ARTICLE V

Restricted Stock

5.1     Awards and Award Agreements. Each Award granted hereunder shall be evidenced by minutes of a meeting of the Compensation Committee authorizing the same and by a written Award Agreement dated as of the date of grant and executed by the Company and the Director, which Award Agreement shall set forth such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee to be consistent with the Plan. Each Award shall have a Restricted Period of one (1) or more years as determined by the Committee. After the Committee determines that it will grant an Award to a Director, it will deliver an Award Agreement to the Director containing the terms under which the Restricted Stock may become vested and the number of shares of Restricted Stock that the Director shall be entitled to receive upon vesting of the Award. The Award shall be accepted by the Director executing and delivering the award Agreement in the manner specified by the Committee.

5.2    Purchase Price. Restricted Stock shall be offered under the Plan for such consideration in cash or services as is determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

5.3    Restricted Period. At the time an Award is made, the Committee shall establish period(s) of time during which the shares of Restricted Stock granted shall be restricted and subject to forfeiture (the “Restricted Period”). The duration of the Restricted Period and the limitations on transferability will be set forth in the Award Agreement. Each Award may have a different Restricted Period as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

5.4    Risk of Forfeiture. In the event a Director shall cease to be a Director for any reason, then except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.4 or in Section 5.9, the Director shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Director pursuant to an Award Agreement that have not previously vested. Upon the unanimous approval of the Committee (except that if the Director whose Restricted Stock is at issue is a member of the Committee, then that Director will abstain from the decision), the Committee may decide to accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock that had not vested prior to the date the Director’s Service terminates.

5.5    Non-transferability of Awards. No Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan shall be transferred, sold, exchanged, pledged or otherwise disposed of by a Director during the Restricted Period, other than (i) by the Director’s last will and testament, (ii) by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) as otherwise determined by the Committee. The provisions of the Plan and each applicable Award Agreement shall be binding upon the Director’s executors, administrators, personal representatives, and heirs.

5.6    Stock Certificate Representing Restricted Stock and Book Entry. At the time of grant of an Award, the Company may issue stock certificates or cause such shares to be issued in the name of the Director on the books and records of the Company that evidence the Restricted Stock pending the lapse of applicable restrictions; and if a stock certificate is issued, such certificate shall bear a legend making reference to such restrictions substantially in the following form (or such other form as the Committee shall specify):

“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. 2018 Restricted Stock Plan For Directors and an Award Agreement entered into by the registered owner and Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. Copies of such Plan and Award Agreement are on file in the offices of Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc.”

5.7    Escrow of Restricted Stock. To facilitate enforcement of the transfer restrictions prior to vesting, such shares of Restricted Stock granted to a Director shall be held in custody by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions thereon have lapsed. Each Director shall execute and deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank for the shares of Restricted Stock covered by an Award.

5.8    Shares Upon Vesting. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions specified in an applicable Award Agreement, the restrictions applicable to an Award of Restricted Stock shall lapse and the number of shares of Stock shall be delivered by the Company as soon as administratively feasible, free and clear of such restrictions and legends, except any that may be imposed by law. A new stock certificate or record on the books and records of the Company for the balance of any shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued with applicable restrictive legends and held in escrow by the Company pending lapse of such restrictions.

5.9    Effect of Death, Disability, Retirement or Other Termination of Service.

(a)    If a Director’s Service shall be terminated by reason of retirement after age seventy (70) or the disability (as defined in Section 5.9(b) hereof) or death of the Director, then all outstanding Awards granted to such Director shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested on the date of such termination of Service.

(b)    For purposes of this Section 5.9, the term “disability” shall have the meaning set forth in Code Section 22(e)(3).

5.10    Investment Intent. Upon or prior to a Director’s execution and delivery of an applicable Award Agreement, the Director shall furnish to the Company in writing such information or assurances as, in the Company’s opinion, may be necessary to enable it to comply fully with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder and any other applicable statutes, rules, and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, if a registration statement is not in effect under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock to be issued as a result of an Award, the Company shall have the right to require, as a condition to the grant of such Award, that the Director represent to the Company in writing that the shares of Restricted Stock to be received upon grant of such Award and the shares of Stock upon vesting of the Award will be acquired by the Director for investment and not with a view to distribution and that the Director agree, in writing, that such shares will not be disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement, unless the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to it to the effect that such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company shall have the right to endorse on certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock and Stock such legends referring to the foregoing representations and restrictions or any other applicable restrictions on resale or disposition as the Company, in its discretion, shall deem appropriate.

ARTICLE VI

Termination, Amendment, and Modification of Plan

The Board may at any time terminate, and may at any time and from time to time and in any respect amend or modify, the Plan; provided, however, that no such action of the Board without approval of the shareholders of the Company may increase the total number of shares of Stock subject to the Plan except as contemplated in Section 4.3 hereof, and provided further that no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall without the written consent of the Director holding an Award adversely affect the rights of the Director with respect to such Award.

ARTICLE VII

Miscellaneous

7.1    Service. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award granted hereunder or in any Award Agreement relating thereto shall confer upon any Director the right to continue Service.

Section 83(b) of the Code permits a recipient of Restricted Stock to elect, within thirty (30) days following the date of grant of the Award, to elect to immediately recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Stock on the date of the grant (an “83(b) Election”).

The Company is authorized to withhold from any cash or Stock remuneration payable to a Director any taxes required to be withhold by the Company.
