(Pursuant to the EnergySolutions, Inc.  2007 Equity Incentive Plan)

 

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of                              , 20     (the “Grant Date”) by and between EnergySolutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (with any successor, the “Company”), and                              (the “Participant”).

 

R E C I T A L S:

 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the EnergySolutions, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan; and

 

WHEREAS, on                              , 20    , the Compensation Committee of the Board determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the restricted stock provided for herein to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Restricted Stock Award.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the Grant Date,                Shares (the “Restricted Shares”), which shall vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3.

 

2.                                       Certificates.  Each Restricted Share will be issued as a “book account” entry in the name of the Participant on the stock transfer books of the Company until it vests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon vesting, a certificate representing the amount of vested Restricted Shares shall be issued by the Company and delivered to the Participant or an account designated by the Participant.

 

3.                                       Vesting.

 

(a)                                  Vesting Schedule.  Subject to the Participant’s continued employment on each vesting date, the Restricted Shares shall vest as follows:

 

(i)                            , 20    : [            ] Restricted Shares vest;

(ii)                            , 20    : [            ] Restricted Shares vest; and

(iii)                            , 20    : [            ] Restricted Shares vest.

 

(b)                         Acceleration of Vesting.  The Participant’s unvested Restricted Shares, if any, shall immediately vest in full upon the occurrence of any the following events:

 

(i)             upon the Participant’s inability due to death, illness or disability to continue serving as an employee of the Company;

 

 

(ii)          upon the termination of Participant’s Service by the Company without Cause (defined below) within twenty-four months after a Change of Control; or

 

(iii)       upon the termination of Participant’s Service by the Participant for Good Reason (defined below) within twenty-four months after a Change of Control.

 

(c)                          Forfeiture of Unvested Restricted Shares.  If the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than as set forth under paragraph (b) above,  any Restricted Shares awarded to the Participant that are not vested as of the date of termination shall automatically terminate and no payment shall be made with respect to such unvested Restricted Shares.

 

4.                                       No Right to Continued Employment.  The granting of the Restricted Shares evidenced hereby and this Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to continue the employment of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates may have to terminate the employment of such Participant.

 

5.                                       Securities Laws/Legend on Certificates.  The issuance and delivery of certificates representing vested Restricted Shares shall comply with all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded.  If the Company deems it necessary to ensure that the issuance of securities under the Plan is not required to be registered under any applicable securities laws, each Participant to whom such security would be issued shall deliver to the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations, warranties and covenants as the Company which satisfies such requirements. The certificates representing the vested Restricted Shares shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem reasonably advisable, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

6.                                       Transferability.  The Restricted Shares may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.  An approved form of Beneficiary Designation is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  No such permitted transfer of the Restricted Shares to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof.

 

7.                                       Adjustment of Restricted Shares.  Adjustments to the Restricted Shares shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

 

8.                                       Withholding.  In the event required by federal or state law, the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Restricted Shares, their grant, vesting or otherwise and to take such other action as

 

2

 

may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes.

 

9.                                       Notices. Any notification required by the terms of this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or within three (3) days of deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid.  A notice shall be addressed to the Company, Attention: General Counsel, at its principal executive office and to the Participant at the address that he or she most recently provided to the Company.

 

10.                                 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof.  They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which relate to the subject matter hereof.

 

11.                                 Waiver.  No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition whether of like or different nature.

 

12.                                 Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon the Participant, the Participant’s assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Participant’s estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Agreement and agreed in writing to be joined herein and be bound by the terms hereof.

 

13.                                 Choice of Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

 

SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL ACTIONS ARISING UNDER OR IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LITIGATED IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS IN UTAH.  BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF, HIMSELF OR HERSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS, HIS OR HER PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION.  EACH PARTY AGREES THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS, AND HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF ANY SUCH ACTION.

 

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

14.                                 Restricted Shares Subject to the Plan.

15.                                 Amendment.  The Committee may amend or alter this Agreement and the Restricted Shares granted hereunder at any time; provided that, subject to Articles 11, 12 and 13 of the Plan, no such amendment or alteration shall be made without the consent of the Participant if such action would materially diminish any of the rights of the Participant under this Agreement or with respect to the Restricted Shares.

 

16.                                 Section 83(b) Election.  In the event the Participant determines to make an election with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) under Section 83(b) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “83(b) Election”), the Participant shall provide a copy of such form to the Company promptly following its filing, which is required under current law to be filed with the IRS no later than thirty (30) days after the Grant Date of the Restricted Shares.  The Participant is advised to consult with his or her own tax advisors regarding the purchase and holding of the Restricted Shares, and the Company shall bear no liability for any consequence of the Participant making and 83(b) Election or failing to make an 83(b) Election.

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Award Agreement”) is made effective as of                              , 20     (the “Date of Grant”) between EnergySolutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (with any successor, the “Company”), and                              (the “Participant”):

 

R E C I T A L S:

 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the EnergySolutions, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Award Agreement.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein (including in Section 10) shall have the same meanings as in the Plan; and

 

WHEREAS, on                              , 20    , the Compensation Committee of the Board determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the option provided for herein to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth (including, without limitation, the restrictive covenants described in Section 7, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Grant of the Option.  The Company hereby grants to the Participant the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, all or any part of an aggregate of                Shares, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan.   The Option is intended to be a non-qualified stock option, and is not intended to be treated as an option that complies with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

2.                                       Option Price.  The purchase price of the Shares subject to the Option shall be $             per Share (the “Option Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan.

 

3.                                       Vesting.  Subject to the Participant’s continued Service on each vesting date, the Options shall vest as follows:

 

(a)                              , 20    : [            ] Options vest;

(b)                              , 20    : [            ] Options vest; and

(c)                              , 20    : [            ] Options vest.

 

At any time, the portion of the Option which has become vested as described in this Section 3 is hereinafter referred to as the “Vested Portion”.  The Vested Portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for the period set forth in Section 6.

 

4.                                       Accelerated Vesting. If the Company terminates the Participant’s Service without Cause (defined below) within twenty-four months after a Change of Control or the Participant terminates his service for Good Reason (defined below) within twenty-four months after a Change of Control, the unvested portion of the Option, to the extent not previously cancelled or forfeited, shall immediately vest in full.

 

5.                                       Forfeiture.   Subject to Section 4, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for any reason, the Option shall, to the extent not then vested, be cancelled by the Company without

 

 

consideration and the Vested Portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for the period set forth in Section 6.

 

6.                                       Exercise of Option.

 

(a)                                  Period of Exercise.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Participant may exercise all or any part of the Vested Portion of the Option at any time prior to the earliest to occur of:

 

(i)                                     the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant;

 

(ii)                                  the date that is ninety (90) days following termination of the Participant’s Service for any reason other than death, Permanent Disability (defined below) or Cause;

 

(iii)                               the date that is one (1) year following termination of the Participant’s Service due to death or Permanent Disability;

 

(iv)                              the date of termination of the Participant’s Service due to Cause.

 

(b)                                 Method of Exercise.

 

(i)                                     Subject to Section 4, the Vested Portion of the Option may be exercised by delivering to the Company at its principal office written notice of intent to so exercise; provided that, the Option may be exercised with respect to whole Shares only.  Such notice shall specify the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price.  In the event the Option is being exercised by the Participant’s representative, the notice shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Committee) of the representative’s right to exercise the Option.  The payment of the Option Price may be made at the election of the Participant (A) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by check), (B) to the extent permitted by the Committee, in Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, (C) partly in cash and, to the extent permitted by the Committee, partly in such Shares, (D) by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option by the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Option Price, or (E) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, subject to such requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased.  The Committee may prescribe any other method of payment that it determines to be consistent with applicable law.  Neither the Participant nor the Participant’s representative shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan.

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Option may not be exercised prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Option or the Shares under applicable securities or other laws, or under any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national securities exchange that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable.

 

(iii)                               Upon the Company’s determination that the Option has been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, the Company shall issue certificates in the Participant’s

 

2

 

name for such Shares.  However, the Company shall not be liable to the Participant for damages relating to any delays in issuing the certificates to him, any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates themselves.

 

(iv)                              In the event of the Participant’s death, the Vested Portion of the Option shall remain exercisable during the period set forth in Section 6 by the Participant’s executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under this Award Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution as the case may be.  Any heir or legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

7.                                       No Right to Continued Service.  The granting of the Option evidenced hereby and this Award Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the Service of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate the Service of such Participant.

 

8.                                       Securities Laws/Legend on Certificates.

If the Company deems it necessary to ensure that the issuance of securities under the Plan is not required to be registered under any applicable securities laws, each Participant to whom such security would be issued shall deliver to the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations, warranties and covenants as the Company which satisfies such requirements. The certificates representing the Shares shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem reasonably advisable, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

9.                                       Transferability.

No such permitted transfer of the Option to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof.  During the Participant’s lifetime, the Option is exercisable only by the Participant.
