AWARD CERTIFICATE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Grant of Award. ScanSource, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to the Participant named on Page 1 hereof (the “Participant”), subject to the restrictions and the other terms and conditions set forth in the ScanSource, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as it may be amended and/or restated (the “Plan”), and in this Award Certificate, a Restricted Stock Award (the “Award”) for the number of Shares indicated on Page 1 hereof of the Company’s common stock. For the purposes herein, the Shares subject to the Award will be issued (with appropriate legends) in the name of the Participant (or, in case of uncertificated Shares, other written evidence of ownership in accordance with applicable law shall be provided) and held in escrow by the Committee until the Restricted Stock Award vests and is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (in which case the Shares will be released to the Participant) or is forfeited (in which case the Shares shall be returned to the Company). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
2. Restrictions; Forfeiture. The Award and the underlying Shares are subject to the following restrictions. No right or interest of the Participant in the Award, to the extent restricted, may be pledged, encumbered or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate or shall be subject to any lien, obligation or liability of the Participant to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Award shall not be transferable (including by sale, assignment, pledge or hypothecation) other than by will or the laws of intestate succession. Prior to vesting, the Shares subject to the Award may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Plan or this Award Certificate, if the Participant’s service with the Company terminates for any reason other than as set forth in paragraphs (b) or (c) of Section 3 hereof, and unless the Board determines otherwise, then the Participant shall forfeit all of the Participant’s right, title and interest in and to the Award and the Shares to the extent the Award (and corresponding Shares) were not vested as of the date the Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant terminates. The restrictions imposed under this section shall apply to all Shares or other securities issued with respect to Shares hereunder in connection with any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock of the Company.
3. Expiration and Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed under Section 2 will expire on the earliest to occur of the following (the period prior to such expiration being referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”):
(a) As to all of the Shares, on the six (6)-month anniversary of the Grant Date, as specified on page 1 hereof, provided the Participant is still in service as a Director of the Company on the vesting date and has been in service since the Grant Date; or
(b) As to all of the Shares, upon the termination of the Participant’s service as a Director due to a separation from service (as defined under Code Section 409A) due to death, Disability or Retirement; or
(c) As to all of the Shares, in the event of a Change in Control.
(d) For clarification, for the purposes of this Section 3, “Disability” shall have the meaning given such term in the Plan, except that the phrase “12 months” shall be replaced by the phrase “six months”, and the Participant’s separation from service will be deemed to be due to Retirement if and only if the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service, that the Participant terminated service as a Director of the Company due to Retirement (and the Committee will not be required to deem the Participant’s separation from service as due to Retirement even if similarly-situated Directors previously were deemed to have terminated service as a Director of the Company due to Retirement).
