2.Grant of the Award.  This Award represents your right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to the number of restricted stock units indicated in the Grant Notice subject to your satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth therein (the “Stock Units”).  Any additional Stock Units that become subject to the Award pursuant to Capitalization Adjustments as set forth in the Plan, if any, shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Stock Units covered by your Award.

3.Dividends.   You shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution that does not result from a Capitalization Adjustment as provided in the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your Award after such shares have been delivered to you.

Common Stock will only be issued at the end of the Vesting Period, on the Vesting Date. Moreover, you will not be allowed to sell, rent or otherwise dispose of Common Stock issued to you until the end of the Holding Period, if any, as provided in your Grant Notice and computed as from the Vesting Date.

Finally, even after the termination of the Holding Period, if any, your right to sell Common Stock issued in application of your Award may still be limited pursuant to Article 2 of the Sub-Plan.
