It is understood and agreed that the Award of Restricted Stock evidenced by the Restricted Stock Agreement to which this is annexed is subject to the following additional terms and conditions:
1. Forfeiture and Transfer Restrictions.
A. Forfeiture Restrictions. Except as provided otherwise in Section 2 of this Annex A, if the Participant's employment is terminated during the Restricted Period, the Shares of Restricted Stock subject to this Award shall be forfeited as of the date of termination.
B. Transfer Restrictions. The Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated during the Restricted Period.
2. Termination of Employment. If the Participant's employment is terminated during the Restricted Period (i) due to the Participant's death or disability or (ii) due to the Participant's Retirement, the Restricted Stock shall vest on the date of such termination of employment with respect to a prorated number of Shares of Restricted Stock determined by multiplying the total number of Shares subject to this Award times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months having elapsed during the Restricted Period as of the date of such termination of employment and the denominator of which is the total number of whole months in the Restricted Period. For purposes of this Section 2, determination of whether a Participant's employment is terminated due to the Participant's Retirement shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee and the Committee's determination shall be final.
Retirement means a Participant's termination from employment with the Company or a Subsidiary at the Participant's Early or Normal Retirement Date, as applicable.
A. Early Retirement Date - shall mean the date on which a Participant terminates employment, if such termination date occurs on or after Participant's attainment of age fifty-five (55) but prior to Participant Normal Retirement Date.
B. Normal Retirement Date - shall mean the date on which the Participant terminates employment, if such termination date occurs on or after the Participant attains age sixty-two (62).
3. Vesting of Restricted Stock. Except as provided otherwise in Section 3.2 of the Plan and Sections 1 or 2 of this Annex A, the Restricted Stock shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement. Any Shares that do not vest shall be forfeited.
4. Voting Rights, Dividends and Custody. The Participant shall be entitled to vote and receive regular cash dividends paid with respect to the Shares subject to this Award during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that in no event shall the Participant vote or receive dividends paid with respect to any forfeited Shares on or after the date of forfeiture. The Shares subject to this Award shall be registered in the name of the Participant and held in the Company's custody during the Restricted Period.
5. Tax Withholding. The Company may make such provisions as are necessary for the withholding of all applicable taxes on the Restricted Stock, in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Plan. With respect to the minimum statutory tax withholding required with respect to the Restricted Stock, the Participant may elect to satisfy such withholding requirement by having the Company withhold Shares from this Award.
6. Ratification of Actions. By accepting this Award or other benefit under the Plan, the Participant and each person claiming under or through him shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated the Participant's acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan or the Award by IDACORP, Inc.

In the event any provision of the Restricted Stock Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Restricted Stock Agreement, and the Restricted Stock Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
