For avoidance of doubt, on ____, 20__, one hundred percent (100%) of the shares of Restricted Stock shall be transferable by the Board Member if the Board Member is still a Board Member, and has been continuously serving during such twelve (12) month period (from ____, 20__ to ____, 20__) as a Board Member of the Company on such date. 


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control, all previously granted shares of Restricted Stock not yet free of the restrictions of this Section 1 shall become immediately free of such restrictions.


 


2.      Death or Decision to Not Stand for Reelection at End of Term of the Board Member. In the event of the death of the Board Member, all previously granted shares of Restricted Stock not yet free of the restrictions of Section 1 shall become immediately free of such restrictions. If the Director chooses not to run for re-election at the Annual Meeting of shareholders after having fulfilled his or her full Class term of office or stands for re-election and is not re-elected, then all previously granted shares of Restricted Stock not yet free of the restrictions of Section 1 shall become immediately free of such restrictions.
