This Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Lantheus Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [●] (the “Participant”), effective as of June [●], 2015 (the “Date of Grant”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Lantheus Holdings, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended and/or amended and restated from time to time, the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement, and capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has authorized and approved the grant of an Award to the Participant of Restricted Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Award. The Company has granted to the Participant, effective as of the Date of Grant, [●] shares of Restricted Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustment as forth in the Plan.

 

2. Issuance of Shares.

 

  (a)

Book-Entry Registration of the Shares; Delivery of Shares. The Company may at its election either: (i) after the Date of Grant, issue a certificate representing the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement and place a legend and stop transfer notice on that certificate, in which case the Company may retain that certificate unless, until and as any shares represented by that certificate have vested and may cancel that certificate if and to the extent that the shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited or otherwise required to be transferred back to the Company; provided that, if the shares of Restricted Stock are to be certificated, the Company may require the Participant to deliver to the Company a duly-executed blank stock power in a form to be provided by the Company; or (ii) not issue any certificate representing the shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement and instead document the Participant’s interest in the shares of Restricted Stock by registering the shares of Restricted Stock with the Company’s transfer agent (or another custodian selected by the Company) in book-entry form in the Participant’s name with the applicable restrictions noted in the book entry

  system, in which case no certificate representing all or any part of the shares of Restricted Stock will be issued unless, until and as any of those shares have vested and the Company may cancel those book entry shares if and to the extent that the shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited or otherwise required to be transferred back to the Company. In any case, the Company may provide a reasonable delay in the issuance or delivery of vested shares of Common Stock to address tax withholding and other administrative matters.

 

  (b) Shareholder Rights. The Participant will not have any rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, including voting rights, unless, until and as the shares of Restricted Stock vest; provided that the Participant will be entitled to receive dividends with respect to the vested Restricted Stock and with respect to the unvested Restricted Stock as may be determined by the Committee in accordance with the Plan; and provided further that (x) any regular cash dividends paid with respect to an unvested share of Restricted Stock (the “associated share”) will be withheld by the Company and will be paid to the Participant, without interest, within thirty (30) days after the associated share vests and will be forfeited if and when the associated share is forfeited, and (y) any property (other than cash) distributed with respect to an associated share (including without limitation a distribution of shares by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise or a distribution of other securities with respect to an associated share) will be subject to the restrictions of this Agreement in the same manner and for so long as the associated share remains subject to those restrictions and will be forfeited if and when the associated share is forfeited or will vest if and when the associated share vests.

 

  (c) Withholding Requirements. As a condition to the grant and vesting of the Restricted Stock, the Participant will make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any Federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with that Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise elected by the Participant within ninety (90) days following the Date of Grant, these requirements will be met by having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction.

 

3. Vesting of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the Restricted Stock will vest as follows:

 

  (a) General. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 3(b) and 4, the shares of Restricted Stock will vest in equal annual installments of [25%]1 over a [four]2-year period on each anniversary of the Date of Grant, subject to the Participant’s continued Service through each applicable vesting date.

 

 

1  NTD: Use “one-third” for annual option grants to directors.
2  NTD: Use “three” for annual option grants to directors.

  (b) Change in Control. Subject to the Participant’s continued Service through the date of a Change in Control:

 

  (i) if the consideration paid in connection with that Change in Control for the same class of the Company’s equity securities as the then-outstanding shares of Restricted Stock is all cash, then all shares of Restricted Stock will become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of that Change in Control; or

 

  (ii) if (x) the consideration paid in connection with that Change in Control for the same class of the Company’s equity securities underlying the then outstanding shares of Restricted Stock is all equity securities, or part cash and part equity securities, (y) the the-outstanding shares of Restricted Stock are assumed or substituted by the acquirer in that Change in Control for awards with substantially the same or comparable terms (including with respect to then-current economic value) and (z) the Participant’s Service is terminated (1) without Cause or, (2) to the extent the Participant is party to an employment letter or agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary that defines “Good Reason” (or any similar term), by the Participant for Good Reason, then within twelve (12) months following that Change in Control, all unvested shares of Restricted Stock will become fully vested upon that termination of Service.

 

4. Forfeiture. Any unvested shares of Restricted Stock will be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration upon a termination of the Participant’s Service for any reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the shares of Restricted Stock and any vested shares (and any resulting proceeds) will continue to be subject to Section 13 of the Plan.

 

5. Adjustment to Restricted Stock. In the event of any change with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock contemplated by Section 4.5 of the Plan, the Restricted Stock may be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Plan.

 

6. Miscellaneous Provisions

 

  (a) Securities Laws Requirements. No shares of Common Stock will be issued or transferred pursuant to this Agreement unless and until all then applicable requirements imposed by Federal and state securities and other laws, rules and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, and by any exchanges upon which the shares of Common Stock may be listed, have been fully met. As a condition precedent to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may require the Participant to take any reasonable action to meet those requirements. The Committee may impose such conditions on any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under the requirements of any exchange upon which shares of the same class are then listed and under any blue sky or other securities laws applicable to those shares of Common Stock.
