EXHIBIT 10.1
NIKE, INC.
FY '__-'__ LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD AGREEMENT
This FY '__-'__ Long-Term Incentive Award Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of _____________, 20__, between NIKE, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the "Company"), and _______________ ("Recipient").
On _________, 20__, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors authorized a performance-based award to Recipient pursuant to Section 6 of the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Compensation paid pursuant to the award is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Recipient desires to accept the award subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
2.1 Subject to Section 3, the Dollar Target Award Payment to be paid to Recipient shall be determined by multiplying the Payout Factor by the Dollar Target Award. The "Payout Factor" equals the average of the Revenue-Related Percentage Level for the Performance Period and the EPS-Related Percentage Level for the Performance Period. The Revenue-Related Percentage Level for the Performance Period shall be determined under the table below based on the Company's Cumulative Revenue (as defined below) for the Performance Period. The EPS-Related Percentage Level for the Performance Period shall be determined under the table below based on the Company's Cumulative EPS (as defined below) for the Performance Period. For example, if the Company's Cumulative Revenue for the Performance Period is $_______ and the Company's Cumulative EPS for the Performance Period is $_______, then the Revenue-Related Percentage Level will be 110%, the EPS-Related Percentage Level will be 140%, and the Payout Factor will therefore equal 125%.
Revenue-Related EPS-Related Cumulative Revenue Percentage Level Cumulative EPS Percentage Level __________________ ________________ ______________ ________________ (in millions) Less than $____ 0% Less than $____ 0% $____ 10% $____ 10% $____ 20% $____ 20% Revenue-Related EPS-Related Cumulative Revenue Percentage Level Cumulative EPS Percentage Level __________________ ________________ ______________ ________________ (in millions) $____ 30% $____ 30% $____ 40% $____ 40% $____ 50% $____ 50% $____ 60% $____ 60% $____ 70% $____ 70% $____ 80% $____ 80% $____ 90% $____ 90% $____ 100% $____ 100% $____ 110% $____ 110% $____ 120% $____ 120% $____ 130% $____ 130% $____ 140% $____ 140% $____ or more 150% $____ or more 150% |
If the Company's Cumulative Revenue is between any two data points
set forth in the first column of the above table, the Revenue-Related
Percentage Level shall be determined by interpolation between the
corresponding data points in the second column of the table as follows:
the difference between the Cumulative Revenue and the lower data point
shall be divided by the difference between the higher data point and
the lower data point, the resulting fraction shall be multiplied by the
difference between the two corresponding data points in the second
column of the table, and the resulting product shall be added to the
lower corresponding data point in the second column of the table, with
the resulting sum being the Revenue-Related Percentage Level. If the
Company's Cumulative EPS is between any two data points set forth in
the third column of the above table, the EPS-Related Percentage Level
shall be similarly determined by interpolation between the
corresponding data points in the fourth column of the table. For
example, if the Company's Cumulative Revenue is $_______ and the
Company's Cumulative EPS is $_______, then the Revenue-Related
Percentage Level will be 115%, the EPS-Related Percentage Level will be
135%, and the Payout Factor will therefore equal 125%.
2.2 Subject to adjustment in accordance with Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 below, the Company's "Cumulative Revenue" for the Performance Period shall equal the sum of the Company's revenues for the _____ fiscal years of the Company in the Performance Period. For this purpose, the Company's revenues for each fiscal year of the Company during the Performance Period shall be as set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.
2.3 Subject to adjustment in accordance with Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 below, the Company's "Cumulative EPS" for the Performance Period shall equal the sum of the Company's diluted earnings per common share for the _____ fiscal years of the Company in the Performance Period. The Company's diluted earnings per common share for each fiscal year of the Company during the Performance Period shall be as set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.
2.4 In the event that any acquisition of a business shall
occur during the Performance Period, the Company's Cumulative Revenue
for the Performance Period shall be appropriately adjusted to exclude
the revenues of the acquired business, and the Company's Cumulative EPS
for the Performance Period shall be appropriately adjusted to
approximate the Cumulative EPS as if the acquisition had not occurred,
by (a) excluding any costs of the acquisition recorded by the Company,
(b) excluding the operating income of the acquired business, (c)
reducing interest expense for any cash paid or debt incurred to fund
the acquisition based on the actual interest rate of such debt or the
Company's average interest rate for borrowed funds, (d) adjusting the
tax provision to reflect the adjusted amount of pre-tax income after
making the above adjustments, and (e) reducing weighted average shares
outstanding used for the EPS calculation by the number of Company
shares, if any, issued in the acquisition.
2.5 In the event that any divestiture of a business shall occur during the Performance Period, the Company's Cumulative Revenue for the Performance Period shall be appropriately adjusted as provided in Section 2.5(i) below to reflect an assumed level of revenue of the divested business for that portion of the Performance Period occurring after the divestiture, and the Company's Cumulative EPS for the Performance Period shall be appropriately adjusted (a) to exclude any gain or loss on the sale, (b) as provided in Section 2.5(ii) below to reflect an assumed level of operating income of the divested business for that portion of the Performance Period occurring after the divestiture, (c) to reduce interest income for any cash or notes received in the divestiture based on the actual interest rate on such notes or the Company's average interest rate for borrowed funds, and (d) to adjust the tax provision to reflect the adjusted amount of pre-tax income after making the above adjustments.
(i) The Company's Cumulative Revenue for the Performance Period shall be appropriately adjusted to include the Imputed Revenues of the divested business. "Imputed Revenues" shall mean the result obtained by multiplying the Average Daily Revenues of the divested business by the number of calendar days in the Performance Period occurring after the divestiture. "Average Daily Revenues" shall mean the result obtained by dividing (x) the revenues of the divested business during that portion of the Performance Period occurring prior to the divestiture by (y) the number of calendar days in the Performance Period occurring prior to the divestiture.
(ii) The Company's Cumulative EPS for the Performance Period shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the Imputed Operating Income of the divested business. "Imputed Operating Income" shall mean the result obtained by multiplying the Average Daily Operating Income of the divested business by the number of calendar days in the Performance Period occurring after the divestiture. "Average Daily Operating Income" shall mean the result obtained by dividing (x) the operating income of the divested business during that portion of the Performance Period occurring prior to the divestiture by (y) the number of calendar days in the Performance Period occurring prior to the divestiture.
2.6 If the Company implements a change in accounting principle during the Performance Period either as a result of issuance of new accounting standards or otherwise, and the effect of the accounting change was not reflected in the Company's business plan at the time of approval of this award, then Cumulative Revenue and Cumulative EPS shall be adjusted to eliminate the impact of the change in accounting principle.
2.7 All financial computations required to effect adjustments pursuant to Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 shall be calculated by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied in a manner consistent with the application of such principles to the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Committee shall certify in writing (which may consist of
approved minutes of a Committee meeting) the level of Cumulative
Revenue and Cumulative EPS attained by the Company and the Dollar
Target Award Payment (if any) payable to Recipient. A portion of the
Dollar Target Award Payment so certified, which portion shall be equal
to the required tax withholding amount on the Dollar Target Award
Payment, shall be payable in cash and shall be used to satisfy such
required tax withholding, as provided in Section 5 below. The
Recipient may elect to receive the balance of the Dollar Target Award
Payment (the "Dollar Target Award Payment Balance") in either (a) cash,
(b) shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company ("Performance Shares")
valued at the closing price of the Class B Common Stock as reported by
the New York Stock Exchange on August 15, 20__, or (c) a specified
percentage in cash and a specified percentage in Performance Shares.
The Recipient's election regarding the form of payment (the "Election")
must be in writing or such other form as may be specified by the
Company and must be delivered by Recipient to the Company no later than
July 31, 20__. If Recipient does not timely deliver the Election, the
Dollar Target Award Payment Balance shall be paid in the form of
Performance Shares. The portion, if any, of the Dollar Target Award
Payment Balance payable to Recipient in cash shall be paid on August 15,
20__. The portion, if any, of the Dollar Target Award Payment Balance
payable to Recipient in Performance Shares shall be delivered to
Recipient as soon as practicable after August 15, 20__. No fractional
shares shall be delivered to Recipient in connection with the Dollar
Target Award Payment and the number of Performance Shares deliverable
shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Recipient shall have made a valid election to defer
receipt of all or any portion of the Dollar Target Award Payment
pursuant to the terms of the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan (a
"Deferral Election"), payment of all or such portion of the Dollar
Target Award Payment so deferred shall be made in accordance with the
terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan and the Deferral Election.

EXHIBIT A TO
1990 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
1. Termination of Employment or Service.
1.1 General Rule. Except as provided in this Section 1, the Option may not be exercised unless at the time of exercise the Optionee is employed by or in the service of the Company and shall have been so employed or provided such service continuously since the Grant Date. For purposes of this Exhibit A, the Optionee is considered to be employed by or in the service of the Company if the Optionee is employed by or in the service of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company (an "Employer").
1.2 Termination Generally. If the Optionee's employment or service with the Company terminates for any reason other than because of the Optionee's total disability or death as provided in Sections 1.3 or 1.4, the Option may be exercised at any time before the Expiration Date or the expiration of three months after the date of termination, whichever is the shorter period, but only if and to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination.
1.3 Termination Because of Total Disability. If the Optionee's employment or service with the Company terminates because of total disability, the Option shall immediately become exercisable in full and may be exercised at any time before the Expiration Date or before the date that is one year after the date of termination, whichever is the shorter period. The term "total disability" means a medically determinable mental or physical impairment that is expected to result in death or has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of 12 months or more and that, in the opinion of the Company and two independent physicians, causes the Optionee to be unable to perform duties as an employee, director, officer or consultant of the Employer and unable to be engaged in any substantial gainful activity. Total disability shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day after the two independent physicians have furnished their written opinion of total disability to the Company and the Company has reached an opinion of total disability.
1.4 Termination Because of Death. If the Optionee dies while employed by or in the service of the Company, the Option shall immediately become exercisable in full and may be exercised at any time before the Expiration Date or before the date that is one year after the date of death, whichever is the shorter period, but only by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the Option shall pass by the Optionee's will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of domicile at the time of death.
1.5 Absence on Leave. Absence on leave or on account of illness or disability under rules established by the committee of the Board of Directors of the Company appointed to administer the Plan (the "Committee") shall not be deemed an interruption of employment or service.
1.6 Failure to Exercise Option. To the extent that following termination of employment or service, the Option is not exercised within the applicable periods described above, all further rights to purchase shares pursuant to the Option shall cease and terminate.
2. Method of Exercise of Option. The Option may be exercised only by notice in writing from the Optionee to the Company of the Optionee's binding commitment to purchase shares, specifying the number of shares the Optionee desires to purchase under the Option and the date on which the Optionee agrees to complete the transaction and, if required to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, containing a representation that it is the Optionee's intention to acquire the shares for investment and not with a view to distribution. On or before the date specified for completion of the purchase, the Optionee must pay the Company the full purchase price of those shares in cash or by check. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, no shares shall be issued until full payment for the shares has been made, including all amounts owed for tax withholding. The Optionee shall, immediately upon notification of the amount due, if any, pay to the Company in cash or by check amounts necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. If additional withholding is or becomes required (as a result of exercise of the Option or as a result of disposition of shares acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option) beyond any amount deposited before delivery of the certificates, the Optionee shall pay such amount to the Company, in cash or by check, on demand. If the Optionee fails to pay the amount demanded, the Company or the Employer may withhold that amount from other amounts payable to the Optionee, including salary, subject to applicable law.
3. Nontransferability. The Option is nonassignable and nontransferable by the Optionee, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except as provided below and except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of the Optionee's domicile at the time of death, and during the Optionee's lifetime, the Option is exercisable only by the Optionee. The Option shall also be transferable pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Following any permitted transfer, the Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer, provided that, except for purposes of Section 1, the term "Optionee" shall be deemed to refer to the transferee. All references in Section 1 to employment or service, termination of employment or service and total disability and death shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Optionee. Following any termination of employment or service or total disability or death of the original Optionee as described in Section 1, the Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent and for the periods specified.
4. Changes in Capital Structure. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another corporation by reason of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, plan of exchange, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares or dividend payable in shares, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the number and kind of shares subject to the Option, or the unexercised portion thereof, so that the Optionee's proportionate interest before and after the occurrence of the event is maintained; provided, however, that this Section 4 shall not apply with respect to Approved Transactions (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have no obligation to effect any adjustment that would or might result in the issuance of fractional shares, and any fractional shares resulting from any adjustment may be disregarded or provided for in any manner determined by the Committee. Any such adjustments made by the Committee shall be conclusive. In the event of any merger, consolidation or plan of exchange affecting the Company to which Section 5 does not apply, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide a 30-day period prior to such event during which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option, in whole or in part, without any limitation on exercisability, and upon the expiration of such 30-day period, the Option shall immediately terminate.
5. Special Acceleration in Certain Events. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Option shall, at any time when the shareholders of the Company approve an Approved Transaction, immediately become exercisable in full during the remainder of the term of the Option; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide a 30-day period prior to the Approved Transaction during which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option, in whole or in part, without any limitation on exercisability, and upon the expiration of such 30-day period, the Option shall immediately terminate. For purposes of this Section 5, the term "Approved Transaction" means (a) any consolidation, merger, plan of exchange or transaction involving the Company (a "Merger") in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which the Common Stock of the Company would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a Merger involving the Company in which the holders of the Common Stock of the Company immediately prior to the Merger have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation after the Merger or (b) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
6. Conditions on Obligations. The Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Class B Common Stock upon exercise of the Option if the Company is advised by its legal counsel that such issuance would violate applicable state or federal laws, including securities laws. The Company will use its best efforts to take steps required by state or federal law or applicable regulations in connection with issuance of shares upon exercise of the Option.
7. No Right to Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall (a) confer upon the Optionee any right to be continued in the employment of an Employer or interfere in any way with the Employer's right to terminate the Optionee's employment at will at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, or to decrease the Optionee's compensation or benefits, or (b) confer upon the Optionee any right to be retained or employed by the Employer or to the continuation, extension, renewal or modification of any compensation, contract or arrangement with or by the Employer. The determination of whether to grant any option under the Plan is made by the Company in its sole discretion. The grant of the Option shall not confer upon the Optionee any right to receive any additional option or other award under the Plan or otherwise.
8. Successors of Company. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company but, except as provided herein, the Option may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by the Optionee.
9. Rights as a Shareholder. The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Class B Common Stock until the date the Optionee becomes the holder of record of those shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs before the date the Optionee becomes the holder of record.
10. Amendments. The Company may at any time amend this Agreement to extend the expiration periods provided in Section 1 or to increase the portion of the Option that is exercisable. Otherwise, this Agreement may not be amended without the written consent of the Optionee and the Company.
11. Committee Determinations. The Optionee agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations of the Committee or other administrator of the Plan as to the provisions of the Plan or this Agreement or any questions arising thereunder.
12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Oregon.
13. Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Optionee and the Company, both oral and written concerning the matters addressed herein, and all prior agreements or representations concerning the matters addressed herein, whether written or oral, express or implied, are terminated and of no further effect.
