1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

The Company and its subsidiaries’ principal business activity involves acquiring raw land and developed lots for the purpose of building and selling single-family and multifamily dwellings in the Puget Sound region of Washington State.

Single-family construction and infrastructure construction contracts vary but are typically less than one year.

 

On August 1, 2019, the Company changed its name from Harbor Custom Homes, Inc. to Harbor Custom Development, Inc.

 

The Company became subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, had securities registered for sale to the public pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, and started trading on NASDAQ August 28, 2020.

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2020. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2020.

The Company’s Board of Directors and Stockholders approved a 1-for-2.22 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, which was effected on April 15, 2020.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split, and any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All references to common stock, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock, share data, per share data, and related information, as applicable have been adjusted in the financial statements to reflect the split of the common stock as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

 

All numbers in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest $100.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Effective as of November 19, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors and Stockholders approved and adopted the 2018 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan allows the Administrator (as defined in the 2018 Plan), currently the Board of Directors, to determine the issuance of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options stock to eligible employees and outside directors and consultants of the Company. The Company has reserved 675,676 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2018 Plan.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument.

 

The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

Share-based payments are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service.

 

Stock-based compensation expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 when computing fair value of share-based payments, the Company has considered the following variables:

 

    September 30, 2020     September 30, 2019  
Risk-free interest rate     0.47% - 1.46 %     1.56 %
Exercise Price     $2.22 - $7.50     $ 0.18  
Expected life of grants     2.99 - 6.00 years       6.53 years  
Expected volatility of underlying stock     32.39% - 43.41 %     32.34 %
Dividends     0 %     0 %

 

The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The share price as of the grant date was determined by an independent third party 409(a) valuation until the Company became publicly traded. Now that the Company’s stock is publicly traded, the value is determined by the trading price at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical stock price volatility of comparable companies’ common stock, as the Company’s stock does not have sufficient historical trading activity. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to Section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term financial instruments approximates fair value due to relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The Company determines if receivables are past due based on days outstanding, and amounts are written off when determined to be uncollectible by management. The allowance for doubtful accounts were $0 and $11,300 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after considering their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives:

 

Construction Equipment 10 years
Leasehold improvements The lesser of 10 years or the remaining life of the lease
Furniture and Fixtures 5 years
Computers 3 years
Vehicles 10 years

 

Real Estate Assets

 

Real estate assets are recorded at cost, except when real estate assets are acquired that meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which acquired assets are recorded at fair value. Interest, property taxes, insurance and other incremental costs (including salaries) directly related to a project are capitalized during construction period of major facilities and land improvements. The capitalization period begins when activities to develop the parcel commence and ends when the asset constructed is completed. The capitalized costs are recorded as part of the asset to which they relate and are reduced when lots are sold.

 

The Company capitalized interest from related party borrowings of $203,600 and $450,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company capitalized interest from related party borrowings of $840,000 and $710,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company capitalized interest from third-party borrowings of $783,100 and $260,200 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company capitalized interest from third-party borrowings of $1,834,000 and $1,098,900 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

A property is classified as “held for sale” when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met:

 

(1) Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property;

 

(2) The property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary;

 

(3) An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated;

 

(4) The sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year of the property being under a contract to be sold;

 

(5) The property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and

 

(6) Actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

 

9

 

 

When all of these criteria have been met, the property is classified as “held for sale.”

 

In addition to the annual assessment of potential triggering events in accordance with ASC 360, the Company applies a fair value-based impairment test to the net book value assets on an annual basis and on an interim basis if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred.

 

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was no impairment recognized for any of the projects.

 

Revenue and Cost Recognition

 

Accounting Standards codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contract to provide goods or services to customers.

 

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised good or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provision of ASC 606 includes a five-step process by which the Company determines revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

ASC 606 requires the Company to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customers; (2) identify performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

 

A detailed breakdown of the five-step process for the revenue recognition of Real Estate Revenue is as follows:

 

1. Identify the contract with a customer

The Company has signed agreements with home buyers to purchase a lot with a completed house.

 

2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Performance obligations of the Company include delivering a developed lot with a completed house to the customer which meets certain specifications outlined in the contract.

 

3. Determine the transaction price

The transaction price is fixed and specified in the contract. Any subsequent change orders or price changes are required to be approved by both parties.

 

4. Allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

Each lot with a completed house is a separate performance obligation for which the specific price in the contract is allocated.

 

5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

The Company recognizes revenue when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations once title is transferred.

 

A detailed breakdown of the five-step process for the revenue recognition of Construction Materials sold to or received from contractors is as follows:

 

1. Identify the contract with a customer

There are no signed contracts. Each transaction is verbally agreed to with the customer.

 

10

 

 

2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract

To deliver or receive materials from customers and based on the verbal agreement reached.

 

3. Determine the transaction price

The Company has a set price list for receiving approved fill materials to recycle or provide customers with a combination of said materials.

 

4. Allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

There is only one performance obligation, which is to pick up or deliver the materials. The entire transaction price is therefore allocated to the performance obligation.

 

5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

The performance obligation is fulfilled and revenue recognized when the materials have been received or delivered by the Company.

 

Revenues for Real Estate and Construction Materials:

 

Revenues from contracts with customers are summarized by product category as follows:

 

    For the Three Months Ended     For the Nine Months Ended  
    September 30,     September 30,  
    2020     2019     2020     2019  
Real Estate   $ 7,704,300     $ 6,616,700     $ 25,625,300     $ 17,485,900  
Construction Materials     102,200       167,100       452,000       252,000  
Total Revenue   $ 7,806,500     $ 6,783,800     $ 26,077,300     $ 17,737,900  

 

Cost of Sales

 

Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in a project. Development cost and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the area method.

 

Costs relating to the handling of recycled construction materials and converting items into usable construction materials for resale are charged to cost of sales as incurred.

 

Advertising

 

Costs for designing, producing, and communicating advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0 and $4,400, respectively. Advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $8,500 and $6,000, respectively.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842) which amended guidance for lease arrangements to increase transparency and comparability by providing additional information to users of financial statements regarding an entity’s leasing activities. Subsequent to the issuance of Topic 842, the FASB clarified the guidance through several ASUs; hereinafter the collection of lease guidance is referred to as ASC 842. The revised guidance seeks to achieve this objective by requiring reporting entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for substantially all lease arrangements.

 

11

 

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach and recognized a right of use (“ROU”) asset and related liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $474,200 related to the operating lease for office and warehouse space.

 

As part of the adoption, the Company elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which, among other things, allowed the Company to:

 

  1.

Not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease

component;

     
  2. Not to apply the recognition requirements in ASC 842 to short-term leases; and
     
  3.

Not record a right of use asset or right of use liability for leases with an asset or liability balance that

would be considered immaterial.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss, credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates.

 

The Company recognizes a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. There are no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (the Update). This ASU requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption has been reflected in the right of use asset and liability on the Balance Sheet.

 

On December 18, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, Income taxes (Topic 740) (the Update). The Board issued this update as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this standard.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is present when the sum of undiscounted estimates future cash flow expected to result from use of the assets is less than carrying value. If impairment is present, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no impairment losses recognized for long-lived assets.

Offering Costs associated with a Public Offering

 

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs of approximately $1,401,100 consist principally of costs incurred in connection with the Initial Public Offering. These costs, together with the underwriters’ discount, were netted against the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering.

 

2. CONCENTRATION, RISKS, AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

Cash Concentrations

 

The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. These balances are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. These balances may exceed the federal insurance limits. Uninsured cash balances were $2,100,400 and $177,600 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and the World. The Company is monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, in addition to the impact on its employees. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of this report.

 

The COVID-19 Pandemic has had the following effect on the Company’s business thus far:

 

  1. Construction not related to safety, spoliation, or critical infrastructure was halted by Washington State Governor Inslee (the “Governor”) on March 23, 2020. Some operations could continue based on exceptions to the shutdown order, but the Company did experience a significant operational slowdown.
  2. Soundview Estates (a large Harbor Custom Development, Inc. site) continued selective activities that yielded rock byproduct, considered an essential material, needed for critical infrastructure projects for an Amazon distribution center and a local hospital.
  3. On April 24, 2020, the Governor approved the restart of most residential housing projects, deeming them essential, as long as they adhered to certain safety measures. Under this order, most existing permitted residential homes or projects are considered essential. The order allowed the Company to resume near full construction activities on all permitted lots.
  4. On May 1, 2020, the Governor established a four-phase plan for Washington businesses to follow. All of the Company’s development sites are now in Phase 2 of the plan where construction can continue and new construction is allowed as long as the Company creates a safety plan adhering to certain safety practices, which the Company has done.

 

While there could ultimately be a material impact on operations and liquidity of the Company, at the time of issuance of this report, the ultimate impact could not be determined.

7. NOTE PAYABLE PPP

 

On April 11, 2020, the Company entered into a term note with Timberland Bank, with a principal amount of $582,800 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loan”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (“PPP Term Note”). The PPP Term Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00%, with the first six months of interest deferred. Beginning in November 2020, the Company will make 18 equal monthly payments of principal and interest with the final payment due in April 2022. The PPP Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

 

The PPP Term Note is unsecured and guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. The Company may apply for forgiveness of the PPP Term Note, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to the sum of payroll costs, covered rent and mortgage obligations, and covered utility payments incurred by the Company during the applicable period beginning upon receipt of PPP Term Note funds, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. At this time, management is not in a position to quantify the portion of the PPP Loan that may be forgiven.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the balance of the PPP Loan was $582,800.

 

Future note payable loan maturities are as follows:

Overview and Outlook

 

We are a real estate development company engaged in all aspects of the land development cycle, including land acquisition and development, entitlements, and the acquisition, development, construction, marketing, sale, and management of various residential projects in Western Washington’s Puget Sound region, including Gig Harbor, Bremerton, Silverdale, Bainbridge Island, Allyn, Belfair, and Port Orchard.

 

Utilizing a strategic business plan to provide a diverse range of construction services, we have a product and services portfolio that can fully satisfy the needs for the majority of our targeted new home buyers. Our product and service portfolios provide value by offering highly coveted developed residential properties to public national builders and providing affordable new homes to single-family buyers through an on-demand supply of commuter oriented single-family lots with flexible and customizable contemporary home plans. In addition to the single-family home market, we have begun to develop townhome and other multifamily projects. We are currently investigating a potential foray into the rental market and vacation/secondary home market.

 

With over $5,000,000 worth of heavy equipment, our development infrastructure division is able to efficiently create a diverse range of residential communities and improved lots in a cost-effective manner. We own and control five Western Washington residential communities containing over 532 lots in various stages of development and two sites to be developed as apartment complexes.

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, the U.S. economy was impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Sales of single-family homes slowed nationally primarily as a result of the reduction in inventory. The Puget Sound Region saw significant inventory reductions which resulted in rising home prices in most counties.

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by all financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $11,851,300 as compared to $6,711,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Cash Resources

 

Although the expected revenue growth and control of expenses leads management to believe that it is probable that our cash resources will be sufficient to meet cash requirements through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, we may require additional funding to finance the growth of our current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all. In that event, we would be required to change our growth strategy and seek funding on that basis, though there is no guarantee we will be able to do so.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

 

Inflation

 

Our homebuilding operations can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material, and construction costs. In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers. While we attempt to pass on cost increases to customers through increased prices, when weak housing market conditions exist, we may be unable to offset cost increases with higher selling prices.

 

25

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk, and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation (the “Evaluation”) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on the Evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not operating effectively and that a material weakness was present as of September 30, 2020. The material weakness identified during management’s assessment was a lack of sufficient internal accounting expertise related to GAAP.

 

As a result of this evaluation, additional analysis was performed to determine whether several steps undertaken by the Company are reasonably likely to materially affect and improve our internal control over financial reporting going forward. These recent steps undertaken by the Company are as follows: hired a Chief Financial Officer with SEC reporting and GAAP experience on September 21, 2020; added an independent audit committee chair with SEC reporting and GAAP experience on October 13, 2020; added another independent board member on October 13, 2020; and engaged a third party firm on October 14, 2020 to perform an objective assessment of our internal control structure and provide Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) readiness assistance. This assessment is still ongoing and, as such, the results are not yet available.

Exhibit 10.1

 

HARBOR CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT, INC.

2020 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN

 

1. Purpose

 

This Harbor Custom Development, Inc. 2020 Restricted Stock Plan (this “Plan”) is intended to provide incentives which will attract, retain, motivate, and reward executive officers, non-employee directors, and other key employees of Harbor Custom Development, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”) or any of its Affiliates, by providing them opportunities to acquire shares of the common stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company. “Affiliate,” as used herein, shall mean any corporation or other entity owning, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding stock of the Company, or in which the Company or any such corporation or other entity owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding capital stock (determined by aggregate voting rights) or other voting interests. Furthermore, the Plan is intended to assist in further aligning the interests of the Company’s executive officers, non-employee directors, and other key employees with those of its shareholders. The Plan has been adopted and approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company and shall become effective as of the Effective Date, as defined below.

 

2. Administration

 

(a) The Plan generally shall be administered by a committee (the “Committee”) which shall be the Compensation Committee of the Board or another committee appointed by the Board from among its members, subject to the rules of any stock exchange then listing the Common Stock. Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Committee shall be comprised solely of not less than two members who each shall qualify as a (i) “Non-Employee Director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) (or any successor rule) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (ii) an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder. The Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish such rules and regulations as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations and interpretations and to take such action in connection with the Plan and any Awards granted hereunder as it deems necessary or advisable. All determinations and interpretations made by the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on all Participants, as defined below, and their legal representatives.

 

(b) No member of the Board, no member of the Committee, and no agent of the Committee who is an employee of the Company shall be liable for any act or failure to act hereunder, except in circumstances involving his or her bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or for any act or failure to act hereunder by any other member or employee or by any agent to whom duties in connection with the administration of this Plan have been delegated. The Company shall indemnify members of the Board, members of the Committee, and any agent of the Committee who is an employee of the Company against any and all liabilities or expenses to which they may be subjected by reason of any act or failure to act with respect to their duties on behalf of the Plan, except in circumstances involving such person’s bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

 

  1  
 

 

(c) The Committee has the authority to grant Awards to the Participants. The Committee may delegate such of its powers and authority under the Plan as it deems appropriate to designated officers or employees of the Company. In addition, the independent members of the full Board may exercise any of the powers and authority of the Committee under the Plan. In the event of such delegation of authority or exercise of authority by the Board, references in the Plan to the Committee shall be deemed to refer, as appropriate, to the agent of the Committee or the Board. The selection of members of the Committee or any subcommittee thereof, and any delegation by the Committee to designated officers or employees, under this Section 2(c) shall comply with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the performance-based provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, and the regulations promulgated under each of such statutory provisions, or the respective successors to such statutory provisions or regulations, as in effect from time to time, except to the extent that the Board determines that such compliance is not necessary or desirable. The Committee may employ such legal or other counsel, consultants, and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any opinion or computation received from any such counsel, consultant, or agent. Expenses incurred by the Committee in the engagement of such counsel, consultant, or agent shall be paid by the Company or any of its Affiliates whose employees have benefited from the Plan, as determined by the Committee.

 

3. Participants

 

Participants shall consist of such executive officers, non-employee directors, and other key employees (individually, “Participant” and collectively, “Participants”) of the Company or any of its Affiliates as the Committee in its sole discretion determines to be significantly responsible for the success and future growth and profitability of the Company and whom the Committee may designate from time to time to receive Awards under the Plan. Designation of a Participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such person to receive an Award in any other year or, once designated, to receive the same type or amount of Award as granted to the Participant in any other year. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and in determining the type and amount of Awards.

 

4. Types of Awards and Vesting Restrictions

 

Stock Awards and Performance Awards may, as determined by the Committee, in its discretion, constitute Performance-Based Awards, as described in Section 8 below. Awards granted to Participants under the Plan may be subject to a graded vesting schedule with a minimum vesting period of two years, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Awards shall be evidenced by Award agreements (which need not be identical) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such other form as the Committee may from time to time approve; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and any such agreements, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail.

 

5. Common Stock Available Under the Plan

 

(a) Shares Available. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards granted under this Plan shall be 700,000 shares of Common Stock, which may be authorized and unissued or treasury shares, subject to any adjustments made in accordance with Section 9 below.

 

  2  
 

 

(b) Shares Underlying Awards That Again Become Available. The following shares of Common Stock shall again become available for Awards: (1) any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award that are forfeited to the Company under Section 11(b) or 11(c) of this Plan or under the provisions of the applicable Award agreement; (2) any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award that are retained by the Company as payment of the tax withholding obligations with respect to an Award; and (3) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of previously owned shares of Common Stock surrendered to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations with respect to an Award.

 

6. Stock Awards

 

The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Awards and shall, in its sole discretion, determine such Participants in the Plan who will receive Stock Awards and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying each Stock Award. Each Stock Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the Plan as shall be determined by the Committee and as set forth in the Award agreement, including, without limitation, restrictions on the sale or other disposition of such shares, and the right of the Company to reacquire such shares for no consideration upon termination of the Participant’s employment or membership on the Board, as applicable, within specified periods. The Committee may require the Participant to deliver a duly signed stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to Common Stock covered by such Stock Award and/or that the stock certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody or bear restrictive legends until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed. The Award agreement shall specify whether the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award, all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including the right to receive dividends or other distributions and to vote the shares.

 

7. Performance Awards

 

(a) In General. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Awards and shall, in its sole discretion, determine such Participants who will receive Performance Awards and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to each Performance Award. Each Performance Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the Plan as shall be determined by the Committee and as set forth in the Award agreement. The Committee shall set performance targets at its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the Participants, and may attach to such Performance Awards one or more restrictions. Performance targets may be based upon, without limitation, Company-wide, divisional and/or individual performance.

 

(b) Adjustment of Performance Targets. With respect to those Performance Awards that are not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards (as described below), the Committee shall have the authority at any time to make adjustments to performance targets for any outstanding Performance Awards which the Committee deems necessary or desirable unless at the time of establishment of goals the Committee shall have precluded its authority to make such adjustments.

 

  3  
 

 

(c) Payout. Payment of earned Performance Awards shall be made shares of Common Stock and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions prescribed or authorized by the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to elect to defer the receipt of any Performance Award based upon a performance period of at least 12 months, provided that the Participant performed services continuously from a date no later than the date upon which the performance criteria are established through a date no earlier than the date upon which the Participant makes such deferral election. An election to defer the receipt of a Performance Award must be made no later than the date that is six months before the end of the performance period, provided that in no event may an election to defer a Performance Award be made after such Performance Award has become both substantially certain to be paid and readily ascertainable. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, a Participant shall not be permitted to elect to defer the receipt of a Performance Award unless such election complies with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations, Rulings and Notices of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued thereunder.

 

8. Performance-Based Awards

 

(a) In General. Certain Stock Awards and Performance Awards granted under the Plan, and the compensation attributable to such Awards, are intended to (i) qualify as Performance-Based Awards (as defined in the next sentence) or (ii) be otherwise exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code. Certain Awards granted under the Plan may be granted in a manner such that Awards qualify as “performance-based compensation” (as such term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) and thus be exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code (“Performance-Based Awards”). Awards may only qualify as Performance-Based Awards if at the time of grant the Committee is comprised solely of two or more “outside directors” (as such term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder).

 

(b) Other Performance-Based Awards. Stock Awards and Performance Awards granted under the Plan should qualify as Performance-Based Awards if, as determined by the Committee, in its discretion, either the granting or vesting of such Award is subject to the achievement of a performance target or targets based on one or more of the performance measures specified in Section 8(c) below. With respect to such Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards:

 

i. the Committee shall establish in writing (x) the objective performance-based goals applicable to a given period and (y) the individual employees or class of employees to which such performance-based goals apply no later than 90 days after the commencement of such period (but in no event after 25% of such period has elapsed);

 

ii. no Performance-Based Awards shall be payable to or vest with respect to, as the case may be, any Participant for a given period until the Committee certifies in writing that the objective performance goals (and any other material terms) applicable to such period have been satisfied; and

 

iii. after the establishment of a performance goal, the Committee shall not revise such performance goal or increase the amount of compensation payable thereunder (as determined in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code) upon the attainment of such performance goal.

 

  4  
 

 

(c) Performance Measures. The Committee may use the following performance measures (either individually or in any combination) to set performance targets with respect to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards: net sales; pretax income before allocation of corporate overhead and bonus; budget; earnings per share; net income; division, group, or corporate financial goals; return on shareholders’ equity; return on assets; return on net assets; return on investment capital; gross margin return on investment; gross margin dollars or percent; sales per square foot or per hour; payroll as a percentage of sales; inventory shrink; inventory turnover; employee turnover; sales, general, and administrative expense; attainment of strategic and operational initiatives; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of Common Stock or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company, if any; market share; gross profits; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization; economic value-added models; comparisons with various stock market indices; and/or reductions in costs. The foregoing criteria shall have any reasonable definitions that the Committee may specify, which may include or exclude any or all of the following items as the Committee may specify: extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items; effects of accounting changes; effects of financing activities; expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives; other non-operating items; spending for acquisitions; effects of divestitures; and effects of litigation activities and settlements. Any such performance criterion or combination of such criteria may apply to the Participant’s Award opportunity in its entirety or to any designated portion or portions of the Award opportunity, as the Committee may specify.

 

9. Adjustment Provisions

 

If there shall be any change in Common Stock of the Company, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividend in kind, or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to shareholders of the Company, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to adjust, in an equitable manner, the number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards, and the Fair Market Value of Common Stock and other value determinations applicable to outstanding Awards. Appropriate adjustments may also be made by the Committee in the terms of any Awards under the Plan to reflect such changes or distributions and to modify any other terms of outstanding Awards on an equitable basis, including modifications of performance targets and changes in the length of performance periods. In addition, other than with respect to Awards intended to constitute Performance-Based Awards, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or any of its Affiliates or the financial statements of the Company, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles.

 

10. Change In Control

 

(a) Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award agreement, if there is a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below), all unvested Awards granted under the Plan shall become fully vested immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and such vested Awards shall be paid out or settled, as applicable, within 60 days upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, subject to requirements of applicable laws and regulations. The Committee shall have full discretion, notwithstanding anything herein or in an Award agreement to the contrary, with respect to an outstanding Award, upon the merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, to provide that the securities of another entity may be substituted hereunder for the shares of Common Stock and to make equitable adjustment with respect thereto.

(b) Definition. For purposes of this Section 10, (i) if there is an employment agreement, at will offer letter, or director agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates in effect (for the avoidance of doubt, any Change of Control Agreement between the Participant and the Company shall not be considered an employment agreement, offer letter, or director agreement for the purposes of this Plan), “Change in Control” shall have the same definition as the definition of “Change in Control” contained in such employment agreement, at will offer letter, or director agreement; or (ii) if “Change in Control” is not defined in or if there is no such employment agreement, at will offer letter, or director agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates in effect, “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred upon any of the following events:

The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of either (i) the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (a) any acquisition directly from the Company, (b) any acquisition by the Company, (c) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (d) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (a), (b) and (c) of subsection (ii) of this Section 10(b); or

 

ii. Consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (a) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination 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 entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be; (b) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination, or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination; and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

 

  6  
 

 

iii. Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

11. Termination of Employment or Membership on the Board

 

(a) Membership on the Board. A non-employee director’s membership on the Board is considered “terminated” in the event of his or her (i) Removal; (ii) not being re-nominated for membership on the Board for the next succeeding period; (iii) being nominated for membership on the Board for the next succeeding period but not being reelected for membership on the Board for such period by the Company’s shareholders; or (iv) resignation from the Board, in any such case, prior to the actual vesting or lapse of any other forfeiture restrictions, as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. “Removal” for purposes of this provision shall mean the removal of a non-employee director from the Board, with or without cause, in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, or the Washington Business Corporation Act.

 

(b) Death or Disability. Subject to any written agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates, if a Participant’s employment or membership on the Board is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined below):

 

i. all unvested Stock Awards held by the Participant on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or membership on the Board due to death or the date of the termination of his or her employment or membership on the Board related to Disability, as the case may be, shall immediately be forfeited as of such date; and

 

ii. all unearned and/or unvested Performance Awards held by the Participant on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment due to death or the date of the termination of his or her employment related to Disability, as the case may be, shall treated as follows:

 

A. Unearned and/or unvested Performance Awards with performance periods of greater than one year for which the Participant has completed a minimum of at least one year into a performance period shall immediately become earned or vested as of such date and shall be paid out and/or settled based on the Company’s and/or Participant’s performance immediately prior to the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or membership on the Board due to death or the date of the termination of his or her employment or membership on the Board related to Disability on a pro-rated basis; and

 

B. All other unearned and/or unvested Performance Awards shall immediately be forfeited by such Participant as of such date.

 

(c) Other Termination. Subject to any written agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates, if a Participant’s employment or membership on the Board is terminated for any reason, including without limitation, retirement, other than due to death or Disability, all unearned or unvested Awards held by the Participant on the date of the termination of his or her employment or membership on the Board shall immediately be forfeited by such Participant as of such date.

 

  7  
 

 

(d) Discretionary Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that any or all unvested Stock Awards held by the Participant on the date of the Participant’s death and/or the date of the termination of the Participant’s employment or membership on the Board shall immediately become vested as of such date.

 

(e) Disability Definition. For the purposes of this Section 11, (i) if there is an employment agreement, at will offer letter, or director agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates in effect (for the avoidance of doubt, any Change of Control Agreement between the Participant and the Company shall not be considered an employment agreement, offer letter, or director agreement for the purposes of this Plan), “Disability” shall have the same definition as the definition of “Disability” contained in such employment agreement, at will offer letter, or director agreement; or (ii) if “Disability” is not defined in such employment agreement, at will offer letter, or director agreement or if there is no employment agreement, at will offer letter, or director agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates in effect, “Disability” shall mean the following, as may be further modified or supplemented by the Committee in its sole discretion: As a result of the Participant’s physical or mental illness, the Participant is absent from the Participant’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for three consecutive months, and within 30 days after written Notice of Termination (as defined below) is given, the Participant does not return to the full-time performance of the Participant’s duties. For purposes of this Plan, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice from the Company which indicates that the Participant has been determined to have Disability within the definition of this Section 11(d) of this Plan and which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such determination.

 

12. Section 409A of the Code

 

(a) Awards under the Plan are intended either to be exempt from the rules of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy those rules and shall be construed accordingly. However, the Company shall not be liable to any Participant or other holder of an Award with respect to any Award-related adverse tax consequences arising under Section 409A or other provision of the Code.

 

(b) If any provision of the Plan or an Award agreement contravenes any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated under Code Section 409A or could cause an Award to be subject to the interest and penalties under Code Section 409A, such provision of the Plan or Award shall be deemed automatically modified to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A. Moreover, any discretionary authority that the Committee may have pursuant to the Plan shall not be applicable to an Award that is subject to Code Section 409A to the extent such discretionary authority will contravene Section 409A or the regulations or guidance promulgated thereunder.

 

  8  
 

 

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan or any Award granted hereunder to the contrary, no acceleration shall occur with respect to any Award to the extent such acceleration would cause the Plan or an Award granted hereunder to fail to comply with Code Section 409A.

 

(d) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan or any applicable Award agreement to the contrary, no payment shall be made with respect to any Award granted under this Plan to a “specified employee” (as such term is defined for purposes of Code Section 409A) prior to the six-month anniversary of the employee’s separation of service to the extent such six-month delay in payment is required to comply with Code Section 409A.

 

13. Transferability

 

Each Award granted under the Plan to a Participant shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the discretion of the Committee, an Award may permit the transferability of such Award by a Participant solely to members of the Participant’s immediate family or trusts or family partnerships for the benefit of such persons, subject to any restriction included in the Award agreement.

 

14. Other Provisions

 

Awards granted under the Plan may also be subject to such other provisions (whether or not applicable to the Award granted to any other Participant) as the Committee determines on the date of grant to be appropriate, including without limitation, for the forfeiture of, or restrictions on resale or other disposition of, Common Stock acquired under any form of the Award, for the acceleration of vesting of Awards, or to comply with federal and state securities laws, or understandings or conditions as to the Participant’s employment or membership on the Board, in addition to those specifically provided for under the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to retract any Award granted under the Plan in case of a material restatement of the financial statements of the Company or if it is otherwise determined by the Committee that the previously granted Award was not earned by the Participant.

 

15. Fair Market Value

 

For purposes of this Plan and any Awards granted hereunder, “Fair Market Value” shall mean, as of any given date, the closing price of a share of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or such other public trading market on which shares of Common Stock are listed or quoted on that date. If there is no regular public trading market for shares of Common Stock, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined by the Committee in good faith. In each case, the Fair Market Value shall be determined without regard to whether shares of Common Stock are restricted or represent a minority interest.

 

16. Withholding

 

All payments or distributions of Awards made pursuant to the Plan shall be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements. If the Company proposes or is required to distribute Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, it may require the Participant receiving such Common Stock to remit to it or to the Affiliate that employs such Participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery of any certificates for such Common Stock. In lieu thereof, the Company or the Affiliate employing the Participant shall have the right to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due from the Company or the Affiliate, as the case may be, to the Participant receiving Common Stock, as the Committee shall prescribe. The Committee may, in its discretion, and subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt (including any as may be required to satisfy applicable tax and/or non-tax regulatory requirements), permit a Participant to pay all or a portion of the federal, state and local withholding taxes arising in connection with any Award consisting of shares of Common Stock by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld, such tax calculated at rates required by statute or regulation.

 

  9  
 

 

17. Tenure

 

A Participant’s right, if any, to continue to serve the Company as an executive officer, non-employee director, other key employee, or otherwise shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a Participant under the Plan.

 

18. Unfunded Plan

 

Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

 

19. No Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, or Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

 

20. Duration

 

(a) Amendment and Termination. No Award shall be granted more than seven years after the Effective Date; provided, however, that the terms and conditions applicable to any Award granted prior to such date may thereafter be amended or modified by mutual agreement between the Company and the Participant or such other persons as may then have an interest therein. The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan from time to time or suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. However, no action authorized by this Section 20 shall reduce the amount of any existing Award or change the terms and conditions thereof without the Participant’s consent, except as otherwise provided for in Section 9. No amendment of the Plan shall, without approval of the shareholders of the Company, (i) increase the total number of shares which may be issued under the Plan; (ii) modify the requirements as to eligibility for Awards under the Plan; or (iii) otherwise materially amend the Plan as provided in Nasdaq Marketplace Rules or the rules of another public trading market on which shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted.

 

  10  
 

 

21. Governing Law

 

THIS PLAN, AWARDS GRANTED HEREUNDER AND ACTIONS TAKEN IN CONNECTION HEREWITH SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON (REGARDLESS OF THE LAW THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE WASHINGTON PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS).

 

22. Severability

 

In case any provision of this Plan shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

23. Effective Date; Termination; Days

 

(a) The Plan shall be effective as of the date on which the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company at an annual meeting or any special meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Effective Date”) and such approval of shareholders shall be a condition to the right of each Participant to receive Awards hereunder.

 

(b) This Plan shall terminate on the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date (unless sooner terminated by the Board).

 

(c) Any reference to the word “day” or “days” herein shall mean calendar day or calendar days, respectively, unless otherwise expressly provided.

[The Committee may provide for any vesting schedule it deems appropriate, from immediate vesting to any daily, monthly or yearly vesting up to seven years and in combination with any or none of the performance measures permitted to be used under the Plan, either individually or in any combination and with or without acceleration. Sample vesting language as follows:

  12  
 

 

4. Restrictions Prior to Vesting. The Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be promptly issued and evidenced by a certificate or certificates for such shares issued in the Participant’s name or by book entry at the Company’s option. The Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock that are vested, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to them; provided, however, that the shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability in Sections 6 and 7 below. Unless otherwise provided in this Section 4, the Company shall hold the certificate or certificates for such shares until the date the restrictions on transferability are removed in accordance with Sections 6 and 8 below. The Company may, in its sole discretion and at any time prior to the date the restrictions on transferability are removed in accordance with Sections 6 and 8 below, require (i) that the stock certificate or certificates representing such shares shall be imprinted with a legend stating that the shares represented thereby are the restricted shares subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, as such, may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and/or (ii) that the Participant shall, upon receipt of the certificate or certificates therefor, deposit such certificate or certificates together with a stock power or other like instrument of transfer, appropriately endorsed in blank, with an escrow agent designated by the Company, which may be the Company, its outside counsel, or its transfer agent under a deposit agreement containing such terms and conditions as the Company shall approve, with the expenses of such escrow to be borne by the Company.

 

5. Adjustment Provisions. If under Section 9 of the Plan the Participant, as the owner of the shares of the Restricted Stock, shall be entitled to new, additional or different shares of stock or securities, (i) the Company may require that the certificate or certificates for, or other evidences of, such new, additional or different shares or securities, together with a stock power or other instrument of transfer appropriately endorsed, shall be imprinted with a legend as provided in Section 4 above, be deposited by the Participant under the deposit agreement provided for therein, and (ii) such certificate or certificates for, or other evidences of, such new, additional or different shares or securities shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability as provided in Sections 6 and 7 below.

 

6. Removal of Transfer Restrictions. The shares of the Restricted Stock shall be subject to restrictions on transferability. Subject to Section 8 below, such restrictions shall be removed from such shares according to the vesting schedule set forth above. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if there is a Change in Control of the Company, all unvested shares of Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement shall become fully vested immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and such vested shares of Restricted Stock shall be paid out or settled, as applicable, within 60 days upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, subject to requirements of applicable laws and regulations.

 

7. No Transfer. During the period when the Restricted Stock is subject to the restrictions on transferability, none of the shares of the Restricted Stock subject to such restrictions shall be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt by the Participant to dispose of any shares of the Restricted Stock in any such manner shall result in the immediate forfeiture of such shares.

 

8. Termination of Employment or Membership on the Board.

 

a. Death or Disability. If the Participant’s employment or membership on the Board, as applicable, is terminated due to death or Disability all unvested shares of Restricted Stock held by the Participant on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or membership on the Board due to death or the date of the termination of his or her employment related to Disability, as the case may be, shall immediately be forfeited as of such date.

 

b. Other Termination.

  13  
 

 

c. Discretionary Accelerated Vesting.

9. Tax Withholding. All payments or distributions of an Award made pursuant to this Agreement shall be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements. If the Company proposes or is required to distribute Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, it may require the Participant receiving such Common Stock to remit to it or to the Affiliate that employs such Participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery of any certificates for such Common Stock. In lieu thereof, the Company or the Affiliate employing the Participant shall have the right to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due from the Company or the Affiliate, as the case may be, to the Participant receiving Common Stock, as the Committee shall prescribe. The Committee may, in its discretion, and subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt (including any as may be required to satisfy applicable tax and/or non-tax regulatory requirements), permit a Participant to pay all or a portion of the federal, state, and local withholding taxes arising in connection with this Award consisting of shares of Common Stock by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld, such tax calculated at rates required by statute or regulation.

 

10. Legend. If the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine that it is necessary, to comply with applicable securities laws, the certificate or certificates representing any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Participant under this Agreement shall bear an appropriate legend in form and substance, as determined by the Company, giving notice of applicable restrictions on transfer under or with respect to such laws. Unless and until the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Participant under this Agreement are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), all certificates representing such shares and any certificates subsequently issued in substitution therefor and any certificate for any securities issued pursuant to any stock split, share reclassification, stock dividend or other similar capital event shall bear legends in substantially the following form:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED OR OTHERWISE QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR UNDER THE APPLICABLE OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION

 

UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, UNLESS PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS THEREFROM.

 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT, DATED ____________, BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ISSUE WHICH RESTRICTS THE TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE TO THE COMPANY UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

 

  14  
 

 

Appropriate stop transfer instructions with respect to such shares have been placed with the Company’s transfer agent.

 

11. Securities Act. The Participant covenants and agrees with the Company that if, with respect to any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement, there does not exist a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement shall have become effective and shall include, or shall be accompanied by, as applicable, a prospectus that is current with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to this Agreement, (i) he or she takes the shares of Common Stock for his or her own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, (ii) any subsequent offer for sale or sale of any such shares shall be made either pursuant to (x) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement shall have become effective and shall be current with respect to the shares being offered and sold, or (y) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption, the Participant shall, prior to any offer for sale or sale of such shares, obtain a favorable written opinion from counsel for or approved by the Company as to the applicability of such exemption and (iii) the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares shall bear a legend to the effect of the foregoing.

 

12. Conflicts. This Agreement is subject to all terms, conditions, limitations, and restrictions contained in the Plan, which shall be controlling in the event of any conflicting or inconsistent provisions. In the event, however, of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan and the provisions of an employment or change-in-control agreement between the Company and the Participant, as applicable, the provisions of the latter shall prevail.

 

13. No Employment Contract. This Agreement is not a contract of employment and the terms of the Participant’s employment or membership on the Board shall not be affected hereby or by any agreement referred to herein except to the extent specifically so provided herein or therein. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose any obligation on the Company to continue the Participant’s employment or membership on the Board, and it shall not impose any obligation on the Participant’s part to remain in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

14. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORD WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, EXCLUDING PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

 

15. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
