1.                                      Award of Restricted Stock.  Effective as       ,  the Company hereby awards to Recipient          shares of the Company’s fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock as a restricted stock grant (the “Restricted Stock”).  All of the Restricted Stock is subject to the length of service restrictions set forth in Section 2 and to the restrictions, terms, and conditions of the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which has been made available to Recipient.

3.                                      Share Issuance and Dividends; No Transfers.  Restricted Stock shall be issued as soon as practicable after the effective date of this Agreement in the name of Recipient and may be certificated or uncertificated. To facilitate the cancellation of Restricted Stock upon forfeiture, Recipient shall execute a stock power upon request, endorsed in blank, covering all Restricted Stock and deliver it to the Company.  The Company or its designee shall hold certificates, if any, and corresponding stock powers until the possibility of forfeiture has lapsed.  Upon the lapse of forfeiture restrictions with respect to all or a portion of the Restricted Stock, such shares shall be delivered to the registered owner as soon as practicable, subject to any applicable withholding.  If forfeiture occurs, the Company shall promptly cancel the certificates covering the forfeited shares, if any, and otherwise record the forfeiture in its stock ledger.  While the shares of Restricted Stock are subject to forfeiture, Recipient is entitled to receive cash dividends declared on the Restricted Stock, if any, and may exercise voting and other shareholder rights.  The Company or its designee shall also hold shares issued for any stock dividends in accordance with this section.  If forfeiture occurs, Recipient shall have no right to receive retained stock dividends with respect to Restricted Stock that is forfeited.  No interest in any Restricted Stock may be transferred voluntarily or by operation of law until the possibility of forfeiture lapses.  Recipient is the registered owner of each certificate

delivered by the Company pursuant to this section.  However, if Recipient is not living, the registered owner of the shares delivered by the Company pursuant to this section will be the person or persons establishing rights of ownership by will or under the laws of descent and distribution.

 

4.                                      Taxes.  Recipient is advised that any income recognized as a result of receiving the Restricted Stock will be treated as ordinary compensation income subject to federal, state, and local income, employment, and other tax withholding. Recipient is advised that if he or she makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect to the Restricted Stock, Recipient will recognize ordinary compensation income at the time of the Restricted Stock award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Restricted Stock on that date. If Recipient does not make a Section 83(b) election, Recipient will recognize ordinary compensation income (a) at the time or times any portion of the Restricted Stock vests in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, in an amount equal to the fair market value of that Restricted Stock on the vesting date, and (b) in connection with the payment of any cash dividends on the Restricted Stock while the Restricted Stock is unvested.  Before making a Section 83(b) election, Recipient shall pay to the Company the amount necessary to satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements arising in connection with the election.  Before or concurrently with vesting of Restricted Stock, Recipient shall pay to the Company the amount necessary to satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements arising in connection the vesting.  Recipient shall pay these amounts in cash or, at the election of Recipient, by surrendering to the Company for cancellation (y) Restricted Stock (except in the case of withholding due in connection with a Section 83(b) election) or (z) other shares of the Company’s Common Stock held for at least six months, in each case valued at the then market price of the Company’s Common Stock.  If additional withholding becomes required beyond any amount paid before delivery of the certificates representing the Restricted Stock, Recipient shall pay that amount to the Company upon demand.  If shareholder fails to pay any amount demanded, the Company will have the right to withhold that amount from other amounts payable by the Company to Recipient, including salary, subject to applicable law.  Recipient is advised that to be valid a Section 83(b) election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the date of the Restricted Stock award, a copy of the election must be provided to the Company, and a copy of the election must be attached to Recipient’s federal (and possibly state) income tax return for the year of the election.  Recipient acknowledges that if he or she chooses to make a Section 83(b) election, it is Recipient’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s, to make a valid and timely election.  Recipient is encouraged to consult Recipient’s personal tax advisor regarding the advisability of making a Section 83(b) election with respect to the Restricted Stock.

 

IRS Circular 230 notice:  Any tax advice contained herein is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by Recipient or any other person (i) in promoting, marketing or recommending any transaction, plan or arrangement or (ii) for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed under federal tax law.

5.                                      Additional Common Stock of the Company.  If, during the period when any of the Restricted Stock is subject to forfeiture, the outstanding Common Stock is increased as a result of a stock dividend or stock split, the restrictions and other provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any such additional shares that are issued in respect of any Restricted Stock to the same extent as those restrictions and other provisions apply to the Restricted Stock.

 

6.                                      Restrictive Legend; Stop Transfer. Certificates for shares issued under this Agreement may bear the following legend:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate are subject to a Restricted Stock Agreement between the registered owner and Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated materially restricting the transferability of the shares.  A copy of the agreement is on file with the Secretary of Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated.”

 

If shares of Restricted Stock are uncertificated, the Company may issue a stop transfer order with respect to, or otherwise make adequate provision to restrict the transferability of, the Restricted Stock.

 

7.                                      Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any parent or subsidiary by whom Recipient is employed to terminate Recipient’s employment at any time or for any reason, with or without cause, or to decrease Recipient’s compensation or benefits.

 

8.                                      Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

This Agreement is made and entered into as of                 , 20       by and between Erickson Air-Crane Incorporated, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and               (“Recipient”).  By accepting this award, Recipient agrees to all of the terms and conditions of this agreement (this “Agreement”).

 

1.                                      Grant and Terms of Restricted Stock Units.  Effective as       ,  the Company hereby grants to Recipient                               restricted stock units (each, an “RSU”), subject to the restrictions, terms, and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.  All of the RSUs are subject to the restrictions, terms, and conditions of the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which has been made available to Recipient.

 

2.                                      Rights under Restricted Stock Units.  Each RSU represents an unfunded, unsecured obligation of the Company to deliver to Recipient one share of Common Stock.  Upon any change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company described in Section 10.1 of the Plan or any “Transaction” as defined in Section 10.2 of the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable with respect to each RSU shall be appropriately adjusted as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.  If in any Transaction Common Stock is exchanged for or converted into property other than Common Stock, the consideration deliverable with respect to each RSU shall be the per share consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock.

 

3.                                      Vesting and Delivery Dates.  The RSUs granted under this Agreement vest as follows           , and entitle Recipient to receive the number of shares of Common Stock as determined in Section 2 of this Agreement (the “Shares”) on        (the “Delivery Date”). The Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver the Shares to Recipient on the Delivery Date, which Shares may be certificated or uncertificated.

 

4.                                      Restrictions on Transfer and Delivery on Death.  Recipient may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise encumber or dispose of the RSUs.  If Recipient is not living on the Delivery Date, the registered owner of the shares delivered by the Company pursuant to this section will be the person or persons establishing rights of ownership by will or under the laws of descent and distribution.

 

5.                                      Recipient’s Rights as Stockholder.  Recipient shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the RSUs or the Shares underlying them until the Company delivers the Shares to Recipient on the Delivery Date.

 

6.                                      Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.  The award made pursuant to this Agreement is intended to comply with the payment requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and this Agreement shall be interpreted consistently with such intent.  The Company may adopt such amendments to the award or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies, and procedures with retroactive effect) or take any other actions the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to exempt the award from the application of Section 409A, to

preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the award, or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

 

7.                                      Taxes.  Recipient acknowledges and agrees that (a) Recipient will not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the RSUs, (b) Recipient will recognize taxable compensation income for Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) purposes at the time of vesting, (c) Recipient will recognize taxable compensation income for federal, state and local income tax purposes at the time Shares are delivered to or for the benefit of Recipient, (d) the amount of income Recipient will recognize will be equal to the fair market value of the Shares on the relevant income recognition date, and (e) the Company will be required to withhold applicable income and employment taxes on amount of income recognized.

 

8.                                      Tax Withholding.  Recipient shall pay to the Company upon request an amount in cash equal to the Recipient’s portion of any FICA tax that arises before the Delivery Date.  In connection with delivery of Common Stock pursuant to this award, the Company will withhold from the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable a number of shares of Common Stock having a market value equal to the minimum amount necessary to satisfy the required withholding obligations arising at that time. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no shares of Common Stock will be issued unless and until all income, employment and other taxes that the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to the Common Stock have been withheld or collected to the satisfaction of the Company.  In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall have the right to retain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to Recipient, cash sufficient to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable shares.

 

9.                                      Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any parent or subsidiary by whom Recipient is employed to terminate Recipient’s employment at any time or for any reason, with or without cause, or to decrease Recipient’s compensation or benefits.
