Exhibit 10.2
GENPACT LIMITED
2017 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
THIS PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of ____________ (the “Award Date”), is made by and between Genpact Limited, an exempted limited company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”) and ____________ (“Participant”). To the extent not defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Genpact Limited 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan for the purpose of promoting the interests of the Company and its shareholders by attracting and retaining exceptional directors, officers, employees and consultants and enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company.
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant to Participant a performance share award under the Plan as provided for herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:
1.Grant of Performance Shares Award. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date, a performance share award (the “Award”) under the Plan entitling Participant to receive a number of Shares based on the extent, if any, to which the applicable vesting criteria are satisfied. The initial number of Shares that shall be used to determine Participant’s rights pursuant to this Award is ___________ (the “Target Performance Shares”). The number of Target Performance Shares shall be used solely to calculate the number of Shares that may be issued to Participant under this Agreement. The number of Target Performance Shares shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. The number of Shares issuable under the Award may be subject to reduction as set forth in Section 3.
2.Vesting Requirements.
(a)Vesting Requirements. The Shares subject to the Award shall initially be unvested and shall vest only in accordance with the performance and/or service vesting provisions of this Section 2 or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Section 4.
(b)Performance Vesting. Except as provided herein, the number of Shares to which Participant may become entitled under this Agreement shall be calculated as set forth in Section 3 and Appendix A, subject to Participant’s completion of the applicable service vesting
1
provisions set forth below. In no event may the number of Shares to which Participant is entitled exceed two hundred forty percent (240%) of the Target Performance Shares.
(c)Service Vesting. The actual number of Shares in which Participant shall vest shall be determined as follows:
(i)If Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate from the Award Date through _____________ (the “Service Period”), Participant shall vest, at the end of the Service Period, in the number of Shares determined under Appendix A.
(ii)If Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates ceases by reason of Participant’s death or Disability prior to the completion of the Service Period, Participant shall vest as of such termination in a number of Shares determined by multiplying (A) the Target Performance Shares by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months of Participant’s employment or service in the Performance Period prior to Participant’s termination (rounded up to the closest whole month, but not to exceed thirty-six (36)) and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36).
(iii)If Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates ceases by reason of Participant’s Retirement prior to completion of the Service Period, Participant shall vest at the end of the Service Period in a number of Shares determined by multiplying: (A) the number of Shares to which Participant would have been entitled had Participant remained in employment or service with the Company or Affiliate through the end of the Service Period by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months that Participant was employed or in service during the Performance Period prior to Participant’s termination (rounded up to the closest whole month, but not to exceed thirty-six (36)) and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36). For purposes of this Award, Retirement shall mean Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates, other than for Cause, if Participant (i) is, at the time of such termination, age 60 or over and (ii) has completed at least 10 years of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate at the time of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change of Control during the Service Period, Section 4(a)(iii) shall apply instead of this subsection (iii).
(iv) Should Participant cease continued employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates for any other reason prior to the end of the Service Period, the Award shall be immediately canceled and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under the Award.
(v) For purposes of this Agreement, Participant’s date of termination of employment shall mean the date on which Participant ceases active employment, and shall not be extended by any notice period, whether mandated or implied under local law during which Participant is not actually employed or providing services (e.g., garden leave or similar leave) or during or for which Participant receives pay in lieu of notice or severance pay. To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, the Award shall not vest during any notice period, regardless of whether Participant continues active employment during such period, and the Award shall be canceled on the date notice of termination is provided by Participant or the Company (or an Affiliate). The Company shall have the sole discretion to determine when Participant is no
2
longer actively employed for purposes of this Agreement without reference to any other agreement, written or oral, including Participant’s contract of employment, if applicable.
3.Performance Goals.
(a)Committee Determination. Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine whether and the extent to which the Performance Goals have been achieved and shall determine the number of Shares, if any, issuable to Participant with respect to the level of achievement of the Performance Goals based on completion of the service vesting requirement. The Committee’s determinations with respect to the achievement of the Performance Goals shall be based on the Company’s audited financial statements, subject to any adjustments made by the Committee in accordance with Section 3(b) below.
(b)Committee Discretion to Reduce or Eliminate Award. Notwithstanding satisfaction, achievement or completion of the Performance Goals (or any adjustments thereto as provided below), the number of Shares issuable hereunder may be reduced or eliminated by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine.
(c)Modification of Performance Goals. The Committee shall have the right to adjust or modify the calculation of the Performance Goals as permitted under the Plan.
4.Change of Control. In the event a Change of Control occurs while this Award is outstanding, then all the Shares subject to this Award shall be converted into the right to receive for each such Share the same consideration per Common Share payable to the other holders of such Common Shares in consummation of the Change of Control. In such an event, the number of Shares issuable under this Award and the date of issuance of the Shares shall be determined as set forth in this Section 4, notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary. Following a Change of Control, Participant shall not have any right to receive any Shares under this Award in excess of the number of Shares determined under this Section 4.
(a)Number of Shares.
(i)In the event the Change of Control occurs prior to completion of the Performance Period and Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through the effective date of that Change of Control, then this Award shall be converted into a right to receive a number of Shares equal to the Target Performance Shares, subject to the Service requirements set forth in subsection (ii) below. In the event the Change of Control occurs after the completion of the Performance Period and before the end of the Service Period, and Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through the effective date of that Change of Control, then this Award shall be converted into a right to receive a number of Shares determined in accordance with Sections 2(b) and 3, subject to the Service requirements set forth in subsection (ii) below.
(ii)If this Award is assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the Change of Control in accordance with the Plan, then provided Participant remains in continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through the completion of the Service Period, Participant shall be entitled to the Shares issuable under Section 4(a)(i) or
3
other consideration payable in connection with the Change of Control, which shall be issued after the end of the Service Period, as set forth in Section 5(a). If Participant’s continued employment or service terminates prior to completion of the Service Period, then except as otherwise provided in Sections 4(a)(iii) and (iv), the Award shall be immediately canceled upon such termination and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares or other consideration under the Award.
(iii)If this Award is assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the Change of Control in accordance with the Plan, and Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates subsequently during the Service Period by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, Participant shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares determined by multiplying (A) the number of Shares to which Participant would be entitled in accordance with Section 4(a)(i) had Participant’s employment or service not terminated by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of service in the Performance Period prior to the termination (rounded up to the closest whole month, but not to exceed thirty-six (36)) and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36). Such Shares (or other consideration issuable under this Award) shall be issued immediately upon such termination or as soon as practicable thereafter, but not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the year of such termination, provided that, in the case of such a termination due to Retirement, if Participant’s Retirement is not within twenty-four (24) months following a Change of Control, or if otherwise required under Section 409A of the Code, such Shares (or other consideration issuable under this Award) shall be issued at the earliest time as permitted under Section 409A of the Code.
(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of Participant’s Involuntary Termination (other than due to death, Disability or Retirement) that occurs during the Service Period and within twenty-four (24) months following a Change of Control in connection with which this Award is assumed, continued or substituted, Participant shall immediately vest in the Shares (as determined in accordance with Section 4(a)(i) above) or other consideration payable in connection with such assumption, continuation or substitution issuable under this Award and such Shares or other consideration shall be issued immediately upon such Involuntary Termination or as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) business days after such Involuntary Termination.
(v) If this Award is not assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the Change of Control in accordance with the Plan, then the Shares issuable under this Award (as determined pursuant to Section 4(a)(i)) or other consideration payable with respect to such Shares in connection with the Change of Control shall be issued on the effective date of the Change of Control or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) business days after such effective date.
(b)Applicable Taxes. Each issuance of Shares shall be subject to the Company’s collection of any Applicable Taxes, as set forth in Section 5(b).
(c)Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:
4
(i) “Involuntary Termination” shall mean the termination of Participant’s continued employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates which occurs by reason of such individual’s involuntary dismissal or discharge by the Company (or Affiliate) for reasons other than Cause.
(ii) “Cause” shall mean “Cause” as defined in any employment or consulting agreement between Participant and the Company or an Affiliate in effect at the time of termination or, in the absence of such an employment or consulting agreement: (A) any conviction by a court of, or entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere by Participant with respect to, a felony or any lesser crime involving moral turpitude or a material element of which is fraud or dishonesty; (B) Participant’s willful dishonesty of a substantial nature towards the Company and any of its Affiliates; (C) Participant’s use of alcohol or drugs which materially interferes with the performance of his duties to the Company and/or its Affiliates or which materially compromises the integrity and reputation of Participant or the Company and/or its Affiliates; or (D) Participant’s material, knowing and intentional failure to comply with material applicable laws with respect to the execution of the Company’s and its Affiliates’ business operations.
5.Issuance of Shares; Applicable Taxes.
(a)Except as otherwise provided under Section 4, the Company shall issue the Shares to which Participant becomes entitled as soon as practicable following completion of the Service Period but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the end of the Service Period, subject to the Company’s collection of any Applicable Taxes; provided, however, that any Shares to which Participant becomes entitled under Section 2(c)(ii) shall be issued no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the year of Participant’s termination.
(b)Any Applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to the issuance of the Shares under this Agreement shall be paid through an automatic Share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, at the time of such issuance, a portion of the Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of those taxes; provided, however, that the amount of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, require that such Applicable Taxes be paid through Participant’s delivery of his or her separate check payable to the Company in the amount of such taxes.
(c)In no event will any fractional shares be issued.
(d)The holder of this Award shall not have any shareholder rights, including voting or dividend rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance after the satisfaction of the Applicable Taxes.
6.Restrictive Covenants and Forfeiture.
5
(a)In consideration for the grant of the Award, Participant agrees to comply with the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 6(d) below (the “Restrictive Covenants”).
(b)Participant acknowledges and agrees that any breach by Participant of the Restrictive Covenants will result in irreparable injury to the Company or its Affiliates, as the case may be, for which money damages could not adequately compensate such entity. Therefore, the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have the right (in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have at law or in equity and in addition to the forfeiture requirements set forth in Section 6(c) below) to, as permitted by applicable law, seek to enforce this Section 6 and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company or any of its Affiliates may have for a breach, or threatened breach, of the Restrictive Covenants. Participant agrees that in any action in which the Company or any of its Affiliates seeks injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, Participant will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of this Section 6 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. Participant consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal and state courts located in New York City and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any such court. Participant also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices, or other papers.
(c)Participant acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event Participant breaches the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Section 6:
(i)The Company shall have the right to terminate this Award (and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under this Award) to the extent outstanding, and
(ii)The Company may in its discretion cancel any Shares issued pursuant to this Award that vested within twelve (12) months of Participant’s breach of the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Section 6; provided, that if Participant has disposed of any such Shares received hereunder, then the Company may require Participant to pay to the Company, in cash, the fair market value of such Shares as of the date of disposition.
(d)Based on the understanding that Participant will be given access to valuable clients and confidential and proprietary information, Participant agrees that while an employee of the Company (or an Affiliate) and for a period of one (1) year from cessation of employment, Participant will not directly or indirectly:
(i)enter, engage in, participate in, or assist, either as an individual on his or her own or as a partner, joint venturer, employee, agent, consultant, officer, trustee, director, owner, part-owner, shareholder, or in any other capacity, in the primary country(ies) in which Participant performed services, directly or indirectly, any other business organization whose activities or products are competitive with any Company activity, product or service that Participant engaged in, participated in, or had confidential information about during Participant’s last 12 months of employment with the Company; provided that if Participant is subject to separate non-competition restrictive covenants in an employment agreement or offer letter with the Company, then the non-competition covenants in this subsection (i) shall not apply to
6
Participant, and the non-competition covenants set forth in Participant’s employment agreement or offer letter will continue to apply to Participant;
(ii)either alone or in association with others, solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to divert or take away, the business or patronage of any of the actual or prospective clients, customers, accounts or business partners of the Company (or any Affiliate) with whom Participant had direct interaction with during Participant’s employment with the Company (or any Affiliate); and
(iii)on Participant’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, recruit or attempt to persuade any person to terminate such person’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate, whether or not such person is a full-time employee or whether or not such employment is pursuant to a written agreement or is at-will.
(e)In the event of Participant’s breach or anticipatory breach of this Section 6, or Participant’s claim in a declaratory judgment action that all or part of the covenants contained in this Section 6 are unenforceable, Participant and the Company agree that in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Company under law, the Company shall be entitled to recover from Participant all reasonable sums and costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company to defend or enforce this Section 6.
(f)The restrictive periods set forth in this Section 6 shall not expire and shall be tolled during any period in which Participant is in violation of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6, and therefore such restrictive periods shall be extended for a period equal to the duration(s) of Participant’s violation.
Recognizing that the limitations in this Agreement permit Participant to continue Participant’s chosen career in the same geographic area without any interruption while protecting the Company’s legitimate business interests in its client and employee relationships, Participant agrees that the above restrictions are reasonable including the short length of time, the limitation as to identified clients and employees, and the specific area of business in which competition is limited as to those clients. Participant agrees that these limitations are reasonable given the highly competitive nature of the Company’s business and are required for the Company’s protection based upon numerous factors including the knowledge and information to which Participant will have access during Participant’s employment with the Company. Participant’s agreement to observe the restrictions set forth in this agreement is material consideration for Participant’s employment with the Company as well as eligibility to receive grants in the Plan. Participant represents that his/her experience and capabilities are such that the restrictions contained in Section 6 above will not prevent Participant from obtaining employment or otherwise earning a living at the same general level of economic benefit as earned with the Company. Participant further agrees that, should a court determine that any provision, term or condition set forth in this Section 6 is invalid, the court may alter or modify any such provision, term or condition in a manner so as to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests. For the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants in this Section 6 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, and do not amend, modify, or supersede, any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or similar restrictive covenants that run in favor of the Company or its Affiliates and by which Participant is bound.
7
Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Participant from making passive investments of not more than one percent (1%) of a class of securities of any business enterprise registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
7.Limited Transferability. Prior to actual receipt of the Shares which vest and become issuable hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares. Any Shares which vest hereunder but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance or to Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of this Award. Participant may make such a beneficiary designation at any time by filing the appropriate form with the Committee or its designee.
8.Clawback. The Company shall have the right to terminate this Award (and Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under this Award) to the extent outstanding and to cancel any Shares issued hereunder in the event of any of the following:
(i)If a Participant resident in the United States or India has breached any restrictive covenant (whether non-solicitation, non-competition, non-disparagement or confidentiality) under any agreement between Participant and the Company or an Affiliate during employment or during one (1) year period following termination of Participant’s employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate;
(ii)If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement for any part of the Performance Period due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws which the Committee determines is the result of fraud, negligence, or intentional or gross misconduct by Participant;
(iii)In the circumstances and manner provided in any clawback or compensation recovery policy that may be adopted or implemented by the Company and in effect from time to time on or after the Award Date; and/or
(iv)If the Committee determines that Participant committed an act or omission while an employee or other service provider of the Company (or Affiliate) that was not discovered by the Company (or any Affiliate) until after the termination of Participant’s employment or service that would, if Participant were an active employee or other service provider of the Company (or Affiliate) at the time such act or omission is discovered, be reason for termination of Participant’s employment or service for Cause.
For purposes of this Section 8, clause (i) above shall only apply to Shares that have not yet vested or that vested within twelve (12) months of the date of such breach.
The Company’s rights to cancel the Award and any Shares issued hereunder pursuant to this Section 8 shall be in addition to the Company’s rights under Section 6 of this Agreement.
9.Sections 409A and 457A.
(a)It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the maximum extent permissible, comply with the requirements of the short-term deferral
8
exceptions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and Section 457A of the Code and any guidance with respect to Code Section 457A, including but not limited to Notice 2009-8. Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of this Agreement would otherwise contravene the requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A or of Code Section 457A applicable to such short-term deferral exceptions, then those provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and Code Section 457A and any guidance with respect to Code Section 457A, including but not limited to Notice 2009-8, that apply to such exceptions.
(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent this Award may be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement under Code Section 409A, then Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of Participant’s cessation of continued employment or service shall actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service (as determined under Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations thereunder) or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Code Section 409A, as determined by the Committee in accordance with consistent and uniform standards applied to all other Code Section 409A arrangements of the Company, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). The deferred Shares or other distributable amount shall be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the first day of the month immediately following the date the Company receives proof of Participant’s death.
10.Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares as the Committee may consider appropriate and may require Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares in order to be in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
11.Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and Participant and Participant’s assigns, beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors.

ADDENDUM A TO THE PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS
This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Performance Share Award granted to Participant if Participant works or resides outside the United States.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Plan or the Agreement and have the meanings set forth therein.
1.No Acquired Right. Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, the grant of awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Committee and the Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. All decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.
(b)This Award (and any similar awards the Company may in the future grant to Participant, even if such awards are made repeatedly or regularly, and regardless of their amount), and Shares acquired under the Plan (A) are wholly discretionary and occasional, are not a term or condition of employment and do not form part of a contract of employment, or any other working arrangement, between Participant and the Company or any Affiliate; (B) do not create any contractual entitlement to receive future awards or benefits in lieu thereof; and (C) do not form part of salary or remuneration for purposes of determining pension payments or any other purposes, including without limitation termination indemnities, severance, resignation, payment in lieu of notice, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-term service awards, pension or retirement benefits, welfare benefits or similar payments, except as otherwise required by the applicable law of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the award is subject.
(c)This Award and the Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.
(d)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.
(e)In the event that Participant’s employer is not the Company, the grant of this Award and any similar awards the Company may grant in the future to Participant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company and, furthermore, the grant of this Award and any similar awards the Company may grant in the future to Participant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with Participant’s employer or any Affiliate.
(f)The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or the Shares.
A-1
