NUPATHE INC.

2010 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN




RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT



This RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of                      (the “Date
of Grant”), is delivered by NuPathe Inc. (the “Company”), to                                          (the “Grantee”).



RECITALS




A. The NuPathe Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the
grant of restricted stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has decided to make a restricted stock grant as an
inducement for the Grantee to promote the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. A
copy of the prospectus has been delivered to the Grantee and the Grantee acknowledges receipt of
such prospectus.



B. The Board is authorized to appoint a committee to administer the Plan. If a committee is
appointed, all references in this Agreement to the “Board” shall be deemed to refer to the
committee.



NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as
follows:



1. Restricted Stock Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement
and the Plan, the Company hereby grants the Grantee                      shares of common stock of the Company,
subject to the restrictions set forth below and in the Plan (the “Restricted Stock”). Shares of
Restricted Stock may not be transferred by the Grantee or subjected to any security interest until
the shares have become vested pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan.




2. Vesting and Nonassignability of Restricted Stock.




(a) The shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested, and the restrictions described in
Sections 2(b) and 2(c) shall lapse, according to the following vesting schedule, if the Grantee
continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer (as defined in the Plan) from the
Date of Grant until the applicable vesting date:



[Insert Vesting Schedule]




The vesting of the Restricted Stock shall be cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the shares.
If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional shares, the number of shares of Restricted Stock
that vest shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.



 


 









 








(b) If the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer for any
reason before the Restricted Stock fully vests, the shares of Restricted Stock that are not then
vested shall be forfeited and must be immediately returned to the Company.



(c) During the period before the shares of Restricted Stock vest (the “Restriction Period”),
the non-vested Restricted Stock may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of
by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares
contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process
upon the shares, shall be null, void and without effect.



3. Issuance of Certificates.




(a) Stock certificates representing the Restricted Stock may be issued by the Company and held
in escrow by the Company until the Restricted Stock vests, or the Company may hold non-certificated
shares until the Restricted Stock vests. During the Restriction Period, the Grantee shall receive
any cash dividends with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, may vote the shares of
Restricted Stock and may participate in any distribution pursuant to a plan of dissolution or
complete liquidation of the Company. In the event of a dividend or distribution payable in stock
or other property or a reclassification, split up or similar event during the Restriction Period,
the shares or other property issued or declared with respect to the non-vested shares of Restricted
Stock shall be subject to the same terms and conditions relating to vesting as the shares to which
they relate.



(b) When the Grantee obtains a vested right to shares of Restricted Stock, a certificate
representing the vested shares shall be issued to the Grantee, free of the restrictions under
Section 2 of this Agreement.



(c) The obligation of the Company to deliver shares upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock
shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by governmental
agencies as may be deemed appropriately to comply with relevant securities laws and regulations.



4. Change of Control. The provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control (as
defined in the Plan) shall apply to the Restricted Stock, and, in the event of a Change of Control,
the Board may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.




5. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of
which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance
with the Plan. The grant is subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning
the Plan established from time to time by the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Plan,
including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and obligations with respect to
withholding taxes, (b) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares, (c) changes in
capitalization of the Company, and (d) other requirements of applicable law. The Board shall have
the authority to interpret and construe the grant pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its
decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.

6. Withholding. The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Company, or make other
arrangements satisfactory to the Company to provide for the payment of, any federal, state, local
or other taxes that the Employer is required to withhold with respect to the grant or vesting of
the Restricted Stock. Subject to Board approval, the Grantee may elect to satisfy any tax
withholding obligation of the Employer with respect to the Restricted Stock by having shares
withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for
federal (including FICA), state, local and other tax liabilities.




7. Section 83(b) Election. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that the Grantee has been
informed that, with respect to the Restricted Stock, the Grantee may file an election with the
Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the execution of this Agreement, electing pursuant to
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) to be taxed currently
on any difference between the purchase price of the Restricted Stock and their fair market value on
the date of purchase. Absent such an election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by
the Grantee at the time or times at which the forfeiture restrictions on the Restricted Stock
lapse. The Grantee is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his own tax consultants in
connection with the issuance of the Restricted Stock and the advisability of filing of the election
under Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as
Exhibit A for reference.




THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS NOT THE COMPANY’S, BUT RATHER THE GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY
TO FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) TIMELY.




8. No Employment or Other Rights. This grant shall not confer upon the Grantee any right
to be retained by or in the employ or service of the Employer and shall not interfere in any way
with the right of the Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time. The
right of the Employer to terminate at will the Grantee’s employment or service at any time for any
reason is specifically reserved.




9. Assignment by Company. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend
to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and
affiliates. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without the Grantee’s consent.




10. Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this
instrument shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.




11. Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be addressed
to the Company in care of the President at 227 Washington Avenue, Suite 200, Conshohocken, PA
19428, and any notice to the Grantee shall be addressed to such Grantee at the current address
shown on the payroll of the Employer, or to such other address as the Grantee may designate to the
Employer in writing. Any notice shall be delivered by hand, sent by telecopy or enclosed in a
properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a
post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
