(“MICP”)

 

REVISED: July 29, 2010 
 
Plan Name:    
Rexnord Management Incentive Compensation Plan (MICP)
 
Plan Objectives:    
Establish a meaningful variable compensation component of an attractive pay-for-performance total cash compensation program designed to support the achievement of Outstanding Strategic, Financial and Operational Performance
 
Plan Term:    
The Plan commences on the first day of the fiscal year and ends on the last day of the fiscal year
 
Plan Eligibility:
As approved by the CEO, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board. 
 
Target Bonus Levels:
Determined based on a mix of level-of-impact toward the achievement of Company objectives, and sound pay-for-performance total cash compensation guidelines
 
Performance Measures:
		
	•    
	EBITDA 

		
	•    
	Free Cash Flow (De-levered Free Cash Flow or Divisional Free Cash Flow) 

		
	•    
	Non-financial Goals and Objectives (Personal Performance Factor)

* NOTE - Financial Factor may be determined by a “mix” of more than one Organizational Financial Factor (percentage weighted - example: 80% Division + 20% Corporate)
 
Performance Criteria: 
 
Individual Achievements          =        “Personal Performance Factor”
 
TEAM Achievements        =        “Financial Factor”
 
Company Financial Factor based on:
 
		
	•    
	EBITDA

		
	•    
	Free Cash Flow*

 
* NOTES:
		
	•    
	EBITDA & Free Cash Flow targets will be recommended by Management, reviewed/approved by the Chairman, and then approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of RBS Global, Inc, (the “Compensation Committee”).

 
		
	•    
	% weighting of EBITDA and Free Cash Flow will normally be 50%/50% (variances from this weighting will be recommended by Management and reviewed/approved by the Chairman)

 

 
Financial Thresholds 
 
Minimum EBITDA or Minimum Free Cash Flow thresholds must be achieved in order to trigger a potential bonus payment under the plan (“The Cliff”)
 
"Cliff"        =        80% - 90% of Target*
 
* NOTE: The CEO shall have the discretionary ability to determine the applicable cliff to be assigned to each plan (with the exception of the consolidated plan, which is set by the Compensation Committee) at the outset of each fiscal year. For Fiscal Year 2011, the cliff has been set to 90%.
        
Upper Limit =        None (No Cap)

Miscellaneous Plan Guidelines:
 
		
	•    
	The Plan will be administered in accordance with the following guidelines:

		
	◦    
	Plan Design & Continuation - to be determined by the Compensation Committee.

		
	◦    
	Plan Participation - to be determined by the CEO, in consultation with the Chairman.

		
	◦    
	Payout Calculations and Timing - the Compensation Committee shall approve the total annual payout, as well as specific payouts to the CEO and the other Named Executive Officers. The rest of the payouts shall be approved by the CEO, in consultation with the Chairman.

		
	◦    
	The CEO shall apply discretionary management judgment, as appropriate, in administering all other aspects of the Plan, based on specific business situations or individual considerations. The CEO may delegate the daily administration of the Plan to other managers and associates, including payments of the amounts to be issued to participants under the Plan.

 
		
	•    
	Plan participants must be employed by the Company on the date of payment in order to qualify for payout (normally June)

		
	◦    
	Exceptions due to retirement, disability, or death will be at the sole discretion of the CEO, in consultation with the Chairman.

 
		
	•    
	Promotions / Transfers

		
	◦    
	Where a transfer from one organizational unit to another organizational unit occurs during the Plan year, the individual will receive a pro-rated award based on time and base salary / target MICP % in the multiple assignments

		
	◦    
	When a promotion occurs and the associate remains in the same organizational unit, the base salary and target MICP % in effect @ year-end (3/31) will be used for the entire year

 
		
	•    
	Partial Year participants will normally be eligible for a payment on a pro rata amount calculated at a rate of 1/12 of the annual amount for each complete calendar month

 
		
	•    
	Each Plan Participant will receive individual written notification of the following plan details at the beginning of each fiscal year:

		
	◦    
	Financial Factor “Mix”

		
	◦    
	Applicable EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Targets

		
	◦    
	% Weighting of EBITDA & Free Cash Flow in calculating Financial Factor

		
	◦    
	Applicable plan “Cliff”

VP, General Counsel and Secretary

  

  

  

1. Grant Under Plan.  This option is granted pursuant to the Presstek, Inc. (the “Company”) 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and is governed by, and subject to, all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control. Unless the context otherwise requires, terms used herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.

 

2. Grant as Nonqualified Stock Option.  This option is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”).

 

3. Vesting and Exercisability of Option.

 

(a)           The Company and the Optionee are parties to an Employment Agreement, dated September 30, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”).  Defined terms used in this Section 3 (a) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Employment Agreement.  In the event that the Optionee’s employment ceases by reason of the Employer’s termination of the Optionee’s employment during the Term other than for Cause, or if the Optionee voluntarily resigns for a Good Reason, or if Optionee’s employment terminates as a result of the Optionee’s death or Total Disability, or if either party provides the other party with written notice that the party does not desire to extend the employment relationship beyond the end of the Term, as set forth in Section 2 of the Employment Agreement, or if the parties fail to agree on the terms of a new employment agreement on or prior to June 30, 2013, then all unvested options that have previously been granted to Employee shall vest on the Termination Date.

 

(b)           Except as otherwise provided in the Employment Agreement no portion of this option may be exercised until such portion shall have vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the cover page hereof; provided, however, that in the event of a “Change in Control” of the Company (hereinafter defined), all options granted pursuant to this Agreement that have not previously vested shall become immediately vested and exercisable.

 

 

For purposes of this agreement a “Change in Control” shall mean the first to occur of any one of the following events:

 

 

(i)           any “person” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50.01% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s securities; provided, however, that the event described in this clause (i) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions:

 

 

	
  

	
(A)

	
by the Company or any of its subsidiaries,

 

 

	
  

	
(B)

	
by any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or

 

 

	
  

	
(C)

	
by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities.

 

 

(ii)           at any time during a period of 12 consecutive months, individuals who constitute the Board as of the beginning of the period (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of the period, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors who remain on the Board, including those directors whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, shall also be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;

 

 

(iii)           the consummation of a merger, consolidation, or other similar form of corporate reorganization of the Company, other than a merger, consolidation or reorganization which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) at least 50% of the combined voting power or the total fair market value of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

 

 

(iv)           a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets is consummated (it being understood that “substantially all” for purposes of this subsection (iv) means assets of the Company having a total gross fair market value equal to more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all assets of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or transactions).

 

4. Termination of Service.

 

(a) Termination Other than by reason of Death, Disability or for Cause.  If the Optionee ceases to be a employee of the Company, other than by reason of death or disability as defined in Section 5 hereof or as a result of termination for Cause as defined in Section 1.4 of the Plan, this option may thereafter be exercised, to the extent it is vested and exercisable on the date of such termination, until the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date of termination of employment.    This option shall not be affected by any change of service within or among the Company and its subsidiaries so long as the Optionee continuously remains an employee of the Company or any subsidiary.

 

(b) Termination for Cause.  Except as otherwise provided in the Employment Agreement, if the employment of the Optionee is terminated for Cause (as defined in Section 1.4 of the Plan), this option, whether vested or not, shall terminate immediately, shall immediately expire and be forfeited, and any and all rights which the Optionee may have had with respect to such option shall be extinguished.

 

5. Death; Disability.

 

(a) Death.  If the Optionee dies while in the employ of the Company, this option (i) shall fully vest to the extent any portion is unvested and (ii) may be exercised, by the Optionee’s estate, personal representative or beneficiary, at any time after the date of death for a period of one (1) year, but not later than the scheduled expiration date.

 

(b) Disability.  If the Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company by reason of his or her disability, this option (i) shall fully vest to the extent any portion is unvested and (ii) may be exercised, at any time after such cessation of service for a period of one (1) year, but not later than the scheduled expiration date.  For purposes hereof, “disability” means “permanent and total disability” as defined in Section 22(e) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

6. Partial Exercise.  This option may be exercised, to the extent that it is vested, in part at any time and from time to time, except that this option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

 

7. Payment of Exercise Price.

 

(a) Payment Options.  The aggregate exercise price for the Option Shares elected to be purchased shall be paid by one or any combination of the following forms of payment that are applicable to this option:

 

	
(i)  

	
in cash, by certified or bank check payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price of such Option Shares;

 

	
(ii)  

	
subject to Section 7(b) below, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market (or successor trading system), by delivery of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal as of the date of exercise to the aggregate exercise price of such Option Shares; or

 

	
(iii)  

	
if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market (or successor trading system), by method of a cashless exercise in such form as may be approved from time to time in the Committee’s sole discretion in an undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the aggregate exercise price of the Option Shares, or delivery by the Optionee to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the aggregate exercise price of the Option Shares.

 

(b) Limitations on Payment by Delivery of Common Stock.  If Section 7(a)(ii) is applicable, and if the Optionee delivers Common Stock held by the Optionee (“Old Stock”) to the Company in full or partial payment of the exercise price for the Option Shares elected to be purchased and the Old Stock so delivered is subject to restrictions or limitations imposed by agreement between the Optionee and the Company, an equivalent number of Option Shares shall be subject to all restrictions and limitations applicable to the Old Stock to the extent that the Optionee paid for the Option Shares by delivery of Old Stock, in addition to any restrictions or limitations imposed by this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may not pay any part of the exercise price hereof by transferring Common Stock to the Company unless such Common Stock has been owned by the Optionee free of any substantial risk of forfeiture for at least six months.

 

8. Securities Laws Restrictions on Resale.  Until registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor statute (the “Securities Act”), the Option Shares when issued upon exercise will be of an illiquid nature and will be deemed to be “restricted securities” for purposes of the Securities Act.  Accordingly, such shares must be sold in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.  Unless the Option Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, each certificate evidencing any of the Option Shares shall bear a legend specified by the Company.  It is the Comp0any’s intention to register the Option Shares prior to the first scheduled vesting date with respect to this option.

 

9. Method of Exercising Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, this option may be exercised by notice, given in writing or by an approved form of electronic transmission, to the Company at its principal executive office, or to such transfer agent as the Company shall designate.  Such notice shall state the election to exercise this option and the number of Option Shares which have vested at the time of delivery of such notice and which are being exercised and, if in writing, shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising this option.  Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the full aggregate exercise price of such shares or by delivery of required documentation pursuant to Section 7 (a) (iii), and the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing such shares as soon as practicable after the notice and the full purchase price having been received.  Such certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising this option (or, if this option shall be exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so request in the notice exercising this option, shall be registered in the name of the Optionee and another person jointly, with right of survivorship).  In the event this option shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 5 hereof, by any person or persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise this option.

 

10. Option Not Transferable.  This option is not transferable or assignable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  During the Optionee’s lifetime only the Optionee can exercise this option.

 

11. No Obligation to Exercise Option.  The grant and acceptance of this option imposes no obligation on the Optionee to exercise it.

 

12. No Obligation to Continue Service.  Neither the Plan nor this Agreement imposes any obligation on the Company to continue the Optionee’s employment.  Neither the Plan nor this Agreement interferes in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Optionee’s service at any time.

 

13. Adjustments.  Except as is expressly provided in the Plan with respect to certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for which the record date is prior to such date of exercise.

 

14. Withholding Taxes.  If the Company in its discretion determines that it is obligated to withhold any tax in connection with the exercise of this option, or in connection with the transfer of, or the lapse of restrictions on, any Common Stock or other property acquired pursuant to this option, the Optionee hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from the Optionee’s wages or other remuneration the appropriate amount of tax.  At the discretion of the Company, the amount required to be withheld may be withheld in cash from such wages or other remuneration or in kind from the Common Stock or other property otherwise deliverable to the Optionee on exercise of this option.  The Optionee further agrees that, if the Company does not withhold an amount from the Optionee’s wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company, the Optionee will make reimbursement on demand, in cash, for the amount underwithheld.

 

15. Disposition.  The Optionee agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Optionee transfers any Option Shares and agrees to provide the Company with any information concerning any such transfer required by the Company for tax purposes.

 

16. Lock-up Agreement.  The Optionee agrees that if the Company proposes to offer for sale to the public any shares of Common Stock pursuant to a public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and if requested by the Company or any underwriter engaged by the Company, Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company held by him, her or them (except for any securities sold pursuant to such registration statement) for such period following the effective date of the registration statement of the Company filed under the Act with respect to such offering, as the Company or such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith, not to exceed ninety (90) days.

 

17. Arbitration.  Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, in connection with, or relating to the performance of this Agreement or its termination shall be settled by arbitration in the state of Connecticut, pursuant to the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association.  Any award shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties and a judgment rendered thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

18. Provision of Documentation to Optionee.  By signing this Agreement, the Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement and a copy of the Plan.

 

19. Administration.  All questions of interpretation concerning this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee.  All determinations by the Committee shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in this option.

 

20. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Notices.  All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, if to the Optionee, to the address shown on the records of the Company, and if to the Company, to the Company’s principal executive offices, attention of the Corporate Secretary.

 

(b) Entire Agreement; Modification.

This Agreement may be modified, amended or rescinded only in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

 

(c) Fractional Shares.  If this option becomes exercisable for a fraction of a share because of the adjustment provisions contained in the Plan, such fraction shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

(d) Issuances of Securities; Changes in Capital Structure.  Except as expressly provided herein or in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to this option.  No adjustments need be made for dividends paid in cash or in property other than securities of the Company. If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, spin-off, split-up or other similar change in capitalization or event, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Optionee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Option Shares, except as otherwise determined by the Committee.

 

(e) Severability.  The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision.
