In addition to these Standard Terms and Conditions, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into these Standard Terms and Conditions by this reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

 

1.

TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Viant Technology Inc. (the “Company”) has granted to the Participant named in the Grant Notice provided to said Participant herewith (the “Grant Notice”) an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Award” or “RSUs”) specified in the Grant Notice, with each Restricted Stock Unit representing the right to receive one share of Common Stock. The Award is subject to the conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan. For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Grant Notice, any reference to the Company shall include a reference to any Subsidiary.

 

2.

VESTING AND SETTLEMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

(a) The Award shall not be vested as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice and shall be forfeitable unless and until otherwise vested pursuant to the terms of the Grant Notice and these Standard Terms and Conditions. After the Grant Date, subject to termination or acceleration as provided in these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the Award shall become vested as described in the Grant Notice with respect to that number of Restricted Stock Units as set forth in the Grant Notice. Restricted Stock Units that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as “Vested RSUs.” Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder that are not vested and remain subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as “Unvested RSUs.”

(b) As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to the Grant Notice and this Section 2, but in no event later than 30 days after each vesting date, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs that vested on such date.

(c) Upon Participant’s termination of Continuous Service for any reason, any then Unvested RSUs held by the Participant shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service.

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER; DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

(a) Participant shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any RSUs unless and until shares of Common Stock settled for such RSUs shall have been issued by the Company to Participant (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books and records of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Grant Date and until the earlier of (i) the Participant’s receipt of Common Stock upon settlement of the RSUs and (ii) the time when the Participant’s right to receive Common Stock upon settlement of the RSUs is forfeited, the Participant shall be entitled, as a Dividend equivalent, to a number of additional whole RSUs on the date that the Company pays a cash dividend (if any) to holders of Common Stock generally. Such Dividend equivalent shall be determined by dividing (i) the product of (A) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Common Stock on such date and (B) the total number of RSUs (including dividend equivalents paid thereon) previously credited to the Participant as of such date, by (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on such date. Such Dividend equivalents (if any) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the RSUs to which the Dividend equivalents were credited.
