Vesting; Forfeiture Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that the Participant continues to provide services until the Vesting Date (as defined below):
Vested Shares “Vested Shares” shall mean the shares of Restricted Stock which are no longer subject to the Restrictions by reason of Section 3.2.
Unvested Shares You are reflected as the owner of record of the Award Shares on the Company’s books. The Company will hold the share certificates for safekeeping, or otherwise retain the Award Shares in uncertificated book entry form, until the Award Shares become vested and nonforfeitable, and any share certificates (or electronic delivery) representing such unvested shares will include a legend to the effect that you may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate the Award Shares. You must deliver to the Company, as soon as practicable after the Grant Date, a stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to the Award Shares. If you forfeit any Award Shares, the stock power will be used to return the certificates for the forfeited Award Shares to the Company’s transfer agent for cancellation.
Forfeiture of Restricted Shares Subject to Section 4(b), if your Service to the Company or any Affiliate terminates before all of the Restricted Shares have vested, or if you attempt to transfer Restricted Shares in a manner contrary to the transfer restrictions, you will immediately forfeit all unvested Restricted Shares. Any Restricted Shares that are forfeited shall be returned to the Company for cancellation.
Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Upon the termination of your employment by you, the Company or its Subsidiaries for any reason other than those set forth in Section 4 hereof prior to such vesting, in addition to the circumstance described in Section 9(a) hereof, any and all Shares of Restricted Stock which have not become vested in accordance with Section 3, 4 or 5 hereof shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.
Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units Except as provided in Section 3, if the Employee terminates employment prior to the satisfaction of the vesting requirements set forth in Section 2(a) above, any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately be forfeited. The period of time during which the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Award are forfeitable is referred to as the “Restricted Period.”
Lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions The Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to the Restricted Shares in accordance with the following schedule provided that Employee has been continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate from the date of this Agreement through the lapse date. Date Percentage of Total Number of Restricted Shares as to Which Forfeiture Restricted Lapse May 15, 2004 16 % May 15, 2005 18 % May 15, 2006 20 % May 15, 2007 22 % May 15, 2008 24 % Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse as to all of the Restricted Shares on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Plan), or (ii) the date Employee's employment with the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates is terminated for any reason other than a termination by the Employee's employer for "Cause" or a voluntary termination by the Employee. In the event Employee's employment is terminated for any reason, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee"), may, in the Committee's sole discretion, approve the lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions as to any or all Restricted Shares still subject to such restrictions, such lapse to be effective on the date of such approval or Employee's termination date, if later. To the extent that any Restricted Shares are vested solely as a result of the Employee's termination of employment pursuant to the foregoing, such shares shall be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the Company with respect to all (but not less than all) of such shares in the event the Employee proposes to sell or otherwise transfer such shares to any other person. The Employee shall notify the Company prior to any such transfer (and in the absence of such prior notice any such transfer shall be void). The Company's right of repurchase shall be exercisable with respect to such shares within the thirty (30) day period following the date the Employee gives notice to the Company of the proposed transfer. The purchase price of the shares repurchased by the Company hereunder shall be "Fair Market Value" (as defined in the Plan). If the Company exercises its right of first refusal, the sale shall be consummated within five (5) days of the date the Company elects to exercise its right.
Forfeiture of RSUs If you (a) breach any restrictive covenant (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes any non-compete, non-solicit, non-disparagement or confidentiality provisions) contained in any arrangements with the Company (including your Employment Agreement and the confidentiality covenant contained in Section 10(c) hereof) to which you are subject or (b) engage in fraud or willful misconduct that contributes materially to any financial restatement or material loss to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, your rights with respect to the RSUs shall immediately terminate, and you shall be entitled to no further payments or benefits with respect thereto and, if the RSUs are vested and/or settled, the Company may require you to forfeit or remit to the Company any amount payable, or the after-tax net amount paid or received by you, in respect of any RSUs; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall make such demand that you forfeit or remit any such amount no later than six months after learning of the conduct described in this Section 4 and (ii) in cases where cure is possible, you shall first be provided a 15-day cure period to cease, and to cure, such conduct.
Restricted Shares Employee hereby accepts the Restricted Shares when issued and agrees with respect thereto as follows:
Forfeiture Restrictions The Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions, and in the event of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason other than as provided in Section 2(b), the Employee shall, for no consideration, forfeit to the Company all Restricted Shares then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions. The prohibition against transfer and the obligation to forfeit and surrender Restricted Shares to the Company upon termination of employment are herein referred to as the “Forfeiture Restrictions.” The Forfeiture Restrictions shall be binding upon and enforceable against any transferee of Restricted Shares.
