3. Restrictions. The Stock Awards granted hereunder may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered, and shall be subject to a risk of forfeiture until any requirements or restrictions contained in this Award Notice or in the Plan have been otherwise satisfied, terminated or expressly waived by the Company in writing.
4. Termination of Service.
(a) Termination of Service on Account of Death or Disability. Upon termination of the Participant’s service with the Company and its Subsidiaries on account of (i) death or (ii) Disability that also constitutes a “disability” within the meaning of Section 409A, in each case, all of the Participant’s unvested Stock Awards as of the date of such termination shall immediately vest.
(b) Termination of Service by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason. Upon termination of the Participant’s service with the Company and its Subsidiaries by the Company or its Subsidiaries without Cause, the Stock Awards that are unvested as of the date of such termination shall be forfeited on such termination date, except that, if the Participant’s termination occurs on any date other than a vesting date, a portion of the Participant’s then-unvested Stock Awards shall vest (and be settled in shares of Company Stock in accordance with Section 2 above as if such shares had vested on the first vesting date after the Participant’s termination of service) equal to the number of then-unvested Stock Awards that would have otherwise vested on the first vesting date after the Participant’s termination of service; multiplied by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which is the number of days that the Participant provided services to the Company and its Subsidiaries (y) beginning on the later of the Date of Grant or, if applicable, the most-recent vesting date prior to the Participant’s termination of service and (z) ending on the Participant’s termination date; and
(ii) the denominator of which is the total number of days (y) beginning on the later of the Date of Grant or, if applicable, the most-recent vesting date prior to the Participant’s termination of service and (z) ending on the first vesting date after the Participant’s termination of service.
If a Participant is a party to an employment agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary and such employment agreement provides for benefits on a termination of employment for “Good Reason,” a termination of the Participant’s employment for Good Reason shall constitute a termination without Cause for purposes of this Section 4(b).
5. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, if the Stock Awards are not assumed or substituted in connection with such Change in Control, then the Stock Awards shall immediately vest upon the occurrence of the Change in Control.
6. No Shareholder Rights Prior to Delivery. The Participant shall not have any rights of a shareholder (including the right to distributions or dividends) with respect to the Stock Award until shares of Company Stock are delivered pursuant to the terms of this Award Notice.
