APPENDIX A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

1. Award. The Company hereby grants to the Employee under the Plan an award of Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement (the Agreement being comprised of the Notice of Award, Appendix A and Appendix B). If and when any Restricted Stock Units are paid to the Employee, par value for the Shares issued will be deemed paid by the Employee by past services rendered by the Employee. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement or clear from the context, capitalized terms used in this Agreement will have the same meaning as in the Plan.

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a right to receive one Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in the Agreement, Employee will have no right to payment of any such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Unit will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units will be made in whole Shares only.

3. Vesting Schedule. The Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will vest in the Employee subject to the performance-based and service-based vesting requirements set forth in the Agreement. Restricted Stock Units shall not vest in the Employee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Employee remains a Service Provider through the applicable vesting dates, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

4. Forfeiture upon Termination of Service. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if the Employee ceases to be a Service Provider for any or no reason while any RSUs remain unvested, the then-unvested Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement will immediately be forfeited at no cost to the Company and the Employee will have no further rights thereunder.

5. Committee Discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Committee, in its discretion, may (a) modify the performance and service vesting requirements applicable to the RSUs; or (b) accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the RSUs, except that, except in connection with a Change of Control, the Committee may not accelerate the vesting of any RSUs if the Employee is a “covered employee” under Section 162(m) of the Code for the year of acceleration and the acceleration would, in and of itself, cause the Award to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m). The Committee’s authority under clause (a) of the preceding sentence, when exercised in connection with a pending or expected (that is, expected to occur in the near future) Change of Control, shall be exercised only by the Committee as constituted immediately prior to the Change of Control. The Committee’s authority under clause (a) of the first preceding sentence of this paragraph 5, when exercised not in connection with a pending or expected (in the near future) Change of Control, must be exercised and communicated to the Employee no later than the ninetieth (90th) day of the Fiscal Year (or other performance period of at least twelve months) to which the change will apply (and, except as may be provided in the Plan, no such change may divest the Employee of any previously vested shares). If the Committee accelerates any RSUs under this paragraph 5, such RSUs will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 5, if the Committee, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of all or a portion of the RSUs, the payment of such accelerated RSUs shall be made as soon as practicable upon or following the accelerated vesting date, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the vesting date of the accelerated RSUs. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the vesting of all or a portion of any unvested RSUs is accelerated in connection with the Employee’s termination as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), other than due to death, and if both (a) the Employee is a “specified employee” within the

 

2014 TSR LTIP


meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination, and (b) the payment of such accelerated RSUs would result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to the Employee within the six (6) month period following the Employee’s termination, then the payment of such accelerated RSUs will not be made until the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s termination, unless the Employee dies following his or her termination, in which case, the RSUs will be paid in Shares to the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death. Furthermore, if payment of accelerated RSUs in accordance with the preceding above would cause the imposition of additional tax on the Employee under Section 409A, and if the additional tax would be avoided by instead making payment in accordance with the original vesting schedule of the RSUs, payment of the accelerated RSUs shall be made at the time or times that the RSUs otherwise would have vested and been paid (as determined by the Committee). It is the intent of this Agreement to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the RSUs provided under this Agreement or Shares issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or comply. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code.

6. Change of Control.

(a) Subject to paragraph 5, in the event of a Change of Control then the final day of the Performance Period will be deemed the date prior to the Change of Control and the Share Price for purposes of calculating the percentage of the RSUs earned will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price for the fourteen (14) trading days ending on and including the day prior to the Change of Control. The percentage of the RSUs that is not earned will be permanently forfeited.

(b) On the first trading day on or after the date of a Change of Control, fifty percent (50%) of the number of RSUs earned under paragraph 6(a) based on relative TSR performance, rounded down, will vest, and an additional one-forty-eighth (1/48) of the earned RSUs will vest each month after the date of the Change of Control (on the same day of the month as the date of the Change of Control or the final day of the month if there is no corresponding day), so that 100% of the RSUs will be vested two (2) years from the date of the Change of Control, in each case subject to the Employee remaining a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date. If Employee’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause by such successor company within twelve months of the applicable Change of Control, then any unvested RSUs will vest as to 100% of those unvested RSUs. Notwithstanding the preceding or any contrary provision of this Agreement, if the Employee’s employment terminates in circumstances that otherwise would entitle the Employee to acceleration of vesting of this Award under the TIBCO Software Inc. Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan or the Plan, the Employee will receive accelerated vesting under either the provisions of this paragraph 6, the Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan, or the Plan, whichever results in greater vesting for the Employee.

(c) If the RSUs are not assumed in connection with the Change of Control, then, as provided in Section 10.1 of the Plan, 100% of the RSUs earned under paragraph 6(a) shall become fully vested and free of any restrictions on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control.

7. Payment after Vesting. Any RSUs that vest will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) as soon as practicable, but in all cases within sixty (60) days, following the vesting date of such RSUs. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Employee under this Agreement will, if the Employee is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of the Employee’s estate. Any such administrator or executor must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

8. Withholding of Taxes. The Company or the Employer will withhold a portion of the Shares that has an aggregate market value sufficient to pay all Tax Obligations required to be withheld by the Company or the Employer with respect to any RSUs, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, requires or permits the

 

2014 TSR LTIP    -2-   


Employee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding obligations. The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit the Employee to satisfy his or her Tax Obligations, in whole or in part by one or more of the following (without limitation): (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld, or (c) selling a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to Employee through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be issued in settlement of the vested Restricted Stock Units unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) will have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Shares. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company or the Employer has the right to retain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Employee, cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares. All Tax Obligations related to the award of Restricted Stock Units and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Employee. By accepting this award, the Employee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and to any additional cash withholding as provided for in this paragraph 8. Only whole Shares will be withheld or sold to satisfy any tax withholding obligations pursuant to this paragraph 8. The number of Shares withheld will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with a cash refund to the Employee for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation (pursuant to such procedures as the Company may specify from time to time). To the extent that the cash refund described in the preceding sentence is not administratively feasible, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the number of Shares withheld will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share and, in accordance with this paragraph 8 and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company will retain from salary or other amounts payable to the Employee cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any additional tax withholding.

9. Section 280G.

(a) In the event that the benefits provided to the Employee under this Agreement when combined with any other severance and other benefits otherwise payable to Employee (collectively the “Severance Benefits”), if any, (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Agreement, Employee would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Employee’s benefits under this Agreement will be either:

(i) delivered in full, or

(ii) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Severance Benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”),

whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of Severance Benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such Severance Benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in severance and other benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments in reverse chronological order (i.e., the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the excise tax will be the first cash payment to be reduced), (2) cancellation of equity awards granted within the twelve-month period prior to a “change of control” (as determined under Code Section 280G) that are deemed to have been granted contingent upon the change of control (as determined under Code Section 280G), in the reverse order of date of grant of the awards (i.e., the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first), (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards in the reverse order of date of grant of the awards (i.e., the vesting of the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first) and (4)

 

2014 TSR LTIP    -3-   


reduction of continued employee benefits in reverse chronological order (i.e., the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the Excise Tax will be the first benefit to be reduced). In no event will Employee have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions.

(b) Unless the Company and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this paragraph 9 will be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Accountants”). For purposes of making the calculations required by this paragraph 9, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Employee will furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this paragraph. The Company will bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this paragraph 9. The Accountants shall provide their determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company and the Employee within 10 days after the first of the following events to occur and as a result cause a distribution of the Severance Benefits: (A) the Change of Control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder) and (B) Employee’s final day of employment. If the Accountants determine that no Excise Tax is payable by the Employee with respect to the Severance Benefits, it shall furnish the Employee with an opinion to the Company that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such payments and, absent manifest error, such Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Employee.

10. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

11. Dividend Equivalents. Employee shall have no right to the payment of any dividends or distributions until such time as the Shares have been actually issued to the Employee with respect to the vested Restricted Stock Units except to the limited extent determined by the Committee in accordance with the Plan.

12. No Effect on Employment. The terms of the Employee’s employment with his or her Employer are governed by applicable local law and any relevant employment agreement.

13. Labor Law. By accepting this award of Restricted Stock Units, the Employee acknowledges that: (a) the award of Restricted Stock Units is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units; (b) all determinations with respect to any future awards, including, but not limited to, the times when the Restricted Stock Units shall be granted, the number of Shares subject to each award of Restricted Stock Units and the time or times when Restricted Stock Units shall vest, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (c) the Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (d) the value of this Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any; (e) these Restricted Stock Units are not part of the Employee’s normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (f) the vesting of this Restricted Stock Units ceases upon termination of employment

for any reason except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan or this Agreement; (g) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (h) these Restricted Stock Units have been granted to the Employee in the Employee’s status as an employee of the Company or the Employer; (i) any claims resulting from these Restricted Stock Units shall be enforceable, if at all, against the Company; and (j) there shall be no additional obligations for any subsidiary or affiliate employing the Employee as a result of these Restricted Stock Units.

APPENDIX B

VESTING REQUIREMENTS

Your Award of RSUs eligible to vest for the Performance Period shall be earned depending upon achievement of goals related to the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock for the Performance Period, as compared to the TSR of each of the companies included in the S&P 500 Information Technology Index (^IXIC) (the “Index”) for the same Performance Period, as set forth below. For the avoidance of doubt, only those companies that appear on the Index at both the beginning and the end of the Performance Period shall be used in the calculation to determine the number of RSUs that will vest for the Performance Period.

The percentage of the Target Number of RSUs in which you will be eligible to vest will range from zero percent (0%) of the Target Number to two hundred percent (200%) of the Target Number, all depending on actual performance versus the goal and subject to the service-based vesting requirements below. The number of RSUs that actually are earned (if any) shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and certified in writing within thirty (30) days following the end of the Performance Period.

The number of RSUs that will be earned for the Performance Period will be determined as follows:

 

  1. If the Company’s TSR is not better than the TSR of at least 25% of the companies that make up the Index on the last day of the Performance Period, with the Company added to that group if it is not included in the Index (together, the “Target Companies”), then you will earn no RSUs.

 

  2. If the Company’s TSR is better than the TSR of 25% of the Target Companies, but no more than 25% of the Target Companies, then you will earn 20% of the Target Number of RSUs.

 

  3. If the Company’s TSR is better than the TSR of 50% of the Target Companies, but no more than 50% of the Target Companies, then you will earn 100% of the Target Number of RSUs.

 

  4. If the Company’s TSR is better than the TSR of 75% of the Target Companies, but no more than 75% of the Target Companies, then you will earn 180% of the Target Number of RSUs.

 

  5. If the Company’s TSR is better than the TSR of more than 75% of the Target Companies other than the Company, then you will earn 200% of the Target Number of RSUs.

 

  6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s TSR over the measurement period is not greater than 0%, then any amounts that would otherwise be earned under paragraph 4 will be disregarded and you will earn only 100% of the RSUs.

 

  7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s TSR over the measurement period is not greater than 0%, then any amounts that would otherwise be earned under paragraph 5 will be disregarded and you will earn only 180% of the RSUs.

 

  8. Subject to paragraphs 6 and 7, if the Company’s TSR is between the levels stated in paragraphs 2 through 5, then the performance will be interpolated linearly between the stated levels.

“TSR” shall mean the total return of a share of publicly-traded common stock (of the Company or of a company in the Target Group) for the Performance Period, calculated as the change in share price and assuming immediate reinvestment of any dividends or other distributions back into the common stock on which the dividends or distributions were paid. Share price as of the beginning and ending of the Performance Period shall mean the average of the daily volume-weighted average price for each trading day from June 23 through, and including, August 10 for each of the first and last day of the Performance Period, provided, however, that if the Company is

 

2014 TSR LTIP


releasing its earnings announcement on June 23, 2016 or the day thereafter, then the calculation of the share price for the end of the Performance Period with respect to the Company and each member of the Target Group shall begin on Monday, June 27, 2016.

Service Based Vesting Requirements

Except as set forth in paragraph 6 of the Terms and Conditions, (i) fifty percent (50%) of the number of RSUs earned, rounded down, will vest on the first trading day after the date that the Compensation Committee certifies in writing how many RSUs are earned (the “Initial Vesting Date”), (ii) 25% of the number of RSUs earned, rounded down, will vest on the first trading day after the first anniversary of the Initial Vesting Date and (iii) the remainder of the RSUs earned will vest on the first trading day after the second anniversary of the Initial Vesting Date.
