If the Participant’s employment is terminated for any reason other than Retirement, Disability, or death, any Restricted Stock Units that are subject to a Restriction Period shall be forfeited immediately without further obligation on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company, and all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Stock Units shall terminate. If the Participant is granted a leave of absence before the expiration of the Restriction Period, the Participant shall not forfeit any rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units subject to the Restriction Period, except for Dividend Equivalent Payments as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement, unless the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company terminates at any time during or at the end of the leave of absence and before the expiration of the Restriction Period, at which time all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company. iii. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of the Retirement or Disability of the Participant, and the Participant Engages in Competing Employment within a period of two years following Retirement or Disability, and before the expiration of the Restriction Period, then any Restricted Stock Units subject to a Restriction Period shall be forfeited immediately and all rights of the Participant to such Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company.

All or any portion of the Restricted Stock may be forfeited by the Grantee prior to vesting at his or her sole discretion.
Restricted Stock Grant Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants the Grantee _______ shares of common stock of the Company, subject to the restrictions set forth below and in the Plan (the “Restricted Stock”). Shares of Restricted Stock may not be transferred by the Grantee or subjected to any security interest until the shares have become vested pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan.
Restricted Stock Award Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant Shares (the “Restricted Shares”), which shall vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3 hereof.
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.
Grant of Restricted Stock Award The Restricted Stock Award will be in the form of issued and outstanding shares of Stock that will be either registered in the name of the Participant and held by the Company, together with a stock power executed by the Participant in favor of the Company, pending the vesting or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, or registered in the name of, and delivered to, the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may in its sole discretion, issue Restricted Stock in any other format (e.g., electronically) in order to facilitate the paperless transfer of such Awards. If certificated, the certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock Award will bear a legend restricting the transferability of the Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock awarded to the Participant will not be sold, encumbered hypothecated or otherwise transferred except in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.
Equity Grant Subject to approval by the Board and your execution of the Company’s standard form of Restricted Stock Agreement for executives (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”), you will be eligible to receive shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2017 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “Plan”) equaling 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis as of the grant date and after giving effect to the grant. If the Company closes Preferred Round on or prior to December 31, 2019 (and provided that you are still employed by the Company at the time of such closing), the Company shall issue you an additional award of restricted shares of Company common stock under the Plan in an amount such that, after giving effect to such additional issuance, you have been granted shares of common stock equal to 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis upon closing of (and giving effect to) the Preferred Round. If the Preferred Round closes in multiple tranches (including tranches closed in the future, if initial closings of at least $3,000,000 occur by December, 2019), you will receive an additional award upon the closing of each tranche, in accordance with the foregoing. All shares of Company common stock granted to you shall be subject to repurchase and forfeiture as set forth in Restricted Stock Agreement, which shall provide that, subject to Section 6, the granted shares shall vest as follows: (i) 25% of the granted shares will vest on the three-month anniversary of the Commencement Date and (ii) thereafter, the remaining unvested shares will vest in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period, on the last day of each calendar quarter (i.e., March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31), commencing on September 30, 2018; provided, that upon a Sale Event (as defined in the Plan) all your then-unvested shares (to the extent not previously forfeited) shall vest. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and the Board have reviewed and understands and accepts your academic and work experience, as the same has been provided to the Company by you. Accordingly, and assuming the accuracy of your academic and work experience, the definition of “Cause”, as applicable to any termination of your employment by the Company (whether under the Plan, your Restricted Stock Agreement or otherwise) shall not include, and shall not be triggered by, the Company’s or the Board’s assertion or belief that you lack requisite experience for your position. In addition to the foregoing equity grant, you shall be eligible for additional grants of Company common stock or options to acquire Company common stock at such time and on such terms as determined by the Company’s board of directors. You shall also receive pre-emptive rights permitting you to preserve your vested equity position in the Company in the event of any additional issuances of Company common stock (or securities convertible into common stock), at a per-share price equal to then current fair market value, as reasonably determined by the Board in good faith.

Restricted Stock Shares of restricted stock granted to the Executive by the Company which have not become vested as of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, as provided in Section 7(b), shall immediately become vested on a pro rata basis upon the Release becoming irrevocable. The number of such additional shares of restricted stock that shall become vested as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment shall be that number of additional shares that would have become vested through the date of such termination of employment at the rate(s) determined under the vesting schedule applicable to such shares had such vesting schedule provided for the accrual of vesting on a daily basis (based on a 365-day year). The pro rata amount of shares vesting through the date of non-renewal shall be calculated by multiplying the number of unvested shares scheduled to vest in each respective vesting year by the ratio of the number of days from the date of grant through the date of non-renewal, and the number of days from the date of grant through the original vesting date of the respective vesting tranche. Any shares of restricted stock remaining unvested after such pro rata acceleration of vesting shall automatically be reacquired by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the applicable restricted stock agreement, and the Executive shall have no further rights in such unvested portion of the restricted stock. In addition, the Company shall waive any reacquisition or repayment rights for dividends paid on restricted stock prior to Executive’s termination of employment.
