Grantee’s Rights. The Grantee shall be paid dividend equivalent payments by the Company with respect to RSUs at the same time as dividends are paid to holders of the Company’s common stock. The Grantee shall have no voting rights as a result of the grant of RSUs. [Alternative Provision: The Grantee shall have no shareholder voting rights and shall not be entitled to receive shareholder dividends or dividend equivalents and other distributions with respect to the RSUs. The Grantee will receive these rights only upon the issuance of Shares.] The Company’s obligation to issue Shares is an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company, and the rights of the Grantee hereunder are no greater than those of an unsecured general creditor. No assets of the Company will be held or set aside as security for the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.
Grantee’s Representation. Grantee represents and warrants that he or she is acquiring the Restricted Stock for investment purposes only, and not with a view to distribution thereof.
Grantee’s Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Grantee’s Service or employment as a Director or Employee, or otherwise impose upon the Company or any of its Affiliates any obligation to employ or accept the services or employment of the Grantee.
Unless the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement, in another agreement with the Grantee, or otherwise in writing after such Award Agreement is issued, a Grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate upon the Grantee’s termination of Service for any reason.
The Grantee’s right to terminate employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Grantee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, except for a Disability. The Grantee’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder.
Amendment. The Committee has the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel the Restricted Stock, prospectively or retroactively; provided, that, no such amendment shall adversely affect the Grantee’s material rights under this Award without the Grantee’s consent.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns, whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale of assets, or otherwise. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Grantee’s legal representatives. All obligations imposed upon the Grantee and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Grantee’s heirs, executors, administrators, and successors.
No Employment or Other Rights. The grant of the Option shall not confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained by or in the service of the Company and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s Service at any time. The right of the Company to terminate at will the Grantee’s Service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.
Nonassignability. The Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
If such termination is due to death or Disability, all Stock Appreciation Rights held by such Grantee shall vest immediately on the date of such Grantee’s death or Disability and all such Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised within one (1) year of the date of death or Disability.
