The Company shall cause certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares, and any shares of Stock or rights to acquire shares of Stock distributed by the Company in respect of Restricted Shares during any Period of Restriction (the “Retained Distributions”), to be issued in the Executive’s name. During the Period of Restriction such certificates shall bear a restrictive legend to the effect that ownership of such Restricted Shares (and any Retained Distributions), and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto, are subject to the restrictions, terms, and conditions provided in the Plan and this Agreement. The Executive shall have the right to vote the Restricted Shares awarded to the Executive and to receive and retain all regular dividends paid in cash or property (other than Retained Distributions), and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Shares, with respect to such Restricted Shares, with the exception that (a) the Executive shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Shares until the Forfeiture Restrictions applicable thereto shall have expired, (b) the Company shall retain custody of all Retained Distributions made or declared with respect to the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid, or declared shall have become vested, and such Retained Distributions shall not bear interest or be segregated in separate accounts and (c) the Executive may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber, or dispose of the Restricted Shares or any Retained Distributions during the Period of Restriction. Upon issuance the certificates shall be delivered to such depository as may be designated by the Committee as a depository for safekeeping until the forfeiture of such Restricted Shares occurs or the Forfeiture Restrictions lapse, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Shares and any securities constituting Retained Distributions which shall be forfeited in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement. In accepting the award of Shares set forth in this Agreement the Executive accepts and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.
TITLE TO SECURITIES; RESTRICTED SHARES The Participant represents and warrants on behalf of itself and any party for which it acts that Deposit Securities delivered by it to the custodian and/or any relevant sub-custodian in connection with a Purchase Order will not be “restricted securities,” as such term is used in Rule 144(a)(3)(i) of the 1933 Act, and, at the time of delivery, the Fund will acquire good and unencumbered title to such Deposit Securities, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances, and not be subject to any adverse claims.
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.
Vesting of Restricted Shares The Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture to the Company until they become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with this Section 2. While subject to forfeiture, the Restricted Shares may not be sold, pledged, assigned, otherwise encumbered or transferred in any manner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily by the operation of law, except to (i) an immediate family member or (ii) a trust or other estate-planning vehicle (collectively, the “Permitted Transferees”), so long as any such Permitted Transferee, as a condition to such transfer, agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Restricted Shares.
(a) 100% of the Restricted Shares subject hereto shall become vested and non-forfeitable on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, provided the Grantee remains in continuous service with the Company through such date.
(b) Upon cessation of the Service Relationship (hereinafter defined), any Restricted Shares which then remain forfeitable (determined after application of Section 2(c), below) will immediately and automatically, without any action on the part of the Company, be forfeited, and the Grantee will have no further rights with respect to those shares.
(c) If the Service Relationship (as defined below) terminates due to the Grantee’s death, or if a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs during the Service Relationship, any otherwise unvested Restricted Shares will then become vested and non-forfeitable. Similarly, if the Service Relationship ceases due to a termination by the Company without “Cause”, due to the Grantee’s “Disability” or due to a resignation by the Grantee with “Good Reason” (each as defined in that certain Employment Agreement between the Grantee and the Company dated on or about the closing date of the Transaction (the “Employment Agreement”)), and the Grantee executes a release of claims in the form and manner described in Section 7(c)(iii) of the Employment Agreement within the timeframe established in the Employment Agreement, any otherwise unvested Restricted Shares will become vested and non-forfeitable when such release becomes irrevocable.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Service Relationship” means the Grantee’s employment or service with the Company or its parent or any subsidiary or Affiliate, whether in the capacity of an employee, director or a consultant. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Grantee’s Service Relationship shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Grantee renders service to the Company or a transfer between locations of the Company, its parent or any subsidiary or Affiliate or a transfer between the Company, its parent, or any subsidiary or Affiliate, provided that there is no interruption or other termination of the Service Relationship. Subject to the foregoing and the following sentence, the Company, in its discretion, shall determine whether the Grantee’s Service Relationship has terminated and the effective date of such termination. The following events shall not be deemed a termination of the Service Relationship:
Transfer of Restricted Securities (a) Restricted Securities are transferable only pursuant to (i) Public Offerings, (ii) Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar rule or rules then in force) if such rule or rules are available and (iii) subject to the conditions specified in clause (b) below, any other legally available means of transfer.
(b) In connection with the transfer of any Restricted Securities (other than a transfer described in Sections 4(a)(i) or (ii) above or to any Affiliate of an Investor), the holder thereof shall deliver written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail the transfer or proposed transfer. If the holder of the Restricted Securities delivers to the Company an opinion of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP or other counsel that no subsequent transfer of such Restricted Securities shall require registration under the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly upon such contemplated transfer deliver to the prospective transferor new certificates for such Restricted Securities that do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in Section 7C. If the Company is not required to deliver new certificates for such Restricted Securities not bearing such legend, the holder thereof shall not transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in this Section 4 and Section 7C.
(c) Upon the request of an Investor, the Company shall promptly supply to such Investor or its prospective transferees all information regarding the Company required to be delivered in connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Issuance of Restricted Stock On the date hereof the Company issues to the Participant the Restricted Stock subject to the Restrictions and other conditions set forth in this Award Agreement. The Company shall cause the Restricted Stock to be issued in the name of the Participant or held in book entry form, but if a stock certificate is issued it shall be delivered to and held in custody by the Company until the Restrictions lapse or such Restricted Stock is forfeited. As a further condition to the Company’s obligations under this Award Agreement, the Participant’s spouse, if any, shall execute and deliver to the Company the Consent of Spouse attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Grant of Restricted Share Units Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant [ ] Class A restricted share units (the “RSUs”).
Non-Transferability of RSUs Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in its discretion, RSUs may not be sold, assigned, alienated, transferred, pledged, attached or otherwise encumbered except as provided in Section 9(a) of the Plan. Any purported sale, assignment, alienation, transfer, pledge, attachment or other encumbrance of RSUs in violation of the provisions of this Section 6 and Section 9(a) of the Plan shall be void.
Repurchase Rights If the Optionee for any reason whatsoever ----------------- (including without limitation death, disability, or voluntary or involuntary termination) ceases to be employed by the Company or Banyan Worldwide, or providing services on behalf of the Company or Banyan Worldwide, prior to the date specified in Section 8(d) below for the expiration of these restrictions, then during the 90-day period following such termination the Company may elect, by written notice delivered to the Optionee, to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares, at a price per share equal to the fair market value of such Shares as of the close of business on the date of termination of the Optionee's employment. Such fair market value shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and the Optionee. Failing such agreement between the Optionee and the Company within 30 days of the date of the Company's notice electing to repurchase such Shares, the fair market value of such Shares shall be determined by three appraisers, one designated within five days after the termination of said 30-day period by the Optionee or his or her legal representatives (which appraiser shall not be the Optionee or his or her legal representative), one within said period of five days by the Company (which appraiser shall not be an officer, director or employee of the Company) and the third within five days after said appointment last occurring by the two appraisers so chosen. Successor appraisers, if any shall be required, shall be appointed, within a reasonable time, as nearly as may be in the manner provided as to the related original appointment. No appointment shall be deemed as having been accomplished unless such appraiser shall have accepted in writing his appointment as such within the time limited for his appointment. Notice of each appointment of an appraiser shall be given promptly to the other parties in interest. Any expenses relating to the appointment and service of an appraiser shall be paid by the party appointing such appraiser or, in the case of the appraiser appointed by the appraisers chosen by the Company and the Optionee, shall be paid by the Company. Said appraisers shall proceed promptly to determine the fair market value of said Share or Shares by agreement of any two of the appraisers, which shall be conclusive upon all parties in interest in such Shares. Promptly following such determination, the appraisers shall mail or deliver such notice of such determination to the Optionee and the Company.
