NAPSTER, INC.

2001 STOCK PLAN

DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

 

THIS DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is dated as of [____________ , 200_ ] (the “ Award Date ”) by and between Napster, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Corporation ”), and [ ______________ ] (the “ Director ”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS , pursuant to the Napster, Inc. 2001 Stock Plan, as amended (the “ Plan ”), the Corporation hereby grants to the Director, effective as of the date hereof, a restricted stock award (the “ Award ”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

 

NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Director, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.    Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Plan.

 

2.    Grant . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Director an Award with respect to an aggregate of [________] restricted shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (the “ Restricted Stock ”).

 

3.    Vesting . Subject to Section 8 below, the Award shall vest, and restrictions (other than those set forth in Section 16 of the Plan) shall lapse, with respect to 6.25% of the total number of shares of Restricted Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 13 of the Plan) on each three-month anniversary of the Award Date. If the Award Date is the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month and a three-month anniversary of such date is scheduled to occur in a month that does not contain 29, 30 or 31 days, as applicable, the applicable installment of the Restricted Stock shall instead be deemed to vest on the last day of the relevant month. The Board reserves the right to accelerate the vesting of the Restricted Stock in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and any such acceleration shall be effective only when set forth in a written instrument executed by an officer of the Corporation.

 

4.    Continuance of Services . The vesting schedule requires continued service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Partial service, even if substantial, during any vesting period will not entitle the Director to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of services as provided in Section 8 below or under the Plan. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes a continued service commitment by the Corporation, confers upon the Director any right to remain in service to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries at any time to terminate such services, or affects the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to increase or decrease the Director’s other compensation or benefits. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Director without his or her consent thereto.

5.    Dividend and Voting Rights . After the Award Date, the Director shall be entitled to cash dividends and voting rights with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock subject to the Award even though such shares are not vested, provided that such rights shall terminate immediately as to any shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited pursuant to Section 8 below.

 

6.    Restrictions on Transfer . Prior to the time that they have become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof or Section 20(g)(iii) of the Plan, neither the Restricted Stock, nor any interest therein, amount payable in respect thereof, or Restricted Property (as defined in Section 9 hereof) may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to transfers to the Corporation.

 

7.    Stock Certificates .

The Corporation shall issue the shares of Restricted Stock subject to the Award either: (a) in certificate form as provided in Section 7(b) below; or (b) in book entry form, registered in the name of the Director with notations regarding the applicable restrictions on transfer imposed under this Agreement.

 

(b)    Certificates to be Held by Corporation; Legend . Any certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock that may be delivered to the Director by the Corporation prior to vesting shall be redelivered to the Corporation to be held by the Corporation until the restrictions on such shares shall have lapsed and the shares shall thereby have become vested or the shares represented thereby have been forfeited hereunder. Such certificates shall bear the following legend and any other legends the Corporation may determine to be necessary or advisable to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations:

 

“The ownership of this certificate and the shares of stock evidenced hereby and any interest therein are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer under an Agreement entered into between the registered owner and Napster, Inc. A copy of such Agreement is on file in the office of the Secretary of Napster, Inc.”

 

(c)    Delivery of Certificates Upon Vesting . Promptly after the vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 3 hereof or Section 20(g)(iii) of the Plan, the Corporation shall, as applicable, either remove the notations on any shares of Restricted Stock issued in book entry form which have vested or deliver to the Director a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of shares of Restricted Stock which have vested (or, in either case, such lesser number of shares as may be permitted pursuant to Section 10 hereof. The Director (or the beneficiary or personal representative of the Director in the event of the Director’s death or disability, as the case may be) shall deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances as the Corporation or its counsel may determine to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations with respect to the grant of the Award and the delivery of shares of Common Stock in respect thereof. The shares so delivered shall no longer be restricted shares hereunder.
