Issuance of Restricted Shares. Until the Restricted Shares vest as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement, the Restricted Shares will be evidenced either by a book-entry in your name with the Company’s transfer agent or by one or more stock certificates issued in your name. Any such stock certificate(s) will be deposited with the Company or its designee and will bear the following legend:
Shares Subject to Restricted Stock Awards. Unvested Shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by a book-entry in the name of the Participant with the Companys transfer agent or by one or more Stock certificates issued in the name of the Participant. Any such Stock certificate shall be deposited with the Company or its designee, together with an assignment separate from the certificate, in blank, signed by the Participant, and bear an appropriate legend referring to the restricted nature of the Restricted Stock evidenced thereby. Any book-entry shall be subject to transfer restrictions and accompanied by a similar legend. Upon the vesting of Shares of Restricted Stock and the corresponding lapse of the restrictions and forfeiture conditions, the corresponding transfer restrictions and restrictive legend will be removed from the book-entry evidencing such Shares or the certificate evidencing such Shares, and such certificate shall be delivered to the Participant. Such vested Shares may, however, remain subject to additional restrictions as provided in [Section 17(c)].
The Corporation shall issue in book-entry form only and shall not be represented by a certificate, registered in the name of the Participant, evidencing the Restricted Stock. Each such book-entry shall bear the following legend:
Certificate Legend. In addition to any legends placed on certificates pursuant to Section 8.4, each certificate representing Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may bear a legend such as the following or as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion:
Each certificate or book entry evidencing Partnership Interests (other than Series A Preferred Units) shall bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form:
Any share of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.
Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Company Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until # all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, # in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and # the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations. The Company may place on a certificate or Book-Entry Shares representing Company Stock any legend or other notation required to reflect restrictions pursuant to the Plan, and any legend or other notation deemed necessary by the Company’s counsel to comply with federal or state securities laws. The Company may require a customary written indication of a Participant’s investment intent. Until a Participant has been issued a certificate or Book-Entry Shares for the shares of Company Stock acquired, the Participant shall possess no shareholder rights with respect to the shares.
Delivery of Shares. Upon the exercise of an Option in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, the receipt by the Company of the payment for the shares of Company Stock so acquired, and satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 5, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered, within a reasonable time, to the Participant exercising the Option, either certificate(s) or shares held in book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) for the number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which the Option is exercised. The shares of Company Stock shall be registered in the name of the exercising Participant or in such name jointly with the Participant as the Participant may direct in the written notice of exercise. The Company may place on any certificate or Book-Entry Shares representing Company Stock issued upon the exercise of an Option any legend or notation deemed desirable by the Company’s counsel to comply with federal or state securities laws. The Company may require of the Participant a customary indication of his or her investment intent.
