Granted hereunder:                                                       

 

Grant Date:                                                                                                           March 23, 2022

 

 

1.    Grant of Restricted Share Unit Award. 

 

1.1    The Company hereby grants to the Grantee the award (“Award”) of Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) set forth above on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise provided in the Plan. The Award of RSUs pursuant to this Agreement is subject to and contingent upon shareholder approval of the Plan at the Annual Shareholders Meeting, and in the event that the shareholders of the Company do not approve the Plan at the Annual Shareholders Meeting, the Award of RSUs will not be made and will be cancelled. Each RSU shall have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share. A bookkeeping account will be maintained by the Company to keep track of the RSUs.

 

 

 

 

1.2    The Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the dates on which the RSUs shall vest in accordance with Section 2 hereof. This Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

 

2.    Vesting and Payment.

 

2.1    Vesting. Except as provided in Section 2.2, the RSUs subject to this Award shall vest as follows:

 

(i)    15% of the RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date;

 

(ii)    An additional 20% of the RSUs shall vest on the second anniversary of the Grant Date;

 

(iii)    An additional 30% of the RSUs shall vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date; and

 

(iv)    The remaining 35% of the RSUs shall vest on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date.

 

2.2    Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, this Award shall become vested immediately prior to a Change in Control as to 100% of the RSUs (but only to the extent such Award has not otherwise terminated or become vested).

 

2.3    Settlement. The Grantee shall be entitled to settlement of the RSUs subject to this Award at the time that such RSUs vest pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, as applicable. Such settlement shall be made as promptly as practicable thereafter (but in no event after the fifteenth day following the applicable vesting date, or in the case of a Change in Control, the Change in Control) through the issuance of Shares equal to the number of such vested RSUs. Any settlement of RSUs granted pursuant to this Award shall be made in Shares as evidenced by a “book entry” (i.e., a computerized or manual entry) in the records of the Company or its designated agent in the name of the Grantee who has become vested in such Shares (or, if requested by Grantee, a stock certificate evidencing such Shares). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Award vests in connection with a Change in Control and the Shares issuable in connection with such vesting subsequently have been converted into or have other been transferred in exchange for other consideration in connection with such Change in Control, Grantee will be entitled to receive such other consideration in lieu of the corted or transferred Shares. The Grantee will not be entitled to any dividend equivalent or voting rights with regard to the RSUs.

 

2.4    Termination. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, this Award shall not become vested as to any RSUs that have not vested as of the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, and Grantee shall forfeit any unvested RSUs as of the date of such termination of employment.

 

 

 

 

2.5    Withholding Obligations. Prior to the settlement of any RSUs subject to this Award, Grantee shall provide (i) full payment (in cash or by check or by a combination thereof) to satisfy the Withholding Tax Obligation (as defined below) with respect to which the Award or portion thereof shall settle or (ii) subject to compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, indication that the Grantee elects to tender to the Company Shares owned by the Grantee (or by the Grantee and his or her spouse jointly) and purchased and held for the requisite period of time as may be required to avoid the Company’s incurring an adverse accounting charge, based on the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the payment date necessary to satisfy the Withholding Tax Obligation that would otherwise be required to be paid by the Grantee to the Company pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.5, or (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing and unless notice to the contrary is given to the Grantee by the Company, the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued to the Grantee upon settlement of the Award (or portion thereof) reduced by a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, on the date of such issuance, equal to the payment to satisfy the Withholding Tax Obligation that would otherwise be required to be made by the Grantee to the Company pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.5. Any social security calculation or other adjustments discovered after the net Share payment described in clause (iii) of this Section 2.5 hereof will be settled in cash, not in Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may satisfy the Grantee’s withholding obligation from the Grantee’s other compensation which may be payable by the Company, including any withholding obligation which may not be satisfied though the procedures identified in this Section 2.5. For purposes hereof, the “Withholding Tax Obligation” means the minimum amount necessary to satisfy Federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax requirements, if any, in connection with vesting of the Award; provided, however, that, in the discretion of the Company, the Company may allow the Grantee to withhold an additional amount or additional number of Shares to satisfy an additional amount of withholding taxes up to the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction, but only if such additional withholding, or the discretion to elect such additional withholding, does not result in adverse accounting treatment of this Award to the Company. Vesting of the Award (or portion thereof) will result in taxable compensation reportable on the Grantee’s W-2 in year of vesting.

 

3.    No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon the Grantee any right to continue service as an officer or employee of the Company.

 

4.    Adjustments. The provisions of Section 4.2 and Section 14.3 of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference, and the RSUs are subject to such provisions. Any determination made by the Committee pursuant to such provisions shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and shall be final and binding for all purposes of the Plan and this Agreement.

 

5.    Administration Subject to the Plan. The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of (or an electric link to) the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The terms of this Agreement are governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the case of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Award.

 

 

 

 

6.    Modification of Agreement. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan and applicable law (including compliance with Section 409A of the Code), the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, the RSU, prospectively or retroactively.

 

7.    Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the settlement of the RSUs to be made to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement is intended to qualify as a “short-term deferral” pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Regulations and this Agreement shall be interpreted consistently therewith. However, in any circumstances where the settlement of the RSUs may not so qualify, the Committee shall administer the grant and settlement of such RSUs in strict compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that this Award constitutes deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (i) no RSU payable upon the Grantee’s termination of service shall be issued, unless Grantee’s termination of service constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations and (ii) if at the time of a Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company and all “service recipients” (as defined in the applicable provision of the Treasury Regulations), the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of service is necessary in order to prevent the imposition of any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Grantee) to the minimum extent necessary to satisfy Section 409A of the Code until the date that is six months and one day following the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code), if such payment or benefit is payable upon a termination of employment. Each payment of RSUs constitutes a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that this RSU Agreement constitutes deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, a “Change in Control” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean “change in the ownership of the Company,” a “change in the effective control of the Company,” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets,” as such terms are defined in Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company does not warrant that this RSU will qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 409A of the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local or foreign law. The Company shall not be liable to Grantee for any tax, interest, or penalties that the Grantee might owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise, or payment of the RSUs.

 

8.    No Right to Continued Employment. The grant of the RSU shall not be construed as giving the Grantee the right to be retained in the service of the Company, and the Company may at any time dismiss the Grantee from service, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan.

 

9.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, or becomes, or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or the Award, or would disqualify the Plan or Award under any laws deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and Award shall remain in full force and effect.

 

 

 

 

10.    Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by Federal law.

 

11.    Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Grantee’s legal representatives. All obligations imposed upon the Grantee and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators and successors.

 

12.    Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute or disagreement which may arise under, or as a result of, or in any way related to, the interpretation, construction or application of this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee. Any determination made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Grantee and the Company for all purposes.

 

13.    Rights as a Shareholder. Grantee shall not have voting or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the RSUs. Grantee will obtain voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company upon the settlement of the RSUs in Shares; provided, however, that, for purposes of clarity, in no event will any settlement of the RSUs occur prior to the approval of the Plan at the Annual Shareholders Meeting.

 

14.    Notices. All notices required to be given under this Award shall be deemed to be received if delivered or mailed as provided for herein to the parties at the following addresses, or to such other address as either party may provide in writing from time to time.

NETSTREIT CORP.
2019 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of [______] (the “Grant Date”) by and between NetSTREIT Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and [___________] (the “Participant”), pursuant to the NetSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan in order to grant Awards from time to time to certain key Employees (including prospective Employees), Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; and
WHEREAS, the Participant is an Eligible Recipient as contemplated by the Plan, and the Administrator has determined that it is in the interest of the Company to grant this Award to the Participant.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Grant and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
(a)Shares Subject to Award. As of the Grant Date, the Participant will be credited with [_____] Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit is a notional amount that represents the right to receive one Share, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, if and when the Restricted Stock Unit vests.
(b)Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest [___________], subject to the Participant’s continuous service with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, as applicable, whether as an Employee, Director, or Consultant (“Service”), from the Grant Date through each applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units may also vest under the circumstances described in Section 3(c).
2.Rights as a Stockholder. 
(a)Unless and until a Restricted Stock Unit has vested and the Share underlying it has been distributed to the Participant, the Participant will not be entitled to vote in respect of that Restricted Stock Unit or that Share.
(b)If the Company declares a dividend on its Shares, whether in the form of cash or Shares, then, on the payment date of the dividend, the Participant will be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the amount of the dividend per Share multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant through the record date. The dollar amount credited to the Participant under the preceding sentence will be credited to an account (“Account”) established for the Participant for bookkeeping purposes only on the books of the Company. The balance in the Account will be subject to the same terms regarding vesting and forfeiture as the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement, and will be paid in a single sum, in the form of cash or Shares, as applicable, at the time that the Shares associated with the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are delivered (or forfeited at the time that the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are forfeited). 
1
			
	267832291 v2

3.Termination of Service.
(a)Any Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3(c), in the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not then vested shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service. 
(b)Termination for Cause. In the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for Cause, the entire Award of Restricted Stock Units, whether or not then vested, shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service.
(c)Termination without Cause; Termination for Good Reason; Termination due to Death or Disability. In the event that the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause, (ii) to the extent that the Participant is subject to a written employment agreement that contains a definition of Good Reason, by the Participant for Good Reason, or (iii) due to the Participant’s death or Disability, the Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest in full.
4.Timing and Form of Payment.
Once a Restricted Stock Unit vests, the Participant will be entitled to receive a Share in its place. Delivery of the Share will be made as soon as administratively feasible following the vesting of the associated Restricted Stock Unit. Shares will be credited to an account established for the benefit of the Participant with the Company’s administrative agent. The Participant will have full legal and beneficial ownership of the Shares at that time.
5.Tax Withholding.
The Company or any Affiliate thereof shall have the power to withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate thereof, cash or Shares that are distributable to the Participant with respect to the Restricted Stock Units in an amount sufficient to satisfy the federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, both domestic and foreign, relating to such transaction, and the Company or such Affiliate thereof may defer payment of cash or issuance of Shares until such requirements are satisfied; provided, however, that such amount may not exceed the maximum statutory withholding rate. The Participant shall be entitled to satisfy the amount of any such required tax withholding by having the Company withhold from the Shares otherwise distributable to the Participant upon vesting of the Restrictive Stock Units a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required tax withholdings.
6.Unauthorized Disclosure; Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Interference with Business Relationships; Proprietary Rights.
(a)Unauthorized Disclosure. The Participant agrees and understands that in the course of the Participant’s Service, the Participant has been and will be exposed to and has and will receive information relating to the confidential affairs of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively, the “Group”), including, without limitation, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, software, other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices of the Group and other forms of information considered by the Group to be confidential or in the nature of trade secrets (including, without limitation, ideas, research and development, know-how, formulas, technical data, designs, drawings, specifications, customer and supplier lists, pricing and cost information and business and marketing plans and proposals) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally known to the public or within the 
2
			
	267832291 v2

relevant trade or industry other than due to the Participant’s violation of this Section 6(a) or disclosure by a third party who is known by the Participant to owe the Company an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information.  The Participant agrees that at all times during the Participant’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Participant shall not disclose such Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof without the prior written consent of the Company and shall not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner other than in connection with the Participant’s Service, unless required by law to disclose such information, in which case the Participant shall provide the Company with written notice of such requirement as far in advance of such anticipated disclosure as possible. This confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction. Upon termination of the Participant’s Service, the Participant shall promptly supply to the Company all property, computers, tablets, keys, notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards (including credit cards), surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data and any other tangible product or document which has been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to the Participant during or prior to the Participant’s Service, and any copies thereof in the Participant’s (or reasonably capable of being reduced to his or her) possession; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Participant from retaining and utilizing: (i) documents relating to the Participant’s personal benefits, entitlements and obligations; (ii) documents relating to the Participant’s personal tax obligations; (iii) the Participant’s desk calendar, rolodex, and the like; and (iv) such other records and documents as may reasonably be approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Participant and any member of the Group, the Participant shall be entitled to provide, without breaching this Agreement or any such other agreement and without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental or administrative authorities regarding possible violations of law or otherwise testify or participate in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental or administrative authorities, and for purpose of clarity, the Participant is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.
(b)Non-Competition. By and in consideration of the Company’s entering into this Agreement, and in further consideration of the Participant’s exposure to the Confidential Information of the Group, the Participant agrees that the Participant shall not, during the  Restriction Period (as defined below), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with, including, without limitation, holding any position as a stockholder, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below); provided, that in no event shall ownership of one percent (1%) or less of the outstanding securities of the limited partnership interest in any private equity fund, hedge fund or venture capital fund or any class of any issuer whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, standing alone, be prohibited by this Section 6(b), so long as the Participant does not have, or exercise, any rights to manage or operate the business of such fund or issuer other than rights as a limited partner or stockholder thereof.  For purposes of this Section 6(b), “Restricted Enterprise” shall mean any enterprise (including, but not limited to, any enterprise related to the business of acquiring, developing, investing, structuring or managing retail net lease real estate properties and any other lines of business any member of the Group is participating in, or has taken substantive steps towards participating in, as of the date hereof) that is competitive with the business conducted by the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures during the Participant’s Service, within the United States and anywhere outside the United States where the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures operated during the Participant’s Service.  The “Restriction Period” shall mean the period of the Participant’s Service and for twelve (12) months following the termination thereof[; provided, however, that, unless the 
3
			
	267832291 v2

Participant is or becomes entitled to accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units upon termination of Service, the Restriction Period shall automatically end on the date that the Participant’s Service is terminated; provided, further, that the Company in its sole discretion may waive all or any portion of the Restriction Period].1
(c)Non-Solicitation. During the Restriction Period, the Participant shall not:
(i)directly or indirectly contact, induce or solicit (or assist any Person to contact, induce or solicit) for employment any person who is, or within twelve (12) months prior to the date of such solicitation was, an employee of any member of the Group; or
(ii)induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, or licensee of the Group to cease doing business with the Group or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Group, on the one hand, and any such customer, supplier, or licensee, on the one hand.
(d)Interference with Business Relationships. During the Restriction Period (other than in connection with carrying out the Participant’s responsibilities for the Group), the Participant shall not directly or indirectly induce or solicit (or assist any Person to induce or solicit) any customer or client of any member of the Group to terminate its relationship or otherwise cease doing business in whole or in part with any member of the Group, or directly or indirectly interfere with (or assist any Person to interfere with) any material relationship between any member of the Group and any of their customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or licensors so as to cause harm to any member of the Group.
(e)Extension of Restriction Period. The Restriction Period shall be tolled with respect to Sections 6(b), 6(c), and 6(d) for any period during which the Participant is in breach of any such section.
(f)Proprietary Rights. The Participant shall disclose promptly to the Company any and all inventions, discoveries, and improvements (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes), and all patentable or copyrightable works, initiated, conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made by the Participant, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Participant’s Service and related to the business or activities of the Group (the “Developments”).  Except to the extent any rights in any Developments constitute a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. that are owned ab initio by a member of the Group, the Participant assigns and agrees to assign all of the Participant’s right, title and interest in all Developments (including all intellectual property rights therein) to the Company or its nominee without further compensation, including all rights or benefits therefor, including without limitation the right to sue and recover for past and future infringement. The Participant acknowledges that any rights in any Developments constituting a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C § 101 et seq. are owned upon creation by the Company as the Participant’s employer.  Whenever requested to do so by the Company, the Participant shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain trademarks, patents or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country or otherwise protect the interests of the Group.  These obligations shall continue beyond the end of the Participant’s employment with the Company with respect to inventions, discoveries, improvements or copyrightable works initiated, conceived or made by the Participant while employed by the Company, and shall be binding upon the Participant’s employers, assigns, executors, administrators and other legal representatives.  In connection with the Participant’s execution of this Agreement, the Participant has informed the Company in 

1     NTD: Proviso applies with respect to non-executive officers only.
4
			
	267832291 v2

writing of any interest in any inventions or intellectual property rights that the Participant holds as of the date hereof.  If the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to obtain the Participant’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions described in this Section 6(f), the Participant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Participant’s agent and attorney in fact to act for and on the Participant’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section 6(f) with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Participant.
(g)Other Covenants. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any restrictive covenants to which the Participant may otherwise be subject, whether under the terms of his or her employment or services agreement or otherwise.
(h)Severability. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county, city, state or any similar subdivision in any geographic area. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in the preceding sections. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this Section 6 are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable law.
(i)Remedies.
(i)The Participant agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 6 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Group for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law; the Participant therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Participant and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Participant, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the remedy set forth in Section 6(i)(ii) hereof.  The terms of this Section 6(i) shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Participant. The Participant and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the businesses of the Group because of the Participant’s access to Confidential Information and the Participant’s material participation in the operation of such businesses. 
(ii)In addition, and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event of the Participant’s breach of any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6, (A) the Restricted Stock Units (whether vested or unvested) shall immediately be forfeited, (B) the Company shall be entitled to recover any Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and (C) if the Participant has previously sold any of the Shares derived from the Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall also have the right to recover from the Participant the economic value thereof. 
7.Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Units.

8.Beneficiary Designation. 
The Participant may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) by whom any right under the Plan and this Agreement is to be exercised in case of his or her death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Administrator, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Administrator during his or her lifetime.
9.Requirements of Law. 
The issuance of Shares following vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

10.No Guarantee of Continued Service. 
Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time or confer upon the Participant any right to continued Service.

Except as provided in Section 2 above or as otherwise required by law, the Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder prior to the date on which he or she is recorded as the holder of those Shares on the records of the Company.
12.Interpretation; Construction. 
Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected hereby. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of a conflict between any term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
13.Amendments. 
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, alter or amend this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units (but not any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that has previously vested) in whole or in part, including without limitation, amending the criteria for vesting set forth in Section 1 hereof and substituting alternative vesting criteria; provided that such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination shall not adversely alter or impair the rights of the Participant under the Restricted Stock Units without the Participant’s consent.
