McGrath (the “Purchaser”), having his residence at 2 Colonial Court, Medford, NJ 08055.

 

 

(a) Issuance. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted Stock Agreement, the Company agrees to issue One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares to the Purchaser. The issuance shall occur at the offices of the Company as  of the Effective Date set forth above.

 

(b) Consideration.  The Purchaser agrees to pay to the Company the sum of $0.01 (the “Per Share Purchase Price”) for each of such Shares, representing the par value thereof. Payment shall be made on the issuance date by delivery to the Company of the Purchaser's check in the amount of the aggregate purchase price.

 

(c) Defined Terms. Certain capitalized terms are defined in Sections 2 and 3 of this Restricted Stock Agreement. 

 

(a) Scope of Repurchase Right. Until they vest in accordance with Section (b) below, the Purchased Shares shall be Restricted Shares and shall be subject to the Right of Repurchase. The Company may exercise its Right of Repurchase only during the Repurchase Period following the termination of the Purchaser's Service.

 

(b) Lapse of Repurchase Right.

 

(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b)(ii), the Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to every 10% portion of the Restricted Shares, (being 10,000 shares) in each of the first through the tenth years from the Effective Date, each such year being a vesting year ending on the respective anniversary date of the Effective Date.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 2(b)(i), the Restricted Shares may vest, and the Right of Repurchase may lapse, sooner under Sections 6(c)(6) and 10(a) of the Purchaser’s Employment Agreement with the Company.

(c) Escrow. Upon issuance, the certificate(s) for Purchased Shares shall be deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Restricted Stock Agreement. Any additional or exchanged securities or other property described in Section 2(f) below shall be delivered to the Company to be held in escrow. All ordinary cash dividends on Purchased Shares (or on other securities held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Purchaser and shall not be held in escrow. Purchased Shares, together with any other assets held in escrow under this Restricted Stock Agreement, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase upon exercise of the Right of Repurchase or (ii) released to the Purchaser upon his or her request to the extent that the Purchased Shares have ceased to be Restricted Shares (but not more frequently than once every six months). In any event, all Purchased Shares that have ceased to be Restricted Shares, together with any other vested assets held in escrow under this Restricted Stock Agreement, shall be released within 90 days after the termination of the Purchaser's Service.

 

(d) Exercise of Repurchase Right. The Company shall be deemed to have exercised its Right of Repurchase automatically for all Restricted Shares as of the commencement of the Repurchase Period, unless the Company during the Repurchase Period notifies the holder of the Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 9 that it will not exercise its Right of Repurchase for some or all of the Restricted Shares. During the Repurchase Period, the Company shall pay to the holder of the Restricted Shares the purchase price determined under Section 2(a) above for the Restricted Shares being repurchased ($0.01 per Share, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate transactions). Payment shall be made in cash or cash equivalents and/or by canceling indebtedness to the Company incurred by the Purchaser. The certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares being repurchased shall be delivered to the Company (if not already held by the Company).

(e) Termination of Rights as Stockholder. If the Right of Repurchase is exercised in accordance with this Section 2 and the Company makes available the consideration for the Restricted Shares being repurchased, then the person from whom the Restricted Shares are repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of the Restricted Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration). Such Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have been repurchased pursuant to this Section 2 whether or not the certificate(s) for such Restricted Shares have been delivered to the Company or the consideration for such Restricted Shares has been accepted.

 

(f) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity (other than a Change in Control Event), any other corporate reorganization (other than a Change in Control Event), a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Restricted Shares shall continue to be subject to the Right of Repurchase. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Shares and to all of the provisions of this Section 2, including the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase, provided that the aggregate purchase price payable for the Restricted Shares shall remain the same. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization that does not constitute a Change in Control Event, the Right of Repurchase may be exercised by the Company's successor.

 

(g) Transfer of Restricted Shares. The Purchaser shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Shares without the Company's written consent (which consent may be withheld with or without any reason therefor), except as provided in the following sentence. The Purchaser may transfer Restricted Shares to one or more members of the Purchaser's Immediate Family or to a trust or partnership established by the Purchaser for the benefit of the Purchaser and/or one or more members of the Purchaser's Immediate Family, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Restricted Stock Agreement. If the Purchaser transfers any Restricted Shares, then this Restricted Stock Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Purchaser.

 

(h) Assignment of Repurchase Right. The Board of Directors may freely assign the Company's Right of Repurchase, in whole or in part. Any person who accepts an assignment of the Right of Repurchase from the Company shall assume all of the Company's rights and obligations under this Section 2.

 

(i) Part-Time Employment and Leaves of Absence. If the Purchaser commences working on a part-time basis, then the Company may adjust the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2(b) above in accordance with the Company's part-time work policy or the terms of an agreement between the Purchaser and the Company pertaining to his or her part-time schedule. If the Purchaser goes on a leave of absence, then the Company may adjust the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2(b) above in accordance with the Company's leave of absence policy or the terms of such leave. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Service shall be deemed to continue while the Purchaser is on a  bona fide  leave of absence, if (i) such leave was approved by the Company in writing and (ii) continued crediting of Service is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company).
