Item 1.01               Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 6,
2007, Mentor Corporation (the "Company") entered into an
indemnification agreement (the "Indemnification Agreement") with 2 newly
elected directors, Margaret H. Jordan and Katherine S. Napier.  The form of the
Indemnification Agreement was approved by the Company's Board of Directors for
use with all of the Company's directors and executive officers in November
2006.
The
Indemnification Agreement provides, among other things, that subject to the
procedures set forth in the Indemnification Agreement:  (i) the Company
will indemnify the Indemnitee (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement) to
the fullest extent permitted by law in the event Indemnitee was, is or becomes
a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a
party to or witness or other participant in, a Proceeding (as defined in the
Indemnification Agreement) by reason of (or arising in part out of) an
Indemnifiable Event (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement); (ii) if
requested by Indemnitee, and subject to certain exceptions, the Company will
advance Expenses (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement) to the
Indemnitee; (iii) if there is a Change of Control (as defined in the
Indemnification Agreement), the Company will seek the advice of independent
legal counsel with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the
rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and advances under the
Indemnification Agreement or any provision of the Company's articles of
incorporation or bylaws; (iv) the rights of the Indemnitee under the
Indemnification Agreement are in addition to any other rights the Indemnitee
may have under the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws or the
Minnesota Business Corporations Act or otherwise; and (v) to the extent the
Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors' and
officers' liability insurance, the Indemnitee will be covered to the maximum
extent of the coverage available for any Company director or officer. In
addition, the Indemnification Agreement establishes guidelines as to the
defense and settlement of claims by the parties and the period of limitations.
The foregoing
summary of the Indemnification Agreement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Indemnification Agreement referenced as Exhibit
10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.02               Departure
of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
Officers; Compensation Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 6,
2007, the Board of Directors of the Company increased the size of the Board of
Directors from 7 to 8 members (with 2 vacancies as a result) and appointed
Margaret H. Jordan and Katherine S. Napier as new directors to fill those
vacancies.
Ms. Jordan was appointed as a member of the
Nominating and Governance Committee, and
Ms. Napier was appointed as a member of the Compensation Committee.
Pursuant
to the Company's 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"),
Ms. Jordan and Ms. Napier were each granted 7,500 shares of restricted stock
(the "Restricted Stock") valued at the fair market value of $46.43 per
share, the closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock
Exchange as of March 6, 2007 (the "Award Date").  The Restricted Stock is
subject to the terms of the Plan and an individual Restricted Stock Award
Agreement to be executed by each participant (the "Award Agreement")
as summarized below.
In
accordance with the Award Agreement and subject to its terms, the Restricted
Stock shall vest, and restrictions shall lapse, with respect to one-fifth of
the total number of shares of Restricted Stock on each of the first, second,
third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Award Date.  The vesting
schedule requires continued service through each applicable vesting date as a
condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Restricted Stock.
Any
unvested shares of Restricted Stock or any interest therein, generally may not
be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or
encumbered.  The participant shall be entitled to cash dividends and
voting rights with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock she has been
granted even if such Restricted Stock is unvested.  Any such rights,
however, shall terminate as to any shares of Restricted Stock forfeited to the
Company (as described below).
The
Award Agreement also provides for additional restrictions upon the vesting of
the Restricted Stock (and subject to any applicable laws or regulations and the
Company's insider trading policies), during the 5-year vesting period
("Additional Restrictions").  Specifically, the participant may
only transfer up to 40% of her vested shares of Restricted Stock in the aggregate
to cover tax consequences of such vesting, and such transfer restriction shall
terminate on the earlier of: (a) the fifth anniversary of the Award Date, or
(b) the participant's date of cessation of services.
2
The Company's Board of Directors retains the
right, in its sole discretion to reduce or waive any Additional Restrictions.
If the participant ceases to provide services to
the Company, the participant's unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to
the Company regardless of the reason for the participant's cessation of
services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control Event (as
defined in the Award Agreement) occurs and any unvested shares of Restricted
Stock do not automatically accelerate or become fully vested in connection with
the Change in Control Event, and  if the participant ceases to be a member
of the Board of Directors for any reason within 12 months following the date of
the Change in Control Event, any unvested shares of Restricted Stock not
previously subject to automatic acceleration shall become fully vested as of
the date the participant ceases to be a director.
