Thereafter, each subsequent annual grant of the restricted stock shall vest over four years in equal 25% installments commencing on the one year anniversary date of each such annual grant of the restricted stock provided the Employee is still employed by the Company, and on each subsequent anniversary date of each such annual grant of the restricted stock provided the Employee is still employed by the Company, provided that in the event of termination without “Cause” or by Employee for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined below), the next immediate tranche of granted restricted stock that would otherwise have vested if employment had not been so terminated shall accelerate and be vested as of the Date of Termination. The foregoing grants will be subject to Section 9 hereof.”
