Dear Fellow Stockholder:
It is my pleasure to invite you to the Unisys 2007 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. This years meeting will be held
on Thursday, April 26, 2007, at The Hilton Inn at Penn,
which is located at 3600 Sansom Street in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m.
In 2006 we made great progress in our multi-year plan to
reposition Unisys for significantly improved profitability by
2008. Executing against the strategy we laid out at the end of
2005, we realigned our sales and services delivery model,
restructured challenging outsourcing operations, expanded our
use of offshore resources, announced major changes to our
U.S. retirement plans, divested non-core assets, and
significantly reduced our cost base. As we implemented the
repositioning initiatives, our profitability improved during the
year, and we closed the year with significant profit growth in
the fourth quarter. While we have much more work to do, we are
encouraged by the improvements we are seeing in our results, and
we are focused on continuing the progress in 2007.
Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, I urge you
to take a moment to vote on the items in this years proxy
statement. Most stockholders have a choice of voting their
shares over the Internet, by telephone, or by completing,
signing, and returning a proxy card. Voting by any of these
means takes only a few minutes, and it will ensure that your
shares are represented at the meeting. If you vote over the
Internet, you will also be given the opportunity to access
future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet
instead of receiving paper copies in the mail. Electronic access
saves our company the cost of producing and mailing these
documents. I encourage you to take advantage of it.
I look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting, where you
will hear about our results for 2006 and our priorities for 2007.
|
|
|
Sincerely, |
|
|
|
|
Joseph W. McGrath |
|
President and Chief Executive Officer |

UNISYS CORPORATION
PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
April 26, 2007
The Board of Directors of Unisys Corporation solicits your proxy
for use at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
April 26, 2007 and at any adjournments. At the annual
meeting, stockholders will be asked to elect three directors, to
ratify the selection of the Companys independent
registered public accountants, to approve a new long-term
incentive and equity compensation plan, to consider and vote on
two stockholder proposals and to transact any other business
properly brought before the meeting.
The record date for the annual meeting is February 28,
2007. Only holders of record of Unisys common stock as of the
close of business on the record date are entitled to vote at the
meeting. On the record date, 346,885,727 shares of common
stock were outstanding. The presence, in person or by proxy, of
a majority of those shares will constitute a quorum at the
meeting.
This proxy statement, the proxy/voting instruction card and the
annual report of Unisys, including the financial statements for
2006, are being mailed and made available on the Internet on or
about March 15, 2007.
Required Vote
Each share of Unisys common stock outstanding on the record date
is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon.
Directors will be elected by the vote of a majority of the votes
cast at the meeting. This means that a nominee will be elected
if the number of votes cast for his or her election
exceeds 50% of the total number of votes cast with respect to
that nominees election. Votes cast with respect to the
election of directors include votes to withhold
authority but do not include abstentions and broker non-votes.
Each of the other matters scheduled to come before the annual
meeting will be approved if it receives the affirmative vote of
a majority of shares present, in person or by proxy, and
entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will be included in
the vote totals for these matters and therefore will have the
same effect as a negative vote; broker non-votes will not be
included in the vote totals and therefore will have no effect on
the vote.
Voting Procedures and Revocability of Proxies
Your vote is important. Shares may be voted at the annual
meeting only if you are present in person or represented by
proxy. Most stockholders have a choice of voting (1) by
completing a proxy/voting instruction card and mailing it in the
postage-paid envelope provided, (2) over the Internet or
(3) by telephone using a toll-free telephone number. Check
the materials you have received to see which options are
available to you and to obtain the applicable web site or
telephone number. If you elected to receive proxy materials over
the Internet, you should have already received
e-mail instructions on
how to vote electronically. Please be aware that if you vote
over the Internet, you may incur costs associated with your
electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access
providers and telephone companies, for which you will be
responsible.
1
The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to
authenticate stockholders identities by use of a control
number, to allow stockholders to give their voting instructions
and to confirm that stockholders instructions have been
recorded properly. The Company has been advised by counsel that
the telephone and Internet voting procedures are consistent with
the requirements of applicable law.
You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by
writing to the Corporate Secretary of Unisys, by timely delivery
of a properly executed later-dated proxy (including an Internet
or telephone vote) or by voting in person at the meeting.
The method by which you vote will in no way limit your right to
vote at the meeting if you later decide to attend in person. If
your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other
holder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your
favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the
meeting.
If you properly complete and return your proxy, and do not
revoke it, the proxy holders will vote your shares in accordance
with your instructions. If your properly completed proxy gives
no instructions, the proxy holders will vote your shares FOR the
election of directors, FOR the selection of independent
registered public accountants, FOR the approval of the Unisys
Corporation 2007 Long-Term Incentive and Equity Compensation
Plan, AGAINST the two stockholder proposals and in their
discretion on any other matters that properly come before the
annual meeting.
If you are a participant in the Unisys Savings Plan, the
proxy/voting instruction card will serve as voting instructions
to the plan trustee for any whole shares of Unisys common stock
credited to your account as of February 28, 2007. The
trustee will vote those shares in accordance with your
instructions if it receives your completed proxy by
April 23, 2007. If the proxy is not timely received, or if
you give no instructions on a matter to be voted upon, the
trustee will vote the shares credited to your account in the
same proportion as it votes those shares for which it received
timely instructions from other participants.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors currently consists of 10 members, divided
into three classes. One class of directors is elected each year
to hold office for a three-year term. The three directors whose
terms expire in 2007, Henry C. Duques, Clayton M. Jones and
Theodore E. Martin, have been nominated for reelection. The
remaining seven directors will continue to serve as set forth
below. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a director if
elected, and Unisys believes that each nominee will be available
to serve. However, the proxy holders have discretionary
authority to cast votes for the election of a substitute should
any nominee not be available to serve as a director.
The
Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR all
nominees.
Information Regarding Nominees and Directors
The names and ages of the nominees and directors, their

In February 2003, the SEC and Mr. Bolduc settled public
administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings. Without
admitting or denying the SECs findings, Mr. Bolduc
consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order in which the
SEC found that, between 1991 and 1995, while Mr. Bolduc was
president and either chief operating officer or chief executive
officer of W. R. Grace & Co. and a member of its board
of directors, Grace fraudulently used reserves to defer income
earned by a subsidiary, primarily to smooth earnings of its
health care segment, in violation of the antifraud provisions of
the federal securities laws, as well as the provisions that
require public companies to keep accurate books and records,
maintain appropriate internal accounting controls and file
accurate annual and quarterly reports. The order generally finds
that Mr. Bolduc, through his actions or omissions, was a
cause of these violations. The order also notes that, during the
period in question, Mr. Bolduc did not sell any of the
substantial number of Grace shares that he owned. The SEC
ordered Mr. Bolduc to cease and desist from committing or
causing any violation or future violation of the antifraud and
reporting requirements of the federal securities laws. It did
not impose any fines, penalties or bars on Mr. Bolduc. |

Board Meetings; Attendance at Annual Meetings
The Board of Directors held 12 meetings in 2006. During 2006,
all directors except Mr. Espe attended at least 75% of the
meetings of the Board of Directors and standing committees on
which they served.
It is the Companys policy that all directors should attend
the annual meeting of stockholders. All of the Companys
directors attended the 2006 annual meeting.
Independence of Directors
All of the Companys directors other than Mr. McGrath
meet the independence requirements prescribed by the New York
Stock Exchange and, in the case of members of the Audit
Committee, also meet the audit committee independence
requirements prescribed by the SEC. In assessing whether a
director has a material relationship with Unisys (either
directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an
organization that has a relationship with Unisys), the Board
uses the criteria outlined below in paragraph 2 of
Corporate Governance Guidelines. All non-employee
directors met these criteria in 2006. In particular, three of
the Companys non-employee directors, Mr. Duques,
Mr. Espe and Mr. Jones, are the chief executive
officers of companies that do business with Unisys in the
ordinary course. In each instance, combined Unisys sales to and
purchases from the directors company in 2006 represented
less than one percent of that companys annual revenue. In
addition, two of the Companys non-employee directors,
Mr. Bolduc and Mr. Espe, served as directors of
organizations to which the Company made charitable contributions
in 2006. In each instance, the amounts contributed by Unisys to
the charitable organization represented less than one percent of
the organizations annual charitable receipts.
Committees
The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee,
Compensation Committee, Finance Committee and Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee. The specific functions and
responsibilities of each committee are set forth in its charter,
which is available on the Companys Internet web site at
www.unisys.com in the Investors section under Corporate
Governance and Board of Directors and is also available in print
to any stockholder who requests it.
6
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of the
integrity of the Companys financial statements and its
financial reporting and disclosure practices, the soundness of
its systems of internal financial and accounting controls, the
independence and qualifications of its independent registered
public accounting firm, the performance of its internal auditors
and independent registered public accounting firm, the
Companys compliance with legal and regulatory requirements
and the soundness of its ethical and environmental compliance
programs. The Audit Committee held nine meetings in 2006. Its
members are Mr. Espe, Ms. Fletcher, Mr. Huston
(chair) and Ms. Kenne. The Board has determined that
each of Mr. Espe, Ms. Fletcher and Mr. Huston is
an audit committee financial expert as defined by the SEC.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee oversees the compensation of the
Companys executives, the Companys executive
management structure, the compensation-related policies and
programs involving the Companys executive management and
the level of benefits of officers and key employees. In this
capacity, the committee regularly reviews and approves the
Companys executive compensation strategy and principles to
ensure that they are aligned with the Companys business
strategy and objectives and with stockholder interests. Under
its charter, the Compensation Committee annually reviews and
approves goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of
the chief executive officer, evaluates the performance of the
chief executive officer in light of those goals and makes
recommendations to the independent members of the Board
concerning the compensation level of the chief executive
officer. The committee also annually reviews and approves
compensation levels of the other elected officers. In this
regard, the committee solicits input from the Companys
chief executive officer regarding the compensation of those
executives who report directly to him. The Compensation
Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board the adoption
of director compensation programs. The Companys guidelines
regarding the compensation of directors are described more fully
in paragraph 11 of Corporate Governance
Guidelines below. To assist in carrying out its
responsibilities, the Compensation Committee regularly receives
reports and recommendations from management and from Towers
Perrin, the committees outside compensation consultant.
Under its charter, the committee also may consult with legal,
accounting or other advisors, as appropriate, and may form and
delegate authority to subcommittees when appropriate. The
Compensation Committee held seven meetings in 2006. Its members
are Dr. Duderstadt, Mr. Jones and Mr. Martin
(chair).
Finance Committee
The Finance Committee oversees the Companys financial
affairs, including its capital structure, financial
arrangements, capital spending and acquisition and disposition
plans. It also oversees the management and investment of funds
in the pension, savings and welfare benefit plans sponsored by
the Company. The Finance Committee held five meetings in 2006.
Its members are Mr. Bolduc (chair) and Mr. Espe.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies and
reviews candidates and recommends to the Board of Directors
nominees for membership on the Board of Directors. It also
oversees the Companys corporate governance. In identifying
candidates for Board
7
membership, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
considers a number of factors including independence,
experience, strength of character, mature judgment, technical
skills, diversity, age and the extent to which the individual
would fill a present need on the Board. In February 2006, the
committee recommended, and the Board elected, a new director. As
part of the selection process, the committee looked for
candidates with a background in information technology or with
government, security or sales and marketing experience. The
committee retained a third-party search firm to assist in
identifying qualified candidates. The committee will consider
recommendations on director candidates received from
stockholders and other qualified sources. Stockholder
recommendations must be in writing and addressed to the Chairman
of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,
c/o Corporate Secretary, Unisys Corporation, Unisys Way,
Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19424. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee held four meetings in 2006. Its members are
Dr. Duderstadt (chair), Mr. Duques and
Ms. Fletcher.
Communications with Directors
Stockholders and other interested parties may send
communications to the Board of Directors or to the
non-management directors as a group by writing to them
c/o Corporate Secretary, Unisys Corporation, Unisys Way,
Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19424. All communications directed to
Board members will be delivered to them.
Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
Unisys has a code of ethics, the Unisys Code of Ethics and
Business Conduct, that applies to all employees, officers
(including the chief executive officer, chief financial officer
and controller) and directors. The code is posted on the
Companys Internet web site at www.unisys.com in the
Investors section under Corporate Governance and Board of
Directors and is also available in print to any stockholder who
requests it. The Company intends to post amendments to or
waivers from the code (to the extent applicable to the
Companys chief executive officer, chief financial officer
or controller) at this location on its web site.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Board of Directors has adopted Guidelines on Significant
Corporate Governance Issues. The full text of these guidelines,
as amended through February 8, 2007, is available on the
Companys Internet web site at www.unisys.com in the
Investors section under Corporate Governance and Board of
Directors and is also available in print to any stockholder who
requests it. Among other matters, the guidelines cover the
following:
|
|
|
1. A majority of the Board of Directors shall qualify
as independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock
Exchange. |
|
|
2. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
reviews annually with the Board the independence of outside
directors. Following this review, only those directors who meet
the independence qualifications prescribed by the New York Stock
Exchange and who the Board affirmatively determines have no
material relationship with the Company will be considered
independent. The Board has determined that the following
commercial or charitable relationships will not be considered to
be material relationships that would impair independence:
(a) if a director is an executive officer or partner of, or
owns more than a ten percent equity interest in, a company that
does business with Unisys, and sales to or purchases from Unisys
are less than one percent of the annual revenues of that |
8
|
|
|
company and (b) if a director is an officer, director or
trustee of a charitable organization, and Unisys contributions
to that organization are less than one percent of its annual
charitable receipts. |
|
|
3. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
is responsible for determining the appropriate skills and
characteristics required of Board members in the context of its
current make-up, and will consider factors such as independence,
experience, strength of character, mature judgment, technical
skills, diversity and age in its assessment of the needs of the
Board. |
|
|
4. If the Chairman of the Board is not an employee of
the Company, the Chairman should qualify as independent under
the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Members of
the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committees must also so qualify. |
|
|
5. Directors may not stand for election after
age 70 or continue to serve beyond the annual
stockholders meeting following the attainment of
age 70. |
|
|
6. Directors should volunteer to resign from the
Board upon a change in primary job responsibility. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review the
appropriateness of continued Board membership under the
circumstances and will recommend, and the Board will determine,
whether or not to accept the directors resignation. In
addition, if the Companys chief executive officer resigns
from that position, he is expected to offer his resignation from
the Board at the same time. |
|
|
7. Non-management directors are encouraged to limit
the number of public company boards on which they serve to no
more than four in addition to the Companys and should
advise the Chairman of the Board and the general counsel of the
Company before accepting an invitation to serve on another board. |
|
|
8. The non-management directors will meet in
executive session at all regularly scheduled Board meetings.
They may also meet in executive session at any time upon
request. If the Chairman of the Board is an employee of the
Company, the Board will elect from the independent directors a
lead director who will preside at executive sessions. If the
Chairman is not an employee, the Chairman will preside at
executive sessions. |
|
|
9. Board members have complete access to Unisys
management. Members of senior management who are not Board
members regularly attend Board meetings, and the Board
encourages senior management, from time to time, to bring into
Board meetings other managers who can provide additional
insights into the matters under discussion. |
|
|
10. The Board and its committees have the right at
any time to retain independent outside financial, legal or other
advisors. |
|
|
11. It is appropriate for the Companys staff to
report once a year to the Compensation Committee on the status
of Board compensation in relation to other large
U.S. companies. Changes in Board compensation, if any,
should come at the suggestion of the Compensation Committee, but
with full discussion and concurrence by the Board. Particular
attention will be paid to structuring Board compensation in a
manner aligned with stockholder interests. In this regard, a
meaningful portion of a directors compensation should be
provided and held in stock options and/or stock units. Directors
should not, except in rare circumstances approved by the Board,
draw any consulting, legal or other |
9
|
|
|
fees from the Company. In no event shall any member of the Audit
Committee receive any compensation from the Company other than
directors fees. |
|
|
12. The Company will provide an orientation program
for new directors. The Company will also provide directors with
presentations from time to time on topics designed by the
Company or third-party experts to assist directors in carrying
out their responsibilities. Directors may also attend
appropriate continuing education programs at the Companys
expense. |
|
|
13. The Board will conduct an annual self-evaluation
to determine whether it and its committees are functioning
effectively. |
|
|
14. The non-management directors will evaluate the
performance of the chief executive officer annually and will
meet in executive session, led by the chairperson of the
Compensation Committee, to review this performance. The
evaluation is based on objective criteria, including performance
of the business, accomplishment of long-term strategic
objectives and development of management. Based on this
evaluation, the Compensation Committee will recommend, and the
members of the Board who meet the independence criteria of the
New York Stock Exchange will determine and approve, the
compensation of the chief executive officer. |
|
|
15. To assist the Board in its planning for the
succession to the position of chief executive officer, the chief
executive officer is expected to provide an annual report on
succession planning to the Compensation Committee. |
|
|
16. The Companys stockholder rights plan
expired on March 17, 2006, and it has no present intention
to adopt a new one. Subject to its continuing fiduciary duties,
which may dictate otherwise depending on the circumstances, the
Board shall submit the adoption of any future stockholder rights
plan to a vote of the stockholders. Any stockholder rights plan
adopted or extended without stockholder approval shall be
approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board
and shall be in response to specific, articulable circumstances
that are deemed to warrant such action without the delay that
might result from seeking prior stockholder approval. If the
Board adopts or extends a rights plan without prior stockholder
approval, the Board shall, within one year, either submit the
plan to a vote of the stockholders or redeem the plan or cause
it to expire. |
Related Party Transactions
During 2006, the law firm Pepper Hamilton LLP, which has
represented Unisys on a variety of matters for more than
20 years, provided legal services to Unisys for fees of
approximately $254,000. The husband of Nancy Straus Sundheim is
a partner in that firm. Ms. Sundheim has been Senior Vice
President, General Counsel and Secretary of Unisys since 2001.
Since that date, at the request of Mr. Sundheim, Pepper
Hamilton has excluded from Mr. Sundheims annual
compensation any income attributable to Unisys matters. Also,
since 2001, it has been the Companys practice that any
decision to retain Pepper Hamilton is made by the chief
executive officer, in consultation with the Unisys attorney
responsible for the matter. Ms. Sundheim has no input in
the decision to retain the firm.
Audit Committee Report
In performing its oversight responsibilities as defined in its
charter, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the
audited financial statements and reporting process, including the
10
system of internal controls, with management and with
Ernst & Young LLP, the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm. The committee has also
discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required
to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards
No. 61, as amended, as adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. In addition, the
committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their
independence and has received from them the written disclosures
and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard
No. 1, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. The committee has also
considered the compatibility of audit-related services, tax
services and other non-audit services with the firms
independence.
During 2006, the Audit Committee was kept informed of the
progress of managements documentation, testing and
evaluation of the Companys system of internal control over
financial reporting required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations and provided
oversight to management during the process. At the conclusion of
the process, the committee reviewed a report on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.
Based on these reviews and discussions, the committee
recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial
statements be included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with the SEC.

Audit fees consist of fees for the audit and review of the
Companys financial statements, statutory audits, comfort
letters, consents, assistance with and review of documents filed
with the SEC and Section 404 attestation procedures.
Audit-related fees consist of fees for employee benefit plan
audits, accounting advice regarding specific transactions and
various attestation engagements. Tax fees principally represent
fees for tax compliance services. All other fees are for
non-prohibited advisory services to the Companys federal
government group.
The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the
services that may be provided by the independent registered
public accounting firm. The committee has also adopted an Audit
and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy that contains a list
of pre-approved services, which the committee may revise from
time to time. In addition, the Audit Committee has delegated
pre-approval authority, up to a fee limitation of
$150,000 per service, to the chairman of the committee.
11
The chairman of the committee reports any such pre-approval
decision to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee has selected the firm of Ernst &
Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm
to audit the Companys books and accounts for the year
ending December 31, 2007. Ernst & Young LLP has
served as the Companys independent registered public
accounting firm since 1986. Its representatives will be present
at the annual meeting and will have the opportunity to make a
statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate
questions asked by stockholders.
The Board of Directors considers Ernst & Young LLP to
be well qualified to serve as the independent registered public
accounting firm for Unisys. If, however, stockholders do not
ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the
appointment will be reconsidered.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the
proposal to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP
as the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm for 2007.
APPROVAL OF THE UNISYS CORPORATION 2007
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AND EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
On February 8, 2007, the Board of Directors unanimously
approved and adopted the Unisys Corporation 2007 Long-Term
Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan (the 2007
Plan), authorized 24,000,000 shares for issuance
under the plan, and directed that the plan be submitted to
stockholders for approval. The 2007 Plan will become effective
when it is approved by stockholders.
The purposes of the 2007 Plan are to support the Companys
ongoing efforts to attract, retain and develop exceptional
talent and to enable the Company to provide incentives directly
linked to the Companys short-term and long-term objectives
and to increases in stockholder value. In addition, under the
2007 Plan, the Company will have the ability to grant
performance-based compensation awards that meet the requirements
of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, thereby
preserving the Companys ability to receive federal income
tax deductions for the awards.
The 2007 Plan will be in addition to the Unisys Corporation 2003
Long-Term Incentive and Equity Compensation Plan (the 2003
Plan). The 2003 Plan was adopted by stockholders in 2003
and provides for the award of stock options and stock-based
awards to elected officers, outside directors, and key employees
of the Company. As set forth under Equity Compensation
Plan Information on page 19, at December 31,
2006, 5.94 million shares of the Companys common
stock remained available for future issuance under the 2003
Plan. As of March 7, 2007, after taking into account awards
made in 2007, as well as the expiration, termination or
forfeiture of existing awards, 3.13 million shares were
available for issuance under the 2003 Plan.
12
Summary Description of the 2007 Plan
The following is a summary of the material features of the 2007
Plan. This summary is subject in all respects to the complete
text of the 2007 Plan, which is attached as Appendix A.
Shares Available. Twenty-four million shares of the
Companys common stock are authorized for issuance under
the 2007 Plan. Under the plan, if an award is cashed out or is
exercised, terminates or expires without a payment being made in
the form of the Companys common stock, the shares subject
to that award again become available for issuance. However,
shares of the Companys common stock that are
(1) tendered in payment of the exercise price of an option,
(2) withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding
obligation with respect to an award or (3) repurchased by
the Company on the open market with the proceeds of the exercise
of an option, may not again be available for issuance in
connection with awards under the plan. Also, if the Company pays
the spread value of a stock appreciation right in shares of the
Companys common stock, the greater of (1) the number
of shares so paid and (2) the number of shares subject to
the stock appreciation right will be unavailable for issuance
under the plan. The number of authorized shares will be
proportionately substituted for or adjusted to reflect a merger,
reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange,
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up,
spin-off, issuance of rights or warrants, or other similar
event. The Company anticipates that the number of authorized
shares will cover awards made under the plan for at least the
next three years.
Eligibility. All employees, officers and non-employee
directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are
eligible to receive awards under the 2007 Plan. The Compensation
Committee (the Committee) of the Board of Directors
has the authority to select participants and to determine the
amount, type and terms of each award. In 2007, awards under the
2003 Plan have been made to the 12 elected officers of the
Company, the nine non-employee directors and approximately
125 non-officer employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
Types of Awards. The Committee may award stock options
(including nonqualified options and incentive stock options),
stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted shares,
other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards.
Stock Options. A stock option represents the right to
purchase a share of common stock at a predetermined exercise
price. Stock options granted under the 2007 Plan may be in the
form of incentive stock options (ISOs) or
nonqualified stock options, as determined in the discretion of
the Committee. The terms of each stock option, including the
number of shares, exercise price, vesting period and option
duration, will be set forth in an award agreement, but in no
event will a stock option be exercisable later than the tenth
anniversary of the date on which it was granted. Stock options
may be exercised, in whole or in part, by payment in full of the
exercise price in cash. In addition, if authorized by the
Committee, payment in full or in part may also be made in the
form of Company common stock already owned by the participant or
through a broker cashless exercise program authorized by the
Company. Stock options expire on the earlier of the expiration
date of the stock option (as set forth in the applicable award
agreement) or the participants termination of employment
(or, in the case of a non-employee director, termination of
service on the Board). Under certain conditions, a stock option
may be exercised after a participants termination (e.g.,
retirement, death, disability, or termination at or after
attainment of age 55 with 5 years of service), but not
later than the expiration date for the option.
Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR represents the right to
receive a payment, in cash, shares of common stock, or both (as
determined by the Committee), equal to the spread value
13
(the excess of the fair market value of common stock on the date
the SAR is exercised over the grant price of the SAR).
Fair market value for purposes of the 2007 Plan
means, on any date, the closing sales price on the New York
Stock Exchange of a share of Unisys stock on such date. The
grant price of a SAR will be set forth in the applicable award
agreement. Subject to the terms of the applicable award
agreement, a SAR will be exercisable, in whole or in part, by
giving written notice of exercise to the Company, but in no
event will a SAR be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary
of the date on which it was granted.
Restricted Shares. Restricted shares are shares of stock
that are awarded to a participant and that are subject to
forfeiture during a pre-established period if certain conditions
(e.g., continued employment or attainment of pre-determined
performance goals) are not met. The terms of a
participants restricted share award are determined by the
Committee and are set forth in an award agreement. Restricted
shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise encumbered while the shares are subject to forfeiture.
A participant generally will have all the rights of a holder of
common stock, including the rights to receive any dividends and
to vote, during the restricted period. Any dividends with
respect to restricted shares that are payable in common stock
will be paid in the form of restricted shares.
Other Stock-Based Awards. Other stock-based awards are
awards, other than stock options, SARs or restricted shares,
that are denominated or valued in whole or in part by reference
to, or otherwise based on or related to, the value of common
stock. The purchase, exercise, exchange or conversion of other
stock-based awards will be on such terms and conditions and by
such methods as will be specified by the Committee and will be
set forth in an award agreement.
Incentive Awards. Incentive Awards are performance-based
awards that are expressed in U.S. currency, but that may be
payable in the form of cash, stock or a combination of both, and
are payable upon the satisfaction of pre-determined performance
goals over performance periods. Incentive awards may be either
annual incentive awards (that measure performance over a period
of one year or less) or long-term incentive awards (that measure
performance over a period in excess of one year). The terms of a
participants incentive award will be established by the
Committee and will be set forth in an award agreement.
Awards Granted at Fair Market Value. The exercise price
of a stock option and the grant price of a SAR may not be less
than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Unisys common
stock on the date of grant. In addition, if the value of another
stock-based award is based on spread value, the grant price for
the other stock-based award may not be less than 100% of the
fair market value on the date of grant. The only exception is
for awards made in substitution for similar awards made to a
participant under a predecessor company plan that has been
assumed by the Company as a result of a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or other similar transaction.
Minimum Vesting Period For Awards. Except in the case of
a new-hire award or under such other circumstances deemed
appropriate by the Committee, no stock option, SAR, restricted
share or other stock-based award will be granted with a vesting
period of less than one year.
Stock Option/SAR Repricing. Except for automatic
adjustments to reflect a merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, share exchange, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, issuance of rights or
warrants, or other similar event, stock options and SARs may not
be repriced (whether through modification of the exercise or
grant
14
price after the date of grant or through an option or SAR
exchange program) without the approval of the Companys
stockholders.
Award Limitations. The total number of restricted shares
and other shares of stock underlying stock options, SARs and
other stock-based awards awarded to any participant during any
year may not exceed (1) 2,000,000 shares multiplied by
(2) the number of calendar years during which the
participant has been eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan
and reduced by (3) the number of shares with respect to
which the participant has received awards of restricted shares,
stock options, SARs and/or other stock-based awards under the
2007 Plan. An annual incentive award paid to a participant may
not exceed $5,000,000. A long-term incentive award paid to a
participant may not exceed $3,000,000 times the number of years
in the performance cycle applicable to the award.
Performance-Based Awards. Any award granted under the
2007 Plan may be conditioned on the attainment of one or more
performance goals over a specified performance cycle. If the
Committee intends that an award made to a covered
employee (generally the chief executive officer and the
four most highly compensated executive officers) will constitute
performance-based compensation within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the
performance goals will be based on one or more of the following
criteria: earnings per share; total stockholder return;
operating income; net income; cash flow; free cash flow; return
on equity; return on capital; revenue growth; earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA); stock price;
debt-to-capital ratio;
stockholders equity per share; operating income as a
percent of revenue; gross profit as a percent of revenue;
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
revenue; operating cash flow; pre-tax profit; orders; revenue;
and customer value. The performance goals may relate to results
obtained by the individual, the Company, a subsidiary or any
business unit, division or geographic region thereof.
Change In Control. In the event of a change in control,
as defined in the 2007 Plan, all stock options and SARs will
become fully vested and immediately exercisable. All
restrictions applicable to outstanding restricted shares and
other stock-based awards that are not performance-related will
lapse. Outstanding incentive awards and other stock-based awards
that are performance-related will become vested and will be paid
out based on the targeted award opportunity of such awards for
the full performance cycle.
Plan Administration. The 2007 Plan will be administered
by the Committee, which will have the power to interpret the
plan and to adopt such rules and guidelines for carrying out the
plan as it may deem appropriate. The Committee will have the
authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans
as may be necessary or desirable to comply with the laws,
regulations, compensation practices and tax and accounting
principles of the countries in which the Company or a subsidiary
may operate to assure the viability of the benefits of awards
made to individuals employed in such countries and to meet the
objectives of the plan. Subject to the terms of the plan, the
Committee will have the authority to determine those individuals
eligible to receive awards and the amount, type and terms of
each award and to establish and administer any performance goals
applicable to such awards. The Committee may delegate its
authority and power under the plan in whole or in part to a
subcommittee consisting of two or more non-employee directors
(who are outside directors within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) or, with
respect to determinations and decisions regarding participants
who are not elected officers or non-employee directors, to one
or more officers of the Company, subject to guidelines
prescribed by the Committee.
15
Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend, suspend
or terminate the 2007 Plan at any time, provided that no such
amendment will be made without stockholder approval if such
approval is required under applicable law or if such amendment
would increase the total number of shares of common stock that
may be distributed under the plan. Except as set forth in any
award agreement, no amendment or termination of the plan may
materially and adversely affect any outstanding award under the
plan without the award recipients consent. No award may be
granted under the 2007 Plan after April 25, 2017.
New Plan Benefits
Because benefits under the 2007 Plan will depend on the
discretion of the Committee and the fair market value of the
Companys common stock at various future dates, it is not
possible to determine the benefits that will be received if the
2007 Plan is approved by stockholders. The table below shows
benefits under the 2003 Plan for the year ended
December 31, 2006 received by or allocated to the executive
officers named on page 33, all elected officers as a group,
all non-employee directors as a group and all other employees as
a group.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a brief description of the principal
U.S. federal income tax consequences, based on current law,
of awards under the 2007 Plan.
Tax Consequences to Participants. Generally, when a
participant receives an award under the 2007 Plan, the
participants receipt of cash or Company stock in
settlement of the award is conditioned on the participants
performing future services for the Company and/or the attainment
of performance goals. The award, therefore, is not taxable at
grant. Instead, when and if a participant later receives cash in
settlement of the award, he or she will have income, taxable at
ordinary income rates, equal to the amount of cash received.
Similarly, when and if a participant receives Company stock in
settlement of an award, he or she will, subject to
16
special rules described below, have income, taxable at ordinary
income rates, equal to the excess of the fair market value of
the stock on that date over the amount, if any, the participant
paid for the stock.
Thus, participants generally will be taxable on any cash or the
fair market value of any stock received in settlement of an
incentive award or other stock-based award or upon exercise of a
SAR. Similarly, participants will have taxable income on
exercise of a nonqualified stock option equal to the difference
between the fair market value of the stock subject to the option
and the exercise price of the option.
Special rules apply in the case of an ISO. Participants
generally recognize no taxable income on exercise of an ISO.
Instead, they have gain, taxable at capital gains rates, upon
the disposition of the stock acquired on exercise of the ISO in
an amount equal to the excess of the amount realized on
disposition of the stock over the exercise price of the ISO. (In
some cases, participants may become subject to tax as the result
of the exercise of an ISO, because the excess of the fair market
value of the stock at exercise over the exercise price is an
adjustment item for alternative minimum tax purposes.) The
special tax treatment afforded to ISOs is only available,
however, if the participant does not dispose of the stock
acquired upon exercise of the ISO before the first anniversary
of the date on which he or she exercised the ISO or, if later,
the second anniversary of the date on which the ISO was granted.
If the participant disposes of stock before the expiration of
this holding period, a disqualifying disposition
occurs and the participant will recognize income, taxable at
ordinary income rates, in the year of the disqualifying
disposition. The amount of this income will generally be equal
to the excess, if any, of the lesser of (1) the fair market
value of the stock on the date of exercise and (2) the
amount realized upon disposition of the stock over the exercise
price paid for the stock. If the amount realized upon a
disqualifying disposition is greater than the fair market value
of the stock on the date of exercise, the difference will be
taxable to the employee as capital gain.
Special rules also apply to awards of restricted shares. A
participant generally will not recognize taxable ordinary income
when he or she receives restricted shares. Instead, the
participant will have taxable income in the first year in which
the shares cease to be subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture, generally when all applicable restrictions lapse.
The participant will then have taxable income equal to the fair
market value of the stock at that time over the amount, if any,
the participant paid for the stock. The participant may,
however, make an election to include in income, when the
restricted stock is first transferred to him or her, an amount
equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock at
that time over the amount, if any, paid for the stock. The
result of this election is that appreciation in the value of the
stock after the date of transfer is then taxable as capital
gain, rather than as ordinary income.
Tax Consequences to the Company. Generally, any time a
participant recognizes taxable income, as opposed to capital
gain, as the result of the settlement of any award under the
2007 Plan, the Company will be entitled to a deduction equal to
the amount of income recognized by the participant.
Other Tax Considerations. Internal Revenue Code
Section 162(m) places a $1,000,000 annual limit on the
compensation deductible by the Company paid to covered employees
(as described above). The limit, however, does not apply to
qualified performance-based compensation. The
Company believes that awards of stock options, SARs and other
awards payable upon the attainment of performance goals under
the 2007 Plan will qualify as qualified performance-based
compensation. Also, awards that are granted, accelerated or
enhanced upon the occurrence of a change in control may give
rise, in whole or in part, to excess
17
parachute payments within the meaning of Internal Revenue
Code Section 280G and, to such extent, will be
non-deductible by the Company and subject to a 20% excise tax on
the participant.
State and local tax consequences may in some cases differ from
the federal tax consequences. In addition, awards under the 2007
Plan may be made to participants who are subject to tax in
jurisdictions other than the United States and may result in
consequences different from those described above.
The foregoing summary of the income tax consequences in respect
of the 2007 Plan is for general information only. Interested
parties should consult their own advisors as to specific tax
consequences, including the application and effect of foreign,
state and local tax laws.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR
approval of the Unisys Corporation 2007 Long-Term Incentive and
Equity Compensation Plan.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL
(Corporate Political Contributions and Trade Association
Payments)
The Calvert Social Index Fund, 4550 Montgomery Avenue, Bethesda,
MD 20814, beneficial owner of 3,375 shares of the
Companys common stock, has proposed the adoption of the
following resolution:
Resolved, that the shareholders of Unisys Corporation
(Company) hereby request that the Company provide a
report, updated semi-annually, disclosing the Companys:
|
|
|
|
1. |
Policies and procedures for political contributions and
expenditures (both direct and indirect) made with corporate
funds. |
|
|
2. |
Monetary and non-monetary political contributions and
expenditures not deductible under section 162(e)(1)(B) of
the Internal Revenue Code, including but not limited to
contributions to or expenditures on behalf of political
candidates, political parties, political committees and other
political entities organized and operating under 26 USC
Sec. 527 of the Internal Revenue Code and any portion of any
dues or similar payments made to any tax exempt organization
that is used for an expenditure or contribution if made directly
by the corporation would not be deductible under
Section 162(e)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
report shall include the following: |
|
|
|
|
a. |
An accounting of the Companys funds that are used for
political contributions or expenditures as described above; |
|
|
b. |
Identification of the person or persons in the Company who
participated in making the decisions to make the political
contribution or expenditure; and |
|
|
c. |
The internal guidelines or policies, if any, governing the
Companys political contributions and expenditures. |
The report shall be presented to the board of directors
audit committee or other relevant oversight committee and posted
on the companys website to reduce costs to shareholders.
Stockholder Supporting Statement
As long-term shareholders of Unisys Corporation, we support
policies that apply transparency and accountability to corporate
spending on political activities. Such disclosure is consistent
with public policy and in the best interest of the
Companys shareholders.
Company executives exercise wide discretion over the use of
corporate resources for political activities. These decisions
involve political contributions, called soft money,
and payments to trade associations and related groups that are
used for political activities. Most of these expenditures are
not disclosed. According to the Center for Political
Accountability (http://policialaccountability.net),
Unisys Corporation has contributed more than $135,000 in
corporate funds since the 2002 election cycle. However, its
payments to trade associations used for political activities are
undisclosed and unknown. These activities include direct and
indirect political contributions to candidates, political
parties or political organizations; independent expenditures; or
electioneering communications on behalf of a federal, state or
local candidate. The result: shareholders and, in many cases,
management do not know how trade associations use their
companys money politically. The proposal asks the Company
to disclose its political contributions and payments to trade
associations and other tax-exempt organizations.
20
Absent a system of accountability, company assets can be used
for political objectives that are not shared by and may be
inimical to the interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Relying on publicly available data does not provide a complete
picture of the Companys political expenditures. The
Companys Board and its shareholders need complete
disclosure to be able to fully evaluate the political use of
corporate assets. Thus, we urge your support for this critical
governance reform.
Statement of Unisys in Opposition to Stockholder Proposal
The Board of Directors has considered the above proposal and
recommends that you vote against it for the following reasons:
Amounts the Company spends on political contributions and trade
association memberships are insignificant in comparison to the
size and scope of its business. Unisys has in place effective
reporting and compliance procedures to ensure that it makes
contributions in accordance with applicable laws. While the
Company pays membership dues and fees for services such as
educational programs to trade associations, it does not make
political contributions through them.
The Unisys Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, which is
available at
http://www.unisys.com/common/investors/other/Code of Ethics.pdf,
addresses Unisys policies and procedures for political
contributions and activity. Under this policy, no Company funds,
products, services or other resources may be contributed
directly or indirectly to any elected officials, political
candidates or parties at the U.S. federal level.
Unisys has established a Political Action Committee
(PAC) in the United States called the Unisys Employees
Political Action Committee. The Unisys PAC accepts employee
contributions in order to make political contributions to
U.S. federal candidates supportive of the interests of
Unisys employees. All contributions to the PAC are voluntary and
are reported in filings with the Federal Election Commission,
which are publicly available.
Outside the United States, and within the United States at the
state and local levels, corporate resources may in certain
circumstances be contributed to elected officials, political
candidates or parties to the extent permitted by law and in
accordance with Company policy. Unisys publicly discloses
information about these contributions as required by applicable
law.
Implementation of the proposal would involve additional time and
expense to the Company with little, if any, corresponding
benefit for stockholders. Accordingly, the Board believes there
is no need for the Company to use its financial and other
resources to provide additional information.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST
the adoption of the foregoing stockholder proposal.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL
(Sustainability Report)
The New York City Employees Retirement System, the New
York City Teachers Retirement System, the New York City
Police Pension Fund, the New York City Fire Department Pension
Fund and the New York City Board of Education Retirement System,
c/o the Office of the Comptroller of the City of New York,
1 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007-2341, beneficial
21
owners, collectively, of 929,188 shares of the
Companys common stock, have proposed the adoption of the
following resolution:
WHEREAS:
Investors increasingly seek disclosure of companies social
and environmental practices in the belief that they impact
shareholder value. Many investors believe companies that are
good employers, environmental stewards, and corporate citizens
are more likely to be accepted in their communities and to
prosper long-term. According to Innovest, an environmental
investment research consultant, major investment firms including
ABN-AMRO, Neuberger Herman, Schroders, T. Rowe Price, and Zurich
Scudder subscribe to information on companies social and
environmental practices.
Sustainability refers to development that meets present needs
without impairing the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs. The Dow Jones Sustainability Group defined
corporate sustainability as a business approach that
creates long-term shareholder value by embracing opportunities
and managing risks deriving from economic, environmental and
social developments.
Globally, approximately 1,900 companies produce reports on
sustainability issues (www.corporateregister.com),
including more than half of the global Fortune 500 (KPMG
International Survey of Corporate Responsibility Reporting 2005).
Companies increasingly recognize that transparency and dialogue
about sustainability are elements of business success. For
example, Unilevers Chairman stated in a 2003 speech,
So when we talk about corporate social responsibility, we
dont see it as something business does to
society but as something that is fundamental to everything we
do. Not just philanthropy or community investment, important
though that is, but the impact of our operations and products as
well as the interaction we have with the societies we
serve.
An October 6, 2004 statement published by social
research analysts reported that they value public reporting
because we find compelling the large and growing body of
evidence linking companies strong performance addressing
social and environmental issues to strong performance in
creating long-term shareholder value...We believe that companies
can more effectively communicate their perspectives and report
performance on complex social and environmental issues through a
comprehensive report than through press releases and other ad
hoc communications. (www.socialinvest.org)
RESOLVED: Shareholders request that the Board of
Directors issue a sustainability report to shareholders, at
reasonable cost, and omitting proprietary information, by
December 31, 2007.
Supporting Statement
The Report should include the companys definition of
sustainability, as well as a company-wide review of company
policies, practices, and indicators related to measuring
long-term social and environmental sustainability.
We recommend that the company use the Global Reporting
Initiatives Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (The
Guidelines) to prepare the report. The Global Reporting
Initiative (www.globalreporting.org) is an international
organization with representatives from the business,
environmental, human rights, and labor communities. The
Guidelines provide guidance on report content, including
performance in six categories (direct economic impacts,
environmental, labor practices and decent work conditions, human
rights, society, and product
22
responsibility). The Guidelines provide a flexible reporting
system that permits the omission of content that is not relevant
to company operations. Almost 900 companies use or consult
the Guidelines for sustainability reporting.
Statement of Unisys in Opposition to Stockholder Proposal
The Board of Directors has considered the above proposal and
recommends that you vote against it for the following reasons:
Unisys understands that social responsibility enhances the
Companys reputation and strengthens long-term
relationships with clients, partners and others, who prefer
doing business with a responsible corporate citizen. The
Companys existing social responsibility and environmental
practices already adequately address the concerns raised in this
stockholder proposal. Unisys provides information on those
practices at http://www.unisys.com/about
unisys/commitments/index.htm. We review and update the
information we provide annually.
For the fifth consecutive year, Unisys has earned a place in the
Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. The purpose of this index
is to provide investors with an independent benchmark based on
economic, environmental and social criteria, and the
Companys selection recognizes its proactive policies in
responsibly managing the economic, environmental and social
aspects of doing business. The index includes approximately
300 companies worldwide (of 2,500 considered for
inclusion). Only 23 technology companies (including Unisys) are
included in the index, nine of which are U.S. companies. In
the computer services and Internet industry, only three
companies (including Unisys) are in the index.
The Companys Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and its
Environmental Safety and Health policies codify its culture of
conducting business as a responsible citizen, ensuring
compliance with applicable governmental environmental, safety
and health requirements, building a business environment where
diversity is respected, sought and valued, and providing a safe
and healthy workplace. Unisys has a staff of skilled
professionals who are responsible for identifying and resolving
environmental, safety and health issues in a timely,
cost-effective and technically sound manner.
Unisys believes in conducting business with respect and concern
for the environment. We take a proactive role in maintaining a
safe and healthy workplace, operating our facilities in an
environmentally sound manner, and promoting programs that
support environmental stewardship. For example, the Company
promotes recycling programs worldwide and frequently
incorporates recycled materials into its products. In fact,
since 1997, more than 26 million pounds of obsolete
products have been collected and processed through Unisys
parts-recovery facilities and third party recycling operations,
with many of the parts refurbished for future use. Unisys
instituted programs for recovery and recycling of
end-of-life electronic
products well in advance of any governmental directives or
regulations, and it is committed to complying with governmental
legislative and regulatory requirements for providing
environmentally sound recovery, recycling, and disposal of
customer end-of-life
Unisys name-branded electrical and electronic equipment.
In designing its products, Unisys follows programs to ensure
that parts it obtains from external sources and uses in its
products comply with applicable regulatory requirements as they
evolve around the globe. These programs have resulted in a
significant reduction in the presence of hazardous substances in
our supplier parts. In addition, Unisys uses environmentally
safe packing materials and shipping cartons.
23
Unisys has successfully implemented an energy management program
to reduce energy consumption throughout the company. It
participates in the Environmental Protection Agencys Green
Lights program, which encourages the use of energy-saving
lighting fixtures, light motion sensors and other sophisticated
energy management systems. It has expanded use of Internet-based
training and video conferencing, which has reduced employee
travel, consequently reducing air pollution. The Companys
Flexible Workplace program allows employees to work from home,
which reduces the emissions associated with commuting to the
office. This program also provides a work-life balance for
employees.
Unisys has long supported science and technology education in
the community. The Company is proud of its long history of
support for The Franklin Institute Science Museum in
Philadelphia, and of its efforts to preserve its records of the
early years of the computer industry and make them available to
the public for research purposes.
Unisys has a long history of support for United Way agencies in
communities where employees live and work. In 2005, Unisys made
a special contribution to the Red Cross to support relief
efforts in the wake of Hurricane Katrinas devastation
along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Company is a founding donor
of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, an
independent, non-partisan national organization dedicated to
increasing public understanding of, and appreciation for, the
U.S. Constitution and its history and contemporary
relevance. The Company supports employee diversity councils,
whose leadership spans gender, ethnicity and cultures.
In summary, for a considerable number of years Unisys has been
proactive in responsibly managing the economic, environmental
and social aspects of doing business. The Company publicly
discloses its social responsibility and environmental practices
on its web site and, for the past five years, has been named to
the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. Producing an
additional report of the nature described in the stockholder
proposal is unnecessary and would be costly and time-intensive.
The Company believes that its corporate resources should be put
to more productive use.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST
the adoption of the foregoing stockholder proposal.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion & Analysis
Compensation Philosophy
The Companys executive compensation program is based upon
the following objectives:
|
|
|
|
|
attract and retain executives responsible for the Companys
long-term success; |
|
|
|
reward executives for achieving both financial and strategic
company goals; |
|
|
|
align executive and stockholder interests through long-term,
equity-based plans; and |
|
|
|
provide a compensation package that recognizes individual
contributions as well as overall business results. |
Given these objectives, the Companys executive
compensation program is designed to provide a mix of fixed
compensation and at-risk compensation that is heavily weighted
towards variable compensation tied to the achievement of
specific business objectives and corporate financial goals (both
short-term and long-term), as well as to the attainment of the
executives individual performance objectives. To that end,
the principal components of executive officer compensation are:
|
|
|
|
|
base salary; |
|
|
|
annual cash incentives tied to annual corporate and individual
performance; and |
|
|
|
long-term incentives in the form of restricted stock units,
stock options and/or other stock-based awards designed to give
the executive a continuing stake in the long-term success of the
Company and to align the executives interests with those
of stockholders. |
In addition, executive officers receive other benefits that the
Company believes are reasonable and consistent with its overall
compensation program. These include supplemental retirement
programs, executive life insurance and executive perquisites.
The Companys executive compensation program also takes
into account the compensation practices of companies with which
Unisys competes or could compete for executive talent. In
establishing total compensation for executive officers, the
Compensation Committee reviews total annual compensation, as
well as each component of total compensation, against executive
compensation benchmarking data provided by Towers Perrin, the
committees outside compensation consultant. The benchmark
data reflect median compensation levels for persons holding
comparable positions at the benchmark companies. The benchmark
companies consist of the approximately 25 companies in the
Towers Perrin TriComp survey (companies that are principally in
the businesses of systems integration and consulting,
information technology outsourcing, infrastructure services and
hardware technology) and approximately 55 companies from a
variety of industries that are comparable to the Company in
terms of revenue size and global scope. In general, total target
compensation, as well as each element of total compensation, is
intended to be consistent with the median for the benchmark
companies. However, because both individual and corporate
performance are taken into account in determining compensation,
any given executive can be compensated at, above or below the
median benchmark levels. For 2006, base salaries and annual
incentive targets were generally in line with the benchmark
companies. For the reasons
27
set forth below, long-term incentive targets were below the
benchmark levels, and, as a result, total target compensation
was below competitive levels.
In addition to reviewing executive officer compensation against
the benchmark data from the two peer groups, the Compensation
Committee also solicits input from the Companys president
and chief executive officer regarding total compensation for
those executives reporting directly to him.
Principal Components of Executive Officer
Compensation
As set forth above, the principal elements of the Companys
executive compensation program consist of base salary, annual
variable cash incentives and long-term incentive compensation.
Each element of compensation is reviewed individually and
considered collectively with the other elements of the
Companys compensation program to ensure that it is
consistent with the goals and objectives of both that particular
element of compensation and the overall compensation program.
Base Salary
Base salaries for elected officers are initially determined by
evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and the
experience of the individual and comparing such salaries to the
benchmark compensation data. Increases in salary are based on
the Compensation Committees evaluation of such factors as
the level of responsibility, individual performance, pay levels
of both the executive in question and other similarly situated
executives and the benchmark compensation data. In February
2006, each of the Named Officers listed in the Summary
Compensation table on page 33 received increases in base
salary. Except for Mr. Blackmore and Mr. Baroni, these
increases represented an approximately 5% increase over 2005
salary. Each of Mr. Blackmore and Mr. Baroni received
a greater percentage increase to put his base salary in line
with benchmark base salaries. The amount of each increase and
the resultant base salary for 2006 were as follows:

Variable Annual Incentive Compensation
During 2006, all of the Companys elected officers
participated in the Companys executive variable
compensation plan (EVC Plan) and the Companys
turnaround incentive program.
28
EVC Plan
The EVC Plans purpose is to motivate and reward elected
officers and other key executives for the attainment of
corporate and/or individual performance goals. Under the plan,
the Compensation Committee has the discretion to determine the
conditions (including performance objectives) applicable to
annual award payments and the amounts of such awards. The amount
of incentive compensation awards payable under the plan depends
upon (1) a participants target annual incentive,
(2) the amount of funding the Company makes available for
the plan and (3) individual performance. Individual targets
for elected officers are approved by the committee and are
intended to be in line with benchmark levels and to take into
account the responsibilities of the individuals position.
For 2006, target award amounts, which are typically stated as a
percentage of base salary, were as follows for the Named
Officers: Joseph M. McGrath 100%; Janet B.
Haugen 85%; Peter Blackmore 85%; Greg J.
Baroni 85%; Randy J. Hendricks 85%.
The extent to which the Company makes funding available for the
plan depends upon the degree to which the Company achieves
performance targets approved by the Compensation Committee at
the beginning of each year. For 2006, the committee determined
that awards under the plan would be funded if the Company met
certain revenue and pre-tax profit performance targets
(exclusive of pension expense, gains from divestitures and
restructuring charges) that were based on the Companys
Board-approved operating and strategic plans. Each target was
weighted 50%. Threshold, target and maximum performance levels
were set for each criterion. The amount of funding to be made
available in respect of each criterion could range from 50% of
the total target awards (if threshold performance levels were
met) to 150% (if maximum levels were achieved). Performance at
the target levels would result in funding at 100%. No funding
would be provided by the Company in respect of a criterion if
performance was below the threshold level. In addition, the
committee determined that if pre-tax profit at the target level
was not achieved, all funding for the year would be reduced by
50%. Both the pre-tax profit and revenue goals were subject to
adjustment by the chief executive officer and the Compensation
Committee for one-time and extraordinary items. Assuming
available funding, the amount of awards granted to individual
executives would then depend upon individual performance and
could range from 0% to 150% of the funded target amounts.
For 2006, the Companys revenue was below the threshold
level, and therefore the Company made funding available only in
respect of pre-tax profit. In determining the amount of funding
the Company should make available, the Compensation Committee
considered the differences between actual results and operating
plan assumptions regarding divestitures and restructurings. As a
result, the total amount of funding made available was
approximately 17% of the total target amount. Given the limited
amount of funds available for payments to EVC Plan participants,
the Compensation Committee determined not to pay EVC awards to
the Companys officers, including the Named Officers, in
respect of 2006 because these individuals also participated in
the 2006 turnaround cash incentive program discussed below.
2006 Turnaround Cash Incentive Program
On February 9, 2006, the Compensation Committee approved a
turnaround cash incentive program to incent certain key
employees of the Company, including the Named Officers, to
execute the turnaround of the Company. Under this program, up to
$12.6 million in the aggregate was made available for
payment as a turnaround incentive. Amounts actually payable to a
participant would depend primarily on the participants
achievement of individual revenue, cost management and/or cash
management targets for 2006. Participants could
29
receive from 0 to 100% of the target award depending on the
degree to which their incentive targets were achieved. Payments
under this program were subject to the discretion of the
Compensation Committee and the chief executive officer. In
February 2007, the Compensation Committee determined, based on
the overall achievement by all participants of the incentive
targets, that the total amount payable to all participants would
be 80% of the total target award amount. The target award amount
for each Named Officer is set forth in the Grants of Plan-Based
Awards table under the heading Estimated Future Payouts
Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards, and the amount
actually payable to each Named Officer under the program is set
forth in the Summary Compensation Table under the heading
Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.
Long-Term Incentive Awards
Long-term incentives in the form of equity-based compensation
are intended to ensure that the Companys executives have a
continuing stake in the long-term success of the Company and to
align their interests with those of stockholders. In 2006,
long-term incentives generally took the form of restricted stock
unit awards (RSUs) that vest into shares of Unisys
stock after certain restrictions lapse or performance goals are
met. Prior to 2006, the Company had generally granted long-term
incentive awards in the form of stock options. The Company
elected to grant RSUs instead of stock options in 2006 because
RSUs are perceived by employees to have a greater value than
stock options, and the Company could grant fewer RSUs for the
same amount of expense, but lower dilution. In 2006, the Company
granted stock options only to certain newly hired employees as
part of their new hire compensation package.
In determining RSU awards made to the elected officers, the
Compensation Committee considered the number of shares available
for grant under the Companys long-term incentive plan, the
potential dilutive impact of grants, the financial expense
caused by such grants and the appropriate allocation of grants
among elected officers and all other eligible employees. The
committee also considered the benchmark data in setting the
general parameters for awards. The individual awards within
these parameters depended upon the committees assessment
of the individuals performance. The 2006 grant for elected
officers was below the median for the benchmark companies,
primarily because the Company did not want to incur the
additional compensation expense that would have been required to
be recorded if the grants had been larger. The total number of
RSUs granted to each Named Officer in 2006 is set forth in the
Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table, under the headings
Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity-Incentive Plan
Awards and All Other Stock Awards.
For 2006, 75% of the RSU award was a performance-based award, in
keeping with the Companys emphasis on tying compensation
to the achievement of corporate financial goals, and 25% of the
RSU award was a time-based award. The time-based portion vests
into shares of Unisys common stock in three equal annual
installments beginning with the first anniversary of the date of
the grant and requires that the executive remain with the
Company over this time period to receive the award. The
performance-based portion also vests into shares of Unisys
common stock in three equal annual installments beginning with
the first anniversary of the date of grant, but vesting depends
upon the degree to which pre-tax profit (exclusive of pension
expense, gains from divestitures and restructuring charges)
and/or revenue growth rate goals are met in the related 2006,
2006-2007 and 2006-2008 performance periods. Threshold, target
and maximum performance levels were set for each of the two
performance measures for each performance period, and each
performance measure was weighted 50%. Performance-based units
will be converted into shares at rates ranging from
0.5 shares per unit if the threshold level
30
is met to 1.0 share per unit if the target level is met and
to 1.5 shares per unit if the maximum level is met. No
shares will be issued if threshold levels are not achieved.
For 2006, the Companys pre-tax profit performance was at
target, and revenue was below threshold. Therefore, the
performance-based RSUs associated with the 2006 performance
period were converted into shares at a ratio of 0.5 shares
per unit (1.0 share for each unit based on pre-tax profit
and no shares for units based on revenue growth). Based on 2006
performance, the Company anticipates that pre-tax profit goals
for the remaining performance periods are achievable at target
and that the Company will need to over perform against its
operating and strategic plans in order to achieve the revenue
targets.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
Since 1998, the Company has had stock ownership guidelines in
place for both directors and elected officers in order to more
closely link their interests with those of stockholders. Under
the guidelines, as revised in 2005, elected officers are
expected to own a specified number of shares of Unisys stock as
follows: chief executive officer
200,000 shares; executive vice presidents
75,000 shares; senior vice presidents
45,000 shares; vice presidents
25,000 shares. Stock options, including vested stock
options, and restricted stock units do not count toward
fulfillment of the ownership guidelines. The ownership
guidelines are expected to be met by 2010, or within five years
for newly elected officers. The Compensation Committee reviews
compliance with the guidelines on an annual basis. The number of
shares owned by each of the Named Officers is set forth in the
stock ownership table on page 26.
Stock Option/ RSU Granting Practices
As set forth above, in 2006, long-term incentives generally took
the form of RSUs, rather than stock options, and stock options
were granted only to certain newly hired employees as part of
their compensation package. Prior to 2006, the Company had
primarily granted long-term incentives in the form of stock
options. The most prevalent form of stock option grant was the
annual grant made to executives. The annual grants were approved
at a specified, regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation
Committee early each year. Since 2000, annual stock option
grants had been approved at the February meeting; prior to 2000,
annual grants were approved at the April meeting. For grants in
the United States, the grant date was always the date of the
meeting, and the exercise price was at least 100% of the fair
market value (calculated as the average of the quoted high and
low sales prices on the New York Stock Exchange) of Unisys
common stock on the date of grant. The dates of regularly
scheduled board and committee meetings are generally determined
many months in advance as part of the normal board calendaring
process.
Stock options granted as part of the hiring process have a grant
date no earlier than the date of approval, have an exercise
price at least equal to fair market value on the date of grant
and, except as noted below, are approved by the Compensation
Committee or the Board of Directors. New hire stock option
grants are typically reviewed and approved by the Compensation
Committee at its regularly scheduled meetings. For these grants,
the date of grant is the date of the meeting, if the individual
receiving the grant has already commenced employment at Unisys.
If the individual has not yet commenced employment, the date of
grant is the business day following the individuals first
day of employment. The Compensation Committee has also delegated
to the Companys chief executive officer the authority to
grant a limited number of stock options during the year to
eligible individuals (other than the chief
31
executive officer, his direct reports and their direct reports).
The committees delegation of authority specifies that for
these stock options the grant date will be either (1) the
first business day of the month following the date of the chief
executive officers approval, if the individual has
commenced employment at Unisys, or (2) if the individual
has not yet commenced employment, the first business day of the
month following the individuals date of hire. The chief
executive officer has no discretion with respect to choosing the
grant date, and in all cases, the date of grant occurs after the
date the grantee commences employment with Unisys.
2006 was the first year in which long-term incentive awards
primarily took the form of RSUs. As with stock options, the
principal award was the annual grant to executives. In 2006,
this grant was not made at the February meeting because this was
the first time that performance-based units were to be granted,
and the performance criteria had not yet been finalized. The
grant was made on March 8, 2006, on the day the
Compensation Committee approved the performance targets. As with
stock options, RSUs are also granted as part of the hiring
process. The same procedures regarding timing of stock option
grants to new employees also apply with respect to RSUs granted
to new hires.
Other Benefits
Elected officers participate in the retirement programs
discussed below under Pension Benefits and
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation. In addition,
the Company has historically offered life insurance benefits to
executive officers through split-dollar and later through
corporate-owned life insurance. All split-dollar life policies
for current executives are being converted to corporate-owned
life insurance policies in 2007. Life insurance premiums paid in
2006 for each of the Named Officers are disclosed in the
footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table. Perquisites
provided to executive officers include car allowance, club
memberships, financial counseling/tax preparation services,
annual physical and umbrella liability insurance.
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a
$1 million annual limit on the amount of compensation that
may be deducted by the Company with respect to each Named
Officer employed as of the last day of the applicable year. The
limitation does not apply to compensation based on the
attainment of objective performance goals.
The Companys 2003 Long-Term Incentive and Equity
Compensation Plan and the proposed 2007 Long-Term Incentive and
Equity Compensation Plan that has been submitted to stockholders
for their approval at the 2007 annual meeting permit the
Compensation Committee to design compensation awards to Named
Officers that will meet the requirements of Section 162(m)
of the Internal Revenue Code. The committee may grant awards
under the plans that meet the requirements of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code at such times
as the committee believes that such awards are in the best
interests of the Company. The committee has considered the
impact of the deduction limitation and has determined that it is
not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders to
base compensation solely on objective performance criteria.
Rather, the committee believes that it should retain the
flexibility to base compensation on its subjective evaluation of
performance as well as on the attainment of objective goals.

$10,215, which consist of car allowance, financial counseling
reimbursement, country club dues and umbrella liability
insurance premium. The incremental cost to the Company of
personal use of company aircraft was calculated by multiplying
the average cost per mile flown on company aircraft by the
number of miles attributable to the individuals personal
use of the aircraft. The Company determines average cost per
mile based on operational costs such as cost of fuel,
trip-related maintenance, crew travel expense, on-board
catering, landing fees and trip-related hangar and parking
costs. Because the company aircraft are used primarily for
business travel, the incremental cost calculations do not
include any fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such
as pilots salaries, aircraft lease payments and the cost
of maintenance not related to trips. Miles attributable to the
individual include miles actually flown by the individual, as
well as any related deadhead legs, where the
aircraft flies empty to pick up the individual and/or to return
to its home base.

Awards shown under Estimated Future Payouts Under
Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards are target award amounts
under the Companys turnaround incentive program, which was
approved on February 9, 2006 to incent certain key
employees to execute the turnaround of the Company. Under this
program, amounts payable were dependent upon the achievement by
each participant of individual revenue, cost management and/or
cash management targets for 2006. Participants could receive
from 0 to 100% of the target award depending on the degree to
which their incentive targets were achieved. Amounts actually
payable to each participant were determined in February 2007,
and the amounts payable to each Named Officer are set forth in
the Summary Compensation Table under the heading
Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.
Awards shown under Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity
Incentive Plan Awards are performance-based restricted
stock units granted on March 8, 2006 under the Unisys
Corporation 2003 Long-Term Incentive and Equity Compensation
Plan. Performance-based
34
units will vest into shares of Unisys common stock in three
equal annual installments beginning with the first anniversary
of the date of grant if pre-tax profit and/or revenue growth
goals are achieved in the related 2006, 2006-2007 and 2006-2008
performance periods. Performance-based units will be converted
into shares at a rate of 0 to 1.5 shares per unit depending
on the degree to which the performance goals are met. As more
fully discussed above in Compensation Discussion and
Analysis, awards in respect of the 2006 performance cycle
were converted into 0.5 shares per unit.
Awards shown under All Other Stock Awards are
time-based restricted stock units granted on March 8, 2006
under the Unisys Corporation 2003 Long-Term Incentive and Equity
Compensation Plan. Time-based units will vest into shares of
Unisys common stock in three equal annual installments beginning
with the first anniversary of the date of grant.

Pension Benefits
Each Named Officer participates in three pension plans sponsored
by Unisys in the United States:
|
|
|
|
|
Unisys Pension Plan (UPP) a qualified defined
benefit pension plan available to all U.S. employees who met
eligibility requirements by December 31, 2006. |
|
|
|
Unisys Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan
(SERIP) a nonqualified excess defined benefit plan
available to all U.S. employees who met eligibility requirements
by December 31, 2006 and whose qualified plan benefits are
limited by the Internal Revenue Code or limited because they
have deferred compensation under non-qualified plans. The plan
is designed to make up for the benefit shortfall created by the
Internal Revenue Code limits and the non-qualified deferrals of
compensation. |
|
|
|
Unisys Corporation Elected Officer Pension Plan
(EOPP) a nonqualified defined benefit plan available
to all elected officers who met eligibility requirements by
December 31, 2006. The plan is designed to provide a
minimum target of retirement income for executives. |
The table below presents pension plan information as of
December 31, 2006 for the Named Officers.

The present value of the accumulated benefit has been determined
assuming benefits commence as of the earliest date at which each
executive is entitled to unreduced benefits in total from all
three plans (the later of age 62 and achievement of vesting
requirements). The calculations use the same actuarial
assumptions used for financial disclosure requirements for the
pension plans, except that the calculations assume that each of
the above individuals will remain with the Company until such
retirement date and therefore do not apply any decrements in
respect of termination, disability and the like. Assumptions as
to life expectancy are based on the RP2000 Mortality Table
projected to 2010 for healthy males and females. The discount
rate used is 6.02%. Where benefits are payable as a 50%
contingent annuity without actuarial reduction, which is the
case for EOPP participants who are married, benefits have been
valued using actuarial factors assuming 80% of plan participants
are married and assuming wives are three years younger than
husbands.
Mr. Blackmores years of credited service in the
U.S. sponsored plans do not reflect his 16.583 years
of service while employed with Unisys in the U.K. However, the
U.K. service is reflected for vesting purposes in the
U.S. plans.
The following summarizes the benefits under the specific plans:
Unisys Pension Plan (UPP)
Prior to December 31, 2006, all employees of Unisys were
eligible to participate in the UPP on the January 1 or
July 1 first following attainment of both age 21 and
one year of service with Unisys. The plan was frozen effective
December 31, 2006, and no new participants are now allowed.
The UPP provides benefits under two benefit formulas:
|
|
|
1. For service beginning on or after January 1, 2003,
benefits accrue each year under a cash balance formula under
which a participants account is credited with an amount
equal to 4% of plan compensation. In addition, the account
balance is credited with interest on a monthly basis using the
annual interest rates on
5-Year Constant
Maturity Treasury Notes, plus 0.25%. Generally, participants
vest in the benefit after completion of five years of service
with Unisys. The vested cash balance benefit is available for
payment following termination of employment, and the normal form
of payment is a life annuity for single participants (the
participant receives the periodic amount during his or her
lifetime, with no survivor benefit payable after his or her
death), or an actuarially reduced 50% contingent annuity for
married participants (the participant receives a reduced
periodic benefit during his or her lifetime to reflect the
survivor payments, and the participants surviving
beneficiary receives 50% of the periodic amount the participant
received). Other annuity forms are also available on an
actuarially equivalent basis. The benefit is also available in
the form of a lump sum distribution. All five Named Officers are
eligible for the cash balance benefit. |
|
|
2. For employees hired prior to January 1, 2003,
benefits are also based on a career pay formula. Each year, the
annual accrued benefit payable to a participant at normal
retirement date (age 65) is increased by 1% of plan
compensation, plus 0.35% of plan compensation in excess of
one-half of the average Social Security taxable wage base for
the five preceding years. Participants ultimately are eligible
for the larger of: (a) the career pay formula through the
date of termination of employment or (b) the career pay
formula accrued through December 31, 2002 plus the cash
balance benefit described above. Generally, participants vest in
the benefit after completion of five years of service with |
38
|
|
|
Unisys. The vested benefit is available for payment following
termination of employment and attainment of early retirement
eligibility (age 55). The benefit is reduced by 0.5% for
each month that the benefit commences prior to age 65.
Should the employee terminate employment after attainment of
both age 55 and 20 years of service with Unisys, the
benefit is reduced by 0.5% for each month that the benefit
commences prior to age 62. The normal form of payment of
the vested career pay benefit is a life annuity for single
participants, or an actuarially reduced 50% contingent annuity
for married participants. Other annuity forms are also available
on an actuarially equivalent basis. All Named Officers, except
Mr. Blackmore, are eligible for the career pay benefit. |
For both formulas, plan compensation is salary, commissions,
overtime pay, paid bonus and paid accrued and unused vacation.
Compensation includes amounts deferred under the Unisys Savings
Plan. Excluded from compensation are severance payments,
supplements, compensation deferred under a non-qualified plan
and other forms of extraordinary compensation. Plan compensation
is limited by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue
Code.
As of December 31, 2006, all Named Officers were vested in
their UPP benefit and would have been eligible to immediately
receive the cash balance portion of their benefit upon
termination of employment. None of the Named Officers is
currently eligible to receive an early retirement benefit under
the career pay formula.
Effective December 31, 2006, benefits ceased to accrue
under the UPP. However, the cash balance accounts continue to
grow with interest credits.
Unisys Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement
Income Plan (SERIP)
Prior to December 31, 2006, all employees of Unisys were
eligible to participate in the SERIP on the January 1 or
July 1 first following attainment of both age 21 and
one year of service with Unisys. The plan was frozen effective
December 31, 2006, and no new participants are now allowed.
The SERIP provides benefits under the same provisions as the UPP
except as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Plan compensation includes compensation deferred under
non-qualified plans and is not limited by Internal Revenue Code
Section 401(a)(17). |
|
|
|
The benefit payable under the UPP is applied as an offset to the
benefits available under the SERIP. |
|
|
|
The vested cash balance portion of the benefit is payable upon
termination of employment (or, in the case of benefits accrued
or vested on or after January 1, 2005, six months following
termination of employment) in the form of a lump sum
distribution. The vested career pay portion of the benefit is
payable following the later of (a) termination of
employment (or, in the case of benefits accrued or vested on or
after January 1, 2005, six months following termination of
employment) or (b) attainment of age 55. The career
pay benefit is payable in the form of a life annuity for single
participants, or an actuarially reduced 50% contingent annuity
for married participants. No optional forms of benefit are
currently available under the SERIP. |
As of December 31, 2006, all Named Officers were vested in
their SERIP benefit and would have been eligible to receive the
cash balance portion of their benefit following termination of
39
employment. None of the Named Officers is currently eligible to
receive an early retirement benefit under the career pay formula.
Effective December 31, 2006, benefits ceased to accrue
under the SERIP. However, the cash balance accounts continue to
grow with interest credits.
The Company has established a grantor trust relating to the
SERIP. If a change in control of the Company occurs, the Company
is required to fund the trust in an amount equal to the present
value of the accrued pension benefits under the plan.
Unisys Corporation Elected Officer Pension Plan
(EOPP)
Only elected officers of Unisys are eligible to participate in
the EOPP. The plan was frozen effective December 31, 2006,
and no new participants are now allowed.
The EOPP provides a gross annual accrued benefit equal to 4% of
final average compensation for each of the first 10 years
of credited service, plus 1% of final average compensation for
each year of credited service in excess of 10 (but not in excess
of 30), minus 50% of the participants Social Security
benefit. This benefit is reduced by 0.5% for each month that the
benefit commences prior to age 62. The vested benefit is
payable following the later of (1) termination of
employment (or, in the case of benefits accrued or vested on or
after January 1, 2005, six months following termination of
employment) or (2) attainment of age 55. The benefit
is payable in the form of a life annuity for single
participants, or a 50% contingent annuity, which is not
actuarially reduced, for married participants. No optional forms
of benefit are currently available under the EOPP. The gross
benefit is offset by the benefits payable under both the UPP and
the SERIP.
Final average compensation is the average of the highest
consecutive 60 months of plan compensation out of the last
120 months of employment. Plan compensation is identical to
that used for the SERIP.
Generally, benefits under the EOPP vest upon the earliest to
occur of (1) attainment of age 55 and 10 years of
service with Unisys, (2) for executives who were
participants between January 1, 1997 and July 19,
2001, attainment of age 50 and five years of service with
Unisys or (3) a change in control of Unisys. As of
December 31, 2006, Mr. McGrath and Mr. Blackmore
were vested in their EOPP benefit. Only Mr. Blackmore is
currently eligible to receive an early retirement benefit.
Effective December 31, 2006, benefits ceased to accrue
under the EOPP.
The Company has established a grantor trust relating to the
EOPP. If a change in control of the Company occurs, the Company
is required to fund the trust in an amount equal to the present
value of the accrued pension benefits under the plan.
Unisys Savings Plan
In conjunction with freezing the UPP, SERIP and EOPP defined
benefit plans, effective January 1, 2007, the Company
increased its matching contributions under the Unisys Savings
Plan, which is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan, to
100% of the first 6% of eligible pay contributed by participants
on a before-tax basis. If a participant would not be eligible to
get the full amount of this Company matching contribution under
the Savings Plan because his or her eligible pay exceeds the
annual compensation limits for qualified plans under the
Internal Revenue Code ($225,000 in 2007), or because the
participant has deferred some
40
compensation under the Companys non-qualified 2005
deferred compensation plan, the Company will automatically
credit the participants memorandum account under the 2005
deferred compensation plan with an amount equal to 6% of such
excess or deferred eligible pay to make up for the Company
matching contributions that would not be permitted under the
Savings Plan.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
The table below shows unaudited information with respect to
compensation of the Named Officers that has been deferred under
a plan that is not tax-qualified. Under the Companys
non-qualified deferred compensation plan, eligible employees may
defer until a future date payment of all or any portion of their
annual salary or bonus, as well as any vested share unit award
under the Companys long-term incentive plan. Amounts
deferred are recorded in a memorandum account for each
participant and are credited or debited with earnings or losses
as if such amounts had been invested in one or more of the
investment options available under the Unisys Savings Plan, as
selected by the participant. Participants may change their
investment options at any time. Account balances will be paid
either in a single lump sum or in annual installments, at the
participants discretion. The memorandum accounts are not
funded, and the right to receive future payments of amounts
recorded in these accounts is an unsecured claim against the
Companys general assets. However, the Company has
established a grantor trust relating to its pre-2005
non-qualified deferred compensation plan. If a change in control
of the Company occurs, the Company is required to fund the trust
in an amount equal to the aggregate account balances under that
plan.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Under the agreements and plans discussed below, the Named
Officers would be entitled to the following payments and
benefits upon termination of employment and/or a change in
control of the Company.
Employment Agreement
On December 22, 2004, the Company and Joseph W. McGrath
signed an employment agreement covering the terms and conditions
of Mr. McGraths employment as President and Chief
Executive Officer for the period from January 1, 2005
through December 31, 2007. The agreement provides for a
minimum base salary of $900,000 per year, subject to
periodic review by the Compensation Committee. In February 2006,
Mr. McGraths annual salary was increased to $950,000.
Mr. McGrath is eligible to receive an annual bonus award at
a target bonus level of not less than 100% of base salary. The
actual bonus payable, if any, will be determined by the
41
Board in its sole discretion after receiving a recommendation
from the Compensation Committee. Mr. McGrath is eligible to
participate in the benefit programs generally made available to
executive officers and is eligible to receive stock option and
other long-term incentive awards under the Companys
long-term incentive plan. The agreement provides for
Mr. McGrath to receive certain benefits if his employment
is terminated by the Company without cause or by
Mr. McGrath for good reason, defined generally as a
reduction in aggregate compensation target, a reduction in
duties or authority or removal as chief executive officer. In
such event, the agreement provides for Mr. McGrath to
receive continued payment of his base salary (at its then
current rate) and annual bonus (in an amount equal to the
average percentage of target bonus paid to him for the three
years preceding termination times the target bonus amount in
effect on the date of termination) for the remainder of the
term, but not less than one years compensation. Such
amounts are to be paid in the same manner and at the same times
as the salary and bonus paid to him during his employment. He
will also be entitled to continued medical and dental coverage,
at the same costs applicable to active employees, through the
later of the term of the agreement or his attaining age 55
and full vesting in outstanding awards under the Companys
long-term incentive plan. Any such salary and bonus payments
made to Mr. McGrath will be reduced by the amount of any
cash compensation he receives for services rendered to any
entity other than Unisys. The employment agreement also includes
a confidentiality provision of unlimited duration and
non-compete, non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions
effective for a period equal to the greater of 12 months
from the date of termination of employment or the period during
which the Company is making the payments described above. In the
event of a breach of any of these provisions, the Company will
have the right to terminate any of such payments remaining due.
If Mr. McGraths employment had terminated on the last
business day of 2006 under circumstances entitling him to the
payments described above, he would have received the following:
salary $950,000, payable in monthly installments;
bonus $168,889, payable in a lump sum at the time
bonuses are payable to other executives; value of vested stock
awards $1,568,000; value of continued medical and
dental coverage $47,367. Mr. McGrath is also
party to a change in control agreement with the Company, as
described below. He is not entitled to receive duplicate
payments under the change in control agreement and his
employment agreement, and in the event of a conflict he will be
allowed the greater entitlement.
Change in Control Agreements
The Company has entered into change in control employment
agreements with its executive officers including the Named
Officers. The agreements are intended to retain the services of
these executives and provide for continuity of management in the
event of any actual or threatened change in control. A change in
control is generally defined as (1) the acquisition of 20%
or more of Unisys common stock, (2) a change in the
majority of the Board of Directors unless approved by the
incumbent directors (other than as a result of a contested
election) and (3) certain reorganizations, mergers,
consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions. Each agreement has
a term ending on the third anniversary of the date of the change
in control. These agreements, which are the same in substance
for each executive, provide that in the event of a change in
control each executive will have specific rights and receive
certain benefits. Those benefits include the right to continue
in the Companys employ during the term, performing
comparable duties to those being performed immediately prior to
the change in control and at compensation and benefit levels
that are at least equal to the compensation and benefit levels
in effect immediately prior to the change in control. For
purposes of determining compensation levels, base salary must be
at least equal to the highest salary paid to the
42
executive during the 12 months preceding the change in
control, and bonus must be at least equal to the highest bonus
paid to the executive for the three fiscal years preceding the
change in control. If, following a change in control, the
Company terminates the executive without cause or the executive
terminates employment for good reason (generally defined as a
reduction in the executives compensation or
responsibilities or a change in the executives job
location), or if the executive voluntarily terminates employment
for any reason during the
30-day period following
the first anniversary of the date of the change in control, the
terminated executive will be entitled to receive special
termination benefits as follows: a lump sum payment equal to
three years base salary and bonus (based on the highest salary
and bonus paid during the term of the agreement), a lump sum
payment equal to the excess of the actuarial value of the
pension benefit the executive would have accrued if the
executives employment had continued for three years after
the termination date over the actuarial value of the actual
pension benefit payable as of the termination date, outplacement
services and, for three years following the termination of
employment, continued benefits under the Companys welfare
benefit plans and programs. If any payment or distribution by
the Company to the executive is determined to be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue
Code, the executive is entitled to receive a payment on an
after-tax basis equal to the excise tax imposed. The executive
is under no obligation to mitigate amounts payable under these
agreements, and to the extent the executive has a separate
employment agreement with the Company with conflicting rights,
the executive is allowed the greater entitlement. If the Named
Officers had become entitled to the special termination benefits
on the last business day of 2006, they would have received the

As set forth above, the Companys defined benefit plans
were frozen as of December 31, 2006. Therefore, the amounts
shown represent the Company match equivalent to 6% of eligible
pay under the Unisys Savings Plan discussed above. If the
defined benefit plans had not been frozen, the actuarial value
of the three-year pension accrual (calculated using the same
assumptions as in the Pension Benefits Table on page 37)
would have been as follows: Mr. McGrath
$1,477,632; Ms. Haugen $237,874;
Mr. Blackmore $1,180,312;
Mr. Baroni $701,615;
Mr. Hendricks $514,898, and the amount of
excise tax gross-up
shown in the table would have increased to reflect this. |
|
(2) |
The agreements provide that the executive may select the
provider and the scope of outplacement services, and therefore
the costs actually incurred will vary by individual. The Company
believes that the amounts shown in this column are a reasonable
estimate of the potential costs of outplacement services. |
|
(3) |
Represents the annual cost of welfare benefits, multiplied by
three. |
|
(4) |
Change in control payments are assumed to consist of the amounts
shown in the table, as well as the value of any accelerated
vesting of equity awards pursuant to the terms of the
Companys long-term incentive plan. The calculations use an
excise tax rate of 20%, a Federal income tax rate of 35%, a
Medicare tax rate of 1.45% and the current income tax rates for
the States of residence of the Named Officers. |
43
Benefit Plans
Under the Companys long-term incentive plan, if a change
in control occurs, all time-based awards will become fully
vested and a pro-rata portion (based on the completed portion of
the related performance cycle) of performance-based awards will
vest. If a change in control had occurred on the last business
day of 2006, the Named Officers would have become vested in the
following number of restricted stock units, having the following
values:

Based on the $7.84 closing price of Unisys common stock on
December 29, 2006. |
A discussion of amounts payable to the Named Officers under the
pension plans sponsored by the Company begins on page 37.
As set forth in Pension Benefits, benefits under the
Elected Officer Pension Plan become immediately vested upon a
change in control of the Company.
Compensation of Directors
In 2006, the Companys non-employee directors received an
annual retainer/attendance fee for regularly scheduled meetings
of $60,000 and a meeting fee of $1,500 per meeting for
attendance at certain additional Board and committee meetings.
Chairmen of committees other than the audit committee also
received an annual $5,000 retainer. The annual retainer for the
chair of the audit committee was $20,000. In February 2006, the
Board approved the payment of an additional $100,000 annual
retainer to the non-executive Chairman of the Board. Prior to
February 2006, the Chairman of the Board had been an employee of
the Company. In February 2006, the Board also approved an annual
grant to each non-employee director of restricted stock units
having a value of $100,000 (based on the fair market value of
Unisys common stock on the date of grant). Accordingly, on
February 9, 2006 each non-employee director received a
grant of 15,397 restricted stock units. The restricted stock
units vest in three annual installments beginning one year after
the date of grant and will be settled in shares of Unisys common
stock. The grant of restricted stock units was made in lieu of
stock option grants.
Prior to February 2006, the annual retainers described above
were paid in monthly installments, with 50% of each installment
paid in cash and 50% in the form of common stock equivalent
units. The value of each stock unit at any point in time is
equal to the value of one share of Unisys common stock. Stock
units are recorded in a memorandum account maintained for each
director. A directors stock unit account is payable in
Unisys common stock, either upon termination of service or on a
date specified by the director, at the directors option.
Directors do not have the right to vote with respect to any
stock units. In February 2006, the Board determined that these
fees would be payable 100% in cash. They continue to be paid in
monthly installments. Directors have the opportunity to receive
these fees in the form of stock units if they choose. They also
have the opportunity to defer until termination of service, or
until a specified date, all or a portion of their cash fees
under the Companys deferred compensation plan for
directors. Under this plan, any deferred cash amounts, and
earnings or losses thereon (calculated by reference to the
investment options available under the Unisys Savings Plan and
44
selected by the director), are recorded in a memorandum account
maintained for each director. The right to receive future
payments of deferred cash accounts is an unsecured claim against
the Companys general assets. Directors who are employees
of the Company do not receive any cash, stock units, stock
options or restricted stock units for their services as
directors. The table below provides a summary of Director
Compensation for 2006.

Companys common stock within five years. This goal must be
achieved by April 20, 2010 for directors in office in 2005
and within five years after election date for newly elected
directors. Stock units received in respect of directors
fees count toward fulfillment of the ownership guidelines; stock
options, including vested stock options, and restricted stock
units do not count. The number of shares owned by each director
is set forth in the stock ownership table on page 26.

GENERAL MATTERS
Policy on Confidential Voting
It is the Companys policy that all stockholder proxies,
ballots and voting materials that identify the vote of a
specific stockholder shall, if requested by that stockholder on
such proxy, ballot or materials, be kept permanently
confidential and shall not be disclosed to the Company, its
affiliates, directors, officers and employees or to any third
parties, except as may be required by law, to pursue or defend
legal proceedings or to carry out the purpose of, or as
permitted by, the policy. Under the policy, vote tabulators and
inspectors of election are to be independent parties who are
unaffiliated with and are not employees of the Company. The
policy provides that it may, under certain circumstances, be
suspended in the event of a proxy solicitation in opposition to
a solicitation of management. The Company may at any time be
informed whether or not a particular stockholder has voted.
Comments written on proxies or ballots, together with the name
and address of the commenting stockholder, will also be made
available to the Company.
Stockholder Proposals and Nominations
Stockholder proposals submitted to the Company for inclusion in
the proxy materials for the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders
must be received by the Company by November 16, 2007.
Any stockholder who intends to present a proposal at the 2008
annual meeting and has not sought to include the proposal in the
Companys proxy materials must deliver notice of the
proposal to the Company no later than January 27, 2008.
Any stockholder who intends to make a nomination for the Board
of Directors at the 2008 annual meeting must deliver a notice to
the Company no later than January 25, 2008 setting forth
(1) the name, age, business and residence addresses of each
nominee, (2) the principal occupation or employment of each
nominee, (3) the number of shares of Unisys capital stock
beneficially owned by each nominee, (4) a statement that
the nominee is willing to be nominated and (5) any other
information concerning each nominee that would be required by
the SEC in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election
of the nominee.
Electronic Access to Proxy Materials and Annual Report
This proxy statement and the 2006 annual report are available on
the Companys Internet site at www.unisys.com/go/proxy and
www.unisys.com/go/annual. Most stockholders can elect to view
future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet
instead of receiving paper copies in the mail and thus can save
the Company the cost of producing and mailing these documents.
If you vote your shares over the Internet this year, you will be
given the opportunity to choose electronic access at the time
you vote. Most stockholders who choose electronic access will
receive an e-mail next
year containing the Internet address to access the proxy
statement and annual report. Your choice will remain in effect
until you cancel it. You do not have to elect Internet access
each year.
Householding of Proxy Statement and Annual Report
This year, a number of brokers with accountholders who are
owners of Unisys common stock will be householding
our proxy materials. This means that only one copy of this proxy
statement and the 2006 annual report may have been sent to you
and the other Unisys
46
stockholders who share your address. Householding is designed to
reduce the volume of duplicate information that stockholders
receive and the Companys printing and mailing expenses.
If your household has received only one copy of our proxy
statement and annual report, and you would prefer to receive
separate copies of these documents, either now or in the future,
please call us at 215-986-5777, or write us at Investor
Relations, A2-17, Unisys Corporation, Unisys Way, Blue Bell, PA
19424-0001. We will deliver separate copies promptly. If you are
now receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials and would
like to have only one copy of these documents delivered to your
household in the future, please contact us in the same manner.
Other Matters
At the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors
knows of no matter that will be presented for consideration at
the annual meeting other than those described in this proxy
statement. If any other matter properly comes before the annual
meeting, the persons appointed as proxies will vote thereon in
their discretion.
The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. Such cost
will include charges by brokers and other custodians, nominees
and fiduciaries for forwarding proxies and proxy material to the
beneficial owners of Unisys common stock. Solicitation may also
be made personally or by telephone by the Companys
directors, officers and regular employees without additional
compensation. In addition, the Company has retained
Morrow & Co., Inc. to assist in the solicitation of
proxies for a fee of approximately $9,500, plus expenses.

any similar transaction in which the Participants employer
ceases to be the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall
determine whether a Termination of Employment is a result of
disability, and shall determine whether military or other
government or eleemosynary service constitutes a Termination of
Employment. To the extent necessary, Termination of
Employment will be limited to those circumstances that
constitute a separation from service within the

In addition, the terms Business Combination,
Change in Control, Change in Control
Price, Incumbent Board, Outstanding
Stock, Outstanding Voting Securities and

Section 11.
SECTION 2. Administration
The Plan will be administered by the Committee, which will have
the power to interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules and
guidelines for carrying out the Plan, as it may deem
appropriate. The Committee will have the authority to adopt such
modifications, procedures and subplans, consistent with the
objectives of the Plan, as may be necessary or desirable to
comply with the laws, regulations, practices and tax and
accounting principles of the countries in which the Company or a
Subsidiary or Affiliate may operate and/or to assure the
economic viability of Awards made to individuals employed in
such countries.
Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee will have the
authority to determine those individuals eligible to receive
Awards and the amount, type and terms of each Award and to
establish and administer any Performance Goals applicable to
such Awards, but, at the discretion of the Board, these
determinations may be made subject to ratification by the Board.
The Committee may delegate its authority and power under the
Plan in whole or in part to a subcommittee consisting of two or
more non-employee directors who are outside
directors within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Code. The Committee may similarly delegate its authority or
power under the Plan to one or more officers of the Company,
subject to guidelines prescribed by the Committee, with respect
to Participants who are not subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act and who are not covered employees
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.
Any determination made by the Committee or pursuant to delegated
authority in accordance with the provisions of the Plan with
respect to any Award will be made in the sole
A-3
discretion of the Committee or such delegate, and all decisions
made by the Committee or any appropriately designated officer
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan will be final and binding
on all persons, including the Company and Plan Participants, but
subject to ratification by the Board if the Board so provides.
SECTION 3. Eligible Participants
Participants in the Plan shall be such employees of the Company
and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including elected officers,
and non-employee directors of the Company, that are selected by
the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time to
receive an Award under the Plan. The Plan is discretionary in
nature, and the grant of Awards by the Committee is voluntary
and occasional. The Committees selection of an eligible
employee to receive an Award in any year or at any time shall
not require the Committee to select such employee to receive an
Award in any other year or at any other time. The selection of
an employee to receive one type of Award under the Plan does not
require the Committee to select such employee to receive any
other type of Award under the Plan. The Committee shall consider
such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and
in determining the type and amount of their respective Awards.
SECTION 4. Stock Subject to Plan
The number of shares of Stock authorized for issuance under the
Plan will be 24.0 million shares. Any or all of the
authorized shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of
Stock Options awarded under the Plan, and all such shares may be
issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options. If
any Award is cashed out or exercised or terminates or expires
without a payment being made to the Participant in the form of
Stock, the shares subject to such Award, if any, will again be
available for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (a) shares of Stock
tendered in payment of the exercise price of an Option,
(b) shares of Stock withheld by the Company to satisfy any
tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award, and
(c) shares of Stock that are repurchased by the Company on
the open market with the proceeds of the exercise of an Option,
may not again be available for issuance in connection with
Awards under the Plan. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Spread Value of a SAR is paid in shares of Stock, the shares
representing the excess, if any, of (a) the number of
shares of Stock subject to the SAR over (b) the number of
shares of Stock delivered in payment of the Spread Value may not
again be available for issuance in connection with Awards under
the Plan.
In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, share exchange, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, issuance of rights or
warrants or other change in corporate structure affecting the
Stock after adoption of the Plan by the Board, the aggregate
number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan,
the number, kind and price of shares subject to outstanding
Awards and the Award limits set forth in Sections 4 and 5
shall be proportionately substituted for or adjusted to reflect
such change in corporate structure, provided, however, that any
such substitutions or adjustments will be consistent with the
treatment of shares of Stock not subject to the Plan.
SECTION 5. Awards General Terms and
Limitations
|
|
|
|
(a) |
AWARDS GRANTED AT FAIR MARKET VALUE. The exercise price of a
Stock Option and the grant price of a SAR may not be less than
100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In addition,
to the extent that the value of an Other Stock-Based |
A-4
|
|
|
|
|
Award is based on Spread Value,
the grant price for the Other Stock-Based Award may not be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any
reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction in
which the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company
is a surviving corporation, the Committee may grant Stock
Options, SARs or Other Stock-Based Awards in substitution for
similar awards granted under a plan of another party to the
transaction, and in such a case the exercise price or grant
price of the substituted Stock Options, SARs or Other
Stock-Based Awards granted by the Company may equal or exceed
100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant reduced by
any unrealized gain existing as of the date of the transaction
in the option, stock appreciation right or other award being
replaced.
|
|
|
|
|
(b) |
ANNUAL AWARD LIMITATION. The total number of Restricted Shares
and other shares of Stock subject to or underlying Stock
Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards awarded to any
Participant during any year may not exceed (i) two million
shares, multiplied by (ii) the number of calendar years
during which the Participant was eligible to participate in the
Plan in accordance with Section 3 above, and reduced by
(iii) the number of shares with respect to which the
Participant has received Awards of Restricted Shares, Stock
Options, SARs and/or Other Stock-Based Awards under the Plan. An
Annual Incentive Award paid to a Participant with respect to any
Performance Cycle may not exceed $5,000,000. A Long-Term
Incentive Award paid to a Participant with respect to any
Performance Cycle may not exceed $3,000,000 times the number of
years in the Performance Cycle. |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. In the discretion of the Committee,
any Award granted pursuant to the Plan may be designated as a
performance-based award intended to qualify, through the
application of Performance Goals over a specified Performance
Cycle, as performance-based compensation within the
meaning of Code Section 162(m). |
|
|
|
|
(d) |
MINIMUM VESTING PERIODS. Except in the case of a new-hire Award
or under such other circumstances deemed appropriate by the
Committee, no Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted
Share or Other Stock-Based Award may be granted with a vesting
period of less than one year. |
SECTION 6. Stock Options
|
|
|
|
(a) |
STOCK OPTION AWARDS. A Stock Option represents the right to
purchase a share of Stock at a predetermined exercise price.
Stock Options granted under the Plan will be in the form of
Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options. The terms
and conditions of each Stock Option Award, including the Stock
Option term, exercise price, applicable vesting periods and any
other restrictions/conditions on exercise, will be determined in
the sole discretion of the Committee and will be set forth in an
Award agreement. |
A-5
|
|
|
|
(b) |
DURATION OF STOCK OPTIONS. Stock Options will terminate after
the first to occur of the following: |
|
|
|
|
(1) |
Expiration of the Stock Option as provided in the applicable
Award agreement; |
|
|
(2) |
Termination of the Stock Option Award, as provided in
Section 6(d), following the Participants Termination
of Employment; or |
|
|
(3) |
Ten years from the date of grant. |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
ACCELERATION/ EXTENSION OF EXERCISE TIME. The Committee, in its
sole discretion, shall have the right (but shall not in any case
be obligated) to permit purchase of shares under any Stock
Option prior to the time such Option would otherwise vest under
the terms of the applicable Award agreement. In addition, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right (but
shall not in any case be obligated) to permit any Stock Option
granted under the Plan to be exercised after its termination
date described in Section 6(d), but in no event later than
the last day of the term of the Stock Option as set forth in the
applicable Award agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee will not extend the exercise period of any Option to
the extent that the extension would cause the Option to be
considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to the
provisions of Section 409A of the Code. |
|
|
|
|
(d) |
EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Except
as otherwise provided in this Section 6(d) or in
Section 6(c), or as otherwise expressly provided in a
Participants Award agreement as authorized by the
Committee, the right of the Participant to exercise Stock
Options shall terminate upon the Participants Termination
of Employment, regardless of whether or not the Stock Options
were vested in whole or in part on the date of Termination of
Employment. |
|
|
|
|
(1) |
Disability or Normal Retirement. Upon a
Participants Termination of Employment by reason of
disability or retirement on a Normal Retirement Date, a
Participant may, within five years after the Termination of
Employment, exercise all or a part of his/her Stock Options that
were vested upon such Termination of Employment (or which became
vested at a later date pursuant to Section 6(d)(3) below).
In no event, however, may any Stock Option be exercised later
than the last day of the term of the Stock Option as set forth
in the applicable Award agreement. |
|
|
(2) |
Death. In the event of the death of a Participant
while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or
within the additional period of time from the date of
Termination of Employment and prior to the termination of the
Stock Option as permitted under Section 6(d)(1) or
Section 6(d)(3)(B), to the extent that the right to
exercise the Stock Option had vested as of the date of the
Participants death, the right of the Participants
Beneficiary to exercise the vested portion of the Stock Option
shall expire on the earliest of (A) five years from the
date of the Participants death, (B) five years from
the date of the Participants Termination of Employment,
(C) the last day of the term of the Stock Option as set
forth in the applicable Award agreement or (D) such other
date set forth in the Award agreement as authorized by the
Committee. |
|
|
(3) |
Termination of Employment at Age 55 with Five Years
of Service. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 6 to the contrary, unless otherwise |
A-6
|
|
|
|
|
provided in the applicable Award
agreement, if Termination of Employment occurs after the
Participant has attained age 55 and completed five years of
service with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates,
(A) the Participant shall continue to vest in each of
his/her Stock Options in accordance with the vesting schedules
set forth in the applicable Award agreements, and (B) the
Participant may exercise his/her Stock Options, to the extent
that the Stock Options have vested as of the Termination of
Employment or thereafter in accordance with
Section 6(d)(3)(A), for a period of five years from the
date of the Participants Termination of Employment. In no
event, however, may any Stock Option be exercised later than the
last day of the term of the Stock Option as set forth in the
applicable Award agreement.
|
|
|
|
|
(e) |
EXERCISE PROCEDURES. Subject to the applicable Award agreement,
Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving
written notice of exercise to the Company or its designee
specifying the number of shares to be purchased. This notice
must be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price by
certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company
or its designee may accept. If authorized by the Committee,
payment in full or in part may also be made (1) in the form
of Stock already owned by the Participant valued at the Fair
Market Value on the date the Stock Option is exercised, or
(2) through a cashless exercise program authorized by the
Company. |
|
|
(f) |
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in the Plan, the Committee may designate, at the time of grant,
that the Stock Option is an Incentive Stock Option under
Section 422 of the Code. Whenever possible, each provision
of the Plan and applicable Award agreement shall be interpreted
in such a manner as to entitle the Stock Option to the tax
treatment afforded by Section 422 of the Code. If any
provision of the Plan or any Option designated by the Committee
as an Incentive Stock Option shall be held not to comply with
requirements necessary to entitle such Option to such tax
treatment, then (1) such provision shall be deemed to have
contained from the outset such language as shall be necessary to
entitle the Option to the tax treatment afforded under
Section 422 of the Code, and (2) all other provisions
of the Plan and the Award agreement shall remain in full force
and effect. If any agreement covering a Stock Option designated
by the Committee to be an Incentive Stock Option under this Plan
shall not explicitly include any terms required to entitle such
Incentive Stock Option to the tax treatment afforded by
Section 422 of the Code, all such terms shall be deemed
implicit in the designation of such Option and the Option shall
be deemed to have been granted subject to all such terms. In no
event will an Option that is not specifically designated as an
Incentive Stock Option be treated as an Incentive Stock Option. |
SECTION 7. Stock Appreciation Rights
|
|
|
|
(a) |
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS AWARDS. A SAR represents the right to
receive a payment, in cash, shares of Stock or both (as
determined by the Committee), equal to the Spread Value on the
date the SAR is exercised. The grant price of a SAR and all
other applicable terms and conditions will be established by the
Committee in its sole discretion and will be set forth in the
applicable Award agreement. Subject to the terms of the
applicable Award agreement, a SAR will be exercisable, in whole
or in |
A-7
|
|
|
|
|
part, by giving written notice
of exercise to the Company, but in no event will a SAR be
exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of the date on
which it was granted.
|
SECTION 8. Restricted Shares
|
|
|
|
(a) |
RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS. The Committee may grant to any
Participant an Award of shares of Common Stock in such quantity,
and on such terms, conditions and restrictions (whether based on
Performance Goals, periods of service or otherwise) as the
Committee shall establish in its sole discretion. The terms of
any Restricted Share Award granted under this Plan shall be set
forth in an Award agreement. |
|
|
|
|
(1) |
Issuance of Restricted Shares. As soon as
practicable after the date of grant of a Restricted Share Award
by the Committee, the Company shall register in the books of the
Company, shares of Common Stock, evidencing the Restricted
Shares covered by the Award, but subject to forfeiture to the
Company as of the date of grant if an Award agreement with
respect to the Restricted Shares covered by the Award is not
duly executed by the Participant and timely returned to the
Company. At the discretion of the Company, the shares will be
registered on behalf of the Participant in book entry form or
will be registered in the name of the Participant with a stock
certificate, appropriately legended to reference the applicable
restrictions, duly issued. All shares of Common Stock covered by
Awards under this Section 8 shall be subject to the
restrictions, terms and conditions contained in the Award
agreement. |
|
|
(2) |
Stockholder Rights. Beginning on the date of grant
of the Restricted Share Award and subject to execution of the
Award Agreement provided for in Section 8(a)(1), the
Participant will become a stockholder of the Company with
respect to all shares represented under the Award agreement and
shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including, but
not limited to, the right to vote such shares and the right to
receive any dividends (or dividend equivalents) paid on such
shares; provided, however, that any shares of Common Stock
distributed as a dividend or otherwise with respect to any
Restricted Shares as to which the restrictions have not yet
lapsed shall be subject to the same restrictions as such
Restricted Shares and shall be represented by book entry and
held as prescribed in Section 8. |
|
|
(3) |
Restriction on Transferability. None of the
Restricted Shares may be assigned or transferred (other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, or to an inter
vivos trust with respect to which the Participant is treated as
the owner under Sections 671 through 677 of the Code),
pledged or sold prior to the lapse of the restrictions
applicable to the shares. |
|
|
(4) |
Delivery of Shares Upon Vesting. Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the forfeiture period
without forfeiture and the satisfaction of or release from any
other conditions prescribed by the Committee, or at such earlier
time as provided under the provisions of Section 8(b)(2),
the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares shall
lapse. As promptly as administratively feasible thereafter, the
Company shall deliver to the Participant or, in case of the
Participants death, to the Participants Beneficiary,
a stock certificate for the appropriate number of shares of
Common Stock, free of all such restrictions, except for any
restrictions |
A-8
|
|
|
|
|
that may be imposed by law,
unless the Company has made arrangements to have shares of
Common Stock held at a bank or other appropriate institution in
non-certified form. The appropriate number of shares shall equal
the number of Restricted Shares with respect to which the
restrictions have lapsed, less the number of shares of Common
Stock whose Fair Market Value as of the date on which the
restrictions lapse is equal to such amount as is determined by
the Company to be sufficient to satisfy applicable federal,
state and local withholding tax requirements. The Company shall
remit in a timely manner to the appropriate taxing authorities
the amount so withheld. Although the Stock certificate delivered
to the Participant or the Participants Beneficiary will be
for a net number of shares, the Participant or the
Participants Beneficiary shall be considered, for tax
purposes, to have received a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the full number of Restricted Shares with respect to
which the restrictions have lapsed.
|
(b) TERMS OF RESTRICTED SHARES.
|
|
|
|
(1) |
Forfeiture of Restricted Shares. Subject to
Section 8(b)(2) and Section 11, all of the Restricted
Shares with respect to a Restricted Share Award shall be
forfeited and returned to the Company and all rights of the
Participant with respect to such Restricted Shares shall
terminate unless the Participant continues in the service of the
Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate as an employee or a
non-employee director until the expiration of the forfeiture
period and satisfies any other conditions set forth in the Award
agreement. |
|
|
(2) |
Waiver of Forfeiture Period. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 8 to the contrary, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture
period and any other conditions set forth in any Award agreement
under certain circumstances (including the death, disability or
retirement of the Participant or a material change in
circumstances arising after the date of an Award) and subject to
such terms and conditions (including forfeiture of a
proportionate number of the Restricted Shares) as the Committee
shall deem appropriate. |
SECTION 9. Other Stock-Based Awards
|
|
|
|
(a) |
OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS. The Committee may grant Awards, other
than Stock Options, SARs or Restricted Shares, that are
denominated in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or
otherwise based on or related to, Stock. The purchase, exercise,
exchange or conversion of Other Stock-Based Awards granted under
this Section 9 and all other terms and conditions
applicable to the Awards will be determined by the Committee in
its sole discretion and will be set forth in an applicable Award
agreement. |
SECTION 10. Incentive Awards
|
|
|
|
(a) |
INCENTIVE AWARDS. Incentive Awards are performance-based Awards
that are expressed in U.S. currency, but that may be
payable in the form of cash, Stock or a combination of both.
Incentive Awards may be either Annual Incentive Awards or
Long-Term Incentive Awards. The target amount of the Award, the
Performance Goals and applicable Performance Cycle, the form of
payment and other terms and |
A-9
|
|
|
|
|
conditions applicable to an
Incentive Award will be determined in the sole discretion of the
Committee and will be set forth in an Award agreement. Except as
otherwise specifically provided in an Award agreement, payment
with respect to an Incentive Award will be made during the
calendar year following the year in which the performance period
to which the Incentive Award relates ends.
|
SECTION 11. Change in Control Provisions
|
|
|
|
(a) |
IMPACT OF EVENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan
to the contrary, and except to the extent expressly provided
otherwise in an Award agreement, in the event of a Change in
Control: |
|
|
|
|
(1) |
Stock Options. All Stock Options outstanding as of
the date the Change in Control occurs will become fully vested
and will be exercisable in accordance with procedures
established by the Committee. In addition, a Participant who is
an elected officer of the Company and whose employment is
involuntarily terminated by the Company within 60 days
after a Change in Control will be permitted to surrender for
cancellation within 60 days after the Change in Control any
Stock Option or portion of a Stock Option to the extent not
exercised and to receive a payment of shares of Stock having an
aggregate Fair Market Value on the date the Participant
surrenders the Stock Option equal to the excess, if any, of
(A) the Change in Control Price, over (B) the exercise
price of the Stock Option. The provisions of this
Section 11(a)(1) will not be applicable to any Stock
Options granted to a Participant if the Change in Control
results from the Participants beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d(3) under the Exchange Act) of Stock
or Voting Securities. |
|
|
(2) |
Stock Appreciation Rights. All SARs outstanding as
of the date the Change in Control occurs will become fully
vested and will be exercisable in accordance with procedures
established by the Committee. The provisions of this
Section 11(a)(2) will not be applicable to any SARs granted
to a Participant if the Change in Control results from the
Participants beneficial ownership (within the meaning of
Rule 13d(3) under the Exchange Act) of Stock or Voting
Securities. |
|
|
(3) |
Restricted Shares. The restrictions and other
conditions applicable to any Restricted Shares held by the
Participant will lapse and Restricted Shares will become fully
vested as of the date of the Change in Control. |
|
|
(4) |
Incentive Awards. Any Incentive Awards relating to
Performance Cycles before the Performance Cycle in which the
Change in Control occurs that have been earned but not paid will
become immediately payable in cash. In addition, any Incentive
Award awarded to a Participant for a Performance Cycle that has
not been completed at the time of the Change in Control will be
deemed to be satisfied at the target level for the Performance
Cycle, and payment with respect to the Incentive Award will be
made in cash upon the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Committee in its sole discretion determines
that any Incentive Award would be considered nonqualified
deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of
the Code, and if the Change in Control would not be considered a
change in control for purposes of Section 409A
of the Code, then a Participants entitlement to payment
with |
A-10
|
|
|
|
|
respect to the Incentive Award
will be determined as described above in this
Section 11(a)(4), but payment with respect to such
Incentive Award will be made on the date originally scheduled
for payment or, if earlier, upon the Participants
Termination of Employment.
|
|
|
(5) |
Other Stock-Based
Awards. Other
Stock-Based Awards that vest solely on the basis of the passage
of time will be treated in connection with a Change in Control
in the same manner as are Awards of Restricted Shares, as
described in Section 11(a)(3) above. Other Stock-Based
Awards that vest on the basis of the satisfaction of performance
criteria will be treated in connection with a Change in Control
in the same manner as are Incentive Awards, as described in
Section 11(a)(4) above, except that payment will be made
only in shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Committee in its sole discretion determines that any Other
Stock-Based Award would be considered nonqualified deferred
compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code, and if the Change in Control would not be considered a
change in control for purposes of Section 409A
of the Code, then a Participants entitlement to payment
with respect to the Other Stock-Based Award will be determined
as described above in this Section 11(a)(5), but payment
with respect to such Other Stock-Based Award will be made on the
date originally scheduled for payment or, if earlier, upon the
Participants Termination of Employment.
|
|
|
|
|
(b) |
DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. A Change in Control
means any of the following events: |
|
|
|
|
(1) |
The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act
(a Person)) of beneficial ownership (within the
meaning of
Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either
(A) the then outstanding shares of Stock (the
Outstanding Stock) or (B) the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
Outstanding Voting Securities), provided, however,
that the following acquisitions will not constitute a Change in
Control: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company,
(2) any acquisition by the Company, (3) any
acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation
controlled by the Company or (4) any acquisition by any
corporation pursuant to a transaction described in
clauses (A), (B) and (C) of
paragraph (3) of this Section 11(b); or |
|
|
(2) |
Individuals who, as of the effective date of the Plan,
constitute the Board (the Incumbent Board) cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board,
provided, however, that any individuals becoming a
director after the effective date of the Plan whose election, or
nomination for election by the stockholders of the Company, was
approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then
comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered as though the
individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding,
for this purpose, any individual whose initial assumption of
office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election
contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or
other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or |
A-11
|
|
|
|
(3) |
Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or
sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company (a Business Combination), unless, in
each case following such Business Combination, (A) all or
substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Stock and
Outstanding Voting Securities immediately before the Business
Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than
50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common
stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of

such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a
corporation that as a result of the transaction owns the Company
or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company either
directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries) in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership,
immediately prior to such Business Combination of the
Outstanding Stock and Outstanding Voting Securities, as the case
may be, (B) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan
(or related trust) of the Company or the corporation resulting
from the Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or
indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding
shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from the
Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of the corporation except to the
extent that the Person owned 20% or more of the Outstanding
Stock or Outstanding Voting Securities before the Business
Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of
the board of directors of the corporation resulting from the
Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the
time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action
of the Board, providing for the Business Combination; or |
|
|
(4) |
Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company. |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL PRICE. Change in Control
Price means the greater of (A) the highest Fair
Market Value of a share of Stock during the
60-day period ending on
the date of the Change in Control, and (B) the highest
price per share of Stock paid to holders of Stock in any
transaction (or series of transactions) constituting or
resulting from the Change in Control, provided, however, that,
in the case of Incentive Stock Options, unless the Committee
otherwise provides, such price will be based only on
transactions occurring on the date on which the Incentive Stock
Options are cashed out. |
SECTION 12. Plan Amendment and Termination
The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time,
provided that no such amendment will be made without stockholder
approval if such approval is required under applicable law, or
if such amendment would increase the total number of shares of
Stock that may be distributed under the Plan. Except as
otherwise provided under Section 4, Stock Options and SARs
may not be repriced (whether through modification of the
exercise price of the Stock Option or the grant price of a SAR
after the date of grant or through an option or SAR exchange
program) without the approval of the Companys
stockholders. Except as set forth in
A-12
any Award agreement, no amendment or termination of the Plan may
materially and adversely affect any outstanding Award under the
Plan without the Award recipients consent.
SECTION 13. Payments and Payment Deferrals
Payment of Awards may be in the form of cash, Stock, other
Awards or combinations thereof as the Committee may determine,
and with such restrictions as it may impose. The Committee,
either at the time of grant or by subsequent amendment, may
require or permit deferral of the payment of Awards under such
rules and procedures as it may establish. It also may provide
that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of
interest or other earnings on the deferred amounts, or the
payment or crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferred
amounts are denominated in Stock equivalents. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no action will be taken or authorized pursuant to
this Section 13 to the extent that it would violate the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code or cause any Stock
Option or SAR to be considered to provide for the deferral of
compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
SECTION 14. Dividends and Dividend Equivalents
The Committee may provide that any Awards under the Plan earn
dividends or dividend equivalents. Such dividends or dividend
equivalents may be paid currently or may be credited to a
Participants Plan account. Any crediting of dividends or
dividend equivalents may be subject to such restrictions and
conditions as the Committee may establish, including
reinvestment in additional shares of Stock or Stock equivalents
to the extent permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 15. Transferability
Except to the extent permitted by the Award agreement, either
initially or by subsequent amendment, Awards will not be
transferable or assignable other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and will be exercisable during the
lifetime of the recipient only by the recipient.
SECTION 16. Award Agreements
Each Award under the Plan will be evidenced by a written
agreement (which need not be signed by the recipient unless
otherwise specified by the Committee or otherwise provided under
the Plan) that sets forth the terms, conditions and limitations
for each Award. Such terms may include, but are not limited to,
the term of the Award, vesting and forfeiture provisions, and
the provisions applicable in the event of the recipients
Termination of Employment. The Committee may amend an Award
agreement, provided that no such amendment may materially and
adversely affect an outstanding Award without the Award
recipients consent.
SECTION 17. Unfunded Status of Plan
It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an
unfunded plan for incentive and deferred
compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts
or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the
Plan to deliver Stock or make payments; however, unless the
Committee otherwise determines, the structure of such trusts or
other arrangements must be consistent with the
unfunded status of the Plan.
A-13
SECTION 18. General Provisions
|
|
|
|
(a) |
The Committee may require each person acquiring shares of Stock
pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company
in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a
view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for such
shares may include any legend that the Committee deems
appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. |
|
|
|
All certificates for shares of Common Stock or other securities
delivered under the Plan will be subject to such stock transfer
orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem
advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of
the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then
listed and any applicable federal, state or foreign securities
law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put
on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions. |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
Nothing contained in this Plan will prevent the Company or a
Subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional
benefit arrangements for its employees or directors. |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
The adoption of the Plan will not confer upon any employee any
right to continued employment nor will it interfere in any way
with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate to
terminate the employment of any employee at any time. To the
extent that an employee of a Subsidiary or Affiliate receives an
Award under the Plan, that Award can in no event be understood
or interpreted to mean that the Company is the employees
employer or that the employee has an employment relationship
with the Company. |
|
|
|
|
(d) |
Except as otherwise provided under Section 8(a)(4), no
later than the date as of which an amount first becomes
includible in the gross income of the Participant for federal,
state, local, or foreign income or social security tax purposes
with respect to any Award under the Plan, the Participant will
pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or
foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, withholding obligations arising from an Award may be
settled with Stock, including Stock that is part of, or is
received upon exercise or conversion of, the Award that gives
rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the
Company under the Plan will be conditional on such payment or
arrangements, and the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates
will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct
any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the
Participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it
deems appropriate, including the making of irrevocable
elections, for the settling of withholding obligations with
Stock. |
|
|
(e) |
On receipt of written notice of exercise, the Committee may
elect to cash out all or a portion of the shares of Stock for
which a Stock Option is being exercised by paying the
Participant an amount, in cash or Stock, equal to the Spread
Value of such shares on the date such notice of exercise is
received. |
A-14
|
|
|
|
(f) |
The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder will
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to
Pennsylvanias conflict of laws rules. |
|
|
(g) |
If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or unenforceable,
the invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the remaining
parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be enforced and construed
as if such provision had not been included. |
|
|
(h) |
Any reference in the Plan to a provision of the Code, the
Exchange Act or other law may be interpreted by the Committee,
in its discretion, to encompass any successor provision of the
law. |
|
|
(i) |
If approved by stockholders of the Company, the Plan will be
effective as of April 26, 2007. |
|
|
(j) |
No Award may be granted under the Plan after April 25, 2017. |
