Summary
This agreement is between Moldflow Corporation and an executive officer, granting the officer restricted shares of company stock under the 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The shares are subject to vesting conditions, meaning the officer must remain employed for a set period before gaining full ownership. If employment ends due to death, disability, or certain other reasons, some or all restrictions may lapse; otherwise, unvested shares are forfeited. The officer receives dividends and voting rights while holding the restricted shares, but cannot sell or transfer them until they vest.
