DIRECTORS’ STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

Restricted Stock Award Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice” ) and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement ( “Award Agreement” ), Chordiant Software, Inc. (the “Company” ) has awarded you, pursuant to its 1999 Amended and Restated Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Plan” ), the Award as indicated in the Grant Notice.  Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Grant Notice, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

 

The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows.

 

1.   Entitlement to Shares.

 

(a)   Award .  The Award shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice.  By signing the Grant Notice, you hereby agree to acquire from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue to you, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in your Grant Notice for the consideration set forth in Section 1(c) below, and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.  You may not acquire less than the aggregate number of shares specified in the Grant Notice.

 

(b)   Closing .  You will acquire the shares by delivering your Grant Notice, executed by you in the manner required by the Company, to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, on the date that you have executed the Grant Notice (or at such other time and place as you and the Company may mutually agree upon in writing) (such date, not later than thirty (30) days following the Grant Date, the “ Closing Date ”) along with any consideration, other than your services, if any, required to be delivered by you by law on the Closing Date and such additional documents as the Company may then require.  The Company will direct the transfer agent for the Company to deliver to Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 8 below) pursuant to the terms of Section 8 below, the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock being acquired by you.  You acknowledge and agree that any such shares may be held in book entry form directly registered with the transfer agent or in such other form as the Company may determine.

 

(c)   Consideration .  Unless otherwise required by law, the shares of Common Stock to be delivered to you on the Closing Date shall be deemed paid, in whole or in part in exchange for the services rendered or to be rendered by you to the Company or an Affiliate in the amounts and to the extent required by law.  In the event additional consideration is required by law so that the Common Stock acquired under this Award Agreement is deemed fully paid and nonassessable, the Board shall determine the amount and character of such additional consideration to be paid.

 

 

(d)   Vesting .  The Award shall be subject to vesting in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the Grant Notice, as modified by this Section 1(d).  Shares acquired by you that have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Award Documents are “ Vested Shares .”  Shares acquired by you pursuant to this Award Agreement that are not Vested Shares are “ Unvested Shares .”

 

(i)   Termination of Continuous Service; Reacquisition Right .   The Company shall simultaneously with the termination of your Continuous Service automatically reacquire (the “ Reacquisition Right ”) for no consideration all of the Unvested Shares, unless the   Company agrees to waive its Reacquisition Right as to some or all of the Unvested Shares.  Any such waiver shall be exercised by the Company by written notice to you or your representative (with a copy to Escrow Agent, as defined below) within ninety (90) days after the termination of your Continuous Service, and Escrow Agent may then release to you the number of Unvested Shares not being reacquired by the Company.  If the Company does not waive its Reacquisition Right as to all of the Unvested Shares, then upon such termination of your Continuous Service, Escrow Agent shall transfer to the Company the number of Unvested Shares the Company is reacquiring.  The Reacquisition Right shall expire when all of the shares have become Vested Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not exercise its Reacquisition Right for such period of time following your acquisition of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Award as necessary to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes, as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

(ii)   Accelerated Vesting on Change in Control .   In the event of a: (1) a dissolution, liquidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (2) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation; (3) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise; or (4) the acquisition by any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, or any comparable successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Company representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, in each case other than a merger or consolidation for the purpose of a change in domicile, and provided you remain in Continuous Service with the Company as of immediately prior to such transaction, then the vesting of this Award will be automatically accelerated in full as of immediately prior to such transaction.

 

(iii)   Assumption of Award .  As provided in Section 12(B) of the Plan, in the event of a transaction described in Section 12(B) of the Plan, the Reacquisition Right may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company (or such successor’s parent corporation), if any, in connection with such transaction.  To the extent the Reacquisition Right remains in effect following such transaction, it shall apply to the new capital stock or other property received in exchange for the Common Stock in consummation of such transaction.

 

2.   Holding Period.   You agree that you will not sell or otherwise transfer (excluding transfers to certain family trusts as provided in Section 7 below) any of the shares of Common Stock issued under the Award until the earlier of (1) the second anniversary of the vesting date of the Award, (2) the closing of a transaction described in Section 1(d)(ii) above, (3) the certification by the Board that you have suffered an Unforeseeable Emergency or (4) the termination of your Continuous Service as a result of death or Disability (such period, the “ Holding Period ”).  Shares sold or withheld by the Company to cover applicable tax withholdings will not be deemed a violation of the Holding Period.  The shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends as determined by the Company and subject to escrow (as provided in Section 8 below) in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 2, and you will enter into such other arrangements as determined reasonably necessary by the Company in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 2.

 

3.   Withholding Obligations. You hereby agree to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the applicable federal, state, local and foreign employment, social insurance, payroll, income and other tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate (the “ Tax Obligations ”) that arise in connection with this Award.  The satisfaction of the Tax Obligations will occur at the time of vesting of shares of Common Stock or other property pursuant to this Award, or at any time prior to such time or thereafter as reasonably requested by the Company and/or any Affiliate in accordance with applicable law.  You hereby authorize the Company, at its sole discretion and subject to any limitations under applicable law, to satisfy any such Tax Obligations by (a) withholding from wages and other cash compensation payable to you, (b) causing you to tender a cash payment to the Company, (c) permitting you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “ FINRA Dealer ”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be delivered under the Award to satisfy the applicable Tax Obligations and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Tax Obligations directly to the Company and/or its Affiliates, and (d) withholding shares that are otherwise issued and delivered to you under this Award in satisfaction of the Tax Obligations ( provided, however , that the amount of the shares so withheld will not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the required Tax Obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates that are applicable to this kind of income).   In the event the Tax Obligations arise prior to the delivery to you of the shares or it is determined after the delivery of shares or other property that the amount of the Tax Obligations was greater than the amount withheld by the Company and/or any Affiliate, you will indemnify and hold the Company and its Affiliates harmless from any failure by the Company and/or any Affiliate to withhold the proper amount.  The Company may refuse to deliver the shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations.  In the event the Company’s obligation to withhold arises prior to the delivery to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to you that the amount of the Company’s withholding obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.

 

4.   Rights as Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of this Award Agreement, you shall have the right to exercise all rights and privilege
