(Amended and Restated 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan)
This STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “AGREEMENT”) is made to be effective as of ________________, 20___ (the date on which the COMMITTEE (as defined below) approves the award, referred to as the “GRANT DATE”), by and between Abercrombie & Fitch Co., a Delaware corporation (the “COMPANY”), and _______________________________, an employee of the COMPANY or one of the COMPANY’s subsidiaries
or affiliates (“PARTICIPANT”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan of the COMPANY (the “PLAN”), the Compensation Committee (the “COMMITTEE”) of the Board of Directors of the COMPANY (the “BOARD”) administers the PLAN; and
WHEREAS, the COMMITTEE has determined that an award of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) with respect to _________________ (_________) shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “SHARES”), of the COMPANY should be granted to
PARTICIPANT upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this AGREEMENT;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the parties hereto make the following agreement, intending to be legally bound thereby:
1. Grant of AWARD. Pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in this AGREEMENT and in the PLAN, the COMPANY hereby grants to PARTICIPANT an award of ______________________(__________) SARs (the “AWARD”). Each SAR represents the right to receive, upon exercise of the SAR, pursuant to this AGREEMENT, from the COMPANY, a payment, paid in SHARES of the
COMPANY, having a value equal to the excess of the FAIR MARKET VALUE (as defined in the PLAN), on the date of exercise, of one SHARE of the COMPANY (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11(c) of the PLAN) over the BASE PRICE (as defined below).
2. Terms and Conditions of the AWARD.
(A) BASE PRICE. The “BASE PRICE” shall be $__________ per SHARE (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11(c) of the PLAN).
(B) Exercise of the AWARD. Except as provided under Sections 3 and 4 of this AGREEMENT, no portion of the AWARD may
be exercised until the first anniversary of the date which is approved by the COMMITTEE and then recorded and communicated through the System of Record (hereinafter referred to as the “VESTING DATE”), provided that PARTICIPANT is employed by the COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY on such date. Thereafter, except as otherwise provided in this AGREEMENT, the AWARD may be exercised as follows:
(i) at any time after the first anniversary of the VESTING DATE, as to ________% of the SARs subject to the AWARD (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11(c) of the PLAN), provided that PARTICIPANT is employed by the
COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY on such date of exercise;
(ii) at any time after the second anniversary of the VESTING DATE, as to an additional _________% of the SARs subject to the AWARD (subject to adjustment as provided in Section
11(c) of the PLAN), provided that PARTICIPANT is employed by the COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY on such
date of exercise;
(iii) at any time after the third anniversary of the VESTING DATE, as to an additional _________% of the SARs subject to the AWARD (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11(c) of the PLAN), provided that PARTICIPANT is employed by the COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY on such date of exercise; and
(iv) at any time after the fourth anniversary of the VESTING DATE, as to an additional ___________% of the SARs subject to the AWARD (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11(c) of the PLAN), provided that PARTICIPANT is employed by the
COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY on such date of exercise.
Subject to the other provisions of this AGREEMENT, including Section 4, if the AWARD becomes vested and exercisable as to certain SARs, it shall remain exercisable as to those SARs until the date of expiration of the AWARD term. The COMMITTEE may, but shall not be required to (unless otherwise provided in this AGREEMENT), accelerate the vesting and exercisability of the AWARD.
The grant of the AWARD shall not confer upon PARTICIPANT any right to continue in the employment of the COMPANY or any of the subsidiaries or affiliates of the
COMPANY or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the COMPANY or any of the subsidiaries or affiliates of the COMPANY to modify the terms of or terminate the employment of PARTICIPANT at any time in accordance with applicable law and the COMPANY’s or the subsidiary’s or affiliate’s governing corporate documents.
(C) AWARD Term. The AWARD shall in no event be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the GRANT DATE and shall expire on such date.
(D) Method
of Exercise. The AWARD may be exercised by giving written or electronic notice of exercise to the COMMITTEE, in care of the Human Resources Department of the COMPANY, or such third-party administrator as the Human Resources Department may from time to time designate, stating the number of SARs subject to the AWARD in respect of which the AWARD is being exercised. After proper notice has been made, and subject to Section 2(E) of this AGREEMENT, the COMPANY shall take all such actions as are necessary to deliver an appropriate certificate or other evidence of ownership representing the SHARES due upon the exercise of the AWARD as promptly thereafter as is reasonably practicable.
(E) Tax
Withholding. The COMPANY shall have the right to require PARTICIPANT to remit to the COMPANY an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding requirements in respect of the exercise of the AWARD. Unless PARTICIPANT is notified otherwise, the COMPANY will withhold SHARES of the COMPANY otherwise issuable upon exercise of the AWARD having a FAIR MARKET VALUE on the exercise date equal to the amount required to be withheld (but only to the extent of the minimum amount that must be withheld to comply with applicable federal, state, local and foreign income,
employment and wage tax laws). Pursuant to the PLAN, the COMPANY reserves the right to notify PARTICIPANT prior to exercise of the AWARD, that in lieu of the foregoing, the COMPANY may require that the minimum amount that must be withheld to comply with applicable federal, state, local and foreign income, employment and wage tax laws) be settled in cash either (i) through the sale, on PARTICIPANT’s behalf on the open market, of a number of SHARES of the COMPANY required to cover such amount or (ii) at PARTICIPANT’s option, through a direct cash payment by PARTICIPANT to the COMPANY to cover such amount.
(F) Non-Transferability
of AWARD. The AWARD may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or subject to any lien, obligation or liability of PARTICIPANT to any party (other than the COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY) or assigned or transferred (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by PARTICIPANT, otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and the AWARD shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
(G) Rights of PARTICIPANT as a Stockholder. PARTICIPANT shall have no rights as a stockholder of the COMPANY with
respect to any SHARES of the COMPANY covered by the AWARD until the date of issuance to PARTICIPANT of a certificate or other evidence of ownership representing such SHARES.
3. Change of Control. Unless the BOARD or the COMMITTEE provides otherwise prior to a “Change of Control” (as such term is defined in the PLAN), upon a Change of Control, Section 9 of the PLAN shall govern the treatment of the AWARD.
4. Exercise After Termination of Employment.
(A) Except as the COMMITTEE may at any time provide, if the employment of PARTICIPANT with the
COMPANY and the subsidiaries and affiliates of the COMPANY is terminated for any reason other than death or “total disability” (as defined below), the AWARD may be exercised (to the extent that PARTICIPANT was entitled to do so on the date of the termination of PARTICIPANT’s employment) at any time within three months after such termination of employment, subject to the provisions of Section 2(C) of this AGREEMENT, and shall then expire. To the extent PARTICIPANT was not entitled to exercise the AWARD on the date of termination of PARTICIPANT’s employment, such portion of the AWARD shall expire on the date of such termination.
(B) If PARTICIPANT becomes totally disabled, the AWARD shall become
immediately vested and exercisable in full, and the AWARD may be exercised at any time during the first twelve (12) months that PARTICIPANT receives benefits under the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Long Term Disability Plan, or any successor plan or program, subject to the provisions of Section 2(C) of this AGREEMENT, and shall then expire.
(C) If PARTICIPANT dies while employed by the COMPANY or one of the subsidiaries or affiliates of the COMPANY, the AWARD shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full by PARTICIPANT’s estate or by the person who acquires the right to exercise the AWARD upon PARTICIPANT’s
death by bequest or inheritance. The AWARD may be exercised at any time within one year after the date of PARTICIPANT’s death, or such other period as the COMMITTEE may at any time provide, subject to the provisions of Section 2(C) of this AGREEMENT, and shall then expire.
(D) For purposes of this AGREEMENT, “total disability” shall have the definition set forth in the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Long Term Disability Plan, which definition is incorporated herein by reference.
5. Forfeiture of AWARD.
(A) The AWARD shall be subject to the following additional forfeiture conditions, to which PARTICIPANT, by accepting the
AWARD, agrees. If any of the events specified in Section 5(B)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this AGREEMENT occurs (a “FORFEITURE EVENT”), the following forfeiture will result:
(i) The unexercised portion of the AWARD held by PARTICIPANT, whether or not vested, will be immediately forfeited and canceled upon the occurrence of the FORFEITURE EVENT; and
(ii) PARTICIPANT will be obligated to repay to the COMPANY, in cash, within five business days after demand is made therefor by the
COMPANY, the total amount of “AWARD GAIN” (as defined below) realized by PARTICIPANT upon each exercise of the AWARD that occurred on or after (I) the date that is months prior to the occurrence of the FORFEITURE EVENT, if the FORFEITURE EVENT occurred while PARTICIPANT was employed by the COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY, or (II) the date that is months prior to the date PARTICIPANT’s employment by the COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY terminated, if the FORFEITURE
EVENT occurred after PARTICIPANT ceased to be so employed. For purposes of this Section 5, the term “AWARD GAIN” shall mean, in respect of a given AWARD exercise, the product of (x) the FAIR MARKET VALUE per SHARE of the COMPANY at the date of such exercise (without regard to any subsequent change in the market price of SHARES) minus the BASE PRICE times (y) the number of SARs as to which the AWARD was exercised at that date.
(B) The forfeitures specified in Section 5(A) of this AGREEMENT will be triggered upon the occurrence of any one of the following FORFEITURE EVENTS at any time during PARTICIPANT’s employment by the COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the
COMPANY, or during the -month period following termination of such employment:
(i) PARTICIPANT, acting alone or with others, directly or indirectly, (I) engages, either as an employee, employer, consultant, advisor, or director, or as an owner, investor, partner, or stockholder unless PARTICIPANT’s interest is insubstantial, in any business in an area or region in which the COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY conducts business at the date the event occurs, which is directly in competition with a business then conducted by the COMPANY or
a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY; (II) induces any customer or supplier of the COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY, with which the COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY has a business relationship, to curtail, cancel, not renew, or not continue his or her or its business with the COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY;
or (III) induces, or attempts to influence, any employee of or service provider to the COMPANY or a subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY to terminate such employment or service. The COMMITTEE shall, in its discretion, determine which lines of business the COMPANY and the subsidiaries and affiliates of the COMPANY conduct on any particular date and which third parties may reasonably be deemed to be in competition with the COMPANY or any subsidiary
or affiliate of the COMPANY. For purposes of this Section 5(B)(i), PARTICIPANT’s interest as a stockholder is insubstantial if it represents beneficial ownership of less than five percent of the outstanding class of stock, and PARTICIPANT’s interest as an owner, investor, or partner is insubstantial if it represents ownership, as determined by the COMMITTEE in its discretion, of less than five percent of the outstanding equity of the entity;
(ii) PARTICIPANT discloses, uses, sells, or otherwise transfers, except in the course of employment with or other service to the COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY,
any confidential or proprietary information of the COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY, including but not limited to information regarding the COMPANY’s or any subsidiary’s or affiliate’s current and potential customers, organization, employees, finances, and methods of operations and investments, so long as such information has not otherwise been disclosed to the public or is not otherwise in the public domain (other than by PARTICIPANT’s breach of this provision), except as required by law or pursuant to legal process, or PARTICIPANT makes statements or representations, or otherwise communicates, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or takes any other action which may, directly
or indirectly,
disparage or be damaging to the COMPANY or any of the subsidiaries or affiliates of the COMPANY or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations, except as required by law or pursuant to legal process;
(iii) PARTICIPANT fails to cooperate with the
COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY in any way, including, without limitation, by making PARTICIPANT available to testify on behalf of the COMPANY or such subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, or otherwise fails to assist the COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY in any way, including, without limitation, in connection with any such action, suit, or proceeding by providing information and meeting and consulting
with members of management of, other representatives of, or counsel to, the COMPANY or such subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY, as reasonably requested; or
(iv) PARTICIPANT, during the period PARTICIPANT is employed by the COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY and for months thereafter (the “NON-SOLICITATION PERIOD”), alone or in conjunction with another person, (I) interferes with or harms, or attempts to interfere with or harm, the relationship
of the COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY with any person who at any time was a customer or supplier of the COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY or otherwise had a business relationship with the COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY; or (II) hires, solicits for hire, aids in or facilitates the hire, or causes to be hired, either as an employee, contractor or consultant, any person who is currently employed,
or was employed at any time during the six-month period prior thereto, as an employee, contractor or consultant of the COMPANY or any subsidiary or affiliate of the COMPANY.
(C) Despite the conditions set forth in this Section 5, PARTICIPANT is not hereby prohibited from engaging in any activity set forth in Section 5(B) of this AGREEMENT, including but not limited to competition with the COMPANY and the subsidiaries and affiliates of the COMPANY. Rather,
the non-occurrence of the FORFEITURE EVENTS set forth in Section 5(B) of this AGREEMENT is a condition to PARTICIPANT’s right to realize and retain value from the AWARD, and the consequences under the PLAN and this AGREEMENT if PARTICIPANT engages in an activity giving rise to any such FORFEITURE EVENTS are the forfeitures specified therein and as otherwise provided in this AGREEMENT. The COMPANY and PARTICIPANT shall not be precluded by this provision or otherwise from entering into other agreements concerning the subject matter of Sections 5(A) and 5(B) of this AGREEMENT.
(D) The COMMITTEE may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part the COMPANY’s right to forfeiture under this Section 5, but no such
waiver shall be effective unless evidenced by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the COMPANY.
(E) In addition to the above, PARTICIPANT agrees that any of the conduct described in Sections 5(B)(i), (ii) and (iv) of this AGREEMENT would result in irreparable injury and damage to the COMPANY for which the COMPANY would have no adequate remedy at law. PARTICIPANT agrees that in the event of such occurrence or any threat thereof, the COMPANY shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such conduct
and threatened conduct and/or continued conduct by PARTICIPANT and/or any and all persons and/or entities acting for and/or with PARTICIPANT, and without having to prove damages and to all costs and expenses incurred by the COMPANY in seeking to enforce the COMPANY’s rights under this AGREEMENT. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies to which the COMPANY may be entitled at law or in equity. PARTICIPANT agrees that the covenants of PARTICIPANT contained in Section 5(B) of this AGREEMENT are reasonable.
6. Restrictions
on Transfers of SHARES. Anything contained in this AGREEMENT or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, the COMPANY may postpone the issuance and delivery of SHARES of the COMPANY upon any exercise of the AWARD until completion of any stock exchange listing or registration or other qualification of such SHARES under any state, federal or foreign law, rule or regulation as the COMPANY may consider appropriate; and may require PARTICIPANT when exercising the AWARD to make such representations and furnish such information as the COMPANY may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance of the SHARES
in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. SHARES of the COMPANY issued and delivered upon exercise of the AWARD shall be subject to such restrictions on trading, including appropriate legending of certificates to that effect, as the COMPANY, in its discretion, shall determine are necessary to satisfy applicable laws, rules and regulations.
7. PLAN as Controlling; PARTICIPANT Acknowledgments. All terms and conditions of the PLAN applicable to the AWARD which are not set forth in this AGREEMENT shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference. In the event that any term or condition of this AGREEMENT is inconsistent
with the terms and conditions of the PLAN, the PLAN shall be deemed controlling. PARTICIPANT acknowledges receipt of a copy of the PLAN and of the Prospectus related to the PLAN. PARTICIPANT also acknowledges that all decisions, determinations and interpretations of the COMMITTEE in respect of the PLAN, this AGREEMENT and the AWARD shall be final, conclusive and binding on PARTICIPANT, all other persons interested in the PLAN and stockholders of the COMPANY.
8. Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by applicable federal or foreign law, this AGREEMENT shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, except with respect to provisions relating to the covenants set forth in Section 5 of this AGREEMENT, which shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Ohio.
9. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of the COMPANY and of PARTICIPANT enumerated in this AGREEMENT shall be cumulative and, except as expressly provided otherwise in this AGREEMENT, none shall exclude any other rights or remedies allowed by law or in equity, and each of said rights or remedies may be exercised and enforced concurrently.
10. Captions. The captions contained in this AGREEMENT are included only for convenience of reference and do not define, limit, explain or modify this AGREEMENT or its interpretation, construction or meaning and are in no way to be construed as a part of this AGREEMENT.
11. Severability. If
any provision of this AGREEMENT or the application of any provision hereof to any person or any circumstance shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then such determination shall not affect any other provision of this AGREEMENT or the application of said provision to any other person or circumstance, all of which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and it is the intention of each party to this AGREEMENT that if any provision of this AGREEMENT is susceptible of two or more constructions, one of which would render the provision enforceable and the other or others of which would render the provision unenforceable, then the provision shall have the meaning which renders it enforceable.
12. Number and Gender. When used in this AGREEMENT, the number and gender of each pronoun shall be construed to be such number and gender as the
context, circumstances or its antecedent may require.
13. Entire Agreement. This AGREEMENT, including the PLAN incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the COMPANY and PARTICIPANT in respect of the subject matter of this AGREEMENT, and this AGREEMENT supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements between the parties hereto in connection with the subject matter of this AGREEMENT. No
officer, employee or other servant or agent of the
COMPANY, and no servant or agent of PARTICIPANT, is authorized to make any representation, warranty or other promise not contained in this AGREEMENT. Other than as set forth in Section 11(e) of the PLAN, no change, termination or attempted waiver of any of the provisions of this AGREEMENT shall be binding upon either party hereto unless contained in a writing signed by the party to be charged.
14. Successors and Assigns of the COMPANY. The obligations of the COMPANY under this AGREEMENT shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the
COMPANY, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and businesses of the COMPANY.
