1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company and Lowerco (as applicable) grant to the Grantee, as of the above Date of Grant, Restricted Stock Units for the number of Stock Units stated above (the “Stock Units”), on the terms provided herein and in the Plan. The Stock Units represent a conditional right to receive Units (as defined below) consisting of Class A Common shares, Class L Common shares and Lowerco Preferred shares (the “Shares”). The Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement are granted to the Grantee in an Employment capacity as an Employee.

 

 


 

2. Stock Unit Account. The Company shall establish and maintain a Stock Unit account (the “Account”) as a bookkeeping account on its records for the Grantee and shall record in the Account the number of Stock Units awarded to the Grantee. No Shares shall be issued to the Grantee at the time the Award is made, and the Grantee shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Companies with respect to any Stock Units recorded in the Account or amounts credited to the Account pursuant to Section 8. The Grantee shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Companies by reason of this Award or the Account established for the Grantee.

Upon the exercise of a Call Option pursuant to Section 6(a) or a Put Option, the Board will provide prompt written notice of its determination of the Fair Market Value of the applicable Shares (the “Board Notice”) to Grantee. Grantee shall have the right to contest the Fair Market Value thereof by notice to the Company within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the Board Notice.

Board Notice within such time period, then the Company shall retain an independent third party appraiser reasonably acceptable to Grantee and to the Company to determine the fair market value of such Shares, and the determination of such independent appraiser shall govern. For this purpose, the appraiser last used by the Company in the ordinary course of business will be considered an independent appraiser. In the event that the Fair Market Value of the Shares as determined by such independent appraiser exceeds by the lesser of $200,000 or 10% the fair market value determined by the Board, then the Company shall bear the full cost of the appraisal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Grantee’s termination of Employment described in Section 4(a) during the 2009 or 2010 calendar year, “Vest on a Pro Rata Basis” means that the Grantee’s Stock Units shall continue to be earned through the end of the Year of Termination (but not thereafter), provided that only a portion of the Stock Units subject to this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement that otherwise would have been earned at the end of such year shall be earned as of the end of the calendar year, such portion being determined by multiplying (i) the number of Stock Units that otherwise would have been earned at the end of such calendar year based upon attainment of pre-determined performance goals, by (ii) (A) the number of days in which the Grantee was employed by Employer during the Year of Termination divided by (B) 365 (rounded to the nearest whole number of Stock Units); and the Stock Units that are earned for the Year of Termination as described in this paragraph shall vest as of the last day of the Year of Termination pursuant to Section 4(a); and
  (p)   Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis” means that Grantee’s Stock Units shall be subject to accelerated vesting at the time of a Change of Control as follows:

-4-


 

IRR) shall become fully vested and exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the Change of Control; and (C) if the Investor IRR as of the Change of Control date is less than 14%, there will be no acceleration of vesting. Vesting on the one-year anniversary of the Change of Control is contingent on continued employment through the one-year anniversary date, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(a).
  (ii)   If a Change of Control occurs and the requirements of subsection (i) are not met, there will be no acceleration of vesting.
  (iii)   In determining the amount that has been received by the Investors, the gross value of all cash (including prior distributions the Investors or their Affiliates have received with respect to the Shares) and/or securities (with the fair value of such securities to be determined by the Board, which shall be entitled to take into account any restrictions on transferability, liquidity or saleability of such securities) received by the Investors shall be taken into account, minus the amount of commissions, fees and expenses payable by the Investors to the investment bankers and professional advisors in connection with the Change of Control. Management and transaction fees specified in the Management Agreement shall be excluded, provided that any increases in such fees from the fees in effect as of the date of the Grantee’s Employment Agreement must be customary (on a percentage of equity basis or in the case of transaction fees as a percentage of transaction size) compared to fees charged by private equity sponsors to their portfolio companies. In evaluating the amount of the transaction consideration, the Board may take into consideration amounts paid into escrow and contingent payments in connection with any transaction.
As used herein with respect to the Stock Units, the Stock Units shall be earned based on performance and shall vest based on Section 4 below, and the term “vest” means that the restrictions on the right to receive payment pursuant to the Stock Units lapse in whole or in specified part.
4. Vesting of Stock Units. The Stock Units shall be subject to forfeiture until the Stock Units vest. The Stock Units shall vest, in accordance with Schedule A, based on the Grantee’s continued Employment; provided, however, that:
  (a)   if the Grantee’s Employment terminates as a result of (i) termination of the Grantee by Employer without Cause, (ii) resignation by the Grantee for Good Reason, or (iii) the Grantee’s Disability or death, then (A) the Stock Units for the year of termination shall Vest on a Pro Rata Basis, (B) any unvested portion of the Stock Units that was earned for the 2009 or 2010 calendar year shall become fully vested as of the Date of Termination, and (C) if a Change of Control has occurred, any amount that is scheduled to vest on the one-year anniversary of the Change of Control pursuant to Section 3(p)(i) above shall become fully vested as of the Date of Termination;
  (b)   with respect to the portion of the Stock Units that is earned for the 2009 or 2010 calendar year, if the Grantee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Grantee’s retirement or as a result of the Grantee’s resignation other than for Good Reason, then the Stock Units shall be

 

-5-


 

deemed to have stopped vesting as of the Date of Termination of such Grantee, and no portion of the Stock Units shall be earned for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs;
  (c)   with respect to the portion of the Stock Units that is earned for calendar years after 2010, if the Grantee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Grantee’s Retirement or as a result of the Grantee’s resignation other than for Good Reason, then the Stock Units shall be deemed to have stopped vesting as of the beginning of the year containing the Date of Termination of such Grantee;
  (d)   if the Grantee’s Employment terminates as a result of termination by Employer for Cause, then the Stock Units will be immediately forfeited by the Grantee and terminate as of the Date of Termination;
  (e)   upon a Change of Control through December 31, 2013, the Stock Units shall Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis; provided that, upon such a Change of Control following which Stock continues to be held by any of the Principal Investors, if the Change of Control would not result in full acceleration of vesting pursuant to this Section 4(e) without giving effect to this proviso, the Administrator shall, as it considers appropriate in its sole discretion, either (i) cause the Stock Units to Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis treating the Fair Market Value of any retained Stock as an amount received by the Investors in connection with the Change of Control, or (ii) permit the Stock Units to Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis in connection with any disposition by the Principal Investors of a material portion of their remaining Stock through December 31, 2013; and
  (f)   notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control after the 2009 or 2010 calendar year, any portion of the Stock Units that were earned with respect to the 2009 or 2010 calendar year based on Schedule A and that have not yet vested shall vest in full upon the Change of Control.
5. Payment of Stock Units. The Grantee’s vested Stock Units shall be paid in Shares upon the first to occur of (i) a Change of Control that meets the requirements of a “change in control event” under Section 409A of the Code, (ii) the Grantee’s separation from service without Cause, or (iii) December 31, 2014. If a Change of Control occurs before the Stock Units are fully vested, any Stock Units that subsequently vest shall be paid upon the first to occur of (i) the Grantee’s separation from service without Cause or (ii) December 31, 2014. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a distribution of Shares under this Agreement upon separation from service shall only be made upon the Grantee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and a distribution shall be made at a time and in a manner consistent with Section 409A. When the vested Stock Units become payable, the Companies will issue to the Grantee Shares representing the Units underlying the vested Stock Units, subject to satisfaction of the Grantee’s tax withholding obligations as described below, within 30 business days after the payment event.

6. Certain Calls and Puts.
  (a)   Call on Resignation Without Good Reason. If the Grantee’s Employment terminates as a result of resignation by the Grantee other than for either Good Reason or Retirement, for the period ending one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the later of Grantee’s Date of Termination or the date on which Shares are paid to Grantee pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Company and Lowerco shall have a Call Option at the then Fair Market Value of such Shares, provided, however, that the Companies’ Call Options pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall cease to apply on the earlier of an IPO or the fifth anniversary of the Closing. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term resignation does not include the departure of Grantee by reason of the Sale of a Business where Grantee is employed by the Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions.
  (b)   Call on Termination For Cause. If the Grantee’s Employment is terminated by the Employer for Cause, for the period ending one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the later of Grantee’s Date of Termination or the date on which Shares are paid to Grantee pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Company and Lowerco shall have a Call Option at the then Fair Market Value of such Shares, provided, however, that the Companies’ Call Options pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall cease to apply on an IPO.
  (c)   Put on Disability or Death. If the Grantee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Grantee’s Disability or death (and if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof)) the Grantee (or, the Grantee’s Beneficiary) shall have a Put Option at any time after Grantee’s Date of Termination, but prior to an IPO.
  (d)   The Company or Lowerco may assign its rights under this Section 6 to any of their subsidiaries or to the Investors.
  (e)   The provisions of this Section 6 supersede Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement with respect to the Stock Units granted hereunder and the related Shares.
7. Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Grantee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon payment in accordance with Section 5 herein are subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.
8. Distributions, Redemptions, etc.
  (a)   Upon the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, there shall be credited to the Account an amount equal to the product of (i) the per-Share amount paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Unit in connection with the Adjustment Event, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that are included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event, multiplied by (iii) the number of Units underlying the Grantee’s Stock Units pursuant to this Award.

 

-7-


 

  (b)   If any other cash dividend or distribution is paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Units, there shall be credited to the Account an amount equal to the product of (i) the per-Share amount paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Units, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares of the applicable class of stock that are included in each Unit, multiplied by (iii) the number of Units underlying the Grantee’s Stock Units pursuant to this Award.
  (c)   The amount credited to the Account pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to vested Stock Units is referred to as the “Bonus Value.” The amount credited to the Account pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to unvested Stock Units is referred to as the “Deferred Bonus Value.”
  (d)   On the fifth business day after the end of each calendar quarter, the Company shall pay to the Grantee in cash an amount equal to the Bonus Value accrued by the Grantee for such quarter, subject to applicable tax withholding. The Company shall pay to the Grantee the Deferred Bonus Value accrued in connection with any unvested Stock Units on the fifth business day after the date on which such unvested Stock Units vest, subject to applicable tax withholding.
  (e)   In the case of a redemption or repurchase of Shares, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to outstanding Stock Units will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding Shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 8.
9. Forfeiture. Upon delivery of Shares pursuant to the Stock Units, the Grantee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that the Grantee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between the Grantee and the Company or any of its Affiliates. If the Company determines that the Grantee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants or with the provisions of any agreement between the Grantee and the Company or any of its Affiliates, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company or the applicable party, the Committee may cancel any unpaid Stock Units. The Company shall also have the following (and only the following) additional remedies:
  (a)   During the six months after any delivery of Shares pursuant to the Stock Units, such delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s option if the Grantee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates or if the Grantee breaches any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall notify the Grantee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, the Grantee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares (or to the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash

 

-8-


 

equivalent thereof valued at the time of the exchange), and (iii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded delivery.
  (b)   The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to the Grantee under or by reason of the Grantee’s holding the Stock Units, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of the Grantee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates or the Grantee’s breach of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no offset shall accelerate or defer the distribution date of amounts payable under this Agreement in violation of Section 409A of the Code, and any offset in violation of Section 409A shall be null and void. Accordingly, the Grantee acknowledges that (i) the Company may withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such withholding, or escrow, subject, however, to compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. The Grantee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.
10. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon the lapse of any restrictions on the Stock Units shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.
11. Transfer of Stock Units. The Stock Units may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, or to a legal representative in the event of the Grantee’s incapacity.
12. Withholding. The payment of the Shares and other amounts in accordance with this Agreement will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Grantee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares in accordance with Section 5 herein and paid cash in accordance with Section 8 hereof, are subject to the Grantee promptly paying to the Companies in cash or by Share withholding as described below (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. The Grantee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Grantee. Unless the Grantee elects otherwise in a time and manner specified by the Company, any tax withholding obligation with respect to the payment of Shares shall be satisfied by having Shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state, and local tax liabilities.

 

-9-


 

13. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The Award and payment of the Stock Units are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares issued under the Plan, (ii) changes in capitalization and (iii) other requirements of applicable law. The Administrator shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Stock Units pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.
14. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of the Stock Units, nor the issuance of Shares or other payments in accordance with this Agreement, shall give the Grantee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline the Grantee at any time, or affect any right of the Grantee to terminate his or her Employment at any time.
15. Delay in Payments for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” of a publicly traded corporation under Section 409A of the Code at the time of separation from service and if payment of any amount under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six months after the separation from service pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, payment of such amount shall be delayed as required by Section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 10 days after the end of the six-month period. If the Grantee dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid to the personal representative of the Grantee’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Grantee’s death.
16. Section 409A. It is intended that the Stock Units awarded hereunder shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (and any regulations and guidelines issued thereunder), and this Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. Each payment under this Agreement is considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. As provided under Section 409A, if calculation of the amount of a payment is not administratively practicable due to events beyond the control of the Grantee, the payment will be treated as made upon the date specified hereunder if the payment is made during the first calendar year in which calculation of the amount of the payment is administratively practicable. This Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Grantee in any respect deemed by the Committee to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
17. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

For example, if Actual Internal EBITA in 2009 is 100% of the Original Base Case, then approximately 8.89% of the Stock Units vest on December 31, 2009 (1/56.25 x 5 Actual Internal EBITA percentage points), and if cumulative Actual Internal EBITA for 2009 and 2010 is 105% of the cumulative Original Base Case, then approximately 26.67% of the Stock Units vest on December 31, 2010 ([1/56.25 x 10 Internal EBITA percentage points x 2 years] — 8.89%).
(2) With respect to each of the 2009 and 2010 calendar years, the Stock Units shall vest and be exercisable with respect to 25% of the total number of Stock Units earned under paragraph (1) above at the end of the applicable calendar year (“Initial Vesting Date”); and the remaining 75% of the total number of Stock Units earned for the calendar year shall vest and be exercisable in equal monthly installments over the 36 months following the Initial Vesting Date starting with the first monthly anniversary of the Initial Vesting Date. All vesting shall be conditioned on continued service with the Company through the applicable vesting date.

 

 


 

(3) With respect to each of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 calendar years, the Stock Units shall be exercisable to the extent that the Base Case is achieved during such period as follows:
(a) if Actual Internal EBITA for such calendar year is less than or equal to 95% of the Base Case for that year, none of the Stock Units will earned at the end of that year;
(b) if Actual Internal EBITA for such calendar year is equal to or greater than 106.25% of the Base Case for that year, 1/5 of the Stock Units shall be earned (rounded to the nearest .0001 of a Stock Unit) at the end of that year; and
(c) if Actual Internal EBITA for such calendar year is between 95% and 106.25% of the Base Case for that year, the number of Stock Units that vest and become exercisable at the end of that year will be determined by interpolation at the linear rate of 1/56.25 of the Stock Units per one percentage point of Actual Internal EBITA (rounded to the nearest .0001 of a Stock Unit).
For vesting in years after 2010, cumulative vesting will not be available.
For purposes of this Vesting Schedule:
“Performance Period” means the five-year period beginning on January 1, 2009.
“Actual Internal EBITA” means the Company’s actual earnings before interest, taxes and amortization for a year, determined based on the Company’s audited financials. Actual Internal EBITA shall not be reduced by costs of the acquisition of the Company by the Investors or the Company’s proposed spin-off of its availability services business or related items, management and transaction fees payable to the Investors or their affiliates, extraordinary items (as determined by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO) or non-cash equity incentive expenses. Actual Internal EBITA shall be calculated without giving effect to purchase accounting and shall be adjusted in good faith by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO to reflect the consequences of acquisitions and dispositions. Unless otherwise determined by the Board or Compensation Committee and agreed to by the CEO, the adjustment for acquisitions and dispositions shall be based on a cost of funds used for acquisitions and released by dispositions at a rate of 11%, compounded at the rate of 7.5% per annum, provided that transactions with a purchase price in excess of $50 million may merit an alternative adjustment, in which case the rate will be as mutually agreed by the CEO and the Board or Compensation Committee. Actual Internal EBITA targets shall be appropriately adjusted by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO in case of changes in GAAP promulgated by FASB or the SEC or changes in depreciation methodology.
“Base Case” means the Actual Internal EBITA targets for the Company during each calendar year in the Performance Period, as set forth below:

  (j)   Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis” means that Grantee’s Stock Units shall be subject to accelerated vesting at the time of a Change of Control as follows:

In evaluating the amount of the transaction consideration, the Board may take into consideration amounts paid into escrow and contingent payments in connection with any transaction.

As used herein with respect to the Stock Units, the Stock Units shall be earned based on performance and shall vest based on Section 4 below, and the term “vest” means that the restrictions on the right to receive payment pursuant to the Stock Units lapse in whole or in specified part.
4. Vesting of Stock Units. The Stock Units shall be subject to forfeiture until the Stock Units vest. The Stock Units shall vest, in accordance with Schedule A, based on the Grantee’s continued Employment; provided, however, that:
  (a)   if the Grantee’s Employment terminates as a result of (i) termination of the Grantee by Employer without Cause, (ii) the Grantee’s Disability or death, or (iii) with respect to Stock Units earned for a calendar year after 2010, the Grantee’s Retirement, then (A) the Stock Units for the year of termination shall Vest on a Pro Rata Basis, (B) any unvested portion of the Stock Units that was earned for the 2009 or 2010 calendar year shall become fully vested as of the Date of Termination, and (C) if a Change of Control has occurred, any amount that is scheduled to vest on the one-year anniversary of the Change of Control pursuant to Section 3(j)(i) above shall become fully vested as of the Date of Termination;
  (b)   with respect to the portion of the Stock Units that is earned for the 2009 or 2010 calendar year, if the Grantee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Grantee’s resignation or Retirement, then the Stock Units shall be deemed to have stopped vesting as of the Date of Termination of such Grantee, and no portion of the Stock Units shall be earned for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs;

  (d)   if the Grantee’s Employment terminates as a result of termination by Employer for Cause, then the Stock Units will be immediately forfeited by the Grantee and terminate as of the Date of Termination;
  (e)   upon a Change of Control through December 31, 2013, the Stock Units shall Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis; provided that, upon such a Change of Control following which Stock continues to be held by any of the Investors, if the Change of Control would not result in full acceleration of vesting pursuant to this Section 4(d) without giving effect to this proviso, the Administrator shall, as it considers

 

-4-


 

appropriate in its sole discretion, either (i) cause the Stock Units to Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis treating the Fair Market Value of any retained Stock as an amount received by the Investors in connection with the Change of Control, or (ii) permit the Stock Units to Vest on a Return-on-Equity Basis in connection with any disposition by the Investors of a material portion of their remaining Stock during through December 31, 2013; and
  (f)   notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control after the 2009 or 2010 calendar year, any portion of the Stock Units that was earned with respect to the 2009 or 2010 calendar year based on Schedule A and that has not yet vested shall vest in full upon the Change of Control.
5. Payment of Stock Units. The Grantee’s vested Stock Units shall be paid in Shares upon the first to occur of (i) a Change of Control that meets the requirements of a “change in control event” under Section 409A of the Code, (ii) the Grantee’s separation from service without Cause, or (iii) December 31, 2014. If a Change of Control occurs before the Stock Units are fully vested, any Stock Units that subsequently vest shall be paid upon the first to occur of (i) the Grantee’s separation from service without Cause or (ii) December 31, 2014. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a distribution of Shares under this Agreement upon separation from service shall only be made upon the Grantee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and a distribution shall be made at a time and in a manner consistent with Section 409A. When the vested Stock Units become payable, the Companies will issue to the Grantee Shares representing the Units underlying the vested Stock Units, subject to satisfaction of the Grantee’s tax withholding obligations as described below, within 30 business days after the payment event.
6. Certain Calls and Puts. The Stock Units granted hereunder and the related Shares are subject to the call and put rights contained in Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement, except that such put rights shall be granted only if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof); provided, however, that the call rights contained in Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement shall not apply in the event of a termination resulting from Disability or death.
7. Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Grantee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon payment in accordance with Section 5 herein are subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.
8. Distributions, Redemptions, etc.
  (a)   Upon the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, there shall be credited to the Account an amount equal to the product of (i) the per-Share amount paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Unit in connection with the Adjustment Event, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that are included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event, multiplied by (iii) the number of Units underlying the Grantee’s Stock Units pursuant to this Award.

 

-5-


 

  (b)   If any other cash dividend or distribution is paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Units, there shall be credited to the Account an amount equal to the product of (i) the per-Share amount paid with respect to Shares underlying the Stock Units, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares of the applicable class of stock that are included in each Unit, multiplied by (iii) the number of Units underlying the Grantee’s Stock Units pursuant to this Award.
  (c)   The amount credited to the Account pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to vested Stock Units is referred to as the “Bonus Value.” The amount credited to the Account pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to unvested Stock Units is referred to as the “Deferred Bonus Value.”
  (d)   On the fifth business day after the end of each calendar quarter, the Company shall pay to the Grantee in cash an amount equal to the Bonus Value accrued by the Grantee for such quarter, subject to applicable tax withholding. The Company shall pay to the Grantee the Deferred Bonus Value accrued in connection with any unvested Stock Units on the fifth business day after the date on which such unvested Stock Units vest, subject to applicable tax withholding.
  (e)   In the case of a redemption or repurchase of Shares, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to outstanding Stock Units will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding Shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 8.
9. Forfeiture. Upon delivery of Shares pursuant to the Stock Units, the Grantee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that the Grantee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between the Grantee and the Company or any of its Affiliates. If the Company determines that the Grantee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants or with the provisions of any agreement between the Grantee and the Company or any of its Affiliates, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company or the applicable party, the Committee may cancel any unpaid Stock Units. The Company shall also have the following (and only the following) additional remedies:
  (a)   During the six months after any delivery of Shares pursuant to the Stock Units, such delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s option if the Grantee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates or if the Grantee breaches any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall notify the Grantee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, the Grantee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares (or to the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash

 

-6-


 

equivalent thereof valued at the time of the exchange), and (iii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded delivery.
  (b)   The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to the Grantee under or by reason of the Grantee’s holding the Stock Units, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of the Grantee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates or the Grantee’s breach of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no offset shall accelerate or defer the distribution date of amounts payable under this Agreement in violation of Section 409A of the Code, and any offset in violation of Section 409A shall be null and void. Accordingly, the Grantee acknowledges that (i) the Company may withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such withholding, or escrow, subject, however, to compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or of any duty to the Company or any of its Affiliates would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. The Grantee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.
10. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon the lapse of any restrictions on the Stock Units shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.
11. Transfer of Stock Units. The Stock Units may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, or to a legal representative in the event of the Grantee’s incapacity.
12. Withholding. The payment of the Shares and other amounts in accordance with this Agreement will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Grantee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares in accordance with Section 5 herein and paid cash in accordance with Section 8 hereof, are subject to the Grantee promptly paying to the Companies in cash or by Share withholding as described below (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. The Grantee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Grantee. Unless the Grantee elects otherwise in a time and manner specified by the Company, any tax withholding obligation with respect to the payment of Shares shall be satisfied by having Shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state, and local tax liabilities.

13. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The Award and payment of the Stock Units are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares issued under the Plan, (ii) changes in capitalization and (iii) other requirements of applicable law. The Administrator shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Stock Units pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.
14. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of the Stock Units, nor the issuance of Shares or other payments in accordance with this Agreement, shall give the Grantee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline the Grantee at any time, or affect any right of the Grantee to terminate his or her Employment at any time.
15. Delay in Payments for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” of a publicly traded corporation under Section 409A of the Code at the time of separation from service and if payment of any amount under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a period of six months after the separation from service pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, payment of such amount shall be delayed as required by Section 409A of the Code, and the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 10 days after the end of the six-month period. If the Grantee dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the accumulated postponed amount shall be paid to the personal representative of the Grantee’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Grantee’s death.
16. Section 409A. It is intended that the Stock Units awarded hereunder shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (and any regulations and guidelines issued thereunder), and this Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. Each payment under this Agreement is considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. As provided under Section 409A, if calculation of the amount of a payment is not administratively practicable due to events beyond the control of the Grantee, the payment will be treated as made upon the date specified hereunder if the payment is made during the first calendar year in which calculation of the amount of the payment is administratively practicable. This Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Grantee in any respect deemed by the Committee to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
17. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

(ii) if Actual Internal EBITA for such calendar year is equal to or greater than 106.25% of the Original Base Case for that year, 1/5 of the Stock Units shall be earned (rounded to the nearest .0001 of a Stock Unit) at the end of that year;
provided that, only through December 31, 2010, any Stock Units that do not vest at the end of 2009 may vest at the end of 2010 based on the cumulative Actual Internal EBITA as a percent of the cumulative Original Base Case. For example, if Actual Internal EBITA in 2009 is 100% of the Original Base Case, then approximately 8.89% of the Stock Units vest on December 31, 2009 (1/56.25 x 5 Actual Internal EBITA percentage points), and if cumulative Actual Internal EBITA for 2009 and 2010 is 105% of the cumulative Original Base Case, then approximately 26.67% of the Stock Units vest on December 31, 2010 ([1/56.25 x 10 Internal EBITA percentage points x 2 years] — 8.89%).
(2) With respect to each of the 2009 and 2010 calendar years, the Stock Units shall vest and be exercisable with respect to 25% of the total number of Stock Units earned under paragraph (1) above at the end of the applicable calendar year (“Initial Vesting Date”); and the remaining 75% of the total number of Stock Units earned for the calendar year shall vest and be exercisable in equal monthly installments over the 36 months following the Initial Vesting Date starting with the first monthly anniversary of the Initial Vesting Date. All vesting shall be conditioned on continued service with the Company through the applicable vesting date.

 

 


 

(3) With respect to each of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 calendar years, the Stock Units shall be exercisable to the extent that the Base Case is achieved during such period as follows:
(a) if Actual Internal EBITA for such calendar year is less than or equal to 95% of the Base Case for that year, none of the Stock Units will earned at the end of that year;
(b) if Actual Internal EBITA for such calendar year is equal to or greater than 106.25% of the Base Case for that year, 1/5 of the Stock Units shall be earned (rounded to the nearest .0001 of a Stock Unit) at the end of that year; and
(c) if Actual Internal EBITA for such calendar year is between 95% and 106.25% of the Base Case for that year, the number of Stock Units that vest and become exercisable at the end of that year will be determined by interpolation at the linear rate of 1/56.25 of the Stock Units per one percentage point of Actual Internal EBITA (rounded to the nearest .0001 of a Stock Unit).
For vesting in years after 2010, cumulative vesting will not be available.
For purposes of this Vesting Schedule:
“Performance Period” means the five-year period beginning on January 1, 2009.
“Actual Internal EBITA” means the Company’s actual earnings before interest, taxes and amortization for a year, determined based on the Company’s audited financials. Actual Internal EBITA shall not be reduced by costs of the acquisition of the Company by the Investors or the Company’s proposed spin-off of its availability services business or related items, management and transaction fees payable to the Investors or their affiliates, extraordinary items (as determined by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO) or non-cash equity incentive expenses. Actual Internal EBITA shall be calculated without giving effect to purchase accounting and shall be adjusted in good faith by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO to reflect the consequences of acquisitions and dispositions. Unless otherwise determined by the Board or Compensation Committee and agreed to by the CEO, the adjustment for acquisitions and dispositions shall be based on a cost of funds used for acquisitions and released by dispositions at a rate of 11%, compounded at the rate of 7.5% per annum, provided that transactions with a purchase price in excess of $50 million may merit an alternative adjustment, in which case the rate will be as mutually agreed by the CEO and the Board or Compensation Committee. Actual Internal EBITA targets shall be appropriately adjusted by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO in case of changes in GAAP promulgated by FASB or the SEC or changes in depreciation methodology.
“Base Case” means the Actual Internal EBITA targets for the Company during each calendar year in the Performance Period, as set forth below:
