Vesting. Except as provided in Section 8(a), the vesting of your PSUs is dependent upon your remaining continuously employed with Stryker through March 21, 2019 (the “Vesting Date”) as well as upon the Company’s financial performance during the three-year period ending December 31, 2018 (the “Performance Period”). Specifically, the vesting of any of the PSUs is dependent upon attainment of the Threshold Performance Target as set forth in Section 3. If the Threshold Performance Target is attained, then the vesting of 50% of the PSUs (the “EPS PSUs”) is dependent on Adjusted EPS Growth as set forth in Section 4, and vesting of the remaining 50% of the PSUs (the “Sales Growth PSUs”) is dependent on the Sales Growth Percentile Ranking as set forth in Section 5. The actual number of your PSUs that become vested, if any, shall be determined based on exercise of negative discretion by the Committee in accordance with Sections 4, 5 and 6 below.

Vesting. Your Restricted Stock will vest as follows, provided you have not incurred a Forfeiture Condition described below:

Vesting. The Restricted Shares shall vest and be released from escrow to the Grantee under this Agreement in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2.1 and the other conditions precedent to the release from escrow of the eligible Restricted Shares.

Vesting. Thirty three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the Shares will vest on ; thirty three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the Shares will vest on ; and the remaining thirty three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the Shares will vest on . Vesting will occur only if you have continuously been an employee of the Company (or one or more of its affiliates) from the Grant Date through the applicable vesting date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, all Shares which are unvested as of the date of your termination of employment with the Company (or one or more of its affiliates) by reason of your death, Disability or Retirement shall vest immediately upon such termination, and the Restriction Period applicable to all such Shares shall expire.

Vesting. The RSUs covered by this Agreement shall become nonforfeitable and payable to Grantee pursuant to Section 7 hereof on the date that is 13 months following the Date of Grant if Grantee remains in continuous service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their successors) as of each such date.

Vesting. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, effective as of the “Closing Date” (as such term is defined in the HCS Asset Sale Agreement), the HCS Employees shall be 100% vested in their Accounts under the Plan.

Vesting. The Units and all related Dividend Equivalents shall not be delivered to the Employee and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Employee until such Units have vested based on achievement of the performance goals set forth in [Schedule A] and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Any Units earned based on achievement of the specific performance goals shall vest when the Committee certifies the payout level as a result of such performance achievement, and the Shares representing such vested Units shall be paid to the Employee no later than 90 days following the end of the performance period.

Vesting. A Participant shall become vested in his or her Matching Deferrals at the rate of one-sixtieth (1/60th) per month of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall become 100% vested in his or her Matching Deferrals if, prior to his or her Severance from Service the Participant attains age sixty-five (65), incurs a Total Disability, dies, or a Change of Control of the Company occurs.

Vesting. Effective as of September 9, 2005, a Participant’s rights to the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account (as adjusted for earnings and losses) shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

This option will become exercisable (“vest”) as to 25% of the original number of Shares on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (as defined below) and as to an additional 6.25% of the original number of Shares at the end of each successive quarter following the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date until the fourth anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date. On the fourth anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, this option will be exercisable as to all Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, “Vesting Commencement Date” shall mean ​.
