NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)


1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments except those otherwise described herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, unless otherwise disclosed. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.

The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at March 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2019 on Form 10-K (SEC File No. 001-32253), which was filed on May 29, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”).

EnerSys (the “Company,”) reports interim financial information for 13-week periods, except for the first quarter, which always begins on April 1, and the fourth quarter, which always ends on March 31. The four quarters in fiscal 2020 end on June 30, 2019, September 29, 2019, December 29, 2019, and March 31, 2020, respectively. The four quarters in fiscal 2019 ended on July 1, 2018, September 30, 2018, December 30, 2018, and March 31, 2019, respectively.

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and any partially owned subsidiaries that the Company has the ability to control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). This update requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in no adjustment to the April 1, 2019 beginning Retained Earnings. There are optional practical expedients and policy elections made available to simplify the transition to the new standard. The Company has elected the following:

to adopt the optional transition method defined within ASU 2018-11 and not restate comparative prior periods but instead recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption;
the package of three practical expedients addressing whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs;
to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component for all asset classes;
to use a portfolio approach to determine the incremental borrowing rate; and
to apply the short-term lease exception to leases that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.
 
Upon adoption, the Company recorded Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities of approximately $84,878 and $87,248, respectively. In addition, capital lease assets and liabilities are now classified as finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities. The difference between the operating lease assets and lease liabilities primarily relates to unamortized lease incentives and deferred rent recorded in accordance with the previous lease guidance.

Apart from the aforementioned changes, the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's operating results, financial position or cash flows. The discount rates used to calculate the ROU assets and lease liabilities as of the effective date were based on the remaining lease terms as of the effective date. See Note 3, Leases for additional information.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2019 and the adoption did not have any impact on the Company's operating results, financial position or cash flows.

Table of Contents


In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)". The new standard will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”). The amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statements users. However, because the amendment only relates to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2019 with the election not to reclassify $478 of stranded tax effects, primarily related to the Company's pension plans, from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings, as the amount was not material.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Adopted as of June 30, 2019

In June 2016, the FASB, issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)”: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the recognition model for the impairment of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, among others. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In contrast to current guidance, which considers current information and events and utilizes a probable threshold, (an “incurred loss” model), ASU 2016–13 mandates an “expected loss” model. The expected loss model: (i) estimates the risk of loss even when risk is remote, (ii) estimates losses over the contractual life, (iii) considers past events, current conditions and reasonable supported forecasts and (iv) has no recognition threshold. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” on April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. There was no cumulative effect of adopting the standard at the date of initial application in retained earnings.

The Company's revenues by reportable segments are presented in Note 17.

Service revenues related to the work performed for the Company’s customers by its maintenance technicians generally represent a separate and distinct performance obligation. Control for these services passes to the customer as the services are performed. Service revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 amounted to $60,718 and $35,482, respectively.

A small portion of the Company's customer arrangements oblige the Company to create customized products for its customers that require the bundling of both products and services into a single performance obligation because the individual products and services that are required to fulfill the customer requirements do not meet the definition for a distinct performance obligation. These customized products generally have no alternative use to the Company and the terms and conditions of these arrangements give the Company the enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, including a reasonable profit margin. For these arrangements, control transfers over time and the Company measures progress towards completion by selecting the input or output method that best depicts the transfer of control of the underlying goods and services to the customer for each respective arrangement. Methods used by the Company to measure progress toward completion include labor hours, costs incurred and units of production. Revenues recognized over time for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 amounted to $41,495 and $18,404, respectively.

On June 30, 2019, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $64,647, of which, the Company estimates that approximately $50,030 will be recognized as revenue in fiscal 2020, $14,033 in fiscal 2021, $390 in fiscal 2022, $16 in fiscal 2023 and $178 in fiscal 2024.

Any payments that are received from a customer in advance, prior to the satisfaction of a related performance obligation and billings in excess of revenue recognized, are deferred and treated as a contract liability. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when recognition of revenue is expected. As of June 30, 2019, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $14,289 and $6,821, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $15,162 and $6,360, respectively. Revenues recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the quarter, amounted to $4,467 and $1,936, respectively.

Amounts representing work completed and not billed to customers represent contract assets and were $42,520 and $38,778 as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company uses historic customer product return data as a basis of estimation for customer returns and records the reduction of sales at the time revenue is recognized. At June 30, 2019, the right of return asset related to the value of inventory anticipated to be returned from customers was $2,667 and refund liability representing amounts estimated to be refunded to customers was $5,183.

3. Leases

The Company leases manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, office space, vehicles and other equipment under non-cancellable leases with initial terms typically ranging from 1 to 17 years. At contract inception, the Company reviews the terms of the arrangement to determine if the contract is or contains a lease. Guidance in Topic 842 is used to evaluate whether the contract has an identified asset; if the Company has the right to obtain substantially all economic benefits from the asset; and if it has the right to direct the use of the underlying asset. When determining if a contract has an identified asset, the Company considers both explicit and implicit assets, and whether the supplier has the right to substitute the asset. When determining if the Company has the right to obtain substantially all economic benefits from the asset, the Company considers the primary outputs of the identified asset throughout the period of use and determines if it receives greater than 90% of those benefits. When determining if it has the right to direct the use of an underlying asset, the Company considers if it has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use and if it controls the decision-making rights over the asset.

Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company exercises its judgment to determine the term of those leases when extension or termination options are present and include such options in the calculation of the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options.

The Company has elected to include both lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease payments for all asset classes. Payments made to a lessor for items such as taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, or other costs commonly referred to as executory costs, are also included in lease payments if they are fixed. The fixed portion of these payments are included in the calculation of the lease liability, while any variable portion would be recognized as variable lease expenses, when incurred. Variable payments made to third parties for these, or similar costs, such as utilities, are not included in the calculation of lease payments.

Both finance and operating leases are reflected as liabilities on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company has exercised judgment in electing the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available when the lease commences to determine the present value of future payments. Right-of-use assets are valued at the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs or rent prepayments and reduced by any lease incentives and any deferred lease payments.

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease expense includes depreciation, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the leased asset, and interest expense, which is recognized following an effective interest rate method.

Short term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not presented on the balance sheet and expense is recognized as incurred.

4. Acquisition

On December 7, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. (“ATS”) and Alpha Technologies Ltd. (“ATL”), resulting in ATS and ATL becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “share purchase”). Additionally, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Alpha Technologies Inc. and certain assets of Altair Advanced Industries, Inc. and other affiliates of ATS and ATL (all such sellers, together with ATS and ATL, “Alpha”), in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of certain restructuring agreements (collectively, the “asset acquisition” and together with the share purchase, the “acquisition”). Based in Bellingham, Washington, Alpha is a global industry leader in comprehensive commercial-grade energy solutions for broadband, telecom, renewable, industrial and traffic customers around the world. The initial purchase consideration for the acquisition was $750,000, of which $650,000 was paid in cash and the balance was settled by issuing 1,177,630 shares of EnerSys common stock. These shares were issued out of the Company's treasury stock and were valued at $84.92 per share, which was based on the thirty-day volume weighted average stock price of the Company’s common stock at closing, in accordance with the purchase agreement. The 1,177,630 shares had a closing date fair value of $93,268, based upon the December 7, 2018, closing date spot rate of $79.20. The total purchase consideration, consisting of cash paid of $650,000, shares valued at $93,268 and an adjustment for working capital (due from seller of $766) was $742,502. The Company funded the cash portion of the acquisition with borrowings from the Amended Credit Facility as defined in Note 12. See Note 12 for additional information.

The acquisition expands the Company's footprint in broadband and telecom markets. The goodwill recognized in connection with this transaction reflects the benefits the Company expects to realize from being able to provide a one-stop, fully integrated power solutions offering to its customers, as well as the benefit of cost synergies from alignment of the Alpha group within its own organizational structure.

The results of operations of Alpha have been included in the Company’s Americas segment.

The following table represents the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year from the acquisition date (“the measurement period”).

The Company recorded the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting and recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets is recorded to goodwill. Estimated goodwill deductible for tax purposes is $42,262. The measurement of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is substantially complete. The Company continues to gather necessary information to finalize the accounting for income taxes associated with the acquisition, and as such the Company could record additional adjustments to the provisional amount recognized as this additional information is obtained.

The following unaudited summary information is presented on a consolidated pro forma basis as if the acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2017:

The pro forma amounts include additional interest expense on the debt issued to finance the purchases, amortization and depreciation expense based on the estimated fair value and useful lives of intangible assets and plant assets, and related tax effects. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the combined results had the Alpha acquisition been completed on April 1, 2017, nor are they indicative of future combined results. The remeasurement of Alpha's deferred taxes due to the Tax Act are being excluded in arriving at these pro forma results.

The fair values of lead forward contracts are calculated using observable prices for lead as quoted on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) and, therefore, were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its 2019 Annual Report.

The fair values for foreign currency forward contracts are based upon current quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2 based on the nature of the underlying market in which these derivatives are traded.

Financial Instruments

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.

The fair value of the Company’s short-term debt and borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility (as defined in Note 12), approximate their respective carrying value, as they are variable rate debt and the terms are comparable to market terms as of the balance sheet dates and are classified as Level 2.

The Company's 5.00% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”), with an original face value of $300,000, were issued in April 2015. The fair value of the Notes represent the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The Notes were trading at approximately 102% and 99% of face value on June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates under established procedures and controls. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions and the Company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected.

Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships

Lead Forward Contracts

The Company enters into lead forward contracts to fix the price for a portion of its lead purchases. Management considers the lead forward contracts to be effective against changes in the cash flows of the underlying lead purchases. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. At June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company has hedged the price to purchase approximately 38.0 million pounds and 42.0 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $33,012 and $39,218, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge a portion of the Company’s foreign currency exposures for lead, as well as other foreign currency exposures so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the underlying foreign currency denominated exposures. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company had entered into a total of $29,891 and $42,318, respectively, of such contracts.

In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $3,097 of pretax loss relating to lead and foreign currency forward contracts will be reclassified from AOCI as part of cost of goods sold. This amount represents the current net unrealized impact of hedging lead and foreign exchange rates, which will change as market rates change in the future, and will ultimately be realized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income as an offset to the corresponding actual changes in lead costs to be realized in connection with the variable lead cost and foreign exchange rates being hedged.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge foreign currency fluctuations on intercompany loans and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. These are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded directly in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the notional amount of these contracts was $21,339 and $22,201, respectively.

8. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. The Company’s effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, change in tax laws and the amount of the Company's consolidated income before taxes.

On December 22, 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. In fiscal 2019, the Company completed its accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Act and recognized a one-time transition tax of $84,017, inclusive of uncertain tax positions.
On June 14, 2019 final regulations were issued for items relating to the Tax Act. As a result, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recognized the uncertain tax position related to the one-time transition tax liability of $11,462. This did not result in a change to the transition tax liability of $84,017, previously recorded in fiscal 2019.

The consolidated effective income tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019 were 17.0% and 19.7%, respectively. The rate decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.

Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be 64% for fiscal 2020 compared to 66% for fiscal 2019. The foreign effective income tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019 were 11.5% and 11.8%, respectively. The rate decrease compared to the prior year period is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of the Company's overall foreign mix of income and was taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 6% in both the current and prior year quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019.

9. Warranty

The Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when the related products are sold, with related liabilities included within accrued expenses and other liabilities. As warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, primarily historical claims experience, claims costs may ultimately differ from amounts provided. An analysis of changes in the liability for product warranties is as follows:

10. Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of environmental, anticompetition, employment, contract and other laws. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with formal and informal inquiries by federal, state, local and foreign agencies, the Company and its subsidiaries receive numerous requests, subpoenas and orders for documents, testimony and information in connection with various aspects of their activities.

European Competition Investigations

Certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries had received subpoenas and requests for documents and, in some cases, interviews from, and have had on-site inspections conducted by, the competition authorities of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands relating to conduct and anticompetitive practices of certain industrial battery participants.

The Company settled the Belgian regulatory proceeding in February 2016 by acknowledging certain anticompetitive practices and conduct and agreeing to pay a fine of $1,962, which was paid in March 2016. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company paid $1,272 towards certain aspects of this matter, which are under appeal. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company did not have a reserve balance.

In June 2017, the Company settled a portion of its previously disclosed proceeding involving the German competition authority relating to conduct involving the Company's motive power battery business and agreed to pay a fine of $14,811, which was paid in July 2017. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company did not have a reserve balance relating to this matter. Also, in June 2017, the German competition authority issued a fining decision related to the Company's reserve power battery business, which constituted the remaining portion of the previously disclosed German proceeding. The Company appealed this decision. In March 2019, the Company settled this matter by agreeing to pay $7,258, which was paid in April 2019. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company had a reserve balance of $0 and $7,258, respectively.

The foregoing estimate of losses is based upon currently available information for these proceedings. However, the precise scope, timing and time period at issue, as well as the final outcome of the investigations or customer claims, remain uncertain. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate may change from time to time, and actual losses could vary.

Environmental Issues

As a result of its operations, the Company is subject to various federal, state, and local, as well as international environmental laws and regulations and is exposed to the costs and risks of registering, handling, processing, storing, transporting, and disposing of hazardous substances, especially lead and acid. The Company’s operations are also subject to federal, state, local and international occupational safety and health regulations, including laws and regulations relating to exposure to lead in the workplace.

The Company is responsible for certain cleanup obligations at the former Yuasa battery facility in Sumter, South Carolina, that predates its ownership of this facility. This manufacturing facility was closed in 2001 and the Company established a reserve for this facility, which was $1,060 and $1,081 as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Based on current information, the Company’s management believes this reserve is adequate to satisfy the Company’s environmental liabilities at this facility. This facility is separate from the Company’s current metal fabrication facility in Sumter.

Lead and Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

To stabilize its lead costs and reduce volatility from currency movements, the Company enters into contracts with financial institutions. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Please refer to Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments for more details.

Other Exit Charges

During fiscal 2019, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Targovishte, Bulgaria, which produced diesel-electric submarine batteries.

5.00% Senior Notes

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum and have an original face value of $300,000. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on April 30 and October 30 of each year and commenced on October 30, 2015. The Notes will mature on April 30, 2023, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in full. The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally, by certain of its subsidiaries that are guarantors (the “Guarantors”) under the Amended 2017 Credit Facility. The Guarantees are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantors.

2017 Credit Facility and Subsequent Amendment

In fiscal 2018, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”). The 2017 Credit Facility scheduled to mature on September 30, 2022 comprised a $600,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“2017 Revolver”) and a $150,000 senior secured term loan (“2017 Term Loan”). The Company utilized the borrowings from the 2017 Credit Facility to repay its pre-existing credit facility.

In fiscal 2019, the Company amended the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Amended Credit Facility”) to fund the Alpha acquisition. The Amended Credit Facility consists of $449,105 senior secured term loans (the “Amended 2017 Term Loan”), including a CAD 133,050 ($99,105) term loan and a $700,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Amended 2017 Revolver”). The amendment resulted in an increase of the 2017 Term Loan and the 2017 Revolver by $299,105 and $100,000, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $249,000 outstanding under the Amended 2017 Revolver and $434,813 under the Amended 2017 Term Loan.

Subsequent to the amendment, the quarterly installments payable on the Amended 2017 Term Loan are $5,645 beginning December 31, 2018, $8,468 beginning December 31, 2019 and $11,290 beginning December 31, 2020 with a final payment of $320,000 on September 30, 2022. The Amended Credit Facility may be increased by an aggregate amount of $325,000 in revolving commitments and / or one or more new tranches of term loans, under certain conditions. Both the Amended 2017 Revolver and the Amended 2017 Term Loan bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) plus (i) LIBOR plus between 1.25% and 2.00% (currently 1.25% and based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio) or (ii) the U.S. Dollar Base Rate (which equals, for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America “Prime Rate” and (c) the Eurocurrency Base Rate plus 1%; provided that, if the Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero) (iii) the CDOR Base Rate equal to the higher of (a) Bank of America “Prime Rate” and (b) average 30-day CDOR rate plus 0.50%. Obligations under the Amended Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future acquired assets, including substantially all of the capital stock of the Company’s United States subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Credit Facility and up to 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are owned by the Company’s United States subsidiaries.

The Amended Credit Facility allows for up to two temporary increases in the maximum leverage ratio from 3.50x to 4.00x for a four quarter period following an acquisition larger than $250,000. Effective December 7, 2018 through December 30, 2018, the maximum leverage ratio has been increased to 4.00x.

The current portion of the Amended 2017 Term Loan of $31,049 is classified as long-term debt as the Company expects to refinance the future quarterly payments with revolver borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility.

Short-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company had $35,081 and $54,490, respectively, of short-term borrowings. The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings was approximately 3% and 4% at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of EnerSys. EnerSys and its representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in EnerSys’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its reports to stockholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “plans,” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions identify statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that EnerSys expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including statements relating to sales growth, earnings or earnings per share growth, and market share, as well as statements expressing optimism or pessimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. The forward-looking statements are and will be based on management’s then-current beliefs and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance and on information currently available to management, and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of uncertainties and risks, including the risks described in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2019 Annual Report”) and other unforeseen risks. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, even if subsequently made available by us on our website or otherwise, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including the following factors:
general cyclical patterns of the industries in which our customers operate;
the extent to which we cannot control our fixed and variable costs;
the raw materials in our products may experience significant fluctuations in market price and availability;
certain raw materials constitute hazardous materials that may give rise to costly environmental and safety claims;
legislation regarding the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in our products;
risks involved in our operations such as disruption of markets, changes in import and export laws, environmental regulations, currency restrictions and local currency exchange rate fluctuations;
our ability to raise our selling prices to our customers when our product costs increase;
the extent to which we are able to efficiently utilize our global manufacturing facilities and optimize our capacity;
general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate;
competitiveness of the battery markets and other energy solutions for industrial applications throughout the world;
our timely development of competitive new products and product enhancements in a changing environment and the acceptance of such products and product enhancements by customers;
our ability to adequately protect our proprietary intellectual property, technology and brand names;
litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we might be subject;
our expectations concerning indemnification obligations;
changes in our market share in the geographic business segments where we operate;
our ability to implement our cost reduction initiatives successfully and improve our profitability;
quality problems associated with our products;
our ability to implement business strategies, including our acquisition strategy, manufacturing expansion and restructuring plans;
our acquisition strategy may not be successful in locating advantageous targets;
our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel we acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies, strategic gains, and cost savings may be significantly harder to achieve, if at all, or may take longer to achieve;
potential goodwill impairment charges, future impairment charges and fluctuations in the fair values of reporting units or of assets in the event projected financial results are not achieved within expected time frames;
our debt and debt service requirements which may restrict our operational and financial flexibility, as well as imposing unfavorable interest and financing costs;
our ability to maintain our existing credit facilities or obtain satisfactory new credit facilities;
adverse changes in our short and long-term debt levels under our credit facilities;
our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable-rate debt;
our ability to attract and retain qualified management and personnel;
our ability to maintain good relations with labor unions;
credit risk associated with our customers, including risk of insolvency and bankruptcy;
our ability to successfully recover in the event of a disaster affecting our infrastructure;
terrorist acts or acts of war, could cause damage or disruption to our operations, our suppliers, channels to market or customers, or could cause costs to increase, or create political or economic instability; and
the operation, capacity and security of our information systems and infrastructure.

Table of Contents


This list of factors that may affect future performance is illustrative, but by no means exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.

In the following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition, certain financial measures may be considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. EnerSys’ management uses the non-GAAP measures “primary working capital” and “primary working capital percentage” in its evaluation of business segment cash flow and financial position performance. These disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for cash flow determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Management believes that this non-GAAP supplemental information is helpful in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results.

Overview

EnerSys (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) is the world’s largest manufacturer, marketer and distributor of industrial batteries. We also manufacture, market and distribute products such as battery chargers, power equipment, battery accessories, and outdoor cabinet enclosures. Additionally, we provide related aftermarket and customer-support services for our products. We market our products globally to over 10,000 customers in more than 100 countries through a network of distributors, independent representatives and our internal sales force.

We operate and manage our business in three geographic regions of the world—Americas, EMEA and Asia, as described below. Our business is highly decentralized with manufacturing locations throughout the world. More than half of our manufacturing capacity is located outside the United States, and approximately 40% of our net sales were generated outside the United States. The Company currently has three reportable business segments based on geographic regions, defined as follows:

Americas, which includes North and South America, with our segment headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.;
EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with our segment headquarters in Zug, Switzerland; and
Asia, which includes Asia, Australia and Oceania, with our segment headquarters in Singapore.

We did not change our reporting segments this quarter as previously disclosed. We are continuing to make our evaluation based on more current information.

Alpha Acquisition

On December 7, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. (“ATS”) and Alpha Technologies Ltd. (“ATL”), resulting in ATS and ATL becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “share purchase”). Additionally, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Alpha Technologies Inc. and certain assets of Altair Advanced Industries, Inc. and other affiliates of ATS and ATL (all such sellers, together with ATS and ATL, “Alpha”), in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of certain restructuring agreements (collectively, the “asset acquisition” and together with the share purchase, the “acquisition”). Based in Bellingham, Washington, Alpha is a global industry leader in the comprehensive commercial-grade energy solutions for broadband, telecom, renewable, industrial and traffic customers around the world. The initial purchase consideration for the acquisition was $750.0 million of which $650.0 million was paid in cash and the balance was settled by issuing 1,177,630 shares of EnerSys common stock. These shares were issued out of the Company's treasury stock and were valued at $84.92 per share, which was based on the thirty-day volume weighted average stock price of the Company’s common stock at closing, in accordance with the purchase agreement. The 1,177,630 shares had a closing date fair value of $93.3 million, based upon the December 7, 2018 closing date spot rate of $79.20. The total purchase consideration, consisting of cash paid of $650.0 million, shares valued at $93.3 million and adjustment for working capital (due from seller of $0.8 million) was $742.5 million.

The results of operations of Alpha have been included in the Company’s Americas segment.

Economic Climate

Recent indicators continue to suggest a mixed trend in economic activity among the different geographical regions. North America's experiencing moderate economic growth while EMEA's economic growth is slow. Our Asia region continues to grow faster than any other region in which we do business.

Volatility of Commodities and Foreign Currencies

Our most significant commodity and foreign currency exposures are related to lead and the Euro, respectively. Historically, volatility of commodity costs and foreign currency exchange rates have caused large swings in our production costs. As the global economic climate changes, we anticipate that our commodity costs and foreign currency exposures may continue to fluctuate as they have in the past several years.


27

Table of Contents

Customer Pricing

Our selling prices fluctuated during the last several years to offset the volatile cost of commodities. Approximately 30% of our revenue is currently subject to agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead. During fiscal 2019, our selling prices rose in response to increased lead and other commodity costs. Lead prices rose for the most part of fiscal 2018, peaked in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and then declined sequentially in every quarter in fiscal 2019. Based on current commodity markets, we will likely see year over year benefits from declining commodity prices, with some related reduction in our selling prices in the upcoming year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our financial position is strong, and we have substantial liquidity with $262 million of available cash and cash equivalents and available and undrawn credit lines of approximately $568 million at June 30, 2019 to cover short-term liquidity requirements and anticipated growth in the foreseeable future.

In fiscal 2018, we entered into a new credit facility (“2017 Credit Facility”) that consisted of a $600 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“2017 Revolver”) and a $150 million senior secured term loan (“2017 Term Loan”) with a maturity date of September 30, 2022. In fiscal 2019, we amended the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Amended Credit Facility”). The Amended Credit Facility consists of $449.1 million senior secured term loans (the “Amended 2017 Term Loan”), including a CAD 133.0 million ($99.1 million) term loan and a $700.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Amended 2017 Revolver”). The amendment resulted in an increase of the 2017 Term Loan and the 2017 Revolver by $299.1 million and $100.0 million, respectively.

A substantial majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held by foreign subsidiaries and are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and expected to be utilized to fund local operating activities, capital expenditure requirements and acquisitions. The Company believes that it has sufficient sources of domestic and foreign liquidity.

We believe that our strong capital structure and liquidity affords us access to capital for future acquisition and stock repurchase opportunities and continued dividend payments.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales increased $109.3 million or 16.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. This increase was the result of a 22% increase due to the Alpha acquisition, partially offset by a 3% decrease in organic volume, a 2% decrease in foreign currency translation impact and a 1% decrease in pricing.

The Americas segment’s net sales increased $124.6 million or 31.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to a 39% increase from the Alpha acquisition, partially offset by a 6% decrease in organic volume and a combined 1% decrease in pricing and foreign currency translation impact.

The EMEA segment’s net sales decreased $7.3 million or 3.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to a 5% decrease due to foreign currency translation impact and a 2% decrease in pricing, partially offset by a 3% increase in organic volume.

The Asia segment’s net sales decreased $8.0 million or 11.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to a 8% decrease in organic volume and a 4% decrease in foreign currency translation impact.

Net sales of our reserve power products in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 increased $111.8 million or 34.5% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase was primarily due to a 47% increase from the Alpha acquisition, partially offset by a 10% decrease in organic volume and a 2% decrease in foreign currency translation impact. The decrease in organic volume is primarily from the reclassification of sales made to Alpha as intercompany rather than external sales, in the prior year quarter, and the conclusion of a large enclosure order a year ago.

Net sales of our motive power products segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased by $2.5 million or 0.7% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a 2% decrease each in pricing and foreign currency translation impact, partially offset by a 3% increase in organic volume.

Gross profit increased $36.2 million or 21.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, increased 120 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. This increase during the current quarter in the gross profit margin is largely a function of commodity costs relative to pricing, as well the impact of Alpha's higher margins, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs.

Operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased 190 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding the impact of the foreign currency translation, the increase in dollars reflects the inclusion of Alpha and the additional investments in new product development.

Selling expenses, our main component of operating expenses, were 45.1% of total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to 49.5% of total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Restructuring and other exit charges

Included in our first quarter of fiscal 2020 operating results are restructuring charges of $0.6 million in the Americas, $0.6 million in EMEA and $0.5 million in Asia, all of which relate to improving operational efficiencies in the respective regions. Also included in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 operating results are non-cash exit charges of $0.7 million in EMEA, relating to the closure of our facility in Targovishte, Bulgaria.

Table of Contents

Included in our first quarter of fiscal 2019 operating results are restructuring charges of $1.2 million in EMEA and $0.6 million in Asia. The charges in the EMEA relate to improving efficiencies of our general operations, while charges in Asia relate to a strategic shift in our India operations from reserve power production to motive power production.

(1) The percentages shown for the segments are computed as a percentage of the applicable segment’s net sales.


Operating earnings increased $4.1 million or 6.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Operating earnings, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 70 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Americas segment's operating earnings, excluding restructuring charges, decreased 170 basis points, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in the first quarter is primarily due to our ERP execution challenges at our Richmond, Kentucky, facility which continued to result in missed sales opportunities and higher manufacturing costs. This negative impact was partially offset by the impact of lower commodity costs and Alpha's contribution to operating earnings of $17 million or 11.4% of its sales.

The EMEA segment's operating earnings, excluding restructuring and other exit charges, decreased 50 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. EMEA suffered from a decrease in pricing and unfavorable mix.

The Asia segment's operating earnings, excluding restructuring charges, decreased 110 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 due to lower organic volume.

Interest expense of $10.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 (net of interest income of $0.5 million) was $4.4 million higher than the interest expense of $6.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (net of interest income of $0.5 million).

The increase in interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to higher interest rates and higher average debt. Our average debt outstanding was $1,052.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $612.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increased borrowings were primarily to fund the Alpha acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

Included in interest expense are non-cash charges for deferred financing fees of $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $0.3 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. Our effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, change in tax laws and the amount of our consolidated income before taxes.

On December 22, 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. In fiscal 2019, we completed our accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Act and recognized a one-time transition tax of $84.0 million, inclusive of uncertain tax positions. On June 14, 2019 final regulations were issued for items relating to the Tax Act. As a result, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we recognized the uncertain tax position related to the one-time transition tax liability of $11.5 million. This did not result in a change to the transition tax liability of $84.0 million, previously recorded in fiscal 2019.

The consolidated effective income tax rates for the first quarters of fiscal 2020 and 2019 were 17.0% and 19.7%, respectively. The rate decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.

Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be 64% for fiscal 2020 compared to 66% for fiscal 2019. The foreign effective income tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019 were 11.5% and 11.8%, respectively. The rate decrease compared to the prior year period is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of our overall foreign mix of income and is taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 6% in both the current and prior year quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Table of Contents

Report. The adoption of ASC 842 did not result in a material change to our current critical accounting estimates. See Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, for further information on the adoption of ASC 842.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities provided cash of $30.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $25.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, cash provided by operating activities was primarily from net earnings of $48.6 million, depreciation and amortization of $20.7 million, stock-based compensation of $3.9 million and non-cash interest of $0.4 million. Cash provided by earnings as adjusted for non-cash items were partially offset by the increase in primary working capital of $23.6 million, net of currency translation changes. Accrued expenses decreased by $16.3 million primarily for payments of $7.3 million related to the German competition authority matter (See Note 10 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and $6.1 million paid to the seller in connection with the Alpha acquisition, for certain reimbursable pre-acquisition items.
 
In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, cash provided by operating activities was primarily from net earnings of $46.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $13.7 million, stock-based compensation of $4.3 million, non-cash charges relating to write-off of assets of $1.1 million, non-cash interest of $0.3 million and provision for doubtful accounts of $0.3 million. Cash provided by earnings as adjusted for non-cash items were partially offset by the increase in primary working capital of $26.6 million, net of currency translation changes, and a decrease in accrued expenses of $13.5 million, comprising primarily of incentives, interest, freight and professional services fees.

As explained in the discussion of our use of “non-GAAP financial measures,” we monitor the level and percentage of primary working capital to sales. Primary working capital for this purpose is trade accounts receivable, plus inventories, minus trade accounts payable. The resulting net amount is divided by the trailing three month net sales (annualized) to derive a primary working capital percentage. Primary working capital was $838.6 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 26.9%) at June 30, 2019, $835.6 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 26.2%) at March 31, 2019 and $672.6 million at July 1, 2018 (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 25.1%). The primary working capital percentage of 26.9% at June 30, 2019 is 70 basis points higher than that for March 31, 2019, and 180 basis points higher than that for the prior year period. The increase in primary working capital compared to the prior year period is primarily due to the inclusion of the Alpha primary working capital components, while the increase from March 31, 2019 is due primarily to the build up of inventories.

Primary working capital and primary working capital percentages at June 30, 2019March 31, 2019 and July 1, 2018 are computed as follows:

(1) The Company acquired Alpha on December 7, 2018, as disclosed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, the Primary working capital and related calculations as of July 1, 2018 do not include Alpha's primary working capital and its components.

Investing activities used cash of $17.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 which primarily consisted of capital expenditures relating to plant improvements.

Investing activities used cash of $15.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and primarily consisted of capital expenditures.

Financing activities used cash of $51.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we borrowed $95.0 million under the Amended 2017 Revolver and repaid $85.0 million of the Amended 2017 Revolver. Repayment on the Amended 2017 Term Loan was $5.6 million and net payments on short-term debt were $19.5 million. Treasury stock open market purchases were $23.0 million, payment of cash dividends to our stockholders were $7.5 million and payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards were $6.1 million.

Financing activities provided cash of $8.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we borrowed $64.0 million under the 2017 Revolver and repaid $54.5 million. Payment of cash dividends to our stockholders were $7.3 million and payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards were $3.5 million. Proceeds from stock options were $6.8 million and net borrowings on short-term debt were $3.0 million.
 
Currency translation had a positive impact of $1.5 million on our cash balance in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to a negative impact of $28.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, principal currencies in which we do business such as the Euro, Swiss franc, Polish zloty and Mexican peso strengthened versus the U.S. dollar.

Table of Contents

As a result of the above, total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $37.1 million to $262.1 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to a decrease by $9.6 million to $512.5 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

All obligations under our Amended Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, substantially all of our U.S. assets. The Amended Credit Facility contains various covenants which, absent prepayment in full of the indebtedness and other obligations, or the receipt of waivers, limit our ability to conduct certain specified business transactions, buy or sell assets out of the ordinary course of business, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, pay dividends and take certain other actions. There are no prepayment penalties on loans under this credit facility.

We are in compliance with all covenants and conditions under our credit agreement and our 5.00% Senior Notes due 2023. We believe that we will continue to comply with these covenants and conditions, and that we have the financial resources and the capital available to fund the foreseeable organic growth in our business and to remain active in pursuing further acquisition opportunities. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2019 Annual Report and Note 12 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed description of our debt.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

A table of our obligations is contained in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations of our 2019 Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, except for presentation changes resulting from the adoption of ASC 842 during the current quarter, we had no significant changes to our contractual obligations table contained in our 2019 Annual Report.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in raw material costs, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy does not allow speculation in derivative instruments for profit or execution of derivative instrument contracts for which there are no underlying exposures. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to any leveraged derivatives. We monitor our underlying market risk exposures on an ongoing basis and believe that we can modify or adapt our hedging strategies as needed.

Counterparty Risks

We have entered into lead forward purchase contracts and foreign exchange forward and purchased option contracts to manage the risk associated with our exposures to fluctuations resulting from changes in raw material costs and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. Those contracts that result in a liability position at June 30, 2019 are $0.6 million (pre-tax). Those contracts that result in an asset position at June 30, 2019 are $1.0 million (pre-tax) and the vast majority of these will settle within one year. The impact on the Company due to nonperformance by the counterparties has been evaluated and not deemed material.

Interest Rate Risks

We are exposed to changes in variable U.S. interest rates on borrowings under our credit agreements as well as short-term borrowings in our foreign subsidiaries.

A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased interest expense, on an annualized basis, by approximately $7.3 million on the variable rate portions of our debt.

Commodity Cost Risks – Lead Contracts

We have a significant risk in our exposure to certain raw materials. Our largest single raw material cost is for lead, for which the cost remains volatile. In order to hedge against increases in our lead cost, we have entered into forward contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. A vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. We had the following contracts outstanding at the dates shown below:

Table of Contents


For the remaining three quarters of this fiscal year, we believe approximately 45% of the cost of our lead requirements is known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at June 30, 2019, lead purchased by June 30, 2019 that will be reflected in future costs under our FIFO accounting policy, and the benefit from our lead tolling program.

We estimate that a 10% increase in our cost of lead would have increased our cost of goods sold by approximately $17 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. Approximately 40% of our sales and expenses are transacted in foreign currencies. Our sales revenue, production costs, profit margins and competitive position are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we manufacture or purchase goods relative to the strength of the currencies in countries where our products are sold. Additionally, as we report our financial statements in U.S. dollars, our financial results are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we have operations relative to the strength of the U.S. dollar. The principal foreign currencies in which we conduct business are the Euro, Swiss franc, British pound, Polish zloty, Chinese renminbi and Mexican peso.

We quantify and monitor our global foreign currency exposures. Our largest foreign currency exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in Europe. Additionally, we have currency exposures from intercompany financing and intercompany and third party trade transactions. On a selective basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and purchase option contracts to reduce the impact from the volatility of currency movements; however, we cannot be certain that foreign currency fluctuations will not impact our operations in the future.

We hedge approximately 5% - 10% of the nominal amount of our known foreign exchange transactional exposures. We primarily enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the earnings and cash flow impact of the variation of non-functional currency denominated receivables and payables. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year.

Gains and losses resulting from hedging instruments offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the underlying assets and liabilities being hedged. The maturities of the forward exchange contracts generally coincide with the settlement dates of the related transactions. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in the same period as gains and losses on the hedged items. We also selectively hedge anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange exposure, primarily with foreign currency exchange contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging.

At June 30, 2019 and July 1, 2018, we estimate that an unfavorable 10% movement in the exchange rates would have adversely changed our hedge valuations by approximately $2.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
 
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. We completed the Alpha acquisition on December 7, 2018 and are in the process, but have not yet concluded our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting including Alpha. Accordingly, pursuant to the SEC's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of an assessment in the year of acquisition, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures does not include Alpha. For the first quarter of fiscal 2020, Alpha accounted for $151.1 million of our total net sales and as of June 30, 2019 had total assets of $930.1 million.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and determined that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ENERSYS
AWARD AGREEMENT FOR EMPLOYEES – TSR PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS
UNDER THE 2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
THIS AWARD AGREEMENT FOR EMPLOYEES – TSR PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS (this “Agreement”), dated as of _____________, is between ENERSYS, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the individual identified on the signature page hereof (the “Participant”).
BACKGROUND
A. The Participant is currently an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.
B. The Company desires to (i) provide the Participant with an incentive to remain in the employ of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) increase the Participant’s interest in the success of the Company by granting Performance Share Units, a form of a Restricted Stock Unit under the Plan (the “Performance Share Units”), to the Participant.
C. This grant of Performance Share Units is (i) made pursuant to the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”); (ii) made subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (iii) not employment compensation nor an employment right and is made in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Definitions; Incorporation of Plan Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. This Agreement and the Performance Share Units shall be subject to the Plan. The terms of the Plan, the Background provisions of this Agreement and Appendix A are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference and made a part hereof as if set forth in their entirety in this Section 1. If there is a conflict or an inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern.
2.     Grant of Performance Share Units.
(a)     Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of Performance Share Units specified on the signature page of this Agreement. The Company shall credit to a

1

 


bookkeeping account maintained by the Company, or a third party on behalf of the Company, for the Participant’s benefit, the number of Performance Share Units granted hereunder, each of which shall be deemed to be the equivalent of one share of the Company’s Common Stock.
(b)     If the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on Common Stock in the form of cash, then a number of additional Performance Share Units shall be credited to the Participant as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution equal to the result of dividing (i) the product of the total number of Performance Share Units credited to the Participant as of the record date for such dividend or distribution (other than previously settled or forfeited Performance Share Units) times the per share amount of such dividend or distribution, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock as of the record date for such dividend or distribution. Any Performance Share Units credited to the Participant under this subsection shall: (A) be or become vested or forfeited (as appropriate) to the same extent as the underlying Performance Share Unit, (B) be settled as provided under Section 3(d) for such underlying Performance Share Unit, and (C) be subject to the TSR Performance Multiplier (as hereinafter defined) that applies to such underlying Performance Share Unit.
(c)     If the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on Common Stock in the form of additional shares, or there occurs a forward split of Common Stock, then a number of additional Performance Share Units shall be credited to the Participant as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution or forward split equal to (i) the number of Performance Share Units credited to the Participant as of the record date for such dividend or distribution or split (other than previously settled or forfeited Performance Share Units), multiplied by (ii) the number of additional shares actually paid as a dividend or distribution or issued in such split in respect of each outstanding share of Common Stock. Any Performance Share Units credited to the Participant under this subsection shall: (A) be or become vested or forfeited (as appropriate) to the same extent as the underlying Performance Share Unit, (B) be settled as provided under Section 3(d) for such underlying Performance Share Unit, and (C) be subject to the TSR Performance Multiplier that applies to such underlying Performance Share Unit.
3.     Terms and Conditions.
(a)     Vesting and Number Earned. All of the Performance Share Units shall initially be unvested. The Performance Share Units shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the vesting of the Performance Share Units is conditioned upon the Participant remaining continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary following the Date of Grant (as specified on the signature page of this Agreement) until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Date”).
(i)     Subject to Sections 3(a)(iii), 3(a)(iv), 3(a)(v), 3(a)(vi), 3(b) and 3(c), the number of Performance Share Units that shall vest and become non‑forfeitable (the “Earned Performance Share Units”) shall equal the product of (A) the number of Performance Share Units granted to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement (as such number of Performance Share Units may be adjusted from time-to-time as provided in this Agreement or in the Plan) and (B) the TSR Performance Multiplier set forth in the chart below based on the Company’s Actual

2

 


TSR Percentile for the Performance Period (as each such term is defined below); provided, however, that in no event shall the TSR Performance Multiplier exceed two hundred percent (200%):
Actual TSR Percentile
TSR Performance Multiplier
75th or higher
200
%
50th
100
%
25th
50
%
Below 25th
0
%

(ii)     The TSR Performance Multiplier will be interpolated on a linear basis between the levels stated in the chart above. For example, if the Actual TSR Percentile for the Performance Period were the 60th percentile, then the TSR Performance Multiplier would be 140%. Any Performance Share Units that do not vest based on the performance requirements set forth in this Section 3(a) (and which have not previously terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) will automatically terminate as of the Vesting Date. The number of Earned Performance Share Units that vest based on performance will be determined by the Compensation Committee following the end of the Performance Period and payment of vested Earned Performance Share Units will be made in the period provided for in Section 3(d). Any such determination by the Compensation Committee shall be final and binding.
For purposes of the Award, the following definitions shall apply:
Actual TSR Percentile” means the percentile ranking of the Company’s TSR among the TSRs for the companies comprising the Comparator Peer Group on the last day of the Performance Period. For purposes of clarity, the Company’s TSR shall be ranked against the TSRs for such companies regardless of whether the Company is a member of the Comparator Peer Group at such time.
Beginning Price” means, with respect to the Company and any other company in the Comparator Peer Group, the average of the closing market prices of such company’s common stock on the principal exchange on which such stock is traded for the sixty (60) consecutive calendar days ending with the first day of the Performance Period or, in the case of a company that is not traded on a stock exchange on the first day of the Performance Period, the average of the closing market prices of such company’s common stock on the principal exchange on which such stock is thereafter first admitted to trading for the sixty (60) consecutive calendar days commencing with the first day in the Performance Period on which such company’s common stock is so traded. In either case, as to a stock which goes ex‑dividend during such 60‑day period, the closing market prices as to such stock for the portion of the 60‑day period

3

 


preceding the ex‑dividend date shall be equitably adjusted to exclude the amount of the related dividend.
Comparator Peer Group” means the companies that comprise the S&P SmallCap® 600 Industrials Index as of the date of the beginning of the Performance Period as published by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (or its successor), or if such index ceases to be published or is otherwise unavailable, an alternate index deemed comparable by the Compensation Committee.
Ending Price” means, with respect to the Company and any other company in the Comparator Peer Group, the average of the closing market prices of such company’s common stock on the principal exchange on which such stock is traded for the sixty (60) consecutive calendar days ending with the last day of the Performance Period. As to a stock which goes ex‑dividend during such 60‑day period, the closing market prices as to such stock for the portion of the 60‑day period preceding the ex‑dividend date shall be equitably adjusted to exclude the amount of the related dividend.
Performance Period” means the period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending on the Vesting Date.
TSR” means total shareholder return and shall be determined with respect to the Company and any other company in the Comparator Peer Group by dividing: (A) the sum of (1) the difference obtained by subtracting the Beginning Price from the Ending Price plus (2) all amounts resulting from dividends and other distributions for which the ex‑dividend date (or similar date in the case of a distribution other than a dividend) related to such dividend or other distribution occurs during the Performance Period (assuming same day reinvestment of the dividends in Common Stock at the closing price on the ex-dividend date) by (B) the Beginning Price. Any non‑cash distributions shall be ascribed such dollar value as may be determined by or at the direction of the Compensation Committee.
TSR Performance Multiplier” means the applicable percentage specified in the chart set forth in Section 3(a)(i) based on the Company’s Actual TSR Percentile.
(iii)     Any Performance Share Units that fail to vest because the employment condition is not satisfied shall be forfeited, subject to the special provisions set forth in Sections 3(a)(iv) through 3(a)(vi).
(iv)     In the event of a Change in Control prior to the Vesting Date where the holders of the Company’s Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the Performance Share Units shall immediately become

4

 


vested. Any Performance Share Unit that vests as a result of a Change in Control under this subsection shall vest based on the TSR Performance Multiplier determined by substituting the date of such Change in Control for the Vesting Date. For purposes of this Section 3(a)(iv) and any acceleration of the Performance Share Units upon a Change in Control, a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur only if, in addition to the requirements set forth in the Plan, the Change in Control also meets the requirements of IRS Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5), to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes thereunder.
(v)     (A) If the Participant’s employment terminates due to death or Permanent Disability, or (B) if, on or within two years after a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iv)), the Participant (x) terminates employment for Good Reason, or (y) is terminated by the Company without Cause, Performance Share Units not previously vested shall immediately become vested based on the TSR Performance Multiplier determined by substituting the date of such termination of employment for the Vesting Date (provided, however, that in the event of a Change in Control under this subsection, the TSR Performance Multiplier shall be determined as of the date of such Change in Control.).
(vi)     In the event of the Participant’s Retirement, the Compensation Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, whether and the manner in which Performance Share Units not previously vested (or any portion thereof) shall be vested and be settled pursuant to Section 3(d) subject to actual performance results. In the absence of Compensation Committee action, upon such Retirement, the Performance Share Units which have not vested as of the date of such termination shall vest pro-rata as of the date of the Participant’s Retirement; provided, however, that such Performance Share Units shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in Section 3(b). All such Performance Share Units which shall not have vested as a result of such Retirement shall be immediately and automatically forfeited without consideration of any kind and to the extent that the date the Participant first becomes eligible for Retirement and the Settlement Date (as hereinafter defined) are in different tax years, any amount payable under this subsection shall constitute the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A unless an exemption under the treasury regulations is available.
The number of Performance Share Units vesting pro-rata upon Retirement (absent action to the contrary by the Compensation Committee) described in the penultimate sentence of the foregoing paragraph of this Section 3(a)(vi) shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the quotient obtained by dividing the number of completed months that the Participant was employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries during the Performance Period by the number of months during the Performance Period, by (B) the total number of Performance Share Units awarded (rounding up to the nearest whole number). The number of Earned Performance Share Units upon Retirement shall be determined as of the end of the Performance Period and be based on the TSR Multiplier for the Performance Period.
(b)     Restrictions on Transfer. Until the earlier of (i) the Settlement Date (as hereinafter defined), (ii) the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iv), and (iii) the date of a termination of employment described in Section 3(a)(v), or as otherwise

5

 


provided in the Plan, no transfer of the Performance Share Units or any of the Participant’s rights with respect to the Performance Share Units, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be permitted. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, upon any attempt to transfer any Performance Share Unit or any rights in respect of any Performance Share Units before the earlier of the Settlement Date, the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iv), and the date of a termination of employment described in Section 3(a)(v), or as otherwise provided in the Plan, such Performance Share Unit, and all of the rights related to such Performance Share Unit, shall be immediately and automatically forfeited by the Participant without consideration of any kind.
(c)     Forfeiture. Upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason other than one of the reasons set forth in subsections (v) and (vi) of Section 3(a), the Participant shall forfeit any and all Performance Share Units which have not vested as of the date of such termination and such units shall revert to the Company without consideration of any kind.
(d)     Settlement. Earned Performance Share Units not previously forfeited shall be settled on the earlier of (i) the Settlement Date, (ii) the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iv), (iii) the date of a termination of employment due to death or Permanent Disability, and (iv) the date of a termination of employment on or within two years after a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(v), by delivery of one share of Common Stock for each Earned Performance Share Unit being settled or, if determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, by a payment of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock for each Earned Performance Share Unit being settled. If the Participant dies following a Retirement described in Section 3(a)(vi) prior to the Vesting Date, in such case, the Company shall deliver one share of Common Stock for each Earned Performance Share Unit not previously forfeited and being settled or, if determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, by a payment of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock for each Earned Performance Share Unit being settled to the Participant’s estate (or beneficiary) upon his or her death. The “Settlement Date” shall be the first anniversary of the Vesting Date.
(e)     Payout Limit. In no event shall the total dollar value of the Earned Performance Share Units as of earlier of (i) the Vesting Date, (ii) the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iv), (iii) the date of a termination of employment due to death or Permanent Disability, and (iv) the date of a termination of employment on or within two years after a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(v) exceed the Payout Limit (as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement). Any Earned Performance Share Units resulting from dividends or distributions do not count toward the Payout Limit.
4.     Noncompetition. The Participant agrees with the Company that, for as long as the Participant is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and continuing for twelve (12) months (or such longer period as may be provided in an employment or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or as provided in the last sentence of this Section 4) following a termination of such employment, the Participant shall not,

6

 


without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, and whether as principal or investor or as an employee, officer, director, manager, partner, consultant, agent, or otherwise, alone or in association with any other person, firm, corporation, or other business organization, engage or otherwise become involved in a Competing Business in the Americas, Europe, Middle East or Asia, or in any other geographic area throughout the world (a) in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any of the activities that comprise a Competing Business during the Participant’s employment, or (b) in which the Participant has knowledge of the Company’s plans to engage in any of the activities that comprise a Competing Business (including, without limitation, in any area in which any customer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be located); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 4 shall apply solely to those activities of a Competing Business, with which the Participant was personally involved or for which the Participant was responsible while employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) month period preceding termination of the Participant’s employment. This Section 4 will not be violated, however, by the Participant’s investment of up to US$100,000 in the aggregate in one or more publicly-traded companies that engage in a Competing Business. The restrictions of this Section 4 shall also apply during any continued settlement period after Retirement described in Section 3(a)(vi).
5.     Wrongful Solicitation. As a separate and independent covenant, the Participant agrees with the Company that, for so long as the Participant is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and continuing for twelve (12) months (or such longer period as may be provided in an employment or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or as provided in the last sentence of this Section 5) following a termination of such employment, the Participant shall not engage in any Wrongful Solicitation. The restrictions of this Section 5 shall also apply during any continued settlement period after Retirement described in Section 3(a)(vi).
6.     Confidentiality; Specific Performance.
(a)     The Participant agrees with the Company that the Participant shall not at any time, except in performance of the Participant’s obligations to the Company hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, reveal to any person, entity, or other organization (other than the Company, or its employees, officers, directors, stockholders, or agents) or use for the Participant’s own benefit any information deemed to be confidential by the Company or any of its Affiliates (“Confidential Information”) relating to the assets, liabilities, employees, goodwill, business, or affairs of the Company or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, any information concerning past, present, or prospective customers, manufacturing processes, marketing, operating, or financial data, or other confidential information used by, or useful to, the Company or any of its Affiliates and known (whether or not known with the knowledge and permission of the Company or any of its Affiliates and whether or not at any time prior to the Date of Grant developed, devised, or otherwise created in whole or in part by the efforts of the Participant) to the Participant by reason of the Participant’s employment with, equity holdings in, or other association with the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will retain all copies and extracts of any written Confidential Information acquired or developed by the Participant during any such

7

 


employment, equity holding, or association in trust for the sole benefit of the Company, its Affiliates, and their successors and assigns. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, remove or take from the Company’s or any of its Affiliate’s premises (or if previously removed or taken, the Participant will promptly return) any written Confidential Information or any copies or extracts thereof. Upon the request and at the expense of the Company, the Participant shall promptly make all disclosures, execute all instruments and papers, and perform all acts reasonably necessary to vest and confirm in the Company and its Affiliates, fully and completely, all rights created or contemplated by this Section 6. The term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by, or at the direction of, the Participant.
(b)     The Participant agrees that upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason, the Participant will return to the Company immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way evidencing (in whole or in part) Confidential Information relating to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will not retain or use for the Participant’s account at any time any trade names, trademark, or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
(c)     The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 6, or Section 4 or 5 above, would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Participant agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond (or other security other than any mandatory minimum or nominal bond or security), shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.
7.     Taxes.
(a)     This Section 7(a) applies only to (i) all Participants who are U.S. employees, and (ii) to those Participants who are employed by a Subsidiary of the Company that is obligated under applicable local law to withhold taxes with respect to the settlement of the Performance Share Units. Such Participant shall pay to the Company or a designated Subsidiary, promptly upon request, and in any event at the time the Participant recognizes taxable income, or withholding of employment taxes is required, with respect to the Performance Share Units, an amount equal to the taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to the Performance Share Units. The Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by making a payment to the Company in cash or, in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the Compensation Committee, by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock or by having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock in which the Participant would otherwise become vested under this Agreement,

8

 


in each case, having a value equal to the maximum amount of tax permitted to be withheld that will not result in adverse financial accounting consequences to the Company. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.
(b)     The Participant acknowledges that the tax laws and regulations and financial accounting principles and guidance applicable to the Performance Share Units and the disposition of the shares following the settlement of Performance Share Units are complex and subject to change.
8.     Securities Laws Requirements. The Company shall not be obligated to transfer any shares following the settlement of Performance Share Units to the Participant free of a restrictive legend if such transfer, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (or any other federal or state statutes having similar requirements as may be in effect at that time).
9.     No Obligation to Register. The Company shall be under no obligation to register any shares as a result of the settlement of the Performance Share Units pursuant to the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws.
10.     Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act for such period as the Company or its underwriters may request (such period not to exceed 180 days following the date of the applicable offering), the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any of the Performance Share Units granted under this Agreement or any shares resulting the settlement thereof without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters.
11.     Protections Against Violations of Agreement. No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any of the Performance Share Units by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, will be valid, and the Company will not transfer any shares resulting from the settlement of Performance Share Units on its books nor will any of such shares be entitled to vote, nor will any dividends be paid thereon, unless and until there has been full compliance with such provisions to the satisfaction of the Company. The foregoing restrictions are in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies, legal or equitable, available to enforce such provisions.
12.     Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall not possess the right to vote the shares underlying the Performance Share Units until the Performance Share Units have been settled in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan.

9

 


13.     Survival of Terms. This Agreement shall apply to and bind the Participant and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors. The terms of Sections 4-7, 13, 14, 16, 18-21 and 23 shall expressly survive the forfeiture of the Performance Share Units and the termination of this Agreement.
14.     Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Participant, to the Participant’s attention at the mailing address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (or to such other address as the Participant shall have specified to the Company in writing) and, if to the Company, to the Company’s office at 2366 Bernville Road, Reading, Pennsylvania 19605, Attention: General Counsel (or to such other address as the Company shall have specified to the Participant in writing). All such notices shall be conclusively deemed to be received and shall be effective, if sent by hand delivery, upon receipt, or if sent by registered or certified mail, on the fifth day after the day on which such notice is mailed.
15.     Waiver. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this Agreement.
16.     Authority of the Administrator. The Compensation Committee shall have full authority to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, including, but not limited to, making all determinations regarding eligibility, vesting, forfeiture and the calculation of the number of Performance Share Units awarded or credited under this Agreement. The determination of the Compensation Committee as to any such matter of interpretation, construction or calculation shall be final, binding and conclusive.
17.     Representations. The Participant has reviewed with his or her own tax advisors the applicable tax (U.S., foreign, state, and local) consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
18.     Investment Representation. The Participant hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the Participant, by reason of the Participant’s business or financial experience (or the business or financial experience of the Participant’s professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Participant’s own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.
19.     Entire Agreement; Language; Governing Law. This Agreement and the Plan and the other related agreements expressly referred to herein set forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in one or more

10

 


counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement. The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement has been prepared in English and may be translated into one or more other languages. If there is a discrepancy between or among any of these versions, the English version shall prevail. Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, this Agreement may be executed electronically. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, other than its conflicts of laws principles.
20.     Severability; Judicial Reformation. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, or enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties hereto with any such modification (if any) to become a part hereof and treated as though contained in this original Agreement. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity, subject or otherwise so as to be unenforceable, in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision, such provision or provisions shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting or reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear, and such determination by such judicial body shall not affect the enforceability of such provisions or provisions in any other jurisdiction.
21.     Amendments; Construction. The Compensation Committee may amend the terms of this Agreement prospectively or retroactively at any time, but (unless otherwise provided under Section 18 of the Plan) no such amendment shall impair the rights of the Participant hereunder without his or her consent. To the extent the terms of Section 4 conflict with any prior agreement between the parties related to such subject matter, the terms of Section 4, to the extent more restrictive, shall supersede such conflicting terms and control. Headings to Sections of this Agreement are intended for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall have no effect on the interpretation hereof.
22.     Acceptance. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant has read and understand the terms and provision thereof, and accepts the Performance Share Units subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Compensation Committee upon any questions arising under this Agreement.
23.     Miscellaneous.
(a)     No Rights to Grants or Continued Employment. The Participant acknowledges that the award granted under this Agreement is not employment compensation nor is it an employment right, and is being granted at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Participant shall not have any claim or right to receive grants of Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement, or any action taken or omitted to be taken

11

 


hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to create or confer on the Participant any right to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof to terminate the employment of the Participant at any time.
(b)     No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred, or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
(c)     Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign any of its rights and to delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the Company (including any person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Company).
(d)     Adjustments. The Performance Share Units shall be adjusted or terminated as contemplated by Section 16(a) of the Plan, including, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, rounding to the nearest whole number of Performance Share Units or shares of Common Stock, as applicable.
(e)     Clawback Policy. The Performance Share Units and any cash or shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Performance Share Units shall be subject to the terms of the clawback policy adopted by the Board of Directors (as such policy may be amended from time-to-time).
24.     Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the receipt of any benefits under this Agreement as a result of a termination of employment shall be subject to satisfaction of the condition precedent that the Participant undergo a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A‑1(h) or any successor thereto. In addition, if a Participant is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provisions of any benefit that is required to be delayed pursuant to Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of the Participant's “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)), or (ii) the date of the Participant's death (the “Delay Period”). Within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the

12

 


Participant in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

Appendix A
to
Award Agreement for Employees – TSR Performance Share Units
Under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan
This Appendix A contains supplemental terms and conditions for awards of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) granted as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Agreement under the EnerSys 2017 Equity Incentive Plan to Participants who reside outside the United States or who are otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States.
The Participant has also received the Agreement applicable to the Award set forth therein. The Agreement, together with this Appendix A and the Plan are the terms and conditions of the grant of PSUs set forth in the Agreement. To the extent that this Appendix A amends, deletes or supplements any terms of the Agreement, this Appendix A shall control. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
Section I of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the PSUs outside of the United States. Section II of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the PSUs in all countries, excluding France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom. Section III of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the PSUs in France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom. Section IV of this Appendix A includes special terms and conditions in the specific countries listed therein.
This Appendix A may also include information regarding exchange controls, taxation of awards and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, tax and other laws concerning PSUs in effect as of July 30, 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently; the information may be out of date at the time the Participant vests in the PSUs or sell shares acquired under the Plan. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant should not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
In addition, this Appendix A is general in nature, does not discuss all of the various laws, rules and regulations which may apply to the Participant’s particular situation and the Company does not assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country apply to the Participant’s specific situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working, transferred employment after the Award was granted or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner. In addition, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein will apply under these circumstances.

16

ii.The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in

17

 


connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant of the PSUs, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon vesting/settlement of the PSUs, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.

vi.The Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if the Participant fails to comply with this obligation.
3.

4.
Foreign Asset/Account and Exchange Control Reporting.

I understand that the Company and the employer may hold certain personal information about me, including, but not limited to, my name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
I understand that Data will be transferred to a third party plan administrator, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. I understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than my country. I understand that if I reside outside the United States, I may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting my local human resources representative. I authorize the Company, the third party administrator and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan. I understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Plan. I understand that if I reside outside the United States, I may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing my local human resources representative. Further, I understand that I am providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If I do not consent, or if I later seek to revoke my consent, my employment status or service and career with the employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing my consent is that the Company would not be able to grant me the Award or other awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, I understand that refusing or withdrawing my consent may affect my ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of my refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, I understand that I may contact my local human resources representative.

You understand that the Company and the Employer hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Personal Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
You understand that providing the Company with this Personal Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that your refusal to provide the Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. Your Personal Data shall be accessible within the Company only by the persons specifically charged with Personal Data processing operations and by the persons that need to access the Personal Data because of their duties and position in relation to the performance of this Agreement.
The Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You may, at any time and without cost, contact the EnerSys Legal Department at legal@enersys.com to enforce your rights under the data protection laws in your country, which may include the right to (i) request access to or copies of Personal Data subject to processing; (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data; (iii) request deletion of Personal Data; (iv) request restriction on processing of Personal Data; (v) request portability of Personal Data; (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country; and/or (vii) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data.

Securities Law Information. The grant of PSUs is being made in reliance on Section 273(1)(f) of the SFA, under which it is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements under the SFA and is not made to the Participant with a view to the shares of Common Stock being

Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Company’s Singapore Subsidiary or Affiliate in writing when the Participant receives an interest (e.g., PSUs or shares of Common Stock) in the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. This notification must be made (a) within two (2) business days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or becoming the CEO or a director, associate director or shadow director, whichever occurs last, and (b) upon any change in a previously disclosed interest (e.g., sale of shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting and settlement of the PSUs).
Switzerland
Securities Law Information. The offer of the PSUs is considered a private offering in Switzerland and therefore is not subject to securities registration in Switzerland.

The Participant expressly agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company, the Employer and/or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HRMC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Participant’s behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act) and the indemnification of the Company and the Employer is viewed as a loan, the Participant will be ineligible for such a loan to cover income tax. In the event that the Participant is a director or executive officer and

32

 


income taxes are not collected from or paid by the Participant within ninety (90) days after the end of the tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax obligation arose, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant will be responsible for reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer (as applicable) for any employee NICs due on this additional benefit which may be recovered from the Participant by the Company or the Employer at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to herein.

Exhibit 10.2
ENERSYS
AWARD AGREEMENT FOR EMPLOYEES –
EPS PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS
UNDER THE 2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
THIS AWARD AGREEMENT FOR EMPLOYEES – EPS PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS (this “Agreement”), dated as of __________is between ENERSYS, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the individual identified on the signature page hereof (the “Participant”).
BACKGROUND
A. The Participant is currently an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.
B. The Company desires to (i) provide the Participant with an incentive to remain in the employ of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) increase the Participant’s interest in the success of the Company by granting Performance Share Units, a form of a Restricted Stock Unit under the Plan (the “Performance Share Units”), to the Participant.
C. This grant of Performance Share Units is (i) made pursuant to the EnerSys 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”); (ii) made subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (iii) not employment compensation nor an employment right and is made in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Definitions; Incorporation of Plan Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. This Agreement and the Performance Share Units shall be subject to the Plan. The terms of the Plan, the Background provisions of this Agreement and Appendix A are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference and made a part hereof as if set forth in their entirety in this Section 1. If there is a conflict or an inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall govern.
2.     Grant of Performance Share Units.
(a)     Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of Performance Share Units specified on the signature page of this Agreement. The Company shall credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company, or a third party on behalf of the Company, for

1

 


the Participant’s benefit, the number of Performance Share Units granted hereunder, each of which shall be deemed to be the equivalent of one share of the Company’s Common Stock.
(b)     If the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on Common Stock in the form of cash, then a number of additional Performance Share Units shall be credited to the Participant as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution equal to the result of dividing (i) the product of the total number of Performance Share Units credited to the Participant as of the record date for such dividend or distribution (other than previously settled or forfeited Performance Share Units) times the per share amount of such dividend or distribution, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock as of the record date for such dividend or distribution. Any Performance Share Units credited to the Participant under this subsection shall: (A) be or become vested or forfeited (as appropriate) to the same extent as the underlying Performance Share Unit, (B) be settled as provided under Section 3(d) for such underlying Performance Share Unit, and (C) be subject to the EPS Performance Multiplier (as hereinafter defined) that applies to such underlying Performance Share Unit.
(c)     If the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on Common Stock in the form of additional shares, or there occurs a forward split of Common Stock, then a number of additional Performance Share Units shall be credited to the Participant as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution or forward split equal to (i) the number of Performance Share Units credited to the Participant as of the record date for such dividend or distribution or split (other than previously settled or forfeited Performance Share Units), multiplied by (ii) the number of additional shares actually paid as a dividend or distribution or issued in such split in respect of each outstanding share of Common Stock. Any Performance Share Units credited to the Participant under this subsection shall: (A) be or become vested or forfeited (as appropriate) to the same extent as the underlying Performance Share Unit, (B) be settled as provided under Section 3(d) for such underlying Performance Share Unit, and (C) be subject to the EPS Performance Multiplier that applies to such underlying Performance Share Unit.
3.     Terms and Conditions.
(a)     Vesting and Number Earned. All of the Performance Share Units shall initially be unvested. The Performance Share Units shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the vesting of the Performance Share Units is conditioned upon the Participant remaining continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary following the Date of Grant (as specified on the signature page of this Agreement) until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Date”) with such three-year period, the “Vesting Period”.
(i)     Subject to Sections 3(a)(iii), 3(a)(iv), 3(a)(v), 3(a)(vi), 3(b) and 3(c), the number of Performance Share Units that shall vest and become non‑forfeitable (the “Earned Performance Share Units”) shall equal the product of (A) the number of Performance Share Units granted to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement (as such number of Performance Share Units may be adjusted from time-to-time as provided in this Agreement or in the Plan) and (B) the EPS Performance Multiplier set forth in the chart below based on the Company’s

2

 


Cumulative Adjusted EPS for the Performance Period (as each such term is defined below); provided, however, that in no event shall the EPS Performance Multiplier exceed two hundred percent (200%):
 
EPS Performance Multiplier
Maximum (goal = 120% of Target Cumulative Adjusted EPS)
200
%
Target Cumulative Adjusted EPS
100
%
Threshold (goal = 80% of Target Cumulative Adjusted EPS)
50
%
Below threshold
0
%

(ii)     The EPS Performance Multiplier will be interpolated on a linear basis between the levels stated in the chart above. For example, if the Cumulative Adjusted EPS for the Performance Period were the 110% of Target, then the EPS Performance Multiplier would be 150%. Any Performance Share Units that do not vest based on the performance requirements set forth in this Section 3(a) (and which have not previously terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) will automatically terminate as of the Vesting Date. The number of Earned Performance Share Units that vest based on performance will be determined by the Compensation Committee following the end of the Performance Period and payment of vested Earned Performance Share Units will be made in the period provided for in Section 3(d). Any such determination by the Compensation Committee (including, but not limited to, a determination to reduce the number of Earned Performance Share Units that vest) shall be final and binding.
For purposes of the Award, the following definitions shall apply:
Cumulative Adjusted EPS” means the sum of the Adjusted EPS for each fiscal year in Performance Period.
Adjusted EPS” means, for each fiscal year in the Performance Period, a dollar amount equal to Adjusted Net Income for such fiscal year divided by Diluted Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding for such fiscal year.
Adjusted Net Income” means, determined cumulatively for the Performance Period, Net Income (as reported in the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ending during the Performance Period), excluding the following extraordinary items as determined by the Compensation Committee: merger and acquisition-related costs, an acquisition’s operating results in the fiscal year in which the acquisition is completed, gains and losses on divestitures and sales of certain assets, changes in accounting standards, changes in tax laws, restructuring

3

 


charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, legal settlements, and foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Diluted Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding” means such amount as determined on the last day of each fiscal year in the Performance Period (as set forth in the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to the relevant fiscal year), less any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into, derivative of, Common Stock issued, during such fiscal year in the Performance Period, as consideration in connection with any merger, acquisition, or other transaction by the Company, calculated on weighted average shares outstanding basis using the same methodology set forth in the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to the relevant fiscal year.
Performance Period” means the period commencing April 1, 2019 and ending March 31, 2022.
Target Cumulative Adjusted EPS” means the dollar amount set forth on the signature page
(iii)     Any Performance Share Units that fail to vest because the employment condition is not satisfied shall be forfeited, subject to the special provisions set forth in Sections 3(a)(iv) through 3(a)(vi).
(iv)     In the event of a Change in Control prior to the Vesting Date where the holders of the Company’s Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the Performance Share Units shall immediately become vested. Any Performance Share Unit that vests as a result of a Change in Control under this subsection shall vest based on Cumulative EPS as of the date of such Change in Control with the EPS Performance Multiplier determined by the Compensation Committee. For purposes of this Section 3(a)(iv) and any acceleration of the Performance Share Units upon a Change in Control, a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur only if, in addition to the requirements set forth in the Plan, the Change in Control also meets the requirements of IRS Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5), to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes thereunder.
(v)     (A) If the Participant’s employment terminates due to death or Permanent Disability, or (B) if, on or within two years after a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iv)), the Participant (x) terminates employment for Good Reason, or (y) is terminated by the Company without Cause, Performance Share Units not previously vested shall immediately become vested based on Cumulative EPS as of the date of such termination of employment with the EPS Performance Multiplier determined by the Compensation Committee (provided, however, that in the event of a Change in Control under this subsection, the Cumulative EPS shall be determined as of the Change in Control with the EPS Performance Multiplier determined by the Compensation Committee).

(vi)     In the event of the Participant’s Retirement, the Compensation Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, whether and the manner in which Performance Share Units not previously vested (or any portion thereof) shall be vested and be settled pursuant to Section 3(d) subject to actual performance results. In the absence of Compensation Committee action, upon such Retirement, the Performance Share Units which have not vested as of the date of such termination shall vest pro-rata as of the date of the Participant’s Retirement; provided, however, that such Performance Share Units shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in Section 3(b). All such Performance Share Units which shall not have vested as a result of such Retirement shall be immediately and automatically forfeited without consideration of any kind and to the extent that the date the Participant first becomes eligible for Retirement and the Settlement Date (as hereinafter defined) are in different tax years, any amount payable under this subsection shall constitute the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A unless an exemption under the treasury regulations is available.
The number of Performance Share Units vesting pro-rata upon Retirement (absent action to the contrary by the Compensation Committee) described in the penultimate sentence of the foregoing paragraph of this Section 3(a)(vi) shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the quotient obtained by dividing the number of completed months that the Participant was employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries during the Vesting Period by the number of months during the Vesting Period, by (B) the total number of Performance Share Units awarded (rounding up to the nearest whole number). The number of Earned Performance Share Units upon Retirement shall be determined as of the end of the Performance Period and be based on the EPS Performance Multiplier for the Performance Period.
(b)     Restrictions on Transfer. Until the earlier of (i) the Settlement Date (as hereinafter defined), (ii) the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iv), and (iii) the date of a termination of employment described in Section 3(a)(v), or as otherwise provided in the Plan, no transfer of the Performance Share Units or any of the Participant’s rights with respect to the Performance Share Units, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be permitted. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, upon any attempt to transfer any Performance Share Unit or any rights in respect of any Performance Share Units before the earlier of the Settlement Date, the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iv), and the date of a termination of employment described in Section 3(a)(v), or as otherwise provided in the Plan, such Performance Share Unit, and all of the rights related to such Performance Share Unit, shall be immediately and automatically forfeited by the Participant without consideration of any kind.
(c)     Forfeiture. Upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason other than one of the reasons set forth in subsections (v) and (vi) of Section 3(a), the Participant shall forfeit any and all Performance Share Units which have not vested as of the date of such termination and such units shall revert to the Company without consideration of any kind.

5

 


(d)     Settlement. Earned Performance Share Units not previously forfeited shall be settled on the earlier of (i) the Settlement Date, (ii) the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iv), (iii) the date of a termination of employment due to death or Permanent Disability, and (iv) the date of a termination of employment on or within two years after a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(v), by delivery of one share of Common Stock for each Earned Performance Share Unit being settled or, if determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, by a payment of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock for each Earned Performance Share Unit being settled. If the Participant dies following a Retirement described in Section 3(a)(vi) prior to the Vesting Date, in such case, the Company shall deliver one share of Common Stock for each Earned Performance Share Unit not previously forfeited and being settled or, if determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, by a payment of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock for each Earned Performance Share Unit being settled to the Participant’s estate (or beneficiary) upon his or her death. The “Settlement Date” shall be the first anniversary of the Vesting Date.
4.     Noncompetition. The Participant agrees with the Company that, for as long as the Participant is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and continuing for twelve (12) months (or such longer period as may be provided in an employment or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or as provided in the last sentence of this Section 4) following a termination of such employment, the Participant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, and whether as principal or investor or as an employee, officer, director, manager, partner, consultant, agent, or otherwise, alone or in association with any other person, firm, corporation, or other business organization, engage or otherwise become involved in a Competing Business in the Americas, Europe, Middle East or Asia, or in any other geographic area throughout the world (a) in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any of the activities that comprise a Competing Business during the Participant’s employment, or (b) in which the Participant has knowledge of the Company’s plans to engage in any of the activities that comprise a Competing Business (including, without limitation, in any area in which any customer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be located); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 4 shall apply solely to those activities of a Competing Business, with which the Participant was personally involved or for which the Participant was responsible while employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) month period preceding termination of the Participant’s employment. This Section 4 will not be violated, however, by the Participant’s investment of up to US$100,000 in the aggregate in one or more publicly-traded companies that engage in a Competing Business. The restrictions of this Section 4 shall also apply during any continued settlement period after Retirement described in Section 3(a)(vi).
5.     Wrongful Solicitation. As a separate and independent covenant, the Participant agrees with the Company that, for so long as the Participant is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and continuing for twelve (12) months (or such longer period as may be provided in an employment or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or as provided in the last sentence of this Section 5) following a termination of such employment, the Participant shall not engage in any Wrongful Solicitation.

6

 


The restrictions of this Section 5 shall also apply during any continued settlement period after Retirement described in Section 3(a)(vi).
6.     Confidentiality; Specific Performance.
(a)     The Participant agrees with the Company that the Participant shall not at any time, except in performance of the Participant’s obligations to the Company hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, reveal to any person, entity, or other organization (other than the Company, or its employees, officers, directors, stockholders, or agents) or use for the Participant’s own benefit any information deemed to be confidential by the Company or any of its Affiliates (“Confidential Information”) relating to the assets, liabilities, employees, goodwill, business, or affairs of the Company or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, any information concerning past, present, or prospective customers, manufacturing processes, marketing, operating, or financial data, or other confidential information used by, or useful to, the Company or any of its Affiliates and known (whether or not known with the knowledge and permission of the Company or any of its Affiliates and whether or not at any time prior to the Date of Grant developed, devised, or otherwise created in whole or in part by the efforts of the Participant) to the Participant by reason of the Participant’s employment with, equity holdings in, or other association with the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will retain all copies and extracts of any written Confidential Information acquired or developed by the Participant during any such employment, equity holding, or association in trust for the sole benefit of the Company, its Affiliates, and their successors and assigns. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, remove or take from the Company’s or any of its Affiliate’s premises (or if previously removed or taken, the Participant will promptly return) any written Confidential Information or any copies or extracts thereof. Upon the request and at the expense of the Company, the Participant shall promptly make all disclosures, execute all instruments and papers, and perform all acts reasonably necessary to vest and confirm in the Company and its Affiliates, fully and completely, all rights created or contemplated by this Section 6. The term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by, or at the direction of, the Participant.
(b)     The Participant agrees that upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason, the Participant will return to the Company immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way evidencing (in whole or in part) Confidential Information relating to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will not retain or use for the Participant’s account at any time any trade names, trademark, or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
(c)     The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 6, or Section 4 or 5

7

 


above, would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Participant agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond (or other security other than any mandatory minimum or nominal bond or security), shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.
7.     Taxes.
(a)     This Section 7(a) applies only to (i) all Participants who are U.S. employees, and (ii) to those Participants who are employed by a Subsidiary of the Company that is obligated under applicable local law to withhold taxes with respect to the settlement of the Performance Share Units. Such Participant shall pay to the Company or a designated Subsidiary, promptly upon request, and in any event at the time the Participant recognizes taxable income, or withholding of employment taxes is required, with respect to the Performance Share Units, an amount equal to the taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to the Performance Share Units. The Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by making a payment to the Company in cash or, in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the Compensation Committee, by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock or by having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock in which the Participant would otherwise become vested under this Agreement, in each case, having a value equal to the maximum amount of tax permitted to be withheld that will not result in adverse financial accounting consequences to the Company. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.
(b)     The Participant acknowledges that the tax laws and regulations and financial accounting principles and guidance applicable to the Performance Share Units and the disposition of the shares following the settlement of Performance Share Units are complex and subject to change.
8.     Securities Laws Requirements. The Company shall not be obligated to transfer any shares following the settlement of Performance Share Units to the Participant free of a restrictive legend if such transfer, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (or any other federal or state statutes having similar requirements as may be in effect at that time).
9.     No Obligation to Register. The Company shall be under no obligation to register any shares as a result of the settlement of the Performance Share Units pursuant to the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws.
10.     Market Stand-Off.

9

 


determination of the Compensation Committee as to any such matter of interpretation, construction or calculation shall be final, binding and conclusive.
17.     Representations. The Participant has reviewed with his or her own tax advisors the applicable tax (U.S., foreign, state, and local) consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
18.     Investment Representation. The Participant hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the Participant, by reason of the Participant’s business or financial experience (or the business or financial experience of the Participant’s professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Participant’s own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.
19.     Entire Agreement; Language; Governing Law. This Agreement and the Plan and the other related agreements expressly referred to herein set forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement. The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement has been prepared in English and may be translated into one or more other languages. If there is a discrepancy between or among any of these versions, the English version shall prevail. Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, this Agreement may be executed electronically. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA.
20.     Severability; Judicial Reformation. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, or enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties hereto with any such modification (if any) to become a part hereof and treated as though contained in this original Agreement. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity, subject or otherwise so as to be unenforceable, in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision, such provision or provisions shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting or reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear, and such determination by such judicial body shall not affect the enforceability of such provisions or provisions in any other jurisdiction.
21.     Amendments; Construction. The Compensation Committee may amend the terms of this Agreement prospectively or retroactively at any time, but (unless otherwise provided under Section 18 of the Plan) no such amendment shall impair the rights of the Participant

10

 


hereunder without his or her consent. To the extent the terms of Section 4 conflict with any prior agreement between the parties related to such subject matter, the terms of Section 4, to the extent more restrictive, shall supersede such conflicting terms and control. Headings to Sections of this Agreement are intended for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall have no effect on the interpretation hereof.
22.     Acceptance. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant has read and understand the terms and provision thereof, and accepts the Performance Share Units subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Compensation Committee upon any questions arising under this Agreement.
23.     Miscellaneous.
(a)     No Rights to Grants or Continued Employment. The Participant acknowledges that the award granted under this Agreement is not employment compensation nor is it an employment right, and is being granted at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Participant shall not have any claim or right to receive grants of Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement, or any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to create or confer on the Participant any right to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof to terminate the employment of the Participant at any time.
(b)     No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred, or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
(c)     Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign any of its rights and to delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the Company (including any person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Company).
(d)     Adjustments. The Performance Share Units shall be adjusted or terminated as contemplated by Section 16(a) of the Plan, including, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, rounding to the nearest whole number of Performance Share Units or shares of Common Stock, as applicable.

11

 


(e)     Clawback Policy. The Performance Share Units and any cash or shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Performance Share Units shall be subject to the terms of the clawback policy adopted by the Board of Directors (as such policy may be amended from time-to-time).
24.     Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the receipt of any benefits under this Agreement as a result of a termination of employment shall be subject to satisfaction of the condition precedent that the Participant undergo a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A‑1(h) or any successor thereto. In addition, if a Participant is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provisions of any benefit that is required to be delayed pursuant to Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of the Participant's “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)), or (ii) the date of the Participant's death (the “Delay Period”). Within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Participant in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

Appendix A
to
Award Agreement for Employees – EPS Performance Share Units
Under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan
This Appendix A contains supplemental terms and conditions for awards of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) granted as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Agreement under the EnerSys 2017 Equity Incentive Plan to Participants who reside outside the United States or who are otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States.
The Participant has also received the Agreement applicable to the Award set forth therein. The Agreement, together with this Appendix A and the Plan are the terms and conditions of the grant of PSUs set forth in the Agreement. To the extent that this Appendix A amends, deletes or supplements any terms of the Agreement, this Appendix A shall control. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
Section I of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the PSUs outside of the United States. Section II of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the PSUs in all countries, excluding France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom. Section III of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the PSUs in France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom. Section IV of this Appendix A includes special terms and conditions in the specific countries listed therein.
This Appendix A may also include information regarding exchange controls, taxation of awards and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, tax and other laws concerning PSUs in effect as of July 30, 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently; the information may be out of date at the time the Participant vests in the PSUs or sell shares acquired under the Plan. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant should not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
In addition, this Appendix A is general in nature, does not discuss all of the various laws, rules and regulations which may apply to the Participant’s particular situation and the Company does not assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country apply to the Participant’s specific situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working, transferred employment after the Award was granted or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner. In addition, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein will apply under these circumstances.

14

 


Section I.     All Countries Outside the United States
1.
Nature of Grant. In accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the grant of the PSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of PSUs, or benefits in lieu of PSUs, even if PSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Company;
(d)the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)the PSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the PSUs are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, and which is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any;
(f)the PSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the PSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights, if any, or compensation;
(g)the PSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the PSUs, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate;
(h)the grant of the PSUs and the Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate;
(i)the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j)if the Participant obtains shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Participant’s PSUs, the value of those shares acquired may increase or decrease in value;
(k)in consideration of the grant of the PSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the PSUs resulting from

15

 


termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, the Participant will be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim;
(l)in the event of termination of the Participant’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant’s right to vest in the PSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Compensation Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Participant’s Award;
(m)the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of Common Stock;
(n)the Participant is hereby advised to consult with the Participant’s personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan;
(o)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the PSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the PSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; and
(p)neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor any Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the PSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the PSUs or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired upon settlement.

16

 


2.
Payment of Taxes. The following provisions supplement Section 7 of the Agreement entitled “Taxes.”
(a)Regardless of any action the Company or the Subsidiary/Affiliate that employs the Participant (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, the Participant’s portion of social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.
(b)The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant of the PSUs, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon vesting/settlement of the PSUs, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.
(c)Further, if the Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(d)The Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued or cash distributed upon vesting/settlement of the PSUs; (2) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; (3) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting/settlement of the PSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization).
(e)To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Participant shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested PSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

17

 


(f)The Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if the Participant fails to comply with this obligation.
3.
Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different), the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or sell shares of Common Stock or rights to shares of Common Stock (e.g., PSUs) under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” (as defined by the laws in the applicable country). The insider trading and/or market abuse laws may be different from any Company Insider Trading Policy. The Participant personally is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult with the Participant’s personal legal advisor for additional information about any applicable restrictions and the Participant’s obligations.
4.
Foreign Asset/Account and Exchange Control Reporting. The Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different) may have certain exchange controls and foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect the Participant’s ability to purchase or hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan or receive cash from the Participant’s participation in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of shares of Common Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Further, the Participant may be required to repatriate the shares of Common Stock or proceeds acquired as a result of participating in the Plan to the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different) through a designated bank/broker and/or within a certain time. The Participant personally is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable reporting obligations and should consult with the Participant’s personal legal advisor for additional information about such obligations.

Section II.
All Countries Excluding France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and United Kingdom
Data Privacy Consent.
I hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of my personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award grant materials by and among, as applicable, the employer, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan (“Data”).
I understand that the Company and the employer may hold certain personal information about me, including, but not limited to, my name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
I understand that Data will be transferred to a third party plan administrator, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. I understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than my country. I understand that if I reside outside the United States, I may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting my local human resources representative. I authorize the Company, the third party administrator and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan. I understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Plan. I understand that if I reside outside the United States, I may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing my local human resources representative. Further, I understand that I am providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If I do not consent, or if I later seek to revoke my consent, my employment status or service and career with the employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing my consent is that the Company would not be able to grant me the Award or other awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, I understand that refusing or withdrawing my consent may affect my ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of my refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, I understand that I may contact my local human resources representative.

Section III.
France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and United Kingdom
Data Privacy Notice.
You are hereby notified of the collection, use and transfer outside of the European Economic Area, as described in this Agreement, in electronic or other form, of your Personal Data (defined below) by and among, as applicable, the Company and certain of its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates for the purpose of performing and satisfying its contractual obligations under the Agreement and for the necessary, exclusive and legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that the Company and the Employer hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Personal Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
You understand that providing the Company with this Personal Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that your refusal to provide the Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. Your Personal Data shall be accessible within the Company only by the persons specifically charged with Personal Data processing operations and by the persons that need to access the Personal Data because of their duties and position in relation to the performance of this Agreement.
The Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You may, at any time and without cost, contact the EnerSys Legal Department at legal@enersys.com to enforce your rights under the data protection laws in your country, which may include the right to (i) request access to or copies of Personal Data subject to processing; (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data; (iii) request deletion of Personal Data; (iv) request restriction on processing of Personal Data; (v) request portability of Personal Data; (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country; and/or (vii) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data.
The Company provides appropriate safeguards for protecting Personal Data that it receives in the U.S. through its adherence to data transfer agreements (which include model contractual clauses) entered into between the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates within the European Union.
Further, you are hereby notified that the Company and certain of its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of your participation in the Plan. When transferring Personal Data to these recipients, the Company and its Subsidiaries and/or

20

 


Affiliates, as applicable, will provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with the data transfer agreements entered into between these parties.
The Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may each further transfer Personal Data to Solium Capital LLC and/or such other third parties as may be selected by the Company, which are assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Personal Data with such other provider(s) serving in a similar manner. Solium Captial LLC is based in the United States. Your country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. Nonetheless, your Personal Data will be transferred to Solium Capital LLC for the exclusive purpose of administering your participation in the Plan. The Company's legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Personal Data to Solium Capital LLC is that such transfer is necessary for the purpose of performing and satisfying its contractual obligations under the Agreement.
Finally, you may choose to opt out of allowing the Company to share your Personal Data with Solium Capital LLC and others as described above, although execution of such choice may mean the Company cannot grant awards under the Plan to you. Please consult your local human resources representative, Privacy Champion, Data Protection Officer (if applicable), or the Legal Department, if you have any questions or comments concerning this choice and the processing of your data.

The Australian bank assisting with the transactions will file the report on the Participant’s behalf.

Foreign property, including shares of Common Stock and other rights to receive shares of Common Stock (e.g., PSUs), of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident employee must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement), if the total cost of the Participant’s foreign assets exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. The PSUs must be reported, generally at nil cost, if the C$100,000 threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property the Participant holds. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of such shares, ordinarily equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares at the time of acquisition, but if the Participant owns other shares of Common Stock, the ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. The Participant personally is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable reporting obligations and should consult with the Participant’s personal legal advisor for additional information about such obligations.

Page 1 of 1



(a)    Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units specified on the signature page of this Agreement. The Company shall credit to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company, or a third party on behalf of the Company, for the Participant’s benefit, the number of Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder, each of which shall be deemed to be the equivalent of one share of the Company’s Common Stock.
(b)    If the Company declares and pays a dividend or a distribution on Common Stock in the form of cash, then a number of additional Restricted Stock Units shall be credited to the Participant as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution equal to the result of dividing (i) the product of the total number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant as of the record date for such dividend or distribution (other than previously settled or forfeited Restricted Stock Units) times the per share amount of such dividend or distribution, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock as of the record date for such dividend or distribution. Any Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant under this subsection shall be or become vested or forfeited (as appropriate) to the same extent as the underlying Restricted Stock Units.
(c)    If the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock in the form of additional shares, or there occurs a forward split of Common Stock, then a number of additional Restricted Stock Units shall be credited to the Participant as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution or forward split equal to (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant as of the record date for such dividend or distribution or split (other than previously settled or forfeited Restricted Stock Units), multiplied by (ii) the number of additional shares actually paid as a dividend or distribution or issued in such split in respect of each outstanding share of Common Stock. Any Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant under this subsection shall be or become vested or forfeited (as appropriate) to the same extent as the underlying Restricted Stock Unit.
3.Terms and Conditions.
(a)    Vesting. All of the Restricted Stock Units shall initially be unvested. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Stock Units (rounded up to the nearest whole number) shall vest on the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement and on each of the next three (3) successive anniversaries thereof (each such anniversary, a “Vesting Date”) unless previously vested or forfeited in accordance with the Plan or this Agreement (the “Normal Vesting Schedule”).
(i)    Any Restricted Stock Units that fail to vest because the employment condition is not satisfied shall be forfeited, subject to the special provisions set forth in Subsections 3(a)(ii) through 3(a)(iv).


Page 2 of 2



(ii)    (A) If the Participant’s employment terminates due to death or Permanent Disability or (B) if, in the event of a Change in Control where the holders of the Company’s Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, Restricted Stock Units not previously vested shall immediately become vested. With respect to any of the Restricted Stock Units that constitute “deferred compensation” as defined under Code Section 409A, for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii) and any acceleration of the Restricted Stock Units upon a Change in Control, a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur only if, in addition to the requirements set forth in the Plan, the Change in Control also meets the requirements of IRS Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5), to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes thereunder.
(iii)    If on or within two years after a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(ii) above), the Participant (A) terminates employment for Good Reason, or (B) is terminated by the Company without Cause, Restricted Stock Units not previously vested shall immediately become vested.
(iv)    In the event of the Participant’s Retirement, the Compensation Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, whether and the manner in which Restricted Stock Units not previously vested (or any portion thereof) shall be vested and be settled pursuant to Section 3(d). In the absence of Compensation Committee action, upon such Retirement, the Restricted Stock Units which have not vested as of the date of such termination shall vest pro-rata as of the date of the Participant’s Retirement. All such Restricted Stock Units which shall have not vested as a result of such Retirement shall be immediately and automatically forfeited without consideration of any kind and to the extent that the date the Participant first becomes eligible for Retirement and the vesting date under this Section 3(a)(iv) are in different tax years, any amount payable under this subsection shall constitute the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A unless an exemption under the treasury regulations is available.
The number of unvested Restricted Stock Units that shall vest pro-rata upon Retirement (absent action to the contrary by the Compensation Committee) described in the penultimate sentence of the foregoing paragraph of this Section 3(a)(iv) shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the quotient obtained by dividing the number of completed months that the Participant was employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries since the most recent Vesting Date by 48, by (B) the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement.
(b)    Restrictions on Transfer. Until the earlier of the applicable vesting date under the Normal Vesting Schedule, the date of a termination of employment due to death or Permanent Disability, the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(ii), or the date of a termination of employment on or within two years after a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iii), or as otherwise provided in the Plan, no transfer of the Restricted Stock Units or any of the Participant’s rights with respect to the Restricted


Page 3 of 3



Stock Units, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be permitted. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, upon any attempt to transfer any Restricted Stock Units or any rights in respect of the Restricted Stock Units before the earlier of the applicable vesting date under the Normal Vesting Schedule, the date of a termination of employment due to death or Permanent Disability, the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(ii), or the date of a termination of employment on or within two years after a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iii), such unit, and all of the rights related to such unit, shall be immediately and automatically forfeited by the Participant without consideration of any kind.
(c)    Forfeiture. Upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason other than death, Permanent Disability or one of the reasons set forth in Sections 3(a)(iii) and (iv), the Participant shall forfeit any and all Restricted Stock Units which have not vested as of the date of such termination and such units shall revert to the Company without consideration of any kind.
(d)    Settlement. Restricted Stock Units not previously forfeited shall be settled on the earlier of the applicable Vesting Date under the Normal Vesting Schedule, the date of a termination of employment due to death or Permanent Disability, the date of a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(ii), the date of a termination of employment on or within two years after a Change in Control described in Section 3(a)(iii), or, unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, the date of a termination of employment due to Retirement described in Section 3(a)(iv), by delivery of one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit being settled or, if determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, by a payment of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
4.Noncompetition. The Participant agrees with the Company that, for as long as the Participant is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and continuing for twelve (12) months (or such longer period as may be provided in an employment or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries) following a termination of such employment, the Participant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, and whether as principal or investor or as an employee, officer, director, manager, partner, consultant, agent, or otherwise, alone or in association with any other person, firm, corporation, or other business organization, engage or otherwise become involved in a Competing Business in the Americas, Europe, Middle East or Asia, or in any other geographic area throughout the world (a) in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any of the activities that comprise a Competing Business during the Participant’s employment, or (b) in which the Participant has knowledge of the Company’s plans to engage in any of the activities that comprise a Competing Business (including, without limitation, in any area in which any customer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be located); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 4 shall apply solely to those activities of a Competing Business, with which the Participant was personally involved or for which the Participant was responsible while employed by the

Company or its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) month period preceding termination of the Participant’s employment. This Section 4 will not be violated, however, by the Participant’s investment of up to US$100,000 in the aggregate in one or more publicly-traded companies that engage in a Competing Business.
5.Wrongful Solicitation. As a separate and independent covenant, the Participant agrees with the Company that, for as long as the Participant is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and continuing for twelve (12) months (or such longer period as may be provided in an employment or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries) following a termination of such employment, the Participant shall not engage in any Wrongful Solicitation.

6.Confidentiality; Specific Performance.
(a)    The Participant agrees with the Company that the Participant shall not at any time, except in performance of the Participant’s obligations to the Company hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, reveal to any person, entity, or other organization (other than the Company, or its employees, officers, directors, stockholders, or agents) or use for the Participant’s own benefit any information deemed to be confidential by the Company or any of its Affiliates (“Confidential Information”) relating to the assets, liabilities, employees, goodwill, business, or affairs of the Company or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, any information concerning past, present, or prospective customers, manufacturing processes, marketing, operating, or financial data, or other confidential information used by, or useful to, the Company or any of its Affiliates and known (whether or not known with the knowledge and permission of the Company or any of its Affiliates and whether or not at any time prior to the Date of Grant developed, devised, or otherwise created in whole or in part by the efforts of the Participant) to the Participant by reason of the Participant’s employment with, equity holdings in, or other association with the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will retain all copies and extracts of any written Confidential Information acquired or developed by the Participant during any such employment, equity holding, or association in trust for the sole benefit of the Company, its Affiliates, and their successors and assigns. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, remove or take from the Company’s or any of its Affiliate’s premises (or if previously removed or taken, the Participant will promptly return) any written Confidential Information or any copies or extracts thereof. Upon the request and at the expense of the Company, the Participant shall promptly make all disclosures, execute all instruments and papers, and perform all acts reasonably necessary to vest and confirm in the Company and its Affiliates, fully and completely, all rights created or contemplated by this Section 6. The term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by, or at the direction of, the Participant.
(b)    The Participant agrees that upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason, the Participant will return to the Company immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way evidencing (in whole or in part) Confidential Information relating to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will not retain or use for the Participant’s account at any time any trade names, trademark, or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
(c)    The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 6, or Section 4 or 5 above, would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the


Page 6 of 6



Participant agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond (or other security other than any mandatory minimum or nominal bond or security), shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.
7.Taxes.
(a)    This Section 7(a) applies only to (i) all Participants who are U.S. employees, and (ii) to those Participants who are employed by a Subsidiary of the Company that is obligated under applicable local law to withhold taxes with respect to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. Such Participant shall pay to the Company or a designated Subsidiary, promptly upon request, and in any event at the time the Participant recognizes taxable income, or withholding of employment taxes is required, with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, an amount equal to the taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. The Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by making a payment to the Company in cash or, in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the Compensation Committee, by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock or by having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock in which the Participant would otherwise become vested under this Agreement, in each case, having a value equal to the maximum amount of tax permitted to be withheld that will not result in adverse financial accounting consequences to the Company. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.
(b)    The Participant acknowledges that the tax laws and regulations and financial accounting principles and guidance applicable to the Restricted Stock Units and the disposition of the shares following the settlement of Restricted Stock Units are complex and subject to change.
8.Securities Laws Requirements. The Company shall not be obligated to transfer any shares following the settlement of Restricted Stock Units to the Participant free of a restrictive legend if such transfer, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (or any other federal or state statutes having similar requirements as may be in effect at that time).
9.No Obligation to Register. The Company shall be under no obligation to register any shares as a result of the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws.
10.Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act for such period as the Company or its underwriters may request (such period not to exceed 180 days following the date of the applicable offering), the


Page 7 of 7



Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any of the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement or any shares resulting the settlement thereof without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters.
11.Protections Against Violations of Agreement. No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any of the Restricted Stock Units by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, will be valid, and the Company will not transfer any shares resulting from the settlement of Restricted Stock Units on its books nor will any of such shares be entitled to vote, nor will any dividends be paid thereon, unless and until there has been full compliance with such provisions to the satisfaction of the Company. The foregoing restrictions are in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies, legal or equitable, available to enforce such provisions.
12.Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall not possess the right to vote the shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units until the Restricted Stock Units have been settled in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan.
13.Survival of Terms. This Agreement shall apply to and bind the Participant and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors. The terms of Sections 4-7,13, 14, 16, 18-21 and 23 shall expressly survive the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units and the termination of this Agreement.
14.Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Participant, to the Participant’s attention at the mailing address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (or to such other address as the Participant shall have specified to the Company in writing) and, if to the Company, to the Company’s office at 2366 Bernville Road, Reading, Pennsylvania 19605, Attention: General Counsel (or to such other address as the Company shall have specified to the Participant in writing). All such notices shall be conclusively deemed to be received and shall be effective, if sent by hand delivery, upon receipt, or if sent by registered or certified mail, on the fifth day after the day on which such notice is mailed.
15.Waiver. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this Agreement.


Page 8 of 8



16.Authority of the Administrator. The Compensation Committee shall have full authority to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, including but not limited to making all determinations regarding eligibility, vesting, forfeiture and the calculation of the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded or credited under this Agreement. The determination of the Compensation Committee as to any such matter of interpretation, construction or calculation shall be final, binding and conclusive.
17.Representations. The Participant has reviewed with his or her own tax advisors the applicable tax (U.S., foreign, state, and local) consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
18.Investment Representation. The Participant hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the Participant, by reason of the Participant’s business or financial experience (or the business or financial experience of the Participant’s professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Participant’s own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.
19.Entire Agreement; Language; Governing Law. This Agreement and the Plan and the other related agreements expressly referred to herein set forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement. The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement has been prepared in English and may be translated into one or more other languages. If there is a discrepancy between or among any of these versions, the English version shall prevail. Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, this Agreement may be executed electronically. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, other than its conflicts of laws principles.
20.Severability; Judicial Reformation. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, or enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties hereto with any such modification (if any) to become a part hereof and treated as though contained in this original Agreement. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to


Page 9 of 9



scope, activity, subject or otherwise so as to be unenforceable, in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision, such provision or provisions shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting or reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear, and such determination by such judicial body shall not affect the enforceability of such provisions or provisions in any other jurisdiction.
21.Amendments; Construction. The Compensation Committee may amend the terms of this Agreement prospectively or retroactively at any time, but (unless otherwise provided under Section 18 of the Plan) no such amendment shall impair the rights of the Participant hereunder without his or her consent. To the extent the terms of Section 4 conflict with any prior agreement between the parties related to such subject matter, the terms of Section 4, to the extent more restrictive, shall supersede such conflicting terms and control. Headings to Sections of this Agreement are intended for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall have no effect on the interpretation hereof.
22.Acceptance. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant has read and understand the terms and provision thereof, and accepts the shares of Restricted Stock Units subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Compensation Committee upon any questions arising under this Agreement.
23.Miscellaneous.
(a)    No Rights to Grants or Continued Employment. The Participant acknowledges that the award granted under this Agreement is not employment compensation nor is it an employment right, and is being granted at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Participant shall not have any claim or right to receive grants of Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement, or any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to create or confer on the Participant any right to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof to terminate the employment of the Participant at any time.
(b)    No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred, or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the


Page 10 of 10



assets or business of the Company, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
(c)    Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign any of its rights and to delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the Company (including any person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Company).
(d)    Adjustments. The Restricted Stock Units shall be adjusted or terminated as contemplated by Section 16(a) of the Plan, including, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, rounding to the nearest whole number of Restricted Stock Units or shares of Common Stock, as applicable.
(a)    Clawback Policy. The Restricted Stock Units, and any cash or shares of Common Stock delivered upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the clawback policy adopted by the Board of Directors (as such policy may be amended from time-to-time).
24.    Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the receipt of any benefits under this Agreement as a result of a termination of employment shall be subject to satisfaction of the condition precedent that the Participant undergo a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h) or any successor thereto. In addition, if a Participant is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provisions of any benefit that is required to be delayed pursuant to Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of the Participant's “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)), or (ii) the date of the Participant's death (the “Delay Period”). Within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Participant in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

APPENDIX A
to
Award Agreement for Employees – Restricted Stock Units
Under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan
This Appendix A contains supplemental terms and conditions for awards of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) granted as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Agreement under the EnerSys 2017 Equity Incentive Plan to Participants who reside outside the United States or who are otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States.
The Participant has also received the Agreement applicable to the Award set forth therein. The Agreement, together with this Appendix A and the Plan are the terms and conditions of the grant of RSUs set forth in the Agreement. To the extent that this Appendix A amends, deletes or supplements any terms of the Agreement, this Appendix A shall control. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
Section I of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the RSUs outside of the United States. Section II of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the RSUs in all countries, excluding France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom. Section III of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the RSUs in France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom. Section IV of this Appendix A includes special terms and conditions in the specific countries listed therein.
This Appendix A may also include information regarding exchange controls, taxation of awards and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, tax and other laws concerning RSUs in effect as of July 30, 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently; the information may be out of date at the time the Participant vests in the RSUs or sell shares acquired under the Plan. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant should not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
In addition, this Appendix A is general in nature, does not discuss all of the various laws, rules and regulations which may apply to the Participant’s particular situation and the Company does not assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country apply to the Participant’s specific situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working, transferred employment after the Award was granted or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the


Page 13 of 13



information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner. In addition, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein will apply under these circumstances.
Section I.     All Countries Outside the United States
1.
Nature of Grant. In accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that:
(a)
the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)
the grant of the RSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c)
all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Company;
(d)
the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)
the RSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the RSUs are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, and which is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any;
(f)
the RSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the RSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights, if any, or compensation;
(g)
the RSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate;
(h)
the grant of the RSUs and the Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate;
(i)
the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;


Page 14 of 14



(j)
if the Participant obtains shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Participant’s RSUs, the value of those shares acquired may increase or decrease in value;
(k)
in consideration of the grant of the RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, the Participant will be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim;
(l)
in the event of termination of the Participant’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant’s right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Compensation Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Participant’s Award;
(m)
the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of Common Stock;
(n)
the Participant is hereby advised to consult with the Participant’s personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan;
(o)
unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the RSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; and
(p)
neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor any Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to


Page 15 of 15



the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired upon settlement.
2.    Payment of Taxes. The following provisions supplement Section 7 of the Agreement entitled “Taxes.”
(a)
Regardless of any action the Company or the Subsidiary/Affiliate that employs the Participant (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, the Participant’s portion of social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.
(b)
The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant of the RSUs, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.
(c)
Further, if the Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(d)
The Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued or cash distributed upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs; (2) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; (3) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting/settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization).
(e)
To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes,


Page 16 of 16



the Participant shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
(f)
The Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if the Participant fails to comply with this obligation.
3.    Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different), the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or sell shares of Common Stock or rights to shares of Common Stock (e.g., RSUs) under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” (as defined by the laws in the applicable country). The insider trading and/or market abuse laws may be different from any Company Insider Trading Policy. The Participant personally is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult with the Participant’s personal legal advisor for additional information about any applicable restrictions and the Participant’s obligations.
4.    Foreign Asset/Account and Exchange Control Reporting. The Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different) may have certain exchange controls and foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect the Participant’s ability to purchase or hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan or receive cash from the Participant’s participation in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of shares of Common Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Further, the Participant may be required to repatriate the shares of Common Stock or proceeds acquired as a result of participating in the Plan to the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different) through a designated bank/broker and/or within a certain time. The Participant personally is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable reporting obligations and should consult with the Participant’s personal legal advisor for additional information about such obligations.

Section II.     All Countries Excluding France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and United Kingdom
Data Privacy Consent.
I hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of my personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award grant materials by and among, as applicable, the employer, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan (“Data”).
I understand that the Company and the employer may hold certain personal information about me, including, but not limited to, my name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
I understand that Data will be transferred to a third party plan administrator, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. I understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than my country. I understand that if I reside outside the United States, I may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting my local human resources representative. I authorize the Company, the third party administrator and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan. I understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Plan. I understand that if I reside outside the United States, I may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing my local human resources representative. Further, I understand that I am providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If I do not consent, or if I later seek to revoke my consent, my employment status or service and career with the employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing my consent is that the Company would not be able to grant me the Award or other awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, I understand that refusing or withdrawing my consent may affect my ability to participate in the Plan. For more

The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options are from time to time referred to herein as the “Option Shares.” For purposes of the Plan and this Agreement, the Date of Grant shall be as indicated on the signature page hereof. The Options shall be exercisable as provided in this Agreement.
4.    Terms and Conditions of Options. The Options evidenced by this Agreement are subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a)    Vesting. The Options shall vest and become exercisable as follows: one-third (1/3) of the Options shall vest and become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each such one-third (1/3) of the Options which vest on each such anniversary shall be referred to herein as a “Tranche” and each such anniversary a Vesting Date) unless previously vested or forfeited in accordance with the Plan or this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent then unvested, the Options shall immediately become vested and exercisable if:
(i)
    the Participant’s employment terminates due to death or Permanent Disability, or
(ii)
    the Participant’s employment terminates within two years after a Change in Control without Cause or for Good Reason.
Further, provided, in the event of the Participant’s Retirement, a separate pro-rata portion of the Tranche of Options (to the extent then unvested) during which the Retirement occurs shall immediately become vested. The number of unvested Options that shall vest pro-rata upon Retirement shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the quotient obtained by dividing the number of completed months that the Participant was employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries since the most recent Vesting Date by 36, by (B) the number of Options subject to this Agreement (rounding up to the nearest whole number), provided however, that, the pro-rata portion that vests shall only become exercisable on the date the applicable portion of each such Tranche would have otherwise become vested under the schedule described above in this Section 4(a) absent such Retirement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences, upon a Participant’s termination of employment for any reason, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement for vesting then remaining and permit, for a specified period of time consistent with the first sentence of Section 4(b) hereof the exercise of the Options prior to the satisfaction of such requirement. Any fractional Options that would result from application of this Section 4(a) shall be aggregated and shall vest on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant.
(a)    Option Period. The Options shall expire (to the extent not previously exercised or forfeited) on, and shall not be exercisable, following the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant. In addition, all Options shall be subject to earlier expiration as provided herein or in the Plan, as follows:
(i)     if the Participant’s employment terminates due to death or, Permanent Disability or on or after a Change in Control without Cause or for Good Reason, the Participant may exercise the Options, to the extent then vested, at any time until the earlier of (A) one year following termination of employment and (B) the expiration date of the Options specified in this Section 4(b);
(ii)      if the Participant’s employment is terminated due to Retirement, the Participant may exercise the Options, to the extent then vested and exercisable, at any time until the expiration date of the Options specified in this Section 4(b);
(iii)     if the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to a Change in Control, the Participant may exercise the Options, to the extent then vested, at any time until the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days following termination of employment and (B) the expiration date of the Options specified in this Section 4(b);
(iv)     if the Participant voluntarily terminates employment with the Company, the Participant may exercise the Options, to the extent then vested, at any time until the earlier of (A) sixty (60) days following termination of employment and (B) the expiration date of the Options specified in this Section 4(b); or
(v)     in the event of any other termination of the Participant’s employment (including a termination by the Company for Cause), all of the Options (whether or not vested at the time of termination) shall, without any action on the part of any Person, immediately expire and be canceled without payment therefor.
Except as provided in Section 4(a) hereof or in the case of automatic vesting in connection with such termination event, upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason, all Options which

Page 3 of 3

 


have not theretofore vested shall, without any action on the part of any Person, immediately expire and be canceled without any payment therefor.
(b)    Exercise. Subject to the Company’s Policy on Insider Trading, and Sections 4(d), 4(f), and 8 hereof, the Participant may exercise any or all of the Options, to the extent vested and not forfeited. The date of exercise of an Option shall be the date on which the conditions provided in Sections 4(d), 4(f), and 8 hereof are satisfied.
(c)    Payment. At the time of any exercise, the Participant shall pay to the Company the Option Price of the shares as to which this Option is being exercised by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the Option Price and the number of shares purchased, together with any amounts required to be withheld for tax purposes under Section 17(c) of the Plan. Such consideration must be paid before the Company will issue the shares being purchased and must be in a form or a combination of forms acceptable to the Compensation Committee for that purchase, which forms may (but are not required to) include (i) cash; (ii) check or wire transfer; (iii) tendering (either actually or by attestation) shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant, provided that the shares have been held for the minimum period required by applicable accounting rules to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes or were not acquired from the Company as compensation; (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Cashless Exercise; or (v) such other consideration as the Compensation Committee may permit in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any Participant may, at any time, exercise any Vested Option (or portion thereof) owned by him pursuant to a Cashless Exercise.
(d)    Stockholder Rights. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options until the Participant has made payment pursuant to Section 4(d) and a certificate or certificates evidencing such shares shall have been issued to the Participant, and no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in respect of any share for which the record date is prior to the date upon which the Participant shall become the holder of record thereof.
(e)    Limitation of Exercise. The Options shall not be exercisable unless the offer and sale of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto have been registered under the 1933 Act and qualified under applicable state “blue sky” laws, or the Company has determined that an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act and from qualification under such state “blue sky” laws is available.
(f)    Delivery of Shares. As soon as practicable following the exercise of any Options, the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with such exercise shall be issued by the Company’s transfer agent, in the name of the Participant by (a) paper certificate delivered to the Participant, or (b) electronic delivery to the Company’s representative broker.

Page 4 of 4

 


(g)    Dividends and Distributions. Any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company received by the Participant as a result of a stock dividend or other distribution in respect of Option Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Option Shares, and all references to Option Shares hereunder shall be deemed to include such shares of Common Stock or other securities.
(h)    Special Exercise Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or in this Agreement, if the Participant is employed or resides in China or Italy, then the Participant shall only exercise the Options granted hereunder using the “Cashless Exercise” method as defined in the Plan and shall not have the right to use any other method otherwise permitted under this Agreement.
5.    Noncompetition. The Participant agrees with the Company that, for so long as the Participant is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and continuing for twelve (12) months (or such longer period as may be provided in an employment or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or as provided in the last sentence of this Section 5) following a termination of such employment, the Participant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, and whether as principal or investor or as an employee, officer, director, manager, partner, consultant, agent, or otherwise, alone or in association with any other person, firm, corporation, or other business organization, engage or otherwise become involved in a Competing Business in the Americas, Europe, Middle East or Asia or in any other geographic area throughout the world (a) in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any of the activities that comprise a Competing Business during the Participant’s employment, or (b) in which the Participant has knowledge of the Company’s plans to engage in any of the activities that comprise a Competing Business (including, without limitation, in any area in which any customer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be located); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 5 shall apply solely to those activities of a Competing Business, with which the Participant was personally involved or for which the Participant was responsible while employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) month period preceding termination of the Participant’s employment. This Section 5 will not be violated, however, by the Participant’s investment of up to US$100,000 in the aggregate in one or more publicly-traded companies that engage in a Competing Business. The restrictions of this Section 5 shall also apply during the period after Retirement until vested Options become exercisable described in Section 4(a).
6.    Wrongful Solicitation. As a separate and independent covenant, the Participant agrees with the Company that, for as long as the Participant is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and continuing for twelve (12) months (or such longer period as may be provided in an employment or similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or as provided in the last sentence of this Section 6) following a termination of such employment, the Participant shall not

Page 5 of 5

 


engage in any Wrongful Solicitation. The restrictions of this Section 6 shall also apply during the period after Retirement until vested Options become exercisable described in Section 4(a).
7.    Confidentiality; Specific Performance.
(a)    The Participant agrees with the Company that the Participant shall not at any time, except in performance of the Participant’s obligations to the Company hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, reveal to any person, entity, or other organization (other than the Company, or its employees, officers, directors, stockholders, or agents) or use for the Participant’s own benefit any information deemed to be confidential by the Company or any of its Affiliates (“Confidential Information”) relating to the assets, liabilities, employees, goodwill, business, or affairs of the Company or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, any information concerning past, present, or prospective customers, manufacturing processes, marketing, operating, or financial data, or other confidential information used by, or useful to, the Company or any of its Affiliates and known (whether or not known with the knowledge and permission of the Company or any of its Affiliates and whether or not at any time prior to the Date of Grant developed, devised, or otherwise created in whole or in part by the efforts of the Participant) to the Participant by reason of the Participant’s employment with, equity holdings in, or other association with the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will retain all copies and extracts of any written Confidential Information acquired or developed by the Participant during any such employment, equity holding, or association in trust for the sole benefit of the Company, its Affiliates, and their successors and assigns. The Participant further agrees that the Participant will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, remove or take from the Company’s or any of its Affiliate’s premises (or if previously removed or taken, the Participant will promptly return) any written Confidential Information or any copies or extracts thereof. Upon the request and at the expense of the Company, the Participant shall promptly make all disclosures, execute all instruments and papers, and perform all acts reasonably necessary to vest and confirm in the Company and its Affiliates, fully and completely, all rights created or contemplated by this Section 7. The term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by, or at the direction of, the Participant.
(b)    The Participant agrees that upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason, the Participant will return to the Company immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way evidencing (in whole or in part) Confidential Information relating to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. The

Page 6 of 6

 


Participant further agrees that the Participant will not retain or use for the Participant’s account at any time any trade names, trademark, or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
(c)    The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 7, or Section 5 or 6 above, would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Participant agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond (or other security other than any mandatory minimum or nominal bond or security), shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.
1.    Taxes. This Section 8 applies only to (a) those Participants who are U.S. employees, and (b) those Participants who are employed by a Subsidiary of the Company that is obligated under applicable local law to withhold taxes with respect to the vesting or exercise of the Options. The Company or a designated Subsidiary of the Company shall have the right, prior to the delivery of any certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, to require the Participant to remit to the Company or such Subsidiary any amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable (federal, foreign, state, or local) tax withholding requirements. Prior to the Company’s or the designated Subsidiary’s determination of such withholding liability, the Participant may make an irrevocable election to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit taxes by directing the Company or such Subsidiary to withhold shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be received by the Participant (up to the maximum amount of tax permitted to be withheld that will not result in adverse financial accounting consequences to the Company). Such election may be denied by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, or may be made subject to certain conditions specified by the Compensation Committee. The Company or its designated Subsidiary shall also have the right to deduct from all cash payments made pursuant to or in connection with any Award any applicable federal, foreign, state, or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments.
2.    No Obligation to Register. The Company shall be under no obligation to register any Option Shares as a result of the exercise of the Options pursuant to the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws.
3.    Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act for such period as the Company or its underwriters may request (such period not to exceed 180 days following the date of the applicable offering), the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the

Page 7 of 7

 


purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any of the Options granted under this Agreement or any Option Shares resulting the exercise thereof without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters.
4.    Protections Against Violations of Agreement. No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any of the Options by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, will be valid, and the Company will not transfer any Option Shares resulting from the exercise of Options on its books nor will any of such shares be entitled to vote, nor will any dividends be paid thereon, unless and until there has been full compliance with such provisions to the satisfaction of the Company. The foregoing restrictions are in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies, legal or equitable, available to enforce such provisions.
5.    Survival. This Agreement shall apply to and bind the Participant and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors. All agreements, representations, and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the issuance to the Participant of the Options and any Option Shares and shall continue in full force and effect. The terms of Section 5-8, 12, 13, 15, 17-20, and 22 shall expressly survive the forfeiture of any Options and the termination of this Agreement.
6.    Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Participant, to the Participant’s attention at the mailing address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (or to such other address as the Participant shall have specified to the Company in writing) and, if to the Company, to the Company’s office at 2366 Bernville Road, Reading Pennsylvania, 19605, Attention: General Counsel (or to such other address as the Company shall have specified to the Participant in writing). All such notices shall be conclusively deemed to be received and shall be effective, if sent by hand delivery, upon receipt, or if sent by registered or certified mail, on the fifth day after the day on which such notice is mailed.
7.    Waiver. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this Agreement.
8.    Authority of the Administrator. The Compensation Committee shall have the full authority to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan and this Agreement including, but not limited to, making all determinations regarding eligibility, vesting, forfeiture and the calculation of the number of Options or Option Shares awarded or credited under this Agreement. The determination of the Compensation Committee as to

Page 8 of 8

 


any such matter of interpretation, construction or calculation shall be final, binding and conclusive.
9.    Representations. The Participant has reviewed with his or her own tax advisors the applicable tax (U.S., foreign, state, and local) consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
10.    Investment Representation. The Participant hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the Participant, by reason of the Participant’s business or financial experience (or the business or financial experience of the Participant’s professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Participant’s own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.
1.    Entire Agreement; Language; Governing Law. This Agreement and the Plan and the other related agreements expressly referred to herein set forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement. The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement has been prepared in English and may be translated into one or more other languages. If there is a discrepancy between or among any of these versions, the English version shall prevail. Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, this Agreement may be executed electronically. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, other than its conflicts of laws principles.
2.    Severability; Judicial Reformation. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, or enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon the parties hereto with any such modification (if any) to become a part hereof and treated as though contained in this original Agreement. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity, subject or otherwise so as to be unenforceable, in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision, such provision or provisions shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting or reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear, and such

Page 9 of 9

 


determination by such judicial body shall not affect the enforceability of such provisions or provisions in any other jurisdiction.
3.    Amendments; Construction. The Compensation Committee may amend the terms of this Agreement prospectively or retroactively at any time, but (unless otherwise provided under Section 18 of the Plan) no such amendment shall impair the rights of the Participant hereunder without his or her consent. To the extent the terms of Section 5 conflict with any prior agreement between the parties related to such subject matter, the terms of Section 5, to the extent more restrictive, shall supersede such conflicting terms and control. Headings to Sections of this Agreement are intended for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall have no effect on the interpretation hereof.
4.    Acceptance. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant has read and understand the terms and provision thereof, and accepts the Options subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Compensation Committee upon any questions arising under this Agreement.
5.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    No Rights to Grants or Continued Employment. The Participant acknowledges that the award granted under this Agreement is not employment compensation nor is it an employment right, and is being granted at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Participant shall not have any claim or right to receive grants of Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement, or any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to create or confer on the Participant any right to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof to terminate the employment of the Participant at any time.
(b)    No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred, or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(c)    Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign any or all of its rights and to delegate any or all of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the Company (including any person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Company).

Appendix A
to
Employee Stock Option Agreement
Under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan

This Appendix A contains supplemental terms and conditions for awards of nonqualified stock options (“Options”) granted as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Agreement under the EnerSys 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to Participants who reside outside the United States or who are otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States.
The Participant has also received the Agreement applicable to the Award set forth therein. The Agreement, together with this Appendix A and the Plan are the terms and conditions of the grant of Options set forth in the Agreement. To the extent that this Appendix A amends, deletes or supplements any terms of the Agreement, this Appendix A shall control. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
Section I of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the Options outside of the United States. Section II of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the Options in all countries, excluding France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. Section III of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the Options in France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. Section IV of this Appendix A includes special terms and conditions in the specific countries listed therein.
This Appendix A may also include information regarding exchange controls, taxation of awards and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, tax and other laws concerning Options in effect as of July 30, 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently; the information may be out of date at the time the Participant vests in or exercises the Options or sells shares acquired under the Plan. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant should not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant's participation in the Plan.
In addition, this Appendix A is general in nature, does not discuss all of the various laws, rules and regulations which may apply to the Participant's particular situation and the Company does not assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant's country apply to the Participant's specific situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working, transferred employment after the Award was

Page 13 of 13

 


granted or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner. In addition, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein will apply under these circumstances.
Section I. All Countries Outside the United States

1.    Nature of Grant. In accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that:

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b)the grant of the Options is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(c)all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Company;

(d)the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(e)the Options and the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the Options are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, and which is outside the scope of the Participant's employment contract, if any;

(f)the Options and the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the Options are not intended to replace any pension rights, if any, or compensation;

(g)the Options and the underlying shares of Common Stock subject to the Options, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate;

(h)the grant of the Options and the Participant's participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate;

(i)the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(j)if the Participant obtains shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Participant's Options, the value of those shares acquired may increase or decrease in value;
(k)in consideration of the grant of the Options, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Options resulting from termination of the Participant's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Participant irrevocably release the Company and the Subsidiaries and Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, the Participant will be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant's entitlement to pursue such claim;

(l)in the event of termination of the Participant's employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant's right to vest in the Options under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Compensation Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Participant's Award;

(m)the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan, or the Participant's acquisition or sale of Common Stock;

(n)the Participant is hereby advised to consult with the Participant's personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan;

(o)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Options and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Options or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; and

(p)neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor any Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Options or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Options or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired upon exercise.

ii.The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant of the Options, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to, and are under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.
iii.Further, if the Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
iv.The Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued or cash distributed upon exercise of the Options; (2) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; (3) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Options either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization).
v.To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Participant shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Options, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
vi.The Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to

issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if the Participant fails to comply with this obligation.
3.
Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different), the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or sell shares of Common Stock or rights to shares of Common Stock (e.g., Options) under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” (as defined by the laws in the applicable country). The insider trading and/or market abuse laws may be different from any Company Insider Trading Policy. The Participant personally is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult with the Participant’s personal legal advisor for additional information about any applicable restrictions and the Participant’s obligations.
4.
Foreign Asset/Account and Exchange Control Reporting. The Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different) may have certain exchange controls and foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect the Participant’s ability to purchase or hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan or receive cash from the Participant’s participation in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of shares of Common Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Further, the Participant may be required to repatriate the shares of Common Stock or proceeds acquired as a result of participating in the Plan to the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different) through a designated bank/broker and/or within a certain time. The Participant personally is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable reporting obligations and should consult with the Participant’s personal legal advisor for additional information about such obligations.
Section II. All Countries excluding France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom

Data Privacy Consent.
I hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of my personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award grant materials by and among, as applicable, the employer, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan (“Data”).
I understand that the Company and the employer may hold certain personal information about me, including, but not limited to, my name, home address and

Page 17 of 17

 


telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in my favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
I understand that Data will be transferred to a third party plan administrator, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. I understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than my country. I understand that if I reside outside the United States, I may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting my local human resources representative. I authorize the Company, the third party administrator and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing my participation in the Plan. I understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage my participation in the Plan. I understand that if I reside outside the United States, I may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing my local human resources representative. Further, I understand that I am providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If I do not consent, or if I later seek to revoke my consent, my employment status or service and career with the employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing my consent is that the Company would not be able to grant me the Award or other awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, I understand that refusing or withdrawing my consent may affect my ability to participate in the Plan.
I understand that I will consult my local human resources representative, Privacy Champion, Data Protection Officer (if applicable), or the Legal Department, if I have any questions or comments concerning the processing of my data.
Section III. France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom

Data Privacy Notice.
You are hereby notified of the collection, use and transfer outside of the European Economic Area, as described in this Agreement, in electronic or other form, of your Personal Data (defined below) by and among, as applicable, the Company and certain of its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates for the purpose of performing and satisfying its contractual obligations under the Agreement and for the necessary, exclusive and

legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that the Company and the Employer hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Personal Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
You understand that providing the Company with this Personal Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that your refusal to provide the Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. Your Personal Data shall be accessible within the Company only by the persons specifically charged with Personal Data processing operations and by the persons that need to access the Personal Data because of their duties and position in relation to the performance of this Agreement.
The Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You may, at any time and without cost, contact Solium Capital LLC, 60 E. Rio Salado Parkway, Suite 510, Tempe AZ 85281 to enforce your rights under the data protection laws in your country, which may include the right to (i) request access to or copies of Personal Data subject to processing; (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data; (iii) request deletion of Personal Data; (iv) request restriction on processing of Personal Data; (v) request portability of Personal Data; (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country; and/or (vii) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data.
The Company provides appropriate safeguards for protecting Personal Data that it receives in the U.S. through its adherence to data transfer agreements (which include model contractual clauses) entered into between the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates within the European Union.
Further, you are hereby notified that the Company and certain of its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of your participation in the Plan. When transferring Personal Data to these recipients, the Company and its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates, as applicable, will provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with the data transfer agreements entered into between these parties.

selected by the Company, which are assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Personal Data with such other provider(s) serving in a similar manner. Solium Capital LLC is based in the United States. Your country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. Nonetheless, your Personal Data will be transferred to Solium Capital LLC for the exclusive purpose of administering your participation in the Plan.

Finally, you may choose to opt out of allowing the Company to share your Personal Data with Solium Capital LLC and others as described above, although execution of such choice may mean the Company cannot grant awards under the Plan to you.

China
Options Settled Only in Cash. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, any exercised Options shall be settled solely by means of a cash payment made directly to the Participant by the Affiliate in China that employs the Participant. The grant of Options does not provide any right for the Participant to receive shares of Common Stock.
France
Nature of Options. The Options are not granted under the French specific regime provided by Articles L. 225-177 to L. 225-186-1 of the French commercial code.
English Language Consent.

compliance with any applicable reporting obligations and should consult with the Participant’s personal legal advisor for additional information about such obligations.
Germany
Exchange Control Information. Cross-border payments in connection with the purchase or sale of securities in excess of EUR 12,500 must be reported monthly by accessing the electronic General Statistics Reporting Portal (Allgemeines Meldeportal Statistik) via the Bundesbank’s website (www.bundesbank.de). The Participant personally is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable reporting obligations and should consult with the Participant’s personal legal advisor for additional information about such obligations.
Italy
Options Exercisable by Cashless Exercise Only. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the Participant may exercise the Options only by means of a full Cashless Exercise, such that the Participant will deliver a properly executed notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker in a form acceptable to the Company providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Options pursuant to a program or procedure approved by the Company. The cash proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock, less the Option Price, any Tax-Related Items that are required to be withheld and broker’s fees or commissions, will be paid to the Participant. The Company reserves the right to eliminate the required use of the Cashless Exercise form of payment, in its sole discretion, and allow the Participant to use another form of payment permitted under Section 4(d) of the Agreement.
Plan Document Acknowledgment. In accepting the grant of Options, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant has received a copy of the Plan, has reviewed the Plan and the Agreement in their entirety, and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Agreement.

Appendix A, Section III (Data Privacy Notice)
Singapore
Sale Restriction. The Participant expressly agrees that any shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of the Options will not be offered for sale or sold in Singapore prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless such sale or offer in is made after pursuant to the exemption under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than Section 280) of the SFA (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) or pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provision(s) of the SFA.
Securities Law Information. The grant of Options is being made in reliance on Section 273(1)(f) of the SFA, under which it is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements under the SFA and is not made to the Participant with a view to the shares of Common Stock being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Chief Executive Officer and Director Notification Obligation. If the Participant is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) or a director, alternate director, substitute director or shadow director of the Company’s Singapore Subsidiary or Affiliate, the Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Company’s Singapore Subsidiary or Affiliate in writing when the Participant receives an interest (e.g., Options or shares of Common Stock) in the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. This notification must be made (a) within two (2) business days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or becoming the CEO or a director, associate director or shadow director, whichever occurs last, and (b) upon any change in a previously disclosed interest (e.g., sale of shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting and settlement of the Options).
Switzerland
Securities Law Information. The offer of the Options is considered a private offering in Switzerland and therefore is not subject to securities registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Options (a) constitutes a prospectus as such term is understood pursuant to article 652a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, (b) may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland or (c) has been or will be filed with, approved, or supervised by any Swiss regulatory authority (in particular, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)).

United Kingdom
Tax Withholding. The following provision supplements Section I (Payment of Taxes) of this Appendix A:
The Participant expressly agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company, the Employer and/or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HRMC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Participant’s behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act) and the indemnification of the Company and the Employer is viewed as a loan, the Participant will be ineligible for such a loan to cover income tax. In the event that the Participant is a director or executive officer and income taxes are not collected from or paid by the Participant within ninety (90) days after the end of the tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax obligation arose, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant will be responsible for reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer (as applicable) for any employee NICs due on this additional benefit which may be recovered from the Participant by the Company or the Employer at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to herein.
