Restrictions on such award will expire in equal amounts on the first, second and third anniversaries of Grant Date 2011, unless the restrictions are earlier terminated in accordance with the Plan or the applicable award agreement. The restrictions on the Reporting Person's RSUs will be accelerated in the event of his death, disability or termination of employment without cause.
