Restricted Stock Units Agreement
under the

Inventure Foods, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan

 

1.Terminology.  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, capitalized terms
used herein are defined in the Glossary at the end of this Agreement or in the
Plan.

2.Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Vesting.  All of the RSUs are nonvested and forfeitable as of the Grant
Date.  Your RSUs will become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with the
vesting schedule included in your Restricted Stock Units Notice so long as your
Service is continuous from the Grant Date through the applicable vesting date.
None of the RSUs will become vested and nonforfeitable after your Service
ceases.

(b)Termination of Service.  If your Service with the Company ceases for any
reason, all RSUs will be forfeited to the Company immediately and automatically
upon such cessation without payment of any consideration therefor and you will
have no further right, title or interest in or to such RSUs or the underlying
shares of Stock.

(c)Manner of RSU Settlement.  You are not required to make any monetary payment
(other than applicable tax withholding, if required) as a condition to
settlement of the RSUs.  The Company will issue to you, in settlement of your
RSUs and subject to satisfaction of tax withholding, the number of whole shares
of Stock that equals the number of whole RSUs that become vested, and such
vested RSUs will terminate and cease to be outstanding upon such issuance of the
shares.  Upon issuance of such shares, the Company will determine the form of
delivery (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares)
and may deliver such shares on your behalf electronically to the Company’s
designated stock plan administrator or such other broker-dealer as the Company
may choose at its sole discretion, within reason.

(d)Timing of RSU Settlement.  Your RSUs will be settled by the Company, via the
issuance of Stock as described herein, on the date that the RSUs become vested
and nonforfeitable or within sixty (60) days thereafter,  except that any RSUs
that vest immediately before the effective date of a Change in Control shall be
paid to you on the effective date of the Change in Control. However, if a
scheduled issuance date falls on a non-trading day, such issuance date shall
instead fall on the next following trading day.

3.Restrictions on Transfer.  Neither this Agreement nor any RSU may be assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, and no right hereunder may be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process.  All rights with respect to this
Agreement shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you or your guardian
or legal representative.

4.Tax Withholding.  On or before the time you receive a distribution of the
shares of Stock subject to your RSUs, or at any time thereafter as requested by
the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Stock
issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for
any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate which arise in
connection with your RSUs (the “Withholding Taxes”).

Additionally, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy all or any
portion of the Withholding Taxes obligation relating to your RSUs by any of the
following means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding from any
compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; (ii) causing you to tender
a cash payment; (iii) if the Stock is then listed for public trade on a national

WEST\275868894.1 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

securities exchange or market, permitting you to enter into a “same day sale” or
“sell to cover” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you
irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be delivered under the
Agreement to satisfy the Withholding Taxes and whereby the FINRA Dealer
irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding
Taxes directly to the Company; or (iv) withholding shares of Stock from the
shares of Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the RSUs
with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Stock are issued to
you) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that the
number of such shares of Stock so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary
to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum
statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes,
including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income if
required to avoid adverse accounting treatment.  Unless the tax withholding
obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied, the Company shall
have no obligation to deliver to you any Stock.  In the event the Company’s
obligation to withhold arises prior to the delivery to you of Stock or it is
determined after the delivery of Stock to you that the amount of the Company’s
withholding obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you
agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company
to withhold the proper amount.

5.Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.  Section 4.4 and
Section 13 of the Plan describe adjustments that may be made to RSUs as a result
of corporate transactions and the treatment of RSUs in corporate transactions.

6.Non‑Guarantee of Employment or Service Relationship.  Nothing in the Plan or
this Agreement shall alter your at‑will or other employment status or other
service relationship with the Company, nor be construed as a contract of
employment or service relationship between the Company and you, or as a
contractual right of you to continue in the employ of, or in a service
relationship with, the Company for any period of time, or as a limitation of the
right of the Company to discharge you at any time with or without cause or
notice and whether or not such discharge results in the forfeiture of any
nonvested and forfeitable RSUs or any other adverse effect on your interests
under the Plan.

7.Clawback Policy.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
all RSUs payable or shares of Stock issued in settlement of RSUs shall be
subject to any clawback policy adopted by the Company from time to time
regardless of whether the policy is adopted after the date on which the RSUs are
granted, vest, or are settled by the issuance of shares of Stock.

8.Rights as Stockholder.  You shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder
with respect to any shares of Stock that may be issued in settlement of the RSUs
until such shares of Stock have been issued to you.

9.The Company’s Rights.  This 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, or any merger or consolidation of
the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stocks with
preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Stock or the
rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or
transfer of all or any part of the Company’s assets or business, or any other
corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

10.Restrictions on Issuance of Shares.  The issuance of shares of Stock upon
settlement of the RSUs shall be subject to and in compliance with all applicable
requirements of federal, state, or foreign law with respect to such
securities.  No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such
shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state, or foreign
securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock
exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed.  The
inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction
the

authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the
lawful issuance of any shares subject to the RSUs shall relieve the Company of
any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such
requisite authority shall not have been obtained.  As a condition to the
settlement of the RSUs, the Company may require you to satisfy any
qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with
any applicable law or regulation, and to make any representation or warranty
with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

11.Notices.  All notices and other communications made or given pursuant to this
Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon

days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you
at the last address you provided to the Company, or in the case of notices
delivered to the Company by you, addressed to the Company for the attention of
its Secretary at its principal executive office or, in either case, if the
receiving party consents in advance, transmitted and received via telecopy or
via such other electronic transmission mechanism as may be available to the
parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan
and this award by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in
the Plan or accept this award by electronic means.  You hereby consent to
receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to
participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and
maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

12.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the relevant Notice and the
Plan, contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the award

written inducements, or other communications made prior to the execution of this
Agreement with respect to the terms hereof shall be void and ineffective for all
purposes.

13.Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Company in

document signed by each of the parties hereto.

14.Section 409A.  This Agreement and the RSUs are intended to be exempt from
Section 409A under the “short-term deferral rule” exemption.  The preceding
provision shall not be construed as a guarantee by the Company of any particular
tax effect of this Agreement and in no event shall the Company be liable for any
portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred
by you on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

15.No Obligation to Minimize Taxes.  The Company has no duty or obligation to
minimize the tax consequences to you of this award and shall not be liable to
you for any adverse tax consequences to you arising in connection with this
award.  You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, financial
and/or legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of this award and by
signing the Notice, you have agreed that you have done so or knowingly and
voluntarily declined to do so.

16.Conformity with Plan.  This Agreement is intended to conform in all respects
with, and is subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan. Inconsistencies
between this Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the
terms of the Plan.  In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement or any
matters as to which this Agreement is silent, the Plan shall govern.

17.No Funding.  This Agreement constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise by
the Company to issue shares of Stock or make payments in the future in
accordance with its terms.  You have the status of a general unsecured creditor
of the Company as a result of receiving this award.

Agreement shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other
similar terms used when calculating your benefits under any employee benefit

or terminate any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s employee benefit plans.

discretion, and any such determination or any other determination by the

Administrator of the terms of this Agreement, will be final, binding and

not resolve any dispute or disagreement arising under, as a result of, pursuant

commenced or maintained relating to this Agreement more than twenty-four (24)
