SECTION 4. Shares Available for Awards.

 

(a)   Shares  Available. Subject  to  adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the maximum number of Shares available for issuance in respect of Awards made under the Plan shall be 4,000,000 Shares, provided, however, that if for any reason any Award under the Plan other than a Substitute Award is forfeited, canceled, expired, or settled in cash, the number of Shares available for issuance in respect of Awards under the Plan shall be increased  by the number  of  Shares so forfeited, canceled, expired or settled in cash.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following shall not increase the number of Shares available for issuance in respect of Awards under the Plan:  (i) Shares delivered in payment of an Option, (ii) Shares that are repurchased by the Company with Option proceeds and (iii) Shares withheld to satisfy withholding taxes on any Award. In addition, Shares covered by an SAR, to the extent that it is exercised and settled in Shares, and regardless of whether or not Shares are actually issued to the Participant upon exercise of the SAR, shall be considered issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan. Subject to the foregoing, Shares may be made available from the authorized but unissued Shares of the Company or from Shares reacquired by the Company.

 

Additionally, in the event that a corporation acquired by (or combined with) the Company or any subsidiary has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan; provided that awards using such

-  4  -


 

available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Company or any subsidiary prior to such acquisition or combination.

 

(b)   Individual Stock-Based Awards. Subject  to  adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), no Participant may receive Options or Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan in any calendar  year that  relate to more than 1,000,000 Shares in the aggregate; provided, however, that such number may be increased with respect  to  any Participant by any Shares available for grant to such Participant in  accordance with this Section 4(b) in any prior years that were not granted in such prior year. No provision of this Section 4(b) shall be construed  as limiting the amount of any other stock-based or cash-based  award which may be granted to any Participant. In any fiscal year of the Company, no Participant who is a non-employee director of the Company may be granted Awards valued at more than $450,000 at the time of grant.

 

(c)   Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), change in the capital or shares of capital stock, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or extraordinary transaction or event which affects the Shares, then the Committee shall make such adjustment, if any, in such manner as it deems appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, in (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards both to any individual and to all Participants, (ii) outstanding Awards including without limitation the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject thereto, and (iii) the grant, purchase or exercise price with respect to outstanding Awards and, if deemed appropriate, make provision for cash payments to the holders of outstanding Awards; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number.

 

(d)   Substitute Awards. Shares underlying Substitute Awards shall not reduce the number of shares  remaining available  for issuance under  the  Plan for  any purpose.

 

SECTION 5. Eligibility.

The maximum number of Shares that may be awarded  as Incentive Stock Options is 4,000,000. Each Award Agreement shall specify whether (or the extent to which) the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Notwithstanding any such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. Options failing to qualify as Incentive Stock Options for any reason will be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options, rather than forfeited.

Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the grant price, which shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Shares underlying the Stock Appreciation Right on the date of grant, term (not to exceed ten years).  The Committee shall also determine, in its discretion, methods of exercise and settlement and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right and may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate, which terms and conditions shall be described in the applicable Award Agreement.  The Award Agreement shall set forth applicable vesting requirements including, for time-based Awards in excess of 5% of the number of Shares available for Awards pursuant to Section 4, a vesting period of no less than one year, except with respect to substitute awards for grants made under a plan of an acquired business entity or in limited cases of an intervening event related to death, disability, retirement, or a Change in Control.

(i)   Issuance.  The Committee is authorized to grant to  Participants Awards of Restricted  Stock, which shall consist of Shares, and Restricted  Stock Units which shall give the Participant the right to  receive cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, in each case subject  to the termination of the Restricted Period determined  by the Committee. Notwithstanding the following terms, the Committee may impose other terms that  may be more or less favorable to the Company as it deems fit. In the  absence of any such differing provisions, Awards of Restricted Stock  and Restricted Stock Units shall have the provisions described below.

The applicable Award Agreement shall set forth all such restrictions, as well as such other terms and conditions applicable to the Award as shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion, including provisions related to vesting and the provisions applicable in the event the Participant terminates employment.  The Award Agreement shall set forth applicable vesting requirements including, for time-based Awards in excess of 5% of the number of Shares available for Awards pursuant to Section 4, a vesting period of no less than one year, except with respect to substitute awards for grants made under a plan of an acquired business entity or in limited cases of an intervening event related to death, disability, retirement, or a Change in Control.  Subject to the aforementioned restrictions and the

Subject to the terms of the Plan, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award granted and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the performance period relating to any Performance Award shall be at least one calendar year commencing January 1 and ending December 31 (except in circumstances in connection with a Change in Control, in which event the performance period may be shorter than one year).

 

(iii)   If the Committee intends that a Performance Award to a member of the Executive Group should constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, then such award shall include a pre-established formula, such that payment, retention or vesting of the Award is subject to the achievement during a performance period or periods, as determined by the Committee, of a level or levels, as determined by the Committee, of one or more performance measures with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates.  Available performance measures shall be based on the following performance measures (or an equivalent metric) each determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, where applicable, as consistently applied by the Company:

Performance measures may vary from Performance Award to Performance Award and from Participant to Participant and may be established on a stand-alone basis, in tandem or in the alternative; in addition, performance measures may be applied on a corporate-wide or division/business segment basis, and may be applied to the performance of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates relative to a market index, a group of other companies or a combination thereof, all as determined by the Committee. To the extent a Performance Award is designed to constitute performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, performance measures shall be established within 90 days of the beginning of the period of service to which the performance measures relate.  For any Performance Award, the maximum amount that may be delivered or earned in settlement of all such Awards granted in any year shall be (x) if and to the extent that such Awards are denominated in Shares, 1,000,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c)) and (y) if and to the extent that such Awards are denominated in cash, $5,000,000. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall not be authorized to increase the amount payable under any Award to which this Section 6(e)(iii) applies upon attainment of such pre-established formula.

 

(f)   Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant to  Participants Awards under  which the holders thereof shall be  entitled to receive payments equivalent to dividends or interest with respect  to a number of Shares determined by the Committee,  and the Committee may provide that such  amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested. Subject  to the terms of the Plan, such Awards may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, as set forth in the Award Agreement, but shall not be awarded on Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or on unearned  Performance Awards.

(3)   to a revocable grantor trust established by the Participant for the sole benefit of the Participant during the Participant’s life,  and under the terms of  which the Participant is and remains the sole trustee until death or physical or mental incapacity.  Such  assignment shall be  effected by a written instrument in form and content satisfactory to the Committee,  and the Participant shall deliver to the Committee a true  copy of the agreement or other document evidencing such trust. If in the judgment of the Committee the trust to which a Participant may attempt to assign rights under such an Award does not meet the criteria of a trust to  which an  assignment is permitted  by the terms hereof, or if after assignment, because of amendment, by force of law or  any other  reason such trust no longer meets such criteria, such attempted  assignment shall be void and may be disregarded  by the Committee  and the Company and all rights to  any such Options shall revert to and remain solely with the Participant. Notwithstanding a qualified  assignment, for the purpose of determining compensation arising by reason of the Option, the Participant, and not the trust to which rights under such  an Option may be assigned, shall continue to be considered  an employee or  consultant, as the case may be, of the Company or an Affiliate, but such trust and the  Participant shall be bound  by all of the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement and this Plan. Shares issued in the name of  and delivered to such trust shall be  conclusively considered issuance  and delivery to the Participant.

 

(B)   A Participant may assign or transfer rights under  an  Award of Restricted  Stock or Restricted  Stock Units:

 

(1)   to a beneficiary designated by the Participant in writing on a form  approved  by the Committee;

 

(2)   by will or the  applicable laws of descent and distribution to the personal representative, executor or  administrator of the Participant’s estate; or

 

(3)   to a revocable grantor trust established by the Participant for the sole benefit of the Participant during the Participant’s life,  and under the terms of which the Participant is and remains the sole trustee until death or physical or mental  incapacity.  Such assignment shall be effected by a written instrument in form and content satisfactory to the Committee,  and the Participant shall deliver to the Committee a true copy of the agreement or other document evidencing such trust. If in the judgment of the Committee the trust to which a Participant may attempt to assign rights under such  an  Award does not meet  the  criteria of a trust to which  an  assignment is permitted  by the terms hereof,  or if after  assignment, because of amendment, by force of law or  any other reason such trust no longer meets such  criteria, such attempted assignment shall be void and may be disregarded  by the Committee  and the Company and all rights to  any such Awards shall revert to and remain solely with the Participant. Notwithstanding a qualified  assignment, for the purpose of determining compensation arising by reason of the Award, the  Participant, and not the trust to which rights under such  an Award may be assigned,

-  11  -


 

shall continue to be considered an  employee or  consultant, as the case may be, of the Company or  an Affiliate, but such trust and the Participant shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement and this  Plan. Shares issued in the name of and delivered to such trust shall be  conclusively considered issuance  and delivery to the Participant.

 

(iii)      The Committee, the Company and its officers, agents and employees may rely upon any beneficiary designation, assignment or other instrument of transfer, copies of trust agreements and any other documents delivered to them by or on behalf of the Participant which they believe genuine and any action taken by them in reliance thereon shall be conclusive and binding upon the Participant, any trustee, the personal representatives of the Participant’s estate and all persons asserting a claim based on an Award. The delivery by a Participant of a beneficiary designation, or an assignment of rights under an Award as permitted hereunder, shall constitute the Participant’s irrevocable undertaking to hold the Committee, the Company and its officers, agents and employees harmless against claims, including any cost or expense incurred in defending against claims, of any person (including the Participant) which may be asserted or alleged to be based on an Award subject to a beneficiary designation or an assignment. In addition, the Company may decline to deliver Shares to a beneficiary, heir or trustee until it receives indemnity against claims of third parties satisfactory to the Company.

 

(e)   Share Certificates. All certificates for, or other indicia of,  Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to  any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject  to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such  Shares  or other  securities are then listed and any applicable federal or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such  certificates to make  appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

(f)   Change in Control. The vesting and payment terms applicable to an Award following a Change in Control, if any, shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Award is granted and shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. 

 

(g)   Cash Settlement. Notwithstanding any provision of this  Plan or of any Award Agreement to the contrary, but subject to provisions of Section 409A of the Code, any Award outstanding hereunder may at any time be cancelled in the Committee’s sole discretion upon payment of the value of such Award to the holder thereof in cash or in another  Award hereunder, such  value to be determined  by the Committee in its sole discretion.

 

(h)   Repricing. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other awards or Options or

-  12  -


 

Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights without stockholder approval.

 

(i)   Clawback Upon Restatement.  In the event the Company has a restatement of its financial statements, other than as a result of changes to accounting rules and regulations, the Committee shall have the discretion at any time (notwithstanding any expiration of this Plan or of the  rights or obligations otherwise arising hereunder) to require  any Participant to return all cash or Shares which he may have acquired (or which he is deemed to have acquired)  as a result of any  Performance Award payment or  as a result of the sale of Shares which may have vested under  any Award, and to waive,  forfeit and surrender to the Company the right to any unrealized  Performance Award payments and to all unsold vested Shares  and all unvested Shares made under  any Award (whether or not such  Participant may then be  an employee,  consultant or director of the Company or  any of its affiliates, and whether or not such  Participant’s or  any other persons misconduct  may have caused such restatement),  provided that such payment or right to payment or Award was earned, paid or granted during the three-year period preceding the date of restatement of such restated financial results and provided, further, that any such recovery shall be offset  by recovery otherwise obtained hereunder. The Committee retains discretion regarding the application of these provisions.

 

SECTION 8. Amendment and Termination.

 

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan:

 

(a)   Amendments to the Plan. The Board may amend the Plan  and the Board or the Committee may amend any outstanding Award; provided, however, that: (I) no Plan amendment shall be effective until approved  by stockholders of the Company (i) if any stockholder  approval  thereof is required in order  for the Plan to continue to satisfy the conditions of the  applicable rules and regulations that the Committee has determined to be necessary to comply with, and (ii) if such  Plan amendment would materially (A) increase the number of Shares available under the Plan or issuable to a Participant (other than a  change in the number of Shares made in connection with an event described in Section 4(c) hereof), (B) change the types of Awards that  may be granted under the Plan, (C) expand the class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, or (D) directly or indirectly (including through  an  exchange of underwater options or SARs for cash or other  Awards) reduce the price  at which an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercisable (other  than in connection with an event described  in  Section 4(c) hereof or the granting of a Substitute Award),  and (II) without the consent of affected Participants, no amendment of the Plan or (other than as  required herein) of  any Award may impair the  rights of Participants under outstanding Awards.

(c)   Adjustments of Awards Upon the Occurrence of  Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Committee shall be authorized to make  adjustments in the terms and conditions of,  and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the  events described in Section 4(c) hereof) affecting the  

-  13  -


 

Company,  any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or  any Affiliate, or of  changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are  appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits to be made  available under the Plan; provided, however, no such  adjustment shall be made to an Award granted under Section 6(e)(iii) if the Committee intends such Award to constitute qualified performance-based compensation” unless such  adjustment is permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code.

The terms and conditions of Awards of the same type  and the determination of the Committee to grant a waiver or modification of  any Award and the terms and conditions thereof need not be the same with respect  to  each  Participant.

 

(b)   Withholding. The Company or any Affiliate shall be  authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due or transfer  made under  any Award or under the Plan the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other  Awards or other property) of withholding taxes due (limited to the minimum statutory amount) in respect of an  Award, its exercise or  any payment or transfer under  such Award or under the Plan  and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or Affiliate to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

 

(c)   No Limit on Other  Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, including the grant of options and other stock-based awards, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

(d)   No Right to Employment or Service. The grant of an Award shall not be construed  as  giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or  any Affiliate.  Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or service, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement or in any other agreement binding the parties.

To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to  an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of  any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

 

(h)   No Fractional Shares. No fractional  Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or  any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional  Shares, or whether such  fractional  Shares or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

TOPBUILD CORP.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS EQUITY PROGRAM UNDER THE 2015 LONG

TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Amended and Restated Effective May 2, 2016

 

For purposes of the TopBuild Corp. (the “Company”) Non-Employee Directors Equity Program (the “Program”), an “Eligible Director” is any director of the Company who is not an employee of the Company and who receives a fee for services as a director.  Terms not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Company’s 2015 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).

 

Section 1. Restricted Stock Award

 

(a)   (i)  Eligibility for Award.  Effective on July 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) and thereafter on the date of each of the Company’s annual stockholders’ meetings (the “Annual Meeting”), each person who is or becomes an Eligible Director on the Effective Date or at such Annual Meetings shall be granted an Award of Restricted Stock.

 

(ii)  Amount of Award.   The amount of the Award of Restricted Stock shall be equal to one-half of the annual retainer then paid to non-employee directors as compensation for their service as a director, rounded to the nearest ten Shares and disregarding any retainer provided as compensation for service on a Board committee, or as Chair of a Board committee or the Board (if awarded at the Effective Date, the “Initial Award” and if awarded at an Annual Meeting, the “Annual Retainer”). If an Eligible Director begins serving as a director other than as of the Effective Date or as of the date of an Annual Meeting, Awards of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be granted on the date of the meeting of the Governance Committee that takes place on or after such Eligible Director is first elected or appointed to the Board, and such Awards shall be pro-rated to reflect the partial service to be provided by such Eligible Director in the period between Annual Meetings.

 

(iii)  Adjustment to Amount or Terms of Award.   The Board shall have sole discretion to adjust the amount of the Initial Award or the Annual Retainer to be paid in the form of Shares and the terms of any such Award of Shares.  Except as the Board may otherwise determine, any increase or decrease in an Eligible Director’s Initial Award or the Annual Retainer during a period with respect to which such Eligible Director has already been granted an Award of Restricted Stock shall be implemented by increasing or decreasing the cash portion of such Eligible Director’s Annual Retainer; provided that any such increase or decrease shall comply with Section 409A of the Code and regulations thereunder to the extent an Award constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

 

(b)   Each Award of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall vest on such schedule as determined by the Board at the time the Award is granted.  The applicable Award Agreement shall set forth vesting conditions as well as such other terms and conditions applicable to the Award as shall be determined by the Board in its discretion, including

-  16  -


 

provisions applicable upon the termination of the Eligible Director’s term of service as a director.

 

(c)   The price of the Shares used in determining the number of Shares subject to an Award of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the Company’s pricing policy or, if a pricing policy has not been adopted by the Company, shall be the fair market value of the Shares as determined by the Board on the effective grant date of such Award.

 

(d)   Each Eligible Director shall be entitled to vote and receive dividends on the Shares subject to the Award of Restricted Stock, but will not be able to obtain a stock certificate or sell, encumber or otherwise transfer such Shares of Restricted Stock except in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

 

Section 2. Non-Compete Provision

 

Each Award of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall contain a provision whereby the Award holder shall agree, in consideration for the Award and regardless of whether restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock have lapsed, as follows:

 

(a)   While the holder is a director of the Company and for a period of one year following the later of the last date of vesting of any Shares or the termination of such holder’s term as a director of the Company, other than a termination following a Change in Control, the Award holder shall agree not to engage in, and not to become associated in a “Prohibited Capacity” (as hereinafter defined) with any other entity engaged in, any ‘‘Business Activities” (as hereinafter defined) and not to encourage or assist others in encouraging any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate employment or to become engaged in any such Prohibited Capacity with an entity engaged in any Business Activities. “Business Activities” shall mean the design, development, manufacture, sale, marketing or servicing of any product, or providing of services competitive with the products or services, of the Company or any subsidiary at any time while the Award is outstanding, to the extent that such competitive products or services are distributed or provided either (1) in the same geographic area as are such products or services of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (2) to any of the same customers as such products or services of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are distributed or provided.  “Prohibited Capacity” shall mean being associated with an entity as a director, employee, consultant, investor or in another capacity where (1) confidential business information of the Company or any of its subsidiaries could be used in fulfilling any of the holder’s duties or responsibilities with such other entity, or (2) an investment by the Award holder in such other entity represents more than 1% of such other entity’s capital stock, partnership or other ownership interests.

 

(b)   Should the Award holder breach any of the restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph, by accepting an Award, the Award holder shall agree, independent of any equitable or legal remedies that the Company may have and without limiting the Company’s  right to any other equitable or legal remedies, to pay to the Company in cash immediately upon the demand of the Company (1) the amount of income realized for income tax purposes from the Award, net of all federal, state and other taxes payable on the amount of such income, but only to the extent that such income is realized from restrictions lapsing on Shares

-  17  -


 

or exercises occurring, as the case may be, on or after the termination of the Award holder’s term as a director of the Company or within the two-year period prior to the date of such termination, plus (2) all costs and expenses of the Company in any effort to enforce its rights under this or the preceding paragraph.  The Company shall have the right to set off or withhold any amount owed to the Award holder by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for any amount owed to the Company by the Award holder hereunder.

 

Section 3. Termination, Modification or Suspension

 

The Board may terminate, modify or suspend the Program at any time as it may deem advisable.
