RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
FOR CLASS B STOCK
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Oil-Dri Corporation of America 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Oil-Dri Corporation of America (the “Company”) hereby grants [grantee name] (hereafter referred to as “You”) a grant of shares of restricted Stock, effective as of [date] (the “Grant Date”). “Stock” means Class B Stock of the Company, par value $.10 per share.
1.Number of Shares. This grant of shares of restricted Stock shall consist of
[number of shares] shares (the “Restricted Shares”) of Stock, of the Company.
2.No Payment for Shares of Restricted Stock. No per share purchase price is required to be paid by You for the Restricted Shares.
3.Vesting. All restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares under this Agreement shall lapse, and such Restricted Shares shall vest, according to the following schedule, unless forfeited pursuant to Section 5 below:
On or after each of the following vesting dates | Cumulative percentage of Restricted Shares vested | |
[date] | [%] | |
[date] | [%] | |
[date] | [%] | |
[date] | [%] | |
[date] | [%] | |
4.Escrow. Until your Restricted Shares have vested pursuant to Section 3 above, such shares shall be held in book entry at the transfer agent of the Company (the “Escrow Agent”). The Escrow Agent will hold the Restricted Shares until directed by the Company to distribute the Restricted Shares (i) to the Company upon receipt of written authorization from the Company indicating that the Restricted Shares have been forfeited in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) to You upon receipt of written authorization from the Company indicating that the restrictions have lapsed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
5.Forfeiture of Unvested Shares. Except as provided below, if, for any reason, your service as an employee terminates at any time before a vesting date, all Restricted Shares that have not yet vested as of the date of such termination shall be forfeited. In such event, You will sign any document and take any other action required to assign the Restricted Shares back to the Company.
(a) | Death or Disability. The terms of Section 12.1 of the Plan regarding death and Disability shall apply to this Award. |
(b) | Termination by the Company of You without Cause or by You for Good Reason. If You are terminated by the Company without Cause, or if You terminate for Good Reason, You will vest in the next tranche of Restricted Shares that are scheduled to vest on the vesting date next following your date of termination, and the remaining Restricted Shares will be forfeited. |
(c) | Retirement. The terms of Section 12.2 of the Plan regarding accelerated vesting upon Retirement shall not apply to this Award. For the avoidance of doubt, any unvested Restricted Shares shall be forfeited upon a termination by You on account of Retirement before you reach age 65. |
(d) | Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 15 of the Plan to the contrary, the Award will not vest immediately upon a Change in Control, but shall only vest if a Change in Control occurs and Your employment is terminated at or after the occurrence of a Change in Control due to your death, Disability, termination of You by the Company without Cause, or termination by You for Good Reason. |
(e) | Definition of Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without Your written consent: (i) any material diminution in Your duties, authorities, responsibilities or reporting relationships (other than due to Your Disability); or (ii) the material reduction of Your base salary or annual bonus target; provided that Good Reason shall exist only if the Company fails to cure such event within thirty (30) days following receipt from You of written notice of the event which constitutes Good Reason (the “Cure Period”); provided further, that Good Reason shall cease to exist for an event on the 60th day following the later of its occurrence or Your knowledge thereof, unless You have given the Company written notice thereof prior to such date; provided further that Good Reason shall cease to exist for an event if You fail to terminate his employment for Good Reason within ninety (90) days after the end of the Cure Period. |
6.Ownership Rights. As a holder of Restricted Shares, You are generally entitled to all voting and ownership rights of a holder of Stock, including the right to receive any dividends, including Stock dividends, which may be paid to holders of Stock, provided, however, that any shares of Stock received by You as a result a Stock dividend or other adjustment in capitalization shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture, certificate delivery provisions and restrictions on transfer as the forfeitable Restricted Shares in respect of which they are issued and shall become Restricted Shares for the purposes of this Agreement, and provided further that any dividend paid with respect to unvested Restricted Shares for which an election under Section 83(b) of the Code has not been made (i) constitutes compensation income subject to all applicable tax withholding and (ii) shall be paid on or about the date that such dividend is paid to holders of the Company’s Stock generally.
7.Stock Certificates. An electronic stock certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares shall be issued as of the Grant Date, shall be registered in your name, shall bear a legend referring to the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares, and shall be held by the transfer agent of the Company in an account established by the transfer agent in your name. You shall, simultaneously with execution of this Agreement, execute and deliver in blank a stock power to facilitate the transfer of the Restricted Shares in the event of a forfeiture of the Restricted Shares. Subject to Section 10 of this Agreement, applicable stock certificates representing Restricted Shares as to which restrictions have lapsed as of any Vesting Date will be delivered to You as soon as practicable after such Vesting Date.
8.No Right to Remain as an Employee. Neither the existence of the Plan nor the grant of this Restricted Stock shall obligate the Company to retain You as an employee.
9.Shares Non-transferable. The Restricted Shares are not transferable until such shares become non-forfeitable.
10.Taxes. The Company is not required to issue certificates for unrestricted shares of Stock upon any Vesting Date unless You (or your estate or personal representative) first pay to the Company such amount, if any, as it may request to satisfy any liability it may have to withhold federal, state, or local income or other taxes relating to the Restricted Shares which vest on such Vesting Date. The Company shall have the right to take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to satisfy any tax withholding obligations.
11.Incorporation of Plan. The Plan is an integral part of, and is incorporated by reference in, this Agreement. Any capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified in the Plan.
12.Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by the Company and You which specifically states that it amends this Agreement.

14.Severability. If any part of this Agreement is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not serve to invalidate any part of the Agreement not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any part so declared unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which gives effect to the terms of such part to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.
15.Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws (excluding the conflict of laws rules) of the State of Delaware.
