THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD (this Award) dated as of the Grant Date is entered into by and between Dorman Products, Inc. (the Company) and Participant.
1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Effective as of the Grant Date, pursuant to the Dorman Products, Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), the Company hereby grants to Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth on the Acceptance Page (the RSUs), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award and the Plan. [This Award is in consideration for Participants acceptance of and agreement to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 of this Award.]
2. Dividend Equivalents.
(a) The RSUs are granted with dividend equivalent rights. If the Company declares a cash dividend on the Shares, an amount equivalent to such dividend will be credited to an unfunded bookkeeping account with respect to each outstanding and unvested RSU (the Dividend Equivalent Amount) on the record date of such dividend.
(b) The Dividend Equivalent Amount will be credited as cash, without interest, and will not be converted to Shares. The Dividend Equivalent Amount will be payable in cash, but only upon the applicable vesting date(s) of the underlying RSUs as determined in accordance with Section 3 below, and will be cancelled and forfeited if the underlying RSUs are cancelled or forfeited as determined in accordance with Section 3 below.
3. Vesting of RSUs.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) and (c), the RSUs shall vest [25% on each annual anniversary of the Grant Date beginning on the first anniversary of the Grant Date] (each a Vesting Date), provided that Participant remains employed by or providing service to the Company on such Vesting Date. The vesting of the RSUs shall be cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the RSUs. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional RSUs, the number of RSUs that vest shall be rounded down to the nearest whole RSU and the fractional RSU will be accumulated so that the resulting whole RSU will be included in the number of RSUs that become vested on the last Vesting Date.
