                                        (iv)          Restricted Stock. Any restricted stock that was granted to the Executive by the Company that is unvested as of the date on which the Executive’s employment terminates due to a nonrenewal shall automatically become vested in a pro-rata portion of such restricted stock determined on the basis of the number of full months that have elapsed from the date of grant of such restricted stock until the termination date divided by the total number of months required for the restricted stock to become vested if not for the termination or this provision. Thereafter, the unvested portion of the restricted stock shall automatically be reacquired by the Company and the Executive shall have no further rights in such unvested portion of the restricted stock.
