Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to [Section 13] hereof, as soon as administratively practical following each vesting date, and in any event no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting date occurs, the Company shall # issue and deliver to the Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Vested Units; and # enter the Grantee's name on the books of the Company as the shareholder of record with respect to the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Grantee.

Settlement. Upon the vesting of each Restricted Stock Unit, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee on such vesting date or as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, either # one (1) share of Common Stock or # in the Administrator’s sole discretion, an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of # share of Common Stock on the vesting date. No fractional Shares shall be delivered; the Company shall pay cash in respect of any fractional Shares. The Company may deliver such shares either through book entry accounts held by, or in the name of, the Grantee or cause to be issued a certificate or certificates representing the number of Shares to be issued in respect of the Restricted Stock Units, registered in the name of the Grantee.

Restricted Stock Units shall be settled on the basis of one Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit. The Company shall distribute to the Grantee Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units specified in Section 1 above, on or before the end of the thirteenth month following the Vesting Date (such date of distribution, the "Settlement Date"). The Company’s obligations to the Grantee with respect to vested Restricted Stock Units will be satisfied in full upon the distribution of one Share for each Restricted Stock Unit. On the Settlement Date(s), the Company shall credit the number of Shares to be distributed to the Grantee as of that Settlement Date to a book-entry account in the name of the Grantee held by the Company’s transfer agent. In no event may any Settlement Date be accelerated except in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.
