4. Issuance of Restricted Stock.  The Restricted Stock shall be issued by the Company and shall be registered in Participant’s name on the stock transfer books of the Company promptly after the Grant Date.  Any certificates representing Restricted Stock shall remain in the physical custody of the Company or its designee at all times prior to, in the case of any particular Share of the Restricted Stock, the date on which such Share vests.  Any certificates representing Restricted Stock shall have affixed thereto a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends that may be required under federal or state securities laws:

Transfer of this certificate and the shares represented hereby is restricted pursuant to the terms of the Triumph Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan and a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, dated as of ____________, between Triumph Bancorp, Inc. and ______________.  A copy of such Agreement is on file at the offices of Triumph Bancorp, Inc.

 




 

As soon as practicable following the vesting of any Restricted Stock, the Company shall ensure that its stock transfer books reflect the vesting. If certificates for the Restricted Stock exist, such certificates for such vested Restricted Stock shall be delivered to Participant or to Participant’s legal representative along with the stock powers relating thereto.

5. Dividend and Voting Rights.  After the Grant Date, Participant shall be the record owner of the Restricted Stock, unless and until such Restricted Stock is forfeited pursuant to Participant’s Termination of Service or sold or otherwise disposed of after becoming vested, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a common stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights; provided that (a) any cash dividends paid with respect to Restricted Stock shall be withheld by the Company and shall be deemed to be reinvested in additional Shares of Restricted Stock, and (b) in the case of a dividend paid in Shares, any such additional Shares shall become Restricted Stock, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) with such additional Shares of Restricted Stock to be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions, restrictions, and schedule as applied to the Restricted Stock with respect to which the applicable dividend was paid.

6. Transferability.  The Restricted Stock may not, at any time prior to becoming vested, be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.
