Exhibit A

Vesting of Restricted Shares

1. General. As of the Date of Grant the Restricted Shares are unvested (the “Unvested Restricted Shares”). Of the Unvested Restricted Shares, [__] are Time-Vesting Shares, and shall be eligible to vest in accordance with Section 2 of this Exhibit A and [__] are Performance-Vesting Shares, and shall be eligible to vest in accordance with Section 3 of this Exhibit A.

2. Time-Vesting Shares.

(a) General. Subject to Participant’s Continuous Service on the vesting date, the Time-Vesting Shares will vest in [__] equal installments (rounded to the nearest integer) on the following [__] anniversaries of [ ].

(b) Sale Transaction. All outstanding and unvested Time-Vesting Shares shall immediately vest on a Sale Transaction.

(c) Forfeiture. If Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason, Participant shall forfeit all right, title, and interest in and to any unvested Time-Vesting Shares as of the date of such termination, and such unvested Time-Vesting Shares shall be cancelled without further consideration or any act or action by Participant. In addition, Participant shall forfeit all right, title, and interest in and to any outstanding Time-Vesting Shares that have vested upon the earliest to occur of the following circumstances: (x) immediately upon termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service if such termination is for Cause; (y) following termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service, if the Participant breaches any of his or her post-termination covenants in any agreement between the Participant and the Company (or its Subsidiaries); or (z) if the Participant fails to properly execute any general release required to be executed pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Agreement.

3. Performance-Vesting Shares.

(a) General. Performance- Vesting Shares shall be eligible to vest upon a Sale Transaction, in the applicable amount as set forth below (rounded to the nearest integer):

i. If, in connection with a Sale Transaction, the Sponsor Group achieves an IRR equal to or greater than 17.5%, then 50% of the Performance-Vesting Shares shall vest; and

ii. If, in connection with a Sale Transaction, the Sponsor Group achieves an IRR equal to or greater than 24%, then the other 50% of the Performance-Vesting Shares shall vest (resulting in vesting of 100% of the Performance-Vesting Shares).


(b) Additional Performance Vesting Events.

i. Any outstanding Performance-Vesting Shares shall be eligible to vest as of the end of any fiscal year-end of the Company if (x) the Sponsor Group and RC IV Cayman ICW Holdings LLC and its equityholders collectively own and control less than 50% of the equity and voting interests in the Company as of such fiscal year-end, and (y) during such fiscal year the Sponsor Group has received additional Sponsor Cash Inflows. In such event, at such fiscal year-end the IRR shall be recalculated reflecting the applicable dates of receipt of such additional Sponsor Cash Inflows to determine whether any additional Performance-Vesting Shares (that have not otherwise previously been forfeited pursuant to this Agreement) shall vest.

ii. In addition, commencing as of the Company’s 2023 fiscal year-end, any outstanding Performance-Vesting Shares shall be eligible to vest in accordance with the following (without regard to whether the foregoing clause (b)(i) applies) (rounded to the nearest integer):

A. At the end of the Company’s 2023 fiscal year-end, the IRR will be calculated taking into account (i) the prior Sponsor Cash Inflows (and the applicable dates thereof) and (ii) the proceeds Sponsor Group would have received if it had sold all of its remaining shares of Company common stock at the VWAP of the last 90 trading days of the fiscal year:

 

   

1/3 of 50% (i.e., 16.667%) of the Performance-Vesting Shares will be vested if the 17.5% IRR threshold would have been achieved in such deemed sale (if not previously achieved in any earlier IRR measurement); and

 

   

1/3 of 100% (i.e., 33.333%) of the Performance-Vesting Shares will be vested if the 24% IRR threshold would have been achieved in such deemed sale.

B. At the end of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year-end, the same process described in the immediately preceding clause (A) will be applied (based on the VWAP of the last 90 trading days of the fiscal year):

 

   

2/3 of 50% (i.e., 33.333%) of the Performance-Vesting Shares will be vested if the 17.5% IRR threshold would have been achieved in such deemed sale; and

 

   

2/3 of 100% (i.e., 66.667%) of the Performance-Vesting Shares will be vested if the 24% IRR threshold would have been achieved in such deemed sale.


For the avoidance of doubt, if the 17.5% IRR threshold had been previously achieved as of the Company’s 2023 fiscal year-end, an incremental portion (for not more than a cumulative total of 33.333%) will be vested; and if the 24% IRR threshold had been previously achieved as of the Company’s 2023 fiscal year-end, an incremental portion (for a cumulative total of 66.667%) will be vested.

C. At the end of the Company’s 2025 fiscal year-end (and each subsequent fiscal year), the same process will be applied (based on the VWAP of the last 90 trading days of the applicable fiscal year):

 

   

50% of the Performance-Vesting Shares will be vested if the 17.5% IRR threshold would have been achieved in such deemed sale; and

 

   

100% of the Performance-Vesting Shares will be vested if the 24% IRR threshold would have been achieved in such deemed sale.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the 17.5% IRR threshold had been previously achieved, an incremental portion (for a cumulative total of 50%) will be vested; and if the 24.0% IRR threshold had been previously achieved, the remainder (i.e., 100%) will be vested. No more than a total of 50% of the Performance-Vesting Shares may cumulatively vest unless the 24% IRR threshold has been achieved (or would have been achieved in the foregoing deemed sales).

(c) Additional Post-Termination Vesting Events.

i. Participant will also vest in any Performance-Vesting Shares if the vesting requirements in this Section 3 are met and Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or Participant resigns with Good Reason (if applicable) within the six month period prior to the date of consummation of a Sale Transaction.

ii. Unvested Performance-Vesting Shares will vest on a pro rata basis in connection with a Sale Transaction if Participant dies or become disabled prior to the date of the Sale Transaction, so long as the vesting requirements specified above are met in connection with the Sale Transaction. Such pro rata vesting will be based on the length of the time period between the Date of Grant and Participant’s death or disability over the length of the time period between the Date of Grant and the date of the Sale Transaction.


(d) Forfeiture.

i. If Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason, Participant shall forfeit all right, title, and interest in and to any outstanding unvested Performance-Vesting Shares as of the date of such termination, and such forfeited Performance-Vesting Shares shall be cancelled without consideration or any act or action by Participant or the Company (except as provided below); provided, that any Performance-Vesting Shares that could potentially vest under Section 3(b)(i) of this Exhibit A (due to additional Sponsor Cash Inflows that occurred prior to the date of termination of such Participant’s Continuous Service) shall not be forfeited on such date of termination, and shall remain outstanding through the end of the fiscal year in which such date of termination occurs, and either vest if the conditions of Section 3(b)(i) of this Exhibit A are satisfied or shall be thereafter forfeited if such conditions are not satisfied.

ii. Upon a Sale Transaction that results in the Sponsor Group no longer holding any Common Stock, Participant shall forfeit all right, title, and interest in and to any Performance-Vesting Shares for which the performance criteria are not met in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 of this Exhibit A, and such unvested Performance-Vesting Shares shall be cancelled without further consideration or any act or action by Participant. If immediately following any Sale Transaction the Sponsor Group continued to hold any Common Stock, the then-outstanding unvested Performance-Vesting Shares shall remain outstanding and continue to be subject to the vesting and other terms contained in this Agreement.

iii. In addition, Participant shall forfeit all right, title, and interest in and to any outstanding Performance-Vesting Shares that have vested upon the earliest to occur of the following circumstances: (x) immediately upon termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service if such termination is for Cause; (y) following termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service, if the Participant breaches any of his or her post-termination covenants in any agreement between the Participant and the Company (or its Subsidiaries); or (z) if the Participant fails to properly execute any general release required to be executed pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Agreement.
