granted under this Award according to the following vesting schedule

	 	 	 	 	 
	Vesting Date	 	 	Percentage of Shares Vesting

(b) Vesting upon Termination. No Shares shall be vested on an accelerated basis if
you incur a Termination of Service on account of any reason.

Additional Provisions

2. Non-Transferability of Award. During the period before the Shares vest, you may
not assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares prior to vesting. Any attempt to
assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the unvested Shares contrary to the provisions
hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the unvested Shares,

3. Right to Vote and to Receive Dividends. You will have the right to vote unvested
Shares and receive any dividends or other distributions paid on unvested Shares. In the event of a

similar event during the period in which the Shares are unvested, the shares or other property
issued or delivered with respect to the unvested Shares shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions relating to vesting as the Shares to which they relate.

4. Forfeiture of Shares. If you incur a Termination of Service for any reason before
the Shares are fully vested, the Shares that are not then vested shall be forfeited and must be
immediately returned to the Company. In addition, if the Committee determines, in good faith, that
you have breached any non-compete, non-solicitation or confidentiality agreement with the Company
at any time, you will immediately forfeit all unvested Shares and all vested Shares, and all Shares
must be immediately returned to the Company.

5. Change of Control. The provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control
shall apply to the Shares, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take such
actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.

 

 

 

6. Incorporation by Reference; Definitions. This Award shall be subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event
of any contradiction, distinction or difference between this Award Agreement and the terms of the
Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Except as otherwise defined in this Award Agreement, the
terms used in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. The Award is
subject to the interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from
time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not
limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) rights and obligations with respect to the withholding of
taxes, (ii) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares, (iii) changes in
capitalization of the Company, and (iv) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall
have the authority to interpret and construe the Award pursuant to the terms of the Plan, its
decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder, and your acceptance of this
Award is you agreement to be bound by the interpretations and decisions of the Committee with
respect to this Award and the Plan.

7. Issuance of Certificates.

(b) When you obtain a vested right to the Shares, the vested Shares shall be issued to you in
electronic form, free of the restrictions under Paragraph 1 of this Award.

satisfactory to the Company to provide for the payment of, any federal, state, local or other taxes
that the Company is required to withhold with respect to the grant or vesting of this Award.
Subject to Committee approval, you may elect to satisfy any tax withholding obligation of the
Company with respect to this Award by having shares withheld up to an
amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including
FICA), state, local and other tax liabilities.

9. No Employment or Other Rights. This Award shall not confer upon you any right to
be retained by or in the employ or service of the Company or its parent or subsidiaries, and shall
not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its parent or subsidiaries to terminate
your employment or service at any time. The right of the Company or its parent or subsidiaries to

10. Assignment by Company. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall
extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parent or subsidiaries and
affiliates. This Award may be assigned by the Company without your consent.

11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be made under and shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

Exhibit 10.15

STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

On this, the
 _____ 

day of
 _____, 20_____, ICG Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ICG”), hereby
grants to
 _____
a Stock Unit Award (the “Award”), of
 _____ 

stock units (the “Restricted
Units”) under the ICG 2005 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). Each
Restricted Unit represents your right to receive one share of common stock of ICG (the “Common
Stock”) on a future redemption date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement and the Plan.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. Restricted Unit Account. ICG shall establish and maintain a Restricted Unit account
(the “Account”) for you and shall record in such Account the number of Restricted Units granted to
you. You shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of ICG by reason of this Award
or the Account established for you.

2. Vesting.

(a) You will become vested in your right to the Restricted Units granted under this Award
according to the following vesting schedule, provided you do not incur a termination of service or
employment with the Company (as defined in the Plan) prior to the applicable vesting date:

	 	 	 
	Vesting Date	 	Percentage of Restricted Units Vesting
	 
	 
	 	100%

(b) If your service or employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to your
vesting in any of the Restricted Units as provided in subparagraph (a), the Restricted Units that
are not vested as of your termination of service or employment shall terminate and you shall not
have any redemption rights with respect to any of such unvested Restricted Units.

3. Redemption. Within thirty (30) days following the date of your termination of service
or employment with the Company (the “Redemption Date”), the Company shall redeem all of the vested
Restricted Units, as provided in Paragraph 2, in accordance with this Paragraph 3, unless delay is
required pursuant to Paragraph 17(b) below or a Change of Control (as defined in Paragraph 7)
occurs prior to the Redemption Date. On the Redemption Date, all vested Restricted Units in your
Account will be converted to an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, and you shall receive
a single sum distribution of such shares of Common Stock, which shall be issued under the Plan.

4. Dividend Equivalents. Until such time as the Restricted Units are redeemed or
forfeited, if any dividends are declared with respect to the shares of Common Stock, ICG shall pay
to you, in the same form, and at the same time, that dividends are paid to the stockholders of ICG,
the amount of the dividend that would have been distributed if the Restricted Units credited to
your Account at the time of the declaration of the dividend were shares of Common Stock of ICG,
irrespective of whether such Restricted Units have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2.

 

 

 

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

5. Non-Transferability of Award. No Restricted Units awarded to you under this Agreement
may be transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or exercised by you and a Restricted Unit may be
redeemed during your lifetime only by you. Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, or encumber
the Restricted Unit by you shall be null, void and without effect.

6. No Rights as Stockholder. You shall not have any rights as a stockholder of ICG,
including the right to any dividends (except as provided in Paragraph 4), or the right to vote,
with respect to any Restricted Units.

7. Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs prior to the Redemption Date, all of
your Restricted Units will be converted to an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock and
distributed to you in a single sum upon the occurrence of the Change of Control. For this purpose,
a Change of Control shall have the same meaning as such term is defined in the Plan; provided,
however, that a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Change of Control
does not constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of ICG, or in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the assets of ICG, within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and its corresponding regulations.

8. Incorporation by Reference; Definitions. This Award shall be subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event
of any contradiction, distinction or difference between this Stock Unit Award Agreement and the
terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Except as otherwise defined in this Stock
Unit Award Agreement, the terms used in this Stock Unit Award Agreement shall have the meanings set
forth in the Plan. The Award is subject to the interpretations, regulations and determinations
concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) rights and
obligations with respect to the withholding of taxes, (ii) the registration, qualification or
listing of the shares, (iii) changes in capitalization of ICG, and (iv) other requirements of
applicable law. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Award
pursuant to the terms of the Plan, its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising
hereunder, and your acceptance of this Award is you agreement to be bound by the interpretations
and decisions of the Committee with respect to this Award and the Plan.

9. Restrictions on Issuance or Transfer of Shares of Common Stock.

(a) The obligation of ICG to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the redemption of the
Restricted Units shall be subject to the condition that if at any time the Committee shall
determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common
Stock upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of
any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection
with, the issue of shares of Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock may not be issued in whole or
in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. The issuance of
Restricted Units and of shares of Common Stock to you on the Redemption Date is subject to
any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state having
jurisdiction thereof.

 

 

 

(b) You agree to be bound by ICG’s policies regarding the transfer of the shares of Common
Stock and understand that there may be certain times during the year in which you will be
prohibited from selling, transferring, pledging, donating, assigning, mortgaging, hypothecating or
encumbering the shares of Common Stock.

(c) On the Redemption Date, a certificate representing the shares of Common Stock that are
redeemed shall be issued to you or, if allowed, the shares of Common Stock will be delivered
electronically to an account designated by you.

10. Withholding. To the extent required by applicable law, you are required to pay to the
Company, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company to provide for the payment of, any
federal, state, local or other taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to the
grant, vesting or redemption of this Award. Subject to Committee approval, you may elect to
satisfy any tax withholding obligation of the Company with respect to this Award by having shares
withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for
federal (including FICA), state, local and other tax liabilities.

11. No Rights to Continued Service or Employment. This Award shall not confer upon you any
right to be retained by or in the service or employment of ICG or its parent, subsidiaries or
affiliates and shall not interfere in any way with the right of ICG or its parent, subsidiaries or
affiliates to terminate your service or employment at any time. The right of ICG or its parent,
subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate at will your service or employment at any time for any
reason is specifically reserved.

12. Assignment by ICG. The rights and protections of ICG hereunder shall extend to any
successors or assigns of ICG and to ICG’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates. This Award may be
assigned by ICG without your consent.

13. Acknowledgment. By executing this Agreement, you hereby acknowledge that with respect
to any right to payment pursuant to this Agreement, you are and shall be an unsecured general
creditor of ICG without any preference as against other unsecured general creditors of ICG, and you
hereby covenant for yourself, and anyone at any time claiming through or under you not to claim any
such preference, and hereby disclaim and waive any such preference which may at any time be at
issue, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. You also hereby acknowledge receipt of a
copy of the Plan and agree to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. You further
agree to be bound by the determinations and decisions of the Committee with respect to the Plan and
your rights to benefits under the Plan, and agree that all such determinations and decisions of the
Committee shall be binding on you, your beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an
interest under the Plan on your behalf.

14. Effect on Other Benefits. The value of Restricted Units or any shares of Common Stock
distributed to you with respect to the Restricted Units shall not be considered eligible earnings
for purposes of any other plans maintained by the Company. Neither shall such value be
considered part of your compensation for purposes of determining or calculating other benefits that
are based on compensation, such as life insurance.

 

 

 

15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be made under and shall be construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of
laws provisions thereof.

16. Notice. All notices hereunder shall be in writing, and if to ICG or to the Committee,
shall be delivered to the Board of Directors of ICG or mailed to its principal office, addressed to
the attention of the Board of Directors of ICG; and if to you, shall be delivered personally sent
by facsimile transmission or mailed to you at the address appearing in the records of the Company.
Such addresses may be changed at any time by written notice to other party given in accordance with
this Paragraph 16.

17. Section 409A of the Code.

(a) This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and
shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with such requirements. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, redemption and payment may only be made under this
Agreement upon an event or in a manner permitted by section 409A of the Code and its corresponding

redemption and payment for purposes of section 409A of the Code. In no event may you designate the
calendar year of redemption or payment.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if a redemption or
payment under this Agreement is payable to you upon separation from service (within the meaning of

are a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code and its
corresponding regulations) as determined by the Company (or any successor thereto), in its sole
discretion, in accordance with its specified employee determination policy, then the redemption and

following your separation from service from the Company. The postponed amounts shall be
distributed and paid to you in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after the date that is six (6)
