"in accordance with the terms of the applicable restricted stock award agreement"

A restricted stock award agreement is a legal contract that grants someone company shares that are subject to limits — for example, they may only become fully owned after working at the company for a set time, meeting performance goals, or otherwise satisfying conditions. For investors, these agreements matter because they shape insider incentives, future share dilution when restrictions lift, and company compensation costs; think of it like a gift locked in a box that opens only after certain conditions are met.
