Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting date, if, prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, there is a Change of Control of the Company (as that term is defined in the Plan) or the Participant’s service to us terminates because of death or disability, all Shares not yet vested shall become immediately vested.
3. Forfeiture. Shares that do not become vested in accordance with the vesting set forth in Section 2 shall be forfeited to the Company.
4. Legend. Each share certificate representing the Shares shall bear a legend indicating that such Shares are “Restricted Stock” and are subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan.
5 Stock Issuance.

(b) Any certificates representing the Shares that may be delivered to the Participant by the Company prior to vesting shall be redelivered to the Company to be held by the Company until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed and the Shares shall thereby have become vested or the shares represented thereby have been forfeited hereunder. Such certificates shall bear a legend as contemplated by Section 4.
(c) Promptly after the vesting of the Shares pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall, as applicable, either remove the notations on any shares issued in book entry form which have vested or deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Shares which have vested. The Participant shall deliver to the Company any representations or other documents required by this Agreement or the Plan.
(d) If the Company elects to issue certificates to the Participant, the Participant shall be required to execute a stock power, in the form attached as Exhibit A, with respect to the Shares. The Company shall not deliver any certificates in accordance with this Agreement unless and until the Company shall have received such stock power executed by the Participant. The Participant, by acceptance of this award, shall be deemed to appoint, and does so appoint by execution of this Agreement, the Company and each of its authorized representatives as the Participant’s attorney(s)-in-fact to effect any transfer of unvested forfeited Shares (or Shares otherwise reacquired by the Company hereunder) to the Company as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement and to execute such documents as the Company or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer.
6. Rights as a Shareholder. Except for the transfer and other restrictions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and in the Plan, the Participant, as record holder of the Shares, shall possess all the rights of a holder of the Company’s common stock, including the right to receive dividends on and to vote the Shares; provided, however, that prior to becoming vested and transferable, the certificates representing such Shares shall be held by the Company for the benefit of the Participant. As the Shares become vested and transferable, certificates representing such Shares shall be released to the Participant.
7. Transferability. The Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until they become fully vested and transferable in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement and then only to the extent permitted under the Agreement and the Plan and any applicable securities laws. Prior to full vesting and transferability, all rights with respect to the Shares granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be available, during such Participant’s lifetime, only to such Participant.
8 Section 83(b) Election. The Participant may elect, within 30 days of the Grant Date, pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, to include in his or her gross income the fair market value of the Shares covered by this Agreement in the taxable year of grant. The election must be made by filing the appropriate notice with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the Grant Date. If the Participant makes such election, the Participant shall promptly notify the Company by submitting to the Company a copy of the election notice filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
9 Adjustment of Shares. As provided in the Plan, in the event of any change in the Common Stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of Shares, or of any similar change affecting the Common Stock, the Shares shall be adjusted automatically consistent with such change to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, the Participant.
