Exhibit 10.36

INCENTIVE AGREEMENT

FOR THE GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

UNDER THE

TIDEWATER INC. 2017 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 

 

 

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of October 16, 2017 (the “Date of Grant”) by and between Tidewater Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tidewater” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), and Larry T. Rigdon (the “Employee”).  Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Agreement have the respective meanings provided in the Tidewater Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

WHEREAS, the Employee has been appointed to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Tidewater on an interim basis, and Employee and Tidewater have entered into an employment agreement, dated as of the Date of Grant (the “Employment Agreement”), which provides that the Employee will receive an additional incentive in the form of time-based restricted stock units payable in common stock of Tidewater, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:

I.
Restricted Stock Units

1.1Restricted Stock Units.  Effective on the Date of Grant, Tidewater hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan the total number of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) specified on the Term Sheet, subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement.  

1.2Award Restrictions.  The RSUs may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.  The Employee shall have no rights, including, but not limited to, voting and dividend rights, in the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs unless and until such shares are issued to the Employee, or as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement.

1.3Vesting Terms.

(a)Upon vesting under the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, each RSU represents the right to receive from Tidewater one share of Common Stock, free of any restrictions, and any amounts, securities, and property notionally credited to the Employee’s Account (as defined in Section 2.1) with respect to such RSU.  

(b)The RSUs shall vest in four equal installments on each of January 16, April 16, July 16, and October 16 of 2018, provided that, except as provided in Section 1.4, the Employee remains employed by the Company on the applicable vesting date.

{N3495756.2}

1.4Effect of Termination of Employment or Change of Control.

(a)If, prior to full vesting under Section 1.3, the Employee’s employment as President and CEO is terminated by the Company without “Cause” (as provided and defined in the Employment Agreement), then all unvested RSUs shall immediately vest on the last day of the Employee’s employment.

(b)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 1.4 or as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, termination of employment shall result in forfeiture of all unvested RSUs.  

(c)In the event of a Change of Control as provided in the Plan, all RSUs shall immediately vest and pay out in shares of Common Stock at the closing of the Change of Control, provided that such event qualifies as a “change of control event” under Section 409A of the Code.

II.
Dividend Equivalents and the Issuance of Shares Upon Vesting

2.1Restricted Stock Unit Account and Dividend Equivalents.  Tidewater shall maintain an account (the “Account”) on its books in the name of the Employee.  Such Account shall reflect the number of RSUs awarded to the Employee, as such number may be adjusted under the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, as well as any additional RSUs, cash, or other securities or property credited as a result of dividend equivalents, administered as follows:

(a)The Account shall be for recordkeeping purposes only, and no assets or other amounts shall be set aside from Tidewater’s general assets with respect to such Account.  

(b)If Tidewater declares a cash dividend or distributes any other securities or property to stockholders between the Date of Grant and the date the RSUs vest and pay out under this Agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to any cash that would have been received as a dividend had the Employee’s outstanding RSUs been shares of Common Stock as of the record date with respect to which such cash dividend is to paid.  Tidewater shall pay any such dividend equivalents currently to the Employee.  

(c)If dividends are declared and paid in the form of shares of Common Stock rather than cash, then the Employee’s Account will be credited with one additional RSU for each share of Common Stock that would have been received as a dividend had the Employee’s outstanding RSUs been shares of Common Stock on such date.  Such additional RSUs credited shall vest or be forfeited at the same time and on the same terms as the RSUs to which they relate.

2.2Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.  As soon as practicable following the date any RSUs vest under this Agreement, but no later than 30 days after such date, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be transferred to the Employee or his or her nominee via book entry free of restrictions or, upon the Employee’s request, Tidewater shall cause a stock certificate to be issued in the name of the Employee or his or her nominee.  Upon issuance of such shares, the Employee is free to hold or

dispose of such shares, subject to applicable securities laws and any internal Company policy then in effect and applicable to the Employee, such as Tidewater’s Policy Statement on Insider Trading and Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines.

III.
Recovery Right of Tidewater

Tidewater has the right to recover any RSUs or shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan to the Employee, if (a) the grant, vesting, or value of such awards was based on the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement; (b) the Employee is subject to Tidewater’s Executive Compensation Recovery Policy; (c) the Employee engaged in intentional misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement; and (d) the effect of the restatement was to decrease the financial results such that such grant would not have been earned or would have had a lesser value.  The Employee accepts the RSUs and shares of Common Stock subject to such recovery rights of Tidewater and in the event Tidewater exercises such rights, the Employee shall promptly return the RSUs or shares of Common Stock to Tidewater upon demand.  If the Employee no longer holds the RSUs or shares of Common Stock at the time of demand by Tidewater, the Employee shall pay to Tidewater, without interest, all cash, securities, or other assets received by the Employee upon the sale or transfer of such shares.  Tidewater may, if it chooses, effect such recovery by withholding from other amounts due to the Employee by the Company.

IV.
Withholding Taxes

Notwithstanding Section 13(b) of the Plan, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act, the Committee may not disapprove of the Employee’s right to make an Election with respect to the RSUs as provided in Section 13(a) of the Plan.  At any time that the Employee is required to pay to the Company an amount required to be withheld under the applicable income tax laws in connection with the vesting and payout of the RSUs, unless the Employee has previously provided the Company with payment of all applicable withholding taxes, Tidewater shall withhold, from the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the vesting of the RSUs, shares with a value equal to the maximum statutory amount required to be withheld.  As provided in the Plan, the value of the shares to be withheld shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Tax Date.

V.
No Contract of Employment Intended

Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employment of the Company, or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Employee’s employment relationship with the Company at any time.

VI.
Binding Effect

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, and successors.

{N3495756.2}3


 

VII.
Amendment, Modification or Termination

The Committee may amend, modify, or terminate any RSUs at any time prior to vesting in any manner not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification, or termination may materially impair the rights of an Employee hereunder without the consent of the Employee.

VIII.
Inconsistent Provisions

The RSUs granted hereby are subject to the provisions of the Plan, as in effect on the date hereof and as it may be amended.  In the event any provision of this Agreement (including the Term Sheet) conflicts with such a provision of the Plan, the Plan provision shall control.  The Employee acknowledges that a copy of the Plan was distributed to the Employee and that the Employee was advised to review such Plan prior to entering into this Agreement.  The Employee waives the right to claim that the provisions of the Plan are not binding upon the Employee and the Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, and successors.

IX.
Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana.

X.
Severability

If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall at any time or to any extent be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect as written, the Employee and Tidewater intend for any court construing this Agreement to modify or limit such provision so as to render it valid and enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by law.  Any such provision that is not susceptible of such reformation shall be ignored so as to not affect any other term or provision hereof, and the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

XI.
Electronic Delivery and Execution of Documents

11.1The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to the Employee’s current or future participation in the Plan or any other equity compensation plan of the Company by electronic means or request Employee’s consent to the terms of an award by electronic means.  Such documents may include the plan, any grant notice, this Agreement, the plan prospectus, and any reports of Tidewater provided generally to Tidewater’s stockholders.  In addition, the Employee may deliver any grant notice or award agreement to the Company or to such third party involved in administering the applicable plan as the Company may designate

{N3495756.2}4


 

from time to time.  By accepting the terms of this Agreement, the Employee also hereby consents to participate in such plans and to execute agreements setting the terms of participation through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

11.2The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read Section 11.1 of this Agreement and consents to the electronic delivery and electronic execution of plan documents as described in Section 11.1.  The Employee acknowledges that he or she may receive from the Company a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically at no cost to the Employee by contacting the Company by telephone or in writing.
