Award contract clause examples

Award Date. The term “Award Date” with respect to each Participant means the date the Company grants Restricted Stock Units as set forth in the Award for such Participant.

The Participant’s manager is responsible for determining whether the Participant has met the Award qualifiers and other terms of the Plan, prior to providing an Award recommendation. The Award recommendation should be primarily based on the performance of the Participant (including but not limited to risk performance) and in consideration of the performance of the line of business and the Company.

Initial Award. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director following the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Registration Date”) and following the first annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) following the Registration Date will automatically be granted an Award (the “Initial Award”), which grant will be effective on the date on which such individual first becomes an Outside Director, whether through election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy. The Initial Award will have a Value (as defined below) of $175,000 multiplied by a fraction # the numerator of which is # 12 minus # the number of full months between the date of the last Annual Meeting and the date the Outside Director becomes a member of the Board and # the denominator of which is 12 (with the result rounded down to the nearest whole Share). For example, if nine months have lapsed between the last Annual Meeting and the Outside Director’s start date, his or her Initial Award will have a Value of $43,750. The Initial Award will be comprised solely of Restricted Stock Units.

Award Agreement. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement stating the terms and conditions applicable to such Award, consistent with the requirements of the Plan and any applicable Program.

Award Agreement. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the maximum duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, the conditions upon which an Option shall become vested and exercisable, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine which are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan. The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or an NQSO.

The Executive is hereby awarded Performance Units with a value of $ per unit at the payment date. The Executive shall earn a percentage of the Performance Unit award upon achievement of a Performance Goal based on the Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) as a percentage of the cost of capital during the period January 1, through December 31, . ROIC is calculated by taking net income before after-tax cost of interest divided by total capital. The Performance Goal is calculated as follows:

Restricted Stock Award. The Company hereby grants to Holder an aggregate of ​ shares of Restricted Stock (“Award Restricted Stock”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and supplemented in this Award, including, without limitation, the restrictions more specifically set forth in Section 2 herein.

shall have a fair market value obtained by multiplying $70,000 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole calendar months remaining in the calendar year and the denominator of which is twelve. Such prorated grant shall be made upon the first trading day of the calendar month, within the Company’s open trading window, following the date such individual becomes an Eligible Director, with the number of shares determined using the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date, and rounding this number to the nearest integer multiple of one hundred (100) shares.

Nature of Award. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Award shall give the Participant any right to be retained in the employment of the Company or its Affiliates or affect the right of any such Employer to terminate the Participant. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not constitute an inducement to, or condition of, the employment of any Participant. The Plan is a discretionary plan, and participation by the Participant is purely voluntary. The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty. Participation in the Plan with respect to this Award shall not entitle the Participant to participate with respect to any other award in the future, or benefits in lieu of Performance RSUs, even if Performance RSUs have been granted in the past. Any payment or benefit paid to the Participant with respect to this Award shall not be considered to be part of the Participant’s “salary,” and thus, shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating any termination indemnity, severance pay, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payment, bonuses, long-term service awards, retirement, pension payment, welfare benefits, or any other employee benefits. In no event should the Award be considered as compensation for or relating to, past services for the Company, the Employer, or any Affiliate of the Company, nor are Performance RSUs and the Shares subject to the Performance RSUs intended to replace any pension rights or compensation. All decisions with respect to future Performance RSUs, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. The Participant’s employment or service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer providing services to the Company or one of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later to be found invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award or determined by the Company, the Participant’s right to vest in Performance RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of the date that the Participant is no longer providing services as an employee. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer providing services for purposes of the Participant’s Performance RSU grant. Unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the RSUs, the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or Award or by the Company in its discretion, the Performance RSUs and benefits evidenced by this document do not create any entitlement to have the Performance RSUs transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any Change in Control or other corporate transaction affecting the Shares. The following provisions apply only if the Participant is providing services outside the United States and/or the Company is not the Participant’s employer: In consideration of the grant of Performance RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Performance RSUs resulting from the Participant ceasing to provide services to the Company or the Employer (regardless of the reason for the termination, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of any employment agreement) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company, the Employer and any Affiliate from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting this Award, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim. Neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable to the Participant for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States dollar that may affect the value of the Performance RSU or any amounts due to the Participant in the settlement of the Performance RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

Distribution of Award. Upon the Distribution Date, a number of Shares attributable to Your Vested Award shall be distributed to You as elected under Section VI of the Plan, free and clear of any restrictions (other than restrictions arising by operation of law and the Company’s Insider Trading Practice). However, with respect to a Vested Award under Section 2(c) of this Agreement, distribution of the Shares shall be made to Your legal representative within 30 days following Your date of death.
