ENTERPRISE
BANCORP, INC.


 


Restricted Stock Agreement


 


This Agreement is entered
into as of this XXth day of             ,
XXXX (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]


 


15.          General Provisions.

hereunder, as they may exist immediately before the effective date of the
modification or amendment, shall be effective upon written notice of its
