2

 

        3.     Company's Lapsing Repurchase Right. 

        (a)   Lapsing Repurchase Right. Except as set forth in Subsection 3(b) hereof, and subject to subsections (i), (ii), (iii),
(iv), and (v) below, if for any reason the Participant no longer is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or an affiliate prior to the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date, the
Company (or its designee) shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase from the Participant (or the Participant's survivor), and, in the event the Company exercises such option, the
Participant (or the Participant's survivor) shall be obligated to sell to the Company (or its designee), at a price per Granted Share equal to the Purchase Price, all or any part of the Granted Shares
as set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below (the "Lapsing Repurchase Right"). The Company's Lapsing Repurchase Right shall be valid
for a period of one year commencing with the date of such termination of employment or service. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event the Company is prohibited during such one year
period from exercising its Lapsing Repurchase Right by applicable law, then the time period during which such Lapsing Repurchase Right may be exercised shall be extended until 30 days after the
Company is first not so prohibited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 

	(i)
	If
such termination is prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Company shall have the option to repurchase all of the Granted Shares;

	(ii)
	If
such termination is on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date and before the earlier of the Acceleration Date or the third anniversary of the Grant Date,
the Company shall have the option to repurchase 50,000 of the Granted Shares;

	(iii)
	If
such termination is on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date and after the Acceleration Date, but before the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the
Company shall have the option to repurchase 25,000 of the Granted Shares;

	(iv)
	If
such termination is on or after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, but before the earlier of the Acceleration Date or the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date,
the Company shall have the option to repurchase 25,000 of the Granted Shares;

	(v)
	If
such termination is on or after the third anniversary of the Grant Date and after the earlier of the Acceleration Date, or the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date,
the Company shall have no right to purchase any of the Granted Shares; 

        (b)   Effect of Termination by the Company Without Cause, by the Participant for Good Reason, or Upon Disability or Death.
Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 3 (a)(iii) above, the Company's Lapsing Repurchase Right shall terminate, and the Participant's ownership of all Granted Shares then owned by the
Participant shall become vested, if the Company or an affiliate terminates the Participant's employment or service other than for Cause, if the Participant terminates his or her employment for Good
Reason, or if the Participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company by reason of Disability or death. 

        (c)   Closing. If the Company exercises the Lapsing Repurchase Right, the Company shall notify the Participant, or, in the case
of the Participant's death, his or her survivor, in writing of its intent to repurchase the Granted Shares. Such notice may be mailed by the Company up to and including the last day of the time period
provided for above for exercise of the Lapsing Repurchase Right. The notice shall specify the place, time and date for payment of the repurchase price (the
"Closing") and the number of Granted Shares with respect to which the Company is exercising the Lapsing Repurchase Right. The Closing shall be not less
than ten days nor more than 60 days from the date of mailing of the notice, and the Participant or the Participant's survivor with respect to the Granted Shares which the Company elects to
repurchase shall have no further rights as the owner thereof from and after the date specified in the notice. At the Closing, the repurchase price shall be delivered to the Participant or the
Participant's survivor and the 

3

 

Granted
Shares being repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer, shall, to the extent that they are not then in the possession of the Company, be delivered to the Company by the Participant or the
Participant's survivor. 

        (d)   Escrow. All Granted Shares that are subject to the Lapsing Repurchase Right, together with any securities distributed in
respect thereof such as through a stock split or other recapitalization, shall be held by the Company in escrow until such time as the Granted Shares have vested. The Company promptly shall release
Granted Shares from escrow upon termination of the Lapsing Repurchase Right with respect to those Granted Shares. 

        (e)   Prohibition on Transfer. The Participant recognizes and agrees that all Granted Shares that are subject to the Lapsing
Repurchase Right may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, other than to the Company (or its
designee). However, the Participant, with the approval of the Committee, may transfer the Granted Shares for no consideration to or for the benefit of the Participant's Immediate Family (including,
without limitation, to a trust for the benefit of the Participant's Immediate Family or to a partnership or limited liability company for one or more members of the Participant's Immediate Family),
subject to such limits as the Committee may establish, and the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to this Agreement prior to such transfer and each such
transferee shall so acknowledge in writing as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such transfer. The term "Immediate Family" shall mean the Participant's spouse, former spouse, parents,
children, stepchildren, adoptive relationships, sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews and grandchildren (and, for this purpose, shall also include the Participant). The Company shall not be required
to transfer any Granted Shares on its books which shall have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred in violation of this Subsection 3 (e), or to treat as the owner of such Granted Shares, or to
accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to, any person or organization to which any such Granted Shares shall have been so sold, assigned or otherwise transferred, in violation of
this Subsection 3 (e). 

        (f)    Failure to Deliver Granted Shares to be Repurchased. If the Granted Shares to be repurchased by the Company under this
Agreement are not in the Company's possession pursuant to Subsection 3 (d) above or otherwise and the Participant or the Participant's survivor fails to deliver such Granted Shares to the
Company (or its designee), the Company may elect (i) to establish a segregated account in the amount of the repurchase price, such account to be turned over to the Participant or the
Participant's survivor upon delivery of such Granted Shares, and (ii) immediately to take such action as is appropriate to transfer record title of such Granted Shares from the Participant to
the Company (or its designee) and to treat the Participant and such Granted Shares in all respects as if delivery of such Granted Shares had been made as required by this Agreement. The Participant
hereby irrevocably grants the Company a power of attorney which shall be coupled with an interest for the purpose of effectuating the preceding sentence. 

        (g)   Adjustments. The Plan contains provisions covering the treatment of Granted Shares in a number of contingencies such as
stock splits and mergers. Provisions in the Plan for adjustment with respect to the Granted Shares and the related provisions with respect to successors to the business of the Company are hereby made
applicable hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference. 

	4.
	Legend. In addition to any legend required pursuant to the Plan, all certificates representing the Granted Shares to be issued to the
Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall have endorsed thereon a legend substantially as follows: 

"The
shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement dated as of February 15, 2005 with the Company, a copy of 

4

 

which
Agreement is available for inspection at the offices of the Company or will be made available upon request." 

        5.     Incorporation of the Plan. The Participant specifically understands and agrees that the Granted Shares issued under the
Plan are being sold to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, a copy of which Plan the Participant acknowledges he or she has read and understands and by which Plan he or she agrees to be bound. The
provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference. 

        6.     Tax Liability of the Participant and Payment of Taxes. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that any income or other
taxes due from the Participant with respect to the Granted Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Lapsing Repurchase Right, shall be the Participant's
responsibility. The Participant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Company promptly will withhold from the Participant's pay the amount of taxes the Company is required to withhold upon the
lapsing of any Lapsing Repurchase Right on the part of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the Participant shall make immediate payment to the Company in the amount of any tax
required to be withheld by the Company in excess of the Participant's pay available for such withholding. 

        7.     Equitable Relief. The Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach
of the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan, including the attempted transfer of the Granted Shares by the Participant in violation of this Agreement, monetary damages may not be adequate to
compensate the Company, and, therefore, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any right to damages, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in any court having
competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any such breach or threatened breach. 

        8.     No Obligation to Maintain Relationship. The Company is not by the Plan or this Agreement obligated to continue the
Participant as an employee, director or consultant of the Company or an affiliate. The Participant acknowledges: (i) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated
by the Company at any time; (ii) that the grant of the Granted Shares is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of shares,
or benefits in lieu of shares; (iii) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when shares shall be granted, the number of shares
to be granted, the purchase price, and the time or times when each share shall be free from a lapsing repurchase right, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) that the
Participant's participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) that the value of the Granted Shares is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Participant's
employment contract, if any; and (vi) that the Granted Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service
payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments. 

        9.     Notices. Any notices required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Plan shall be given by recognized courier
service, facsimile, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

shall be deemed to be excised from this Agreement, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 

        13.   Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Plan, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. No statement, representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement not expressly set forth in this Agreement shall affect or be used to interpret, change or restrict the express terms and provisions of this Agreement provided, however,

EXHIBIT A 

CONSENT
OF SPOUSE 

        I,                        ,
spouse of Victor Hartmann acknowledge that I have read the RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT dated as of February 15, 2005 (the "Agreement") to which this Consent is
attached as Exhibit A and that I know its contents. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement. I am aware that by its
provisions the Granted Shares granted to my spouse pursuant to the Agreement are subject to a Lapsing Repurchase Right in favor of VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS
INCORPORATED (the "Company") and that, accordingly, the Company has the right to repurchase up to all of the Granted Shares of which I may become possessed as a result of a
gift from my spouse or a court decree and/or any property settlement in any domestic litigation. 

        I
hereby agree that my interest, if any, in the Granted Shares subject to the Agreement shall be irrevocably bound by the Agreement and further understand and agree that any community
property interest I may have in the Granted Shares shall be similarly bound by the Agreement. 

        I
agree to the Lapsing Repurchase Right described in the Agreement and I hereby consent to the repurchase of the Granted Shares by the Company and the sale of the Granted Shares by my
spouse or my spouse's legal representative in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. Further, as part of the consideration for the Agreement, I agree that at my death, if I have not disposed
of any interest of mine in the Granted Shares by an outright bequest of the Granted Shares to my spouse, then the Company shall have the same rights against my legal representative to exercise its
rights of repurchase with respect to any interest of mine in the Granted Shares as it would have had pursuant to the Agreement if I had acquired the Granted Shares pursuant to a court decree in
domestic litigation. 

        I AM AWARE THAT THE LEGAL, FINANCIAL AND RELATED MATTERS CONTAINED IN THE AGREEMENT ARE COMPLEX AND THAT I AM FREE TO SEEK INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE OR
COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THIS CONSENT. I HAVE EITHER SOUGHT SUCH GUIDANCE OR COUNSEL OR DETERMINED AFTER REVIEWING THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY THAT I WILL WAIVE SUCH RIGHT.

        Dated
as of the 10th day of March, 2005.

[Employee Name]

[Address] 

Dear *: 

Re: Election to Receive MEC Deferred Equity in Lieu of Guaranteed Bonus

You
have elected to receive $                         of your guaranteed bonus ("Guaranteed Bonus") payable pursuant to your
employment agreement with Magna Entertainment Corp.
("MEC") effective for fiscal 2005 in the form of a Performance Share Unit under the MEC Long-Term Incentive Plan. 

Instead
of receiving a Guaranteed Bonus of $                         in cash, you will receive: 

	1.
	$                        
of your aggregate Guaranteed Bonus in cash; and

	2.
	A
Performance Share Unit Award entitling you to receive                          shares of MEC's Class A Subordinate
Voting Stock ("Class A Stock").
The number of shares of Class A Stock is equal to (i) $                         divided by (ii) the closing
price of MEC's Class A Stock on the last
trading day of the Nasdaq National Market immediately prior to the date on which the Board approved this arrangement ($6.26). 

This
letter is merely intended as a brief overview of the consequences of electing to receive the Performance Share Unit Award in lieu of a portion of your Guaranteed Bonus and you are urged to
consult with your own legal and tax advisers regarding your participation in this deferred equity compensation arrangement.    The terms and conditions of the Performance Share Unit Award
are set forth in the Performance Share Unit Award Agreement accompanying this letter. In the event of any inconsistency between this letter and the Performance Share Unit Award Agreement, the
Performance Share Unit Award Agreement shall govern. Your Performance Share Unit Award is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Any interpretation, determination or
other action made or taken by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors regarding the Performance Share Unit Awards shall be final and binding on you. 

You
will vest in the shares of Class A Stock (the "Award Shares") underlying your Performance Share Unit Award ratably on a daily basis based on your continued employment over the period
commencing May 1, 2005 and ending December 31, 2005 (the "Vesting Schedule"). However, your vested Award Shares will only be issued to you according to the following schedule: 

	1.
	                        
of your vested Award Shares will be issued to you on March     •    , 2006 (the "First Issue
Date"); and

	2.
	                        
of your vested Award Shares will be issued to you on March     •    , 2007 (the "Second Issue
Date" and together with the First Issue Date, the "Issue Dates"). 

4

 

However,
in the event that your employment with MEC terminates for any reason, with or without cause, before the distribution dates referred to above, you will be issued as soon as commercially
practicable after the termination date, that number of Award Shares in which you have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule as at the date of termination of your employment with MEC;
provided, however, that, in compliance with new legislation on deferred compensation, if you are a "key employee" (generally, employees with over US$130,000 in compensation or 5% owners), then Award
Shares shall not be issued to you until the six month anniversary of the date of termination of your employment with MEC (or as soon as commercially practicable thereafter). No fractional
shares shall be issued, all Award Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. 

Due
to market fluctuation and the risk involved in investing in MEC shares, the value of the Award Shares issued to you on the Issue Dates may be higher or lower than
$                        , which was the amount of Guaranteed Bonus you have elected to forego in order to receive your
Performance Share Unit Award. You will be required to pay
income taxes and all other payroll deductions ("Required Deductions") based on the market value of your Award Shares issued to you on each Issue Date. As such, your liability for the Required
Deductions in respect of your Award Shares may be the same as, or higher or lower than, $                        . You and
MEC will be required to enter into a mutually agreeable
arrangement with respect to MEC's withholding obligations for the Required Deductions resulting from the distribution of your Award Shares. In this regard, please see Section 5.3 of the
Performance Share Award Agreement. 

Should
you have any questions regarding this program, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your continued contribution to MEC. 

Yours
very truly,

as a Stockholder.    The Holder shall not be entitled to any privileges of ownership with respect to the shares of Stock
subject to the Award unless and until, and only to the extent, such shares become vested pursuant to Paragraph 3.1 hereof and the Holder becomes a stockholder of record with respect to such
shares after distribution thereof pursuant to Paragraph 3.2 hereof. 

        3.    Vesting
and Distribution of Shares Subject to Award. 

        3.1.    Performance
Vesting Requirement.    The Award shall vest on a per diem basis during the Holder's continued employment by the
Company over a 245 day vesting period beginning May 1, 2005. If the Holder ceases to be an active employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any reason (a "Separation
Event"), the Holder shall forfeit all rights with respect to the shares subject to the portion of the Award of Stock which has not vested as of the effective date of the Holder's termination of
employment and such unvested portion of the Award shall be cancelled by the Company. Notwithstanding the vesting of any portion of a Holder's Award, there shall be no distribution of any Stock subject
to the Award until a distribution of Stock subject to the Award is required to be made (i) prior to a Separation Event, as set forth in Paragraph 3.2 below, or (ii) upon
the occurrence of a Separation Event, as set forth in Paragraph 3.3 below. 

        3.2.    Distribution.    Provided
that a Separation Event has not occurred, the Company shall issue to the Holder (unless the Holder is a
"Restricted Person" (as defined below)) (i) on (or as soon as practicable thereafter) March 24, 2006, one-half of the Stock subject to the Award, rounded down
to the nearest whole share, and (ii) on (or as soon as practicable thereafter) March 23, 2007, the remaining Stock subject to the Award. 

        3.3.    Separation
Event.    Upon the occurrence of a Separation Event (or as soon as practicable thereafter), the Company shall
issue to the Holder (unless the Holder is a "Restricted Person" (as defined below)), the vested portion of the Stock subject to the Award as at the date the employee ceases to be an active
employee of the Company, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

        In
the event that the Holder is a Restricted Person (as defined below) and a Separation Event occurs, the Company shall issue to the Holder the vested portion (as at the
date the Separation Event occurs) of the Stock subject to the Award as soon as practicable after the six month anniversary of the date the Separation Event occurs. 

        "Restricted
Person" means any person described in Section 416(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, without regard to subparagraph (i) thereof. 

        4.    Termination
of Award.    In the event that the Holder shall forfeit rights with respect to all or a portion of the shares of Stock
subject to the Award, the Holder shall, upon the Company's request, promptly return this Agreement to the Company for cancellation. Such forfeiture and cancellation shall be effective regardless of
whether the Holder returns this Agreement to the Company. 

        5.    Additional
Terms and Conditions of Award. 

        5.1.    Nontransferability
of Award.    The Award is not transferable by the Holder except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution (or to a designated Beneficiary in the event of the Holder's death). The Award may not be pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered and shall not be subject to the
claims of creditors. 

        5.2.    Investment
Representation.    The Holder hereby represents and covenants that (a) any share of Stock acquired upon the
vesting of the Award will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "U.S. Securities Act"), unless such acquisition has been registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities law; (b) any subsequent sale of any such
shares shall be made either pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under
applicable securities legislation; and (c) if requested by the Company, the Holder shall submit a written statement, in form satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such representation
(x) is true and correct as of the date of acquisition of any shares hereunder or (y) is true and correct as of the date of any sale of any such shares, as applicable. As a further
condition precedent to the delivery to the Holder of any shares subject to the Award, the Holder shall comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of or
supervision over the issuance of the shares and, in connection therewith, shall execute any documents which the Company shall in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable. 

        5.3.    Withholding
Taxes.    (a) As a condition precedent to the delivery to the Holder of any shares of Stock subject to the
Award, the Holder shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company (or enter into arrangements acceptable to the Company to cause a broker-dealer on behalf of the Holder to pay to the
Company) such amount of cash as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state, provincial, local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other
withholding taxes and source deductions (the "Required Tax Payments") with respect to the Award. If the Holder shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the
Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to the Holder. No certificate representing a share of Stock shall be
delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full. 

7

 

        5.4.    Adjustment.    In
the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of
cash, Stock or other property), recapitalization, forward or reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or share exchange, or other similar
corporate transaction or event, affects the Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of the Holder under the Award, then the Committee shall, in
such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of securities subject to the Award. 

        5.5.    Compliance
with Applicable Law.    The Award is subject to the condition that if the listing, registration or qualification of
the shares subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, the vesting or delivery of shares hereunder, the shares of Stock subject to the Award shall not vest or be delivered, 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 Company. The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or
obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval. 

        5.6.    Delivery
of Certificates.    Subject to Section 5.3, as soon as practicable after the distribution of the Stock subject to
the Award, in whole or in part, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered one or more certificates issued in the Holder's name (or such other name as is acceptable to the Company and
designated in writing by the Holder) representing the number of vested shares. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such delivery, except as
otherwise provided in Section 5.3. 

        5.7.    Award
Confers No Rights to Continued Employment.    In no event shall the granting of the Award or its acceptance by the Holder
give or be deemed to give the Holder any right to continued employment by the Company. 

        5.8.    Decisions
of Board or Committee.    The Board or the Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions which may arise in
connection with the Award. Any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Board or the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding
and conclusive. 

        5.9.    Company
to Reserve Shares.    The Company shall at all times prior to the cancellation of the Award reserve and keep available,
either in its treasury or out of its authorized but unissued shares of Stock, the full number of shares remaining subject to the Award from time to time. 

        5.10.    Agreement
Subject to the Plan.    This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan and shall be interpreted in accordance
therewith. The Holder hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

regular business hours, it shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding business day of the Company. 

        6.4.    Governing
Law.    This Agreement, the Award and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto and thereto, to the
extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without giving effect to conflicts
