The Participant shall vest in the RSUs as follows: one-third of the total number of RSUs subject to this grant (including DEUs credited with respect to such RSUs) shall vest on March 1, 2024, one-third of the total number of RSUs subject to this grant (including DEUs credited with respect to such RSUs) shall vest on March 1, 2025, and the remaining number of RSUs subject to this grant (including DEUs credited with respect to such RSUs) shall vest on March 1, 2026. The Participant must be continuously employed by the Company or a Related Company (as defined in paragraph 13) from the date the RSUs are granted through each of the applicable vesting dates specified in this paragraph 5(a) as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the RSUs, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 7 (“Early Cancellation/Accelerated Vesting of RSUs”) or as otherwise provided by the Committee.

General. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 26 below, all disputes arising under or related to the Plan or this Agreement and all claims in which a Participant seeks damages or other relief that relate in any way to RSUs or other benefits of the Plan are subject to the dispute resolution procedure described below in this paragraph 25.

General. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, you agree that, with respect to all RSUs granted to you on or after January 1, 2007 and all short-term incentive awards made to you on or after January 1, 2007, to the extent the Company or any Related Company is required to materially restate any financial results based upon your willful misconduct or gross negligence while employed by the Company or any Related Company (and where such restatement would have resulted in a lower payment being made to you), you will be required to repay all previously paid or deferred # RSUs and # short-term incentive awards that were provided to you during the performance periods that are the subject of the restated financial results, plus a reasonable rate of interest. For purposes of this paragraph, “willful misconduct” and “gross negligence” shall be as determined by the Committee. The Audit Committee of the Verizon Board of Directors shall determine whether a material restatement of financial results has occurred. If you do not repay the entire amount required under this paragraph, the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, offset your obligation to repay against any source of income available to it, including but not limited to any money you may have in your nonqualified deferral accounts.

General. All Partnership items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credits, or tax preference items, (the “Tax Incidents”), shall be determined as of the end of each fiscal year. As between a Partner and his transferee, Tax Incidents for any fiscal year (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall be apportioned in accordance with the ratio that the number of days in the Partnership fiscal year prior to the effective date of transfer bears to the number of such days thereafter (including the effective date of the transfer).

General. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Committee; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion, take any action delegated to the Committee under this Plan as it may deem necessary or appropriate. The members of the Committee shall be deemed independent if and to the extent required under Applicable Law.

General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for its own account or for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Facility Availability Period and prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Borrower will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of L/C Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under [Section 2.12(b)] to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such a Subsidiary that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit # the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person # to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions, except to the extent permitted for a Person required to comply with Sanctions, # in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement or # in any manner that would result in a violation of one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally or # if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from issuing such Letter of Credit, or if any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or if any such order, judgment or decree, or law shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it.

General. All payments to be made by each Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Parent Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Domestic Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Domestic Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the dates specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Canadian Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Canadian Administrative Agent’s Office in the applicable currency and in Same Day Funds not later than # the Applicable Time specified by the Canadian Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein, with respect to payments in Canadian Dollars and # 2:00 p.m. on the dates specified herein, with respect to payments in Dollars. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall provide copies of all related correspondence with the Canadian Borrower to the Parent Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Domestic Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States and the Canadian Administrative Agent may require that any payments due from the Canadian Borrower under this Agreement be made in Canada. If, for any reason, the Canadian Borrower is prohibited by any Requirement of Law from making any required payment hereunder in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Dollar payment amount. The applicable Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the applicable Administrative Agent # after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments by the Parent Borrower, or (ii) (x) after the Applicable Time specified by the Canadian Administrative Agent in the case of payments by the Canadian Borrower in Canadian Dollars or # after 2:00 p.m. in the case of payments by the Canadian Borrower in Dollars, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment to be made by a Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

General. On any termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall be entitled to:

General. It is the intention of both the Company and the Executive that the benefits and rights to which the Executive could be entitled pursuant to this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance promulgated or issued thereunder (“[Section 409A]”), to the extent that the requirements of [Section 409A] are applicable thereto, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with that intention. If the Executive or the Company believes, at any time, that any such benefit or right that is subject to Section 409A does not so comply, it shall promptly advise the other and shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the timing of such benefits and rights such that they comply with Section 409A (with the most limited possible economic effect on the Executive).

General. Except as provided otherwise herein and except as provided in paragraph # below in respect of health benefits, while you are employed by the Company, you will be entitled to such benefits and fringes, if any, as are generally provided from time to time by the Company to its similarly-situated executive employees, subject to the satisfaction of any eligibility requirements.
