RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
This Restricted Stock Agreement (this “Agreement") is made as of by
Eclipsys Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Eclipsys”)
and
(“Recipient”) to govern awards of restricted stock by Eclipsys to Recipient made from time to time pursuant to Grant
Notices (as defined below) that reference this Agreement as governing the awards reflected therein.
1. Grants of Restricted Stock. From time to time in its discretion, Eclipsys may grant and
issue to Recipient shares of Eclipsys’s common stock that are subject to the restrictions described
in and other provisions of this Agreement (the “Restricted Stock”). No grants of Restricted Stock
are promised by this Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Stock will be documented by a written
notice delivered by Eclipsys to Recipient (a “Grant Notice") stating: (i) that the Restricted Stock
described therein is subject to this Agreement, (ii) the number of shares of Restricted Stock
subject to the grant, (iii) the schedule and any other conditions for vesting of the Restricted
Stock, and (iv) such other terms and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock as Eclipsys may
determine. As a condition to each grant of Restricted Stock, Recipient is required to pay to
Eclipsys $.01 by cash or check for each share of Restricted Stock (the “Acquisition
Consideration”).
2. Governing Plan. The Restricted Stock shall be granted pursuant to and (except as
specifically set forth herein or in another written agreement between Eclipsys and Recipient)
subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Eclipsys Corporation 2005 Stock
Incentive Plan or its successor plan (the “Plan”), which are incorporated herein by reference.
Terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
3. Restrictions on the Restricted Stock.
(a) Limitation on Transfer. The Restricted Stock (including any shares received by
Recipient with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits
or any other form of recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting Eclipsys’s securities
without receipt of consideration) may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered unless and until the conditions to vesting set forth
in the Grant Notice are met and any additional requirements or restrictions contained in this
Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan have been satisfied, terminated or expressly waived by
Eclipsys in writing. However, this will not prohibit nominal transfers of Restricted Stock for
estate planning purposes that do not effect a change in beneficial ownership, if the transferee
agrees in writing to the terms of this Agreement. Satisfaction of the conditions to vesting set
forth in the Grant Notice and any additional requirements or restrictions contained in this
Agreement, and the resulting removal of the restrictions imposed hereunder from particular shares
of Restricted Stock, is also referred to as “vesting” of those shares and shares from which the
restrictions have been removed are referred to as “vested.”
(b) Cancellation of Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding Section 3(a), but
subject to the Plan, any applicable Grant Notice, and any other separate written agreement between
Eclipsys and Recipient providing for vesting of any Restricted Stock in connection with termination
of Recipient’s employment or service or a change in control of Eclipsys, if any Cancellation Event
occurs, then (i) vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock originally scheduled to vest after the
time that Cancellation Event occurred will cease; (ii) any grant insofar as it relates to
Restricted Stock that has not yet vested will be cancelled; (iii) unvested Restricted Stock will be
forfeited to Eclipsys and all rights of Recipient as a stockholder of such
Restricted Stock Agreement
- date
- date
shares will cease; (iv) Eclipsys shall be obligated to pay to Recipient, by cash or equivalent
or by cancellation of amounts owed by Recipient to Eclipsys or any Affiliate, the Acquisition
Consideration per share previously received from Recipient in respect of all shares of Restricted
Stock that are forfeited to Eclipsys; and (v) Recipient shall have no rights to or in respect of
shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited to Eclipsys except the right to receive the
Acquisition Consideration in respect thereof. In case of a Cancellation Event, any partially
vested share will be rounded up to the nearest whole share for purposes of determining the number
of shares that are forfeited to Eclipsys. For these purposes, if Recipient is an employee of
Eclipsys or any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations (each an “Affiliate”) as
defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any
regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), a “Cancellation Event” means, and shall be deemed
to occur upon, the cessation of Recipient’s employment with Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates or
its successor (other than in situations in which the Recipient is or is becoming a member of the
Board of Directors of Eclipsys) for any reason, including without limitation resignation by
Recipient with or without good reason, or termination of employment by Eclipsys or any Affiliate or
its successor with or without cause . If Recipient is a member of the Board of Directors of
Eclipsys, a Cancellation Event means, and shall be deemed to occur upon, cessation of Recipient’s
service as a director of Eclipsys, unless at the time of such cessation Recipient is then an
employee of Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates, in which case Recipient shall thereafter be treated
as an employee for these purposes.
4. Voting and Other Rights. During the period prior to vesting, except as otherwise provided
herein, Recipient will have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to all of the
Restricted Stock, including without limitation the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the
right to receive all dividends or other distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock. In
connection with the payment of such dividends or other distributions, Eclipsys will be entitled to
deduct from any amounts otherwise payable by Eclipsys to Recipient (including without limitation
salary or other compensation), except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or regulation, any
taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over or
deposited to such authority for Recipient’s account.
5. Handling of Shares.
(a) Certificates or Book Entries. Eclipsys may in its discretion issue physical
certificates representing Restricted Stock, or cause the Restricted Stock to be recorded in book
entry form and reflected in records maintained by or for Eclipsys. Each certificate or data base
entry representing any unvested portion of any Restricted Stock may be endorsed with a legend
substantially as set forth below, as well as such other legends as Eclipsys may deem appropriate to
comply with applicable laws and regulations:
The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to certain limitations on transfer
and other restrictions as set forth in that certain Restricted Stock Agreement, dated as of
, between Eclipsys and the
holder of such securities, the Eclipsys
Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (copies of which are available for inspection at the
offices of Eclipsys), and the notice of grant applicable to the securities.
(b) Escrow. With respect to each unvested share of Restricted Stock (including any
shares received by Recipient with respect to shares of Restricted Stock that have not yet vested as
a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization or a similar
transaction affecting Eclipsys’s securities without receipt of consideration), the Secretary of
Eclipsys, or such other escrow holder as the Secretary may appoint, will retain physical custody of
any certificate representing such share until such share vests.

(c) Delivery of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the vesting of any
Restricted Stock and upon request by Recipient, but subject to Section 5(d), Eclipsys will
deliver to Recipient or Recipient’s designee a certificate(s) free of restrictive legends
representing such vested Restricted Stock, or cause appropriate book entry or other electronic
changes to be made to reflect Recipient’s ownership of such vested Restricted Stock free of
restrictions, in any case net of the number of shares withheld by Eclipsys in payment of tax
pursuant to Section 6(a).
(d) Conditions to Vesting. At the time for vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock,
and as a condition to vesting, Recipient must, if requested by Eclipsys, make appropriate
representations in a form satisfactory to Eclipsys that such Restricted Stock will not be sold
other than (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act; (B) in
compliance with all applicable state securities laws and regulations; and (C) in compliance with
all terms and conditions of the Plan, the applicable Grant Notice, any applicable policy of
Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates, and any other written agreement between Recipient and Eclipsys
or any of its Affiliates.
6. Tax Matters.
(a) Recipient’s Tax Obligations. The vesting of Restricted Stock generally results in
taxable income for employees and is subject to appropriate income tax withholding, deposits, or
other deductions required by applicable laws or regulations. Subject to any separate written
agreement between Recipient and Eclipsys, Recipient and Recipient’s successors will be responsible
for all income and other taxes payable as a result of grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock or
otherwise in connection with this Agreement. All obligations of Eclipsys or its Affiliates to pay
tax deposits to any federal, state or other taxing authority as a result of grant or vesting of
Restricted Stock will result in a commensurate obligation of Recipient to reimburse Eclipsys or its
Affiliate the amount of such tax deposits. Such obligation of Recipient shall, unless otherwise
specified in the applicable Grant Notice or in a separate written agreement between Eclipsys and
Recipient, be satisfied by the Recipient forfeiting and Eclipsys deducting and retaining from the
shares vesting at any particular time that number of shares with a value equal to the amount of the
required minimum tax withholdings that Eclipsys or its Affiliate is required to pay as a result of
such vesting, with such value measured by the same value per share used by Eclipsys or its
Affiliate to determine its tax deposit obligation and based on the minimum statutory withholding
rates for federal and state income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to supplemental
wages. If Eclipsys or its Affiliate is required to pay additional tax deposits after the initial
issuance to Recipient of the net number of vested shares, Eclipsys or its Affiliate may require
Recipient to make up the difference in cash. If the tax deposits paid are less than Recipient’s
tax obligations, Recipient is solely responsible for any additional taxes due. If Eclipsys or its
Affiliate pays tax deposits in excess of Recipient’s tax obligations, Recipient’s sole recourse
will be against the relevant taxing authorities, and Eclipsys and its Affiliates will have no
obligation to issue additional shares or pay cash to Recipient in respect thereof. Recipient is
responsible for determining Recipient’s actual income tax liabilities and making appropriate
payments to the relevant taxing authorities to fulfill Recipient’s tax obligations and avoid
interest and penalties.
(b) Section 83(b) Election. Recipient understands that Recipient may make an election
pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (by filing an election with the Internal Revenue Service
within thirty (30) days after the date Recipient acquired the Restricted Stock) to include in
Recipient’s gross income the fair market value (as of the date of acquisition) of the Restricted
Stock. Recipient may make such an election under Section 83(b), or comparable provisions of any
state tax law, only if, prior to making any such election, Recipient (a) notifies Eclipsys of
Recipient’s intention to make such election, by delivering to Eclipsys a copy of the fully-executed
Section 83(b) Election Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (b) pays to Eclipsys an
amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes or other amounts required by
Restricted Stock Agreement
- date
- date
3
any governmental authority to be withheld or paid over to such authority for Recipient’s
account, or otherwise makes arrangements satisfactory to Eclipsys for the payment of such amounts
through withholding or otherwise. Recipient understands that if Recipient has not made a proper
and timely Section 83(b) election, at the time the forfeiture restrictions applicable to the
Restricted Stock lapse, Section 83 will generally provide that Recipient will recognize ordinary
income and be taxed in an amount equal to the fair market value (as of the date the forfeiture
restrictions lapse) of the Restricted Stock less the Acquisition Consideration paid for the
Restricted Stock. For this purpose, the term “forfeiture restrictions” includes the right of
Eclipsys to acquire the Restricted Stock pursuant to its rights under Section 3 of this
Agreement. Recipient acknowledges that it is Recipient’s sole responsibility, and not the
responsibility of Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates, to file a timely election under Section 83(b),
even if Recipient requests Eclipsys or its representative to make this filing on Recipient’s
behalf. Recipient is relying solely on Recipient’s advisors with respect to the decision as to
whether or not to file a Section 83(b) election.
7. Additional Agreements
(a) Independent Advice; No Representations. Recipient acknowledges that (i) Recipient
was and is free to use professional advisors of Recipient’s choice in connection with this
Agreement and any grant of Restricted Stock, that Recipient understands this Agreement and the
meaning and consequences of receiving grants of Restricted Stock, and is entering into this
Agreement freely and without coercion or duress; and (ii) Recipient has not received and is not
relying, and will not rely, upon any advice, representations or assurances made by or on behalf of
Eclipsys or any Affiliate or any employee of or counsel to Eclipsys or any Affiliate regarding any
tax or other effects or implications of the Restricted Stock or other matters contemplated by this
Agreement or any Grant Notice.
(b) Value of Restricted Stock. No representations or promises are made to Recipient
regarding the value of the Restricted Stock or the business prospects of Eclipsys or any Affiliate.
Recipient acknowledges that information about investment in Eclipsys stock, including financial
information and related risks, is contained in Eclipsys’s SEC reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K,
which have been made available from Eclipsys’s Human Resources department and/or on Eclipsys’s
internal web site for Recipient’s review at any time before Recipient’s acceptance of this
Agreement or at any time during Recipient’s employment or service. Further, Recipient understands
that Eclipsys and its Affiliates do not provide tax or investment advice and acknowledges
Eclipsys’s recommendation that Recipient consult with independent specialists regarding such
matters. Sale or other transfer of Eclipsys stock may be limited by and subject to policies of
Eclipsys or its Affiliates as well as applicable securities laws and regulations.
(c) Merger, Consolidation or Reorganization. In the event of a Reorganization of
Eclipsys in which holders of shares of Common Stock of Eclipsys are entitled to receive in respect
of such shares any additional shares or new or different shares or securities, cash or other
consideration (including, without limitation, a different number of shares of Common Stock)
(“Exchange Consideration”), then Recipient will be entitled to receive a proportionate share of the
Exchange Consideration in exchange for any Restricted Stock that is then still owned by Recipient
and not cancelled; provided that, subject to any Grant Notice or other separate written agreement
between Eclipsys and Recipient providing for vesting of any Restricted Stock in connection with
termination of Recipient’s employment or a change in control of Eclipsys, any Exchange
Consideration issued to Recipient in respect of unvested Restricted Stock will be subject to the
same restrictions and vesting provisions that were applicable to the Restricted Stock in exchange
for which the Exchange Consideration was issued.
(d) No Right to Continued Employment or Service; No Positive Inference. Neither this
Agreement nor any grant of Restricted Stock confers upon Recipient any right to continue as an
4
Restricted Stock Agreement
- date
employee, director or consultant of, or in any other relationship with, Eclipsys or its
Affiliates, or to any particular employment or service tenure or minimum vesting of Restricted
Stock, or limits in any way the right of Eclipsys or its Affiliates to terminate Recipient’s
services to Eclipsys or any of its Affiliates at any time, with or without cause. Restricted Stock
is to motivate and reward future performance, and no grant of Restricted Stock will be interpreted
as a reward for past performance that dictates vesting in advance of the vesting schedule specified
in the applicable Grant Notice, or an indication that the Recipient has performed well or is
entitled to any particular employment or service tenure.
8. General.
(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is personal in its nature and Recipient
may not assign or transfer his rights under this Agreement, except as specifically provided herein
or permitted by Eclipsys in writing.
(b) Notices. Any notices, demands or other communications required or desired to be
given by any party shall be in writing and shall be validly given to another party if served
personally or if deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid,
return receipt requested. If such notice, demand or other communication shall be served
personally, service shall be conclusively deemed made at the time of such personal service. If
such notice, demand or other communication is given by mail, such notice shall be conclusively
deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after the deposit thereof in the United States mail addressed
to the party to whom such notice, demand or other communication is to be given as hereinafter set
forth:
To Eclipsys: |
Eclipsys, Inc. 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 Attention: General Counsel |
|
To Recipient: |
At his address of record as maintained in Eclipsys’s employment files |
Any party may change its address for the purpose of receiving notices, demands and other
communications by providing written notice to the other party in the manner described in this
paragraph.
(c) Entire Agreement. Except as this Agreement and/or another written agreement
between Eclipsys and Recipient may expressly provide otherwise, this Agreement, the Plan, and any
Grant Notices constitute the entire agreement and understanding of Eclipsys (together with its
Affiliates) and Recipient with respect to Restricted Stock, and supersede all prior written or
verbal agreements and understandings between Recipient and Eclipsys (together with its Affiliates)
relating to such subject matter. Recipient has not received and is not relying upon, and will not
rely upon, any representations by any employee of or counsel to or other representative of Eclipsys
or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or any grant of Restricted Stock
hereunder. This Agreement may only be amended by written instrument signed by Recipient and an
authorized officer of Eclipsys.
(d) Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted
under the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and to be wholly
performed within the State of Delaware. If any provision of this Agreement as applied to any party
or to any circumstance is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable
for any reason, the invalidity of that provision shall in no way affect (to the maximum extent
permissible by law) the application of such provision under circumstances different from those
adjudicated by the court, the application of any other provision of this Agreement, or the
enforceability or invalidity of this Agreement as a whole. If any provision of this Agreement
becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by
5
Restricted Stock Agreement
- date
reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage, then such provision shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or,
if such provision cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties,
then such provision will be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect.
(e) Remedies. All rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement or by law
shall be cumulative, and no such right or remedy shall be exclusive of any other. A party may
pursue any one or more rights or remedies hereunder or may seek damages or specific performance in
the event of another party’s breach hereunder or may pursue any other remedy by law or equity,
whether or not stated in this Agreement.
(f) Arbitration. Any and all disputes and claims between Recipient and Eclipsys that
arise out of this Agreement shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration. Any claim
under this Agreement must be commenced by a claimant within 365 days of the date on which the cause
of action accrues (unless a contractual limitation on duration of claims is impermissible or a
longer period of time is required by law, in which case the end of the minimum required period will
be the deadline for commencing claims), or it will be deemed waived. Binding arbitration will be
conducted in Atlanta, Georgia in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American
Arbitration Association. Recipient understands and agrees that the arbitration shall be instead of
any civil litigation and that this means that Recipient is waiving Recipient’s right to a jury
trial as to such claims. The parties further understand and agree that the arbitrator’s decision
shall be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law and enforceable by any court
having jurisdiction. If and to the extent necessary to make this arbitration provision
enforceable, Eclipsys shall pay the arbitrator’s compensation and any fees for the arbitration,
unless the arbitrator directs otherwise in the award, or unless the law where the arbitration
occurs provides otherwise.
(g) Interpretation. Headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not
constitute a part of this Agreement, and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement. References herein to Sections are references to the referenced Section hereof, unless
otherwise specified.
(h) Waivers; Amendments. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of
this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any later breach of that provision.
This Agreement may be modified only by written agreement signed by Recipient and Eclipsys.
(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument. Facsimile or photographic copies of originally signed copies of this Agreement
will be deemed to be originals.
