ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Team, Inc. (the “Company”) held on September 25, 2008, shareholders approved the material terms of Performance Goals that may apply to awards under the Team, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Awards under the Plan may be granted to the Company’s employees, directors, consultants and advisors. Under the Plan, any Award may, but need not, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more Performance Goals. Performance-based compensation will be awarded if the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) determines that such awards are in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Performance Goals for Awards will be determined by the Committee and will be designed to support the Company’s business strategy and align participants’ interests with shareholder interests.

Awards (other than stock options and stock appreciation rights) intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code will be subject to Performance Goals based on one or more of the following business criteria as applied, in the Committee’s discretion, to the Company as a whole or a division or business unit of the Company: earnings per share, return on equity, return on invested capital, relative total shareholder return, revenue growth, stock performance, net income, return on sales, return on assets, economic value added, cash flow, operating profits and net operating income. This description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Team, Inc. (the “Company”) approved equity Awards granted on October 15, 2008 to the senior officers of the Company pursuant to the Plan, including the following equity Awards issued to Named Executive Officers (based on the Company’s 2008 proxy statement) and the Company’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer:

Under the terms of Performance-Based Stock Unit Agreement, Mr. Hawk will be awarded Performance-Based Stock Units designated as the number of Stock Units that may be paid out in shares of the Company’s Common Stock if the Company achieves the annual Performance Goal(s) over the Performance Cycle(s) established by the Committee. Upon achievement of the annual Performance Goal(s) and the passage of the time vesting requirement, the restrictions on such award to Mr. Hawk will expire in equal annual installments on the first, second, third, fourth, and, if necessary, fifth anniversaries of the Date of Grant, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Plan. In the event an annual Performance Goal(s) is not achieved within the stated Performance Cycle(s), the Performance Goal(s) may be achieved in subsequent Performance Cycles upon achievement of the cumulative Performance Goal


established by the Committee. Until the Company’s Common Stock is issued in settlement of the Stock Units, the grantee will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or have rights as, a Company shareholder. In the event of a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Performance-Based Stock Unit Agreement and the Plan) of the Company or in the event of Mr. Hawk’s death, any outstanding performance-based Stock Units will be accelerated and paid out in the Company’s Common Stock.

The Stock Units awarded to Messrs. Owen, Kearns, Palmore and Victorson permit each of them to receive, on predetermined dates upon expiration of applicable restrictions, shares in an amount equal to a specified number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The restrictions on the Awards will expire in equal annual installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Plan. Until the Company’s Common Stock is issued in settlement of the Stock Units, the grantee will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or have rights as, a Company shareholder. In the event of a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Stock Unit Agreement and the Plan) of the Company or in the event of a participant’s death, any outstanding Stock Units will be accelerated and paid out in the Company’s Common Stock.

Grants of Stock Units and Performance-Based Stock Units were awarded pursuant to the form of award agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3 to this Form 8-K.

3. Administration of Plan . The Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more members. The Committee shall report all action taken by it to the Board. Except when the Board determines otherwise, the Committee shall consist of the members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. All members of the Committee shall qualify as both “non-employee directors,” as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3) promulgated under the Act and “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee shall have full and final authority in its discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to determine the Participants to whom and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each Award; to construe and interpret the Plan; to determine and interpret the terms and provisions of the respective Award agreements, which need not be identical as between Participants, including, but without limitation, terms covering the payment of the Option price; and to make all other determinations and take all other actions deemed necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan. All such actions and determinations shall be conclusively binding for all purposes and upon all persons.


4. Common Stock Subject to the Plan . The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall not exceed 5,400,000, subject to adjustment under the provisions of Part VII. The shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares, shares issued and reacquired by the Company or shares bought on the market for the purposes of the Plan. In the event any Award shall, for any reason, terminate or expire or be surrendered without having been exercised in full, the shares subject to such Award but not issued shall again be available for award under the Plan. The maximum number of shares for which Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be awarded during any fiscal year of the Company to any employee shall be 500,000 (the “Maximum Annual Award”).

 

5. Limitations on Certain “Full Value” Grants Awarded under the Plan . Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 4 above, with respect to 95% of the shares of Common Stock awarded under the Plan, or 5,130,000 shares (subject to adjustment under the provisions of Part VII), the minimum period over which tenure-based awards of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may vest shall be three (3) years (except in the case of the Participant’s death, disability, retirement or a Change of Control), and the minimum performance period over which Awards of Restricted Stock, Stock Units or Performance Awards shall vest shall be one (1) year (except in the case of the Participant’s death, disability, retirement or a Change of Control).

 

6. Award Agreements . Any Award granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an agreement (“Award Agreement”) which shall be approved in form and substance by the Committee. Such Award Agreements may, in the discretion of the Committee, contain (i) forfeiture provisions applicable if a Participant’s employment or service terminates for Cause; and/or (ii) non-compete covenants applicable to a Participant who accepts such Award. Each Award Agreement shall be executed by an officer of the Company and the Participant.

II. STOCK OPTIONS

All Options and Option Agreements granted under the provisions of this Plan shall be subject to the following limitations and conditions:

 

1. Option Price . The Option price per share with respect to each Option shall be the Exercise Price.

 

2. Period of Option . The expiration date of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee at the Date of Grant, but in no event shall the expiration date be later than ten years from the Date of Grant.

 

3. Holding Period . No Common Stock issued pursuant to exercise of an Option granted pursuant to this Plan may, unless the Committee determines otherwise, be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of within six months following the Date of Grant of the Option.


4. Shareholder Rights . Neither an Optionee nor his Successor shall have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company by reason of holding an Option, and such shareholder rights will not exist until the certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock purchased under the Option are properly delivered to such Optionee or his Successor.

 

5. Exercise of Option . Each Option shall be exercisable from time to time over a period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending upon the expiration or termination of the Option; provided, however, the Committee may, by the provisions of any Option Agreement, postpone in whole or in part the vesting or exercisability of the Option and limit the number of shares purchasable thereunder in any period or periods of time during which the Option is exercisable. Payment of the Exercise Price for shares of Stock purchased under this Plan shall be made in full and in cash or by certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Company or a combination thereof. In addition, if permitted by the Committee or the terms of the Option Agreement, Participants may elect to pay the Exercise Price by tendering, either through actual delivery of shares of Common Stock or though attestation, shares of Common Stock (valued at Fair Market Value) owned by the Participant, or any combination thereof, equivalent to the Exercise Price. The Committee may permit a Participant to pay the Exercise Price by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Common Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise. Exercise of an Option shall not be effective until the Company has received written notice of exercise. Such notice must specify the number of whole shares to be purchased and be accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares purchased. The Company shall not in any case be required to sell, issue, or deliver a fractional share with respect to any Option.

 

6. Nontransferability of Option . Incentive Stock Options awarded under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Incentive Stock Options may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or his guardian or legal representative. If expressly permitted by the terms of the Option agreement, Non-Qualified Options may be transferred by a Participant to Permitted Transferees, provided that there is not any consideration for the transfer. No Option shall be pledged or hypothecated in any way and no Option shall be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process.

 

7.

Termination of Employment or Service . Except as provided herein, upon an Optionee’s Termination of Employment or Service his Option privileges shall be limited to the shares which were immediately purchasable by him at the date of such termination, and such Option privileges shall be exercisable by such Optionee for three months after the date of such termination, but not


 

any later than the expiration date of the Option, at which time such Option shall expire. The Committee may, by the terms of the Option Agreement, provide for a longer or shorter period during which the Option may be exercised following Termination of Employment or Service. The granting of an Option to an eligible person does not alter in any way the Company’s existing rights to terminate such person’s employment or service at any time for any reason, nor does it confer upon such person any rights or privileges except as specifically provided for in the Plan.

 

8. Death of Optionee . If an Optionee dies while in the employment or service of the Company, such Optionee’s Option shall remain exercisable by the Optionee’s Successor until the close of the business day on or immediately preceding the first annual anniversary date of the Optionee’s death, or the expiration date, if earlier, at which time such Option shall expire.

 

9. Additional Limitations for Incentive Stock Options . Options granted under the Plan may qualify as “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Incentive Stock Options shall be awarded only to employees. No Incentive Stock Options shall be granted to any employee if, immediately before the Date of Grant, such employee owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its Affiliates (as determined in accordance with the stock attribution rules contained in Section 424(d) of the Code). Provided, the preceding sentence shall not apply if at the time the Option is granted, the Option Price is increased to an amount equal to 110 percent of the Fair Market Value and such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Option is granted. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of the Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any employee during any calendar year (under all incentive stock option plans qualified under Section 422 of the Code sponsored by the Company or any Affiliate) shall not exceed $100,000.00. If any Options are awarded in excess of this limit, the excess options shall be Non-Qualified Stock Options.

III. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

1. Definition . A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award that may be granted and entitles the holder to receive an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock at the time of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right and the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date of grant, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Award Agreement and the following provisions of this Part III.

 

2. Eligibility . The Committee may, in its discretion, award Stock Appreciation Rights to any Participant.


3. Exercise . A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised under the applicable terms and conditions of the Award Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the holder to receive, upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, shares of Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value at the time of exercise), cash or a combination thereof, in the discretion of the Committee, in an amount equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right as of the date of such exercise over the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

 

4. Expiration Date . The “Expiration Date” with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee, and shall be not later than ten years from the date of grant. If the right is not exercised before the end of the day on which the right ceases to be exercisable, such right shall be deemed exercised as of such date and payment shall be made to the holder in accordance with the Award Agreement.

IV. RESTRICTED STOCK

 

1. Definition . Restricted Stock awards are grants of Stock to Participants, the vesting of which is subject to a required period of employment or service as a director or consultant, and any other conditions established by the Committee.

 

2. Eligibility . The Committee shall designate the Participants to whom Restricted Stock is to be awarded and the number of shares of Stock that are subject to the award.

 

3. Terms and Conditions of Awards . All shares of Restricted Stock awarded to Participants under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as shall be prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion and as shall be contained in the Award Agreement.

Restricted Stock awarded to Participants may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, except as provided in Part I, paragraph 5 and otherwise herein, for a period of 10 years or such shorter period as the Committee may determine after the time of the award of such stock (the “Restricted Period”). Except for such restrictions, the Participant as owner of such shares shall have all the rights of a stockholder, including but not limited to the right to vote such shares and, except as otherwise provided by the Committee, the right to receive all dividends paid on such shares.

The Committee may in its discretion, at any time after the date of the award of Restricted Stock, adjust the length of the Restricted Period to account for individual circumstances of a Participant or group of Participants, subject to the provisions of Part I, paragraph 5.

Except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, a Participant whose employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates terminates prior to the end of the Restricted Period for any reason shall forfeit all shares of Restricted Stock remaining subject to any outstanding Restricted Stock Award.


Each certificate issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan shall be registered in the name of the Participant and, at the discretion of the Committee, each such certificate may be deposited in a bank designated by the Committee. Each such certificate shall bear the following (or a similar) legend:

“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) contained in the Team, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and an agreement entered into between the registered owner and Team, Inc. A copy of such plan and agreement is on file in the office of the Secretary of Team, Inc., 200 Hermann Drive, Alvin, Texas 77511.

At the end of the Restricted Period for Restricted Stock, such Restricted Stock will be transferred free of all restrictions to a Participant (or his Successors).

 

4. Substitution of Cash . The Committee may, in its discretion, substitute cash equal to the Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of distribution) of Stock otherwise required to be distributed to a Participant.

V. STOCK UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS

 

1. Definition . A “Stock Unit” Award is the grant of a right to receive shares of Stock or cash in the future. A “Performance Share” Award is a grant of a right to receive shares of Stock or Stock Units which is contingent on the achievement of performance or other objectives during a specified period. The number of Performance Shares earned, and the value received for them, will be contingent on the degree to which the performance measures established at the time of the initial award are met. The minimum vesting or performance period for Awards of Stock Units and Performance Shares shall be subject to the provisions of Part I, paragraph 5.

 

2. Eligibility . The Committee shall designate the Participants to whom Stock Units or Performance Share Awards are to be awarded, and the number of units or shares to be the subject of such awards.

 

3.

Terms and Conditions of Awards . For each Participant, the Committee will determine the timing of awards; the number of Stock Units or Performance Units awarded; the value of Stock Units and Performance Units, which may be stated either in cash or in shares of Stock; the performance measures used for determining whether the Performance Shares are earned; the performance period during which the performance measures will apply (which shall be subject to the provisions of Part I, paragraph 5); the relationship between the level of achievement of the performance measures and the degree to which Performance Shares are earned; whether, during or after the performance period, any revision to the performance measures or performance period


 

should be made to reflect significant events or changes that occur during the performance period (subject to the provisions of Part I, paragraph 5); the number of earned Performance Shares that will be paid in cash and/or shares of Stock; and whether dividend equivalents will be paid on Stock Units, either currently or on a deferred basis. All Awards of Stock Units and Performance Shares shall be made in accordance with the limits set forth in Part I, paragraph 5 hereof.

 

4. Payment . The Committee will compare the actual performance to the performance measures established for the performance period and determine the number of units to be paid and their value. Payment for Stock Units or Performance Shares earned shall be wholly in cash, wholly in Stock or in a combination of the two, in a lump sum or installments, and subject to vesting requirements and such other conditions as the Committee shall provide. The Committee will determine the number of earned Stock Units or Performance Shares to be paid in cash and the number to be paid in Stock. For Stock Units or Performance Shares payable in shares of Stock, one share of Stock will be paid for each share earned, or cash will be paid for each share earned equal to either (a) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the delivery date or the end of the performance period, as applicable, or (b) the Fair Market Value of the Stock averaged for a number of days determined by the Committee. For Stock Units or Performance Shares awarded in cash, the value of each share earned will be paid in its initial cash value, or shares of Stock will be distributed based on the cash value of the shares earned divided by (a) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the delivery date or end of the performance period, as applicable, or (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock averaged for a number of days determined by the Committee.

 

5. Death or Termination of Employment or Service . A Participant whose employment or service with the Company and Affiliates terminates because of death either (i) during a performance period, or (ii) prior to the delivery date for Stock Units, shall be entitled to the prorated value of earned Performance Shares or Stock Units, at the conclusion of the performance period (or the deferred delivery date) based on the ratio of the months the Participant was employed (or during which he rendered services as a director or consultant) during the period to the total months of the performance period (or from the date of the award of the Stock Units until the deferred delivery date). If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and Affiliates terminates for any reason other than death (i) during a performance period, or (ii) prior to the delivery date for deferred Stock Units, the Performance Shares or Stock Units will be forfeited on the date his employment or service with the Company and Affiliates terminates. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, but subject to the limitations contained in Part I, paragraph 5 herein, the Committee may determine that the Participant will be entitled to receive all or any portion of the Performance Shares or Stock Units that he would otherwise receive, and may accelerate the determination and payment of the shares or units or make such other adjustments as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems desirable.


VI. PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

 

1. Performance-Based Awards . The Committee may grant to officers and other key employees of the Company the prospective contingent right to receive payments of stock, cash or any combination thereof as may be designated or established by the Committee (“Performance-Based Awards”). Performance-Based Awards shall be earned by Participants only if specified Performance Goals are satisfied in the applicable Performance Cycle. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the officers and other key employees eligible to receive Performance-Based Awards. At the time each grant of a Performance-Based Award is made, the Committee shall establish the applicable Performance Cycle, the Performance Measure and Performance Goals in respect of such Performance-Based Award. The number of shares of stock and/or the amount of cash earned and payable in settlement of a Performance-Based Award shall be determined by the Committee at the end of the Performance Cycle.

 

2. Award Agreement . The Award Agreement for each Performance-Based Award shall provide that, in order for a Participant to earn all or a portion of the stock or cash subject to such Performance-Based Award, the Company must achieve certain Performance Goals over a designated Performance Cycle having a minimum duration of one year. The Performance Goals and Performance Cycle shall be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall establish a Performance Measure for each Performance Cycle for determining the portion of the Performance-Based Award, which will be earned or forfeited, based on the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved or exceeded. Performance Goals may include minimum, maximum and target levels of performance, with the size of the Performance-Based Award based on the level attained. Once established by the Committee and specified in the Award Agreement, and if and to the extent provided in or required by the Award Agreement, the Performance Goals and the Performance Measure in respect of any Performance-Based Award shall not be changed. The Committee may, in its discretion, eliminate or reduce (but not increase) the amount of any Performance-Based Award that otherwise would be payable to a Participant upon attainment of the Performance Goal(s) unless the Participant has a vested right under applicable employment law to receive the full Performance-Based Award.

 

3. Determination of Terms of Awards . Performance-Based Awards may be made on such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, and in such form or forms, as the Committee may from time to time approve. Performance-Based Awards may be made alone, in addition to, in tandem with, or independent of other grants and awards under the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine the number of shares of Stock subject to each Performance Grant made to a Participant and the Committee may impose different terms and conditions on any particular Performance–Based Award made to any Participant. The Performance Goals, the Performance Cycle and the Performance Measure applicable to a Performance Grant shall be set forth in the relevant Award Agreement.


4. Payments of Awards . Each Participant shall be entitled to receive payment in Stock or cash of the Performance-Based Awards earned in respect of a Performance Cycle, subject to the Committee’s discretion to eliminate or reduce the amount that would otherwise be payable to a Participant. Payment in settlement of a Performance-Based Award may be made in Stock, in cash, or in any combination of Stock and cash, and at such time or times, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.

VII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

1. Adjustments . In the event that 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 a recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares, or dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the number and kind of shares authorized or outstanding under the Plan, and the Maximum Award Limit. The Committee shall also make adjustments in the event of any distribution of assets to shareholders other than a normal cash dividend. In addition, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustment in the number and kind of shares as to which outstanding Awards, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable, to the end that the proportionate interest of the holder of the Participant shall, to the extent practicable, be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Such adjustment in outstanding Options shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option but with a corresponding adjustment in the Option price per share. The Company shall not in any case be required to sell, issue, or deliver a fractional share with respect to any Award.

 

  (a) In the event that the Board shall adopt resolutions recommending the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right Awards granted under the Plan shall terminate as of a date to be fixed by the Committee, provided that not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice of the date so fixed shall be given to each Participant and each such Participant shall have the right during such period to exercise his Option or Right as to all or any part of the shares covered thereby, including shares as to which such Option or Right would not otherwise be exercisable by reason of an insufficient lapse of time.

 

  (b) Upon a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall become 100% vested as of the date of the Change in Control, provided that the Participant’s employment or service has not terminated prior to such date.

In the event of a Reorganization (as hereinafter defined) in which the Company is not the surviving or acquiring company, or in which the Company is or becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of another company after the effective date of the Reorganization, then


  (i) If there is no plan or agreement respecting the Reorganization (“Reorganization Agreement”) or if the Reorganization Agreement does not specifically provide for the change, conversion or exchange of the shares under outstanding and unexercised stock options for securities of another corporation, then any Option granted under the Plan shall terminate as of a date to be fixed by the Committee, provided that not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice of the date so fixed shall be given to each Optionee and each such Optionee shall have the right during such period to exercise his Option as to all or any part of the shares covered thereby, including shares as to which such Option would not otherwise be exercisable by reason of an insufficient lapse of time.

 

  (ii) If there is a Reorganization Agreement and if the Reorganization Agreement specifically provides for the change, conversion, or exchange of the shares under outstanding and unexercised stock options and rights for securities of another corporation, then the Committee shall adjust the shares under such outstanding and unexercised stock options and rights (and shall adjust the shares remaining under the Plan which are then available to be optioned under the Plan, if the Reorganization Agreement makes specific provision therefor) in a manner not inconsistent with the provisions of the Reorganization Agreement for the adjustment, change, conversion, or exchange of such stock and such Options and rights.

 

  (c) The term “Reorganization” as used herein shall mean any statutory merger, statutory consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale, pursuant to an agreement with the Company, of securities of the Company pursuant to which the Company is or becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of another company after the effective date of the Reorganization. The provisions hereof shall comply with Section 424(a) of the Code except to the extent the Committee determines otherwise.

 

  (d) Adjustments and determinations hereunder shall be made by the Committee, whose decisions shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

 

2.

Restrictions on Issuing Shares . The issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to the condition that if at any time the Company shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration, or qualification of any shares otherwise deliverable upon such exercise upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or that the consent or approval of any regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, such exercise or the delivery or purchase of shares pursuant thereto, then in any such event, such exercise shall not be effective unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to sell any Shares hereunder unless the Shares are at the time effectively


 

registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws. The Participant shall make such investment representations to the Company and shall consent to the imposition of such legends on the stock certificates as are necessary, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, to secure to the Company an appropriate exemption from applicable securities laws.

 

3. Withholding of Taxes . All Awards and payments under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, which withholding obligations may be satisfied, with the consent of the Committee, through the surrender of shares of Common Stock which the Participant already owns, or to which a Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid in cash in consequence of the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or in connection with an award of Restricted Stock or Stock Units and Performance Share Awards under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such cash payments. Where a Participant is entitled to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right or with respect to an award of Stock Units and Performance Share Awards pursuant to the Plan, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such shares, or, in lieu thereof, to retain, or sell without notice, a sufficient number of such shares to cover the amount required to be withheld. Upon the disposition (within the meaning of Code Section 424(c)) of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the expiration of the holding period requirements of Code Section 422(a)(1), the employee shall be required to give notice to the Company of such disposition and the Company shall have the right to require the employee to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes that are required by law to be withheld with respect to such disposition. Upon termination of the Restricted Period with respect to an award of Restricted Stock (or such earlier time, if any, as an election is made by the Participant under Code Section 83(b), or any successor provisions thereto, to include the value of such shares in taxable income), the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such shares of Common Stock or, in lieu thereof, to retain or sell without notice a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock held by it to cover the amount required to be withheld. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all dividends paid with respect to Restricted Stock the amount of taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such dividend payments.

 

4. Use of Proceeds . The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the Plan shall be added to the Company’s general funds and used for general corporate purposes.

 

5. Amendment, Suspension, and Termination of Plan .


  (a) The Board shall have complete discretionary authority and power to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the following provisions:

 

  (i) Any material amendment, including but not limited to an amendment increasing the number of shares of Common Stock provided in Part I, amending the limitations set forth in Part I, paragraph 5, or increasing the Maximum Award Limit may not be made without shareholder approval.

 

  (ii) The Board may not, without the Participant’s written consent, modify the terms and conditions of an Award in a manner that impairs any right or obligation previously granted.

 

  (iii) No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the Participant’s written consent, alter, terminate or impair any right or obligation under any Award previously granted under the Plan.

 

  (b) Unless previously terminated, the Plan shall terminate with respect to the issuance of any new Awards, and no more Awards may be granted after July 31, 2016. The Plan shall continue in effect with respect to Awards granted before termination of the Plan until such Awards have been settled, terminated, or forfeited.

In the event ownership or issuance of Shares is not feasible due to applicable foreign exchange controls, securities regulations, tax laws, or other provisions of applicable law, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, you shall receive cash proceeds in an amount equal to the value of the Shares otherwise distributable to you net of amounts withheld in satisfaction of the requirements of Paragraph 4 below.

2. Expiration — In the event of your Termination of Employment (as defined below and in the Plan) for any reason other than your death, any Stock Units that have not vested will expire at that time.

As used herein, the term “Employment” means your regular full-time or part-time employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and the term “Employer” means the Company (if you are employed by the Company) or the Affiliate of the Company that employs you.

3. Rights as a Stockholder — You will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares that may be received by you pursuant to this Agreement until those Shares are issued and registered in your name on the books of the Company’s transfer agent. You will have no rights to receive dividend equivalent payments with respect to Shares that may be received by you pursuant to this Agreement.


4. Agreement With Respect to Taxes — You are obligated to pay any taxes that are required to be withheld by the Company or your Employer related to this Award. As a condition of the receipt of this Award, prior to the vesting of the Stock Units you agree to make such arrangements as the Company may require in order to satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that the Company, in its sole discretion, determines may arise in connection with the receipt of an Award or the issuance of Shares (the “Tax Obligations”). You understand that the Company shall not be required to issue any Shares to you under the Plan unless and until such Tax Obligations are satisfied.

The Company intends, and you hereby authorize the Company, to satisfy the Tax Obligations by withholding from the vested Stock Units the number of full Shares having an aggregate market value at that time of vesting equal to the amount the Company determines are equal to the Tax Obligations, with the remainder to be satisfied by withholding from your wages or other cash compensation payable by the Company or your Employer. To the extent the Company determines that the number of Stock Units or Shares withheld pursuant to this Paragraph is insufficient to satisfy such Tax Obligations, you hereby authorize the Company or your Employer to deduct from your compensation the additional amounts necessary to fully satisfy the Tax Obligations. If the Company chooses not to deduct such amount from your compensation, you agree to pay the Company, in cash or by check, the additional amount necessary to fully satisfy the Tax Obligations.

For Employees employed at international (non-US) locations:

The Company or your Employer will assess its requirements regarding tax, social insurance and any other payroll tax (“Tax-Related Items”) withholding and reporting in connection with the Stock Units or Shares. These requirements may change from time to time as laws or interpretations change. Regardless of the actions of the Company or your Employer in this regard, Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for any and all Tax-Related Items is and remains his or her responsibility and liability and that the Company and your Employer make no representations nor undertakings regarding treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the grant of Stock Units and do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability regarding Tax-Related Items. In the event that the Company or your Employer must withhold any Tax-Related Items as a result of the grant or vesting of the Stock Units, Employee agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company or your Employer to satisfy all withholding requirements. Employee authorizes the Company or your Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally due from the Employee from his or her wages or other cash compensation paid him or her by the Company or your Employer.

5. Section 409A —Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement shall be construed or deemed to be amended as necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid taxation under Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code.

For purposes of this provision, “Returnable Share Value” means a cash amount equal to the gross value of the Shares that were issued to you in the one-year period prior to the Company’s determination that you engaged in Conduct Detrimental to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, determined as of the date such Shares were issued to you and using the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of Team Common Stock on that date. You understand and agree that the repayment of the Returnable Share Value is in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company due to your Conduct Detrimental to the Company.

• Are a partner or joint venture in any business or other enterprise or undertaking with a Direct Competitor; or

• Serve or perform work (including consulting or advisory services) for a Direct Competitor that is similar in a material way to the work you performed for the Company in the twelve months preceding the termination of your Employment.

You understand and agree that this provision does not prohibit you from competing with the Company but only requires repayment of Returnable Share Value in the event of such competition.

For purposes of this provision, you shall be deemed to “solicit the Company’s employees” if you, directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit, advise, attempt to influence or otherwise induce or persuade, directly or indirectly (including encouraging another person to influence, induce or persuade), any person employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates to leave the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates (except for those actions that are within the scope of your Employment that are taken on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates).

The term “Direct Competitor” means any entity, or other business concern that offers or plans to offer products or services that are materially competitive with any of the products or services being manufactured, offered or marketed, or that are actively developed, by the Company as of the date your Employment ends.
