ENTERPRISE
BANCORP, INC.


 


Restricted Stock Agreement


 


This Agreement is entered
into as of this Xth day of XXXXX, 20XX (the “Grant Date”) by and between
Enterprise Bancorp, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), and
                                                                                              
(the “Grantee”).


 


WITNESSETH THAT:


 


WHEREAS, the Company has
instituted a program entitled “Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. 2009 Stock
Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”); and


 


WHEREAS, the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors, or the full Board of Directors, as the
case may be, of the Company has authorized the grant of shares of the Company’s
common stock to the Grantee upon the terms and conditions set forth below; and


 


WHEREAS, the Compensation
Committee or the full Board of Directors, as the case may be, has authorized
the grant of shares of the Company’s common stock to the Grantee pursuant and
subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and
incorporated herein;


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein
contained, the Company and the Grantee agree as follows.


 


1.                                       Grant.  Subject to the terms of the Plan and this
Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee, and the Grantee hereby
accepts,                 
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Restricted
Stock”).  The term “Restricted Stock”
shall include any additional shares of stock of the Company issued on account
of the foregoing shares by reason of stock dividends, stock splits or
recapitalizations (whether by way of mergers, consolidations, combinations or
exchanges of shares or the like).


 


2.                                       Vesting
Schedule.  The interest of the
Grantee in the Restricted Stock shall vest in accordance with the schedule
attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 1, which is incorporated herein and
made a part hereof by this reference; provided, however, that such vesting of
shares of the Restricted Stock shall be and hereby is conditioned upon the
Grantee’s continuing employment with the Company and continuing compliance with
all applicable employee confidentiality, noncompetition and other agreements
with the Company and any of its subsidiaries as of each date upon which such
vesting shall occur in accordance with such schedule.


 


3.                                       Restrictions
on Stock.  Until the termination of
restrictions and the vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock as provided in Section 2
above, none of the Restricted Stock may be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged, or otherwise encumbered except as provided in this Agreement.


 


 If the Grantee’s employment with the Company
is terminated for any reason, whether with or without cause and whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, then all shares of Restricted Stock that have not
yet vested as of the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment, if any, 


 

















 


shall be forfeited and
returned to the Company, unless the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors, or the full Board of Directors, as the case may be, of the Company,
in its sole discretion shall otherwise determine.


 


4.                                       Rights
as Stockholder.  Except for the
restrictions and other limitations and conditions provided in this Agreement,
the Grantee as owner of the Restricted Stock shall have all the rights of a
stockholder, including but not limited to the right to receive all dividends
paid on such Restricted Stock and the right to vote all of the shares of such
Restricted Stock.


 


5.                                       Stock
Certificates.  Each certificate
issued for shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the
Grantee and deposited by the Grantee, together with a stock power endorsed in
blank, with the Company or its duly appointed transfer agent and shall bear the
following (or a similar) legend:


 


The transferability of
this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the
terms, conditions and restrictions (including forfeiture) contained in a
Restricted Stock Agreement between the registered owner and Enterprise Bancorp, Inc.  A copy of such Restricted Stock Agreement
will be furnished to the holder of this certificate upon written request and
without charge.


 


Upon the termination of
the restrictions imposed under this Agreement as to any shares of Restricted
Stock, the Company shall return to the Grantee (or to such Grantee’s legal
representative, beneficiary or heir) certificates, without a legend, for the
shares of common stock deposited with it or its transfer agent pursuant to this
Section 5 as to which the restrictions have been terminated.


 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if and to the extent that the Company also provides to its
shareholders generally a means to hold title to shares on a noncertificated
basis, then the shares of Restricted Stock issued to the Grantee under this
Agreement may be issued on such a noncertificated basis if mutually agreed upon
by the Company and the Grantee and otherwise permissible under applicable law
and the rules of any applicable stock exchange.  If any such shares of Restricted Stock are so
issued on a noncertificated basis, then the Company shall adopt alternative
measures in lieu of the foregoing stock certificate legend to ensure that the
restrictions on such shares of Restricted Stock required under this Agreement
are properly observed.


 


6.                                       Tax
Consequences; Withholding.  The
Grantee has reviewed with the Grantee’s own tax advisors the federal, state,
local and foreign tax consequences of the investment and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.  The
Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or
representations of the Company or any of its agents or representatives.  The Grantee understands that the Grantee
shall be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out
of this grant or the vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock hereunder.  The Company shall have the right to deduct
from amounts otherwise payable to the Grantee, or to require the Grantee to pay,
any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock.


 


7.                                       Notice
of Election Under Section 83(b). 
If the Grantee makes an election under Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and rulings 


 


2

















 


promulgated thereunder,
he will provide a copy thereof to the Company within thirty days of the filing
of such election with the Internal Revenue Service.


 


8.                                       Securities
and Other Laws; Lock-Up Agreement. 
In any case in which in the opinion of the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors, or the full Board of Directors, as the case may be, of the
Company, the issue and/or delivery of shares of common stock under this
Agreement would violate requirements of federal or state securities or other
laws, or the requirements of any securities exchange on which the stock is
listed, the Company shall be entitled to postpone such issue and/or delivery
until such requirements have been met. 
The Compensation Committee or the full Board of Directors, as the case
may be, may require representations and agreements from the Grantee in order to
ensure such compliance with federal or state securities or other laws or the
requirements of any securities exchange.


 


The Grantee hereby further
agrees that as a condition to his receipt of the Restricted Stock, he will
execute an agreement in a form acceptable to the Company to the effect that the
shares of such Restricted Stock shall be subject to any underwriter’s lock-up
agreement in connection with a public offering of any securities of the Company
that may from time to time apply to shares held by officers and employees of
the Company, and such agreement or a successor agreement must be in full force
and effect.


 


9.                                       Grantee’s
Investment Representations.  Grantee
represents that he is acquiring the shares of Restricted Stock for his own
account for investment purposes and not with a view towards distribution of the
shares to the public.


 


10.                                 Adjustment
in Provisions.  In the event that
there are any changes in the outstanding common stock of the Company by reason
of stock dividends, stock splits, or recapitalizations (whether by way of
mergers, consolidations, combinations, or exchanges of shares or the like), the
divisions of shares of Restricted Stock into parts, the provisions for termination
of restrictions on parts of Restricted Stock, and any other relevant portions
of this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted by the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors, or the full Board of Directors, as the case may be,
of the Company, if necessary, to reflect equitably such change or changes.


 


11.                                 [Intentionally Omitted]


 


12.                               Termination
or Amendment of Plan.  The Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors, or the full Board of Directors, as the
case may be, of the Company may terminate or amend the Plan at any time.  No such termination or amendment will affect the
parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, as and to the
extent that this Agreement then remains in effect.


 


13.                               Effect
Upon Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement
or the Plan shall be construed to impose any obligation upon the Company or any
of its subsidiaries to employ the Grantee or to retain the Grantee in its
employ.


 


14.                               [Intentionally Omitted]

written agreement duly signed by each of the parties; provided, however, that a
modification or amendment that does not materially diminish the rights of the Grantee
hereunder, as they may exist immediately before the effective date of the
modification or amendment, shall be effective upon written notice of its
provisions to the Grantee.  The waiver by
either of the parties hereto of any provision hereof in any instance shall not
operate as a waiver of any other provision hereof or in any other instance.

Effect.  This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
