RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT FOR 2013

 

Effective as of the date specified in the attached Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock (the “Grant Date”), Worthington Industries, Inc. hereby grants to the individual identified in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock (the “Participant”) an award consisting of the number of restricted common shares of the Company (“Restricted Stock”) set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock.  The Restricted Stock is subject to the terms and conditions described in the Worthington Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement for 2013 (this “Agreement”). The “Company” shall mean Worthington Industries, Inc. individually, or together with its sub­sidiaries, as the context requires.

 

Section 1.                      Vesting

 

Except as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement, the Restricted Stock will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, provided that the Participant has continuously remained an employee of the Company through such date.

 

Section 2.                      Termination of Employment or Change in Control

 

(a)           Death or Disability.  Any unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall become fully vested if the Participant dies or becomes permanently disabled, as determined by the Committee.

 

(b)           Retirement.  Any unvested shares of Restricted Stock generally are immediately forfeited if the Participant terminates employment due to retirement, but the Committee, in its sole discretion, may cause all or a portion of the shares of the Restricted Stock to vest as of the date of the Participant’s retirement, as determined by the Committee.

 

(c)           Change in Control.  If there is a Change in Control and within two years thereafter, the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by the Participant “due to an adverse change in the terms of the Participant’s employment” (as those terms are defined in rules adopted by the Committee), any unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall become fully vested on the date the Participant’s employment is terminated.  The provisions of this Section 2(c) shall apply in lieu of the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan.

 

Section 3.                      Transferability

 

Until the shares of Restricted Stock become vested as described in Section 1 or Section 2, the shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, gifted, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated.

 

 

  

  

  

 

Section 4.                      Rights Before Vesting.

Section 5.                      Settlement

 

If the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement are satisfied, the appropriate number of shares of Restricted Stock will be released from any transfer restrictions or delivered to the Participant with reasonable promptness after all applicable restrictions have lapsed.  Any fractional shares of Restricted Stock shall be settled in cash based upon the Fair Market Value of a common share of the Company on the settlement date.

 

The issuance of common shares of the Company shall be subject to the satisfaction of the Company’s counsel that such issuance shall be in compliance with applicable Federal and state securities laws.  Any common shares of the Company delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the common shares of the Company are then listed and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any certificates which may be issued to evidence such common shares to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

Section 6.                      Withholding

 

The Company is authorized to withhold in respect of the shares of Restricted Stock, the amount of withholding taxes due in respect of vesting of such shares of Restricted Stock and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.  The Committee may establish procedures for election by the Participant to satisfy such withholding taxes by delivery of, or directing the Company to retain, common shares that would otherwise be deliverable upon vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock.

 

Section 7.                      Forfeiture

 

In the event that the Participant terminates employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, and within 18 months after the date thereof becomes associated with, employed by, renders services to, or owns any interest in (other than any nonsubstantial interest, as determined by the Committee), any business that is in competition with the Company or with any business in which the Company has a substantial interest as determined by the Committee, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant to return to the Company the economic value of the shares of Restricted Stock which is realized or obtained (measured as of the date on which the shares of Restricted Stock vested) by the Participant at any time during the period beginning on that date which is six months prior to the date of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company plus any dividends or other distributions paid with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock.

The Participant must seek the advice of the Participant’s own tax advisors as to the advisability of making such an election, the potential consequences of making such an election, the requirements for making such an election, and the other tax consequences associated with the shares of Restricted Stock under federal, state, and any other laws, rules and regulations that may be applicable. The Company and its agents have not and are not providing any tax advice to the Participant.

 

Section 9.                      Application of Section 280G of the Code.

 

If the Company determines that any payment or benefit, including any accelerated vesting, due to the Participant under this Agreement in connection with a Change in Control, when combined with any other payment or benefit due to the Participant from the Company or any other entity in connection with such Change in Control, would be considered a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, the payments and benefits due to the Participant under this Agreement may be reduced by the Company to $1.00 less than the amount that would otherwise be considered a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, in accordance with rules and procedures which may be established by the Committee.
