RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into on the date of the Grant Letter, by and between BATS Global Markets, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and the individual listed in the Grant Letter as the Participant.

 

WHEREAS, the Participant has been granted the Award under the Plan;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows.

 

1.                                      Award of Shares.  Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, the Participant is hereby awarded the number of Shares of Restricted Stock set forth in the Grant Letter, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and those herein set forth.  The Award is granted as of the date set forth in the Grant Letter.  Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control.

 

2.                                      Terms and Conditions.  It is understood and agreed that the Award evidenced hereby is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)                                 Vesting of Award.  The Award shall vest as set forth in the Grant Letter.  All dividends and other amounts receivable in connection with any adjustments to the Shares under Section 5(c) of the Plan shall be subject to the vesting schedule set forth herein and shall be paid to the Participant upon any vesting of the Award set forth hereunder in respect of which such dividends or other amounts are payable.

 

(b)                                 Termination of Service; Forfeiture of Unvested Shares.  In the event of Termination of Service of the Participant prior to the date on which the Award otherwise becomes vested, the unvested portion of the Award shall immediately be forfeited by the Participant and become the property of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service other than by the Company for Cause, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of the Award or waive any term or condition of this Agreement, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, with respect to all or a portion of the Award.

 

(c)                                  Change in Control.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the Award (or a substitute award) remains outstanding and the Participant incurs a Termination of Service without Cause or for Good Reason, the Award shall become immediately vested in full and all restrictions shall lapse upon such Termination of Service.  “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

 

A-1



 

(d)                                 Call Right.  For a period of ninety (90) days, or such longer period (not to exceed six (6) months) as may reasonably be required by the Company to obtain a valuation of its Shares, following the Termination of Service of the Participant, the Company may elect to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares acquired by the Participant under this Agreement by providing written notice to the Participant specifying the number of such Shares to be repurchased, the repurchase date and the repurchase price.  The repurchase price for such Shares shall be the Fair Market Value as determined on the date of such termination.

 

(e)                                  Evidence of Award.  The Company shall record the Award on its books and records, in a manner generally consistent with its procedures for recording stock ownership, which may include book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates.  In the event that any stock certificate is issued in respect of the Award, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Award.

 

(f)                                   Investor Rights Agreement.  In consideration of, and as a condition to, the grant of the Restricted Stock Award, the Participant must execute and deliver to the Company an instrument or instruments substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto confirming that the Participant has agreed to be bound as a Stockholder by the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement.

 

(g)                                  Rights of a Stockholder.  Prior to the time the Award is fully vested hereunder, the Participant shall have the rights of a Stockholder as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement and any rights provided under Delaware law and pursuant to the governing instruments of the Company, including, but not limited to, the right to vote and to receive dividends (subject to Section 2(a) hereof) paid on the Shares.

 

(h)                                 No Right to Continued Employment.  This Award shall not confer upon the Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or any Affiliate nor shall this Award interfere with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time.

 

(i)                                     No Right to Future Awards.  The Participant acknowledges that the Award is a one-time extraordinary award and does not constitute a promise of future grants.  The Company, in its sole discretion, maintains the right to make, or not to make, additional grants of Shares under the Plan.

 

3.                                      Transfer of Shares.  Any vested Shares delivered hereunder, or any interest therein, may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, or transferred or disposed of in any other manner, in whole or in part, only in compliance with the terms, conditions and restrictions as set forth in the governing instruments of the Company, the provisions of this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, applicable federal and state securities laws or any other applicable laws or regulations and the terms and conditions hereof.

4.                                      Withholding.  No later than the date of vesting of (or, as set forth below, the date of an election by the Participant under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to) the Award granted hereunder, the Participant shall pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld at such time with respect to such Award.  The Company shall be authorized to withhold from the Award any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant (subject to applicable law) the amount (in cash, Shares, other property or any combination thereof) of applicable withholding taxes due in respect of the Award and to take such other action (including providing for elective payment of such amounts in cash or Shares by the Participant) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

 

5.                                      Section 83(b) Election.  The Participant may elect to be taxed on the Grant Date with respect to Restricted Stock rather than when such restrictions lapse by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code in a form similar to that set forth in Exhibit C hereto with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the Grant Date.

 

THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS HIS OR HER SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE PARTICIPANT’S BEHALF.  THE PARTICIPANT IS RELYING SOLELY ON HIS OR HER OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE ANY 83(b) ELECTION.

 

6.                                      Not Salary, Pensionable Earnings or Base Pay.  The Participant acknowledges that the Award shall not be included in or deemed to be a part of (a) salary, normal salary or other ordinary compensation, (b) any definition of pensionable or other earnings (however defined) for the purpose of calculating any benefits payable to or on behalf of the Participant under any pension, retirement, termination or dismissal indemnity, severance benefit, retirement indemnity or other benefit arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate or (c) any calculation of base pay or regular pay for any purpose.

 

7.                                      Forfeiture Upon Breach of Certain Other Agreements.  The Participant’s breach of any noncompete, nondisclosure, nonsolicitation, assignment of inventions, or other intellectual property agreement that the Participant may be a party to with the Company or any Affiliate, in addition to whatever other equitable relief or monetary damages that the Company or any Affiliate may be entitled to, shall result in automatic rescission, forfeiture, cancellation, and return of any Shares (whether or not otherwise vested) held by the Participant.

 

8.                                      Investment Representations of Participant.  The Participant hereby represents and warrants that (a) any Shares acquired under this Agreement will be for the Participant’s own account and not with a view to, or for sale or other disposition in connection with, any distribution thereof and (b) the Participant has been provided with a copy of the Plan and any Shares the Participant receives will be received with full knowledge of and subject to the restrictions
