this Agreement shall accrue and be held in the form in which paid on the underlying shares of Common Stock, but shall not be paid, until the applicable underlying shares of Common Stock have been earned and settled.

 

3.           Additional Documents.  The Award Recipient agrees to execute such additional documents and complete and execute such forms as the Company may require for purposes of this Agreement.

4.           Incorporation of Plan. The Award Recipient acknowledges receipt of the Plan, a copy of which is annexed hereto, and represents that he or she is familiar with its terms and provisions and hereby accepts this grant of Restricted Stock and Performance Share Units subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may, from time to time, be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern and this Agreement shall be interpreted to minimize or eliminate any such conflict or inconsistency.

5.           Restrictions on Transfer.  Except in the case of vested Restricted Stock or shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to settlement of vested and earned Performance Share Units, the Award (and the components thereof) may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, whether by operation of law or otherwise.  

 

6.           Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code.  Under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the difference between the purchase price paid for the Restricted Stock (i.e., zero), and the fair market value of shares on the date any forfeiture restrictions lapse with respect to such shares, will be reportable as ordinary income at that time applicable to it.  An Award Recipient may elect to be taxed at the time the shares of Restricted Stock are acquired, rather than when such shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with thirty days after the Grant Date.  In such event, the Award Recipient will have to make a tax payment based on the fair market value of the shares on the Grant Date being treated as ordinary income.  The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit A hereto and the use of such election is not available with respect to the Performance Share Units covered

 


 

by this Award.  Failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period will result in the recognition of ordinary income by the Award Recipient as the forfeiture restrictions lapse.

 

BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, THE AWARD RECIPIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS HIS OR HER SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF THE AWARD RECIPIENT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.  THE AWARD RECIPIENT AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE OR SHE IS RELYING SOLELY ON HIS OR HER OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE ANY 83(b) ELECTION.

 

7.           Termination of Service.

 

(a)           Termination of Service Other than for Cause or Voluntary Termination.  If, prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock or vesting and earning of the Performance Share Units, the Award Recipient’s Service is terminated other than by reason of a Voluntary Termination or a termination by the Company for Cause, (i) the Restricted Stock shall remain eligible to vest pursuant to Section 1(a) after such termination occurs, (ii) the Performance Share Units shall remain eligible to vest pursuant to Section 2(b) in full if such termination of Service becomes effective between January 1, 2019 and the Expiration Date, (iii) a pro rata portion of the 2018 Fiscal Year Adjusted EBITDA Target Excess Portion and the 2018 Fiscal Year ROIC Target Excess Portion equal to the number of calendar days during the 2018 Fiscal Year during which the Award Recipient was in Service to the Company, divided by 365, shall remain eligible to be earned and vested pursuant to Section 2(b) if such termination of Service becomes effective between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018, and (iv) the Performance Share Units shall be deemed forfeited and cancelled if such termination of Service becomes effective on or prior to December 31, 2017.

 

(b)           Termination of Service for Cause; Voluntary Termination.  If, prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock or vesting and earning of the Performance Share Units, (i) the Award Recipient's Service is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Cause, or (ii) the Award Recipient terminates Service under circumstances constituting a Voluntary Termination, the remaining unvested Restricted Stock and unsettled Performance Share Units shall be forfeited by the Award Recipient and cancelled by the Company as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service, and the Award Recipient shall have no further right or interest therein unless the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine otherwise.  

 

(c)          Effect of Employment Agreements Generally.  The Company and the Award Recipient agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Employment Agreement, the terms of an Employment Agreement expressly defining whether and in what manner (including upon termination of employment) the unvested portion of the Award shall vest shall not control over the terms of this Agreement, and shall be disregarded in their entirety with respect to the terms of this Award.

 

8           Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control that occurs prior to each of the Expiration Date and the occurrence of any earlier forfeiture pursuant to Sections 7(a) or 7(b), (i) all of the remaining then-outstanding but unvested Restricted Stock shall automatically vest in full, (ii) the treatment of the Performance Share Units shall be as set forth in Section 17.3 or 17.4 of the Plan, as applicable (and for the avoidance of doubt, the “Performance Period” shall consist of the period between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018).

9.           Withholding.  The Award Recipient (or following the Award Recipient’s death, the Award Recipient’s estate, personal representative, or beneficiary, as applicable) shall be liable for any and all U.S. federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of Restricted Stock and vesting, earning and settlement of Performance Share Units, as well as for any and all applicable withholding tax requirements of any other country or jurisdiction.  When the Restricted Stock vests or Performance Share Units are settled, the Company shall cause the Award Recipient (or following the Award Recipient’s death, the Award Recipient’s estate, personal representative, or beneficiary, as applicable) to satisfy all of his or her tax withholding obligations by having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise become vested or settled having a Fair Market Value (as of the close of business on the vesting or settlement date) not in

 


 

excess of the minimum amount of tax withholding obligations required by law to be withheld with respect to such vesting.

 

10.           No Employment or Other Rights.  This grant of Restricted Stock and Performance Share Units does not confer upon the Award Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of, or otherwise provide Services to, the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof to terminate such Award Recipient’s employment or other service relationship at any time.  For purposes of this Agreement only, the term “employment” shall include circumstances under which Award Recipient provides consulting or other Services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as an independent contractor, but such Award Recipient is not, nor shall be considered, an employee; provided, however, nothing in this Section 10 or this Agreement shall create an employment relationship between such person and the Company or its applicable Subsidiary, as the usages described in this Section are for convenience only.

 

11.           Adjustment of and Changes in Common Stock. In the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, or other event or change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, the Committee shall make such adjustments, if any, as it deems appropriate in the number and class of shares subject to the Restricted Stock. The foregoing adjustments shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

 

12.           Discretionary Nature of Plan.  The Plan is discretionary in nature, and the Company may suspend, modify, amend or terminate the Plan in its sole discretion at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law.  The Restricted Stock and Performance Share Unit grants pursuant hereto are one-time benefits and do not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Restricted Stock, Performance Share Units or other benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock or Performance Share Units in the future.  Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number and type of shares of Restricted Stock or Performance Share Units granted, and the vesting and settlement provisions.

 

13.           Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

(a)           Applicable Law.  The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this instrument will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

The Committee shall give notice to the Award Recipient of any such alteration or amendment as promptly as practicable after the adoption thereof. The foregoing shall not restrict the
