is between ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and %%FIRST_NAME%-% %%LAST_NAME%-% (the “Participant”), relating to a stock appreciation right granted under the Zebra Technologies Corporation 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used in this SAR Agreement without definitions shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.
1.
Grant of Stock Appreciation Right.
(a)
Grant.
Subject to the provisions of this SAR Agreement and pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant as of the Grant Date a stock appreciation right (the “SAR”) covering %%TOTAL_SHARES_GRANTED,’999,999,999’%-% shares (the “SAR Shares”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Stock”), at a price of %%OPTION_PRICE,’$999,999,999.99’%- per share (the “SAR Price”). The SAR is not issued in tandem with an Option. This
SAR Agreement shall be null and void unless the Participant accepts this SAR Agreement by either (i) electronically accepting this SAR Agreement through the Company’s electronic delivery and acceptance process operated by e*Trade or (ii) executing this SAR Agreement in the space provided below and returning it to the Company, in each case not later than June 28, 2019.
(b)
Term of the SAR. Unless the SAR terminates earlier pursuant to other provisions of the SAR Agreement, the SAR shall
expire at 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”).
(c)
Non-transferability. The SAR shall be nontransferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or as otherwise permitted under the Plan.
2.
Vesting of the SAR.
(a)
General
Vesting Rule. Prior to the Expiration Date, the SAR shall become and be exercisable as follows:
Vesting Date Anniversary
Percentage of SAR Exercisable
Prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date
0%
On and after the first anniversary of the Grant Date
25%
On and after the second anniversary of the
Grant Date, an additional
25%
On and after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional
25%
On and after the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, an additional
25%
provided, however, except as otherwise provided for under this SAR Agreement, the Participant must remain employed by the Company or any Subsidiary continuously through the applicable vesting dates.
(b)
Additional Vesting Rules. Notwithstanding Section 2(a), the SAR shall be subject to the following additional vesting rules in the following circumstances:
a.
Death or Disability. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or any Subsidiary is terminated due to Participant’s death or Disability, any unvested portion of the SAR as of the effective
date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable as of 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment and, together with any unexercised vested portion of the SAR, shall remain exercisable until the earlier of:
(A)
5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the Expiration Date; or
(B)
5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date that is one (1) year after the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment due to the Participant’s
death or Disability.
In the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s beneficiary or estate may exercise all or any portion of the vested SAR. For purposes of this Stock Agreement, “Disability” has the meaning set forth in the employment agreement, if any, between the Company and/or any Subsidiary and the Participant or, if the Participant is not a party to such an agreement, “Disability” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.
b.Retirement or Termination by the Company or any Subsidiary other than for Cause. In the
event the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or any Subsidiary is terminated due to Participant’s Retirement, or by the Company and/or any Subsidiary other than for Cause, the number of SAR Shares that shall be vested and exercisable as of 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall equal the number obtained by (A) multiplying the total number of SAR Shares granted as of the Grant Date under Section 1(a) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from but excluding the Grant Date and to and including the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment, and the denominator of which is 1,461 and (B) subtracting from such product the number, if any, of SAR Shares that vested in accordance with Section 2(a)
and became exercisable prior to the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment. Any unexercised vested portion of the SAR shall remain exercisable until the earlier of:
i.
5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the Expiration Date; or
ii.
5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date that is one (1) year after the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment due to Retirement; or
iii.
5:00
p.m., Central Time, on the date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment by the Company and/or any Subsidiary other than for Cause.
For purposes of this SAR Agreement, “Retirement” means the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment with the Company and/or any Subsidiary on or after age sixty-five (65) or prior to age sixty-five (65) with the approval of the Senior Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer; and “Cause” has the meaning set forth in the employment agreement, if any, between the
Company and/or any Subsidiary and the Participant or, if the Participant is not a party to such an agreement, “Cause” has the meaning, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, set forth in the Plan.
c.
Termination for Cause. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or any Subsidiary is terminated for Cause, any unexercised SAR, whether vested or not, shall expire as of the date of the event giving rise to the termination for Cause, be forfeited, and be considered null
and void.
d.
Other Termination of Employment. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or any Subsidiary is terminated for any reason other than as provided in Section 2(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), any unexercised vested portion of the SAR as of the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall remain exercisable until the earliest of:
(1)
5:00 p.m., Central
Time, on the Expiration Date; or
(2)
5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date that is thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment.
3. Exercise of SAR.
(a) Notice of Exercise. Prior to the Expiration Date, the vested portion of the SAR may be exercised, in whole or in part, by delivering written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 8(i)
and in such form as the Company may require from time to time. Such notice of exercise shall specify the number of SAR Shares to be exercised.
(b) Payment. As of the date of exercise of the SAR, the Company shall settle the exercised portion of the SAR as provided in Section 6.6 of the Plan. The amount of the payment for each SAR Share exercised shall equal (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise, less (ii) the SAR Price for each such exercised SAR Share. The exercised SAR shall be settled in whole shares of Stock, and cash for the value of a fractional share of Stock.
(c) Payment
of Taxes. If the Company is obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax imposed as a result of the exercise of the SAR, the Participant shall be required to pay such amount to the Company, as provided in Section 9.10 of the Plan. Alternatively, subject to Company approval, the Participant may elect to withhold a portion of the SAR exercise payment equal to the statutory tax that would be imposed on the exercise, as provided under Section 9.10 of the Plan. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant is responsible for the tax consequences associated with the grant of the SAR and its exercise.
(d) Death Prior to Exercise.
In the event of the Participant’s death prior to the exercise of any vested portion of the SAR, the Participant’s beneficiary or estate may exercise the vested SAR.
4.
Compliance with Federal and State Law. The Company reserves the right to delay the Participant’s exercise of any portion of the SAR if the Company’s issuance of Stock upon such exercise would violate any applicable federal or state securities laws or any other applicable laws or regulations. The Participant may not sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of
the SAR or any Stock in violation of any applicable law. The Company may postpone issuing and delivering any Stock in payment for the exercise of any portion of the SAR for so long as the Company reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy the following:
(i)
its completing or amending any securities registration or qualification of the Stock or it or the Participant satisfying any exemption from registration under any federal, state or other law, rule or regulation;
(ii)
its
receiving proof it considers satisfactory that a person seeking to exercise the SAR after the Participant’s death is entitled to do so; and
(iii)
the Participant complying with any federal, state or other tax withholding obligations.
5.
Change in Control. Subject to Section 9.8 of the Plan:
(a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (d) of the
Plan in connection with which (i) holders of Shares receive consideration consisting solely of shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (and disregarding the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares) and (ii) this SAR Agreement is assumed or provision is made for the continuation of this SAR Agreement, then subject to Section 4.3 of the Plan, this SAR Agreement shall continue in accordance with its terms, and there shall be substituted for each SAR Share then subject to this SAR Agreement, the number and class of shares into which each outstanding Share shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control. In the event of any such substitution, the SAR Price shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board or Committee (whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive), such adjustments to be made without an increase in the aggregate SAR Price. In the event the Participant’s employment with the
Company and/or any Subsidiary is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason or by Zebra or any Subsidiary other than for Cause on or after the date of such Change in Control, then any unvested portion of the SAR as of the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable and, together with any unexercised vested portion of the SAR, shall remain exercisable until the earlier of:
(i)
5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the Expiration Date; or
(ii)
5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date
that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment.
For purposes of this SAR Agreement, “Good Reason” has the meaning set forth in the employment agreement, if any, between the Company and/or any Subsidiary and the Participant or, if the Participant is not a party to such an agreement, “Good Reason” has the meaning set forth in the Plan.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or (b) of the Plan, or in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or (d) of the Plan as to which Section 5(a) above does not apply, this
SAR Agreement shall be surrendered to the Company by the Participant, and this SAR Agreement shall immediately be canceled by the Company, and the Participant shall receive, within ten (10) days following the effective date of the Change in Control, a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to the number of SAR Shares then subject to this SAR, multiplied by the excess, if any, of the greater of (i) the highest per Share price offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place or (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective date of the Change in Control, over the SAR
Price.
6.
Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. The Participant agrees to, understands, and acknowledges the following:
(a)
Confidential Information. The Participant will be furnished, use or otherwise have access to certain Confidential Information of the Company and/or a Subsidiary. For purposes of this SAR Agreement, “Confidential Information”
means any and all financial, technical, commercial or other information concerning the business and affairs of the Company and/or a Subsidiary that is confidential and proprietary to the Company and/or a Subsidiary, including without limitation:
(i)
information relating to the Company’s or Subsidiary’s past and existing customers and vendors and development of prospective customers and vendors, including specific customer product requirements, pricing arrangements, payment terms, customer lists
and other similar information;
(ii)
inventions, designs, methods, discoveries, works of authorship, creations, improvements or ideas developed or otherwise produced, acquired or used by the Company and/or a Subsidiary;
(iii)
the Company’s or Subsidiary’s proprietary programs, processes or software, consisting of, but not limited, to computer programs in
source or object code and all related documentation and training materials, including all upgrades, updates, improvements, derivatives and modifications thereof and including programs and documentation in incomplete stages of design or research and development;
(iv)
the subject matter of the Company’s or Subsidiary’s patents, design patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, manuals, operating instructions, training materials, and other industrial property, including such information in incomplete stages of design or research and development; and
(v)
other
confidential and proprietary information or documents relating to the Company’s or Subsidiary’s products, business and marketing plans and techniques, sales and distribution networks and any other information or documents that the Company and/or a Subsidiary reasonably regards as being confidential.
The Company and its Subsidiaries devote significant financial, human and other resources to the development of their products, customer base and the general goodwill associated with their business, and the
Company and its Subsidiaries diligently maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of their Confidential Information. Each and every component of the Confidential Information is sufficiently secret to derive economic value from its not being generally known to other persons. While employed by the Company and/or Subsidiary and thereafter, the Participant will hold in the strictest confidence and not use in any manner which is detrimental to the Company or its Subsidiaries or disclose to any individual or entity any Confidential Information, except as may be required by the
Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Participant’s employment.
All Company Materials are and will be the sole property of the Company and/or Subsidiary. The Participant agrees that during and after his or her employment by the Company and/or Subsidiary, the Participant will not remove any Company Materials from the business premises of the Company or a Subsidiary or deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company or a Subsidiary, except as the Participant is
required to do so in connection with performing the duties of his or her employment. The Participant further agrees that, immediately upon the termination of his or her employment for any reason, or during the Participant’s employment if so requested by the Company, the Participant will return all Company Materials and other physical property, and any reproduction thereof, excepting only the Participant’s copy of this Agreement. For purposes of this SAR Agreement, “Company Materials” means documents or other media or tangible items that contain or embody Confidential Information or any other information concerning the business, operations or future/strategic plans of the Company and/or any Subsidiary, whether such documents have been prepared by the Participant
or by others.
(b)
Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. Notwithstanding any provision of this SAR Agreement, (1) during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or (2) during the one-year period commencing on the effective date of the Participant’s termination of employment or (3) prior to the date that is one year after the date of exercise of all or any portion of the SAR, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly:
(i)
employ,
recruit or solicit for employment any person who is (or was within the six (6) months prior to the Participant’s employment termination date) an employee of the Company and/or any Subsidiary; or
(ii)
accept employment or engage in a competing business that may require contact, solicitation, interference or diverting of any of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s customers, or that may result in the disclosure, divulging, or other use of Confidential Information or Company Materials acquired during the Participant’s employment with the
Company or any Subsidiary; or
(iii)
solicit or encourage any customer, channel partner or vendor (or potential customer, channel partner, or vendor of the Company or any Subsidiary with whom the Participant had contact while employed by the Company or any Subsidiary) to terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary. The Participant understands that any person or entity that the Participant contacted during the twelve (12) months prior to the
date of the Participant’s termination of employment for the purpose of soliciting sales from such person or entity shall be regarded as a “potential customer” or “potential channel partner” of the Company to whom the Company or a Subsidiary has a protectable proprietary interest.
(c)
Enforceability of Restrictive Covenants. The scope and duration of the restrictive covenants contained in this SAR
Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect a legitimate, protectable interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(d)
Written Acknowledgement by the Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant, as a condition to the exercise of this SAR, to acknowledge in writing that the Participant has not engaged, and is not in the process of engaging, in any of the activities described in this Section 6.
7. Right
of Setoff; Recoupment.
(a) Right of Setoff. The Company or any Subsidiary may, to the extent permitted by applicable law and which would not trigger tax under Code Section 409A, deduct from and set off against any amounts the Company or Subsidiary may owe to the Participant from time to time, including amounts payable in connection with this SAR Agreement, owed as wages, fringe benefits, or other compensation owed to the Participant, such amounts as may be owed by the Participant to the Company or a Subsidiary, although the Participant shall remain liable
for any part of the Participant’s payment obligation not satisfied through such deduction and setoff. By accepting any SAR granted hereunder, the Participant agrees to any deduction or setoff under this Section 7(a).
(b) Termination of the SAR; Recoupment. Any SAR granted under this SAR Agreement (including any amounts or benefits arising from such SARs), regardless of whether such SARs are otherwise vested, shall terminate automatically and be subject to clawback and recoupment on the date the Participant violates the non-solicit, non-compete or confidentiality provisions in Sections 6(a) or 6(b) or commits an act of theft, embezzlement of funds or fraud involving money or property of the Company or any Subsidiary. Any outstanding, unexercised SARs, whether vested
or unvested, shall terminate automatically as of the date of such violation of Sections 6(a) or 6(b) or commission of an act of theft, embezzlement or fraud and the Participant shall forfeit such SARs. With respect to any SARs that were exercised within the one-year period prior to the date of such violation of Sections 6(a) or 6(b) or commission of an act of theft, embezzlement or fraud, the Participant shall pay the Company, within forty five (45) days of receipt by the Participant of a written demand therefor, or pursuant to such other time frame as the Company, in its sole discretion, agrees to in writing with the Participant, an amount in cash determined by multiplying the number of Shares as to which the SAR was exercised by the difference between (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date
of such exercise and (ii) the SAR Price per SAR (without reduction for any Shares withheld by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c)).
(c) Injunctive Action. The Participant acknowledges that if he or she violates the terms of Sections 6 or 7, the injury that would be suffered by the Company and/or a Subsidiary as a result of a breach of the provisions of this SAR Agreement (including any provision of Section 6(a) or (b) or 7(b)) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Company and/or a Subsidiary for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently,
the Company and/or a Subsidiary will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this SAR Agreement, and the Company and/or Subsidiary will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Company’s or Subsidiary’s rights under this Section 7 or any other remedies of the Company or a Subsidiary, if the Participant breaches any of the provisions of Sections 6(a), 6(b) or 7(b), the
Company will have the right to cancel this SAR Agreement.
(d) Attorneys’ Fees. In addition to the rights available to the Company and its Subsidiaries under Sections 7(b) and (c), if the Participant violates the terms of Sections 6 or 7 at any time, the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Participant of any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in enforcing the
Company’s or a Subsidiary’s rights under this Section 7. In addition to any injunctive relief sought under Section 7(c) and whether or not the Company or any Subsidiary elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company or any Subsidiary does not recover by means of set-off the full amount the Participant owes to the Company or any Subsidiary, calculated as set forth in this Section 7(d), the Participant agrees to immediately pay the unpaid balance to the Company or any Subsidiary.
8.
Miscellaneous
Provisions.
(a) No Service or Employment Rights. No provision of this SAR Agreement or of the SAR granted hereunder shall give the Participant any right to continue in the service or employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, create any inference as to the length of employment or service of the Participant, affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of the Participant, with or without Cause, or give the Participant any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program (other than the Plan) of the
Company or any Subsidiary.
(b) Stockholder Rights. Until the SAR shall have been duly exercised and Stock has been officially recorded as issued on the Company’s official stockholder records, no person or entity shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of such Stock, and adjustments for dividends or otherwise shall be made only if the record date thereof is subsequent to the date such shares are recorded and after the date of exercise and without duplication of any adjustment.
(c) Plan Document Governs. The SAR is granted pursuant to the Plan, and the SAR and
this SAR Agreement are in all respects governed by the Plan and subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof, whether such terms and provisions are incorporated in this SAR Agreement by reference or are expressly cited. Any inconsistency between the SAR Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.
(d) Administration. This SAR Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan.
