Upon achievement of any one of the performance targets set forth below on or prior to its deadline, the performance-based conditions will be achieved. The performance target will not be deemed achieved unless and until the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors certifies in writing that it has been achieved.

THERAVANCE, INC. 2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN:
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
Payment for Shares |
| The shares have been awarded to you in consideration of your past service to the Company and no payment is required for the shares that you are receiving, except for satisfying any withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the grant of this award or the vesting or transfer of the shares. |
|
|
|
Transfer |
| On the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award and this Agreement, the Company agrees to transfer to you the number of shares of its Common Stock set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award. |
|
|
|
Vesting |
| The shares will vest as shown in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award.
The shares are eligible for vesting acceleration under the Company’s Change in Control Severance Plan and 2009 Change in Control Severance Plan (each, a “Severance Plan”) to the extent you are eligible to participate in either such Severance Plan.
No additional shares vest after your Service has terminated for any reason, except as set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award, in this Agreement or, to the extent you are eligible to participate in a Severance Plan, in a Severance Plan.
It is intended that vesting in the shares is commensurate with a full-time work schedule. For possible adjustments that may be made by the Company, see the Section below entitled “Leaves of Absence and Part-Time Work.” |
|
|
|
Shares Restricted |
| Unvested shares will be considered “Restricted Shares.”
You may not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Shares without the written consent of the Company, except as provided in the next sentence. You may transfer Restricted Shares to your spouse, children or grandchildren or to a trust established by you for the benefit of yourself or your spouse, children or grandchildren. However, a transferee of Restricted Shares must agree in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. |
|
|
|
Forfeiture |
| If your Service terminates for any reason, then your shares will be forfeited to the extent that they have not vested before the termination date and do not vest as a result of the termination of your Service. |
|
| This means that the Restricted Shares will revert to the Company. You receive no payment for Restricted Shares that are forfeited. The Company determines when your Service terminates for this purpose.
In addition, even if your Service has not terminated, if the performance target set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award is not achieved prior to its deadline, then the shares will be forfeited on the date of the Compensation Committee certification described in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award. |
|
|
|
Leaves of Absence and Part-Time Work |
| For purposes of this award, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company in writing. If your leave of absence (other than a military leave) lasts for more than 6 months, then vesting will be suspended on the day that is 6 months and 1 day after the leave of absence began. Vesting will resume effective as of the second vesting date after you return from leave of absence provided you have worked at least one day during that vesting period.
In the case of all leaves, your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work.
If you and the Company agree to a reduction in your scheduled work hours, then the Company reserves the right to modify the rate at which the shares vest, so that the rate of vesting is commensurate with your reduced work schedule. Any such adjustment shall be consistent with the Company’s policies for part-time or reduced work schedules or shall be pursuant to the terms of an agreement between you and the Company pertaining to your reduced work schedule.
The Company shall not be required to adjust any vesting schedule pursuant to this subsection. |
|
|
|
Stock Certificates |
| The Restricted Shares are issued in book-entry form, registered in your name, and held in escrow at the Company’s designated brokerage pending the date on which shares vest. After shares vest, the Company will release from escrow the number of shares of Common Stock representing your vested shares, registered in your name or in the name of your legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be. |
|
|
|
Voting Rights |
| You may vote your shares even before they vest. |
|
|
|
Dividend Rights |
| Any cash dividends distributed with respect to Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as apply to the Restricted Shares to which they relate and shall be paid to you (less all applicable withholding taxes) promptly upon vesting. |
|
|
|
Withholding Taxes |
| No shares will be released to you unless you have made arrangements |
|
| acceptable to the Company to pay any withholding taxes that may be due as a result of this award or the vesting of the shares. Prior to the relevant taxable event, you shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations for applicable taxes.
At your discretion, these arrangements may include (a) payment in cash, (b) payment from the proceeds of the sale of shares through a Company-approved broker or (c) withholding shares of Company stock that otherwise would be released to you upon vesting with a fair market value not in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount, provided that the Company, acting through the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, may provide prospectively that it no longer authorizes (c) withholding of shares.
If the Company satisfies the obligation for taxes by withholding a number of shares of Common Stock as described above, you will be deemed to have received the full number of shares released from restrictions, including the number of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations, and the fair market value of these shares, determined as of the date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash, will be applied to the withholding taxes.
You acknowledge that the proceeds of a sale pursuant to (b) above or withholding pursuant to (c) above may not be sufficient to satisfy your withholding obligations. To the extent the proceeds from such sale are insufficient to cover the taxes due, the Company may in its discretion withhold the balance of all applicable taxes legally payable by you from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company. |
|
|
|
Restrictions on Resale |
| You agree not to sell any shares at a time when applicable laws, regulations, Company policies (including the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, a copy of which can be found on the Company’s intranet) or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify. |
|
|
|
No Retention Rights |
| Your award or this Agreement does not give you the right to be employed or retained by the Company, a Parent, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate in any capacity. The Company and its Parent, Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause. |
|
|
|
Additional or Exchanged Securities and |
| In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a |
Property |
| recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, vesting and forfeiture) as are applicable to the Restricted Shares under this Agreement and the Plan. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Shares. |
