Xxxxx Micro Software, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, between the registered owner and Xxxxx Micro Software, Inc. (the “Company”). A copy of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Agreement may be obtained from the Secretary of the Company.
4.Vesting. Except as otherwise provided herein, and subject to the Awardee’s continuing service with the Company for the applicable vesting period, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Plan, the Restricted Shares shall vest, and the Restrictions thereon shall lapse, in accordance with the following schedule:
[insert vesting schedule]
The period over which the Restricted Stock vests is referred to as the “Restriction Period.”
5.Forfeiture. The Restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall not lapse unless and until (and solely to the extent) the vesting requirements with respect to such Restricted Shares are satisfied. To the extent the vesting requirements set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement are not satisfied with respect to all or any portion of the Restricted Shares as a result of Awardee’s Termination of Service for any reason prior to vesting of the Restricted Shares, the terms of Article VI of the Plan shall control, and the non-vested portion of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited by the Awardee.
6.Change of Control. Notwithstanding the vesting conditions contained in Section 4 of this Agreement, upon a Change of Control, all of the Restricted Shares shall automatically become fully vested, no longer subject to restrictions and freely transferable, in each case as of the date of such Change of Control.
7.Voting and Dividend Rights. The Awardee shall have the voting and dividend rights of a holder of Shares with respect to the Restricted Shares; provided, however, that any dividends paid on the Restricted Shares in the form of Shares shall be deposited with the Company, together with a share power endorsed in blank or other appropriate instrument of transfer and such Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions, including as it relates to transfer and forfeiture, as the Restricted Shares.
8.Regulation by the Committee. This Agreement and the Restricted Shares shall be subject to the administrative procedures and rules as the Committee shall adopt. All decisions of the Committee upon any question arising under the Plan or under this Agreement, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Awardee.
9.Withholding. The Awardee shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company or an Affiliate shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any compensation paid to the Awardee pursuant to the Plan, the minimum amount necessary in connection with the Restricted Shares to satisfy its withholding obligations under any and all applicable federal, state

and/or local tax rules or regulations and to take all such other action as the Committee deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Awardee shall be entitled to make an election to include the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares into income under Section 83(b) of the Code (a “Section 83(b) Election”). Any such election must be made within thirty (30) days after the Grant Date. If the Awardee elects to make a Section 83(b) Election, the Awardee shall provide the Company with a copy of an executed version and satisfactory evidence of the filing of the executed Section 83(b) Election with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The Awardee agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that the Section 83(b) Election is actually and timely filed with the US Internal Revenue Service and for all tax consequences resulting from the Section 83(b) Election. The Company may permit the Awardee to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation by any of the following means, or by a combination of such means:
(a)tendering a cash payment;
(b)authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to the Awardee as a result of the vesting of the Restricted Stock; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock shall be withheld with a value exceeding the maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by law.
(c)delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Awardee's responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock or the subsequent sale of any shares; and (b) does not commit to structure the Restricted Stock to reduce or eliminate the Awardee's liability for Tax-Related Items.
10.Amendment. The Committee may amend this Agreement at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that no amendment of this Agreement that would materially and adversely impair the Awardee’s rights or entitlements with respect to the Restricted Shares shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Awardee (unless such amendment is required in order to cause the Restricted Stock Award hereunder to be exempt from Code Section 409A, as interpreted by applicable authorities).
11.Awardee Acknowledgment. Awardee acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of the Restricted Shares pursuant to this Agreement is earned only by continuing service with the Company and the satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth herein. Awardee further acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement nor in the Plan shall confer upon the Awardee any right to continue in the service of the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with Awardee’s right or the Company’s right to terminate Awardee’s service at any time, with or without Cause. Awardee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she
