ZIX CORPORATION
FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
(Performance-Based Vesting)
Israel Award Plan
This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) is effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Details section below (“Grant Details”) with respect to the Restricted Stock Units described in the Grant Details which are granted by Zix Corporation, a Texas corporation (the “Company”), to the person (“Grantee”) named in the Grant Details. The Company wishes to recognize Grantee’s contributions to the Company, and to encourage Grantee's sense of proprietorship in the Company, by providing Grantee with Restricted Stock Units as described below.
Pursuant to the Company’s Israel Award Plan of November 5, 2020 (the “Plan”) and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to Grantee, effective on the grant date indicated below (the “Grant Date”), the number of restricted stock units (“Units”) convertible into the same number of shares (“Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Stock”) indicated below:
|
Grantee |
[Name] |
|
I.D Number |
|
|
Target Units |
[_______] (the “Target Units”), which number shall be subject to upward or downward adjustment as described under “Vesting Levels” below. |
|
Designation |
102 Capital Gains Award |
|
Grant Date |
[Insert the desired effective date of the grant] |
|
Vesting Schedule |
The Units are allocated to the calendar year [____] annual performance period (the “Annual Performance Period”). The Units will vest subject to and in accordance with the Company’s achievement of the performance-based vesting condition for the Annual Performance Period set forth below. |
|
Performance based Vesting Conditions |
The vesting of the Units is conditioned on the written certification of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) of the Performance Goal (defined below) that was achieved for the Annual Performance Period. The Units will vest based on the Performance Goal vesting level that is achieved for the Annual Performance Period, which may mean zero Units or other amounts allocated to the Annual Performance Period. |
|
Performance Goal |
The performance goal for the Annual Performance Period, as determined by the Board, is Annual Recurring Revenue attributable to the cloud back-up business acquired from CloudAlly, Ltd., measured as of the end of the Annual Performance Period (the “Performance Goal”). |
|
Vesting Levels |
Achievement of the Performance Goal greater than or equal to $9.3M (the “Minimum Performance Goal”) but less than $10.1M for the Annual Performance Period will result in the vesting of 50% of the Target Units; or Achievement of the Performance Goal greater than or equal to $10.1M but less than $10.9M for the Annual Performance Period will result in the vesting of 100% of the Target Units; or Achievement of the Performance Goal greater than or equal to $10.9M but less than $11.7M for the Annual Performance Period will result in the vesting of 150% of the Target Units; or Achievement of the Performance Goal greater than or equal to $11.7M (the “Maximum Performance Goal”) for the Annual Performance Period will result in the vesting of 200% of the Target Units. For the avoidance of doubt, only one of the four vesting levels described above may be achieved during the Annual Performance Period. |
|
Performance‑Based Forfeitures |
The Units allocated to the Annual Performance Period will automatically terminate and be forfeited if the Company’s Performance Goal in the Annual Performance Period, as determined by the Committee, is less than the Minimum Performance Goal for the Annual Performance Period. Likewise, an appropriate number of Units allocated to the Annual Performance Period will automatically terminate and be forfeited to the extent the Company’s Performance Goal for the Annual Performance Period does not equal or exceed the Maximum Performance Goal. |
|
2) |
Terms |
The number of Units indicated in the Grant Details represents the right to receive an equal number of Shares of Stock on the terms set forth in this Agreement. By accepting the Units, Grantee is deemed to agree to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

3) |
Terms of Plan Govern |
The terms of the Plan govern and control any conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. Although the Units granted under this Agreement have not been granted under the Zix Corporation 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Parent Plan”) (in part because such Units were granted as “inducement awards” in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)), in the event any interpretive question or matter is not answered by this Agreement or the Plan, reference shall be made to the Parent Plan for definitive resolution of such question or matter. This grant of Units and this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy adopted by the Board, as amended from time to time, and any other compensation recoupment policy adopted from time to time by the Board or any committee of the Board.

The Company will credit the Target Units to a bookkeeping account on behalf of Grantee and under the supervision of the Trustee as of the date hereof but no Shares of Stock shall be issued in respect thereof. Shares of Stock underlying vested Units shall be issued in accordance with Section 6 below. Except as otherwise provided in Grantee’s Employment Agreement or any other employment, severance or similar agreement between the Company and Grantee, if any, the Units will vest and become non-forfeitable on the earliest to occur of the following:
|
|
b) |
as to all of the Target Units, upon Grantee’s death or termination of employment with CloudAlly by reason of his or her permanent disability; |
- 3 -
|
|
c) |
as to a pro rata portion of Target Units (based on the number of days between the Grant Date and the effective date of Grantee’s termination of employment compared to the total number of days between the Grant Date and December 31, 2022), upon Grantee’s termination of employment by CloudAlly other than for cause (as defined in Grantee’s Employment Agreement); or |
|
|
d) |
as to all of the Target Units, as provided in Section 22 of the Parent Plan in connection with a change in control of the Company. |
Any time there is an interruption of Grantee’s employment with CloudAlly for any reason, except as othwerwise contemplated above, Grantee will immediately and automatically forfeit all right, title and interest in and to unvested Units, such Units to automatically expire, and Grantee will not be entitled to any consideration for the expired Units.
