Section 1.  Grant of Restricted Stock Award.

 

(a)

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement and the Employment Agreement, the Company hereby grants Restricted Stock to the Participant on the Grant Date on the terms set forth on the cover page of this Agreement, as more fully described in this Attachment A.  This Award is granted under the Plan, which is incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Agreement, and your Employment Agreement.

Section 2.  Issuance of Shares.

 

(a)

The Restricted Shares shall be evidenced by book-entry registration; provided, however, that the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (hereinafter “Committee”) may determine that the Restricted Shares shall be evidenced in such other manner as it deems appropriate, including the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates.  In the event that any stock certificate is issued in respect of the Restricted Shares, such certificate shall (i) be registered in the name of the Participant, (ii) bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares and (iii) be held in custody by the Company.  

 

(b)

Voting Rights.  The Participant shall have voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares.

 

(c)

Dividends.  All cash and other dividends and distributions, if any, that are paid with respect to any Restricted Shares shall be withheld by the Company and paid to the Participant, without interest, only when, and if, the Restricted Shares become vested in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(d)

Transferability.  Unless and until the Restricted Shares become vested in accordance with this Agreement, the Restricted Shares shall not be assigned, sold, transferred or otherwise be subject to alienation by the Participant.  

 

(e)

Section 83(b) Election.  If the Participant chooses, the Participant may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the  Restricted Shares, which would cause the Participant currently to recognize income for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the Restricted Shares (determined as of the Grant Date) over the amount, if any, that the Participant paid for the Restricted Shares, which excess will be subject to U.S. federal income tax.  The form for making a Section 83(b) election is attached as Attachment B.  The Participant acknowledges that (i) the Participant is solely responsible for the decision whether or not to make a Section 83(b) election, and the Company is not making any recommendation with respect thereto, (ii) it is his or her sole responsibility to timely file the Section 83(b) election within 30 days after the Grant Date, if the Participant decides to make such election, and (iii) if the Participant does not make a valid and timely Section 83(b) election, the Participant will be required to recognize ordinary income at the time of vesting on any future appreciation on the Restricted Shares.

 

(f)

Withholding Requirements.  The Company may withhold any tax (or other governmental obligation) that becomes due with respect to the Restricted Shares (or any dividend or distribution thereon), and the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable the Company to satisfy all such withholding requirements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit, in its sole discretion, the Participant to satisfy (at the Participant’s election) any such withholding requirement by transferring to the Company pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may require, effective as of the date on which a withholding obligation arises, a number of vested Shares owned and designated by the Participant having an aggregate fair market value as of such date that is equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld and/or cash in such amount.  If the Committee permits the Participant to satisfy (at the Participant’s election) any such withholding requirement pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall remit to the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state and local revenue agencies, for the credit of the Participant, an amount of cash withholding equal to the fair market value of the Shares and/or cash transferred to the Company as provided above.  Unless the Participant satisfies his or her obligations to the Company as set forth above in an amount that is sufficient for the Company to satisfy any tax (or other governmental obligation) that becomes due with respect to the Restricted Shares (or any dividend or distribution thereon), the Restricted Shares shall be automatically sold through the Company’s stock plan administrator in an amount sufficient to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations; provided, however, that such Restricted Shares shall not be automatically sold if (i) the Participant engaged in a non-exempt opposite-way transaction in the prior six months that could result in profit disgorgement by the Participant to the Company under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (ii) the sale would cause the Participant to violate the Company’s insider trading policy.

Section 3.  Vesting of Restricted Shares.

 

(a)

Termination of Service.

 

(i)

Death or Disability or Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason.  In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service at any time due to the Participant’s death or Disability or termination of employment by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, (x) to the extent still applicable, the Service Condition shall be deemed to be satisfied as of the date of such Termination of Service and (y)(1) if the Value Condition is satisfied on or prior to the date of such Termination of Service, the Restricted Shares shall fully vest as of the date of such Termination of Service and (2) if the Value Condition is not satisfied on or prior to the date of such Termination of Service, the Restricted Shares shall vest when and only if the Value Condition is satisfied.

 

(ii)

Any Other Termination of Service.  In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service at any time prior to the Service Vesting Date for any reason (other than due to the Participant’s death or Disability or termination by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason), the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited in their entirety as of the date of such termination without any payment to the Participant, except that the Participant shall retain and shall fully vest in one thousand (1,000) Restricted Shares when and only if the Value Condition is satisfied.

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 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 Restricted Shares.  

 

(b)

Change in Control.  If not previously satisfied, the Value Condition will be deemed satisfied upon a Change in Control.  Upon a Change in Control “double-trigger event” (as such term is defined in Section 12(b) of the Plan), the Restricted Shares shall fully vest as of the date of such Change in Control “double-trigger event”.

 

(c)

Effect of Vesting.  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon the vesting of Restricted Shares, the restrictions under this Award with respect to such Shares shall lapse, and subject to any applicable Lock Up Agreement or requirement to comply with non-competition covenants, such Shares shall be fully assignable, saleable and transferable by the Participant, and the Company shall deliver such Shares, along with any dividends and other distributions that were paid with respect to such Shares but withheld pending vesting, to the Participant.  Subject to any applicable Lock Up Agreement or requirement to comply with non-competition covenants, such Shares shall be delivered by transfer to the Depository Trust Company for the benefit of the Participant or by delivery of a stock certificate registered in the Participant’s name.

 

(d)

Effect of Breaching Restrictive Covenants.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time while the Award remains outstanding, the Participant breaches the Restrictive Covenants (as defined in Section 4(a) of this Agreement), the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited in their entirety, except for those Restricted Shares not subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Employment Agreement.

Section 4. Incorporation of Restrictive Covenants Set Forth in Employment Agreement

 

(a)

Incorporation by Reference. Company and Employee agree that the restrictive covenants set forth in Articles 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 (“Restrictive Covenants”) and Section 4.04 of the Employment Agreement by and between the Company and Employee, dated [Date], are incorporated by reference herein as if they were part of this Agreement and set forth in it.

 

(b)

Agreement is Ancillary to the Employment Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is ancillary to the Employment Agreement.

 

(c)

Covenants are Reasonable and Related to the Company’s Business Interests. The Parties agree that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable under the circumstances, necessary to protect the Company’s business interests, goodwill, confidential information, and other business assets the Restrictive Covenants are intended to protect, and that any breach of such Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury and harm to the Company.  Employee understands that the Restrictive Covenants may limit Employee’s ability to engage in certain businesses anywhere in the United States and outside of the United States during the Non-Compete Period, as defined in the Employment Agreement and whose definition is incorporated by reference herein, but acknowledges that Employee will receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits from the Company to justify such restrictions, and that Employee knowingly and voluntarily chooses to accept such limitations.  Further, Employee acknowledges that his skills are such that he can be gainfully employed in non-competitive employment, and that the Restrictive Covenants will not prevent Employee from earning a living.  Nevertheless, in the event the terms of Section 4 or the Restrictive Covenants shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area, or by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, they will be

4


 

 

interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which they may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which they may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which they may be enforceable, all as determined by such court or arbitrator in such action. 

 

(d)

Consideration is Reasonably Related to Interests Worthy of Protection. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Employee has had access to, and shall continue to have access to, the Company’s non-public, confidential, and proprietary information, as access to such information is essential to the performance of Employee’s duties for the Company. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee t is not otherwise entitled to the granting of the shares set forth in this Agreement, and that these shares provide Employee an interest in the Company that Employee would not otherwise have but for his agreement to the Restrictive Covenants. Employee also agrees that the shares are good and valuable consideration, which are intended to, and do, protect the Company’s interests, and are reasonably related to the same. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Company has expended many resources, including time and money, in developing its confidential and proprietary information and goodwill, and that the consideration and promises made herein, and in the Employment Agreement, are reasonably related to the protection of those interests, and also Employee’s and the Company’s interest in the short and long-term growth of the Company and in Employee’s continued development and growth. Employee and the Company acknowledge and agree that said interests provide the Company a competitive advantage in the market place and that those interests are worthy of protection.  Employee acknowledges that but for Employee’s agreement to the Restrictive Covenants, Employee would not continue to receive access to the Company’s non-public, confidential, and proprietary information, or be granted the shares, as set forth in this Agreement.

 

(e)

Reasonableness of Time, Scope, and Geography.  Employee hereby represents to the Company that he has read and understands, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of the Restrictive Covenants and Section 4.  Employee acknowledges that the geographic scope and duration of the Restrictive Covenants are the result of arm’s-length bargaining and are fair and reasonable in light of i) the nature and wide geographic scope of the Company’s operations of, and in, the business, as defined in the Employment Agreement and whose definition is incorporated by reference herein, ii) Employee’s level of control over and contact with the Company’s operations of, and in, the Business in all locales in which it is conducted, iii) the geographic breadth in which the Company conducts the Business, and iv) the amount of consideration (including confidential information and trade secrets) that Employee is receiving from the Company. In consideration of the Company’s promises herein, during the Non-Compete Period, Employee promises to disclose to the Company any employment, consulting, or other service relationship that Employee enters into after the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason.  Such disclosure shall be made within seven business days after Employee enters into such employment, consulting or other service relationship.  Employee expressly consents to and authorizes the Company to disclose both the existence and terms of this Agreement to any future employer or recipient of Employee’s services and to take any steps the Company deems necessary to enforce this Agreement.

 

(f)

Injunctive Relief.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the Restrictive Covenants will cause irreparable damage to the Company and its Affiliates, as defined in the Employment Agreement and whose definition is incorporated by reference herein, and their goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate.  Accordingly, Employee agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to equitable and injunctive relief. Employee and the Company agree that while any dispute or controversy arising under, or in connection with, the Employment Agreement, including a breach of the Restrictive Covenants, shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before an arbitrator in Houston, Texas in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, the Company shall be entitled to seek a restraining order, injunction, or other equitable relief, and expedited discovery necessary for the proceedings to obtain said equitable or injunctive relief, in order to prevent or cease any violation or continuation of any violation of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants.  Employee consents that such restraining order or injunction may be granted without requiring the Company to post a bond larger than $500. Employee also agrees that waiver shall not be a defense to the Company’s invocation of the Employment Agreement’s arbitration clause subsequent to any proceeding to obtain the equitable or injunctive relief described under Section 4 and in the Employment Agreement. Further, for purposes of obtaining said equitable or injunctive relief, Employee consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any Texas State court or United States Court located in Harris County, Texas.

 

(g)

Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, Venue for Suits to Enforce Restrictive Covenants. The Restrictive Covenants and only Section 4 of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.  With respect to any claim or dispute related to or arising under, or in relation to, the Restrictive Covenants and Section 4, including, but not limited to, suits seeking equitable and injunctive relief described in the Employment Agreement, Employee and the Company hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the state and federal courts located in Harris County, Texas.
