Subject to the terms set forth in the Plan and this Award Notice, the Award will vest as follows: pro rata with respect to one-fourth of the shares subject to such Award on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant, with any fractional share resulting from such proration vesting on the fourth anniversary. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, and except as set forth below, upon the termination of your employment with HMA or any subsidiary prior to the complete vesting of the Award, the unvested portion of the Award shall be forfeited as of the date of such termination.
