Exhibit 10.7

GENPACT LIMITED
2007 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of ___________ (the “Award Date”), is made by and between Genpact Limited, an exempted limited company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”) and ____________________ (“Participant”).  To the extent not defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Genpact Limited 2007 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan for the purpose of promoting the interests of the Company and its shareholders by attracting and retaining exceptional directors, officers, employees and consultants and enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company.

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant to Participant a performance share award under the Plan as provided for herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:

1.Grant of Performance Shares Award.  The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date, a performance share award (the “Award”) under the Plan entitling Participant to receive a number of Shares based on the extent, if any, to which the applicable vesting criteria are satisfied.  The initial number of Shares that shall be used to determine Participant’s rights pursuant to this Award is ___________ (the “Target Performance Shares”).  The number of Target Performance Shares shall be used solely to calculate the maximum number of Shares that may be issued to Participant under this Agreement (“Actual Performance Shares”).  Both the number of Target Performance Shares and Actual Performance Shares shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan.  The number of Shares issuable under the Award may be subject to reduction as set forth in Paragraph 3.

2.Vesting Requirements.  The Shares subject to the Award shall initially be unvested and shall vest only in accordance with the vesting provisions of this Paragraph 2 or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 4. The Shares in which Participant shall vest under this Paragraph 2 shall be determined pursuant to a two-step process:  (i) first there shall be calculated the maximum number of Shares in which Participant can vest based upon the level at which the Performance Goals specified in Appendix A of this Agreement (the “Performance Goals”) for the performance period commencing on __________ ______  and ending on _____________________ (the “Performance Period”) are actually attained and (ii) then the number of the Actual Performance Shares resulting from the clause (i) calculation in which 

 



 

Participant shall actually vest shall be determined on the basis of Participant’s completion of the applicable service vesting provisions set forth below.  Accordingly, the vesting of the Shares shall be calculated as follows:

(a)Performance Vesting. The number of Actual Performance Shares to which Participant may become entitled under this Agreement shall be calculated following the end of the Performance Period and shall be based on the level at which the Performance Goals for the Performance Period are determined to have been attained.  The number of Actual Performance Shares to which Participant may become entitled at the end of the Performance Period shall be calculated by multiplying the designated number of Target Performance Shares by a performance percentage ranging from 0% to 200%.  The actual performance percentage to be used for such purpose shall be determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in Appendix A and shall be tied to the attained level of Company performance for the Performance Period described in Appendix A.  In no event may the number of Actual Performance Shares exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the Target Performance Shares.

(b)Service Vesting:  The Actual Performance Shares so determined represent the maximum number of Shares in which Participant can vest hereunder.  The actual number of Shares in which Participant shall vest shall be determined as follows:

(i)If Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate from ______________ through ________________ (the “Service Period”), on _________________ Participant shall vest in 100% of the Actual Performance Shares.  

(ii)In the event of Participant’s termination of continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate that occurs during the Service Period by reason of death or Disability, Participant shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares determined by multiplying (A) the number of Actual Performance Shares (if any) to which Participant would be entitled based on the actual level at which the Performance Goals are achieved by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of employment or service in the Service Period prior to the termination (rounded up to the closest whole month, but not to exceed thirty-six (36)) and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36).  

(iii)Should Participant cease continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate for any other reason prior to the end of the Service Period, the Award shall be immediately canceled and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under the Award.

3.Performance Goals.  

(a)Committee Determination.  Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine whether and the extent to which the Performance Goals have been achieved for the Performance Period and shall determine the number of Actual Performance Shares, if any, issuable to Participant with respect to the level of achievement of the Performance Goals based on completion of the service vesting requirement; provided that with respect to any Award to a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee 

 

2

 



 

shall have certified the achievement of the Performance Goals.  The Committee’s determinations with respect to the achievement of the Performance Goals shall be based on the Company’s audited financial statements, subject to any adjustments made by the Committee in accordance with Paragraph 3(b) below.  If the threshold levels for the Performance Goals are not achieved, the Award shall be cancelled and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under the Award

(b)Committee Discretion to Reduce or Eliminate Award.  Notwithstanding satisfaction, achievement or completion of the Performance Goals (or any adjustments thereto as provided below), the number of Shares issuable hereunder may be reduced or eliminated by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine. 

(c)Modification of Performance Goals.  The Committee shall have the right to adjust or modify the calculation of the Performance Goals as permitted under the Plan. 

(d)Section 162(m). To the extent the Committee has determined that this Award is intended to comply with the performance-based exception to Section 162(m) of the Code and Participant is a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, all actions taken hereunder (including without limitation any adjustments of Performance Goals) shall be made in a manner which would comply with Section 162(m) of the Code.

4.Change of Control:  In the event a Change of Control occurs during the Service Period, the number of Shares issuable under this Award and the date of issuance of the Shares shall be determined as follows notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary:  

(a)In the event the Change of Control occurs prior to completion of the Performance Period and Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through the effective date of that Change of Control, then this Award shall be converted into a right to receive the number of Target Performance Shares without any measurement of Performance Goal attainment to date, subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(d) below.  

(b)If the Change of Control occurs on or after completion of the Performance Period but prior to completion of the Service Period and Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through the effective date of that Change of Control, this Award shall entitle Participant to receive the number of Actual Performance Shares based on the level of attainment of the Performance Goals, subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(d) below.  

(c)If this Award is assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the Change of Control in accordance with the Plan, then provided Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through the completion of the Service Period, the Shares issuable under this Award (as determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b)) or other consideration payable in connection with such assumption, continuation or substitution, shall be issued on __________________ or as soon as 

 

3

 



 

practicable thereafter but in no event later than  the applicable short-term deferral period under applicable tax rules.  If Participant's continued employment or service terminates prior to completion of the Service Period, then except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4(f) and Paragraph 4(g), the Award shall be immediately cancelled upon such termination and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares or other consideration under the Award.  

(d)If this Award is not assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the Change of Control in accordance with the Plan, then the Shares issuable under this Award (as determined pursuant to Paragraphs 4(a) or 4(b)) or other consideration payable with respect to such Shares in consummation of the Change of Control shall be issued on the effective date of the Change of Control or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) business days after such effective date. 

(e)Following a Change of Control, Participant shall not have any right to receive any Shares under this Award in excess of the number of Shares determined under this Paragraph 4.

(f)In the event of Participant’s termination of continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate that occurs during the Service Period by reason of death or Disability, Participant shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares determined by multiplying (A) the number of Shares (if any) to which Participant would be entitled in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b) had Participant’s employment or service not terminated by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of service in the Service Period prior to the termination (rounded up to the closest whole month, but not to exceed thirty-six (36)) and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36).  To the extent not issued at the time of the Change of Control, such Shares (or other consideration issuable under this Award) shall be issued immediately upon such termination or as soon as practicable thereafter, but not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the year of such termination. 

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of Participant’s Involuntary Termination that occurs during the Service Period and within twenty-four (24) months following a Change of Control in connection with which this Award is assumed, continued or substituted, Participant shall immediately vest in the Shares (as determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b) above) or other consideration payable in connection with such assumption, continuation or substitution issuable under this Award and such Shares or other consideration shall be issued immediately upon such Involuntary Termination or as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) business days after such Involuntary Termination.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS

This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Performance Share Award granted to Participant if Participant works or resides outside the United States.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Plan or the Agreement and have the meanings set forth therein.

1.No Acquired Right.  Participant acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, the grant of awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Committee and the Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.  All decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

(b)This Award (and any similar awards the Company may in the future grant to Participant, even if such awards are made repeatedly or regularly, and regardless of their amount), and Shares acquired under the Plan (A) are wholly discretionary and occasional, are not a term or condition of employment and do not form part of a contract of employment, or any other working arrangement, between Participant and the Company or any Affiliate, (B) do not create any contractual entitlement to receive future awards or benefits in lieu thereof; and (C) do not form part of salary or remuneration for purposes of determining pension payments or any other purposes, including without limitation termination indemnities, severance, resignation, payment in lieu of notice, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-term service awards, pension or retirement benefits, welfare benefits or similar payments, except as otherwise required by the applicable law of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the award is subject.

(c)This Award and the Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.

(d)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

(e)In the event that Participant’s employer is not the Company, the grant of this Award and any similar awards the Company may grant in the future to Participant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company and, furthermore, the grant of this Award and any similar awards the Company may grant in the future to Participant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with Participant’s employer or any Affiliate.  

(f)The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or the Shares.

 

A-1

 



 

(g)Participant shall have no rights, claim or entitlement to compensation or damages as a result of Participant’s cessation of employment for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of contract or local labor law, insofar as these rights, claim or entitlement arise or may arise from Participant’s ceasing to have rights under this Award as a result of such cessation or loss or diminution in value of the Award or any of the Shares issuable under this Award as a result of such cessation, and Participant irrevocably releases his or her employer, the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, from any such rights, entitlement or claim that may arise.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such right or claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived his or her entitlement to pursue such rights or claim.

2.Data Protection.

(a)In order to facilitate Participant’s participation in the Plan and the administration of the Award, it will be necessary for the Company (or its Affiliates or payroll administrators) to collect, hold and process certain personal information and sensitive personal information about Participant (including, without limitation, Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, nationality, social insurance or other identification number and job title and details of the Award and other awards granted, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding and Shares held by Participant).  Participant consents explicitly, willingly, and unambiguously to the Company (or its Affiliates or payroll administrators) collecting, holding and processing Participant’s personal data and transferring this data (in electronic or other form) by and among, as applicable, Participant’s employer, the Company and its Affiliates and other third parties (collectively, the “Data Recipients”) insofar as is reasonably necessary to implement, administer and manage the Plan and the Award.  Participant authorizes the Data Recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the data for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and the Award.  Participant understands that the data will be transferred to E*TRADE, or such other broker or third party as may be selected by the Company in the future which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  Participant understands that the Data Recipients may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country.

(b)The Data Recipients will treat Participant’s personal data as private and confidential and will not disclose such data for purposes other than the management and administration of the Plan and the Award and will take reasonable measures to keep Participant’s personal data private, confidential, accurate and current.  Participant understands that the data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan.

(c)Participant understands that Participant may, at any time, view his or her personal data, require any necessary corrections to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company but acknowledges that without the use of such data it may not be practicable for the Company to administer Participant’s involvement in the Plan 

 

A-2

 



 

in a timely fashion or at all and this may be detrimental to Participant and may result in the possible exclusion of Participant from continued participation with respect to this Award or any future awards under the Plan.

3.Responsibility for Taxes.  This provision supplements Paragraph 5(b) of the Agreement.  Participant acknowledges that regardless of any action the Company (or any Affiliate employing or retaining Participant) takes with respect to any or all Applicable Taxes, the ultimate liability for all Applicable Taxes legally due by Participant is and remains Participant’s responsibility and that the Company (and its Affiliates) (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Applicable Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, and the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at settlement; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Applicable Taxes.  Further, if Participant is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction between the Award Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or Participant's employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Applicable Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.

SINGAPORE

Securities Law Notice.  The Award is being granted pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Singapore Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”).  The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.  Participant should note that such grant is subject to section 257 of the SFA and Participant will not be able to make any subsequent sale in Singapore, or any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares underlying the Award 

 

B-6

 



 

unless such sale or offer in Singapore is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA.

Chief Executive Officer, Director Notification Requirement.  If Participant is the Chief Executive Officer, a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singapore Affiliate of the Company, Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act.  Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singaporean Affiliate of the Company in writing when Participant receives an interest (e.g., the Award or Shares) in the Company or any Affiliate.  In addition, Participant must notify the Singaporean Affiliate when Participant sells Shares or shares of any other Affiliate (including when Participant sells Shares acquired under the Award).  These notifications must be made within two (2) days of acquiring or disposing of an interest in the Company or any Affiliate.  In addition, within two (2) days of becoming the Chief Executive Officer, a director, associate director or shadow director, Participant must notify the Singaporean Affiliate of any interest Participant may have in the Company or any Affiliate.  Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to Participant’s reporting obligations under the Singapore Companies Act. 

SPAIN

Nature of Grant.  This provision supplements Section 1 of Addendum A to the Agreement titled “No Acquired Rightsˮ:

In accepting the Award, Participant consents to participate in the Plan and acknowledges that Participant has received a copy of the Plan.

Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant performance share awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or an Affiliate throughout the world.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or an Affiliate.  Consequently, Participant understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and any Shares issued are not part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any Affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  Further, Participant understands that Participant will not be entitled to continue vesting in the Award after termination of Participant’s service.  In addition, Participant understands that the Award would not be granted to Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to herein; thus, Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of the Award and any right to the Award shall be null and void.

Further, the vesting of the Award is expressly conditioned on Participant’s continued service, such that upon termination of Participant’s service for any reason whatsoever, the Award may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of termination of Participant’s service (as determined by the Agreement).  This will be the case, for example, even if (1) Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons; or (2) Participant’s termination of service is due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or Participant’s employer.  Consequently, upon Participant’s termination of service for any of the above reasons, Participant may automatically lose any rights to the Award to the extent not vested on the date of Participant’s termination of service, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.
