registration statement under the Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable state securities law, or (b) is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. (Legend #1)

In addition, the sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth in the 2014 Incentive Stock Plan of Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation, in the rules and administrative procedures adopted pursuant to such Plan, and in a Restricted Stock Agreement dated <<grant date>>. A copy of the Plan, such rules and procedures, and such Restricted Stock Agreement may be obtained from the Secretary of Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation. (Legend #2)

 

  (c)

Promptly after the end of the applicable Period of Restriction with respect to any of the Award Shares, the Company shall, as applicable, either remove the notations on any of the Award Shares issued in book-entry form as to which the restrictions referenced in Legend #2 have lapsed or deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Award Shares as to which the restrictions have lapsed, without Legend #2.

 

  (d)

The Committee may require, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Participant to deliver to the Company an executed stock power, in blank, with respect to the Award Shares. The Participant, by acceptance of the Award, shall be deemed to appoint, and does so appoint by execution of this Agreement, the Company and each of its authorized representatives as the Participant’s attorney(s) in fact to effect any transfer of forfeited shares (or shares otherwise reacquired or withheld by the Company hereunder) to the Company as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement and to execute such documents as the Company or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer.

4.    Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, the Participant may exercise full voting rights with respect to the Award Shares.

5.    Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, the Participant shall be entitled to receive currently all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Award Shares (other than dividends or distributions which are paid in shares of Stock). If, during the Period of Restriction, any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Stock with respect to the Award Shares, such shares shall be registered in the name of the Participant and, if issued in certificate form, deposited with the Company as provided in Paragraph 3, and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and the same rules for custody as the Award Shares with respect to which they were paid.

6.    Termination of Employment or Service.

 

  (a)

If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries ceases prior to the end of any Period of Restriction due to the Participant’s death or permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code), any remaining Period of Restriction applicable to the Award Shares shall automatically terminate and any unvested Award Shares shall become free of restrictions and freely transferable.

 

  (b)

If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries ceases prior to the end of the Period of Restriction and Paragraph 2(c) or 6(a) does not apply or has not applied, then any Award Shares subject to restrictions at the date of such cessation of employment or service shall be automatically forfeited to the Company, unless the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the Vesting of all or any portion of the Award Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, transfer of employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be considered a termination or cessation of employment.

7.    Investment Representations; Restrictions on Transfer under Securities Laws. The Company may require the Participant, as a condition to receipt of the Award Shares, to give a written representation and undertaking to the Company which is satisfactory in form and scope to counsel for the Company and upon which, in the opinion of such counsel, the Company may reasonably rely, that the Participant will make no transfer of the Award Shares except (a) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable state securities law, or (b) pursuant to a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

8.    Withholding Taxes. The Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, shall have the right to retain and withhold the amount of taxes required by any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to the Award Shares. The Committee may require the Participant or any successor in interest to pay or reimburse the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, for any such taxes required to be withheld by the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, and to withhold any distribution in whole or in part until the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, is so paid or reimbursed. The Participant or any successor in interest is authorized to deliver shares of the Company’s Stock in satisfaction of minimum statutorily required tax withholding obligations (whether or not such shares have been held for more than six months and including previously Vested Award Shares), or to elect to have the Company retain and withhold a number of Vesting Award Shares having a Fair Market Value not less than the amount required to be withheld and cancel any such shares so withheld in order to pay or reimburse the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, for any such taxes. In the event the Participant does not deliver cash or shares or elect to have the Company retain and withhold shares of the Company’s Stock as described in the preceding sentences, the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, shall have the right to withhold from any other cash amounts due to or to become due from the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, to or with respect to the Participant an amount equal to such taxes required to be withheld by the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, to pay or reimburse the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, for any such taxes.

9.    Administration of Plan. The Plan is administered by the Committee appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the Plan, to make rules of general application relating to the Plan, and to amend outstanding awards pursuant to the Plan.

10.    Plan.
