Exhibit 10-a-1
B/E AEROSPACE, INC. 2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Award Agreement”) is made effective as of November 15, 2016 (the “Date of Grant”) between B/E Aerospace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Werner Lieberherr (the “Participant”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the BE Aerospace, Inc. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant the Restricted Stock Units provided for herein to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms and conditions set forth herein;
WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Rockwell Collins, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Rockwell”), a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Rockwell (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, dated October 23, 2016, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rockwell;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1.Grant of the Award. Subject to the provisions of this Award Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant, an aggregate of 67,282 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) each entitling the Participant to receive one share of Company common stock (the “Shares”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan or, in the event of the Merger, a cash payment as described in Section 7. Fifty percent (50%) of the RSUs shall be subject to time-based vesting (the “Time-Based RSUs”) and fifty percent (50%) of the RSUs shall be subject to performance-based vesting (the “Performance-Based RSUs”). The aggregate number of RSUs set forth above, as well as the 50%-50% allocation between Time-Based RSUs and Performance-Based RSUs, are based on the assumed achievement of target performance with respect to the Performance-Based RSUs; it being understood and agreed that the actual number of Performance-Based RSUs that are earned by the Participant may be more or less than the target number of 33,641 (the “Target Performance Award”).
2.Incorporation of Plan and the Transaction Bonus Agreement. The Participant acknowledges receipt of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and represents that he is familiar with its terms and provisions. This Award Agreement and the RSUs shall be subject to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Plan shall govern. Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the RSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Bonus Agreement between the Participant and the Company, dated as of October 23, 2016 (the “TBA”) (including, without limitation, Section 2 of the TBA), which are incorporated herein by reference.
3.Vesting Schedule. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Participant shall vest in the RSUs as follows, unless previously vested or canceled in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or this Award Agreement:
(a) Time-Based RSUs. On each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant, thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the Time-Based RSUs shall vest and no longer be subject to cancellation pursuant to Section 6 or the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 9 hereof (each date, a “Time Vesting Date”).
(b) Performance-Based RSUs. The methodology for determining the final number of Performance-Based RSUs that will be earned and vested as of December 31, 2019 (the “Performance Vesting Date”) based on Company performance over the three years of the Performance Period (2017, 2018 and 2019) is set forth on Exhibit 1 attached hereto, which is an integral part of this Award Agreement.
4.Termination without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason. In the event of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company prior to the vesting of the RSUs hereunder, on account of a termination without Cause or a resignation for Good Reason, all of the unvested RSUs shall vest immediately and shall no longer be subject to cancellation pursuant to Section 6 or the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 9 hereof. Notwithstanding any relevant provision in an applicable written employment agreement between the Participant and the Company that provides for vesting of all equity awards in such a situation, the exact number of Performance-Based RSUs that will vest and subsequently be delivered upon settlement will be equal to the greater of (i) the Participant’s Target Performance Award or (ii) the non-prorated amount that would be earned and vested in accordance with Exhibit 1 as if the three-year Performance Period had been completed based upon actual performance achieved through the most recently completed year (if any) of the relevant Performance Period (with the Cumulative Average Annual Ranking (as defined in Exhibit 1) determined based on the Average Annual Ranking for the completed year or years in the Performance Period). For purposes of this Award Agreement, the terms “Cause” and “Good Reason” shall have the meanings assigned to them in the applicable written employment agreement between the Participant and the Company.
5.Death or Disability. If, prior to the vesting of the RSUs hereunder, the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates due to death or Disability, all of the unvested RSUs shall vest immediately and shall no longer be subject to cancellation pursuant to Section 6 or the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 9 hereof. Notwithstanding any relevant provision in an applicable written employment agreement between the Participant and the Company that provides for vesting of all equity awards in such a situation, the exact number of Performance-Based RSUs that will vest and subsequently be delivered upon settlement will be calculated assuming maximum performance was achieved (i.e., 200% of the Target Performance Award).
6.Other Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise provided in a written employment agreement between the Participant and the Company, if, prior to the vesting of the RSUs hereunder, the Company terminates the Participant’s employment for Cause or the Participant resigns his or her employment absent Good Reason, all of the unvested RSUs shall be cancelled immediately without consideration as of the date of such termination.
7.Merger. If the Merger is consummated prior to the vesting of all of the RSUs hereunder, all of the unvested RSUs shall convert into a cash-based award (the “Cash Award”) with an initial value equal to the sum of (a) the product of (i) the Merger Consideration (with the portion of the Merger Consideration that consists of shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) converted to a value equal to the product of (x) the number of such shares of Parent Common Stock and (y) the Parent Stock Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) and (ii) the number of such unvested RSUs, assuming maximum performance was achieved in the case of the Performance-Vesting RSUs (i.e., 200% of the Target Performance Award), and (b) the aggregate value of any dividend
equivalent rights accumulated with respect to such unvested RSUs prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The Cash Award shall be credited with interest at the prime rate compounded quarterly as published in the Wall Street Journal as of the Effective Time during the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending on the date of payment of the Cash Award. In addition, if the Participant’s federal, state or local income tax rate increases between the Effective Time and the date of payment of the Cash Award, the Cash Award shall be increased such that, after payment by the Participant of all taxes on the Cash Award, the Participant retains an amount equal to the after-tax amount of the Cash Award that would have resulted had the Participant’s federal, state and local income tax rates as of the Effective Time applied to the Cash Award. If the Participant’s federal, state or local income tax rate decreases between the Effective Time and the date of payment of the Cash Award, the Cash Award shall be decreased by an amount equal to the excess of the after-tax amount of the Cash Award otherwise due over the after-tax amount of the Cash Award that would have resulted had the Participant’s federal, state and local income tax rates as of the Effective Time applied to the Cash Award. The Cash Award shall vest and be paid in cash to the Participant on the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (y) the date of termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason; provided that the Cash Award shall be cancelled immediately without consideration upon a resignation by the Participant absent Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement between the Participant and Rockwell, dated October 21, 2016) prior to the first anniversary of Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 4, 5, 6, 11 and 12 of this Award Agreement shall not apply to the Cash Award. This Section 7 shall be void ab initio if the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms.
8.Other Change in Control. If the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, upon a Change in Control (other than the Merger) prior to the vesting of all of the RSUs hereunder, all of the unvested RSUs shall vest immediately and shall no longer be subject to cancellation pursuant to Section 6 or the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 9 hereof. Notwithstanding any relevant provision in an applicable written employment agreement between the Participant and the Company that provides for vesting of all equity awards in such a situation, the exact number of Performance-Based RSUs that will vest and subsequently be delivered upon settlement will be calculated assuming maximum performance was achieved (i.e., 200% of the Target Performance Award).
9.Nontransferability of RSUs and Cash Award. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the RSUs and the Cash Award may not be transferred, pledged, alienated, assigned or otherwise attorned other than by last will and testament or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Committee may, subject to such terms and conditions as it shall specify, permit the transfer of the RSUs or the Cash Award, including, without limitation, for no consideration to a charitable institution or a Permitted Transferee. Any RSUs or Cash Award transferred to a charitable institution may not be further transferable without the Committee’s approval and any of the RSUs or Cash Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall be further transferable only by last will and testament or the laws of descent and distribution or, for no consideration, to another Permitted Transferee of the Participant.
10.No Rights as a Stockholder. The RSUs and the Cash Award do not entitle the Participant to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, the right to vote Shares unless and until the Participant or his nominee becomes the holder of record of Shares.
11.Dividends Equivalent Rights. The Participant shall accumulate dividend equivalent rights on all RSUs in an amount equal to the cash dividends paid with respect to the Shares on each date prior to settlement of the Participant’s RSUs (or the Effective Time of a Change in Control, if earlier) that a cash dividend is paid on Shares; provided, however, that no dividend equivalent rights shall accumulate following the conversion to the Cash Award. The dividend equivalent rights shall be held by the
Company as a bookkeeping account and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as the corresponding RSUs and shall accumulate and be paid if and when the corresponding RSUs are settled.
12.Settlement of RSUs. Unless the Participant has executed and not revoked a valid deferral election under the B/E Aerospace, Inc. 2010 Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended (the “DC Plan”) (or has elected an alternative investment allocation with respect to RSUs deferred under the DC Plan), settlement of vested RSUs shall be made within thirty (30) days following the applicable Time Vesting Date or Performance Vesting Date (or such earlier date on which the RSUs vest pursuant to this Award Agreement; but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the applicable vesting date occurs). Settlement will be made by delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares if counsel to the Company determines that such sale or delivery would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation, or agreement of the Company with any securities exchange or association upon which the Shares are listed or quoted. If the Participant has executed and not revoked a valid deferral election, settlement shall be made in accordance with the DC Plan.
13.No Entitlements.
(a)No Right to Continued Employment. This award is not an employment agreement, and nothing in this Award Agreement or the Plan shall (i) alter the Participant’s status as an “at-will” employee of the Company, subject to the terms of any applicable employment agreement, (ii) be construed as guaranteeing the Participant’s employment by the Company or as giving the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company during any period (including without limitation the period between the Date of Grant and the applicable vesting date in accordance with Section 3) or (iii) be construed as giving the Participant any right to be reemployed by the Company following any termination of Employment.
(b)No Right to Future Awards. This award of RSUs and all other equity-based awards under the Plan are discretionary. This award does not confer on the Participant any right or entitlement to receive another award of RSUs or any other equity-based or cash-based award at any time in the future or in respect of any future period.
(c)No Effect on Future Employment Compensation. The Company has made this award of RSUs to the Participant in its sole discretion. This award does not confer on the Participant any right or entitlement to receive compensation in any specific amount for any future fiscal year, and does not diminish in any way the Company’s discretion to determine the amount, if any, of the Participant’s compensation. In addition, this award of RSUs and the Cash Award are not part of the Participant’s base salary or wages and will not be taken into account in determining any other employment-related rights the Participant may have, such as rights to pension or severance pay.
14.Taxes and Withholding. No later than the date as of which an amount with respect to the RSUs or the Cash Award first becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for applicable income tax purposes, the Participant shall pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee, to the extent the RSUs become settled in Shares rather than being converted into the Cash Award, the minimum required withholding obligations with respect to the RSUs may be settled in Shares, including Shares that are issued in settlement of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company to settle the RSUs and the Cash Award under this Award Agreement shall be conditional upon such payment
or arrangements and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant, including, without limitation, by withholding Shares to be delivered upon settlement of the RSUs.
15.Securities Laws. In connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs and the Cash Award the Participant will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Award Agreement.
16.Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)Notices. Any notice necessary under this Award Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at the principal executive office of the Company and to the Participant at the address appearing in the records of the Company for the Participant or to either party at such other address as either party hereto may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may deliver notices to the Participant by means of email or other electronic means that are generally used for employee communications. Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt thereof by the addressee.
(b)Headings. The headings of sections and subsections are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of the provisions of this Award Agreement.
(c)Counterparts. This Award Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
(d)Entire Agreement. This Award Agreement (including Exhibit 1 hereto), the Plan, the TBA and, to the extent applicable, any written employment agreement between the Participant and the Company, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. They supersede all other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) that relate to the subject matter hereof.
(e)Amendments. The Board or the Committee shall have the power to alter, amend, modify or terminate the Plan or this Award Agreement at any time; provided, however, that no such termination, amendment or modification may adversely affect, in any material respect, the Participant’s rights under this Award Agreement without the Participant’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to (but not following) the Merger the Company shall have broad authority to amend this Award Agreement without the consent of the Participant to the extent it deems necessary or desirable (i) to comply with or take into account changes in or interpretations of, applicable tax laws, securities laws, employment laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, (ii) to ensure that the RSUs and the Cash Award are not subject to taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, (iii) to take into account unusual or nonrecurring events or market conditions, or (iv) to take into account significant acquisitions or dispositions of assets or other property by the Company. Any amendment, modification or termination shall, upon adoption, become and be binding on all persons affected thereby without requirement for consent or other action with respect thereto by any such person. The Committee shall give written notice to the Participant in accordance with Section 16(a) of any such amendment, modification or termination as promptly as practicable after the adoption thereof. The foregoing shall not restrict the ability of the Participant and the Company by mutual consent to alter or amend the terms of the RSUs or the Cash Award in any manner that is consistent with the Plan and approved by the Committee.
(f)Section 409A.
(i) The RSUs and the Cash Award are intended to constitute “short-term deferrals” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). If any provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement would, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Committee, result or likely result in the imposition on the Participant of a penalty tax under Section 409A, the Committee may modify the terms of the Plan or this Award Agreement, without the consent of the Participant, in the manner that the Committee may reasonably and in good faith determine to be necessary or advisable to avoid the imposition of such penalty tax. This Section 16(f) does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the Plan or this Award Agreement and does not guarantee that the RSUs or the Cash Award will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Award Agreement, to the extent that the RSUs or the Cash Award constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A and the Participant is a “Specified Employee” (within the meaning of the Committee’s established methodology for determining “Specified Employees” for purposes of Section 409A), no payment or distribution of any amounts with respect to the RSUs or the Cash Award that are subject to Section 409A and are scheduled to be made upon the Participant’s termination of employment may be made before the first business day following the six (6) month anniversary of the Participant’s “Separation from Service” from the Company (as defined in Section 409A) or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death.
(iii) The actual date of settlement pursuant to Section 12 shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. In no event may the Participant be permitted to control the year in which settlement occurs.
(g)Successor. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Award Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company, and to any Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 9 hereof.
(h)Choice of Law. Except as to matters of federal law, this Award Agreement and all actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (other than its conflict of law rules).

In addition, the Committee shall make such adjustments (if any) to the Annual Peer Group and/or the measurements of relative performance against the Annual Peer Group under this Agreement as it may deem necessary or appropriate if and to the extent that there are distortions resulting from fundamental, extraordinary changes to the business of any constituent company in the Annual Peer Group.

(g)“EPS Growth Ranking” means, for each of 2017, 2018 and 2019, the percentile ranking of the Company for EPS Growth relative to the Annual Peer Group for such year, calculated on a comparable basis for any adjustments or nonrecurring charges.
(h)“ROA” means (i) net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) calculated as pre-tax operating earnings from continuing operations less income taxes at the Company’s effective tax rate for a specified annual measurement period, divided by (ii) the average balance of total assets for the same annual measurement period, determined by averaging the beginning and ending balances of total assets for such measurement period.
