‘EX-10.2’ — 2015 Form of Restricted Share Unit Agreement
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation Long‑Term Incentive Plan
FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (the “Corporation”) and , a key employee (the “Grantee”) of the Corporation, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
SECTION
1: Restricted Stock Unit Award
1.1 Award. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) and to the terms of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation Long‑Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Corporation awards to the Grantee restricted stock units (the “RSUs”), each representing a share of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $.01 (the “Common Stock”), on (the “Grant Date”), subject to adjustment as provided in Article IX of the Plan. Each of the RSUs is denominated as a single share of Common Stock with a value equal to one share of Common Stock. Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
1.2 Acceptance. The Grantee accepts the award confirmed hereby, and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, as this Agreement and the Plan may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that no alteration, amendment, revocation or termination of this Agreement or the Plan shall, without the written consent of the Grantee, adversely affect the rights of the Grantee with respect to the award. If the Grantee does not execute and deliver this Agreement to the Corporation on or before , this award will be forfeited. In such case, the Grantee will have no rights to this award and it will not be reinstated.
1.3 Dividend
Equivalent Rights; No Voting. During the period prior to vesting, dividend equivalents will accrue with respect to the RSUs corresponding to the amount of any dividend paid by the Corporation for the applicable dividend payment date. Such dividend equivalents will be paid in cash to the Grantee without interest pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement if and to the extent that the underlying RSUs become vested as provided in this Agreement. In the event that the Grantee receives any additional RSUs as an adjustment with respect to the RSUs granted under this Agreement, such additional RSUs will be subject to the same restrictions as if granted under this Agreement as of the Grant Date and paid pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement. During the period prior to vesting, the Grantee shall not be entitled to vote any shares represented by the RSUs. “Corporation”, when used herein with reference to employment of the Grantee, shall include
any Affiliate of the Corporation.
SECTION 2: Restrictions on Transfer
2.1 Nontransferable. No RSUs awarded hereunder or any interest therein may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of (any such action being hereinafter referred to as a “Disposition”) by the Grantee until such time as this restriction lapses with respect to such RSUs
pursuant to Section 3 hereof, and any attempt to make such a Disposition shall be null
and void and result in the immediate forfeiture and return to the Corporation without consideration of any RSUs as to which restrictions on Disposition shall at such time be in effect.
SECTION 3: Vesting, Risk Adjustment, Forfeiture, Termination of Employment, Disability and Covenants
3.1 Vesting Period, Risk Adjustment and Forfeiture.
Vesting and Risk Adjustment. Subject to Section 5.6 of this Agreement, if the Grantee remains continuously employed by the Corporation through the close of business on the applicable vesting date, the RSUs
shall vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse in accordance with the following schedule: [Insert Vesting Schedule]
provided that all fractional RSUs, if any, will be rounded up and vest as whole RSUs upon the earlier vesting date(s) and provided further that unvested RSUs are subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A.
Forfeiture upon Termination of Employment. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement, upon the effective date of a termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation
occurring prior to the vesting and lapse of restrictions on Disposition, all RSUs then subject to restrictions on Disposition shall immediately be forfeited and returned to the Corporation without consideration or further action being required of the Corporation except in situations where vesting would have occurred but for the fact that a determination has not yet been made as to whether a risk adjustment pursuant to Attachment A is required, in which case vesting shall occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement provided that the Committee determines the effect, if any, of a risk adjustment. The effective date of the Grantee’s termination shall be the date upon which the Grantee ceases to perform services as an employee of the Corporation, without regard to accrued vacation, severance or other benefits or the characterization thereof on the payroll records of the Corporation.
Forfeiture
upon Termination of Employment for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the effective date of a termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation for “Cause,” as defined in Section 3.4 below, all RSUs then subject to restrictions on Disposition shall immediately be forfeited and returned to the Corporation without consideration or further action being required of the Corporation.
Limitation. Subject to Section 4.1, a vesting date may be delayed if and to the extent the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A is not completed by such date.
- 2 -
3.2 Specified
Terminations of Employment.
Death. If the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by reason of the Grantee’s death (or if the Grantee’s death occurs at any time while the RSUs remain subject to restrictions on Disposition), the RSUs shall vest immediately and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse upon the Grantee’s death.
Specified Age and Years of Service Rule. If the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation terminates on or after the Grantee’s attainment of age 55 and the combination of the Grantee’s age and years of credited employment with the Corporation (including full and partial years of age or service) on the date
of Grantee’s termination equals or exceeds 65, the RSUs shall continue to vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the dates provided in Section 3.1, contingent upon the Grantee’s compliance with the covenants provided in Section 3.5 hereof and subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A. If the Grantee fails to comply with such covenants, the RSUs shall immediately be forfeited. For the purposes of the foregoing, partial years shall be determined based upon the number of days since the Grantee’s then prior birthday or the number of days of credited employment since the Grantee’s then prior anniversary, as the case may be.
Termination Providing Transition/Separation Pay. If the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation
terminates by reason of a termination providing transition/separation pay from the Corporation, the RSUs shall continue to vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the dates provided in Section 3.1, contingent upon the Grantee’s compliance with the covenants provided in Section 3.5 hereof and subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A. If the Grantee fails to comply with such covenants, the RSUs shall immediately be forfeited.
Sale of Business. If the Grantee’s employment terminates by reason of a termination by the Corporation due to a sale of a business unit or subsidiary of the Corporation by which the Grantee is employed and the Grantee is not otherwise entitled to transition/separation pay from the Corporation, the RSUs shall continue
to vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the dates provided in Section 3.1, subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A.
Change in Control. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation without “Cause,” as defined in Section 3.4 below, within two years after a Change in Control, as defined in Section 10.1 of the Plan, occurring after the Grant Date, the RSUs shall continue to vest and the restrictions on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the dates provided in Section 3.1, subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A.
3.3 Disability. If
Grantee receives current benefits under the Corporation’s long‑term disability plan while any portion of this award remains unvested, the RSUs shall continue to vest and the restrictions
- 3 -
on Disposition of the RSUs set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the dates provided in Section 3.1, subject to forfeiture based upon the risk adjustment process set forth on Attachment A.
3.4 Cause Definition. Solely for purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean when the Corporation or any Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that:
(i)
the Grantee has been convicted of, or has entered into a pretrial diversion or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere (plea of no contest) to a crime or offense constituting a felony (or its equivalent under applicable laws outside of the United States), or to any other crime or offense involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, fraud, breach of trust, money laundering, or any other offense that may preclude the Grantee from being employed with a financial institution;
(ii) the Grantee is grossly negligent in the performance of his or her duties or has failed to perform in any material respect the duties of his or her employment, including, without limitation, failure to comply with any lawful directive from the Corporation, other than by reason of incapacity due to disability or from any permitted leave of absence required by law;
(iii)
the Grantee has violated the Corporation’s Code of Conduct or any of the policies of the Corporation governing the conduct of the Corporation’s business or his or her employment;
(iv) the Grantee has engaged in any misconduct which has the effect of being materially injurious to the Corporation, including, but not limited to, its reputation;
(v) the Grantee has engaged in an act of fraud or dishonesty, including, but not limited to, taking or failing to take actions intending to result in personal gain; or
(vi) if the Grantee is employed outside the United States and there are circumstances other than the above that warrant the immediate termination of his or her employment without any notice or payment
in accordance with the terms of his or her employment agreement or Applicable Laws (as defined in Section 5.2).
3.5 Covenants. The Grantee agrees to provide the Corporation with 90 days’ advance written notice of any voluntary termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation. In the case of those terminations for which vesting is contingent upon compliance with this section, the Grantee agrees that for the period commencing on the effective date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Corporation until the one‑year anniversary thereof (provided that the covenants shall not apply to any vested RSU tranches), the Grantee will not directly or indirectly (a) solicit or attempt to solicit or induce, directly or indirectly, (i) any current or prospective client
of the Corporation or an Affiliate known to the Grantee, to initiate or continue a client relationship with the Grantee other than with the Corporation or Affiliate or to terminate or reduce its client relationship with the Corporation or Affiliate, or (ii) any employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate, to terminate such employee’s employment relationship with the Corporation or Affiliate in order to enter into a similar relationship with the Grantee, or any other person or any entity, or (b) compete against the Corporation or an Affiliate in any capacity, whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, employee or otherwise, with any financial services industry company located within 1,000 miles of the Grantee’s primary location of employment with the
- 4 -
Corporation;
provided, however, that the ownership of up to 5% of any class of the outstanding securities of any company the securities of which are listed on a national securities exchange (a “Public Company”) (including, for purposes of calculating such percentage, the voting securities owned by persons acting in concert with such person or otherwise constituting a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) shall not be deemed a violation hereof provided that the Grantee does not have an active role in the management of such Public Company. If the Grantee fails to comply with such covenants, the consequence shall be forfeiture of the RSUs and all dividend equivalents accrued with respect to such RSUs. The Grantee agrees to advise any person or entity that seeks to employ the Grantee of the terms of these covenants.
3.6 Continuation. For
the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 5.6 continue to apply without limitation in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any termination of employment or services under this Section 3.
SECTION 4: Settlement
4.1 Time of Settlement. Vested RSUs shall be settled on the vesting dates provided herein and in all events no later than two and one-half months following the end of the calendar year in which vesting occurs; provided, however, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), upon separation from service and such settlement
is conditioned upon a separation from service and not compensation the Grantee could receive without separating from service, then settlement shall not be made until the first day following the six‑month anniversary of the Grantee’s separation from service (or upon earlier death).
4.2 Form of Settlement. The RSUs shall be settled in the form of Common Stock delivered in book‑entry form. Dividend equivalents, if any, shall be settled in the form of cash, payable without interest.
SECTION 5: Miscellaneous
5.1 No Right to Employment. Neither
the award of RSUs nor anything else contained in this Agreement or the Plan shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Corporation to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time, for any reason, with or without Cause.
5.2 Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees to take any action, and consents to the taking of any action by the Corporation, with respect to the RSUs awarded hereunder necessary to achieve compliance with applicable laws, regulations or relevant regulatory requirements or interpretations in effect from time to time (“Applicable Laws”). Any determination in this connection by the Corporation shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Corporation shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the U.S. Securities Act of
1933 (as the same shall be in effect from time to time) or to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the delivery of shares in book-entry form or otherwise therefore to comply with any Applicable Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, the Grantee understands and agrees that if any payment or other
- 5 -
obligation under or arising from this Agreement, including without limitation dividend equivalent rights, or the Plan is in conflict with or is restricted by any Applicable Laws, then the Corporation may reduce, revoke, cancel, clawback or impose different terms and conditions to
the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, to effect such compliance. If the Corporation determines that it is necessary or appropriate for any payments under this Agreement to be delayed in order to avoid additional tax, interest and or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the payments would not be made before the date which is the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment (or upon earlier death).
5.3 Plan Governs. This is the Award Agreement contemplated in Section 2.3(b) of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. A copy of the Plan can be found on the Corporation’s equity award website
or may be obtained from the Executive Compensation Division of the Corporation’s Human Resources Department. No amount of income received by the Grantee pursuant to the RSUs shall be considered compensation for purposes of any pension or retirement plan, insurance plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Corporation.
5.4 Liability for Breach. The Grantee hereby indemnifies the Corporation and holds it harmless from and against any and all damages or liabilities incurred by the Corporation (including liabilities for attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of any breach by the Grantee of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any attempted Disposition in violation of Section 2.1 of this Agreement.
5.5 Tax
Withholding. The Grantee must pay the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign income or employment taxes required to be withheld on the compensation income resulting from the award of, or lapse of restrictions on, the RSUs directly to the Corporation in cash upon request; provided, however, that where the restrictions on Disposition set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement have lapsed the Grantee may satisfy such obligation in whole or in part by requesting the Corporation in writing to withhold from the Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Grantee or by delivering to the Corporation shares of its Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date the restrictions lapse equal to the amount of the aggregate minimum statutory withholding tax obligation to be so satisfied, in accordance with such rules as the Committee may prescribe. If the Grantee does not make such request, the Corporation will automatically net unless it has previously
requested payment in cash. The Corporation may also establish rules, notwithstanding Sections 2.1 and 4.1 hereof, which may differ from those described above in the case of employment taxes if such taxes are deemed to be due before the lapse of restrictions on Disposition. The Corporation’s obligation to issue or credit shares to the Grantee is contingent upon the Grantee’s satisfaction of an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local or other withholding tax requirements, notwithstanding the lapse of the restrictions thereon.
5.6 Forfeiture and Repayment. If, directly or indirectly:
(a) during the course of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation, the Grantee engages in conduct or it is discovered that the Grantee engaged
in conduct that is materially adverse to the interests of the Corporation, including failures to comply with the Corporation’s rules or regulations, fraud, or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities;
- 6 -
(b) during the course of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation and, unless the Grantee has post‑termination obligations or duties owed to the Corporation or its Affiliates pursuant to an individual agreement set forth in subsection (d) below, for one year thereafter, the Grantee engages in solicitation and/or diversion of customers or employees;
(c)
during the course of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation, the Grantee engages in competition with the Corporation or its Affiliates;
(d) following termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Corporation for any reason, with or without Cause, the Grantee violates any post-termination obligations or duties owed to the Corporation or its Affiliates or any agreement with the Corporation or its Affiliates, including without limitation, any employment agreement, confidentiality agreement or other agreement restricting post‑employment conduct; or
(e) any compensation that the Corporation has promised or paid to the Grantee is required to be forfeited and/or repaid to the Corporation pursuant to applicable regulatory requirements;
the
Corporation may cancel all or any portion of this award with respect to the RSUs subject to restrictions on Disposition and/or require repayment of any shares (or the value thereof) or amounts which were acquired from the award. The Corporation shall have sole discretion to determine what constitutes grounds for forfeiture and/or repayment under this Section 5.6, and, in such event, the portion of this award that shall be cancelled and the sums or amounts that shall be repaid. For purposes of the foregoing, Grantee expressly and explicitly authorizes the Corporation to issue instructions, on Grantee’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Corporation to hold the shares of Common Stock and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such shares and/or other amounts to the Corporation.
5.7 Governing

Attachment A
Risk Adjustment/Forfeiture Decision Process
For any performance year in which the Grantee remains a covered employee, the Grantee’s risk performance will be assessed via a Risk Culture Summary Scorecard (“RCSS”) Score or a Performance Management Platform (“PMP”) Risk Goal Rating. If, in any year, the Grantee receives an RCSS Score of 4 or worse, or a PMP Risk Goal Rating of “Below Expectations” or “Unsatisfactory,” the Grantee’s unvested RSUs will be subject to review by the Incentive Compensation Review Committee (“ICRC”) for consideration of forfeiture. If the Grantee is no longer a covered
employee or has left the Corporation, any unvested portion of the RSUs will also be subject to a risk review by the ICRC. The ICRC is generally comprised of senior managers and senior control managers.
In that event, as part of its review, ICRC will ask –
•
Did the Grantee’s score/rating reflect poor risk behavior by the Grantee in a prior year?
•
Did the Grantee receive an award in that year?
If
the answer to both questions is yes, ICRC asks the following questions with respect to each of the designated prior years:
•
Financial Impact: How much did/will the issue cost the Company?
•
Reputational Impact: How much of a regulatory impact did/will it have on the Company?
ICRC
selects the impact answer that falls into the highest category below to determine the impact forfeiture percentage.
