KITE REALTY GROUP TRUST

2013 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

NONQUALIFIED SHARE OPTION AGREEMENT

 

Nonqualified Share Option

 

This Agreement evidences the grant of an option exercisable for the number of Shares set forth on the cover sheet of this Agreement and subject to the vesting and other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan. This option is not intended to be an incentive share option under Section 422 of the Code and will be interpreted accordingly.

 

 

 

Vesting

 

This option is exercisable only before it expires and then only with respect to the vested portion of the option. Subject to the preceding sentence, you may exercise this option, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of vested Shares not less than 100 Shares, unless the number of Shares purchased is the total number available for purchase under the option, by following the procedures set forth in the Plan and below in this Agreement.

 

Except as otherwise provided in any employment agreement between you and the Company, your right to purchase Shares under this option vests as follows: [          ]. The resulting aggregate number of vested Shares will be rounded to the nearest whole number, and you cannot vest in more than the number of Shares covered by this option.

 

No additional Shares will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason.

 

 

 

Term

 

Your option will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, as shown on the cover sheet. Your option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below.

 

 

 

Regular Termination

 

If your Service terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Cause, then your option expires at the close of business at Company headquarters on the 90th day after your termination date.

 

 

 

Termination for Cause

 

If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you immediately forfeit all rights to your option and the option immediately expires.

 

 

 

Death

 

If your Service terminates because of your death, then your option will become fully vested and will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after the date of death. During that 12-month period, your estate or heirs may exercise your option.

 

In addition, if you die during the 90-day period described in connection with a regular termination (i.e., a termination of your Service not on account of your death, Disability or Cause), and the vested portion of your option has not yet been exercised, then your option will instead expire on the date 12 months after your termination date. In such a case, during the period following your death up to the date 12 months after your termination date, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of your option.

 

2



 

Disability

 

If your Service terminates because of your Disability, then your option will become fully vested and will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after your termination date.

 

 

 

Leaves of Absence

 

For purposes of this option, your Service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide employee leave of absence that was approved by the Company in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by applicable law. However, your Service will be treated as terminating 90 days after you went on employee leave, unless your right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee work.

 

The Company determines, in its sole discretion, which leaves count for this purpose, and when your Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

 

 

 

Notice of Exercise

 

When you wish to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by filing the proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the address given on the form. Your notice must specify how many Shares you wish to purchase (in a parcel of at least 100 Shares generally). Your notice must also specify how your Shares should be registered (in your name only or in your and your spouse’s names as joint tenants with right of survivorship). The notice will be effective when it is received by the Company. If someone else wants to exercise this option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

 

 

 

Form of Payment

 

When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the option price for the Shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in one (or a combination) of the following forms:

 

  ·      Cash, your personal check, a cashier’s check, a money order or another cash equivalent acceptable to the Company.

 

  ·      Shares that you already own and that you surrender to the Company. The Fair Market Value of the Shares, determined as of the effective date of the option exercise, will be applied to the option price.

 

  ·      By delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate option price and any withholding taxes (if approved in advance by the Committee if you are either an executive officer or a trustee of the Company).

 

 

 

Withholding Taxes

 

You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the option exercise or sale of Shares acquired under this option. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the exercise or sale of Shares purchased upon exercise of this option, the Company will have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate. To satisfy this withholding obligation, the Company may provide you with

 

3



 

 

 

the opportunity, in its sole discretion, to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable to you or by delivering to the Company Shares already owned by you. If the Company provides you with the foregoing opportunity and you fail to make avail yourself of the opportunity, the Company may determine what method to use, including by withholding Shares otherwise issuable to you. The Shares so withheld must have an aggregate Fair Market Value not exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by applicable law.

 

 

 

Evidence of Issuance

 

The issuance of the S hares upon exercise of this option will be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book entry, registration or issuance of one or more share certificates.

 

 

 

Transfer of Option

 

During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the option. You cannot transfer or assign this option. For instance, you may not sell this option or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this option in your will or it may be transferred upon your death by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your spouse’s interest in your option in any other way.

 

 

 

Retention Rights

 

Neither your option nor this Agreement gives you the right to be retained by the Company or an Affiliate in any capacity. The Company and its Affiliates reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason.

 

 

 

Shareholder Rights

 

You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company until a certificate for your option’s Shares has been issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made). No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your share certificate is issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made), except as described in the Plan.

 

 

 

Adjustments

 

In the event of a split, a dividend or a similar change in the Shares, the number of Shares covered by this option and the option price per Share will be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) if required pursuant to the Plan.

 

Your option will be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.

 

 

 

Applicable Law

 

This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Maryland, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

 

 

 

The Plan

 

The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan, and have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

 

This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations

concerning this option are superseded.

 

 

 

Data Privacy

 

In order to administer the Plan, the Company may process personal data about you. Such data includes but is not limited to the information provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data about you such as home address and business addresses and other contact information, payroll information and any other information that might be deemed appropriate by the Company to facilitate the administration of the Plan.

 

By accepting this option, you give explicit consent to the Company to process any such personal data. You also give explicit consent to the Company to transfer any such personal data outside the country in which you work or are employed, including, with respect to non-U.S. resident Optionees, to the United States, to transferees who will include the Company and other persons who are designated by the Company to administer the Plan.

 

 

 

Code Section 409A

 

The option grant under this Agreement is intended to be exempt from, or to comply with, Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Board nor the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on you under Code Section 409A and neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Board nor the Committee will have any liability to you for such tax or penalty.

 

 

 

Consent to Electronic Delivery

 

The Company may choose to deliver certain statutory materials relating to the Plan in electronic form. By accepting this option grant you agree that the Company may deliver the Plan prospectus and the Company’s annual report to you in an electronic format. If at any time you would prefer to receive paper copies of these documents, as you are entitled to, the Company would be pleased to provide copies. Please contact Daniel R. Sink at (317) 577-5600 to request paper copies of these documents.

RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT

 

Restricted Shares

 

This Agreement evidences an award of the number of Shares set forth on the cover sheet, at the Purchase Price set forth on the cover sheet, and subject to the vesting conditions described below (“Restricted Shares”). The purchase price for the Restricted Shares is deemed paid by your services to the Company.

 

 

 

Nontransferability of Unvested Restricted Shares

 

To the extent not yet vested, your Restricted Shares may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted Shares be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

 

 

 

Issuance and Vesting

 

The Company will issue your Restricted Shares in your name as of the Grant Date.

 

Your right to the Shares under this Restricted Share Agreement grant vests as to the total number of Shares covered by this grant, as shown on the cover sheet, as follows: [        ]. If, however, you are restricted from selling Shares on any vesting date pursuant to the Company’s policy on insider trading, your Shares that would have vested on that vesting date will vest on the first date that is during a window period in which Company insiders are not restricted from selling Shares, provided you then continue in Service.

 

Your right to the Shares under this Agreement will become fully vested on your termination of Service due to death or Disability. No additional Restricted Shares will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason.

 

 

 

Forfeiture of Unvested Shares

 

In the event that your Service terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, you will forfeit to the Company all of the Restricted Shares that have not yet vested.

 

 

 

Evidence of Issuance

 

The issuance of the Shares upon the grant of Restricted Shares pursuant to this Agreement will be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book entry, registration or issuance of one or more share certificates, with any unvested Restricted Shares bearing the appropriate restrictions imposed by this Agreement. As your interest in the Restricted Shares vests, the recordation of the number of Restricted Shares attributable to you will be appropriately modified if necessary.

 

Each issuance of shares (whether by book entry, registration or issuance of share certificates) will be accompanied by a duly executed Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement.

 

 

 

Withholding Taxes

 

You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the vesting of Shares acquired under this grant. In the event that the

 

2



 

 

 

Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the vesting of Shares arising from this grant, the Company will have the right to (i) require you to tender a cash payment, (ii) deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to you, (iii) permit or require you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulation Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the Shares to be vested in connection with this grant to satisfy withholding obligations and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the withholding obligations directly to the Company or an Affiliate, or (iv) require you to deliver to the Company Shares already owned by you to meet such obligations; provided that the Shares delivered must have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding obligation and may not be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements.

 

 

 

Section 83(b) Election

 

Under Code Section 83, the difference between the purchase price paid for the Shares and their fair market value on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such Shares lapse will be reportable as ordinary income at that time. For this purpose, “forfeiture restrictions” include the forfeiture of unvested Shares that is described above. You may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are acquired, rather than when such Shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions, by filing an election under Code Section 83(b) with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days after the Grant Date. You will have to make a tax payment to the extent the Purchase Price is less than the fair market value of the Shares on the Grant Date. No tax payment will have to be made to the extent the Purchase Price is at least equal to the fair market value of the shares on the Grant Date. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement. Failure to make this filing within the 30 day period will result in the recognition of ordinary income by you (in the event the fair market value of the shares as of the vesting date exceeds the purchase price) as the forfeiture restrictions lapse.

 

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON YOUR BEHALF. YOU ARE RELYING SOLELY ON YOUR OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE ANY CODE SECTION 83(b) ELECTION.

 

 

 

Retention Rights

 

This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company or an Affiliate in any capacity. The Company and its Affiliates reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason.

 

 

 

Shareholder Rights

 

You have the right to vote the Restricted Shares and to receive any dividends declared or paid on such Shares. Any distributions you receive as a result of any split, dividend, combination of Shares or other similar transaction will be deemed to be a part of the Restricted Shares and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto. Except as described in the Plan, no adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record

date occurs before an appropriate book entry is made (or your share certificate is issued). The Company may in its sole discretion require any dividends paid on unvested Shares to be reinvested in Shares, which the Company may in its sole discretion deem to be a part of the Restricted Shares and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares.

 

 

 

Adjustments

 

In the event of a split, a dividend or a similar change in the Shares, the number of Shares covered by this grant may be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) pursuant to the Plan.

 

Your Restricted Shares will be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.

 

 

 

Legends

 

If and to the extent that the Shares are represented by certificates rather than book entry, all certificates representing the Shares issued in connection with this grant will, where applicable, have endorsed thereon the following legends:

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR HIS OR HER PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY AND WILL BE FURNISHED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.”

 

To the extent the Shares are represented by a book entry, such book entry will contain an appropriate legend or restriction similar to the foregoing.

 

 

 

Applicable Law

 

This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Maryland, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

 

 

 

The Plan

 

The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan, and have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

 

This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this grant of Restricted Shares. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this grant are superseded.

 

 

 

Data Privacy

 

In order to administer the Plan, the Company may process personal data about you. Such data includes, but is not limited to, the information provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data about you such as home address and business addresses and other contact information, payroll information and any other information that might be deemed appropriate by the Company to facilitate the administration of the
