TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

 

The Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) granted by IRADIMED CORPORATION (the “Company”) to the Grantee specified in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) to which these Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Terms”) are attached, is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice, and these Terms.  The terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated by reference in their entirety into these Terms.  Together, the Notice and these Terms constitute the “Agreement.”  A Prospectus describing the Plan has been delivered to the Grantee.  The Plan itself is available upon request.  When used in this Agreement, the terms which are defined in the Plan shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan, as modified herein (if applicable).

 

This Award is conditioned upon the Grantee’s acceptance of the provisions set forth in this Agreement within 60 days after the Agreement is presented to the Grantee for review.  For purposes this Agreement, any reference to the Company shall include a reference to any Affiliate.

 

1.                                      Grant of Units.

 

(a)                                 As of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice, the Company grants to the Grantee the number Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) set forth in the Notice.  Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of Stock at a future date after the Unit has become earned and vested, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 The Units covered by this Award shall become earned and vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice.  Each earned and vested Unit shall be settled on the date(s) specified in the Notice by issuance of one share of Stock on or as soon as administratively practicable (but no more than 60 days) after the applicable vesting and/or settlement date specified in the Notice, subject to the requirements of (i) Section 4 (Withholding) and Section 6 (Regulatory Restrictions on the Shares Issued Upon Settlement) of this Agreement and (ii) Section 17.11 of the Plan regarding a potential six-month delay in settlement for awards to certain Grantees to the extent determined by the Company to be necessary to comply with Section 409A.

 

(c)                                  Units constitute an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company.  The Grantee shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the Units unless and until the Units become earned and vested and are settled by the issuance of shares of Stock.  Upon issuance of shares of Stock in connection with the settlement of vested Units, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the shares of Stock unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company (including voting rights).

 

(d)                                 The Grantee may designate a beneficiary to receive payment in connection with the Units in the event of the Grantee’s death in accordance with the Company’s beneficiary designation procedures, as in effect from time to time.  If the Grantee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the Grantee’s designated beneficiary does not survive the Grantee, then the Grantee’s beneficiary will be the Grantee’s estate.

 

2.                                      Restrictions.  Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement, until such time as the Units become earned and vested and are settled in shares of Stock in accordance with Section 1, the Units or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Units or the rights relating thereto shall be wholly ineffective and, if any such attempt is made, the Units will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the Grantee’s rights to such Units shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration by the Company.

3.                                      Cancellation of Rights.  If any portion of the Units fail to become earned and vested (for example, because the Grantee fails to satisfy the vesting conditions specified in the Notice prior to a Separation from Service), then such Units shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of such failure and all of the Grantee’s rights to such Units shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration by the Company.

 

4.                                      Withholding.

 

(a)                                 Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting of the Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

 

(b)                                 Prior to vesting of the Units, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company or from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Stock.  Alternatively, or in addition, to the extent permissible under applicable law, the Company may (i) sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Stock that the Grantee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (ii) withhold in shares of Stock, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount.  Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue and deliver shares of Stock in payment of any earned and vested Units if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 4.

 

5.                                      Grantee Representations.  The Grantee hereby represents to the Company that the Grantee has read and fully understands the provisions of this Agreement, the Prospectus and the Plan, and the Grantee’s decision to participate in the Plan is completely voluntary.  Further, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is relying solely on his or her own advisors with respect to the tax consequences of this Award.

 

6.                                      Regulatory Restrictions on the Shares Issued Upon Settlement.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to impose such conditions, restrictions and limitations on the issuance of shares of Stock with respect to this Award unless and until the Committee determines that such issuance complies with (i) any applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act or the Committee has determined that an exemption therefrom is available, (ii) any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed, (iii) any applicable Company policy or administrative rules, and (iv) any other applicable provision of state, federal or foreign law, including foreign securities laws where applicable.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.  This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Committee, provided that no amendment may, without the consent of the Grantee, materially impair the Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award.

(k)                                 Dispute Resolution.

 

(i)                                     Arbitration.  If any controversy or claim arising out of this award cannot be resolved by the Grantee and the Company (each a “party” and collectively, the “parties”), such conflict or claim shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association governing commercial disputes.  Such matters will be arbitrated in the Orlando metropolitan area and, for purposes of these Terms, each party consents to arbitration in such place.  Arbitration proceedings shall commence when either party notifies the other that a dispute to arbitration exists and requests that the dispute be arbitrated.  If the parties to the dispute cannot within thirty (30) days after the request for arbitration is made mutually agree upon an arbitrator or arbitrators to settle the dispute, each party to the dispute shall select an arbitrator.  The two arbitrators shall, within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the last arbitrator, select a third arbitrator and the three arbitrators shall determine the matter.  Each arbitrator shall act impartially.  If for any reason an arbitrator is not appointed within the time provided or the arbitrators appointed by the parties cannot agree upon a third arbitrator, then an arbitrator shall be appointed by the Circuit Court of Florida for the County of Orange in accordance with applicable state law.  Unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, any arbitrator selected will be familiar with equity compensation disputes.  The final decision will be that of the sole arbitrator or of the majority of the arbitrators, and shall be final and binding upon the parties, except as otherwise provided by law.  The sole arbitrator or the majority of arbitrators shall also determine the allocation of costs of the arbitration among the parties, and shall have the right to award to the prevailing party all cost of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

(ii)                                  Jurisdiction and Venue.  For purposes of enforcing the award or decision in any arbitration proceeding, each party hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of Florida state courts located in the city of Orlando or the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.  In that regard, each party hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that these Terms or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (ii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other party. Final judgment against any party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.

 

(l)                                     Confidentiality.  The Grantee agrees that the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock award reflected in the Notice and these Terms are strictly confidential and, with the exception of Grantee’s counsel, tax advisor, immediate family, or as required by applicable law, have not and shall not be disclosed, discussed, or revealed to any other persons, entities, or organizations, whether within or outside Company, without prior written approval of Company.  The Grantee further agrees to take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that confidentiality is maintained by any of the individuals or entities referenced above to whom disclosure is authorized.
