Payment. The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine in each Award agreement whether the payment with respect to the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will be in the form of all cash, Shares, or any combination thereof. In the event of the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right payable in Shares, the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right shall receive that number of whole Shares of stock of the Company having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the value obtained by multiplying # the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price for the Stock Appreciation Right by # the number of Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may place a ceiling on the amount payable upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, but any such limitation shall be specified at the time that the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.

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.

Payment. In no event shall any shares be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option until the Participant has made full payment for the shares of Company Stock (including payment of the exercise price and any Applicable Withholding Taxes). Company Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows, provided that the Committee may impose such limitations and restrictions on payments with shares of Company Stock (including without limitation by “net share exercise”) as the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable:

Payment. Units shall be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock (“Stock”) on a one-for-one basis. On the earlier of # the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Specified Date”), # the fifth business day following Awardee’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation [section 1.409A-3(a)(1)])]) for any reason, and # the date of a “change in control” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation [section 1.409A-3(a)(5)])]), the Company shall deliver to Awardee (or Awardee’s estate in the event of the death of Awardee) a certificate, free and clear of any restrictive legend, representing a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of Units.

Payment. Each vested Retention Stock Unit will entitle the Participant to receive one share of Stock (or other consideration of equal value, as determined by the Committee, in the event payment is made following a Change in Control). Subject to Section 6, shares of Stock (or other consideration, as applicable) will be issued to the Participant in full settlement of vested Retention Stock Units during the 60‑day period immediately following the date on which such Retention Stock Units first became vested pursuant to Section 3. At no other time prior to the end of the Restricted Period will any Stock (or other consideration, as applicable) be issued for Retention Stock Units pursuant to the Award. After the issuance of Stock (or other consideration, as applicable) to the Participant, the Participant will own such Stock (or other consideration, as applicable) free of all restrictions described herein. The Participant will not have the right to designate the taxable year of payment.

Payment. (a) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its discretion, a Participant shall have no right to receive a payment under an Award, and in no event shall the Award be considered earned by the Participant, for a Plan Year unless the Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at all times during the Plan Year.

Payment. Buyer shall deliver to Seller, not later than five days after Closing, certificates for the SOG Common Stock portion of the Purchase Price, and the cash portion of the purchase price or a promissory note (“Purchase Price Note) for the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price; and

Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in [Section 2.10] or [Section 2.12(a), (i)])] all interest, all Letter of Credit Fees, and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month, and # all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all Lender Group Expenses shall be due and payable on the earlier of # the first day of the month following the date on which the applicable costs, expenses, or Lender Group Expenses were first incurred or # the date on which demand therefor is made by Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such costs, expenses or Lender Group Expenses to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of the following sentence shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this subclause (y)). Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, from time to time without prior notice to Borrower, to charge to the Loan Account # on the first day of each month, all interest accrued during the prior month on the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations hereunder, # on the first day of each month, all Letter of Credit Fees accrued or chargeable hereunder during the prior month, # on the first day of each month, the Unused Line Fee accrued during the prior month pursuant to [Section 2.10(b), (D)])] as and when incurred or accrued, all audit, appraisal, valuation, or other charges or fees payable hereunder pursuant to [Section 2.10(c), (E)])] as and when due and payable, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, # as and when incurred or accrued, all fees, charges, commissions, and costs provided for in [Section 2.11(j), (G)])] as and when incurred or accrued, all fees and costs provided for in [Section 2.10(a) or (c), (H)])])] as and when incurred or accrued, all other Lender Group Expenses, and # as and when due and payable all other payment obligations payable under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers in respect of Bank Products).
