RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT
Restricted Shares/ Nontransferability | This grant is an award of Shares in the number of Shares set forth on the cover sheet, at the Purchase Price set forth on the cover sheet, and subject to the vesting conditions described below (Restricted Shares). The purchase price for the Restricted Shares is deemed paid by your services to the Company. To the extent not yet vested, your Restricted Shares may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted Shares be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. | |
Issuance and Vesting | The Company will issue your Restricted Shares in your name as of the Grant Date. Your right to the Shares under this Restricted Share Agreement grant vests as to the total number of Shares covered by this grant, as shown on the cover sheet, on the first anniversary of the Grant Date (an Anniversary Date), provided you then continue in Service. If, however, you are restricted from selling Shares on the Anniversary Date pursuant to the Companys policy on insider trading, your Shares that would have vested on that vesting date will vest on the first date that is during a window period in which Company insiders are not restricted from selling Shares. Your right to the Shares under this Restricted Share Agreement will become fully vested on your termination of Services due to death or disability. No additional Shares will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason. | |
Forfeiture of Unvested Shares | In the event that your Service terminates for any reason other than death or disability, you will forfeit to the Company all of the Shares subject to this grant that have not yet vested. | |
Escrow | The certificates for the Restricted Shares shall be deposited in escrow with the Secretary of the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. Each deposited certificate shall be accompanied by a duly executed Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The deposited certificates shall remain in escrow until such time or times as the certificates are to be released or otherwise surrendered for cancellation as discussed below. Upon delivery of the certificates to the Company, you shall be issued an instrument of deposit acknowledging the number of Shares delivered in escrow to |
2
the Secretary of the Company. All regular cash dividends on the Shares (or other securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to you and shall not be held in escrow. However, in the event of any dividend, split, recapitalization or other change affecting the Companys outstanding Shares as a class effected without receipt of consideration or in the event of a split, a dividend or a similar change in the Shares, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to the Shares shall be immediately delivered to the Secretary of the Company to be held in escrow hereunder, but only to the extent the Shares are at the time subject to the escrow requirements hereof. As your interest in the Shares vests, as described above, the certificates for such vested Shares shall be released from escrow and delivered to you, at your request, within 30 days of their vesting. | ||
Withholding Taxes | You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the vesting of Shares acquired under this grant. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the vesting of Shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate. | |
Section 83(b) Election | Under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), the difference between the purchase price paid for the Shares and their fair market value on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such Shares lapse will be reportable as ordinary income at that time. For this purpose, forfeiture restrictions include the forfeiture of unvested Shares that is described above. You may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are acquired, rather than when such Shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions, by filing an election under Code Section 83(b) with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the Grant Date. You will have to make a tax payment to the extent the Purchase Price is less than the fair market value of the Shares on the Grant Date. No tax payment will have to be made to the extent the Purchase Price is at least equal to the fair market value of the shares on the Grant Date. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit B hereto. Failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period will result in the recognition |
3
of ordinary income by you (in the event the fair market value of the shares as of the vesting date exceeds the purchase price) as the forfeiture restrictions lapse. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANYS, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON YOUR BEHALF. YOU ARE RELYING SOLELY ON YOUR OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE ANY CODE SECTION 83(b) ELECTION. | ||
Retention Rights | This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or any parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity. The Company (and any parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserves the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason. | |
Shareholder Rights | You have the right to vote the Restricted Shares and to receive any dividends declared or paid on such Shares. Any distributions you receive as a result of any split, dividend, combination of Shares or other similar transaction shall be deemed to be a part of the Restricted Shares and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto. Except as described in the Plan, no adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your share certificate is issued. | |
Adjustments | In the event of a split, a dividend or a similar change in the Shares, the number of Shares covered by this grant may be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) pursuant to the Plan. Your Restricted Shares shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity. | |
Legends | All certificates representing the Shares issued in connection with this grant shall, where applicable, have endorsed thereon the following legends: THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR HIS OR HER PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST.
