Exhibit 10.1

SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into as of the 1 st day of November, 2015, by and between Third Security, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“ THIRD SECURITY ”), and Intrexon Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“ INTREXON ”).

WHEREAS, THIRD SECURITY and INTREXON desire that THIRD SECURITY provide certain services to INTREXON, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, this Agreement has been approved unanimously by the disinterested directors of the INTREXON Board of Directors and by the Audit Committee thereof, including in respect of INTREXON’s Statement of Policy with Respect to Related Person Transactions; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of INTREXON’s Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “ Plan ”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Services . THIRD SECURITY will provide or cause to be provided to INTREXON those services necessary or appropriate to support INTREXON and the Chief Executive Officer of INTREXON as set forth on Schedule A , as the same may be amended from time to time by mutual agreement of the parties (the “ Services ”).

2. Charges for Services . As consideration for the Services provided hereunder, INTREXON shall pay to THIRD SECURITY, on a monthly basis, such number of shares of Common Stock of INTREXON, rounded down to the nearest whole number, equal to a value of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00). Such value shall be based upon the closing price of the Common Stock of INTREXON on the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of each month (or, if such date is not a trading day, the most recent trading day prior to such date) (the “ Share Calculation Date ”) and shall be issued to THIRD SECURITY in accordance with Section 3 below.

3. Terms of Payment .

(a) The shares of Common Stock issuable to THIRD SECURITY pursuant to Section 2 above shall be issued and delivered to THIRD SECURITY no later than fifteen (15) days after the end of the calendar month during which the applicable Services are provided (the “ Share Issuance Date ”). If the Share Issuance Date falls during a period when, pursuant to applicable law, regulations, NYSE rules or INTREXON’s internal policies or agreements with third parties, INTREXON is not permitted to issue such shares, such shares shall be issued and delivered to THIRD SECURITY no later than the third business day following the conclusion of such period.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall INTREXON be required to issue and deliver to THIRD SECURITY any shares of INTREXON Common Stock the issuance of which would (i) require stockholder approval under NYSE rules, unless and until such stockholder approval has been obtained, or (ii) be in violation of or otherwise conflict with Section 6.03 of the Plan. If, based on the advice of counsel, INTREXON determines that it is unable to issue shares of INTREXON Common Stock in accordance with the preceding sentence on the Share Issuance Date, but is able to issue shares of INTREXON Common Stock within thirty (30) days after the Share Issuance Date, INTREXON shall deliver to THIRD SECURITY such shares of INTREXON Common Stock no later than the third business day following the thirtieth (30th) day after the Share Issuance Date. If, based on the advice of counsel, INTREXON determines that it is unable to issue shares of INTREXON Common Stock in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3(b) within thirty (30) days after the Share Issuance Date, INTREXON shall deliver to THIRD SECURITY no later than the third business


day following the thirtieth (30th) day after the Share Issuance Date an amount in cash equal to (i) Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00) minus (ii) the value of any portion of such payment that has been issued and delivered in shares of INTREXON Common Stock calculated by dividing the number of shares delivered by the closing price of the Common Stock of INTREXON on the NYSE on the applicable Share Calculation Date.

(c) All shares of Common Stock of INTREXON issued and delivered under this Agreement shall be subject to any anti-pledging and/or anti-hedging policies INTREXON may adopt from time to time, in each case as if Third Security were an executive officer of INTREXON.

(d) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4 below, the number of shares of Common Stock of INTREXON to be issued and delivered by INTREXON to THIRD SECURITY in respect of Services provided for the month during which such termination occurred shall be equal to a value of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00), pro-rated through the date of termination of the Services. For purposes of this Section 3(d) , such shares shall be issued and delivered to THIRD SECURITY in accordance with Section 3(a) and the value of such shares shall be based upon the closing price of the Common Stock of INTREXON on the NYSE on the date of termination of the Services (or, if such date is not a trading day, the first trading day thereafter).

4. Term of Agreement . The term of this Agreement shall commence immediately upon the date hereof and continue for a period of one (1) year unless earlier terminated by agreement of the parties hereto. The Agreement may be extended on a year-to-year basis by agreement of the Parties, with INTREXON’s agreement conditioned on the unanimous approval of the independent directors of INTREXON’s Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall become terminable (i) at any time by INTREXON upon delivery of written notice to THIRD SECURITY; and (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice by THIRD SECURITY upon delivery of written notice to INTREXON. The obligations in Sections 4 , 8 , 9 , 10 and 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

5. Performance of Services .

(a) Each party acknowledges that the Services will be provided only with respect to INTREXON’s business or the business of its subsidiaries and affiliates, as requested from time to time by INTREXON. THIRD SECURITY reserves the right to take all actions, including the termination of any Services or part thereof, in order to ensure that the Services are provided in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations. THIRD SECURITY shall promptly notify INTREXON and provide an explanation of any such termination of services.

(b) Any input or information needed by either party to perform or utilize the Services pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be provided by the other party promptly and in accordance with the disclosure practices of such party. Information provided to THIRD SECURITY shall be subject to the terms of confidentiality of this Agreement.

(c) For all purposes of this Agreement and the performance of Services hereunder, THIRD SERCURITY is and will be an independent contractor. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended or should be construed to make or constitute either THIRD SECURITY or any of its officers or employees an employee of INTREXON. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, THIRD SECURITY acknowledges and agrees that (i) INTREXON will not withhold any federal, state, local or social security taxes from any payments due to THIRD SECURITY pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) THIRD SECURITY is solely responsible for the payment of all such taxes, and (iii) THIRD SECURITY will not be covered by or otherwise eligible for any benefits that INTREXON provides to its employees.

6. Representations and Warranties of THIRD SECURITY . THIRD SECURITY represents, warrants and covenants that:

(a) THIRD SECURITY has full legal authority to enter into this Agreement and provide the Services hereunder, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of THIRD SECURITY enforceable against THIRD SECURITY in accordance with its terms.

(b) THIRD SECURITY shall perform the Services, or cause the Services to be performed, in a professional manner and in accordance with a reasonable standard of care, skill, timeliness and prudence. THIRD SECURITY agrees that it shall provide the Services, or cause the Services to be provided, in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations, and all of the standards and policies of INTREXON that shall be communicated to THIRD SECURITY from time to time, including but not limited to the INTREXON Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

(c) All THIRD SECURITY employees or agents who are providing any services in connection with the Services (i) are lawfully employed in compliance with all federal, state, and local professional licensure, employment, labor and immigration laws, (ii) have the requisite experience and expertise to conduct the Services in compliance with all applicable laws, (iii) have executed confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with terms at least as restrictive as the provisions in this Agreement, and (iv) have had and will continue to have any and all applicable withholding or payroll and employment taxes withheld and paid by THIRD SECURITY, and THIRD SECURITY will continue to be in such compliance.

(d) THIRD SECURITY shall provide, upon the reasonable request of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of INTREXON, information regarding the performance of the Services performed hereunder, including such information as may be requested from time to time for purposes of INTREXON’s accounting or tax analysis and reporting.

(e) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by THIRD SECURITY does not conflict with, breach or create in any third party the right to accelerate, terminate or modify any agreement or instrument to which THIRD SECURITY is a party or by which THIRD SECURITY is bound, and does not violate any applicable law. THIRD SECURITY’s performance of the Services will not violate the terms and conditions of any other agreement for services, employment or confidentiality or non-disclosure with any other individual or entity. THIRD SECURITY will not disclose to INTREXON, use or induce INTREXON to use any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of others.

(f) THIRD SECURITY shall notify INTREXON immediately upon receipt of notice of any governmental, judicial or adversarial proceeding (public or private), litigation, suit, arbitration, action, cause of action or governmental inquiry or investigation concerning THIRD SECURITY or any of its employees or agents who perform work or provide services in connection with the Services.

(g) THIRD SECURITY shall timely file, or cause be filed, all reports required to be filed by THIRD SECURITY under federal securities laws, including Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with payments made by INTREXON to THIRD SECURITY pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) THIRD SECURITY acknowledges that the shares of Common Stock of INTREXON to be issued to THIRD SECURITY pursuant to this Agreement are restricted securities and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or INTREXON receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to INTREXON that such registration is not required. THIRD SECURITY is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of stock purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the stock, the availability of certain current public

 

Page 3


information about INTREXON, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the stock to be sold, the sale being through a “broker’s transaction” or a transaction directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares of the stock being sold during any three (3)-month period not exceeding specified limitations. THIRD SECURITY further acknowledges and understands that INTREXON may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time THIRD SECURITY wishes to sell shares of Common Stock of INTREXON issued to THIRD SECURITY pursuant to this Agreement and, if so, THIRD SECURITY would be precluded from selling such shares under Rule 144 even if the one year minimum holding period has been satisfied.

(i) THIRD SECURITY acknowledges that any certificates issued to THIRD SECURITY evidencing shares of Common Stock of INTREXON shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and including related stock transfer instructions and record notations):

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ SECURITIES ACT ”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO INTREXON CORPORATION.

(j) THIRD SECURITY understands that the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon THIRD SECURITY’s representations contained in the Agreement. THIRD SECURITY hereby further represents and warrants as follows:

(i) THIRD SECURITY (1) is an “accredited investor” pursuant to Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and (2) will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire to take a pledge of) any of the shares of INTREXON Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement except in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

(ii) THIRD SECURITY has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in INTREXON and has the capacity to protect its own interests. THIRD SECURITY must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the shares of common stock are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available. THIRD SECURITY understands that INTREXON has no present intention of registering the shares of its Common Stock issuable hereunder. THIRD SECURITY is acquiring shares hereunder for THIRD SECURITY’s own account for investment only, and not with a view towards their distribution. THIRD SECURITY represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business or financial experience, THIRD SECURITY has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

 

Page 4


  (k) THIRD SECURITY acknowledges and agrees that it is aware (and that its employees and agents are aware or, upon receipt of any non-public information of INTREXON, will be advised by THIRD SECURITY) that (i) information being furnished in connection with this Agreement may contain material, non-public information regarding INTREXON and (ii) the United States securities laws prohibit any persons who have material, nonpublic information concerning INTREXON, from purchasing or selling securities of INTREXON or from communicating such information to any person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information.

7. Representations and Warranties of INTREXON . INTREXON represents, warrants and covenants that:

(a) INTREXON has full legal authority to enter into this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of INTREXON enforceable against INTREXON in accordance with its terms.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by INTREXON does not conflict with, breach or create in any third party the right to accelerate, terminate or modify any agreement or instrument to which INTREXON is a party or by which INTREXON is bound, and does not violate any applicable law.

(c) The shares of INTREXON Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement are, and when delivered pursuant to this Agreement will be, (i) duly authorized, validly issued, and outstanding; (ii) fully paid, non-assessable, and free of preemptive rights; and (iii) free and clear of any and all pledges, claims, restrictions, charges, liens, security interests, encumbrances, or other interests of third parties of any nature whatsoever.

8. Liability and Indemnification .

(a) In respect of the Services, each of the parties, including their respective successors and assigns, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party and its affiliates and their respective employees, agents, officers and directors (such party’s “ Indemnified Group ”) from and against any claims by a third party, and any resulting losses, costs, claims, suits, expenses (including, without limitation, out-of-pocket expenses and fees and disbursements of counsel), damages and awards (collectively, a “ Claim ”) arising out of or resulting from (i) its gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) a breach of any of its obligations, representations or warranties hereunder, except to the extent that such Claim arises out of or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a breach hereunder by, a member of such party’s Indemnified Group. An express condition of this obligation is that, whenever an indemnified party has information from which it may reasonably conclude an incident has occurred which could give rise to a Claim, such indemnified party shall promptly give written notice to the indemnifying party of all pertinent data surrounding such incident and, in the event a Claim is made or suit is brought, all indemnified parties shall assist the indemnifying party and cooperate in gathering information and in investigating and defending such Claim or suit. No indemnified party shall, except at its own cost, voluntarily make any payment or incur any expense in connection with any such Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party. In addition, the indemnifying party may, at its sole discretion, and at its own expense, carry out the sole management, defense and settlement of such Claim or suit, and shall provide attorneys of its sole choosing to defend against any such Claim or suit.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will THIRD SECURITY be entitled to indemnification for any matter for which it is seeking indemnification where an officer of INTREXON would not be permitted to receive indemnification under Virginia law if such officer were seeking indemnification.

(c) This Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until such time as the obligations of the parties (including their respective successors and assigns) set forth in this Section 8 have been fully satisfied.

9. Confidentiality . The parties each agree to hold in trust and maintain confidential, and, except as required by law or applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or by court order or other legal process, not to disclose to others without first obtaining the prior written approval of the other party, any information received by it from the other party or developed or otherwise obtained by it under this Agreement, including all information resulting from the provision or utilization of the Services hereunder (collectively, the “ Information ”), provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, INTREXON shall not be required to obtain prior written approval in order to provide the Information (i) to any required governmental agency or to INTREXON’s outside accountants or external legal counsel or (ii) to a third party subject to a confidentiality obligation with respect to the Information. THIRD SECURITY agrees to hold the Information of INTREXON in trust for INTREXON’s whole benefit, and, therefore, at all times while performing the Services hereunder and at all times thereafter, THIRD SECURITY shall not use any of the Information of INTREXON for THIRD SECURITY’s own benefit or for the benefit of third parties without the express prior written consent of an authorized officer of INTREXON, unless required by law or legal process. Following the termination of this Agreement in whole or in part, THIRD SECURITY shall, upon request by INTREXON, return to INTREXON all written Information that it obtained and shall not retain or allow any third party to retain photocopies or other reproductions of such Information, provided that (i) THIRD SECURITY may retain any electronic copies of the Information maintained through its archival electronic processes, (ii) THIRD SECURITY may retain any Information to the extent reasonably needed to comply with applicable tax, accounting or financial reporting requirements or to resolve any legal issues identified at the time of termination, and (iii) in the case of a partial termination of this Agreement, THIRD SECURITY may retain any Information required to perform or utilize any remaining Services covered by this Agreement. Alternatively, THIRD SECURITY may, upon receipt of the written consent of INTREXON, destroy such Information instead of returning the same pursuant to the foregoing sentence, and provide INTREXON with written notice confirming such destruction. The obligations set forth in this Section 9 shall not apply to any Information that is shown by either party to be or have become knowledge generally available to the public other than through the acts or omissions of such party.

10. Results; Proprietary Rights; Ownership of Work Product .

(a) Inventions, processes, know-how, trade secrets, data, improvements, copyrights, trademarks, patents and/or other intellectual property relating to the Services, that are conceived, generated or first reduced to practice, as the case may be, during the term of this Agreement by either INTREXON or THIRD SECURITY, or jointly by INTREXON and THIRD SECURITY, will be the property of INTREXON (“ Inventions ”).

(b) All information, discoveries, data, summaries, statistics and reports that are generated, discovered, conceived or reduced to practice in the course of or as a direct consequence of this Agreement or the Services provided (the “ Work Product ”) is and shall be deemed to be the property of INTREXON. THIRD SECURITY shall promptly disclose to INTREXON all Inventions or Work Product that THIRD SECURITY learns of or creates, and THIRD SECURITY shall execute or cause to be executed any documentation necessary or reasonably convenient to vest title to the Inventions and Work Product in INTREXON. THIRD SECURITY shall have no right to: (i) copyright any material produced directly or indirectly from the Inventions, Work Product or the work under this Agreement pursuant to the Services or this Agreement; and/or (ii) patent or file a patent application disclosing any Invention of any such

 

Page 6


process or product produced directly or indirectly from the Inventions, Work Product, or work pursuant to the Services or this Agreement. THIRD SECURITY shall report to INTREXON promptly and in reasonable written detail each notice or claim of patent or copyright infringement, and shall fully cooperate and assist INTREXON with any such claim. THIRD SECURITY hereby assigns and transfers to INTREXON all right, title and interest in and to the Inventions and agrees to take all further acts reasonably required to evidence such assignment and transfer to INTREXON at INTREXON’s expense. THIRD SECURITY shall have no obligation to assign, license, or otherwise convey any right, title or interest to INTREXON in inventions, processes, know-how, trade secrets, improvements, other assets, including but not limited to analytical methods, procedures and techniques, procedure manuals, personnel data, financial information, computer technical expertise and software (i) which have been independently developed by THIRD SECURITY prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement and (ii) which relate solely to its business or operations (collectively “ THIRD SECURITY Property ”). INTREXON and THIRD SECURITY agree that any THIRD SECURITY Property or improvements thereto which are used, improved, modified or developed solely by THIRD SECURITY under or during the term of this Agreement are the sole and exclusive property of the THIRD SECURITY.

(c) Upon request of INTREXON, whether during the term of this Agreement (including any Amendments hereto), or thereafter, THIRD SECURITY will do all lawful acts as are reasonable and customary, including, but not limited to, the execution of papers and lawful oaths and the giving of testimony, that in the opinion of INTREXON, its successors or assigns, may be necessary or desirable in obtaining, sustaining, reissuing, extending and enforcing United States and foreign patent or patents, including, but not limited to, design patents, on any and all Inventions, and for perfecting, affirming and recording INTREXON complete ownership and title thereto, and to cooperate otherwise in all proceedings and matters relating thereto and THIRD SECURITY will not take any acts adverse to INTREXON’s ownership rights herein.

11. Miscellaneous .

(a) Assignment . Neither party shall assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without first obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, which consent may be withheld by such other party in its sole discretion, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, INTREXON shall not be required to obtain prior written consent in order to transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a subsidiary of or successor to INTREXON. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Notices . All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person, by United States mail, certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, by express mail by a nationally recognized carrier, or by facsimile transmission (provided, if sent by facsimile transmission, such notice shall also be sent by one of the other methods provided under this section within 24 hours after initially sent by facsimile transmission) to the following:

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Award represents an unsecured promise of the Company to deliver, and the right of the Participant to receive, shares of Common Stock at the time and on the terms and conditions set forth herein. As a holder of this Award, the Participant has only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

2. Terms and Conditions . This Award is subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Expiration Date. This Award expires 12 months from the Date of Grant (the “Expiration Date”) unless terminated sooner as described herein, and after delivery of all shares of Common Stock that Participant is entitled to receive.

(b) Vesting of Shares .

(i) In General . Except as otherwise provided below, this Award shall be considered “Service-Based” and shall become vested and nonforfeitable on the last business day of each month during the term of this Award, with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock set forth above, provided, in each case, the Participant has been continuously employed by, or providing services to, the Company (not including Affiliates of the Company) from the Date of Grant until such time.

(ii) Terms of Payment. The number of shares of the Common Stock that are to become vested and payable to the Participant in accordance with the terms of this Award shall be based upon the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the last calendar day of the month with respect to which the Award is payable (or, if such date is not a trading day, the most recent trading day prior to such date) during the term of this Award (the “Share Calculation Date”). The shares of Common Stock that are vested and issuable to Participant shall be issued and delivered to Participant no later than fifteen (15) days after the end of the calendar month with respect to which the Award is payable (the “Share Issuance Date”). If the Share Issuance Date falls during a period when, pursuant to applicable law, regulations, NYSE rules or the Company’s internal policies or agreements with third parties, the Company is not permitted to issue such shares of Common Stock, such shares of Common Stock shall be issued and delivered to Participant no later than the third business day following the conclusion of such period.

(iii) Restrictions on Issuance . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be required to issue and deliver to Participant any shares of the Common Stock the issuance of which would (i) require shareholder approval under NYSE rules, unless and until such shareholder approval has been obtained, or (ii) be in violation of or otherwise conflict with Section 6.03 of the Plan which limits the number of shares of Common Stock that can be granted to a grantee in any calendar year to one million (1,000,000) shares of Common Stock. If, based on the advice of counsel, the Company determines that it is unable to issue shares of Common Stock in accordance with the preceding sentence on the Share Issuance Date, but


is able to issue shares of Common Stock within thirty (30) days after the Share Issuance Date, the Company shall deliver to Participant such shares of Common Stock no later than the third business day following the thirtieth (30th) day after the Share Issuance Date. If, based on the advice of counsel, the Company determines that it is unable to issue shares of Common Stock in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2(b)(iii) within thirty (30) days after the Share Issuance Date, the Company shall deliver to Participant no later than the third business day following the thirtieth (30th) day after the Share Issuance Date an amount in cash equal to (i) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) minus (ii) the value of any portion of such payment that has been issued and delivered in shares of the Common Stock calculated by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock delivered by the closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on the applicable Share Calculation Date.

(iv) Anti-Hedging/Pledging and Insider Trading Policy . All shares of Common Stock issued and delivered under this Award shall be subject to any anti-pledging and/or anti-hedging policies the Company may adopt from time to time and shall be subject to the Company’s Policy Relating to Insider Trading of Securities and Confidential Information, as amended from time to time.

(c) Transferability . Except as provided herein, this Award is nontransferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the Participant’s lifetime, may be transferred by the Participant to immediate family members or trusts or other entities on behalf of the Participant and/or immediate family members or for charitable donations. Any such transfer will be permitted only if (i) the Participant does not receive any consideration for the transfer and (ii) the Committee expressly approves the transfer. Any transferee to whom this Award is transferred shall be bound by the same terms and conditions that governed the Award during the time it was held by the Participant (which terms and conditions shall still be read from the perspective of the Participant); provided, however, that the transferee may not transfer the Award except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such transfer shall be evidenced by an appropriate written document that the Participant executes and the Participant shall deliver a copy thereof to the Committee on or prior to the effective date of the transfer. No right or interest of the Participant or any transferee in the Award shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability of the Participant or any transferee. For clarity, this Section 2(c) refers only to the right to receive the shares of Common Stock underlying this Award and not the vested shares of Common Stock.

(d) Lock-Up . Participant agrees that for a period ending three years from the vesting of the Award, Participant will not without the prior written consent of the Company, (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock received upon vesting of this Award pursuant to this Agreement (the “Equity Securities), or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Equity Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Equity Securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Equity Securities, in each case other than (A) transfers of Equity Securities as a bona fide gift or gifts, (B) transfers or dispositions of Equity Securities to any trust

for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned in a transaction not involving a disposition for value, (C) transfers or dispositions of Equity Securities to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity all of the beneficial ownership interests of which are held by the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned in a transaction not involving a disposition for value, and (D) transfers or dispositions of Equity Securities by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the undersigned. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Participant may utilize any “net withholding” provision under the Plan with respect to the Equity Securities.

3. Forfeiture of the Award .

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award, any amounts that have not become vested and payable prior to the Expiration Date shall expire and may not become earned and payable after such time. Additionally, any amounts that have not become vested and payable on or before the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company (not including Affiliates of the Company) shall expire and may not become vested and payable after such time.

(b) The portion of the Award that is not vested and payable pursuant to Section 2(b) as of the date of termination of the Participant’s employment by, or service with, the Company (not including Affiliates of the Company) will be forfeited automatically at the close of business on that date.

6. Withholding of Taxes . The Company’s obligation to deliver the shares of Common Stock, or, if applicable, cash, upon vesting of the Award is subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of any applicable federal, state and local income and employment tax and withholding requirements in a manner and form satisfactory to the Company. The Company, to the extent applicable law permits, may allow the Participant to pay such withholding amounts (i) by surrendering (actually or by attestation) shares of Common Stock that the Participant already owns (but only for the minimum required withholding), (ii) by means of a “net withholding” procedure, (iii) by such other medium of payment as the Company in its discretion shall authorize or (iv) by any combination of the allowable methods of payment set forth herein.

7. Tax Consequences. The Participant acknowledges (i) that there may be adverse tax consequences upon acquisition or disposition of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) that Participant should consult a tax adviser prior to such acquisition or disposition. The Participant is solely responsible for determining the tax consequences of the Award and for satisfying the Participant’s tax obligations with respect to the Award (including, but not limited to, any income or excise tax as resulting from the application of Code Sections 409A or 4999), and the Company shall not be liable if the Award is subject to Code Sections 409A or 4999.

8. Fractional Shares . Fractional shares shall not be issuable hereunder, and when any provision hereof may entitle the Participant to a fractional share such fractional share shall be disregarded.
