 2.2 Consideration to the Company. As consideration for the issuance of the Shares by the Company, the Holder agrees to remain in the employ of or
as a Consultant to the Company, with such duties and responsibilities as the Company (as applicable) shall from time to time prescribe, for a period of at least one year after the Shares are issued. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall

a Holder who is an Employee or Consultant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. 
  
 ARTICLE III. 
 RESTRICTIONS 
  
 3.1 Forfeiture. Except as described in Section 3.3(b) below,
upon the Holder’s Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy (each as defined in the Plan), all of the Unreleased Shares (as defined below) shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company (the
“Forfeiture Restriction”). 
  
 3.2 Unreleased Shares
Not Transferable. Unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the Plan, no Unreleased Shares or any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Holder or his successors in interest or shall
be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other
legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect (the “Transfer Restriction”); provided, however, that this Section 3.2 shall not prevent transfers by will
or by applicable laws of descent and distribution. In case of a permitted transfer, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and there shall be no further
transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section. Any transferee shall acknowledge the same by signing a copy of this Agreement. Transfer or sale of the Shares is subject to restrictions on transfer imposed by any
applicable state and federal securities laws.

the Forfeiture Restriction and the Transfer Restriction as follows: 
  
 One hundred percent (100%) of the Shares shall be released from the Forfeiture Restriction and the Transfer Restriction on the second anniversary of the Effective Date. 
  
 (b) Subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.6, the Shares shall be released from the Forfeiture Restriction and the Transfer

the Company (or any Subsidiary), or any other intentional misconduct by Holder adversely affecting the business or affairs of the Company (or Subsidiary) in a material manner. The foregoing definition shall not in any way preclude or restrict the
right of the Company (or any Subsidiary) to discharge or dismiss Holder or any other person in the service of the Company (or any Subsidiary) for any other acts or omissions, but such other acts or omissions shall not be deemed, for purposes of the
Plan and this Agreement, to constitute grounds for termination for Misconduct.

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN INFONET SERVICES CORPORATION (THE “COMPANY”) AND THE REGISTERED OWNER OF SUCH SHARES, AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OFFERED, TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED

Restriction, the Company shall cause new certificates to be issued with respect to such vested Shares and delivered to the Holder or his legal representative, free from the legend provided for in Section 3.4. Such vested Shares shall cease to be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
  
 3.6
Restrictions On New Shares. In the event that the Holder receives any new or additional or different shares or securities which are attributable to the Holder in his capacity as the registered owner of Shares then subject to Forfeiture

deduction from other compensation payable to the Holder of any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the issuance, lapsing of restrictions on or exercise of the Shares. The Board or the Committee may, in
their discretion, allow the Holder to deliver shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder duly endorsed for transfer to the Company with an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the statutory minimum sums to be withheld. The
Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing vested Shares to the Holder or his legal representative unless and until the Holder or his legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of
all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Holder resulting from the grant of the Shares or the lapse or removal of the Forfeiture Restriction and the Transfer Restriction.

holding the Shares in escrow and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment. 
  
 4.3 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary,
and any notice to be given to the Holder shall be addressed to him at the address given beneath his signature hereto. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 4.3, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to
it or him. Any notice which is required to be given to the Holder shall, if the Holder is then deceased, be given to the Holder’s personal representative if such representative has previously informed the Company of his status and address by
written notice under this Section 4.3. Any notice shall have been deemed duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly

other provision of this Agreement or the Plan, this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are
requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law and the Plan, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person or corporation, excepting only orders or process of courts of law and are hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders,
judgments or decrees of any court. In case you obey or comply with any such order, judgment or decree, you shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any
such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

further instruments in connection with these Joint Escrow Instructions or obligations in respect hereto, the necessary parties hereto shall join in furnishing such instruments.

possession of the securities held by you hereunder, you are authorized and directed to retain in your possession without liability to anyone all or any part of 

  

 12 








 
said securities until such disputes shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement of the parties concerned or by a final order, decree or
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but you shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings. 
  
 15. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and
shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the addresses set
forth on the signature pages hereto or at such other addresses as a party may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to each of the other parties hereto.

Instructions; you do not become a party to the Agreement.
