Exhibit 10.42

 

GPS CCMP ACQUISITION CORP.

2006 MANAGEMENT EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

 

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT  (this “Agreement”)  made as December 27,
2007 (the “Effective Date”),  by and between
GPS CCMP Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),  and Clement Feng (the “Executive”).

 

WHEREAS,
as a material inducement to the Company to sell and issue to the Executive the
Restricted Shares hereunder, the Executive has agreed to execute and deliver to
the Company the Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Intellectual Property
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Non-Competition Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS,
in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged;

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Purchase and Sale of
Restricted Shares.

 

(a)           Upon execution of this
Agreement and the Joinder Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Joinder Agreement”),  to the Shareholders’
Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2006, by and among the Company and the
other parties from time to time party thereto (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”),  and subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan (as defined below) and this Agreement, the Company will
issue to the Executive 389.579916  shares of class A nonvoting
common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”),  for a purchase price of $341.36  per share (the “Class A Purchase Price”).  All of such shares of Class A
Common Stock purchased by the Executive pursuant to this Agreement are referred
to herein as “Restricted
Shares”.

 

(b)           The foregoing sale and
issuance of Restricted Shares shall be deemed, for all purposes, an Award under
(and as defined in) the Company’s 2006 Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),  which is incorporated herein
by this reference and made a part of this Agreement.

 

2.             Section 83(b) Election.

 

The
parties agree that the fair market value of each share of Class A Common
Stock as of November 10, 2006, based on the appraisal report of Corporate
Valuation Advisors was the Class A Purchase Price, and that such price
represents the fair market value of each share of Class A Common Stock on
the Effective Date. The Executive, in its sole discretion, may make an election
with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)  under Section 83(b) of
the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto (the “83(b) Election”),  and in connection with the
making of such election, shall provide a copy of such form to the Company
promptly following its filing. The Executive understands that under applicable
law such election must be filed with the IRS no later than thirty (30) days
after any acquisition of the Restricted Shares to be effective. If the
Executive files an effective 83(b) Election, the excess of the fair market
value of the Restricted Shares on the date hereof (which the IRS may assert is
different from the fair market value determined by the parties) covered by such
election over the amount paid by the Executive for the Restricted Shares shall
be treated as ordinary income received by the Executive, and the Company or one
of its Subsidiaries shall withhold from the Executive’s compensation all
amounts required to be withheld under applicable law. If the Executive does not
file an 83(b) Election, future appreciation on the Restricted Shares will
generally be taxable as ordinary income when such stock vests pursuant to this
Agreement. The foregoing is merely a brief summary of complex

 

 

tax
laws and regulations, and therefore the Executive is advised to consult with
its own tax advisors regarding the purchase and holding of the Restricted
Shares.

 

3.             Executive
Representations and Warranties.

 

As
an inducement to the Company to issue the Restricted Shares to the Executive
and as a condition thereto, the Executive represents, acknowledges and agrees
(as applicable) that:

constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Executive, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy laws, insolvency laws,
moratorium laws or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by
general equitable principles, and the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement by the Executive does not and will not conflict with, violate or
cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which the Executive
is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Executive is subject;
and

 

(ii)           neither the
issuance of the Restricted Shares to the Executive nor any provision  contained
herein or in the Plan, shall entitle the Executive to remain in the employment
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or affect the right of the Company
or any Subsidiary to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for any
reason.

provisions of this Agreement.

 

(h)           Amendment and Waiver.   The provisions of this Agreement may be
amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and the
Executive and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the
