3. SATISFACTION OF VESTING RESTRICTIONS; ACCOUNT.

Any such Dividend Equivalent will be released from the Account and paid or issued to you as your Conditional Restricted Stock Unit Award vests. In the event that any such Dividend Equivalent consists of Shares, the Company shall issue such Shares to you free from any vesting restrictions, in uncertificated book entry form or in share certificates representing whole Shares.
4. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE WITH THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS RELATED ENTITIES. If, at any time prior to the vesting in full of the Shares subject to your Conditional Restricted Stock Unit Award, your full- or part-time employment or service with the Company or any of its Related Entities terminates for any reason, the unvested portion of your Conditional Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be canceled and become automatically null and void.
