THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the      day of                 , 200   , between Christopher & Banks Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                            (“Employee”).

 

1.             Award .

 

(a)           Shares .  Pursuant to the Christopher & Banks Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”),                                        (                    ) shares (the “Restricted Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), shall be issued as hereinafter provided in Employee’s name subject to certain restrictions thereon.

 

(b)           Issuance of Restricted Shares .  The Restricted Shares shall be issued upon acceptance hereof by Employee and upon satisfaction of the conditions of this Agreement.

 

(c)           Plan Incorporated .  Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, and agrees that this award of Restricted Shares shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, including future amendments thereto, if any, pursuant to the terms thereof, which Plan is incorporated herein by reference as a part of this Agreement.  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms contained in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.

 

2.             Restricted Shares .  Employee hereby accepts the Restricted Shares when issued and agrees with respect thereto as follows:

 

(a)           Forfeiture Restrictions .  The Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions (as hereinafter defined), and in the event of termination of Employee’s employment with the Company or employing subsidiary for any reason other than (i) normal retirement on or after age sixty-five, (ii) death or (iii) disability, as determined by the Company or employing subsidiary, or except as otherwise provided in the second to last sentence of subsection (b) of this Section 2, Employee shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all Restricted Shares to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions.  The prohibition against transfer and the obligation to forfeit and surrender Restricted Shares to the Company upon termination of employment are herein referred to as “Forfeiture Restrictions.”  The Forfeiture Restrictions shall be binding upon and enforceable against any transferee of Restricted Shares.
