(b) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time an Award is granted, any Award Shares earned by a Participant under the Program and granted pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, and any Undelivered Award Shares to be granted pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, will be subject to the following additional time-based vesting requirements: (i) such Award Shares will vest in 20% annual increments beginning on the date of grant of the Award Shares and on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant of the Award Shares (the Vesting Schedule); and (ii) such Undelivered Award Shares will vest according to the same Vesting Schedule that would have been applicable had such Undelivered Award Shares been awarded as Award Shares pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof; provided, that to the extent that any portion of the Undelivered Award Shares would have vested according to the applicable Vesting Schedule prior to or as of the date on which such Undelivered Award Shares are actually granted pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof (the Vested Undelivered Award Shares), such Vested Undelivered Award Shares will be immediately vested when the Vested Undelivered Award Shares are actually granted pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof; provided further, that to the extent that any Award Shares or Undelivered Award Shares have been earned as a result of the Participants death or Disability pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, such Award Shares or Undelivered Award Shares shall not be subject to the additional time-based vesting requirements described in this Section 8(b).
8
(c) During the Vesting Schedule, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber any Award Shares, Cash Payments or Undelivered Award Shares that remain unvested, and the Award Shares, Cash Payments and Undelivered Award Shares that remain unvested will also remain subject to forfeiture. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a Participants employment with the Company terminates by reason of death or due to the Participant becoming Disabled during the Vesting Schedule, (i) any unvested Award Shares held by the Participant (or unvested Cash Payments) will be immediately vested (and any applicable restrictions will lapse), and (ii) all Undelivered Award Shares will be immediately vested (and any applicable restrictions will lapse) when such Undelivered Award Shares are actually granted pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof. Further, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or as provided for in an Individual Agreement, if a Participants employment with the Company is terminated without Cause during the Vesting Schedule, any unvested Award Shares held by the Participant (or unvested Cash Payments) and any Undelivered Award Shares shall not be forfeited by the Participant, but instead such unvested Award Shares (or unvested Cash Payments) and Undelivered Award Shares shall remain outstanding and shall continue to vest according to the Vesting Schedule described in Section 8(b) hereof. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or as provided for in an Individual Agreement, if a Participants employment with the Company terminates during the Vesting Schedule for any reason other than due to death, due to the Participant becoming Disabled or due to the Participants employment with the Company being terminated without Cause during the Vesting Schedule, (A) any unvested Award Shares held by the Participant (or unvested Cash Payments) at the time of such termination will thereupon be forfeited, and (B) any Undelivered Award Shares other than Vested Undelivered Award Shares will thereupon be forfeited.
(d) Except to the extent provided by Section 409A of the Code and as permitted by the Company, no Common Shares may be issued to the Participant and no cash payment may be made to the Participant at a time earlier than otherwise expressly provided in the Program.
(e) The Companys obligations to any Participant with respect to his or her Award will be satisfied in full upon the grant of any earned Award Shares (or Undelivered Award Shares, if applicable) corresponding to the Award or upon the payment of cash to the Participant pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof.
9. Shareholder Rights and Restrictions.
(a) No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company (including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends or voting rights) with respect to an Award or any Award Shares until any earned Award Shares (or Undelivered Award Shares, if applicable) are issued.
(b) Award Shares and Undelivered Award Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Grant relating to such Award Shares and Undelivered Award Shares.
9
(c) The obligations of the Company under this Program will be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver Award Shares in the future, and the rights of a Participant will be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor. No assets of the Company will be held or set aside as security for the obligations of the Company under this Program.
10. Transferability. Awards and unvested Award Shares will not be assignable or transferable by any Participant; provided, however, that no provision in the Program will prevent the transfer of an Award or any unvested Award Shares by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the death of the Participant.
11. Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that the Program comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. The Program will be administered in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
12. Interpretation. Any reference in the Program to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.
13. No Employment Rights. None of participation in the Program, the grant of any Award and the delivery of any Award Shares will confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company.
14. Severability. In the event that one or more of the provisions of the Program shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.
15. Adjustments, Etc. In the event of any (a) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split- off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing, the Committee shall make such substitutions or adjustments, if any, as are deemed necessary or equitable in its sole discretion to preserve the intent of this Program and to avoid any unintended windfalls or hardships with respect to the number or valuation of Awards or Award Shares.
16. Taxes. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under the Program, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld, which arrangements (in the discretion of the Committee) may include relinquishment of a portion of such benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a Participant is required to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable income and employment tax laws, the Participant may
10
elect to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by electing to have withheld, from the Award Shares required to be delivered to the Participant, Award Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or by delivering to the Company Common Shares held by such Participant. The Award Shares or Common Shares used for tax withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the market value per share of such Award Shares or Common Shares on the date the applicable amount is to be included in the Participants income. In no event will the market value per share of the Award Shares to be withheld pursuant to this Section 16 to satisfy applicable withholding taxes exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld.
17. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Ohio will govern this Program and all matters related hereto. If any Participant or the Company institutes a suit or other legal proceedings, whether in law or equity with respect to this Program, the Company and such Participant irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the Common Pleas Court of the State of Ohio (Cuyahoga County) or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.
18. Amendments, Etc. The Committee may amend the terms of any Award under the Program prospectively or retroactively, but subject to Section 15 hereof, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent. The Program, the Equity Plan and the Notices of Grant contain the entire agreement between the Company and the Participants relating to the Program.
