TERMS AND CONDITIONS
TO THE
THERAGENICS CORPORATION 2012 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
 
1.           Restricted Shares Held by the Share Custodian.  The Recipient hereby authorizes and directs the Company to deliver any share certificate issued by the Company to evidence Restricted Shares to the Secretary of the Company or such other officer of the Company as may be designated by the Committee (the “Share Custodian”) to be held by the Share Custodian until the Restricted Shares become Vested Restricted Shares in accordance with the Vesting Schedule.  When the Restricted Shares become Vested Restricted Shares, the Share Custodian shall deliver the Restricted Shares to the Recipient.  In the event that the Recipient forfeits any of the Restricted Shares, and the number of Vested Restricted Shares includes a fraction of a share, the Share Custodian shall not be required to deliver the fractional share, and the Company may pay the Recipient the amount determined by the Company to be the estimated fair market value therefor.  The Recipient hereby irrevocably appoints the Share Custodian and any successor thereto, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Recipient with full power and authority to execute any stock transfer power or other instrument necessary to transfer the Restricted Shares to the Company in accordance with this Award, in the name, place, and stead of the Recipient.  The term of such appointment shall commence on the date of the Restricted Stock Grant and shall continue until the Restricted Shares are delivered to the Recipient as provided above. In the event the number of shares of Common Stock is increased or reduced by a change in the par value, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, merger, reorganization, consolidation, or otherwise, the Recipient agrees that any certificate representing shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company issued as a result of any of the foregoing shall be delivered to the Share Custodian and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Award as if initially granted thereunder.  To effect the provisions of this Section, the Recipient shall complete an irrevocable stock power in favor of the Share Custodian in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
 
2.           Rights of a Shareholder.  During the period that the Share Custodian holds the shares of Common Stock subject to Section 1, the Recipient shall be entitled to all rights applicable to shares of Common Stock not so held, except as otherwise provided in this award, including the right to receive dividends paid on Common Stock notwithstanding that all or some of the Restricted Shares may not be Vested Restricted Shares.
 
3.           Withholding.  The Recipient must deliver to the Company, within ten (10) days after written notification from the Company as to the tax withholding that is due, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirement, if any, upon the earlier of the vesting of the Restricted Shares or the effective date of an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to such Restricted Shares.  The Recipient must pay the withholding tax:
 
(a)           in cash;
 
(b)           by tendering shares of Common Stock which are owned by the Recipient prior to the tax withholding date having a Fair Market Value equal to the withholding obligation (a “Withholding Election”); or
 
(c)           if the Recipient does not make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, by electing (also, a “Withholding Election”) to have the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued reduced by the smallest number of whole shares of Common Stock which, when multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date the amount of tax withholding is determined, is sufficient to pay the amount of tax withholding; or
 
(d)           any combination of the above.
 
The Recipient may make a Withholding Election only if the following conditions are met:
 
(i)           a Withholding Election is made by executing and delivering to the Company a properly completed Notice of Withholding Election in substantially the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto;
 
 
1
 
 
(ii)           the Withholding Election made will be irrevocable.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee may in its sole discretion disapprove and give no effect to any Withholding Election.
 
If the Recipient does not timely satisfy payment of the tax withholding obligation, the Recipient will forfeit the Restricted Shares.
 
4.            Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Shares.  Except for the transfer of any Restricted Shares by bequest or inheritance, the Recipient shall not have the right to make or permit to exist any transfer or hypothecation, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, of all or any part of any right, title or interest in or to any unvested Restricted Shares.  Any such disposition not made in accordance with this Award shall be deemed null and void.  Any permitted transferee under this Section shall be bound by the terms of this Award.
 
5.            Additional Restrictions on Transfer.  Certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares shall have noted conspicuously on the certificate a legend required under applicable securities laws or otherwise determined by the Company to be appropriate, such as:
 
Transfer is restricted
 
The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions which also apply to the transferee as set forth in a restricted stock agreement dated ________________, a copy of which is available from the Company.
 
6.             Change in Capitalization.
 
(a)           The number and kind of Restricted Shares shall be proportionately adjusted for nonreciprocal transactions between the Company and the holders of capital stock of the Company that causes the per share value of the shares of Common Stock to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend (each, an “Equity Restructuring”).
 
(b)           In the event of a merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or other material change in the capital structure of the Company, or a tender offer for shares of Common Stock, or a Change in Control, that in each case is not an “Equity Restructuring,” the Committee shall take such action to make such adjustments with respect to the unvested Restricted Shares or the terms of this Award as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines in good faith is necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, adjusting the number and class of securities subject to the unvested portion of the Award, substituting cash or other securities, or other property to replace the unvested portion of the Award, or removing of restrictions on unvested Restricted Shares.  All determinations and adjustments made by the Committee pursuant to this Section (b) will be final and binding on the Recipient. Any action taken by the Committee need not treat all recipients of awards under the Plan equally.
 
(c)           The existence of the Plan and this Award shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital or business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or any part of its business or assets, or any other corporate act or proceeding.

8.              Successors.  This Award shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the parties.
 
9.             Notice.  Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices and other communications under this Award shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if personally delivered or if sent by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the proposed recipient at the last known address of the recipient.  Any party may designate any other address to which notices shall be sent by giving notice of the address to the other parties in the same manner as provided herein.
 
10.           Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Award shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Award, and this Award shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein.
 
11.           Entire Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Award expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter.
 
12.           No Right to Continued Retention.  Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the award of Restricted Shares hereunder shall be construed as giving Recipient the right to continued employment with the Company or an Affiliate.
 
13.           Headings and Capitalized Terms.  Paragraph headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Award.  Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Award shall be given the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
 
15.           Definitions.  As used in these Terms and Conditions and this Award:

(b)           individuals who as of the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors; or
 
(c)           the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (“Business Combination”) or, if consummation of such Business Combination is subject, at the time of such approval by shareholders, to the consent of any government or governmental agency, the obtaining of such consent (either explicitly or implicitly by consummation); excluding, however, such a Business Combination pursuant to which (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than sixty percent (60%) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation that as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, (ii) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, thirty-five percent (35%) or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or
