Payment. All payments under this Agreement shall be made in shares of Verizon common stock. Subject to paragraph 7(a) or 7(b), as soon as practicable after the vesting date of the applicable installment of the RSUs specified in paragraph 5(a) (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the applicable vesting date), the number of shares that shall be paid shall equal the number of RSUs that vested on the applicable vesting date (minus shares withheld for taxes). If the Participant dies before any payment due hereunder is made, such payment shall be made to the Participant’s beneficiary, as designated under paragraph 11. Once a payment has been made with respect to a RSU, the RSU shall be cancelled; however, all other terms of the Agreement, including but not limited to the Participant’s obligations and restrictions set forth in [Exhibits A] and B to this Agreement, shall remain in effect.
