PSAV, INC.

2016 Equity Incentive Plan

FORM OF

Restricted Stock Award Agreement

This Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made by and between PSAV, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [●] (the “Participant”), effective as of [●] (the “Date of Grant”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the PSAV, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended and/or amended and restated from time to time, the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement, and capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has authorized and approved the grant of an Award to the Participant of restricted Common Stock of the Company (“Restricted Stock”) in exchange for the Participant’s interest in PSAV Holdings LLC (the “Profits Interests”) pursuant to that certain [Agreement and Plan of Merger of PSAV Holdings LLC and PSAV, Inc. adopted                     ], the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of PSAV Holdings LLC, A Delaware Limited Liability Company dated as of January 24, 2014 and that certain Unit Award Agreement dated                      (the “Unit Award Agreement”), the Participant accepts such exchange, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Award. The Company has granted to the Participant, effective as of the Date of Grant, [●] shares of Restricted Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan.

 

2. Vesting of Restricted Stock.

 

  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in Section 3, the shares of Restricted Stock will vest on the [●] anniversary of [●], subject to the Participant’s continued Service through the applicable vesting date.

 

  (b) Notwithstanding Section 2(a), the shares of Restricted Stock shall fully vest upon a Change of Control, subject to continued Service through such Change of Control.


3. Forfeiture. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, any unvested shares of Restricted Stock will be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration upon a termination of the Participant’s Service for any reason or upon the Participant’s breach of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 6, or any other restrictive covenants to which the Participant is subject. If a Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries without Cause, the Participant resigns from the Company or its Subsidiaries for Good Reason, or the Participant’s Service terminates due to death or Disability of the Participant, the number of shares of Restricted Stock that are scheduled to vest on the anniversary of the Date of Grant immediately following the date of the Participant’s termination of Service, shall vest upon such termination date.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the shares of Restricted Stock and any vested shares (and any resulting proceeds) will continue to be subject to Section 13 of the Plan and any lock-up agreement, if applicable, as provided in Section 7(c).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” has the meaning ascribed to such term in an employment or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries governing the Participant’s provision of services to the Company or any Subsidiary, or, if there is no such agreement in effect that defines such term, “Good Reason” shall mean: without the consent of the Participant, (i) a material diminution of the Participant’s duties and responsibilities, which change could significantly reduce Participant’s duties and responsibilities from those in effect as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) willful failure in bad faith to pay base salary or incentive cash compensation to the Participant when due; provided, that no event described in clause (i) or (ii) shall constitute Good Reason unless (A) the Participant has given the Company written notice of the termination, setting forth the conduct of the Company that is alleged to constitute Good Reason, within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of such event, and (B) the Participant has provided the Company at least sixty (60) days following the date on which such notice is provided to cure such conduct and the Company has failed to do so. Failing such cure, a termination of employment by the Participant for Good Reason shall be effective on the day following the expiration of such cure period.

 

4. Issuance of Shares.

 

  (a)

Book-Entry Registration of the Shares; Delivery of Shares. The Company may at its election either: (i) after the Date of Grant, issue a certificate representing the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement and place a legend and stop transfer notice on that certificate, in which case the Company may retain that certificate unless, until and as any shares represented by that certificate have vested and may cancel that certificate if and to the extent that the shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited or otherwise required to be transferred back to the Company; provided that, if the shares of Restricted Stock are to be certificated, the Company may require the Participant to deliver to the Company a duly-executed blank stock power in a form to be provided by the Company; or (ii) not issue any certificate representing the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement and instead document the Participant’s interest in the shares of

 

2


  Restricted Stock by registering the shares of Restricted Stock with the Company’s transfer agent (or another custodian selected by the Company) in book-entry form in the Participant’s name with the applicable restrictions noted in the book entry system, in which case no certificate representing all or any part of the shares of Restricted Stock will be issued unless, until and as any of those shares have vested, and the Company may cancel those book entry shares if and to the extent that the shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited or otherwise required to be transferred back to the Company. In any case, the Company may provide a reasonable delay in the issuance or delivery of vested shares of Common Stock to address withholding taxes and other administrative matters.

 

  (b) Shareholder Rights. The Participant shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Participant under this Agreement, including the right to vote the shares and receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto; provided that, (x) any regular cash dividends paid with respect to an unvested share of Restricted Stock (the “associated share”) will be withheld by the Company and will be paid to the Participant, without interest, within thirty (30) days after the associated share vests and will be forfeited if and when the associated share is forfeited, and (y) any property (other than cash) distributed with respect to an associated share (including without limitation a distribution of shares by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise or a distribution of other securities with respect to an associated share) will be subject to the restrictions of this Agreement in the same manner and for so long as the associated share remains subject to those restrictions and will be forfeited if and when the associated share is forfeited or will vest if and when the associated share vests.

 

  (c) Withholding Requirements. As a condition to the grant and vesting of the Restricted Stock, the Participant will make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with that Restricted Stock. The Participant may elect to satisfy such obligations in cash or, in the Committee’s discretion, by having the Company withhold a number of shares of vested Restricted Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such obligation.

 

5. Adjustment to Restricted Stock. In the event of any change with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock contemplated by Section 4.5 of the Plan, the Restricted Stock may be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Plan.

 

6.
