VESTING AND DELIVERY OF SHARES: [All of the Shares will vest on [date]] or [The Shares will vest between the Grant Date and [last vesting date] with [% or number of shares] vesting on [dates]] or, if earlier, upon a Separation from Service as described in Section 5.02 of the Plan within one year after a Change in Control of the Company (the “Vesting Date”); subject, however, to the forfeiture provisions set forth below.
