WALKER & DUNLOP, INC.
2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
| Restricted Stock |
| This Agreement evidences an award of shares of Stock in the number set forth on the cover sheet and subject to the vesting and other conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and on the cover sheet (the “Restricted Stock”). The purchase price is deemed paid by your prior Services to the Company. |
|
|
|
|
| Transfer of Unvested Restricted Stock |
| Unvested Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted Stock be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. If you attempt to do any of these things, the Restricted Stock will immediately become forfeited. |
|
|
|
|
| Issuance and Vesting |
| The Company will issue your Restricted Stock in the name set forth on the cover sheet.
|
|
|
|
|
| [Change in Control |
| Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth above, upon the consummation of a Change in Control, the Restricted Stock will become 100% vested.] |
|
|
|
|
| Evidence of Issuance |
| The issuance of the shares of Stock under the grant of Restricted Stock evidenced by this Agreement shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry, registration or issuance of one or more share certificates, with any unvested Restricted Stock bearing the appropriate restrictions imposed by this Agreement. As your interest in the Restricted Stock vests, the recordation of the number of shares of Restricted Stock attributable to you will be appropriately modified if necessary. |
|
|
|
|
| Forfeiture of Unvested Restricted Stock |
| Unless the termination of your Service triggers accelerated vesting of your Restricted Stock or other treatment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, or any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate, as applicable, and you, you will automatically forfeit to the Company all of the unvested Restricted |
|
|
| Stock in the event you are no longer providing Service. |
|
|
|
|
| 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 of Restricted Stock 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 as to unvested Stock 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 Section 83(b) of the Code 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 A hereto. Failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period will result in the recognition 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 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 or receipt of the Restricted Stock. In the event that |
|
|
| the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the vesting or receipt of shares of Stock arising from this grant, the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, (including withholding the delivery of vested shares of Stock otherwise deliverable under this Agreement). You may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Company or an Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to you or (ii) by delivering to the Company or an Affiliate shares of Stock already owned by you. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations. |
| Retention Rights |
| This Agreement and the grant evidenced hereby do not give you the right to be retained by the Company or an Affiliate in any capacity. Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, and you, the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, reserves the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason. |
|
|
|
|
| Stockholder Rights |
| You have the right to vote the Restricted Stock and to receive any dividends declared or paid on such stock. Any distributions you receive as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or other similar transaction shall be deemed to be a part of the Restricted Stock and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto. The Company may in its sole discretion require any dividends paid on the Restricted Stock to be reinvested in shares of Stock, which the Company may in its sole discretion deem to be a part of the shares of Restricted Stock 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 an appropriate book entry is made (or your certificate is issued).
|
|
|
|
|
| Legends |
| If and to the extent that the Stock is represented by certificates rather than book entry, all certificates representing the Stock issued under this grant shall, where applicable, have endorsed thereon the following legends:
|
|
|
|
|
| Clawback |
| This Award is subject to mandatory repayment by you to the Company to the extent you are or in the future become subject to any Company “clawback” or recoupment policy that requires the repayment by you to the Company of compensation paid by the Company to you in the event that you fail to comply with, or violate, the terms or requirements of such policy. |
|
|
|
|
| Applicable Law |
| This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Maryland, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. |
|
|
|
|
| The Plan |
| The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. |
| Data Privacy |
| In order to administer the Plan, the Company may process personal data about you. Such data includes, but is not limited to, information provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data about you such as your contact information, and any other information that might be deemed appropriate by the Company to facilitate the administration of the Plan.
|
|
|
|
|
| Code Section 409A |
| It is intended that this Award comply with Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) or an exemption to Section 409A. To the extent that the Company determines that you would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Section 409A as a result of any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Company. For purposes of this Award, a termination of employment only occurs upon an event that would be a Separation from Service within the meaning of Section 409A. |
By signing this Agreement, you agree to all of the terms and conditions described above and in the Plan.
