PRIVATEBANCORP, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the date set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Certificate (as defined in Section 1) by and between PrivateBancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Grantee identified on the Restricted Stock Award Certificate (“Grantee”). Except as otherwise indicated or defined herein, all words with initial capitals shall have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the PrivateBancorp, Inc. 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Grantee a certain number of shares of Common Stock, subject to the restrictions, and on the terms and conditions, set forth in the Plan and this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Grantee agree as follows:
1. Grant of Award; Form of Award.
(a) Subject to Grantee’s execution and delivery of the related Restricted Stock Award Certificate attached hereto or otherwise delivered or made available to Grantee in electronic form (the “Restricted Stock Award Certificate”) and any documents described therein, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan (the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein and expressly made a part hereof), the Company hereby grants to Grantee the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth on the Restricted Stock Award Certificate, subject to the restrictions and on the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Restricted Stock Award Certificate and in the Plan (the “Award”), and subject to any adjustment as provided in the Plan. As soon as practicable after Grantee has executed the Restricted Stock Award Certificate and any other documents referenced therein, and delivered the same to the Company, the Company shall cause to be issued in Grantee’s name a stock certificate representing the total number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Award in accordance with Section 4, below. In the discretion of the Committee, the Award to Grantee hereunder may be non-certificated and, accordingly, issuances and transfers shall be reflected on the stock ledger books and records of the Company and no certificate of shares of Common Stock in respect of Grantee’s shares will be issued to Grantee, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws, or the rules of any stock exchange. This Agreement and the Award is subject to all good faith determinations of the Committee and of the Company pursuant to the Plan.
(b) To the extent expressly provided in the Restricted Stock Award Certificate, this Award may constitute an award of Restricted Share Units under the Plan, in which case the special provisions applicable to Restricted Share Units set forth in Section 10 below shall apply.
-1-
2. Restrictions.
(a) The shares of Common Stock covered by this Award shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 9(a) of the Plan, which include, but are not limited to, prohibitions on the sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance of said shares, prior to the applicable vesting date set forth on the Restricted Stock Award Certificate (the period ending on any such vesting date(s) is hereinafter referred to as the “Restricted Period”). Sale, transfer and other disposition of the shares following termination of the Restricted Period may be limited by the absence of an established trading market for such shares and/or the provisions of applicable securities laws. The restrictions imposed hereunder shall not lapse upon expiration of the Restricted Period if such lapse would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation and shall only lapse upon the termination of such violation. As a condition to the receipt of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Award, the Company may require Grantee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in the Plan, each provision of this Agreement and all amounts which may be payable hereunder or under the Plan shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations required by any of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the TARP Capital Purchase Program or any subsequent or similar legislation, and any regulations or interpretations that have been or may from time to time be promulgated thereunder, including, but not limited to the Interim Final Rule issued by the U.S. Treasury Department on June 15, 2009 (all such legislation, regulations and interpretations, and any amendments or modifications thereof, collectively (“TARP”), as may be in effect on the date hereof and as may be amended, replaced or supplemented at any time and from time to time hereafter; provided, nothing herein shall limit or otherwise diminish any waiver previously entered into by Grantee pursuant to the Company’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, which waiver shall remain in full force and effect. The terms set forth in this Agreement are further subject to any applicable conditions, limitations or restrictions that may be imposed by any governmental or regulatory authority, including but not limited to the FDIC or other federal or state regulator (any such provisions, “Regulatory Restrictions”). If any vesting of the Award or the making of any payment pursuant to this Agreement shall violate, or shall have violated, TARP or any Regulatory Restrictions, Grantee shall be deemed to have waived Grantee’s right to such payment and, to the extent necessary to comply with TARP or such Regulatory Restrictions, shall promptly repay any such amount to the Company upon request, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to effectuate such waiver such that no obligation on the part of the Company to pay or provide the waived amount shall occur.
3. Rights as a Shareholder. Grantee shall have the right to vote the shares of Common Stock covered by this Award and to receive dividends thereon unless and until such shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 5 hereof.
4. Custody and Delivery of Shares. Each certificate representing the shares of Common Stock covered by this Award that may be issued in the name of Grantee shall bear appropriate legends regarding this Agreement and such other restrictions on transferability, which are substantially similar to the legend set forth as follows:
“The shares represented by this certificate are deemed to be restricted stock and until the applicable date on which the restrictions lapse (which is the first, second or third anniversary, as applicable, of the date the Award was made) are subject to the terms and conditions, including certain restrictions on transfer, applicable to restricted stock awarded pursuant to the PrivateBancorp, Inc. 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan and the Restricted Stock Award Agreement covering these shares, copies of which are available from the Company.”
-2-
The Company shall hold any certificate for shares of Common Stock covered by this Award until the restrictions shall lapse and shares represented hereby have vested pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Certificate and Section 5 of this Agreement, and if so certificated shall thereupon, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or other tax withholding obligations and applicable securities laws, deliver the certificate for the vested shares to Grantee.
5. Vesting; Effect of Termination of Employment. Except to the extent provided in paragraphs (a) through (e) below, the restrictions applicable to shares of Common Stock covered by this Award shall lapse and the shares shall become vested in accordance with the Restricted Stock Award Certificate.
(a) Disability. In the event Grantee becomes disabled during the period of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Award shall continue to vest during the first 180 days of Grantee’s approved disability leave pursuant to a Company disability policy. If Grantee remains on an approved disability leave for more than 180 days, the Restricted Period and all restrictions imposed on the shares of Common Stock covered by this Award shall lapse and be of no further force or effect, and the shares of Common Stock covered by this Award shall vest in full, on the 181st day of approved disability leave.
(b) Death. In the event Grantee dies during the period of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Restricted Period and all restrictions imposed on the shares of Common Stock covered by this Award shall fully and immediately lapse and be of no further force or effect, and the shares of Common Stock covered by this Award shall vest in full, on the date of Grantee’s death.
(c) Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs during the period of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Award shall vest to the extent provided in Section 13 of the Plan (it being understood that vesting will accelerate except to the extent Grantee receives a Replacement Award; in the event Grantee receives a Replacement Award and, within two years after the Change of Control, Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company (other than a Termination for Cause), or by Grantee with Good Reason, then, upon such termination, the Replacement Award shall become fully vested and exercisable).
(d) Retirement. In the event of a termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries under circumstances that constitute Grantee’s Retirement (as defined in Section 11), Grantee shall become vested in a pro rata portion of the Award (rounded to the nearest whole number), calculated as follows:
(A / B * C) - D
-3-
where, A equals the total number of completed months of service during the Award vesting period prior to Grantee’s Retirement; B equals the total number of full months during the Award vesting period set forth on the Restricted Stock Award Certificate; C equals the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the Restricted Stock Award Certificate; and D equals the number of shares subject to the Award that have previously vested; and such portion of the Award that has not become vested and exercisable shall be immediately forfeited and canceled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date Grantee shall cease to be Retired from the Industry (as defined in Section 11), any further vesting shall terminate as of such date, and Grantee shall forfeit any shares of Common Stock covered by this Award that are not yet vested and shall have no further rights to said shares or any amounts attributable thereto.
(e) Other Termination of Employment. In the event of termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the end of the Restricted Period for any other reason, Grantee will forfeit any shares of Common Stock covered by this Award that are not yet vested, and shall have no further rights to said shares or any amounts attributable thereto.
6. Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization. Any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or property issued with respect to the Common Stock covered by this Award, as a result of any declaration of stock dividends, through recapitalization resulting in stock splits, combinations or exchanges of shares or otherwise, shall be subject to the restrictions and terms and conditions set forth herein.
7. Payment of Taxes.
(a) Grantee or Grantee’s legal representative shall be required to pay to the Company the amount of any federal, state, local or other taxes which the Company determines it is required to withhold and pay over to governmental tax authorities with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by this Award on the date on which the Company’s tax liability arises with respect to such shares (the “Tax Date”). Grantee may satisfy such obligation by any of the following means: (i) cash payment to the Company, (ii) delivery to the Company of Previously-Acquired Shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined as of the Tax Date that equals the amount required, (iii) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined as of the Tax Date that equals the amount required, or (iv) any combination of (i), (ii), and (iii). The value of any shares withheld may not be in excess of the amount of taxes required to be withheld by the Company determined by applying the applicable minimum statutory withholding tax rates.
(b) The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes with respect to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith.
8. Beneficiary. Grantee may name, from time to time, any beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom the shares of Common Stock covered in this Award shall be paid in case of his death before receipt of such shares. Each designation shall be on a form prescribed for such purpose by the Committee and shall be effective only as set forth therein.
-4-
9. Compliance with Certain Laws and Regulations. If the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock covered in this Award upon any securities exchange or under any law or regulation, or that the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable in connection with the granting of shares of Common Stock hereunder, Grantee shall supply the Committee or Company, as the case may be, with such certificates, representations and information as the Committee or Company, as the case may be, may request and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.
10. Special Provisions Applicable to Restricted Share Units. In the event the Restricted Stock Award Certificate expressly provides that the Award is an award of Restricted Share Units, then the provisions of the Plan applicable to Restricted Share Units shall apply to this Award and foregoing provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied within the context of a Restricted Share Unit Award, which interpretation and application shall, among other things, reflect the following:
(a) The Award hereunder shall be an award of Restricted Share Units (“Units”). When payable, each Unit will be converted to and paid in shares of Common Stock.
(b) Provided Grantee has become vested in accordance with Section 5 above, the Units will become payable on the earlier of: (i) date set forth on the Restricted Stock Award Certificate, (ii) the termination of the Restricted Period in accordance with Section 5 as a result of Grantee’s disability, death, long-term disability or Retirement, as applicable, or (iii) the termination of the Restricted Period upon a Change of Control, provided such Change of Control is a change in ownership or change in effective control that qualifies as a payment event under Code Section 409A and any applicable final regulations and other published guidance relating thereto (collectively “Section 409A”).
(c) Grantee will not have any voting rights with respect to the Units, but will be entitled to receive dividends paid with respect to a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock as contemplated by Section 3 above.
(d) It is intended that the Units and exercise of authority or discretion hereunder shall comply with Code Section 409A so as not to subject Grantee to the payment of any interest or additional tax imposed under Section 409A. In furtherance of this intent, to the extent that any United States Department of the Treasury regulations, guidance, interpretations or changes to Section 409A would result in Grantee becoming subject to interest and additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, the Company and Grantee agree to amend this Award Agreement to bring the Units into compliance with Section 409A.
11. Certain Definitions.
(a) “Good Reason” means the occurrence, other than in connection with a discharge, of any of the following without Grantee’s consent: (A) a reduction in Grantee’s base
-5-
salary, target annual bonus opportunity (other than a proportionate reduction applicable to all executives of the Company, unless such reduction occurs during the two-year period commencing on the occurrence of a Change of Control), or (B) Grantee being required to be based at an office or location which is more than 50 miles from Grantee’s then-current office. Grantee must provide written notice to the Company of the existence of Good Reason no later than 90 days after its initial existence, and the Company shall have a period of 30 days following its receipt of such written notice during which it may remedy in all material respects the Good Reason condition identified in such written notice.
