Award of Restricted Stock contract clause examples

Restricted Stock Units. Each Outside Director will receive shares of Common Stock for their Restricted Stock Units on the fifth business day of the calendar quarter following the quarter of his or her separation from Board service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may at any time deny the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the Restricted Stock Units of any Participant if, in the opinion of the Board, such Participant was engaged in an act of misconduct or otherwise engaged in conduct detrimental to the Company.

Restricted Stock Units Grant. Effective for service on or after October 1, 2008 to be granted January 1, 2009 and on the first day of each succeeding calendar quarter, each Outside Director who is then a member of the Board of Directors and served as a member of the Board for any portion of the calendar quarter ended immediately prior to such day, will be granted the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be equal to the applicable Equity Grant Amount (or the pro-rata amount based on the number of days of service in the quarter if the Outside Director did not serve the whole quarter) divided by the Fair Market Value of Common Stock for such grant date, or if the New York Stock Exchange is not open for trading on such date, the grant date shall be the next following trading date. For the last quarterly grant with respect to the last quarter of Board service, any fractional amount of the applicable Equity Grant Amount (or the pro-rata amount based on the number of days of service in the quarter if the Outside Director did not serve the whole quarter) that is not utilized in converting the grant into whole shares of Restricted Stock when added to any outstanding fractional Restricted Stock Unit shall be paid in cash when the shares are distributed pursuant to 10.(C). Effective for grants made in respect of service on or after October 1, 2010, the Restricted Stock Units are further restricted by only ratably vesting over three years, subject to accelerated full vesting upon becoming a Retired Outside Director.
