Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Annual Restricted Stock Grant shall become fully vested on the earlier occurrence of (i) the termination of grantee’s service as a director of the Company due to death or Disability; (ii) the occurrence of a Change in Control. If the grantee’s service as a director of the Company (whether or not in a Non-Employee Director capacity) terminates other than as described in clause (i) of the foregoing sentence, then the grantee shall forfeit all of his or her right, title and interest in and to any unvested shares of Restricted Stock as of the date of such termination from the Board and such shares Restricted Stock shall be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by the grantee.
