RECITALS
A. The Company and Grantee entered into an Employment Agreement,
dated November 30, 2007 (the " Employment Agreement "),
which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Grantee's
employment with the Company. Among the Company's obligations under
the Employment Agreement is to issue the Grantee a restricted stock
grant for shares of the common stock of the Company that will be
equivalent to the number of shares of common stock of the Company
that is equal to $2.0 million divided by the closing price per
share of the common stock of the Company on the effective date of
the Employment Agreement (the " Stock Grant ").
B. The NutriSystem, Inc. 2000 Equity Incentive Plan for
Employees (the " Plan ") provides for the grant of stock
awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.
C. To satisfy the Company's obligations with respect to the
Stock Grant, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of the Company (the " Committee ") has decided to issue the
Stock Grant under the Plan. The Grantee may receive a copy of the
Plan by contacting the Corporate Controller.
D. The Grantee has accepted this stock award as satisfaction of
the Company's obligations with respect to the Stock Grant.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be
legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
- Stock Award Grant . Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Committee hereby
grants the Grantee 79,523 shares of common stock of the Company,
subject to the restrictions set forth below and in the Plan ("
Restricted Stock ") and acknowledges payment by the Grantee
of $79.52 ($0.001 per share) for the Restricted Stock. Shares of
Restricted Stock may not be transferred by the Grantee or subjected
to any security interest until the shares have become vested
pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan.
- Vesting and Nonassignability of Restricted Stock .
-
- Except as provided in Paragraphs 2(b), 2(c) and 2(c), the
shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested, and the
restrictions described in Paragraphs 2(d) and 2(e) shall lapse,
according to the following vesting schedule, if the Grantee
continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company (the " Employer ") from the
Date of Grant until the applicable vesting date:
-
(i) 80% of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock shall
become vested as follows: 20% on each of the first, second, third
and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant (the " Annual
Vesting Shares ").
(ii) the remaining 20% of the shares subject to the Restricted
Stock shall become vested on April 1, 2009 (the " April 2009
Vesting Shares ").
The vesting of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock shall
be cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the shares subject to
the Restricted Stock. If the foregoing schedule would produce
fractional shares, the number of shares that vest shall be rounded
down to the nearest whole share. The Restricted Stock shall become
fully vested on the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant if the
Grantee is employed by, or providing service to, the Employer on
such date.
- If the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or providing service
to, the Employer on account of a termination by the Employer for
any reason other than (i) "cause" (as defined in the Employment
Agreement), (ii) the Grantee becoming "totally disabled" (as
defined in the Employment Agreement), or (iii) death of the
Grantee, then the Annual Vesting Shares that would have vested
within the 12 month period following such termination of employment
if the vesting schedule under Paragraph 2(a)(i) were based on a
monthly vesting schedule, as opposed to the annual vesting
schedule, over the four year period from the Date of Grant shall
become vested on the date of such termination of employment.
- If the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or providing service
to, the Employer on account of (i) a termination because the
Grantee becomes "totally disabled" (as defined in the Employment
Agreement), or (ii) death of the Grantee, then the Annual Vesting
Shares that would have vested within the six (6) month period
following such termination of employment if the vesting schedule
under Paragraph 2(a)(i) were based on a monthly vesting schedule,
as opposed to the annual vesting schedule, over the four year
period from the Date of Grant shall become vested on the date of
such termination of employment.
- If a "Change of Control" (as defined in the Employment
Agreement) occurs while the Grantee is employed by, or providing
service to, the Employer, the Annual Vesting Shares and the April
2009 Vesting Shares shall become fully vested on the date of the
Change of Control.
- Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 2, if the
Grantee's employment or service with the Employer terminates for
any reason before the Restricted Stock is fully vested, the shares
of Restricted Stock that are not then vested shall be forfeited and
must be immediately returned to the Company, and the Company shall
pay to the Grantee, as consideration for the return of the
non-vested shares, t
