Status as a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer (A) At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the 1933 Act Regulations and (D) at the date hereof, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 405”), including not having been and not being an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405, and the Securities, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on a Rule 405 “automatic shelf registration statement.” The Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form. At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Securities and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405.
Restriction Period and Vesting (a) The Units shall vest and the restrictions shall lapse as follows: (i) 25% of the Units shall vest and restrictions shall lapse on each anniversary of the grant date (the “Vesting Dates”) until the Units are fully vested, or (ii) earlier pursuant to this Agreement or in accordance with Section 6.8 of the Plan (the “Restriction Period”). As used herein, the term “vest” shall mean no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.
(b) If, prior to the end of the Restriction Period, the Holder’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Units that are then unvested shall vest in full, and restrictions shall lapse, as of the date of such termination. If, after twelve months of service have been rendered and prior to the end of the Restriction Period, the Holder’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of Retirement, the portion of the Award that is then unvested shall continue to vest after the date of such termination as if the Holder’s employment with the Company continued until the end of the Restriction Period.
(c) If, prior to the end of the Restriction Period, the Holder’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, or Retirement, the Units that are then unvested as of the effective date of the Holder’s termination of employment shall be forfeited by the Holder and such portion shall be cancelled by the Company.
(d) In the event of a Change in Control, as defined in the Plan, the Units shall immediately vest in full and the restrictions shall lapse as provided in Section 6.8 of the Plan; provided, however, that in the event that (i) the Units constitute the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) the Change in Control does not constitute a “change in control event’ within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Units shall not immediately vest upon such Change in Control, but instead shall vest and be payable in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in clause (i) of Section 1(a) hereof, or earlier pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof.
Termination for Any Reason Following the termination of Executive’s employment, regardless of the reason for such termination and including, without limitation, a termination of his employment by the Company for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason or upon expiration of the Employment Period, the Company will:
(i) pay Executive (or his estate in the event of his death) as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination (A) any earned but unpaid Base Salary and (B) any accrued and unused vacation pay to the extent provided by the Company’s vacation policy as in effect from time to time, through the Date of Termination;
(ii) reimburse Executive as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination for any amounts due Executive pursuant to Section 5(f) (unless such termination occurred as a result of misappropriation of funds); and
(iii) provide Executive with any compensation and/or benefits as may be due or payable to Executive in accordance with the terms and provisions of any employee benefit plans or programs of the Company. Upon any termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein, Executive (or his beneficiary, legal representative or estate, as the case may be, in the event of his death) shall be entitled to such rights in respect of any equity awards theretofore made to Executive, and to only such rights, as are provided by the plan or the award agreement pursuant to which such equity awards have been granted to Executive or other written agreement or arrangement between Executive and the Company, provided that all vested profits interests (including any vested portion of the Initial Formation Award) shall remain exchangeable for common partnership units and all vested stock options shall remain exercisable for 60 days following the Date of Termination (or if earlier, through the expiration of the scheduled term of such award).
Vesting Period The vesting period of the Restricted Stock (the “Vesting Period”) begins on the Grant Date and continues until such date as is set forth on Schedule A as the date on which the Restricted Stock is fully vested. On the first Annual Vesting Date following the date of this Agreement and each Annual Vesting Date thereafter the number of shares of Restricted Stock equal to the Annual Vesting Amount shall become vested, subject to earlier forfeiture as provided in this Agreement. To the extent that Schedule A provides for amounts or schedules of vesting that conflict with the provisions of this paragraph, the provisions of Schedule A will govern. Except as permitted under Section 10, the shares of Restricted Stock for which the applicable Vesting Period has not expired may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (whether voluntary or involuntary or by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or other legal or equitable proceeding). The Employee shall not have the right to receive cash dividends paid on shares of Restricted Stock for which the applicable Vesting Period has not expired. In lieu thereof, the Employee shall have the right to receive from the Company an amount, in cash, equal to the cash dividends payable on shares of Restricted Stock for which the applicable Vesting Period has not expired, provided the Employee is employed by the Company on the payroll date coinciding with or immediately following the date any such cash dividends are paid on the Restricted Shares. The Employee shall have the right to vote the Restricted Stock, regardless of whether the applicable Vesting Period has expired.
Restriction Period The Restriction Period with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit is the time between the Grant Date and the date such Restricted Stock Unit vests.
Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate.
Termination for Any Other Reason The expiration of three (3) months from the date of an Optionee's termination of employment or contractual relationship with the Company or any Related Corporation for any reason whatsoever other than cause, death or Disability (as defined in Section 5(g) of the Plan). Each unvested Option granted pursuant hereto shall terminate immediately upon termination of the Optionee's employment or contractual relationship with the Company for any reason whatsoever, including death or Disability unless vesting is accelerated in accordance with Section 5(f) of the Plan.
Continuous Service The Parties shall continue providing services to each other during the pendency of any dispute resolution procedure, and the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations (including making payments in accordance with Article IV, Section 4) in accordance with this Agreement.
Vesting Date All remaining shares of Restricted Stock will become vested on the Vesting Date.
