1.            Award of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to you, as of the Grant Date, the number of Units identified on the cover page of this Agreement, subject to the restrictions and other terms and conditions set forth herein. Each Unit that vests represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Share”). Prior to their settlement or forfeiture in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Units granted to you will be credited to an account in your name maintained by the Company. This account will be unfunded and maintained for book-keeping purposes only, with the Units simply representing an unfunded and unsecured contingent obligation of the Company.

 

2.            Vesting of Units. For purposes of this Agreement, “Vesting Date” means any date, including the scheduled vesting dates specified in the Vesting Schedule on the cover page to this Agreement, on which Units subject to this Agreement vest as provided in this Section 2.

 

(a)  Scheduled Vesting. So long as you remain in compliance with Section 4(c) of the Exclusivity Agreement (as defined in Section 11 of this Agreement), the Units will vest and become non-forfeitable as specified in the Vesting Schedule on the cover page to this Agreement.

 

(b)  Accelerated Vesting Upon Change in Control. The vesting of the Units shall be automatically accelerated immediately prior to a Change in Control.

 

(c)  Effect of Termination of Exclusivity Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in accordance with Section 2(b) above, if the Exclusivity Agreement is terminated or expires, or you no longer remain in compliance with Section 4(c) of the Exclusivity Agreement, for any reason prior to the vesting of all Units, then this Agreement shall terminate and all remaining unvested Units shall be forfeited; provided, that, the Company shall remain obligated to issue and deliver to you any Shares in payment and settlement of any Units that have vested in accordance with Section 2 prior to the date of such termination.

 

3.            Settlement of Units. Subject to Section 19, after any Units vest pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall, as soon as practicable (and effective no later than the first business day following the date such Units vest), cause to be issued and delivered to you one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Unit. Delivery of the Shares shall be effected by, at the Company’s option, the issuance of a stock certificate to you, by an appropriate entry in the stock register maintained by the Company’s transfer agent with a notice of issuance provided to you, or by the electronic delivery of the Shares to a brokerage account you designate, and shall be subject to compliance with all applicable legal requirements as provided in Section 12, and shall be in complete satisfaction and settlement of such vested Units. The Company will pay any original issue or transfer taxes with respect to the issue and transfer of Shares to you pursuant to this Agreement, and all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith. If the Units that vest include a fractional Unit, the Company shall round down the number of vested Units to the nearest whole Unit prior to issuance of Shares as provided herein.

 

4.            Dividends and Voting Rights. You shall not be a shareholder of the Company or have voting rights, and shall not be entitled to receive cash dividends or other distributions, with respect to the Shares underlying the Units unless and until such Shares are reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s stock ledger.

 

5.            Restrictions on Transfer. You may not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or pledge or otherwise hypothecate or assign the Units. Any such attempted sale, transfer, disposition, pledge, hypothecation or assignment shall be null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, once any Unit has been settled and the corresponding Share has been delivered, such Share shall be freely transferable, subject to compliance with Section 15(e).

 

6.            Choice of Law. This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the state of Minnesota (without regard to its conflicts or choice of law principles).

 

7.            No Right to Continued ExclusivityAgreement. This Agreement does not give you a right to continue the Exclusivity Agreement with the Company or any Affiliate.

8.            Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding in all respects on your heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, and on the successors and assigns of the Company.

 

9.            Notices. Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided. Unless and until some other address is so designated, all notices or communications by you to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its office at 6740 Shady Oak Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344, and all notices or communications by the Company to you may be mailed to you at the address provided to the Company simlutaneously with delivery of this Agreement.

 

10.            Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of FASB ASC Topic 718 - Stock Compensation) that causes the per share value of Shares to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering or recapitalization through an extraordinary dividend, the Company shall make such adjustments as it deems equitable and appropriate to the number and kind of Shares subject to this Agreement. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, including a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Company to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of the Grantee. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not provide you with any price-based anti-dilution adjustments.

(a)  Authority. Grantee has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its provisions. All action on Grantee’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Grantee, shall constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Grantee enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights.

 

(b)  Acquisition for Own Account. The Grantee represents that it is acquiring the Units (and any Shares issued upon vesting) solely for its own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Unitr or Shares or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention.

 

(c)  Information and Sophistication. The Grantee hereby: (i) represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Unit Award and regarding the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects and (ii) further represents that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of this investment. The Grantee has reviewed the reports of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml, including the risks noted therein.

 

(d)  Ability to Bear Economic Risk. The Grantee acknowledges that investment in the Units (and any Shares issued upon vesting) involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.

 

(e)  Further Limitations on Disposition. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Units and the Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Units are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Grantee has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, which permits limited resale of shares acquired in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. Grantee further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Units unless and until:

 

5

 

(i)  There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition (including, without limitation, a registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement (the Company has no present intention of filing such a registration statement); or

 

(ii)  An exemption from such registration is available such that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

 

The Grantee understands that if the Company ceases to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or if a registration statement covering the securities under the Securities Act is not in effect when the Grantee desires to sell the Shares, the Grantee may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period.

 

(f)  Accredited Investor Status. The Grantee is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

 

(g)  Residence. If Grantee is an individual, then Grantee resides in the state or province identified in the address of Grantee provided to the Company; if Grantee is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then the office or offices of Grantee in which its investment decision was made is located at the address or addresses of Grantee provided to the Company.

 

(h)  Foreign Investors. If Grantee is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), Grantee hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with the receipt of Shares upon vesting of the Units or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the receipt of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such receipt, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the acquisition, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. Grantee’s beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Grantee’s jurisdiction.

 

(i)  Tax Liability. The Grantee has reviewed with its own tax advisors and counsel the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this Restricted Stock Unit Award and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantee understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this Restricted Stock Unit Award or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

16.   Standstill Agreement.

 

(a)  Except as specifically permitted or required by this Restricted Stock Unit Award, Grantee agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until May 2, 2023 (the “Standstill Period”), without the prior written authorization or invitation of the Company’s board of directors, neither it nor any of its Affiliates (which has the meaning given to it in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or Associates, will, and the Grantee will cause each of its Affiliates and Associates not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner:

 

(i)            publicly propose or publicly announce or otherwise publicly disclose an intent to propose or enter into or agree to enter into, singly or with any other person, directly or indirectly, (x) any form of business combination or acquisition or other transaction relating to a material amount of assets or securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (y) any form of restructuring, recapitalization, or similar transaction with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (z) any form of tender or exchange offer for the shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), whether or not such transaction involves a change of control of the Company; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not preclude the tender by the Grantee of any securities of the Company into any tender or exchange offer not made, financed, or otherwise supported by the Grantee or any Affiliate or Associate thereof or preclude the ability of the Grantee to vote its shares of Common Stock for or against any transaction involving the Company’s securities where the transaction is not proposed or sponsored by the Grantee or any Affiliate or Associate thereof;

(iv)          engage in any short sale with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from a decline in the market price or value of the securities of the Company;

 

(v)          except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, take any action in support of or make any proposal or request that constitutes: (A) controlling, changing, or influencing the Company’s board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any vacancies on the Company’s board of directors, (B) any material change in the capitalization, stock repurchase programs and practices, or dividend policy of the Company, (C) any other material change in the Company’s management, business, or corporate structure, (D) seeking to have the Company waive or make amendments or modifications to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or other actions that may impede or facilitate the acquisition of control of the Company by any person, (E) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from, or to cease to be authorized to be quoted on, any securities exchange; or (F) causing a class of securities of the Company to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

(c)    The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee or its directors, officers, partners, employees, members, or agents, in each case acting in such capacity (“Grantee Agents”), from communicating privately regarding or privately advocating for or against any of the matters described in this Section with the Company’s directors or officers, so long as such communications are not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, require any public disclosure of such communications or requests.

 

(d)    As of the date of this Agreement, the Grantee is not engaged in any discussions or negotiations with any person, and the Grantee has no agreements, arrangements, or understandings, written or oral, formal or informal, and whether or not legally enforceable, with any person concerning the acquisition of economic ownership of any securities of the Company, and the Grantee has no actual and non-public knowledge that any other shareholders of the Company, including any shareholders that have a Schedule 13D currently on file with the SEC with respect to the Company, have any present or future intention of taking any actions that if taken by the Grantee would violate any of the terms of this Agreement.

17.            Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Restricted Stock Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Restricted Stock Agreement.

 

18.            Entire Agreement. This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained in it and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations and undertakings of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.

 

19.            19.999% Blocker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Shares that may be acquired by the holder upon settlment of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such settlement (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates (as defined under Rule 144 for purposes of this Section 19, “Affiliates”) and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, does not exceed 19.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).  For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. “Fundamental Change” means one of the following:

 

(1)            The acquisition by any individual, entity or Group of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 13d-3) of 50% or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of Company Stock, or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding Company Voting Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the following acquisitions will not constitute a Change in Control:

 

(A)            any acquisition of Stock or Company Voting Securities directly from the Company;

 

(B)            any acquisition of Stock or Company Voting Securities by the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries;

 

(C)            any acquisition of Stock or Company Voting Securities by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

 

(D)            any acquisition of beneficial ownership by any entity with respect to which, immediately following such acquisition, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the outstanding Voting Securities of such entity (or its Parent) is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who beneficially owned, respectively, the outstanding Stock and outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately before such acquisition in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the outstanding Stock and outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, immediately before such acquisition.

 

10

 

(3)            The consummation of a Corporate Transaction unless, immediately following such Corporate Transaction, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the outstanding Stock and outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities, as the case may be, of the of the surviving or acquiring entity (or its Parent) resulting from such Corporate Transaction in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately before such Corporate Transaction, of the outstanding Stock and outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

(i)            a Fundamental Change shall not be deemed to occur with respect to a Grantee if the acquisition of the 50% or greater interest referred to in this definition is by a Group that includes the Grantee or its Affiliates, or if at least 50% of the then outstanding common stock or combined voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities of the surviving or acquiring entity referred to in this defniition shall be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, immediately after the Corporate Transaction by a Group that includes the Grantee or its Affiliates; and

 

(ii)            to the extent that this Restricted Stock Unit Award constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Code Section 409A, then no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred upon an event described in this definition unless the event would also constitute a change in ownership or effective control of, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of, the Company under Code Section 409A.

 

This restriction may not be waived without approval by the Company’s shareholders.

 

20.            Voting Agreement. For the time period that ends May 2, 2023, the Grantee shall cause all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it and its Affiliates and Associates to be (i) present for quorum purposes at all meetings of Company shareholders and at any adjournments or postponements thereof, (ii) voted at all such meetings in favor of all directors nominated by the Company’s board of directors for election and (iii) voted in the same manner as the Company’s board of directors for all other proposals.

 

By signing the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise accepting this Restricted Stock Unit Award in a manner approved by the Company, you agree to all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

 

Restricted Stock Unit Terms and Conditions

 

1.            Award of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to you, as of the Grant Date, the number of Units identified on the cover page of this Agreement, subject to the restrictions and other terms and conditions set forth herein. Each Unit that vests represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Share”). Prior to their settlement or forfeiture in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Units granted to you will be credited to an account in your name maintained by the Company. This account will be unfunded and maintained for book-keeping purposes only, with the Units simply representing an unfunded and unsecured contingent obligation of the Company.

 

2.            Vesting of Units. For purposes of this Agreement, “Vesting Date” means any date, including the scheduled vesting dates specified in the Vesting Schedule on the cover page to this Agreement, on which Units subject to this Agreement vest as provided in this Section 2.

 

(a)  Scheduled Vesting. So long as you remain in compliance with Section 4(c) of the Exclusivity Agreement (as defined in Section 11 of this Agreement), the Units will vest and become non-forfeitable as specified in the Vesting Schedule on the cover page to this Agreement.

 

(b)  Accelerated Vesting Upon Change in Control. The vesting of the Units shall be automatically accelerated immediately prior to a Change in Control.

 

(c)  Effect of Termination of Exclusivity Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in accordance with Section 2(b) above, if the Exclusivity Agreement is terminated or expires, or you no longer remain in compliance with Section 4(c) of the Exclusivity Agreement, for any reason prior to the vesting of all Units, then this Agreement shall terminate and all remaining unvested Units shall be forfeited; provided, that, the Company shall remain obligated to issue and deliver to you any Shares in payment and settlement of any Units that have vested in accordance with Section 2 prior to the date of such termination.

 

3.            Settlement of Units. Subject to Section 19, after any Units vest pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall, as soon as practicable (and effective no later than the first business day following the date such Units vest), cause to be issued and delivered to you one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Unit. Delivery of the Shares shall be effected by, at the Company’s option, the issuance of a stock certificate to you, by an appropriate entry in the stock register maintained by the Company’s transfer agent with a notice of issuance provided to you, or by the electronic delivery of the Shares to a brokerage account you designate, and shall be subject to compliance with all applicable legal requirements as provided in Section 12, and shall be in complete satisfaction and settlement of such vested Units. The Company will pay any original issue or transfer taxes with respect to the issue and transfer of Shares to you pursuant to this Agreement, and all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith. If the Units that vest include a fractional Unit, the Company shall round down the number of vested Units to the nearest whole Unit prior to issuance of Shares as provided herein.

 

4.            Dividends and Voting Rights. You shall not be a shareholder of the Company or have voting rights, and shall not be entitled to receive cash dividends or other distributions, with respect to the Shares underlying the Units unless and until such Shares are reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s stock ledger.

 

5.            Restrictions on Transfer. You may not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or pledge or otherwise hypothecate or assign the Units. Any such attempted sale, transfer, disposition, pledge, hypothecation or assignment shall be null and void. For the avoidance of doubt, once any Unit has been settled and the corresponding Share has been delivered, such Share shall be freely transferable, subject to compliance with Section 15(e).

 

6.            Choice of Law. This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the state of Minnesota (without regard to its conflicts or choice of law principles).

 

7.            No Right to Continued ExclusivityAgreement. This Agreement does not give you a right to continue the Exclusivity Agreement with the Company or any Affiliate.

8.            Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding in all respects on your heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, and on the successors and assigns of the Company.

 

9.            Notices. Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided. Unless and until some other address is so designated, all notices or communications by you to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its office at 6740 Shady Oak Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344, and all notices or communications by the Company to you may be mailed to you at the address provided to the Company simlutaneously with delivery of this Agreement.

 

10.          Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of FASB ASC Topic 718 - Stock Compensation) that causes the per share value of Shares to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering or recapitalization through an extraordinary dividend, the Company shall make such adjustments as it deems equitable and appropriate to the number and kind of Shares subject to this Agreement. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, including a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Company to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of the Grantee. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not provide you with any price-based anti-dilution adjustments.

(a)  Authority. Grantee has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its provisions. All action on Grantee’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Grantee, shall constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Grantee enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights.

 

(b)  Acquisition for Own Account. The Grantee represents that it is acquiring the Units (and any Shares issued upon vesting) solely for its own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Unitr or Shares or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention.

 

(c)  Information and Sophistication. The Grantee hereby: (i) represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Unit Award and regarding the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects and (ii) further represents that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of this investment. The Grantee has reviewed the reports of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml, including the risks noted therein.

 

(d)  Ability to Bear Economic Risk. The Grantee acknowledges that investment in the Units (and any Shares issued upon vesting) involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.

 

5

 

(e)  Further Limitations on Disposition. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Units and the Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Units are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Grantee has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, which permits limited resale of shares acquired in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. Grantee further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Units unless and until:

 

(i)  There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition (including, without limitation, a registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement (the Company has no present intention of filing such a registration statement); or

 

(ii)  An exemption from such registration is available such that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

 

The Grantee understands that if the Company ceases to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or if a registration statement covering the securities under the Securities Act is not in effect when the Grantee desires to sell the Shares, the Grantee may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period.

 

(f)  Accredited Investor Status. The Grantee is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

 

(g)  Residence. If Grantee is an individual, then Grantee resides in the state or province identified in the address of Grantee provided to the Company; if Grantee is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then the office or offices of Grantee in which its investment decision was made is located at the address or addresses of Grantee provided to the Company.

 

(h)  Foreign Investors. If Grantee is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), Grantee hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with the receipt of Shares upon vesting of the Units or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the receipt of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such receipt, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the acquisition, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. Grantee’s beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Grantee’s jurisdiction.

 

(i)  Tax Liability. The Grantee has reviewed with its own tax advisors and counsel the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this Restricted Stock Unit Award and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantee understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this Restricted Stock Unit Award or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

16.   Standstill Agreement.

 

(a)  Except as specifically permitted or required by this Restricted Stock Unit Award, Grantee agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until May 2, 2023 (the “Standstill Period”), without the prior written authorization or invitation of the Company’s board of directors, neither it nor any of its Affiliates (which has the meaning given to it in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or Associates, will, and the Grantee will cause each of its Affiliates and Associates not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner:

(B)            any acquisition of Stock or Company Voting Securities by the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries;

 

(C)            any acquisition of Stock or Company Voting Securities by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

This restriction may not be waived without approval by the Company’s shareholders.
