TERMS
AND CONDITIONS TO THE
PURSUANT
TO THE THERAGENICS CORPORATION
2000
STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
1. Adjustment
to Number of Performance Restricted Stock Rights for Dividends.
If the
Company declares a dividend (other than a stock dividend) payable to
shareholders of Common Stock and if the dividend is payable to shareholders
of
record before a share certificate for Common Stock has been issued hereunder,
the number of Performance Restricted Stock Rights shall be increased by a
number
equal to the amount of the dividend per share, multiplied by the number of
Performance Restricted Stock Rights (before adjustment), divided by the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the dividend declaration
date.
2. Tax
Withholding.
(a) The
Recipient must deliver to the Company, within ten (10) days after written
notification from the Company as to the amount of the tax withholding that
is
due, either (i) cash, or (ii) a certified check payable to the Company, in
the
amount of all tax withholding obligations imposed on the Company by reason
of
the earning of the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, except as provided
in Section 2(b), or (iii) by tendering a number of whole shares of Common
Stock
which, when multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
date
the Common Stock is issuable to the Recipient, is sufficient to satisfy the
minimum amount of the required tax withholding obligations imposed on the
Company (the “Stock Tendering Election”); provided, however, the Committee may
in its sole discretion, disapprove and give no effect to the Stock Tendering
Election by giving written notice to the Recipient within ten (10) days after
receipt of the Stock Tendering Election, in which event the Recipient must
deliver, within ten (10) days after receiving such notice, the tax withholding
in the manner provided in clause (i) or (ii). If the Recipient does not timely
satisfy payment of the tax withholding obligation, the Recipient will forfeit
the Performance Restricted Stock Rights and shares of Common Stock issuable
hereunder.
(b In
lieu
of paying the tax withholding obligation as described in Section 2(a), Recipient
may elect to have the actual number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder
reduced by the number of whole shares of Common Stock which, when multiplied
by
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Common Stock is
issuable to the Recipient, is sufficient to satisfy the minimum amount of
the
required tax obligations imposed on the Company by reason of the earning
of the
shares (the “Withholding Election”). Recipient may make a Withholding Election
only if all of the following conditions are met:
(i) the
Withholding Election must be made within ten (10) days after the Recipient
receives written notification from the Company as to the amount of the tax
withholding that is due (the “Tax Notice Date”), by executing and delivering to
the Company a properly completed Notice of Withholding Election, in
substantially the form of Exhibit
2
attached
hereto; and
2
(ii) any
Withholding Election made will be irrevocable; however, the Committee may,
in
its sole discretion, disapprove and give no effect to any Withholding Election,
by giving written notice to the Recipient no later than ten (10) days after
the
Company’s receipt of the Notice of Withholding Election, in which event the
Recipient must deliver to the Company, within ten (10) days after receiving
such
notice, the amount of the tax withholding pursuant to Section 2(a).
3. Restrictions
on Transfer of Performance Restricted Stock Rights.
Except
for the transfer by bequest
or
inheritance, the Recipient shall not have the right to make or permit to
exist
any transfer or hypothecation, whether outright or as security, with or without
consideration, voluntary or involuntary, of all or any part of any right,
title
or interest in or to any Performance Restricted Stock Rights. Any such
disposition not made in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed null
and
void. Any permitted transferee under this Section shall be bound by the terms
of
this Agreement.
4. Change
in Capitalization.
(a) The
number and kind of Performance Restricted Stock Rights and the shares of
Common
Stock issuable pursuant thereto shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting
from a subdivision or combination of shares or the payment of a stock dividend
in shares of Common Stock to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock
or if
any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding is effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.
No
fractional shares shall be issued in making such adjustment.
(b) In
the
event of a merger, consolidation, extraordinary dividend, spin-off, sale
of
substantially all of the Company’s assets or other material change in the
capital structure of the Company, or a tender offer for shares of Common
Stock,
or other reorganization of the Company, the Committee shall take such action
to
make such adjustments with respect to the Performance Restricted Stock Rights
as
it, in its sole discretion, determines in good faith is necessary or
appropriate, including, without limitation, adjusting the number and class
of
securities subject to the Agreement, substituting cash, other securities,
or
other property to replace the Performance Restricted Stock Rights, or removing
of restrictions on the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Performance
Restricted Stock Rights.
(c) All
determinations and adjustments made by the Committee pursuant to this Section
will be final and binding on the Recipient. Any action taken by the Committee
need not treat all recipients of awards under the Plan equally.
(d) The
existence of the Plan and the Performance Restricted Stock Rights Grant shall
not affect the right or power of the Company to make or authorize any
adjustment, reclassification, reorganization or other change in its capital
or
business structure, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue
of
debt or equity securities having preferences or priorities as to the Common
Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
any
sale or transfer of all or part of its business or assets, or any other
corporate act or proceeding.

5. Governing
Laws.
This
Agreement shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the
laws of

in
this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise
affect
any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed

never
been contained herein.

thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunction
in
addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and
all
such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
11. No
Right to Continued Retention.

the establishment of the Plan nor the award of Performance Restricted Stock
Rights hereunder shall be construed as giving Recipient the right to continued
service with the Company or an Affiliate.

shall
not be considered in construing this Agreement. Capitalized

“Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of voting securities of the
corporation where such acquisition causes such person to own thirty-five
percent
(35%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that
for purposes of this Subsection (1), the following acquisitions shall not

Voting Securities; or
(2) individuals
who as of the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors (the “Incumbent
Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of
Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent
to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s
shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors
then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such
individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this
purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as
a
result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election
or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies

assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially
the
same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business
Combination of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, (ii) no Person
(excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or
such
corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns,
directly or indirectly, thirty-five percent (35%) or more of, respectively,
the
then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from
such
Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting
securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed
prior to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the
members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such
Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the
execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing
for
such Business Combination; or
(4) approval
by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution
of
the Company.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred for
purposes of this Agreement by reason of any actions or events in which the

or director of the Company or an Affiliate.
“Disability”
shall
have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement between the Recipient
and
the Company, or if there is none, then Disability means the inability of

of the
Company or an Affiliate due to the Recipient’s death, Disability,
retirement upon or after reaching age 65, or termination of employment
by
the Company or an Affiliate without Cause, a portion of the shares
of
Common Stock determined pursuant to the schedule in Item A will

by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the Recipient’s

If
a Change in Control occurs before December 31, 2008, then neither

in
Control, then one share of Common Stock will be issuable as of

the Change in Control for each Performance Restricted Stock Right
and the
Performance Restricted Stock Rights will terminate as of such date,
and
(2) in the case of a Recipient who before the date of the Change in
Control has ceased to perform services as an employee of the Company
or an
Affiliate due to the Recipient’s death, Disability, retirement upon or
after reaching age 65, or termination of employment by the Company
or an
Affiliate without Cause, then a fraction (determined in accordance
with
Item C above) of one share of Common Stock will be issuable as
of the date
of the Change in Control for each Performance Restricted Stock
Right and
the Performance Restricted Stock Rights will terminate as of such
date.
|
|
E.
|
All
Performance Restricted Stock Rights as to which the events have
not
occurred requiring shares of Common Stock to be issued as of the
Recipient’s cessation of services as an employee of the Company or an
Affiliate shall be forfeited. If the events have occurred requiring
shares
of Common Stock to be issued to a Recipient prior to the Recipient’s
cessation of services as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate,
the
shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the Recipient even if
the
Recipient’s employment terminates for any reason before the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued has been determined.
