Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Award Agreement, including Participant’s continued employment/service with the Company through the applicable Vesting date(s), ____________ of the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall Vest on ___________________.
5. Issuance and Transferability.
(a) Registration and Restricting Legend. Upon grant, the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be registered in the name of Participant and, unless and until such Restricted Stock vests, shall be left on deposit with the Company, or in trust or escrow pursuant to an agreement satisfactory to the Company, until such time as the restrictions on transfer have lapsed. If the shares of Restricted Stock are represented by certificates, such certificates shall be marked with the following legend:
“The shares represented by this certificate have been issued pursuant to the terms of the Flotek Industries, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, and may not be sold, pledged, transferred, assigned or otherwise encumbered in any manner except as is set forth in the terms of the Restricted Stock Agreement dated _________________.”
(b) Book Entry Form. If the shares are held in book entry form, then such entry will reflect, in a manner sufficient to effect in a legally enforceable form that such shares of Restricted Stock are subject to the restrictions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.
(c) Stock Power. Participant will deliver to the Company a stock power, in substantially the form as Exhibit A-1 attached hereto or such form as required by the Company, endorsed in blank, with respect to each Award of Restricted Stock.
(d) Release of Restrictions. Upon Vesting of any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock and satisfaction of any other conditions required by the Plan or pursuant to this Award Agreement, the Company shall promptly either issue a stock certificate, without such restricted legend, for any shares of the Restricted Stock that have Vested, or, if the shares are held in book entry form, the Company shall remove the notations on the book entry registrations for any shares of the Restricted Stock that have Vested.
(e) Prohibition on Transfer. Until restrictions lapse, the Restricted Stock shall not be transferable. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of Participant. Any purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or other encumbrance of the Restricted Stock, regardless of by whom initiated or attempted, prior to the lapse of restrictions shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or other encumbrance of the Restricted Stock is effected by operation of law, court order or otherwise, the affected Restricted Stock shall remain subject to the risk of forfeiture, Vesting requirement and all other terms and conditions of this Award Agreement. In the case of Participant’s death or Disability, Participant’s Vested rights under this Award Agreement (if any) may be exercised and enforced by Participant’s guardian or legal representative.
6. Forfeiture.
(a) In the event of Participant’s Termination for a reason other than a reason that causes Vesting pursuant to Section 6(b) or 6(c) of this Agreement, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock held by Participant at that time shall immediately be forfeited and the Company shall repurchase such forfeited shares from the Participant for the lesser of (i) the amount paid by the Participant to the Company for such shares, if any, or (ii) the Fair Market Value of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock determined on the date the Restricted Stock is forfeited.
(b) The occurrence of any of the following events shall cause the portion of the Restricted Stock which is not yet Vested to be considered immediately Vested: (i) a Change of Control, (ii) the death of Participant, (iii) the Disability of Participant, or (iv) a termination by the Participant for Good Reason which occurs within 12 months after a Change in Control (as determined in the Plan). For purposes hereof, “Good Reason” shall exist upon the occurrence of one of the following Company actions (unless Participant consents in writing to such action(s)): (i) a material reduction of the Participant’s salary and Participant’s benefits to which the Participant was entitled immediately prior to such reduction, (ii) a material reduction in the duties, authority or responsibilities relative to the Participant’s duties, authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, or (iii) the relocation of the Participant to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from the Participant’s then present location; provided, however, that (A) Participant must provide the Company with written notice of the occurrence of such action(s) within 60 days of the initial occurrence of such action(s) and of his intent to terminate employment based on such action(s), (B) the written notice must describe the event constituting Good Reason in reasonable detail, and (C) within 30 days from the date that such written notice is received by the Company, the Company must cure such action(s).
(c) A Termination of the Participant by the Company which is not for Cause (and at a time that the Participant is otherwise willing and able to continue in employment) shall cause the portion of the Restricted Stock which is not yet Vested but which pursuant to its terms would with the passage of time only become Vested within twelve (12) months of the date of Termination to be considered immediately Vested. For clarity, (i) a Termination of the Participant by the Company which is not for Cause shall not cause the Vesting of any other portion of the Restricted Stock than that referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and (ii) no Termination causing Vesting pursuant to Section 6(b) shall be considered a Termination by the Company which is without Cause.
7. Ownership Rights. Subject to any reservations, conditions or restrictions set forth in this Award Agreement and/or the Plan, upon grant to Participant of the Restricted Stock, Participant shall be entitled to all voting rights applicable to the Restricted Stock during the Restricted Period. In the event of forfeiture of shares of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have no further rights with respect to such Restricted Stock.
8. Reorganization of the Company. The existence of this Award Agreement shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; any merger or consolidation of the Company; any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Restricted Stock or the rights thereof; the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
9. Certain Restrictions.

Participant is encouraged to contact his/her tax advisor to discuss any tax implications which may arise in connection with the Restricted Stock.
(b) Withholding. Participant acknowledges that the Vesting of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Award Agreement, the making of an election under Section 83(b) of the Code and the Vesting and payment of any accrued dividends may result in federal, state or local tax withholding obligations. Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company will not deliver shares of Common Stock or make any payment of accrued dividends until it is satisfied that appropriate arrangements have been made to satisfy any tax obligation under this Award Agreement or the Plan and agrees to make appropriate arrangements suitable to the Company for satisfaction of all tax withholding obligations. Further, Participant hereby agrees and grants to the Company the right to withhold from any payments or amounts of compensation, payable in cash or otherwise, in order to meet any tax withholding obligations under this Award Agreement or the Plan.
