Stock Restrictions Optionee understands that at the time of the execution of this Option Agreement, the shares of the Stock issuable upon exercise of this Option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or under any state securities law, and that the Company currently does not intend to effect any such registration. Optionee agrees that the shares of the Stock which Optionee may acquire by exercising this Option shall be purchased by Optionee for investment without a view to distribution within the meaning of the Act, and shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated unless such transfer has been registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws, or the transfer duly qualifies for an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws. In any event, Optionee agrees that the shares of the Stock which Optionee may acquire by exercising this Option shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws, whether federal or state. In addition, Optionee agrees that (i) the certificates representing the shares of the Stock purchased under this Option may bear such restrictive legend or legends as the Company's legal counsel deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the shares of the Stock purchased under this Option on the stock transfer records of the Company if such proposed transfer would, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws, and (iii) the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent to stop registration of the transfer of the shares of Stock purchased under this Option.
Restricted Stock Agreement Each Award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.
Restrictions on Grant of the Award and Issuance of Shares The grant of the Award and issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of the Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. No shares of Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any shares subject to the Award shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the settlement of the Award, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
Restrictions on Transfer of Restricted Shares The Restricted Shares subject to this grant may not be assigned, exchanged, pledged, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by Grantee, except to the Company, until the Restricted Shares have become nonforfeitable in accordance with Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof. The Grantee’s rights with respect to such purported transfer in violation of the provisions of this Section 2 of this Agreement shall be null and void, and the purported transferee shall obtain no rights with respect to such Restricted Shares.
Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions Subject to Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(c), the Award shall vest and Restrictions shall lapse in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the Grant Notice.
Release of Restrictions Upon vesting of any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock and satisfaction of any other conditions required by the Plan or pursuant to this Restricted Stock Agreement, the Company shall promptly either issue a stock certificate, without such restricted legend, for any shares of the Restricted Stock that have vested, or, if the shares are held in book entry form, the Company shall remove the notations on the book form for any shares of the Restricted Stock that have vested.
Restrictions; Vesting Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, Participant’s rights in and to Restricted Stock Units shall vest, if at all, as follows:
Certain Legal Restrictions The Plan, this Agreement, the granting and vesting of the Restricted Stock, and any obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required, and to any rules or regulations of any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.
Other Restrictions (a) The Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine that (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law is required, or (ii) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body is required, then in any such event, the grant of Restricted Stock Units shall not be effective unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
Voting Restrictions The Investor shall not be subject to voting or other restrictions arising under any applicable "anti-takeover" laws, rules or regulations.
