RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT


 


REDDY ICE HOLDINGS, INC.

2005 LONG TERM INCENTIVE AND

SHARE AWARD PLAN, AS AMENDED


 


GRANTEE: [          ]


 


NO. OF SHARES: [          ]


 


This Agreement (the “Agreement”)
evidences the award of 26,000 restricted
shares (each, an “Award Share,” and
collectively, the “Award Shares”) of the common
stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”),
of Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), granted to you, [          ], effective as of April 14, 2009
(the “Grant Date”), pursuant to the
Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. 2005 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan, as
amended (the “Plan”) and conditioned upon
your agreement to the terms described below. 
All of the provisions of the Plan are expressly incorporated into this
Agreement.


 


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


 


2.                                       Vesting.


 


(a)                                  All
of the Award Shares are nonvested and forfeitable as of the Grant Date.


 


(b)                                 So
long as your Service with the Company is continuous from the Grant Date through
the applicable date upon which vesting is scheduled to occur, 33.3% of the
Award Shares will vest and become nonforfeitable on January 1, 2010, 33.3%
of the Award Shares will vest and become nonforfeitable on January 1,
2011, and the remaining Award Shares will vest and become nonforfeitable on January 1,
2012, such that 100% of the Award Shares will be vested and nonforfeitable on January 1,
2012 (each a “Vesting Date”).  The extent to
which the Award Shares are vested and nonforfeitable as of a particular date is
rounded down to the nearest whole share. 
However, vesting and nonforfeitability is rounded up to 100% on the
final Vesting Date.


 


(c)                                  Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, none of the Award Shares will become
vested and nonforfeitable after your Service with the Company ceases.


 


(d)                                 If
before all of your Award Shares vest and become nonforfeitable, your Service
with the Company terminates as a result of your death, then as of such
termination you shall be deemed to be vested in a number of Award Shares under Section 2(b) equal
to (i) the total number of Award Shares that would vest and become
nonforfeitable upon the next scheduled Vesting Date, multiplied by (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days measured from the
last Vesting Date to the date that your Service terminates and the denominator
of which is 365.


 


(e)                                  If
before all of your Award Shares vest and become nonforfeitable, your Service
with the Company terminates as a result of your Disability, your termination by
the Company without Cause, or 


 


1

















 


your termination with Good Reason, then as of such termination you
shall be deemed to have continued Service for an additional [  ] months (the “Deemed
Service Period”) for purposes vesting and nonforfeitability of
Award Shares under Section 2(b). 
Any Award Shares which would have vested and become nonforfeitable
during the Deemed Service Period shall vest and become nonforfeitable
immediately upon the termination of your Service as contemplated by this Section 2(e).


 


3.                                       Restrictions
on Transfer.


 


(a)                                  Until
an Award Share becomes vested and nonforfeitable, it may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or disposed of in any way (whether by
operation of law or otherwise), except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar
process.


 


(b)                                 Any
attempt to dispose of any such Award Shares in contravention of the
restrictions set forth in Section 3(a) shall be null and void and
without effect.  The Company shall not be
required to (i) transfer on its books any Award Shares that have been sold
or transferred in contravention of this Agreement or (ii) treat as the
owner of Award Shares, or otherwise accord voting, dividend or liquidation
rights to, any transferee to whom Award Shares have been transferred in
contravention of this Agreement.


 


4.                                       Stock
Certificates.  You are reflected as
the owner of record of the Award Shares as of the Grant Date on the Company’s
books.  The Company or an escrow agent
appointed by the Committee will hold in escrow the share certificates for
safekeeping, or the Company may otherwise retain the Award Shares in
uncertificated book entry form, until the Award Shares become vested and
nonforfeitable.  Until the Award Shares
become vested and nonforfeitable, any share certificates representing such
shares will include a legend to the effect that you may not sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, or hypothecate the Award Shares.  All regular cash dividends on the Award
Shares held by the Company will be paid directly to you on the dividend payment
date.  As soon as practicable after
vesting of the Award Shares, the Company will deliver a share certificate to
you, or deliver shares electronically or in certificate form to your designated
broker on your behalf, for such vested Award Shares.  Upon the request of the Committee, you shall
deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to any
Award Shares that have been forfeited pursuant to this Agreement.


 


5.                                       Tax
Election and Tax Withholding.


 


(a)                                  You
hereby agree to make adequate provision for foreign, federal, state and local
taxes required by law to be withheld, if any, which arise in connection with
the grant of the Award Shares.  The
Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation or any other
payment of any kind due you (including withholding the issuance or delivery of
shares of Common Stock or redeeming Award Shares) the amount of any federal,
state, local or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld as a result of the
grant of the Award Shares in whole or in part; provided, however, that the
value of the shares of Common Stock withheld or redeemed may not exceed the
statutory minimum withholding amount required by law.  In lieu of such deduction, the Company may
require you to make a cash payment to the Company equal to the amount required
to be withheld.  If you do not make such
payment when requested, the Company may refuse to issue any Common Stock
certificate under this Agreement until arrangements satisfactory to the
Committee for such payment have been made.


 


(b)                                 You
hereby acknowledge that you have been advised by the Company to seek
independent tax advice from your own advisors regarding the availability and
advisability of making an election under Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that any such election, if made,
must be made within 30 days of the Grant Date. 
You expressly acknowledge that you are solely responsible for filing any
such Section 83(b) election with the appropriate governmental
authorities, irrespective of the fact that such election is also delivered to
the Company.  You may not rely on the
Company or any of its officers, directors or employees for tax or legal advice
regarding this award.  


 


2

















 


You acknowledge that you have sought tax and legal advice from your own
advisors regarding this award or have voluntarily and knowingly foregone such
consultation.


 


6.                                       Adjustments
for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.


 


(a)                                  Stock Dividend, Stock Split and Reverse
Stock Split.  Upon a stock dividend
of, or stock split or reverse stock split affecting, the Common Stock, the
number of Award Shares and the number of such Award Shares that are nonvested
and forfeitable shall, without further action of the Committee, be adjusted to
reflect such event.  The Committee shall
make adjustments, in its discretion, to address the treatment of fractional
shares with respect to the Award Shares as a result of the stock dividend,
stock split or reverse stock split; provided that such adjustments do not
result in the issuance of fractional Award Shares.  Adjustments under this Section 6 will be
made by the Committee, whose determination as to what adjustments, if any, will
be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding and conclusive.


 


(b)                                 Binding Nature of Agreement. 
The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply with equal force
to any additional and/or substitute securities received by you in exchange for,
or by virtue of your ownership of, the Award Shares, to the same extent as the
Award Shares with respect to which such additional and/or substitute securities
are distributed, whether as a result of any spin-off, stock split-up, stock
dividend, stock distribution, other reclassification of the Common Stock of the
Company, or similar event, except as otherwise determined by the
Committee.  If the Award Shares are
converted into or exchanged for, or stockholders of the Company receive by
reason of any distribution in total or partial liquidation or pursuant to any
merger of the Company or acquisition of its assets, securities of another
entity, or other property (including cash), then the rights of the Company
under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor, and
this Agreement shall apply to the securities or other property (including cash)
received upon such conversion, exchange or distribution in the same manner and
to the same extent as the Award Shares.


 


7.                                       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 Award Shares or any other adverse effect on your interests
under the Plan.


 


8.                                       Rights
as Stockholder.  Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement with respect to the nonvested and forfeitable Award
Shares, you will possess all incidents of ownership of the Award Shares, including
the right to vote the Award Shares and receive dividends and/or other
distributions declared on the Award Shares.


 


9.                                       The
Company’s Rights.  The existence of
the Award Shares 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 Common 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.                                 Notices.  All notices and other communications made or
given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently

effect on the Award Shares as determined in the discretion of the Committee,

ambiguity in this Agreement or any matters as to which this Agreement is
silent, the Plan shall govern.  A copy of
