(a)                                  Delivery of Stock.  Within sixty (60) days following the end of a Restricted Period or upon immediate vesting as described in Section 3, the Company shall deliver to the Participant one share of the Company’s Stock free and clear of any restrictions in settlement of each of the unrestricted units.

 

(b)                                 Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement or the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any Stock or make any other distribution of benefits under this Award Agreement or the Plan unless such delivery or distribution complies with all applicable laws (including, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.
