FIVE STAR QUALITY CARE, INC.

 

RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT

 

This Restricted Share Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of                        ,         , between                                         (the “Recipient”) and Five Star Quality Care, Inc. (the “Company”).

 

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Grant of Shares.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and the terms and conditions of the 2001 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan of Five Star Quality Care, Inc., as amended and as it may be further amended from time to time (the “Plan”), the Company hereby grants to the Recipient, effective as of the date of this Agreement,         shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share.  The shares so granted are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares,” which term shall also include any shares of the Company issued to the Recipient by virtue of his or her ownership of the Shares, by share dividend, share split, recapitalization or otherwise.

 

2.                                      Vesting; Repurchase of Shares.

 

(a)                                 Subject to Sections 2(b) and 2(c) hereof, the Shares shall vest one-fifth of the total number of Shares as of the date hereof and as to a further one-fifth of such total number of Shares on each anniversary of the date hereof for the next four calendar years.  Any Shares not vested as of any date are herein referred to as “Unvested Shares.”

 

(b)                                 Subject to Section 2(c) hereof, in the event the Recipient ceases to render significant services, whether as an employee or otherwise, to (i) the Company, (ii) the entity which is the manager or shared services provider to the Company or an entity controlled by, under common control with or controlling such entity (collectively, the “Manager”), or (iii) an affiliate of the Company (which shall be deemed for such purpose to include any other entity to which the Manager is the manager or shared services provider), the Company shall have the right and option to purchase from the Recipient, for an amount equal to $.01 per share (as adjusted for any share split or combination, share dividend, recapitalization or similar event) all or any portion of the Unvested Shares as of the date the Recipient ceases to render such services.  The Company may exercise such purchase option by delivering or mailing to the Recipient (or his or her estate), at any time after the Recipient has ceased to render such services, a written notice of exercise of such option.  Such notice shall specify the number of Unvested Shares to be purchased.  The price to be paid for the Unvested Shares to be repurchased may be payable, at the option of the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or in cash (by check) or any other reasonable method.

 


 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, immediately upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event (as defined below), all of the Unvested Shares shall vest and any repurchase or other rights of the Company described in Section 2(b) shall lapse in their entirety, and such vesting and lapse of repurchase or other Company rights shall also immediately apply to each other share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company previously granted to the Recipient which then remains subject to comparable restrictions and rights.  For purposes of this Section 2(c), an Acceleration Event shall be deemed to occur immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events: a Change in Control, a Termination Event (as each such term is defined in Exhibit A hereto) or the death of the Recipient.

 

3.                                      Legends.  Share certificates, if any, evidencing the Shares shall prominently bear a legend in substantially the following terms:

 

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED PURSUANT TO AN INCENTIVE PLAN MAINTAINED BY THE CORPORATION.  THESE SHARES MAY BE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND/OR VESTING RESTRICTIONS, AND UNVESTED SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO REPURCHASE RIGHTS CONTAINED IN THE PLAN, THE RELATED GRANT OF SHARES OR AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE INITIAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES.  A COPY OF APPLICABLE RESTRICTIONS AND REPURCHASE RIGHTS WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.”

 

In the event that the Shares are not evidenced by share certificates, the share books and records of the Company shall contain a notation in substantially the following terms:

 

“THE SHARES COVERED BY THIS STATEMENT WERE ISSUED PURSUANT TO AN INCENTIVE PLAN MAINTAINED BY THE CORPORATION.  THESE SHARES MAY BE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND/OR VESTING RESTRICTIONS, AND UNVESTED SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO REPURCHASE RIGHTS CONTAINED IN THE PLAN, THE RELATED GRANT OF SHARES OR AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE INITIAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES.  A COPY OF APPLICABLE RESTRICTIONS AND REPURCHASE RIGHTS WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE HOLDER OF THE SHARES COVERED BY THIS STATEMENT WITHOUT CHARGE UPON REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.”

 

Certificates evidencing Shares and Shares not evidenced by certificates shall also bear or contain, as applicable, legends and notations as may be required by the Plan or the Company’s charter or bylaws, each as in effect from time to time, or as the Company may otherwise determine appropriate.

 


 

Promptly following the request of the Recipient with respect to any Shares (or any other share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company previously granted to the Recipient) which have become vested, the Company shall take, at its sole cost and expense, all such actions as may be required to permit the Recipient to resell such shares including, without limitation, providing to the Company’s transfer agent certificates of officers of the Company, and opinions of counsel and/or filing an appropriate registration statement, and taking all such other actions as may be required to remove the legends set forth above with respect to transfer and vesting restrictions from the certificates evidencing such shares and, if applicable, from the share books and records of the Company.  The Company shall reimburse the Recipient, promptly upon the receipt of a request for payment, for all expenses (including legal expenses) reasonably incurred by the Recipient in connection with the enforcement of the Recipient’s rights under this paragraph.

 

4.                                      Tax Withholding.  To the extent required by law, the Company shall withhold or cause to be withheld income and other taxes incurred by the Recipient by reason of a grant of Shares, and the Recipient agrees that he or she shall upon request of the Company pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding obligations from time to time (including as Shares become vested) as the Company may request.
