Forfeitability. Except as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement, if the employment of the Employee shall terminate prior to the expiration of three (3) years from the date of grant other than by reason of death or permanent disability, the shares granted (or any shares into which they may have been converted or for which they may have been exchanged) shall be forfeited. If the Employee continues to be employed on the third anniversary of the date of grant, the shares shall become non-forfeitable.
Forfeitability. Should your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant cease for any reason prior to vesting in one or more installments of the Shares subject to your Award, then your Award will be cancelled with respect to the unvested Shares and the number of your Restricted Stock Units will be reduced accordingly, and you will cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units.
Forfeitability. Should you cease Service prior to vesting in one or more Units subject to your Award, your Award will be cancelled with respect to those unvested Units on the first date you are no longer rendering Service, regardless of the reason for the termination of your Service, except as otherwise expressly provided in the above Vesting Schedule. You will cease to have any right or entitlement to receive a Cash Payment for any cancelled Units. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the above Vesting Schedule, the Vesting Schedule requires your continued Service through the applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable Units and the rights and benefits under this Agreement.

Forfeitability. The vesting schedule requires your continued service as a Board member over the applicable vesting schedule as a condition to the vesting of your Units and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Service as a Board member for only a portion of a quarterly vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle you to any proportionate vesting of the Shares allocated to that quarter or avoid or mitigate the forfeiture of your Shares that will occur upon the cessation of your service as a Board member prior to vesting in those Shares. However, all the Shares subject to your Award will vest in full should your service as a Board member terminate by reason of your death or Permanent Disability, and those vested Shares shall be issued to you on the tenth business day following such termination of Board service or as soon as administratively practicable following such termination of Board service, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such termination of Board service occurs or (ii) the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following such termination of Board service.

Forfeitability. Except as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement, if the employment of the Employee shall terminate prior to July 31, 2018 other than by reason of death or permanent disability, shares granted that have not yet become freely transferable under Section 4 (or any shares into which they may have been converted or for which they may have been exchanged) shall be forfeited. If the Employee continues to be employed on July 31, 2018, all remaining shares granted shall become non-forfeitable.
Forfeitability. The vesting schedule requires your continued service as a Board member over the applicable vesting schedule as a condition to the vesting of your Units and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Service as a Board member for only a portion of a quarterly vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle you to any proportionate vesting of the Shares allocated to that quarter or avoid or mitigate the forfeiture of your Shares that will occur upon the cessation of your service as a Board member prior to vesting in those Shares. However, all the Shares subject to your Award will vest in full and become immediately issuable should your service as a Board member terminate by reason of your death or Permanent Disability.

a. If the Director’s service as a member of the Board ends prior to the date the transfer restrictions lapse;
b. If the Director is recommended by the Company to be re-elected to the Board and fails to be re-elected by the shareholders of the Company to the Board in that election; or
c. If the Director is prohibited from serving on the Board by any court of competent jurisdiction or other government authority, or in the discretion of the Board is no longer competent to serve on the Board due to the Director’s violation of state or federal securities law or other rule of the NASDAQ Stock Market (or such other listing standards then applicable to the Company), then any Restricted Stock held by the Director that remains subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 3 shall be immediately forfeited.
Forfeitability. The vesting schedule requires your continued Service over the applicable vesting schedule as a condition to the vesting of your Units and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Service for only a portion of a quarterly vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle you to any proportionate vesting of the Shares allocated to that quarter or avoid or mitigate the forfeiture of your Shares that will occur upon the cessation of your Service prior to vesting in those Shares. However, all the Shares subject to your Award will vest in full should your Service terminate by reason of your death or Permanent Disability, and those vested Shares shall be issued to you on the tenth business day following such termination of Service or as soon as administratively practicable following such termination of Service, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such termination of Service occurs or (ii) the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following such termination of Service. Should you cease to serve as a Board member for any other reason prior to vesting in all the Units subject to your Award, your Award will be cancelled with respect to those unvested Units (and the underlying Shares) on the first date you are no longer a Board member, and you will cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled Units.
Forfeitability. Should you cease Service prior to vesting in one or more Units subject to your Award, your Award will be cancelled with respect to those unvested Units (and the underlying Shares) on the first date you are no longer in Service, regardless of the reason for the termination of your Service, whether with or without cause, voluntary or involuntary.
