In the event of a violation by Executive of this Section 3, all unvested RSUs under the Special Incentive Award shall immediately be cancelled, all Restricted Stock received from vested RSUs under the Special Incentive Award not yet sold shall immediately be forfeited, and Executive shall immediately pay to the Company any gains realized from the sale of Restricted Stock received from vested RSUs under the Special Incentive Award.
