5.2 Taxes. Holder has reviewed with Holder’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Holder is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Holder understands that Holder (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Holder’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Holder understands that Holder will recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes under Section 83 of the Code as the Shares vest and the restrictions set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 lapse. Holder understands that Holder may elect to be taxed for federal income tax purposes on the Grant Date rather than as and when the Shares vest by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days from the Grant Date. A form of election under Section 83(b) of the Code is attached to the Grant Notice as Exhibit B. If the Holder makes an election under Section 83(b), the grant of Shares shall be conditioned upon the prompt payment by the Holder to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and other amounts required by law to be withheld (the “Withholding Taxes”) in connection with such election. If the Holder does not make such an election, the Holder shall pay to the Company any required Withholding Taxes upon the lapse of all restrictions, and the delivery of the Shares shall be conditioned upon the prior payment of the applicable Withholding Taxes by the Holder.
5.3 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Holder is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Shares and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exceptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exceptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this
Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exceptive rule.
5.4 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon Holder, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Shares. In its absolute discretion, the Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan and this Agreement.
5.5 Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.
(a) | Any share certificate(s) evidencing the Shares issued hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend and any other legend required by any applicable federal and state securities laws: |
THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO, AND ARE TRANSFERABLE ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, DATED [__________ __, 20__], BETWEEN THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THESE SHARES AND NAVIDEA BIOPHARMACEUTICALS, INC., WHICH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION, AND THE HOLDER HEREOF ACCEPTS AND HOLDS THIS CERTIFICATE SUBJECT TO AND WITH NOTICE OF ALL OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS OF SAID AGREEMENT AND AGREES TO BE BOUND THEREBY.
(b) | Holder agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. |
(c) | The Company shall not be required: (i) to transfer on its books any common shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such common shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred. |
5.6 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company, and any notice to be given to Holder shall be addressed to Holder at the address given beneath Holder’s signature on the Grant Notice. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.6, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
5.7 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
5.8 Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to conflicts of laws thereof. Should any provision of this Agreement be determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.
5.9 Conformity to Securities Laws. Holder acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Shares are to be issued, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.
5.10 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Holder and by a duly authorized representative of the Company.
5.11 No Employment Rights. If Holder is an Employee, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Holder any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which are expressly reserved, to discharge Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company and Holder.
5.12 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.
