Award of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby confirms the grant to you, as of the Grant Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, of the number of Restricted Stock Units identified on the cover page of this Agreement (the "Units"). Each Unit represents the right to receive one Share of the Company’s Common Stock. The Units granted to you will be credited to an account in your name maintained by the Company. This account will be unfunded and maintained for book-keeping purposes only, with the Units simply representing an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company.
Award of Restricted Stock Units. A record of the Units awarded hereunder (the “Units”) shall be evidenced by the Company in restricted book entry accounts maintained for the Employee with the Company’s transfer agent, or such other administrator designated by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), subject to such stop transfer orders and other terms deemed appropriate by the Committee to reflect the restrictions applicable to such Award (the “Restrictions”), until all the Restrictions specifically set forth in this Agreement and in [Section 9] of the Plan with respect to the Units shall expire or be canceled. Upon the lapse of all Restrictions relating to any Units, the Company shall deliver book entry Shares underlying the vested Units. The Units shall have no voting rights. The Units shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents as set forth in [Section 9] of the Plan. However, Dividend Equivalents paid with respect to Shares underlying the Units shall be credited to a restricted book entry account maintained on the Employee’s behalf until the Restrictions with respect to the Units upon which such Dividend Equivalents were paid expire or are canceled, at which time the Company shall evidence the delivery to the Employee of all such Dividend Equivalents. If the Employee forfeits any Units awarded hereunder, such Units and any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect thereto shall automatically revert to the Company (without any payment by the Company to the Employee) and shall no longer be reflected in the restricted book entry account. No interest will be accrued with respect to Dividend Equivalents.
Vesting of Award Restricted Stock. The restrictions on the Award Restricted Stock shall lapse (Award Restricted Stock with respect to which restrictions have lapsed being herein referred to as “Vested Shares”) and such Award Restricted Stock shall become non-forfeitable and 100% vested on the occurrence (if any) of the earliest of the dates set forth in [(a) through (d)] below:
Award of Restricted Stock Units. The Company grants to Participant an award (the “Award”) of performance-based restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units” or “Units”), pursuant to, and subject to, the terms of the Plan. The Award is based on a target award value of <# of Units> Units (the “Target Award Units”). The number of Restricted Stock Units that are ultimately earned pursuant to the Award (if any) will be determined based on the Target Award Units and the procedures and calculations set forth in this Agreement. Under the calculations set forth below, the maximum potential Award is a number of Units equal to two (2.0) times the sum of Target Award Units plus any related Dividend Equivalent Units (the “Maximum Award Units”). The Award is not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under [Section 162(m)(4)(C)] of the Code.
Grant of Restricted Stock Award. The Committee, on behalf of the Company, hereby grants to Grantee, effective as of the Grant Date, Restricted Stock equal to the Award Amount set forth above, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the specific vesting requirements set forth above under the Vest Schedule, and as otherwise provided in the Plan. The Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of Grantee as of the respective Grant Date for such Shares of Restricted Stock. The Company may issue stock certificates or evidence Grantee’s interest by using a restricted book entry account with the Company’s transfer agent. Physical possession or custody of any stock certificates that are issued shall be retained by the Company until such time as the Shares of Restricted Stock are vested. The Company reserves the right to place a legend on such stock certificate(s) restricting the transferability of such certificates and referring to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of this Agreement and the Plan.
Acceptance of Restricted Stock Award. This award of Restricted Stock is conditioned upon Grantee’s acceptance of the terms of this Agreement, as evidenced by Grantee’s execution of this Agreement or by Grantee’s electronic acceptance of this Agreement in a manner and during the time period allowed by the Company. If the terms of this Agreement are not timely accepted by execution or by such electronic means, the award of Restricted Stock may be cancelled.
Restricted Stock. A lump sum amount equal to the sum of # with respect to restricted shares and/or restricted share units granted to the Participant under any of the Equity Plans that were outstanding but not vested on the Relevant Date where such vesting of restricted shares and/or restricted share units was not determined by the attainment of performance goals, and which are forfeited as a result of the Participant's Separation from Service, an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Corporation (or such other equity security into which the restricted shares and/or restricted share units has been converted) on the date of Separation from Service, and # with respect to restricted shares and/or restricted share units granted to the Participant under any of the Equity Plans that were outstanding but not vested on the Relevant Date where such vesting of restricted shares and/or restricted share units was determined by the attainment of performance goals, and which are forfeited as a result of the Participant's Separation from Service, an amount equal to the Average PRSU Payout multiplied by the Fair Market Value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Corporation (or such other equity security into which the restricted shares and/or restricted share units has been converted) based on the number of PRSU grants which are forfeited due to the Qualified Termination of Employment. The Participant will also be paid an amount equal to the equivalent of the amount of any dividends and other distributions which would have been paid on the number of shares of common stock of the Corporation (or such other equity security into which the restricted shares and/or restricted share units has been converted) determined based on the Average PRSU Payout determined under this section. The forfeited restricted shares and/or restricted share units determined by the attainment of performance goals according to a schedule determined by the Committee will not be paid. For purposes of this subsection # the Average PRSU Payout shall mean the three year average of the target percentage paid with respect to the restricted shares and/or restricted share units determined by the attainment of performance goals (the “PRSU’s”) awards paid to the Participant under the Equity Plans, or any successor or additional plan. The three year average of the PRSU’s paid to the Participant will be determined based on the higher of two target percentage averages computed during alternative three year periods consisting of either # the year in which the Relevant Date occurred (or, if the award is not yet paid as of the Relevant Date, for the preceding year) and the two preceding years or, # the year of the Qualified Termination of Employment (or, if the award is not yet paid as of the Qualified Termination of Employment, for the preceding year) and the two preceding years. If a Participant has been paid less than three years of PRSU’s the three year average of the PRSU’s paid to the Participant will be determined based on the average target percentage of the PRSU’s paid in prior years to the Participant under the Equity Plans, or any successor or additional plan. If a Participant has not received any prior payment of PRSU’s, the Average PRSU Payout under the Equity Plans, or any successor or additional plan, will be determined as follows:
Restricted Stock. In the event of a business combination or other transaction of the type detailed in Section 15.1, any securities, cash or other property received in exchange for shares of Restricted Stock shall continue to be governed by the provisions of any Restricted Stock Agreement pursuant to which they were issued, including any provision regarding vesting, and such securities, cash, or other property may be held in escrow on such terms as the Board of Directors may direct, to insure compliance with the terms of any such Restricted Stock Agreement.
Restricted Stock. The Committee (or, with respect to Directors, the Board) may grant Awards of Restricted Stock which shall be evidenced by an Agreement between the Company and the Grantee. Each Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee or Board may require and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) such Agreements may require that an appropriate legend be placed on Share certificates. Awards of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and provisions:
The restricted stock grants shall be made following fiscal year end, after the compensation committee has had a reasonable amount of time to review the audited fiscal year end financials.
