On each Vesting Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and those contained in this Agreement, the Company shall issue to Participant the number of shares of Series E Common Stock determined by dividing (i) by (ii), where (i) is the dollar amount of the portion of the Total Dollar Value of the Award vesting on such date (pursuant to the schedule above), and (ii) is the Fair Market Value of a share of the Series E Common Stock on such Vesting Date. | |||
(b) As a condition to the issuance of the Deferred Restricted Shares on a Vesting Date, if Participant is not already a party to such agreements, Participant must before such Vesting Date become a party to (i) the Stockholders’ Agreement (ii) the Series E Voting Trust Agreement and (iii) the Rollover Holders Agreement. The Stockholders’ Agreement contains certain Transfer restrictions, drag-along rights and share redemption and repurchase provisions applicable to the Deferred Restricted Shares after they have been issued pursuant to this Agreement (“Restricted Shares”). Pursuant to the Series E Voting Trust Agreement, Participant will deposit all of his or her Restricted Shares into a voting trust and, although the Restricted
Shares are not entitled to vote, except as required by law and except with respect to the election of directors and then only to the extent Series A common stock and Series B common stock has been redeemed, and do not have the right to consent to any amendment or waiver of the Stockholders’ Agreement, the voting trustees thereunder will be able to vote all of the Restricted Shares on the limited matters (if any) on which Participant may be entitled to vote or consent. Attached hereto as Exhibit “D” is a summary of the restrictions, rights and provisions applicable to the Restricted Shares under the Stockholders’ Agreement and Series E Voting Trust Agreement.
(c) In no event shall Participant have any further right to issuance of any additional Deferred Restricted Shares following Participant’s Termination of Employment as hereinafter defined; provided, however, that, if shares of Series E Common Stock have not been issued to Participant with respect to the Total Dollar Value of the Award at the time of Participant’s death, the Company shall issue to Participant the number of shares of Series E Common Stock determined by dividing (i) by (ii), where (i) is the dollar amount equal to one-third (1/3) of the Total Value of the Award, and (ii) is the Fair Market Value of a share of Series E Common Stock on the date of Participant’s death. In addition, if on any scheduled Vesting Date, the Employee is “on probation” or is otherwise not in good standing with the Employer, as evidenced by the Employee’s personnel files, the Deferred Restricted Shares shall not be issued, unless and until the Employee satisfies his or her conditions of probation or the Employee’s status returns to satisfactory.
For purposes of this Agreement “Termination of Employment” shall mean the time when the employee-employer relationship between Participant and the Company, ORIX LP or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason, with or without cause, including, but not by way of limitation, a termination by resignation, discharge, death, disability or retirement; but excluding terminations where there is a simultaneous reemployment or continuing employment of Participant by the Company, ORIX LP (when it is anticipated that the Participant’s services as an Employee of ORIX LP will be provided primarily to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Termination of Employment” shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Employee gives or is given notice of termination, even if the Employee is entitled to gardening leave or the Employee’s last day in the office or last day on payroll occurs on a later date. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to Termination of Employment, including, but not by way of limitation, all questions regarding the nature and reasons for a Termination of Employment, and all questions of whether particular leaves of absence constitute a Termination of Employment.
(d) The Restricted Shares will be issued in uncertificated form, with the Restricted Shares recorded in Participant’s name (or the name of any relevant Qualified Living Trust, as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) in the books and records of the Company (or its transfer agent). Participant hereby waives any right to request from the Company a certificate representing his or her Restricted Shares registered in certificate form.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Deferred Restricted Shares (prior to issuance as Restricted Shares), or any interest or right therein or part thereof, shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or
shall be subject to Transfer, whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted Transfer thereof shall be null and void and of no effect.
3. Participant’s Representations and Warranties.

The Company may require such payment to be made by the deduction of such amount from other compensation payable to Participant, such as cash incentive bonus payments, or, in the Company’s discretion, the Company may require Participant to make all or any portion of such payment in one or more of the other forms specified below:
(i) by cash or check made payable to the Company;
(ii) by tendering shares of Series E Common Stock which have a then current Fair Market Value not greater than the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligation based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes; or
(iii) in any combination of the foregoing.
(b) In the event Participant fails to provide timely payment of all sums required by the Company pursuant to Section 8(a), the Company shall have the right and option, but not obligation, to treat such failure as an election by Participant to provide all or any portion of such required payment by means of tendering shares of Series E Common Stock in accordance with Section 8(a)(ii) above.

Any notice or communication to be given by Participant under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Secretary or his or her office. Any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to him or her at the address specified for Participant in the
Company’s records.

11. Further Instruments.
Participant agrees, upon request, to execute any further documents or instruments that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law.
14. Conformity to Securities Laws.
Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder) and to such rules, regulations and other requirements of any listing, regulatory or other governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith.

The Company shall furnish without charge to Participant, if he or she so requests, a statement of the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, options or other special rights of the Series E Common Stock and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.
17. Amendments.
This Agreement and the Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified at any time and from time to time by either the Company or the Administrator without the consent of Participant, provided that such amendment shall not impair any rights of Participant under this Agreement without his or her written consent unless the Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, that such amendment is necessary (a) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with the Plan or any other provision herein or (b) to correct, supplement or modify any provision herein to eliminate, mitigate or reflect the effect of any change in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles that occurs after the Grant Date.
