This
RESTRICTED
STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”),
dated
as of the date specified in the Notice of Grant (which is expressly incorporated
herein and made a part hereof, the “Notice
of Grant”),
is
made by and between CHINA SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”),
and
the person in the Notice of Grant (the “Grantee,”
which
term as used herein shall be deemed to include any successor to the Grantee
by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution, unless the context shall
otherwise require).
BACKGROUND
Pursuant
to the Corporation’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
the
Corporation approved the issuance to the Grantee, effective as of the date
set
forth above, of an award of the number of shares of Restricted Stock as is
set
forth in the attached Notice of Grant.
NOW,
THEREFORE,
in
consideration of the mutual premises and undertakings hereinafter set forth,
the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant
of Restricted Stock.
The
Corporation hereby grants to Grantee, and Grantee hereby accepts the number
of
shares of Restricted Stock set forth in the Notice of Grant.
2. Stockholder
Rights.
Until
such time as all or any part of the Restricted Stock is forfeited to the
Corporation under this Agreement, if ever, Grantee (or any successor in
interest) shall have the rights of a stockholder (including voting rights)
with
respect to the Restricted Stock that has been issued, including the Restricted
Stock that has been issued, but not yet vested, subject, however, to the
transfer restrictions of Section 3.
3. Vesting
of Restricted Stock.
(a) The
shares of Restricted Stock shall be restricted and subject to forfeiture
pursuant to Section 4 until vested pursuant to this Section 3 or Section 6(b).
The shares of Restricted Stock shall vest, and no longer be subject to
forfeiture, (such shares of Restricted Stock becoming “Vested
Shares”)
in
accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant. All
shares of Restricted Stock which have not become Vested Shares are hereinafter
sometimes referred to as “Nonvested
Shares.”
(b) The
Grantee acknowledges that the vesting of the foregoing shares of Restricted
Stock may create significant income tax liability to the Grantee.
(c) Nonvested
Shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise disposed
of, directly or indirectly.
4. Forfeiture
of Shares.
(a) At
such
time as Grantee ceases to be an Employee of, or a Service Provider to, the
Corporation for any reason, including death or Disability, then, in such event,
any Nonvested Shares shall be automatically forfeited to the Corporation unless
the Corporation otherwise notifies the Grantee. Upon notice from the Corporation
of such forfeiture, the Grantee shall immediately return to the Corporation
any
stock certificate that evidences Nonvested Shares and shall execute any and
all
such documents and instruments to allow the Corporation to reacquire the
forfeited shares.
(b) Notwithstanding
Section 3, if the board of directors of the Corporation reasonably determines
that the Grantee has materially breached any employment or other agreements
between the Corporation and the Grantee (including, but not limited to, a breach
of a non-competition provision or a confidentiality provision), the Grantee
shall immediately return to the Corporation any stock certificates then held
by
the Grantee that evidences Vested Shares and shall execute any and all such
documents and instruments as requested by the Corporation to allow the
Corporation to reacquire the Vested Shares without payment therefor. If the
Grantee has already disposed of any such Vested Shares, then the Grantee shall
immediately pay to the Corporation an amount equal to the value of such Vested
Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Vested Shares by the
closing price of the Corporation’s common stock as quoted on any market where
the Corporation’s common stock trades as of the date when such Vested Shares
were granted hereunder.
5. Legend.
All
stock certificates evidencing the Nonvested Shares shall be imprinted with
a
legend substantially as follows:
“THE
SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS
AGAINST TRANSFER AND FORFEITURE, AS SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT
AGREEMENT DATED [●].
TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES MAY BE MADE ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS
OF
SAID AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE
CORPORATION.”
6. Recapitalizations,
Exchanges, Mergers, Etc.
(a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein
with respect to any and all shares of capital stock of the Corporation or
successor of the Corporation which may be issued in respect of, in exchange
for,
or in substitution for the Restricted Stock by reason of any stock dividend,
split, reverse split, combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation or otherwise which does not terminate this Agreement. Except
as
otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any
other person except the parties hereto any rights or remedies
hereunder.
(b) In
the
event that the Corporation effects a Change of Control, the Administrator may
take any one or more of the actions specified in the Plan.

7. No
Employment Contract Created.
The
issuance of the shares of Restricted Stock shall not be construed as granting
to
Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment or any other
business relationship by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. The right
of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate at will Grantee's
employment or terminate a business relationship with the Grantee at any time
(whether by dismissal, discharge or otherwise), with or without cause, is
specifically reserved, subject to any other written employment or other
agreement to which the Corporation and Grantee may be a party.
8. Tax.
The
Corporation shall be entitled to withhold from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s compensation any
amounts necessary to satisfy applicable tax withholding with respect to the

shares of Restricted Stock are being issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan,
and shall in all respects be interpreted in accordance therewith. The
Administrator shall interpret and construe this Agreement and the Plan, and
any
action, decision, interpretation or determination made in good faith by the
Administrator shall be final and binding on the Corporation and Grantee.
