AWARD SUMMARY
 
Participant:
 
Raymond P. Warrell, Jr.
     
Award Date:
 
August 31, 2009
     
Number of Shares Subject to Award:
 
26,474,679 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”)
     
Vesting Schedule:
 
The Initial Grant will cover four and one-half percent (4.5%) of the fully diluted common stock of the Company as of the grant date, or a total of 26,474,679 shares.
     
   
Sixty percent (60%) of the Initial Grant amount, or 15,884,807 shares (the “Service Grant”), shall vest as follows: 25%, or 3,971,202 shares, on the grant date, with the balance of the 60%, or 11,913,605 shares, vesting in thirteen (13) equal portions on quarterly anniversaries from the grant date, so as to be fully vested on December 31, 2012 provided the Participant continues in employment through each such date.

 
 

 

   
Forty percent (40%) of the Initial Grant, or 10,589,872 shares, shall comprise the “Incentive Grant”.  Half of the Incentive Grant, comprising twenty percent (20%) of the Initial Grant or 5,294,936 shares, shall vest on the date the Company has received notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or from the European Medicines Agency that Genasense has been approved for marketing by FDA or EMEA.  The second half of the Incentive Grant, comprising 20% of the Initial Grant or 5,294,936 shares, shall vest on the date when the market capitalization of the Company first exceeds ten (10) times the market capitalization value as of the Initial Grant date.  The market capitalization value shall be calculated for the grant date and for the vesting date using a standard measure of the Company’s daily closing stock price on a recognized exchange multiplied by the number of shares issued and outstanding on each of those dates.  The market capitalization of Genta Incorporated on the Initial Grant date of August 31, 2009 was $50,869,855.58 determined by multiplying the closing stock price of .38 as reported by Bloomberg.com by the number of Genta shares issued and outstanding of 133,868,041 as determined by The Company.
     
   
The Shares may vest on an accelerated basis prior to these vesting dates in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement.  In no event shall any Shares vest after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment.
     
Issuance Dates:
 
Each Share in which the Participant vests in accordance with the foregoing Vesting Schedule shall be issued on the date (the “Issuance Date”) on which that Share so vests or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in no event later than the close of the calendar year in which such Issuance Date occurs or (if later) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month following such Issuance Date. The issuance of the Shares shall be subject to the Company’s collection of any applicable Withholding Taxes in accordance the procedures set forth in Paragraph 6 of this Agreement.
 
2.            Limited Transferability.  Prior to actual receipt of the Shares which vest and become issuable hereunder, the Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares.  Any Shares which vest hereunder but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of the Participants death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of the Participants will or the laws of inheritance.

 
2

 
 
3.           Cessation of Employment.  Should the Participant cease employment for any reason prior to vesting in one or more Shares subject to this Award, then the Award will be immediately cancelled with respect to those unvested Shares, and the number of restricted stock units will be reduced accordingly. The Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units.
 
4.           Change in Control.
 
(a)           The Participant shall fully vest in the Award (to the extent outstanding) immediately prior to the effective date of a Change in Control.  The Shares subject to those vested units will be issued on the Issuance Date triggered by the Change in Control (or otherwise converted into the right to receive the same consideration per share of Common Stock payable to the other shareholders of the Company in consummation of that Change in Control and distributed at the same time as such shareholder payments), subject to the Company’s collection of any applicable Withholding Taxes pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 6.
 
(b)           This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
 
5.            Adjustment in Shares.  In the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without the Companys receipt of consideration, then proportionate adjustments shall be made to the total number of Shares subject to this Award.
 
6.            Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.
 
(a)           On the Issuance Date or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Company shall issue to or on behalf of the Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the restricted stock units which vest under the Award on such date, subject, however, to the Company’s collection of any applicable Withholding Taxes.
 
(b)           Until such time as the Company provides the Participant with notice to the contrary, the Company shall collect any Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to the issuance of the vested Shares hereunder through an automatic Share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, at the time of such issuance, a portion of the  Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of those taxes  (the “Share Withholding Method”); provided, however, that the amount of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company‘s required withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates.  The Participant shall be notified in writing in the event such Share Withholding Method is no longer available.

 
3

 
 
(c)           Should any Shares be issued at a time when the Share Withholding Method is not available, then the Participant shall pay any Withholding Taxes required to be withheld with respect to the issuance of vested Shares hereunder by delivering a check to the Company in the amount of the Withholding Taxes.
 
(d)           In no event will any fractional shares be issued.
 
(e)           The holder of this Award shall not have any shareholder rights, including voting or dividend rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until the Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance after the satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes.
 
7.            Compliance with Laws and Regulations.
 
(a)           The issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Award shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq Stock Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such issuance.
 
(b)           The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Common Stock hereby shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained.  The Company, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals.
 
8.            Successors and Assigns.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and the Participant, the Participants assigns, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Participants estate and any beneficiaries of the Award designated by the Participant.
 
9.            Notices.  Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate offices.  Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Participant shall be in writing and addressed to the Participant at the address indicated below Participants signature line on this Agreement.  All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.
 
10.          Construction.  This Agreement and the Award evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan.  All decisions of the Committee with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Award.

 
4

(d)           In no event will any fractional shares be issued.
