EXHIBIT 10.1


NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT




THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of December 2, 2014, between Joy Global Inc., a Delaware Corporation, (the “Company”) and (the “Employee”).  In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made in this Agreement and the mutual benefits to be derived from this Agreement, the Company and the Employee agree as follows:


1.     Grant of Stock Option.
		
	(a)
	Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Joy Global Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), the Company hereby grants to the Employee as of December 2, 2014, (the “Grant Date”) the right and option (the “Stock Option”) to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), at the exercise price of $50.31 per share, which was the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date (the “Exercise Price”).  The Stock Option is a Nonqualified Stock Option.  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Stock Option shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.  Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Plan.


		
	(b)
	Employee agrees to comply with the Company’s Executive Leadership Team Stock Ownership Policy, which is attached as Exhibit 1, with respect to Stock Options awarded under this Agreement.


		
	(c)
	If for any reason the Employee does not acknowledge and accept this Agreement by 5:00 p.m. Milwaukee time on December 1, 2015, then (i) the Employee shall be considered to have declined the grant of the Stock Option, (ii) the Company’s grant of the Stock Option shall be deemed automatically rescinded and the Stock Option shall be null and void and (iii) the Employee’s acceptance of this Agreement after such time shall have no legal effect and the Company shall not be bound by any such acceptance.  


2.    Exercisability of the Stock Option.  The Stock Option shall become vested and exercisable as follows:  one-third of the shares covered thereby (rounded up to the next whole share) on December 2, 2015, an additional one-third of such shares (rounded up to the next whole share) on December 2, 2016, and the remainder of such shares on December 2, 2017, subject in each case to the prior expiration of the Stock Option.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stock Option, to the extent outstanding, shall become immediately vested and fully exercisable upon (a) a Change in Control or (b) a Termination of Employment due to death or Disability.  Upon the effective date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment for any reason other than death or Disability, any portion of the Stock Option that is not vested as of such date in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 2 shall cease vesting and be immediately forfeited. 
3.    Method of Exercise of the Stock Option.  
		
	(a)
	The portion of the Stock Option as to which the Employee is vested shall be exercisable by delivery to the Secretary of the Company of a written notice stating the number of whole shares to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement and the date on which the Employee 











elects to exercise the Stock Option and shall be accompanied by payment of the full Exercise Price of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased.


		
	(b)
	The full Exercise Price of the Stock Option shall be paid in cash, by wire transfer, or by certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company, by exchange of shares of unrestricted Common Stock of the Company already owned by the Employee (that were purchased on the open market by the Employee or held for at least six months prior to exercise) and having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the full Exercise Price, or by any other procedure approved by the Committee, or by a combination of the foregoing.


		
	(c)
	Notice and payment of the Exercise Price may also be made through a brokerage firm pursuant to an arrangement approved by the Company in advance.


4.    Terminations of Employment.
		
	(a)
	If the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment due to Disability, the Stock Option, to the extent outstanding at the time of such Termination of Employment, shall become immediately vested and fully exercisable and may be exercised by the Employee at any time prior to the first to occur of (i) one year after such Termination of Employment or (ii) the expiration date of the Stock Option, and shall thereafter expire.


		
	(b)
	If the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment due to death, the Stock Option, to the extent outstanding at the time of such Termination of Employment, shall become immediately vested and fully exercisable and may be exercised by the Employee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise such Stock Option by bequest, inheritance or otherwise by reason of the death of the Employee at any time prior to the first to occur of (i) one year after such Termination of Employment or (ii) the expiration date of the Stock Option, and shall thereafter expire.


		
	(c)
	If the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment due to Retirement, the portion of the Stock Option, if any, which is exercisable at the time of such Termination of Employment may be exercised at any time prior to the first to occur of (i) three years after such Termination of Employment or (ii) the expiration date of the Stock Option, and shall thereafter expire.  Any portion of the Stock Option that is not exercisable at the time of such Termination of Employment shall expire as of such Termination of Employment.


		
	(d)
	If the Employee incurs a voluntary Termination of Employment by the Employee (other than Retirement), the portion of the Stock Option, if any, which is exercisable at the time of such Termination of Employment may be exercised at any time prior to the first to occur of (i) 30 days after such Termination of Employment or (ii) the expiration date of the Stock Option, and shall thereafter expire.  Any portion of the Stock Option that is not exercisable at the time of such Termination of Employment shall expire as of such Termination of Employment.


		
	(e)
	If the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause, the portion of the Stock Option, if any, which is exercisable at the time of such Termination of Employment may be exercised at any time prior to the first to occur of (i) 90 days after such Termination of Employment or (ii) the expiration date of the Stock Option, and shall thereafter expire.  Any portion of the Stock Option that is not exercisable at the time of such Termination of Employment shall expire as of such Termination of Employment.











		
	(f)
	If the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause, the entire Stock Option shall immediately expire as of such Termination of Employment




5.    Nontransferability.  The Stock Option is not transferable by the Employee, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, except as provided in the Plan.  Any assignment, pledge, transfer or other disposition, voluntary or involuntary, of the Stock Option made, or any attachment, execution, garnishment, or lien issued against or placed upon the Stock Option, except as provided in the Plan, shall be void.


6.    No Shareholder Rights Before Exercise.  The Employee or a transferee of the Stock Option shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the Stock Option until the Employee or transferee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and, if requested by the Company, has given the representation described in Section 12(a) of the Plan.  No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the events set forth above in this Paragraph 6 have occurred.


7.    Adjustment in the Event of Change in Stock.  In the event of a stock split, spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, or any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code), the number of shares subject to the Stock Option and the exercise price per share shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee as it determines to be appropriate in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to the Stock Option shall always be a whole number.  In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization (including, but not limited to, a change in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding) or a corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation or separation or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, the number and kind of shares subject to the Stock Option and/or the exercise price per share may be adjusted by the Board or Committee as the Board or Committee may determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to the Stock Option shall always be a whole number.  The determination of the Board or Committee regarding any adjustment will be final and conclusive.


8.    Event of Restatement
		
	(a)
	If the Company restates any previously reported financial statements and such restatement is required as a result of the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws:


		
	(i)
	the Employee shall pay to the Company any gain the Employee received in connection with the award under this Agreement to the extent, determined by the Board or Committee, that the Employee would have received less gain based upon the restated financial results, and “gain” for this purpose shall include the proceeds of any sale of stock of the Company, after the award has been settled; and


		
	(ii)
	the amount of the award under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent, determined by the Board or Committee, such amount would have been lower based upon the restated financial results; and


		
	(iii)
	the Employee shall be required to reimburse or repay to the Company any other amount that the Company determines to be due pursuant to any policy the Board or Committee adopts pursuant to section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform 











and Consumer Protection Act (or pursuant to any regulation, rule, stock exchange listing standard or other guidance implementing such section).
		
	(b)
	The Company may seek recovery of the amounts due under subsection (a) by all legal means available, including, to the extent permitted by law, seeking direct repayment from the Employee, withholding such amount from other amounts owed by the Company to the Employee (or with respect to the Employee), and causing the cancellation of any outstanding incentive award.


		
	(c)
	The determination of the Board or Committee regarding the consequence of any event of restatement as described in this Paragraph 8 shall be final and conclusive.  This Paragraph 8 does not affect the Company’s ability to pursue any and all available legal rights and remedies under governing law.


9.    Payment of Transfer Taxes, Fees and Other Expenses.  The Company agrees to pay any and all original issue taxes and stock transfer taxes that may be imposed on the issuance of shares acquired pursuant to exercise of the Stock Option, together with any and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith.
10.    Other Restrictions on Exercisability.  The exercise of the Stock Option and the delivery of share certificates upon such exercise shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine that (a) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law or (b) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body is, in the case of (a) or (b), necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, such exercise or the delivery or purchase of shares pursuant thereto, then in any such event such exercise shall not be effective unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
11.    Taxes and Withholdings.  No later than the date of exercise of the Stock Option granted hereunder, the Employee shall pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any federal, state, local and applicable non-U.S. taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of such Stock Option, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted or required by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind due to the Employee federal, state, local and applicable non-U.S. taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the exercise of such Stock Option.
12.    Confidential Information; Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation.  Nothing in this Agreement limits the Company’s or its Affiliates’ rights with respect to the protection of trade secrets, confidential information, or customer or employee relationships as may be provided under law or under any other policy, code of ethics, employee handbook, or agreement between the Company or its Affiliates and the Employee.  Instead, the covenants below shall supplement and be independent of any such rights.  Each of the covenants below protects separate interests and is to be interpreted and applied independently of each other as well as any other covenant contained in this Agreement.
		
	(a)
	Employee Acknowledgments.


		
	(i)
	The Employee acknowledges that he or she will receive Confidential Information (as defined in Paragraph 12(b) below) in connection with his or her employment.  The Employee also acknowledges that his or her employment may place him or her 











in contact, and in a position of trust, with customers of the Company or its Affiliates, and that in the course of employment the Employee may be given access to and asked to maintain and develop relationships with such customers.  The Employee acknowledges that such Confidential Information and customer relationships are of substantial value to the Company and its Affiliates, that this award of the Stock Option is designed to induce the Company and its Affiliates to share Confidential Information with the Employee and to further create incentives for the Employee to develop goodwill through customer relationships, and that it is reasonable for the Company to seek to prevent the Employee from giving competitors unfair access to Confidential Information and customer relationships.
		
	(ii)
	The Employee acknowledges that the Company and its Affiliates have multi-national operations and competitors.


		
	(b)
	Confidential Information.  The Employee shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates and their respective businesses that the Employee obtains during the Employee’s employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates and that is not public knowledge (“Confidential Information”).  The Employee acknowledges that the Confidential Information is highly sensitive and proprietary and examples of such Confidential Information include, without limitation:  product design information; product specifications and tolerances; manufacturing processes and methods; information regarding new product or new feature development; information regarding how to satisfy particular customer needs, expectations, and applications; information regarding strategic or tactical planning; information regarding pending or planned competitive bids; information regarding costs, margins, and methods of estimating; and information regarding key employees.  


		
	(c)
	Use and Disclosure of Confidential Information. Except on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates as may be required to discharge the Employee’s duties or with the prior written consent by the President or an Executive Vice President of the Company or as otherwise required by law or legal process, the Employee shall not use, communicate, divulge, or disseminate Confidential Information at any time during or after the Employee’s employment for so long as such use or disclosure of the Confidential Information would reasonably be likely to result in a competitive disadvantage to the Company or its Affiliates.  


		
	(d)
	Company Property.  All computer software, business cards, telephone lists, customer lists, price lists, contract forms, catalogs, records, files and know-how acquired while an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates are acknowledged to be the property of the Company or the applicable Affiliate(s) and shall not be duplicated, removed from the possession or premises of the Company or such Affiliate(s) or made use of other than in pursuit of the business of the Company and its Affiliates or as may otherwise be required by law or any legal process, and, upon Termination of Employment for any reason, Employee shall deliver to the Company, or the applicable Affiliate, without further demand, all such items and any copies thereof which are then in his or her possession or under his or her control.


		
	(e)
	Noncompetition.  Prior to and through an eighteen-month period following the Termination of Employment date, the Employee will not, within the geographic area where the 











Company or any of its Affiliates do business, except upon prior written permission signed by the President or an Executive Vice President of the Company, work for, consult with, or advise, directly or indirectly, as an employee, consultant, owner, partner, member, director, or officer, or make passive investments of more than three percent of the equity in, or otherwise engage in business with, any of the following, in a capacity where the Employee’s use of the goodwill described above in Paragraph 12(a)(i) or knowledge of trade secrets or other Confidential Information of the Company or any of its Affiliates would reasonably be likely to place the Company or any of its Affiliates at a competitive disadvantage: (i) the companies set forth on Exhibit 2, which are acknowledged by the Employee and the Company to be competitors of the Company or its Affiliates, or any of their successors or assigns; or, (ii) an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with any company described in clause (i).  Exhibit 2 is attached to and forms a part of this Agreement.  
		
	(f)
	Nonsolicitation of Personnel.  Prior to and through a two-year period following the Termination of Employment date, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly (i) solicit or induce for employment, or engagement as an independent contractor, on behalf of any individual or organization, or (ii) be involved in any way on behalf of any individual or organization in the hiring process of, any Company Employee.  For purposes of this Paragraph 12(f), a “Company Employee” is any person (other than any personal assistant hired to work directly for the Employee) who, at the time of such activity, is employed, or engaged as an independent contractor, by the Company or any of its Affiliates or was so employed or engaged within the previous three months. 


		
	(g)
	Nonsolicitation of Customers.  Prior to and through a one-year period following the Termination of Employment date, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, endeavor to entice away from Company or any of its Affiliates, any person, firm, corporation, partnership or entity of any kind, if (i) such person or entity is a customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or was a customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates within one year prior to the Termination of Employment date, and (ii) (A) the Employee regularly performed services for, or regularly dealt with, or regularly had contact with such customer on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (B) the Employee obtained knowledge, as a result of his or her position with the Company or any of its Affiliates, which would be beneficial to Employee’s efforts to convince such customer to cease doing business with the Company or any of its Affiliates, in whole or in part.


		
	(h)
	Noninterference with Business Relationships.  Prior to and through a one-year period following the Termination of Employment date, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, disrupt, or attempt to interfere with or disrupt, the business relationship between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any of its customers, suppliers, or employees.


		
	(i)
	Expiration of the Stock Option.  In the event of a breach of any of the Employee’s covenants under this Paragraph 12, the entire Stock Option shall immediately expire as of the date of such breach.  The Employee acknowledges and agrees that such expiration is not expected to adequately compensate the Company and its Affiliates for any such breach and that such expiration shall not substitute for or adversely affect the remedies to which the Company or any of its Affiliates is entitled under Paragraph 12(j), at law, or otherwise.


		
	(j)
	Remedies.  In the event of a breach of any of the Employee’s covenants under this Paragraph 12, the Employee shall return to the Company any Common Stock obtained 











under this Agreement in exchange for the purchase price (if any) the Employee paid for such Common Stock.  If the Employee has sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of Common Stock obtained under this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to receive from the Employee a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of sale, transfer, or other disposition minus the purchase price (if any) paid by the Employee.  Furthermore, in the event of a breach of any of the Employee’s covenants under this Paragraph 12, it is understood and agreed that the Company and any of its Affiliate(s) that employed the Employee shall be entitled to injunctive relief, as well as any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available.  The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Employee in Paragraphs 12(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h) of this Agreement independently relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants, obligations or agreements will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law.  Therefore, the Employee agrees that the Company and any of its Affiliate(s) that employed the Employee shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the Employee from committing any violation of such covenants, obligations, or agreements.  These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies that the Company or its Affiliates may have.
		
	(k)
	Jurisdiction.  With respect to all disputes under this Paragraph 12, the Company and the Employee hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the state or jurisdiction where the Employee’s primary office is located (or, if litigation is brought after the Termination of Employment date, where the Employee’s most recent primary office was located), except if such location is outside of the United States, the Company and the Employee hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Delaware.  The parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that (i) the sole and exclusive appropriate venue for any suit or proceeding relating to such matters shall be in such a court, (ii) all claims with respect to any such matters shall be heard and determined exclusively in such court, (iii) such court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any such dispute, and (iv) each hereby waives any and all objections and defenses based on forum, venue or personal or subject matter jurisdiction as they may relate to any suit or proceeding brought before such a court in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 12.


(l)    Additional Acknowledgements.  The Employee acknowledges that:


		
	(i)
	the limitations as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity to be restrained by Paragraph 12 are reasonable and acceptable to the Employee, and do not impose any greater restraint than is reasonably necessary to protect the trade secrets and other Confidential Information, goodwill, and other legitimate business interests of the Company and its Affiliates; and




		
	(ii)
	the performance by the Employee of the covenants and agreements contained herein, and the enforcement by the Company of the provisions contained herein, will cause no undue hardship on the Employee.













13.    Notices.  All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other party or by facsimile, overnight courier, or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

or to such other address or facsimile number as any party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance with this Paragraph 13.  Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.  


14.    Successors.  Except as otherwise provided hereunder, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company, and to any transferee or successor of the Employee pursuant to Paragraph 8.
15.    Laws Applicable to Construction.  The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to contracts executed in and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.









16.    Severability; Reformation.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.  If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected by that provision and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.  The parties believe the restrictions in Paragraph 12 to be reasonable and necessary.  However, if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any restriction in Paragraph 12 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. 
17.    Conflicts and Interpretation.  In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control.  In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, any term which is not defined in this Agreement, or any matters as to which this Agreement is silent, the Plan shall govern including, without limitation, the provisions thereof pursuant to which the Committee has the power, among others, to (a) interpret the Plan, (b) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and (c) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
18.    Headings.  The headings of paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
19.    Amendment.  This Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.  The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this Agreement.  
20.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute one and the same original.
21.    Third-party Beneficiaries.  Each of the Company’s Affiliates is considered an intended third-party beneficiary under this Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement extend to these third-party beneficiaries.


22.    Miscellaneous.


		
	(a)
	This Agreement shall not confer upon the Employee any right to continue as an employee of the Company or its Affiliates, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of the Employee at any time.


		
	(b)
	This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employee has executed this Agreement, and the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed in its name and on its behalf, all as of the date first written above.
