If a Participant’s Termination of Employment is voluntarily terminated by the Company without Cause:  (i) that portion of any Performance Share Unit Awards that has not Vested on or prior to such date of termination shall automatically lapse and be forfeited at the close of business on the date of such Participant’s Termination of Employment , and (ii) all Vested Performance Share Unit Awards previously granted to the Participant under the Plan shall be payable at the Fair Market Value as of the end of the last quarter preceding the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

 

(d)                                 Termination for Cause.  If a Participant’s Termination of Employment is voluntarily terminated by the Company for Cause:  (i) that portion of any Performance Share Unit Awards that has not Vested on or prior to such date of termination shall automatically lapse and be forfeited at the close of business on the date of such Participant’s Termination of Employment, and (ii) any Vested Performance Share Unit Awards previously granted to the Participant under the Plan shall automatically lapse and be forfeited at the close of business on the date of such Participant’s Termination of Employment.

 

(e)                                  Distribution of Vested Performance Share Unit Awards.  The distribution of the Fair Market Value of the Vested Performance Share Units shall be made pursuant to the following schedule, provided that all of the Participant’s PSUs are fully Vested and earned under an Award Agreement, and subject to terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement:

 

(i)                                     fifty percent (50%) of the Fair Market Value (as of the end of the most recent quarter preceding the Vesting Date) of the fully Vested PSUs shall be distributed within ninety (90) days after all of the PSUs under an Award Agreement have reached the Vesting Date (the “First Distribution”).  The First Distribution shall reduce the number of the Participant’s Vested PSUs by the number of PSUs necessary to satisfy the Participant’s First Distribution.  The Shine Incentive PSUs shall not be eligible for a First Distribution.

 

(ii)                                  a Participant’s remaining Vested PSUs shall be distributed within ninety (90) days after an event described in Article VI or Article VII of the Plan that permits such distribution (the “Second Distribution”).  The Fair Market Value of the Vested PSUs for the Second Distribution shall be determined as of the end

(A)                               all unvested and vested PSU rights will terminate and be forfeited; and

 

(B)                               the Participant will be required to immediately repay all PSU payments previously made to such Participant.

 

Such forfeiture and clawback shall be in addition to any other right the Company may have with respect to any such violation or breach.  The Company may undertake any legal action to collect and recover the amount of any such required repayment.

 

6.6                               Dissolution.  Distributions will be permitted if the Plan is terminated within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Internal Revenue Code Section 331, subject to any requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary and unless otherwise specifically provided in an Award Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, any Performance Goal or other condition with respect to any Performance Share Units shall be deemed to have been satisfied in full, and such Award shall be fully vested and distributable upon the date of the Change of Control of the Company, and shall be paid within ninety (90) days after such event.

Except to the extent specifically required by applicable securities laws, none of the Company, an Affiliate or the Committee shall have any duty or obligation to affirmatively disclose material information to a record or beneficial holder of common stock or an Award, and such holder shall have no right to be advised of any material information regarding the Company or any Affiliate at any time prior to, upon, or in connection

ARTICLE IX

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

9.1                               Amendments and Termination.  The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan at any time, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would materially impair the rights of a Participant under an Award theretofore granted without the Participant’s consent.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, an amendment may be made without a Participant’s consent to cause the Plan or an Award to comply with applicable law (including, but not limited to, any changes needed to avoid taxation of an Award as a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” under Code Section 409A).  The Committee may amend, alter or discontinue the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, on the same conditions and limitations (and exceptions to limitations) as apply to the Board, and further subject to any approval or limitations the Board may impose.

 

9.2                               Unfunded Status of Plan.  It is intended that the Plan be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation.  The Company may create trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Performance Share Units or make payments; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan and all property held thereunder and income thereon shall remain solely the property and rights of the Company (without being restricted to satisfying the obligations created under the Plan) and shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors.  The Company’s obligations created under the Plan shall constitute a general, unsecured obligation, payable solely out of its general assets.

 

9.3                               Withholding.  Any payment to be made under this Plan or an Award Agreement shall be subject to the withholding of such amount therefrom as may be required to comply with any applicable federal, state or other law.  Participants shall bear all taxes on amounts due under the Plan or an Award Agreement to the extent no taxes or insufficient taxes are withheld, irrespective of whether withholding is required.

 

9.4                               Governing Law; Construction; Venue; Jury-Trial Waiver.  This Plan and any Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with Utah law, excluding its choice-of-law principles, except where federal law may preempt the application of state law.  The Company and a Participant, by accepting an Award, mutually agree to (i) submit and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction, including removal jurisdiction, of the state and federal courts located in Salt Lake County, Utah (or the county where the Company’s principal executive offices are located if different) for any action or proceeding relating to this Plan or an Award Agreement; (ii) waive any objection to such venue; (iii) agree that any judgment in any such action or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions; and (iv) irrevocably waive the right to trial by jury and agree not to ask for a jury in any such proceeding.

9.5                               Nontransferability; Beneficiaries.  No Award shall be assignable or transferable by the Participant.  No Award shall be subject to the debts of a Participant or Beneficiary or subject to attachment or execution or process in any court action or proceeding unless otherwise provided in this Plan.  If a deceased Participant has named no Beneficiary, any Award held by the Participant at the time of death shall be transferred as provided in his or her will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

9.6                               No Effect on Employment Relationship.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to alter the relationship between the Company or an Affiliate and a Participant, or the contractual relationship between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate if there is a written contract regarding such relationship.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company or an Affiliate and a Participant or any guaranty of employment or continued employment.  The Company or an Affiliate and each of the Participants continue to have the right to terminate the employment or service relationship at any time for any reason, except as provided in a written contract.  The Company or an Affiliate shall have no obligation to retain the Participant in its employ or service as a result of this Plan.  There shall be no inference as to the length of employment or service hereby, and the Company or an Affiliate reserves the same rights to terminate the Participant’s employment or service as existed prior to the individual becoming a Participant in this Plan.

 

9.7                               Indemnification.  Indemnification of members of the Committee and the Board with respect to any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined under the Company’s bylaws.  The foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under contract, as a matter of law or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

 

9.8                               Severability.  If any provision of this Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereby, and this Plan shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

 

9.9                               Successors and Assigns.  This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor and assign of the Company.  All obligations imposed upon a Participant, and all rights granted to the Company hereunder, shall be binding upon the Participant’s heirs, legal representatives and successors.

 

9.10                        Entire Agreement.  This Plan and the Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and the Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Plan shall control.

 

9.11                        Code Section 409A.  All payments to be provided under this Plan and the Award Agreements are intended to be exempt from or to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid any additional tax arising pursuant thereto, and this Plan and the Award Agreements shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.  Notwithstanding the preceding, no persons connected with this Plan or the Award Agreements in

 

13











 

any capacity, including but not limited to the Company and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, makes any representation, commitment or guarantee that any tax treatment, including but not limited to, federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to any amounts payable under the Plan or the Award Agreements or that such tax treatment will apply to a Participant.

 

9.12                        Gender and Number.  Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.

 

9.13                        Headings.  The headings contained in this Plan are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Plan.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Plan has been executed this            day of June, 2011.
