Stock Unit Grant Agreement

Attachment

 

 

1.Grant of Stock Units.

(a)Vesting.  Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the Plan or this Agreement and the terms and conditions herein, Stock Units granted under this Agreement shall vest with respect to all of the shares of Stock covered hereby on the second anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”) provided that Award Recipient continues in Service and has not had a Separation from Service on each such date; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the period prior to the Vesting Date unless otherwise provided under this Agreement or the Plan; provided further, that for the avoidance of doubt, following Award Recipient’s Separation from Service, no additional Stock Units shall vest.

(b)Additional Documents.  The Award Recipient agrees to execute such additional documents and complete and execute such forms as the Company may require for purposes of this Agreement.

(c)Issuance of Stock.  The shares of Stock underlying the Award Recipient’s vested Stock Units will be issued as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i) the date that the Stock Units vest pursuant to the vesting schedule, or (ii) the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year that immediately follows the first of such events (the date or dates such shares of Stock are delivered, the “Settlement Date”).  The issuance of shares of Stock under this grant shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates.  On the Settlement Date, the Company shall also deliver to the Award Recipient the number of additional shares of Stock, the number of any other securities of the Company and the amount of any other property (in the case of cash dividends, assuming such dividends had been reinvested in shares of Stock as of the ex-dividend date thereof), in each case that the Company distributed per share of Stock to holders generally during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Settlement Date, multiplied by the number of shares of Stock that are being delivered to the Award Recipient under this paragraph, without interest, and less any tax withholding amount applicable to such distribution.  To the extent that the Stock Units are forfeited prior to vesting, the right to receive such distributions shall also be forfeited.

(d)Shareholder Rights.  The Award Recipient has no rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the Stock Units unless and until the Stock relating to the Stock Units has been delivered.  No adjustments are made for dividends, distributions, or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before the certificate is issued (or appropriate book entry is made), except as described above.  

2.Incorporation of Plan. The Award Recipient acknowledges receipt of the Plan, a copy of which is annexed hereto, and represents that he is familiar with its terms and provisions and hereby accepts this grant of Stock Units subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may, from time to time, be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern and this Agreement shall be interpreted to minimize or eliminate any such conflict or inconsistency.

3.Restrictions on Transfer.  To the extent not yet vested, the Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Stock Units be made subject to execution, attachment, or similar process.  If the Award Recipient attempts to do any of these things, he will immediately and automatically forfeit the Stock Units.

4.Termination of Service.

 

Exhibit 10.13

(a)Certain Terminations of Service.  If, prior to vesting, the Award Recipient’s Service is terminated for any reason other than (i) death, (ii) Disability, (iii) termination by the Company without Cause or (iv) termination by the Award Recipient for Good Reason, the unvested portion of the Stock Units shall be forfeited by the Award Recipient and cancelled by the Company as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service, and the Award Recipient shall have no further right or interest therein unless the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine otherwise.

(b)Termination of Service for Death or Disability. If, prior to vesting, the Award Recipient’s Service terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Stock Units shall automatically vest in full as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service.

5.Termination of Service by Company without Cause or by Award Recipient for Good Reason. If, prior to vesting, the Award Recipient’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Award Recipient for Good Reason, the Stock Units shall automatically vest in full as of the date of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service. 

6.Effect of Section 6 of Change in Control and Severance Agreement.  The Company and the Award Recipient agree that this Agreement and the Stock Awards granted hereunder are not subject to Section 6 of the Change in Control and Severance Agreement, and the Stock Awards granted hereunder do not constitute Time-Based Restricted Stock as defined in such Change in Control and Severance Agreement.

7.Withholding.

The Company shall have the right to require the Award Recipient to remit to the Company any and all amounts sufficient to satisfy any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the issuance of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Units.  At the time of the Settlement Date (or, in the event that tax withholding is required as of an earlier date, then such earlier date), the Award Recipient shall pay in cash to the Company any amount that the Company may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding or other tax obligation. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to permit or require the Award Recipient to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit withholding or other taxes, (a) by directing the Company to withhold shares of Stock that would otherwise become vested, or (b) by entering into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby Award Recipient irrevocably elects to sell a portion of the shares of Stock to be delivered in connection with the Stock Units to satisfy withholding obligations and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the withholding obligations directly to the Company or any Affiliate in each case pursuant to such rules as the Committee may establish from time to time.  The Company, in its sole discretion, may also permit, the Award Recipient to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit withholding or other taxes, by delivering to the Company shares of Stock already owned by the Award Recipient and not then subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or similar requirements.  The Company shall also have the right to deduct from all cash payments made pursuant to, or in connection with, the Stock Units, the federal, state, or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments.  The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be withheld to satisfy any federal, state, or local tax requirements may not exceed such number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required by the Company to be withheld and paid to any such federal, state, or local taxing authority with respect to such vesting or payment; provided, however, for so long as Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 or a similar rule remains in effect, the Committee has full discretion to choose, or to allow the Award Recipient to elect, to withhold a number of shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding obligation (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum required statutory withholding obligation in such Award Recipient’s relevant tax jurisdiction).  

 

8.No Employment or Other Rights.  This Award does not confer upon the Award Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of, or otherwise provide Services to, the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof to terminate such Award Recipient’s employment or other service relationship at any time.  For 

 

Exhibit 10.13

purposes of this Agreement only, the term “employment” shall include circumstances under which Award Recipient provides consulting or other Services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as an independent contractor, but such Award Recipient is not, nor shall be considered, an employee; provided, however, nothing in this Section 7 or this Agreement shall create an employment relationship between such person and the Company or its applicable Subsidiary, as the usages described in this Section are for convenience only.

9.Adjustment of and Changes in Shares of Stock. In the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, or other event or change in corporate structure affecting the shares of Stock, the Committee shall make such adjustments, if any, as it deems appropriate in the number and class of shares subject to the Stock Units. The foregoing adjustments shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

10.Discretionary Nature of Plan.  The Plan is discretionary in nature, and the Company may suspend, modify, amend or terminate the Plan in its sole discretion at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law.  This Stock Unit grant under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Stock Units or other benefits in lieu of Stock Units in the future.  Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of Stock Units granted, and the vesting provisions.

11.Section 409A.   The grant of Stock Units under this Agreement is intended to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Board, nor the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on Award Recipient under Code Section 409A, and neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Board, nor the Committee will have any liability to Award Recipient for such tax or penalty.  For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of Service occurs only upon an event that would be a Separation from Service within the meaning of Section 409A.  If, at the time of Award Recipient’s Separation from Service, (1) Award Recipient is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and (2) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable on account of Award Recipient’s Separation from Service constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six (6)-month delay rule set forth in Code Section 409A to avoid taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A (the “Delay Period”), then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it in a lump sum on the first business day after the Delay Period (or upon Award Recipient’s death, if earlier), without interest.  Each installment of Stock Units that vest under this Agreement (if there is more than one installment) will be considered one of a series of separate payments for purposes of Code Section 409A.   

12.Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a)Applicable Law.  The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this instrument will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.

(b)Notice.  Any notice required by the terms of this Agreement shall be delivered or made electronically, over the Internet or otherwise (with request for assurance of recipient in a manner typical with respect to communications of that type), or given in writing.  Any notice given in writing shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, and shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Award Recipient at the address that he or she has most recently provided to the Company.  Any notice given electronically shall be deemed effective on the date of transmission.

(c)Headings. The headings of sections and subsections are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

Exhibit 10.13

(e)Amendments. The Board and the Committee shall have the power to alter or amend the terms of the grant of Stock Units as set forth herein from time to time, in any manner consistent with the provisions of the Plan, and any alteration or amendment of the terms of this grant of Stock Units by the Board or the Committee shall, upon adoption, become and be binding on all persons affected thereby without requirement for consent or other action with respect thereto by any such person. The Committee shall give notice to the Award Recipient of any such alteration or amendment as promptly as practicable after the adoption thereof. The foregoing shall not restrict the ability of the Award Recipient and the Board or the Committee by mutual written consent to alter or amend the terms of this grant of Stock Units in any manner which is consistent with the Plan.

(f)Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators and successors of the Award Recipient and the Company.

(g)Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the Award Recipient and the Company regarding the grant of Stock Units and supersede all prior arrangements or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) with respect thereto.    

13.Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following capitalized words shall have the meanings set forth below.

“Cause” shall mean the definition of “Cause” contained in the Change in Control and Severance Agreement.

“Change in Control and Severance Agreement” shall mean the written change in control and severance agreement between the Award Recipient and the Company, as in effect as of the Grant Date.

“Good Reason” shall mean the definition of “Good Reason” contained in the Change in Control and Severance Agreement

“Separation from Service” shall have the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A.

Sign-On Equity Award:  As an inducement to and incentive for accepting this position, you will be eligible to receive a grant, effective as of your start date, under Orthofix’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan of (i) stock options to purchase shares of Orthofix common stock, valued at $450,000 (based on the Black-Scholes value of Orthofix common stock on the grant date, subject to rounding to the nearest whole share) and (ii) restricted stock units with respect to shares of Orthofix common stock, valued at $450,000 (based on the closing price of Orthofix common stock on the grant date, subject to rounding to the nearest whole share), in each case vesting in 25% increments on each of the first four anniversaries of your start date, subject to your continued service with Orthofix on each such vesting date.  The sign-on equity awards are contingent upon and issued only upon approval by Orthofix’s Board of Directors and will be subject to the terms and conditions of applicable award agreements, which will be made available to you shortly after approval of your awards by Orthofix’s Board of Directors.

Additionally, Orthofix will also provide reimbursement (upon submission of applicable supporting documentation) for a house-hunting trip with your spouse, for closing costs on the purchase of a home, for the move of household goods and two automobiles, and a temporary housing monthly stipend of $3,000 (net) for temporary housing in the Lewisville, Texas area for up to six months. Relocation expenses will be grossed up for the value using the Company’s standard gross-up formula for the expected tax liability of these expenses.  

  

Third-Party Confidentiality/Non-Compete Obligations:  Orthofix recognizes that, while you were employed with your prior employers, you may have been exposed to confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information (“Third-Party Confidential Information”).  Moreover, Orthofix recognizes that you have a legal duty and may have a contractual duty not to use or disclose Third-Party Confidential Information outside of your employment with your former employers.   Orthofix also recognizes that you may owe your former employers a contractual duty not to solicit certain customers (“Restricted Customers”).  Orthofix has no intention of obtaining any Third-Party Confidential Information in any form.  In fact, Orthofix’s expectation is that you will abide by, and comply fully with, the terms of any agreements you may have with respect to such information.  By signing below, you represent and warrant that you have complied, and will comply, with any such obligations, including, but not limited to, all confidentiality, non-

Exhibit 10.37

 

solicitation, non-competition, and post-employment disclosure obligations.  You further represent and warrant that you have not misappropriated any Third-Party Confidential Information and, to the extent you may have access to such information, you will not disclose or use it for any purpose contrary to the terms of any agreements you may have with respect to such information, or to benefit Orthofix in any way.

 

Orthofix also wishes to ensure that you are not placed in a position which might require you to solicit Restricted Customers or cause the disclosure or use of Third-Party Confidential Information, either intentionally or inadvertently.  For this reason, this offer is contingent upon the legal department’s review of any agreements you may have with a current or former employer or business partner, and Orthofix reserves the right to rescind the offer if it determines, in its sole discretion, that you have continuing obligations to a current or former employer or business partner that could restrict or interfere with the responsibilities Orthofix anticipates you performing on its behalf.  If you are ever involved in any job situation which could require you to solicit Restricted Customers or cause you to use or disclose any Third-Party Confidential Information, you agree to immediately notify Orthofix’s Chief Legal Officer and advise Orthofix’s Chief Legal Officer of your concerns.  In the event it is determined that a risk of improper solicitation, disclosure, or use does exist, Orthofix will take appropriate measures.

 

Orthofix is also serious about protecting its own confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information.  Accordingly, this offer of employment is contingent upon your execution of a confidentiality, non-competition, and inventions agreement (a “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”). 

 

Testing and Screening:  This offer is contingent on the successful completion of a drug test and background screening.  The drug screen must be completed within 96 hours of accepting this offer.  If the drug screen is not completed by the designated date, we reserve the right to rescind the offer.    

 

Work Eligibility:  Federal law requires all employees to provide their employers with verification of identity and eligibility to work in the United States within the first three (3) days of employment.  All employees are required to show one or more forms of identification as a means of verification.  This offer of employment is contingent upon your return of the necessary documentation to Orthofix within three days of your first day of employment with a copy of the acceptable identification you choose to present.

 

Employment-At-Will:  You understand and acknowledge that, if you become employed by Orthofix, you will be an “at-will” employee at all times during your employment.  As an at-will employee, both Orthofix and you will have the right to terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.  At-will employment also means that your job duties, title, compensation, and benefits, as well as the company personnel policies and other procedures, may be changed or terminated at the sole discretion of Orthofix at any time.  Please note that, while this offer letter summarizes your anticipated terms and conditions of employment with Orthofix, they may change, and it is not an employment contract.
