RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT NON-PLAN
Exhibit 4.1
NON-PLAN
This Restricted Stock Agreement (this “Agreement”), entered into as of June 29, 2011, sets forth the terms and conditions of an award (this “Award”) of restricted stock granted by Options Media Group Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Recipient”).
1. Introduction. This Award is not granted under any of the Company’s equity incentive plans.
2. Award. The Recipient has been granted 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock (“Restricted Stock”). All certificates issued shall contain an appropriate restrictive legend.
3. Vesting/Forfeiture.
(a) The shares of Restricted Stock are fully vested.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, at the option of the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Company, all shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement, shall be immediately forfeited in the event that any of the following events occur:
(1) The Recipient purchases or sells securities of the Company in violation of the Company’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ guidelines then in effect, if any;
(2) The Recipient breaches any duty of confidentiality including that required by the Company’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ guidelines then in effect, if any; or
(3) The Recipient recruits Company personnel for another entity or business within 24 months following termination of employment.
4. Profits on the Sale of Certain Shares; Cancellation. If any of the events specified in Section 3(b) of this Agreement occur within one year from the date the Recipient last performed services as an employee of the Company (the “Termination Date”) (or such longer period required by any written agreement), all profits earned from the Recipient’s sale of the Company’s securities during the two-year period commencing one year prior to the Termination Date shall be forfeited and forthwith paid by the Recipient to the Company. Further, in such event, the Company may at its option cancel the shares of Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement. The Company’s rights under this Section do not lapse one year from the Termination Date but are a contract right subject to any appropriate statutory limitation period.
5. Transfer. No transfer of the Restricted Stock by the Recipient by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the letters testamentary or such other evidence as the Board of Directors may deem necessary to establish the authority of the state and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock.

The Recipient may satisfy the Tax Obligations, in whole or in part, by (i) making a cash payment directly to the Company, or (ii) if the Tax Obligations arise from the vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock and not from a Section 83(b) election, electing to have the Company’s exclusive broker sell the requisite number of vested shares to satisfy the Tax Obligations. If the Recipient does not make full payment to the Company to timely satisfy the Tax Obligations, the Company shall have the right to withhold from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Recipient from the Company any amounts necessary to satisfy the Tax Obligations.
