Form of
BancTec, Inc.
2009 Equity Incentive Plan
Restricted Stock Award Agreement
SECTION 1. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD.
(a) Restricted Stock Award. BancTec, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to the undersigned executive officer (the “Grantee”), effective as of [ ], 20[ ], the shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, in the amount set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Granted Shares”) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (the “Agreement”) and the BancTec, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.
(b) No Purchase Price. In lieu of a purchase price, this award is made in consideration of Service previously rendered by the Grantee to the Company.
SECTION 2. ISSUANCE OF SHARES
(a) Stock Certificates. Upon request from the Grantee, the Company shall cause to be issued a certificate or certificates for the Granted Shares representing this award, registered in the name of the Grantee (or in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship).
(b) Stockholder Rights. The Grantee (or any successor in interest) shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company (including, without limitation, voting, dividend and liquidation rights) only with respect to the Vested Shares (as defined below), subject, however, to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Escrow. For so long as the Granted Shares are not vested, the certificate or certificates representing such unvested Granted Shares, if any, shall remain in the Company’s possession. The Grantee shall deliver to the Company a duly-executed blank stock power in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Grantee shall have no rights with respect to any regular cash dividends paid on Restricted Shares (as defined below). The Granted Shares, together with any other assets or securities possessed by the Company for the benefit of the Grantee hereunder, shall be (i) remitted to the Company for reacquisition under the forfeiture provision set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement or (ii) released to the Grantee upon the Grantee’s request to the extent the Granted Shares have become vested shares. In any event, but subject to the provision of Section 4 of this Agreement, all Vested Shares (and any other vested assets and securities attributable thereto) shall be released by the Company to the Grantee within sixty (60) days following the date the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company.
(d) Section 83(b) Election. Section 83 of the Code provides that the Grantee is not subject to federal income tax until the restrictions on the Granted Shares lapse. If the Grantee chooses, the Grantee may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, which would cause the Grantee to recognize income in the amount of the excess (if any) of the Fair Market Value of the award (determined as of the date of the award) over the purchase price (if any). If the Grantee chooses to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, such Section 83(b) election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date of grant of this award (even if no tax is due because the Fair Market Value of the Granted Shares on the date of this award equals the purchase price paid or equals $0.00). The form for making a Section 83(b) election is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Grantee acknowledges that it is the Grantee’s sole responsibility to timely file the Section 83(b) election and that failure to file a Section 83(b) election within the applicable thirty (30)-day period may result in the recognition of ordinary income when the restrictions lapse.
(e) Withholding Requirements. The Company may withhold any tax (or other governmental obligation) as a result of the grant of this award and/or the filing of a Section 83(b) election as a condition to the grant of this award, and the Grantee shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all such withholding requirements.

(d) If the Grantee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or permanent disability as defined in the Employment Agreement (as defined below)) or by the Grantee for Good Reason, any Restricted Shares at such time shall become Vested Shares.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, if a Change of Control occurs, all Restricted Shares shall vest immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control.
SECTION 4. TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

The Company shall reacquire the Restricted Shares pursuant to this forfeiture provision without the payment of any consideration effective on the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company. From and after such time, the Grantee shall no longer have any rights as a holder of the Restricted Shares and such Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have been reacquired by and transferred to the Company. Once a forfeiture is effected, this award shall be cancelled with respect to the Restricted Shares and the Company shall have no further obligation with respect thereto.
