2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the agreement evidencing the Units (the “Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement”) or the Plan as of the date hereof all of the Units held by the Holder and set forth on Annex A hereto will be deemed cancelled and will no longer be issuable for shares of Company Common Stock, any other securities of the Company or other consideration and (b) the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and any other agreements or instruments evidencing such Units, whether or not returned to the Company for cancellation, shall be of no further force or effect.
3. The Holder (a) has not sold, assigned, pledged, transferred, encumbered, endorsed in blank to anyone, delivered to anyone, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of the Units or any interest represented thereby, or signed any power of attorney or other authorization with respect to the Units and (b) does not know of any person, firm, corporation, agency or government who has, or has asserted, any right, title, claim, equity or interest in, to or respecting the Units or any of the shares of Company Common Stock represented thereby.
4. The Holder hereby confirms that he (a) is not entitled to, nor has he been promised, any future consideration for the cancellation of the Units and (b) has not been provided any assurance that he will receive the same number of, or any, future equity awards as a result of the cancellation of the Units.
