Award Agreements. The terms of Other Share-Based Award granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with the Plan. Such Award Agreement shall either comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Code Section 409A. The terms of such Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant.
Award Agreements. Each Award Agreement shall either be # in writing in a form approved by the Committee and executed by the Company by an officer duly authorized to act on its behalf, or # an electronic notice in a form approved by the Committee and recorded by the Company (or its designee) in an electronic recordkeeping system used for the purpose of tracking one or more types of Awards as the Committee may provide; in each case and if required by the Committee, the Award Agreement shall be executed or otherwise electronically accepted by the recipient of the Award in such form and manner as the Committee may require. The Committee may authorize any officer of the Company to execute any or all Award Agreements on behalf of the Company. The Award Agreement shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the Award as established by the Committee consistent with the provisions of the Plan.
Award Grant. Executive will be eligible to participate in long-term incentive programs maintained by the Company from time to time in the sole discretion of the Company. Any such long-term incentive awards will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable plan and award agreement
Award Agreements. No Participant shall have rights under an Award granted to such Participant unless and until an Award Agreement shall have been duly executed on behalf of the Company and, if requested by the Company, signed by the Participant, or until such Award Agreement is delivered and accepted through an electronic medium in accordance with procedures established by the Company.
DSU Award. Each DSU credited to a Deferred Stock Unit Account represents the Company’s commitment to issue such Participants a fixed number of shares of Common Stock upon a Distribution Event. No actual shares of Common Stock shall be issued until a Distribution Event described in Section 10 occurs, with such shares to be issued by the Company under the Incentive Plan, or under this Plan, as appropriate. The Deferred Stock Units under any DSU Award shall not be considered issued and outstanding shares for purposes of shareholder voting rights or for purposes of receiving dividends and other distributions, if any (other than as provided in [Section 8(c)(3)] below.)
Award Agreements. All Options granted pursuant to this Article 4 shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine which are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. The terms of Options need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Granting of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall impose no obligation on the recipient to exercise such Option. Any individual who is granted an Option pursuant to this Article 4 may hold more than one Option granted pursuant to the Plan at the same time.
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.
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.
