Payment. Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercised by the delivery of a notice of exercise to the Company or an agent designated by the Company in a form specified or accepted by the Compensation Committee, or by complying with any alternative procedures which may be authorized by the Compensation Committee, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Shares.

Payment. The Retention Bonus shall be paid in installments on the following dates (each, a “Payment Date”) as follows:

Payment. Each vested Restricted 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 Restricted Stock Units during the 60-day period immediately following the date on which such Restricted 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 Restricted 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. 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. The amount of the Award payable as determined by the Committee for the Performance Period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion after the end of the Performance Period, but in all events by March 15th of the calendar year following the end of the Performance Period. Award payments shall be made in cash. Except as the Committee may otherwise determine in its sole and absolute discretion, termination of a Participant’s employment prior to the end of the Performance Period will result in the forfeiture of the Award by the Participant, and no payments shall be made with respect thereto.

Payment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, you shall receive one share of Common Stock with respect to each vested RSU subject to the Award within thirty (30) days of your Termination of Directorship (such date of settlement, the “Settlement Date”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination of Directorship” means, subject to [Section 17.13] of the Plan, that you have ceased to be a director of the Company; provided, that in the event that you become an Eligible Employee or a Consultant upon your ceasing to be a director, a Termination of Directorship shall not be deemed to have occurred until such time as you have “separated from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code.

Payment. The Parties agree to settle any and all amounts owed pursuant to 1) the Consulting Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $40,000 dated March 5, 2021; and 2) the Consulting Agreement and a Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $60,000 dated March 7, 2022; as follows:

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.
