Exhibit 10.13.4
PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
1. | The Grant. Orbital ATK, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to you, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Performance Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) and in the Orbital ATK, Inc. 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a Performance Award as of the date, and for the number of Shares (the “Performance Shares”), which the Company or its agent provided to you separately in writing through an electronic notice and on-line award acceptance web page (the “Electronic Notice and On-Line Award Acceptance”). |
2. | Measuring Period. The Measuring Period for purposes of determining whether the Company will pay you the Performance Shares shall be the three-fiscal-year period beginning January 1, 2017. |
3. | Performance Goals. The Performance Goals for purposes of determining whether the Company will pay you the Performance Shares are set forth in the Performance Accountability Chart, which the Company provided to you separately in writing. |
4. | Payment. The Company will pay you the Performance Shares if and to the extent that the Performance Goals are achieved, as set forth in the Performance Accountability Chart and as determined by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee has the discretion to adjust the payment level downward from the level of performance actually achieved. |
5. | Form and Timing of Payment. The Company will pay you any shares payable pursuant to this Agreement in shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), with one Share issued for each Performance Share earned. The Company will pay you the Performance Shares as soon as practicable after the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, after the end of the Measuring Period, whether, and the extent to which, the Performance Goals have been achieved, but in no event later than 2 ½ months after the end of the Measuring Period. |
6. | Change in Control. If you are involuntarily terminated without Cause in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in Appendix A to this Agreement), the Performance Shares shall immediately be payable at the target performance level, but prorated for your active service time with the Company during the Measuring Period, provided, however, that you have signed a general release and non-competition/non-solicitation agreement provided to you by the Company at that time. However, if you are or become a participant in the Company’s applicable Income Security Plan or any successor or substitute plan (the “ISP”), then, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the ISP), the provisions of the ISP shall govern and take precedence over the terms of this Agreement. |
7. | Forfeiture. In the event of your termination of employment prior to the end of the Measuring Period, other than by reason of death, Disability (as defined in Appendix A to this Agreement), Retirement (as defined in Appendix A to this Agreement), or involuntary termination without Cause (as defined in Appendix A to this Agreement), all of your Performance Shares and rights to payment of any Shares shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited. In the event of your termination of employment prior to the end of the Measuring Period by reason of Disability, Retirement, or involuntary termination without Cause, you shall be entitled to receive, after the end of the Measuring Period, the number of Shares determined by the Committee pursuant to this Agreement, but prorated for your active service time with the Company during the Measuring Period, provided, however, in the event of your involuntary termination without Cause, that you have signed a general release and non-competition/non-solicitation agreement provided to you by the Company at that time. In the event of your death prior to the end of the Measuring Period, your estate shall be entitled to receive, within a practicable time after your death, payment of the Performance Shares at the threshold performance level, but prorated for your active service time with the Company during the Measuring Period. |
8. | Recoupment. If you are or become an “Executive Officer” as defined in the Company’s Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy (the “Recoupment Policy”), you will be subject to the Recoupment Policy. |
9. | Holding Requirement. If you are or become an officer of the Company subject to the Stock Holding Policy for Executive Officers and Certain Members of Senior Management (the “Stock Holding Policy”), you will be required to comply with the Stock Holding Policy. |
10. | Rights. Nothing herein shall be deemed to grant you any rights as a holder of Shares unless and until the Company actually issues the Shares to you as provided herein. |
11. | Income Taxes. You are liable for any federal, state and local income or other taxes applicable upon the grant of the Performance Shares, the receipt of the Shares, or subsequent disposition of the Shares, and you acknowledge that you should consult with your own tax advisor regarding the applicable tax consequences. Upon payment of the Performance Shares and/or issuance of the Shares to you, the Company will pay your required minimum statutory withholding taxes by withholding Shares otherwise to be delivered upon the payment of the Performance Shares with a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) equal to the amount of such taxes. Alternatively, if you notify the Company prior to the end of the Measuring Period, you may elect to pay all or a portion of the minimum statutory withholding taxes by (a) delivering to the Company Shares other than Shares issuable upon the payment of the Performance Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes or (b) paying cash, provided that if you do not deliver such Shares or cash to the Company by the second business day after the payment date of the Performance Shares, the Company will pay your required minimum statutory withholding taxes by withholding Shares otherwise to be delivered upon the payment of the Performance Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes. |
12. | Acknowledgment. This Award of Performance Shares shall not be effective until you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, and acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Prospectus relating to the Plan, by accepting this Award in writing or electronically as specified by the Company or its agent in the Electronic Notice and On-Line Award Acceptance. |
