This excerpt taken from the HPQ 10-Q filed Jun 8, 2007. XII. PAYMENT OF STOCK OR CASH AWARDS
A. No employee shall have the right to receive payment of any Stock or Cash Award until notified of the amount of such award, in writing, by the Committee or its authorized delegate.
B. Payment of Cash Awards shall be made in a lump sum or in annual installments over such period as the Committee may designate, which period shall not exceed five years, provided that the Committee may from time to time designate minimum installment amounts.
C. After an award of Common Stock subject to restrictions (“Restricted Stock”), such shares will be deposited in certificate or book entry form in escrow with the Company’s
7
Secretary. The employee shall retain all rights in the Restricted Stock while it is held in escrow including but not limited to voting rights and the right to receive dividends, except that the employee shall not have the right to transfer or assign such shares until all restrictions pertaining to such shares are terminated, at which time the applicable stock certificates shall be released from escrow and delivered to the employee by the Company’s Secretary.
D. The Committee may permit, on such terms as it deems appropriate, use of Restricted Stock as partial or full payment upon exercise of a stock option under the Company’s incentive stock option or compensation plans or this Plan. In the event shares of Restricted Stock are so tendered as consideration for the exercise of an option, a number of the shares issued upon the exercise of said option, equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used as consideration therefor, shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock so submitted plus any additional restrictions that may be imposed by the Committee.
