Restricted Stock Units Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) as of the Grant Date.

The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Restricted Stock Units and related rights are nontransferable as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) sales of Shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Employees and Consultants, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Shares are not permitted, (iv) Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy of the Company, regardless of whether such recoupment or “clawback” policy is applied with prospective or retroactive effect, and (v) any entitlement to dividend equivalents will be in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

The IPO Options shall be at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Shares as determined by the offering price in the Initial Public Offering. The Shares subject to the IPO Options shall vest over three years of service and the shares of IPO Restricted Stock shall vest over four years of service after the Effective Date. The grant of the IPO Options and the IPO Restricted Stock and the exercise of the IPO Options shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan. Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent not contrary to applicable law, all of the IPO Options shall become fully vested and remain exercisable pursuant to their respective terms for the remainder of their respective Exercise Periods , and all unvested Shares, if any, of the IPO Restricted Stock shall become fully vested, effective upon termination of Executive's employment by reason of death, discharge by the Company pursuant to 3.4 (a) other than for Cause, resignation by Executive pursuant to Section 3.4(b) for Good Reason, termination by resignation or discharge for any reason other than Cause upon or after a Change in Control, or "retirement" or "disability" within the meaning of the Stock Option Plan; and all options granted after or in addition to the IPO Options, all shares of Restricted Stock awarded after or in additional to the IPO Restricted Stock, and any and all other awards to Executive pursuant to the Stock Option Plan shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined at the time of any such award under the direction of the Board pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. The Company shall exercise best efforts to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the issuance of shares of stock issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan and to satisfy the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) for purpose of allowing Executive to resell such shares.
Restricted Stock Grant As a member of Employer’s senior management team, Employee will be eligible for annual Restricted Stock Grants pursuant to Anaren’s 2004 Comprehensive Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (“2004 Plan”) equal in value to 16% of his Base Salary for the respective year. Restrictive Stock Grants will be made annually at the same time other Restricted Stock Grants are made by Anaren to its senior management team, provided Employee is employed with Employer on that date. All Restricted Stock grants issued pursuant to this provision will be subject to the terms of the 2004 Plan, including, but not limited to, a thirty-six (36) month forfeiture provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event Employee concludes employment on or after the expiration of the Period of Employment, Employee shall be entitled if the forfeiture period has not otherwise lapsed only to a pro-rata portion of each unvested Restricted Stock Grant based on the number of months employed by Employer from the date of grant to the expiration of the Period of Employment. In the way of example, if Employee has been employed for 9 months of the 36 month forfeiture period at the end of his Period of Employment, he will receive 25% of the Restricted Shares granted. If Employee remains employed by Employer on a full time basis (30 hours or more per week) after the Period of Employment as an at-will employee, all previously issued restricted stock shall continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the 2004 Plan.
Settlement of Restricted Stock Units Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in Shares, provided that Participant has satisfied any Tax-Related Items pursuant to Section 8 below. Shares will be issued to Participant within 70 days following the applicable Vesting Date unless subject to the terms of the Company’s deferred compensation plan; provided, however, that if the Participant is subject to taxation in the U.S. (a “U.S. Taxpayer”), the Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 1.6 below and the Restricted Stock Units are considered “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code (“Code Section 409A,” and such compensation, “Deferred Compensation”), the Shares will be issued in accordance with the following schedule: (i) if the termination event giving rise to the vesting acceleration occurs prior to the Change in Control and the Change in Control constitutes a “change in control event” (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i)) (a “409A CIC”), the Shares will be issued on the date of the Change in Control, and if the Change in Control does not constitute a 409A CIC, the Shares will be issued on the date that is six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) (a “Separation from Service”); (ii) if the termination event giving rise to the vesting acceleration occurs on or following the Change in Control and the Change in Control constitutes a 409A CIC, then the Shares will be issued within 30 days following the Participant’s Separation from Service, and if the Change in Control is not a 409A CIC, then the Shares will be issued on the date that is six months following the Participant’s Separation from Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of complying with Code Section 409A, if the Participant is a U.S. Taxpayer, the Restricted Stock Units are considered Deferred Compensation and the Restricted Stock Units are to be settled in connection with a termination contemplated under Section 1.6 below, the Company and the Participant shall take all steps necessary (including with regard to any post-termination services by the Participant) to ensure that a termination contemplated under Section 1.6 constitutes a Separation from Service. In addition, if the Restricted Stock Units are Deferred Compensation, the Restricted Stock Units are settled upon the Participant’s Separation from Service and the Participant is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, on the date the Participant experiences a Separation from Service, then the Shares will be issued on the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation from Service, or, if earlier, on the date of the Participant’s death, to the extent such delayed payment is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A.
Restricted Stock Shares of restricted stock granted to the Executive by the Company which have not become vested as of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, as provided in Section 7(b), shall immediately become vested on a pro rata basis upon the Release becoming irrevocable. The number of such additional shares of restricted stock that shall become vested as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment shall be that number of additional shares that would have become vested through the date of such termination of employment at the rate(s) determined under the vesting schedule applicable to such shares had such vesting schedule provided for the accrual of vesting on a daily basis (based on a 365-day year). The pro rata amount of shares vesting through the date of non-renewal shall be calculated by multiplying the number of unvested shares scheduled to vest in each respective vesting year by the ratio of the number of days from the date of grant through the date of non-renewal, and the number of days from the date of grant through the original vesting date of the respective vesting tranche. Any shares of restricted stock remaining unvested after such pro rata acceleration of vesting shall automatically be reacquired by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the applicable restricted stock agreement, and the Executive shall have no further rights in such unvested portion of the restricted stock. In addition, the Company shall waive any reacquisition or repayment rights for dividends paid on restricted stock prior to Executive’s termination of employment.
Forfeiture of Restricted Shares Subject to Section 4(b), if your Service to the Company or any Affiliate terminates before all of the Restricted Shares have vested, or if you attempt to transfer Restricted Shares in a manner contrary to the transfer restrictions, you will immediately forfeit all unvested Restricted Shares. Any Restricted Shares that are forfeited shall be returned to the Company for cancellation.
Restricted Stock Award Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant Shares (the “Restricted Shares”), which shall vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3 hereof.
