Subsequent to such Vesting Date or Dates, the shares of Stock on which all restrictions and conditions have lapsed shall no longer be deemed Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee’s employment is terminated by reason of death or disability (as determined by the Administrator) prior to the vesting of shares of Restricted Stock granted herein, the unvested shares of Restricted Stock held by the Grantee shall become fully vested. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Paragraph 3.
