2. Terms Generally. 100% of the Share Awards shall be non-forfeitable as of the Grant Date. No Share Awards shall be permitted to be transferred (other than transfers specifically permitted under this Agreement) or sold by the Grantee until the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Holding Restriction”).
3. Effect of Termination of Service; Death. If the Grantee’s service with the Company ends for any reason (other than death), the Holding Restriction shall continue to apply. The Holding Restriction will immediately lapse upon the Grantee’s death.
4. Book-Entry Shares. Evidence of book-entry Shares shall be provided to the Grantee as soon as practicable following the grant date, subject to the Holding Restriction.
