Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

(Directors)

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of %%OPTION DATE, ‘Month DD, YYYY”%-% (the “Grant Date”), by and between Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and %%FIRST_NAME%-%         %%LAST_NAME%-%         (%%LAST_NAME%-%).

WHEREAS, %%LAST_NAME%-% is expected to perform valuable services for the Company as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the Company considers it desirable and in its best interests that %%LAST_NAME%-% be given a proprietary interest in the Company and an incentive to advance the interests of the Company by possessing units that are settled in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:

 

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

 

  (a) Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to %%LAST_NAME%-% an award of          restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Unit Award”), which shall vest and become unrestricted in accordance with Sections 2 and 4 hereof.

 

  (b) Transferability. Restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award and not then vested and unrestricted may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, alienate, hypothecate or encumber, or otherwise dispose of such restricted stock units, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall immediately become null and void.

 

2. Vesting.

 

  (a)

Time Vesting. Subject to Sections 2(b), 2(c) and 4, the restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall vest and become unrestricted in accordance with the following schedule: Vesting shall occur in twelve (12) equal monthly installments, commencing on the last day of the month in which the Grant Date occurs and ending on the last day of the month which is eleven (11) months following the month in which the Grant Date occurs; provided, however, that if the Company’s 2012 annual meeting of stockholders occurs prior to the time that all restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award are vested, the restricted stock units which are unvested on the date of such annual


meeting of stockholders shall immediately vest and become unrestricted on the date of such annual meeting of stockholders. Upon such vesting the shares of Common Stock underlying the vested restricted stock units shall not be issued, but the issuance of such shares instead shall be deferred in accordance with Section 2(c).

 

  (b) Accelerated Vesting. If %%LAST_NAME%-% continues to be a director of the Company from the date of this Agreement until the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), the portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award which has not become vested and unrestricted under Section 2(a) at the date of such event shall immediately vest and become unrestricted with respect to 100% of the restricted stock units subject to this Restricted Stock Unit Award simultaneously with the consummation of the Change of Control and upon such vesting the shares of Common Stock underlying the vested restricted stock units shall be issued to %%LAST_NAME%-%.

 

  (c) Deferral of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b), upon the date restricted stock units subject to this Agreement become vested and unrestricted, the shares of Common Stock underlying the restricted stock units shall not be issued, but the issuance of such shares shall instead be deferred until the Distribution Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Distribution Date” means the date which is the earliest of (i) the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, unless %%LAST_NAME%-% filed an election with the Company in accordance with the Company’s policies and applicable law to have the issuance of such shares deferred until %%LAST_NAME%-% ceases to be a director of the Company even if such cessation occurs later than the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, (ii) five (5) business days following the date on which %%LAST_NAME%-% ceases to be a director of the Company and (iii) the date of consummation of a Change of Control. On the Distribution Date, one share of Common Stock shall be issuable for each vested restricted stock unit, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement and the Company will issue such shares of Common Stock to %%LAST_NAME%-%.

 

 

3.

No Rights as Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents. %%LAST_NAME%-% shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock underlying the restricted stock units subject to this Agreement (including the right to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to shares of Common Stock), unless and until, and only to the extent, the Restricted Stock Unit Award is settled by the issuance of such shares of Common Stock to %%LAST_NAME%-% on the Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as such shares of Common Stock are issued, or the restricted stock units subject to this Agreement are cancelled, whichever occurs first, %%LAST_NAME%-% will be credited with amounts equal to any cash dividends that would be payable to %%LAST_NAME%-% if such underlying shares of Common Stock had been issued to %%LAST_NAME%-%, which amounts shall accrue until the Distribution Date and be paid in cash on the Distribution Date. If restricted stock units subject to this Agreement are cancelled, any amounts credited to such units will be forfeited. This Section 3 will

  not apply with respect to record dates for dividends occurring prior to the Grant Date or after the Distribution Date.

 

4. Termination of Unvested Restricted Stock Unit Award. If %%LAST_NAME%-%‘s service as a director of the Company terminates by reason of the death or disability of %%LAST_NAME%-%, the portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award which is not vested and unrestricted as of the date of termination shall immediately vest and become unrestricted. If %%LAST_NAME%-%‘s service as a director of the Company terminates for any other reason, the portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award which is not vested and unrestricted as of the date of termination shall be forfeited by %%LAST_NAME%-%, such portion shall be cancelled by the Company and %%LAST_NAME%-% shall promptly return this Agreement to the Company for cancellation and agrees to execute any document required by the Company in connection with such forfeiture. Such cancellation shall be effective regardless of whether %%LAST_NAME%-% returns this Agreement.

 

5. Adjustment in Event of Happening of Condition.

In the event that there is any change in the number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company without new consideration to the Company (such as by stock dividends or stock split-ups), then the number of restricted stock units subject to this Restricted Stock Unit Award that are unvested or vested and deferred shall be adjusted in proportion to such change in issued shares.

If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined, or be changed into another kind of stock of the Company or into equity securities of another corporation, whether through recapitalization, reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, etc., the Company shall cause adequate provision to be made whereby the restricted stock units subject to this Agreement that are unvested or vested and deferred shall be adjusted equitably so that the securities received upon distribution shall be the same as if the distribution had occurred immediately prior to such recapitalization, reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, etc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a sale of the Company through a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets where all or part of the consideration is stock, cash or other securities or property (where such event is not a Change of Control as defined in Section 2(b) above) (a “Transaction”), the restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award, whether unvested or vested and deferred, shall be assumed or an award of equivalent value shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Restricted Stock Unit Award, then simultaneously with the consummation of the Transaction, %%LAST_NAME%-% shall fully vest in the Restricted Stock Unit Award and all restricted stock units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall become unrestricted. For the purposes of this Section 5, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Transaction, the Restricted Stock Unit Award confers the right to receive, for each restricted stock unit subject to the Restricted Stock

Unit Award which immediately prior to the Transaction is unvested or vested and deferred, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Transaction by holders of Common Stock held on the effective date of the Transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Transaction is not solely common stock of the successor company, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor company, provide that the consideration to be received upon the distribution of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, for each share of Common Stock subject thereto, will be solely common stock of the successor company substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of shares of Common Stock in the Transaction. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.

 

6. Provisions of Plan. This Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference). In the event a provision of this Agreement conflicts with the Plan, the terms of the Plan will prevail. %%LAST_NAME%-% acknowledges receiving a copy of the Plan and this Agreement. Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.

 

7. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and shall be interpreted and construed consistently with such intent. In the event the terms of this Agreement would subject %%LAST_NAME%-% to taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code (“409A Penalties”), the Company and %%LAST_NAME%-% shall cooperate diligently to amend the terms of this Agreement to avoid such 409A Penalties, to the extent possible; provided that in no event shall the Company be responsible for any 409A Penalties that arise in connection with any amounts payable under this Agreement. To the extent any amounts under this Agreement are payable by reference to %%LAST_NAME%-%‘s “ceasing to be a director of the Company,” such term shall be deemed to refer to %%LAST_NAME%-%‘s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if %%LAST_NAME%-% is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, as of the date of %%LAST_NAME%-%‘s separation from service, then to the extent any amount payable to %%LAST_NAME%-% (i) is payable upon %%LAST_NAME%-%‘s separation from service and (ii) under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of %%LAST_NAME%-%‘s separation from service, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (a) the six-month anniversary of the separation from service and (b) the date of %%LAST_NAME%-%‘s death.

 

8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
