Quanta Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby
grants to the individual whose name appears above ("Grantee"), pursuant to the
provisions of the Quanta Services, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (As Amended
and Restated March 13, 2003) as amended from time to time in accordance with its
terms (the "Plan"), a restricted stock award (this "Award") of shares (the
"Awarded Shares") of its common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Common
Stock"), effective as of the Date of Award as set forth above (the "Grant
Date"), upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Restricted Stock Agreement (this "Agreement") and in the Plan, which are
incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement,
capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Plan.
1. EFFECT OF THE PLAN. The Awarded Shares granted to Grantee are subject
to all of the provisions of the Plan and of this Agreement, together with all
rules and determinations from time to time issued by the Committee and by the
Board pursuant to the Plan. The Company hereby reserves the right to amend,
modify, restate, supplement or terminate the Plan without the consent of
Grantee, so long as such amendment, modification, restatement or supplement
shall not materially reduce the rights and benefits available to Grantee
hereunder, and this Award shall be subject, without further action by the
Company or Grantee, to such amendment, modification, restatement or supplement
unless provided otherewith therein.
Non-Employee Director
2. GRANT. This Award shall evidence ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s ownership of the Awarded
Shares, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that he or she will not receive a stock
certificate representing the Awarded Shares unless and until the Awarded Shares
vest as provided in this Award. The Awarded Shares will be held in custody for
Grantee, in a book entry account with the Company's transfer agent, until the
Awarded Shares have vested in accordance with Section 3 of this Award. Upon
vesting of the Awarded Shares, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to
deliver to Grantee all Vested Awarded Shares (as defined below). ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees
that the Awarded Shares shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and the Plan, including, but not limited to, the
forfeiture conditions set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement and the
restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.
3. VESTING SCHEDULE; SERVICE REQUIREMENT. Except as provided otherwise in
Section 4 of this Agreement, the Awarded Shares shall vest if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s
Continuous Service is not interrupted during the period commencing with the
Grant Date and ending with the applicable date that such portion of the Awarded
Shares vests (each, a "Vesting Date"). Awarded Shares that have vested pursuant
to this Agreement are referred to herein as "Vested Awarded Shares" and Awarded
Shares that have not yet vested pursuant to this Agreement are referred to
herein as "Unvested Awarded Shares." Subject to the provisions of Section 4 of
this Agreement, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s Continuous Service is not interrupted prior to an
applicable Vesting Date, thirty-three and one-third (33-1/3%) of the Awarded
Shares will vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date; an additional
thirty-three and one-third (33-1/3%) of the Awarded Shares will vest on the
second anniversary of the Grant Date; and the remaining thirty-three and
one-third (33-1/3%) of the Awarded Shares will vest on the third anniversary of
the Grant Date, all as set forth on the first page of this Agreement under the
heading "Vesting of Awarded Shares." If an installment of the vesting would
result in a fractional Vested Awarded Share, such installment will be rounded to
the next higher or lower Awarded Share, as determined by the Company, except the
final installment, which will be for the balance of the Awarded Shares.
4. CONDITIONS OF FORFEITURE.
(a) Upon any termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s Continuous Service (the
"Termination Date") for any or no reason except as a result of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s
not being nominated for or elected to a new term as a Director, or
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s resignation at the request and for the convenience of the
Company other than for "Cause" (as defined in Section 3(c) of this
Agreement) before all of the Awarded Shares become Vested Awarded Shares,
all Unvested Awarded Shares as of the Termination Date shall, without
further action of any kind by the Company or Grantee, be forfeited.
Unvested Awarded Shares that are forfeited shall be deemed to be
immediately transferred to the Company without any payment by the Company
or action by Grantee, and the Company shall have the full right to cancel
any evidence of Grantee's ownership of such forfeited Unvested Awarded
Shares and to take any other action necessary to demonstrate that Grantee
no longer owns such forfeited Unvested Awarded Shares automatically upon
such forfeiture. Following such forfeiture, Grantee shall have no further
rights with respect to such forfeited Unvested Awarded Shares, Grantee, by
his acceptance of the Award granted pursuant to this Agreement,
irrevocably grants to the Company a power of attorney to transfer Unvested
Awarded Shares that are forfeited to the Company and agrees to execute any
documents requested by the Company in connection with such forfeiture and
transfer. The provisions of this Agreement regarding transfers of Unvested
Awarded Shares that are forfeited shall be specifically performable by the
Company in a court of equity or law.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Unvested Awarded Shares shall become vested (i) on the death of Grantee
during ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s Continuous Service, (ii) on the termination of Grantee's
Continuous Service as a result of not being nominated for or elected to a
new term as a Director, or (iii) on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s resignation as a Director at
the request and for the
Non-Employee Director
convenience of the Company other than for Cause. In addition, the Unvested
Awarded Shares shall become vested earlier than the times otherwise
provided in this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section
11(c) of the Plan relating to a Change in Control event. For purposes of
this Agreement, "Cause" for termination by the Company of Grantee's
Continuous Service shall mean (i) Grantee's willful, material and
irreparable breach of any agreement that governs the terms and conditions
of his or her service to the Company; (ii) Grantee's breach of any
fiduciary or other material duty to the Company or its stockholders; (iii)
Grantee's gross negligence or gross incompetence in the performance or
intentional nonperformance (continuing for ten days after receipt of
written notice of such negligence) of any of Grantee's material duties and
responsibilities; (iv) Grantee's dishonesty, fraud or misconduct with
respect to the business or affairs of the Company or an Affiliate; (v)
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s conviction of a felony crime; or (vi) chronic alcohol abuse or
illegal drug abuse by Grantee.
5. NON-TRANSFERABILITY. Grantee may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange,
hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of any of the Unvested Awarded
Shares, or any right or interest therein, by operation of law or otherwise,
except only with respect to (i) a gratuitous transfer with the prior written
consent of the Company or (ii) a transfer of title effected pursuant to
Grantee's will or the laws of descent and distribution following Grantee's
death. References to Grantee, to the extent relevant in the context, shall
include references to authorized transferees. Any transfer in violation of this
Section 5 shall be void and of no force or effect, and shall result in the
immediate forfeiture of all Unvested Awarded Shares.
6. DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. Subject to the restrictions contained in
this Agreement, Grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to
the Awarded Shares, including the right to vote all such Awarded Shares,
including Unvested Awarded Shares, and to receive all dividends, cash or stock,
paid or delivered thereon, from and after the date hereof. In the event of
forfeiture of Unvested Awarded Shares, Grantee shall have no further rights with
respect to such Unvested Awarded Shares. However, the forfeiture of the Unvested
Awarded Shares pursuant to Section 4 hereof shall not create any obligation to
repay cash dividends received as to such Unvested Awarded Shares, nor shall such
forfeiture invalidate any votes given by Grantee with respect to such Unvested
Awarded Shares prior to forfeiture.
7. CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS AND CORPORATE EVENTS. If, from time to time during
the term of this Agreement, there is any capital adjustment affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Company's receipt of
consideration, the Unvested Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Plan. Any and all new, substituted or
additional securities to which Grantee may be entitled by reason of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s
ownership of the Unvested Awarded Shares hereunder because of a capital
adjustment shall be immediately subject to the forfeiture provisions of this
Agreement and included thereafter as "Unvested Awarded Shares" for purposes of
this Agreement.
8. REFUSAL TO TRANSFER. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer
on its books any Unvested Awarded Shares that have been sold or otherwise
transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan,
or (ii) to treat as owner of such Unvested Awarded Shares, or accord the right
to vote or pay or deliver dividends or other distributions to, any purchaser or
other transferee to whom or which such Unvested Awarded Shares shall have been
so transferred.
9. TAX MATTERS. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that the tax consequences associated
with the award are complex and that the Company has urged Grantee to review with
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s own tax advisors the federal, state, and local tax consequences of
this Award Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements
or representations of the Company or any of its agents. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ understands that
Grantee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s own tax
liability that may arise as a result of the Award. Grantee understands further
that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
taxes as ordinary income the fair market
Non-Employee Director
value of the Awarded Shares as of the Vesting Date. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ also understands
that Grantee may elect to be taxed at Grant Date rather than at the time the
Awarded Shares vest by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with
the Internal Revenue Service and by providing a copy of the election to the
Company. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE OR SHE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE
AVAILABILITY OF MAKING AN ELECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE;
THAT SUCH ELECTION MUST BE FILED WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (AND A COPY
OF THE ELECTION GIVEN TO THE COMPANY) WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE GRANT OF AWARDED
SHARES TO GRANTEE; AND THAT ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SUCH
ELECTION.
10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and this Agreement
constitute the entire agreement of the Company and Grantee (collectively, the"
Parties") with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their
entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof. If there is any inconsistency between the provisions
of this Agreement and of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.
Nothing in the Plan and this Agreement (except as expressly provided therein or
herein) is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any person other than
the Parties. The Plan and this Agreement are to be construed in accordance with
and governed by the internal laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect
to any choice-of-law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Texas to the rights
and duties of the Parties. Should any provision of the Plan or this Agreement
relating to the Shares be determined by a court of law to be illegal or
unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by
law and the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall
remain enforceable.
11. INTERPRETIVE MATTERS. Whenever required by the context, pronouns and
any variation thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or
neuter, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa. The term
"include" or "including" does not denote or imply any limitation. The captions
and headings used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not
be deemed a part of the Restricted Stock Award or this Agrement for construction
or interpretation.
12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The provisions of this Section 12 shall be the
exclusive means of resolving disputes of the Parties (including any other
persons claiming any rights or having any obligations through the Company or
Grantee) arising out of or relating to the Plan and this Agreement. The Parties
shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disputes arising out of or relating
to the Plan and this Agreement by negotiation between individuals who have
authority to settle the controversy. Negotiations shall be commenced by either
Party by a written statement of the Party's position and the name and title of
the individual who will represent the Party. Within thirty (30) days of the
written notification, the Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and
place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to resolve the
dispute. If the dispute has not been resolved by negotiation within ninety (90)
days of the written notification of the dispute, either Party may file suit and
each Party agrees that any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to the Plan or this Agreement shall be brought in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Texas (or should such court lack jurisdiction
to hear such suit, action or proceeding, in a Texas state court in ▇▇▇▇▇▇
County, Texas) and that the Parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such
court. The Parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
any objection a Party may have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action
or proceeding brought in such court. THE PARTIES ALSO EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT
THEY HAVE OR MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. If
any one or more provisions of this Section 12 shall for any reason be held
invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the Parties that such
provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its
application valid and enforceable.

13. NON-SOLICITATION. In consideration for the grant of this Award, the
Grantee hereby agrees that during ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s Continuous Service and for one year
thereafter, the Grantee shall not solicit any person who is an employee of the
Company or any Affiliate for the purpose or with the intent of enticing such
employee away from or out of the employ of the Company or any Affiliate.
14. PAYMENT OF PAR VALUE. In connection with the issuance of the Awarded
Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will pay the aggregate par value
per share of the Awarded Shares on behalf of Grantee and will report the amount
of such payment as income to Grantee for the taxable period of Grantee during
which the Awarded Shares are granted.
15. AMENDMENT; WAIVER. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by
means of a written document or documents signed by the Company and Grantee. Any
provision for the benefit of the Company contained in this Agreement may be
waived, either generally or in any particular instance, by the Board or by the
Committee. A waiver on one occasion shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the
same or any other breach on a future occasion.
16. NOTICE. Any notice of other communication required or permitted
hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed given, effective, and
received upon prepaid delivery in person or by courier or upon the earlier of
delivery or the third business day after deposit in the United States mail if
sent by certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other
Party at its address as shown beneath its signature in this Agreement, or to
such other address as such Party may designate in writing from time to time by
notice to the other Party in accordance with this Section 16.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Award has been executed as of the date first
above written.
