1.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements of McKesson Corporation (“McKesson,” the “Company,” or “we” and other similar pronouns) include the financial statements of all wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority-owned or controlled companies. We also evaluate our ownership, contractual and other interests in entities to determine if they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), if we have a variable interest in those entities and the nature and extent of those interests. These evaluations are highly complex and involve judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions based on available historical information and management’s judgment, among other factors. Based on our evaluations, if we determine we are the primary beneficiary of such VIEs, we consolidate such entities into our financial statements. The consolidated VIEs are not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements.

To prepare the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of these financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

The results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 previously filed with the SEC on May 2, 2012 (“2012 Annual Report”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The Company’s fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year shall mean the Company’s fiscal year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of 2013, we adopted amended guidance on a retrospective basis related to the presentation of other comprehensive income. The amended guidance requires that comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We elected to report other comprehensive income and its components in a separate statement of comprehensive income. While the new guidance changed the presentation of comprehensive income, there were no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income as determined under previous accounting guidance. The amended guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2011, disclosure guidance related to the offsetting of assets and liabilities was issued. The guidance requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for recognized financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amended guidance is effective for us on a retrospective basis commencing in the first quarter of 2014. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

On April 6, 2012, we purchased the remaining 50% ownership interest in our corporate headquarters building located in San Francisco, California, for $90 million, which was funded from cash on hand. We previously held a 50% ownership interest and were the primary tenant in this building. This transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition, which requires that we re-measure our previously held 50% ownership interest to fair value and record the difference between the fair value and carrying value as a gain in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The re-measurement to fair value resulted in a non-cash pre-tax gain of $81 million ($51 million after-tax), which was recorded as a gain on business combination within Corporate in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of 2013.

The total fair value of the net assets acquired was $180 million, which was allocated as follows: buildings and improvements of $113 million and land of $58 million with the remainder allocated for settlement of our pre-existing lease and lease intangible assets. The fair value of the buildings and improvements was determined based on current market replacement costs less depreciation and unamortized tenant improvement costs, as well as, other relevant market information, and has a weighted average useful life of 30 years. The fair value of the land was determined using comparable sales of land within the surrounding market.

On March 25, 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Drug Trading Company Limited, the independent banner business of the Katz Group Canada Inc. (“Katz Group”), and Medicine Shoppe Canada Inc., the franchise business of the Katz Group (collectively, “Katz Assets”) for approximately $919 million, which was funded from cash on hand. The acquisition of the assets from the Drug Trading Company Limited consists of a marketing and purchasing arm of more than 850 independently owned pharmacies in Canada. The acquisition of Medicine Shoppe Canada Inc. consists of the franchise business of providing services to more than 160 independent pharmacies in Canada.

The following table summarizes the preliminary recording of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

 

(In millions)    Amounts
Previously
Recognized as of
Acquisition Date
(Provisional)

Current assets, net of cash acquired

     (37

Long-term deferred tax liabilities

     (39
  

 

 

 

Purchase price, less cash and cash equivalents

    $ 919   

 

(1)

As previously reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.

The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets of approximately $506 million was recorded as goodwill, which primarily reflects the expected future benefits to be realized upon integrating the business. The amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $287 million.

During the first quarter of 2013, there were no material adjustments to the preliminary fair values recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Katz Assets as of the acquisition date and, therefore, we have not retrospectively adjusted our financial statements. These amounts are subject to change within the measurement period as our fair value assessments are finalized. We currently expect to finalize our fair value assessments by September 2012. Financial results for the acquired Katz Assets are included in the results of operations within our Canadian pharmaceutical distribution and services business, which is part of our Distribution Solutions segment, beginning in the first quarter of 2013.

During the last two years, we also completed a number of smaller acquisitions within both of our operating segments. Financial results for our business acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates. Purchase prices for our business acquisitions have been allocated based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill recognized for our business acquisitions is generally not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. However, if we acquire the assets of a company, the goodwill may be deductible for tax purposes. The pro forma results of operations for our business acquisitions and the results of operations for these acquisitions since the acquisition date have not been presented because the effects were not material to the consolidated financial statements on either an individual or an aggregate basis.

 

3.

Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2012, we had $519 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $393 million would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate, if recognized. During the first quarter of 2013, we recorded an $82 million reduction to our gross unrecognized tax benefits as a result of a change in accounting method for tax purposes, which had no impact to the effective tax rate. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that audit resolutions and the expiration of statutes of limitations could potentially reduce our unrecognized tax benefits by up to $149 million. However, this amount may change because we continue to have ongoing negotiations with various taxing authorities throughout the year.

We have received tax assessments of $98 million from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) relating to 2003 through 2006. We disagree with a substantial portion of the tax assessments, which primarily relate to transfer pricing. We are pursuing administrative relief through the appeals process. We have also received assessments from the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) for a total of $169 million related to transfer pricing for 2003 through 2007. We have appealed the assessment for 2003 to the Tax Court of Canada and have filed a notice of objection for 2004 through 2007. The trial between McKesson Canada Corporation and the CRA, argued in the Tax Court of Canada, concluded in early February 2012, and we are waiting for the decision. We continue to believe in the merits of our tax positions and that we have adequately provided for any potential adverse results relating to these examinations in our financial statements. However, the final resolution of these issues could result in an increase or decrease to income tax expense.

In November 2011, the IRS began its examination of 2007 through 2009. In nearly all jurisdictions, the tax years prior to 2003 are no longer subject to examination. We believe that we have made adequate provision for all income tax uncertainties.

We report interest and penalties on tax deficiencies as income tax expense. At June 30, 2012, before any tax benefits, our accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefits amounted to $120 million. During the first quarter of 2013, we recognized an income tax benefit of $20 million in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, before any tax effect, which was primarily due to the reversal of accrued interest resulting from the reduction of our gross unrecognized tax benefits. We have no material amounts accrued for penalties.

4. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed similar to basic earnings per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The computations for basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:

 

     Quarter Ended June 30,  
(In millions, except per share amounts)    2012      2011

    $ 1.61         $ 1.15    

 

(1)  

Certain computations may reflect rounding adjustments.

Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units. Approximately 5 million and 4 million of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computations of diluted net earnings per common share for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, as they were anti-dilutive.

All intangible assets were subject to amortization as of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

 

6. Financing Activities

Accounts Receivable Sales Facility

In May 2012, we renewed our existing accounts receivable sales facility (the “Facility”) for a one year period under terms substantially similar to those previously in place. The committed balance of the Facility is $1.35 billion, although from time-to-time, the available amount of the Facility may be less than $1.35 billion based on accounts receivable concentration limits and other eligibility requirements. The renewed Facility will expire in May 2013.

During the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, there were no new borrowings under the Facility. At March 31, 2012, there were $400 million in secured borrowings and $400 million of related securitized accounts receivable outstanding under the Facility, which are included in short-term borrowings and receivables in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the first quarter of 2013, we repaid $400 million of short-term borrowings using cash on hand. At June 30, 2012, there were no secured borrowings or related securitized accounts receivables outstanding under the Facility.

The Facility contains requirements relating to the performance of the accounts receivable and covenants relating to the Company. If we do not comply with these covenants, our ability to use the Facility may be suspended and repayment of any outstanding balances under the Facility may be required. At June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a syndicated $1.3 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in September 2016. Borrowings under this facility bear interest based upon either the London Interbank Offered Rate or a prime rate. There were no borrowings under this facility during the first quarters of 2013 and 2012. As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.

7. Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

At June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, receivables, drafts and accounts payable, short-term borrowings and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition are included in cash and cash equivalents. Included in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were money market fund investments of $0.9 billion and $0.8 billion, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of these investments was determined by using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our long-term debt and other financing were $3.6 billion and $4.2 billion at June 30, 2012, and $3.6 billion and $4.1 billion at March 31, 2012. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt and other financing was determined using quoted market prices and other inputs that were derived from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.

In 2012, we entered into a number of forward contracts to hedge Canadian dollar and British pound denominated cash flows with gross notional values of $528 million and $151 million. The contracts to hedge Canadian dollar denominated cash flows mature over a period of eight years and have been designated for hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The contracts to hedge British pound denominated cash flows matured and were settled in the first quarter of 2013 and were not designated for hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts were recorded directly in earnings. At June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the fair value of the remaining contracts and any corresponding net gains or losses for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012 were not material and no amounts were reclassified to earnings. The fair values of all derivatives are considered to be Level 2 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.

 

8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, other pending and potential legal actions for damages, investigations relating to governmental laws and regulations and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of our business. As described below, many of these proceedings are at preliminary stages and many seek an indeterminate amount of damages.

When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, we record a liability in the amount of our best estimate for the ultimate loss. However, the likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on the information available and the potential effect of future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate resolution of the contingency. Moreover, it is not uncommon for such matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be reevaluated at least quarterly to determine both the likelihood of potential loss and whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of possible loss. When a loss is probable but a reasonable estimate cannot be made, disclosure of the proceeding is provided.

Disclosure also is provided when it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded provision. We review all contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. As discussed above, development of a meaningful estimate of loss or a range of potential loss is complex when the outcome is directly dependent on negotiations with or decisions by third parties, such as regulatory agencies, the court system and other interested parties. Such factors bear directly on whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of potential loss and boundaries of high and low estimates.

Significant developments in previously reported proceedings and in other litigation and claims since the filing of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K are set out below. Unless otherwise stated, we are currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses for the unresolved proceedings described below. Should any one or a combination of more than one of these proceedings be successful, or should we determine to settle any or a combination of these matters, we may be required to pay substantial sums, become subject to the entry of an injunction or be forced to change the manner in which we operate our business, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

I. Average Wholesale Price Litigation and Claims

The following matters involve a benchmark referred to as “AWP,” which is utilized by some public and private payers to calculate a portion of the amount that pharmacies and other providers are reimbursed for dispensing certain covered prescription drugs.

On April 3, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the United States Department of Justice to resolve the federal share of Medicaid claims related to AWP. The total settlement amount of $191 million, which includes interest, was paid on April 9, 2012. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the United States Department of Justice filed a notice seeking the dismissal with prejudice of the claims on behalf of the United States asserted by the relator in the qui tam action pending in New Jersey federal court to the extent those claims are encompassed by the settlement release in the parties’ agreement.

The Alaska Action

On May 16, 2012, in the previously reported action filed in Alaska state court by the State of Alaska against the Company and First Databank, Inc. (“FDB”), State of Alaska v. McKesson Corporation, et al., (No. 3AN-10-11348-CI), the court entered an order granting the parties’ joint motion to continue the February 4, 2013 trial date to September 23, 2013. Discovery is ongoing.

The Douglas County, Kansas Nationwide Class Action

On June 6, 2012, the Company paid into settlement escrow the outstanding $50 million balance of the previously reported $82 million settlement in the public payer class action filed against the Company in the United States District Court for Massachusetts relating to alleged misstatements and manipulations of AWP, Board of County Commissioners of Douglas County, Kansas et al. v. McKesson Corporation , (No. 1:08-CV-11349-PBS). The Douglas County, Kansas Action has been concluded, and the settlement releases have become final and binding on the classes and the settlement consideration has been paid and is no longer subject to return to the Company. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2013, the Company applied the $82 million settlement consideration against the related litigation reserve previously established as all criteria for the extinguishment of this liability were met.

The New Jersey Qui Tam AWP Action

On June 11, 2012, in the previously reported qui tam action filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company and seven other defendants, United States et al. ex rel. Morgan v. Express Scripts et al. , (No. 05-1714), the court entered an order which became effective on July 11, 2012, dismissing with prejudice the claims asserted on behalf of the United States to the extent those claims were encompassed by the settlement release in the written settlement agreement between the Company and the United States.

The Mississippi Action

On June 12, 2012, the court entered an order continuing the November 26, 2012 trial date to March 18, 2013, in the previously reported action filed in Mississippi state court by the State of Mississippi against the Company, State of Mississippi v. McKesson Corporation, et al. , (No. 251-10-862CIV). Discovery is ongoing.

The Arizona Administrative Proceeding

On June 14, 2012, the Arizona court of appeals held a hearing on the appeal of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (“AHCCCS”) from the trial court’s order enjoining AHCCCS from prosecuting or reinitiating any penalty proceeding against the Company in the previously reported action filed in Arizona state court by the Company against AHCCCS and its Director, McKesson Corporation v. AHCCCS, (No. CV-2011-004446). The appellate court has not yet ruled on AHCCCS’s appeal.

State AWP Medicaid Settlements

On July 26, 2012, the Company executed written settlement agreements with various states to resolve state Medicaid claims relating to AWP pursuant to the previously announced agreement reached with a coalition of State Attorneys General. The Company will pay the amount, which is sufficiently covered by the related litigation reserve as of June 30, 2012, pursuant to those settlement agreements, to the settling States in the second quarter of 2013. The settling States on whose behalf claims were filed against the Company in the previously reported qui tam action filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, will seek dismissal with prejudice of those claims. In addition, two of the settling States had separate, pending lawsuits against the Company as reported in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Pursuant to their settlement agreements, the State of Michigan will seek dismissal with prejudice of the claims it asserted against the Company in the previously reported action it filed in Michigan state court, Bill Schuette ex rel. State of Michigan v. McKesson Corporation, et al ., (No.11-629-CZ), and the State of Indiana will seek dismissal with prejudice of the claims it asserted against the Company in the previously reported action it filed in Indiana state court, State of Indiana v. McKesson Corp. et al., (No. 49D11-1106-PL-021595).

The Company has a reserve relating to AWP public entity claims, which is reviewed at least quarterly and whenever events or circumstances indicate changes, including consideration of the pace and progress of discussions relating to potentially resolving other public entity claims. Following our most recent review of the reserve for estimated probable losses from current and possible future public entity AWP claims, the Company recorded a $16 million charge during the first quarter of 2013. Pre-tax charges relating to changes in the Company’s AWP litigation reserve, including accrued interest, are recorded in the Distribution Solutions segment. The Company’s AWP litigation reserve is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. In view of the number of outstanding cases and expected future claims, and the uncertainties of the timing and outcome of this type of litigation, it is possible that the ultimate costs of these matters may exceed or be less than the reserve.

The following is the activity related to the AWP litigation reserve for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

 

     Quarter Ended June 30,  
(In millions)    2012      2011

9. Stockholders’ Equity

Each share of the Company’s outstanding common stock is permitted one vote on proposals presented to stockholders and is entitled to share equally in any dividends declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

In March 2012, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase program with a third party financial institution to repurchase $1.2 billion of the Company’s common stock. The program was funded with cash on hand. As of March 31, 2012, we had received 12 million shares representing the minimum number of shares due under this program. This program was completed in multiple tranches, and we received 0.9 million additional shares during the first quarter of 2013. In July 2012, we received 0.6 million additional shares upon completion of this program. The total number of shares repurchased under this program was 13.5 million shares at an average price per share of $89.10.

In April 2012, the Board authorized the repurchase of an additional $700 million of the Company’s common stock, bringing the total authorization outstanding to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2012.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2013 increased 3% to $30.8 billion compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in revenues primarily reflects market growth in our Distribution Solutions segment, which accounted for approximately 97% of our consolidated revenues.

On April 6, 2012, we purchased the remaining 50% ownership interest in our corporate headquarters building located in San Francisco, California for $90 million, which was funded from cash on hand. We previously held a 50% ownership interest and were the primary tenant in this building. This transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition, which requires that we re-measure our previously held 50% ownership interest to fair value and record the difference between the fair value and carrying value as a gain in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The re-measurement to fair value resulted in a non-cash pre-tax gain of $81 million ($51 million after-tax), which was recorded as a gain on business combination within Corporate in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of 2013.

Income before income taxes for the first quarter of 2013 increased 28% to $531 million compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to the gain on business combination and growth in our Distribution Solutions segment. These increases were partially offset by a $16 million pre-tax charge to increase an existing reserve for our Average Wholesale Price (“AWP”) litigation.

Net income for the first quarter of 2013 increased 33% to $380 million and diluted earnings per common share for the first quarter of 2013 increased 40% to $1.58 compared to the same period a year ago. Diluted earnings per common share for 2013 also benefited from our repurchase of common stock.

Total Revenues

    $ 30,798         $ 29,980                

Total revenues increased for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to our Distribution Solutions segment, which accounted for approximately 97% of our consolidated revenues.

Direct distribution and services revenues increased primarily due to market growth, which includes growing drug utilization and price increases, increased volume with existing customers and new customers. The increase was partially offset by loss of customers and price deflation associated with brand to generic drug conversions. Sales to customers’ warehouses increased primarily due to increased volume from existing customers and a new customer.

Canadian pharmaceutical distribution and services revenues decreased during the first quarter of 2013. Excluding an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation of 4%, revenues decreased due to four less sales days and government-imposed price reduction for generic pharmaceuticals in certain provinces, partially offset by market growth and an increase in revenues associated with our acquisition of the Katz Assets, as discussed below.

On March 25, 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Drug Trading Company Limited, the independent banner business of the Katz Group Canada Inc. (“Katz Group”), and Medicine Shoppe Canada Inc., the franchise business of the Katz Group (collectively, “Katz Assets”) for approximately $919 million, which was funded from cash on hand. The acquisition of the assets from the Drug Trading Company Limited consists of a marketing and purchasing arm of more than 850 independently owned pharmacies in Canada. The acquisition of Medicine Shoppe Canada Inc. consists of the franchise business of providing services to more than 160 independent pharmacies in Canada. Financial results for the acquired Katz Assets are included in the results of operations within our Canadian pharmaceutical distribution and services business, beginning in the first quarter of 2013.

Medical-Surgical distribution and services revenues increased primarily due to market growth and new customers.

Technology Solutions revenues increased primarily due to higher revenues for claims processing and an increase in maintenance revenues from new and existing customers.

Gross profit and gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2013 increased compared to the same period a year ago primarily as a result of growth in our Distribution Solutions segment.

Distribution Solutions segment’s gross profit margin increased primarily due to an increase in buy margin, increased sales of higher margin generic drugs and our acquisition of the Katz Assets, partially offset by a decrease in sell margin. Buy margin primarily reflects volume and timing of compensation from branded pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Technology Solutions segment’s gross profit margin decreased primarily due to an unfavorable change in revenue mix.

Operating expenses and operating expenses as a percentage of revenues for the first quarter of 2013 decreased compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to the gain on business combination, partially offset by increases due to the addition of the Katz Assets, higher employee compensation and benefit costs and an AWP litigation charge of $16 million.

Within our operating expenses in the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, we recorded a net credit of $79 million and a charge of $10 million for acquisition expenses and related adjustments. The net credit in the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to the gain on business combination, and the charge in the first quarter of 2012 was primarily incurred to integrate our acquisition of US Oncology Holdings, Inc.

Acquisition expenses and related adjustments include transaction and integration expenses that are directly related to acquisitions by the Company and gains and losses related to business combinations. These expenses by segment were as follows:

Technology Solutions segment’s operating expenses and operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to higher employee compensation and benefits costs and our continued investment in research and development activities.

Corporate expenses decreased primarily due to the gain on business combination and lower employee compensation and benefits costs.

Other income, net for the first quarter of 2013 approximated the same period a year ago.

(3)  

Corporate expenses for the first quarter of 2013 are net of an $81 million pre-tax gain on business combination.

Operating profit margin for our Distribution Solutions segment increased primarily due to an increase in gross profit margin, partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percentage of revenues.

Operating profit margin for our Technology Solutions segment decreased primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin and higher operating expenses as a percentage of revenues.

Corporate expenses, net of other income decreased primarily due to the gain on business combination and lower operating expenses.

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the first quarter of 2013 decreased compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to the repayment of $400 million of the current portion of our long-term debt in February 2012.

Income Taxes: Our reported income tax rates for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012 were 28.4% and 31.3%. Fluctuations in our reported income tax rates are primarily due to changes within our estimated business mix, including varying proportions of income attributable to foreign countries that have lower income tax rates and discrete tax items. During the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, income tax expense included $17 million and $3 million of net income tax benefits for discrete items. Discrete tax benefits for 2013 primarily related to the reversal of accrued interest resulting from the reduction of gross unrecognized tax benefits.

Net Income : Net income was $380 million and $286 million for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, or $1.58 and $1.13 per diluted common share. Net income and diluted earnings per common share for the first quarter of 2013 include an after-tax credit of $51 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, due to the gain on business combination.

Weighted Average Diluted Common Shares Outstanding : Diluted earnings per common share were calculated based on a weighted average number of shares outstanding of 240 million and 254 million for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012. The decrease in the number of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding primarily reflects the effect of share repurchases during the last twelve months, partially offset by exercises of share-based awards.

Business Combinations

In addition to the acquisition of our corporate headquarters building and the Katz Assets, we also completed a number of smaller acquisitions within both of our operating segments over the last two years. Financial results for our business acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates. Purchase prices for our business acquisitions have been allocated based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill recognized for our business acquisitions is generally not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. However, if we acquire the assets of a company, the goodwill may be deductible for tax purposes. The pro forma results of operations for our business acquisitions and the results of operations for these acquisitions since the acquisition date have not been presented because the effects were not material to the consolidated financial statements on either an individual or an aggregate basis.

Refer to Financial Note 2, “Business Combinations,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements that we have recently adopted as well as those that have been recently issued but not yet adopted by us are included in Financial Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect our available cash generated from operations, together with our existing sources of liquidity from our accounts receivable sales facility and short-term borrowings under the revolving credit facility and commercial paper, will be sufficient to fund our long-term and short-term capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements. In addition, from time-to-time, we may access the long-term debt capital markets to discharge our other liabilities.

Operating activities used cash of $552 million and provided cash of $326 million during the first quarters of 2013 and 2012. Operating activities for the first quarter of 2013 include $273 million of payments made for AWP litigation settlements. Cash flows from operations can be significantly impacted by factors such as the timing of receipts from customers, inventory receipts and payments to vendors. Additionally, working capital is a function of sales activity and inventory requirements.

Investing activities utilized cash of $150 million and $154 million during the first quarters of 2013 and 2012. Investing activities primarily reflect cash paid for business and property acquisitions and capitalized software.

Financing activities utilized cash of $425 million and $668 million during the first quarters of 2013 and 2012. Financing activities for the first quarter of 2013 include $400 million of cash paid for repayment of short-term borrowings and, for the first quarter of 2012, include $650 million of cash paid for stock repurchases.

In March 2012, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase program with a third party financial institution to repurchase $1.2 billion of the Company’s common stock. This program was funded with cash on hand. As of March 31, 2012, we had received 12.0 million shares representing the minimum number of shares due under this program. This program was completed in multiple tranches, and we received 0.9 million additional shares during the first quarter of 2013. In July 2012, we received 0.6 million additional shares upon completion of this program. The total number of shares repurchased under this program was 13.5 million shares at an average price per share of $89.10.

In April 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $700 million of the Company’s common stock, bringing the total authorization outstanding to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2012. Stock repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs, or by any combination of such methods. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under our debt obligations and other market and economic conditions.

We believe that our operating cash flow, financial assets and current access to capital and credit markets, including our existing credit facilities, will give us the ability to meet our financing needs for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that continued or increased volatility and disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our liquidity or increase our costs of borrowing.

Ratio is computed as total debt divided by the sum of total debt and stockholders’ equity.

(2)

Ratio is computed as total debt, net of cash and cash equivalents (“net debt”), divided by the sum of net debt and stockholders’ equity (“net capital employed”).

(3)

Ratio is computed as net income for the last four quarters, divided by a five-quarter average of stockholders’ equity.

Cash is primarily held in non-interest bearing accounts and is fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regardless of the dollar amount. Cash equivalents are primarily invested in AAA rated prime money market funds denominated in US dollars, Canadian government securities and a AAA rated prime money market fund denominated in British pound sterling.

The remaining cash and cash equivalents are deposited with several financial institutions. We mitigate the risk of our short-term investment portfolio by depositing funds with reputable financial institutions and monitoring risk profiles and investment strategies of money market funds.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2012, included approximately $1.4 billion of cash held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States. Our primary intent is to utilize this cash in the foreign operations as well as to fund certain research and development activities for an indefinite period of time. Although the vast majority of cash held outside the United States is available for repatriation, doing so could subject us to U.S. federal, state and local income tax.

Working capital primarily includes cash and cash equivalents, receivables and inventories net of drafts and accounts payable, deferred revenue and other current liabilities. Our Distribution Solutions segment requires a substantial investment in working capital that is susceptible to large variations during the year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands. Inventory purchase activity is a function of sales activity and other requirements. Consolidated working capital increased slightly primarily due to a decrease in drafts and accounts payable and the repayment of short-term borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Our ratio of net debt to net capital employed increased in 2013 primarily due to lower cash and cash equivalents balances, partially offset by a decrease to total debt resulting from the $400 million of cash repayment of short-term borrowings.

Credit Resources

We fund our working capital requirements primarily with cash and cash equivalents, as well as, short-term borrowings under the accounts receivable sales facility, revolving credit facility and from commercial paper issuances.

Accounts Receivable Sales Facility

In May 2012, we renewed our existing accounts receivable sales facility (the “Facility”) for a one year period under terms substantially similar to those previously in place. The committed balance of the Facility is $1.35 billion, although from time-to-time, the available amount of the Facility may be less than $1.35 billion based on accounts receivable concentration limits and other eligibility requirements. The renewed Facility will expire in May 2013.

During the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, there were no new borrowings under the Facility. At March 31, 2012, there were $400 million in secured borrowings and $400 million of related securitized accounts receivable outstanding under the Facility, which are included in short-term borrowings and receivables in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the first quarter of 2013, we repaid $400 million of short-term borrowings using cash on hand. At June 30, 2012, there were no secured borrowings or related securitized accounts receivables outstanding under the Facility.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a syndicated $1.3 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in September 2016. Borrowings under this facility bear interest based upon either the London Interbank Offered Rate or a prime rate. There were no borrowings under this facility for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012. As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.

Debt Covenants

Our various borrowing facilities and long-term debt are subject to certain covenants. Our principal debt covenant is our debt to capital ratio under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which cannot exceed 56.5%. For the purpose of calculating this ratio, borrowings under the accounts receivable sales facility are excluded. If we exceed this ratio, repayment of debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility could be accelerated. As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with our financial covenants.

Funds necessary for future debt maturities and our other cash requirements are expected to be met by existing cash balances, cash flow from operations, existing credit sources and other capital market transactions.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

In March 2012, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) program with a third party financial institution to repurchase $1.2 billion of the Company’s common stock.

In the event that such rate is not available on any day at such time for any reason, then the “Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate” for such day shall be the rate at which thirty (30) day U.S. Dollar deposits of $5,000,000 are offered by the principal London office of JPMorgan Chase in immediately available funds in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on

 

3


such day; and if JPMorgan Chase, as Managing Agent, is for any reason unable to determine the Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate in the foregoing manner or has determined in good faith that the Daily/ 30 Day LIBOR Rate determined in such manner does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring, funding or maintaining a Purchaser Interest, the Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate for such day shall be the Base Rate.

(b) If less than all of the Committed Purchasers give a notice to the Managing Agents pursuant to Section 3.5(a) , each Committed Purchaser which gave such a notice shall be obligated, at the request of Seller or such Committed Purchaser’s Managing Agent (on behalf of the related Conduit Purchaser or Conduit Purchasers), to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Committed Purchaser that is acceptable to such related Conduit Purchaser or Conduit Purchasers or (ii) another funding entity nominated by Seller that is acceptable to such Conduit Purchaser or Conduit Purchasers and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Facility Termination Date in the place of such notifying Committed Purchaser; provided that (i) the notifying Committed Purchaser receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Capital and Yield owing to all of the Committed Purchasers and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers, and (ii) the replacement Committed Purchaser otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 11.1(b) .

The Servicer shall cause a Collection Account Agreement to be in effect at all times with respect to each Collection Account. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances.

If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Collateral Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

 

21


(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided , however , that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event deliver or make available to the Collateral Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Collateral Agent.

27


whom such Conduit Purchaser or Funding Source, as the case may be, has entered into agreements to purchase interests in or finance receivables and other financial assets (“ Other Customers ”), and Seller shall not be liable for any such increased costs or reductions that are attributable to any Other Customer.

(b) A certificate of the applicable Funding Source (or its related Managing Agent on its behalf) claiming compensation under Section 9.2(a) shall be sent to Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that such certificate (i) sets forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts payable to such Funding Source pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 9.2 , (ii) explains the methodology used to determine such amount and (iii) states that such amount is consistent with return metrics applied in determining amounts that such Funding Source has required other similarly situated borrowers or obligors (after consideration of facility pricing, structure, usage patterns, capital treatment and relationship) to pay with respect to such increased costs or reduced returns. The Seller shall pay such Funding Source (or its related Managing Agent on its behalf) the amount as due on any such certificate on the next Settlement Date following receipt of such notice.

28


shall provide written notice to the Seller and the Servicer that such Funding Source intends to request such public rating(s) of this facility from two credit rating agencies (or one credit rating agency, as applicable) selected by such Funding Source and acceptable to the Seller in its sole discretion (the “ Required Rating(s) ”). The Seller and the Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with such Funding Source’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating(s), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the applicable credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable), either directly or through distribution to the Collateral Agent or such Funding Source (or its related Managing Agent), any information (subject to the agreement of each applicable credit rating agency to maintain the confidentiality of any information so provided which relates to any Obligor) requested by such credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable) for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating(s); provided that neither failure to obtain the Required Rating(s) nor failure to have the facility rated (to the extent that Seller has acted in good faith to attempt to obtain such rating) shall constitute an Event of Default or early amortization event. The requesting Funding Source shall pay the initial fees payable to the credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable) for providing the rating(s) and Seller shall pay all ongoing fees payable to the credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable) for their continued monitoring of the rating(s). Nothing in this Section 9.2(d) shall preclude any Funding Source from demanding compensation from the Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(a) hereof at any time and without regard to whether the Required Rating(s) shall have been obtained, or shall require any Funding Source to obtain any ratings on the facility evidenced by this Agreement prior to demanding any such compensation from the Seller; provided, however, in demanding such compensation the applicable Funding Source shall take into account and give effect to any reduction in amounts payable under Section 9.2(a) due to the Required Rating(s) having been obtained.

Section 9.3 Other Costs and Expenses . Seller shall pay to the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents and the Conduit Purchasers on demand all costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, all rating agency fees, costs and expenses incurred by any Conduit Purchaser or Managing Agent, the cost of the Conduit Purchasers’ auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of Seller, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent (which such counsel may be employees of the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents or the Collateral Agent) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement.

Each such Purchaser further undertakes to deliver to each of Seller and the related Managing Agent two additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes

 

29


obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Seller or the related Managing Agent, in each case certifying that such Purchaser is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless any change in any treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which prevents such Purchaser from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Purchaser advises Seller and the related Managing Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(b) Each Purchaser that is not a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes agrees to indemnify and hold Seller, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent harmless in respect of any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller, any Managing Agent or the Collateral Agent as a result of, and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, payments hereunder to such Purchaser may be subject to deduction or withholding without indemnification by Seller for any United States federal income taxes, penalties, interest and other costs and losses incurred or payable by Seller, any Managing Agent or the Collateral Agent as a result of, (i) such Purchaser’s failure to submit any form that is required pursuant to this Section 9.4 or (ii) Seller’s, any Managing Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s reliance on any form that such Purchaser has provided pursuant to this Section 9.4 that is determined to be inaccurate in any material respect.

ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Section 11.1 Assignments .

(a) Seller and each Committed Purchaser hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment by each Conduit Purchaser of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement (i) to the related Committed Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement, (ii) to any other issuer of commercial paper notes sponsored or administered by the Managing Agent of such Conduit’s Purchaser Group and with a rating of at least A-1/P-1 or (iii) to any other Person; provided that, prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, such Conduit Purchaser may not make any such assignment pursuant to this clause (iii), except in the event that the circumstances described in Section 11.1(c) occur, without the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and upon such assignment, such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from its obligations so assigned. Further, Seller and each Committed Purchaser hereby agree that any assignee of any Conduit Purchaser of this Agreement or all or any of the Purchaser Interests of such Conduit Purchaser shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term “ Conduit Purchaser ” explicitly referred to such party, and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Neither Seller nor the Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Any Committed Purchaser may, at any time and from time to time, assign to one or more Persons (“ Purchasing Committed Purchasers ”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VI hereto (the “ Assignment Agreement ”) executed by such Purchasing Committed Purchaser and such selling Committed Purchaser. The consent of the Conduit Purchaser or Conduit Purchasers in such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group, if any, shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. The selling Committed Purchaser will consult with the Seller regarding the suitability of the Purchasing Committed Purchaser prior to the effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) and, so long as the Seller’s response is not unreasonably withheld or delayed, such Committed Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate the Seller’s preferences and, if the Seller timely solicits a commitment from an eligible assignee on terms that are not disadvantageous to the assigning Committed Purchaser, such Committed Purchaser will accommodate the Seller’s request. Each assignee of a Committed Purchaser which is a member of a Purchaser Group which has a Conduit Purchaser as a member must have a short-term debt rating from S&P and Moody’s equal to or greater than the ratings required in order to maintain the rating of the commercial paper issued by the related Conduit Purchaser (the “ Required Ratings ”). Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Collateral Agent, such selling Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Committed Purchaser party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Seller, the Purchasers or the Collateral Agent shall be required.

 

33


(c) Each of the Committed Purchasers that is (i) not a Conduit Purchaser and (ii) a member of a Purchaser Group that has a Conduit Purchaser as a member, agrees that in the event that it shall cease to have the Required Ratings (an “ Affected Committed Purchaser ”), such Affected Committed Purchaser shall be obliged, at the request of the Conduit Purchasers in such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group or the applicable Managing Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) another Committed Purchaser or (y) another funding entity nominated by such Managing Agent and acceptable to such affected Conduit Purchasers, and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Facility Termination Date in the place of such Affected Committed Purchaser; provided , that the Affected Committed Purchaser receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing to the Committed Purchasers and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers.

Any Committed Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “ Participant ”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers or any other interest of such Committed Purchaser hereunder. The selling Committed Purchaser will consult with the Seller regarding the suitability of each Participant prior to the effectiveness of any participation pursuant to this Section 11.2 and, so long as the Seller’s response is not unreasonably withheld or delayed, such Committed Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate the Seller’s preferences, and, if the Seller timely solicits a commitment from an eligible Participant on terms that are not disadvantageous to the selling Committed Purchaser, such Committed Purchaser will accommodate the Seller’s request. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Committed Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Committed Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Seller, the Servicer, the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. No Participant shall have rights greater than those of the related Committed Purchaser. Each Committed Purchaser agrees that any agreement between such Committed Purchaser and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Committed Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 11.1(b)(i) .

Section 11.3 Additional Purchaser Groups; Joinder by Conduit Purchaser .

Upon the effective date of such Joinder Agreement, (i) each Person specified therein as a “New Conduit Purchaser” shall become a party hereto as a Conduit Purchaser, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Conduit Purchaser hereunder, (ii) each Person specified therein as a “New Committed Purchaser” shall become a party hereto as a Committed Purchaser, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Committed Purchaser hereunder, (iii) each Person specified therein as a “New Managing Agent” shall become a party hereto as a Managing Agent, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Managing Agent hereunder and (iv) the Purchase Limit shall be increased, if appropriate, by an amount which is equal to (x) the aggregate

Upon the effective date of such Joinder Agreement, each Person specified therein as a “New Conduit Purchaser” shall become a party hereto as a Conduit Purchaser, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Conduit Purchaser hereunder.

Section 11.4 Extension of Facility Termination Date . The Seller may advise any Managing Agent in writing of its desire to extend the Facility Termination Date for an additional period not exceeding 364 days, provided such request is made not more than 90 days prior to, and not less than 60 days prior to, the then current Facility Termination Date. Each Managing Agent so advised by the Seller shall promptly notify each Committed Purchaser in its related Purchaser Group of any such request and each such Committed Purchaser shall notify its related Managing Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Seller of its decision to accept or decline the request for such extension no later than 30 days prior to the then current Facility Termination Date (it being understood that each Committed Purchaser may accept or decline such request in its sole discretion and on such terms as it may elect, and the failure to so notify its Managing Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Seller shall be deemed an election not to extend by such Committed Purchaser). In the event that at least one Committed Purchaser agrees to extend the Facility Termination Date, the Seller Parties, the Collateral Agent, the extending Committed Purchasers and the applicable Managing Agent or Managing Agents shall enter into such documents as such extending Committed Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Committed Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event that any Committed Purchaser (a) declines the request to extend the Facility Termination Date or (b) is in a Purchaser Group with respect to which the Seller did not seek an extension of the Facility Termination Date (each such Committed Purchaser being referred to herein as a “ Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser ”), and, in the case of a Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser described in clause (a), the Commitment of such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser is not assigned to another Person in accordance with the terms of this Article XI prior to the then current Facility Termination Date, the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to each such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser’s Commitment on the then current Facility Termination Date.

Section 11.5 Terminating Committed Purchasers .

(a) Any Affected Committed Purchaser or Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser which has not assigned its rights and obligations hereunder if requested pursuant to this Article XI shall be a “ Terminating Committed Purchaser ” for purposes of this Agreement as of the then current Facility Termination Date (or, in the case of any Affected Committed Purchaser, such earlier date as declared by the Conduit Purchaser in such Affected Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group). If an Amortization Event has occurred, and the Committed Purchasers in a Purchaser Group have voted or otherwise determined to declare an Amortization Date, but the Committed Purchasers in the other Purchaser Groups have voted or otherwise determined not to declare an Amortization Date, then the Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group (and each Conduit Purchaser in such Purchaser Group that has any Capital outstanding at such time) may, upon written notice to the Servicer, the Seller and the Collateral Agent, elect to become, and shall become, Terminating Committed Purchasers effective on the date specified in such notice, which shall be a date no less than three (3) Business Days after the date such notice is received by the Servicer, the Seller and the Collateral Agent.

(b) Each Terminating Committed Purchaser shall be allocated, in accordance with Section 2.2 , a ratable portion of Collections according to its respective Termination Percentage from the date of its becoming a Terminating Committed Purchaser (the “ Termination Date ”) until such Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Capital shall be paid in full. Each Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Termination Percentage shall remain constant prior to the Amortization Date. On and after the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage shall be disregarded, and each Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Capital shall be reduced ratably with all Committed Purchasers in accordance with Section 2.3 .

(c) On the date any Committed Purchaser becomes a Terminating Committed Purchaser, the Commitment of such Committed Purchaser shall terminate and the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment. Upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests of a Terminating Committed Purchaser (after application of Collections thereto pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.4 ) all rights and obligations of such terminating Committed Purchaser hereunder shall be terminated and such terminating Committed Purchaser shall no longer be a “Committed Purchaser” hereunder; provided , however , that the provisions of Article IX shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests or the Commitment held by such Terminating Committed Purchaser prior to its termination as a Committed Purchaser.

With respect to annual Restricted Stock Unit Awards granted to Outside Directors under the Plan, such awards shall contain the following terms, conditions and restrictions.

(A)     Grant Date .    Each Outside Director may be granted a Restricted Stock Unit Award on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders. An Outside Director that is elected to the Board between annual meetings of stockholders may also be granted a Restricted Stock Unit Award on the date that the Board determines in its sole discretion.

(B)     Number of Restricted Stock Units .    The number of Restricted Stock Units granted for the annual grant will be determined by dividing the closing stock price on the date of grant into $150,000 (with any fractional unit rounded up to the nearest whole unit) so long as the number of Restricted Stock Units does not exceed 5,000 in any year.

(A)    If a Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or of its Affiliates during the Option Period for reasons other than for Cause, Long-Term Disability, Normal Retirement, Early Retirement or death, the Option Period shall end ninety days after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first and in all cases the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable under the provisions of the foregoing Section II.4 at the time of such termination of employment.

(B)    If a Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or of its Affiliates (for reasons other than for Cause, Long-Term Disability, Normal Retirement, Early Retirement or death) during the Option Period, the Administrator may, in its sole and absolute discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances) approve the continuation of the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option. The Option Period for any Option that continues to vest pursuant to this subsection (B) shall end ninety days after the last Option installment vests, or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first.

(iii)    With respect to an Option held by a Participant at Normal Retirement or Early Retirement, the Option Period for that portion of the Option designated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall end three years after the date of such retirement or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that in the case of an Option held by a Participant at Early Retirement as to which the Administrator exercises its discretionary authority to approve the continuation of the vesting schedule, the Option Period shall end on the earlier of the Termination Date or three years after the last Option installment vests.

(F)    If a Participant should die while in the employ of the Corporation or an Affiliate and during the Option Period, the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option shall be accelerated and the Option shall become fully exercisable, the Option Period shall end three years after the date of death or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first, and the Participant’s Beneficiary may exercise the entire unexercised portion of the then exercisable Shares covered by such Option (or any lesser amount) remaining on the date of death.

(G)    If a Participant who ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate is subsequently rehired prior to the expiration of his Option, then the Option shall continue to remain outstanding until such time as the Participant subsequently terminates employment. Upon the Participant’s subsequent termination of employment, the post-termination exercise period calculated pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section II.5 shall be reduced by the number of days between the date of the Participant’s initial termination of employment and his re-hire date; provided, however, that if the rehired Participant continues to be employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate for at least one year from his rehire date, then the post termination exercise period for the Option shall be determined in accordance with Sections II.5(A) through (F) and shall not be adjusted as described in this Section II.5(G).

6.     Method of Exercise .    A Participant may exercise an Option with respect to all or any part of the exercisable Shares as follows:

(A)    By giving the Corporation, or its authorized representative designated for this purpose, written notice of such exercise specifying the number of Shares as to which the Option is so exercised. Such notice shall be accompanied by an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares exercised, in the form of any one or combination of the following: cash or a certified check, bank draft, postal or express money order payable to the order of the Corporation in lawful money of the United States. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in his or her sole discretion, the Participant may pay the Exercise Price, in whole or in part, by tendering to the Corporation or its authorized representative Shares, which have been owned by the Participant for at least six months prior to said tender, and having a fair market value, as determined by the Corporation, equal to the Exercise Price, or in lieu of the delivery of actual Shares in such tender, the Corporation may accept an attestation by the

 

3


CEO

 

Participant, in a form prescribed by the Corporation or its authorized representative, that the Participant owns sufficient Shares of record or in an account in street name to satisfy the Exercise Price, and such attestation will be deemed a tender of Shares for purposes of this method of exercise. The Corporation or its authorized representative may accept payment of the amount due upon the exercise of the Option in the form of a Participant’s personal check. Payment may also be made by delivery (including by FAX transmission) to the Corporation or its authorized representative of an executed irrevocable Option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to an approved registered investment broker to sell Shares in an amount sufficient to pay the Exercise Price plus any applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section VII.6) and to transfer the proceeds of such sale to the Corporation.

(B)    If required by the Corporation, by giving satisfactory assurance in writing, signed by the Participant, the Participant shall give his assurance that the Shares subject to the Option are being purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof; provided that such assurance shall be deemed inapplicable to (1) any sale of the Shares by such Participant made in accordance with the terms of a registration statement covering such sale, which has heretofore been (or may hereafter be) filed and become effective under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and with respect to which no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued, and (2) any other sale of the Shares with respect to which, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, such assurance is not required to be given in order to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act.

(C)    As soon as practicable after receipt of the notice and the assurance described in Sections II.6(A) and (B), the Corporation shall, without transfer or issue tax (except for withholding tax arrangements contemplated in Section VII.6) and without other incidental expense to the Participant, credit the purchased Shares to the Participant’s brokerage account of record. If the Participant does not have a brokerage account of record, then the Corporation shall cause an appropriate book entry to be entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent recording the Participant’s unrestricted interest in the purchased Shares; provided, however, that the time of such delivery may be postponed by the Corporation for such period as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply with applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable listing requirements of any national securities exchange and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Shares.

7.     Limitations on Transfer .    An Option shall, during a Participant’s lifetime, be exercisable only by the Participant. No Option or any right granted thereunder shall be transferable by the Participant by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Participant may designate a beneficiary to succeed, after the Participant’s death, to all of the Participant’s Options outstanding on the date of death; (ii) a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be transferable pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act; and (iii) any Participant, who is a senior executive officer recommended by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and approved by the Administrator may voluntarily transfer any Nonstatutory Stock Option to a Family Member as a gift or through a transfer to an entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in that entity. In the event of

any attempt by a Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of an Option or of any right thereunder, except as provided herein, or in the event of the levy of any attachment, execution, or similar process upon the rights or interest hereby conferred, the Corporation at its election may terminate the affected Option by notice to the Participant and the Option shall thereupon become null and void.

8.     No Stockholder Rights .    Neither a Participant nor any person entitled to exercise a Participant’s rights in the event of the Participant’s death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option except to the extent that a book entry has been entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent with respect to such Shares upon the exercise of an Option.

Any provision of this Section V which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable should be construed or limited in a manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the business objectives intended by such invalid or unenforceable provision, without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this Section V.

 

VI.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

1.    If as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Stock ceases to be listed for trading on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange”), any Option, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units, or Performance Shares that are unvested on the effective date of the Change in Control shall continue to vest according to the terms and conditions of such Award, provided that such Award is replaced with an award for voting securities of the resulting corporation or the acquiring corporation, as the case may be, (including without limitation, the voting securities of any corporation which as a result of the Change in Control owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (the “Surviving Company”) which are traded on an Exchange (a “Replacement Award”), which Replacement Award, (i) in the case of Options, shall consist of options with the number of underlying shares and exercise price determined in a manner consistent with Code Section 424(a) with vesting and any other terms continuing in the same manner as the replaced Options; (ii) in the case of Performance Shares, shall consist of restricted stock or restricted stock units with a value (determined using the Surviving Company’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control) equal to the value of the Performance Shares (determined using the Corporation’s stock price and assuming attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater, as of the effective date of the Change in Control), with any restrictions on such restricted stock or restricted stock units lapsing at the end of the measuring period over which performance for the replaced Performance Shares was to be measured prior to the granting of the Replacement Award; and (iii) in the case of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, shall consist of restricted stock or restricted stock units with a value (determined using the Surviving Company’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control) equal to the value of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (determined using the Corporation’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control), with any restrictions on such restricted stock or restricted stock units lapsing at the same time and manner as the replaced Award; provided, however, that in the event of the Participant’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Corporation without Cause or Separation from Service by the Participant for Good Reason during the vesting period of any Replacement Award, the Replacement Award shall immediately vest and be paid within seven days of such Separation from Service; and provided further that upon the vesting date of each Replacement Award, in addition to the fully vested Replacement Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment (paid at the same time as the Award) equal to the decrease, if any, in the value of a share of the Surviving Company’s stock from the effective date of the Change in Control (as increased on a calendar quarterly basis using an annual interest rate, as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, for zero-coupon U.S. government securities with a constant maturity closest in length to the time period between the effective date of the Change in Control and the date of the vesting of the Replacement Award) to the time of vesting, multiplied by the total number of shares or share equivalents subject to the options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units in the Replacement Award. If Options, Restricted Stock Awards,

 

11


CEO

 

Restricted Stock Units, or Performance Shares that are unvested at the effective time of the Change in Control are not replaced with Replacement Awards, such Awards shall immediately vest and, in the case of Performance Shares, shall vest based upon deemed attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater.

If as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Stock continues to be listed for trading on an Exchange, any unvested Option, Restricted Stock Award, or Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest according to the terms and conditions of such Award and any Performance Shares shall be replaced with Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units where the number of such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be equal to the number of Performance Shares assuming attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater, as of the effective date of the Change in Control with any restrictions on such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units lapsing at the end of the measuring period over which performance for the replaced Performance Shares was to be measured prior to the granting of the replacement Award; provided however, that, in the event of the Participant’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Corporation without Cause or Separation from Service by the Participant for Good Reason during the vesting period of an Award, such Award shall immediately vest and be paid within seven days of such Separation from Service; and provided further that upon the vesting date of each Award, in addition to the fully vested Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment (paid at the same time as the Award) equal to the decrease, if any, in the value of a Share of the Corporation’s stock from the effective date of the Change in Control (as increased on a calendar quarterly basis using an annual interest rate, as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, for zero-coupon U.S. government securities with a constant maturity closest in length to the time period between the effective date of the Change in Control and the date of the vesting of the award) to the time of vesting, multiplied by the total number of Shares or Share Equivalents subject to the Options, Restricted Stock, or Restricted Stock Units.

2.    If (i) The Participant is a Specified Employee at the time of his Separation from Service, and (ii) some or any portion of the amounts payable to the Participant, if any, when considered together with any other payments or benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) and subject to the plan aggregation rules under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(c)(3)(viii) (together, the “Deferred Compensation Benefits”) would result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Participant on or within the six (6) month period following the Separation from Service, then to the extent such portion of the Deferred Compensation Benefits resulting in the imposition of additional tax would otherwise have been payable on or within the first six (6) months following the Separation from Service, it will instead become payable on the first payroll date that occurs in the seventh month following the Separation from Service (or such longer period as is required to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A). All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.

 

VII.

MISCELLANEOUS

1.     No Effect on Terms of Employment .    Participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) and shall not

 

12


CEO

 

interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate, with or without cause, or change the terms of employment of a Participant at any time.

2.     Grants to Participants in Foreign Countries .    In making grants to Participants in foreign countries, the Administrator has the full discretion to deviate from this Statement of Terms and Conditions in order to adjust grants under the Plan to prevailing local conditions, including custom and legal and tax requirements. Furthermore, the Corporation reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan on the Award and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertaking that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

3.     Information Notification .    Any information required to be given under the terms of an Award shall be addressed to the Corporation in care of its Corporate Secretary at McKesson Corporation, One Post Street, 35 th Floor, San Francisco, California 94104, and any notice to be given to a Participant shall be addressed to him at the address indicated beneath his name on the Award Agreement or such other address as either party may designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified and deposited (postage or registration or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office.

4.     Administrator Decisions Conclusive .    All decisions of the Administrator administering the Plan upon any questions arising under the Plan or under an Award Agreement, shall be conclusive.

5.     No Effect on Other Benefit Plans .    Nothing herein contained shall affect a Participant’s right to participate in and receive benefits from and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pensions, insurance or other employment welfare plan or program offered by the Corporation.

6.     Withholding .    Regardless of any action the Corporation or the Employer takes with respect to any federal, state or local income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains his responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Award, as applicable, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employer (or former employer, as

 

13


CEO

 

applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to him by the Corporation and/or the Employer; (2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Corporation (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization and any other authorization the Corporation and/or the broker designated by the Corporation may require the Participant to sign in connection with the sale of Shares); or (3) withholding Shares to be issued upon grant, vesting/settlement or exercise, as applicable. Calculation of the number of Shares to be withheld shall be made based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. In no event, however, shall the Corporation be required to issue fractional Shares. With respect to an Award other than an Option, if adequate arrangements to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items are not made by the Participant with the Corporation and/or the Employer prior to the relevant taxable event, the Corporation will satisfy such obligations as provided above in (3) of this paragraph.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Corporation may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Corporation or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Corporation or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Corporation may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Participant fails to comply with his obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

The Administrator shall be authorized to establish such rules, forms and procedures as it deems necessary to implement the foregoing.

7.     Successors .    The Award Agreements shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Corporation. “Participant” as used herein shall include the Participant’s Beneficiary.

8.     Delaware Law .    The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of all Award Agreements shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

CEO

 

9.     Nature of Grant .    In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges that:

(A)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Corporation, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Corporation at any time;

(B)    the grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Award grants, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(C)    all decisions with respect to future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation;

(D)    the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(E)    the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(F)    the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Corporation; and furthermore, the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Corporation;

(G)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(H)    if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Options will have no value;

(I)    in consideration of the grant of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award which results from termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employer or the Corporation or one of its Affiliates (for any reason whatsoever) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Corporation or its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the Award, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his entitlement to pursue such claim;

(J)    for purposes of an Award, the Participant’s employment relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee of the Corporation or one of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of the employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, the Participant’s right to receive Awards and vest in Awards under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; similarly, any right to exercise Options under the Plan after termination of employment will be measured as of the date the Participant is no longer a bona

 

15


CEO

 

fide employee of the Corporation or one of its Affiliates and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee;

(K)    the Corporation is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Corporation making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of Shares; and

(L)    Participant is hereby advised to consult with his own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

10.     Data Privacy .    By accepting the Award, the Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer and the Corporation and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Corporation and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited, his name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Other Share-Based Awards, or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). The Participant understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that if the Participant resides outside of the United States he may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that if the Participant resides outside of the United States, he may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, without cost, by contacting in writing the local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if he later seeks to revoke his consent, the Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing his consent is that the Corporation would not be able to grant him Awards or administer or maintain such Awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect his ability to participate

 

16


CEO

 

in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he may contact the local human resources representative.

11.     Severability .    The provisions in this Statement of Terms and Conditions are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

12.     Language .    If the Participant has received this Statement of Terms and Conditions or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

13.     Electronic Delivery .    The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Corporation or a third party designated by the Corporation.

14.     Employment Agreement .    Notwithstanding any provision contained in these Statement of Terms and Conditions, the Plan or the Grant Notice to the contrary, if there is a conflict between Statement of Terms and Conditions, the Plan or the Grant Notice and the employment agreement by and between the Participant and the Corporation, as amended from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”), then the Employment Agreement shall govern.

No Option may be exercised for less than 5% of the total number of Shares then available for exercise under such Option. In no event shall the Corporation be required to issue fractional Shares.

5.     Limits on Option Period and Acceleration of Vesting .    The Option Period may end before the Termination Date, and in the circumstances described in Sections II.5(B), (D), (E) and (F), the vesting schedule of an Option may be accelerated, (subject to the provisions of Section V), as follows:

(A)    If a Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or of its Affiliates during the Option Period for reasons other than for Cause, Long-Term Disability, Normal Retirement, Early Retirement or death, the Option Period shall end ninety days after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first, and in all cases the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable under the provisions of the foregoing Section II.4 at the time of such termination of employment. If a Participant is absent from work with the Corporation or an Affiliate because of his or her Short-Term Disability or because the Participant is on an approved leave of absence, the Participant shall not be deemed during the period of any such absence, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly determine.

The Option Period for any Option that continues to vest pursuant to this subsection (B) shall end ninety days after the last Option installment vests, or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first.

(C)    If the Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Option Period, the Option Period shall end on the date of such termination of employment and the Option shall thereupon not be exercisable to any extent whatsoever.

foregoing Section II.4 at the time of such retirement; provided, however, that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances), either (A) accelerate the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option effective as of the date of the Participant’s Normal Retirement or Early Retirement or (B) approve the continuation of the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option.

(ii)    With respect to an Option held by a Participant at Normal Retirement or Early Retirement, the Option Period for that portion of the Option designated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall end three years after the date of such retirement or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that in the case of an Option held by a Participant at Normal Retirement or Early Retirement as to which the Administrator exercises its discretionary authority to approve the continuation of the vesting schedule, the Option Period shall end on the earlier of the Termination Date or three years after the last Option installment vests.

(F)    If a Participant should die while in the employ of the Corporation or an Affiliate and during the Option Period, the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option shall be accelerated and the Option shall become fully exercisable, the Option Period shall end three years after the date of death or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first, and the Participant’s Beneficiary may exercise the entire unexercised portion of the then exercisable Shares covered by such Option (or any lesser amount) remaining on the date of death.

(G)    If a Participant who ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate is subsequently rehired prior to the expiration of his or her Option, then the Option shall continue to remain outstanding until such time as the Participant subsequently terminates employment. Upon the Participant’s subsequent termination of employment, the post-termination exercise period calculated pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section II.5 shall be reduced by the number of days between the date of the Participant’s initial termination of employment and his or her re-hire date; provided, however, that if the rehired Participant continues to be employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate for at least one year from his or her rehire date, then the post termination exercise period for the Option shall be determined in accordance with Sections II.5(A) through (F) and shall not be adjusted as described in this Section II.5(G).

6.     Method of Exercise .    A Participant may exercise an Option with respect to all or any part of the exercisable Shares as follows:

(A)    By giving the Corporation, or its authorized representative designated for this purpose, written notice of such exercise specifying the number of Shares as to which the Option is so exercised. Such notice shall be accompanied by an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares exercised, in the form of any one or combination of the following: cash or a certified check, bank draft, postal or express money order payable to the order of the Corporation in lawful money of the United States. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in his or her sole discretion, the Participant may pay the Exercise Price, in whole or in part, by tendering to the Corporation or its authorized representative Shares, which have been owned by the Participant for at least six months prior to said tender, and having a fair market value, as determined by the Corporation, equal to the Exercise Price, or in lieu of the

delivery of actual Shares in such tender, the Corporation may accept an attestation by the Participant, in a form prescribed by the Corporation or its authorized representative, that the Participant owns sufficient Shares of record or in an account in street name to satisfy the Exercise Price, and such attestation will be deemed a tender of Shares for purposes of this method of exercise. The Corporation or its authorized representative may accept payment of the amount due upon the exercise of the Option in the form of a Participant’s personal check. Payment may also be made by delivery (including by FAX transmission) to the Corporation or its authorized representative of an executed irrevocable Option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to an approved registered investment broker to sell Shares in an amount sufficient to pay the Exercise Price plus any applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section VII.6) and to transfer the proceeds of such sale to the Corporation.

(B)    If required by the Corporation, by giving satisfactory assurance in writing, signed by the Participant, the Participant shall give his or her assurance that the Shares subject to the Option are being purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof; provided that such assurance shall be deemed inapplicable to (1) any sale of the Shares by such Participant made in accordance with the terms of a registration statement covering such sale, which has heretofore been (or may hereafter be) filed and become effective under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and with respect to which no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued, and (2) any other sale of the Shares with respect to which, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, such assurance is not required to be given in order to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act.

(C)    As soon as practicable after receipt of the notice and the assurance described in Sections II.6(A) and (B), the Corporation shall, without transfer or issue tax (except for withholding tax arrangements contemplated in Section VII.6) and without other incidental expense to the Participant, credit the purchased Shares to the Participant’s brokerage account of record. If the Participant does not have a brokerage account of record, then the Corporation shall cause an appropriate book entry to be entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent recording the Participant’s unrestricted interest in the purchased Shares; provided, however, that the time of such delivery may be postponed by the Corporation for such period as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply with applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable listing requirements of any national securities exchange and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Shares.

7.     Limitations on Transfer .    An Option shall, during a Participant’s lifetime, be exercisable only by the Participant. No Option or any right granted thereunder shall be transferable by the Participant by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Participant may designate a beneficiary to succeed, after the Participant’s death, to all of the Participant’s Options outstanding on the date of death; (ii) a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be transferable pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act; and (iii) any Participant, who is a senior executive officer recommended by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and approved by the Administrator may voluntarily transfer any Nonstatutory Stock Option to a Family Member as a gift or through a transfer to an entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned

by Family Members (or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in that entity. In the event of any attempt by a Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of an Option or of any right thereunder, except as provided herein, or in the event of the levy of any attachment, execution, or similar process upon the rights or interest hereby conferred, the Corporation at its election may terminate the affected Option by notice to the Participant and the Option shall thereupon become null and void.

8.     No Stockholder Rights .    Neither a Participant nor any person entitled to exercise a Participant’s rights in the event of the Participant’s death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option except to the extent that a book entry has been entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent with respect to such Shares upon the exercise of an Option.

 

III.

RESTRICTED STOCK

1.     Restricted Stock Agreement .    A Restricted Stock Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement to be executed by the Participant and the Corporation setting forth the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award. Each Restricted Stock Grant Notice shall incorporate by reference and be subject to this Statement of Terms and Conditions, including the special terms and conditions in the Appendix for the Participant’s country (if any) which forms part of this Statement of Terms and Conditions, and together both documents shall constitute the Restricted Stock Agreement. The Restricted Stock Award is also subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

2.     Rights with Respect to Shares of Restricted Stock .    Upon written acceptance of a grant of Restricted Stock Award by a Participant, including the restrictions and other terms and conditions described in the Plan and the Restricted Stock Agreement, the Corporation shall cause an appropriate book entry to be entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent recording the Participant’s interest in the Restricted Stock.

3.     Special Restrictions .    Each Restricted Stock Award made under the Plan shall contain the following terms, conditions and restrictions and such additional terms, conditions and restrictions as may be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that no Restricted Stock grant shall be subject to additional terms, conditions and restrictions which are more favorable to a Participant than the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth elsewhere in the Plan or the Restricted Stock Agreement.

(A)     Restrictions .    Until the restrictions imposed on any Restricted Stock grant shall lapse (the “Restriction Period”), Shares of Restricted Stock granted to a Participant: (i) shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of, other than pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act and (ii) shall, if the Participant’s continuous employment with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates shall terminate for any reason (except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in Section III.3(B)) be returned to the

Corporation forthwith, and all the rights of the Participant to such Shares shall immediately terminate. If a Participant is absent from work with the Corporation or an Affiliate because of his or her Short-Term Disability or because the Participant is on an approved leave of absence, the Participant shall not be deemed during the period of any such absence, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly determine.

(B)     Termination of Employment by Reason of Death, Long-Term Disability or Normal Retirement . Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in the Plan or the Restricted Stock Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant who has been in the continuous employment of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates since the Grant Date of a Restricted Stock Award ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate as a result of:

(i)    Death or Long-Term Disability, then the restrictions imposed on any Restricted Stock Award shall lapse as to all Shares granted to such Participant pursuant to such Restricted Stock Award on the date of such termination; or

(ii)    Normal Retirement, then, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, with respect to any time-based Restricted Stock Award then held by such Participant as to which restrictions have not lapsed, the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Award shall lapse on the effective date of such Normal Retirement as to that whole number of Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole Share, equal to (a) the total number of Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole calendar months, rounded down to the nearest whole month, during which the Participant provided Service to the Corporation during the entire vesting period applicable to such Award, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar months in such entire vesting period, minus (c) the number of Shares originally subject to such Restricted Stock Award with respect to which restrictions shall have lapsed as of the effective date of such Normal Retirement; provided, that for purposes of clause (b) above, “whole calendar months” shall be calculated commencing on the applicable Grant Date; and provided further, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Statement of Terms and Conditions, this Section III.3(B)(ii) shall not apply to any Restricted Stock Award the vesting of which is based, in whole or in part, on attainment of performance objectives.

(C)     Termination of Employment by Reason of Early Retirement .    Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in the Plan or the Restricted Stock Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant who has been in the continuous employment of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates since the Grant Date of a Restricted Stock Award ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate by reason of Early Retirement, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances), accelerate the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Award effective as of the date of the Participant’s Early Retirement.

4.     Dividends .    Cash dividends paid with respect to the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period shall be paid directly to the Participant during the Restriction Period. Stock dividends paid with respect to Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period shall be treated as Restricted Stock which shall be subject to the same restrictions as the original award for the duration of the Restricted Period.

5.     Election to Recognize Gross Income in the Year of Grant .    If any Participant validly elects within thirty days of the Grant Date, to include in gross income for federal income tax purposes an amount equal to the fair market value of the Shares of Restricted Stock granted on the Grant Date, such Participant shall (at the same time or prior to the date that the Participant files his or her election with the Internal Revenue Service): (A) pay to the Corporation, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator to pay to the Corporation in the year of such grant, any federal, state or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Shares in accordance with Section VII.6, and (B) provide the Administrator with a copy of the election filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

6.     Restrictive Legend .    Each book entry in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent evidencing Shares granted pursuant to a Restricted Stock grant may bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions described in the Plan and/or the Restricted Stock Agreement.

7.     Expiration of Restricted Period .    If and when the Restriction Period applicable to the Restricted Stock expires without a prior forfeiture, Shares shall be credited to the Participant’s brokerage account of record. If the Participant does not have a brokerage account of record, then an appropriate book entry recording the Participant’s interest in the unrestricted Shares shall be entered on the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES

1.     Award Agreement .

(A)    Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to be executed by the Participant and the Corporation setting forth the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units.

(A)     Restrictions .    If a Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or any Affiliate (except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in Section IV.2(B)) prior to the lapse of the restrictions imposed on the Award, the unvested Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares shall be returned to the Corporation, and all the rights of the Participant to such Share Equivalents shall immediately terminate. If a Participant is absent from work with the Corporation or an Affiliate because of his or her Short-Term Disability or because the Participant is on an approved leave of absence, the Participant shall not be deemed during the period of any such absence, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly determine.

Cash dividends shall be credited on behalf of the Participant to a deferred cash account (in a manner designed to comply with Code Section 409A) and the restrictions on such cash dividends shall lapse at the same time that the restrictions lapse on the associated Share Equivalents underlying the Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares (as applicable), and cash dividends, along with accrued interest (if any) on such cash dividends, shall be paid in a lump sum at the same time that the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Share Award, and to which the cash dividends relate, are distributed. Stock dividends shall be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, which will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the underlying Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, including the same vesting restrictions as the underlying Award.

4.     Assignability .    A Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or encumber Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, other than pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

Stock Units and Performance Shares that were not forfeited pursuant to Section IV.2(A) or V shall be paid to the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the restrictions lapse. Payment shall be made in Shares to the Participant’s brokerage account of record.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant becomes eligible for Normal Retirement prior to the date of the lapse of restriction imposed on the Restricted Stock Units is scheduled to occur, then such Restricted Stock Units shall be paid to the Participant in full at the earlier of the date in which the Participant has a Separation from Service, subject to the delay of payment (if applicable) provided in Section VI.2, or the fixed date in which the lapse of restricted was originally scheduled to occur. The procedures set forth in Section VII.6 will be applied for any taxes due upon the lapse of restriction imposed on the Restricted Stock Units due to a Participant’s Normal Retirement eligibility.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

1.    If as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Stock ceases to be listed for trading on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange”), any Option, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units, or Performance Shares that are unvested on the effective date of the Change in Control shall continue to vest according to the terms and conditions of such Award, provided that such Award is replaced with an award for voting securities of the resulting corporation or the acquiring corporation, as the case may be, (including without limitation, the voting securities of any corporation which as a result of the Change in Control owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (the “Surviving Company”) which are traded on an Exchange (a “Replacement Award”), which Replacement Award, (i) in the case of Options, shall consist of options with the number of underlying shares and exercise price determined in a manner consistent with Code Section 424(a) with vesting and any other terms continuing in the same manner as the replaced Options; (ii) in the case of Performance Shares, shall consist of restricted stock or restricted stock units with a value (determined using the Surviving Company’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control) equal to the value of the Performance Shares (determined using the Corporation’s stock price and assuming attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater, as of the effective date of the Change in Control), with any restrictions on such restricted stock or restricted stock units lapsing at the end of the measuring period over which performance for the replaced Performance Shares was to be measured prior to the granting of the Replacement Award; and (iii) in the case of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, shall consist of restricted stock or restricted stock units with a value (determined using the Surviving Company’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control) equal to the value of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (determined using the Corporation’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control), with any restrictions on such restricted stock or restricted stock units lapsing at the same time and manner as the replaced Award; provided, however, that in the event of the Participant’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Corporation without Cause or Separation from Service by the Participant for Good Reason during the vesting period of any Replacement Award, the Replacement Award shall immediately vest and be paid within seven days of such Separation from Service; and provided further that upon the vesting date of each Replacement Award, in addition to the fully vested Replacement Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment (paid at the same time as the Award) equal to the decrease, if any, in the value of a share of the Surviving Company’s stock from the effective date of the Change in Control (as increased on a calendar quarterly basis using an annual interest rate, as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, for zero-coupon U.S. government securities with a constant maturity closest in length to the time period between the effective date of the Change in Control and the date of the vesting of the Replacement Award) to the time of vesting, multiplied by the total number of shares or share equivalents subject to the options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units in the Replacement Award. If Options, Restricted Stock Awards,

 

12


Officers

 

Restricted Stock Units, or Performance Shares that are unvested at the effective time of the Change in Control are not replaced with Replacement Awards, such Awards shall immediately vest and, in the case of Performance Shares, shall vest based upon deemed attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater.

If as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Stock continues to be listed for trading on an Exchange, any unvested Option, Restricted Stock Award, or Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest according to the terms and conditions of such Award and any Performance Shares shall be replaced with Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units where the number of such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be equal to the number of Performance Shares assuming attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater, as of the effective date of the Change in Control with any restrictions on such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units lapsing at the end of the measuring period over which performance for the replaced Performance Shares was to be measured prior to the granting of the replacement Award; provided however, that, in the event of the Participant’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Corporation without Cause or Separation from Service by the Participant for Good Reason during the vesting period of an Award, such Award shall immediately vest and be paid within seven days of such Separation from Service; and provided further that upon the vesting date of each Award, in addition to the fully vested Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment (paid at the same time as the Award) equal to the decrease, if any, in the value of a Share of the Corporation’s stock from the effective date of the Change in Control (as increased on a calendar quarterly basis using an annual interest rate, as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, for zero-coupon U.S. government securities with a constant maturity closest in length to the time period between the effective date of the Change in Control and the date of the vesting of the award) to the time of vesting, multiplied by the total number of Shares or Share Equivalents subject to the Options, Restricted Stock, or Restricted Stock Units.

2.    If (i) The Participant is a Specified Employee at the time of his Separation from Service, and (ii) some or any portion of the amounts payable to the Participant, if any, when considered together with any other payments or benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) and subject to the plan aggregation rules under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(c)(3)(viii) (together, the “Deferred Compensation Benefits”) would result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Participant on or within the six (6) month period following the Separation from Service, then to the extent such portion of the Deferred Compensation Benefits resulting in the imposition of additional tax would otherwise have been payable on or within the first six (6) months following the Separation from Service, it will instead become payable on the first payroll date that occurs in the seventh month following the Separation from Service (or such longer period as is required to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A). All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.

VII. MISCELLANEOUS

1.     No Effect on Terms of Employment .    Participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) and shall not

 

13


Officers

 

interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate, with or without cause, or change the terms of employment of a Participant at any time.

2.     Grants to Participants in Foreign Countries .    In making grants to Participants in foreign countries, the Administrator has the full discretion to deviate from this Statement of Terms and Conditions in order to adjust grants under the Plan to prevailing local conditions, including custom and legal and tax requirements. Furthermore, the Corporation reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan on the Award and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertaking that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

3.     Information Notification .    Any information required to be given under the terms of an Award shall be addressed to the Corporation in care of its Corporate Secretary at McKesson Corporation, One Post Street, 35 th Floor, San Francisco, California 94104, and any notice to be given to a Participant shall be addressed to him at the address indicated beneath his or her name on the Award Agreement or such other address as either party may designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified and deposited (postage or registration or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office.

4.     Administrator Decisions Conclusive .    All decisions of the Administrator administering the Plan upon any questions arising under the Plan or under an Award Agreement, shall be conclusive.

5.     No Effect on Other Benefit Plans .    Nothing herein contained shall affect a Participant’s right to participate in and receive benefits from and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pensions, insurance or other employment welfare plan or program offered by the Corporation.

6.     Withholding .    Regardless of any action the Corporation or the Employer takes with respect to any federal, state or local income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Award, as applicable, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employer (or former employer, as

 

14


Officers

 

applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to him or her by the Corporation and/or the Employer; (2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Corporation (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization and any other authorization the Corporation and/or the broker designated by the Corporation may require the Participant to sign in connection with the sale of Shares); or (3) withholding Shares to be issued upon grant, vesting/settlement or exercise, as applicable. Calculation of the number of Shares to be withheld shall be made based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. In no event, however, shall the Corporation be required to issue fractional Shares. With respect to an Award other than an Option, if adequate arrangements to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items are not made by the Participant with the Corporation and/or the Employer prior to the relevant taxable event, the Corporation will satisfy such obligations as provided above in (3) of this paragraph.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Corporation may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Corporation or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Corporation or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Corporation may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

The Administrator shall be authorized to establish such rules, forms and procedures as it deems necessary to implement the foregoing.

7.     Successors .    The Award Agreements shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Corporation. “Participant” as used herein shall include the Participant’s Beneficiary.

8.     Delaware Law .    The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of all Award Agreements shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

9.     Nature of Grant .    In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges that:

(A)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Corporation, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Corporation at any time;

(B)    the grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Award grants, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(C)    all decisions with respect to future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation;

(D)    the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(E)    the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(F)    the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Corporation; and furthermore, the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Corporation;

(G)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(H)    if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Options will have no value;

(I)    in consideration of the grant of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award which results from termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employer or the Corporation or one of its Affiliates (for any reason whatsoever) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Corporation or its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the Award, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim;

(J)    for purposes of an Award, the Participant’s employment relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee of the Corporation or one of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of the employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, the Participant’s right to receive Awards and vest in Awards under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; similarly, any right to exercise Options under the Plan after

 

16


Officers

 

termination of employment will be measured as of the date the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee of the Corporation or one of its Affiliates and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee;

(K)    the Corporation is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Corporation making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of Shares; and

(L)    Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

10.     Data Privacy .    By accepting the Award, the Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer and the Corporation and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Corporation and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited, his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Other Share-Based Awards, or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). The Participant understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that if the Participant resides outside of the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that if the Participant resides outside of the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, without cost, by contacting in writing the local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if he or she later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing his or her consent is that the Corporation would not be able to grant him or her

 

17


Officers

 

Awards or administer or maintain such Awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact the local human resources representative.

11.     Severability .    The provisions in this Statement of Terms and Conditions are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

12.     Language .    If the Participant has received this Statement of Terms and Conditions or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

13.     Electronic Delivery .    The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.

II.

OPTIONS

1.     Option Agreement .    An Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the Option, including whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option and the number Shares subject to the Option. Each Stock Option Grant Notice shall incorporate by reference and be subject to this Statement of Terms and Conditions, including the special terms and conditions in the Appendix for the Participant’s country (if any) which forms part of this Statement of Terms and Conditions, and together both documents shall constitute the Option Agreement. The Option is also subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

2.     Exercise Price .    The Exercise Price of an Option, as specified in the Option Agreement, shall be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option on the Grant Date.

3.     Option Period .    An Option shall be exercisable only during the applicable Option Period, and during such Option Period the exercisability of the Option shall be subject to the vesting provisions of Section II.4 as modified by the rules set forth in Sections II.5 and V.

(B)    Any vested portion of an Option not exercised hereunder shall accumulate and be exercisable at any time on or before the Termination Date, subject to the rules set forth in Sections II.5 and V. No Option may be exercised for less than 5% of the total number of Shares then available for exercise under such Option. In no event shall the Corporation be required to issue fractional Shares.

5.     Limits on Option Period and Acceleration of Vesting .    The Option Period may end before the Termination Date, and in the circumstances described in Sections II.5(B), (D), (E) and (F), the vesting schedule of an Option may be accelerated, (subject to the provisions of Section V), as follows:

(A)    If a Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or of its Affiliates during the Option Period for reasons other than for Cause, Long-Term Disability, Normal Retirement, Early Retirement or death, the Option Period shall end ninety days after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first, and in all cases the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable under the provisions of the foregoing Section II.4 at the time of such termination of employment. If a Participant is absent from work with the Corporation or an Affiliate because of his or her Short-Term Disability or because the Participant is on an approved leave of absence, the Participant shall not be deemed during the period of any such absence, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly determine.

(B)    If a Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or of its Affiliates (for reasons other than for Cause, Long-Term Disability, Normal Retirement, Early Retirement or death) during the Option Period, the Administrator may, in its sole and absolute discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances) approve the continuation of the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option. The Option Period for any Option that continues to vest pursuant to this subsection (B) shall end ninety days after the last Option installment vests, or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first.

(C)    If the Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Option Period, the Option Period shall end on the date of such termination of employment and the Option shall thereupon not be exercisable to any extent whatsoever.

(D)    If a Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or of its Affiliates due to his or her Long-Term Disability during the Option Period, the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option shall be accelerated, the Option shall become fully exercisable and the Option Period shall end three years after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first.

(E)    If the Participant’s employment is terminated:

(i)    By reason of Normal Retirement or Early Retirement, the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable under the provisions of the

 

2


ECOT

 

foregoing Section II.4 at the time of such retirement; provided, however, that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances), either (A) accelerate the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option effective as of the date of the Participant’s Normal Retirement or Early Retirement or (B) approve the continuation of the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option.

(ii)    With respect to an Option held by a Participant at Normal Retirement or Early Retirement, the Option Period for that portion of the Option designated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall end three years after the date of such retirement or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that in the case of an Option held by a Participant at Normal Retirement or Early Retirement as to which the Administrator exercises its discretionary authority to approve the continuation of the vesting schedule, the Option Period shall end on the earlier of the Termination Date or three years after the last Option installment vests.

(F)    If a Participant should die while in the employ of the Corporation or an Affiliate and during the Option Period, the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option shall be accelerated and the Option shall become fully exercisable, the Option Period shall end three years after the date of death or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first, and the Participant’s Beneficiary may exercise the entire unexercised portion of the then exercisable Shares covered by such Option (or any lesser amount) remaining on the date of death.

(G)    If a Participant who ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate is subsequently rehired prior to the expiration of his or her Option, then the Option shall continue to remain outstanding until such time as the Participant subsequently terminates employment. Upon the Participant’s subsequent termination of employment, the post-termination exercise period calculated pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section II.5 shall be reduced by the number of days between the date of the Participant’s initial termination of employment and his or her re-hire date; provided, however, that if the rehired Participant continues to be employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate for at least one year from his or her rehire date, then the post termination exercise period for the Option shall be determined in accordance with Sections II.5(A) through (F) and shall not be adjusted as described in this Section II.5(G).

6.     Method of Exercise .    A Participant may exercise an Option with respect to all or any part of the exercisable Shares as follows:

(A)    By giving the Corporation, or its authorized representative designated for this purpose, written notice of such exercise specifying the number of Shares as to which the Option is so exercised. Such notice shall be accompanied by an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares exercised, in the form of any one or combination of the following: cash or a certified check, bank draft, postal or express money order payable to the order of the Corporation in lawful money of the United States. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in his or her sole discretion, the Participant may pay the Exercise Price, in whole or in part, by tendering to the Corporation or its authorized representative Shares, which have been owned by the Participant for at least six months prior to said tender, and having a fair market value, as determined by the Corporation, equal to the Exercise Price, or in lieu of the

 

3


ECOT

 

delivery of actual Shares in such tender, the Corporation may accept an attestation by the Participant, in a form prescribed by the Corporation or its authorized representative, that the Participant owns sufficient Shares of record or in an account in street name to satisfy the Exercise Price, and such attestation will be deemed a tender of Shares for purposes of this method of exercise. The Corporation or its authorized representative may accept payment of the amount due upon the exercise of the Option in the form of a Participant’s personal check. Payment may also be made by delivery (including by FAX transmission) to the Corporation or its authorized representative of an executed irrevocable Option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to an approved registered investment broker to sell Shares in an amount sufficient to pay the Exercise Price plus any applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section VII.6) and to transfer the proceeds of such sale to the Corporation.

(B)    If required by the Corporation, by giving satisfactory assurance in writing, signed by the Participant, the Participant shall give his or her assurance that the Shares subject to the Option are being purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof; provided that such assurance shall be deemed inapplicable to (1) any sale of the Shares by such Participant made in accordance with the terms of a registration statement covering such sale, which has heretofore been (or may hereafter be) filed and become effective under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and with respect to which no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued, and (2) any other sale of the Shares with respect to which, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, such assurance is not required to be given in order to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act.

(C)    As soon as practicable after receipt of the notice and the assurance described in Sections II.6(A) and (B), the Corporation shall, without transfer or issue tax (except for withholding tax arrangements contemplated in Section VII.6) and without other incidental expense to the Participant, credit the purchased Shares to the Participant’s brokerage account of record. If the Participant does not have a brokerage account of record, then the Corporation shall cause an appropriate book entry to be entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent recording the Participant’s unrestricted interest in the purchased Shares; provided, however, that the time of such delivery may be postponed by the Corporation for such period as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply with applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable listing requirements of any national securities exchange and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Shares.

7.     Limitations on Transfer .    An Option shall, during a Participant’s lifetime, be exercisable only by the Participant. No Option or any right granted thereunder shall be transferable by the Participant by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Participant may designate a beneficiary to succeed, after the Participant’s death, to all of the Participant’s Options outstanding on the date of death; (ii) a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be transferable pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act; and (iii) any Participant, who is a senior executive officer recommended by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and approved by the Administrator may voluntarily transfer any Nonstatutory Stock Option to a Family Member as a gift or through a transfer to an entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned

 

4


ECOT

 

by Family Members (or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in that entity. In the event of any attempt by a Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of an Option or of any right thereunder, except as provided herein, or in the event of the levy of any attachment, execution, or similar process upon the rights or interest hereby conferred, the Corporation at its election may terminate the affected Option by notice to the Participant and the Option shall thereupon become null and void.

8.     No Stockholder Rights .    Neither a Participant nor any person entitled to exercise a Participant’s rights in the event of the Participant’s death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option except to the extent that a book entry has been entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent with respect to such Shares upon the exercise of an Option.

 

III.

RESTRICTED STOCK

1.     Restricted Stock Agreement .    A Restricted Stock Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement to be executed by the Participant and the Corporation setting forth the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award. Each Restricted Stock Grant Notice shall incorporate by reference and be subject to this Statement of Terms and Conditions, including the special terms and conditions in the Appendix for the Participant’s country (if any) which forms part of this Statement of Terms and Conditions, and together both documents shall constitute the Restricted Stock Agreement. The Restricted Stock Award is also subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

2.     Rights with Respect to Shares of Restricted Stock .    Upon written acceptance of a grant of Restricted Stock Award by a Participant, including the restrictions and other terms and conditions described in the Plan and the Restricted Stock Agreement, the Corporation shall cause an appropriate book entry to be entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent recording the Participant’s interest in the Restricted Stock. From and after the Grant Date, the Participant shall have the rights of Common Stock ownership, including the right to vote and to receive dividends on Shares of Restricted Stock, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions described in the Plan and the Restricted Stock Agreement.

3.     Special Restrictions .    Each Restricted Stock Award made under the Plan shall contain the following terms, conditions and restrictions and such additional terms, conditions and restrictions as may be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that no Restricted Stock grant shall be subject to additional terms, conditions and restrictions which are more favorable to a Participant than the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth elsewhere in the Plan or the Restricted Stock Agreement.

(A)     Restrictions .    Until the restrictions imposed on any Restricted Stock grant shall lapse (the “Restriction Period”), Shares of Restricted Stock granted to a Participant: (i) shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of, other than pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act and (ii) shall, if the Participant’s continuous employment with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates shall terminate for any reason (except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in Section III.3(B)) be returned to the

 

5


ECOT

 

Corporation forthwith, and all the rights of the Participant to such Shares shall immediately terminate. If a Participant is absent from work with the Corporation or an Affiliate because of his or her Short-Term Disability or because the Participant is on an approved leave of absence, the Participant shall not be deemed during the period of any such absence, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly determine.

(B)     Termination of Employment by Reason of Death, Long-Term Disability or Normal Retirement . Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in the Plan or the Restricted Stock Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant who has been in the continuous employment of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates since the Grant Date of a Restricted Stock Award ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate as a result of:

(i)    Death or Long-Term Disability, then the restrictions imposed on any Restricted Stock Award shall lapse as to all Shares granted to such Participant pursuant to such Restricted Stock Award on the date of such termination; or

(ii)    Normal Retirement, then, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, with respect to any time-based Restricted Stock Award then held by such Participant as to which restrictions have not lapsed, the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Award shall lapse on the effective date of such Normal Retirement as to that whole number of Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole Share, equal to (a) the total number of Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole calendar months, rounded down to the nearest whole month, during which the Participant provided Service to the Corporation during the entire vesting period applicable to such Award, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar months in such entire vesting period, minus (c) the number of Shares originally subject to such Restricted Stock Award with respect to which restrictions shall have lapsed as of the effective date of such Normal Retirement; provided, that for purposes of clause (b) above, “whole calendar months” shall be calculated commencing on the applicable Grant Date; and provided further, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Statement of Terms and Conditions, this Section III.3(B)(ii) shall not apply to any Restricted Stock Award the vesting of which is based, in whole or in part, on attainment of performance objectives.

(C)     Termination of Employment by Reason of Early Retirement .    Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in the Plan or the Restricted Stock Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant who has been in the continuous employment of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates since the Grant Date of a Restricted Stock Award ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate by reason of Early Retirement, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances), accelerate the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Award effective as of the date of the Participant’s Early Retirement.

(D)     Restriction on Sale .    The Compensation Committee reserves the right to impose a restriction on the sale of Shares that the Participant receives upon the vesting and

5.     Election to Recognize Gross Income in the Year of Grant .    If any Participant validly elects within thirty days of the Grant Date, to include in gross income for federal income tax purposes an amount equal to the fair market value of the Shares of Restricted Stock granted on the Grant Date, such Participant shall (at the same time or prior to the date that the Participant files his or her election with the Internal Revenue Service): (A) pay to the Corporation, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator to pay to the Corporation in the year of such grant, any federal, state or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Shares in accordance with Section VII.6, and (B) provide the Administrator with a copy of the election filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

If the Participant does not have a brokerage account of record, then an appropriate book entry recording the Participant’s interest in the unrestricted Shares shall be entered on the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent.

 

IV.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES

(A)    Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to be executed by the Participant and the Corporation setting forth the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice shall incorporate by reference and be subject to this Statement of Terms and Conditions, including the special terms and conditions in the Appendix for the Participant’s country (if any) which forms part of this Statement of Terms and Conditions, and together both documents shall constitute the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

ECOT

 

which forms part of this Statement of Terms and Conditions, and together both documents shall constitute the Performance Share Agreement. Performance Shares are also subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

2.     Special Restrictions .    Restricted Stock Units and Performance Shares granted under the Plan shall contain the following terms, conditions and restrictions and such additional terms, conditions and restrictions as may be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that no such Award shall be subject to additional terms, conditions and restrictions which are more favorable to a Participant than the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth elsewhere in the Plan, the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or Performance Share Agreement.

(A)     Restrictions .    If a Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or any Affiliate (except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in Section IV.2(B)) prior to the lapse of the restrictions imposed on the Award, the unvested Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares shall be returned to the Corporation, and all the rights of the Participant to such Share Equivalents shall immediately terminate. If a Participant is absent from work with the Corporation or an Affiliate because of his or her Short-Term Disability or because the Participant is on an approved leave of absence, the Participant shall not be deemed during the period of any such absence, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly determine.

(B)     Termination of Employment by Reason of Death, Long-Term Disability or Normal Retirement . Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in the Plan, the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or Performance Share Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant who has been in the continuous employment of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates since the Grant Date of such Award ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate as a result of:

(i)    Death or Long-Term Disability, then the restrictions imposed on any Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares shall lapse as to all Share Equivalents granted to such Participant pursuant to such Award on the date of such termination; or

(ii)    Normal Retirement, then, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, with respect to any time-based Restricted Stock Units then held by such Participant as to which restrictions have not lapsed, the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Units shall lapse on the effective date of such Normal Retirement as to that whole number of Share Equivalents, rounded down to the nearest whole Share Equivalent, equal to (a) the total number of Restricted Stock Units subject to such Award, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole calendar months, rounded down to the nearest whole month, during which the Participant provided Service to the Corporation during the entire vesting period applicable to such Award, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar months in such entire vesting period, minus (c) the number of Restricted Stock Units originally subject to such Award with respect to which restrictions shall have lapsed as of the effective date of such Normal Retirement; provided, that for purposes of clause (b) above, “whole calendar months” shall be calculated commencing on the applicable Grant Date; and provided further, that

ECOT

 

notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Statement of Terms and Conditions, this Section IV.2(B)(ii) shall not apply to any Performance Shares or to any Restricted Stock Units the vesting of which is based, in whole or in part, on attainment of performance objectives.

(C)     Termination of Employment by Reason of Early Retirement .    Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in the Plan or the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or Performance Share Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant who has been in continuous employment of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates since the Grant Date of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate by reason of Early Retirement, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances), accelerate the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares effective as of the date of the Participant’s Early Retirement.

(D)     Restriction on Sale .    The Compensation Committee reserves the right to impose a restriction on the sale of Shares that the Participant receives upon the settlement of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, unless the Participant has satisfied the ownership targets applicable to the Participant as provided in the Stock Ownership Policy.

3.     Dividend Equivalents .    Subject to discretion of the Compensation Committee, dividend equivalents shall be credited in respect of Restricted Stock Units and Performance Shares. Cash dividends shall be credited on behalf of the Participant to a deferred cash account (in a manner designed to comply with Code Section 409A) and the restrictions on such cash dividends shall lapse at the same time that the restrictions lapse on the associated Share Equivalents underlying the Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares (as applicable), and cash dividends, along with accrued interest (if any) on such cash dividends, shall be paid in a lump sum at the same time that the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Share Award, and to which the cash dividends relate, are distributed. Stock dividends shall be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, which will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the underlying Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, including the same vesting restrictions as the underlying Award.

4.     Assignability .    A Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or encumber Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, other than pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

5.     No Stockholder Rights .    Neither a Participant nor any person entitled to exercise a Participant’s rights in the event of the Participant’s death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Share Equivalents subject to Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares except to the extent that a book entry has been entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent with respect to such Shares upon the settlement of any vested Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares.

6.     Time of Payment of Restricted Stock Units and Performance Shares .    Upon the lapse of the restriction imposed on Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares, all Restricted

 

9


ECOT

 

Stock Units and Performance Shares that were not forfeited pursuant to Section IV.2(A) or V shall be paid to the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the restrictions lapse. Payment shall be made in Shares to the Participant’s brokerage account of record. If the Participant does not have a brokerage account of record, then in the form of an appropriate book entry entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent recording the Participant’s unrestricted interest in the number of Shares equal to the number of vested Share Equivalents subject to the Restricted Stock Units or Performance Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant becomes eligible for Normal Retirement prior to the date of the lapse of restriction imposed on the Restricted Stock Units is scheduled to occur, then such Restricted Stock Units shall be paid to the Participant in full at the earlier of the date in which the Participant has a Separation from Service, subject to the delay of payment (if applicable) provided in Section VI.2, or the fixed date in which the lapse of restricted was originally scheduled to occur. The procedures set forth in Section VII.6 will be applied for any taxes due upon the lapse of restriction imposed on the Restricted Stock Units due to a Participant’s Normal Retirement eligibility.

 

V.

SPECIAL FORFEITURE AND REPAYMENT RULES

Any other provision of this Statement of Terms and Conditions to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Administrator determines that a Participant has engaged in any of the actions described in 3 below, the consequences set forth in 1 and 2 below shall result:

(C)    Fails to provide the Corporation with at least thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to directly or indirectly engaging in, becoming employed by, or rendering services, advice or assistance to any business in competition with the Corporation or its Affiliates.

ECOT

 

Any provision of this Section V which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable should be construed or limited in a manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the business objectives intended by such invalid or unenforceable provision, without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions of this Section V.

 

VI.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

1.    If as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Stock ceases to be listed for trading on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange”), any Option, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units, or Performance Shares that are unvested on the effective date of the Change in Control shall continue to vest according to the terms and conditions of such Award, provided that such Award is replaced with an award for voting securities of the resulting corporation or the acquiring corporation, as the case may be, (including without limitation, the voting securities of any corporation which as a result of the Change in Control owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (the “Surviving Company”) which are traded on an Exchange (a “Replacement Award”), which Replacement Award, (i) in the case of Options, shall consist of options with the number of underlying shares and exercise price determined in a manner consistent with Code Section 424(a) with vesting and any other terms continuing in the same manner as the replaced Options; (ii) in the case of Performance Shares, shall consist of restricted stock or restricted stock units with a value (determined using the Surviving Company’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control) equal to the value of the Performance Shares (determined using the Corporation’s stock price and assuming attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater, as of the effective date of the Change in Control), with any restrictions on such restricted stock or restricted stock units lapsing at the end of the measuring period over which performance for the replaced Performance Shares was to be measured prior to the granting of the Replacement Award; and (iii) in the case of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, shall consist of restricted stock or restricted stock units with a value (determined using the Surviving Company’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control) equal to the value of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (determined using the Corporation’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control), with any restrictions on such restricted stock or restricted stock units lapsing at the same time and manner as the replaced Award; provided, however, that in the event of the Participant’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Corporation without Cause or Separation from Service by the Participant for Good Reason during the vesting period of any Replacement Award, the Replacement Award shall immediately vest and be paid within seven days of such Separation from Service; and provided further that upon the vesting date of each Replacement Award, in addition to the fully vested Replacement Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment (paid at the same time as the Award) equal to the decrease, if any, in the value of a share of the Surviving Company’s stock from the effective date of the Change in Control (as increased on a calendar quarterly basis using an annual interest rate, as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, for zero-coupon U.S. government securities with a constant maturity closest in length to the time period between the effective date of the Change in Control and the date of the vesting of the Replacement Award) to the time of vesting, multiplied by the total number of shares or share equivalents subject to the options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units in the Replacement Award. If Options, Restricted Stock Awards,

 

12


ECOT

 

Restricted Stock Units, or Performance Shares that are unvested at the effective time of the Change in Control are not replaced with Replacement Awards, such Awards shall immediately vest and, in the case of Performance Shares, shall vest based upon deemed attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater.

If as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Stock continues to be listed for trading on an Exchange, any unvested Option, Restricted Stock Award, or Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest according to the terms and conditions of such Award and any Performance Shares shall be replaced with Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units where the number of such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be equal to the number of Performance Shares assuming attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater, as of the effective date of the Change in Control with any restrictions on such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units lapsing at the end of the measuring period over which performance for the replaced Performance Shares was to be measured prior to the granting of the replacement Award; provided however, that, in the event of the Participant’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Corporation without Cause or Separation from Service by the Participant for Good Reason during the vesting period of an Award, such Award shall immediately vest and be paid within seven days of such Separation from Service; and provided further that upon the vesting date of each Award, in addition to the fully vested Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment (paid at the same time as the Award) equal to the decrease, if any, in the value of a Share of the Corporation’s stock from the effective date of the Change in Control (as increased on a calendar quarterly basis using an annual interest rate, as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, for zero-coupon U.S. government securities with a constant maturity closest in length to the time period between the effective date of the Change in Control and the date of the vesting of the award) to the time of vesting, multiplied by the total number of Shares or Share Equivalents subject to the Options, Restricted Stock, or Restricted Stock Units.

2.    If (i) The Participant is a Specified Employee at the time of his Separation from Service, and (ii) some or any portion of the amounts payable to the Participant, if any, when considered together with any other payments or benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) and subject to the plan aggregation rules under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(c)(3)(viii) (together, the “Deferred Compensation Benefits”) would result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Participant on or within the six (6) month period following the Separation from Service, then to the extent such portion of the Deferred Compensation Benefits resulting in the imposition of additional tax would otherwise have been payable on or within the first six (6) months following the Separation from Service, it will instead become payable on the first payroll date that occurs in the seventh month following the Separation from Service (or such longer period as is required to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A). All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.

 

VII.

MISCELLANEOUS

1.     No Effect on Terms of Employment .    Participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) and shall not

 

13


ECOT

 

interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate, with or without cause, or change the terms of employment of a Participant at any time.

2.     Grants to Participants in Foreign Countries .    In making grants to Participants in foreign countries, the Administrator has the full discretion to deviate from this Statement of Terms and Conditions in order to adjust grants under the Plan to prevailing local conditions, including custom and legal and tax requirements. Furthermore, the Corporation reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan on the Award and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertaking that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

3.     Information Notification .    Any information required to be given under the terms of an Award shall be addressed to the Corporation in care of its Corporate Secretary at McKesson Corporation, One Post Street, 35 th Floor, San Francisco, California 94104, and any notice to be given to a Participant shall be addressed to him at the address indicated beneath his or her name on the Award Agreement or such other address as either party may designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified and deposited (postage or registration or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office.

4.     Administrator Decisions Conclusive .    All decisions of the Administrator administering the Plan upon any questions arising under the Plan or under an Award Agreement, shall be conclusive.

5.     No Effect on Other Benefit Plans .    Nothing herein contained shall affect a Participant’s right to participate in and receive benefits from and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pensions, insurance or other employment welfare plan or program offered by the Corporation.

6.     Withholding .    Regardless of any action the Corporation or the Employer takes with respect to any federal, state or local income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Award, as applicable, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employer (or former employer, as

 

14


ECOT

 

applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to him or her by the Corporation and/or the Employer; (2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Corporation (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization and any other authorization the Corporation and/or the broker designated by the Corporation may require the Participant to sign in connection with the sale of Shares); or (3) withholding Shares to be issued upon grant, vesting/settlement or exercise, as applicable. Calculation of the number of Shares to be withheld shall be made based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. In no event, however, shall the Corporation be required to issue fractional Shares. With respect to an Award other than an Option, if adequate arrangements to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items are not made by the Participant with the Corporation and/or the Employer prior to the relevant taxable event, the Corporation will satisfy such obligations as provided above in (3) of this paragraph.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Corporation may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Corporation or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Corporation or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Corporation may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

The Administrator shall be authorized to establish such rules, forms and procedures as it deems necessary to implement the foregoing.

7.     Successors .    The Award Agreements shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Corporation. “Participant” as used herein shall include the Participant’s Beneficiary.

8.     Delaware Law .    The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of all Award Agreements shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

15


ECOT

 

9.     Nature of Grant .    In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges that:

(A)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Corporation, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Corporation at any time;

(B)    the grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Award grants, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(C)    all decisions with respect to future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation;

(D)    the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(E)    the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(F)    the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Corporation; and furthermore, the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Corporation;

(G)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(H)    if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Options will have no value;

(I)    in consideration of the grant of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award which results from termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employer or the Corporation or one of its Affiliates (for any reason whatsoever) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Corporation or its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the Award, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim;

(J)    for purposes of an Award, the Participant’s employment relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee of the Corporation or one of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of the employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, the Participant’s right to receive Awards and vest in Awards under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; similarly, any right to exercise Options under the Plan after

 

16


ECOT

 

termination of employment will be measured as of the date the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee of the Corporation or one of its Affiliates and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee;

(K)    the Corporation is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Corporation making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of Shares; and

(L)    Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

10.     Data Privacy .    By accepting the Award, the Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer and the Corporation and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Corporation and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited, his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Other Share-Based Awards, or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). The Participant understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that if the Participant resides outside of the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that if the Participant resides outside of the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, without cost, by contacting in writing the local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if he or she later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing his or her consent is that the Corporation would not be able to grant him or her

 

17


ECOT

 

Awards or administer or maintain such Awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact the local human resources representative.

11.     Severability .    The provisions in this Statement of Terms and Conditions are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

12.     Language .    If the Participant has received this Statement of Terms and Conditions or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

13.     Electronic Delivery .    The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Corporation or a third party designated by the Corporation.

Each Stock Option Grant Notice shall incorporate by reference and be subject to this Statement of Terms and Conditions, including the special terms and conditions in the Appendix for the Participant’s country (if any) which forms part of this Statement of Terms and Conditions, and together both documents shall constitute the Option Agreement. The Option is also subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

2.     Exercise Price .    The Exercise Price of an Option, as specified in the Option Agreement, shall be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option on the Grant Date.

No Option may be exercised for less than 5% of the total number of Shares then available for exercise under such Option. In no event shall the Corporation be required to issue fractional Shares.

5.     Limits on Option Period and Acceleration of Vesting .    The Option Period may end before the Termination Date, and in the circumstances described in Sections II.5(B), (D), (E) and (F), the vesting schedule of an Option may be accelerated, (subject to the provisions of Section V), as follows:

(A)    If a Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or of its Affiliates during the Option Period for reasons other than for Cause, Long-Term Disability, Normal Retirement, Early Retirement or death, the Option Period shall end ninety days after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first, and in all cases the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable under the provisions of the foregoing Section II.4 at the time of such termination of employment. If a Participant is absent from work with the Corporation or an Affiliate because of his or her Short-Term Disability or because the Participant is on an approved leave of absence, the Participant shall not be deemed during the period of any such absence, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly determine.

(B)    If a Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or of its Affiliates (for reasons other than for Cause, Long-Term Disability, Normal Retirement, Early Retirement or death) during the Option Period, the Administrator may, in its sole and absolute discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances) approve the continuation of the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option. The Option Period for any Option that continues to vest pursuant to this subsection (B) shall end ninety days after the last Option installment vests, or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first.

(C)    If the Participant’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Option Period, the Option Period shall end on the date of such termination of employment and the Option shall thereupon not be exercisable to any extent whatsoever.

(E)    If the Participant’s employment is terminated:

(i)    By reason of Normal Retirement or Early Retirement, the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable under the provisions of the

Employees

 

foregoing Section II.4 at the time of such retirement; provided, however, that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion (and subject to conditions deemed appropriate in the circumstances), either (A) accelerate the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option effective as of the date of the Participant’s Normal Retirement or Early Retirement or (B) approve the continuation of the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option.

(ii)    With respect to an Option held by a Participant at Normal Retirement or Early Retirement, the Option Period for that portion of the Option designated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall end three years after the date of such retirement or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that in the case of an Option held by a Participant at Normal Retirement or Early Retirement as to which the Administrator exercises its discretionary authority to approve the continuation of the vesting schedule, the Option Period shall end on the earlier of the Termination Date or three years after the last Option installment vests.

(F)    If a Participant should die while in the employ of the Corporation or an Affiliate and during the Option Period, the vesting schedule of the Participant’s Option shall be accelerated and the Option shall become fully exercisable, the Option Period shall end three years after the date of death or on the Termination Date, whichever occurs first, and the Participant’s Beneficiary may exercise the entire unexercised portion of the then exercisable Shares covered by such Option (or any lesser amount) remaining on the date of death.

(G)    If a Participant who ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate is subsequently rehired prior to the expiration of his or her Option, then the Option shall continue to remain outstanding until such time as the Participant subsequently terminates employment. Upon the Participant’s subsequent termination of employment, the post-termination exercise period calculated pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section II.5 shall be reduced by the number of days between the date of the Participant’s initial termination of employment and his or her re-hire date; provided, however, that if the rehired Participant continues to be employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate for at least one year from his or her rehire date, then the post termination exercise period for the Option shall be determined in accordance with Sections II.5(A) through (F) and shall not be adjusted as described in this Section II.5(G).

6.     Method of Exercise .    A Participant may exercise an Option with respect to all or any part of the exercisable Shares as follows:

(A)    By giving the Corporation, or its authorized representative designated for this purpose, written notice of such exercise specifying the number of Shares as to which the Option is so exercised. Such notice shall be accompanied by an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares exercised, in the form of any one or combination of the following: cash or a certified check, bank draft, postal or express money order payable to the order of the Corporation in lawful money of the United States. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in his or her sole discretion, the Participant may pay the Exercise Price, in whole or in part, by tendering to the Corporation or its authorized representative Shares, which have been owned by the Participant for at least six months prior to said tender, and having a fair market value, as determined by the Corporation, equal to the Exercise Price, or in lieu of the

Employees

 

delivery of actual Shares in such tender, the Corporation may accept an attestation by the Participant, in a form prescribed by the Corporation or its authorized representative, that the Participant owns sufficient Shares of record or in an account in street name to satisfy the Exercise Price, and such attestation will be deemed a tender of Shares for purposes of this method of exercise. The Corporation or its authorized representative may accept payment of the amount due upon the exercise of the Option in the form of a Participant’s personal check. Payment may also be made by delivery (including by FAX transmission) to the Corporation or its authorized representative of an executed irrevocable Option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to an approved registered investment broker to sell Shares in an amount sufficient to pay the Exercise Price plus any applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section VII.6) and to transfer the proceeds of such sale to the Corporation.

(B)    If required by the Corporation, by giving satisfactory assurance in writing, signed by the Participant, the Participant shall give his or her assurance that the Shares subject to the Option are being purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof; provided that such assurance shall be deemed inapplicable to (1) any sale of the Shares by such Participant made in accordance with the terms of a registration statement covering such sale, which has heretofore been (or may hereafter be) filed and become effective under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and with respect to which no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued, and (2) any other sale of the Shares with respect to which, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, such assurance is not required to be given in order to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act.

(C)    As soon as practicable after receipt of the notice and the assurance described in Sections II.6(A) and (B), the Corporation shall, without transfer or issue tax (except for withholding tax arrangements contemplated in Section VII.6) and without other incidental expense to the Participant, credit the purchased Shares to the Participant’s brokerage account of record. If the Participant does not have a brokerage account of record, then the Corporation shall cause an appropriate book entry to be entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent recording the Participant’s unrestricted interest in the purchased Shares; provided, however, that the time of such delivery may be postponed by the Corporation for such period as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply with applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable listing requirements of any national securities exchange and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance or transfer of the Shares.

7.     Limitations on Transfer .    An Option shall, during a Participant’s lifetime, be exercisable only by the Participant. No Option or any right granted thereunder shall be transferable by the Participant by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Participant may designate a beneficiary to succeed, after the Participant’s death, to all of the Participant’s Options outstanding on the date of death; (ii) a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be transferable pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act; and (iii) any Participant, who is a senior executive officer recommended by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and approved by the Administrator may voluntarily transfer any Nonstatutory Stock Option to a Family Member as a gift or through a transfer to an entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned

by Family Members (or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in that entity. In the event of any attempt by a Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of an Option or of any right thereunder, except as provided herein, or in the event of the levy of any attachment, execution, or similar process upon the rights or interest hereby conferred, the Corporation at its election may terminate the affected Option by notice to the Participant and the Option shall thereupon become null and void.

8.     No Stockholder Rights .    Neither a Participant nor any person entitled to exercise a Participant’s rights in the event of the Participant’s death shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option except to the extent that a book entry has been entered in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent with respect to such Shares upon the exercise of an Option.

(A)     Restrictions .    Until the restrictions imposed on any Restricted Stock grant shall lapse (the “Restriction Period”), Shares of Restricted Stock granted to a Participant: (i) shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of, other than pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act and (ii) shall, if the Participant’s continuous employment with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates shall terminate for any reason (except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in Section III.3(B)) be returned to the

1.    If as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Stock ceases to be listed for trading on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange”), any Option, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units, or Performance Shares that are unvested on the effective date of the Change in Control shall continue to vest according to the terms and conditions of such Award, provided that such Award is replaced with an award for voting securities of the resulting corporation or the acquiring corporation, as the case may be, (including without limitation, the voting securities of any corporation which as a result of the Change in Control owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (the “Surviving Company”) which are traded on an Exchange (a “Replacement Award”), which Replacement Award, (i) in the case of Options, shall consist of options with the number of underlying shares and exercise price determined in a manner consistent with Code Section 424(a) with vesting and any other terms continuing in the same manner as the replaced Options; (ii) in the case of Performance Shares, shall consist of restricted stock or restricted stock units with a value (determined using the Surviving Company’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control) equal to the value of the Performance Shares (determined using the Corporation’s stock price and assuming attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater, as of the effective date of the Change in Control), with any restrictions on such restricted stock or restricted stock units lapsing at the end of the measuring period over which performance for the replaced Performance Shares was to be measured prior to the granting of the Replacement Award; and (iii) in the case of Restricted

Stock or Restricted Stock Units, shall consist of restricted stock or restricted stock units with a value (determined using the Surviving Company’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control) equal to the value of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (determined using the Corporation’s stock price as of the effective date of the Change in Control), with any restrictions on such restricted stock or restricted stock units lapsing at the same time and manner as the replaced Award; provided, however, that in the event of the Participant’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Corporation without Cause or Separation from Service by the Participant for Good Reason during the vesting period of any Replacement Award, the Replacement Award shall immediately vest and be paid within seven days of such Separation from Service; and provided further that upon the vesting date of each Replacement Award, in addition to the fully vested Replacement Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment (paid at the same time as the Award) equal to the decrease, if any, in the value of a share of the Surviving Company’s stock from the effective date of the Change in Control (as increased on a calendar quarterly basis using an annual interest rate, as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, for zero-coupon U.S. government securities with a constant maturity closest in length to the time period between the effective date of the Change in Control and the date of the vesting of the Replacement Award) to the time of vesting, multiplied by the total number of shares or share equivalents subject to the options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units in the Replacement Award. If Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, or Performance Shares that are unvested at the effective time of the Change in Control are not replaced with Replacement Awards, such Awards shall immediately vest and, in the case of Performance Shares, shall vest based upon deemed attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater.

If as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Stock continues to be listed for trading on an Exchange, any unvested Option, Restricted Stock Award, or Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest according to the terms and conditions of such Award and any Performance Shares shall be replaced with Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units where the number of such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be equal to the number of Performance Shares assuming attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater, as of the effective date of the Change in Control with any restrictions on such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units lapsing at the end of the measuring period over which performance for the replaced Performance Shares was to be measured prior to the granting of the replacement Award; provided however, that, in the event of the Participant’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Corporation without Cause or Separation from Service by the Participant for Good Reason during the vesting period of an Award, such Award shall immediately vest and be paid within seven days of such Separation from Service; and provided further that upon the vesting date of each Award, in addition to the fully vested Award, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment (paid at the same time as the Award) equal to the decrease, if any, in the value of a Share of the Corporation’s stock from the effective date of the Change in Control (as increased on a calendar quarterly basis using an annual interest rate, as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, for zero-coupon U.S. government securities with a constant maturity closest in length to the time period between the effective date of the Change in Control and the date of the vesting of the award) to the time of vesting, multiplied by the total number of Shares or Share Equivalents subject to the Options, Restricted Stock, or Restricted Stock Units.

2.    If (i) The Participant is a Specified Employee at the time of his Separation from Service, and (ii) some or any portion of the amounts payable to the Participant, if any, when considered together with any other payments or benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) and subject to the plan aggregation rules under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(c)(3)(viii) (together, the “Deferred Compensation Benefits”) would result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Participant on or within the six (6) month period following the Separation from Service, then to the extent such portion of the Deferred Compensation Benefits resulting in the imposition of additional tax would otherwise have been payable on or within the first six (6) months following the Separation from Service, it will instead become payable on the first payroll date that occurs in the seventh month following the Separation from Service (or such longer period as is required to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A). All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.

 

VII.

MISCELLANEOUS

1.     No Effect on Terms of Employment .    Participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate, with or without cause, or change the terms of employment of a Participant at any time.

2.     Grants to Participants in Foreign Countries .    In making grants to Participants in foreign countries, the Administrator has the full discretion to deviate from this Statement of Terms and Conditions in order to adjust grants under the Plan to prevailing local conditions, including custom and legal and tax requirements. Furthermore, the Corporation reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan on the Award and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertaking that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

3.     Information Notification .    Any information required to be given under the terms of an Award shall be addressed to the Corporation in care of its Corporate Secretary at McKesson Corporation, One Post Street, 35 th Floor, San Francisco, California 94104, and any notice to be given to a Participant shall be addressed to him at the address indicated beneath his or her name on the Award Agreement or such other address as either party may designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified and deposited (postage or registration or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office.

4.     Administrator Decisions Conclusive .    All decisions of the Administrator administering the Plan upon any questions arising under the Plan or under an Award Agreement, shall be conclusive.

Employees

 

5.     No Effect on Other Benefit Plans .    Nothing herein contained shall affect a Participant’s right to participate in and receive benefits from and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pensions, insurance or other employment welfare plan or program offered by the Corporation.

6.     Withholding .    Regardless of any action the Corporation or the Employer takes with respect to any federal, state or local income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Award, as applicable, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to him or her by the Corporation and/or the Employer; (2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Corporation (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization and any other authorization the Corporation and/or the broker designated by the Corporation may require the Participant to sign in connection with the sale of Shares); or (3) withholding Shares to be issued upon grant, vesting/settlement or exercise, as applicable. Calculation of the number of Shares to be withheld shall be made based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. In no event, however, shall the Corporation be required to issue fractional Shares. With respect to an Award other than an Option, if adequate arrangements to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items are not made by the Participant with the Corporation and/or the Employer prior to the relevant taxable event, the Corporation will satisfy such obligations as provided above in (3) of this paragraph.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Corporation may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely

 

14


Employees

 

for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Corporation or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Corporation or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Corporation may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

The Administrator shall be authorized to establish such rules, forms and procedures as it deems necessary to implement the foregoing.

7.     Successors .    The Award Agreements shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Corporation. “Participant” as used herein shall include the Participant’s Beneficiary.

8.     Delaware Law .    The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of all Award Agreements shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

9.     Nature of Grant .    In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges that:

(A)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Corporation, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Corporation at any time;

(B)    the grant of the Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Award grants, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(C)    all decisions with respect to future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation;

(D)    the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(E)    the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(F)    the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Corporation; and furthermore, the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Corporation;

(G)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

 

15


Employees

 

(H)    if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Options will have no value;

(I)    in consideration of the grant of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award which results from termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employer or the Corporation or one of its Affiliates (for any reason whatsoever) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Corporation or its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the Award, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim;

(J)    for purposes of an Award, the Participant’s employment relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee of the Corporation or one of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of the employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, the Participant’s right to receive Awards and vest in Awards under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; similarly, any right to exercise Options under the Plan after termination of employment will be measured as of the date the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee of the Corporation or one of its Affiliates and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer a bona fide employee;

(K)    the Corporation is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Corporation making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of Shares; and

(L)    Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

10.     Data Privacy .    By accepting the Award, the Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer and the Corporation and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Corporation and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited, his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Other Share-Based Awards, or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and

 

16


Employees

 

managing the Plan (“Data”). The Participant understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that if the Participant resides outside of the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that if the Participant resides outside of the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, without cost, by contacting in writing the local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if he or she later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing his or her consent is that the Corporation would not be able to grant him or her Awards or administer or maintain such Awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact the local human resources representative.

11.     Severability .    The provisions in this Statement of Terms and Conditions are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

12.     Language .    If the Participant has received this Statement of Terms and Conditions or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

13.     Electronic Delivery .    The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Corporation or a third party designated by the Corporation.

FORM OF

McKESSON CORPORATION

STATEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

PURSUANT TO THE 2005 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

Effective April 20, 2010

The following terms and conditions shall apply to awards made under the McKesson Corporation 2005 Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to an executive, managerial or professional employee of the Company who is specifically designated as a participant in the Plan. Capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Plan or in Section 10. In the event these terms and conditions conflict with the terms of the Plan document, the Plan document shall control.

 

1. Participant .

Only active employees of the Company who are employed in an executive, managerial or professional capacity may be designated as Participants under the Plan. The Compensation Committee (“the Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors shall review those employees who are eligible to participate in the Plan and recommended by management and determine which of those employees will become Plan Participants.

1. Committee Action .

The Target Award is the amount specified by the Committee at the time of making the award. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no amount shall be payable with respect to a Performance Period unless the Committee certifies that it is satisfied that the requirements (performance or otherwise) associated with such payment have been fully met.

2. Performance Measures .

Any payment pursuant to the Target Award shall be contingent upon the Company’s performance during the Performance Period. The final amount to be paid pursuant to the Target Award shall be calculated by determining the percentage, determined with reference to the Performance Chart (with interpolation), and then applying the result to the Target Award (such finally determined amount, the “Actual Award”). The Target Award and the Actual Award may be referred to herein cumulatively as the “Awards.”

The Committee reserves the right to reduce the individual payments determined according to the above formula.

Payment of the Actual Award, if any, shall be made in a lump sum as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Performance Period and the Committee’s certification as set forth in Section 1, subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 3 below or acceleration as provided in Section 4 below; provided, however, that the Actual Award shall not be paid later than following the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends, unless as otherwise provided below.

  (a) Termination of Employment Due to Retirement, Death or Long-Term Disability Prior to Completion of One Half of the Performance Period; Termination for Any Reason Other Than Retirement, Death or Long-Term Disability Prior to Payment of the Actual Award

If the Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Company prior to completion of one half of the Performance Period, for any reason, or prior to the payment of the Actual Award for any reason other than Retirement, death or Long-Term Disability, the Participant’s interest in the Awards shall be forfeited in its entirety and no amount shall be payable to the Participant with respect to service during the Performance Period.

 

  (b) Termination of Employment by Reason of Retirement, Death or Long-Term Disability On or After Completion of One Half of the Performance Period

If the Participant ceases to be a bona fide employee of the Company on or after completion of one half of the Performance Period, due to Retirement, death or Long-Term Disability, the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary, if payment is made on account of the death of the Participant) shall be entitled to receive the following as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the Performance Period, but prior to the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends:

The pro-rata portion of the Actual Award adjusted by the actual service during the Performance Period; provided, the fraction representing the pro-rata amount shall be applied to the Actual Award, which is based on the actual performance during the Performance Period, and not the Target Award.

4. Effect of Change in Control .

In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control prior to the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company, the Actual Award will be calculated and replaced with an award of restricted cash with a dollar amount equal to the dollar amount of the Actual Award assuming attainment of target performance or actual performance achieved, if greater, as of the Change in Control and with the restrictions on such restricted cash award lapsing at the end of the Performance Period applicable to the Target Award without regard to the Change in Control.

It is the Company’s intent that the Awards under the Plan do not constitute deferred compensation subject to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”); however, to the extent any amount payable under the Plan, when considered together with any other payments or benefits which may be considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A (as determined by the Company in its reasonable judgment), would result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid on or within six months following such termination of employment, such amount shall instead be paid on the date that follows the date of such termination of employment by six months or such longer time as required to avoid tax liabilities under Section 409A. For purposes of this Statement of Terms and Conditions, “termination of employment” and similar iterations, shall have the same meaning as “Separation from Service” as defined in DCAP III.
