b.Certificate; Restrictive Legend. The Grantee agrees that any certificate issued for the Restricted Stock Shares prior to the end of the Restricted Period and lapse of any restrictions relating thereto shall be inscribed with the following legend:
“THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING FORFEITURE PROVISIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AGAINST TRANSFER (THE “RESTRICTIONS”), CONTAINED IN THE ALAMO GROUP INC. 2019 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND THE RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER AND THE

c.Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Shares During Restricted Period. The Restricted Stock Shares shall be subject to restrictions on transferability until such restrictions lapse pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof (the “Restricted Period”). During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Stock Shares and any interest therein may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, assigned, or otherwise disposed of except by: (i) will or the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) a qualified domestic relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code or any similar instrument. Any attempt to dispose of any Restricted Stock in contravention of such restrictions shall be null and void and without effect.
d.Removal of Restrictions.

Provided th at the Grantee shall have complied with his or her obligations under Section 5 hereof, the Company will release to the Grantee from escrow on a rolling basis as Restricted Periods end, stock certificates free of the restrictive legend described in Section 3(b) hereof, for those Restricted Stock Shares for which the particular Restricted Period applicable to the Restricted Stock Shares has ended, as soon as practicable after the last day of the particular Restricted Period applicable to the Restricted Stock Shares.
e.Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. Except as otherwise may be provided in this Award or in the Plan, if the Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason during the Restricted Period, the Grantee’s rights to the Restricted Stock Shares for which restrictions have not lapsed will be forfeited back to the Company and the Grantee will have no further rights thereto.
f.Change in Control. Except as may otherwise be provided in any Change in Control Agreement between the Company and the Grantee, in the event of a Change in Control, restrictions on all Restricted Stock Shares shall immediately lapse and the Restricted Period shall end, unless the Award is either assumed or equitable substitution is made therefor.

g.Death or Disability.

The term “Disability” means that the Grantee is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months. The ultimate determination of whether an individual has suffered a Disability shall be made by the Committee in its reasonable discretion.

Except as provided in this Section 3, the Grantee shall possess all incidents of ownership with respect to the Restricted Stock Shares during the Restricted Period, including the right to receive all dividends and distributions paid with respect to such Restricted Stock Shares and to vote such Restricted Stock Shares.
