A. The Company has adopted the Plan to enhance the ability of the Company to attract and retain the services of qualified employees and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company.

 

B.  The Company and Employee desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth their understanding with respect to the issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Employee pursuant to the Plan.

 

 

Now, Therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Award of Shares.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on this date (“Grant Date”) the Company awards to Employee _____________ (______________) shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Restricted Stock”).

 

2. Terms and Conditions.  The award of Restricted Stock hereunder is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

2.1 Non-Transferability.  Shares of Restricted Stock (or any right or interest in Restricted Stock) may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the Applicable Vesting Date (as defined in Section 2.2 below). Any sale, transfer, pledge or assignment, or any purported sale, transfer, pledge or assignment, of any Restricted Stock, or any right or interest therein, in violation of this Section 2.1 shall be null and void.

 

2.2 Period of Restriction.  Subject to earlier lapse of restrictions or forfeiture as hereinafter provided, 25% of the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall become nonrestricted and nonforfeitable on each anniversary of the Grant Date (“Applicable Vesting Date”) as shown below; provided, however, that Employee continues to serve as an Employee of the Company on such Applicable Vesting Date. The period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date is referred to herein as the “Full Restriction Period.”

 

Total % of Restricted Shares Vested	Applicable Vesting Date (% Vesting)
25%	First Anniversary of Grant Date (25%)
50%	Second Anniversary of Grant Date (25%)
75%	Third Anniversary of Grant Date (25%)
100%	Fourth Anniversary of Grant Date (25%)

 

2.3 Earlier Lapse of Restriction Period.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2, the restrictions shall lapse with respect to all shares of Restricted Stock, and all such shares shall become vested and nonforfeitable, immediately upon a Change in Control and immediately upon the death of Employee, provided that Employee has continued to serve as an Employee of the Company on such date of Change in Control or death.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2, in the event of the Disability of the Employee prior to the expiration of the Full Restriction Period, the restrictions shall lapse and such shares shall become vested and nonforfeitable on a pro rata basis, in an amount equal to:  (a) the total number of shares of  Restricted Stock granted to Employee under this Agreement; multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months the Employee is employed by the Company during the Full Restriction Period, and the denominator of which is 48 months.  The remaining shares of Restricted Stock held by the Employee with a Disability shall be forfeited by the Employee. The Committee shall have the discretion to review and revise the restrictions applicable to the Employee’s Restricted Stock in the event of the Retirement of the Employee.

 

2.4 Forfeiture and Recoupment.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited by Employee in the event that Employee’s service as an employee of the Company terminates prior to the Applicable Vesting Date for such Restricted Stock.  All shares of Restricted Stock forfeited by Employee shall be canceled (without any payment to Employee) and Employee shall have no further rights with respect thereto. Restricted Stock shall be subject to recoupment by the Company to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations.

 

2.5 Certificates.  Restricted Stock shall be registered on the Company’s stock transfer books in the name of Employee in book entry, electronic form or in certificated form.  The Employee shall deliver a stock power endorsed in blank to the Company with respect to all shares of Restricted Stock. If issued in certificated form, physical possession of the stock certificate (together with a stock power endorsed in blank by Employee) shall be retained by the Company until such time as the Restriction Period lapses.  If issued in uncertificated form, the Company shall retain the stock power endorsed in blank by Employee and the restrictions on the Restricted Stock shall be noted in the Company’s stock transfer books.  Upon any forfeiture of Restricted Stock, the Company shall have the right to cancel the Restricted Stock in accordance with this Agreement without any further action by Employee.  Restricted Stock issued in book entry or electronic form shall be subject to the following notation, and any certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock shall bear the following legend:

 

“The sale or other transfer of the shares represented by this Certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan, and in the related Restricted Stock Agreement.  A copy of the Plan and such Restricted Stock Agreement may be obtained from the Secretary of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.”

 

2.6 Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions.  During the Full Restriction Period, Employee may exercise full voting rights, and shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Restricted Stock.  If any dividends or distributions are paid in the form of Common Stock, such Common Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.  Employee agrees to deliver to the Company any certificates representing stock or other securities which Employee may receive during the Full Restriction Period with respect to unvested Restricted Stock (together with a stock power endorsed in blank by Employee).

 

2.7 Adjustments in Authorized Shares and Outstanding Common Stock.  In the event of any change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock, including a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, spin-off, separation, liquidation, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, extraordinary dividend, share repurchase, share combination, exchange of securities, dividend in kind or any similar corporate event or transaction, the Committee shall substitute or adjust the number and class of shares subject to this Agreement in such a manner as the Committee, in its discretion, determines to be appropriate and equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Employee and to preserve, without exceeding, the value of the grant hereunder; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to this Agreement shall be a whole number.

 

3. Tax Provisions.  If Employee timely elects, under section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of l986, as amended, to include the fair market value of Restricted Stock on the date hereof in Employee’s gross income for the current taxable year, Employee agrees to give prompt notice to the Company.  Employee shall remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes (including the Employee’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock.  The Company shall have the right to retain and withhold the amount of taxes (if any) required by any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to Restricted Stock.  If the Company has a withholding obligation with respect to the Restricted Stock, Employee may satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold shares of Restricted Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date the withholding tax is to be determined equal to the amount required to be withheld under applicable law.

 

4. Entire Agreement; Incorporation of Plan.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and contains all of the agreements between such parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement is and shall be, in all respects, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.  If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with a provision of the Plan, the Plan provision shall control.
