SCHLUMBERGER LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Schlumberger Limited and its subsidiaries (Schlumberger) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Schlumberger management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016. The December 31, 2015 balance sheet information has been derived from the Schlumberger 2015 audited financial statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2016.
Certain prior period items have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Merger with Cameron International Corporation
On April 1, 2016, Schlumberger acquired all of the outstanding shares of Cameron International Corporation (Cameron), a leading provider of flow equipment products, systems and services to the oil and gas industry worldwide. The merger will create technology-driven growth by integrating Schlumberger’s reservoir and well technologies with Cameron wellhead and surface equipment, flow control and processing technology. The combination of the two complementary technology portfolios provides the industry’s most comprehensive range of products and services, from exploration to production and integrated pore-to-pipeline solutions that optimize hydrocarbon recovery to deliver reservoir performance. Cameron’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $8.8 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Cameron became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schlumberger. Each share of Cameron common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was converted into the right to receive 0.716 share of Schlumberger stock and $14.44 in cash. As a result, Schlumberger issued approximately 138 million shares of its common stock and paid cash of approximately $2.8 billion in connection with this transaction. Based on the closing price of Schlumberger’s common stock on April 1, 2016, the total fair value of the consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of Cameron was approximately $12.9 billion. Due to the fact that the acquisition just recently closed, the initial accounting for the transaction has not yet been completed. Cameron reported net tangible assets of approximately $3.0 billion as of December 31, 2015, consisting of $2.4 billion of cash and short-term investments, $2.0 billion of accounts receivable, $2.4 billion of inventories, $1.7 billion of fixed assets, $2.8 billion of debt and $2.7 billion of other net liabilities.
As this transaction closed subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2016, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related footnotes do not reflect any amounts relating to the acquired Cameron business.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Schlumberger is required to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2017, and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 , Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which amends existing guidance on income taxes to require the classification of all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current on the balance sheet. Schlumberger is required to adopt this ASU no later than January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and the guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Schlumberger does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases . This ASU requires lessees to recognize for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, a liability equal to the present value of lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset also
8
based on the present value of lease payments. Schlumberger is evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its conso lidated financial statements.
2. Charges and Credits
Schlumberger did not record any charges or credits during the first quarter of 2016.
2015
Schlumberger recorded the following charges and credits during the first quarter of 2015:
|
· |
As a result of the severe fall in activity in North America, combined with the impact of lower international activity due to customer budget cuts driven by lower oil prices, Schlumberger decided to reduce its headcount during the first quarter of 2015. Schlumberger recorded a $390 million charge during the first quarter associated with this headcount reduction as well as an incentivized leave of absence program. |
|
· |
In February 2015, the Venezuelan government replaced the SICAD II exchange rate with a new foreign exchange market system known as SIMADI. The SIMADI exchange rate was approximately 192 Venezuelan Bolivares fuertes to the US dollar as of March 31, 2015. As a result, Schlumberger recorded a $49 million devaluation charge during the first quarter of 2015, reflecting the adoption of the SIMADI exchange rate. This change resulted in a reduction in the US dollar reported amount of local currency denominated revenues, expenses and, consequently, income before taxes and net income in Venezuela. |
The following is a summary of these charges, all of which were classified as Restructuring & other in the Consolidated Statement of Income :

10 . Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Schlumberger is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To mitigate these risks, Schlumberger utilizes derivative instruments. Schlumberger does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
Schlumberger is subject to interest rate risk on its debt and its investment portfolio. Schlumberger maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses a mix of variable and fixed rate debt combined with its investment portfolio and occasionally interest rate swaps to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, Schlumberger entered into a cross currency swap for a notional amount of €0.5 billion in order to hedge changes in the fair value of Schlumberger’s €0.5 billion 1.50% Guaranteed Notes due 2019. Under the terms of this swap, Schlumberger receives interest at a fixed rate of 1.50% on the euro notional amount and pays interest at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus approximately 64 basis points on the US dollar notional amount.
This cross currency swap is designated as a fair value hedge of the underlying debt. This derivative instrument is marked to market with gains and losses recognized in income to largely offset the respective gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of the hedged debt.
At March 31, 2016, Schlumberger had fixed rate debt of $13.9 billion and variable rate debt of $7.6 billion after taking into account the effect of the swap.
Short-term investments and Fixed income investments , held to maturity totaled $12.8 billion at March 31, 2016. The carrying value of these investments approximated fair value, which was estimated using quoted market prices for those or similar investments.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
As a multinational company, Schlumberger conducts its business in more than 85 countries. Schlumberger’s functional currency is primarily the US dollar. However, outside the United States, a significant portion of Schlumberger’s expenses is incurred in foreign currencies. Therefore, when the US dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which Schlumberger conducts business, the US dollar–reported expenses will increase (decrease).
Schlumberger is exposed to risks on future cash flows to the extent that the local currency is not the functional currency and expenses denominated in local currency are not equal to revenues denominated in local currency. Schlumberger is also exposed to risks on future cash flows relating to certain of its fixed rate debt which is denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options to provide a hedge against a portion of these cash flow risks. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedge recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments, if any, is recorded directly to earnings.
At March 31, 2016, Schlumberger recognized a cumulative net $30 million loss in Accumulated other comprehensive loss relating to revaluation of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options designated as cash flow hedges, the majority of which is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
Schlumberger is exposed to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. While Schlumberger uses foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options to economically hedge this exposure as it relates to certain currencies, these contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Instead, the fair value of the contracts is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income as are changes in fair value of the hedged item.
At March 31, 2016, contracts were outstanding for the US dollar equivalent of $4.1 billion in various foreign currencies, of which $0.7 billion relate to hedges of debt denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

12. Contingencies
Schlumberger and its subsidiaries are party to various legal proceedings from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceedings is remote. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings.

(1 ) Comprised principally of certain corporate expenses not allocated to the segments, stock-based compensation costs, amortization expense associated with certain intangible assets, certain centrally managed initiatives and other nonoperating items.
(2) Interest income excludes amounts which are included in the segments’ income ($6 million in the first quarter 2016; $6 million in the fourth quarter in 2015).
(3) Interest expense excludes amounts which are included in the segments’ income ($13 million in the first quarter 2016; $8 million in the fourth quarter 2015).
During the first quarter of 2016, the decline in global activity and the rate of activity disruption reached unprecedented levels as the industry displayed clear signs of operating in a full-scale cash crisis. Budgeted E&P spend fell again and substantially affected Schlumberger’s operating results. This environment is expected to continue deteriorating during the second quarter of 2016 given the magnitude and erratic nature of the disruptions in activity.
17
First-quarter 2016 revenue of $6.5 billion decreased 16% sequentially and was driven by a continuing drop in activity and persistent pricing pressure t hroughout Schlumberger’s global operations, as well as from project delays, job cancellations and activity disruptions.
North America first-quarter 2016 revenue of $1.5 billion was 25% lower sequentially as the US land rig count declined 31% following customer budget cuts. By the end of the first quarter, the US land rig count had fallen to approximately 400, representing a drop of 80% from the peak of October 2014.
Revenue for the International Areas of $5.0 billion decreased 13% sequentially due to a combination of customer budget cuts, activity disruptions, seasonal winter slow-downs and persistent pricing pressure.
First-quarter 2016 pretax operating margins decreased 281 basis point (bps) to 13.8%. North America pretax operating margin declined 777 bps sequentially to -1% as the downturn deepened causing further customer spending cuts and as widespread operational disruptions prevented prompt cost adjustments. International Area pretax operating margin of 21% decreased 70 bps sequentially due to project cancellations, job delays and activity disruptions, particularly in the Europe/CIS/Africa Area.
Reservoir Characterization Group
Reservoir Characterization Group revenue of $1.7 billion declined 20% sequentially, primarily due to seasonal winter slowdowns and project cancellations that impacted Wireline activities. Lower multiclient and SIS software sales and Testing Services revenue also contributed to the decline.
Pretax operating margin of 19% declined 480 bps sequentially primarily due to reduced high-margin Wireline services and SIS software sales.
Drilling Group
Drilling Group revenue of $2.5 billion decreased 16% sequentially as a result of a sharp drop in drilling activity combined with persistent pricing pressure and seasonal winter slowdowns.
Pretax operating margin of 15% declined 183 bps sequentially as a result of the lower activity and pricing pressure.
Production Group
Production Group revenue of $2.3 billion decreased 11% sequentially with 74% of the decrease attributable to a further decline in North America land activity, as additional customer spending cuts led to a further decline in rig count and increased pricing pressure.
Pretax operating margin of 9% decreased 258 bps sequentially primarily from further pricing weakness in pressure pumping services.

First-quarter 2016 revenue of $6.5 billion was 36% lower year-on-year, while pretax operating income of $901 million was lower by 55%. Pretax operating margin decreased 563 bps to 13.8%
North America first-quarter 2016 revenue of $1.5 billion decreased 55% year-on-year as the US land rig count declined 62% and customer budgets were significantly reduced. Land revenue declined 62%, in line with the rig count decline. Offshore revenue decreased 30% as a result of lower activity, project delays and lower multiclient sales.
Revenue for the International Areas of $5.0 billion decreased 28% year-on-year due to a combination of customer budget cuts, activity disruptions and continued pricing pressure.
19
North America pretax operating margin declined 1,357 bps year-on-year to -1% while International Area pretax operating margin of 21% decreased 277 bps year-on-year. These decreases were primarily attributable to the severe activity decline and pricing pre ssure.
Reservoir Characterization Group
First-quarter 2016 revenue of $1.7 billion was 34% lower than the same period of 2015 primarily due to lower customer spending on discretionary and exploration activities, which impacted Wireline and Testing Technologies as well as software and multiclient sales.
Year-on-year, pretax operating margin decreased 635 bps to 19% primarily as a result of the unfavorable revenue mix due to the decrease in high-margin exploration activities.
Drilling Group
First-quarter 2016 revenue of $2.5 billion was 36% lower than the same period of 2015, while pretax operating margin decreased 496 bps to 15%. These declines were primarily due to the sharp drop in drilling activity combined with persistent pricing pressure that mainly affected Drilling & Measurements and M-I SWACO Technologies.
Production Group
First-quarter 2016 revenue of $2.3 billion decreased 37% year-on-year primarily attributable to Well Services pressure pumping technologies driven by the severe activity decline and pricing pressure as the land rig count declined dramatically in North America.
Year-on-year pretax operating margin decreased 580 bps to 9% as lower activity and pricing pressure continued in North America land.

% |
Although Research & engineering and General & administrative costs have increased as a percentage of Revenue , they have decreased in absolute dollar terms as a result of cost control measures that Schlumberger has implemented.
Interest expense of $133 million for the first quarter of 2016 increased by $51 million compared to the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the issuance of $6.0 billion of Senior Notes during the fourth quarter of 2015.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 was 15.9% compared to 23.6% for the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2015 was significantly impacted by the charges and credits described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements . Excluding the impact of the charges and credits, the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2015 was 20.9%. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the geographic mix of earnings, as Schlumberger generated a smaller portion of its pretax earnings in North America during the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period last year.
20
Schlumberger recorded charges during the first quarter of 2015, all of which were classified as Restructuring & other in the Consolidated Statement of Income . These charges, which are summarized below, are more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements .

Schlumberger did not record any charges or credits during the first quarter of 2016.
Going forward, Schlumberger will continue to tailor its cost and resource levels to activity in order to protect its financial strength. This will likely result in charges in future periods.
Net Debt
Net Debt represents gross debt less cash, short-term investments and fixed income investments, held to maturity. Management believes that Net Debt provides useful information regarding the level of Schlumberger indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt.
Details of changes in Net Debt follow:
(1) |
Includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, multiclient seismic data costs and SPM investments. |

Key liquidity events during the first three months of 2016 and 2015 included:
|
· |
On July 18, 2013, the Schlumberger Board of Directors approved a $10 billion share repurchase program to be completed at the latest by June 30, 2018. Schlumberger had repurchased $9.1 billion of shares under this new share repurchase program as of March 31, 2016. |
The following table summarizes the activity under this share repurchase program:
On January 21, 2016, the Board of directors approved a new $10 billion share repurchase program for Schlumberger common stock. The new program will take effect once the remaining $0.9 billion authorized to be repurchased under the July 18, 2013 program is exhausted.
|
· |
Capital expenditures were $0.5 billion during the first three months of 2016 compared to $0.6 billion during the first three months of 2015. Capital expenditures for full-year 2016 are expected to be approximately $2.0 billion (including approximately $160 million from the effect of the recently completed Cameron acquisition), as compared to expenditures of $2.4 billion in 2015. |
Schlumberger has experienced delays in payment from its customers in Venezuela. I n April 2016, Schlumberger announced that it will reduce its activity in Venezuela to align operations with cash collections as a result of insufficient payments received in recent quarters and a lack of progress in establishing new mechanisms that address past and future accounts receivable. Schlumberger remains fully committed to supporting the Venezuelan exploration and production industry. The reduction in activity levels will be made in close coordination with all customers in Venezuela to continue servicing those customers with available cash flow, while allowing for a safe and orderly wind down of operations for others. Venezuela represented less than 5% of Schlumberger’s consolidated revenue during the first quarter of 2016 and for the full-year 2015.
Schlumberger operates in more than 85 countries. At March 31, 2016, only five of those countries individually accounted for greater than 5% of Schlumberger’s accounts receivable balances, of which only Venezuela accounted for greater than 10%. Schlumberger’s net receivable balance in Venezuela as of March 31, 2016 was approximately $1.2 billion.
On April 1, 2016, Schlumberger acquired all of the outstanding shares of Cameron International Corporation (Cameron), a leading provider of flow equipment products, systems and services to the oil and gas industry worldwide. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Cameron became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schlumberger. Each share of Cameron common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was converted into the right to receive 0.716 share of Schlumberger stock and $14.44 in cash. As a result, Schlumberger issued approximately 138 million shares of its common stock and paid cash of
22
approximately $2.8 billion in connection with this transaction. Based on the closing price of Schlumberger’s common stock on April 1, 2016, the total fair value of the consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of Cameron was approximat ely $ 12. 9 billion. Cameron’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $8.8 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively .
As of March 31, 2016, Schlumberger had $14.4 billion of cash and short-term investments on hand. Schlumberger had separate committed debt facility agreements aggregating $6.8 billion with commercial banks, of which $2.1 billion was available and unused as of March 31, 2016. The $6.8 billion of committed debt facility agreements included $6.5 billion of committed facilities that support commercial paper programs. Schlumberger believes that these amounts are sufficient to meet future business requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Borrowings under the commercial paper programs at March 31, 2016 were $4.8 billion.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q and other statements we make contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which include any statements that are not historical facts, such as our forecasts or expectations regarding business outlook; growth for Schlumberger as a whole and for each of its segments (and for specified products or geographic areas within each segment); oil and natural gas demand and production growth; oil and natural gas prices; improvements in operating procedures and technology; capital expenditures by Schlumberger and the oil and gas industry; the business strategies of Schlumberger’s customers; the integration of Cameron into our business; the anticipated benefits of the Cameron transaction; the success of Schlumberger’s joint ventures and alliances; future global economic conditions; and future results of operations. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, global economic conditions; changes in exploration and production spending by Schlumberger’s customers and changes in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development; general economic, political and business conditions in key regions of the world; foreign currency risk; pricing erosion; weather and seasonal factors; operational modifications, delays or cancellations; production declines; changes in government regulations and regulatory requirements, including those related to offshore oil and gas exploration, radioactive sources, explosives, chemicals, hydraulic fracturing services and climate-related initiatives; the inability of technology to meet new challenges in exploration; the inability to successfully integrate Cameron and to realize expected synergies; the inability to retain key employees; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in this first-quarter 2016 Form 10-Q and our most recent Form 10-K and other filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of any such development changes), or should our underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. Schlumberger disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting Schlumberger, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” of the Schlumberger Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Schlumberger’s exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2015.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Schlumberger has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of Schlumberger’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of Schlumberger’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Schlumberger files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Schlumberger’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Schlumberger’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
The information with respect to this Item 1 is set forth under Note 12— Contingencies, in the Consolidated Financial Statements .
23
As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of Schlumberger’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
None.
Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities
On July 18, 2013, the Schlumberger Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a $10 billion share repurchase program for shares of Schlumberger common stock, to be completed at the latest by June 30, 2018.
Schlumberger’s common stock repurchase program activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was as follows:
In connection with the exercise of stock options under Schlumberger’s incentive compensation plans, Schlumberger routinely receives shares of its common stock from optionholders in consideration of the exercise price of the stock options. Schlumberger does not view these transactions as requiring disclosure under this Item as the number of shares of Schlumberger common stock received from optionholders is not material.
On January 21, 2016, the Board approved a new $10 billion share repurchase program for Schlumberger common stock. This new program will take effect once the remaining $0.9 billion authorized to be repurchased under the July 18, 2013 program is exhausted.

2. Vesting of Performance Share Units . The period of time between the grant date specified in the Award Notice (the “Grant Date”) and the vesting of Performance Share Units (and the termination of restrictions thereon) is the “Performance Period.” The Performance Share Units will vest as follows:
(a) On the first Friday following the first meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in January 2019 (the “Vesting Date”), a number of Performance Share Units will vest based on the extent to which the Company has satisfied the performance condition set forth on Attachment I to this Agreement, provided that Employee is continuously employed by the Company through the Vesting Date and has not experienced a Termination of Employment as of such date. Except as provided in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) below, if there is any Termination of Employment (as defined in Section 11 below) during the period from and between the Grant Date until and including the Vesting Date, Employee will immediately and automatically forfeit all Performance Share Units. Any questions as to whether and when there has been a Termination of Employment, and the cause of such termination, will be resolved by the Committee (as defined in Section 11 below), and its determination will be final.
(b) If Employee’s Termination of Employment (as defined in Section 11 below) occurs due to Retirement (as defined in Section 11 below) or Special Retirement (as defined in Section 11 below), the Performance Share Units will vest in accordance with Section 2(a) above as if Employee had remained continuously employed by the Company through the Vesting Date.
(c) If Employee’s Termination of Employment (as defined in Section 11 below) occurs due to Disability (as defined in Section 11 below) or death, then immediately on the occurrence of such Termination of Employment, the target number of Performance Share Units shall vest.
(d) If Employee ceases to be employed in a position eligible to receive Performance Share Units pursuant to this Agreement (as determined by the Committee) in its sole and absolute discretion) (an “Eligible Position”) the Performance Share Units will vest in accordance with Section 2(a) above, provided that Employee (x) remains continuously employed by the Company through the Vesting Date or (y) experiences a Qualifying Termination after Employee ceases to be employed in an Eligible Position. For the avoidance of doubt, if Employee experiences a Termination of Employment (as defined in Section 11 below) due to Disability (as defined in Section 11 below) or death after Employee ceases to be employed in an Eligible Position, the provisions of Section 2(c), will control.
3. Settlement of Performance Share Units . Payment of vested Performance Share Units shall be made in shares of Common Stock as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than 2-1/2 months following the Vesting Date (the date of any such payment, the “Settlement Date”); provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, settle the vested Performance Share Units in cash based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Settlement Date.
4. Forfeitures of Performance Share Units .
(a) At any time during the Performance Period, upon a Termination of Employment for any reason that does not result in a continuation of vesting pursuant to Section 2, Employee will immediately and automatically forfeit all unvested Performance Share Units, without the payment of any consideration. Upon forfeiture, neither Employee nor any successors, heirs, assigns or legal representatives of Employee will thereafter have any further rights or interest in the Performance Share Units.
Page 1 of 6
(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time during the Performance Period, Employee engages in Detrimental Activity, Employee will immediately and automatically forfeit all Performance Share Units without the payment of any consideration. Upon forfeiture, neither Employee nor any successors, heirs, assigns or legal representatives of Employee will thereafter have any further rights or interest in the unvested Performance Share Units.
5. Restrictions on Transfer .
(a) Performance Share Units granted hereunder to Employee may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise (any of the foregoing, a “Transfer”), other than (i) to the Company as a result of the forfeiture of Performance Share Units, or (ii) by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Payment of Performance Share Units after Employee’s death will be made to Employee’s estate or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee, to the person or persons entitled to receive such payment under applicable laws of descent and distribution.
(b) Consistent with the foregoing, no right or benefit under this Agreement will be subject to Transfer, and any such attempt to Transfer, will have no effect and be void. No right or benefit hereunder will in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefits. If Employee attempts to Transfer any right or benefit hereunder or if any creditor attempts to subject the same to a writ of garnishment, attachment, execution, sequestration, or any other form of process or involuntary lien or seizure, then such attempt will have no effect and be void and immediately upon any such attempt the Performance Share Units will terminate and become of no further effect.
6. Rights as a Stockholder . Employee will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with regard to the Performance Share Units. Rights as a stockholder of the Company will arise only if the Performance Share Units are settled in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 above.
7. Taxes . To the extent that the receipt of Performance Share Units hereunder or the payment upon lapse of any restrictions results in income to Employee for federal or state income tax purposes or in any other cases where the Company holds the view that it is obligated to withhold taxes, Employee shall deliver to the Company immediately prior to the time of such receipt or lapse, as the case may be, such amount of money or shares of Common Stock owned by Employee, at Employee’s election, as the Company may require to meet its obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations, and, if Employee fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold for a number of Performance Share Units or cash or other form of remuneration then or thereafter payable to Employee equal to any tax required to be withheld due to reason of such resulting compensation income. The Performance Share Units are intended to be “short-term deferrals” exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and shall be construed and interpreted accordingly.
8. Changes in Capital Structure . As more fully described in the Plan, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock at any time are changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or recapitalization, the number and kind of Performance Share Units will be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain their equivalence to the proportionate number of shares.
9. Compliance With Securities Laws . The Company will not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such issuance would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations or the laws of any other country. Prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may require that Employee (or Employee’s legal representative upon Employee’s death or Disability) enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Agreement.
10. Limitation of Rights . Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan may be construed to:
(a) give Employee or any other person or entity any right to be awarded any further Performance Share Units (or other form of stock incentive awards) other than in the sole discretion of the Committee;
(b) give Employee or any other person or entity any interest in any fund or in any specified asset or assets of the Company (other than the Performance Share Units); or

The number of citations, orders, and proposed assessments vary by inspector and also vary depending on the size and type of the operation. |
