Exhibit 10.2

The Gorman-Rupp Company 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan

Restricted Stock Unit Grant Agreement

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective as of February [—], 2022 (the “Grant Date”), is between The Gorman-Rupp Company, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and [____________________________] (the “Grantee”).

1.    Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee the Restricted Stock Units set forth in Appendix A. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one common share of the Company (a “Share”). The Grantee shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units, including the right to vote or receive dividends, until and to the extent payment of the Restricted Stock Units is made under this Agreement.

2.    Subject to the Plan. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Company’s 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), and, unless defined herein or the context requires otherwise, terms used herein as defined terms shall have the same meanings as in the Plan. Except as expressly set forth herein, in the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall control.

3.    Account. The Company shall credit the Restricted Stock Units to a bookkeeping account (the “Account”) maintained by the Company for the Grantee’s benefit. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in Section 12.2 of the Plan, the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account shall be equitably and appropriately adjusted as provided in that Section.

4.    Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall become vested pro rata annually on the anniversary of the Grant Date during each year of the Vesting Period (as defined in Appendix A) (each such date, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Grantee’s continuous employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Division as of each applicable Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement.

Vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in Shares (or, in the discretion of the Committee, in cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof). Settlement and delivery of the applicable number of Shares (or cash equivalent, if applicable) shall be made as soon as practicable following the applicable Vesting Date, but in no event later than two and one-half (212) months after the applicable Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided in Section 5(b) and Section 6.

5.    Termination of Employment

(a)    General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, in the event of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions prior to an applicable Vesting Date for any reason, all of the Restricted Stock Units that were not vested on the date of such termination of employment shall be immediately forfeited.

 


(b)    Death or Disability. In the event of the Grantee’s death or Disability prior to an applicable Vesting Date, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Grantee shall immediately vest in the Restricted Stock Units that were scheduled to vest on the next applicable Vesting Date under Section 4 of this Agreement as if employment had not terminated, subject to a pro rata reduction equal to the result of multiplying (x) the Restricted Stock Units that would have become vested on the next applicable Vesting Date had the Grantee remained in employment by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months of employment since the prior applicable Vesting Date to the date of the Grantee’s death or Disability, and the denominator of which is twelve (12), with settlement and delivery of the applicable number of Shares (or cash equivalent, if applicable) to be made as soon as practicable following the date of the Grantee’s death or Disability, but in no event later than two and one-half (212) months following such date.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean (A) the Grantee’s becoming disabled within the meaning of the long-term disability plan then provided by the Company or a Subsidiary or Division, as applicable, to its employees, (B) physical or mental incapacity that renders the Grantee unable to perform employment services for a period of 180 consecutive days or an aggregate of 180 days in any consecutive 365-day period or (C) as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that to the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, “Disability” shall have the meaning provided pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may require such proof of Disability as the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion deems appropriate.

6.    Change in Control

(a)    Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. In the event of a Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units shall be assumed or substituted for by the successor company on substantially the same terms and conditions (which may include payment in equivalent shares of the common stock of the successor company) as set forth in this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units shall become vested on each applicable Vesting Date in accordance with Section 4, provided that the Grantee is then employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Division. If within twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary or Division without Cause (as defined in Section 6(c)) or by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(d)), all Restricted Stock Units that are unvested as of such termination shall immediately become fully vested.

In the event of a Change in Control, to the extent the successor company does not assume or substitute for the Restricted Stock Units on substantially the same terms and conditions (which may include payment in equivalent shares of the common stock of the successor company) as set forth in this Agreement, all the Restricted Stock Units that are unvested as of the date of such Change in Control shall immediately become fully vested, provided the Grantee is then employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Division as of the date of the consummation of the Change in Control; provided further that, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, such Change in Control is a “Change in Control Event” as described in Section 409A(2)(A)(v) or otherwise under Section 409A of the Code.

(b)    Payment of Restricted Stock Units. Payment of Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to the first sub-paragraph of paragraph (a) of this Section 6 shall be made in Shares (or, if applicable, in equivalent shares of the common stock of the successor company) as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i) the next applicable Vesting Date or (ii) the date of the termination of employment referred to in such paragraph. Payment of Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to the second sub-paragraph of paragraph (a) of this Section 6 shall be made in Shares (or, if applicable, in equivalent shares of the common stock of the successor company), as soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control. In no event shall payment under this Section 6(b) be made later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the applicable date.

(c)    Cause. For purposes of this Section 6, “Cause” shall mean (i) the Grantee’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of the Grantee’s duties to the Company and/or a Subsidiary or Division, as applicable, that has or could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Company and/or a Subsidiary or Division, as applicable; (ii) the Grantee’s willful and continued failure to perform the Grantee’s duties to the Company and/or a Subsidiary or Division, as applicable, or to follow the lawful directives of the Chief Executive Officer or Board of Directors (other than as a result of death or Disability); (iii) the Grantee’s commission of, conviction of, or pleading of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude; or (iv) the Grantee’s performance of any material act of theft, embezzlement, fraud, malfeasance, dishonesty or misappropriation of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s or Division’s property.

(d)     Good Reason. For purposes of this Section 6, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a material reduction of base salary; (ii) a material and adverse change to, or a material reduction of, the Grantee’s duties and responsibilities; or (iii) the relocation of the Grantee’s primary office to any location more than fifty (50) miles from the Grantee’s then current primary office, resulting in a materially longer commute for the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the occurrence of any of the events described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not constitute Good Reason unless (A) the Grantee provides the Company with written notice within 90 days after the initial occurrence of any such event that the Grantee believes constitutes Good Reason, (B) the Company thereafter fails to cure such event within 30 days after receipt of such notice and (C) the Grantee’s date of termination as a result of such event occurs within one year after the expiration of the cure period.

7.     Certain Restrictive Covenants. The Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions operate in a highly sensitive and competitive commercial environment. As part of the Grantee’s service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions, the Grantee has had and will be exposed to highly confidential and sensitive information regarding the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Divisions’ business operations, including corporate strategy, pricing and other market information, know-how, trade secrets, and valuable customer, supplier, distributor, regulatory, advisory and employee relationships. It is critical that the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions take all necessary steps to safeguard its legitimate protectable interests in such information and to prevent any of its competitors or any other persons from obtaining any such information and the Grantee hereby agrees to be bound by the following restrictive covenants:

(m)    Confidentiality.

 

  (iv)

As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all data, information, ideas, concepts, discoveries, trade secrets, inventions (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice), innovations, improvements, know-how, developments, techniques, methods, processes, treatments, drawings, sketches, specifications, designs, plans, patterns, models, plans and strategies, and all other confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets in any form or medium (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form or medium) whether now or hereafter existing, relating to or arising from the past, current or potential business, activities and/or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Divisions, including, without limitation, any such information relating to or concerning finances, sales, marketing, advertising, transition, promotions, pricing, personnel, customers, suppliers, vendors, raw materials partners and/or competitors.

  (vi)

All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Grantee by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Divisions or are produced by the Grantee in connection with the Grantee’s service will be and remain the sole property of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Divisions. The Grantee will return to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Divisions all such materials and property as and when requested by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Divisions. In any event, the Grantee will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Grantee’s service for any reason, and will not retain any copies thereof following such termination.

(n)    Reasonableness of Covenants. In entering into this Agreement, the Grantee gives the Company assurance that the Grantee has carefully read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed under this Section 7. The Grantee agrees that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Divisions, and its and their Confidential Information and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect of subject matter, length of time and geographic area. The Grantee acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions and that the Grantee has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. The Grantee further covenants that the Grantee will not challenge the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 7, and that the Grantee will reimburse the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and Divisions for all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any action to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 7 if either the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Divisions prevails in any such dispute. It is also agreed that each Subsidiary and Division will have the right to enforce all of the Grantee’s obligations to that Subsidiary or Division under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to this Section 7.

(o)    Reformation. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this Section 7 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state.

(p)    Tolling. In the event of any violation of the provisions of this Section 7, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the post-termination restrictions contained in this Section 7 shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the running of the applicable post-termination restriction period shall be tolled during any period of such violation.

 

- 6 -


(q)    Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of the Grantee’s employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

(r)    Equitable Relief and Other Remedies. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Divisions’ remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 7 would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Grantee agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Divisions shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages or the posting of a bond or other security. In the event of a material violation by the Grantee of Section 7 hereof, any value previously delivered to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement shall be immediately repaid to the Company.

8.    Securities Laws/Legend on Certificates. The issuance and delivery of Shares shall comply with all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded. If the Company deems it necessary to ensure that the issuance of Shares under the Plan is not required to be registered under any applicable securities laws, the Grantee shall deliver to the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations, warranties and covenants, as reasonably requested by the Company, which satisfies such requirements. Any certificates representing the Shares shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem reasonably advisable, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

9.    Beneficiary. In the event of the Grantee’s death prior to payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units credited to the Account, payment shall be made to the last beneficiary designated in writing that is received by the Company prior to the Grantee’s death or, if no designated beneficiary survives the Grantee, such payment shall be made to the Grantee’s estate.

10.    Source of Payments. The Grantee’s right to receive payment under this Agreement shall be an unfunded entitlement and shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. The Grantee has only the status of a general unsecured creditor hereunder, and this Agreement constitutes only a promise by the Company to pay the value of the Account on the payment date in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement.

11.    Nontransferability. Except as otherwise permitted under the Plan and/or Section 9 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be assignable or transferable by the Grantee or by the Company (other than to successors of the Company or as a result of a sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets) and no amounts payable under this Agreement, or any rights therein, shall be subject in any manner to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, levy, lien, attachment, garnishment, debt or other charge or disposition of any kind.

 

- 7 -


12.    Withholding.    The Grantee agrees to pay to the Company, or to make satisfactory arrangement with the Company for payment of, any federal, state or local taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld in respect of payment of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from the Grantee’s wages or other remuneration the applicable taxes. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the applicable taxes shall be withheld in kind from the Shares deliverable to the Grantee in payment of the Restricted Stock Units.

13.    Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or by mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid or by delivering via overnight courier using an express delivery service, to the other party.

17.     Agreement Not a Contract. This Agreement (and the grant of Restricted Stock Units) is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the Grantee’s part to continue as an Employee, or of the Company or a Subsidiary or Division to continue the Grantee’s service as an Employee.

18.    Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified except as provided in the Plan or in a written document executed by both parties.

19.    Repayment Obligation. In the event that (i) the Company issues a restatement of financial results to correct a material error and (ii) the Committee determines, in good faith, that the Grantee’s fraud or willful misconduct was a significant contributing factor to the need to issue such restatement and (iii) some or all of the Restricted Stock Units that were granted and/or earned during the two year period prior to such restatement would not have been granted and/or earned, as applicable, based upon the restated financial results, the Grantee shall immediately return to the Company (as applicable) any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, any Shares received under this Agreement and/or the pre-tax income derived from any disposition of any Shares previously received in payment of the Restricted Stock Units that would not have been granted and/or earned based upon the restated financial results (the “Repayment Obligation”). This Repayment Obligation shall be in addition to any compensation recovery policy that is adopted by the Company or is otherwise required by applicable law.

20.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the Grantee’s consent, to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection with this Award. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event this Award constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and the Grantee is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, no distribution or payment of any amount shall be made upon a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A) before a date that is six months following the date of such Grantee’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the date of the Grantee’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Grantee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code, and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time.

21.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall (i) be deemed limited to the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect, and (ii) not affect any other provision of this Agreement or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

22.    Fractional Shares. To the extent there are any fractional Shares owed under this Agreement to the Grantee, such fractional shares shall be cancelled.
