WHEREAS, the Committee has determined to cancel the Prior Grant and to replace it with the Replacement Grant, as defined below;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Company’s Plan, the Company desires to grant to the Employee, and the Employee desires to accept, the Replacement Grant upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, which terms, conditions and restrictions have been approved by the Committee;

The Company hereby grants to the Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts, a restricted stock unit redeemable by the delivery of shares of Common Stock, together with Dividend Equivalents (as hereinafter defined) to the Employee (or after the Employee's death, the beneficiary designated by the Employee for such purpose), which restricted stock unit

Date and the date of such redemption or cancellation, together with interest thereon at the rate credited to amounts deferred under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, as such rate may be changed from time to time.

 

The term "Trading Day" means a day that the principal United States national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading is open.

 

In consideration of the receipt of the Replacement Grant, the Employee waives all rights under, and agrees to the cancellation of, the Prior Grant.

of the RSU pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”), including, without limitation, any federal, state or other income tax, or any F.I.C.A., state disability insurance tax or other employment tax (the date upon which the Company and/or the Employer becomes so obligated shall be referred to herein as the “Withholding Date”), then the Employee shall pay to the Company on the Withholding Date, the minimum aggregate amount that the Company and the Employer are so obligated to withhold,
as such amount shall be determined by the Company (the “Minimum Withholding Liability”), which payment shall be made by the automatic cancellation by the Company of a portion of the RSU Shares (such shares to be valued on the basis of the aggregate Fair Market Value thereof on the Withholding Date, plus the value of the Dividend Equivalents associated with such shares on the Withholding Date); provided that the RSU Shares to be cancelled shall be those that would otherwise have been delivered to the
Employee the soonest upon redemption of the RSU; and provided further, however, that the Employee may instead pay to the Company, by check or wire transfer delivered or made within one business day after the Withholding Date, an amount equal to or greater than the Minimum Withholding Liability.

7







  


 

 

EXHIBIT 10.27






 

 

(i) except to the extent specifically set forth in a prospectus delivered by the Company to the Employee together with this Agreement, made any representation or given any advice to the Employee with
respect to the realization or recognition of any Taxes by the Employee; or

 

(ii) undertaken or agreed to structure the RSU, or the grant of the RSU, to reduce or eliminate the Employee's liability or potential liability for Taxes.

 

4. Certain Corporate Transactions.  In
the event that the outstanding securities of any class then comprising the RSU Shares are increased, decreased or exchanged for or converted into cash, property and/or a different number or kind of securities, or cash, property and/or securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding securities, in either case as a result of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, dividend (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend) or other distribution, stock split, reverse stock
split or the like, then, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, the term "RSU Shares," as used in this Agreement, shall, from and after the date of such event, include such cash, property and/or securities so distributed in respect of the RSU Shares, or into or for which the RSU Shares are so increased, decreased, exchanged or converted.

 

5. Effect of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, upon the advice of its counsel, the Company determines that the redemption of an RSU Share pursuant to this Agreement is or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A ("409A Taxes") as applicable at the time such redemption is otherwise required under this Agreement, then:

 

(a) such redemption shall be delayed until the date that is six months after the date of the Employee's “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Section 409A) with the Employer,
or such shorter period that, in the opinion of such counsel, is sufficient to avoid the imposition of 409A Taxes (the "Payments Delay Period"); and

 

(b) if all or any part of such RSU Share has been converted into cash pursuant to Section 4 hereof, then:

 

(i) upon redemption of such RSU Share, such cash shall be increased by an amount equal to interest thereon for the Payments Delay Period at a rate equal to the 120-month rolling average yield to maturity
of the index called the "Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporates, A Rated, 15+ Years Index" (or any successor index, or if neither exists, the most similar index which does exist) as of December 31 of the year preceding the year in which the Payments Delay Period commences, compounded annually; and

 





  



8







  


 

 

EXHIBIT 10.27






 

 

(ii) the Company shall fund the payment of such cash to the Employee upon redemption of such RSU Share, including the interest to be paid with respect thereto (collectively, the “Delayed Cash Payment”),
by establishing and irrevocably funding a trust for the benefit of the Employee.  Such trust shall be a grantor trust described in Section 671 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and intended not to cause tax to be incurred by the Employee until amounts are paid out from the trust to the Employee.  The trust shall provide for distribution of amounts to the Employee in order to pay taxes, if any, that become due on the amounts as to which payment is being delayed during the Payment Delay
Period pursuant to this Section 5, but only to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code without the imposition of 409A Taxes.  The establishment and funding of such trust shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the Delayed Cash Payment pursuant to this Section 5.

 

6. Transferability.  Neither
the RSU nor any interest therein may be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner.

 

7. Data Privacy.

The interpretation and construction by the Committee of the Plan, this Agreement and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee for the purpose
of administering the Plan shall be final and binding upon the Employee.  Until the RSU is redeemed in full, the Company shall, upon written request therefor, send a copy of the Plan, in its then-current form, to the Employee.

 

9. Employment Rights.  No
provision of this Agreement shall (a) be deemed to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) confer upon the Employee any right to be or continue to be in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) affect the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of the Employee, with or without cause, or (d) confer upon the Employee any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
other than the Plan.  The Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Employer may terminate the employment of the Employee at any time and for any reason, or for no reason, unless applicable law provides otherwise or unless the Employee and the Employer are parties to a written employment agreement that expressly provides otherwise.

redundancy or end-of-service payments, or any bonuses, long-service awards or pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments;

 

(g) the future value of the RSU is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and

 

(h) the Employee hereby indemnifies the Company and the Employer against, and irrevocably releases and holds them harmless from, any claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arising from the cancellation
of the RSU in accordance with this Agreement, or any diminution in the value of the RSU.

 

11. Successors.  This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, on the one hand, and the Employee and his or her heirs, beneficiaries, legatees and personal representatives, on the other hand.

13. Severability.  Any
provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.
